Notice though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page. In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them. Wish you success and happy new year! 21 The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______. A. a big dream B. constant practice C. earning money D. achieving success 22. Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel? A. Matty Dalrympl. B. Michael La Ronn. C. Ryan Van Cleave. D. Andromeda Romano. 23. Who might be the target readers of this issue? A. Writers. B. Businessmen. C. Booksellers. D. Literary agents. B My husband made a little two- story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately - instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers- by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. A young lady regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Books in Arabic, French, and Russian are commonly found alongside the dominant (占主导地位的) English - language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem - if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 24. Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A. To make friends with book lovers. B. To deal with their unwanted books. C. To show their kindness to the neighbors. D. To make use of community resources. 25. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The various resources of the library. B. People’s contributions to the library. C. People’s love for the library. D. The author’s devotion to the neighborhood. 26. What can we learn about the library according to paragraph 4? A. It reflects the city diversity. B. It has advantages over public libraries. C. It only has books of dominant languages. D. It has solved the problem of book storage. 27 What is the best title for the text? A The Comfortable Reading Corner: Promoting Reading B. The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library C. The Little Free Library: Contributing to Closer Connection D. The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony C PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMES VENUE DESIGN “Innovation is not just about technology; it’s about the human experience,” says Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the lead architect for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “We are crafting spaces that will be etched in the collective memory.” His vision is to create venues that are not only functional but also a testament to the spirit of the Games. Yet, the path to realizing this vision is fraught with challenges, as it requires balancing aesthetics with sustainability and legacy. Wilmotte, renowned for his work that blends modernity with tradition, is faced with the task of designing venues that will host the world’s most prestigious sporting event. His approach is to reimagine the urban landscape, creating spaces that are both iconic and adaptable, ensuring they serve Paris beyond the Games. The design process for the Olympic venues is a complex interplay of form and function. The benefits of thoughtful architectural design are particularly evident when the focus shifts from simple structures to those that demand a higher level of conceptual integration — such as venues that can be repurposed for community use post-Games. The differences in the design of traditional stadiums and the innovative venues for Paris 2024 are partly related to the physical properties of the materials and the spatial arrangement. With the new venues, there is a tactile quality to the spaces, along with a visual narrative that tells the story of the Games and the city’s heritage. But equally important is the conceptual aspect. The design team has proposed a theory of “spatial engagement,” suggesting that the venues should not only accommodate events but also engage visitors in a dialogue with the city and its culture. While the allure of new technology is undeniable, and many are tempted to rely solely on digital renderings and simulations, the tangible experience of the spaces cannot be replicated. Architects have found that when people physically engage with a space, they form a deeper connection and memory of the event. The Paris 2024 venues, with their integration of technology, art, and architecture, all play a role in shaping the Olympic experience. However, for creating an environment where the spirit of the Games is fully realized and the legacy is meaningful, the design team must not assume that all design approaches are equivalent, even when they aim to achieve the same objectives. 28. What does the phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 imply? A. The benefits are short-lived. B. The benefits are difficult to articulate. C. The benefits become readily apparent. D. The benefits are ready for implementation. 29. What does the “spatial engagement” theory assume? A. Venues should be treated as simple containers for events. B. Venues are easy to understand in terms of their design. C. People choose venues randomly based on their design. D. Venues should engage visitors in a meaningful way. 30. Why are technological tools increasingly used in the design process? A. They can capture the public’s imagination. B. They are more convenient to use in the design phase. C. They help develop more advanced architectural solutions. D. They provide more information than traditional design methods. