Here are some incredible destinations for your next expedition. Could you dare to take on any of them? Antarctica With a population estimated at somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000 people, the world’s fifth largest continent is a land of extremes — the coldest and driest continent on the planet. Travelers can only reach it by ice-strengthened vessels made for sailing through the rough seas. Though known for its breath-taking scenery, visitors who trek through the wilderness must be well-prepared or accompanied by a tour operator who knows the area well. Mawsynram, India This Indian town receives an average of 11 metres of rainfall every year. In 1985, the Guinness Book of World Records dubbed it the wettest place on earth after it saw 25 metres of rain in a single year. Plagued by a subtropical climate and monsoons, Mawsynram is both a difficult place to live and an interesting trip for tourists. Mount Thor, Canada At 1,675 metres tall, Mount Thor is not the world’s highest peak, but it is the steepest. As the most famous summit in Canada, Mount Thor is made of pure granite (岗岩), with a 1250-metre vertical drop and an average angle of about 105 degrees. Despite the fact that the mountain is in a remote area, it’s a popular destination for avid mountain climbers. Angel Falls, Venezuela Although Angel Falls is located in an isolated jungle region and is not reached all that easily, it remains one of Venezuela’s top tourist attractions. The falls, which are approximately 979 metres high, including a 807-metre plunge and a 402-metre sloped cascades and rapids, are the tallest waterfall in the world. 1. How can visitors reach Antarctica according to the text? A. By helicopter. B. By snowmobile. C. By ice-resistant ship. D. By high speed railway. 2. What attracts mountain climbers to Mount Thor? A. Diverse wildlife. B. Stunning scenery. C. Convenient location. D. Challenging conditions. 3. What do the listed destinations have in common? A. They are all suitable for family vacations. B. They are all located in densely populated areas. C. They are all the world’s most extreme destinations. D. They are all easily reachable by public transportation. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本篇为应用文，短文主要介绍了南极洲、印度的毛辛拉姆、加拿大的托尔山以及委内瑞拉的天使瀑布这四个世界之最旅行目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Travellers can only reach it by ice-strengthened vessels made for sailing through the rough seas.(游客们只能乘坐专为在波涛汹涌的海面上航行而制造的冰船到达那里)”可知, 旅行者只能通过乘坐专为在汹涌海面上航行而制造的驱冰船到达南极洲。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“At 1,675 metres tall, Mount Thor is not the world’s highest peak, but it is the steepest. As the most famous summit in Canada, Mount Thor is made of pure granite （岗岩）, with a 1250-metre vertical drop and an average angle of about 105 degrees. Despite the fact that the mountain is in a remote area, it’s a popular destination for avid mountain climbers.(托尔山高1675米，虽然不是世界上最高的山峰，但却是最陡峭的。作为加拿大最著名的山峰，托尔山由纯花岗岩构成，垂直落差为1250米，平均坡度约为105度。虽然这座山位于偏远地区，但它却是受狂热登山者欢迎的目的地)”可知,吸引登山者到托尔山的是托尔山本身极具挑战性的攀登条件。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文中介绍的四个旅游目的地——南极洲是地球上最冷和最干燥的大陆，印度的毛辛拉姆是世界上最潮湿的地方，加拿大的托尔山是世界上最陡峭的山峰，委内瑞拉的天使瀑布是世界上最高的瀑布。由此可知这四个旅游目的地的共同点是它们都是世界之最旅行目的地。故选C项。 B As one of the biggest animal stars in Hollywood, Crystal the Monkey has worked with some leading directors and actors, stolen scenes from top comedians, and walked the red carpet at the Oscars. Crystal’s acting career began when she was two and a half years old. In 1996, she was trained by an animal trainer from Birds and Animals Unlimited, a company which provides animals to Hollywood in Florida, where she was named after the famous country singer Crystal Gayle. In her first movie, George of the Jungle (1997), Crystal stole audiences’ hearts when she played sweet and sassy “Little Monkey”. Then, in Night at the Museum (2006), she was mischievous Dexter who made museum guard Ben Siller’s life difficult. Since then, she has appeared in more than 31 movies and television shows. Directors love Crystal’s fun personality and how well she performs her own stunts (特技表演). Magazine writers can’t praise her enough, “It was like she was born to perform,” says one, Crystal is “the most powerful pet in Hollywood”, says another. And her paycheck? In her role as Dr. Rizzo on Animal Practice (2012-2013), Crystal received $12,000 for each episode, more than many human actors receive. In five of her movies, she holds a box office gross of more than $2.5 billion. Those are no small bananas! Megan Talbert, executive director (执行董事) of Boston-based service monkey training academy Helping Hands, wants people to realize that owning a monkey like Crystal as a pet is not easy. “In the U.S., many pet monkeys do not get the care and attention they deserve throughout their 30-to-40-year lifespan,” she says. “What many people do not realize is that Crystal lives with her handler and trainer Tom Gunderson and his family. Both Tom and his wife are professional animal trainers who have looked after Crystal since she was two years old.” 4. What can we learn about Crystal the Monkey? A. She was named after a famous movie star. B. She started her acting career at a very young age. C. She has starred in fewer than 31 films and TV shows. D. She is not appreciated by directors and magazine writers. 5. What does the underlined sentence “Those are no small bananas! ” mean in paragraph 5? A. Crystal is very well-paid. B. Bananas are not small fruits. C. Crystal eats a lot of bananas. D. Crystal receives a small paycheck. 6. Which might be Megan Talbert’s opinion about owning a pet monkey? A. It requires love and concern. B. It’s not so easy but rewarding. C. It’s a good way to make money. D. It’s only suitable for professional trainers. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Animal Stars in Hollywood B. Animal Trainers in Hollywood C. Tips for Owning a Monkey as a Pet D. The Hottest Monkey in Hollywood 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了好莱坞最火动物明星——猴子Crystal的演艺生涯以及人们对养宠物猴的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Crystal’s acting career began when she was two and a half years old.( Crystal两岁半时就开始了她的演艺生涯)”可知，猴子Crystal在很小的时候就开始了她的演艺生涯。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“In her role as Dr. Rizzo on Animal Practice (2012-2013), Crystal received 12,000 for each episode,more than many human actors receive. In five of her movies, she holds a box office gross of more than $2.5 billion. (在《动物诊所》（2012-2013）中扮演Rizzo博士时，Crystal每集的片酬为12,000美元，这比许多人类演员的片酬都要高。在她的五部电影中，票房总收入超过25亿美元)”可知，Crystal的片酬很高，票房收入也很高，由此可推知，划线句“Those are no small bananas!”的意思是“Crystal的报酬非常丰厚”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Megan Talbert, executive director (执行董事) of Boston-based service monkey training academy Helping Hands, wants people to realize that owning a monkey like Crystal as a pet is not easy. ‘In the U.S., many pet monkeys do not get the care and attention they deserve throughout their 30-to-40-year lifespan,’ she says. (波士顿“援手”服务猴子训练学院的执行董事Megan Talbert希望人们意识到，养一只像Crystal这样的猴子作为宠物并不容易。“在美国，许多宠物猴在它们30到40年的生命周期中都没有得到应有的照顾和关注，”她说)”可知，Megan Talbert认为许多宠物猴并没有得到应有的照顾和关注，由此推知，她认为养宠物猴就需要给予它们关爱和照顾。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As one of the biggest animal stars in Hollywood, Crystal the Monkey has worked with some leading directors and actors, stolen scenes from top comedians, and walked the red carpet at the Oscars. (作为好莱坞最大动物明星之一，猴子Crystal曾与一些知名导演和演员合作，从顶级喜剧演员那里抢镜，并在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上走红毯)”以及下文对Crystal的演艺生涯和人们对养宠物猴的看法的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了好莱坞最火的猴子Crystal，所以最适合作为文章标题的是“The Hottest Monkey in Hollywood(好莱坞最火的猴子)”。故选D项。 