The average NYC household throws away about 2000 pounds of waste a year. By reusing through events like Stop ‘N’ Swap, NYC residents can take part in saving over 40 million pounds of material from landfill every year. Take a break from shopping, support a cleaner future, and join the ever-growing reuse community!

B On a diving holiday in the Philippines last October, with seven other advanced divers, I dived off the boat, slowly sinking to about 20m. 45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations (震动) as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor's eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef. The situation felt sinister. Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle racing past us? They are normally slow mover s so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding (碾压) against itself. We held hands and looked into each other's eyes comforted by each other's presence. My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats. The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when swimming back, we all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be deadly. Back on the boat, we checked the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening. 4. What does the underlined word “sinister” probably mean? A. Amazing B. Amusing C. Promising D. Threatening 5. What made the author aware of what was happening? A. Observing the seabed cracking. B. Being informed of the event. C. Feeling the violent undersea shake. D. Witnessing a turtle's abnormal behavior. 6. What stopped the divers to rise to the surface instantly? A. The potential deadly disease. B. The unclear situation in the water. C. The possible unexpected danger above. D. The instructor's gesturing them not to rise. 7. Which could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of Exploration. B. A Frightening Earthquake. C. A Close Encounter with Nature. D. A Caution from Underwater World. C When climate activists gathered in front of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry, people reflected deeply on their argument. But when protesters threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet, criticism rose. “We have been deeply shaken by their absurd and risky endangerment,” read a statement from the International Council of Museums. Luckily the targeted works are protected behind glass, so actual damage has been minimal. And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point: that people care more about the possible destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. But as the attacks wear down, and their impact decreases, they risk changing into a joke. What’s especially misguided about the protests is that they ask people to make a choice — “What is worth more, art or life?” But why choose? “It’s possible to blame both environmental vandalism (蓄意破坏) and cultural vandalism at the same time,” Mark Pasnik, chair of the Boston Art Commission, said. Art is not the problem here. In fact, some artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. One such example is Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a climate change memorial she created in a New York City park. The climate activists are surely correct that the pace of reform is far too slow, as the planet burns and deadly storms intensify. But they casually dismiss the sincere efforts of millions of people working on the issue. It would be easier to gain people’s support and respect if they were to spend their time and energy on the unexciting but essential political work around climate change: legislation (法律), regulation, and winning hearts and minds. Predictably, the debates caused by the protests have not been about climate change, but about the protests themselves. Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion among people, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere drama. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Presenting protesters’ attitude to art works. B. Blaming the British Government’s decision. C. Stressing the seriousness of environment crises. D. Contrasting public attitudes to activists’ protests. 9. Which expression best describes climate activists’ vandalizing action? A. The end justifies the means. B. Art speaks where words fail. C. The freedom of protest should be protected. D. Art matters in the fight against climate crisis. 10. Why does the author mention Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest in paragraph 3? A. To blame the two kinds of vandalism. B. To prove art is more important than life. C. To advocate people making right choices. D. To show some artists are pulling their weight. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the protesters’ attacks to art? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Unfavorable. D. Tolerant. D A French study published last month in the Journal Animal Cognition found that not only do cats react to what scientists call cat-directed speech — a high-pitched voice similar to how we talk to babies — but they react to who is doing the talking. “We found that when hearing their owners using a high-pitched voice, the cats reacted more than when they heard their owner speaking normally to another human adult,” said Charlotte de Mouzon, an author of the study and cat behavior expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But surprisingly, it didn’t work when it came from a stranger’s voice.” Unlike with dogs, cat behavior is difficult to study, which is part of why humans understand them less. Cats are often so stressed when studied in a lab that meaningful behavioral observations become less likely. And forget about getting a cat’s M. R. I. scan for its brain function study. So the researchers for the latest study went to the cats’ homes and played recordings of