Rainier National Park不符。文中提到，雷 尼尔山是一座休眠的冰川火山，且经常被云层覆盖，因此不可能有晴朗的天气供游客在海滩 晒太阳。选项B"View the dormant glacier-covered volcano..”与文中描述相符。文中明确 提到，在西雅图晴朗的日子里，人们可以从东南方向看到巨大的雷尼尔山，这是一座休眠的 冰川火山。选项C“徒步登上正在喷发的火山顶”与文中描述的雷尼尔山作为休眠火山的事 实不符。选项D,文中并未提及雷尼尔山国家公园的气候特点为最干燥。因此，正确答案 是B。 22.C细节理解题。选项C与文中描述相符。文中提到，大提顿国家公园是美国风景最壮丽 的地方之一，也是无数照片的拍摄对象。这表明摄影爱好者很可能会选择这个地方进行拍 摄。选项B虽然也是游客众多的地方，但文中并未特别强调其作为摄影爱好者的首选地点。 选项A文中主要描述了其作为休眠火山的特点，并未提及与摄影爱好者的关系。选项D文 中主要描述了其洞穴系统的特点，与摄影爱好者的拍摄需求关系不大。因此，正确答案 是C。 23.D细节理解题。选项A虽然描述了猛犸洞国家公园的地理位置，但并未体现其独特性。 选项B without any life与原文不符，选项C outside the caves与原文不符。选项D与文中 描述相符。文中明确提到，整个已探明的洞穴系统构成了世界上最大的洞穴系统，这是猛犸 洞国家公园的独特之处。因此，正确答案是D B篇：语篇类型：记叙文。语篇导读：【人与自我】之学习传统文化。本文讲述了青年木偶艺术家 洪金雕学艺、从艺、传艺的故事。 24.B细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“The stage is enveloped in darkness,save for a spotlight highlighting the actor's hands,skillfully manipulating puppet strings'”可知，他正 在巧妙地操纵木偶线。故选B。 25.C推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“，，his teacher recommended that he study..,so he switched,beginning his journey in puppetry”可知，意想不到的事件促使他学习提线木 偶表演。故选C。 26.B推理判断题。根据第一段、第二段和最后一段可知答案为B项。 【高三英语·参考答案第1页（共9页）】 ·25-129C· 27.A标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了洪金雕学艺、从艺、传艺的故事，表明 了他对中国木偶艺术的热爱。故A项作为标题合适。 C篇：语篇类型：说明文。语篇导读：【人与社会】现在刷短视频已经成为一种主流娱乐方式，很 多人可能每天都刷到无法自拔。然而研究发现，刷短视频，尤其是不断地快进或跳过视频，事实 上会让人感觉更无聊。 28.B细节理解题。根据原文第二段“·We feel bored when there's a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,'she said.'When people keep switching through videos,they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting..This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.,”可知，刷短 视频会无聊是因为人们刷视频时的注意力与人们想要的注意力之间有差距，即人们在刷短 视频时的注意力下降导致乏味。所以，B选项正确。A是结果而不是原因，C、D无中生有。 29.D词义猜测题。第三段的段落大意：结果似乎与其他研究相吻合：正如该团队所指出的，以 前的研究表明，虽然缓解无聊是人们使用社交媒体或智能手机的驱动力，但使用此类技术似 乎会使这种感觉变得更糟。所以D.Correspond with“与一致”"正确。 30.B细节理解题。从原文第五段“Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to...”可知，当我们有选择跳过视频的权利时，这样做往往会导致无聊，所以 B选项正确。文章只展示了四项实验结果，所以A错误。C,D选项表意与原文相违背。 31.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Tam说的话可知，他们的研究表明，虽然人们会快 进或跳过视频以避免无聊，但这种行为实际上会让他们感到更无聊。就像人们为电影院的 沉浸式体验付费一样，乐趣通常来自让自己沉浸在视频中，而不是浏览它们。由此可知A 选项正确。 D篇：语篇类型：说明文。语篇导读：【人与社会】之科学与技术。新型电池锂离子电池的设计或 将提高其应用的功率和容量，其电池组件的电解质才是真正的游戏规则的改变者。 32.D细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“For the past four decades,though,it is the mental element lithium that has beaten all comers”可知，锂战胜了其他所有的金属元素。故选D。 33.B推理判断题。根据第六段第二句中的it found that the design was less likely to come unstuck from the electrodes than conventional collectors were可知，3D集成电器更不容易 从电极上脱落。故选B。 34.C推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，持久的突破可能到来。由此可知，作者的态度是充满 希望的。故选C。 35.C标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，为了制造出更好的电池，研究人员探索了锂离子电 池，并且不断改善提高其组件中的电解质，发现锂离子电池设计的性能能够得到提升。 第二节阅读填空（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 语篇类型：说明文。主题语境：【人与自我】一自我成长—停止做消耗精力的事。 文章大意：本文介绍了三种消耗精力的行为，分别为“同时进行多个任务”、“看上去不错的机会” 【高三英语·参考答案第2页（共9页）】 ·25-129C· 和“不适合的人际交往”。 核心素养：本文以停止做消耗精力的事为话题，引导学生集中精力对待最为重要的事，以期取得 成功。 36.G根据空前“Most people have constantly low energy reserves'”可知，G项“更糟的是，他们 以一种低效和浪费的方式错误地使用这些精力储备”，承上启下，符合语境。 37.C根据空后“Yet,research shows that the action of switching tasks itself actually costs attention'”为线索，本段说明，同时进行多个任务时，人们的注意力不会被平均分配，而会被 分散。因此C项符合文义。 38.E根据空前“good”opportunities和空后“They take away your precious energy reserves..,.” 可知，这些机会是有坏处的，因此选E项。 39.F根据本段主题“Relations with the wrong people”结合空后的句子可知，选F项。 40.D本段旨在总结上文并给出建议，结合空前“Focus all your energy and attention”和空后 “Keep several ties with individuals”可知，本空对应的建议是D项。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 BCCBA 46-50 DADCA 51-55 CABBD 语篇类型：记叙文。主题语境：【人与社会】一亲身经历一人际交往中的误解与理解。 文章大意：这个故事的主题是关于不要以貌取人和诚信的重要性。“我”通过一次亲身经历，发 现看似吝啬的店主实际上非常重视信任和责任，这打破了“我”对他之前的误解，并给了“我”一 个宝贵的教训：不要仅凭外表或初步印象来判断一个人。同时，该故事也强调了即使是很小的 金额，人与人之间也应该遵守承诺，做到诚实守信。 