However, relying too much on them can affect your learning. First, try to solve problems on your own. If you’re stuck, ask your teachers or classmates for help. They can explain the concepts in a way that’s easier to understand. Second, talk to your parents about your study methods. It’s definitely necessary to explain why you use the app and assure them you’re committed to learning. Maybe you can agree on using the app only for certain subjects or after you’ve tried to solve the problems yourself. Lastly, set aside specific time for studying and using the app, which can help you manage your time better and show your parents you’re serious about learning. Yours, LiHua One possible version: With it, she handed me a beautiful black leather journal book. It had thick with pages of unlined white paper. “You don’t need to show it to me as you write. It can be private. Your very own.” I’d long wanted to journal but didn’t have a special place to do it. When there is no money for regular food, let alone for a journal book. I took it home and began experimenting as a poet, a writer, an artist, a dreamer—a little person who could imagine a better ending to the story. Miss Troutman made many accidental sandwiches that year. She would fill a lot of hams between the slices. She would put it into my lunch box when no one was looking. She tried her every effort to protect a little kid’s delicate heart. Kids usually feel hurt in different forms, such as hunger, physical pain, loneliness, fear, and all sorts of other horrible, painful things. And kids often want to deal with it alone, but they may need someone to notice, and Miss Troutman is the ones to do just that. 英语参考答案及详解 A篇 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个英国关于展示文艺的活动。 21.D。细节理解题。根据BEETL EJUICE BEETL EJUICE可知，这部电影自9月6日上映到10月12日，历时最长。故选D。 22.C。细节理解题。根据CRAFT FESTIVAL WALES和BRITISH ART FAIR内容可知，两个活动中都有艺术品的展览。故选C。 23.A。推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了四个英国关于展示文艺的活动,每个活动后有网络链接。由此可推知，文章很可能来自一本关于文化的网站。故选A。 B篇 本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要是赛艇选手安德森以第一人称视角讲述她所在队伍在2024年巴黎奥运会夺冠，以及她的父亲鼓励她逐梦奥运会的故事。 24.C。细节理解题。根据第三段可知，安德森在她14岁时，看到了海伦·格罗沃和希瑟·斯坦宁夺得2012年伦敦奥运会女子双人赛艇金牌，此后她在笔记本中写道她自己最大的梦想是参加奥运会赛艇项目，由此可知在最开始，是他人的成功激励了安德森参加奥运会，故选C。 25.C。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句以及第三段前两句可知，在巴黎奥运会赛艇四人赛中，安德森所在战队以0.15秒优势击败此前一直领先的荷兰队，摘得桂冠，即是安德森队获得险胜，故选C。 26.B。细节理解题。根据本文最后两段，尤其是倒数第二段第二句“他说，这个纸条会提醒你：即使当你都怀疑自己的时候，你所爱的人也会支持你”可知，安德森的父亲给她纸条是为了表达支持之情，鼓励她按照纸条上所写的那样勇敢逐梦，故选B。 27.D。推理判断题。文章是一篇记叙文，是作者父亲的提醒物一直在帮助自己渡过难关，取得胜利的故事。故选D。 C篇 这是一篇说明文，强调了植物在减少大气中的二氧化碳方面的关键作用，同时也指出了植物吸收二氧化碳的能力有其极限。文章呼吁人类理解这些极限，并与自然合作，共同对抗气候变化。 28.

Bravo!” M: Ha-ha. Then you actually shouted “Bravo!” out. You really frightened us. W: Oh, forget it! It was absolutely embarrassing! I just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. M: But I think you'd better go to Mr. Miller’s office and apologize to him first. Text 10 One day in December, 2022, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a computer program called ChatGPT. It can do activities similar to thinking and writing with artificial intelligence (AI). It helped Reshi come up with a story. Then Reshi made pictures using another AI program, Midjourney, which can translate words into images. The story turned into a book, Alice and Sparkle, in just seventy-two hours. It was published on a digital bookstore on December 4th, and a paperback version came out the following day. Some people praised Reshi for his intelligence. But artists were critical. They said the artwork produced by AI was poor, and the way the art was made was also a problem. Midjourney could be using artists’ works without their permission. Facing the challenge of AI, many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Abraham Josephine Riesman, a reporter, said, “It’s deeply troubling to see people seeking cheap alternatives to actual human writing.” Reshi said, “Tech companies should protect artists and writers. It’s really important that the tech industry that is working on these tools involves artists in the process of creation.” The rapid development of technology makes our life convenient, but it also brings a lot of problems for us to deal with. 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年秋季普通高中11月份高一年级阶段性联考 英 语 本试卷共10页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 祝考试顺利、 注意事项： 1.答题前，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.

