B Data from the World Trade Organization showed that global trade in sporting goods has nearly tripled (三倍) in almost 30 years, and China has become the world’s top exporter of sporting goods. For example, in Jinping county of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, a global production centre for badminton shuttlecocks, more than 100,000 shuttlecocks are sold worldwide a day. In the first three months of this year, the country’s exports of roller skates and skateboards increased by 30.85 percent and 50.21 percent year-on-year, respectively. The inclusion of skateboarding as an Olympic sport has further fueled demand, particularly in countries like Russia and Japan. To boost the pace of “going global,” Chinese sporting goods companies need to rely on greener sporting goods with higher technological content, said Bao Mingxiao, director of the China Sports Policy Research Institute at Beijing Sport University. For example, Dingqi Sports Goods Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of ball bladders (内胆) , including those used in the production of footballs, volleyballs, basketballs and rugby balls. 70 percent of its products are exported overseas. For the Paris Olympics, the company exported products made from 70 percent bio-based materials. Wen Jia, deputy general secretary of the China Sporting Goods Federation, said fierce competition in the domestic market makes enterprises and merchants provide customized products and services to meet customers’ demands. Chinese enterprises are not just exporting sporting goods, but also technology, services, and brands. Yang Lei, general manager of the foreign trade department at Hebei Jadeqi Sports Goods Co Ltd. said “Our overseas strategy aligns with the Belt and Road Initiative. Both aim to offer services and solutions.” 24. Why are so many figures listed in the passage? A. To publicize the Belt and Road Initiative. B. To prove the growth of China’s economy. C. To praise the leadership of the government. D. To show the success in exporting sporting goods. 25. Why is skateboarding popular? A. Skateboards are easy to carry. B. Young people prefer the sport. C. It is included in the Olympic sports. D. Russians and Japanese pushed it forward. 26 Which factor is not mentioned in promoting products? A. Technology. B. Service. C. Salesmen. D. Customization. 27. What do the underlined words “align with” in the last paragraph mean? A. Consist with. B. Compare with. C. End with. D. Compete with. C Whales (巨头鲸) washed up on a beach in Orkney, Scotland. It was the largest mass stranding (搁浅) of whales in Scotland for decades. Scientists don’t know exactly why whales beach themselves. One theory is that climate change is driving whales’ food closer to the shoreline, where they then get stuck as the tide goes out. If a single animal is found, it is usually because it is sick or has been injured. In the Orkney stranding, 12 of the whales were still alive when they became beached. When this happens, some organizations assess whether a whale can be safely refloated. Professionals and members of the community often come together, cover the animal in wet sheets and pour buckets of water over it until the animal drifts back out to the ocean, though it’s not always a happy ending. For those that don’t survive, a post-mortem examination (尸检) is often carried out. Dr Brownlow of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme told the BBC that these can reveal a lot about the whale’s life and the reasons why it was beached. In 2024, a very rare species of whale turned up on a beach in New Zealand -a spade-toothed whale. While this is sad, the body was analyzed in order to help researchers acquire new information about the species. “From a scientific and conservation point of view, this is huge”, Gabe Davies, a Department of Conservation official, said. Some beached whales who don’t survive have their skeletons sent to museums, while many others are returned to the water. This ensures the oceanic environment benefits because whale bodies give off many nutrients. “When they fall and die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, they form these little nutrient-rich islands that can support a huge diversity of life”, says Dr Brownlow. The more research that can be done, the better. For now, we can only do what we can to keep our oceans clean and safe. 28. What was surprising about the Orkney whale stranding? A. The types of the beached whales. B. The value of the beached whales. C. The habitats the beached whales. D. The number of the beached whales. 29. What do we know about the beached whales? A. Some of them can be rescued. B. They prefer the food on the beach. C. Professionals can treat them alone. D. Climate change causes them to rest on the shore. 30. What happened to the body of a spade-toothed whale? A. It was covered by wet sheets. B. It was carried to museums nearby. C. It contributed much to the research. D. It was instantly thrown back into the ocean. 