B A grandfather, who put a dog collar on his five-year-old granddaughter to prevent her from spending so much time on her mobile phone, has been congratulated for his wisdom by viewers of Chinese social media. The man from Xian, in the central province of Shaanxi, came up with the solution on December 7 when he noticed the little girl persistently playing games on the phone during a car journey. In the car was a new dog collar of the type that is usually used to stop dogs licking their wounds after injury or surgery, which he placed carefully around her neck. The girl’s mother, surnamed Yuan, said: “The kid was initially very upset because she couldn’t look at the phone, and because she knew the collar was meant for dogs. Even though it was new, she was still very against it.” When her grandfather finally removes her phone and takes her out of the car, she objects with a sad face: “No, no! This is for dogs!” “No, it’s specially bought for you. It’s pink. It’s yours,” her mother humorously reassures (使安心) her. Yuan later revealed that the approach was surprisingly effective at limiting her daughter’s “addiction”. “For the next two days, whenever she wanted to use the phone, I put the collar on her. After wearing it for two or three days, she no longer wanted the phone, so we don’t use it anymore,” Yuan told BaiLu Video. The creative solution has entertained many online viewers and aroused broader discussions about its application. “This dog collar is even pink. Are you sure the grandfather didn’t prepare it on purpose?” One person commented. “Actually, if you hold the phone a bit higher wearing this collar, you can still see it. . . so I also recommend it to young adults with neck problems as a result of being addicted to phones,” another noted. Not everybody is a fan of the unusual trick with one saying, “We have used this method at home, but it didn’t work for my kid. It would be more effective if adults lead by example and did not use phones.” “This is more for laughs than really practical. To get children off phones, you need to distract their attention and develop their interests,” remarked another expert. 4. What did the grandfather do to stop his granddaughter’s phone addiction? A. He persuaded her to remove her phone. B. He tailored a pink dog collar for her pet. C. He kept her company playing games out of the car. D. He positioned a pet collar around her neck to restrict her. 5. What was the girl’s initial attitude to wearing the dog collar? A. Tolerant. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring. 6. What words can be used to describe the grandfather? A. Selfless but patient. B. Stubborn but professional. C. Intelligent and creative. D. Responsible and generous. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. The method proved practical to distract other children from games. B. All viewers gave the grandfather a thump-up for his creative approach. C. The girl’s grandfather and mother quit the girl’s phone addiction together. D. Experts found it necessary to teach kids the importance of developing hobbies. C The artificial intelligence filter (滤镜) transforms portraits (肖像) into appealing “ugly-cute” clay sculpture images that look like characters from stop-motion animation (动画) films such as Wallace and Gromit or Shaun the Sheep. Remini, the photo editor app that launched the filter, topped China’s free app rankings with about 400,000 daily downloads in the seven days from April 30 to May 6. The click was boosted by the country’s five-day Labour Day holiday when the filter was used in travel vlogs. One clay-style vlog has gained about 13,400 likes on Xiaohongshu, China’s Instagram. The app’s popularity has been due to the clay filter “being both ugly and cute”, said the mainland media outlet Dushikuaibao. In the clay-style images, facial features are preserved, but are more colourful and expressions appear more exaggerated (夸张的). The app has been the source of much amusement and entertainment. In a post on Xiaohongshu, a toy lion was transformed into a young man with golden hair and a white beard. “These filters have saved my useless shots,” a person said on the platform. “Using this filter is like opening a blind box,” said another. “After seeing enough of similar influencers’ faces perfected by over-beautified filters, people now prefer a faulted version of reality over the perfect one,” said Dou Donghui, associate professor of psychology at Beijing’s Central University of Finance and Economics. Public opinions towards the clay filter show “happiness” at 42 per cent and “like” at 19 per cent, according to the AI search