Located in Washington, it’s home to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the country. Space Needle You’ll get the opportunity to climb to a few levels of the observation tower and admire the impressive views of the Mississippi River and the mountains. You’ll also be able to visit the Loupe Lounge to enjoy a circling glass floor experience and seat on a Skyriser — an angled glass bench on the open-air observation deck. Underground History Tour This one-hour, small-group tour will take you into the fascinating world beneath Seattle’s streets. You’ll travel along the underground pathways constructed over a century ago and learn details about Seattle’s early history from your knowledgeable guide. You’ll hear stories of the Klondike Gold Rush, Skid Row and the area’s original inhabitants (居民). Seattle Harbor Cruise On this guided cruise, you’ll get a chance to admire the sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains and learn more about the history of the city. You’ll head to Puget Sound to see a variety of wildlife in the inland body of water.

B My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy! I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal. And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world. I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary. As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life. 4. What do we know about the author? A. He is inexperienced in raising pets. B. He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire. C. He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets. D. He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets. 5. What does the author think of Pedro? A. Dangerous but loyal. B. Playful and gentle. C. Adorable but troublesome. D. Annoying and fierce. 6. What can we infer according to paragraph 4? A. Dogs are man’s best friends. B. It is worthless to have a dog. C. Puppies are unfriendly to humans. D. It is challenging to train a puppy. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To recommend a reliable platform. B. To share a fun experience. C. To offer evidence for an argument. D. To advertise a practical product. C Air conditioning use has exploded in the last 30 years. According to U. S. Census data in1993, just about three- quarters of single family homes in the Midwest had air conditioning. In the West and Northeast, it was just about half. Now, all regions are pushing 100 percent air conditioning coverage. In the South, it’s been at about 100 percent since the early 1990s. As the cost of air conditioning installation has gone down, and temperatures have gone up, Americans have been offered an opportunity for a steady indoor temperature year-round, regardless of the weather outside. This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us. A conditioned climate allows us to completely ignore the changing seasons and our warming planet. Only listening to people who agree with us — or trying to silence those who disagree — creates our own, individually conditioned realities. New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences “atomize” our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets. Cars allowed us to shop in other towns, reducing reliance on local businesses. A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors, and by extension, eroding community structures and institutions (often called “third places”, in contrast to work and home). Air conditioning allowed us to stay inside in the heat, limiting a play-based childhood where kids run around with each other and make their own fun. What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected. 8 What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Air conditioning easily shapes our individual personality. B. Air conditioned houses are more comfortable than others. C. Air conditioning can reduce our connection with the world. D. Air conditioning is accessible to every household in the US. 9. Why does the author mention Haidt? A. To promote his recent book. B. To illustrate technological advances. C. To praise human self- reliance. D. To reveal the harm of air conditioning. 10. What does the word “eroding” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Constructing. B. Destroying. C. Avoiding. D. Improving. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Turn off Air Conditioning for a Bit B. Experience Your Life to the Fullest C. Keep Away from Air Conditioned Houses D. Never Create Our Own Conditioned Realities D There are functioning steam railways in other countries: tourists in France can go for a ride in Brittany; so can visitors travelling to the Dandenong Ranges in Australia. But no other country has a heritage railway sector anywhere near as energetic as the UK’s, where more than 170 services cross around 600 miles of track and call at 460 stations. Just a few years after the first of these railways opened at Talyllyn in north Wales, in1951, a fictional Welsh steam engine became the main character in the children’s television serial Ivor the Engine. On lines originally built for slate quarries (石板采石场), north Wales still has the biggest group of steam railways, but they exist in all four nations of the UK, typically operating seasonal timetables in tourist areas. These railways are living museums with stations decorated in period style. Some staff wear costumes too. Up to 95% of the 18. 