When it comes to beaches, there are some excellent options to be found across the continent. Sancho Beach This beach is an amazing stretch of sand with peaceful waters. The clear waters are perfect for swimming but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end, so it isn’t particularly good for younger children or people who are physically challenged. Vichayito Beach Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones. A little further out, the waves pick up, making for fine surfing and windsurfing surroundings, while the charming village offers nice accommodation. Copacabana Beach The cold water here means it isn’t an ideal swimming location, but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach. Visit early, especially in the busy tourist seasons, not only to avoid crowds, but also to gain admittance — visitors will be turned away once the park reaches peak capacity. Jericoacoara Beach Located near the city center, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves. It isn’t too rough to swim for experienced swimmers, although a slightly rocky seafloor means you should be careful. With large crowds of people, the best time to visit is sunset-arrive early to get a good viewing spot. 21. What may make Sancho Beach difficult to reach? A. The great waves. B. Its unique location. C. Lack of boat services. D. Large crowds of tourists. 22. Which beach is the most ideal place for young children to swim? A. Sancho Beach. B. Vichayito Beach. C. Copacabana Beach. D. Jericoacoara Beach. 23. What do Copacabana Beach and Jericoacoara Beach have in common? A. They both appeal to those loving water sports. B. Tourists may be rejected due to their limited capacity. C. Tourists should arrive early to get a good viewing spot. D. They provide perfect swimming options for professionals. B On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game developed by Game Science. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various demons, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real-world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July, and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both domestically and internationally. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game? A. Its design inspiration. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its target players. D. Its cultural significance. 25. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji? A. Creating high profits for the game company. B. Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts. C. Designing impressive characters and visual effects. D. Providing a satisfying experience for players. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the game’s production team? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Confident and productive. C. Devoted and high-standard. D. Experienced and imaginative. 27. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province? A. By promoting its cultural tourism. B. By improving its international status. C. By calling for the protection of its heritage. D. By attracting investment to its game industry. C People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’ 28. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of climate change on food prices. B. The factors in the rising living costs. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 29. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By conducting a survey among farmers. B. By referring to previous studies. C By tracking some cities for years. D. By analyzing a mass of data. 30. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To call on people to pay attention to food security. B To urge farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue. C. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. D. To explain the situation of global food inflation. D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They make language more poetic. B. They help clarify abstract concepts. C. They may cause conflicts between people. D. They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33. What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Realize. B. Overlook. C. Emphasize. D. Acknowledge. 34. How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A. It stresses the importance of natural talent. B. It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C. It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on people to use metaphors properly. B. To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D. To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The majority of youngsters nowadays would rather watch a movie than read a book.

It’s my corner. Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度上学期武汉市重点中学5G联合体期中考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选这题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域军无效。 4. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What happened to the woman?

C. It’s very useful. 18. What should international students do in America? A. Make a health insurance plan. B. Have a medical examination. C. Purchase a medical insurance. 19. What is the standard form of medical care in America? A. Private doctors. B. College clinics. C. Public clinics. 20. What is the speaker mainly talking about? A. A health report. B. A health insurance plan. C. A medical examination. 【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】M: Most universities and colleges in the United States have a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around $300 a year now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical problem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should buy a medical insurance when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help you with that. Private doctors are the standard form of the medical care in America, but there are also college clinics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be different in these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leave China, I suggest you have a medical examination. If there is something wrong, you can have it cured in your own country. Don’t forget to take your personal and family health records abroad with you. They provide important and useful information if you need to go to the hospital. But remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t work too hard. 第二部分： 阅读 (共两节．满分 50 分) 第一节 阅读理解 (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 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A South America has a long and interesting coastline. When it comes to beaches, there are some excellent options to be found across the continent. Sancho Beach This beach is an amazing stretch of sand with peaceful waters. The clear waters are perfect for swimming but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end, so it isn’t particularly good for younger children or people who are physically challenged. Vichayito Beach Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones. A little further out, the waves pick up, making for fine surfing and windsurfing surroundings, while the charming village offers nice accommodation. Copacabana Beach The cold water here means it isn’t an ideal swimming location, but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach. Visit early, especially in the busy tourist seasons, not only to avoid crowds, but also to gain admittance — visitors will be turned away once the park reaches peak capacity. Jericoacoara Beach Located near the city center, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves. It isn’t too rough to swim for experienced swimmers, although a slightly rocky seafloor means you should be careful. With large crowds of people, the best time to visit is sunset-arrive early to get a good viewing spot. 21. What may make Sancho Beach difficult to reach? A. The great waves. B. Its unique location. C. Lack of boat services. D. Large crowds of tourists. 