Then, with the swiftness of a dream, he was held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach. Overhead the sky blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spoke, one of the stars moved. In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens. And before the wonder of this could fade, another star leaped from its place, then another, plunging towards the restless sea. “What’s this?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year on a certain August night. I thought you’d like to see the show.” That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars. Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep. No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment, but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a caboose (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the “trophy table” in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers, arrowheads... I remember the thought-provoking (引人深思的) books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life. My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them. 4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now. B. The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness. C. The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars. D. The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him. 5. All the things the author remember from his childhood are ________. A. unusual and novel B. dangerous and demanding C. strange and uncommon D. educational and thought-provoking 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning. B. Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own. C. Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children. D. Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life. 7. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Limitless knowledge B. Father, the hero of my life C. Curiosity aroused that night D. The unusual things in my life 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。几十年前的一个夏日夜晚父亲抱起熟睡的作者，带作者去看流星，作者在多年后依然对这个夜晚记忆犹新。除此之外，作者还记得许多和父亲一起做的特殊事情，父亲通过一些小事激发作者的好奇心。作者意识到开阔孩子的视野并不需要花费很多时间，只需经常和孩子们一起做一些事情。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句前面的“That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful.(仅此而已：只是对神秘而美丽事物的意外一瞥。)”并结合上文父亲抱着熟睡的作者去看流星的场景可知，在这个夜晚，作者看到了神秘而美丽的流星雨，再根据画线句“But, back in bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.(但是，回到床上，孩子在黑暗中凝视了很长一段时间，知道在安静的房子周围，夜晚充满了星星落下的无声音乐。)”可推知，作者回到床上躺着后，依然沉浸在刚刚看到的美丽景色之中。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep(我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整夜晚的睡眠更重要)”和“What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a caboose (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the ‘trophy table’ in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers, arrowheads...(我记得的是流星的夜晚，我们坐在列车末尾的职工车厢里的那一天，我们制作的真的很管用的电报，还有餐厅里的‘奖杯桌’，在那里我们这些孩子被鼓励展示我们发现的东西——任何不寻常或美丽的东西——蛇皮、贝壳、花、箭头……)”可推出，作者记得的童年里的那些事物都非常独特、新颖。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)”可知，父亲为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域，激发出了他们探索的兴趣。由此可推测出，父母应该鼓励孩子们保持好奇心，探索生活中的新事物。故选D 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文首先描述了几十年前的一个夏日夜晚父亲抱起熟睡的作者，带作者去看流星，再根据第五段中的“Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep.(几十年过去了，但我仍然记得那个夜晚，因为我是一个幸运的男孩，他的父亲认为，对一个小男孩来说，一次新的经历比一个完整的夜晚更重要。)”和最后一段中的“My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. (我父亲有一种了不起的天赋，那就是为他的孩子们打开大门，带领他们进入一个崭新的领域。)”可知，那个夜晚父亲让作者体验了新的事物，父亲总能够激发孩子们去探索新事物，使孩子保持好奇心。由此可推测出，C项“那晚激发的好奇心”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 C A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests. And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration. There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books. The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library. 8. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph l mean? A. Visually appealing. B. Similarly private. C. Spiritually relaxing. D. Economically practical. 9. Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones? A. Paper books are cheaper than smartphones. B. Paper books are easier to carry around. C. Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment. D. Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The popularity of TikTok in New York. B. A gathering attended by strangers free of charge. C. A new reading trend integrating the old and new. D. Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers. 11. Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4? A. To highlight her success in parenting the children. B. To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits. C. To criticize the lack of interest in performance among family members. D. To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Z世代和千禧一代喜欢去图书馆的原因、新的读书方式、作者的读书见解。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and—as my 11-year-old would say—‘aesthetic’. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video.”（年轻人喜欢图书馆，因为它们安全、舒适、免费，而且——正如我11岁的儿子所说——‘aesthetic’。这意味着它们在Instagram帖子或TikTok视频的背景中看起来很好。）可知，划线词aesthetic意思是“有美感的，视觉上吸引人的”。A. Visually appealing视觉上很吸引人；B. Similarly private同样私密；C. Spiritually relaxing精神放松；D. Economically practical经济实用。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.”（尽管他们口袋里有智能手机，这种有史以来最具干扰性的设备，许多人还是故意选择拿起一件15世纪的技术。他们喜欢书籍是自成一体的，需要集中注意力。）可知，许多年轻人选择阅读纸质书籍是因为纸质书籍提供了一个无干扰的阅读体验。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.”（例如，在纽约，最新的TikTok热潮是在酒吧里与陌生人一起阅读。你必须提前买票，然后大家聚在一起，安静地坐30分钟，读你带来的任何一本书。就像去图书馆的昂贵版本，除了之后你们都喝一杯，谈论书。）可知，第三段主要讲的是一种融合了旧与新的新的阅读趋势。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a ‘family reading hour’, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬).”（有一次，在雄心勃勃的育儿冲动下，我推出了“家庭阅读时间”，在此期间，我的丈夫和孩子们被迫和我一起在炉边默读。如果我们戴上大礼帽，穿上裙衬，也不会感觉更有表演感。）可知，作者提到“家庭阅读时间”是为了说明她试图将个人和共同的阅读习惯结合起来。故选B。 D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。 【点睛】 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。 Tips for Planning a Nature Walk With Your Child When it comes to planning a nature walk, the key tip to keep in mind is to have fun with it! ____16____ If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.

G. Give them the freedom to play in their own ways. 【答案】16 D 17. E 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了计划与孩子一起在大自然散步的几点建议。 【16题详解】 后文“If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.(如果孩子们有机会体验大自然，即使是简单的方式，互动和参与也会自然而然地随之而来)”谈到，如果给予孩子探索自然的机会，即便是简单的方式，孩子也会自然地互动和参与起来，据此可以推断出此处应该谈到大自然散步是一件并不复杂的事情，D项“自然漫步并不一定要很复杂”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据前文“If your little one is anxious to crawl (爬) in the dirt to get a better look at worms, then go for it!(如果你的孩子急于在泥土里爬，以便更好地观察蠕虫，那就去做吧)”和后文“Research suggests that kids who play the dirt are exposed to bacteria, germs and viruses that can help build their immune (免疫) system and reduce the risks of certain allergies and illnesses later in life.(研究表明，玩泥巴的孩子会接触到细菌、病菌和病毒，这些细菌和病毒可以帮助他们建立免疫系统，降低日后患某些过敏和疾病的风险)”可知，此处与dirt有关，结合后文谈到的好处可以推断出于dirt的优缺点有关，E项“肮脏可能会有坏名声，但它不应该”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“Encourage them to stop to turn over rocks, touch moss, and when they can, climb on and over rocks and fallen trees. Whatever the environment, which you assess for any unreasonable danger, the children can set the pace — stimulating confidence, flexibility, problem-solving, creativity, and a sense of wonder.(鼓励他们停下来翻石头，摸苔藓，如果可以的话，爬上石头和倒下的树。无论环境如何，你评估任何不合理的危险，孩子们都可以设定节奏——激发信心，灵活性，解决问题的能力，创造力和惊奇感)”可知，本段谈到鼓励孩子们多去跟大自然接触，去体验不同的环境，家长在确保环境安全的前提下，让孩子确定与大自然接触的节奏，B项“让孩子们带路”符合本段主旨，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Get creative.(变得有创造力)”可知，本段于创造力有关，结合本段末句“Collecting rocks while on your nature walk can later he painted and re-purposed as beautiful works of art(在大自然中散步时收集的岩石可以在以后被他绘画并重新利用为美丽的艺术品)”可知，C项“大自然对激发孩子的创造力再合适不过了”符合本段主题，故选C。 【20题详解】 结合本段小标题“Let older children be more adventurous.(让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神)”可知，本段主题是“让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神”，前文“With older kids, you can encourage them to connect with nature on a deeper level by exploring their senses.(对于大一点的孩子，你可以通过探索他们的感官来鼓励他们与自然建立更深层次的联系)”提到通过探索感官来鼓励孩子接触大自然，F项“试着让他们赤脚在不同的地面上行走”是具体的方法，故选F。 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a trip to San Diego, my husband Dan and I came across two stars, Gracie and Billy, at the Bahia Resort Hotel.