C 150 minutes of exercise a week: that’s how much we should all be doing. Does this mean that gyms are the best ways to guarantee our health? Maybe, but they are not without their own health risks. Health reports have suggested that some gym-goers’ hygiene (卫生) standards leave much to be desired. Bacteria that can cause serious illness, such as food poisoning, was found on the surface of gym equipment. Sweat and the increased temperature caused by exercise can help dangerous bacteria grow or the skin, which can be transferred to our clothing. It might not just be the microbes (微生物) at a gym that could be poisonous. Unhealthy gym culture may be leading people to feel judged or threatened. It’s known that over half those surveyed felt anxious when going to the gym. This feeling of being judged, and an overly competitive atmosphere, could create pressure to over-exercise. Over-exercise refers to overreaching and over-training. There are differences between them. The first is the result of a single instance of over-exercise, which leads to no more than muscle soreness, while the latter is more long-term and can have more serious outcomes. Over-training has been linked to injuries, exhaustion, reduced appetite and problems with sleep or weight gain. When exercise becomes a compulsion, it can also be dangerous for our mental health. Experts point out that feeling guilt at missed gym courses or trying to use exercise as a way to control our bodies could be signs that exercise dependency is a problem. This can be linked with a negative body image. So we don’t need to push ourselves so hard. Of course, we shouldn’t forget that exercise can really help our physical and mental health, as long as we can maintain a healthy relationship with it. 8. What can we know according to the health reports? A. Few gym-goers suffer exercise anxiety. B. Gym-goers need to improve their hygiene standards. C. Gyms are responsible for the spread of bacteria in gyms. D. Sweat and increased temperature have no effect on bacteria growth. 9. What can be inferred from the passage about gym culture? A. It helps people reduce their anxiety. B. It is widely supportive and welcoming. C. It often creates a sense of competition among members. D. It promotes a healthy balance between exercise and rest. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Overreaching and over-training are the same. B. Being judged is good for exercise motivation. C. Overreaching can lead to long-term outcomes. D. Over-training may result in undesirable effects. 11. Which statement would the author probably agree with? A. Take a balanced way to exercise. B. Avoid going to the gym together. C. Exercise only when feeling anxious. D. Ignore the potential health risks of gym exercise. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了健身房锻炼的利弊，提醒人们在健身房锻炼时需要注意卫生和保持健康的锻炼心态。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Health reports have suggested that some gym-goers’ hygiene (卫生) standards leave much to be desired.(健康报告显示，一些健身房用户的卫生标准有待提高)”可知，根据健康报告，健身房用户的卫生标准需要提高。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Unhealthy gym culture may be leading people to feel judged or threatened. It’s known that over half those surveyed felt anxious when going to the gym.(不健康的健身房文化可能让人们感到被评判或受到威胁。众所周知，超过一半的调查对象在去健身房时会感到焦虑)”和第四段中“This feeling of being judged, and an overly competitive atmosphere, could create pressure to over-exercise.(这种被评判的感觉和过度竞争的氛围可能会给人们带来过度锻炼的压力)”可推断出，健身房文化经常在成员之间制造竞争感。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Over-training has been linked to injuries, exhaustion, reduced appetite and problems with sleep or weight gain. (过度训练与受伤、疲惫、食欲下降以及睡眠或体重增加问题有关)”可知，我们可以从第四段了解到过度训练可能会导致不良后果。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Does this mean that gyms are the best ways to guarantee our health? Maybe, but they are not without their own health risks.(这是否意味着健身房是保证我们健康的最好方式？也许吧，但它们也不是没有健康风险)”和最后一段中“Of course, we shouldn’t forget that exercise can really help our physical and mental health, as long as we can maintain a healthy relationship with it. (当然，我们不应该忘记，只要我们能与锻炼保持健康的关系，锻炼确实可以帮助我们的身心健康)”可知，作者在文中提醒人们健身房带来的健康风险，同时也肯定了锻炼确实可以帮助我们的身心健康。由此推知，作者会赞同人们以一种两者兼顾的平衡方式来锻炼的观点。故选A项。 