31. Why can whales be good for other ocean life? A. They both live in harmony. B. Nutrients after their death are valuable. C. The island they hide on are full of food. D. Other sea living things feed on their bodies. D A Japanese candy company has produced gummy candy (软糖) that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika. The gummy candy market continued to expand throughout 2023, with fruit-flavored gummies being the most popular. While there are plenty of fruit flavors to choose from, including fruit combinations, companies are still limited to the fruits available in our world. But what if someone broke down barriers and started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the genius idea that Japanese sweets maker Kanro recently came up with. Two months ago, the company launched a new type of gummy candy that tastes like “Kiraspika no Mi”, a made-up fruit with an original flavor, design, and even an origin story. According to the Kanro official website, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous region of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to -50 degrees Celsius in winter. It is very difficult to obtain, as when the fruit ripens, on a full-moon night around the winter solstice, the fruit explodes as a mechanism to spread its seeds. Pieces of the fruit fly at a speed of 300 meters per second, and a direct hit can be fatal. Everything about Kiraspika was invented in Kanro’s fruit lab where its flavor experts combined various existing flavors to create an entirely original one. According to its designers, the Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy has a mysterious sweetness combined with a sliced sourness, but many tasters have their own description. To some, the Kiraspika flavor can be compared to that of an energy drink, others say it tastes a bit like a spicy apple, while some compare its sweetness to that of cherry gummies, combined with a tongue-numbing spiciness. It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal interpretations that make Kanro’s product so popular. Having been launched in September in the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, Kiraspika gummies have been selling out, and the Japanese company is already working on new creations in its Fantasy Fruit Lab. 32. Which can describe the special gummy candy? A. It had no flavor at all. B. It only appeared in the story. C. It had a combined flavor of fruit. D. It tasted like nothing you’ve ever eaten. 33. Why did Kanro post on the official website? A. To sell products online. B. To impress consumers. C. To retell a story. D. To introduce a fruit. 34. What will the Japanese company do next? A. Imagine a story. B. Market its new product. C. Expand its business. D. Explore more fruits. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Japanese gummy candy tastes like a fruit that doesn’t exist. B. Japanese gummy candies are mainly made from various fruits. C. A Japanese company achieves big success in gummy candies. D. A Japanese company constantly comes up with novel ideas. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Why does nature affect our sense of time?

If spending time in nature isn’t possible for you, there are other ways that you can regain control of your time. Start by closely examining how you use time throughout your week. See where time is being wasted and identify action to help you set aside more time in your life. ____40____ This could be limiting when you access emails and social media, or it could be booking in time in your calendar to take a break. A. It makes us better able to deal with demands on our time. B. Besides, try to set yourself some boundaries in how you use time. C. Getting out into nature, for those living in urban areas, can be hard to access. D. Some of them may explain why being in nature changes our experience of time. E. In the long term, time in nature may help to enhance our memory and attention capacity. F. How you use the time can help you overcome the sense that time is running away from you. G. So emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear can distort （扭曲） our sense of the passage of time. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sarah Thomas set a new record by swimming across the English Channel four times.

Daddy bought me a special costume, but it didn’t feel special. How about you give me something different this year? Then I can be a true hero and save lives. I can be a firefighter, you know! Please grant my wish!” After writing the letter, Jase tucked it under his pillow and dozed off. A few days later, when he ran down the stairs, he saw a giant Christmas tree in the living room and a pile of parcels underneath it. “This is for Mom… This one is for Dad… Where’s mine?” “Yay! Gotcha!” he exclaimed as he began unwrapping it. As Jase saw it was a firetruck, he couldn’t contain his excitement. Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter, and all his favorite toys were also related to firefighters! Jase’s family had his twin sisters, Milly and Rosie, his dad, Peter, and his mom, Lydia. They were happy in their cozy tiny home, and every celebration in their household was a sweet affair. Jase was so happy with his Christmas present that year that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. He also gave his little sisters a ride in it, and they loved it. After dinner that night, when everyone was asleep, Jase was up and decided to drive the truck around the house. He had enjoyed it so much that he hadn’t left his truck for even an hour that day! When he couldn’t sleep, he decided to take his truck down to the living room and play with it. Suddenly, Jase felt something strange — a mixture of smoke, heat, and light — and stopped. When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree, its bottom in flames. Jase’s parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the living room curtains on fire. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The fire was spreading fast, and Jase shook with fear. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One of the firefighters patted Jase’s shoulder and said, “Good job!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024—2025学年度第一学期期中学业水平质量监测 高二年级英语试题 （试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man’s advice?