Chagan is the only place in China ____37____ you can still find fishermen using a Mongolian fishing method that dates back centuries and has ____38____ (bare) changed over time. Holes are drilled in the ice ____39____ (lower) a 2-kilometer-long net into position underwater. Once it fills up with fish, the net is pulled out of the water using a giant wheel ____40____ (turn) by Mongolian horses. The largest fish in the season’s first catch is believed to be lucky, and will go to the highest bidder at the auction (拍卖). To ensure that this tradition can continue ____41____ damaging the lake’s ecology, fishermen keep nature in mind throughout the process. Avoiding the use of modem vehicles helps reduce the chance of polluting the lake water, and ____42____ number of fish that can ____43____ (catch) is capped to ensure that there will be fish for years to come. Also, over the past few years, the money from the auction has been invested into protecting the lake and surrounding environment. And during the summer, private fishing without ____44____ (permit) is strictly prohibited. These preservative measures _____45_____ (keep) the tradition alive for thousands of years and certainly will be passed on to future generations. 【答案】36. lakes 37. where 38. barely 39. to lower 40. turned 41. without 42. the 43. be caught 44. permission 45. have kept 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了查干湖冬捕的传统以及为保护查干湖生态所采取的措施。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：一千多年来，每年渔民们都会冒着零下的气温、刺骨的寒风和厚厚的积雪，在查干湖——我国最大的淡水湖之一，搜寻水下的财富。“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定短语，表示“最……的……之一”用lake的复数形式lakes。故填lakes。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：查干湖是中国唯一一个你仍然可以发现渔民使用蒙古捕鱼方法的地方，这种方法可以追溯到几个世纪以前，并且随着时间的流逝几乎没有什么改变。“ you can still find fishermen using...”为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the only place，关系词将其代入定语从句中作地点状语，表示“在这个地方”，应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：查干湖是中国唯一一个你仍然可以发现渔民使用蒙古捕鱼方法的地方，这种方法可以追溯到几个世纪以前，并且随着时间的流逝几乎没有什么改变。提示词修饰谓语动词has changed，用副词barely作状语，意为“几乎不，几乎没有”。故填barely。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在冰上钻洞是为了把长达2公里网放到水下的位置。are drilled为谓语动词，所以空处应用非谓语动词形式；结合句意，“(lower) a 2-kilometer-long net into position underwater”是“Holes are drilled in the ice”的目的，用不定式作目的状语。故填to lower。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦网里装满了鱼，就用蒙古马转动的一个巨大的轮子把网从水里拉出来。“(turn) by Mongolian horses”作后置定语，turn(转动)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语a giant wheel之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填turned。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：为了确保这一传统能够在不破坏湖泊生态的情况下继续下去，渔民们在整个过程中都考虑到了自然。根据句意和空格后动名词damaging可知，表示“不破坏湖泊生态”，用介词without构成介词短语作状语。故填without。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：可以捕捞的鱼的数量是有限的，以确保未来几年都会有鱼。the number of…是固定短语，意为“……的数量”，作主语。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查语态。句意：可以捕捞的鱼的数量是有限的，以确保未来几年都会有鱼。catch(捕捞)作定语从句谓语动词，与主语that(即先行词fish)之间是被动关系，用被动语态，空格前有情态动词can，助动词用原形。故填be caught。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：在夏天，未经许可的私人捕鱼被严格禁止。空处应填名词作介词without的宾语，permit为动词，其名词形式为permission，意为“许可；允许”，为不可数名词。故填permission。 【45题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这些保护措施使这一传统延续了数千年，并且肯定会传承给后代。keep(保持)是句中谓语动词，与主语These preservative measures之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语for thousands of years，描述从过去持续到现在的动作，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，复数形式。故填have kept。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 你校英文报正在为即将到来的体育节征集体育项目，请你推荐一项有益的球类运动。内容包括： 1. 阐述该项目的优点； 2. 说明开展的可行性。 注意: 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ball Game Fun: Try It! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Ball Game Fun: Try It!