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Multiple design approaches should be considered. B. Designers should create their own unique materials. C. Traditional design methods cannot be entirely replaced. D. The importance of experiential learning in design should not be overlooked. D In the quest to understand and compare the educational paradigms shaping the minds of future generations, researchers have delved into the intricate dynamics of Chinese and Western pedagogical approaches. Today, the discourse on education systems is often framed by ideological debates and cultural perspectives. Yet, a new comprehensive study aims to dissect these systems beyond surface-level observations, exploring the underlying philosophies and their impact on students. “With the proliferation of educational theories, it is crucial for us to examine the core principles that drive different educational systems,” said Dr. Li Wei, lead author of the study and a professor of comparative education at the University of Beijing. “These systems now influence the lives of millions of students worldwide, and as we increasingly rely on them to shape the minds of our youth, I wanted to know: How do they compare?” Using a diverse set of educational case studies and outcomes from various countries, Dr. Li and her team scrutinized the effectiveness and philosophical underpinnings of Chinese and Western education systems. “We were particularly interested in identifying the factors that contribute to the distinct characteristics of each system, such as the emphasis on rote learning in some cultures versus the focus on critical thinking in others,” said Dr. Li. Their study revealed that the educational outcomes are not solely determined by the amount of content covered but also by the pedagogical approach. Moreover, these systems are biased towards certain types of learners and intellectual development. This is expected since the educational systems are often a reflection of the cultural values and societal expectations of the regions they serve. What can we learn from the comparative analysis of these educational systems? “A great deal,” Dr. Li explained. “Educational policymakers can use our study to inform the development of curricula that balance the need for knowledge retention with the cultivation of critical thinking skills. To improve the adaptability of educational systems, we can also encourage the incorporation of diverse teaching methods that cater to a range of learning styles.” 32. What do we know about the current state of educational records and observations? A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly based on theoretical models. C. They are limited in scope. D. They are used for comparative analysis. 33. What does Dr. Li’s study focus on? A. Teaching methodologies. B. Educational infrastructure. C. Observational data. D. Student performance metrics. 34. What has led to the differences between the Chinese and Western education systems according to the study? A. Cultural and historical factors. B. Technological advancements. C. Economic disparities. D. Government policies. 35. What is Dr. Li’s suggestion for improving educational systems? A. Integrate more technology into classrooms. B. Standardize curriculums across different regions. C. Provide guidance to educators on diverse teaching methods. D. Focus on a single pedagogical approach for all subjects. 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。 Time is a valuable resource, especially for those who need to deal with academic demands, personal growth, and social activities at the same time.

It was leftover aluminum foil (锡纸) from a package my mum had opened. I picked it up and was immediately attracted by its sparkling appearance. Curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but ask my dad about it. “Dad, what is this paper called? It’s so shiny and beautiful!” I inquired, holding the aluminum foil up for him to see. My dad chuckled and replied, “That’s called aluminum foil, and it has many uses.” Naturally, my curiosity was piqued (激发), and I eagerly asked, “What can it be used for?” My dad smiled and said, “Why don’t you research it yourself? It’ll-be a great opportunity for you to learn something new.” With a sense of excitement, I grabbed my phone and started researching on the Internet. I found out that it is a type of metal paper called aluminum foil, which is moisture-proof (防潮的). As I looked through the information, an idea popped into my head. What if I put some water in a small aluminum foil container and heated it in the microwave? Would the water boil? Unable to resist-the urge to experiment, I cut a piece of aluminum foil and folded it into a small square container. I added some water into the container and placed it in the microwave. With my eyes wide open, I anxiously watched the aluminum foil container, filled with anticipation. But before I could see any changes in the water, suddenly a burst of fire erupted from the microwave, surprising me. I quickly rushed to unplug the appliance and collapsed onto the floor, feeling a great 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。 My dad, hearing the sound, hurried over and asked, “What happened?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my dad’s instructive words, I began cleaning the mess. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025(上)期中质量监测 高三英语 本试卷满分150分 考试时间120分钟 【命题组织单位：辽宁沈文新高考研究联盟】 第一部分 听力(共两节) 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will the man go to Hong Kong from Shanghai?