5m journeys on heritage railways each year are taken by domestic tourists. They owe their popularity to a combination of nostalgia (怀旧), enjoyment of the countryside and enthusiasm for the old engines. Railways are expensive to run, and the first steam preservation enthusiasts recognised that they would need volunteers to make their dream of a revival come true. This reliance on volunteers is partly due to cuts in budgets from local authorities and other funders. But heritage railways are a good example of what can be achieved by a combined paid and voluntary workforce. As well as the economic contribution that the railways make to rural areas, there is evidence that volunteering can have beneficial effects on people as well. The railways will need to respond, like the rest of the society, to environmental policies. The destructive impact of greenhouse gases is an obvious challenge to a sector that trades on an image of coal-powered transport. Electric railway engines are being used for maintenance, to bring emissions down, and some railways are active in wildlife conservation. There will need to be further adaptation down the line. That the railways don’t stand still has always been part of their appeal especially on rainy days in the summer holidays. 12. How are the UK’s steam railways different from other countries'? A. They are active across the countries. B. They serve as tourist attractions. C. They are mainly powered by steam. D. They use small amounts of energy. 13. Why does the author mention Ivor the Engine? A. To spread knowledge of the classic serial. B. To introduce the origin of steam engines. C. To show the popularity of steam railways. D. To share a childhood memory of travelling. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Volunteers help to keep heritage railways alive. B. Economic growth depends on individual efforts. C. People can’t afford to travel by heritage railway. D. Local officials don’t use old means of transport. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards heritage railways? A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Appreciative. D. Negative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 A recent study in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series has a great influence when it comes to the question of how sharks will interact with humans as climate change continues to worsen. It predicts a world where humans and sharks will encounter more often than the present case. Contrary to popular media descriptions that speak ill of sharks, humans will not be in that much trouble when this happens.____16____, in which millions of innocent sharks are the big losers due to human activity beyond their control. First, let’s explore why sharks and humans will probably be running into each other’s world more often. One reason is the field of urban ecology and, specifically, how different species respond when they come across humans. ____17____; think of raccoons (浣熊) that search for food from rubbish and pigeons (鸽子) that stay on statues in major cities all over the planet. On the other hand, there are urban avoiders, or animals that avoid major cities out of self-protection; ____18____ The researchers initially believed that sharks would also be urban avoiders. ____19____. Scientists learned that space use patterns of tracked sharks were consistent with that of urban adapters. ____20____. The reality, however, is that humans have driven sharks to the edge of extinction while shark attacks on people remain quite rare. Humans are not sharks’ preferred prey (猎物), and the likelihood of increased human-shark interactions causes far more of a threat to sharks than to humans. A. Surprisingly, that’s not the case B. It will instead be a heartbreaking tragedy C. Humans have a long lasting fear against sharks D. Therefore, they think the sharks won’t get too close to us E. Large animals like wolves and mountain lions fall into this category F. Tigers and lions are so dangerous that we keep them away from our cities G. If a species thinks its members can get along just great with us, they are known as urban adapters 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman when he heard a strange sound.

With the drama festival approaching the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up. As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began. My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess. The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!. I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练). 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。 The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BABCA 6-10 BCABC 11-15 BACAB 16-20 ACBBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省扬州中学2024-2025学年第一学期期中试题 高二英语 试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟 注意事项: 1.作答第I卷前，请考生务必将自己的姓名、考试证号等写在答题卡上并贴上条形码 2.将选择题答案填写在答题卡的指定位置上(使用机读卡的用2B铅笔在机读卡上填涂)，非选择题一律在答题卡上作答，在试卷上答题无效。 3.考试结束后，请将机读卡和答题卡交监考人员。 第I卷（选择题共85分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每题1分，满分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。 1.

