B Ronald Hennig, an 18-year-old, self-confident young man, remembers a crucial moment two years ago when a family member passed away.

C With his fingertips, Jose Pedro Gonzalez examined a small-scale model of Barcelona’s famous Sagrada Familia church in an exhibition that allows a particular group of visitors to discover some of the world’s best- known monuments. “I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like,” Gonzalez said with excitement as he explored the wooden copy of the beautiful church created by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with 71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind. Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture. According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection. In 2023, the museum received 16,000 visitors. Besides the architectural models, the museum also showcases artwork by visually impaired artists and displays tools and equipment used in the past to assist blind individuals in accessing culture, including Braille books. After exploring a room filled with models of Spain’s famous landmarks, such as the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Madrid’s Royal Palace, and the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, Gonzalez praised the exhibition as “really marvelous.” Another room displays international icons like the Taj Mahal, London Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower. For people like Gonzalez, despite detailed explanations, they can never get a proper image of what exhibits are like without fingertips, which undoubtedly have created a lot of frustration. The fact that there are spaces like this is fantastic. 8. What can be learned about Gonzalez? A. He loses his sight. B. He works in the museum. C. He is an architect. D. He visits the church regularly. 9. What does the underlined word “boasts” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Sorts. B. Restores. C. Lacks. D. Houses. 10. What makes the Typhlological Museum unique? A. It provides models available to touch. B It displays the artworks of blind artists. C It focuses on historic architectural designs. D. It receives the most visitors all over the world. 11. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Church in Barcelona: Spain’s Architectural Wonder B. Delicate Models: Reproductions of World Landmarks C. Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind D. The Typhlological Museum: A Visual Feast for Architects D The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But electric vehicle s require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). Adam Simon, professor of earth and environmental studies at the University of Michigan, examined 120 years of global data from mining companies and calculated how much copper the US electricity infrastructure (基础设施) and the US vehicles would need to upgrade to renewable energy, finding that the copper needs would exceed what copper mines can produce at the current rate. The shortfall is in part because of the lengthy permitting process for mining companies, which averages around 20 years. To electrify the global vehicle fleet, six new large mines must be operational annually over the next decade, with 40% of new production used to grid upgrades. “I’ve got solar panels, batteries, and an electric vehicle,” Simon says. “I’m fully on board with the energy transition. However, it needs to be done in a way that’s achievable.” Instead of completely electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyot a Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? “Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says. The study highlights that significant progress can be made to reduce emissions in the United States. However, the current emphasis on renewable energy technology producing exceeds copper production capabilities. A mindset shift among environmentalists and policymakers towards mining is crucial to bridge this gap and ensure a sustainable energy transition. 12. What is a challenge to promote The Inflation Reduction Act? A. High cost of grid upgrades. B. Limited availability of copper. C. Great shortage of electric cars. D. Lack of charging infrastructure. 13. How does Simon feel about fully electrifying vehicles in the coming decade? A. Confident. B. Indifferent. C. Certain. D. Skeptical. 14. Why is Toyota Prius mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To advocate the use of hybrid vehicles. B. To highlight the popularity of Toyota cars. C. To criticize the environmental impact of Tesla. D. To prove Toyota Prius is better than other vehicles. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A solution to copper shortages. B. A bottleneck in energy transition. C. An advantage of electric vehicles. D. An appeal on energy conservation. 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。 We've all heard those people who say “running gives you a high “or” exercise is addictive,” but for many of us, it's hard to love exercise. ___16___ Why do some of us hate exercise?