different types of speech and different speakers. “Their reactions were very subtle (微妙的),” Dr. de Mouzon said. “It could be just moving an ear or turning the head towards the speaker or even freezing what they were doing.” In a few cases, the cats would approach the speaker playing a voice and meow. The findings showed that “cats are paying close attention to their caretakers, down to not only what they are saying, but how they are saying it,” said Dr. de Mouzon. The relationships between a cat and its owner replicate (复制) the connection between a kitten and its mother. “It is possible that attachment behaviors originally intended for interactions with their mother have now been modified for interactions with their new caretakers, humans.” “For years, scientists didn’t ask the right questions about cats,” Dr. de Mouzon said. Now those who are convinced of the disloyalty of cats won’t like the answers. Cats don’t hate us after all, Dr. de Mouzon said, adding that “a growing body of work supports the idea that social interaction with humans is key in the life of a cat.” 12. Which section can you expect to find this passage in a magazine? A. Our Furry Friends. B. Flora and Gardens. C. Crafts and Furnishing. D. Health and Well-being. 13. According to the study, which of the following may capture a cat’s attention? A. An adult’s ordinary voice. B. A baby’s high-pitched voice. C. A stranger’s high-pitched speech. D. An owner’s cat-directed speech. 14. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By giving the cats an M. R. I. scan. B. By comparing cats and dogs behaviors. C. By replicating a kitten-mother relationship. D. By observing cat’s reaction to some recordings. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. New evidence disapproves that cat are cold. B. Cats treat their owners the way they treat their mothers. C. Cats respond to their owners well when communicated properly. D. The social interaction between cats and humans is important to cats. 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。 Our Unwelcome Guests If you picnic in a Texas park, chances are that you'll encounter fire ants — a troublesome pest renowned for their painful and irritating stings. ___16___ Across the world, from the vast landscapes of Texas to the exotic shores in China, non-native animals, plants, bacteria and viruses are damaging economies and ecosystems. An invasive species is any kind of living thing that is foreign to a particular ecosystem and causes harm. Sometimes non- native species are imported unintentionally, like in the 1930s when cargo ships from South America accidentally took fire ants to North America. ___17___ For instance, certain Asian fish species, originally imported from China to clean fish farms in the U.S., escaped and entered local rivers. Similarly, green iguanas were brought to China as pets, but some irresponsible owners released them into the wild. ___18___ The worldwide economic impact of introduced species is enormous. According to U.S. government estimates, invasive species cost the American economy over $120 billion annually. ___19___ Besides, invasive species have the potential to destroy their new habitats by upsetting the local ecosystems. They often lack natural predators (掠食者) in their new environment and out-compete native species for food and other resources. ___20___ In Florida, for instance, pythons have reduced some regional mammal populations by 90 percent. Additionally, Invasive species can also carry diseases against which local species have no natural defense, resulting in the extinction of an entire native species. Alarmingly, the National Wildlife Federation in the U. S. warns that, “Unless people take serious action, the economic and environmental costs connected to invasive species will become astronomical.” A. They may even prey on local species. B. The same went with Burmese pythons (蟒) in Florida. C. Other times non- native species are purposely brought in. D. The economic impact of fire ants alone totals in the billions. E. Millions of dollars were spent fighting introduced species in US. F. In some way, the introduced species can be a double blade sword. G. Like many others, this invasive species is also quite expensive and destructive. 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。 Joey isn’t a typical guard pet like a German shepherd.

They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly. There was always an abundance of work to do — cooking, cleaning, and walking dogs. I volunteered to walk our dog, Max, who had been adopted one month before. I never dared let this giant dog off the lead (牵狗绳), just in case he took off. One morning, we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead. At first, I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower. But the more I tried to stop him pulling, the more it turned into a tug of war. And thanks to the slippery ground, I lost. Pulling his lead, Max shot off like a bullet, leaving me screaming behind. I chased him but lost my footing and fell face-first into some mud. I stumbled (踉跄) to my feet, but looking ahead, I found him running back towards me. I thought he was going to stop and give me his “Sorry” look. But instead, the dog shot past me and returned after a while. As soon as we got home, my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat. I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud, I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss. Instead, I got a very loud lecture about letting the dog loose in the forest. I felt frustrated. It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max. I fought back, “Stop lecturing me! Why is everything my fault?” With these words, I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut. In the evening, I heard my mother call Max and take him out. It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked out of my room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度上学期高三年级期中Ⅰ考试 英语科试卷 第一部分：听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

