Pan Macmillan, £35. Around the World in 80 Birds Inspiring secrets, national pride or scientific discoveries, every bird has a story to tell, from the weaver bird building multi-nest “apartment blocks” in Namibia to the bar-headed goose taking on a twice-yearly trans-Himalayan journey at an extreme altitude. Mike Unwin’s tour is accompanied by beautiful illustrations from Ryuto Miyake Laurence King Publishing, £38 Flamingo Biologist and photographer Claudio Contreras Koob spent 20 years travelling deep into the wet lands and forests of his native Mexico-and beyond-to feed his flamingo attraction.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本与鸟类有关的书籍。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Around the World in 80 Birds部分中描述的“Mike Unwin’s tour is accompanied by beautiful illustrations from Ryuto Miyake. Laurence King Publishing, £38.”（Mike Unwin的旅行伴随着三宅龙的美丽插图。劳伦斯·金出版社，38英镑。）可知，由Ryuto Miyake插画的《八十只鸟环游世界》最贵。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Flamingo部分中描述的“This book offers a unique window into the behavior and life of red-feathered birds, with more than 120 show-stopping shots displaying their beauty.”（这本书为了解红羽毛鸟类的行为和生活提供了一个独特的窗口，有120多张令人惊叹的照片展示了它们的美丽。）可知，《火烈鸟》这本书最适合那些对红色羽毛的鸟类感兴趣的人。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the Birds部分中的描述“Explore this updated version of the 1968 title, Galapagos Islands of Birds, by late bird expert Bryan Nelson, with previously unpublished material from his wife, June.”（探索已故鸟类专家Bryan Nelson在1968年出版的《加拉帕戈斯群岛鸟类》的更新版本，以及他妻子June之前未发表的材料。）可知，该书的内容有更新过，这是与文中提到的另外三本书不同的地方。故选D项。 B One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care (寄养), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college, hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it. Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Chairity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella. Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn’t work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I’m really close with my family, and I just couldn’t imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says. At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What’s not being met for these young people?” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings. Paparella contacted her parents’ friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients’ faces when they received a bed, a couch-whatever-was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints. Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees. “It makes me feel like I’m not different from other people. My whole life, I’ve felt abnormal,” she says, “Now, I feel normal.” 4. Which doesn’t agree with Chairity of the text? A. It is located in Ohio. B. It was founded by Paparella. C. It is a nonprofit organization. D It provides furniture and household goods for the old. 5. What made Paparella first become aware of foster care? A. She got happiness from foster care. B. Her parents were working at foster care. C. Her parents were considering adopting a child. D. She would make a lot of money from foster care. 6. What touched Paparella most at the age of 16? A. Living without parents. B. Moving into a new house. C. Getting free truck delivery. D. Visiting a foster care center. 7. What does Leszyeski think of Chairity? A. It changes young adults’ whole life. B. It brings confidence to the recipients. C. It has helped lots of homeless people. D. It makes people different from others. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Leszyeski在18岁时从寄养中心搬出来独立生活，她的住处只有一张简易破旧的床垫，没有任何家具。她后来了解并联系到一个由Paparella组建的公益组织。该非营利性机构通过为刚刚离开寄养中心的孩子们提供家具及其他家居用品，让他们找到了人生的希望和自信。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后三句“The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Chairity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella.(该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家居用品。莱切斯基联系了由23岁的Maria Paparella成立的非营利组织Chairity)”可知，Chairity是由Paparella发起成立的一个非盈利性的组织，用于帮助那些离开寄养家庭的年轻人，而非老年人。所以D项陈述与文章内容不一致。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. (Paparella第一次意识到寄养是在小学，当时她的父母正在考虑收养一个孩子)”可知，Paparella父母考虑收养一个孩子的事，让Paparella初次了解到寄养中心。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. (16岁时，帕帕雷拉带着一系列问题来到萨米特县儿童服务中心，试图了解年龄超限之后是什么样子的)”，以及“The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings. (‘搬进一间没有床睡、没有沙发坐的公寓’的想法牵动了她的心弦)”可知，16岁时最让她有所触动的是参观一家寄养中心的经历。