You can even step aboard a Boeing plan and view a space shuttle in the Aviation Pavilion.(在里面，你会发现175架飞机和航天器，数千件文物和罕见的照片。你将了解从卑微的开始到第一次和第二次世界大战战斗机的飞行历史。你甚至可以登上波音公司的飞机，在航空馆观看航天飞机)”可知，Museum of Flight能帮助你了解太空冒险。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Seattle Harbor Cruise部分“The cruise comes with a full-service bar aboard where you can purchase cocktails, local wine, beer, snacks and much more while relaxing on the tour.(游轮上有一个提供全方位服务的酒吧，您可以在这里购买鸡尾酒、当地葡萄酒、啤酒、小吃等，同时在旅途中放松身心)”可知，在Seattle Harbor Cruise，游客可以享受各种各样的食物和饮料。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If you’re searching for a vacation spot that hits both your fix for city life and access to nature, Seattle is the perfect place to visit.(如果你正在寻找一个既能适应城市生活又能接触自然的度假胜地，西雅图是一个完美的旅游之地)”可知，在这四个旅游景点，你可以适应城市生活并接触自然，你能得到精神放松。故选A。 B My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy! I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal. And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world. I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary. As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life. 4. What do we know about the author? A. He is inexperienced in raising pets. B. He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire. C. He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets. D. He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets. 5. What does the author think of Pedro? A. Dangerous but loyal. B. Playful and gentle. C. Adorable but troublesome. D. Annoying and fierce. 6. What can we infer according to paragraph 4? A. Dogs are man’s best friends. B. It is worthless to have a dog. C. Puppies are unfriendly to humans. D. It is challenging to train a puppy. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A To recommend a reliable platform. B. To share a fun experience. C. To offer evidence for an argument. D. To advertise a practical product. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者妻子心仪已久的Vizsla犬Pedro加入家庭的生活，带来欢乐也伴随着幼犬期的挑战。它与孩子间的温馨互动、户外共行加固了家庭纽带。作者认为专业宠物养护平台对新手主人至关重要。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal. (虽然当你把孩子介绍给他们不认识的狗时，显然必须小心，因为你不知道它会怎么表现，但当我看到孩子们走过佩德罗时害怕的时候，我总是很难过。我认为让孩子们学习如何照顾动物是很好的。)”可知，作者对于孩子们因不了解而害怕宠物感到遗憾。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world. (与此同时，我认为最有意义的是，看到他和孩子们相处得有多好。他很冷静，很有保护欲，很有爱心，我们就是他的世界。)”和第四段中“He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary. (他从来没有攻击性，但他像小狗一样爱咬，经常把你的衣服扯出来，在上面咬出洞，这很烦人。他咬家具——我的沙发几乎立不住；木腿几乎都碎了。显然，在家里训练狗的压力很大，在公园里它对着陌生人跳来跳去然后跑开，总是让人很害怕。)”可知，作者认为Pedro可爱但麻烦。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗).

(作为一只小狗的新主人，你从社交媒体、杂志、其他狗主人和朋友那里得到的建议太多了，所以找到一个你信任的信息来源是如此重要，这可能是一个真正的转折点。我知道被相互矛盾的信息轰炸是什么感觉，所以作为一个新的小狗主人，我真的很欢迎Royal Canin的“One in a Billion”平台。这是为新狗主人提供的一站式服务：一个可靠信息的单一来源，对你的小狗的早期生活非常有帮助。)”可知，最后一段提到了Royal Canin的“One in a Billion”，强调这是一个一站式服务，为新狗主人提供了可信的信息来源，帮助他们度过养小狗的早期阶段，这显然是在推荐一个平台给读者。故选A。 C Air conditioning use has exploded in the last 30 years. According to U. S. Census data in1993, just about three- quarters of single family homes in the Midwest had air conditioning. In the West and Northeast, it was just about half. Now, all regions are pushing 100 percent air conditioning coverage. In the South, it’s been at about 100 percent since the early 1990s. As the cost of air conditioning installation has gone down, and temperatures have gone up, Americans have been offered an opportunity for a steady indoor temperature year-round, regardless of the weather outside. This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us. A conditioned climate allows us to completely ignore the changing seasons and our warming planet. Only listening to people who agree with us — or trying to silence those who disagree — creates our own, individually conditioned realities. New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences “atomize” our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets. Cars allowed us to shop in other towns, reducing reliance on local businesses. A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors, and by extension, eroding community structures and institutions (often called “third places”, in contrast to work and home). Air conditioning allowed us to stay inside in the heat, limiting a play-based childhood where kids run around with each other and make their own fun. What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected. 8. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Air conditioning easily shapes our individual personality. B. Air conditioned houses are more comfortable than others. C. Air conditioning can reduce our connection with the world. D. Air conditioning is accessible to every household in the US. 9. Why does the author mention Haidt? A. To promote his recent book. B. To illustrate technological advances. C. To praise human self- reliance. D. To reveal the harm of air conditioning. 10. What does the word “eroding” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Constructing. B. Destroying. C. Avoiding. D. Improving. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Turn off Air Conditioning for a Bit B. Experience Your Life to the Fullest C. Keep Away from Air Conditioned Houses D. Never Create Our Own Conditioned Realities 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出长时间待在空调房中会导致一些问题，以及其引用对手机和社交媒体的批判，间接影射空调的危害。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us.(这种对舒适的追求迫使我们与周围发生的事情脱节)”可知，空调会减少我们与世界的联系。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences ‘atomize’ our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets.(纽约大学教授和社会心理学家Jonathan Haidt展示了便利的舒适是如何‘原子化’我们的社会结构的。每一项使我们的生活更轻松的新技术也使我们对他人的依赖减少。海特的重点是智能手机和社交媒体，正如他在最近的书中所探讨的那样，但早在我们口袋里有机器人之前，我们的社会就已经分裂成越来越小的碎片)”可知，作者提到海特是为了揭示空调的危害。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors(电视机为人们在晚上提供了一些事情，减少了与邻居一起闲逛的需要)”以及后文“community structures and institutions (often called ‘third places’, in contrast to work and home)(社区结构和机构（通常被称为‘第三场所’，与工作和家庭相对）)”可知，电视机为人们在晚上提供了一些事情，减少了与邻居一起闲逛的需要，因此破坏了社区结构和机构，故划线词意思是“损害，破坏”。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected.(如果我们都关掉空调，打开窗户，真正体验真实的生活，而不是我们制造的生活，会怎么样？我们可能不太舒服，但可能更有联系)”结合文章指出长时间待在空调房中会导致一些问题，以及其引用对手机和社交媒体的批判，间接影射空调的危害。可知，A选项“暂时关掉空调”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D There are functioning steam railways in other countries: tourists in France can go for a ride in Brittany; so can visitors travelling to the Dandenong Ranges in Australia. But no other country has a heritage railway sector anywhere near as energetic as the UK’s, where more than 170 services cross around 600 miles of track and call at 460 stations. Just a few years after the first of these railways opened at Talyllyn in north Wales, in1951, a fictional Welsh steam engine became the main character in the children’s television serial Ivor the Engine. On lines originally built for slate quarries (石板采石场), north Wales still has the biggest group of steam railways, but they exist in all four nations of the UK, typically operating seasonal timetables in tourist areas. These railways are living museums with stations decorated in period style. Some staff wear costumes too. Up to 95% of the 18. 5m journeys on heritage railways each year are taken by domestic tourists. They owe their popularity to a combination of nostalgia (怀旧), enjoyment of the countryside and enthusiasm for the old engines. Railways are expensive to run, and the first steam preservation enthusiasts recognised that they would need volunteers to make their dream of a revival come true. This reliance on volunteers is partly due to cuts in budgets from local authorities and other funders. But heritage railways are a good example of what can be achieved by a combined paid and voluntary workforce. As well as the economic contribution that the railways make to rural areas, there is evidence that volunteering can have beneficial effects on people as well. The railways will need to respond, like the rest of the society, to environmental policies. The destructive impact of greenhouse gases is an obvious challenge to a sector that trades on an image of coal-powered transport. Electric railway engines are being used for maintenance, to bring emissions down, and some railways are active in wildlife conservation. There will need to be further adaptation down the line. That the railways don’t stand still has always been part of their appeal especially on rainy days in the summer holidays. 12. How are the UK’s steam railways different from other countries'? A. They are active across the countries. B. They serve as tourist attractions. C. They are mainly powered by steam. D. They use small amounts of energy. 13. Why does the author mention Ivor the Engine? A. To spread knowledge of the classic serial. B. To introduce the origin of steam engines. C. To show the popularity of steam railways. D. To share a childhood memory of travelling. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Volunteers help to keep heritage railways alive. B. Economic growth depends on individual efforts. C. People can’t afford to travel by heritage railway. D. Local officials don’t use old means of transport. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards heritage railways? A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Appreciative. D. Negative. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了其他国家也有运营的蒸汽铁路，但英国的遗产铁路业最为活跃。这些铁路不仅是旅游热点，还承载着怀旧情感和对老式机车的热爱。它们依赖志愿者和付费员工的共同努力来维持运营，并对乡村经济做出贡献。同时，铁路部门也在积极适应环境政策，减少排放，参与野生动物保护，展现出不断进取的精神。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But no other country has a heritage railway sector anywhere near as energetic as the UK’s, where more than 170 services cross around 600 miles of track and call at 460 stations.(但没有一个国家的遗产铁路业能与英国相提并论，英国拥有超过170项服务，跨越约600英里的轨道，途经460个车站)”可知，英国的蒸汽铁路在全国都很活跃。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Just a few years after the first of these railways opened at Talyllyn in north Wales, in1951, a fictional Welsh steam engine became the main character in the children’s television serial Ivor the Engine. On lines originally built for slate quarries (石板采石场), north Wales still has the biggest group of steam railways(1951年，威尔士北部塔尔利林的第一条此类铁路开通后仅几年，一部以虚构的威尔士蒸汽机车为主角的儿童电视连续剧《Ivor the Engine》便问世了。在原本为石板采石场修建的铁路线上，威尔士北部至今仍拥有规模最大的蒸汽铁路群)”可推知，作者提到《Ivor the Engine》是为了展示蒸汽铁路的受欢迎程度。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Railways are expensive to run, and the first steam preservation enthusiasts recognised that they would need volunteers to make their dream of a revival come true. This reliance on volunteers is partly due to cuts in budgets from local authorities and other funders.(铁路运营成本高昂，而早期的蒸汽机车保护爱好者们认识到，要实现复兴的梦想，他们需要志愿者。这种对志愿者的依赖部分原因是地方当局和其他资助者削减了预算)”可推知，志愿者帮助保持遗产铁路的活力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“These railways are living museums with stations decorated in period style.(这些铁路是活生生的博物馆，车站装饰着时代风格)”和文章最后一段“Electric railway engines are being used for maintenance, to bring emissions down, and some railways are active in wildlife conservation. There will need to be further adaptation down the line.(电动铁路机车正被用于维护工作以减少排放，一些铁路公司也在积极参与野生动物保护。未来还需要沿着这一方向进行更多的适应性调整)”可推知，作者对遗产铁路持有赞赏的态度。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 A recent study in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series has a great influence when it comes to the question of how sharks will interact with humans as climate change continues to worsen. It predicts a world where humans and sharks will encounter more often than the present case. Contrary to popular media descriptions that speak ill of sharks, humans will not be in that much trouble when this happens.____16____, in which millions of innocent sharks are the big losers due to human activity beyond their control. First, let’s explore why sharks and humans will probably be running into each other’s world more often. One reason is the field of urban ecology and, specifically, how different species respond when they come across humans. ____17____; think of raccoons (浣熊) that search for food from rubbish and pigeons (鸽子) that stay on statues in major cities all over the planet. On the other hand, there are urban avoiders, or animals that avoid major cities out of self-protection; ____18____ The researchers initially believed that sharks would also be urban avoiders. ____19____. Scientists learned that space use patterns of tracked sharks were consistent with that of urban adapters. ____20____. The reality, however, is that humans have driven sharks to the edge of extinction while shark attacks on people remain quite rare. Humans are not sharks’ preferred prey (猎物), and the likelihood of increased human-shark interactions causes far more of a threat to sharks than to humans. A. Surprisingly, that’s not the case B. It will instead be a heartbreaking tragedy C. Humans have a long lasting fear against sharks D. Therefore, they think the sharks won’t get too close to us E. Large animals like wolves and mountain lions fall into this category F. Tigers and lions are so dangerous that we keep them away from our cities G. If a species thinks its members can get along just great with us, they are known as urban adapters 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了为什么随着气候变化继续恶化，鲨鱼和人类可能会更频繁地闯入对方的世界。 