The Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Guild will be demonstrating the craft at this year's Great Yorkshire Show. Find out about the eye-catching structures. Winding their way across some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. for many hundreds of years, dry stone walls remain a typical and much-loved feature of the Yorkshire countryside. The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors are no exception. Dry stone walling is an old craft which marks the boundaries between fields and parcels of land. The walls are built without using any cement (水泥) jointing and the walls fit in with the surroundings, providing shelter and habitat for a wide range of animals and insects. They can last for more than a lifetime and need repairing and preserving. However, far from dying out, the craft is alive and kicking all over the county. The Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Guild (YDSWG) was founded 20 years or so ago and is dedicated to the craft. It is a voluntary, non-profit-making organisation with around 130 members. Its aim is to preserve the walls and the skills involved in building and maintaining them. It also encourages an interest in the history of dry stone walls. Brian Wood, secretary of the YDSWG, told us about their involvement with the Great Yorkshire Show. “Last year we finished a wall we were building around the pond near the showground's Brown Gate. The Guild hopes to build more walls and we look forward to meeting all our enthusiasts again. Hope you will lay a stone or two as you have done in the past.” 1. What do we know about dry stone walls? A. They are newly discovered. B. They hold no more appeal to the public. C. They now face extinction. D. They are harmonious with the environment. 2. What is the Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Guild aimed at? A. Training craftsmen. B. Preserving the tradition. C. Promoting tourism. D. Enrolling volunteers 3. In which section of a website is this text most likely to appear? A. Local. B. Fashion. C. Opinion. D. People. B The language of Gaelic has been spoken in Scotland since at least the 10th century and was at one time the country’s main language, widespread in towns and cities across the nation. Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century, though, it has been in decline. These days you are most likely to find native Gaelic speakers in the Highlands of Scotland, with concerns having been raised about the future of the language. Now, a new initiative from Community cafe and Gaelic cultural centre seeks to turn the tide with the release of the first Gaelic edition of the board game Scrabble. Titled Scrabble Gàidhlig, it contains only the 18 letters found in the Gaelic alphabet and includes the grave accent on vowels À È Ì Ò and Ù. The frequency with which each letter appears has been reconsidered to reflect its usage in Gaelic, and scoring has been reformulated (重新设定) to reflect the respective ease and difficulty of using different letters in the language. “We worked closely on the development of the new game with the team at An Taigh Cèilidh, who have done a fantastic job of localizing the material and ensuring that the game plays really well,” said CEO Jim Harrison. “I hope everyone enjoys playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.” “It will help people improve their oral skills and the range of their vocabulary in Gaelic,” said McLeod, professor of Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh. “In particular, many Gaelic speakers are not very confident with their written Gaelic and Gaelic Scrabble could give them a valuable boost. It will be very helpful for Gaelic learners too. Gaelic spelling is very logical once you are familiar with the system, but it does take time to master it.” Scrabble was invented in 1948 and has been common in UK homes ever since, with about half of all households owning at least one set. It is sold in more than 120 countries and available in 28 languages and counting. 4. Why was Scrabble Gàidhlig invented? A To help keep a declining language alive. B. To add a new type to board games. C. To help reunite the two countries. D. To promote a language game. 5. What is discussed about Scrabble Gàidhlig in paragraph 3? A. Its origin. B. Its feature. C. Its advantage. D. Its function. 6. How will Scrabble Gàidhlig benefit its users according to Prof McLeod? A. It will improve their language competence. B. It will boost their confidence in socializing. C. It will raise their interest in the board game. D. It will enhance their hands-on ability. 7. What is the last paragraph intended to do? A. Add some background information. B. Make some further predictions. C. Raise a reasonable doubt. D. Introduce a global trend. C You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school. Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers? This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking. This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life. 8. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking? A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need. C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance. 9. What plays the most crucial role in school success? A The course content. B. The school environment. C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking. 10. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4? A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to. 11 The book is organized according to ________. A. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers D Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life. In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face. One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever. Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories. Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada. 12. Why is HWO to be built? A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets. C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars. C. The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars. 14. What challenges planet detection around binary stars? A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars. C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres. 15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph? A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts. C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets. 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。 In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings.____16____ Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin. Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. ____17____ The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass.____18____This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors. Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies.____19____As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms. ____20____One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group. A. This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days. B. It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings. C. This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates. D. It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower. E. These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions. F. The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders. G. The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night. 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） 阅读下列短文，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。 My mother has always been one of those rare people that sees the good in everyone and does good things.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince 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。 After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABCAC 6—10 CBACA 11—15 CBBAC 16—20 AABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 三明一中2024-2025学年上学期10月月考试卷 高三英语 本试卷共12页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1、答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号填写在答题卡上，将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2、作答选择题时，每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液，不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4、考生必须保持答题卡的整洁；考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第I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，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.

Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century, though, it has been in decline. These days you are most likely to find native Gaelic speakers in the Highlands of Scotland, with concerns having been raised about the future of the language. Now, a new initiative from Community cafe and Gaelic cultural centre seeks to turn the tide with the release of the first Gaelic edition of the board game Scrabble. Titled Scrabble Gàidhlig, it contains only the 18 letters found in the Gaelic alphabet and includes the grave accent on vowels À È Ì Ò and Ù. The frequency with which each letter appears has been reconsidered to reflect its usage in Gaelic, and scoring has been reformulated (重新设定) to reflect the respective ease and difficulty of using different letters in the language. “We worked closely on the development of the new game with the team at An Taigh Cèilidh, who have done a fantastic job of localizing the material and ensuring that the game plays really well,” said CEO Jim Harrison. “I hope everyone enjoys playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.” “It will help people improve their oral skills and the range of their vocabulary in Gaelic,” said McLeod, professor of Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh. “In particular, many Gaelic speakers are not very confident with their written Gaelic and Gaelic Scrabble could give them a valuable boost. It will be very helpful for Gaelic learners too. Gaelic spelling is very logical once you are familiar with the system, but it does take time to master it.” Scrabble was invented in 1948 and has been common in UK homes ever since, with about half of all households owning at least one set. It is sold in more than 120 countries and available in 28 languages and counting. 4. Why was Scrabble Gàidhlig invented? A. To help keep a declining language alive. B. To add a new type to board games. C. To help reunite the two countries. D. To promote a language game. 5. What is discussed about Scrabble Gàidhlig in paragraph 3? A. Its origin. B. Its feature. C. Its advantage. D. Its function. 6. How will Scrabble Gàidhlig benefit its users according to Prof McLeod? A. It will improve their language competence. B. It will boost their confidence in socializing. C. It will raise their interest in the board game. D. It will enhance their hands-on ability. 7. What is the last paragraph intended to do? A. Add some background information. B. Make some further predictions. C. Raise a reasonable doubt. D. Introduce a global trend. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了苏格兰盖尔语的历史现状，以及为促进该语言传承而推出的创新举措——首个盖尔语版拼字游戏Scrabble Gàidhlig的开发与意义。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century, though, it has been in decline.(然而，自18世纪初苏格兰和英格兰联合以来，它一直在衰落)”和第二段“Now, a new initiative from Community cafe and Gaelic cultural centre seeks to turn the tide with the release of the first Gaelic edition of the board game Scrabble.(现在，社区咖啡馆和盖尔文化中心的一项新举措试图通过发行第一款盖尔语版的棋盘游戏拼字游戏来扭转局势)”可知，Scrabble Gàidhlig的发明是为了帮助一种日渐衰落的语言保持活力。故选A项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Titled Scrabble Gàidhlig, it contains only the 18 letters found in the Gaelic alphabet and includes the grave accent on vowels À È Ì Ò and Ù. The frequency with which each letter appears has been reconsidered to reflect its usage in Gaelic, and scoring has been reformulated to reflect the respective ease and difficulty of using different letters in the language.(这款名为Scrabble Gàidhlig的游戏仅使用盖尔语字母表中的18个字母，并且包含了带重音符号的元音字母À、È、Ì、Ò和Ù。每个字母的出现频率都经过了重新考量，以匹配它们在盖尔语中的实际使用情况，同时，计分系统也经过了重新设定，旨在体现出使用该语言中不同字母的相对难易程度)”可知，本段主要讨论了Scrabble Gàidhlig的特点。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““It will help people improve their oral skills and the range of their vocabulary in Gaelic,” said McLeod, professor of Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh. (爱丁堡大学盖尔语教授麦克劳德说：“这将有助于人们提高盖尔语的口语技能和词汇量”)”可知，Scrabble Gàidhlig将通过提高用户的口语技能和词汇范围来增强他们的语言能力。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Scrabble was invented in 1948 and has been common in UK homes ever since, with about half of all households owning at least one set. It is sold in more than 120 countries and available in 28 languages and counting.(拼字游戏于1948年发明，此后在英国家庭中很常见，大约一半的家庭至少拥有一套。它在120多个国家销售，有28种语言可供选择，而且还在不断增加)”可知，最后一段增加了Scrabble的背景信息，说明自1948年发明以来，它在英国的普及程度以及它的全球影响力。故选A项。 C You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school. Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers? This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking. This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life. 8. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking? A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need. C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance. 9. What plays the most crucial role in school success? A. The course content. B. The school environment. C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking. 10. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4? A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to. 11. The book is organized according to ________. A. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了思考的重要性以及介绍了一本使用思维工具的书。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it.(更糟糕的是，很少有人意识到思考在他们的生活中发挥的强大作用，所以他们没有得到重要的控制)”可知，很多人缺乏动力去改变他们糟糕的想法因为他们没有意识到这种需要。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school.(如果你缺乏思考课程内容所必需的智力技能，你就不会在学校取得成功)”可知，个人思考品质对学校的成功起着最关键的作用。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to(这本书将告诉你最优秀的思考者使用的工具，并将练习你可以用来开始……)”以及后文“and take control of your destiny as a thinker(控制你作为思考者的命运)”可知，这本书将告诉你最优秀的思考者使用的工具，并将说明你可以用来以他们为榜样进行活动和练习，从而控制你作为思考者的命运。故划线词意思是“以……为榜样”。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.(每一章都侧重于这些思维辅助工具的不同方面，帮助你发现自己思维的力量和你系统思考自己思维的潜力)”可知，这本书是根据思维工具的多样性组织的。故选B。 D Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life. In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face. One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever. Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories. Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada. 12. Why is HWO to be built? A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets. C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars. C The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars. 14. What challenges planet detection around binary stars? A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars. C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres. 15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph? A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts. C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了美国宇航局计划在本世纪40年代发射宜居世界天文台（HWO），并对可能的目标星系进行了研究，以准备进行寻找外星生命的先进搜索。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段 the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist.（在本世纪40年代，美国宇航局计划发射宜居世界天文台（HWO）。它的主要目标是在类似太阳的星系的宜居区域拍摄大约25个类地行星——那里可能存在水甚至生命。）可知，HWO的建设是为了拍摄行星的照片。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.”（其中之一就是选择距离地球100光年以内的恒星作为望远镜的目标。加州大学伯克利分校的 Caleb Harada 和他的团队分析了164颗潜在恒星，以确定它们的特征。这些恒星可能成为有史以来研究最多的恒星之一。）可知，这一段主要讲述了寻找合适的恒星的挑战，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see”（ 如果双星靠得太近，未被遮挡的恒星发出的光就会太亮，遮住行星，使它们很难被看到）可知，双星周围的行星探测面临紧密间隔的双星的挑战。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions”（一些恒星有时也会爆发出明亮的火焰，就像太阳的耀斑一样，这并不总是致命的。但我们需要仔细检查它们是否太强，因为它们会影响生命和生活条件）可知，恒星的强烈爆发会阻止生命的形成。故选B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。 In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings.____16____ Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin. Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. ____17____ The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass.____18____This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors. Most traditional skywells include water features such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies.____19____As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms. ____20____One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group. A. This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days. B. It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings. C. This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates. D. It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower. E. These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions. F. The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders. G.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince 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。 After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday. Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了让父亲开心，于是和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好，让父亲可以和朋友出海，父亲也非常感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后，我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了那天，我们都迫不及待地想给他一个惊喜”可知，第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。 2.续写线索：开始修理船——完成修复工作——给父亲惊喜——父亲感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②修理：repair/fix up ③完成：complete/finish 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/glad ②值得的：rewarding/worthy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration.