They have a sixth sense that enables them to pick out more important clues. But many of the female scientists are missing from public view. The more I do this research, the more I realize that women are at the heart of some of the most important developments in science. For example, Rosalind Franklin contributed much to the discovery of the structure of DNA. And the work of Margaret Wilcox, an American engineer, was crucial to the development of the air conditioner in cars. Each season, we’ll explore and celebrate the life and work of one woman who shaped our world view. And we’ll explore some of the reasons why you might not know her name. We’ll be looking at the barriers these women faced, as well as their passion and drive. Join us as we honor these remarkable stories you may not know. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 A Dear readers, “Persist.” — Viet Thanh Nguyen “Success is no accident.” — Chris Bohjalian “Keep writing and it’ll get easier.” — Lisa Jewell “Be patient with yourself.” — Min Jin Lee These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page. In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them. Wish you success and happy new year! 21. The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______.

The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately - instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers- by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. A young lady regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Books in Arabic, French, and Russian are commonly found alongside the dominant (占主导地位的) English - language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem - if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 24. Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A. To make friends with book lovers. B. To deal with their unwanted books. C. To show their kindness to the neighbors. D. To make use of community resources. 25. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The various resources of the library. B. People’s contributions to the library. C. People’s love for the library. D. The author’s devotion to the neighborhood. 26. What can we learn about the library according to paragraph 4? A. It reflects the city diversity. B. It has advantages over public libraries. C. It only has books of dominant languages. D. It has solved the problem of book storage. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Comfortable Reading Corner: Promoting Reading B. The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library C. The Little Free Library: Contributing to Closer Connection D. The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了一个小型免费图书馆，与社区书籍爱好者建立联系，分享阅读乐趣的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately — instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. (这个想法立刻引起了我们的共鸣——我们可以直接把不想读的书送到路边，而不是卖掉。)”可知，作者建立Little Free Library是为了更好地处理自己不想要的书籍。故选B。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. (许多使用我们图书馆的人毫不犹豫地分享他们对这个社区资源的热爱。一位绅士经常路过，为附近的养老院取书。在其他时候，我们收到卡片和礼物，包括巧克力，甚至是当地艺术家的个性化绘画。)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们对图书馆的热爱。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. (就像使用我们图书馆的人一样，来来往往的书反映了我们城市的广泛多样性。)”可知，图书馆反映了城市的多元化。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章最后一段“Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected (联系) us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. (我们的小免费图书馆提高了我们对阅读的热爱，并将我们与繁忙社区中心的书友社区联系起来。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了一个小型免费图书馆，与社区书籍爱好者建立联系，分享阅读乐趣的故事，故C项“免费的小图书馆：促进更紧密的联系”适合作为文章标题。故选C。 C PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMES VENUE DESIGN “Innovation is not just about technology; it’s about the human experience,” says Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the lead architect for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “We are crafting spaces that will be etched in the collective memory.” His vision is to create venues that are not only functional but also a testament to the spirit of the Games. Yet, the path to realizing this vision is fraught with challenges, as it requires balancing aesthetics with sustainability and legacy. Wilmotte, renowned for his work that blends modernity with tradition, is faced with the task of designing venues that will host the world’s most prestigious sporting event. His approach is to reimagine the urban landscape, creating spaces that are both iconic and adaptable, ensuring they serve Paris beyond the Games. The design process for the Olympic venues is a complex interplay of form and function. The benefits of thoughtful architectural design are particularly evident when the focus shifts from simple structures to those