B As one of the longest-running and largest sci-fi-themed events globally, the 81*"World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) took place in Chengdu, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province in October, 2023, the first time that the conference has been held in China. “I think the Chengdu WorldCon offers a chance for the rest of the world to know more about Chinese sci-fi, and for China to learn more about sci-fi cultural products that are being made in the rest of the world,” says sinologist (汉学家) Agustín Alepuz Morales. “I hope that I can contribute to making Chinese sci-fi better known among the Spanish-speaking public, whether through this convention or in any other way,” the Spaniard says. Alepuz also goes by his Chinese name Xia Haiming. With over a decade of experience in translation including works, such as Death’s End, the third novel of Liu Cixin’ s Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, Alepuz has devoted his life to bridging the gap between China and the West. To truly understand China, Alepuz noted that one must bury oneself in its culture, language, and history. He has been living in Beijing since he first arrived as a student at Renmin University of China in 2007. After graduation, he decided to stay, and then worked in different fields including translation and language teaching. “So far it has been 16 years of fascinating experiences which have helped me grow both as a professional and as a person,” Alepuz notes. Alepuz was given the “Friend of Chinese Literature” award for his outstanding contributions to bringing Chinese literature to the world. When asked what attracted him to Chinese science fiction specifically, Alepuz explained that he spent most of his childhood and teenage years reading sci-fi novels and short stories, and thus he became interested in Chinese sci-fi from an early stage of his study of the Chinese language and culture. 4. What does Alepuz think of Chengdu WorldCon? A. It acts as a cultural bridge. B. It represents a powerful China. C. It builds a book selling platform. D. It popularizes the Spanish study. 5. What did Alepuz do as a sinologist? A. He wrote a sci-fi novel. B. He won a Hugo Award. C. He translated Death’s End. D. He traveled around China. 6. Which of the following can best describe Alepuz? A. Considerate. B. Outgoing. C. Generous. D. Passionate. 7. Why did Alepuz win the award of “Friend of Chinese Literature”? A. For his role in teaching. B. For his spread of Chinese culture. C. For advertising Spanish sci-fi. D. For writing short stories. C A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病) started producing her own insulin (胰岛素) less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells. She is the first person with the disease to be treated using cells from her own body. “I can eat sugar now,” said the woman, who lives in Tianjin, on a call with Nature. It has been more than a year since the transplant, and, she says , “I enjoy eating everything —especially hotpot.” James Shapiro, a transplant doctor and researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, says the results of the operation are astonishing. “They’ve greatly improved the health of the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand.” The study, published in Cell today, follows results from a separate group in Shanghai, China, who reported in April that they had successfully transplanted insulin-producing islets (胰岛) into a 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes. The islets were also obtained from reprogrammed stem cells taken from the man’s own body and he has since stopped taking insulin. The studies are among a handful of pioneering trials using stem cells to treat diabetes, which affects close to half a billion people worldwide. Most of them have type 2 diabetes, in which the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or its ability to use the hormone decreases. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks islet cells in the pancreas (胰腺). Islet transplants can treat the disease, but there aren’t enough donors to meet the growing demand, and receivers must use anti-rejection medicines to prevent the body from rejecting the donor tissue. Stem cells can be used to grow any tissue in the body and can be cultured indefinitely in the laboratory, which means they potentially offer a limitless source of pancreatic tissue. By using tissue made from a person’s own cells, researchers also hope to avoid the need for anti-rejection medicines. 8. What can we learn about the transplant from the first two paragraphs? A. It is widely adopted. B. It has bettered the woman’s condition. C It improves the function of insulin. D. It has changed the woman’s eating preferences. 9. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4? A. To show the potential dangers of diabetes. B. To analyze the impact of stem cells transplant. C. To stress the necessity of stem cells transplant. D. To compare the symptoms of two types of diabetes. 10. Why does the author mention “donors” and “receivers” in paragraph 5? A. To predict the effect of diabetes treatment. B. To explain the drawbacks of islet transplants. C. To present people’s attitude to islet transplants. D. To conclude a new method of diabetes treatment. 