B I’ve always been really passionate about science and how things work. Then, slowly, as I grew up, that curiosity started to develop into something more. Growing up in Ethiopia, I always thought people were always getting hit by the hot sun working outside. I didn’t think much of it when I was really little, but as I grew up, I realized how big of an issue skin cancer really was. Not only in Ethiopia but everywhere around the world. And when people do end up getting skin cancer, it’s crazily expensive to treat and not affordable in the slightest. Skin cancer does have cures and skin cancer is treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally is almost $40,000. When I heard those really shocking statistics, it really inspired me to create a more affordable and accessible solution. I started doing experiments and working on different things, and then that turned into my bar of soap as a project. A lot of my research and development started in my family’s kitchen and in my basement. Of course, I wasn’t doing any serious microparticle generation or anything like that-I was just going through the soap-making process. All it really requires is an emulsifier (乳化剂)，some bases and a couple of chemicals. So I was able to do that all relatively safely and efficiently just from my house. But as I became a finalist at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, I realized that I did need to do a little bit more outside of just my house. So I reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and I got a lot of assistance. The Number One person who helped me would be Deborah Isabelle, my 3M designated mentor (导师).She helped organize and structure my thoughts and she had so much experience in the field of R&D. I definitely couldn’t have done this all by myself. 24. What inspired the author to start his soap project? A. His curiosity about chemistry. B. The high cost of skin cancer treatment. C. His suffering from skin cancer. D. The working conditions in the US. 25. What can be inferred about the author’s basement products? A. They sold pretty well. B. They were labor-intensive. C. They posed health risks. D. They were not fully developed. 26. Why did the author reach out to other people as a finalist? A. To learn how to make soap. B. To find a place to experiment. C. To get professional assistance. D. To share his knowledge in soap-making. 27. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. An interview. B. A book review. C. An advertisement. D. A science fiction. C Let’s face it: we are influenced by AI algorithms (算法) when surfing the Internet on a daily basis. If you think about it, almost anything you can possibly click on over the Internet wants to influence you in some way. Even if it’s not an advertisement and the goal isn’t literally to sell you a product or service, it wants to influence you somehow, whether it’s getting you to think something, feel something, or do something. Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest. Generally speaking, the goal of these platforms is to keep users on them as often as possible for as long as possible and this increases the likelihood of those users clicking on targeted ads. These platforms use the users’ data to serve the content most likely to arouse their emotions and keep them engaged. The kind of content that’s effective at keeping people engaged often happens to be emotionally charged: sensational (轰动的), controversial, or misinformative. Unfortunately, due to its massive computing power, AI is very good at understanding your psychology (often better than you do) and, therefore, using content that is most likely to “push your buttons”. Obviously AI itself has no emotions. It doesn’t “want” to influence you or to have power over you, but it does simply because, in the context of the Internet, that’s what it’s been programmed to do. The people who use AI as their tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of any platform or company, which is to be profitable. In a previous post, I wrote about being data literate. Well, the first step towards protecting yourself against AI’s influence is to be conscious of the fact that we live in an attention economy in which much of the business occurs between companies that want your attention and the content platforms that provide it to them. 28. What message does the author try to convey about social media in paragraph 3? A. It is developing rapidly. B. It is trying to control us. C. It enjoys great popularity. D. It offers us a variety of choices. 29. What kind of content do the social media platforms favour most? A. The content that causes emotional reactions. B. The content that creates value for users. C. The content that spreads positive energy. D. The content that makes users feel satisfied. 30. Which of the following may be to blame according to the author? A. AI algorithms. B. Content creators. C. Social media users. D. Social media platforms. 31. What will the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows? A. How social media platforms work. B. How AI algorithms are influencing us. C Some measures to protect ourselves. D. Some negative effects of AI algorithms. D During her work with grey squirrels, Lucia Jacobs wrote an article to the journal Natural History, describing how squirrels cache (贮藏): The squirrels performed perfectly from the first day. I was absorbed as I observed one of these tiny squirrels pick up a hazelnut for the first time, search intently for a suitable burying site, and then, with great interest, dig a hole, both paws flying, the nut firmly clenched between tiny teeth, with all the apparent confidence and success of a park squirrel burying its millionth peanut. Caching is a very important aspect of squirrel life. Caches fall broadly into two categories: you can put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak, which we call larder caching; or you