D A new analysis of dozens of arrowheads is helping researchers piece together a clearer portrait of the warriors who fought on Europe’s oldest battlefield 3,250 years ago. The bronze arrowheads were recovered from the Tollense Valley in northeast Germany. Researchers first uncovered the site in 1996when an archaeologist spotted a bone sticking out of a bank of the Tollense River. Since then, excavations (挖掘) have unearthed 300 metal finds and 12,500 bones belonging to about 150 individuals who fell in battle at the site in 1250 BC. Recovered weaponry has included swords, wooden clubs and lots of arrowheads. No direct evidence of an earlier battle of this scale has ever been discovered, which is why Tollense Valley is considered the site of Europe’s oldest battle, according to researchers who have studied the area since 2007. Studies of the bones have thrown new light on the men — all young, strong and able-bodied warriors, some with healed wounds from previous skirmishes (战斗). But details on why they fought in such a bloody battle have long confused researchers. There are no written accounts describing the battle, so as teams of archaeologists have unearthed more finds from the valley, they have used the well-preserved remains and weapons to try to piece together the story behind the ancient battle scene. Now, a team of researchers studying arrowheads used in the battle has discovered evidence that it included local groups as well as an army from the south. These findings suggest the fight was the earliest example of interregional conflict in Europe — and raise new questions about the state of the organized, armed violence thousands of years ago. “The arrowheads are a kind of ‘smoking gun’,” said lead study author Leif Inselmann. “Just like the murder weapon in a mystery, they give us a clue about the cause, the fighters of the Tollense Valley battle and where they came from.” 12. What makes the Tollense Valley unique among ancient battle sites in Europe? A. It is the first site to have such a large number of arrowheads. B. It is considered the location of Europe’s oldest known battle. C. It is the only site where swords and wooden clubs were found. D. It has the most well-preserved remains of warriors from 1250 BC. 13. What have long puzzled researchers about the Tollense Valley battle? A. The exact date of the battle. B. The location of the battlefield. C. The reasons behind the conflict. D. The number of the warriors in the battle. 14. Why does Leif Inselmann regard the arrowheads as “smoking gun”? A. They are the most valuable artifacts found at the site. B. They reveal the identities of the warriors who fought. C. They are the direct evidence of the battle’s occurrence. D. They provide clues to the cause and origin of the fighters. 15. What can be inferred from this excavation? A. The warriors came from the same area or community. B. It contributes additional details to the Europe’s oldest battle. C. Ancient warriors’ personal lives and beliefs are clearly described. D. It offers an entire and definitive account of Europe’s oldest battle. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了对德国东北部托伦斯山谷出土的青铜箭头的新分析，这一发现帮助研究人员更清晰地描绘出3250年前在欧洲最古老的战场上作战的战士们的形象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“No direct evidence of an earlier battle of this scale has ever been discovered, which is why Tollense Valley is considered the site of Europe’s oldest battle, according to researchers who have studied the area since 2007. (自2007年以来一直研究该地区的研究人员表示，从未发现过更早时期如此规模的战斗的直接证据，这就是为什么托伦斯山谷被认为是欧洲最古老的战场所在地。)”可知，托伦斯山谷被认为是欧洲已知最古老的战场，这使得它在欧洲古代战场中独一无二。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But details on why they fought in such a bloody battle have long confused researchers. (但长期以来，研究人员一直困惑于它们为何会进行如此血腥的战斗。)”可知，研究人员长期以来对托伦斯山谷战役感到困惑的是冲突背后的原因。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The arrowheads are a kind of ‘smoking gun’,” said lead study author Leif Inselmann. “Just like the murder weapon in a mystery, they give us a clue about the cause, the fighters of the Tollense Valley battle and where they came from.” (首席研究作者莱夫·因塞尔曼说：“箭头是一种‘确凿证据’。就像悬疑小说中的凶器一样，它们给我们提供了关于托伦斯山谷战役的原因、战士以及他们来自哪里的线索”。)可知，Leif Inselmann将箭头视为“确凿证据”，是因为它们提供了关于战士们的原因和来源的线索。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new analysis of dozens of arrowheads is helping researchers piece together a clearer portrait of the warriors who fought on Europe’s oldest battlefield 3,250 years ago. (对数十枚箭头的新分析正在帮助研究人员更清晰地描绘出3250年前在欧洲最古老的战场上作战的战士们的形象。)”