11. Why are the stem cells taken from the patient’s own body? A. To make the process easy. B. To relieve the patient’s pain. C. To save the patient’s money. D. To prevent transplant rejection. D Pushed by the rapid pace of today’s fashion industry, it’s no wonder many clothes buyers find themselves with a “closet (衣橱) of regrets”. All the clothes that don’t get worn can hang heavy on a consumer’s mind until finally thrown away. The trouble is, “There’s no ‘away’ for your clothes,” says Maxine Bédat, author of a 2021 book, Unraveled: The Life and Death of a Garment, and an activist trying to change the industry’s wasteful ways. A few statistics tell the story. Fashion is responsible for about 10% of the carbon emissions (排放物) that are tipping our planet toward climate disaster. It produces 20% of all industrial water pollution. And it creates unimaginable quantities of rubbish, with about a garbage truck of clothes burnt or buried in a landfill every second. Although some companies have voluntarily tried to minimize their environmental and social impact, little progress has been made. So, a bill known as the New York Fashion Act was introduced. It would help consumers better understand the impact of their purchases and require every large multinational fashion name operating in the state to map their global supply chains, disclose their environmental and social impacts, and set targets to cut emissions. Failure to meet the targets could bring a 2% fine on annual turnover. However, the bill is pro-business, argues Ms. Bédat, who worked with the bill’s co-sponsors to craft the measure, because it would level the playing field for companies to operate at the same environmental standards. Ms. Bédat is looking beyond the “more” of fashion to how people value their clothes. Her book closes with a vision of a future when “we will love our clothes because we have seized control of our own attention and removed the noise in our inboxes and on our social media channels that had taken our attention from our true needs and desires. And we bought them not to fill other holes in our lives, but from an aware and informed mindset.” That could be just enough to clear out anyone’s “closet of regrets.” 12. What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Regrets left by over-consumption, B. Worries generated by abandoning clothes. C. Anxiety produced by falling behind the trend. D. Problems caused by the fast-paced fashion industry, 13. What does the New York Fashion Act aim to achieve? A. Boost sales for fashion companies. B. Regulate global fashion supply chains, C. Raise environmental awareness of buyers and producers. D. Limit the expansion of the fashion companies in New York. 14. What does Bédat think of the bill to the fashion companies? A. Fair. B. Costly. C. Complex. D. Demanding. 15. How can the “closet of regrets” be reduced according to Bédat? A. Follow trends and buy more clothes. B. Value needs and make wise purchases. C. Plan budgets and shop eco-consciously. D. Stress functionality and cut down on buying. 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。 Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s more difficult to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its appeal, you can amuse yourself by surfing the social media without even leaving the sofa. ____16____ Feeling bored does have its benefits. ____17____ If you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby. This can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a sharp rise in creativity among people stuck at home. And, despite what parents and teachers may have told you when you were young, daydreaming is good for you. In fact, if you find it difficult to keep your mind focused during boring meetings or tasks, it could be a result of your impressive brain capacity. ____18____ Put simply, some people seem better equipped to focus on more than one thing at a time. Still, why daydream at the bus stop when you can surf your phone like everyone else? ____19____ But that’s not all: over time, it reduces your boredom tolerance (忍耐) levels and means you become less able to think creatively and merely notice what’s going on around you. Ultimately, if we take it for granted that there will always be something close at hand to entertain us, we start to lose the ability to think creatively. We stop coming up with new ideas and we’re less motivated to find ways to do something less boring instead. ____20____ A. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. B. Whisper it: we run the risk of becoming boring ourselves. C. Keeping busy is just what you need to generate your best ideas. D Remember: we’ re all making every effort to follow our dreams. E. Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. F. Frequent daydreamers scored higher on intellectual and creative ability. G. Spending every spare moment on the screen can harmfully affect your wellbeing. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One summer day in 2009, Megan Atherton was driving to her hometown of Pittsburgh.

