The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line. Diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon (超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race’s history, aged 19. Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal—to run a 100-mile race before his 20th birthday. Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment—like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experienced ultramarathon runners—such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa’s expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time. Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused. “If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you’ll be so surprised at where they’ll end up,” Rana says. 4. How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line? A. Tired but cheerful. B. Proud and overconfident. C. Painful but peaceful. D. Comfortable and relaxed. 5. Why did Bates’ new goal surprise his family? A. Because he was diagnosed with autism. B. Because he was a cross-Country team member. C. Because he graduated from high school just now. D. Because they considered the new goal impractical. 6. Which of the following did not contribute to Bates’ success? A. Guidance from experts. B. His perseverance to the goal. C. Support from his family. D. Encouragement of team members. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Save for a rainy day. B. All we have is now. C. Nothing is impossible. D. Fortune favors the bold. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了少年Zach Bates身患自闭症却凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了超级马拉松，他成功的背后，是他对梦想的执着追求和父母无条件的支持，御风前行，把所有不可能变成可能。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Fighting through pain after running for 28 hours, and amid the sound of tired feet struggling through the Arizona dirt—finally soft, soothing (舒缓的) music could be heard over the horizon. The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line.(在经历了28个小时的痛苦奔跑之后，伴随着疲惫的双脚在亚利桑那州的泥土中挣扎的声音，终于可以听到地平线上柔和、舒缓的音乐。曾经远在100英里之外的终点线就在他面前。当Zach Bates跑过终点线时，一条小小的、轰鸣的人类胜利通道欢迎着他。)”可知，他完成了马拉松，因此可能感到很累，但很愉快。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon (超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race’s history, aged 19.(贝茨在四岁时被诊断出患有自闭症，今年早些时候，他完成了100英里超级马拉松比赛，成为该赛事历史上最年轻的选手，年仅19岁。)”可知，A项“Because he was diagnosed with autism.(因为他被诊断为自闭症。)”、B项“Because he was a cross-Country team member.(因为他曾经是学校越野队成员。)”以及C项“Because he graduated from high school just now.(因为他刚从高中毕业。)”都是他的家人们已经知道的事情，家人们并不会因为这些已知的事实而感到惊讶。根据常理推断，家人们是觉得Bates的这个新目标不太实际，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair(但他的父亲Brian找到了帮助他的方法，真正把它变成了家庭事务)”可知，Bates的成功离不开家人的全力支持；根据第三段最后一句“With Hendrix and de la Rosa’s expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time.(在Hendrix和de la Rosa的指导下，这位年轻的美国人准备参加较短的距离比赛，并在很短的时间内成功地跑到了100英里。)”可知，Bates的马拉松比赛能够顺利完成也得益于教练Hendrix和de la Rosa的专业指导，以及Bates对目标的坚持不懈。而D选项在文中并未提及。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，第一段为Bates的高光时刻，取得了马拉松比赛的胜利；第二段介绍了Bates是自闭症患者但有自己的目标；第三段介绍父母原本感到惊讶，随后全力以赴地支持Bates的理想。结合以上内容并根据本文最后一句中的“If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you’ll be so surprised at where they’ll end up(如果我们倾听孩子的心声，允许他们做他们想做的事，并支持他们，你会对他们最终的成就感到惊讶)”可知，本文主要讲的是少年Zach Bates身患自闭症却凭借自己坚强的毅力完成了超级马拉松，他成功的背后，是他对梦想的执着追求和父母无条件的支持，御风前行，把所有不可能变成可能，因此我们能从这个故事中学到没有什么是不可能的，即Nothing is impossible，故选C。 C Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond. Though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different cultures. In humans, laughter can express a range of emotions from positive feelings like enjoyment to negative ones such as disgust. But what about animals other than humans? Do they “laugh”, and are the causes of their laughter similar to those of human laughter? Many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider such sounds to be an analogue of human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play sound to see how common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while playing; most were mammals (哺乳动物), but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. This new analysis could help scientists to trace the evolutionary origins of human laughter, according to a new study. When Sasha Winkler, a doctoral candidate of biological anthropology at the University of California. Los Angeles (UCLA), previously