analysis on Weibo. “It’s ugly, but it makes me happy,” an online observer said. Psychotherapist Wang Huiqiu believes tat the clay filter arouses the quiet, healing essence of childhood stop-motion animation films. “The colours of the clay filter give a feeling of returning to simplicity, aligning with the longing for a slower life and modern society’s reflection on fast-paced living.” Wang said. Not everyone is a fan though, some think the effect is unattractive and displeasing. They prefer the more recently launched “jade” filter in the app, which generates portraits in the style of traditional Chinese jade sculptures. The effect is smaller and more refined faces with bigger eyes and smaller mouths. Others share tips on how to first change photos to a cartoon style before applying the clay filter, to avoid the perceived ugliness. 8. What is the function of the clay filter? A. Reducing the time of photo editing. B. Changing portraits into attractive ones. C. Presenting more clay sculpture images. D. Perfecting characters from animation films. 9. Which of the following can best describe the clay filter? A. It is user-friendly. B. It is well-preserved. C. It exhibits playfulness. D. It carries various features. 10. What does the underlined word “aligning” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Contrasting. B. Adjusting. C. Battling. D. Matching. 11. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce a new app. B. To share the history of clay. C. To analyze different public opinions. D. To compare two animation films. D Chances are that you’ve heard the phrase “like a moth (飞蛾) to a fire” — and probably seen it in action at a night time campfire or barbecue too. It turns out, however, this age-old saying may not be quite right. Rather than being attracted to light, moths’ tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up, suggests a new study published today in the journal Nature Communications. Unlike humans, most insects don’t have vestibule (前庭的) systems to help them maintain direction in space. “But they do have a system that allows them to really quickly tell what’s bright and what’s dark, and give them feedback about the sky so that they can fly stably,” Sondhi, the leading researcher, says. “If they mess that up. they start crashing or they go too high and then they lose their speed.” What if the light is spread over a wide area rather than coming from a singular point? The researchers stretched a large white sheet across theatre top and shot a UV light on it. “If the insects were truly attractive the light, they should fly up toward it,” says Sam Fabian, a study co-author and insect researcher at Imperial College in London. “Instead, the insects flew straight through this illuminated (照明的) passage, flying how they would during the day.” The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it, which is when something truly strange happened: “All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky,” Fabian says. These behaviors suggest that artificial light can cause a mismatch between the insects’ sense of which way is up and the true direction. This behavioral natural ability could spell trouble for insects populations. Satellite data has revealed that the use of artificial light has skyrocketed over the past decade, with the world getting 2 percent brighter each year. Depending on how lights are used, their shine could catch insects in a tiring orbit, or send them falling to their death. 12. Why is the old saying mentioned at the beginning? A. To illustrate a common sense. B. To lead a new theory. C. To popularize a complex phrase. D. To introduce. 13. How do the insects confirm their direction when flying? A. By flying over the tree tops. B. By keeping their speed stable. C. By approaching the position of light. D. By distinguishing the bright and dark. 14. What do paragraph 4 and 5 mainly focus on? A. Detailed account of the research process. B. Simple clarification of the research results. C. Potential application of the research findings. D. Further explanation of the research conclusion. 15. What is the possible impact of artificial light on insects? A. It declines their chances of survival. B. It improves their ability to shine at night. C It familiarizes insects with their flight orbit. D. It assists insects to maintain their sense of direction. 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。 The 7 Words That Can Ruin a Relationship The phrase “Don't worry; we will work it out" can be a double-edged sword in partnerships, whether it's a romantic relationship, a business cooperation,or a friendship.

