B Maslow said, “If you have a hammer... then everything you’ll see is a nail.” Basically, when we acquire or are given a specific tool or skill, we tend to be influenced by its function and usefulness-leading us to see opportunities to use that tool or skill everywhere. This creates a tendency that limits creative problem-solving by making us rely too much on what we know, even when it’s no longer useful. In 1949, Wagner Dodge led the Smoke Jumpers, a first-class firefighting team, to battle a wildfire in Montana. The conditions quickly worsened as strong winds and intense heat turned the fire into a deadly force, making a safe withdrawal the only option. Dodge realized that the heavily-equipped team couldn’t outrun the fire, so he made a quick, unconventional decision. With flames closing in, Dodge ordered his team to drop their heavy equipment to escape faster. But the crew seemed unable or unwilling to follow his lead. After all, they needed their tools to fight fire, didn’t they? Dodge then did something so unexpected that his crew thought he’d lost his mind. He took out his matches and began to set fire to the grass in front of him, causing a second fire to spring up. As this technique was something that occurred to Dodge on the spot and not something taught in training, the crew didn’t seem to understand what he was doing and no one followed him. They continued to flee from the fire, which was closing in at an estimated 30 miles per hour. After what must have seemed an eternity but was in reality just a couple of minutes, Dodge, despite some injuries from the fresh ashes, survived by lying in the newly burnt area, but 13 of his men tragically died, unable to let go of their tools and trust Dodge’s desperate, life-saving strategy. 4. Why does the author mention Maslow’s quote about the hammer and nail? A. To show that tools are essential in all problem-solving situations. B. To explain how people become overly reliant on familiar tools and methods. C. To emphasize the importance of good training for a dangerous situation. D. To suggest that the right tools could have saved Dodge’s crew. 5. What was Dodge’s unusual decision after assessing the speed of the fire? A. He wanted to be the only one to withdraw safely. B. He approached the flames with little equipment. C. He ordered his crew to drop the fire-fighting equipment. D. He provided his crew with unconventional equipment. 6. Why did Dodge’s crew fail to follow his lead of causing a second fire? A. They didn’t trust him because he had lost their respect earlier. B. They were too tired to comprehend Dodge’s instructions. C. The fire did not spread as quickly as they had anticipated. D. They couldn’t grasp his new approach as it wasn’t part of their training. 7. What does the underlined word “eternity” mean in the last paragraph? A. A moment of intense relief. B. A sense of endlessness. C. A very short period of time. D. A lifelong memory of the event. C Salvador Dali, a great painter, had a strange way of refreshing his mind-something he called “slumber with a key”. In his book, he described how it worked. “You must seat yourself in an armchair. In your left hand, you hold a heavy key, hanging above a plate. Then, you will have merely to let yourself progressively fall into a peaceful afternoon sleep. As you fall asleep gradually, the key will slip from your fingers and clang (叮当作响) on the plate, awakening you,” he wrote. Now Dali’s mysterious-sounding method has been documented by science. “We show that this period between wake and sleep is very inspiring for creativity-and napping (打盹) with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot,” said Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. Oudiette and her colleagues conducted an experiment — 103 volunteers were asked to complete a series of math problems. Unbeknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve them. The volunteers were asked to copy Dali’s method but pinching (捏) a plastic bottle with their fingertips rather than a key. Some took a Dali-style micro nap, some napped longer, and others didn’t nap at all. Afterwards, the researchers asked all the volunteers to solve the math problems and found volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. The researchers think in this stage, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations-make distant associations between different memories-and that could be helpful for creativity. Meanwhile, you keep some awareness that might help you recognize when you have a great idea. Oudiette says the next step of her work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks beyond math problems to know more about the mechanism-and maybe try to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot. 8. How does Salvador Dali’s “slumber with a key” method work? A. By encouraging creativity while we’ re half asleep. B. By strengthening memory in a relaxed state. C. By improving sleeping quality with a key in hand. D. By staying awake to have a peaceful afternoon sleep. 9. What can we learn about the experiment of Oudiette? A. The volunteers were asked to solve a math problem. B. The volunteers did the same as Dali had done. C. The volunteers taking a shorter sleep did best. D. The volunteers sleeping longer got the answers faster. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The subjects of the experiment. B. The purpose of the experiment. C. The findings of the experiment. D The theoretical analysis of the experiment. 