worked with rhesus macaques (恒河猴), she had noticed that the monkeys panted (喘气) quietly while playing. Many other primates (灵长类动物) are also known to sound during play. However, reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, amphibians and reptiles, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in those animal groups. Laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play, a hypothesis supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species. “Human laughter may have evolved from a similar panting sound that over evolutionary time became the sounded ‘ha ha ha’ that we use today. People still laugh during play, but we also involve laughter in language and non-play behaviors,” Winkler said. “It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of sound during play,” Winkle told the Live Science, a science news website. “But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study.” 8. What do we know about human laughter? A. It is not shared among strangers. B. It is created out of the same reason. C. It may appear when people hate something. D. It sounds different between European and Asian. 9. What does the underlined word “analogue” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Something common. B. Something similar. C. Something symbolic. D. Something attractive. 10. Why is there a lack of reports in laughter of some animal groups? A. Because they are not well evolved and emotionless B. Because play is not a definite behavior among them. C. Because they are not as interesting as other animals. D. Because only mammals and primates are able to laugh. 11. What is probably the focus of future study on laughter? A. Distinctive features of human laughter. B. Different functions of animal laughter. C. The origin and development of human laughter. D. The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了关于“动物界存在笑声”的相关研究成果。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In humans, laughter can express a range of emotions from positive feelings like enjoyment to negative ones such as disgust. (在人类中，笑可以表达一系列的情绪，从积极的感觉，如享受到消极的感觉，如厌恶。)”可推知，人类的笑声可能出现在人们讨厌某事的时候。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction. (许多动物在玩耍时发出的声音是愉快的社会互动所特有的。)”及下文“The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while playing;most were mammals (哺乳动物), but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. (研究小组确定了65种动物在玩耍时会“笑”，其中大多数是哺乳动物，但一些鸟类也会笑。)”可知，许多动物也会发出类似于人类笑声的声音。由此可知，划线词analogue与Something similar. (类似的东西)意思接近。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, amphibians and reptiles, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in those animal groups. (然而，在描述鱼类、两栖动物和爬行动物的研究中，显然没有关于嬉戏的报道，这可能是因为这些动物群体中是否存在玩耍的问题。)”可推知，一些动物群体的笑声报道较少，因为玩耍并不是它们的一种明确行为。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study. (但我们确实发现了人类笑声的这些独特部分，这也是未来研究的重要领域。)”可知，未来对笑的研究重点可能是人类笑的不同特征。故选A。 D More than 360 million years ago, during the Devonian (泥盆纪) period, life was flourishing in spectacular fashion. As fish and invertebrates populated the seas, the first trees emerged on land. But by the end of the Devonian, more than half of all Earth’s species had disappeared in a series of mass extinctions. New research shows how tree evolution could have contributed to these extinction events. As land plants diversified, “they started to grow more complex root systems that were able to reach farther down to grab water,” says U. S. Naval Academy oceanographer Mathew Smart, lead author of the new study in the Geological Society of American Bulletin. Deep tree roots drew crucial minerals such as phosphorus (磷) out of the bedrock and then eventually decayed, forming mineral-rich soil. Periodically, large quantities of this soil were washed into the seas and lakes-where the sudden phosphorus inflow caused harmful algal blooms (藻华) that pulled oxygen from the waters below. Then came a series of large-scale extinctions. The researchers tracked this deadly pattern in five prehistoric lake beds in Scotland and Greenland. They measured a gradual phosphorus decrease in sediment layers from the middle to late Devonian, accompanied by sudden increase of the mineral with evidence of corresponding oxygen depletion (耗竭). “We’ve been working on the Devonian for a long time, and we have been thinking that these cycles have occurred, but we couldn’t really explain