can scatter your valuables all over the place, which is scatter caching. Larder caching is less effort because everything is in one place and you can easily see how much you have left. The problem, however, is that if your cache is discovered by someone else, they can take everything and leave you with nothing. Scatter caching makes it less likely that you’d lose everything, but requires more effort to find suitable spots, dig all those holes and, more importantly, remember where you’ve put everything. Have you ever been doing the spring cleaning and found a Christmas present you’d hidden for one of the kids? Red and grey squirrels scatter caches and, given that a grey squirrel may cache some 3,000 nuts during a season, remembering where they all are when they’re spread throughout the woodland is no mean feat. Some early work suggested that squirrels may not be too bothered about where they cached because their neighbours were family members and they therefore shared each other’s caches. This is the so-called “Commual Cache Theory”. More recently, however, Lucia Jacobs investigated this and found that neighbours weren’t necessarily relatives and that squirrels moved nuts toward the center of their territories, grouped their caches, buried nuts further from their source when competitors were around and aggressively defended caches from would-be thieves. In other words, it was every squirrel for itself. 32. What impressed Jacobs most while observing tiny squirrels? A. Their natural ability to cache. B. Their strange eating behavior. C. Their huge amounts of caches. D. Their way of selecting caches. 33. Which is considered a disadvantage of “scatter caching”? A. The caches won’t last long enough. B. It takes much effort to dig a bigger spot. C. Some of the spots are nowhere to be found. D. The caches are easily found by competitors. 34. What does the underlined part “no mean feat” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A rare occurence. B. A great achievement. C. A serious problem. D. A common phenomenon. 35. What is Jacobs’s attitude to the “Communal Cache Theory“? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uninterested. D. Disapproving. 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。 Nearsightedness is a common vision condition in which close objects look clear but far objects look blurry (模糊的).____36____ Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract. Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. ____37____. A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB (中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults. ____38____. Most screens are high contrast-like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth in children. Most people’s vision will stabilize in their teens, but some people develop myopia later in life, typically between ages 20 and 40. ____39____. People with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. That’s why regular eye examinations are important. ____40____, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, choosing nonglare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks. A. Blurry vision isn’t the only problem. B. There is a sharp increase in nearsightedness. C. The medical term for nearsightedness is myopia. D. Natural light is essential for healthy eye development. E. That said, our increased use of screens is still a problem. F. Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia·rates. G. You can also prevent eye issues by making a few simple lifestyle changes. 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。 Mason Branstrator has always been an athlete, but three years ago, an accident happened to him.

Every summer, they would pack up their car with tents, sleeping bags, and all the necessary supplies for a week-long adventure in the great outdoors. One summer, as they were setting up camp, Lily noticed a small, furry creature running around the campsite. It was a chipmunk (花栗鼠), and Lily was immediately attracted by it. She named the chipmunk Charlie and decided to make it her mission to befriend him. Over the next few days, Lily carefully left out small pieces of food for Charlie-pieces of bread, apple slices, and even a few nuts. At first, Charlie was cautious, staying at a distance and watching her from the safety of the underbrush. But Lily was patient. Slowly, day by day, Charlie grew more comfortable with her. By the fourth day, he was eating right out of her hand. Lily couldn’t believe how special it felt to gain the trust of a wild animal. It was as if she had been accepted into a secret world of nature. But one evening, as her family sat around the campfire, Lily realized something was wrong. Charlie didn’t show up for his usual evening visit. She looked around the campsite and called out his name softly, but there was no sign of the little chipmunk. Worry filled her heart. Had something happened to him? She asked her parents if they had seen him, but they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Despite her parents’ warnings to stay close to the campsite, Lily felt a strong urge to find Charlie. She grabbed a flashlight and, with a deep breath, walked secretly into the dark woods. The moon was just almost unnoticeable in the sky, and the trees cast long shadows around her. The night was alive with the sounds of crickets and rustling (沙沙响) leaves, but all Lily could think about was Charlie. She called out his name, her voice trembling slightly, as she moved deeper into the forest. She looked around for some time but Charlie was nowhere to be found. 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。 Just when she was about to turn back, Lily heard a weak voice from the bush. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lily came back to the campsite with Charlie safe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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?