B. Grow more plants. C. Recycle bottles. 19. What does Robert Kurtz usually do for his work? A. He educates students on food waste. B. He talks with food service businesses. C. He picks up waste food from households. 20. How does the company deal with the soil? A. It gives it out for free. B. It uses it on its farms. C. It sells it to clients. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Robert Kurtz is a commercial solutions manager at Rust Belt Riders. The company is based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to fight climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates a harmful gas that fuels climate change. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says the average family in the U.S. spends $1, 500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in. Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food service businesses. He educates them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then he asks if they’re willing to change the way they handle their extra food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2, 800 households to do something different with their food waste. The company’s 7 trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they turn it into soil. The soil is made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants live well. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues at Rust Belt Riders offer a second service: They sell the nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. 第二部分 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 Dream Job: Sleep in a 5-Star Resort (度假酒店) Is your dream job to get paid to sleep?

For example, in Jinping county of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, a global production centre for badminton shuttlecocks, more than 100,000 shuttlecocks are sold worldwide a day. In the first three months of this year, the country’s exports of roller skates and skateboards increased by 30.85 percent and 50.21 percent year-on-year, respectively. The inclusion of skateboarding as an Olympic sport has further fueled demand, particularly in countries like Russia and Japan. To boost the pace of “going global,” Chinese sporting goods companies need to rely on greener sporting goods with higher technological content, said Bao Mingxiao, director of the China Sports Policy Research Institute at Beijing Sport University. For example, Dingqi Sports Goods Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of ball bladders (内胆) , including those used in the production of footballs, volleyballs, basketballs and rugby balls. 70 percent of its products are exported overseas. For the Paris Olympics, the company exported products made from 70 percent bio-based materials. Wen Jia, deputy general secretary of the China Sporting Goods Federation, said fierce competition in the domestic market makes enterprises and merchants provide customized products and services to meet customers’ demands. Chinese enterprises are not just exporting sporting goods, but also technology, services, and brands. Yang Lei, general manager of the foreign trade department at Hebei Jadeqi Sports Goods Co Ltd. said “Our overseas strategy aligns with the Belt and Road Initiative.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了中国在全球体育用品出口市场的领先地位，以及中国企业如何通过技术创新和环保产品来推动出口增长。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Data from the World Trade Organization showed that global trade in sporting goods has nearly tripled （三倍） in almost 30 years, and China has become the world’s top exporter of sporting goods. For example, in Jinping county of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, a global production centre for badminton shuttlecocks, more than 100,000 shuttlecocks are sold worldwide a day.( 世界贸易组织的数据显示，近30年来，全球体育用品贸易增长了近两倍，中国已成为世界上最大的体育用品出口国。例如，在中国西南部贵州省的锦屏县，羽毛球的全球生产中心，每天在全球销售超过10万只羽毛球)”根据第二段“In the first three months of this year, the country’s exports of roller skates and skateboards increased by 30.85 percent and 50.21 percent year-on-year, respectively. The inclusion of skateboarding as an Olympic sport has further fueled demand, particularly in countries like Russia and Japan.(今年前三个月，中国旱冰鞋和滑板的出口分别同比增长30.85%和50.21%。将滑板列为奥运会项目进一步刺激了需求，特别是在俄罗斯和日本等国家。”可知，文章第一段和第二段提到了全球体育用品贸易增长的数据，中国成为世界体育用品出口的领头羊，以及特定产品如羽毛球、轮滑鞋和滑板的出口增长百分比。这些数据是为了展示中国在体育用品出口方面的成功和增长趋势。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“...the inclusion of skateboarding as an Olympic sport has further fueled demand, particularly in countries like Russia and Japan.(滑板运动被纳入奥运会项目，进一步刺激了需求，特别是在俄罗斯和日本等国家)”可知，这句话直接说明了滑板运动因为成为奥运会项目而流行起来。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Wen Jia, deputy general secretary of the China Sporting Goods Federation, said fierce competition in the domestic market makes enterprises and merchants provide customized products and services to meet customers’ demands. Chinese enterprises are not just exporting sporting goods, but also technology, services, and brands.