it,” says Anne-Christine Da Silva, a sedimentologist at the University of Liège in Belgium. “This paper could bring an explanation.” University of New Mexico planetary scientist Maya Elrick, who was also not involved in the study, says that while the oxygen depletion incidents coincided with extinctions, it is unclear how much of a role tree roots played. Phosphorus levels did gradually decrease overall as trees evolved, but she says this reduction may have already been occurring: “If it’s a trend that was happening prior, you can’t blame it on the plants.” Next, Smart’s team plans to test its results using computer models to see whether plants on land could have caused ocean-wide oxygen depletion and corresponding extinction-analysis that could also help predict modern algal blooms’ impact. 12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The evolution of land plants. B. The effect of phosphorus inflow. C. The source of crucial minerals. D. The process of mass extinctions. 13. What’s Anne-Christine Da Silva’s attitude towards the research finding? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 14. Which of the following statements does Maya Elrick agree with? A. Oxygen depletion worsened as trees evolved. B. Tree evolution can’t necessarily reveal extinctions. C. Plant extinction resulted from the mineral increase. D. Phosphorus reduction occurred before tree evolution. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A The Rise and Fall of the Devonian Period B. The Role of Phosphorus in Trees’ Evolution C. Algal Blooms Contribute to Oxygen Depletion D. Tree Roots May Have Set Off Mass Extinctions 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍最近一项研究发现泥盆纪树木根的进化可能导致了大规模的物种灭绝。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As land plants diversified, “they started to grow more complex root systems that were able to reach farther down to grab water,”says U. S. Naval Academy oceanographer Mathew Smart, lead author of the new study in the Geological Society of American Bulletin. Deep tree roots drew crucial minerals such as phosphorus (磷) out of the bedrock and then eventually decayed, forming mineral-rich soil. Periodically, large quantities of this soil were washed into the seas and lakes-where the sudden phosphorus inflow caused harmful algal blooms (藻华) that pulled oxygen from the waters below. Then came a series of large-scale extinctions. (美国海军学院海洋学家Mathew Smart是《美国地质学会公报》上这项新研究的主要作者，他说，随着陆地植物的多样化，“它们开始生长更复杂的根系，能够延伸到更远的地方取水”。深深的树根吸收了磷等重要矿物质然后最终腐烂，形成富含矿物质的土壤。周期性地，大量的这种土壤被冲入海洋和湖泊，在那里，磷的突然流入导致了有害的藻华从下面的水中抽取氧气。随后发生了一系列大规模的物种灭绝)”可知，本段主要介绍了一系列大规模的物种灭绝的过程。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““We’ve been working on the Devonian for a long time, and we have been thinking that these cycles have occurred, but we couldn’t really explain it,” says Anne-Christine Da Silva, a sedimentologist at the University of Liège in Belgium. “This paper could bring an explanation.” (“我们研究泥盆纪已经很长时间了，我们一直认为这些循环已经发生，但我们无法真正解释它，”比利时列日大学的沉积学家Anne Christine Da Silva说。“这篇论文可能会给出一个解释。”)”推知，Anne-Christine Da Silva对研究发现持支持态度。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“University of New Mexico planetary scientist Maya Elrick, who was also not involved in the study, says that while the oxygen depletion incidents coincided with extinctions, it is unclear how much of a role tree roots played. Phosphorus levels did gradually decrease overall as trees evolved, but she says this reduction may have already been occurring: “If it’s a trend that was happening prior, you can’t blame it on the plants.” (新墨西哥大学行星科学家Maya Elrick也没有参与这项研究，她说，虽然氧气耗尽事件与物种灭绝同时发生，但目前尚不清楚树根在多大程度上发挥了作用。随着树木的进化，磷水平确实总体上逐渐下降，但她说这种下降可能已经发生了：“如果这是以前发生的趋势，你不能把它归咎于植物。”)”可知，Maya Elrick认为树木进化不一定能揭示物种灭绝，因为磷的下降可能之前就已经存在了，不能完全归结于植物。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段的“New research shows how tree evolution could have contributed to these extinction events. (新的研究表明，树木的进化可能导致了这些灭绝事件)”和第二段“As land plants diversified, “they started to grow more complex root systems that were able to reach farther down to grab water,”says U. S. Naval Academy oceanographer Mathew Smart, lead author of the new study in the Geological Society of American Bulletin. Deep tree roots drew crucial minerals such as phosphorus (磷) out of the bedrock and then eventually decayed, forming mineral-rich soil.