(你也可以选择是否要支付额外的优先交付，这意味着你的订单应该直接到你这里，在你之前没有其他订单发货，尽快。)”可知，额外付费选择priority delivery (优先派送)，你的订单会以最快的速度送达。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Subscribe to Uber One部分中“For $ 9.99 per month, Uber One subscribers enjoy a $0 Delivery Fee and up to 10% off orders over $15 at participating non-grocery stores (and 5% off orders over $35 at participating grocery stores) available on Uber Eats. (每月支付9.99美元，Uber One的用户就可以享受0美元的送货费，在Uber Eats上订购超过15美元的非杂货店可享受高达10%的折扣（在参与的杂货店订购超过35美元可享受5%的折扣)。”可知，如果你订阅Uber One，你不但可以享受零配送费服务，而且在Uber Eats上超过15美元的非杂货店订单可享受高达10％的折扣，超过35美元的杂货店订单可享受5％的折扣，故40美元的杂货店订单只需支付40×（1-5%）=38美元，故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Order household needs from your favorite drug stores, supermarkets, and pet shops. (从你最喜欢的药店、超市和宠物店订购家庭用品。)”可知，Uber Eats这一手机App目前覆盖全世界数百个城市，其主要功能是订餐，但也可以订购药物、杂货等其他商品；它推出的Uber One为增值服务，每月付9.99美元订阅后才享受免费配送服务。故选C。 B I’ve always been really passionate about science and how things work. Then, slowly, as I grew up, that curiosity started to develop into something more. Growing up in Ethiopia, I always thought people were always getting hit by the hot sun working outside. I didn’t think much of it when I was really little, but as I grew up, I realized how big of an issue skin cancer really was. Not only in Ethiopia but everywhere around the world. And when people do end up getting skin cancer, it’s crazily expensive to treat and not affordable in the slightest. Skin cancer does have cures and skin cancer is treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally is almost $40,000. When I heard those really shocking statistics, it really inspired me to create a more affordable and accessible solution. I started doing experiments and working on different things, and then that turned into my bar of soap as a project. A lot of my research and development started in my family’s kitchen and in my basement. Of course, I wasn’t doing any serious microparticle generation or anything like that-I was just going through the soap-making process. All it really requires is an emulsifier (乳化剂)，some bases and a couple of chemicals. So I was able to do that all relatively safely and efficiently just from my house. But as I became a finalist at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, I realized that I did need to do a little bit more outside of just my house. So I reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and I got a lot of assistance. The Number One person who helped me would be Deborah Isabelle, my 3M designated mentor (导师).She helped organize and structure my thoughts and she had so much experience in the field of R&D. I definitely couldn’t have done this all by myself. 24. What inspired the author to start his soap project? A. His curiosity about chemistry. B. The high cost of skin cancer treatment. C. His suffering from skin cancer. D. The working conditions in the US. 25. What can be inferred about the author’s basement products? A. They sold pretty well. B. They were labor-intensive. C. They posed health risks. D. They were not fully developed. 26. Why did the author reach out to other people as a finalist? A. To learn how to make soap. B. To find a place to experiment. C. To get professional assistance. D. To share his knowledge in soap-making. 27. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. An interview. B. A book review. C. An advertisement. D. A science fiction. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从小就热爱科学，随着长大逐渐意识到皮肤癌这一问题的严重性，因高昂的皮肤癌治疗费而受到启发，通过自己的努力和外界的帮助，研发更实惠的治疗皮肤癌的肥皂。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And when people do end up getting skin cancer, it's crazily expensive to treat and not affordable in the slightest. Skin cancer does have cures and skin cancer is treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally is almost $40,000. When I heard those really shocking statistics, it really inspired me to create a more affordable and accessible solution. I started doing experiments and working on different things, and then that turned into my bar of soap as a project.(当人们真的患上皮肤癌时，治疗费用高得惊人，而且一点也不便宜。皮肤癌确实有治疗方法，在大多数情况下，皮肤癌是可以治疗的。然而，全球皮肤癌治疗的平均价格几乎为4万美元。当我听到这些令人震惊的统计数字时，它真的激发了我创造一种更实惠、更易获得的治疗方法的灵感。我开始做各种实验，研究不同的东西，然后这变成了我的肥皂项目)”可知，是皮肤癌的高昂治疗费用激发了作者开始他的肥皂项目。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of my research and development started in my family’s kitchen and in my basement. Of course, I wasn’t doing any serious microparticle generation or anything like that-I was just going through the soap-making process.(我的很多研究和开发都是在我家的厨房和地下室开始的。当然，我没有做任何严肃的微粒生成或类似的事情——我只是经历了肥皂的制作过程)”可知，作者在地下室只是经历了肥皂的制作过程，还没有研发出产品，所以可推知，作者地下室的产品还没有完全开发出来。