B In the peaceful countryside of Kadaba in Karnataka’s Mangaluru, India, among large green fields, lies a farm painted in the lively colors of foreign fruits. The red and green rambutans (红毛丹), accompanied by the dark purple mangosteens (山竹), often attract the attention of people passing by. Together, they generate a handsome income for 42-year-old Lohith Shetty. Born into a farming family, Lohith saw his father and uncles slave away in their 21-acre farm, growing local produce. Despite having bigger ambitions as a child, poverty led him to drop out of school after Grade 10, pressuring him to focus on finding ways out. After having tried his hand at different businesses, Lohith was still struggling to make ends meet for his family. However, Lohith’s journey to becoming a millionaire would begin when he got a work reference from a friend to work on a farm in Dharmasthala. Over the next decade, Lohith’s job at the farm gave him access to the know-how of cultivating foreign fruits like rambutan, dragon fruit, and mangosteen. This became his front-row ticket to understanding advanced agricultural practices and novel methods to make farming a profitable business. After returning home in 2016 with his newfound knowledge, Lohith decided to transform his experience into a financial adventure. He began by renting 20 acres of land and the 21 acres his family already owned. The next step was to purchase plants, which he did from a nursery (苗圃) in Kerala. And the next eight years witnessed Lohith draw on his advantage of being one of the first growers of foreign fruits in his region to promote his business steadily. Today, his adventure earns nearly $1.2 million annually for him. Moreover, apart from caring for his own farm and nursery, Lohith also helps people interested in growing such crops. “We grow the plants, maintain them for three years, and once they start giving a good yield, the owners take over,” he says. 4. What does the underlined phrase “slave away” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Put in lots of labour. B. Become slaves. C. Invest amounts of money. D. Rise to wealth. 5. Why did Lohith quit attending school? A. He desired to seek his fortune. B. He performed poorly at school. C. He suffered from financial challenges. D. He longed to pursue a farming career. 6. What was the turning point in Lohith’s life? A. The inheritance of the family farm. B. A job recommendation from a friend. C. Instructing locals to grow foreign fruits. D. Obtaining skills from different businesses. 7. Which of the following best describes Lohith? A. Devoted and reliable. B. Tough and sympathetic. C. Powerful and talented. D. Ambitious and cautious. C Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuel-powered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry. Shipping is not an environmentally friendly industry. In fact, the industry is responsible for about three percent of global emissions. Luckily, the leading figures in the industry have made a commitment to become planet-warming gasses net zero by 2050．This is where the Pyxis Ocean comes in. The Pyxis Ocean is a ship with two “Wind Wings”, which was designed by a British company. The ship made its first journey crossing the ocean from China to Brazil in 2023. But the “Wind Wings” are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic (空气动力学的) principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship’s deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel. With new, cleaner fuels still in the works, these partial measures to reduce carbon emissions are a godsend.” Ultimately we do need zero-carbon fuels on all ships, but in the meantime, it is necessary to make every journey as efficient as possible,” Dr Simon Bullock, a shipping researcher, said. Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every 110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms. 8. What does the comeback of the wind-powered technology indicate? A. The whole world is faced with an energy crisis. B. Sustainable development has become a global trend. C. The solutions to modern problems may lie in the past. D. The shipping industry is determined to turn away from fossil fuels. 9. What is the main purpose of the “Wind Wings” on the Pyxis Ocean? A. To provide entertainment for the crew. B. To reduce the ship’s carbon emissions. C. To serve as a backup power source. D. To increase the speed of the ship. 10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The wind-powered technology is reliable and promising. B. Wind power is playing a major role in the shipping industry. C. Fuel-powered ships will soon be replaced by wind-powered ones. D. Technology innovation is key to addressing environmental issues. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. New Ship Sailing into the Future B. Traditional Shipping Taking the Stage C. The Pyxis Ocean: New Hope for the Earth D. “Wind Wings”: a Return to Ancient Maritime Wisdom D Researchers have found evidence that artificial intelligence models would rather lie than admit the shame of not knowing something. A new study published in Nature found that the bigger LLMs (大型语言模型) get, the less reliable they become for specific tasks. They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not factually correct, because they are trained to believe it is. “LLMs are going far beyond their knowledge base to provide responses,” the study noted. Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills. The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it’s confidently giving misinformation. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous overreliance on AI outputs, particularly in critical fields like healthcare or legal advice. According to the study, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), intended to shape AI behavior, may actually be adding to the problem. These approaches appear to be reducing the models’ tendency to avoid tasks they’re not equipped to handle — remember the infamous “as an AI Language Model, I cannot”? — unintentionally encouraging more frequent errors. Human oversight, long considered a safeguard against AI mistakes, may not be sufficient to address these issues. The study found that users often struggle to correct incorrect model outputs, even in relatively simple fields, so relying on human judgment may not be the ultimate solution for proper model training. The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability. 12. How may LLMs react when not knowing something? A. They admit their ignorance. B They refuse to give answers. C. They turn to experts for assistance. D. They reply confidently but offer false answers. 13. What has led to AI telling lies according to the study? A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Inability to handle specific tasks. C. Unawareness of its own ignorance. D. Lack of proper human monitoring. 14. What is the function of the example mentioned in paragraph 3? A To prove LLMs are similar to humans. B. To show the limitations of AI training methods. C. To demonstrate LLMs are poor at simple tasks. D. To imply LLMs should be applied to complex tasks. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards where AI is heading? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 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。 With endless distractions and a never-ending to-do list, finding time to read can be a real challenge.

Now it was time to go back to my parents in Delhi before joining school again. Granny asked my uncle Ken, her thirty-year-old unmarried son, to take me to the station and put me on the train to Delhi. Uncle Ken carried out the instruction, and even bought me chocolate, consuming most of it himself while telling me how to prepare for my exams effectively. The train pulled out of the station, and we waved goodbye to each other. An hour later, I discovered to my horror that I wasn’t on the train to Delhi but on the train to Lucknow, over 300 miles in the opposite direction. One passenger suggested I get off at the next station; another said it wouldn’t be safe for a little boy at night. “Wait till we get to Lucknow,” advised a third passenger. “Then give your grandparents a call.” The next morning the train steamed into Lucknow. One passenger kindly took me to the stationmaster’s office. After knowing my problem, the stationmaster, Mr Ghosh, said, “Yes, we must call your grandparents. And I’ll take you to my home.” Mr Ghosh’s house was just behind the station. He offered me milky tea and said, “Now let me show you my family.” He led me to his backyard. There I was amazed to find a small toy railway with a station, a railway office, etc. Nearby was a small amusement park, with swings and carousels (旋转木马). Many white mice were playing there, running in and out of tunnels, climbing onto a toy train. Mr Ghosh pressed a button, and the little train, crowded with white mice, left the station and went shouting off to the backyard’s corner. “That’s my hobby for many years. What do you think of it?” Mr Ghosh said, while feeding them with biscuits. I replied that the mice and the train were lovely. “Great,” he smiled. Then, he went to his office to call my grandfather. 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。 Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CBBCB 6—10 AACAB 11—15 ACACA 16—20 BCCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高三（上）质检联盟期中考试 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