(中国体育用品联合会副秘书长文佳表示，国内市场的激烈竞争使得企业和商家提供定制化产品和服务以满足客户需求。中国企业不仅出口体育用品，还出口技术、服务和品牌)”可知，并未提及销售人员。故选C项。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。文章最后一段中提到“Our overseas strategy aligns with the Belt and Road Initiative. Both aim to offer services and solutions.(公司的海外战略与“一带一路”倡议aligns with，两者都旨在提供服务和解决方案)可知，两者都旨在提供服务和解决方案。所以表明公司的海外战略与“一带一路”倡议相一致。“align with”意思为“与某事物保持一致或协调”。故选A项。 C Whales (巨头鲸) washed up on a beach in Orkney, Scotland. It was the largest mass stranding (搁浅) of whales in Scotland for decades. Scientists don’t know exactly why whales beach themselves. One theory is that climate change is driving whales’ food closer to the shoreline, where they then get stuck as the tide goes out. If a single animal is found, it is usually because it is sick or has been injured. In the Orkney stranding, 12 of the whales were still alive when they became beached. When this happens, some organizations assess whether a whale can be safely refloated. Professionals and members of the community often come together, cover the animal in wet sheets and pour buckets of water over it until the animal drifts back out to the ocean, though it’s not always a happy ending. For those that don’t survive, a post-mortem examination (尸检) is often carried out. Dr Brownlow of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme told the BBC that these can reveal a lot about the whale’s life and the reasons why it was beached. In 2024, a very rare species of whale turned up on a beach in New Zealand -a spade-toothed whale. While this is sad, the body was analyzed in order to help researchers acquire new information about the species. “From a scientific and conservation point of view, this is huge”, Gabe Davies, a Department of Conservation official, said. Some beached whales who don’t survive have their skeletons sent to museums, while many others are returned to the water. This ensures the oceanic environment benefits because whale bodies give off many nutrients. “When they fall and die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, they form these little nutrient-rich islands that can support a huge diversity of life”, says Dr Brownlow. The more research that can be done, the better. For now, we can only do what we can to keep our oceans clean and safe. 28. What was surprising about the Orkney whale stranding? A. The types of the beached whales. B. The value of the beached whales. C. The habitats the beached whales. D. The number of the beached whales. 29. What do we know about the beached whales? A. Some of them can be rescued. B. They prefer the food on the beach. C. Professionals can treat them alone. D. Climate change causes them to rest on the shore. 30. What happened to the body of a spade-toothed whale? A. It was covered by wet sheets. B. It was carried to museums nearby. C. It contributed much to the research. D. It was instantly thrown back into the ocean. 31. Why can whales be good for other ocean life? A. They both live in harmony. B. Nutrients after their death are valuable. C. The island they hide on are full of food. D. Other sea living things feed on their bodies. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了鲸鱼搁浅的现象，以及科学家们对这一现象的理解和处理方式。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the largest mass stranding (搁浅) of whales in Scotland for decades. (这是几十年来苏格兰最大的一次鲸鱼搁浅事件。)”可知，这表明了搁浅事件的数量是出乎意料的。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Orkney stranding, 12 of the whales were still alive when they became beached. When this happens, some organizations assess whether a whale can be safely refloated. Professionals and members of the community often come together, cover the animal in wet sheets and pour buckets of water over it until the animal drifts back out to the ocean, though it’s not always a happy ending. (在奥克尼搁浅事件中，有12头鲸鱼在搁浅时还活着。这样的情况发生后，有些组织会评估是否可以安全地使鲸鱼重新浮起。专业人员和社区成员会一起努力，用湿布盖住这头鲸鱼并不断浇水，直到它漂回大海，尽管结局不总是美好的。)可知，有些搁浅的鲸鱼是可以被救援的。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2024, a very rare species of whale turned up on a beach in New Zealand - a spade-toothed whale. While this is sad, the body was analyzed in order to help researchers acquire new information about the species. (在2024年，新西兰海滩上出现了一种非常罕见的鲸鱼——铲齿鲸。尽管这是一件悲伤的事情，但是研究者们分析了这具尸体，以获取有关该物种的新信息。)可知，这表明这具鲸鱼的尸体对研究具有重要贡献。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When they fall and die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, they form these little nutrient-rich islands that can support a huge diversity of life. (当它们倒下、死去并沉到海底时，会形成这些富含营养的小岛，能够支持生物多样性。) 可知，鲸鱼死后对海洋生态系统有益处。它们死后的营养是有价值的。故选B项。 