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But as I became a finalist at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, I realized that I did need to do a little bit more outside of just my house. So I reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and I got a lot of assistance.(但是，当我成为3M青年科学家挑战赛决赛选手时，我意识到，除了在家里，我确实需要做一些额外的事情。所以我联系了弗吉尼亚大学和乔治城大学的人，并得到了很多帮助)”可知，作者作为决赛选手联系其他人是为了得到专业的帮助。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I’ve always been really passionate about science and how things work. Then, slowly, as I grew up, that curiosity started to develop into something more...but as I grew up, I realized how big of an issue skin cancer really was. Not only in Ethiopia but everywhere around the world.(我一直对科学和事物的运作方式充满热情。然后，随着我慢慢长大，这种好奇心开始发展成更多的东西……但随着我长大，我意识到皮肤癌是一个多么严重的问题。不仅在埃塞俄比亚，在世界各地都是如此。)”、第二段的“However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally is almost $40,000. When I heard those really shocking statistics, it really inspired me to create a more affordable and accessible solution. I started doing experiments and working on different things, and then that turned into my bar of soap as a project.(然而，全球皮肤癌治疗的平均价格几乎是4万美元。当我听到这些令人震惊的统计数据时，它真的激发了我去创造一个更实惠、更容易获得的解决方案。我开始做实验，研究不同的东西，然后把它变成了我的肥皂项目。)”以及下文内容可知，文章用第一人称详细叙述了个人经历：从对科学的热爱到因为皮肤癌的治疗费用高昂而开始研究并制作肥皂的过程，以及在研究过程中得到的帮助。由此可推测，这篇文章最有可能摘自一次采访。故选A项。 C Let’s face it: we are influenced by AI algorithms (算法) when surfing the Internet on a daily basis. If you think about it, almost anything you can possibly click on over the Internet wants to influence you in some way. Even if it’s not an advertisement and the goal isn’t literally to sell you a product or service, it wants to influence you somehow, whether it’s getting you to think something, feel something, or do something. Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest. Generally speaking, the goal of these platforms is to keep users on them as often as possible for as long as possible and this increases the likelihood of those users clicking on targeted ads. These platforms use the users’ data to serve the content most likely to arouse their emotions and keep them engaged. The kind of content that’s effective at keeping people engaged often happens to be emotionally charged: sensational (轰动的), controversial, or misinformative. Unfortunately, due to its massive computing power, AI is very good at understanding your psychology (often better than you do) and, therefore, using content that is most likely to “push your buttons”. Obviously, AI itself has no emotions. It doesn’t “want” to influence you or to have power over you, but it does simply because, in the context of the Internet, that’s what it’s been programmed to do. The people who use AI as their tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of any platform or company, which is to be profitable. In a previous post, I wrote about being data literate. Well, the first step towards protecting yourself against AI’s influence is to be conscious of the fact that we live in an attention economy in which much of the business occurs between companies that want your attention and the content platforms that provide it to them. 28. What message does the author try to convey about social media in paragraph 3? A. It is developing rapidly. B. It is trying to control us. C. It enjoys great popularity. D. It offers us a variety of choices. 29. What kind of content do the social media platforms favour most? A. The content that causes emotional reactions. B. The content that creates value for users. C. The content that spreads positive energy. D. The content that makes users feel satisfied. 30. Which of the following may be to blame according to the author? A. AI algorithms. B. Content creators. C. Social media users. D. Social media platforms. 31. What will the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows? A. How social media platforms work. B. How AI algorithms are influencing us. C. Some measures to protect ourselves. D. Some negative effects of AI algorithms. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了我们必须面对这样一个事实：各大社交媒体平台正在利用人工智能算法来影响和控制我们，表面看它们是在吸引我们的注意力，其背后的真实目的自然是利益。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest. Generally speaking, the goal of these platforms is to keep users on them as often as possible for as long as possible and this increases the likelihood of those users clicking on targeted ads.(在每个博主、YouTube名人和社交媒体影响者的背后，都有拥有这些博主和影响者使用的平台的公司：YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等。一般来说，这些平台的目标是让用户尽可能频繁地使用它们，从而增加这些用户点击目标广告的可能性)”可知，本段作者列举YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等这些社交媒体平台为例，主要说明它们在吸引我们的注意力，最终目的是增加我们点击广告的概率。由此可知，作者在本段想要传达的信息是社交媒体正试图控制我们。