that demand a higher level of conceptual integration — such as venues that can be repurposed for community use post-Games. The differences in the design of traditional stadiums and the innovative venues for Paris 2024 are partly related to the physical properties of the materials and the spatial arrangement. With the new venues, there is a tactile quality to the spaces, along with a visual narrative that tells the story of the Games and the city’s heritage. But equally important is the conceptual aspect. The design team has proposed a theory of “spatial engagement,” suggesting that the venues should not only accommodate events but also engage visitors in a dialogue with the city and its culture. While the allure of new technology is undeniable, and many are tempted to rely solely on digital renderings and simulations, the tangible experience of the spaces cannot be replicated. Architects have found that when people physically engage with a space, they form a deeper connection and memory of the event. The Paris 2024 venues, with their integration of technology, art, and architecture, all play a role in shaping the Olympic experience. However, for creating an environment where the spirit of the Games is fully realized and the legacy is meaningful, the design team must not assume that all design approaches are equivalent, even when they aim to achieve the same objectives. 28. What does the phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 imply? A. The benefits are short-lived. B. The benefits are difficult to articulate. C. The benefits become readily apparent. D. The benefits are ready for implementation. 29. What does the “spatial engagement” theory assume? A. Venues should be treated as simple containers for events. B. Venues are easy to understand in terms of their design. C. People choose venues randomly based on their design. D. Venues should engage visitors in a meaningful way. 30. Why are technological tools increasingly used in the design process? A. They can capture the public’s imagination. B. They are more convenient to use in the design phase. C. They help develop more advanced architectural solutions. D. They provide more information than traditional design methods. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Multiple design approaches should be considered. B. Designers should create their own unique materials. C. Traditional design methods cannot be entirely replaced. D. The importance of experiential learning in design should not be overlooked. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会场馆主设计师Jean-Michel Wilmotte的设计理念、面临的挑战以及设计过程中的一些关键考虑因素，如空间利用、技术创新和与城市的互动等。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“His approach is to reimagine the urban landscape, creating spaces that are both iconic and adaptable, ensuring they serve Paris beyond the Games.”（他的方法是重新构想城市景观，创造出既具有标志性又适应性强的空间，确保它们在奥运会之后仍能为巴黎服务）可知，Wilmotte的设计理念是创造既具有标志性又能适应未来需求的空间，确保这些空间在奥运会之后仍然能为巴黎所用。由此可推断，当设计的重点从简单的结构转向需要更高水平概念整合的结构时，如奥运会后可以重新用于社区使用的场馆，深思熟虑的建筑设计的好处就会“显现出来”。因此，“shine through”在此处意为“变得显而易见”。C选项“The benefits become readily apparent(好处显而易见)”符合题意。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The design team has proposed a theory of ‘spatial engagement,’ suggesting that the venues should not only accommodate events but also engage visitors in a dialogue with the city and its culture.”（设计团队提出了“空间互动”理论，认为场馆不仅应容纳活动，还应让游客与城市及其文化进行对话）可知，“spatial engagement”理论假设场馆应该以有意义的方式吸引游客，让他们与城市及其文化进行互动。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“While the allure of new technology is undeniable, and many are tempted to rely solely on digital renderings and simulations, the tangible experience of the spaces cannot be replicated. Architects have found that when people physically engage with a space, they form a deeper connection and memory of the event.”（虽然新技术的吸引力是不可否认的，许多人很想完全依赖数字渲染和模拟，但空间的实体体验是无法复制的。建筑师们发现，当人们实际上与空间互动时，他们会形成对事件的更深刻的联系和记忆）可知，新技术在建筑设计中的吸引力在于它能够提供独特的、无法被复制的实际体验，这种体验有助于人们形成对事件的更深刻的联系和记忆。由此可推断，科技工具在设计过程中越来越多地被使用，是因为它们有助于开发出更先进的建筑解决方案，提供这种独特的实际体验。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, for creating an environment where the spirit of the Games is fully realized and the legacy is meaningful, the design team must not assume that all design approaches are equivalent, even when they aim to achieve the same objectives.”（然而，为了创造一个能够充分体现奥运会精神并留下有意义遗产的环境，设计团队不能假设所有的设计方法都是等同的，即使它们的目标是实现相同的目标）可知，作者在最后一段暗示，为了创造一个能够充分体现奥运会精神并留下有意义遗产的环境，设计团队应该考虑多种设计方法，而不是仅仅假设所有的方法都是等同的。故选A项。 