D A Japanese candy company has produced gummy candy (软糖) that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika. The gummy candy market continued to expand throughout 2023, with fruit-flavored gummies being the most popular. While there are plenty of fruit flavors to choose from, including fruit combinations, companies are still limited to the fruits available in our world. But what if someone broke down barriers and started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the genius idea that Japanese sweets maker Kanro recently came up with. Two months ago, the company launched a new type of gummy candy that tastes like “Kiraspika no Mi”, a made-up fruit with an original flavor, design, and even an origin story. According to the Kanro official website, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous region of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to -50 degrees Celsius in winter. It is very difficult to obtain, as when the fruit ripens, on a full-moon night around the winter solstice, the fruit explodes as a mechanism to spread its seeds. Pieces of the fruit fly at a speed of 300 meters per second, and a direct hit can be fatal. Everything about Kiraspika was invented in Kanro’s fruit lab where its flavor experts combined various existing flavors to create an entirely original one. According to its designers the Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy has a mysterious sweetness combined with a sliced sourness, but many tasters have their own description. To some, the Kiraspika flavor can be compared to that of an energy drink, others say it tastes a bit like a spicy apple, while some compare its sweetness to that of cherry gummies, combined with a tongue-numbing spiciness. It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal interpretations that make Kanro’s product so popular. Having been launched in September in the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, Kiraspika gummies have been selling out, and the Japanese company is already working on new creations in its Fantasy Fruit Lab. 32. Which can describe the special gummy candy? A. It had no flavor at all. B. It only appeared in the story. C. It had a combined flavor of fruit. D. It tasted like nothing you’ve ever eaten. 33. Why did Kanro post on the official website? A. To sell products online. B. To impress consumers. C. To retell a story. D. To introduce a fruit. 34. What will the Japanese company do next? A. Imagine a story. B. Market its new product. C. Expand its business. D. Explore more fruits. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Japanese gummy candy tastes like a fruit that doesn’t exist. B. Japanese gummy candies are mainly made from various fruits. C. A Japanese company achieves big success in gummy candies. D. A Japanese company constantly comes up with novel ideas. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款日本糖果公司推出的名为Kiraspika的“虚构水果”口味的软糖。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But what if someone broke down barriers and started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the genius idea that Japanese sweets maker Kanro recently came up with. Two months ago, the company launched a new type of gummy candy that tastes like “Kiraspika no Mi”, a made-up fruit with an original flavor, design, and even an origin story. (但如果有人打破障碍，开始制作味道像虚构水果的糖果呢？这就是日本糖果制造商Kanro最近想出的绝妙主意。两个月前，该公司推出了一种新型软糖，味道像“Kiraspika no Mi”，它是一种虚构的水果，具有独特的味道、设计和甚至一个起源故事。)”可知，这种特殊的软糖的味道是以前从没有的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to the Kanro official website, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous region of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to -50 degrees Celsius in winter. It is very difficult to obtain, as when the fruit ripens, on a full-moon night around the winter solstice, the fruit explodes as a mechanism to spread its seeds. Pieces of the fruit fly at a speed of 300 meters per second, and a direct hit can be fatal. (根据Kanro官方网站的描述，星形的Kiraspika只生长在Blue Knife的山区，那里的冬季气温会降至零下50摄氏度。它很难获得，因为当果实成熟时，在冬至前后的满月之夜，果实会爆炸以传播其种子。果实的碎片以每秒300米的速度飞行，直接撞击可能是致命的。)”可知，Kanro在官方网站上发布了关于Kiraspika的详细描述，包括其生长地、采摘难度以及独特的爆炸机制等，这样的描述很可能是为了吸引消费者，增加他们对这款虚构水果及其软糖的兴趣。由此推知，Kanro在官方网站上发布信息是为了给消费者留下深刻印象。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Having been launched in September in the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, Kiraspika gummies have been selling out, and the Japanese company is already working on new creations in its Fantasy Fruit Lab. (自9月在7-Eleven连锁便利店推出以来，Kiraspika软糖一直热销，这家日本公司已经在其Fantasy Fruit Lab研究新的产品了。)”可知，这款软糖推出后销售一空，并且日本公司已经在研究新产品了，由此推知，接下来日本公司会将其新产品推向市场。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中“A Japanese candy company has produced gummy candy (软糖) that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika. (一家日本糖果公司生产了一种味道像名为Kiraspika的“虚构水果”的软糖。)”