11. What will Oudiette do in her follow-up work? A. Research into napping with different tasks. B. Conduct more experiments on math problems. C. Study the mechanism of various napping. D. Teach people how to complete creative tasks. D For the precise timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. While the best quartz (石英) timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade. Such devices are accurate enough to drive everything from GPS and the internet to stock-market trading. However, researchers are now working on a successor: the nuclear clock. Ekkehard Peik, a pioneer in the field, says such a clock could be 1,000 times more accurate than today’s atomic clocks. Atomic clocks work by exciting the electrons around an atom’s nucleus (原子核) with incoming radiation of a specific frequency, with each wave cycle corresponding to a “tick.” Nuclear clocks would function similarly but would use the transitions of neutrons and protons (中子和质子) inside the nucleus. The most promising candidate nucleus is thorium-229, which uniquely, has a nuclear transition that lasers (激光) should be able to activate. The exact frequency at which this occurs, however, has long been unknown. Researchers Chuankun Zhang and Jun Ye, from the University of Colorado in Boulder, bypassed this challenge by developing a custom-built laser capable of generating a range of frequencies around the expected transition point. When they fired it at the target, one particular light stream matched the nuclear transition frequency. Although the system needs optimization, Zhang says, “It’s the first demonstration that all the components of a nuclear clock are here.” Because atomic clocks are already more than accurate enough for most practical uses, scientists are not aiming to replace them. Instead, they are more interested in the advantages of having two independent methods for measuring time, as beyond precise timekeeping, nuclear clocks could have broader applications in fundamental physics. One potential use is in testing Einstein’s theory of relativity, which suggests, among other things, that clocks should tick more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. If nuclear clocks show any differences in their response compared to atomic clocks under such conditions, it could motivate a rethinking of these well-established theories. 12. What do we know about atomic clocks? A. They are less accurate than quartz timepieces. B. They are accurate enough for nearly all practical uses today. C. The difference between atomic and quartz clocks is insignificant. D. They are not reliable enough for technologies like GPS or stock trading. 13. What breakthrough did Chuankun Zhang and Jun Ye achieve? A. They predicted the exact frequency of the thorium-229 nu clear transition. B. They discovered a new type of nuclear transition in thorium-229. C. They built a laser to target frequencies near the transition point. D. They used a microwave-based laser to measure the thorium-229 transition. 14 The text suggests that Einstein’s theories of relativity might need revision if ______. A. atomic clocks stop working accurately in strong gravity B. nuclear clocks prove to be more accurate than atomic clocks C. scientists discover a new force beyond the nuclear and electromagnetic forces D. nuclear clocks tick differently in strong gravity compared to atomic clocks 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The End of Atomic Time: A New Clock Redefining Precision B. The New Age of Timekeeping: From Quartz to Atomic Clocks C. The Nuclear Revolution: A Clock That Changed Our Understanding of Time D. The Test of Time: A New Clock Challenging the Laws of Physics 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。 There’s little scientific agreement on how much money is enough to make humans happy. ____16____ After that, higher incomes don’t necessarily lead to greater happiness. But other research finds no such cutoff point. Money may not be a path to absolute joy, but it can certainly help. Here are a few research-supported suggestions on how to get the most happiness out of your spending: ● EXPERIENCES MAKE US HAPPIER THAN THINGS Cornell University psychology professor Gilovich says that buying an experience will probably result in more happiness than buying new things. ____17____ That’s great for surviving after a major negative change or the loss of a sense like sight or smell. But that adaptation is not so helpful if you’ re looking to enhance your well-being. Humans will soon get used to a new dining table or a fancier car. But experiences remain novel-and connect us to other people. Beyond that, our tendency to compare material objects is greater than our tendency to compare experiences. It’s easy to compare the size of a house or the price of clothing. ____18____ “You build your experience around you,” says Gilovich, which means you get your own, unique memories to treasure and your own social connections to develop. ●TIME IS WORTH THE MONEY Don’t want to clean your bathroom? Hate cleaning out the car? ____19____ A 2017 study published in PNAS found that buying time for activities you enjoy brings consistent emotional rewards. ● SPEND ON OTHERS Like spending on experiences, “prosocial” spending helps build social connections. ____20____ Social psychologist Lara Aknin notes that giving creates a positive cycle. She says, “Giving to others makes us happy. The happier you are, the more likely you are to do it again.” A. But experiences are often more personal. B. This includes giving to charity or treating a friend. C. That doesn’t mean money can solve all one’s problems. D. For one thing humans have a habit of adapting to new situations. E. Most people fall into one of the two groups, the researchers found. F. One 2010 study suggests an annual income of $75,000 is the magic number. G. If you can afford to buy your way out of the tasks you most dislike, you should. 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。 Sarah had been planning her dream vacation to Italy for years.

