D. About Time. B I don’t recall exactly when air travel became depressing. From frequently canceled flights and endless fees, to narrow seating and absent food service, I find the experience upsetting. On one such recent flight, I had a short stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina. Like most airports, it housed a mad rush of travelers. But there was an inviting shine: Around the crowded hall the airport had placed a long row of rocking chairs. With two hours until my connecting flight, I immediately claimed one, seated myself, and began to gently rock as I observed the passing scene. I appreciated that I had been gifted an oasis (乐土) of calm among the chaos And then, as if the rockers weren’t enough, the second act: There was a grand piano on the other side of the hall. An older man appeared, sat down, and began to play. His touch was so loving, so invested with feeling, that I no longer felt that I was in an airport. Rather, the pianist and I were now in the oasis together. I no longer heard the noise of the crowd, but only the beautiful pieces of music. But the benefit of the man’s music went beyond the lifting of my spirits. There was something larger and more magical at work. As soon as the music began, the entire tone of the airport changed. People began to walk more slowly. Many paused to regard the pianist. A man put down his bags, placed his hands on his hips, and began to dance to the music. Now, at last, we were all in this together. I rocked, the man danced, the pianist played, and the rapid pace of the crowd slowed to something like a walk in a familiar neighborhood. My two-hour stay passed all too quickly, but the pianist played on. For a moment I dithered, wondering whether I should choose between my flight and more music, more rocking. But I had family waiting for me back in Maine. This flight was a pleasure or an adventure. 4. Why did the author have to stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport? A. To change planes. B. To enjoy rocking chairs. C. To experience the oasis of calm. D. To watch floods of travelers. 5. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. He played several pieces of music. B. He was absorbed in the piano music. C. He shared his pleasure with the man D. He narrowly missed his flight. 6. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Music kept the author’s spirits up. B. Many passengers put off their flights. C. Many passengers danced to the music. D. Music changed the atmosphere of the airport. 7. What does the underlined word “dithered” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Hesitated. B. Concluded. C. Insisted. D. Appreciated. C It is not science fiction or a prediction about the distant future. A new AI system that changes brain activity into text is here to revolutionize the way we think about communication, and has the potential to become one of the technological milestones of our era. Many might remember Stephen Hawking, the British physicist, world-famous for his work on space and time, who used AI technology that helped him speak by detecting the tensions in his cheek muscles. Well, what’s coming next is even more complex. Neuroscientists (神经学家) at the University of California, San Francisco, have developed a new AI system that can turn neural waves into written words. These findings were revealed in the Nature Neuroscience journal, one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary science journals, in March this year. Science Alert, a source for the latest science news, discusses how the system uses brain implants (植入物) to track neural activity while someone is speaking. That data is then changed into numbers, which are then translated into words and sentences. The algorithm (算法) has reached an accuracy level of 97 percent, which presents fewer errors than the average human transcriber. The numbers show high levels of accuracy. This is the closest that technology has ever come to being able to“read someone’s mind”. For now, the technology only works when someone is speaking aloud, but researchers believe that it could eventually be developed to be used for those individuals who, for some reason, are unable to speak or type. This discovery could potentially transform the lives of countless individuals for the better, greatly improving their ability to communicate with others. While there are numerous challenges ahead, this new study combining neuroscience and machine learning using artificial intelligence, shows how fundamental technology is to improving people’s lives. If we try to put ourselves in the shoes of those who can’t speak for a moment, we will understand why this discovery has the potential to be such an innovative one. 8. What does the story of Stephen Hawking indicate? A. The new AI system is easy to develop. B. The new AI system can predict the future. C. The AI can help recognize people’s voices. D. The AI technology has played a role in reality. 9. How does the new AI system help convey data according to Science Alert? A. By turning brain signals into words. B. By changing words into neural waves. C. By improving the speaker’s thinking ability. D. By changing the process of brain activities. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI system? A. Its popularity. B. Its high efficiency. C. Its complexity. D. Its potentiality. 