可知，本文主要介绍了日本糖果公司推出的一款与名为Kiraspika的虚构水果口味相似的软糖，A项“A Japanese gummy candy tastes like a fruit that doesn’t exist. (一款日本软糖的味道像一种不存在的水果。)”最能概括文章主旨，是文章最佳标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Why does nature affect our sense of time? Spending time in nature has many benefits for health and wellbeing, such as reduced anxiety and depression, improved sleep and so on. ____36____ The way we experience time is shaped by our internal biological state and the events going on in the world around us. ____37____ Indeed, the absence of access to nature during COVID-19 may help to explain why people’s sense of time became so distorted during the pandemic lockdowns. But the relaxing effect of natural environments may reduce stress and anxiety. In the short term, being away from the demands of modern day life may provide the chance to rearrange life and reduce time pressure by focusing on what actually needs to be done. ____38____ ____39____ Green infrastructure such as trees, woodlands, parks in and around towns and cities are essential to everyone. If spending time in nature isn’t possible for you, there are other ways that you can regain control of your time. Start by closely examining how you use time throughout your week. See where time is being wasted and identify action to help you set aside more time in your life. ____40____ This could be limiting when you access emails and social media, or it could be booking in time in your calendar to take a break. A. It makes us better able to deal with demands on our time. B. Besides, try to set yourself some boundaries in how you use time. C. Getting out into nature, for those living in urban areas, can be hard to access. D. Some of them may explain why being in nature changes our experience of time. E. In the long term, time in nature may help to enhance our memory and attention capacity. F. How you use the time can help you overcome the sense that time is running away from you. G. So emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear can distort （扭曲） our sense of the passage of time. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. E 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了自然对我们感知时间的影响，并提供了一些实用的建议来改善我们对时间的感知和管理。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Spending time in nature has many benefits for health and wellbeing, such as reduced anxiety and depression, improved sleep and so on.( 花时间在大自然中对健康和幸福有很多好处，比如减少焦虑和抑郁，改善睡眠等等)”可知，讲的是花一点时间待在大自然中对健康和幸福有许多益处。而作为第一段的结尾，需要引出下文要讨论的主题，即自然如何改变我们对时间的感知。D选项Some of them may explain why being in nature changes our experience of time.（其中一些可以解释为什么身处大自然会改变我们对时间的体验）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The way we experience time is shaped by our internal biological state and the events going on in the world around us.( 我们体验时间的方式是由我们的内在生物状态和我们周围世界发生的事件决定的)”可知，讲的是我们感知时间的方式如何被影响。下一句“Indeed, the absence of access to nature during COVID-19 may help to explain why people’s sense of time became so distorted during the pandemic lockdowns.( 事实上，在COVID-19期间无法接触大自然可能有助于解释为什么人们的时间观念在大流行封锁期间变得如此扭曲)”说明不接触自然产生的感知扭曲。G选项So emotions such as stress, anxiety and fear can distort our sense of the passage of time. （因此，压力、焦虑和恐惧等情绪会扭曲我们对时间流逝的感觉）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“In the short term, being away from the demands of modern day life may provide the chance to rearrange life and reduce time pressure by focusing on what actually needs to be done.( 从短期来看，远离现代生活的要求可能会提供一个重新安排生活的机会，通过专注于真正需要做的事情来减少时间压力)”可知，本段主要介绍远离城市的喧嚣，走进大自然的好处，此处表示短期内的好处。E选项In the long term, time in nature may help to enhance our memory and attention capacity.（从长期来看，大自然中的时间可能有助于提高我们的记忆力和注意力）可知，和上文内容形成呼应，分别介绍了短期和长期不同的情况，符合语境。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Green infrastructure such as trees, woodlands, parks in and around towns and cities are essential to everyone. If spending time in nature isn’t possible for you, there are other ways that you can regain control of your time. Start by closely examining how you use time throughout your week.( 城镇内外的树木、林地、公园等绿色基础设施对每个人都至关重要。如果你不可能花时间在大自然中，还有其他方法可以让你重新控制自己的时间。首先仔细检查一下你在一周内是如何利用时间的)”由此可知，空格处作为新一段的开头，提出了一个现实问题，即对于城市居民来说，接触自然可能是难以实现的。C选项Getting out into nature, for those living in urban areas, can be hard to access.（对于那些生活在城市地区的人来说，进入大自然是很难的）可知，符合此推断，本段后面内容也是这针对这个问题提出了具体的解决方法。故选C项。 【40题详解】 分析上下句可知，本空接着Start by ... See ...两个祈使句提出的又一个建议。B选项Besides, try to set yourself some boundaries in how you use time. （此外，试着给自己设定一些如何利用时间的界限）可知，为提出另一个建议。下文还有具体的实例说明“This could be limiting when you access emails and social media, or it could be booking in time in your calendar to take a break.( 这可以是限制你访问电子邮件和社交媒体的时间，也可以是在你的日历中预订休息时间)”可知，承接上文内容，同时引起下文，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sarah Thomas set a new record by swimming across the English Channel four times.