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The kind of content that’s effective at keeping people engaged often happens to be emotionally charged: sensational (轰动的), controversial，or misinformative.(那些能有效吸引人们的内容往往是充满情感的：轰动的、有争议的或错误的信息)”可知，社交媒体上最能有效吸引用户的内容是那些轰动的、有争议的或错误的信息，这些内容有一个共同点，那就是能激发或煽动网友们的各种情绪反应，故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Obviously, AI itself has no emotions. It doesn’t “want” to influence you or to have power over you, but it does simply because, in the context of the Internet, that’s what it’s been programmed to do. The people who use AI as their tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of any platform or company, which is to be profitable.(显然，人工智能本身没有情感。它并不“想要”影响你或对你有权力，但它这样做只是因为，在互联网的背景下，这就是它被编程的目的。使用人工智能作为工具的人只是试图实现任何平台或公司的目标，即盈利)”可知，作者认为，人工智能本身没有情感，也无意影响我们或者调动我们的情绪，真正试图操控和影响我们的是社交媒体平台以及背后的公司，且第三段中“Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest.(在每个博主、YouTube名人和社交媒体影响者的背后，都有拥有这些博主和影响者使用的平台的公司：YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等)”也指出，社交媒体平台的上的内容生产者也是被平台操控的。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段中“Well, the first step towards protecting yourself against AI’s influence is to be conscious of the fact that we live in an attention economy in which much of the business occurs between companies that want your attention and the content platforms that provide it to them.(保护自己不受人工智能影响的第一步是要意识到这样一个事实，即我们生活在一个注意力经济中，在这个经济中，许多业务发生在想要你关注的公司和为他们提供关注的内容平台之间)”谈到如何保护自己不受人工智能影响。由此可推知，作者接下来可能会继续就如何进行自我保护给我们提出更多的建议和措施。故选C。 D During her work with grey squirrels, Lucia Jacobs wrote an article to the journal Natural History, describing how squirrels cache (贮藏): The squirrels performed perfectly from the first day. I was absorbed as I observed one of these tiny squirrels pick up a hazelnut for the first time, search intently for a suitable burying site, and then, with great interest, dig a hole, both paws flying, the nut firmly clenched between tiny teeth, with all the apparent confidence and success of a park squirrel burying its millionth peanut. Caching is a very important aspect of squirrel life. Caches fall broadly into two categories: you can put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak, which we call larder caching; or you can scatter your valuables all over the place, which is scatter caching. Larder caching is less effort because everything is in one place and you can easily see how much you have left. The problem, however, is that if your cache is discovered by someone else, they can take everything and leave you with nothing. Scatter caching makes it less likely that you’d lose everything, but requires more effort to find suitable spots, dig all those holes and, more importantly, remember where you’ve put everything. Have you ever been doing the spring cleaning and found a Christmas present you’d hidden for one of the kids? Red and grey squirrels scatter caches and, given that a grey squirrel may cache some 3,000 nuts during a season, remembering where they all are when they’re spread throughout the woodland is no mean feat. Some early work suggested that squirrels may not be too bothered about where they cached because their neighbours were family members and they therefore shared each other’s caches. This is the so-called “Commual Cache Theory”. More recently, however, Lucia Jacobs investigated this and found that neighbours weren’t necessarily relatives and that squirrels moved nuts toward the center of their territories, grouped their caches, buried nuts further from their source when competitors were around and aggressively defended caches from would-be thieves. In other words, it was every squirrel for itself. 32. What impressed Jacobs most while observing tiny squirrels? A. Their natural ability to cache. B. Their strange eating behavior. C. Their huge amounts of caches. D. Their way of selecting caches. 33. Which is considered a disadvantage of “scatter caching”? A. The caches won’t last long enough. B. It takes much effort to dig a bigger spot. C Some of the spots are nowhere to be found. D. The caches are easily found by competitors. 34. What does the underlined part “no mean feat” in paragraph 4 mean? A. A rare occurence. B. A great achievement. C. A serious problem. D. A common phenomenon. 35. What is Jacobs’s attitude to the “Communal Cache Theory“? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uninterested. D. Disapproving. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国加州大学教授Lucia Jacobs多年来致力于对北美松鼠种群的行为研究，有了很多有趣的发现。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The squirrels performed perfectly from the first day. I was absorbed as I observed one of these tiny squirrels pick up a hazelnut for the first time, search intently for a suitable burying site, and then, with great interest, dig a hole, both paws flying, the nut firmly clenched between tiny teeth, with all the apparent confidence and success of a park squirrel burying its millionth peanut. (松鼠们从第一天起就表现得很好。