(在近两年没有交换之后，GrowNYC设定了一个目标，即每年在纽约市的59个社区中每个社区举办一次交换，让纽约真正宜居——一个每个人都能享受更健康生活的地方。)”可知，其目的是让纽约成为一个更好的居住地。故选A。 B On a diving holiday in the Philippines last October, with seven other advanced divers, I dived off the boat, slowly sinking to about 20m. 45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations (震动) as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor's eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef. The situation felt sinister. Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle racing past us? They are normally slow mover s so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding (碾压) against itself. We held hands and looked into each other's eyes, comforted by each other's presence. My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats. The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when swimming back, we all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be deadly. Back on the boat, we checked the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening. 4. What does the underlined word “sinister” probably mean? A. Amazing B. Amusing C. Promising D. Threatening 5. What made the author aware of what was happening? A. Observing the seabed cracking. B. Being informed of the event. C. Feeling the violent undersea shake. D. Witnessing a turtle's abnormal behavior. 6. What stopped the divers to rise to the surface instantly? A. The potential deadly disease. B. The unclear situation in the water. C. The possible unexpected danger above. D. The instructor's gesturing them not to rise. 7. Which could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of Exploration. B. A Frightening Earthquake. C. A Close Encounter with Nature. D. A Caution from Underwater World. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在潜水时亲眼目睹了一次大地震发生的经历。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线处上句“45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations（震动） as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor's eyes were wide with confusion too. (45分钟后，一声低沉的轰鸣声淹没了我的呼吸声，我感到强烈的震动，仿佛有一艘大船从头顶驶过。潜水教练的眼睛也睁得大大的，充满了困惑)”作者和教练感受到低沉的轰鸣声以及强烈的震动，可推知这让人感到处境很危险，划线处和D项：Threatening(险恶的；凶兆的)。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding（碾压） against itself. (突然，在我们下面几米的地方，裂缝开始形成，沙子被吸了下来。那时我才明白是怎么回事。那声音是大地裂开的声音，是大地自我摩擦的声音。)”可知，作者见到海底裂缝使作者意识到他们遇上了地震。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats.(我的身体处于高度戒备状态，需要巨大的意志力来抵抗游向水面的冲动，这是不明智的，因为当时水面的情况不清楚，有潜在的威胁。)”可知，上面可能出现的意外危险阻止潜水员立即浮出水面。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening.(我很兴奋，觉得自己很幸运，这并不是因为我最近的生存奇迹，而是因为我经历了大自然最令人震惊和最可怕的一面。)”以及全文可知，文章讲述了作者在潜水时亲眼目睹了一次大地震发生的经历。C项：A Close Encounter with Nature.(与大自然的亲密接触。)合乎题意。故选C。 C When climate activists gathered in front of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry, people reflected deeply on their argument. But when protesters threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet, criticism rose. “We have been deeply shaken by their absurd and risky endangerment,” read a statement from the International Council of Museums. Luckily the targeted works are protected behind glass, so actual damage has been minimal. And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point: that people care more about the possible destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. But as the attacks wear down, and their impact decreases, they risk changing into a joke. What’s especially misguided about the protests is that they ask people to make a choice — “What is worth more, art or life?” But why choose? “It’s possible to blame both environmental vandalism (蓄意破坏) and cultural vandalism at the same time,” Mark Pasnik, chair of the Boston Art Commission, said. Art is not the problem here. In fact, some artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. One such example is Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a climate change memorial she created in a New York City park. The climate activists are surely correct that the pace of reform is far too slow, as the planet burns and deadly storms intensify. But they casually dismiss the sincere efforts of millions of people working on the issue. It would be easier to gain people’s support and respect if they were to spend their time and energy on the unexciting but essential political work around climate change: legislation (法律), regulation, and winning hearts and minds. Predictably, the debates caused by the protests have not been about climate change, but about the protests themselves. Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion among people, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere drama. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Presenting protesters’ attitude to art works. B. Blaming the British Government’s decision. C. Stressing the seriousness of environment crises. D. Contrasting public attitudes to activists’ protests. 9. Which expression best describes climate activists’ vandalizing action? A. The end justifies the means. B. Art speaks where words fail. C. The freedom of protest should be protected. D. Art matters in the fight against climate crisis. 10. Why does the author mention Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest in paragraph 3? A. To blame the two kinds of vandalism. B. To prove art is more important than life. C. To advocate people making right choices. D. To show some artists are pulling their weight. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the protesters’ attacks to art? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Unfavorable. D. Tolerant. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讨论了气候活动家通过攻击艺术品来抗议气候变化的行为，以及这种行为的效果和影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“When climate activists gathered in front of a copy of The Last Supper at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, criticizing the British government’s support of the fossil fuel industry, people reflected deeply on their argument. But when protesters threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, and mashed potatoes at Haystacks by Monet, criticism rose.(当气候活动家聚集在伦敦皇家艺术学院的一幅《最后的晚餐》前，批评英国政府对化石燃料行业的支持时，人们对他们的论点进行了深刻的反思。但当抗议者向梵高的《向日葵》扔番茄汤，向莫奈的《干草堆》扔土豆泥时，批评声越来越大。)”可知，第一段主要介绍抗议者对艺术作品的态度。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“And perhaps the anger greeting their acts proves their point: that people care more about the possible destruction of a painting than the actual destruction of the planet. (也许他们的行为所引发的愤怒证明了他们的观点：人们更关心的是一幅画的可能毁灭，而不是地球的实际毁灭。)”可知，气候活动家的激进行为是为了证明他们的观点（即人们更关心艺术品的潜在破坏，而不是地球的实际破坏），这让普通群众对此感到愤怒，可得出气候活动家的行动表明了A项The end justifies the means. (为了达到目的，不择手段。)。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Art is not the problem here. In fact, some artists are making quite effective works about the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. One such example is Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a climate change memorial she created in a New York City park.(艺术不是这里的问题。事实上，一些艺术家正在制作关于气候危机的非常有效的作品，正是将艺术作为行动主义。其中一个例子是Maya Lin的Ghost Forest，这是她在纽约市公园创建的一座气候变化纪念碑。)”可推测，作者在第三段中提到了Lin的Ghost Forest，以表明一些艺术家也在努力呼吁关注气候危机。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Predictably, the debates caused by the protests have not been about climate change, but about the protests themselves. Given how little they’ve done to generate serious discussion among people, the art attacks seem less like vital acts of lawbreaking than mere drama.(可以预见的是，抗议活动引发的争论不是关于气候变化，而是关于抗议活动本身。鉴于他们在引发人们认真讨论方面做得很少，这些艺术攻击似乎更像是一场闹剧，而不是至关重要的违法行为。)”可知，作者认为抗议活动并没有引起广泛的关注，而更像一场闹剧一样。所以作者对抗议者攻击艺术的态度是不支持的。故选C项。 D A French study published last month in the Journal Animal Cognition found that not only do cats react to what scientists call cat-directed speech — a high-pitched voice similar to how we talk to babies — but they react to who is doing the talking. “We found that when hearing their owners using a high-pitched voice, the cats reacted more than when they heard their owner speaking normally to another human adult,” said Charlotte de Mouzon, an author of the study and cat behavior expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But surprisingly, it didn’t work when it came from a stranger’s voice.” Unlike with dogs, cat behavior is difficult to study, which is part of why humans understand them less. Cats are often so stressed when studied in a lab that meaningful behavioral observations become less likely. And forget about getting a cat’s M. R. I. scan for its brain function study. So the researchers for the latest study went to the cats’ homes and played recordings of different types of speech and different speakers. “Their reactions were very subtle (微妙的),” Dr. de Mouzon said. “It could be just moving an ear or turning the head towards the speaker or even freezing what they were doing.” In a few cases, the cats would approach the speaker playing a voice and meow. The findings showed that “cats are paying close attention to their caretakers, down to not only what they are saying, but how they are saying it,” said Dr. de Mouzon. The relationships between a cat and its owner replicate (复制) the connection between a kitten and its mother. “It is possible that attachment behaviors originally intended for interactions with their mother have now been modified for interactions with their new caretakers, humans.” “For years, scientists didn’t ask the right questions about cats,” Dr. de Mouzon said. Now those who are convinced of the disloyalty of cats won’t like the answers. Cats don’t hate us after all, Dr. de Mouzon said, adding that “a growing body of work supports the idea that social interaction with humans is key in the life of a cat.” 12. Which section can you expect to find this passage in a magazine? A Our Furry Friends. B. Flora and Gardens. C. Crafts and Furnishing. D. Health and Well-being. 13. According to the study, which of the following may capture a cat’s attention? A. An adult’s ordinary voice. B. A baby’s high-pitched voice. C. A stranger’s high-pitched speech. D. An owner’s cat-directed speech. 14. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By giving the cats an M. R. I. scan. B. By comparing cats and dogs behaviors. C. By replicating a kitten-mother relationship. D. By observing cat’s reaction to some recordings. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. New evidence disapproves that cat are cold. B. Cats treat their owners the way they treat their mothers. C. Cats respond to their owners well when communicated properly. D. The social interaction between cats and humans is important to cats. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 主要讲述了如果被对待得当，猫实际上会密切关注它们的主人。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A French study published last month in the Journal Animal Cognition found that not only do cats react to what scientists call cat-directed speech — a high-pitched voice similar to how we talk to babies — but they react to who is doing the talking. (上个月发表在《动物认知》（Animal Cognition）杂志上的一项法国研究发现，猫不仅会对科学家所说的“猫导语”（一种类似于我们对婴儿说话的高音调声音）做出反应，还会对说话的人做出反应。)”可知，本篇文章主要是讲述对于猫的研究和发现，故应出现在杂志的动物专栏上，A项：Our Furry Friends.(我们毛茸茸的朋友。)合乎题意。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““We found that when hearing their owners using a high-pitched voice, the cats reacted more than when they heard their owner speaking normally to another human adult,” said Charlotte de Mouzon(夏洛特·德·穆松说：“我们发现，当猫听到主人用高音说话时，它们的反应比听到主人和另一个成年人正常说话时要强烈。”)”