梅雁中学2024-2025高三上学期10月月考英语试题 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A At a summer camp, while you may have a long list of things to do during the day, you also need some evening activities. Night Hikes Night hikes are a fun evening activity for summer campers, especially older ones. Take a guided night hike, allowing yourself to experience nature in a different setting. Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and always follow appointed paths. Plan the hike to ensure that you can return safely before it gets too late in the evening. Movie Nights Set up a screen and projector outdoors, and have a movie night under the stars. Prepare blankets, popcorn, and a comfortable spot for yourself to spread out and get comfortable. You should also consider other forms of seating, including chairs and picnic tables. It’s also a good idea to check the forecast. If there is rain, have alternative indoor summer camp activities. Campfire Stories Gather around a campfire for storytelling. The goal is to entertain and help campers bond. Select stories that suit the age and interests of your audience. You can also share experiences and horror stories. However, speaking aloud around the campfire is sometimes a struggle. Prepare some familiar stories in advance. Campfire Rhythms Instead of stories, you may prefer campfire rhythms. Bring out the guitars, drums, and other instruments for a beautiful evening. You can perform traditional camp songs or learn something new for the evening. The easiest option is to select a variety of songs that cater to all ages and musical tastes. 21. What should campers consider before taking night hikes? A. Audience’s age and interests. B. Bonding and entertainment. C. Dress and security. D. Story selection and preparation. 22. What can be learned about movie nights? A. They require attention to the weather. B. They are more popular than campfire stories. C. They take place in an indoor screening room. D. They offer various forms of free food services. 23. Which of the following suits campers enjoying music most? A. Night hikes. B. Movie nights. C. Campfire stories. D. Campfire rhythms. B I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try something new. As a mom and writer, I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socializing, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that. “Maybe something you can do with your hands.” The suggestion felt like an escape exit. Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about, and the thing that made my brain away from its standard complaints. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I signed up for a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment. At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended. I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable (可量化的): Now I have made a pot. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair. Finally finding a hobby that was just for my own enjoyment was a release. I enjoy having something to do that didn’t involve a screen and therefore felt far from the style of work to which I was most accustomed — hands covered in clay cannot swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time for this also means carving out time for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life. 24. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. Cooking was her cup of tea. B. Cooking was more a job than a hobby. C. Cooking was a piece of cake for her. D Cooking was no more than a hobby for her. 25. Why did the author take up ceramics classes? A. Because she wanted to escape from the kitchen. B. Because hands-on classes appealed to her most. C. Because she wanted to free herself from her routine work. D. Because a new hobby would help her gain an edge in her profession. 26. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The author was too lazy to learn ceramics. B. The author was finally fascinated by ceramics. C. The author got rid of outer forces through ceramics. D. The author made more progress in ceramics than in writing. 27. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the text? A. Never be afraid of changes. B. A new hobby keeps you away from screens. C. If you are to change others, be the change first. D. Be brave to inject something new into your life. C When people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they' re referring to are usually episodic（情景的） memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life. Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know. Usually, the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers（诱因） in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you're eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word “Oscar”, the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory. These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they've been called mind- pops（闪念）. Mind- pops shouldn't be confused with insight, which is the sudden pop ping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind- pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger. Mind- pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They're often experienced by people when they're engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you're reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school. I do experience mind- pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my context that may have triggered my mind- pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind- pops are completely random. 28. Which of the following might be episodic memory? A. You predict a heavy rain is on the way. B. A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly. C. A song reminds you of your middle school graduation. D. You think of a round shape when hearing the word “circle”. 29. What is a feature of mind- pops? A. They have obvious triggers. B. They come out without warning. C. They appear in the form of images. D. They often bring long- lasting memories. 30. What does the underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Careful. B. Dull. C. Necessary. D. Challenging. 31. What is the aim of this passage? A. To explore human inner thoughts. B. To point out the memory formation. C. To distinguish different memory scenes. D. To explain some similar memory phenomena. D A new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the “usefulness” of stories— their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI “professionalizes” stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring. In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight- sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three- sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI- generated ideas for their inspiration. They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and “usefulness”. They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI- generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier. The researchers evaluated the writers' creativity using a Divergent Association Task（DAT） and found that more creative writers—— those with the highest DAT scores—— benefitted least from generative AI ideas. Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to15.2% less boring. Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI- inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.” 32. What were some participants assigned to do in the study? A. Help targeted young writers.----- B. Improve some less creative works. C. Create a mini story for young men. D. Use AI to judge the quality of stories. 33. Who benefitted most from the AI- assisted writing in the study? A. Those using AI most. B. Those of most creativity. C. Those with the help of ChatGPT. D. Those writing the most. 34. What might be Anil Doshi’s attitude toward the AI- assisted writing? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive. 35. What can be the best title for the passage? A. AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays B. AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers.. C. AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages D. AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers 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。 How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫). ___36___ Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable. Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. ___37___ It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. ___38___ Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage. Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated. ___39___ If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in. Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. ___40___ A. Understand bird behavior. B Train your bird to be quiet. C. This may be especially useful for parrots. D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love. E. Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe. F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone. G. Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same. 第二部分 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。 At just 21 years old, Nija Charles is one of today's most popular songwriters.