His days were filled with a sense of responsibility, whether it was spending time playing with his baby sister Suzy, assisting Mom with cooking dinner, or drying dishes for Dad after supper. But Jeremy’s favorite job was feeding Fletch. Fletch was the family cat. With its beautiful tiger-striped coat, Fletch was more than just a pet; it was a loyal companion and provided emotional value during his stressful days. Their bond was unbreakable. When Fletch was hungry, it had a unique way of conveying its needs to Jeremy-by bumping (碰) his head on Jeremy’s legs. And Jeremy would immediately attend to his friend. To him, sharing household chores (家务活) and caring for family members were not just tasks; they were filled with joy. One evening, as the family gathered for dinner, little Suzy realized she had lost her favorite doll. Her tears were about to interrupt the peaceful atmosphere of supper. Mom, who was always caring, gently tasked Jeremy with finding the doll in the backyard. Without hesitation, Jeremy sprang into action, determined to bring a smile back to Suzy’s face. Under the dim (朦胧的) moonlight, he searched carefully and eventually found the bright red doll among the grass. With a smile on his face, he returned hurriedly, bringing a sense of relief to the entire family. However, Jeremy’s joy was short. As he prepared for bed, he realized that Fletch was missing. It was certainly a restless evening for Jeremy as he anxiously searched every corner of the house for Fletch. Starting in the bathroom, he quickly moved on to the hallway, his heart pounding with each step. Finding no sign of the cat, he ran down the stairs, his eyes scanning every inch of the house, and panic set in as he searched everywhere, only to discover the back door wide open. Tears welled up in his eyes. The thought that Fletch was nowhere to be found hit him crazily. 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。 He hurried to the kitchen where Mom was peacefully sipping her tea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As dawn broke, Jeremy rushed downstairs, and opened the back door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年高三摸底考试 英 语 试 题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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?

(该课程提供在线和面对面两种形式，为不同地点的学生提供灵活性。)”可知，学生可以在线上课，也可以在不同地点上课，显示了该计划的灵活性。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In addition, 20 minutes of each class during the school year is focused on the building blocks of writing (including vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, etc.) (此外，在学年期间，每节课都有20分钟的时间专门讲解写作的基础知识（包括词汇、语法、句子结构等）)”可知，每个班级有20分钟专门讲解写作的基础知识。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“An initial payment of 100 is due on registration, and the remaining fee of $1,900 is payable over four payments over the school year. (注册时支付100美元的首期费用，其余1900美元的费用在整个学年分四次支付。)”可知，注册时需支付100美元的初始费用，其余1900美元可在学年分四次支付。故选A。 B Maslow said, “If you have a hammer... then everything you’ll see is a nail.” Basically, when we acquire or are given a specific tool or skill, we tend to be influenced by its function and usefulness-leading us to see opportunities to use that tool or skill everywhere. This creates a tendency that limits creative problem-solving by making us rely too much on what we know, even when it’s no longer useful. In 1949, Wagner Dodge led the Smoke Jumpers, a first-class firefighting team, to battle a wildfire in Montana. The conditions quickly worsened as strong winds and intense heat turned the fire into a deadly force, making a safe withdrawal the only option. Dodge realized that the heavily-equipped team couldn’t outrun the fire, so he made a quick, unconventional decision. With flames closing in, Dodge ordered his team to drop their heavy equipment to escape faster. But the crew seemed unable or unwilling to follow his lead. After all, they needed their tools to fight fire, didn’t they? Dodge then did something so unexpected that his crew thought he’d lost his mind. He took out his matches and began to set fire to the grass in front of him, causing a second fire to spring up. As this technique was something that occurred to Dodge on the spot and not something taught in training, the crew didn’t seem to understand what he was doing and no one followed him. They continued to flee from the fire, which was closing in at an estimated 30 miles per hour. After what must have seemed an eternity but was in reality just a couple of minutes, Dodge, despite some injuries from the fresh ashes, survived by lying in the newly burnt area, but 13 of his men tragically died, unable to let go of their tools and trust Dodge’s desperate, life-saving strategy. 