11 What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. We can completely read people’s mind by AI. B. The brain implant can restore people’s voices. C. The new AI system is a promising breakthrough in technology. D. Technology is the only way to improve human beings’ lives. D Global warming is causing problems for birds in Sweden and elsewhere. Warmer springs mean that caterpillars (毛毛虫) hatch and grow earlier compared with just a few decades ago. This has consequences for birds that cannot eat proper caterpillars. Therefore, when the food supply runs out at an ever earlier time in the spring, more and more baby birds starve during the breeding (繁殖) season. This is a big problem for migratory birds that spend winters in Africa, as they do not know how early spring arrives in Sweden. “We thought that perhaps the migratory birds could fly further north until they find a place with suitable well-developed caterpillars,” says Nilsson, biology researcher at Lund University in Sweden. To test this in practice, the researchers decided to help some pied flycatchers (斑背鹟) along the way. The biologists caught pied flycatchers that had arrived prior to breeding in the Netherlands. The birds were then driven during the night to Vombs Fure, an area of pine forest outside Lund in Skane, where they were released. The peak of caterpillar availability in Skane is about two weeks later than in the Netherlands — a distance of around 600 kilometres that a pied flycatcher could cover in just two nights. “The birds that were given a lift from the Netherlands to Skane synchronized (同步) very well with the food peak! As they started to breed about 10 days earlier the Swedish pied flycatchers, they had a dramatically better breeding success than the Swedish ones as well as a better success than the pied flycatchers that remained in the Netherlands,” says Nilsson. In addition, it was shown that the baby birds of the pied flycatchers that had received migration assistance arrived earlier during the migration season to find Skane. “The number of small birds, particularly migratory birds, has decreased drastically throughout Europe. By flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier,” adds Nilsson. 12. What’s the problem for migratory birds spending winters in Africa? A. Global warming affects their natural habitats. B. Their babies suffer a lot from food shortage. C. They return to Sweden earlier compared with decades ago. D. Only a few of them can return to the northern habitat as usual. 13. Why were some pied flycatchers driven to Vombs Fure? A. They were so timed that they can’t tally anymore. B. They preferred to the warmer climate there. C. They could be provided with sufficient food resources. D. They were misled by the researchers during the night. 14. What’s Nilsson’s attitude towards migratory birds’ flying further north? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Neutral. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Migratory Birds Are at the Great Risk of Global Warming B. Scientists Are Using High-Tech Tools to Study Migratory Birds C. Human Beings Can Live in Harmony with Migratory Birds D. Migratory Birds Can Be Taught to Adjust to Climate Change 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。 HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY BOOK YOU READ Reading books can be one of life’s greatest pleasures and learning experiences. ____16____.

But after one particular day, when a st range incident happened, it changed. I learned a lot on that day. What is the awful incident? Well, it all started when Miss Beth introduced us to a new exchange student, Pei. “She is very tall,” I said to Cherry. “Speaking of heights, wouldn’t she be perfect in the cheerleading team?” Cherry asked. “Maybe... Well, we’d better keep quiet. Miss Beth is looking at us,” I said. Surprisingly, I was assigned to guide the new girl around. During the break, I wanted to start a conversation with Pei, so I quickly approached her. “Hey, Pei,” I said. “Hello,” she replied politely. I had a short chat with her and she seemed to be a nice person. Before going home, I showed Pei around. The next day, I was very excited because it was April Fool’s Day. I planned to trick my friends with Pei since she was new. I really hoped that she would cooperate with me. So, I quickly ran to her before our English period started. Unfortunately, Matt, a naughty schoolboy came to our classroom, realising that there wasn’t any teacher in. “Go away!” I shouted. As usual, he ignored that. I took Pei’s notebook and hit Matt until it fell on the floor. Well... it wasn’t actually a notebook. It was Pei’s diary. “Ooh, it’s a diary!” shouted Matt. Then, he started to read out Pei’s diary loudly. “I really think Mal is bossy and…” Matt kept reading all of Pei’s inner thoughts. I could see that Pei was embarrassed. She grabbed her diary from Matt and ran outside the classroom. I was quite upset, and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. After a while, I jumped out of seat to follow her just to say sorry. However, I couldn’t find her anywhere before the school bell rang, I had to walk back to the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, I went to the staffroom to meet Miss Beth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高三期中考试 英语试题 考生注意： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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.