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 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。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, he saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. Jeffery felt relieved and delighted to see the girl staying safe and sound. Trying to calm himself, Jeffery decided to talk to her gently. He inquired about her name and why she had left home. “I was going to Grandma’s house. My mom wouldn’t let me go.” Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor. “Your parents are searching for you, and they’ll be here soon,” he assured her, and the little girl gave him a small smile. A few minutes later, the police and another car approached them. A woman got out of the vehicle and rushed toward Sarah. The little girl got up and ran to her, yelling, “Mommy!” The police officers approached Jeffrey and he told them the entire story and how he regretted not letting her on the bus, so he came to find her. Sarah’s parents thanked him for what he had done. From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了公交车司机Jeffrey一开始拒绝让没有钱的小女孩上车，后来他在Facebook上看到女孩失踪的消息，意识到自己的错误并努力将她找回的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，他看见一个小小的身影坐在原地的长凳上。”可知，第一段可描写Jeffrey抵达公交站并发现小女孩仍然坐在那里的情形以及他对自己行为的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，警察和另一辆车靠近了他们。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩与她的父母团聚的感人瞬间，以及他们对Jeffrey的感谢及Jeffrey的变化。 2.续写线索：车站看到小姑娘——感到欣慰——安慰小姑娘——女孩与父母团聚——女孩父母感谢——Jeffrey的变化。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：inquire/question/query ②大喊：yell/shout/scream ③靠近；接近：approach/draw near/come near to 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/happy/pleased ②温柔地：gently/lightly/softly ③向……保证；确保：assure/guarantee/ensure 【点睛】【高分句型1】Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】 From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job.(运用了who和that引导的定语从句和because引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期高三第二次月考试题 英语 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

B One summer night in a seaside cottage, a boy felt himself lifted from bed. Then, with the swiftness of a dream, he was held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach. Overhead the sky blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father spoke, one of the stars moved. In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens. And before the wonder of this could fade, another star leaped from its place, then another, plunging towards the restless sea. “What’s this?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year on a certain August night. I thought you’d like to see the show.” That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared for a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars. Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep. No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment, but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a caboose (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the “trophy table” in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins, seashells, flowers, arrowheads... I remember the thought-provoking (引人深思的) books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life. My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid newness. This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them. 4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now. B. The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness. C. The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars. D. The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him. 5. All the things the author remember from his childhood are ________. A. unusual and novel B. dangerous and demanding C. strange and uncommon D. educational and thought-provoking 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning. B. Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own. C. Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children. D. Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life. 7. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Limitless knowledge B. Father, the hero of my life C. Curiosity aroused that night D. The unusual things in my life C A recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials (千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests. And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration. There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books. The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library. 8. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph l mean? A. Visually appealing. B. Similarly private. C. Spiritually relaxing. D. Economically practical. 9. Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones? A. Paper books are cheaper than smartphones. B. Paper books are easier to carry around. C. Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment. D. Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The popularity of TikTok in New York. B. A gathering attended by strangers free of charge. C. A new reading trend integrating the old and new. D. Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers. 11. Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4? A. To highlight her success in parenting the children. B. To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits. C. To criticize the lack of interest in performance among family members. D To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities. D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 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。 Tips for Planning a Nature Walk With Your Child When it comes to planning a nature walk, the key tip to keep in mind is to have fun with it! ____16____ If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 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。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