、第五段中“These findings suggest the fight was the earliest example of interregional conflict in Europe — and raise new questions about the state of the organized, armed violence thousands of years ago. (这些发现表明，这场战斗是欧洲最早的地区间冲突的例子——并引发了关于数千年前有组织、有武装的暴力状态的新问题。)”和最后一段中“Just like the murder weapon in a mystery, they give us a clue about the cause, the fighters of the Tollense Valley battle and where they came from.(就像谜团中的凶器一样，它们为我们提供了起因的线索，托伦瑟山谷战役的战士以及他们来自哪里。)”可知，这次挖掘为欧洲最古老的战役提供了额外的细节。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Signs You’re Being Lied To Is there a liar in the room? Lies occur frequently, but nobody wants to be caught. Here are some signs to help you spot a liar. Listen to the voices. Pay attention to voice changes like change in pitch or cracking. ___16___ A person’s voice pitch tends to be a bit higher when lying than when telling the truth. It doesn’t mean they’re lying for sure, but there’s a greater possibility. Watch those words. ___17___ Researchers say they can sniff out lies in emails and other written materials by studying the frequency and kinds of words used. Liars tend to use fewer exclusive words such as but, or and except. They also tend to use more negative-emotion words such as ashamed, upset and embarrassed. These are the words that send up red flags. ___18___ Even though a high percentage of communication is thought to be non-verbal (非语言的), no single part of the body reveals the whole story when it comes to lying. ___19___ Hand gestures and arm and leg movements may occur with less frequency or intensity. The person becomes more focused on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions quickly. If you suspect you’re being cheated, try asking questions quickly one after the other. The initial lie is easy, but the follow-up lie is more difficult. When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie. In conclusion, identifying lies is a complex process. ___20___ Now that you know how to tell if someone is lying, pay attention to those signs. A. Keep the body active. B. Get better at body language. C. They may well indicate cheat. D. It’s time to rebuild trust in a relationship. E. It requires a keen eye and ear for tiny clues. F. People who are lying often become more still. G. Can we spot misleading behavior in written materials? 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了识别谎言的一些迹象，帮助读者判断身边的人是否在说谎。 【16题详解】 上文“Pay attention to voice changes like change in pitch or cracking.(注意声音的变化，如音高的变化或声音的破裂)”提到要注意声音的变化，C选项“They may well indicate cheat.(它们很可能表明欺骗)”中的“They”指代上文提到的“voice changes”，说明声音的变化可能是欺骗的迹象，与上文构成逻辑上的衔接。故选C项。 【17题详解】 下文“Researchers say they can sniff out lies in emails and other written materials by studying the frequency and kinds of words used.(研究人员说，他们可以通过研究电子邮件和其他书面材料中使用词语的频率和种类来嗅出谎言)”明确研究人员可以通过研究书面材料中的词语来识别谎言，是对G选项“Can we spot misleading behavior in written materials?(我们能在书面材料中发现误导行为吗)”提出的问题的回答，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【18题详解】 设空句是段首主题句。根据下文“Even though a high percentage of communication is thought to be non-verbal (非语言的), no single part of the body reveals the whole story when it comes to lying. (尽管人们认为很大一部分交流是非语言的，但在说谎时，身体的任何一个部位都不能揭示全部情况)”和“Hand gestures and arm and leg movements may occur with less frequency or intensity. The person becomes more focused on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.(手势和胳膊和腿的运动可能出现频率或强度会较低。这个人会更专注于说谎，所以他们的身体会变得更安静)”可知，段中介绍了非语言交流，即肢体语言，在识别谎言中的重要性。所以B选项“Get better at body language.(更了解肢体语言)”能很好概括本段内容，是最佳小标题。故选B项。 【19题详解】 下文“Hand gestures and arm and leg movements may occur with less frequency or intensity.(手势和胳膊和腿的运动可能出现频率或强度会较低)”提出身体行为的具体变化，是对F选项“People who are lying often become more still.(说谎的人往往会变得更加静止)”的举例说明，句中“less frequency or intensity”与F项中“still”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【20题详解】 上文“In conclusion, identifying lies is a complex process.(总之，识别谎言是一个复杂的过程)”总结了识别谎言的复杂性，E选项“It requires a keen eye and ear for tiny clues.(这需要敏锐的眼睛和耳朵来捕捉微小的线索)”进一步解释了识别谎言所需的技能，即敏锐的观察力和听力，与上文内容相呼应，构成了对识别谎言过程的完整描述。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 30 years old, I became a single mother due to a car accident.

