Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2024. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.

Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.

The UFC women’s strawweight (草量级) champion defended her belt at UFC 300 on April 13.She defeated Yan Xiaonan in the first ever title fight between two Chinese fighters. It was a fairly dominant performance from Zhang. In the first round, Yan got her back taken by Zhang, who locked her in the neck and appeared to be choking her out seconds before the bell rang. Yan went limp for a few seconds but then struggled to her feet. Looking confused, she walked over to her corner, and the fight continued. The second round was a dominant one for Zhang, and she came close to forcing a defeat from Yan. However, things changed dramatically in the third. Yan picked up plenty of momentum (势头) by, taking down Zhang and landing several shots on the feet that seemed to surprise the defending champion. The last two rounds were also competitive, but it seemed that Zhang had regained her strength and was able to control the fight for longer periods of time. Yan put up an admirable fight, but Zhang was clearly the better fighter. The 34-year-old martial artist now has four consecutive wins. Her last defeat came in a rematch against Rose in an attempt to recapture the title. Since that loss, she has knocked out Joanna, taken the belt from Carla, and has defended it twice-- beating Amanda and now Yan. Zhang is regarded as one of the greatest strawweight competitors in UFC history. She credits former UFC champion Ronda as the inspiration for starting her MMA (综合格斗) training. “I heard there was going to be a female fight,” Zhang said. “I watched Ronda and I was so impressed. It made me think, ‘Wow, women can be so powerful,’ and I wanted to show that power just like her.” Women from different backgrounds and corners of the world are stepping up, showing what it means to fight like a girl. “Zhang Weili is a prime example of overcoming adversity.” she said. 24. How many rounds did two fighters go through? A. Three B. Five C. Four D. Six 25. What does the underlined word “dominant” mean in Chinese?

C On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game — a label that refers to big budgets and high production values. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamland with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various evils, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive, world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has already been promoted as a source of nationalist pride. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both domestically and internationally. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game? A. Its target players. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its design inspiration. D. Its cultural significance. 29. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji? A. Providing a satisfying experience for players. B. Creating high profits for the game company. C. Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts. D. Designing impressive characters and visual effects. 30. Which of the following words can best describe the game’s production team? A. Ambitious and courageous. B. Devoted and high-standard. C. Confident and productive. D. Experienced and imaginative. 31. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province? A. By enhancing its international status. B. By requiring the protection of its heritage. C. By attracting investment to its game industry. D. By promoting its cultural tourism. D Most of us are familiar with Groundhog Day, during which a large groundhog checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folk tale, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13sections to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. Having heard about the caterpillar tale, the entomologist Howard Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. However, some of the scientists think of the tale of caterpillar predictions as just that. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was playful,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one-probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says.“ The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 32. How do people predict the weather through woolly worms? A. By studying color bands on their bodies. B. By analyzing their living habits. C By measuring the change of their size. D. By calculating the number of their segments. 33. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A. A survey on the locals. B. His personal study. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 34. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the caterpillar tale? A. Positive. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Skeptical. 35. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. C. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. D. Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 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 Boost Your Self-Esteem: Effective Tips and Strategies If you’re struggling with low self-esteem, you’re not alone.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers.“ It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 景德镇市2025届高三第一次质检试题 英语 第一部分 听力 第一节 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 is the man mainly excited about?

For my speech, I’d like to introduce my work in historical discoveries. This topic is different from other speeches tonight. But it fits the theme of tonight’s charity event for children. We’ll provide a special history course for all students in the new school we’re building using donations. My team focuses on historical digging. We have helped experts in history worldwide make incredible discoveries. I do most of my work outside the United States. In fact, I spent most of my time in Italy. But my most exciting project was researching Terracotta Army in Xi’an, China. Although these ancient statues were first found by farmers decades ago, they quickly became one of the world’s most unique historical sites. There, over 8000 well-preserved warriors (武士) offer a clear view of what soldiers looked like over 2000 years ago! The most important part of my team’s strategy is learning about the land we’re investigating (研究). Indeed, researching culture and history was the biggest change to my team’s digging strategy. Well, thank you for listening. And let’s hear it for our next speaker, a science expert, who’ll present her impressive work! 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 Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2024 Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination?

The UFC women’s strawweight (草量级) champion defended her belt at UFC 300 on April 13.She defeated Yan Xiaonan in the first ever title fight between two Chinese fighters. It was a fairly dominant performance from Zhang. In the first round, Yan got her back taken by Zhang, who locked her in the neck and appeared to be choking her out seconds before the bell rang. Yan went limp for a few seconds but then struggled to her feet. Looking confused, she walked over to her corner, and the fight continued. The second round was a dominant one for Zhang, and she came close to forcing a defeat from Yan. However, things changed dramatically in the third. Yan picked up plenty of momentum (势头) by, taking down Zhang and landing several shots on the feet that seemed to surprise the defending champion. The last two rounds were also competitive, but it seemed that Zhang had regained her strength and was able to control the fight for longer periods of time. Yan put up an admirable fight, but Zhang was clearly the better fighter. The 34-year-old martial artist now has four consecutive wins. Her last defeat came in a rematch against Rose in an attempt to recapture the title. Since that loss, she has knocked out Joanna, taken the belt from Carla, and has defended it twice-- beating Amanda and now Yan. Zhang is regarded as one of the greatest strawweight competitors in UFC history. She credits former UFC champion Ronda as the inspiration for starting her MMA (综合格斗) training. “I heard there was going to be a female fight,” Zhang said. “I watched Ronda and I was so impressed. It made me think, ‘Wow, women can be so powerful,’ and I wanted to show that power just like her.” Women from different backgrounds and corners of the world are stepping up, showing what it means to fight like a girl. “Zhang Weili is a prime example of overcoming adversity.” she said. 24.

Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamland with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various evils, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive, world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has already been promoted as a source of nationalist pride. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%.

But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions? According to the folk tale, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13sections to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. Having heard about the caterpillar tale, the entomologist Howard Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder. However, some of the scientists think of the tale of caterpillar predictions as just that. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was playful,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one-probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.” Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says.“ The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.” 32. How do people predict the weather through woolly worms? A. By studying color bands on their bodies. B. By analyzing their living habits. C. By measuring the change of their size. D. By calculating the number of their segments. 33. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on? A. A survey on the locals. B. His personal study. C. Studies by previous scientists. D. Statistics collected by the museum. 34. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the caterpillar tale? A. Positive. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Skeptical. 35. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with? A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it. B. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth. C. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather. D. Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了北卡罗来纳州一个小镇利用一种被称为“毛虫（Woolly Worm）”的毛毛虫来预测冬季的严重程度，文中介绍了这种预测方法的民间传说和具体方式，但科学家对此方法的看法不一。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“According to the folk tale, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. (根据民间传说，秋天毛茸茸的虫子身上的黑色预示着即将到来的冬天的严重程度。毛茸茸的蠕虫的黑色带越长，冬天就越长、越冷、越多雪，也就越严酷。同样，较宽的中间棕色带与即将到来的温和冬季有关。最长的暗带的位置表明冬天的哪个部分将是最冷或最艰难的。)”可知，人们通过观察毛毛虫身上的颜色带来预测天气，特别是黑色带的长度和棕色带的宽度，以及最长暗带的位置，来预测冬季的严重程度和哪个部分最冷或最难熬。也就是通过观察它们身上的颜色带来预测天气。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Having heard about the caterpillar tale, the entomologist Howard Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.( 听说了毛毛虫的故事后，昆虫学家Howard Curran每年秋天都前往熊山州立公园收集毛茸茸的蠕虫，持续了八年。他发现，如果这些蠕虫身上有超过三分之一的褐色斑纹，冬天就会比较温和。)”可知，Howard Curran是一位昆虫学家，他听说毛毛虫预测天气的故事后，连续八年前往熊山州立公园收集毛毛虫进行研究。他发现如果毛毛虫身体上有超过三分之一的棕色标记，那么冬天往往会更温和。因此，Howard Curran的发现是基于他个人的研究。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中““It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was playful,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms.(“这是一个精彩的故事，但我确实认为它很有趣，”俄亥俄州立大学推广部的昆虫学家Joe Bogg说，他研究了长毛虫。)”可知，他对毛毛虫预测天气的故事持怀疑态度，认为它可能只是个有趣的传说而已。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter.( 马萨诸塞州大学的昆虫学家Mike Peters并不反对这种说法，但他表示，毛茸茸的蠕虫和严冬之间可能存在联系。)”以及“By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says.“ The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”(通过分析这些特征，研究人员可以潜在地推断出有关天气状况的信息。他说：“条纹确实表达了一些关于严冬的东西。”“唯一的问题是，它会告诉你前一年的情况。”)”可知，Mike Peters认为毛毛虫身上的颜色带可以反映过去的天气情况，而不是准确地预测未来的冬季严重程度。C选项“The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.(毛毛虫的颜色带可以成为过去天气的反映)”符合题意。故选C。 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 Boost Your Self-Esteem: Effective Tips and Strategies If you’re struggling with low self-esteem, you’re not alone.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers.“ It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked over at my boss and we exchanged a smile. With determination, I grasped the chopsticks and attempted to pick up some rice and a piece of meat. However, my fingers slipped and the food fell back onto the plate. I was swamped with a sense of embarrassment due to my failed attempts. At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying. I plucked up the courage and tried again, determined to master this skill. Through trial and error, I gradually got the hang of using chopsticks. Paragraph 2: In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I was glad that my new boss was so thoughtful that he could take everything into consideration. And I was really happy that I had decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we often went out for lunch in that restaurant. Despite facing a number of challenges, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. With the help of my friend and the patience of my boss, I was able to overcome my fear of using chopsticks and practice until I became proficient. It struck me that diversity is not about how we differ, but about embracing one another’s uniqueness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者得到了温哥华一家加拿大华人公司的工作，并被新老板邀请共进午餐进行庆祝。作者担心自己不会用筷子，为此焦虑不安，还给朋友打电话请教了，但焦虑并未缓解，作者甚至整夜未眠。第二天午餐时，作者惊讶地发现餐桌上提供了刀叉而非筷子。原来，老板提前安排了刀叉，因为他知道作者用筷子有困难，不想让作者感到尴尬。作者对老板的善解人意深感感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻下定决心，让服务员给我拿一双筷子来”可知，第一段可描写作者勇敢地使用筷子，遇到了一点挫折，但在老板的鼓励下继续尝试，逐渐掌握了技巧。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我一点也不尴尬”可知，第二段可描写作者对自己真的用了筷子感到高兴，之后常去那家餐馆用餐，坚持使用筷子，最后能够熟练使用，以及从这次经历中作者意识到文化多样性的意义。 2. 续写线索：作者决定尝试筷子——作者用筷子受挫——老板鼓励，作者取得进步——作者觉得不尴尬——作者坚持尝试筷子并成功掌握——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/hold ②鼓励：motivate/encourage/inspire ③掌握：master/command ④考虑：take sth. into consideration/take sth. into account ⑤克服：overcome/conquer 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness/uneasiness ②高兴的：glad/happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand.