From frequently canceled flights and endless fees, to narrow seating and absent food service, I find the experience upsetting. On one such recent flight, I had a short stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina. Like most airports, it housed a mad rush of travelers. But there was an inviting shine: Around the crowded hall the airport had placed a long row of rocking chairs. With two hours until my connecting flight, I immediately claimed one, seated myself, and began to gently rock as I observed the passing scene. I appreciated that I had been gifted an oasis (乐土) of calm among the chaos And then, as if the rockers weren’t enough, the second act: There was a grand piano on the other side of the hall. An older man appeared, sat down, and began to play. His touch was so loving, so invested with feeling, that I no longer felt that I was in an airport. Rather, the pianist and I were now in the oasis together. I no longer heard the noise of the crowd, but only the beautiful pieces of music. But the benefit of the man’s music went beyond the lifting of my spirits. There was something larger and more magical at work. As soon as the music began, the entire tone of the airport changed. People began to walk more slowly. Many paused to regard the pianist. A man put down his bags, placed his hands on his hips, and began to dance to the music. Now, at last, we were all in this together. I rocked, the man danced, the pianist played, and the rapid pace of the crowd slowed to something like a walk in a familiar neighborhood. My two-hour stay passed all too quickly, but the pianist played on. For a moment I dithered, wondering whether I should choose between my flight and more music, more rocking. But I had family waiting for me back in Maine. This flight was a pleasure or an adventure. 4. Why did the author have to stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport? A. To change planes. B. To enjoy rocking chairs. C. To experience the oasis of calm. D. To watch floods of travelers. 5. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. He played several pieces of music. B. He was absorbed in the piano music. C. He shared his pleasure with the man D. He narrowly missed his flight. 6. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Music kept the author’s spirits up. B. Many passengers put off their flights. C. Many passengers danced to the music. D. Music changed the atmosphere of the airport. 7. What does the underlined word “dithered” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Hesitated. B. Concluded. C. Insisted. D. Appreciated. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在夏洛特·道格拉斯国际机场的一段经历，在机场内摆放的摇椅和钢琴演奏的音乐给作者和其他乘客带来了片刻的宁静和放松，使机场的氛围发生了改变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On one such recent flight, I had a short stay at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.(在最近的一次飞行中，我在北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特·道格拉斯国际机场短暂停留。)”和“With two hours until my connecting flight, I immediately claimed one, seated myself, and began to gently rock as I observed the passing scene.(距离我的转机还有两个小时，我立刻占了一个，坐下来，一边轻轻摇晃，一边观察过往的景象。)”可知，作者在夏洛特·道格拉斯国际机场停留是为了转机。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And then, as if the rockers weren’t enough, the second act: There was a grand piano on the other side of the hall. An older man appeared, sat down, and began to play. His touch was so loving, so invested with feeling, that I no longer felt that I was in an airport. Rather, the pianist and I were now in the oasis together. I no longer heard the noise of the crowd, but only the beautiful pieces of music.(然后，好像摇椅还不够，第二幕上演了：大厅的另一边有一架大钢琴。一位老人出现，坐下，开始弹奏。他的触键充满了爱，充满了情感，我不再觉得自己在机场。相反，钢琴家和我现在在这个绿洲里。我不再听到人群的喧闹声，只听到美妙的音乐。)”可推断，作者沉浸在了这位老人弹奏的钢琴音乐中。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“But the benefit of the man’s music went beyond the lifting of my spirits. There was something larger and more magical at work. As soon as the music began, the entire tone of the airport changed. People began to walk more slowly. Many paused to regard the pianist. A man put down his bags, placed his hands on his hips, and began to dance to the music. Now, at last, we were all in this together.(但这位老人的音乐的好处不仅仅在于振奋了我的精神。还有更大、更神奇的东西在起作用。音乐一开始，整个机场的气氛就变了。人们开始走得更慢了。许多人停下来看着钢琴家。一个男人放下行李，双手叉腰，开始随着音乐跳舞。现在，我们终于在一起了。)”可知，这位老人的音乐改变了机场的氛围，使得机场的紧张气氛得到了缓解。故选D。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“wondering whether I should choose between my flight and more music, more rocking(我在想，我是应该选择我的航班，还是更多的音乐和更激烈的摇滚。)”可知，作者正在决定是否登机，也就是说作者在犹豫，所以“dithered”在这里的意思是“犹豫的（Hesitated）”。故选A。 