Until then, I had a few good friends with whom I shared many of the same interests, but never in my life had I experienced a friendship quite like the one I shared with her. Lucy and I shared everything. At times it even seemed like we shared a brain. Lucy and I both had a thing for taking photos of our shadows in the moonlight. Some nights we would keep away from everyone else, and walk around school, the park, even train tracks with our cameras— searching for the perfect shot of our shadows cast on the sidewalk beside us. A few months before I met Lucy I was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare nervous system disease that would progress if left untreated. I was misdiagnosed for months. Consequently, a lot of time was wasted on the wrong treatments and I was getting worse and worse. Lucy was the first friend I ever told about my situation. “Eventually I might not be able to walk, be in the sun, digest food, eat like a normal person. Or worse,” I said as we sat on a bench one day after school. She was quiet for a moment. “Well, if you can’t walk, I’ll push you and if you can’t eat, I’ll have a food fight with you anyway, and if you become allergic to light we’ll still be able to go shadow-hunting. I’ll be your emotional sunscreen—SPF (防晒指数) 1,000.” “My SPF 1,000, huh?” “Yup,” she laughed. I hugged her. “Thank you.” Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and my health worsened. It was getting increasingly difficult for me to get around. Lucy was there with me, every “step” of the way. Finally, things got bad enough that I was forced to leave school. Hospital became my home away from home and I was often there for months at a time. I was very sick and unable to stay in contact with friends, even Lucy. Though I had a nurse to take care of me, I felt lonely. I needed someone to talk to, a friend. 注意： (1) 续写的词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at my hospital bedside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Lucy’s company and doctors’ proper treatment, things began to improve. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025 学年上学期期中质量监测 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡相应位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意：回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，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。每段对话后有一小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。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.

Alepuz also goes by his Chinese name Xia Haiming. With over a decade of experience in translation including works, such as Death’s End, the third novel of Liu Cixin’ s Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, Alepuz has devoted his life to bridging the gap between China and the West. To truly understand China, Alepuz noted that one must bury oneself in its culture, language, and history. He has been living in Beijing since he first arrived as a student at Renmin University of China in 2007. After graduation, he decided to stay, and then worked in different fields including translation and language teaching. “So far it has been 16 years of fascinating experiences which have helped me grow both as a professional and as a person,” Alepuz notes. Alepuz was given the “Friend of Chinese Literature” award for his outstanding contributions to bringing Chinese literature to the world. When asked what attracted him to Chinese science fiction specifically, Alepuz explained that he spent most of his childhood and teenage years reading sci-fi novels and short stories, and thus he became interested in Chinese sci-fi from an early stage of his study of the Chinese language and culture. 4. What does Alepuz think of Chengdu WorldCon? A. It acts as a cultural bridge. B. It represents a powerful China. C. It builds a book selling platform. D. It popularizes the Spanish study. 5. What did Alepuz do as a sinologist? A. He wrote a sci-fi novel. B. He won a Hugo Award. C. He translated Death’s End. D. He traveled around China. 6. Which of the following can best describe Alepuz? A. Considerate. B. Outgoing. C. Generous. D. Passionate. 7. Why did Alepuz win the award of “Friend of Chinese Literature”? A. For his role in teaching. B. For his spread of Chinese culture. C. For advertising Spanish sci-fi. D. For writing short stories. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了2023年在中国成都举办的第81届世界科幻大会（World Science Fiction Convention，简称WorldCon）以及一位致力于将中国科幻文学推向世界的西班牙汉学家Agustín Alepuz Morales的事迹和观点。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I think the Chengdu WorldCon offers a chance for the rest of the world to know more about Chinese sci-fi, and for China to learn more about sci-fi cultural products that are being made in the rest of the world.(我认为成都世界科幻大会为世界其他国家提供了一个更多了解中国科幻的机会，同时也为中国提供了更多了解世界其他国家制作的科幻文化产品的机会)”可知，Alepuz认为成都世界科幻大会为世界和中国提供了一个相互了解科幻文化的机会，即它充当了文化桥梁。