We wished for one every time we threw coins in a fountain or watched the evening star drop behind the trees. However, our mother believed that we were still too thoughtless to take on the task of raising a pet. She had witnessed our forgetfulness on household chores and getting into small conflicts. In her eyes, these were signs that we lacked the necessary responsibility. One summer night, as we sat together on the roof, Josie saw something. She pointed down toward a dark shadow, “What’s that?” For one astonishing second, Josie and I stared at each other. Then we rushed down onto the doorway. There in our yard stood a black dog. Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. The dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, then a step back, not sure whether to trust us. She was so skinny that I could just feel every bone, and her coat was messy. “We’re going to have a dog!” My inside was full of excitement, just like before Christmas or our birthday. “What’s a good name?” said Josie. The perfect name wrote itself in my mind, “Shadow!” The next day, we piled together all the pocket money we had to buy all kinds of dog foods and hid it in various places because we were afraid Mom wouldn’t approve that if she knew we were feeding a homeless dog. That night, after our parents were asleep, we silently slipped downstairs to feed Shadow. We carefully poured the dog food into the bowl, trying to make as little noise as possible. Shadow, who had been waiting eagerly by our side, wagged (摇晃) her tail. As we placed the bowl on the floor, a creaking (吱吱的) sound filled the house. Suddenly, the kitchen light was switched on, illuminating the room and revealing our shocked faces. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was our mother, standing there surprisingly. _______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible owners. ________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 梅雁中学2024-2025高三上学期10月月考英语试题答案 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 21-23 CAD 24-27 BCBD 28-31 CBBD 32-35 CAAC 36-40 ACFGE C 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知心理学的几种现象，如情景记忆、语义记忆还有闪念及其与顿悟之间的差异等。 28. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中对情景记忆的介绍“ For example, you’ re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory.”可以推断C选项属于情景记忆的范畴。 29. B 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，闪念是在脑海中闪现的记忆，没有可识别的触发点，突然在我们脑海中闪过。 30. B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的例子“ like mopping the floor or brushing teeth”以及“ Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind.”可知，刷牙、拖地是单调的日常工作，由此推断B选项词义与画线词词义接近。 31. D 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了什么是情景记忆、语义记忆、闪念及其与顿悟的区别等，由此推断文章的目的是解释一些相似的记忆现象。 D 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现利用人工智能写作可以提高故事创意的新颖性和故事的“有用性”，但是经由人工智能辅助创造出的故事被发现包含更多的相似之处，缺乏多样性。 32. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight- sentence‘ micro story’ for a target audience of young adults.”可知，参与者被要求在有 AI 或者没有 AI 的帮助下给年轻人写八句话的小故事。 33. A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“ They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity”可知，那些得到AI帮助最多的参与者写出的故事更具创意性，他们获益最大。 34. A 推理判断题。根据末段内容可知，Anil Doshi既提到了人工智能辅助生成故事的优点：个人创造力有所提高，也提到了缺点：集体创造力存在丧失的风险，因此他的评价是客观的。 35. C 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了人工智能可以提高故事创意的新颖性，但同时也会使AI协助的写作产生相似性，故判断C选项可以作为文章标题。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了如何让宠物鸟保持安静。 【36题详解】根据下文“Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking.

Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call.( 给你的鸟一个舒适和安全的环境。野外的鸟类参与“鸟鸣”，作为与其他鸟类交流和确保鸟群安全的一种方式。如果你离开房间时，你的鸟可能会吱吱叫，这可能是它试图向你发出鸟鸣。)”可知，上文提到要采取一些措施来确保鸟感到安全和舒适。所以建议通过模仿鸟的叫声来回应, 是一种提供安全感的方式，因为它可能被鸟理解为一种群体间的交流，表明它并不孤单。故E选项“试着用叫声回应，让他知道你很安全”切题。故选E项。 完形填空 41．A 42．C 43．D 44．A 45．D 46．B 47．D 48．B 49．D 50．A 51．C 52．B 53．C 54．A 55．B 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了当今最受欢迎的词曲作家Charles。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：她曾与碧昂丝、Jay Z、Cardi B和其他许多当今流行音乐艺术家合作。A. working工作；B. competing竞争；C. arguing争论；D. entertaining使人愉快的。根据下文“It's 　　14　　 that my favourite artists are now the people I cooperate with.”（难以置信的是，我最喜欢的艺术家现在成了我的合作伙伴。）可知是Charles和许多当今流行音乐艺术家合作。故选A。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们的作品屡获殊荣。A. unaddressed无姓名地址的；B. labour-saving节省劳力的；C. award-winning获奖的；D. unsearchable不能探究的。根据后句“And she was even included in three Grammy nominations（提名）. ”（她甚至还获得了三项格莱美提名）可知他们的作品屡获殊荣。故选C。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但就在几年前，查尔斯只是人群中的一个粉丝。A. clerk职员； B. artist艺术家； C. focus中心点； D. fan粉丝。根据“in the crowd”（人群中）可知Charles只是人群中的一个粉丝。故选D。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：她出生在一个音乐世家。A. born出生；B. introduced介绍；C. invited邀请；D. forced强迫。根据后句“My dad is a DJ.

(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 读后续写      It was our mother, standing there surprisingly. Her eyes widened as she saw the scene before her. For a moment, there was silence, only with the creaking sound still lingering in the air. Stammering, we tried to explain to her. We told her about how we found Shadow and our longing for a dog, hoping that somehow our mother would understand it. After a long pause, she finally spoke, “I can see how much you both care for Shadow, and maybe it’s time for us to give her a home.” Mom decided to give us a chance to prove we could be responsible owners. From that day on, we poured our hearts into taking care of Shadow. We woke up early every morning to take her for walks and diligently cleaned up after her. Gradually, Shadow transformed before our eyes. Her coat became shiny and healthy, and she gained weight. She followed us everywhere like a second shadow. Not only had we achieved our dream of having a dog, we had also earned our mother’s trust and respect. 是我们的母亲，惊讶地站在那里。看到眼前的情景，她睁大了眼睛。沉默了一会儿，只有嘎吱嘎吱的声音还在空气中萦绕。我们结结巴巴地向她解释。我们告诉她我们是如何找到“影子”的，以及我们对一只狗的渴望，希望母亲能理解。沉默了很长时间，她终于开口了：“我看得出你们俩有多在乎黑影，也许是时候给她一个家了。” 妈妈决定给我们一个机会来证明我们可以成为负责任的主人。从那天起，我们倾注了我们的心去照顾影子。我们每天早起带她散步，并勤勤恳恳地为她打扫卫生。渐渐地，阴影在我们眼前转变了。她的皮毛变得光泽健康，体重也增加了。她像第二个影子一样跟着我们。我们不仅实现了养狗的梦想，还赢得了妈妈的信任和尊重。 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者和Josie一直想要一只小狗，但妈妈认为他们仍然太轻率，不能承担抚养宠物的任务。一天晚上他们在街上捡到一只流浪狗，他们把狗偷偷带回家养起来。一天晚上他们给狗喂食的时候被妈妈发现了，妈妈决定给他们一个机会来证明他们可以成为负责任的主人。他们勤勤恳恳地照顾小狗，赢得了妈妈的信任和尊重。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“是我们的妈妈，惊讶地站在那里。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈发现我们养狗后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈决定给我们一个机会来证明我们可以成为负责任的主人。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Josie把狗照顾的很好，赢得妈妈的信任和尊重。 2.