Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub- zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote, Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big- name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice- skating. If you’re looking for some fast- paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwaka’ wakw, Nuu- chah- nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native people’s culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船)from the mainland ahead of time. 21. Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 22. What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need reservations. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 23. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. B Raised by a father who was in the military and a mom who had a corporate job, Jasmine Crowe-Houston saw her parents face various challenges in their own careers that inspired her to start her own business. After college, she quickly realized where her passion lies while working in the service industry. In 2013, she started a restaurant called Sunday Soul that fed people in her community experiencing homelessness, and four years later, a video of it went viral online. Although Crowe-Houston was cooking the food herself, social media commenters asked if she would consider food donations. Crowe-Houston then began researching and started learning all about food waste. “I really became angry around how much food goes to waste while so many people go hungry at the same time,” she says. In the meantime, she began to notice the growing popularity of food delivery apps like Instacart and DoorDash. “I started thinking, ‘Who’s going to get food delivered to the people that don’t know where their next meal is coming from?’” recalls Crowe-Houston. The question led her to dream up Goodr, a waste diversion (转移) company which helps businesses reduce food waste and meanwhile tackles food insecurity. Goodr works with technology that makes it easy for businesses to request pickups when they have eatable food to donate or non-eatable items they want to recycle. She took her mission a step further by writing a children's book, Everybody Eats. She urges parents to not only talk about the topic with their kids but to take steps in their own home to reduce food waste. Although Goodr started out in Atlanta, it's now operating in about 26 markets across the country and has diverted about 5 million pounds of food from landfill and provided nearly 35 million meals to people in need. 24. What inspired Crowe-Houston to start her own business? A. The hardships her parents met at work. B. The education she received in college. C. The experience in the service industry. D. The popularity of food delivery apps. 25. What do we know about the restaurant Sunday Soul? A. It provided videos on cooking online. B. It offered food to the homeless. C It was open for about four years. D. It aimed to deal with food waste. 26. Which of the following deals with food safety? A. Sunday Soul. B. Instacart. C. DoorDash. D. Goodr. 27. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents are to blame for food waste at home. B. Crowe-Houston works for a pickup company. C. Goodr has made a difference in saving food. D. Goodr has been popular around the world. C Soon, every seat on an airplane could be a window seat! New concept designs are revealing how travelers will be able to gaze at the stars above in future airplanes. Aerospace giant Airbus is showing off its vision of next-gen cabins, which include an all-round view of clouds as you jet through them. The Airspace Cabin Vision 2035+ concept also lets passengers tap on smart interactive windows that show travel time and let you explore your destination city. The French company also says passengers will enjoy a greater choice of meals thanks to new pre-ordering concepts. They believe that, by collecting your meal at the gate, food and packaging waste could be reduced by up to 15 percent. The company explains their ethos is “to reduce emissions at heart”. “Right now, research shows the cabin can contribute between 10% and 20% to the aircraft’s overall environmental impact during its lifecycle,” Airbus officials write. “Putting a focus on reducing this, Airbus brought together ten airlines and eight technology companies to feed into a vision that rethinks the way the cabin should look and feel, maintaining superior passenger comfort.” Airbus found that one of the biggest levers (手段) in the cabin for reducing emissions is lightweight solutions. To achieve this, efforts should be focused on creating lighter “bionic designs” that will help reduce cabin weight by up to 40 percent. “As the world shifts to a more circular (循环的) economy, we are rethinking the materials used inside the cabin so they’re able to be recycled, reused and repaired during their lifecycle. This is also a key part of the 2035+ vision,” Airbus officials explain. “Cabin lining and components will be developed for current aircraft using new materials and a complete introduction of these will be rolled out with the next generation aircraft.” 28. What can we know about the next-gen cabins from the first two paragraphs? A. They will be made of glasses. B. They will shorten travel time greatly. C. They will reduce food waste to some extent. D. They will provide whatever food passengers want. 29. What does the underlined word “ethos” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Advice. B. Fer. C. Loss. D. Idea. 30. What can be inferred about the future materials used inside the cabin? A. They are cheaper. B. They are more eco-friendly. C. They are more convenient. D. They are more available. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To advertise some new flights. B. To call on people to live a greener life. C. To introduce new design ideas of a plane. D. To explain how to make planes smarter. D Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos. In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas. Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar” (though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted, were on average sweeter than older ones. Cultivation isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. Research from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that “if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference”. It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it. There’s a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness. 32. Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals? A. The animals preferred a vegetable- based diet. B. Modern fruit did great harm to animals’ teeth. C. The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before. D. The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals. 33. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The sugar content is breeders’ first priority. B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection. C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones. D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit. 34. What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest? A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet. B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly. C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level. D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared. 35. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better? B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality. C. Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Not a Misconception. D. Melbourne Zoo: Animals Stop Eating Fruits. 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。 Mental health is extremely essential because it can affect almost every part of a person’s life. ____36____Here are some of the most popular advice shared by psychologists to improve your mental health.