可知，猫主人用高音调和猫说话时，最吸引猫的注意。故选D。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“So the researchers for the latest study went to the cats’ homes and played recordings of different types of speech and different speakers. “Their reactions were very subtle (微妙的) ,” Dr. de Mouzon said. (因此，最新研究的研究人员去了猫的家，播放了不同类型的语音和不同的说话者的录音。“他们的反应非常微妙，”穆松博士说。)”可知，研究人员通过观察猫对一些录音的反应来进行研究。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“The findings showed that “cats are paying close attention to their caretakers, down to not only what they are saying, but how they are saying it,” said Dr. de Mouzon. The relationships between a cat and its owner replicate (复制) the connection between a kitten and its mother. (德·穆松博士说，研究结果表明，“猫会密切关注它们的饲养员，不仅关注它们在说什么，还关注它们说话的方式。”猫和主人之间的关系复制了小猫和它妈妈之间的关系。)”可知，主要讲述了如果被对待得当，猫实际上会密切关注它们的主人。故选C。 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。 Our Unwelcome Guests If you picnic in a Texas park, chances are that you'll encounter fire ants — a troublesome pest renowned for their painful and irritating stings. ___16___ Across the world, from the vast landscapes of Texas to the exotic shores in China, non-native animals, plants, bacteria and viruses are damaging economies and ecosystems. An invasive species is any kind of living thing that is foreign to a particular ecosystem and causes harm. Sometimes non- native species are imported unintentionally, like in the 1930s when cargo ships from South America accidentally took fire ants to North America. ___17___ For instance, certain Asian fish species, originally imported from China to clean fish farms in the U.S., escaped and entered local rivers. Similarly, green iguanas were brought to China as pets, but some irresponsible owners released them into the wild. ___18___ The worldwide economic impact of introduced species is enormous. According to U.S. government estimates, invasive species cost the American economy over $120 billion annually. ___19___ Besides, invasive species have the potential to destroy their new habitats by upsetting the local ecosystems. They often lack natural predators (掠食者) in their new environment and out-compete native species for food and other resources. ___20___ In Florida, for instance, pythons have reduced some regional mammal populations by 90 percent. Additionally, Invasive species can also carry diseases against which local species have no natural defense, resulting in the extinction of an entire native species. Alarmingly, the National Wildlife Federation in the U. S. warns that, “Unless people take serious action, the economic and environmental costs connected to invasive species will become astronomical.” A. They may even prey on local species. B. The same went with Burmese pythons (蟒) in Florida. C. Other times non- native species are purposely brought in. D. The economic impact of fire ants alone totals in the billions. E. Millions of dollars were spent fighting introduced species in US. F. In some way, the introduced species can be a double blade sword. G. Like many others, this invasive species is also quite expensive and destructive. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. D 20.

They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly. There was always an abundance of work to do — cooking, cleaning, and walking dogs. I volunteered to walk our dog, Max, who had been adopted one month before. I never dared let this giant dog off the lead (牵狗绳), just in case he took off. One morning, we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead. At first, I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower. But the more I tried to stop him pulling, the more it turned into a tug of war. And thanks to the slippery ground, I lost. Pulling his lead, Max shot off like a bullet, leaving me screaming behind. I chased him but lost my footing and fell face-first into some mud. I stumbled (踉跄) to my feet, but looking ahead, I found him running back towards me. I thought he was going to stop and give me his “Sorry” look. But instead, the dog shot past me and returned after a while. As soon as we got home, my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat. I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud, I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss. Instead, I got a very loud lecture about letting the dog loose in the forest. I felt frustrated. It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max. I fought back, “Stop lecturing me! Why is everything my fault?” With these words, I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut. In the evening, I heard my mother call Max and take him out. It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked out of my room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I walked out of my room. Not surprisingly, they were both covered in mud. It was evident that Max had led my mother on another wild chase through the forest. My frustration melted away as I saw my mother’s apologetic expression. “Sweetheart,” my mom said softly, “I’m sorry for scolding you earlier.” After a quick shower, she then shared her own adventure with Max and how he also managed to escape from her grasp, when I served her a warm cup of tea. It seemed we were both at our wits’ end with this dog. (89 words) Dad stepped in, suggesting that we work together to train Max. We spent the next few days teaching Max basic commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “come back”. It wasn’t easy, but gradually, Max started responding better to us. The instant we tried to stop him pulling, he sat down with eyes looking intently at us. In the process, not only did Max become more obedient, but our family also grew closer. We realized that every member of our team played an important role, and we needed to support each other to ensure everything ran smoothly.