My uncle had come from his home in another providence to stay with us for a few days during the school holidays. He was a teacher and liked to get out of town during this time. Upon hearing that I was learning how to drive, he was nothing short of excited. “Let’s do some practicing in the driveway now!” he exclaimed. I was shocked; my parents wouldn’t even let me do this. Ever since I had started learning one month ago, they only allowed me to practice in the driving school’s car as driving school. But my parents weren’t home, they were at work. And I did want to get some more practice under my belt, so with a soft “OK,” I went over to the dresser to grab the car keys. As I sat in the driver’s seat, the familiar but still nerve-wracking feeling of being behind the wheel crept over (渐渐袭来) me. I started the engine, my hands trembling slightly as I gripped the steering wheel. “How am I doing?” I asked nervously, just after I had a near miss with the mailbox. “You’re doing fine!” my uncle said, to my surprise. “I can tell you’re nervous, but your main problem is you’re not confident” I glanced at him, a bit taken aback by his insight. He continued, “I can see this because I was like you once before. My parents were too overprotective of me. They didn’t think I could do many things, so they sheltered me. Once I grew up and went out into the big wide world, I felt like I wasn’t as capable as those around me. I don’t want you to feel that either! Have you ever talked about this with your parents?” he asked. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ACAAB 6—10 CCCAB 11—15 AABBC 16—20 BBBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年秋季普通高中11月份高二年级阶段性联考 英语 本试卷共10页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．客题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

The man from Xian, in the central province of Shaanxi, came up with the solution on December 7 when he noticed the little girl persistently playing games on the phone during a car journey. In the car was a new dog collar of the type that is usually used to stop dogs licking their wounds after injury or surgery, which he placed carefully around her neck. The girl’s mother, surnamed Yuan, said: “The kid was initially very upset because she couldn’t look at the phone, and because she knew the collar was meant for dogs. Even though it was new, she was still very against it.” When her grandfather finally removes her phone and takes her out of the car, she objects with a sad face: “No, no! This is for dogs!” “No, it’s specially bought for you. It’s pink. It’s yours,” her mother humorously reassures (使安心) her. Yuan later revealed that the approach was surprisingly effective at limiting her daughter’s “addiction”. “For the next two days, whenever she wanted to use the phone, I put the collar on her. After wearing it for two or three days, she no longer wanted the phone, so we don’t use it anymore,” Yuan told BaiLu Video. The creative solution has entertained many online viewers and aroused broader discussions about its application. “This dog collar is even pink. Are you sure the grandfather didn’t prepare it on purpose?” One person commented. “Actually, if you hold the phone a bit higher wearing this collar, you can still see it. . . so I also recommend it to young adults with neck problems as a result of being addicted to phones,” another noted. Not everybody is a fan of the unusual trick with one saying, “We have used this method at home, but it didn’t work for my kid. It would be more effective if adults lead by example and did not use phones.” “This is more for laughs than really practical. To get children off phones, you need to distract their attention and develop their interests,” remarked another expert. 4. What did the grandfather do to stop his granddaughter’s phone addiction? A. He persuaded her to remove her phone. B. He tailored a pink dog collar for her pet. C. He kept her company playing games out of the car. D. He positioned a pet collar around her neck to restrict her. 5. What was the girl’s initial attitude to wearing the dog collar? A. Tolerant. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring. 6. What words can be used to describe the grandfather? A. Selfless but patient. B. Stubborn but professional. C. Intelligent and creative. D. Responsible and generous. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. The method proved practical to distract other children from games. B. All viewers gave the grandfather a thump-up for his creative approach. C. The girl’s grandfather and mother quit the girl’s phone addiction together. D. Experts found it necessary to teach kids the importance of developing hobbies. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7.