My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner. Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way. “I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy. I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.” “Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on. I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working. 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。 “Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阆中中学高2022级2024年秋11月月考 英语试题 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟 ） 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，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What seems to be the woman’s problem?

They’re just as familiar with working in adult comedy clubs as they are working with children. The Comedy Hour company was set up by John Winterson. In fact, his act quickly became so popular that he soon found lots of other comedians who wanted to join his company. If you’re having a party at home, Comedy Hour can come and perform for you there at the party. Your very own comedian will also help you to tell your guests some jokes and silly stories and they can join in, too, if they want. It’ll be fun and very different from any party you’ve ever had before. Here at Comedy Hour, it’s not just about the adults telling jokes. We also offer young people the chance to perform. But we’ve yet to find someone who can do that without preparation, so we’ve set up the world’s first Comedy Classes to teach young people how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we’re planning to start a number of others over the coming year. So what are you waiting for? Come and join Comedy Hour. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A November is often overlooked as December approaches, but it’s an ideal time to arrange an escape from the dull skies of northern Europe. Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub- zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote, Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big- name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice- skating. If you’re looking for some fast- paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwaka’ wakw, Nuu- chah- nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native people’s culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船)from the mainland ahead of time. 21. Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 22. What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need reservations. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 23. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23.

After college, she quickly realized where her passion lies while working in the service industry. In 2013, she started a restaurant called Sunday Soul that fed people in her community experiencing homelessness, and four years later, a video of it went viral online. Although Crowe-Houston was cooking the food herself, social media commenters asked if she would consider food donations. Crowe-Houston then began researching and started learning all about food waste. “I really became angry around how much food goes to waste while so many people go hungry at the same time,” she says. In the meantime, she began to notice the growing popularity of food delivery apps like Instacart and DoorDash. “I started thinking, ‘Who’s going to get food delivered to the people that don’t know where their next meal is coming from?’” recalls Crowe-Houston. The question led her to dream up Goodr, a waste diversion (转移) company which helps businesses reduce food waste and meanwhile tackles food insecurity. Goodr works with technology that makes it easy for businesses to request pickups when they have eatable food to donate or non-eatable items they want to recycle. She took her mission a step further by writing a children's book, Everybody Eats. She urges parents to not only talk about the topic with their kids but to take steps in their own home to reduce food waste. Although Goodr started out in Atlanta, it's now operating in about 26 markets across the country and has diverted about 5 million pounds of food from landfill and provided nearly 35 million meals to people in need. 24. What inspired Crowe-Houston to start her own business? A The hardships her parents met at work. B. The education she received in college. C. The experience in the service industry. D. The popularity of food delivery apps. 25. What do we know about the restaurant Sunday Soul? A. It provided videos on cooking online. B. It offered food to the homeless. C. It was open for about four years. D. It aimed to deal with food waste. 26. Which of the following deals with food safety? A. Sunday Soul. B. Instacart. C. DoorDash. D. Goodr. 27. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents are to blame for food waste at home. B. Crowe-Houston works for a pickup company. C. Goodr has made a difference in saving food. D. Goodr has been popular around the world. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Jasmine Crowe-Houston开餐馆来为社区中无家可归的人提供食物。她发现食物浪费现象严重，于是创办了一家公司并写了一本书， 以呼吁人们减少食物浪费。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jasmine Crowe-Houston saw her parents face various challenges in their own careers that inspired her to start her own business.