You have the entire plane for yourself, which includes a shower, bath spa, and flat-screen TVs, as well as a DVD player. (Vliegtuigsuite Teuge不仅是一家以航空为主题的酒店，而且还建在飞机内。整架飞机都是你的，包括淋浴、水疗、平板电视和DVD播放机)”可知，Vliegtuigsuite Teuge的特别之处在于是由飞机改造而来的。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“You can also bring along your four-legged friend to spend the vacation with you here.(你也可以带上你的四条腿的朋友一起来这里度假)”可知，Grand Hotel Asgardstrand, Unike Hoteller是宠物友好型的。故选D。 B In the peaceful countryside of Kadaba in Karnataka’s Mangaluru, India, among large green fields, lies a farm painted in the lively colors of foreign fruits. The red and green rambutans (红毛丹), accompanied by the dark purple mangosteens (山竹), often attract the attention of people passing by. Together, they generate a handsome income for 42-year-old Lohith Shetty. Born into a farming family, Lohith saw his father and uncles slave away in their 21-acre farm, growing local produce. Despite having bigger ambitions as a child, poverty led him to drop out of school after Grade 10, pressuring him to focus on finding ways out. After having tried his hand at different businesses, Lohith was still struggling to make ends meet for his family. However, Lohith’s journey to becoming a millionaire would begin when he got a work reference from a friend to work on a farm in Dharmasthala. Over the next decade, Lohith’s job at the farm gave him access to the know-how of cultivating foreign fruits like rambutan, dragon fruit, and mangosteen. This became his front-row ticket to understanding advanced agricultural practices and novel methods to make farming a profitable business. After returning home in 2016 with his newfound knowledge, Lohith decided to transform his experience into a financial adventure. He began by renting 20 acres of land and the 21 acres his family already owned. The next step was to purchase plants, which he did from a nursery (苗圃) in Kerala. And the next eight years witnessed Lohith draw on his advantage of being one of the first growers of foreign fruits in his region to promote his business steadily. Today, his adventure earns nearly $1.2 million annually for him. Moreover, apart from caring for his own farm and nursery, Lohith also helps people interested in growing such crops. “We grow the plants, maintain them for three years, and once they start giving a good yield, the owners take over,” he says. 4. What does the underlined phrase “slave away” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Put in lots of labour. B. Become slaves. C. Invest amounts of money. D. Rise to wealth. 5. Why did Lohith quit attending school? A. He desired to seek his fortune. B. He performed poorly at school. C. He suffered from financial challenges. D. He longed to pursue a farming career. 6. What was the turning point in Lohith’s life? A. The inheritance of the family farm. B. A job recommendation from a friend. C. Instructing locals to grow foreign fruits. D. Obtaining skills from different businesses. 7. Which of the following best describes Lohith? A. Devoted and reliable. B. Tough and sympathetic. C. Powerful and talented. D. Ambitious and cautious. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了从小家境贫困的Lohith Shetty是如何通过种植水果发家致富的。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Lohith saw his father and uncles”以及后文“in their 21-acre farm, growing local produce (在他们21英亩的农场里，种植当地农产品)”可知，此处指Lohith看到父亲和叔叔在田地里付出了大量劳动种植农产品。故划线词意思是“投入大量劳动”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite having bigger ambitions as a child, poverty led him to drop out of school after Grade 10, pressuring him to focus on finding ways out. (尽管小时候有更大的抱负，但贫困导致他在10年级后辍学，迫使他专注于寻找出路)”可知，Lohith退学是因为他遭受了经济上的困难。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Lohith’s journey to becoming a millionaire would begin when he got a work reference from a friend to work on a farm in Dharmasthala. (然而，Lohith成为百万富翁的旅程开始于他从一个朋友那里得到了在Dharmasthala一个农场工作的工作推荐)”可知，Lohith人生的转折点是朋友的工作推荐信。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Over the next decade, Lohith’s job at the farm gave him access to the know-how of cultivating foreign fruits like rambutan, dragon fruit, and mangosteen. This became his front-row ticket to understanding advanced agricultural practices and novel methods to make farming a profitable business. (在接下来的十年里，Lohith在农场的工作让他掌握了种植红毛丹、火龙果和山竹等外国水果的诀窍。这成为他了解先进农业实践和新方法的前排门票，使农业成为一项有利可图的业务)”以及最后一段“Moreover, apart from caring for his own farm and nursery, Lohith also helps people interested in growing such crops. (此外，除了打理自己的农场和苗圃，Lohith还帮助对种植这类作物感兴趣的人)”可知，Lohith坚强且富有同情心。故选B。 C Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuel-powered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry. Shipping is not an environmentally friendly industry. In fact, the industry is responsible for about three percent of global emissions. Luckily, the leading figures in the industry have made a commitment to become planet-warming gasses net zero by 2050．This is where the Pyxis Ocean comes in. The Pyxis Ocean is a ship with two “Wind Wings”, which was designed by a British company. The ship made its first journey crossing the ocean from China to Brazil in 2023. But the “Wind Wings” are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic (空气动力学的) principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship’s deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel. With new, cleaner fuels still in the works, these partial measures to reduce carbon emissions are a godsend.” Ultimately we do need zero-carbon fuels on all ships, but in the meantime, it is necessary to make every journey as efficient as possible,” Dr Simon Bullock, a shipping researcher, said. Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every 110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms. 8. What does the comeback of the wind-powered technology indicate? A. The whole world is faced with an energy crisis. B. Sustainable development has become a global trend. C. The solutions to modern problems may lie in the past. D. The shipping industry is determined to turn away from fossil fuels. 9. What is the main purpose of the “Wind Wings” on the Pyxis Ocean? A. To provide entertainment for the crew. B. To reduce the ship’s carbon emissions. C. To serve as a backup power source. D. To increase the speed of the ship. 10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The wind-powered technology is reliable and promising. B. Wind power is playing a major role in the shipping industry. C. Fuel-powered ships will soon be replaced by wind-powered ones. D. Technology innovation is key to addressing environmental issues. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. New Ship Sailing into the Future B. Traditional Shipping Taking the Stage C. The Pyxis Ocean: New Hope for the Earth D. “Wind Wings”: a Return to Ancient Maritime Wisdom 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“Wind Wings”作为一种回归的古老技术，如何在现代航运中发挥作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail.(有时候要向前走就必须向后看。自古以来，自从帆被发明以来,人们就开始使用风力驱动的船只)”以及后文关于风帆技术回归的描述可知，现代问题的解决方案可能在过去就已经存在。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry(现在，作为一种降低燃料动力航运业产生的碳排放的方式，帆船正在卷土重来)”可知，可知，“Wind Wings”主要目的是减少船只的碳排放。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every 110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms.(幸运的是，风力发电技术正在获得认可。每11万艘新造船中，大约有100艘正在使用某种风能技术建造。这还不包括像皮克西斯海洋号这样的船只，它们已经或将被帆、风筝或其他类型的风力驱动机制改造)”可知，能技术是可靠且有前景的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail.(有时候要向前走就必须向后看。自古以来，自从帆被发明以来,人们就开始使用风力驱动的船只) 根据第一段“Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry(现在，作为一种降低燃料动力航运业产生的碳排放的方式，帆船正在卷土重来);根据第四段“But the“Wind Wings”are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic(空气动力学的)principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship’s deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel.( 但“风之翼”并不完全是风帆。它们高达37米，它们的设计使用了与飞机飞行相同的空气动力学原理。不使用时，船帆向下折叠到船的甲板上。据估计，这种机翼每天将节省约3吨燃料。这是大量的燃料)”可知，文章主要介绍了“Wind Wings”作为一种回归的古老技术，如何在现代航运中发挥作用。所以短文的标题为“风之翼：回归古代海洋智慧”。故选D项。 D Researchers have found evidence that artificial intelligence models would rather lie than admit the shame of not knowing something. A new study published in Nature found that the bigger LLMs (大型语言模型) get, the less reliable they become for specific tasks. They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not factually correct, because they are trained to believe it is. “LLMs are going far beyond their knowledge base to provide responses,” the study noted. Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills. The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it’s confidently giving misinformation. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous overreliance on AI outputs, particularly in critical fields like healthcare or legal advice. According to the study, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), intended to shape AI behavior, may actually be adding to the problem. These approaches appear to be reducing the models’ tendency to avoid tasks they’re not equipped to handle — remember the infamous “as an AI Language Model, I cannot”? — unintentionally encouraging more frequent errors. Human oversight, long considered a safeguard against AI mistakes, may not be sufficient to address these issues. The study found that users often struggle to correct incorrect model outputs, even in relatively simple fields, so relying on human judgment may not be the ultimate solution for proper model training. The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability. 