My parents gave me my first toolbox when I was five years old, because they thought playing with Lego (乐高) could help improve my flexibility. Although it was difficult to put all the pieces together, I made my first Lego car. As I grew older, I became interested in Lego Technic, which allowed me to create more complicated things. By the age of nine, I had made my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego Technic — a simple box that perfectly suited my right arm. This early creation drove me for further exploration. Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-I. It had fingers, a motor, a sensor that felt pressure, a moving elbow, and a grabber to pick up things. Before constructing it, I had already decided against traditional prosthetics. Not because they were ineffective, but because playing with Lego did significantly improve my flexibility, helping me adapt to my condition. Besides, a more disappointing reason was that traditional prosthetics were too expensive. My parents and I had found one a few years earlier, only to be discouraged by the costly price. So, I concluded that I might not need to buy one because I was trying to make a better one. Moreover, the pure joy of creating prosthetics with Lego Technic kept me going on. As the years passed, my creations changed from MK-I to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. It featured a control unit that could send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that work like muscles. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, came to me after learning about my creations. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Tom,” the father sincerely asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew it would be a challenging and demanding task, but I responded with a “yes”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I rushed to the boy’s home and put the prosthetics on him! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I knew it would be a challenging and demanding task, but I responded with a “yes”. The boy raised his head with his once lifeless eyes now shining with a spark of hope. Smiling warmly at him, I immediately set out to do the task. Considering the factors like the family’s financial situation, his physical condition and personal interests, I carefully selected the Lego pieces that were suitable for him. Gradually, the boy’s unique prosthetics took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose. I rushed to the boy’s home and put the prosthetics on him. Holding breath, we waited anxiously for the result—they worked! The room was filled with cheers! The boy, with tears of happiness in his eyes, rushed to his parents to embrace them in the biggest hug he hadn’t been able to give for years. The scene was truly inspiring. Never had I imagined that my creations, originating purely from amusement, would someday make such a significant difference. It is on that day that I made up my mind to devote myself to making a lifelong impact on the field of prosthetic innovation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者通过使用乐高技术构建自己的义肢，并逐渐发展出更先进的版本。作者对乐高技术的探索和创造激发了他的进一步研究动力。最终，作者利用自己的技能帮助一对失去双臂的夫妇为他们的儿子建造了一套功能良好的义肢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道这将是一项具有挑战性和要求很高的任务，但我回答说“是的””可知，第一段可描写作者给了孩子坚定的目光并开始了工作，经过几周的时间使定制假肢最终成型的故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“我冲到男孩的家里，把假肢固定在他身上。”可知，第二段可描写孩子戴上假肢后，第一次拥抱了父母，他们感到很感激。那一刻作者意识到了自己的爱好居然对别人有那么大的影响，并决定致力于假肢创新领域。 2.续写线索：开始工作——选材、组装——最终成型——孩子戴上假肢——拥抱父母——感激——作者决定致力于假肢创新领域 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①着手做：set out to do/set about doing ②选择：select/choose carefully ③完成：fulfill/achieve/accomplish 情绪类 ①焦急地：anxiously/restlessly ②鼓舞人心的：inspiring/encouraging ③下定决心：make up one’s mind/ set one’s heart on something 【点睛】【高分句型1】The boy lifted his head with his once lifeless eyes now glittering with a spark of hope.（使用了with复合结构作状语） 【高分句型2】Never had I imagined that my creations, originating purely from amusement, would someday make such a significant difference.（使用了倒装句和现在分词作后置定语） 【高分句型3】It is on that day that I made up my mind to devote myself to making a lifelong impact on the field of prosthetic innovation.（运用了强调句型和动名词作宾语） 1-5 ABACC 6-10 BABBA 11-15 ACCAB 16-20 CABCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023级“贵百河一武鸣高中”10月高二年级新高考月考测试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、学校、班级和准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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.

Antarctica With a population estimated at somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000 people, the world’s fifth largest continent is a land of extremes — the coldest and driest continent on the planet. Travelers can only reach it by ice-strengthened vessels made for sailing through the rough seas. Though known for its breath-taking scenery, visitors who trek through the wilderness must be well-prepared or accompanied by a tour operator who knows the area well. Mawsynram, India This Indian town receives an average of 11 metres of rainfall every year. In 1985, the Guinness Book of World Records dubbed it the wettest place on earth after it saw 25 metres of rain in a single year. Plagued by a subtropical climate and monsoons, Mawsynram is both a difficult place to live and an interesting trip for tourists. Mount Thor, Canada At 1,675 metres tall, Mount Thor is not the world’s highest peak, but it is the steepest. As the most famous summit in Canada, Mount Thor is made of pure granite (岗岩), with a 1250-metre vertical drop and an average angle of about 105 degrees. Despite the fact that the mountain is in a remote area, it’s a popular destination for avid mountain climbers.