4. Why does the author mention Maslow’s quote about the hammer and nail? A. To show that tools are essential in all problem-solving situations. B. To explain how people become overly reliant on familiar tools and methods. C. To emphasize the importance of good training for a dangerous situation. D. To suggest that the right tools could have saved Dodge’s crew. 5. What was Dodge’s unusual decision after assessing the speed of the fire? A. He wanted to be the only one to withdraw safely. B. He approached the flames with little equipment. C. He ordered his crew to drop the fire-fighting equipment. D. He provided his crew with unconventional equipment. 6. Why did Dodge’s crew fail to follow his lead of causing a second fire? A. They didn’t trust him because he had lost their respect earlier. B. They were too tired to comprehend Dodge’s instructions. C. The fire did not spread as quickly as they had anticipated. D. They couldn’t grasp his new approach as it wasn’t part of their training. 7. What does the underlined word “eternity” mean in the last paragraph? A. A moment of intense relief. B. A sense of endlessness. C. A very short period of time. D. A lifelong memory of the event. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了道奇在野火中没有过于依赖工具，最终及时逃生，而过度依赖工具的队员却不幸遇难。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Maslow said, “If you have a hammer... then everything you’ll see is a nail.” Basically, when we acquire or are given a specific tool or skill, we tend to be influenced by its function and usefulness-leading us to see opportunities to use that tool or skill everywhere. This creates a tendency that limits creative problem-solving by making us rely too much on what we know, even when it’s no longer useful. (马斯洛说：“如果你有一把锤子……然后你看到的一切都是钉子。”基本上，当我们获得或获得一种特定的工具或技能时，我们往往会受到其功能和有用性的影响，从而使我们看到在任何地方使用该工具或技能的机会。这就产生了一种倾向，使我们过于依赖我们所知道的东西，即使这些东西不再有用，也会限制创造性的问题解决。)”可知，作者提到马斯洛关于锤子和钉子的引言是为了解释人们是如何过度依赖熟悉的工具和方法的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dodge realized that the heavily-equipped team couldn’t outrun the fire, so he made a quick, unconventional decision. (道奇意识到这支装备精良的队伍无法逃离大火，所以他做出了一个迅速而非常规的决定。)”以及第三段中“With flames closing in, Dodge ordered his team to drop their heavy equipment to escape faster. (随着火焰逼近，道奇命令他的小队放下重型装备，以便更快地逃生。)”可知，道奇在评估了火势的速度后，他做出的不寻常的决定是命令队员扔掉消防设备。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the crew seemed unable or unwilling to follow his lead. After all, they needed their tools to fight fire, didn’t they? (但队员们似乎不能或不愿听从他的指挥。毕竟，他们需要工具来灭火，不是吗？)”和第四段“Dodge then did something so unexpected that his crew thought he’d lost his mind. He took out his matches and began to set fire to the grass in front of him, causing a second fire to spring up. As this technique was something that occurred to Dodge on the spot and not something taught in training, the crew didn’t seem to understand what he was doing and no one followed him. (然后道奇做了一件意想不到的事，他的队员们都以为他疯了。他拿出火柴，开始在他面前的草地上点火，引起了第二场大火。由于这个技巧是道奇当场想到的，而不是训练中教的，所以队员似乎不明白他在做什么，也没有人跟着他。)”可知，道奇的队员没有跟随的原因是他们无法理解道奇的新方法，因为这不是他们训练中教的内容。故选D。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“but was in reality just a couple of minutes, Dodge, despite some injuries from the fresh ashes, survived by lying in the newly burnt area, but 13 of his men tragically died, unable to let go of their tools and trust Dodge’s desperate, life-saving strategy. (但实际上只有几分钟，尽管道奇被新燃烧的灰烬弄伤了一些，但他躺在新燃烧的地方幸存了下来，但他的13名手下不幸丧生，他们无法放下自己的工具，也无法相信道奇不顾一切的救命策略。)”可知，这段危险时期看似漫长但实际上只有几分钟的时间，所以此处eternity指的是“漫长的时间”，即“一种无尽的感觉”。A. A moment of intense relief一瞬间的巨大解脱；B. A sense of endlessness无尽的感觉；C. A very short period of time很短的时间；D. A lifelong memory of the event对事件的终生记忆。故选B。 C Salvador Dali, a great painter, had a strange way of refreshing his mind-something he called “slumber with a key”. In his book, he described how it worked. “You must seat yourself in an armchair. In your left hand, you hold a heavy key, hanging above a plate. Then, you will have merely to let yourself progressively fall into a peaceful afternoon sleep. As you fall asleep gradually, the key will slip from your fingers and clang (叮当作响) on the plate, awakening you,” he wrote. Now Dali’s mysterious-sounding method has been documented by science. “We show that this period between wake and sleep is very inspiring for creativity-and napping (打盹) with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot,” said Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. Oudiette