考点分布：动词6个（含1个短语），名词4个，形容词4个，副词1个 41.B.man解析：根据后文描述“不允许顾客欠一分钱”，可以推断出店主丈夫是一个吝啬的 (mean)、不允许顾客有任何欠款的人。与后文miser吝啬鬼相符。 42.C.approached解析：根据前后文和选项分析，主人公在接近(approach v.)商店的时候，他 最想要的是一瓶冷饮一Amul Kool。 43.C.shot解析：根据前文“我”想要一瓶冷饮，但经过仔细搜索后，仍然缺一分钱，所以此处 应该是“短缺(short)”一分钱。 44.B.strictness解析：根据前文提到的店主不允许顾客欠一分钱，可以推断出此处是指店主 对钱的严格(strictness)态度. 45.A.admitted解析：根据前文“我”缺一分钱，所以此处应该是“我”承认(admitted)自己缺一 分钱。 46.D.clouded解析：根据前文店主看着“我”，“我”看回他，但他保持沉默，以及后文“我”决定 回去拿钱，可以推断出他的眼神让“我”的希望变得黯淡(cloud v.使黯淡，使模糊)。 47.A.surprisingly解析：根据文意，原文描述了一个转折，即在我决定回去拿钱之后，店主却 出乎意料地允许我赊账。A选项surprisingly表示“令人惊讶地”，与原文中的语境相符。B 【高三英语·参考答案第3页（共9页）】 ·25-129C· 选项publicly公开地，C选项willingly乐意地，D选项firmly坚定地，C,D项虽然表达了一 种态度，但原文并未强调店主的态度，而是强调了他的行为出乎意料。 48.D.handed解析：根据后文提到的“我”还给店主一枚一分钱的硬币，可以推断出此处是指 “我”递给(handed)他硬币。 49.C.situation解析：根据前文提到的“我”缺一分钱，但店主还是让“我”拿走了饮料，可以推 断出此处是指“我”感谢店主当时考虑到了那种情况(situation)。 50.A.puzzled解析：根据后文店主对“我”归还一分钱的赞赏和惊讶可知，店主最初不明白 “我”的感谢，感到困惑(puzzled)。 5l.C.appreciation解析：“我”对于他因为“我”归还那一分钱而向“我”表达的赞赏之词感到惊 讶。appreciation感激；赏识，符合语境。 52.A.insignificant解析：根据后文提到的“后来没有人付这一分钱”，可以推断出此处是指人 们认为小额金钱不值得关注。insignificant不重要的：invaluable极宝贵的：irreplaceable不 可替代的；important重要的，故选A。 53.B.slips off解析：根据前文“后来没有人付这一分钱”，表明这件事从人们的脑海中消失或 不再被想起。slip off one's mind从某人的记忆消失；jump into one's mind跃入某人的脑 海；make up one's mind下定决心：stay on one's mind停留在某人的脑海中，故选B。 54.B.misjudged解析：根据后文提到的“他重视信任和责任，同时教给‘我'一个不要以貌取人 的宝贵教训”，可以推断出“我”之前对他有误解，即误判(misjudged)了他。 55.D.responsibility解析：根据语境，店主重视责任，即使是很小的金额，也要信守承诺，这也 是给“我”上的宝贵的一课。 第二节语法填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.was selected 57.recognition 58.a 59.Traditionally 60.with 61.resulting 62.who 63.what 64.enjoyed 65.to appreciate 语篇类型：说明文。主题语境：人与社会一文化与美食一中国传统美食—烧饼 文章大意：文章主要介绍了中国北方的一种传统面食一烧饼，它被国际媒体CN认可并评为 “世界50种最佳面包之一”，从而展示了中国美食文化的独特性和全球美食文化的多样性。文 章通过介绍烧饼的历史、制作方式和文化意义，强调了传统食品在现代世界中的地位和影响力。 56.was selected此空考查时态。烧饼作为一种传统的面食，是上周被CNN选为“世界上最好 的50种面包之一”的，因此这里应该使用一般过去时的被动语态，表示“被选中”。 57.recognition此空考查词性转换。这里需要填人一个名词作主语，recognition是recognize 的名词形式，意为“认可”。 58.a此空考查不定冠词。unique taste为单数名词，且unique的发音是以辅音音素开头的， 故填不定冠词a。 59.Traditionally此空需要填入一个副词，修饰后面的整个句子。Traditionally是tradition的 副词形式，意为“传统上，按照传统”。 60.with此空考查介词。此处表示面团是被油“和”或“用”什么来折叠和分层的。with表示 【高三英语·参考答案第4页（共9页）】 ·25-129C· “用：和…一起”的意思，符合语境。 6l.resulting此空考查非谓语。resulting in是现在分词形式短语，作结果状语，意为“导致”。 62.who此空考查定语从句。该句是非限制性定语从句，该空修饰前面的bread historian William Rubel,指人，用who充当关系代词。 63.what此空考查名词性从句。what在这里既引导表语从句，又在从句中作表语，表示“面包 基本上就是你的文化所说的那样”。 64.enjoyed此空考查非谓语。enjoyed是过去分词形式，表示被动，与主句主语shaobing之间 构成被动关系，表示“无论是作为街头小吃还是庆祝菜肴被享受”。 65.to appreciate此空考查非谓语。to appreciate是不定式短语，作目的状语，表示“为了欣赏 美食和传统”。 写作 第一节（满分15分） 【参考范文】 Dear

A．Sunbathe on a cloudless beach． B．View the dormant glacier-covered volcano． C．Hike to the top of actively erupting volcanoes． D．Experience the driest climate in Washington State． 22．Where are photography enthusiasts most likely to go? A．Mount Rainier National Park． B．Rocky Mountain National Park． C．Grand Teton National Park． D．Mammoth Cave National Park． 23．What makes Mammoth Cave National Park unique? A．The location in the west-central part of Kentucky． B．The total darkness and silence without any life． C．The variety of animals that live outside the caves． D．The vastest size of its cave system in the world． B In a dimly lit theater，shadows dance against the clear stage．A young actor，dressed in black，stands alone，barely visible，as anticipation fills the room．The stage is enveloped in darkness，save for a spotlight highlighting the actor’s hands，skillfully manipulating puppet strings．The puppets，of various sizes and styles，glide gracefully through the darkness．The actor’s movements are fluid and precise，bringing them to life with an almost magical display． This young actor is 33-year-old Hong Jindiao．His one-man show Riding Alone features over 20 handmade puppets of four types—string，glove，stick and shadow puppets．