Just pick up a paper bag and some scissors at the gate, and off you go — gulping (深呼吸) lungfuls of fragrant air as you go. You can pick your way around the field and take bunches of the stuff home by the bag. There’s also a field full of sunflowers, which makes for pretty photo opportunities. The height of flowering season is late June to mid-July (so early visitors shouldn’t expect peak purple) but it’s worth keeping an eye on its Facebook page for updates to time your visit. Fun fact Thanks to being featured on a Chinese website, the farm saw a huge rise in international visitors looking for a typical British experience last year. Value for money? Field entrance is adults £6, children £3 (5 — 14s), under 5s free which includes free picking for all. The entry fee includes bag and scissors, while extra bags for children or eager adults are £4 each. Getting there By car is easiest: Take junction 10 off the A1M towards Stotfold, then follow the A507. It makes a great stop-off if you’re heading to Cambridge. Or take the train from King’s Cross to Hitchin, then a taxi to the farm. Opening hours 10 am — 5 pm daily from May 26 until the end of August, with late nights until 9 pm on selected dates in August. 1. What do we know about Hitchin Lavender? A. It encourages picking. B. It is inconveniently located. C. It offers photo-taking service. D. It is run by a Chinese web agency. 2. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old son pay for admission? A. £9. B. £12. C. £15. D. £19. 3. What is the time to enjoy Hitchin Lavender’s peak purple? A. May 26. B. August 18. C. July 8. D. April 30. B High school students in Ohio, US, are making hygiene (卫生) education fun. They are trying to make sure younger teenagers know how to keep themselves hygienic. In February, students from Scott High School’s Medical Technology Program (MTP), a hygiene education program, visited Riverside Elementary to educate the students on the importance of hygiene, including practices such as hair washing and teeth brushing. Amari Miller-Ragland, an 18-year-old student in the program, took the lead in delivering a presentation to female students at the elementary school, aiming to educate them about the significance of flossing (用牙线清洁) and brushing their teeth twice a day. Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Freeman, a high school student studying medical technology, talked to boys at Riverside about showering, brushing their teeth, handwashing and acne (粉刺) prevention. Freeman engaged with the boys, cracking jokes and fielding their questions about topics such as pimples (青春痘) and deodorant (防臭剂) recommendations. “I feel like if you come with energy, they’ll come with energy,” she said to The Blade newspaper. “You can’t just come into a presentation all boring because they’re already like, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ They want some excitement. They want some fun.” According to Brittany Antonello, an instructor in medical technology at Scott High School, the hygiene presentations were beneficial for the students, particularly as not all of them feel at ease when it comes to asking questions about their bodies. “I think at this age in sixth, seventh and eighth grade, hygiene can be awkward to hear about, to learn about,” Ms Antonello said. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond hygiene education. Some students learn how to be more hygienic and become more confident and out-going. 4. What can be learned about MTP from the first two paragraphs? A. It is intended for high school students. B. It provides practical advice on schoolwork. C. It guarantees that younger teenagers are healthy. D. It makes hygiene education fun. 5. What does Miller’s presentation focus on? A. Acne prevention. B. Pimple treatment. C. Dental hygiene. D. Body cleaning. 6. What is the key to successful presentations according to Freeman? A. Hands-on practice. B. Solid argument. C. Clear explanation. D. Enjoyable interaction. 7. Which best describes the impact of the program? A. Short-lived. B. Unidentifiable. C. Far-reaching. D. Predictable. C A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils. 8. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth. C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments. 10. What does the importance of the study lie in? A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs. C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer D Engineer Kerstin Göpfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. Göpfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones. And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab? Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.” Biologists like Rawson and Göpfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients. To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. Göpfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones. Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect. 12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us? A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines. C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines. 13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering. C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important. 14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5? A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition. C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly express? A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house. C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology. 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。 The sun is the one thing you can depend on to be there for you every day, without fail.