and her colleagues conducted an experiment — 103 volunteers were asked to complete a series of math problems. Unbeknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve them. The volunteers were asked to copy Dali’s method but pinching (捏) a plastic bottle with their fingertips rather than a key. Some took a Dali-style micro nap, some napped longer, and others didn’t nap at all. Afterwards, the researchers asked all the volunteers to solve the math problems and found volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. The researchers think in this stage, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations-make distant associations between different memories-and that could be helpful for creativity. Meanwhile, you keep some awareness that might help you recognize when you have a great idea. Oudiette says the next step of her work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks beyond math problems to know more about the mechanism-and maybe try to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot. 8. How does Salvador Dali’s “slumber with a key” method work? A. By encouraging creativity while we’ re half asleep. B. By strengthening memory in a relaxed state. C. By improving sleeping quality with a key in hand. D. By staying awake to have a peaceful afternoon sleep. 9. What can we learn about the experiment of Oudiette? A. The volunteers were asked to solve a math problem. B. The volunteers did the same as Dali had done. C. The volunteers taking a shorter sleep did best. D. The volunteers sleeping longer got the answers faster. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The subjects of the experiment. B. The purpose of the experiment. C. The findings of the experiment. D. The theoretical analysis of the experiment. 11. What will Oudiette do in her follow-up work? A Research into napping with different tasks. B. Conduct more experiments on math problems. C. Study the mechanism of various napping. D. Teach people how to complete creative tasks. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了萨尔瓦多·达利的“带钥匙小睡”方法及科学验证。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Salvador Dali, a great painter, had a strange way of refreshing his mind-something he called “slumber with a key”. In his book, he described how it worked. “You must seat yourself in an armchair. In your left hand, you hold a heavy key, hanging above a plate. Then, you will have merely to let yourself progressively fall into a peaceful afternoon sleep. As you fall asleep gradually, the key will slip from your fingers and clang (叮当作响) on the plate, awakening you,” he wrote. (伟大的画家Salvador Dali有一种奇特的提神方法——他称之为“带钥匙小睡”。在他的书中，他描述了它是如何工作的。“你必须坐在扶手椅上。你左手拿着一把很重的钥匙，挂在一个盘子上面。然后，你只需要让自己逐渐进入一个宁静的下午睡眠。当你逐渐入睡时，钥匙会从你的手指滑落，并在盘子上叮当作响，唤醒你。”)”和第二段中““We show that this period between wake and sleep is very inspiring for creativity-and napping (打盹) with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot,” said Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. (巴黎大脑研究所的睡眠研究员Delphine Oudiette说：“我们发现，在清醒和睡眠之间的这段时间非常能激发创造力，而拿着东西打盹可能有助于进入这个创造性的最佳点。”)”可知，Salvador Dali的“带钥匙小睡”方法的工作原理为在我们半睡半醒的时候促进创造力。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A fterwards, the researchers asked all the volunteers to solve the math problems and found volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. (随后，研究人员要求所有志愿者解决数学问题，发现小睡一会儿的志愿者解决问题的可能性是完全不午睡的志愿者的近三倍。那些睡眠时间较长的人实际上比那些短暂睡眠和保持清醒的人表现更差。)”可知，睡眠时间较短的志愿者表现最好。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The researchers think in this stage, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations-make distant associations between different memories-and that could be helpful for creativity. Meanwhile, you keep some awareness that might help you recognize when you have a great idea. (研究人员认为，在这个阶段，你拥有两个世界中最好的：睡眠和清醒。因此，你失去了对自己思想的控制，产生了松散的联想——在不同的记忆之间建立遥远的联系——这可能有助于创造力。与此同时，你保持一些意识，这可能会帮助你意识到你什么时候有一个好主意。)”可知，本段主要介绍了实验的理论分析，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Oudiette says the next step of her work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks beyond math problems to know more about the mechanism-and maybe try to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot. (Oudiette说，她的下一步工作将包括在数学问题之外的其他创造性任务中重复这个实验，以了解更多关于这个机制的知识，并可能试图教会人们达到这个创造性的最佳点。)”可知，Oudiette在她的后续工作中将会研究不同任务的小睡情况，故选A。 