B In the southwest of London, in Richmond, Lola Anderson began her rowing journey at the famous Surbiton High School. At the age of 14, she was moved by the victory of Heather Stanning and Helen Glover in the women's pair at the London 2012 Olympics. Inspired, she penned in her diary with a pink highlighter: “My name is Lola Anderson, and my biggest dream is to compete in the Olympics in rowing, and if possible, win gold.” After completing her English studies at Newcastle University, she won a gold medal in the quadruple sculls at the World Rowing Championships in 2023, followed by another victory at the European Championships that year. In July, alongside Georgie Brayshaw, Hannah Scott, and Lauren Henry, she rowed to victory in the Paris Olympic final. In the competition, a mere 0.15 second separated her team from the Dutch boat at the finish line in Paris. They had been leading Anderson throughout the race until that last moment. Gasping for breath and nearly in shock, she was then overwhelmed by a surge of emotion. Her teammate, Hannah Scott, leaned forward to hug her from behind, saying, “Your father would have been so proud of what you've achieved.” It was then that Anderson began to cry, unable to stop. Her father, Don, had passed away five years before from cancer, but he had always been her strong supporter. Unknown to her, her father kept the note and returned it to her seven years later, just two months before he passed away. He told her it served as a reminder that even when you doubt yourself, your loved ones will always have faith in you. His words encouraged her through difficulties in the years that followed. That treasured piece of paper, as an important reminder, now lies in a tin box in her bedroom, alongside a couple of her rowing medals. “The tin is one of the first things I see when I wake up at 6 am. I know my father would be so proud of what I've achieved,” she recalled. 24. What inspired Anderson to attend the Olympics in rowing at first? A. Her father's illness. B. A habit of keeping a diary. C. Others' success in games. D. Her preference for rowing. 25. What can be inferred about Anderson from paragraph 2 and 3? A. She rowed to gold in 2023 with two other teammates. B. She was really moved to tears seeing her father. C. Her team won a narrow victory in the Paris Olympics. D. Her team was confident of the competition all the time. 26. What can we learn from the story ? A. Always prepare for a rainy days. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. You can't judge a book by its cover. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 27. What is the best title for the passage ? A. An excellent champion. B. A close competition. C. An impressive father. D. A precious reminder. C Plants are nature's superheroes in the battle against climate change. They' re like a team of eco-protectors, using their superpower of photosynthesis(光合作用) to take in carbon dioxide from the air. This process not only helps them grow but also reduces the amount of this greenhouse gas in our atmosphere(大气层), which is a major cause of global warming. It's like they' re on the road to clean up our planet. But, just like any superhero, plants have their limits. There's a point where they might not be able to absorb(吸收) any more carbon dioxide, and that's a big worry for scientists. They' re racing against time to figure out when we might hit that limit. Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon. Researchers, using computer models, have found that photosynthesis has increased by 30 percent. “It's a positive development among the challenges of climate change,” explains Lucas Cernusak, an ecophysiologist from James Cook University in Australia. Cernusak and his team did a research on data from a 2017 study that measured carbonyl sulfide(羰基硫) in ice and air. Plants absorb carbonyl sulfide as part of their natural cycle, alongside carbon dioxide, and this is often used to measure global photosynthesis. As atmospheric CO₂ levels continue to rise, it's thought that plants will eventually reach their absorption limitation. “If more CO₂ remains in the atmosphere, concentrations will rise, increasing climate change,” warns Danielle Way, an ecophysiologist from Western University. And it's not just about the plants. What we do on the ground matters too. Cutting down forests to make way for farms and burning fossil fuels like oil and coal are messing with the carbon cycle. It's like we' re adding more ingredients to a soup that's already too rich. Plants are our friends in the fight against climate change, but they can't do it alone. We need to understand their limits and work with them, not against them. 28. What is the main role of plants in the atmosphere? A. Producing greenhouse gas. B. Growing up by themselves. C. Broadening photosynthesis. D. Absorbing carbon dioxide. 29. What is carbonyl sulfide used for in the context of the passage? A. A protector for plants. B. A measure of photosynthesis. C. A cause of climate change. D. An extra product of industrialization. 30. What will the future possibly be like if plants reach their absorption limit? A. The climate change may worsen. B. The Earth will become colder. C. Carbonyl sulfide will disappear in natural cycle. D. Carbon in the air will decrease. 