B As one of the biggest animal stars in Hollywood, Crystal the Monkey has worked with some leading directors and actors, stolen scenes from top comedians, and walked the red carpet at the Oscars. Crystal’s acting career began when she was two and a half years old. In 1996, she was trained by an animal trainer from Birds and Animals Unlimited, a company which provides animals to Hollywood in Florida, where she was named after the famous country singer Crystal Gayle. In her first movie, George of the Jungle (1997), Crystal stole audiences’ hearts when she played sweet and sassy “Little Monkey”. Then, in Night at the Museum (2006), she was mischievous Dexter who made museum guard Ben Siller’s life difficult. Since then, she has appeared in more than 31 movies and television shows. Directors love Crystal’s fun personality and how well she performs her own stunts (特技表演). Magazine writers can’t praise her enough, “It was like she was born to perform,” says one, Crystal is “the most powerful pet in Hollywood”, says another. And her paycheck? In her role as Dr. Rizzo on Animal Practice (2012-2013), Crystal received $12,000 for each episode, more than many human actors receive. In five of her movies, she holds a box office gross of more than $2.5 billion. Those are no small bananas! Megan Talbert executive director (执行董事) of Boston-based service monkey training academy Helping Hands, wants people to realize that owning a monkey like Crystal as a pet is not easy. “In the U.S., many pet monkeys do not get the care and attention they deserve throughout their 30-to-40-year lifespan,” she says. “What many people do not realize is that Crystal lives with her handler and trainer Tom Gunderson and his family. Both Tom and his wife are professional animal trainers who have looked after Crystal since she was two years old.” 4. What can we learn about Crystal the Monkey? A. She was named after a famous movie star. B. She started her acting career at a very young age. C. She has starred in fewer than 31 films and TV shows. D.

It requires love and concern. B. It’s not so easy but rewarding. C. It’s a good way to make money. D. It’s only suitable for professional trainers. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Animal Stars in Hollywood B. Animal Trainers in Hollywood C. Tips for Owning a Monkey as a Pet D. The Hottest Monkey in Hollywood C 150 minutes of exercise a week: that’s how much we should all be doing. Does this mean that gyms are the best ways to guarantee our health? Maybe, but they are not without their own health risks. Health reports have suggested that some gym-goers’ hygiene (卫生) standards leave much to be desired. Bacteria that can cause serious illness, such as food poisoning, was found on the surface of gym equipment. Sweat and the increased temperature caused by exercise can help dangerous bacteria grow or the skin, which can be transferred to our clothing. It might not just be the microbes (微生物) at a gym that could be poisonous. Unhealthy gym culture may be leading people to feel judged or threatened. It’s known that over half those surveyed felt anxious when going to the gym. This feeling of being judged, and an overly competitive atmosphere, could create pressure to over-exercise. Over-exercise refers to overreaching and over-training. There are differences between them. The first is the result of a single instance of over-exercise, which leads to no more than muscle soreness, while the latter is more long-term and can have more serious outcomes. Over-training has been linked to injuries, exhaustion, reduced appetite and problems with sleep or weight gain. When exercise becomes a compulsion it can also be dangerous for our mental health. Experts point out that feeling guilt at missed gym courses or trying to use exercise as a way to control our bodies could be signs that exercise dependency is a problem. This can be linked with a negative body image. So we don’t need to push ourselves so hard. Of course, we shouldn’t forget that exercise can really help our physical and mental health, as long as we can maintain a healthy relationship with it. 8. What can we know according to the health reports? A. Few gym-goers suffer exercise anxiety. B. Gym-goers need to improve their hygiene standards. C. Gyms are responsible for the spread of bacteria in gyms. D. Sweat and increased temperature have no effect on bacteria growth. 9. What can be inferred from the passage about gym culture? A.

