You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 B The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar. 4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her? A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited. 5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3? A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences. C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels. 6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver? A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school. C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Travel shapes a person. B. Life is like a journey. C All roads lead to Rome. D. Parents are the best teachers. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位母亲与女儿Maia之间因旅行而产生的成长故事。起初，Maia对母亲独自出行感到不解和伤心，但后来母女俩开始共同旅行，这些经历激发了Maia的勇气、领导欲和对全球视角的理解。随着Maia长大，她选择去非洲完成高中学业，这段经历使她变得更加成熟独立，让母亲意识到角色转换，现在轮到她送别自己的孩子。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. (当我的女儿Maia第一次意识到我要去旅行而没有带她时，她吓坏了。‘既然你要把我扔下，为什么还要生我呢？’她抽泣着说。)”可知，Maia第一次意识到她的妈妈要不带她出去旅行时，她感到伤心。故选A项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第三段中“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. (当她六岁的时候，我们飞往墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。)”和“ In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. (在斐济，九岁的Maia被我们遇到的富有同情心的女酋长所吸引，决定成为一名领导者。在她13岁时的一次斯里兰卡之行中，她了解了出生国的硬币翻转如何影响你的生活机会。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了Maia的旅行经历。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. (当我们结束旅行回到温哥华让她接受高中教育时，得知我们的女儿有其他想法并不令人惊讶。经过几个月的面试，Maia获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会，她非常激动。)”可知，Maia回到温哥华的家中接受高中教育时，经过面试，Maia获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会。因此，Maia回到温哥华后，申请了在非洲的一所学校。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中的“I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. (我试着告诉她，总有一天她会明白旅行的吸引力。) ”和第三段“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.(她六岁时，我们飞往墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。当我们在天然井里游泳或沿着暗礁潜水时，她是多么快乐无畏，给我留下了深刻的印象。在斐济，9岁的Maia被我们遇到的富有同情心的女酋长所吸引，她决定成为一名领袖。13岁时，她去斯里兰卡旅行，了解到出生国的命运如何影响你一生中的机遇。)”可知，文章旅描述了旅行如何影响和塑造了Maia的性格和人生观，表达了旅行对一个人的塑造作用。故选A项。 C Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy (治疗). Up to 8 percent of people report having problems with nightmares. The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to. IRT involves repeating a previous nightmare but changing it to have a more positive ending. To aid memory recall, some treatments involve an individual hearing a specific sound as they form memories and then having this same sound played to them while they sleep. This is often done during the non-rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, because dreams and nightmares are more common in REM sleep. Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups. Both groups were taught how to carry out IRT themselves at home, which they did for 5 minutes a day over two weeks. Only one group, however, listened to a neutral piano tone while they carried out their IRT. During these two weeks, both groups wore a head band every night that tracked their sleep stage by discovering brain activity. When they entered REM sleep, both groups were played the tone that only one group was exposed to during their at-home IRT. This tone was played at 10 second intervals. At the end of the two weeks, the two groups both reported having more positive dreams. By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK. “You could not only have people treated with IRT in the clinician’s room, or therapist’s room, but people could possibly be sent home with these instruments that spot the stages of sleep and have the auditory (听觉的) signal that was played when they were doing IRT presented again during sleep.” he says. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. IRT helps memory. B. IRT makes memories form. C. Not all respond to IRT. D. The new treatment is popular. 9. How did Lampros and his colleagues test the potential of IRT? A. By analyzing data. B. By performing a survey. C. By referring to documents. D. By conducting an experiment. 10. What is Mark Blagrove’s attitude towards the treatment? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To share a discovery. B. To confirm a concept. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To make an explanation. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在睡觉时听积极的声音可以减少噩梦的频率。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to.(标准的治疗方法是意象排演疗法（IRT），30%的人对此没有反应。)”可知，30%的人对IRT没有反应，即不是所有人都对IRT有反应。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups.(瑞士日内瓦大学的Lampros Perogamvros和他的同事们测试了这种方法治疗噩梦的潜力，他们首先将每周做一次以上噩梦的36人分为两组。)”及下文内容可推知，Lampros Perogamvros和他的同事们通过进行一场实验来测试IRT的潜力。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK.(英国斯旺西大学的Mark Blagrove说，通过在人们家中进行这种治疗，它可以成为一种广泛的干预措施来缓解噩梦。)”可知，Mark Blagrove认为这种疗法能够成为帮助人们在家缓解噩梦的广泛措施，由此可推测出，他对这种疗法持支持态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy(治疗).(噩梦可以通过在睡觉时听到一种声音来减少，这种声音以前与治疗期间噩梦的积极结局有关。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项发现，即在睡觉时听积极的声音可以减少噩梦的频率。故选A。 D The Earth’s population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Experts estimate food production will have to increase by 70 percent to keep pace with that growth. Previous methods of agriculture will soon no longer be an option. According to a 2018 study we have to turn away from meat and dairy products. U.S. customers have proved themselves willing to test the waters. Americans spent $1.4 billion on plant-based meat in 2021, representing a market share of 2.7 percent of all meat sales. The plant-based food companies claim their burgers use less land and water and produce less greenhouse gases. But, consider the possibility that we left our most promising resource behind in the ocean. Will you swap meat for seaweed? “I think seaweed needs branding(品牌),” says Mark Kulsdom, co-founder of the memorably-named Dutch Weed Burger. As Kulsdom explained Dutch Weed Burgers are vegetarian but for meat eaters. A decade after launching their first product, he and his partners now sell about quarter of a million burgers each year. Ultimately, Kulsdom is striving for a culture change. “I believe we need to raise interest sometimes by using a bit of an unorthodox (非正统的) approach to things,” he adds. “When people get what they already know, it’s not that interesting. When their curiosity is awakened, that’s when new things and ideas can enter their minds.” In 2008, researchers discovered 14,000-year-old seaweed fragments (碎片) in southern Chile that had been pressed into cakes and clearly been cooked. As they wrote in Science, all seaweed recovered at the site are excellent sources of iodine, iron, zinc, protein, hormones and a wide range of elements. Though Mark Kulsdom’s Dutch Weed Burger sounds futuristic, one could argue that they’re revisiting one of the oldest stories we know. 12. How are plant-based burgers according to the companies? A. They are healthy. B. They are nutritious. C. They are delicious. D. They are environmentally friendly. 13. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Leaving. B. Struggling. C. Preparing. D. Waiting. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Chile is rich in seaweed. B. Seaweed was the major food source in Chile. C. People have long been using seaweed as food. D. Mark Kulsdom’s Dutch Weed Burger is too futuristic. 15. Where is the text most likely from? A. A newspaper. B. A science fiction. C. A travel guide. D. A textbook. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。随着地球人口的不断增加, 旧的农业方式已不能满足人们对食物的需求, 科学家将目光转向了海藻。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“The plant-based food companies claim their burgers use less land and water and produce less greenhouse gases.”(植物性食品公司声称他们的汉堡使用更少的土地和水，产生更少的温室气体。) 可知植物性食品公司认为它们的汉堡“使用较少的土地和水, 产生更少的温室气体”， 是环保的。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“I believe we need to raise interest sometimes by using a bit of an unorthodox(非正统的)approach to things,” he adds. “When people get what they already know, it’s not that interesting. When their curiosity is awakened, that’s when new things and ideas can enter their minds.”（我认为我们有时需要用一些非正统的方法来提高玩家的兴趣。”“当人们得到他们已经知道的东西时，就没有那么有趣了。当他们的好奇心被唤醒时，新的事物和想法就会进入他们的脑海。）可知Kulsdom是愿意让人们对海藻食物感兴趣的, 因此推断他在努力奋斗使人们转变观念。所以划线词的意思是“奋斗”。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In 2008, researchers discovered 14,000-year-old seaweed fragments in southern Chile that had been pressed into cakes and clearly been cooked.”（2008年，研究人员在智利南部发现了1.4万年前的海藻碎片，它们被压成蛋糕，显然是煮过的。）可知，早在14000年前，人们就已经在食用海藻。由此可推知，人们长期以来一直在使用海藻作为食物。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，根据第一段“Experts estimate food production will have to increase by 70 percent to keep pace with that growth. Previous methods of agriculture will soon no longer be an option. According to a 2018 study, we have to turn away from meat and dairy products. ”（专家估计，粮食产量必须增加70%才能跟上增长的步伐。以前的农业方法将很快不再是一种选择。根据2018年的一项研究，我们必须远离肉类和乳制品。）可知，随着地球人口的不断增加, 旧的农业方式已不能满足人们对食物的需求, 科学家将目光转向了海藻。所以短文属于食品生产类的。最可能出现在报纸上。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____16____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍一些关于如何拍照的建议。 【16题详解】 前文“Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out.(很多时候，我们会在智能手机上拍照，然后立即查看屏幕，看看结果如何。)”讲述了我们用智能手机拍照后经常会立即检查拍的效果，后文“We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.(我们收集了最好的建议，以确保你知道如何在照片中看起来好看。)”讲述了会提供关于如何拍出好看照片的建议，由此可知，空处应讲述提高拍照技巧的必要性，G项“但是，如果你倾向于删除你拍摄的每一张照片，那么是时候升级你的拍照技巧了。”符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 前文“Maybe you like one side of your face better than the other. Maybe you’re completely symmetrical and can take a photo from the front.(也许你更喜欢你脸的一侧而不是另一侧。也许你是完全对称的，可以从正面拍照。)”讲述了你侧脸好看或者脸部对称的情况，后文“So snap some selfies and start to get acquainted with your best angle.(所以，拍一些自拍，开始熟悉你的最佳角度。)”讲述了要拍一些自拍来熟悉自己的最佳角度，由此可知，空处应承上启下，讲述不管怎么样都要熟悉自己的脸，B项“不管是什么情况，你都必须花时间研究你的脸。”符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Make sure the light is behind the camera.(确保光在摄像机后面。)”可知，本段主要讲述了如何让光在摄像机后面，前文“So, if you’re outside, make sure the sun is behind the camera.(所以，如果你在外面，确保太阳在摄像机后面。)”讲述了在外面的时候要确保太阳在摄像机后面，所以空处应讲述在室内的情况，D项“如果你在室内，确保窗户和照明设备在摄像机后面。”符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Take multiples.(拍多倍照片。)”可知，本段主要讲述了多拍照片，A项“你拍再多照片也不为过，对吧？”符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Invest in a good quality camera.(投资一部高质量照相机。)”可知，本段主要建议购买一部高质量相机。前文“The bad news? A good DSLR can cost anywhere from $400 on up.(坏消息？一台好的数码单反相机的价格从400美元到更高。)”讲述了好的数码单反相机价格昂贵，而本段是在推荐购买好的相机，所以空处应与上文形成转折，讲述虽然数码单反相机价格昂贵，但买它是对拍照的一笔好投资，F项“但是，如果你真的想拥有专业的外表，那么这项投资可能是值得的。”符合题意。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30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。 I’ve never been much of a jogger, but might I make a decent plogger? “Plogging” is a(n) ____21____ of “plocka upp” with “jogga”, the Swedish for “pick up” and “jog”.