D In the quest to understand and compare the educational paradigms shaping the minds of future generations, researchers have delved into the intricate dynamics of Chinese and Western pedagogical approaches. Today, the discourse on education systems is often framed by ideological debates and cultural perspectives. Yet, a new comprehensive study aims to dissect these systems beyond surface-level observations, exploring the underlying philosophies and their impact on students. “With the proliferation of educational theories, it is crucial for us to examine the core principles that drive different educational systems,” said Dr. Li Wei, lead author of the study and a professor of comparative education at the University of Beijing. “These systems now influence the lives of millions of students worldwide, and as we increasingly rely on them to shape the minds of our youth, I wanted to know: How do they compare?” Using a diverse set of educational case studies and outcomes from various countries, Dr. Li and her team scrutinized the effectiveness and philosophical underpinnings of Chinese and Western education systems. “We were particularly interested in identifying the factors that contribute to the distinct characteristics of each system, such as the emphasis on rote learning in some cultures versus the focus on critical thinking in others,” said Dr. Li. Their study revealed that the educational outcomes are not solely determined by the amount of content covered but also by the pedagogical approach. Moreover, these systems are biased towards certain types of learners and intellectual development. This is expected since the educational systems are often a reflection of the cultural values and societal expectations of the regions they serve. What can we learn from the comparative analysis of these educational systems? “A great deal,” Dr. Li explained. “Educational policymakers can use our study to inform the development of curricula that balance the need for knowledge retention with the cultivation of critical thinking skills. To improve the adaptability of educational systems, we can also encourage the incorporation of diverse teaching methods that cater to a range of learning styles.” 32. What do we know about the current state of educational records and observations? A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly based on theoretical models. C. They are limited in scope. D. They are used for comparative analysis. 33. What does Dr. Li’s study focus on? A. Teaching methodologies. B. Educational infrastructure. C. Observational data. D. Student performance metrics. 34. What has led to the differences between the Chinese and Western education systems according to the study? A. Cultural and historical factors. B. Technological advancements. C. Economic disparities. D. Government policies. 35. What is Dr. Li’s suggestion for improving educational systems? A. Integrate more technology into classrooms. B. Standardize curriculums across different regions. C. Provide guidance to educators on diverse teaching methods. D. Focus on a single pedagogical approach for all subjects. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。探讨了中西方教育模式的异同，以及它们对学生的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These systems now influence the lives of millions of students worldwide, and as we increasingly rely on them to shape the minds of our youth, I wanted to know: How do they compare?”（“这些系统现在影响着全世界数百万学生的生活，随着我们越来越依赖它们来塑造年轻人的思想，我想知道：它们相比之下如何？”）可知，教育系统现在影响着全世界数百万学生的生活，这限制了教育记录和观察的范围。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Using a diverse set of educational case studies and outcomes from various countries, Dr. Li and her team scrutinized the effectiveness and philosophical underpinnings of Chinese and Western education systems.”（李和她的团队使用了来自不同国家的一系列不同的教育案例研究和成果，仔细研究了中国和西方教育体系的有效性和哲学基础。） 可知，李博士的研究专注于教学方法的有效性和哲学基础。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Their study revealed that the educational outcomes are not solely determined by the amount of content covered but also by the pedagogical approach. Moreover, these systems are biased towards certain types of learners and intellectual development. This is expected since the educational systems are often a reflection of the cultural values and societal expectations of the regions they serve.”（他们的研究表明，教育成果不仅取决于所涵盖内容的数量，还取决于教学方法。此外，这些系统偏向于某些类型的学习者和智力发展。这是预料之中的，因为教育制度往往反映了其所服务地区的文化价值和社会期望。） 可知，教育成果不仅由涵盖的内容量决定，还由教学方法决定，这表明中西方教育系统的差异部分是由文化和历史因素造成的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To improve the adaptability of educational systems, we can also encourage the incorporation of diverse teaching methods that cater to a range of learning styles.”（为了提高教育系统的适应性，我们还可以鼓励采用多样化的教学方法，以适应不同的学习风格。） 可知，李博士建议为教育工作者提供不同教学方法的指导。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time is a valuable resource, especially for those who need to deal with academic demands, personal growth, and social activities at the same time.