(这个问题让她想到了Goodr，一家帮助企业减少食物浪费，同时解决食品不安全问题的垃圾转移公司。)”可知，Goodr帮助一些企业减少食物浪费，同时处理食物不安全的问题。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although Goodr started out in Atlanta, it's now operating in about 26 markets across the country and has diverted about 5 million pounds of food from landfill and provided nearly 35 million meals to people in need. (虽然Goodr从亚特兰大起步，但现在它在全国约26个市场开展业务，并从垃圾填埋场转移了约500万磅食品，为有需要的人提供了近3500万顿饭。)”可知，Goodr在节约食物方面取得了巨大的成就。故选 C。 C Soon, every seat on an airplane could be a window seat! New concept designs are revealing how travelers will be able to gaze at the stars above in future airplanes. Aerospace giant Airbus is showing off its vision of next-gen cabins, which include an all-round view of clouds as you jet through them. The Airspace Cabin Vision 2035+ concept also lets passengers tap on smart interactive windows that show travel time and let you explore your destination city. The French company also says passengers will enjoy a greater choice of meals thanks to new pre-ordering concepts. They believe that, by collecting your meal at the gate, food and packaging waste could be reduced by up to 15 percent. The company explains their ethos is “to reduce emissions at heart”. “Right now, research shows the cabin can contribute between 10% and 20% to the aircraft’s overall environmental impact during its lifecycle,” Airbus officials write. “Putting a focus on reducing this, Airbus brought together ten airlines and eight technology companies to feed into a vision that rethinks the way the cabin should look and feel, maintaining superior passenger comfort.” Airbus found that one of the biggest levers (手段) in the cabin for reducing emissions is lightweight solutions. To achieve this, efforts should be focused on creating lighter “bionic designs” that will help reduce cabin weight by up to 40 percent. “As the world shifts to a more circular (循环的) economy, we are rethinking the materials used inside the cabin so they’re able to be recycled, reused and repaired during their lifecycle. This is also a key part of the 2035+ vision,” Airbus officials explain. “Cabin lining and components will be developed for current aircraft using new materials and a complete introduction of these will be rolled out with the next generation aircraft.” 28. What can we know about the next-gen cabins from the first two paragraphs? A. They will be made of glasses. B. They will shorten travel time greatly. C. They will reduce food waste to some extent. D. They will provide whatever food passengers want. 29. What does the underlined word “ethos” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Advice. B. Fer. C. Loss. D. Idea. 30. What can be inferred about the future materials used inside the cabin? A. They are cheaper. B. They are more eco-friendly. C. They are more convenient. D. They are more available. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To advertise some new flights. B. To call on people to live a greener life. C. To introduce new design ideas of a plane. D. To explain how to make planes smarter. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31.