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“With over a decade of experience in translation including works, such as Death’s End, the third novel of Liu Cixin’ s Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, Alepuz has devoted his life to bridging the gap between China and the West.(Alepuz有超过十年的翻译经验，包括作品如《死神永生》，这是刘慈欣获得雨果奖的科幻小说《三体》三部曲中的第三部，Alepuz一生致力于弥合中国与西方之间的鸿沟)”可知，作为汉学家，Alepuz翻译了《死神永生》。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Alepuz has devoted his life to bridging the gap between China and the West.(Alepuz一生致力于弥合中国与西方之间的鸿沟)”、第六段“So far it has been 16 years of fascinating experiences which have helped me grow both as a professional and as a person.(到目前为止，已经有了16年迷人的经历，这些经历帮助我在专业和个人方面成长)”和最后一段“When asked what attracted him to Chinese science fiction specifically, Alepuz explained that he spent most of his childhood and teenage years reading sci-fi novels and short stories, and thus he became interested in Chinese sci-fi from an early stage of his study of the Chinese language and culture.(当被问及是什么特别吸引他关注中国科幻时，Alepuz解释说，他童年和青少年时期的大部分时间都在阅读科幻小说和短篇小说，因此，他在学习中文和文化的早期阶段就对中国科幻产生了兴趣)”可知，这些都在说明Alepuz对科幻和翻译工作充满热情，愿意一生致力于弥合中国与西方之间的鸿沟，所以选项D“热情的”最能描述Alepuz。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Alepuz was given the “Friend of Chinese Literature” award for his outstanding contributions to bringing Chinese literature to the world.(Alepuz因其将中国文学推向世界的杰出贡献而获得了“中国文学之友”奖)”可知，Alepuz因其传播中国文化而获得了“中国文学之友”奖。故选B。 C A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病) started producing her own insulin (胰岛素) less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells. She is the first person with the disease to be treated using cells from her own body. “I can eat sugar now,” said the woman, who lives in Tianjin, on a call with Nature. It has been more than a year since the transplant, and, she says , “I enjoy eating everything —especially hotpot.” James Shapiro, a transplant doctor and researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, says the results of the operation are astonishing. “They’ve greatly improved the health of the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand.” The study, published in Cell today, follows results from a separate group in Shanghai, China, who reported in April that they had successfully transplanted insulin-producing islets (胰岛) into a 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes. The islets were also obtained from reprogrammed stem cells taken from the man’s own body and he has since stopped taking insulin. The studies are among a handful of pioneering trials using stem cells to treat diabetes, which affects close to half a billion people worldwide. Most of them have type 2 diabetes, in which the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or its ability to use the hormone decreases. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks islet cells in the pancreas (胰腺). Islet transplants can treat the disease, but there aren’t enough donors to meet the growing demand, and receivers must use anti-rejection medicines to prevent the body from rejecting the donor tissue. Stem cells can be used to grow any tissue in the body and can be cultured indefinitely in the laboratory, which means they potentially offer a limitless source of pancreatic tissue. By using tissue made from a person’s own cells, researchers also hope to avoid the need for anti-rejection medicines. 8. What can we learn about the transplant from the first two paragraphs? A. It is widely adopted. B. It has bettered the woman’s condition. C. It improves the function of insulin. D. It has changed the woman’s eating preferences. 9. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4? A. To show the potential dangers of diabetes. B. To analyze the impact of stem cells transplant. C. To stress the necessity of stem cells transplant. D. To compare the symptoms of two types of diabetes. 10. Why does the author mention “donors” and “receivers” in paragraph 5? A. To predict the effect of diabetes treatment. B. To explain the drawbacks of islet transplants. C. To present people’s attitude to islet transplants. D. To conclude a new method of diabetes treatment. 11. Why are the stem cells taken from the patient’s own body? A. To make the process easy. B. To relieve the patient’s pain. C. To save the patient’s money. D. To prevent transplant rejection. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项使用重编程干细胞治疗1型糖尿病的研究，以及这种治疗方法的潜在优势和挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段““I can eat sugar now,” said the woman, who lives in Tianjin, on a call with Nature.(“我现在可以吃糖了，”这位居住在天津的女士在接受《自然》（Nature）杂志的电话采访时说道。)”和文章第二段““They’ve greatly improved the health of the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand.”(病人的健康状况大大改善，之前她需要大量胰岛素。)”可知，移植手术改善了这位女士的病情。