You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.____16____ Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.____17____.And you are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interested and push them to grow. High school is a new experience. College is a new experience.____18____It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much. To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive-in movie (or some other entertainment events that are new to you).____19____ These types of experiences often result in very little “book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.____20____ Becoming a well-rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential. A. Has education changed so much in the last decade? B. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development. D. It can be valuable for you to work effectively with different people. E. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experiences in life. F. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention. G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not? 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍的是每个人都熟悉传统教育，但是追寻学习的根源，经验教育在发展过程中也起着至关重要的作用。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar. (通常来说，全新的经历会比熟悉的经历具有更多的价值)”可知，此处强调全新的经历对教育更具有意义。G选项“What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?(什么使某些经历为我们的生活增添了巨大价值，而其他经历却没有？)”引起下文，下文对该问题进行回答即全新的经历为我们的生活增添了巨大价值。故选G。 【17题详解】 句意:因为不熟悉的经历需要我们更多的关注。根据下文“And you are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. (你就会处于更好的状态来学习新知识。老实说，一个从来没有经历过两次同样事情的人永远不会有机会从学到的东西中受益)”可知，此处强调熟悉经历的重要性，因此后文应该指出，我们应该更多的注意不熟悉的经历，只有将不熟悉的经历变成熟悉的经历才能让我们从中受益。F选项“This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.(这是因为不熟悉的经历需要我们更多的注意力)”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“High school is a new experience. College is a new experience.(上中学和上大学都是一种新的体验)”及下文“It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.(不是你学不到别的东西，而是环境太熟悉了。因此，你很容易对自己的经历降低感知，也学不到很多东西)”可知，空格句需要一个和上句构成转折，和下文构成因果关系的句子。B选项“However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive.(然而，在某些时候，传统教育变得重复)”指出虽然上中学和上大学都是新的体验，可是传统教育在某些时候对我们来说太熟悉了，由此导致对自己的经历降低感知，也学不到很多东西。故选B。 【19题详解】 句意:这些都是可以延伸和扩展您的生活经历的事物。根据上文“You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive-in movie (or some other entertainment events that are new to you). (你可能会在该国的其他地区度过一个夏天，或者通过反复试验来学习一种新的语言。你也可以去看电影(或不熟悉的其他娱乐活动))”可知，此处指出延伸和扩展生活经验的几种方式。E选项“These are all things that can stretch and expand your experiences in life.(这些都是可以延伸和扩展你生活经验的事情)”符合语境，与前文呼应。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others. (相反，当你体验对不同情况的反应时，它们通常会使你对自己有更好的了解，也会让你更好地了解别人)”可知，与周围环境的互动，对其他人的了解和有效合作很重要。D选项“It can be valuable for you to work effectively with different people. (与不同的人有效地工作对你来说是很有价值的)”与前文呼应，指出当体验对不同情况的反应时即体验与不同的人有效的工作时，对自己是非常有价值的。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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be ____21____. But soon, the clouds of mosquitos seemed ____22____ to our bug spray (喷雾). I was sweating, itchy (痒的), and arguing with my son about how to ____23____ weeds. I had told him the “right” way — getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, ____24____ them entirely. However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the ____25____ of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly ____26____.

She had just started building up hours of flight time when disaster struck. As she guided the Diamond Star plane off the runway at Oakland County International airport, on her third-ever independent flight, the front tyre (轮胎) of her plane fell off. Taylor was unaware at that point that she had just lost crucial landing equipment. “I didn’t feel anything on the takeoff roll (起飞滑跑).” she said. Experienced pilot Chris Yates, though, saw something on the takeoff roll and immediately took action. He knew that Taylor would have to make a difficult emergency landing. He radioed the control tower and said, “The Diamond Star that just took off lost its nose (头部) wheel tyre on the runway.” But the control tower operators didn’t know what to do. They’d never seen such a thing happen before. Yates asked them to put him through to Taylor so he could help her. When Taylor learned what had happened, she was in panic. With only 57 total fight hours under her belt, she didn’t know what her options were and could only imagine how this was going to end. “I didn’t know what to do in that moment,” said Taylor later. “I’m just panicking and figuring out how I’m going to land this plane safely.” But Yates knew what to do. He knew that the most important thing would be to keep Taylor calm so that she could follow his instructions effectively. Yates started by reassuring (使安心) Taylor that everything was going to turn out just fine: “Taylor, this is Chris Yates. My daughter’s name is Taylor, and I taught her to fly! We’re gonna be just fine. Just take your time.” He told her that she could circle the field until she was ready to land. “When you touch down, I just want that stick (操纵杆) all the way back. You’re gonna hold that stick back like you don’t want that nose to touch,” he coached her. 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。 Despite feeling scared and unsure, Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taylor went up to Yates after she stepped out of the plane safely. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Despite feeling scared and unsure, Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions. After circling the airport a few times, she got ready to make the emergency landing. With Yates talking to her all the way, a sense of calm washed over her. “You’re doing greatly,” he encouraged, “keep that stick all the way back.” Taylor could see the runway coming up quickly. The plane touched down, the nose hitting the ground. Taylor felt the plane shaking and bouncing until it came to a complete stop. She made it! Taylor went up to Yates after she stepped out of the plane safely. With tears of gratitude in her eyes, she hugged him tightly and thanked him for his guidance during the crisis. “Had you not seen the wheel off,” Uttered Taylor, “it’s hard to think about what could have happened.” Yates praised that she had done a great job in landing the plane safely with such limited flight experience. Through misty eyes, Taylor could see the path to her career as a pilot become clearer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以飞行经验有限的Taylor为线索，讲述了在她第三次的独立飞行中，飞机起飞后，有经验的Yates发现了飞机的前轮掉落了。