Yet after being declined by countless enterprises, I ended up finding a temporary job as a birthday clown to make ends meet. I had to admit that the pay of playing the clown was pretty decent, but I struggled a lot with my new identity. Every sleepless night, I couldn’t help asking myself the same question, “Shouldn’t I be a filmmaker rather than a joker doing a ridiculous job?” For certain parties, I had been assigned to play a specific character. Usually, the company would drop off a trash bag filled with a costume for me the night before the party. It was cruel, since these costumes smelled like the broken dreams of every failed actor that’d worm them before me. One night, they handed me my trash bag and said, “Tomorrow you’re going to be Batman.” At the time I had a giant mustache, and a superhero with a mustache wasn’t what parents would anticipate. But I wasn’t in the mood to alter my physical appearance for that job, because that would have meant me admitting I was more of a clown than a filmmaker. So I didn’t shave. The next day, I went to the party. I had to leave my car parked far enough away so that the kids wouldn’t see Batman driving a broken SUV. As a consequence, I had to walk to the party. Normally at these parties, all you have to do is pop in through the front door and say, “Surprise! Batman’s here!” But a group of kids playing at the front door spotted me approaching, like, a quarter of a mile away, which made me start to regret my option. I was thinking, “Gosh, my stupid mustache is going to ruin this party.” Sure enough, once I got close enough for them to start identifying the features of my face, the entire party burst into laughter. 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。 Paragraph 1: Super awkward, I turned around and wanted to drive my Batmobile away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I ran into the party, and they were all clapping their hands for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5ACBAB 6-10CABAC 11-15 BCABA 16-20 BCCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 西北师大附中 2024——2025学年第一学期期中考试试题 高三英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1 What does Jerry do for a living now?

They are trying to make sure younger teenagers know how to keep themselves hygienic. In February, students from Scott High School’s Medical Technology Program (MTP), a hygiene education program, visited Riverside Elementary to educate the students on the importance of hygiene, including practices such as hair washing and teeth brushing. Amari Miller-Ragland, an 18-year-old student in the program, took the lead in delivering a presentation to female students at the elementary school, aiming to educate them about the significance of flossing (用牙线清洁) and brushing their teeth twice a day. Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Freeman, a high school student studying medical technology, talked to boys at Riverside about showering, brushing their teeth, handwashing and acne (粉刺) prevention. Freeman engaged with the boys, cracking jokes and fielding their questions about topics such as pimples (青春痘) and deodorant (防臭剂) recommendations. “I feel like if you come with energy, they’ll come with energy,” she said to The Blade newspaper. “You can’t just come into a presentation all boring because they’re already like, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ They want some excitement. They want some fun.” According to Brittany Antonello, an instructor in medical technology at Scott High School, the hygiene presentations were beneficial for the students, particularly as not all of them feel at ease when it comes to asking questions about their bodies. “I think at this age in sixth, seventh and eighth grade, hygiene can be awkward to hear about, to learn about,” Ms Antonello said. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond hygiene education. Some students learn how to be more hygienic and become more confident and out-going. 4. What can be learned about MTP from the first two paragraphs? A. It is intended for high school students. B. It provides practical advice on schoolwork. C. It guarantees that younger teenagers are healthy. D. It makes hygiene education fun. 5. What does Miller’s presentation focus on? A. Acne prevention. B. Pimple treatment. C. Dental hygiene. D. Body cleaning. 6. What is the key to successful presentations according to Freeman? A. Hands-on practice. B. Solid argument. C. Clear explanation. D. Enjoyable interaction. 7. Which best describes the impact of the program? A. Short-lived. B. Unidentifiable. C. Far-reaching. D. Predictable. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍美国一所高中的一项卫生教育项目，详述了一群高中生是如何为一群小学生开展卫生教育的。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“High school students in Ohio, US, are making hygiene (卫生) education fun.