Hong narrates the show，sings，and manipulates his puppets to the rhythms of Chinese instruments． Hong was born and raised in Dongshi Town in Jinjiang，Quanzhou，a major place for string puppetry．His journey in puppetry began with nanyin，a musical art with slow，simple melodies performed on distinctive instruments like the dongxiao and the pipa．As a middle school student，he joined a nanyin class after school，and a year later，his teacher recommended that he study at the Quanzhou Art School，where he was drawn to the puppet class．The class needed male students，so he switched，beginning his journey in puppetry． “My parents were open-minded about my choice，so I fully devoted myself to what I love，” says Hong，whose family runs a seafood business．Though he received traditional puppetry training，Hong has a different perspective on the old art form．“I want to master different puppetry skills，” he says．“Old plays are fading，and audiences are becoming weaker．Few young actors can master and inherit all the traditional skills．” Hence，in 2018，Hong left Quanzhou to ride his bicycle along the coast through cities．Taking his puppets，with about 20，000 yuan in his pocket，he performed for children at welfare institutions for free．Many of these experiences left a mark ion him．His goal was to find a way to innovate his art and connect with audiences． 24．What does the young actor perform? A．He watches performance． B．He controls puppet strings． C．He highlights his hands． D．He fills the room with strings． 25．Why did Hong begin his puppet class? A．His parents persuaded him to study it． B．His teacher recommended him to study it． C．An accident caused him to study it． D．The male students drew him to the class． 26．Which of the following can best describe Hong? A．Indifferent． B．Passionate． C．Disgusting． D．Curious． 27．What is the text mainly about? A．Hong’s enthusiasm for puppetry． B．Hong’s splendid performance． C．Hong’s education experience． D．Hong’s travel experience． C Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss（时好时坏的）affair，with jewels hiding in inferior efforts．But researchers have found that switching to another video，or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one，actually makes people more bored． Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough，the lead author of the research，said boredom was closely linked to attention．“We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and hew engaged we want to be，” she said．“When people keep switching through videos，they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting．This can lead to increased feelings of boredom．” The results appear to chime with other studies：As the team notes，previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones，the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse． Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology：General，Tam and colleagues report bow they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1，200 participants．The first，involving 140 participants，revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring，while the second—an online survey involving 231 participants—suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make vie wing a video less boring． However，the team’s subsequent experiments suggest this is not the case．Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to，while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels of boredom when given a collection of fire-minute videos they could switch between，compared with a single 10-minute video． “Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to a void boredom，this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored，” she said．“Just as we pay for an immersive experience in a movie theatre，enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them．” 