C It is not science fiction or a prediction about the distant future. A new AI system that changes brain activity into text is here to revolutionize the way we think about communication, and has the potential to become one of the technological milestones of our era. Many might remember Stephen Hawking, the British physicist, world-famous for his work on space and time, who used AI technology that helped him speak by detecting the tensions in his cheek muscles. Well, what’s coming next is even more complex. Neuroscientists (神经学家) at the University of California, San Francisco, have developed a new AI system that can turn neural waves into written words. These findings were revealed in the Nature Neuroscience journal, one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary science journals, in March this year. Science Alert, a source for the latest science news, discusses how the system uses brain implants (植入物) to track neural activity while someone is speaking. That data is then changed into numbers, which are then translated into words and sentences. The algorithm (算法) has reached an accuracy level of 97 percent, which presents fewer errors than the average human transcriber. The numbers show high levels of accuracy. This is the closest that technology has ever come to being able to“read someone’s mind”. For now, the technology only works when someone is speaking aloud, but researchers believe that it could eventually be developed to be used for those individuals who, for some reason, are unable to speak or type. This discovery could potentially transform the lives of countless individuals for the better, greatly improving their ability to communicate with others. While there are numerous challenges ahead, this new study combining neuroscience and machine learning using artificial intelligence, shows how fundamental technology is to improving people’s lives. If we try to put ourselves in the shoes of those who can’t speak for a moment, we will understand why this discovery has the potential to be such an innovative one. 8. What does the story of Stephen Hawking indicate? A. The new AI system is easy to develop. B. The new AI system can predict the future. C. The AI can help recognize people’s voices. D. The AI technology has played a role in reality. 9. How does the new AI system help convey data according to Science Alert? A. By turning brain signals into words. B. By changing words into neural waves. C. By improving the speaker’s thinking ability. D. By changing the process of brain activities. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI system? A. Its popularity. B. Its high efficiency. C. Its complexity. D. Its potentiality. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. We can completely read people’s mind by AI. B. The brain implant can restore people’s voices. C. The new AI system is a promising breakthrough in technology. D. Technology is the only way to improve human beings’ lives. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述加州大学旧金山分校的神经学专家开发了一种新的AI系统，可以将神经波转化为文字。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Many might remember Stephen Hawking, the British physicist, world-famous for his work on space and time, who used AI technology that helped him speak by detecting the tensions in his cheek muscles. (许多人可能还记得英国物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金，他以在空间和时间方面的工作而闻名，他使用人工智能技术通过检测脸颊肌肉的紧张来帮助他说话。)”可知，文章中提到斯蒂芬·霍金的故事是要说明AI技术已经应用于现实生活中了。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Science Alert, a source for the latest science news, discusses how the system uses brain implants (植入物) to track neural activity while someone is speaking. That data is then changed into numbers, which are then translated into words and sentences. (《科学警报》是最新科学新闻的来源，讨论了该系统如何在有人说话时使用大脑植入物来跟踪神经活动。然后，这些数据被转换为数字，然后被翻译成单词和句子。)”可知，根据《科学警报》，新的人工智能系统是通过将大脑信号转化为文字来达到传达数据的目的。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The algorithm (算法) has reached an accuracy level of 97 percent, which presents fewer errors than the average human transcriber. The numbers show high levels of accuracy. This is the closest that technology has ever come to being able to“read someone’s mind”. (该算法已达到97%的准确率，其错误率低于人类转录员的平均水平。这些数字显示了很高的准确性。这是技术有史以来最接近“读懂某人的想法”的一次。)”可知，这一段主要介绍这种算法的准确性很高，所以强调了新的人工智能系统的高效。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While there are numerous challenges ahead, this new study combining neuroscience and machine learning using artificial intelligence, shows how fundamental technology is to improving people’s lives. If we try to put ourselves in the shoes of those who can’t speak for a moment, we will understand why this discovery has the potential to be such an innovative one. (尽管前方有许多挑战，但这项将神经科学和使用人工智能的机器学习相结合的新研究表明，基础技术是如何改善人们生活的。如果我们试着把自己放在那些一刻都不会说话的人的立场上，我们就会明白为什么这一发现有可能成为一个如此创新的发现。)”可知，新的人工智能系统是一项有前景的技术突破。故选C。 