(美国俄亥俄州的高中生让卫生教育变得有趣起来)”及第二段“In February, students from Scott High School’s Medical Technology Program (MTP), a hygiene education program, visited Riverside Elementary to educate the students on the importance of hygiene, including practices such as hair washing and teeth brushing.(今年2月，来自斯科特高中医疗技术项目（MTP）——一个卫生教育项目——的学生们访问了河滨小学，向学生们宣传卫生的重要性，包括洗手和刷牙等做法)”可知，MTP使卫生教育变得有趣。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Amari Miller-Ragland, an 18-year-old student in the program, took the lead in delivering a presentation to female students at the elementary school, aiming to educate them about the significance of flossing (用牙线清洁) and brushing their teeth twice a day.(该项目18岁的学生阿马里·米勒-拉格兰带头向小学的女学生做了一次演讲，旨在教育她们使用牙线和每天刷牙两次的重要性)”可知，米勒的演讲重点是口腔卫生。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I feel like if you come with energy, they’ll come with energy(我觉得如果你带着能量来，他们也会带着能量来)”及“They want some excitement. They want some fun.(他们想要一些刺激。他们想找点乐子)”可知，弗里曼认为，成功演讲的关键是愉快的互动。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond hygiene education. Some students learn how to be more hygienic and become more confident and out-going.(她补充说，该项目的好处不仅仅是卫生教育。一些学生学习如何更卫生，变得更自信和外向)”可推知，她认为这一项目影响是深远的。故选C。 C A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain, ” Benites- Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez- Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils. 8. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth. C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments. 10. What does the importance of the study lie in? A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs. C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”可知，史前海牛被两种不同的动物攻击。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find, ” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”(“你看过蝙蝠侠电影吗？有一个场景，他和阿尔弗雷德正在射击子弹，试图找出他们试图找到特定类型的子弹，”该研究的主要作者贝尼特斯-帕洛米诺说。“我们的研究是以完全相同的方式进行的。我们在捕食者攻击猎物的野外进行了这些实验，然后我们试图比较哪种场景最适合我们在那里发现的东西。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了研究的方法。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.(这一发现意义重大，因为它增加了有限的多种捕食者与单一猎物相互作用的化石记录。这种相互作用在今天的生态系统中很常见，但很少有化石记录，这使得这一发现成为理解古代食物网的重要拼图)”可知，这项研究的重要性在于提供对古代食物网的见解。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”结合本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。故C选项“鲨鱼和鳄鱼吃了倒霉的海牛”符合文章标题。故选C。 D Engineer Kerstin Göpfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. Göpfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones. And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab? Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.” Biologists like Rawson and Göpfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients. To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. Göpfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones. Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect. 12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us? A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines. C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines. 13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering. C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important. 14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5? A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition. C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly express? A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house. C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家在生命工程和纳米技术领域的研究进展，特别是关于如何制造能在细胞内工作的微型机器（纳米机器）来替代或修复受损的生物机器（蛋白质）。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.(我们的细胞已经充满了自然形成的机器，执行着生命活动的日常任务。其中许多是蛋白质。但有时我们的天然蛋白质机器会出现故障。生物机器损坏会引发许多疾病，因此科学家们正在考虑如何修复有缺陷的蛋白质。他们可能会用人工神经来替换受损的神经。)”可知，第二段作者想要介绍一下科学家们想要创造新型生物机器的背景知识，也就是希望用这种新型生物机器修复有缺陷的蛋白质和替换受损的神经。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what bi ology does.”(当Frankie Rawson还是学生的时候，他就问过老师这个问题。现在，作为英国诺丁汉大学的一名纳米技术专家，Rawson已经回答了自己的问题：“事实证明，我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长。”)”可知，第四段提到Rawson主要是因为他曾作为学生时向老师提出过关于在实验室制造新蛋白质的问题，而现在作为纳米技术专家的他回答了这个问题，指出“我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长”。这表明在实验室制造蛋白质是困难的。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.(他们正在创造能做蛋白质相同工作的纳米机器。有了正确的设计，这些纳米机器可以更容易、更廉价地完成工作。它们使用的成分更少，因此也可以更加稳定。)”可知，他们找到了一种解决方法来解决上文提到的不擅长人工复制生物的问题。由此可知，划线词workground为“解决方法”之意。选项A“A new dilemma (一个新的困境)”；选项B“A difficult condition (一个困难的状况)”；选项C“An alternative solution (一个替代的解决方案)”；选项D“An unbelievable story (一个不可思议的故事)”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists have learned to make small synthetic(合成的)biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.(科学家们已经学会了进行小型合成生物学修复。我们的细胞必须协同工作。“可以把它们想象成房屋的布线，” Rawson说。拨动开关，灯就会亮。这是一个大规模的效果。但系统中的每一个小部件都必须正常工作，才能实现这一最终效果。)”可知，最后一段通过将人体细胞比作房屋的布线，强调每个小部分都必须正常工作才能达到最终效果，这突出了合成生物学所需的精确性和准确性。故选D。 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。 The sun is the one thing you can depend on to be there for you every day, without fail.