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The studies are among a handful of pioneering trials using stem cells to treat diabetes, which affects close to half a billion people worldwide. Most of them have type 2 diabetes, in which the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or its ability to use the hormone decreases. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks islet cells in the pancreas (胰腺).(这些研究是少数使用干细胞治疗糖尿病的开创性试验之一，糖尿病在全球影响着近5亿人。其中大多数患有2型糖尿病，即身体无法产生足够的胰岛素或利用胰岛素的能力下降。而在1型糖尿病中，免疫系统会攻击胰腺中的胰岛细胞。)”可知，第四段的写作目的是为了强调干细胞移植的必要性。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Islet transplants can treat the disease, but there aren’t enough donors to meet the growing demand, and receivers must use anti-rejection medicines to prevent the body from rejecting the donor tissue.(胰岛移植可以治疗这种疾病，但供体不足以满足日益增长的需求，受体必须使用抗排斥药物来防止身体排斥供体组织。)”可知，作者提到“供体”和“受体”是为了解释胰岛移植的缺点，即供体不足和受体必须使用抗排斥药物。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“By using tissue made from a person’s own cells, researchers also hope to avoid the need for anti-rejection medicines.(通过使用由患者自身细胞制成的组织，研究人员希望避免使用抗排斥药物)”可知，干细胞是从病人自己的体内取出是为了防止移植排斥。故选D。 D Pushed by the rapid pace of today’s fashion industry, it’s no wonder many clothes buyers find themselves with a “closet (衣橱) of regrets”. All the clothes that don’t get worn can hang heavy on a consumer’s mind until finally thrown away. The trouble is, “There’s no ‘away’ for your clothes,” says Maxine Bédat, author of a 2021 book, Unraveled: The Life and Death of a Garment, and an activist trying to change the industry’s wasteful ways. A few statistics tell the story. Fashion is responsible for about 10% of the carbon emissions (排放物) that are tipping our planet toward climate disaster. It produces 20% of all industrial water pollution. And it creates unimaginable quantities of rubbish, with about a garbage truck of clothes burnt or buried in a landfill every second. Although some companies have voluntarily tried to minimize their environmental and social impact, little progress has been made. So, a bill known as the New York Fashion Act was introduced. It would help consumers better understand the impact of their purchases and require every large multinational fashion name operating in the state to map their global supply chains, disclose their environmental and social impacts, and set targets to cut emissions. Failure to meet the targets could bring a 2% fine on annual turnover. However, the bill is pro-business, argues Ms. Bédat, who worked with the bill’s co-sponsors to craft the measure, because it would level the playing field for companies to operate at the same environmental standards. Ms. Bédat is looking beyond the “more” of fashion to how people value their clothes. Her book closes with a vision of a future when “we will love our clothes because we have seized control of our own attention and removed the noise in our inboxes and on our social media channels that had taken our attention from our true needs and desires. And we bought them not to fill other holes in our lives, but from an aware and informed mindset.” That could be just enough to clear out anyone’s “closet of regrets.” 12. What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Regrets left by over-consumption, B. Worries generated by abandoning clothes. C. Anxiety produced by falling behind the trend. D. Problems caused by the fast-paced fashion industry, 13. What does the New York Fashion Act aim to achieve? A. Boost sales for fashion companies. B. Regulate global fashion supply chains, C. Raise environmental awareness of buyers and producers. D. Limit the expansion of the fashion companies in New York. 14. What does Bédat think of the bill to the fashion companies? A. Fair. B. Costly. C. Complex. D. Demanding. 15. How can the “closet of regrets” be reduced according to Bédat? A. Follow trends and buy more clothes. B. Value needs and make wise purchases. C. Plan budgets and shop eco-consciously. D. Stress functionality and cut down on buying. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了快速发展的时尚业带来的问题以及消费者和企业可采取的应对措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“Pushed by the rapid pace of today’s fashion industry, it’s no wonder many clothes buyers find themselves with a “closet (衣橱) of regrets”(在当今时尚产业飞速发展的推动下，难怪很多消费者会发现自己有了一个 “遗憾的衣橱”)可知，快节奏的时尚业带来的各种问题。结合第二段中提供的一些数据，从而推知，统计数据说明了这一点。所以“story”指的是快节奏的时尚业带来的各种问题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“It would help consumers better understand the impact of their purchases and require every large multinational fashion name operating in the state to map their global supply chains, disclose their environmental and social impacts, and set targets to cut emissions.”(这将帮助消费者更好地了解他们的购买行为所产生的影响，并要求在该州运营的所有大型跨国时尚品牌绘制全球供应链图，披露其环境和社会影响，并设定减排目标。)可知，《纽约时尚业法令》的目的是为了提高企业和消费者的环保意识。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“However, the bill is pro-business, argues Ms. Bédat, who worked with the bill’s co-sponsors to craft the measure, because it would level the playing field for companies to operate at the same environmental standards.”