D Global warming is causing problems for birds in Sweden and elsewhere. Warmer springs mean that caterpillars (毛毛虫) hatch and grow earlier compared with just a few decades ago. This has consequences for birds that cannot eat proper caterpillars. Therefore, when the food supply runs out at an ever earlier time in the spring, more and more baby birds starve during the breeding (繁殖) season. This is a big problem for migratory birds that spend winters in Africa, as they do not know how early spring arrives in Sweden. “We thought that perhaps the migratory birds could fly further north until they find a place with suitable well-developed caterpillars,” says Nilsson, biology researcher at Lund University in Sweden. To test this in practice, the researchers decided to help some pied flycatchers (斑背鹟) along the way. The biologists caught pied flycatchers that had arrived prior to breeding in the Netherlands. The birds were then driven during the night to Vombs Fure, an area of pine forest outside Lund in Skane, where they were released. The peak of caterpillar availability in Skane is about two weeks later than in the Netherlands — a distance of around 600 kilometres that a pied flycatcher could cover in just two nights. “The birds that were given a lift from the Netherlands to Skane synchronized (同步) very well with the food peak! As they started to breed about 10 days earlier the Swedish pied flycatchers, they had a dramatically better breeding success than the Swedish ones as well as a better success than the pied flycatchers that remained in the Netherlands,” says Nilsson. In addition, it was shown that the baby birds of the pied flycatchers that had received migration assistance arrived earlier during the migration season to find Skane. “The number of small birds, particularly migratory birds, has decreased drastically throughout Europe. By flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier,” adds Nilsson. 12. What’s the problem for migratory birds spending winters in Africa? A. Global warming affects their natural habitats. B. Their babies suffer a lot from food shortage. C. They return to Sweden earlier compared with decades ago. D. Only a few of them can return to the northern habitat as usual. 13. Why were some pied flycatchers driven to Vombs Fure? A. They were so timed that they can’t tally anymore. B. They preferred to the warmer climate there. C. They could be provided with sufficient food resources. D. They were misled by the researchers during the night. 14. What’s Nilsson’s attitude towards migratory birds’ flying further north? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Neutral. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Migratory Birds Are at the Great Risk of Global Warming B. Scientists Are Using High-Tech Tools to Study Migratory Birds C. Human Beings Can Live in Harmony with Migratory Birds D. Migratory Birds Can Be Taught to Adjust to Climate Change 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了全球变暖对瑞典和其他地方的鸟类产生的影响，以及科学家如何通过实验帮助鸟类应对这一挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Therefore, when the food supply runs out at an ever earlier time in the spring, more and more baby birds starve during the breeding (繁殖 ) season. This is a big problem for migratory birds that spend winters in Africa, as they do not know how early spring arrives in Sweden.(因此，当食物供应在春天较早的时候耗尽时，越来越多的幼鸟会在繁殖季节饿死。对于在非洲过冬的候鸟来说，这是一个大问题，因为它们不知道瑞典的早春是如何到来的)”可知，因为早春在非洲过冬的候鸟回到瑞典时，给幼鸟食物可能已经耗尽了，所以非洲过冬候鸟的幼鸟会遇到食物短缺的问题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The birds were then driven during the night to Vombs Fure, an area of pine forest outside Lund in Skane, where they were released. The peak of caterpillar availability in Skane is about two weeks later than in the Netherlands — a distance of around 600 kilometres that a pied flycatcher could cover in just two nights.(然后，这些鸟在夜间被赶到斯科讷隆德郊外的一片松树林中的Vombs future，在那里被释放。在丹麦，毛毛虫的高峰期比荷兰晚两周左右，一只斑背鹟只需两个晚上就可以飞大约600公里的距离)”可知，斑背鹟被驱赶到Vombs future是因那里可以为它们提供充足的食物源。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nilsson的话“By flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier(通过向北飞一点，这些鸟，至少在原则上，可以与它们的食物资源同步，即使春天来得更早，也有希望保持小鸟的数量)”可知，Nilsson认为让候鸟向北飞是有好处的，所以持积极的、支持的态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“We thought that perhaps the migratory birds could fly further north until they find a place with suitable well-developed caterpillars,(我们认为，也许候鸟可以继续向北飞，直到它们找到一个有适合的发育良好的毛毛虫的地方)”和最后一段中“The number of small birds, particularly migratory birds, has decreased drastically throughout Europe. By flying a little further north, these birds, at least in principle, could synchronise with their food resources and there is hope that populations of small birds can be maintained, even though springs are arriving ever earlier(在整个欧洲，小型鸟类，尤其是候鸟的数量急剧减少。通过向北飞一点，这些鸟，至少在原则上，可以与它们的食物资源同步，即使春天来得更早，也有希望保持小鸟的数量)”可知，文章介绍了气候变化引起的早春导致候鸟的幼鸟食物不足，但这一问题可以通过教会候鸟向北飞一点，到达有充足的食物源的地方来解决。所以“Migratory Birds Can Be Taught to Adjust to Climate Change(可以教候鸟适应气候变化)”是文章最佳标题。故选D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。 HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY BOOK YOU READ Reading books can be one of life’s greatest pleasures and learning experiences. ____16____.