D For the precise timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. While the best quartz (石英) timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade. Such devices are accurate enough to drive everything from GPS and the internet to stock-market trading. However, researchers are now working on a successor: the nuclear clock. Ekkehard Peik, a pioneer in the field, says such a clock could be 1,000 times more accurate than today’s atomic clocks. Atomic clocks work by exciting the electrons around an atom’s nucleus (原子核) with incoming radiation of a specific frequency, with each wave cycle corresponding to a “tick.” Nuclear clocks would function similarly but would use the transitions of neutrons and protons (中子和质子) inside the nucleus. The most promising candidate nucleus is thorium-229, which uniquely, has a nuclear transition that lasers (激光) should be able to activate. The exact frequency at which this occurs, however, has long been unknown. Researchers Chuankun Zhang and Jun Ye, from the University of Colorado in Boulder, bypassed this challenge by developing a custom-built laser capable of generating a range of frequencies around the expected transition point. When they fired it at the target, one particular light stream matched the nuclear transition frequency. Although the system needs optimization, Zhang says, “It’s the first demonstration that all the components of a nuclear clock are here.” Because atomic clocks are already more than accurate enough for most practical uses, scientists are not aiming to replace them. Instead, they are more interested in the advantages of having two independent methods for measuring time, as beyond precise timekeeping, nuclear clocks could have broader applications in fundamental physics. One potential use is in testing Einstein’s theory of relativity, which suggests, among other things, that clocks should tick more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. If nuclear clocks show any differences in their response compared to atomic clocks under such conditions, it could motivate a rethinking of these well-established theories. 12. What do we know about atomic clocks? A. They are less accurate than quartz timepieces. B. They are accurate enough for nearly all practical uses today. C. The difference between atomic and quartz clocks is insignificant. D. They are not reliable enough for technologies like GPS or stock trading. 13. What breakthrough did Chuankun Zhang and Jun Ye achieve? A. They predicted the exact frequency of the thorium-229 nu clear transition. B. They discovered a new type of nuclear transition in thorium-229. C. They built a laser to target frequencies near the transition point. D. They used a microwave-based laser to measure the thorium-229 transition. 14. The text suggests that Einstein’s theories of relativity might need revision if ______. A. atomic clocks stop working accurately in strong gravity B. nuclear clocks prove to be more accurate than atomic clocks C. scientists discover a new force beyond the nuclear and electromagnetic forces D. nuclear clocks tick differently in strong gravity compared to atomic clocks 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The End of Atomic Time: A New Clock Redefining Precision B. The New Age of Timekeeping: From Quartz to Atomic Clocks C. The Nuclear Revolution: A Clock That Changed Our Understanding of Time D. The Test of Time: A New Clock Challenging the Laws of Physics 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新型核时钟的研发将重新定义时间精度。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For the precise timekeeper, only an atomic clock will do. While the best quartz (石英) timepieces will lose a millisecond every six weeks, an atomic clock might not lose a thousandth of one in a decade. Such devices are accurate enough to drive everything from GPS and the internet to stock-market trading. (对于精确计时的人来说，只有原子钟才能做到。最好的石英表每六周会损失一毫秒，而原子钟每十年可能不会损失千分之一毫秒。这些设备足够精确，可以驱动从GPS和互联网到股票市场交易的一切)”可知，原子钟对于几乎所有实际应用来说都已经足够准确了。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers Chuankun Zhang and Jun Ye, from the University of Colorado in Boulder, bypassed this challenge by developing a custom-built laser capable of generating a range of frequencies around the expected transition point. (来自博尔德科罗拉多大学的研究人员张传坤和叶军绕过了这一挑战，他们开发了一种定制的激光器，能够在预期的过渡点周围产生一系列频率)”可知，二人制造了一种能够针对接近转变点的频率的激光。故选C。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If nuclear clocks show any differences in their response compared to atomic clocks under such conditions, it could motivate a rethinking of these well-established theories. (如果在这种条件下，核时钟与原子钟的反应有任何不同，就可能促使人们重新思考这些已经确立的理论)”可知，如果核时钟在强引力场中的反应与原子时钟不同，那么爱因斯坦的相对论可能需要修正。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“However, researchers are now working on a successor: the nuclear clock.