It was leftover aluminum foil (锡纸) from a package my mum had opened. I picked it up and was immediately attracted by its sparkling appearance. Curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but ask my dad about it. “Dad, what is this paper called? It’s so shiny and beautiful!” I inquired, holding the aluminum foil up for him to see. My dad chuckled and replied, “That’s called aluminum foil, and it has many uses.” Naturally, my curiosity was piqued (激发), and I eagerly asked, “What can it be used for?” My dad smiled and said, “Why don’t you research it yourself? It’ll-be a great opportunity for you to learn something new.” With a sense of excitement, I grabbed my phone and started researching on the Internet. I found out that it is a type of metal paper called aluminum foil, which is moisture-proof (防潮的). As I looked through the information, an idea popped into my head. What if I put some water in a small aluminum foil container and heated it in the microwave? Would the water boil? Unable to resist-the urge to experiment, I cut a piece of aluminum foil and folded it into a small square container. I added some water into the container and placed it in the microwave. With my eyes wide open, I anxiously watched the aluminum foil container, filled with anticipation. But before I could see any changes in the water, suddenly a burst of fire erupted from the microwave, surprising me. I quickly rushed to unplug the appliance and collapsed onto the floor, feeling a great 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。 My dad, hearing the sound, hurried over and asked, “What happened?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on my dad’s instructive words, I began cleaning the mess. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My dad, hearing the sound, hurried over and asked, “What happened?” I explained the situation, fleeing embarrassed and frightened by the unexpected outcome. My dad comforted me and explained patiently, “Metal should never be put in the microwave. It can cause a fire risk. Scientific experiments are serious and cannot be conducted blindly. Therefore, be careful with the way you do something and you’ll be closer to your goal.” I listened to my dad’s words and felt a sense of relief, knowing that no one was hurt. Reflecting on my dad’s instructive words, I began cleaning the mess. I began cleaning the mess. With gloves on, I picked up the black bits of tin foil and glass pieces across the kitchen floor and wiped away water stains from the stove top. The cleaning process felt like penning a reflective learning summary. I understood knowledge without caution is a double-edged sword and that science experiments require precision and careful planning. I promise to approach future experiments mindfully, seeking guidance and aware of potential consequences. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在后院发现一张锡纸，问爸爸这张纸的用途，爸爸告诉作者这是铝箔，并鼓励他自己去研究。作者于是决定把一些水放在一个小铝箔容器里，然后用微波炉加热，结果导致着火。爸爸安慰作者，并告诉他科学实验需要谨慎和计划，作者决心以后要更加小心谨慎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸听到声音，急忙跑过去问：“发生什么事了？””可知，第一段可描写作者解释事情发生的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我一边回想着爸爸的教导，一边开始收拾残局。”可知，第二段可描写作者收拾残局的过程，并反思自己以后一定在做实验时要更加谨慎。 2.续写线索：爸爸跑过去询问——作者解释了事情原因——爸爸教育作者——作者收拾残局——反思，认识到科学实验要谨慎 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comforted/reassured ②进行，实施：conducted/ carried out ③寻求：seek/ look for 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/ awkward ②害怕的：frightened/ scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] Therefore, be careful with the way you do something and you’ll be closer to your goal（运用了祈使句） [高分句型2] I understood knowledge without caution is a double-edged sword and that science experiments require precision and careful planning（由省略that引导的宾语从句以及未省略that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3] I promise to approach future experiments mindfully, seeking guidance and aware of potential consequences.（现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