The click was boosted by the country’s five-day Labour Day holiday when the filter was used in travel vlogs. One clay-style vlog has gained about 13,400 likes on Xiaohongshu, China’s Instagram. The app’s popularity has been due to the clay filter “being both ugly and cute”, said the mainland media outlet Dushikuaibao. In the clay-style images, facial features are preserved, but are more colourful and expressions appear more exaggerated (夸张的). The app has been the source of much amusement and entertainment. In a post on Xiaohongshu, a toy lion was transformed into a young man with golden hair and a white beard. “These filters have saved my useless shots,” a person said on the platform. “Using this filter is like opening a blind box,” said another. “After seeing enough of similar influencers’ faces perfected by over-beautified filters, people now prefer a faulted version of reality over the perfect one,” said Dou Donghui, associate professor of psychology at Beijing’s Central University of Finance and Economics. Public opinions towards the clay filter show “happiness” at 42 per cent and “like” at 19 per cent, according to the AI search analysis on Weibo. “It’s ugly, but it makes me happy,” an online observer said. Psychotherapist Wang Huiqiu believes tat the clay filter arouses the quiet, healing essence of childhood stop-motion animation films. “The colours of the clay filter give a feeling of returning to simplicity, aligning with the longing for a slower life and modern society’s reflection on fast-paced living.” Wang said. Not everyone is a fan though, some think the effect is unattractive and displeasing. They prefer the more recently launched “jade” filter in the app, which generates portraits in the style of traditional Chinese jade sculptures. The effect is smaller and more refined faces with bigger eyes and smaller mouths. Others share tips on how to first change photos to a cartoon style before applying the clay filter, to avoid the perceived ugliness. 8. What is the function of the clay filter? A. Reducing the time of photo editing. B. Changing portraits into attractive ones. C. Presenting more clay sculpture images. D. Perfecting characters from animation films. 9. Which of the following can best describe the clay filter? A. It is user-friendly. B. It is well-preserved. C It exhibits playfulness. D. It carries various features. 10. What does the underlined word “aligning” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Contrasting. B. Adjusting. C. Battling. D. Matching. 11. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce a new app. B. To share the history of clay. C. To analyze different public opinions. D. To compare two animation films. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一款名为Remini的照片编辑应用，该应用通过“丑陋可爱”的粘土滤镜将普通肖像变成迷人的粘土雕塑图像。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The artificial intelligence filter (滤镜) transforms portraits (肖像) into appealing ‘ugly-cute’ clay sculpture images that look like characters from stop-motion animation (动画) films such as Wallace and Gromit or Shaun the Sheep.(人工智能滤镜将肖像转换成吸引人的“丑萌”粘土形象，看起来就像定格动画电影《超级无敌掌门狗》或《小羊肖恩》中的角色)”可知，它的主要功能是把平常的肖像变成有吸引力的图像，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“In the clay-style images, facial features are preserved, but are more colourful and expressions appear more exaggerated (夸张的). The app has been the source of much amusement and entertainment.(在粘土风格的图像中，面部特征被保留，但更丰富多彩，表情更夸张。这款应用已经成为许多娱乐和娱乐的来源)”可知，粘土滤镜以夸张的表情、分明的色彩而颇具娱乐性，故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“The colours of the clay filter give a feeling of returning to simplicity(粘土滤镜的颜色给人一种回归简单的感觉)”和划线词后“the longing for a slower life and modern society’s reflection on fast-paced living.(对慢节奏生活的渴望和现代社会对快节奏生活的反思)”可知，前半句是滤镜的色彩给人的感受是回归简单，后面是渴望慢节奏的生活，前后半句意思相近，故aligning意思是“相符，一致”，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“The artificial intelligence filter (滤镜) transforms portraits (肖像) into appealing ‘ugly-cute’ clay sculpture images that look like characters from stop-motion animation (动画) films such as Wallace and Gromit or Shaun the Sheep.(人工智能滤镜将肖像转换成吸引人的“丑萌”粘土形象，看起来就像定格动画电影《超级无敌掌门狗》或《小羊肖恩》中的角色)”和第二段中“Remini, the photo editor app that launched the filter, topped China’s free app rankings with about 400,000 daily downloads in the seven days from April 30 to May 6.(在4月30日至5月6日的7天里，推出这款滤镜的图片编辑应用Remini以每天约40万的下载量位居中国免费应用排行榜之首)”可知，整篇文章都在介绍Remini图像编辑软件的流行和功能，故文章目的是介绍一个新的应用程序，故选A。 