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees. (帕帕雷拉相信，这些捐赠给了接受者希望和信心。Leszyeski对此表示同意)”以及“It makes me feel like I’m not different from other people. My whole life, I’ve felt abnormal, …, Now, I feel normal.(这让我觉得我和其他人没有什么不同。我之前觉得我一生不正常，现在我感觉自己很正常了)”可知，Leszyeski认为这个组织给她带来了信心和希望。故选B项。 C Do you often compare yourself to other people? Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap. Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else. Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. Although comparing can be good for you, it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap. This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing. Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence. She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, Goddard-Hill says, “Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.” “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve. If your feelings depend on what other people are doing, “Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” suggests Goddard-Hill. Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you. If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you are failing in any way, unfollow them. “Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says. Finally, focus on your own achievements and how you can improve. “The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill. 8. How does a comparison trap affect us? A. It makes us focus on our own behaviour. B. It stops us from learning from each other. C. It prevents us from living happily together. D. It bases our feelings on others’ achievements. 9. What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”? A. Both of them usually enhance our confidence. B. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. C. The former is positive while the latter is negative. D. The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad. 10. What does Goddard-Hill suggest? A. Aiming to be our best. B. Trying to be the best. C. Trying to be a cheerleader. D. Valuing someone else’s achievements. 11. In which section of the magazine can you find the passage? A. Achievement. B. Entertainment. C. Health. D. Politics. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在我们的生活中，我们经常容易陷入比较陷阱，从而影响自己。专家建议我们要关注自己，和自己比较。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although comparing can be good for you, it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap. This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.(虽然比较对你有好处，但并不总是有帮助的，你会发现自己陷入了比较的陷阱。这是指你总是拿自己和别人比较，把自己的感受建立在他们似乎做得有多好上。)”可知，比较陷阱会让我们总是把自己的感受建立在别人的成就上。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, Goddard-Hill says, “Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.” “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, says Goddard-Hill, but it can also stop you wanting to improve.(她说，比较会让我们自我感觉良好或糟糕。“攀比”是指看到别人做得比你好，并以此激励自己设定更高的目标，更加努力。然而，Goddard-Hill说：“有时它会让你对自己感觉很糟糕，打击你的信心。”“比差”是指你看到某人做得好像没有你好。Goddard-Hill说，这可能会让你觉得自己做得很好，但也会让你不想提高。)”可知，攀比和比差都既有优点又有缺点。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, focus on your own achievements and how you can improve. “The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.(最后，关注你自己的成就以及如何提高。“你能与之竞争的最好的人就是你自己，”Goddard-Hill说。)”可知，Becky Goddard-Hill建议我们与自己竞争，力争做最好的自己就好。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence. She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. (Becky Goddard-Hill是一名儿童治疗师（帮助孩子理解自己感受的人），也是《创造你自己的自信》一书的作者。她说，比较会让我们自我感觉良好或糟糕。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是比较会让我们的心理不健康，所以这篇文章选自健康专栏。故选C。 D Holding the large and heavy “brick” cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future. Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search，connect,like and buy. Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people. “My most negative opinion is we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC, the Mobile World Congress, the world’s biggest wireless trade show, where he was getting a lifetime award. Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences.” Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier. Cooper used the Dyna-TAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T. It was literally the world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches. Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market. The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution (革命). Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones. He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body,” possibly as sensors“measuring your health at all times.” Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin. 12. What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A smartphone. B. A Motorola prototype. C. A “brick” cellphone. D. An original cellphone. 13. What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone? A. Most negative. B. Very subjective. C. Doubtful and Disapproving. D. Optimistic but also concerned. 14. What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5? A. They should be provided with a different Internet from adults. B. They should have easy access to various Internets. C. They should be introduced to different audiences. D. They should use various Internets for learning materials. 15. According to Cooper, how might smartphones be powered in the future? A By body sensors. B. By human body. C. By solar energy. D. By advanced batteries. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了“手机之父”马丁·库珀在接受采访时谈了自己对目前智能手机的一些看法以及他对智能手机未来的一些构想。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的定语从句“where we search，connect, like and buy.(我们可以在那里搜索、连接、点赞和购买。)”可知，划线单词能同时让人们搜索、连接网络、点赞以及上网购物，因此划线单词指的是“智能手机”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.(库珀说他是个乐观主义者。他认为，移动技术的进步将继续改变人们的生活，但他担心智能手机会给隐私和年轻人带来风险。)”可知，库珀对智能手机的未来持有乐观的态度，但是不乏抱有担忧。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have “various Internets intended for different audiences.”(库珀看到了这些进步的阴暗面，包括对儿童的风险。他说，其中一个想法是“为不同的受众提供不同的互联网”。)”可知，马丁·库珀认为不同的受众应该被提供不同的互联网，也就是说应该给孩子提供不同的互联网。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy. The body makes energy from food, he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone. Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.(他说，电池可能会被人的能量所取代。他认为，人体从食物中获取能量，所以它也可能为手机提供能量。例如，该设备可以放在皮肤下，而不是拿在手里。)”可知，他认为未来的手机有可能从人体获得能量。故选B。 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入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the journey of life, there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life. But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. ____19____ As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E. Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. F. they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future. G. The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在人生的旅程中，劳动和劳动技能的培养不仅赚了钱，而且塑造了性格，塑造了未来，这是从书本上不能获得的。 【16题详解】 上文“But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true!(但如果我们告诉你，推迟这种满足，投入一些好的、诚实的劳动实际上是有益呢？这是真的！)”是肯定劳动是有好处的，那么下文将说明劳动有哪些好处。选项G“The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. (劳动的过程教会了教科书无法传达的宝贵教训。)”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 这是段首句，是标题句。下文“Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. (突然之间，他们很负责，会按时到场，从头到尾多做工作，并管理自己的收人。这些都是任何课堂讲座都无法匹配的生活技能。)”是说明劳动会培养责任感。选项D“First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility (首先，劳动逐渐获得了一种责任感。)”，同时，First与下文的Moreover呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Moreover, labor breeds perseverance. (此外，劳动还能培养出毅力。)”和下文“Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone for success in all aspects of life. (他们没有认输，而是坚持不懈，从每一次挫折中学习，并在这个过程中变得更强大。这种毅力成为了在生活的各个方面取得成功的基石。)”，可知空格处要举例说明劳动如何培养出毅力。选项E“Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. (想象一下，一个年轻人在求职时面临被一而再的拒绝。)”符合此语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. (但也许劳动最深刻的影响是它培养共情心和欣赏的能力。)”和下文“As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. (当青少年为不幸的人提供食物时，他们对特权和感激有了一种新的看法。)”，可知空格处引出了如何培养共情心和欣赏的能力的例子，可以承接上文，引出下文。选项B“Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. (以在当地的施粥所做志愿者为例。)”符合此语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 本句是文章尾段的尾句，结合上文“In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. (总之，劳动不仅仅在于挣钱，还在于塑造性格和为成功奠定基础。)”，可知破折号后对劳动的意义进一步说明，给出了忠告。选项F“So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future (所以，下次当你看到一个青少年在炎热的夏天大汗淋漓的时候，请记住——他们不只是在修剪草坪，他们还在为通往更光明的未来铺平道路。)”符合语境。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。 Mary McCollum and her friends, all university students, were on a drive.