Yates联系了塔台，在Yates的耐心指导下，Taylor成功地将飞机安全着陆。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“尽管感到害怕和不确定，但Taylor还是相信Yates，并听从他的指挥。”可知，本段可以写Yates是如何鼓励并指导Taylor将飞机安全地着陆的。 由第二段首句内容“在Taylor安全地走出飞机后，她走向Yates。”可知，本段可以写Taylor无比感谢Yates，如果Yates没有及时发现问题，那后果不堪设想。经过这一次经历后，Taylor觉得自己的飞行之路又明亮了一些。 2.续写线索： 相信Yates，并听从他的指挥→Yates先努力让Taylor冷静下来→鼓励她并指导她如何正确地操作→飞机终于安全着陆→Taylor走出机舱，感谢Yates→Taylor觉得经历了这次事件后，她的飞行之路又明亮了一些。 3.词类激活： 行为类： 涌上心头：wash over/well up in one’s heart/flare up/sweep over 准备好做某事：get ready/be prepared/make full preparations 情绪类： 感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation 困难的：hard/difficult/tough/full of difficulty 【点睛】【高分句型1】 The plane touched down, the nose hitting the ground.(运用了独立主格。) 【高分句型2】 With Yates talking to her all the way, a sense of calm washed over her.(运用了with的复合结构。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省靖江高级中学2024—2025学年第一学期第一次阶段考试 高三英语试卷 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．Why did the police office r stop the woman?

B Fighting through pain after running for 28 hours, and amid the sound of tired feet struggling through the Arizona dirt—finally soft, soothing (舒缓的) music could be heard over the horizon. The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line. Diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon (超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race’s history, aged 19. Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal—to run a 100-mile race before his 20th birthday. Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand, but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment—like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experienced ultramarathon runners—such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa’s expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time. Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused. “If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you’ll be so surprised at where they’ll end up,” Rana says. 4. How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line? A. Tired but cheerful. B. Proud and overconfident. C. Painful but peaceful. D. Comfortable and relaxed. 5. Why did Bates’ new goal surprise his family? A. Because he was diagnosed with autism. B. Because he was a cross-Country team member. C. Because he graduated from high school just now. D. Because they considered the new goal impractical. 6. Which of the following did not contribute to Bates’ success? A. Guidance from experts. B. His perseverance to the goal. C. Support from his family. D. Encouragement of team members. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Save for a rainy day. B. All we have is now. C. Nothing is impossible. D. Fortune favors the bold. C Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond. Though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different cultures. In humans, laughter can express a range of emotions from positive feelings like enjoyment to negative ones such as disgust. But what about animals other than humans? Do they “laugh”, and are the causes of their laughter similar to those of human laughter? Many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider such sounds to be an analogue of human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play sound to see how common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while playing; most were mammals (哺乳动物), but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. This new analysis could help scientists to trace the evolutionary origins of human laughter, according to a new study. When Sasha Winkler, a doctoral candidate of biological anthropology at the University of California. Los Angeles (UCLA), previously worked with rhesus macaques (恒河猴), she had noticed that the monkeys panted (喘气) quietly while playing. Many other primates (灵长类动物) are also known to sound during play. However, reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, amphibians and reptiles, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in those animal groups. Laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play, a hypothesis supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species. “Human laughter may have evolved from a similar panting sound that over evolutionary time became the sounded ‘ha ha ha’ that we use today. People still laugh during play, but we also involve laughter in language and non-play behaviors,” Winkler said. “It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of sound during play,” Winkle told the Live Science, a science news website. “But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study.” 8. What do we know about human laughter? A. It is not shared among strangers. B. It is created out of the same reason. C. It may appear when people hate something. D. It sounds different between European and Asian. 9. What does the underlined word “analogue” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Something common. B. Something similar. C Something symbolic. D. Something attractive. 10. Why is there a lack of reports in laughter of some animal groups? A Because they are not well evolved and emotionless B. Because play is not a definite behavior among them. C. Because they are not as interesting as other animals. D. Because only mammals and primates are able to laugh. 