(然而，贝达特女士认为，这项法案对企业有利，因为该法案将使企业在相同的环保标准下公平竞争。贝达特女士曾与法案的共同提案人合作起草了这项措施。)可知，贝达特女士认为法案对时尚公司来说是公平的。故选A项。 15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“Her book closes with a vision of a future when ‘we will love our clothes because we have seized control of our own attention and removed the noise in our inboxes and on our social media channels that had taken our attention from our true needs and desires. And we bought them not to fill other holes in our lives, but from an aware and informed mindset.’”(她的书以一个未来的愿景结束：“我们会爱上我们的衣服，因为我们已经控制了自己的注意力，消除了收件箱和社交媒体渠道上的噪音，这些噪音把我们的注意力从真正的需求和欲望上转移开。我们买衣服不是为了填补我们生活中的其他漏洞，而是出于一种有意识和知情的心态。”)可知，只要我们购买衣物时是有意识的知情的状态下做出的明智的选择而不是受外界的影响，我们就不会后悔，就会爱上自己的衣物。故选B项。 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。 Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s more difficult to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its appeal, you can amuse yourself by surfing the social media without even leaving the sofa. ____16____ Feeling bored does have its benefits. ____17____ If you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby. This can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a sharp rise in creativity among people stuck at home. And, despite what parents and teachers may have told you when you were young, daydreaming is good for you. In fact, if you find it difficult to keep your mind focused during boring meetings or tasks, it could be a result of your impressive brain capacity. ____18____ Put simply, some people seem better equipped to focus on more than one thing at a time. Still, why daydream at the bus stop when you can surf your phone like everyone else? ____19____ But that’s not all: over time, it reduces your boredom tolerance (忍耐) levels and means you become less able to think creatively and merely notice what’s going on around you. Ultimately, if we take it for granted that there will always be something close at hand to entertain us, we start to lose the ability to think creatively. We stop coming up with new ideas and we’re less motivated to find ways to do something less boring instead. ____20____ A. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. B. Whisper it: we run the risk of becoming boring ourselves. C. Keeping busy is just what you need to generate your best ideas. D. Remember: we’ re all making every effort to follow our dreams. E. Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. F. Frequent daydreamers scored higher on intellectual and creative ability. G. Spending every spare moment on the screen can harmfully affect your wellbeing. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无聊感及其益处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s more difficult to be bored(现在很难觉得无聊)”和“you can amuse yourself by surfing the social media without even leaving the sofa(你甚至不用离开沙发就可以在社交媒体上消遣自己)”和下文“Feeling bored does have its benefits(感到无聊确实有其好处)”可知，上文提到了人们无聊时会做的一些消遣，下文提到感到无聊有好处，空处和上文形成转折关系，指出为了让自己不无聊一直消遣自己并不一定是好事。所以选项A“但那不一定是一件好事”符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 空处是段落首句，起到承上启下的作用。根据下文“If you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby.(如果你决定电视上没有什么值得看的，你可能会选择关掉电视，通过培养一个新爱好来自己娱乐自己。)”可知，下文举例说明无聊会促使人们进步，所以选项E“无聊促使你去寻找一些不那么无聊的事情来做”符合语境，并且“Being bored motivates you”中的“being bored”与上文提到的“Feeling bored”相呼应。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“if you find it difficult to keep your mind focused during boring meetings or tasks, it could be a result of your impressive brain capacity.(如果你发现在无聊的会议或任务中很难集中注意力，那可能是因为你惊人的大脑容量。)”和下文“Put simply, some people seem better equipped to focus on more than one thing at a time.(简而言之，有些人似乎更擅长同时关注多件事情。)”可知，选项承接上文说明什么样的人脑容量大，有创造力，所以选项F“经常做白日梦的人在智力和创造力方面得分更高”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Still, why daydream at the bus stop when you can surf your phone like everyone else.(然而，当你可以像其他人一样在手机上冲浪时，为什么还要在公共汽车站做白日梦呢。)”和下文“But that’s not all: over time, it reduces your boredom tolerance levels and means you become less able to think creatively and merely notice what’s going on around you.(但这还不是全部：随着时间的推移，它会降低你对无聊的容忍度，这意味着你变得不那么有创意，只能注意到周围发生的事情。)”可推测出空处是在说明在手机上冲浪的坏处，所以选项G“把每一个空闲的时刻都花在屏幕上会对你的健康产生有害影响”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 空处是段落尾句，起到总结上文的作用。根据上文“Ultimately, if we take it for granted that there will always be something close at hand to entertain us, we start to lose the ability to think creatively. We stop coming up with new ideas and we’re less motivated to find ways to do something less boring instead.(最终，如果我们理所当然地认为身边总会有东西来娱乐我们，我们就会开始失去创造性思考的能力。我们不再想出新的想法，也不太有动力去寻找不那么无聊的事情来做。)”可知，如果我们总是被娱乐，我们就会失去创造性思考的能力，由此可推测出空处是在总结说我们会变得无聊，所以选项B“小声告诉你：我们面临着让自己变得无聊的风险”符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One summer day in 2009, Megan Atherton was driving to her hometown of Pittsburgh.