A river ran through them, so not only could I climb branches, but I could turn over rocks on the riverbank and find baby eels (鳗鱼). My favorite book was called Guide to Reptiles (爬行动物). My father had given it to me for my birthday, and I read every page over and over, looking at the pictures of colorful animals. Some of the snakes were the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen, and some were described as poisonous, but still an important part of the ecosystem. Little did I know that my book would end up saving a life. My family moved to Virginia, into a new house. The houses were so new that no one had lived in them before. In fact, woods had been there first, and almost all the trees had been cut down to make room for houses and driveways. Inside our new house, everything smelled like fresh paint. Outside, no lawns had been planted, but my father tossed out grass seed and baby seedlings grew. My brother Patrick and I could not walk on them. We had to play in the driveway. All the same, I liked our new house. One of the best things about living near the woods were the animals that would come into our yard. Rabbits and turtles came over every night. It seemed as if they were only trying to go home, and instead, what they had found was a big new land where their old homes used to be. Besides playing in the driveway, we spent time in a sandbox, which my father built right next to the driveway. One day before dinner, I ran to the sandbox to build a castle but found there in the sandbox was a snake. It was lying very still, and it was beautiful. The snake had rings of color around it-red, then white, then yellow, then black. I had seen a picture just like it in my reptile book, and I remembered that it was one of the prettiest snakes in it. It said in the book that the poisonous snake looked very much like it. I was scared and ran inside. Para 1: “Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. My heart was pounding fast as I peered through the window, watching the snake lying still in the sand. My father ran out with a shovel, ready to take action, but I begged him not to hurt it. I remembered from my reptile book that snakes were an important part of the ecosystem, and I didn’t want to cause any harm to the animal. My father, sensing my concern, agreed to leave the snake alone and made a call to the local zoo for help. Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. He carefully lifted the snake with a pair of tongs and placed it in the container. As he inspected it, he praised me for not hurting it, saying that snakes are often misunderstood creatures and that they play an essential role in the ecosystem. I felt a sense of pride, knowing that my knowledge from my reptile book had helped save the life of an innocent creature. It was a moment that changed my perspective on the world and taught me to be more mindful and respectful of all creatures, big and small. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢在家附近的树林里玩耍，最喜欢的书是《爬行动物指南》，通过这本书，作者知道毒蛇在生态系统中起到重要作用，所以当有一天他在沙箱里看到一条毒蛇时，阻止了父亲伤害它，让作者感到自豪，因为从爬行动物书中获得的知识帮助拯救了一个无辜的生物的生命。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““爸爸！爸爸！沙箱里有条蛇!”我喊道。”可知，第一段可描写作者父亲打算杀死蛇，但是被作者阻止了。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个小时后，动物园专家带着一个安全的容器赶到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者因为没有伤害蛇，拯救了一条生命而感到骄傲。 2. 续写线索：在车道旁玩——发现毒蛇——告诉父亲——阻止父亲伤害蛇——专家带走蛇——为拯救生命而感到骄傲 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①仔细看：peer/stare/gaze ②造成：cause/make ③检查：inspect/check/examine 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry/apprehension ②自豪：a sense of pride/proud 【点睛】[高分句型1]My heart was pounding fast as I peered through the window, watching the snake lying still in the sand.(as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语) [高分句型1]As he inspected it, he praised me for not hurting it, saying that snakes are often misunderstood creatures and that they play an essential role in the ecosystem.(as引导的时间状语从句，现在分词作状语及that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 肇庆鼎湖中学2025届高三年级九月考试题 英语 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和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar. 4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her? A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited. 5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3? A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences. C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels. 6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver? A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school. C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Travel shapes a person. B. Life is like a journey. C All roads lead to Rome. D. Parents are the best teachers. C Nightmares could be reduced by hearing a sound while you sleep that you previously associated with a positive ending to a bad dream during therapy (治疗). Up to 8 percent of people report having problems with nightmares. The standard treatment is image rehearsal therapy (IRT), which 30 percent of people don’t respond to. IRT involves repeating a previous nightmare but changing it to have a more positive ending. To aid memory recall, some treatments involve an individual hearing a specific sound as they form memories and then having this same sound played to them while they sleep. This is often done during the non-rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, because dreams and nightmares are more common in REM sleep. Testing the potential of this approach for nightmares, Lampros Perogamvros at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and his colleagues first divided 36 people who had more than one nightmare per week into two groups. Both groups were taught how to carry out IRT themselves at home, which they did for 5 minutes a day over two weeks. Only one group, however, listened to a neutral piano tone while they carried out their IRT. During these two weeks, both groups wore a head band every night that tracked their sleep stage by discovering brain activity. When they entered REM sleep, both groups were played the tone that only one group was exposed to during their at-home IRT. This tone was played at 10 second intervals. At the end of the two weeks, the two groups both reported having more positive dreams. By carrying out this treatment in people’s homes, it could become a widespread intervention to relieve nightmares, says Mark Blagrove at Swansea University, UK. “You could not only have people treated with IRT in the clinician’s room, or therapist’s room, but people could possibly be sent home with these instruments that spot the stages of sleep and have the auditory (听觉的) signal that was played when they were doing IRT presented again during sleep.” he says. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. IRT helps memory. B. IRT makes memories form. C. Not all respond to IRT. D. The new treatment is popular. 9. How did Lampros and his colleagues test the potential of IRT? A. By analyzing data. B. By performing a survey. C. By referring to documents. D. By conducting an experiment. 10. What is Mark Blagrove’s attitude towards the treatment? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To share a discovery. B. To confirm a concept. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To make an explanation. D The Earth’s population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Experts estimate food production will have to increase by 70 percent to keep pace with that growth. Previous methods of agriculture will soon no longer be an option. According to a 2018 study, we have to turn away from meat and dairy products. U.S. customers have proved themselves willing to test the waters. Americans spent $1.4 billion on plant-based meat in 2021, representing a market share of 2.7 percent of all meat sales. The plant-based food companies claim their burgers use less land and water and produce less greenhouse gases. But, consider the possibility that we left our most promising resource behind in the ocean. Will you swap meat for seaweed? “I think seaweed needs branding(品牌),” says Mark Kulsdom, co-founder of the memorably-named Dutch Weed Burger. As Kulsdom explained Dutch Weed Burgers are vegetarian but for meat eaters. A decade after launching their first product, he and his partners now sell about quarter of a million burgers each year. Ultimately, Kulsdom is striving for a culture change. “I believe we need to raise interest sometimes by using a bit of an unorthodox (非正统的) approach to things,” he adds. “When people get what they already know, it’s not that interesting. When their curiosity is awakened, that’s when new things and ideas can enter their minds.” In 2008, researchers discovered 14,000-year-old seaweed fragments (碎片) in southern Chile that had been pressed into cakes and clearly been cooked. As they wrote in Science, all seaweed recovered at the site are excellent sources of iodine, iron, zinc, protein, hormones and a wide range of elements. Though Mark Kulsdom’s Dutch Weed Burger sounds futuristic, one could argue that they’re revisiting one of the oldest stories we know. 12. How are plant-based burgers according to the companies? A. They are healthy. B. They are nutritious. C. They are delicious. D. They are environmentally friendly. 13. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Leaving. B. Struggling. C. Preparing. D. Waiting. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Chile is rich in seaweed. B. Seaweed was the major food source in Chile. C. People have long been using seaweed as food. D. Mark Kulsdom’s Dutch Weed Burger is too futuristic. 15. Where is the text most likely from? A. A newspaper. B. A science fiction. C A travel guide. D. A textbook. 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。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____16____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.

A river ran through them, so not only could I climb branches, but I could turn over rocks on the riverbank and find baby eels (鳗鱼). My favorite book was called Guide to Reptiles (爬行动物). My father had given it to me for my birthday, and I read every page over and over, looking at the pictures of colorful animals. Some of the snakes were the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen, and some were described as poisonous, but still an important part of the ecosystem. Little did I know that my book would end up saving a life. My family moved to Virginia into a new house. The houses were so new that no one had lived in them before. In fact, woods had been there first, and almost all the trees had been cut down to make room for houses and driveways. Inside our new house, everything smelled like fresh paint. Outside, no lawns had been planted, but my father tossed out grass seed and baby seedlings grew. My brother Patrick and I could not walk on them. We had to play in the driveway. All the same, I liked our new house. One of the best things about living near the woods were the animals that would come into our yard. Rabbits and turtles came over every night. It seemed as if they were only trying to go home, and instead, what they had found was a big new land where their old homes used to be. Besides playing in the driveway, we spent time in a sandbox, which my father built right next to the driveway. One day before dinner, I ran to the sandbox to build a castle but found there in the sandbox was a snake. It was lying very still, and it was beautiful. The snake had rings of color around it-red, then white, then yellow, then black. I had seen a picture just like it in my reptile book, and I remembered that it was one of the prettiest snakes in it. It said in the book that the poisonous snake looked very much like it. I was scared and ran inside. Para 1: “Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