D Chances are that you’ve heard the phrase “like a moth (飞蛾) to a fire” — and probably seen it in action at a night time campfire or barbecue, too. It turns out, however, this age-old saying may not be quite right. Rather than being attracted to light, moths’ tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up, suggests a new study published today in the journal Nature Communications. Unlike humans, most insects don’t have vestibule (前庭的) systems to help them maintain direction in space. “But they do have a system that allows them to really quickly tell what’s bright and what’s dark, and give them feedback about the sky so that they can fly stably,” Sondhi, the leading researcher, says. “If they mess that up. they start crashing or they go too high and then they lose their speed.” What if the light is spread over a wide area rather than coming from a singular point? The researchers stretched a large white sheet across theatre top and shot a UV light on it. “If the insects were truly attractive the light, they should fly up toward it,” says Sam Fabian, a study co-author and insect researcher at Imperial College in London. “Instead, the insects flew straight through this illuminated (照明的) passage, flying how they would during the day.” The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it, which is when something truly strange happened: “All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky,” Fabian says. These behaviors suggest that artificial light can cause a mismatch between the insects’ sense of which way is up and the true direction. This behavioral natural ability could spell trouble for insects populations. Satellite data has revealed that the use of artificial light has skyrocketed over the past decade, with the world getting 2 percent brighter each year. Depending on how lights are used, their shine could catch insects in a tiring orbit, or send them falling to their death. 12. Why is the old saying mentioned at the beginning? A. To illustrate a common sense. B. To lead a new theory. C. To popularize a complex phrase. D. To introduce. 13. How do the insects confirm their direction when flying? A. By flying over the tree tops. B. By keeping their speed stable. C. By approaching the position of light. D. By distinguishing the bright and dark. 14. What do paragraph 4 and 5 mainly focus on? A. Detailed account of the research process. B. Simple clarification of the research results. C. Potential application of the research findings. D. Further explanation of the research conclusion. 15. What is the possible impact of artificial light on insects? A. It declines their chances of survival. B. It improves their ability to shine at night. C. It familiarizes insects with their flight orbit. D. It assists insects to maintain their sense of direction. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，说明了飞蛾对光的行为反应，以及人造光对昆虫可能造成的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“Chances are that you’ve heard the phrase “like a moth(飞蛾）to a fire” — and probably seen it in action at a night time campfire or barbecue, too.(你可能听说过“飞蛾扑火”这个短语，也可能在晚上的篝火或烧烤中看到过它)”提到“飞蛾扑火”这个短语，由第二段“It turns out, however, this age-old saying may not be quite right. Rather than being attracted to light, moths’ tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up, suggests a new study published today in the journal Nature Communications.(然而，事实证明，这句古老的谚语可能并不完全正确。今天发表在Nature Communications杂志上的一项新研究表明，飞蛾倾向于飞向明亮的地方，而不是被光线吸引，这是一种行为反应，可以帮助它们确定哪条路是向上的)”可知，新的研究表明，飞蛾并不是被光吸引，而是飞向亮处是一种行为反应，以帮助它们确定哪个方向是向上的。所以第一段的写作目的是为了引出该实验研究。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段句子“But they do have a system that allows them to really quickly tell what’s bright and what’s dark, and give them feedback about the sky so that they can fly stably(但它们确实有一个系统，可以让它们非常迅速地分辨出什么是亮的，什么是暗的，并给它们关于天空的反馈，这样它们就可以稳定地飞行)”可知，昆虫飞行时通过分辨明亮和黑暗来确认方向，故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The researchers stretched a large white sheet across theatre top and shot a UV light on it.(研究人员在剧院顶部铺了一张白色的大床单，然后用紫外线照射)”和第五段中“The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it, which is when something truly strange happened(然后，研究小组把床单放在地上，用灯照着它，就在这时，真正奇怪的事情发生了)”可知，这两段主要呈现的是实验过程。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Depending on how lights are used, their shine could catch insects in a tiring orbit, or send them falling to their death.(根据灯光的使用方式，它们的光芒可能会使昆虫陷入疲惫的轨道，或者使它们坠落至死)”可知，人造光的使用可能会导致昆虫陷入疲惫的轨道或者坠落死亡，从而降低它们的生存机会。故选A。 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。 The 7 Words That Can Ruin a Relationship The phrase “Don't worry; we will work it out" can be a double-edged sword in partnerships, whether it's a romantic relationship, a business cooperation,or a friendship.