28．We feel bored when browsing on the Internet because of_______． A．the randomness of the videos B．less attention focused on the videos C．many advertisements in the videos D．the uselessness of the videos 29．What does the underlined phrase “chime with” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Begin with． B．Contrast with． C．End with． D．Correspond with． 30．What can we know from Tam’s experiments? A．In this article seven experiment results are shown． B．The option to skip a video may add to the boredom． C．People decline to switch videos despite the boredom． D．A single longer video leads to more boredom． 31．What does Tam imply in the last paragraph? A．The more we engage in a certain video，the more we may feel enjoyable． B．We should develop other hobbies to enjoy our free time on the Internet． C．We’d better go to a theatre to experience an immersive movie． D．The enjoyment often comes from swiping through videos． D In their quest to build a better battery，researchers have channeled their own way through the elements of the periodic table． The earliest batteries ran on two mental elements：nickel and cadmium．Successors have used everything from zinc and iron to sodium and lead．All have had what it takes to serve as a cathode（阴极）for a battery：namely，an ability to have electrons torn away from their atoms to be turned into electric current，leaving positively charged ions（离子）behind． For the past four decades，though，it is the mental element lithium that has beaten all comers．Lightweight and reactive，it serves as an ideal cathode component；lithium-ion （Li-ion）batteries are widely used in electricity grids and can be found in most of the world’s electric vehicles． Researchers believe better electrolytes（电解质）hold the key to big gains not just in Li-ion batteries，but in their successors．In June researchers at Asahi Kasei，a Japanese firm，found significant performance gains when they substituted the electrolyte used in a standard Li-ion battery with their proprietary alternative． At －40℃the batteries with the Asahi Kasei electrolyte preserved charge，though the carbonate-based electrolyte used in standard batteries did not．At 60℃，15 degrees above the maximum operating temperature for a Li-ion battery，the new electrolyte-filled batteries could undergo twice as many charging cycles before seeing a 20％drop in battery health． Perhaps the most promising battery innovations affect the least considered component：the current collector．When Addionics，an Israeli company，tested its 3D current collector，it found that the design was less likely to come unstuck from the electrodes than conventional collectors were．Among other things，that increased its capacity and ability to carry current．Tests have also shown that this design of collector could also help the latest generation of Li-ion batteries double the number of charging cycles they can undergo． Such advances，though significant，have yet to be produced at scale．If they can get over their risk，though，then lasting breakthroughs could await． 32．Which element does have the advantage over others in used batteries? A．Zinc． B．Cadmium． C．Lead． D．Lithium． 33．Which statement does Li-ion’s successor disagree with? A．New electrolyte doubles the number of charging cycles． B．New design was more likely to come unstuck． C．The charge can be preserved at －40℃． D．Electrolytes are the true game-changer． 34．What is the author’s attitude towards the Li-ion’s future development? A．Unconcerned． B．Doubtful． C．Positive． D．Neutral． 35．What is the text mainly about? A．Current collector will take the lead． B．Li-ion batteries are approved of by the public． C．New battery designs may improve their performance． D．New challenges in battery development are on the horizon． 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。 