But after one particular day, when a st range incident happened, it changed. I learned a lot on that day. What is the awful incident? Well, it all started when Miss Beth introduced us to a new exchange student, Pei. “She is very tall,” I said to Cherry. “Speaking of heights, wouldn’t she be perfect in the cheerleading team?” Cherry asked. “Maybe... Well, we’d better keep quiet. Miss Beth is looking at us,” I said. Surprisingly, I was assigned to guide the new girl around. During the break, I wanted to start a conversation with Pei, so I quickly approached her. “Hey, Pei,” I said. “Hello,” she replied politely. I had a short chat with her and she seemed to be a nice person. Before going home, I showed Pei around. The next day, I was very excited because it was April Fool’s Day. I planned to trick my friends with Pei since she was new. I really hoped that she would cooperate with me. So, I quickly ran to her before our English period started. Unfortunately, Matt, a naughty schoolboy came to our classroom, realising that there wasn’t any teacher in. “Go away!” I shouted. As usual, he ignored that. I took Pei’s notebook and hit Matt until it fell on the floor. Well... it wasn’t actually a notebook. It was Pei’s diary. “Ooh, it’s a diary!” shouted Matt. Then, he started to read out Pei’s diary loudly. “I really think Mal is bossy and…” Matt kept reading all of Pei’s inner thoughts. I could see that Pei was embarrassed. She grabbed her diary from Matt and ran outside the classroom. I was quite upset, and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. After a while, I jumped out of seat to follow her just to say sorry. However, I couldn’t find her anywhere before the school bell rang, I had to walk back to the classroom. 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。 Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After school, I went to the staffroom to meet Miss Beth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period. She noticed that Pei was missing. “Where’s Pei?” Miss Beth asked. “We don’t know,” answered the whole class. Suddenly, our class monitor stood up and told Miss Beth about the incident that happened earlier. I could see that Miss Beth was upset. She asked me to meet her at the staffroom before going home. “I am in boiling water,” I said to Cherry. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine”, Cherry told me. After school, I went to the staffroom to meet Miss Beth. “Miss Beth, did you want to meet me?” I asked politely. “Yes, but can we go out?” she replied. “Sure,” I said. After we went out, I saw Cherry, Harry, and most surprisingly Pei. I was too shocked to speak. Then, Cherry explained and told me that this was an April fool trick. I was relieved after finding out that Pei wasn’t actually missing. Well, my own trick blew up in my face. But this experience made me feel closer to my friends as well as my teacher. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在在愚人节期间试图捉弄朋友和新同学，却意外导致尴尬和不安的经历，并从中学到了教训，感受到了与朋友和老师更深的联系。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后Beth老师走进教室准备上英语课。”以及第二段首句内容“放学后，我去教工室找Beth老师。”可知，第一段可描写Beth老师注意到了Pei不在教室，询问之下得知了真相，于是老师让作者放学后去教工室。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，我去教工室找Beth老师。”可知，第二段可描写作者到了之后才发现这是个恶作剧，从此，作者再也不会在愚人节捉弄别人。 2.续写线索：发现Pei不在教室——班长说明情况——老师让作者放学后去找她——作者如坐针毡，非常不安——放学后作者到了教工室找Beth老师——发现Pei并没有失踪，只是愚人节恶作剧——作者不再在愚人节捉弄别人——自己和朋友老师之间更亲近了 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/note ②要求：ask/require ③回复：reply/answer/respond 情绪类 ①沮丧的：upset/disappointed ②惊讶的：shocked/surprised 【点睛】【高分句型1】Suddenly, our class monitor stood up and told Miss Beth about the incident that happened earlier.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Then, Cherry explained and told me that this was an April fool trick.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