Communication breakdown James and Tony, longtime friends bonded by their shared love for softball,excitedly took on the task of organizing their neighborhood’s annual league（联盟）. However, as they focused in the planning process, their communication began to crack. James, acareful planner, insisted on sticking to a strict schedule, while Tony,who has a more easy-going nature, repeatedly said, "Don't worry; we will work it out," selecting fun over structure. ___19___ For example, they argued about team formations and game schedules, causing tension to rise between them. Frustrated by their inability to see eye-to-eye, James and Tony found themselves at a crossroads,unsure if their friendship could stand the tension of their difference perspectives on how to run the league. ___20___ But it's also important for partners to back up their words to address challenges. Otherwise,the overuse of "Don't worry; we will work it out" can gradually lessen trust, communication, and responsibility, ultimately leading to the worsening of the partnership itself. A. So his reassurances start to feel blank. B. League participants felt caught in the conflict. C. However, he gets quiet when his sales figures drop. D. In conclusion offering reassurance is helpful in any partnership. E. Their conflicting viewpoints led to heated debates on everything. F.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“不要担心；我们会解决的”这句话在人与人沟通中可能是一把双刃剑。 【16题详解】 上文“While it’s often intended to reassure and provide hope in challenging times, its repeated use without meaningful action can lessen trust and weaken the partnership.(虽然这句话通常是为了在充满挑战的时期打消人们的疑虑，给人们带来希望，但在没有实际行动的情况下，重复使用这句话会减少信任，削弱伙伴关系)”指出不恰当地使用这句话会会有害处，文章接下来的段落提供了两个具体的例子，G项“以下是它如何减少信任和伤害关系的两个例子”为读者提供了一个概述，引出下文，故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“As a charming car sales professional, he enjoys himself during those times when he has strong sales numbers.(作为一个有魅力的汽车销售专业人士，在他的销售数字强劲的时候他很开心)”描述了 David 在销售数字好的时候很健谈，结合下文“He just says to his supportive girlfriend, Bridget, ‘I don’t want to talk about it’.(他只是对支持他的女友Bridget说：‘我不想谈这件事。’)”可知，David却变得沉默，故空处和前文描述的David的冲动消费习惯和他对Bridget的回应形成了对比，C项“然而，当他的销售数字下降时，他就沉默了”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“However, because David fails to take steps to address his financial struggles, their problems continue and worsen.(然而，由于David没有采取措施解决他的财务困难，他们的问题继续恶化)”和下文“And Bridget questions the sincerity behind his words, leading to doubt and frustration.(Bridget质疑他话语背后的诚意，导致怀疑和沮丧)”可知，上文描述David未能采取行动解决财务问题，下文说明了Bridget对David保证的真实性产生怀疑，导致怀疑和挫败感，A项“所以他的安慰开始变得空洞”强调了重复使用“Don’t worry; we will work it out”而不采取实际行动会如何逐渐削弱信任。故选A。 【19题详解】 下文“For example, they argued about team formations and game schedules, causing tension to rise between them. Frustrated by their inability to see eye-to-eye, James and Tony found themselves at a crossroads, unsure if their friendship could stand the tension of their difference perspectives on how to run the league.(例如，他们争论团队组成和比赛日程，导致他们之间的紧张关系上升。由于无法达成一致意见，James和Tony发现自己处在一个十字路口，他们不确定他们的友谊是否能承受住他们在如何经营联盟方面的不同观点所带来的紧张关系)”描述了James和Tony在组织社区年度联赛的过程中，由于他们对计划过程的不同看法而产生的冲突，E选项“他们的观点冲突导致对每件事的激烈辩论”正符合语境，这个选项展示了当两个人对如何解决问题有不同的看法时，如何导致沟通障碍和紧张关系。故选E。 【20题详解】 空处作为尾段，应是总结前文提到的两个例子，强调在伙伴关系中提供保证的重要性，D项“总之，在任何合作关系中，提供保证都是有帮助的”符合语境，同时，下文“But it’s also important for partners to back up their words to address challenges.(但合作伙伴在应对挑战时信守承诺也很重要)”也提醒读者，仅仅提供保证是不够的，还需要采取实际行动来解决问题，故选D。 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。 The trust and affection shared between a dog and its owner is a beautiful example of inter species relationships.