Stop Wasting Energy on Three Energy Wasters Energy and attention are limited resources for people to gain success．They run out easily and hard to be funded．Most people have constantly low energy reserves． 36 Here are three undeniable energy wasters you need to quit now． Multitasking Multitasking is a skill many people like to think they have． 37 when people have several tasks at hand，they tend to think each task will take an equal portion of their energy．Yet，research shows that the action of switching tasks itself actually costs attention．If you spend 10％ of your energy on one task，an additional 2％ or so is “dragged” behind．As you switch tasks，a little bit of attention is gone，leaving you less and less to work with． “Good” opportunities Some“good”opportunities make you say，“This could be fun．” 38 They take away your precious energy reserves for projects that don’t really matter．You can’t achieve your deepest and most meaningful work，while you are distracted doing sundry little projects． Relations with the wrong people 39 That’s not to say they’re bad people who don’t deserve your time．But maintaining relations with individuals that seek to monopolize your time to promote their projects is bad．If you’re focused on your friends，screenplay and your blog，your attention is divided too many times to allow yourself to be effective． Your energy and attention reserves are precious．Focus all your energy and attention on the most important projects． 40 Keep several ties with individuals．You’ll be glad you did when success comes along． A．You need to say “no” more． B．It is also a time-effective skill． C．But the truth is that it doesn’t work． D．Say no to seemingly good opportunities． E．But these particular opportunities are dangerous． F．Behind all those “good” opportunities are the people offering them． G．Worse still，they misspend these reserves in inefficient and wasteful ways． 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。 Near my college，a small shop run by a quiet couple was popular among students．The husband was

had，the cooler he appeared to be．His constant boasts about his friendships made his family laugh，but one day，his father decided to put his confidence to the test．With a hint of a smile，he challenged Martin，saying，“Martin，I bet you the bike you’ve always wanted that some of your friends are only your classmates and not true friends．” Martin，confident in his friendships，accepted the challenge without a second thought and asked，“But how can I test whether they are my friends?” His father replied with a mysterious smile，“I will give you a special item．” Martin curiously watched as his father walked towards him，appearing to carry something heavy．But Martin couldn’t see anything in his hands． His father explained，“You see this as a magic chair．It’s invisible and challenging to sit on it．Take it to your school，and if you manage to sit on it，the magic chair will be activated．Then you will be able to tell who are your real friends．” Martin was both excited and skeptical，but he took the challenge seriously． The next day，during lunchtime，Martin gathered his friends to form a circle and said， “Friends，you’ll see my magic．Watch closely．” Martin tried sitting on the invisible chair but he fell．Everyone laughed．He made another attempt but fell again．The laughs continued．He tried again and did not fall this time．Instead，he was floating in the air． Martin saw four of his friends—John，Abram，Juli，and Terry—carrying him up so he would not fall．While others who Martin thought were his friends did nothing but made fun of him every time he fell．Now he found out who were his real friends． 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。 Martin returned home and told the day’s story to his father．__________________________