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 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。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1～5 ACBAC 6～10 AACBB 11～15 BCABC 16～20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市第八中学2025届高考适应性月考卷（二） 英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2. 每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

This left him with an urgent yet ignored need: a suit for the funeral.(Ronald Hennig，一个18岁，自信的年轻人，记得两年前一个家庭成员去世的关键时刻。这给他留下了一个迫切而又被忽视的需求：一套葬礼上穿的衣服)”可知，当他的家人去世时，Hennig需要为某一场合而穿的一套衣服。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This online place for adopted children connected Ronald’s sincere wish with an unknown donor, and he got a made to-measure suit.(这个收养儿童的网站将罗纳德的真诚愿望与一位不知名的捐赠者联系起来，他得到了一套量身定做的西装)”和“For years, the platform has changed the lives of countless adopted children, granting their wishes, such as getting bicycles or having music lessons.(多年来，这个平台改变了无数被收养儿童的生活，满足了他们的愿望，比如买自行车或上音乐课)”可知，One Simple Wish平台满足了被收养青少年的心愿。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Danielle, who changed from an adoptive parent to an advocate, recognized the unmet needs and came up with a solution.(Danielle从养父母变成了一名倡导者，她意识到了这些未被满足的需求，并想出了一个解决方案)”可知，Danielle是一个具有同情心的人。根据文章最后一段“One Simple Wish promotes a culture of online charity, bringing warmth and leaving a last ing impact.(One Simple Wish促进了一种网络慈善文化，带来了温暖，并留下了持久的影响)”可知，Danielle创办的平台给被收养的孩子和社会带来了温暖和持续的影响。由此推知，可用sympathetic和influential来描述Danielle。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Motivated by the belief that every child should have a better life, Danielle calls on society to pay attention and take action, stressing the importance of even the smallest wishes.(Danielle坚信每个孩子都应该有更好的生活，她呼吁社会关注并采取行动，强调即使是最小的愿望也很重要)”可推知，Danielle通过One Simple Wish想要传达的是即使是小小的善举也能产生深远的影响。故选C。 C With his fingertips, Jose Pedro Gonzalez examined a small-scale model of Barcelona’s famous Sagrada Familia church in an exhibition that allows a particular group of visitors to discover some of the world’s best- known monuments. “I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like,” Gonzalez said with excitement as he explored the wooden copy of the beautiful church created by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with 71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind. Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture. According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection. In 2023, the museum received 16,000 visitors. Besides the architectural models, the museum also showcases artwork by visually impaired artists and displays tools and equipment used in the past to assist blind individuals in accessing culture, including Braille books. After exploring a room filled with models of Spain’s famous landmarks, such as the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Madrid’s Royal Palace, and the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, Gonzalez praised the exhibition as “really marvelous.” Another room displays international icons like the Taj Mahal, London Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower. For people like Gonzalez, despite detailed explanations, they can never get a proper image of what exhibits are like without fingertips, which undoubtedly have created a lot of frustration. The fact that there are spaces like this is fantastic. 8. What can be learned about Gonzalez? A. He loses his sight. B. He works in the museum. C. He is an architect. D. He visits the church regularly. 9. What does the underlined word “boasts” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Sorts. B. Restores. C. Lacks. D. Houses. 10. What makes the Typhlological Museum unique? A. It provides models available to touch. B. It displays the artworks of blind artists. C. It focuses on historic architectural designs. D. It receives the most visitors all over the world. 11. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Church in Barcelona: Spain’s Architectural Wonder B. Delicate Models: Reproductions of World Landmarks C. Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind D. The Typhlological Museum: A Visual Feast for Architects 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西班牙马德里一个独特的博物馆。该博物馆陈列了世界各地著名建筑的复刻模型供盲人触摸、感受从未见过的建筑奇迹。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段第一句“With his fingertips(用指尖)”和第二段“I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like(我生来就没有用眼睛感知世界的能力。这是我第一次感受纪念碑的样子，对里面的空间有了一个大致的了解)”可知，Gonzalez是失明的，只能靠手去感受博物馆的模型，故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain(西班牙马德里的Typhlological博物馆)”和“37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites(37个世界著名古迹的复制品，都被列为世界遗产)”可知，该博物馆“陈列或拥有”37 个复刻品，划线词boasts的意思是“陈列或拥有”，和houses意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“ Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture.According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection.(这些模型由木材、石头、金属或树脂制作而成，所有游客都可以访问，提供建筑的亲身体验。据视障导游Mireia Rodriguez介绍，世界上没有其他博物馆拥有如此独特的藏品。)”可知，这个博物馆独一无二之处在于能让盲人通过触摸感受模型、感知世界，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind.(西班牙马德里的Typhlological博物馆拥有37个世界著名古迹的复制品，它们都被列为世界遗产。1992年，拥有7.1万名会员的西班牙国家盲人组织ONCE成立了这座博物馆，博物馆的名字来自希腊语“tuphlos”，意思是盲人。)”可知，本文主要介绍了西班牙马德里的The Typhlological Museum，其独特之处在于提供各地著名建筑的复刻模型供盲人触摸、感受从未见过的建筑奇迹，因此最恰当的题目是C选项“Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind(马德里博物馆：盲人的特殊体验)”。故选C。 