【16题详解】 B选项“相反，这将是一场令人心碎的悲剧”与上文“Contrary to popular media descriptions that speak ill of sharks, humans will not be in that much trouble when this happens. (与大众媒体描述的鲨鱼坏话相反，当这种情况发生时，人类不会有那么多麻烦)”形成转折关系，讲述与上文相反的情况，引出下文“in which millions of innocent sharks are the big losers due to human activity beyond their control (由于人类活动超出其控制范围，数百万无辜鲨鱼成为最大的输家)”鲨鱼将面临的悲惨境地。故选B项。 【17题详解】 G选项“如果一个物种认为它的成员可以与我们相处得很好，那么它们被称为城市适应者”承接上文“One reason is the field of urban ecology and, specifically, how different species respond when they come across humans. (一个原因是城市生态学领域，特别是不同物种遇到人类时的反应)”讲某个物种遇到人类的可能反应，G选项中“urban adapters (城市适应者)”对应下文“On the other hand, there are urban avoiders, or animals that avoid major cities out of self-protection (另一方面，有城市回避者，或出于自我保护而避开大城市的动物)”中的“urban avoiders (城市回避者)”。故选G项。 【18题详解】 E选项“像狼和山狮这样的大型动物属于这一类”承接上文“On the other hand, there are urban avoiders, or animals that avoid major cities out of self-protection (另一方面，有城市回避者，或出于自我保护而避开大城市的动物)”具体举例狼和山狮，说明避开大城市的城市回避型动物。故选E项。 【19题详解】 A选项“令人惊讶的是，事实并非如此”与上文“The researchers initially believed that sharks would also be urban avoiders. (研究人员最初认为鲨鱼也会成为城市回避者)”形成转折关系，表明鲨鱼并非城市回避者，引出下文“Scientists learned that space use patterns of tracked sharks were consistent with that of urban adapters. (科学家们了解到，被追踪鲨鱼的空间使用模式与城市适应者的一致)”讲明鲨鱼其实是城市适应者。故选A项。 【20题详解】 C选项“人类对鲨鱼有着持久的恐惧”与下文“The reality, however, is that humans have driven sharks to the edge of extinction while shark attacks on people remain quite rare. Humans are not sharks’ preferred prey (猎物), and the likelihood of increased human-shark interactions causes far more of a threat to sharks than to humans. (然而，现实是，人类已经将鲨鱼逼到了灭绝的边缘，而鲨鱼袭击人类的事件仍然相当罕见。人类不是鲨鱼的首选猎物，人与鲨鱼互动增加的可能性对鲨鱼的威胁远大于对人类的威胁)”形成转折关系，表明人类虽害怕鲨鱼，但对鲨鱼造成威胁的反而是人类，突出一种强烈的对比感。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman when he heard a strange sound.

He swam about five feet toward her, took ___32___ of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then lifted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where ___33___ bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner. A few more minutes in the pond, and the dog would have likely died. The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner ___34___ to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked.

With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up. As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began. My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess. The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!. I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练). 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。 The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened. As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me. But then, as I started to act out my role, something shifted. Mr. Ellison’s words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed myself in the character of the old woman. My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role. To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers. This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one. Finally, the great day arrived, and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. As the curtains opened, a rush of excitement filled me. I delivered my lines with conviction, feeling more alive on stage than I had ever been. The audience laughed at my humorous lines, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. When the final curtain fell, the applause was deafening. Mr. Ellison’s words had been right — every role was important. I had found my place in the spotlight, not as a princess, but as an old woman who helped a soldier. And it was enough. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱舞蹈的女孩报名参加学校戏剧俱乐部的《十二个跳舞的公主》试镜，期望成为明星舞者。试镜后她自信将被选为公主，却最终被分配扮演帮助士兵的老妇人。女孩深感失望，顾问老师安慰并鼓励她尝试排练。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我拖着自己来到排练现场。”可知，第一段可描写女孩虽然失望但仍然参加排练，以及在排练过程中的心态转变和发现自身角色的价值。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，那个伟大的日子到来了，‘老妇人’迫不及待地想要登上舞台。”可知，第二段可描写女孩在正式演出时的表现和心路历程，以及演出结束后的感受和收获。 2. 续写线索：女孩失望参加排练——逐渐投入角色——发现角色价值——正式演出表现出色——获得认可和成就感 3. 词汇激活 行类 ①改变：shift/change ②投入：immerse/engage in ③发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①失望的：disheartened/disappointed ②嫉妒的：jealous/envious ③令我惊讶的是：to my surprise/to my amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me.