Yet after being declined by countless enterprises, I ended up finding a temporary job as a birthday clown to make ends meet. I had to admit that the pay of playing the clown was pretty decent, but I struggled a lot with my new identity. Every sleepless night, I couldn’t help asking myself the same question, “Shouldn’t I be a filmmaker rather than a joker doing a ridiculous job?” For certain parties, I had been assigned to play a specific character. Usually, the company would drop off a trash bag filled with a costume for me the night before the party. It was cruel, since these costumes smelled like the broken dreams of every failed actor that’d worm them before me. One night, they handed me my trash bag and said, “Tomorrow you’re going to be Batman.” At the time I had a giant mustache, and a superhero with a mustache wasn’t what parents would anticipate. But I wasn’t in the mood to alter my physical appearance for that job, because that would have meant me admitting I was more of a clown than a filmmaker. So I didn’t shave. The next day, I went to the party. I had to leave my car parked far enough away so that the kids wouldn’t see Batman driving a broken SUV. As a consequence, I had to walk to the party. Normally at these parties, all you have to do is pop in through the front door and say, “Surprise! Batman’s here!” But a group of kids playing at the front door spotted me approaching, like, a quarter of a mile away, which made me start to regret my option. I was thinking, “Gosh, my stupid mustache is going to ruin this party.” Sure enough, once I got close enough for them to start identifying the features of my face, the entire party burst into laughter. 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。 Paragraph 1: Super awkward, I turned around and wanted to drive my Batmobile away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I ran into the party, and they were all clapping their hands for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Super awkward, I turned around and wanted to drive my Batmobile away. At the sight of my strange behavior, the laughter from these kids faded away all of a sudden. “Is Batman escaping?” asked a child, his voice filled with genuine concern. I found myself rooted to the ground, unable to inch forward. Some awful memories flashed back in front of my eyes, making me feel my blood freeze. My heart was beating painfully fast, and my mind went totally blank. Another child broke the ice by yelling from the top of his lungs, “Batman never escapes!” It was his inspiring words that brought me back to reality, and I eventually gathered up my courage to do what Batman would do. I ran into the party, and they were all clapping their hands for me. Unaffected by my previous move, the birthday boy jumped for joy and threw himself into my arms. I failed to contain my feelings, excitement written all over my face. It struck me that I was the only one bothered by me and my mustache. Feeling on top of the world, I cracked a smile at these little angels and opened my mouth, “Batman’s here! Who wants to fight against bad guys with me?” “Me!” they replied in chorus, and a trace of joy can be noticed in their voices, for which my long-lost confidence found its way back. Cape blowing in the wind, tears welling up in my eyes, I got rid of insecurity and self-doubt lingering in my heart and resolved to stay positive in the face of adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章的主旨是作者是电影学院的毕业生在求职失败后，不得不暂时从事扮演小丑的工作来维持生计。在一次被要求扮演蝙蝠侠的派对上，他因未刮胡子而被孩子们嘲笑，但最终通过孩子们的鼓励和自己的勇气，他克服了自卑和不安，重拾了信心和乐观态度。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“超级尴尬，我转过身想把我的蝙蝠车开走。”可知，第一段可描写作者在现场想要逃跑，觉得十分尴尬难堪，但是受到了孩子们真挚的关心，重拾信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“我跑进派对，他们都在为我鼓掌。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到孩子们的鼓励后，继续表演并且与孩子们积极地互动，从而摆脱了心中挥之不去的不安和自我怀疑，决心以积极的态度面对逆境。 2.续写线索： 想要逃跑——孩子们的询问和鼓励——回归现实，继续表演——兴奋溢于言表——与孩子们积极互动——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.前进：inch forward/move forward ②.大喊：yell/scream/shout ③.控制情绪：contain one’s feeling/hold back/resist one’s feeling 情绪类 ①.激动：excitement/exhilaration ②.喜悦：joy/delight/cheer 【点睛】[高分句型1].