11. What is probably the focus of future study on laughter? A. Distinctive features of human laughter. B Different functions of animal laughter. C. The origin and development of human laughter. D. The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence. D More than 360 million years ago, during the Devonian (泥盆纪) period, life was flourishing in spectacular fashion. As fish and invertebrates populated the seas, the first trees emerged on land. But by the end of the Devonian, more than half of all Earth’s species had disappeared in a series of mass extinctions. New research shows how tree evolution could have contributed to these extinction events. As land plants diversified, “they started to grow more complex root systems that were able to reach farther down to grab water,” says U. S. Naval Academy oceanographer Mathew Smart, lead author of the new study in the Geological Society of American Bulletin. Deep tree roots drew crucial minerals such as phosphorus (磷) out of the bedrock and then eventually decayed, forming mineral-rich soil. Periodically, large quantities of this soil were washed into the seas and lakes-where the sudden phosphorus inflow caused harmful algal blooms (藻华) that pulled oxygen from the waters below. Then came a series of large-scale extinctions. The researchers tracked this deadly pattern in five prehistoric lake beds in Scotland and Greenland. They measured a gradual phosphorus decrease in sediment layers from the middle to late Devonian, accompanied by sudden increase of the mineral with evidence of corresponding oxygen depletion (耗竭). “We’ve been working on the Devonian for a long time, and we have been thinking that these cycles have occurred, but we couldn’t really explain it,” says Anne-Christine Da Silva, a sedimentologist at the University of Liège in Belgium. “This paper could bring an explanation.” University of New Mexico planetary scientist Maya Elrick, who was also not involved in the study, says that while the oxygen depletion incidents coincided with extinctions, it is unclear how much of a role tree roots played. Phosphorus levels did gradually decrease overall as trees evolved, but she says this reduction may have already been occurring: “If it’s a trend that was happening prior, you can’t blame it on the plants.” Next, Smart’s team plans to test its results using computer models to see whether plants on land could have caused ocean-wide oxygen depletion and corresponding extinction-analysis that could also help predict modern algal blooms’ impact. 12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A. The evolution of land plants. B. The effect of phosphorus inflow. C. The source of crucial minerals. D. The process of mass extinctions. 13. What’s Anne-Christine Da Silva’s attitude towards the research finding? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 14. Which of the following statements does Maya Elrick agree with? A. Oxygen depletion worsened as trees evolved. B. Tree evolution can’t necessarily reveal extinctions. C. Plant extinction resulted from the mineral increase. D. Phosphorus reduction occurred before tree evolution. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise and Fall of the Devonian Period B. The Role of Phosphorus in Trees’ Evolution C. Algal Blooms Contribute to Oxygen Depletion D. Tree Roots May Have Set Off Mass Extinctions 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Experience-Based Education Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.____16____ Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.____17____.And you are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interested and push them to grow. High school is a new experience. College is a new experience.____18____It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much. To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive-in movie (or some other entertainment events that are new to you).____19____ These types of experiences often result in very little “book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.____20____ Becoming a well-rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential. A. Has education changed so much in the last decade? B. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development. D. It can be valuable for you to work effectively with different people. E. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experiences in life. F. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention. G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not? 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a sunny Sunday afternoon.

She had just started building up hours of flight time when disaster struck. As she guided the Diamond Star plane off the runway at Oakland County International airport, on her third-ever independent flight, the front tyre (轮胎) of her plane fell off. Taylor was unaware at that point that she had just lost crucial landing equipment. “I didn’t feel anything on the takeoff roll (起飞滑跑).” she said. Experienced pilot Chris Yates, though, saw something on the takeoff roll and immediately took action. He knew that Taylor would have to make a difficult emergency landing. He radioed the control tower and said, “The Diamond Star that just took off lost its nose (头部) wheel tyre on the runway.” But the control tower operators didn’t know what to do. They’d never seen such a thing happen before. Yates asked them to put him through to Taylor so he could help her. When Taylor learned what had happened, she was in panic. With only 57 total fight hours under her belt, she didn’t know what her options were and could only imagine how this was going to end. “I didn’t know what to do in that moment,” said Taylor later. “I’m just panicking and figuring out how I’m going to land this plane safely.” But Yates knew what to do. He knew that the most important thing would be to keep Taylor calm so that she could follow his instructions effectively. Yates started by reassuring (使安心) Taylor that everything was going to turn out just fine: “Taylor, this is Chris Yates. My daughter’s name is Taylor, and I taught her to fly! We’re gonna be just fine. Just take your time.” He told her that she could circle the field until she was ready to land. “When you touch down, I just want that stick (操纵杆) all the way back. You’re gonna hold that stick back like you don’t want that nose to touch,” he coached her. 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。 Despite feeling scared and unsure, Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taylor went up to Yates after she stepped out of the plane safely. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