12. How may LLMs react when not knowing something? A. They admit their ignorance. B. They refuse to give answers. C. They turn to experts for assistance. D. They reply confidently but offer false answers. 13. What has led to AI telling lies according to the study? A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Inability to handle specific tasks. C. Unawareness of its own ignorance. D. Lack of proper human monitoring. 14. What is the function of the example mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To prove LLMs are similar to humans. B. To show the limitations of AI training methods. C. To demonstrate LLMs are poor at simple tasks. D. To imply LLMs should be applied to complex tasks. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards where AI is heading? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员发现大型语言模型在处理特定任务时变得不可靠，倾向于自信地提供错误答案，这可能导致用户对其过度依赖，尤其是在关键领域如医疗和法律中。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not factually correct, because they are trained to believe it is.( 即使答案事实上并不正确，他们也倾向于自信地回答，因为他们被训练得相信答案是正确的)”可知，LLMs在不知道某些事情时它们自信地回答，但给出错误的答案。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex tasks.( 研究人员发现，这种现象并不是因为大型语言模型无法处理简单任务，而是因为它们被训练得更擅长处理复杂任务)”和第四段中“The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence.(这个问题因模型表现出的自信而变得更加严重)”可推知，根据这项研究人工智能没有意识到自己的无知导致它说谎。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills.( 研究人员发现，这种现象并不是因为大型语言模型无法处理简单任务，而是因为它们被训练得更擅长处理复杂任务。这就像是一个习惯于只吃精致大餐的人突然间难以制作家庭烧烤或传统蛋糕一样。那些在庞大、复杂的数据库上训练的AI模型更容易缺失基础技能)”可推知，第三段提到的例子的作用是展示AI训练方法的局限性。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability.( 这项研究的结果对目前人工智能的发展趋势提出了质疑。虽然对更大、更强大的模型的需求仍在继续，但这项研究表明，在人工智能的可靠性方面，更大并不总是更好)”可推知，作者对AI的发展方向持怀疑态度。故选A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。 With endless distractions and a never-ending to-do list, finding time to read can be a real challenge.

Now it was time to go back to my parents in Delhi before joining school again. Granny asked my uncle Ken, her thirty-year-old unmarried son, to take me to the station and put me on the train to Delhi. Uncle Ken carried out the instruction, and even bought me chocolate, consuming most of it himself while telling me how to prepare for my exams effectively. The train pulled out of the station, and we waved goodbye to each other. An hour later, I discovered to my horror that I wasn’t on the train to Delhi but on the train to Lucknow, over 300 miles in the opposite direction. One passenger suggested I get off at the next station; another said it wouldn’t be safe for a little boy at night. “Wait till we get to Lucknow,” advised a third passenger. “Then give your grandparents a call.” The next morning, the train steamed into Lucknow. One passenger kindly took me to the stationmaster’s office. After knowing my problem, the stationmaster, Mr Ghosh, said, “Yes, we must call your grandparents. And I’ll take you to my home.” Mr Ghosh’s house was just behind the station. He offered me milky tea and said, “Now let me show you my family.” He led me to his backyard. There I was amazed to find a small toy railway with a station, a railway office, etc. Nearby was a small amusement park, with swings and carousels (旋转木马). Many white mice were playing there, running in and out of tunnels, climbing onto a toy train. Mr Ghosh pressed a button, and the little train, crowded with white mice, left the station and went shouting off to the backyard’s corner. “That’s my hobby for many years. What do you think of it?” Mr Ghosh said, while feeding them with biscuits. I replied that the mice and the train were lovely. “Great,” he smiled. Then, he went to his office to call my grandfather. 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。 Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. In relief, I began helping feed the mice, and then watched Mr Ghosh operate the toy train. All mice were playing happily. By the time Grandfather arrived, I had consumed many treats offered by Mr Ghosh and fallen asleep in his room. I woke up to find Mr Ghosh busily showing Grandfather his little railway and group of mice. When Grandfather and I boarded the train returning, Mr Ghosh came to the window to say goodbye. As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” After the train moved off, I opened the box, finding two white mice. I was glad and cheerful. Back in Dehra, Uncle Ken was embarrassed to face me. Granny had given him a lecture on how to be responsible, but I still wanted “revenge”! I secretly released the mice under his bed sheet. Later, he rushed out of his room, screaming that something soft was running inside his pajamas. We all burst out laughing. I went back to Delhi the next day.