D A new analysis of dozens of arrowheads is helping researchers piece together a clearer portrait of the warriors who fought on Europe’s oldest battlefield 3250 years ago. The bronze arrowheads were recovered from the Tollense Valley in northeast Germany. Researchers first uncovered the site in 1996when an archaeologist spotted a bone sticking out of a bank of the Tollense River. Since then, excavations (挖掘) have unearthed 300 metal finds and 12,500 bones belonging to about 150 individuals who fell in battle at the site in 1250 BC. Recovered weaponry has included swords, wooden clubs and lots of arrowheads. No direct evidence of an earlier battle of this scale has ever been discovered, which is why Tollense Valley is considered the site of Europe’s oldest battle, according to researchers who have studied the area since 2007. Studies of the bones have thrown new light on the men — all young, strong and able-bodied warriors, some with healed wounds from previous skirmishes (战斗). But details on why they fought in such a bloody battle have long confused researchers. There are no written accounts describing the battle, so as teams of archaeologists have unearthed more finds from the valley, they have used the well-preserved remains and weapons to try to piece together the story behind the ancient battle scene. Now, a team of researchers studying arrowheads used in the battle has discovered evidence that it included local groups as well as an army from the south. These findings suggest the fight was the earliest example of interregional conflict in Europe — and raise new questions about the state of the organized, armed violence thousands of years ago. “The arrowheads are a kind of ‘smoking gun’,” said lead study author Leif Inselmann. “Just like the murder weapon in a mystery, they give us a clue about the cause, the fighters of the Tollense Valley battle and where they came from.” 12. What makes the Tollense Valley unique among ancient battle sites in Europe? A. It is the first site to have such a large number of arrowheads. B. It is considered the location of Europe’s oldest known battle. C. It is the only site where swords and wooden clubs were found. D. It has the most well-preserved remains of warriors from 1250 BC. 13. What have long puzzled researchers about the Tollense Valley battle? A. The exact date of the battle. B. The location of the battlefield. C. The reasons behind the conflict. D. The number of the warriors in the battle. 14. Why does Leif Inselmann regard the arrowheads as “smoking gun”? A. They are the most valuable artifacts found at the site. B. They reveal the identities of the warriors who fought. C. They are the direct evidence of the battle’s occurrence. D. They provide clues to the cause and origin of the fighters. 15. What can be inferred from this excavation? A. The warriors came from the same area or community. B. It contributes additional details to the Europe’s oldest battle. C. Ancient warriors’ personal lives and beliefs are clearly described. D. It offers an entire and definitive account of Europe’s oldest battle. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Signs You’re Being Lied To Is there a liar in the room? Lies occur frequently, but nobody wants to be caught. Here are some signs to help you spot a liar. Listen to the voices. Pay attention to voice changes like change in pitch or cracking. ___16___ A person’s voice pitch tends to be a bit higher when lying than when telling the truth. It doesn’t mean they’re lying for sure, but there’s a greater possibility.

My parents gave me my first toolbox when I was five years old, because they thought playing with Lego (乐高) could help improve my flexibility. Although it was difficult to put all the pieces together, I made my first Lego car. As I grew older, I became interested in Lego Technic, which allowed me to create more complicated things. By the age of nine, I had made my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego Technic — a simple box that perfectly suited my right arm. This early creation drove me for further exploration. Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-I. It had fingers, a motor, a sensor that felt pressure, a moving elbow, and a grabber to pick up things. Before constructing it, I had already decided against traditional prosthetics. Not because they were ineffective, but because playing with Lego did significantly improve my flexibility, helping me adapt to my condition. Besides, a more disappointing reason was that traditional prosthetics were too expensive. My parents and I had found one a few years earlier, only to be discouraged by the costly price. So, I concluded that I might not need to buy one because I was trying to make a better one. Moreover, the pure joy of creating prosthetics with Lego Technic kept me going on. As the years passed, my creations changed from MK-I to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. It featured a control unit that could send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that work like muscles. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, came to me after learning about my creations. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Tom,” the father sincerely asked, “we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew it would be a challenging and demanding task, but I responded with a “yes”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I rushed to the boy’s home and put the prosthetics on him! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABACC 6-10 BABBA 11-15 ACCAB 16-20 CABCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