我全神贯注地看着其中一只小松鼠第一次捡起一颗榛子，专心地寻找合适的埋葬地点，然后饶有兴趣地挖了一个洞，两只爪子飞舞着，小牙齿紧紧地咬着榛子，看起来就像公园里的松鼠成功地埋葬了第一百万颗花生一样自信。)”可知，Jacobs注意到，小松鼠从一开始就对储藏食物的过程和动作非常熟练，其信心和成功率完全可以与公园里经验丰富的老松鼠相媲美，这一点（与生俱来的贮藏食物的本领）让Jacobs印象深刻。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scatter caching makes it less likely that you’d lose everything, but requires more effort to find suitable spots, dig all those holes and, more importantly, remember where you’ve put everything. (分散贮藏减少了丢失所有东西的可能性，但需要花费更多的精力来寻找合适的位置，挖掘所有的洞，更重要的是，记住您将所有东西放在哪里。)”可知，分散贮藏这种做法最大的缺点就是：一段时间后松鼠很可能会忘记了它们部分的贮藏地点。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Red and grey squirrels scatter caches and, given that a grey squirrel may cache some 3,000 nuts during a season, remembering where they all are when they’re spread throughout the woodland is (红松鼠和灰松鼠会分散贮藏物，考虑到灰松鼠在一个季节可能会贮藏大约3000颗坚果，当它们散布在整个林地时，记住它们的位置)”可知，灰松鼠在一个季节可能会贮藏大约3000颗坚果，当它们散布在整个林地时，记住它们的位置是绝非易事，是了不起的成就，no mean feat意为“了不起的成就”。A. A rare occurence罕见的事情；B. A great achievement伟大的成就；C. A serious problem一个严重的问题；D. A common phenomenon一个普遍现象。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“More recently, however, Lucia Jacobs investigated this and found that neighbours weren’t necessarily relatives and that squirrels moved nuts toward the center of their territories, grouped their caches, buried nuts further from their source when competitors were around and aggressively defended caches from would-be thieves. In other words, it was every squirrel for itself. (然而，最近，Lucia Jacobs对此进行了调查，发现邻居不一定是亲戚，松鼠把坚果搬到它们领地的中心，把它们的储藏物分组，当竞争者在附近时，把坚果埋在离它们的来源更远的地方，并积极地保护储藏物不被潜在的小偷偷走。换句话说，它是一只自顾自的松鼠。)”可推断，Lucia Jacobs经过自己的细心研究，否定了松鼠贮藏食物的“Communal Cache Theory (家族共享)”理论。故选D。 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。 Nearsightedness is a common vision condition in which close objects look clear but far objects look blurry (模糊的).____36____ Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract. Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. ____37____. A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB (中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults. ____38____. Most screens are high contrast-like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth in children. Most people’s vision will stabilize in their teens, but some people develop myopia later in life, typically between ages 20 and 40. ____39____. People with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. That’s why regular eye examinations are important. ____40____, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, choosing nonglare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks. A. Blurry vision isn’t the only problem. B. There is a sharp increase in nearsightedness. C. The medical term for nearsightedness is myopia. D. Natural light is essential for healthy eye development. E. That said, our increased use of screens is still a problem. F. Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia·rates. G. You can also prevent eye issues by making a few simple lifestyle changes. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. E 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，近视现象在我们生活中非常普遍，可是，导致近视的真正原因是什么呢？ 【36题详解】 第一段主要介绍什么是“近视”，又根据该空后一句“Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract.(当眼睛的形状或眼睛某些部位的形状导致光线弯曲或折射时，就会发生近视)”可知，C项“近视的医学术语是myopia”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 该空后面一句“A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a link between increased UVB (中波紫外线) exposure and a decrease in myopia, particularly in children and young adults.(2017年发表在《美国医学会眼科学》上的一项研究发现，中波紫外线暴露增加与近视减少之间存在联系，尤其是在儿童和年轻人中)”指出，接触中波紫外线会降低近视发生的概率，这正好说明D项“自然光对眼睛的健康发育至关重要”，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据后文“some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth in children.(一些科学家认为，在黑暗的房间里看书或看明亮的屏幕的对比可能会过度刺激我们的视网膜，导致儿童的眼睛生长更快)”可知，本段主要说明文电子屏幕对我们视力的负面影响，因此E项“话虽如此，我们电子屏幕使用率的增加仍然是一个问题”符合语境，可以作为本段主旨，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据该空后“People with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration.(随着年龄的增长，近视患者患青光眼、早期白内障和黄斑变性等眼部疾病的风险更高)”可知，近视带来的问题不仅仅是视力模糊这么简单，A项“视力模糊并不是唯一的问题”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 该空后“such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, choosing nonglare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks(比如确保你在良好的光线下阅读或工作，为你的电脑或电视选择小屏幕，经常休息)”列举了一些保护视力的具体方法，这显然是对G项“你也可以通过一些简单的生活方式改变来预防眼睛问题”的进一步补充说明，故选G。 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。 Mason Branstrator has always been an athlete, but three years ago, an accident happened to him.