D The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But electric vehicle s require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). Adam Simon, professor of earth and environmental studies at the University of Michigan, examined 120 years of global data from mining companies and calculated how much copper the US electricity infrastructure (基础设施) and the US vehicles would need to upgrade to renewable energy, finding that the copper needs would exceed what copper mines can produce at the current rate. The shortfall is in part because of the lengthy permitting process for mining companies, which averages around 20 years. To electrify the global vehicle fleet, six new large mines must be operational annually over the next decade, with 40% of new production used to grid upgrades. “I’ve got solar panels, batteries, and an electric vehicle,” Simon says. “I’m fully on board with the energy transition. However, it needs to be done in a way that’s achievable.” Instead of completely electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyot a Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? “Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says. The study highlights that significant progress can be made to reduce emissions in the United States. However, the current emphasis on renewable energy technology producing exceeds copper production capabilities. A mindset shift among environmentalists and policymakers towards mining is crucial to bridge this gap and ensure a sustainable energy transition. 12. What is a challenge to promote The Inflation Reduction Act? A. High cost of grid upgrades. B. Limited availability of copper. C. Great shortage of electric cars. D. Lack of charging infrastructure. 13. How does Simon feel about fully electrifying vehicles in the coming decade? A. Confident. B. Indifferent. C. Certain. D. Skeptical. 14. Why is Toyota Prius mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To advocate the use of hybrid vehicles. B. To highlight the popularity of Toyota cars. C. To criticize the environmental impact of Tesla. D. To prove Toyota Prius is better than other vehicles. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A solution to copper shortages. B. A bottleneck in energy transition. C. An advantage of electric vehicles. D. An appeal on energy conservation. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了能源转型中所需要的铜金属短缺的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But an electric vehicle requires a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline-powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid.(《2022年通货膨胀减少法案》要求到2035年生产的汽车100%为电动汽车。但一辆电动汽车需要的化学元素铜是汽油车的三到五倍，更不用说升级电网所需的铜了。)”可知，2022 年颁布的法案要在 2035 年前实现全电车化，但电车所需要用到的铜资源比油车要多出3到5倍，更别提电网升级还需要额外的铜资源，由此可知铜资源非常短缺，阻碍了法案的推行。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says.(可再生能源技术、清洁水、废水、电力——没有铜就不可能存在。因此，在欠发达国家建设基础设施需要多少铜和能源转型需要多少铜之间，我们最终会出现紧张局面。” Simon说。)”可知，Simon是支持能源转型的，但铜资源短缺这一实际问题让Simon 对于在未来十年时间内实现全面电车化这件事情是持怀疑态度的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“Instead of fully electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyota Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? (研究人员建议把重点放在生产混合动力汽车上，而不是让美国汽车完全电动化。例如，丰田普锐斯对气候的影响实际上比特斯拉稍好一些。与其每年在全球生产1亿辆纯电动汽车，不如专注于生产2000万辆混合动力汽车更实际吗？)”可知，丰田普锐斯是混动车，其对气候的影响比纯电车 Tesla 还要小一些，由此可知作者提到 丰田普锐斯的目的是为了证明混动车相对于电车的优势，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But electric vehicle s require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). (但是电动汽车需要的化学元素铜是汽油车的三到五倍，更不用说升级电网所需的铜了。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了能源转型中所遇到的瓶颈——铜金属短缺的问题，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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We've all heard those people who say “running gives you a high “or” exercise is addictive,” but for many of us, it's hard to love exercise. ___16___ Why do some of us hate exercise?

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 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。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand towards Chips. My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated. Memories of past fear surged through my mind, but I pushed them aside. I closed my eyes briefly and forced myself to touch him. To my surprise, instead of barking or pulling away, Chips simply wagged his tail and leaned into my hand. The softness of his fur under my fingers was comforting, and a small smile crept onto my face. I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. Chips wagged his tail, his eyes filled with kindness, not aggression. I sat back, watching him settle at my feet, and the weight of the fear I had carried for so long began to lift. My mom smiled, clearly noticing the change in me, and I smile back. I had thought that all dogs wanted to hurt me, but Chips had proven me wrong. For the first time since the attack, I felt like I could let go of my fear and start to trust again. Only then did I realize that to conquer fear is the beginning of growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一年级的时候被一只黑狗咬伤，这导致他有了严重的噩梦和对狗的极度恐惧，甚至影响到了他的日常生活和学习，作者的母亲注意到了他的问题，决定帮助他克服对狗的恐惧。她邀请小作者和她一起去见她的朋友Emma和她家的狗Chips，作者去了以后仍然感到非常害怕，但他也意识到这只狗和之前咬他的狗不同。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈温柔的鼓励下，我知道我必须试一试。”可知，第一段可描写作者在母亲的温柔鼓励下，鼓起勇气尝试与狗Chips接触的过程和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续拍着他，感觉我的想法发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者在与狗Chips进一步互动后，内心发生的变化以及这一变化带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：作者伸出手——强迫自己碰狗——狗很友好——狗坐在作者脚边——作者笑了——作者放下恐惧——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/stick out ②强迫：force/compel ③放开：let go of/let loose 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊讶：to my surprise/to my astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated.