31. What information does the passage convey? A. Plants solve climate change. B. Human actions are harmless. C. Work with nature's limits. D. Climate change is changeable. D Cleaning up abandoned lots(废弃草坪) and creating community gardens doesn't just make a neighborhood feel safer—a growing body of evidence shows they really become safer. That was about ten years ago, when Flint was known for its high rate of violent crime(犯罪). In 2012, according to FBI data, 2,774 violent crimes were reported to the Flint Police Department. In 2022, 985 were reported. But now, through the Genesee County Land Bank's Clean & Green program, Ishmel and hundreds of other residents have been mowing(修剪) vacant lots, leading to its decreasing crime. Like other “legacy cities” that have experienced significant economic fall and population loss, Flint is still struggling. Greening projects like these maintain(维护) abandoned spaces, either by mowing them or changing them into gardens and parks. “When we take care of our neighborhood, it makes us feel a little bit safer,” Ishmel says. But these projects don't just make the neighborhood feel safer. Researchers who have been studying the effects of greening in Flint, Philadelphia, Youngstown, and other legacy cities have shown repeatedly that it actually reduces violent crime. And in Flint, Zimmerman and his colleagues compared streets where community members maintained vacant lots through Clean & Green with streets where vacant lots were left alone, over five years. The maintained ones had almost 40 percent fewer attacks and violent crimes. Another study showed that divisions of neighborhoods with maintained lawns had lower rates of child maltreatment(虐待). These studies measure the decrease in crime, but it's more difficult to exactly explain why crime rates are decreasing. Zimmerman points to the “broken windows” and “busy streets” theories. The idea is that one broken window sends a message “that nobody's watching, that you can get away with things, and you can do nefarious activities, and nobody cares,” he explains. “Busy streets” is the opposite: It says calling on citizens to better neighborhoods will help develop a strong sense of community. “From our research, it helps people feel better about each other, about themselves, about their neighborhood, about their community, about their street,” Zimmerman says. And it says to people who might commit crimes “that people are paying attention and care about this place.” 32. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate? A. FBI's efforts. B. The decrease in crime. C. The city's falling. D. The situation of lots. 33. What is the effect of the project mentioned in the passage? A. The vacant lots in Flint was ignored all the time. B. Flint's population has become smaller than before. C. The project has improved people's sense of safety. D. The project has only adjusted parent-child relationship. 34. What does the underlined word “nefarious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Bad. B. Suitable. C. Awkward. D. Adventurous. 35. What might be the author's attitude towards the project in Flint? A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 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。 Imagine flying into the future in a time machine, 100 years from today. What do you see?

My father's crop could not get enough water and died. With no crop to sell, there was no money. With no money, there was no food. We were a family of six. I was very hungry for quite some time. My father grew worried and silent, my mother sad and angry. Though it would be many painful years before they would finally break up, the drought years were the worst because the farmhouse seemed to be waiting for something— thunder, lightning, heavy rain, a big fight, something to happen. As kids do, I soldiered on, not having words or systems to manage anything otherwise. My sisters reacted similarly. We did not discuss it. At the dinner table, we had my mother's home-canned green beans quietly, accompanied with apples. When school started, I packed three apples for lunch every day, because there were plenty in the basement: towers of boxes full of apples, bought at the Bargain Bin for a song. Kids made fun of me in the cafeteria, and I shouted at them: “Shut up. It's just that I love apples.” Early in November, my teacher Miss Troutman pulled me aside secretly. She gave me two gifts. The first was a ham sandwich. The second was a journal book. I don't know how she knew my situation. Perhaps it was my bony legs and dirty, too-short jeans. Perhaps she saw the apples. Maybe she just guessed. Regardless, she found a way to help me without hurting me or making me talk about my breaking heart. She offered dignity and kindness, making me filled with gratitude now. “Silly me,” she said. “I accidentally made an extra sandwich this morning. Could you do me a favor to have this extra one?” 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With it, she handed me a beautiful black leather journal book. Miss Troutman made many accidental sandwiches that year. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