续写线索：想要狗——妈妈不同意——捡到小狗——偷偷养狗——被发现——妈妈同意——把狗照顾的很好——赢得妈妈信任和尊重 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照顾：care for / look after ②改变：transform / change ③实现：achieve / realize 情绪类 ①渴望：long for / yearn for 【点睛】[高分句型1] We told her about how we found Shadow and our longing for a dog, hoping that somehow our mother would understand it.（运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Not only had we achieved our dream of having a dog, we had also earned our mother’s trust and respect.（运用了部分倒装） B I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try something new. As a mom and writer, I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socializing, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that. “Maybe something you can do with your hands.” The suggestion felt like an escape exit. Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about, and the thing that made my brain away from its standard complaints. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I signed up for a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment. At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended. I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable (可量化的): Now I have made a pot. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair. Finally finding a hobby that was just for my own enjoyment was a release. I enjoy having something to do that didn’t involve a screen and therefore felt far from the style of work to which I was most accustomed — hands covered in clay cannot swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time for this also means carving out time for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life. 24. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. Cooking was her cup of tea. B. Cooking was more a job than a hobby. C.

Because hands-on classes appealed to her most. C. Because she wanted to free herself from her routine work. D. Because a new hobby would help her gain an edge in her profession. 26. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The author was too lazy to learn ceramics. B. The author was finally fascinated by ceramics. C. The author got rid of outer forces through ceramics. D.

A new hobby keeps you away from screens. C. If you are to change others, be the change first. D. Be brave to inject something new into your life. 我仍然记得我的朋友给我的建议：尝试一些新的东西。作为一名母亲和作家，我压力很大，当然，我也玩手机太多了。我写的是关于工作用食物的文章，所以烹饪不再算是一种爱好，阅读和社交也不算是，尤其是因为我所有的朋友都在我的行业工作。我的生活中需要一些与这一切不同的东西。 “也许你可以用手做点什么。”这个建议感觉像是一个逃生出口。烹饪曾经是我下班回家放松的一件事，是我好奇的一件事，也是让我的大脑远离常规抱怨的一件事。厨房曾经是一种解脱，但现在它是我职业生活的一部分。它需要一个替代品。几个月后，我在公寓附近的工作室报名参加了一个陶艺课程（制陶艺术）。 在工作室里，一开始我是一个懒惰的学习者，但几个月后我就上瘾了，学期结束时我报了更多的课。我在空闲时间有地方可去，有东西让我好奇，我的目标与外部力量无关：老板、工作、市场、读者。与写作不同，我的进步是可以量化的（可量化的）：现在我做了一个锅，现在我的把手很漂亮。现在我做了两个东西，看起来差不多一对。 终于找到了一个自己喜欢的爱好，这是一种解脱。我喜欢做一些不涉及屏幕的事情，因此感觉与我最习惯的工作风格相去甚远——双手被粘土覆盖，不能很好地滑动（滑屏）。腾出时间来做这些也意味着腾出时间来创造和灵感，也意味着腾出时间来反思我的生活。这不仅仅是一种新的爱好。这是我们生活中每个人都需要的平静。 24. 第一段划线的句子是什么意思？ A.做饭是她的拿手好戏。 B.做饭与其说是一种爱好，不如说是一份工作。 C.做饭对她来说是小菜一碟。 D.做饭对她来说只不过是一种爱好。 25. 作者为什么上陶瓷课？ A.因为她想逃离厨房。 B.因为实践课程最吸引她。 C.因为她想从日常工作中解脱出来。 D.因为一个新的爱好可以帮助她在工作中获得优势。 26. 从第三段我们可以推断出什么？ A.作者懒得学陶瓷。 B.作者最终被陶瓷迷住了。 C.作者通过陶瓷摆脱了外力。 D.作者在陶瓷方面比在写作方面更有进步。 27. 作者在文章中主要想传达什么信息？ A.永远不要害怕变化。 B.新的爱好能让你远离屏幕。 C.如果你想改变别人，先自己改变。 D.勇敢地为你的生活注入新的东西。 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