Every summer, they would pack up their car with tents, sleeping bags, and all the necessary supplies for a week-long adventure in the great outdoors. One summer, as they were setting up camp, Lily noticed a small, furry creature running around the campsite. It was a chipmunk (花栗鼠), and Lily was immediately attracted by it. She named the chipmunk Charlie and decided to make it her mission to befriend him. Over the next few days, Lily carefully left out small pieces of food for Charlie-pieces of bread, apple slices, and even a few nuts. At first, Charlie was cautious, staying at a distance and watching her from the safety of the underbrush. But Lily was patient. Slowly, day by day, Charlie grew more comfortable with her. By the fourth day, he was eating right out of her hand. Lily couldn’t believe how special it felt to gain the trust of a wild animal. It was as if she had been accepted into a secret world of nature. But one evening, as her family sat around the campfire, Lily realized something was wrong. Charlie didn’t show up for his usual evening visit. She looked around the campsite and called out his name softly, but there was no sign of the little chipmunk. Worry filled her heart. Had something happened to him? She asked her parents if they had seen him, but they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Despite her parents’ warnings to stay close to the campsite, Lily felt a strong urge to find Charlie. She grabbed a flashlight and, with a deep breath, walked secretly into the dark woods. The moon was just almost unnoticeable in the sky, and the trees cast long shadows around her. The night was alive with the sounds of crickets and rustling (沙沙响) leaves, but all Lily could think about was Charlie. She called out his name, her voice trembling slightly, as she moved deeper into the forest. She looked around for some time but Charlie was nowhere to be found. 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。 Just when she was about to turn back, Lily heard a weak voice from the bush. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lily came back to the campsite with Charlie safe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Just when she was about to turn back, Lily heard a weak voice from the bush. Shining her flashlight in that direction, she spotted a tiny and trembling figure — Charlie! But he wasn’t running toward her. He was stuck, his leg caught in a trap that had been carelessly left behind by someone. Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes as she quickly, but gently, freed her little friend. She gently put him into her warm hands, holding him close as she hurried back to the campsite. Lily came back to the campsite with Charlie safe. Her parents were relieved to see Lily and even more amazed to see her cradling Charlie in her arms after looking for her for a while. For the rest of the trip, Charlie became a regular part of their camping routine. Lily and Charlie formed a special bond that Lily would treasure in the future. And Lily knew the memories of their camping trip would stay with her forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一个名叫莉莉的女孩与家人露营时，与一只名为查理的花栗鼠建立友谊。莉莉耐心喂食，最终赢得查理的信任。然而有一天晚上，查理没有出现，莉莉担心不已，不顾父母警告，独自进入森林寻找查理，但未果。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“就在她要转身的时候，莉莉听到灌木丛里传来一个微弱的声音。”可知，第一段可以描写莉莉寻找查理的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“莉莉平安回到了营地，查理也安然无恙。”可知，第二段可以描写莉莉和查理回到营地后的相处的情景和影响。 2.续写线索：听到声音—找到—救出—回来—纽带—永远留在记忆中 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闪耀：shine/flash ②注意到：spot/notice ③颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①眼泪夺眶而出：tears well up in one’s eyes/one’s tears run down ②吃惊的：amazed/surprised 【点睛】【高分句型1】She gently put him into her warm hands, holding him close as she hurried back to the campsite.