But other research finds no such cutoff point. Money may not be a path to absolute joy, but it can certainly help. Here are a few research-supported suggestions on how to get the most happiness out of your spending: ● EXPERIENCES MAKE US HAPPIER THAN THINGS Cornell University psychology professor Gilovich says that buying an experience will probably result in more happiness than buying new things. ____17____ That’s great for surviving after a major negative change or the loss of a sense like sight or smell. But that adaptation is not so helpful if you’ re looking to enhance your well-being. Humans will soon get used to a new dining table or a fancier car. But experiences remain novel-and connect us to other people. Beyond that, our tendency to compare material objects is greater than our tendency to compare experiences. It’s easy to compare the size of a house or the price of clothing. ____18____ “You build your experience around you,” says Gilovich, which means you get your own, unique memories to treasure and your own social connections to develop. ●TIME IS WORTH THE MONEY Don’t want to clean your bathroom? Hate cleaning out the car? ____19____ A 2017 study published in PNAS found that buying time for activities you enjoy brings consistent emotional rewards. ● SPEND ON OTHERS Like spending on experiences, “prosocial” spending helps build social connections. ____20____ Social psychologist Lara Aknin notes that giving creates a positive cycle. She says, “Giving to others makes us happy. The happier you are, the more likely you are to do it again.” A. But experiences are often more personal. B. This includes giving to charity or treating a friend. C. That doesn’t mean money can solve all one’s problems. D. For one thing, humans have a habit of adapting to new situations. E. Most people fall into one of the two groups, the researchers found. F. One 2010 study suggests an annual income of $75,000 is the magic number. G. If you can afford to buy your way out of the tasks you most dislike, you should. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了金钱与幸福感之间的关系，并提供了几条基于研究的建议，帮助人们通过合理消费获得更多的幸福感。 【16题详解】 根据上文“There’s little scientific agreement on how much money is enough to make humans happy. (关于多少钱才足以让人快乐，科学界几乎没有一致意见)”可知，本空需要引出关于金钱与幸福关系的一个具体观点或研究，因此选项F“One 2010 study suggests an annual income of $75,000 is the magic number. (2010年的一项研究表明，年收入75000美元是一个神奇的数字)”介绍2010年的一项研究，能承接上文，下文的“After that”以及“cutoff point”指出，设空处是一个赚钱能否感到快乐的临界点数值，选项F符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“That’s great for surviving after a major negative change or the loss of a sense like sight or smell. But that adaptation is not so helpful if you’ re looking to enhance your well-being. Humans will soon get used to a new dining table or a fancier car. But experiences remain novel-and connect us to other people. (在经历了重大的负面变化或失去视觉或嗅觉等感官后，这对生存是很有帮助的。但如果你想提高幸福感，这种适应并不是很有帮助。人类很快就会习惯新的餐桌或更漂亮的汽车。但体验仍然是新奇的，并将我们与其他人联系起来)”可知，本空需要引出人类对新情况的适应这一话题，选项D“For one thing, humans have a habit of adapting to new situations. (一方面，人类有适应新环境的习惯。)”能引起下文，符合逻辑。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Beyond that, our tendency to compare material objects is greater than our tendency to compare experiences. It’s easy to compare the size of a house or the price of clothing. (除此之外，我们的倾向比较物质对象大于比较经历。比较房子的大小或衣服的价格是很容易的)”可知，前文介绍了物质的比较，本空应谈论经历与物质对象的不同之处。A选项“But experiences are often more personal. (但经历往往更个人化。)”能承接上文，指出了经历与物质对象的不同之处，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Don’t want to clean your bathroom? Hate cleaning out the car? (不想打扫浴室？讨厌清理汽车？)”可知，本空需要给出对这些问题的建议或解决方案。G选项“If you can afford to buy your way out of the tasks you most dislike, you should. (如果你有能力用金钱摆脱你最不喜欢的任务，你应该这样做。)”给出了一个实际的建议，能承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Like spending on experiences, “prosocial” spending helps build social connections. (与体验消费一样，“亲社会”消费有助于建立社会联系)”可知，本空需要解释什么是“亲社会”消费。B选项“This includes giving to charity or treating a friend.