Daddy bought me a special costume, but it didn’t feel special. How about you give me something different this year? Then I can be a true hero and save lives. I can be a firefighter, you know! Please grant my wish!” After writing the letter, Jase tucked it under his pillow and dozed off. A few days later, when he ran down the stairs, he saw a giant Christmas tree in the living room and a pile of parcels underneath it. “This is for Mom… This one is for Dad… Where’s mine?” “Yay! Gotcha!” he exclaimed as he began unwrapping it. As Jase saw it was a firetruck, he couldn’t contain his excitement. Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter, and all his favorite toys were also related to firefighters! Jase’s family had his twin sisters, Milly and Rosie, his dad, Peter, and his mom, Lydia. They were happy in their cozy tiny home, and every celebration in their household was a sweet affair. Jase was so happy with his Christmas present that year that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. He also gave his little sisters a ride in it, and they loved it. After dinner that night, when everyone was asleep, Jase was up and decided to drive the truck around the house. He had enjoyed it so much that he hadn’t left his truck for even an hour that day! When he couldn’t sleep, he decided to take his truck down to the living room and play with it. Suddenly, Jase felt something strange — a mixture of smoke, heat, and light — and stopped. When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree, its bottom in flames. Jase’s parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the living room curtains on fire. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The fire was spreading fast, and Jase shook with fear. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One of the firefighters patted Jase’s shoulder and said, “Good job!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The fire was spreading fast, and Jase shook with fear. “Mom! Dad!” he shouted as he rushed upstairs to wake up his twin sisters. Milly sat up, blinking sleepily and ran downstairs with him, but Rosie was asleep, so he carried her in his arms, put his sisters in the truck and then hared off to his parents’ room, screaming at them. The couple was startled awake and called 911. Soon, the firefighters arrived and sprang into action. The fire was extinguished at length. While fighters performed their duties desperately, Jase could barely take his eyes off the “heroes”. One of the firefighters patted Jase’s shoulder and said, “Good job!” Jase smiled back at him and uttered brimming with confidence, “Thank you, sir. I will become a real hero like you someday.” As the fighters left, Jase gazed after them with admiration. In the following years, he went to extraordinary lengths to pursue his childhood dream. And well, today, Jase has helped several families from such tragic events, and he is indeed a hero, a firefighter. Sometimes, he looks back at the “firetruck” and feels proud of how far he has come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要讲述了小男孩Jase在圣诞节前写信给圣诞老人，表达了他想成为消防员并拯救生命的愿望。圣诞节那天，他收到了一辆玩具消防车作为礼物，感到非常兴奋，一家人在温馨的家庭环境中度过了一个快乐的圣诞节。当天晚上大家入睡后，Jase起来玩消防车，发现圣诞树因父母忘灭蜡烛而着火。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“火势蔓延得很快，Jase吓得浑身发抖”可知，第一段可描写Jase赶紧叫醒自己的家人，帮助他们逃离着火的房子，以及Jase的父母打电话给消防员，消防员赶来救火。 ②由第二段首句内容“一名消防员拍了拍Jase的肩膀说：‘干得好！’”可知，第二段可描写Jase表达对消防员的感谢和钦佩，坚定自己想要成为消防员的愿望，以及Jase通过不懈努力，最终真的成为消防员，帮助了一些人。 2. 续写线索：火势迅速蔓延——Jase叫醒家人——消防员前来灭火——一名消防员夸奖Jase——Jase感谢和钦佩消防员——Jase努力成为消防员 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：shout/yell/cry ②冲，奔：rush/run/dash ③迅速开始行动：spring into action/jump into action ④追求：pursue/go after/run after 情绪类 ①使吓一跳：startle/scare/frighten ②钦佩：admiration/esteem 【点睛】[高分句型1] While fighters performed their duties desperately, Jase could barely take his eyes off the “heroes”.