It’s my corner. Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 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。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. My friend Tanya and her family, each carrying a chair, joined us! “Tia, You’ve got some good ideas for this corner. We need a little nature around here.” More and more neighbors showed up, waving signs and making noise, including Mrs. DiRisio. Mom inspired me to make a speech to the city call. I did so days later. “If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ” Everyone applauded at the end of my speech. A year later, the sign on the corner has made it official. Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve. We’ve got a stone bench and plans for a vegetable garden. School groups come here to collect leaves and study the insects and birds. Folks come here to walk, run or just sit, talking, laughing and listening to birds singing. My corner isn’t just mine anymore, but I’m more than happy to share it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了71号街道的拐角可以让蒂亚感受到自然的美，但是有人想要将这个街角改造成停车场。在妈妈的建议下，蒂亚采取行动，在大纸板写明自己的观点，放在街角处。内内特女士给蒂亚拍了照片，并对这个街角的设计进行了设想。第二天早上，蒂亚的照片出现在报纸上，早餐后，蒂亚和家人将椅子和大纸板拖回街角。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，我看到一些熟悉的身影向我们走来。”可知，第一段可描写越来越多的邻居出现，发声自己需要自然，蒂亚发表演讲，尝试拯救自然，得到了大家的掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容“一年后，街角的标志正式生效。”可知，第二段可描写街角的具体样子，人们可以在这里享受自然。 2.续写线索：邻居加入——蒂亚发表演讲——得到掌声——街角标志生效——街角的样子——人们在街角享受自然 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/appear ②激励：inspire/encourage/motivate ③鼓掌：applaud/clap one’s hands 情绪类 ①笑：laugh/beam/grin ②开心的：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】【高分句型1】“If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ”（运用了if引导条件状语从句） 【高分句型2】Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 1-5 ABCAB 6-10ABABA 11-15 CCABB 16-20 ABACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语10月考 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后面有一个小题，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 year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care (寄养), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college, hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it. Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Chairity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella. Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn’t work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I’m really close with my family, and I just couldn’t imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says. At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What’s not being met for these young people?” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings. Paparella contacted her parents’ friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients’ faces when they received a bed, a couch-whatever-was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints. Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees. “It makes me feel like I’m not different from other people. My whole life, I’ve felt abnormal,” she says, “Now, I feel normal.” 4 Which doesn’t agree with Chairity of the text? A It is located in Ohio. B. It was founded by Paparella. C. It is a nonprofit organization. D. It provides furniture and household goods for the old. 5. What made Paparella first become aware of foster care? A. She got happiness from foster care. B. Her parents were working at foster care. C. Her parents were considering adopting a child. D. She would make a lot of money from foster care. 6. What touched Paparella most at the age of 16? A. Living without parents. B. Moving into a new house. C. Getting free truck delivery. D. Visiting a foster care center. 7. What does Leszyeski think of Chairity? A. It changes young adults’ whole life. B. It brings confidence to the recipients. C. It has helped lots of homeless people. D. It makes people different from others. C Do you often compare yourself to other people? Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap. Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else. Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. Although comparing can be good for you, it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap. This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing. Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of Create Your Own Confidence. She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, Goddard-Hill says, “Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.” “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve. If your feelings depend on what other people are doing, “Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” suggests Goddard-Hill. Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you. If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you are failing in any way, unfollow them. “Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says. Finally, focus on your own achievements and how you can improve. “The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill. 8. How does a comparison trap affect us? A. It makes us focus on our own behaviour. B. It stops us from learning from each other. C. It prevents us from living happily together. D. It bases our feelings on others’ achievements. 9. What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”? A. Both of them usually enhance our confidence. B Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. C. The former is positive while the latter is negative. D. The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad. 10. What does Goddard-Hill suggest? A. Aiming to be our best. B. Trying to be the best. C. Trying to be a cheerleader. D. Valuing someone else’s achievements. 11. In which section of the magazine can you find the passage? A. Achievement. B. Entertainment. C. Health. D. Politics. D Holding the large and heavy “brick” cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future. Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search，connect,like and buy. Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people. “My most negative opinion is we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC, the Mobile World Congress, the world’s biggest wireless trade show, where he was getting a lifetime award. Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences.” Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier. Cooper used the Dyna-TAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T. It was literally the world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches. Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market. The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution (革命). Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones. He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body,” possibly as sensors“measuring your health at all times.” Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin. 12. What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A smartphone. B. A Motorola prototype. C. A “brick” cellphone. D. An original cellphone. 13. What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone? A. Most negative. B. Very subjective. C. Doubtful and Disapproving. D. Optimistic but also concerned. 14. What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5? A. They should be provided with a different Internet from adults. B. They should have easy access to various Internets. C. They should be introduced to different audiences. D. They should use various Internets for learning materials. 15. According to Cooper, how might smartphones be powered in the future? A.

Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life. But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. ____19____ As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E. Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. F. they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future. G. The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. 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。 Mary McCollum and her friends, all university students, were on a drive.

It’s my corner. Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 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。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABCAB 6-10ABABA 11-15 CCABB 16-20 ABACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