His days were filled with a sense of responsibility, whether it was spending time playing with his baby sister Suzy, assisting Mom with cooking dinner, or drying dishes for Dad after supper. But Jeremy’s favorite job was feeding Fletch. Fletch was the family cat. With its beautiful tiger-striped coat, Fletch was more than just a pet; it was a loyal companion and provided emotional value during his stressful days. Their bond was unbreakable. When Fletch was hungry, it had a unique way of conveying its needs to Jeremy-by bumping (碰) his head on Jeremy’s legs. And Jeremy would immediately attend to his friend. To him, sharing household chores (家务活) and caring for family members were not just tasks; they were filled with joy. One evening, as the family gathered for dinner, little Suzy realized she had lost her favorite doll. Her tears were about to interrupt the peaceful atmosphere of supper. Mom, who was always caring, gently tasked Jeremy with finding the doll in the backyard. Without hesitation, Jeremy sprang into action, determined to bring a smile back to Suzy’s face. Under the dim (朦胧的) moonlight, he searched carefully and eventually found the bright red doll among the grass. With a smile on his face, he returned hurriedly, bringing a sense of relief to the entire family. However, Jeremy’s joy was short. As he prepared for bed, he realized that Fletch was missing. It was certainly a restless evening for Jeremy as he anxiously searched every corner of the house for Fletch. Starting in the bathroom, he quickly moved on to the hallway, his heart pounding with each step. Finding no sign of the cat, he ran down the stairs, his eyes scanning every inch of the house, and panic set in as he searched everywhere, only to discover the back door wide open. Tears welled up in his eyes. The thought that Fletch was nowhere to be found hit him crazily. 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。 He hurried to the kitchen where Mom was peacefully sipping her tea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As dawn broke, Jeremy rushed downstairs, and opened the back door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: He hurried to the kitchen where Mom was peacefully sipping her tea. She looked up in surprise. “Jeremy, what are you up to?” she asked anxiously. Jeremy struggled to catch his breath and explained what had happened to Fletch. He must have slipped out because the back door was open. Jeremy buried his face in his hands, tears streaming uncontrollably. Mom embraced him softly, saying “I’m sure Fletch is smart enough to find his way back and we can search for Fletch tomorrow morning together.” Jeremy had trouble falling asleep, hoping the morning came sooner. As dawn broke, Jeremy rushed downstairs, and opened the back door. There was Fletch, licking his paw to wash his face. It ran to Jeremy at the sight of him, comforting Jeremy with a soft meow as if to say it was safe and sound. Then Fletch bumped his head on Jeremy’s legs as if to say he was hungry and wanted to have breakfast. Without a word, Jeremy prepared a large portion of cat food for Fleitch, a silent apology for his fault. “Next time, I promise to be more careful,” he whispered. 【解析】 【导语】本文以责任心强Jeremy为线索展开，讲述了一个充满责任心的小男孩Jeremy陪妹妹玩耍，帮父母做家务，更喜欢照顾家里的小猫Fletch，他们之间关系亲密，有一天晚上，在帮助妹妹找到丢失的洋娃娃后，发现小猫Fletch消失了，Jeremy开始四处寻找小猫Jeremy。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他急忙跑到厨房，妈妈正在那里安静地喝茶。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈见到Jeremy的反应以及知道小猫消失后如何安慰Jeremy以及Jeremy的反应，结合第二段的提示，本段可以叙述一下Jeremy晚上是怎么度过的。 ②由第二段首句内容“天一亮，Jeremy就冲下楼，打开后门。”可知，第二段可描写Jeremy打开门后发现了什么，以及小猫Fletch见到Jeremy后的反应和Jeremy接下来是怎么做的。 2.续写线索：告知妈妈——安慰Jeremy——一夜难眠——一大早去开门——小猫Fletch回归——照顾Fletch 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①屏住呼吸：catch one’s breath/hold one’s breath ②流下：streamed/roll down/flow ③拥抱：embraced/hug 情绪类 ①惊讶：in surprise/surprisingly/in astonishment ②焦急不安：anxiously/restlessly/disturbedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jeremy struggled to catch his breath and explained what had happened to Fletch.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Jeremy buried his face in his hands, tears streaming uncontrollably.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型3] Jeremy had trouble falling asleep, hoping the morning came sooner. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