An earlier report by the Climate Institute found that coffee production could ___37___(cut) in half due to climate change.

And pests reproduce and spread quicker in ___39___ (hot) climates.

My uncle had come from his home in another providence to stay with us for a few days during the school holidays. He was a teacher and liked to get out of town during this time. Upon hearing that I was learning how to drive, he was nothing short of excited. “Let’s do some practicing in the driveway now!” he exclaimed. I was shocked; my parents wouldn’t even let me do this. Ever since I had started learning one month ago, they only allowed me to practice in the driving school’s car as driving school. But my parents weren’t home, they were at work. And I did want to get some more practice under my belt, so with a soft “OK,” I went over to the dresser to grab the car keys. As I sat in the driver’s seat, the familiar but still nerve-wracking feeling of being behind the wheel crept over (渐渐袭来) me. I started the engine, my hands trembling slightly as I gripped the steering wheel. “How am I doing?” I asked nervously, just after I had a near miss with the mailbox. “You’re doing fine!” my uncle said, to my surprise. “I can tell you’re nervous, but your main problem is you’re not confident” I glanced at him, a bit taken aback by his insight. He continued, “I can see this because I was like you once before. My parents were too overprotective of me. They didn’t think I could do many things, so they sheltered me. Once I grew up and went out into the big wide world, I felt like I wasn’t as capable as those around me. I don’t want you to feel that either! Have you ever talked about this with your parents?” he asked. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 At that very moment, my dad arrived home, a deep frown appearing across his face. He immediately noticed me behind the wheel and his expression turned even more serious. “What’s going on here?” he asked, clearly upset. My uncle quickly explained the situation, and assured my father that I was doing well. Dad looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?” his tone was softer than before. I nodded, feeling a mix of emotions - nervousness, excitement, and a little guilt. After a short conversation with my uncle, Dad agreed to let me continue practicing, but under strict instructions. One week later, I was behind the wheel again in our driveway, but this time it wasn’t my uncle in the passenger seat. Instead, it was my father. His presence made me feel both supported and a bit more anxious. However, his calm and encouraging words helped ease my tension. “Take it slow,” he advised, “and remember what you’ve learned.” With each attempt, I grew more confident, and my father felt proud of me. That day marked a turning point in my relationship with my father, as he showed me his support and belief in my abilities. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在叔叔鼓励下尝试家中练车的故事。叔叔提议并鼓励作者，虽作者初时紧张，但叔叔的肯定与分享自身经历让作者受鼓舞。最后，叔叔建议作者与父母沟通，以获更多支持。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，我爸爸回到家，他的脸上出现了深深的皱眉。”可知，第一段可描写爸爸发现作者开车后的反应以及叔叔和他谈过后，允许作者开车 ②由第二段首句内容“一个星期后，我又在我们家的车道上开车了，但这次坐在副驾驶座上的不是我叔叔。”可知，第二段可描写父亲支持作者开车以及改善关系。 2. 续写线索：爸爸发现作者开车——叔叔解释情况——同意继续练习——爸爸开始帮助练习——改善关系——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot ②保证：assure/guarantee ③建议：advise/suggest 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1]My uncle quickly explained the situation, and assured my father that I was doing well.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]That day marked a turning point in my relationship with my father, as he showed me his support and belief in my abilities.(as引导的原因状语从句) 听力 1—5 ACAAB 6—10 CCCAB 11—15 AABBC 16—20 BBBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