I’m writing to express my concerns about your plan to ban electronic dictionaries in our English reading class. I believe banning electronic dictionaries may not be the best approach. Firstly, electronic dictionaries provide quick access to definitions and examples, which can greatly enhance our reading comprehension. Secondly, they often include pronunciation guides, helping us improve our pronunciation and listening skills. Instead of banning them, I suggest setting limits on their use, such as allowing them only for unknown words or during initial readings. This way, we can still benefit from their convenience while also practicing our language skills. Thank you for considering my opinion.

Until then, I had a few good friends with whom I shared many of the same interests, but never in my life had I experienced a friendship quite like the one I shared with her. Lucy and I shared everything. At times it even seemed like we shared a brain. Lucy and I both had a thing for taking photos of our shadows in the moonlight. Some nights we would keep away from everyone else, and walk around school, the park, even train tracks with our cameras— searching for the perfect shot of our shadows cast on the sidewalk beside us. A few months before I met Lucy, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare nervous system disease that would progress if left untreated. I was misdiagnosed for months. Consequently, a lot of time was wasted on the wrong treatments and I was getting worse and worse. Lucy was the first friend I ever told about my situation. “Eventually I might not be able to walk, be in the sun, digest food, eat like a normal person. Or worse,” I said as we sat on a bench one day after school. She was quiet for a moment. “Well, if you can’t walk, I’ll push you and if you can’t eat, I’ll have a food fight with you anyway, and if you become allergic to light we’ll still be able to go shadow-hunting. I’ll be your emotional sunscreen—SPF (防晒指数) 1,000.” “My SPF 1,000, huh?” “Yup,” she laughed. I hugged her. “Thank you.” Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and my health worsened. It was getting increasingly difficult for me to get around. Lucy was there with me, every “step” of the way. Finally, things got bad enough that I was forced to leave school. Hospital became my home away from home and I was often there for months at a time. I was very sick and unable to stay in contact with friends, even Lucy. Though I had a nurse to take care of me, I felt lonely. I needed someone to talk to, a friend. 注意： (1) 续写的词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at my hospital bedside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Lucy’s company and doctors’ proper treatment, things began to improve. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at my hospital bedside. It was Lucy, with her familiar smile and a bag full of goodies. She looked at me with those warm, comforting eyes and said, “Hey, how’s it going? I’ve brought you some of your favorite books and snacks. I know you’re probably bored here, so I thought we could catch up and maybe even read a chapter together.” Her words were like a ray of sunshine breaking through the darkness of my hospital room. I felt my spirits lift as we talked and laughed, sharing stories of our old adventures and dreaming up new ones. Lucy’s visit was a reminder that even in the darkest times, friends can bring light and hope. With Lucy’s company and doctors’ proper treatment, things began to improve. My strength slowly returned, and I was able to spend more time out of bed. Lucy and I continued to bond, sharing our thoughts and fears about the future. She was always there to listen, to offer advice, and to remind me that I was not alone. Slowly but surely, I began to regain my independence. With Lucy’s unwavering support, I was able to face my illness with courage and determination. I knew that no matter what challenges came my way, I had a friend who would stand by me until the end. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与Lucy在九年级相识后建立的深厚友谊，以及作者在被诊断出患有罕见神经系统疾病后，Lucy给予的无私支持和陪伴。作者与Lucy兴趣相投，共享生活的点滴，但在作者面临疾病困扰时，Lucy始终不离不弃，成为作者情感上的坚强后盾。作者的病情逐渐恶化，甚至不得不离开学校长时间住院治疗，与朋友们失去联系，作者感到很孤独。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，一位出乎意料的客人来到了我的病床前。”可知，第一段可描写Lucy的到访对作者产生的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Lucy的陪伴和医生妥善的治疗下，情况开始好转。”可知，第二段可描写作者在Lucy的陪伴下逐渐恢复以及对自己的疾病和友谊的感悟。 2.续写线索：Lucy看望作者——聊天——逐渐恢复——勇敢面对疾病——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 购买：buy/purchase 返回：return/go back 面对：face/confront 情绪类 孤独的：alone/solitary 决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lucy and I continued to bond, sharing our thoughts and fears about the future.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] I knew that no matter what challenges came my way, I had a friend who would stand by me until the end.（运用了that引导宾语从句，no matter what引导让步状语从句，who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