The French company also says passengers will enjoy a greater choice of meals thanks to new pre- ordering concepts. They believe that, by collecting your meal at the gate, food and packaging waste could be reduced by up to 15percent.( Airspace Cabin Vision 2035+概念还允许乘客点击显示旅行时间的智能交互式窗口，让您探索目的地城市。这家法国公司还表示，由于新的预订概念，乘客将享受更多的餐点选择。他们认为，通过在登机口收集您的餐食，可以减少高达 15% 的食物和包装浪费。)”和下文“to reduce emissions at heart(从心底减少排放)”可知，“从心底里减少排放”是这家公司的理念。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段的“As the world shifts to a more circular(循环的) economy, we are rethinking the materials used inside the cabin so they’re able to be recycled, reused and repaired during their lifecycle. (随着世界转向更加循环的经济，在端到端数字化数据透明度的推动下，我们正在重新思考客舱内使用的材料，以便它们在生命周期内能够被回收、再利用和修复。)可知，未来的飞机客舱内使用的材料更环保。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“New concept designs are revealing how travelers will be able to gaze at the stars above in future airplanes. Aerospace giant Airbus is showing off its vision of next- gen cabins, which include an all-round view of clouds as you jet through them.(新的概念设计揭示了乘客在未来的飞机上如何仰望星空。航空巨头空中客车公司正在展示其对下一代机舱的设想，其中包括当你穿过云层时的全方位视野。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了空中客车公司对下一代飞机客舱的概念设计，包括智能互动窗户、减少食物浪费以及更环保的材料等新设计理念。因此文章的目的是介绍飞机的新设计思想。故选C。 D Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos. In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas. Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar” (though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted, were on average sweeter than older ones. Cultivation isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. Research from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that “if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference”. It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it. There’s a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness. 32. Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals? A. The animals preferred a vegetable- based diet. B. Modern fruit did great harm to animals’ teeth. C. The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before. D. The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals. 33. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The sugar content is breeders’ first priority. B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection. C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones. D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit. 34. What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest? A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet. B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly. C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level. D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared. 35. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better? B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality. C. Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Not a Misconception. D. Melbourne Zoo: Animals Stop Eating Fruits. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章是说明文。文章主要讲述了现代农业技术使得现代水果比以前更甜。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay(蛀牙) and weight gain.(据报道，2018年，澳大利亚墨尔本动物园已经停止给大多数动物提供水果，因为现在种植的水果太甜了，会导致蛀牙和体重增加。)”可知现代水果对动物的牙齿有很大的危害，因此停止了给动物供应水果。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar”(though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar(分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. (在水果种植者中，“优质”这个词现在通常被用作“高糖”的同义词(尽管硬度、颜色和大小也要考虑在内)。2010年，韩国的一组植物科学家在一篇文章中探讨了如何利用“分子方法”来提高水果的甜度，他们写道，“总的来说，由于不断的选择和育种”，现在许多水果的“含糖量”比以前要高。)”可知，现代水果的甜度采用分子方法，故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness.(不同之处在于，野生苹果的含糖量变化更大，而现代超市里的苹果很少低于一定的甜度。)” 可知野生苹果的含糖量变化很大，故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容“Is modern fruit cultivated(培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated.( 现代种植的水果比过去更甜吗?简短的回答是肯定的，但较长的回答更为复杂)”并通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了现代农业技术使得现代水果比以前更甜。可知C项“水果更甜：这不是一个误解。”为最佳标题，故选C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。 Mental health is extremely essential because it can affect almost every part of a person’s life. ____36____Here are some of the most popular advice shared by psychologists to improve your mental health.

My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner. Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way. “I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy. I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.” “Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on. I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working. 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。 “Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ” Buddy handed the goose to me. Its feathered body was as warm as angel feathers inside my coat. Putting my freezing hands on its body, I felt a rush of warmth sweeping over me. We passed the goose back and forth between us all the way home, battling biting cold. After what seemed like ages, we got home. Upon arrival, we couldn’t wait to explain to our parents how the goose had kept us from freezing. (76 words) Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose. “What should we have for Christmas dinner?” They looked at us with a concerned look. “Anything but the goose. He has saved our lives.” Buddy and I exclaimed. Shifting gazes between us and the goose which was honking as if he were pleading too. “Fine. Then we’ll do without it,” my parents announced. “Hooray!” we sprang to our feet. That Christmas, we didn’t have a grand feast, but came upon a hero in our life.