22. Which beach is the most ideal place for young children to swim? A. Sancho Beach. B. Vichayito Beach. C. Copacabana Beach. D. Jericoacoara Beach. 23. What do Copacabana Beach and Jericoacoara Beach have in common? A. They both appeal to those loving water sports. B. Tourists may be rejected due to their limited capacity. C. Tourists should arrive early to get a good viewing spot. D They provide perfect swimming options for professionals. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章主要介绍了美洲大陆的一些海滩。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据Sancho Beach部分中“but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end(但它很难进入。它只能乘船或从两端的岩石山坡上爬下来才能到达)”可知，只能乘船或从两端的岩石山坡上爬下来才能进入Sancho海滩，由此推测是因其位置独特而难以进入，故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vichayito Beach部分中“Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones.(距离海滨小镇曼科拉不远，这个可爱的海滩通常是安静祥和的，为孩子们提供了一些漂亮的浅水区)”可知，Vichayito海滩最适合年幼的孩子游泳，故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Copacabana Beach部分中“but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach(但有冲浪和帆板运动的好地方。各种水上活动使它成为一个很棒的海滩)”和Jericoacoara Beach部分中“Located near the city center, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves.(这个海滩位于市中心附近，因其巨大的海浪而受到冲浪者的欢迎)”可知，两者的共同点是都有水上运动；由此推知，它们对喜欢水上运动的人很有吸引力，故选A。 B On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game developed by Game Science. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various demons, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real-world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July, and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both domestically and internationally. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game? A. Its design inspiration. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its target players. D. Its cultural significance. 25. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji? A. Creating high profits for the game company. B. Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts. C. Designing impressive characters and visual effects. D. Providing a satisfying experience for players. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the game’s production team? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Confident and productive. C. Devoted and high-standard. D. Experienced and imaginative. 27. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province? A. By promoting its cultural tourism. B. By improving its international status. C. By calling for the protection of its heritage. D. By attracting investment to its game industry. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《黑色神话：悟空》 这款游戏的特点以及灵感来源和它所带来的影响。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West.(黑色神话：悟空借鉴了中国神话和经典小说《西游记》)”和“Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. (游戏的灵感来自周星驰的《月光宝盒》，创造了一个生动的中国风景的梦境，如遥远的山脉、荒凉的道路和古老的寺庙)”可知，这一段主要讲了这个游戏借鉴了中国古代神话以及小说，灵感来源于周星驰的电影，故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. (他认为，游戏真正价值并不取决于其预算或视觉效果，而是取决于它提供给玩家的真正享受)”可推断出，成为一个真正有价值的游戏的关键在于是否能让玩家乐在其中，提供给玩家满意的体验。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. (据新华社报道，为了创造一款真正的沉浸式的世界级游戏，游戏制作团队花了数年时间穿越中国，扫描历史和文化遗址，并将其整合到每个游戏场景中)”可以得知游戏团队为了创作这款游戏花费数年时间并将每个场景都融合到游戏中，即他们对创作这款游戏非常的投入且高标准地完成了游戏的制作，故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel.(该游戏以一种令人愉悦的、有效的方式呈现了山西的文物，激发了人们对该省的文化和旅游的兴趣)”可知，该游戏引起了人们对山西文化旅游的兴趣，刺激了山西旅游业的发展。故选A。 C People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’ 28. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of climate change on food prices. B. The factors in the rising living costs. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 29. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By conducting a survey among farmers. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By tracking some cities for years. D. By analyzing a mass of data. 30. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To call on people to pay attention to food security. B. To urge farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue. C. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. D. To explain the situation of global food inflation. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明由于全球变暖，全球粮食价格上升。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.(根据欧洲央行的一项研究，到2035年，仅气温升高一项就将使全球粮食价格每年上涨0.9%至3.2%)”以及第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021.(为了了解这是如何影响食品价格的，波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据)”可知，欧洲央行的一项研究表明气温升高使得全球粮食价格上涨，科茨和他的同事进行的研究是为了了解气温升高如何影响食品价格，即研究的重点是气候变化对全球粮食价格的影响。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later.(为了了解这是如何影响食品价格的，波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据。通过寻找食品价格与月平均温度、温度变化以及干旱和极端降雨等因素之间的关联，他们发现平均温度与一个月左右的食品价格之间存在很强的联系)”可知，研究人员通过分析大量的月度价格和天气状况数据，寻找食品价格与月平均温度、温度变化以及干旱和极端降雨等因素之间的关联，从而得出研究结论。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says.(科茨说：“这项研究没有研究价格上涨的原因，但可能的解释是极端高温正在降低产量。”)”可知，科茨认为，食品价格上涨的主要原因是极端高温。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’(科茨说：“我们需要意识到，气候变化给粮食安全带来了巨大的新挑战。变暖引发的极端天气越来越多地影响着世界各地的粮食生产。如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升，损失将变得更加严重。”)”可知，作者引用科茨所说的话，如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升，损失将变得更加严重，由此可推知，作者在最后一段意在敦促农民采取行动应对气候问题。故选B。 D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They make language more poetic. B. They help clarify abstract concepts. C. They may cause conflicts between people. D. They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33. What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Realize. B. Overlook. C. Emphasize. D. Acknowledge. 34. How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A. It stresses the importance of natural talent. B. It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C. It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on people to use metaphors properly. B. To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D. To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了比喻在生活中的应用，以及其带来的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions.(Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现，比喻可以塑造人们的视角，从而塑造他们的推理和随后的行动。)”可知，比喻可以塑造人们的思想和行为。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.(另一个例子是灯泡比喻，通常用于描述新想法，表明新想法突然出现，就像电灯开关被打开一样。然而，这个比喻意味着新想法毫不费力地出现，只有少数天才才能获得，比如艾萨克·牛顿，他被认为是从突然发现一个掉落的苹果中发展出他的引力理论的。这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新闻想法的能力，作为一种行为后果，人们可能会underestimate努力工作和持续学习在带来变革方面的作用。)”可知，作者在本段阐述灯泡比喻，利用牛顿的例子来表达灯泡比喻会使人过分强调天赋、对自己的能力产生质疑，相应地对勤奋努力的价值则有所忽视、低估。因此推断画线词与overlook意思相近。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.(与灯泡的比喻不同，种子的比喻暗示了一种理解，即产生新的想法是一个艰苦的过程，需要时间和精力。它还表明，任何人都可以成为思想的培养者，只要他们用心去做。)”可知，将一个种子培育成长需要长期的关注和养护，种子比喻的显著特征是它表明个人的持续努力。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive.(考虑到我们比喻思维的本质，我们有必要问：我们的比喻合适吗？为了自己和他人，我们有责任恰当地使用比喻。这些选择——有意识的或无意识的——可能是建设性的，也可能是破坏性的。)”可知，作者在最后一段提出问题，告诫读者要恰当合理地使用比喻，显然目的是呼吁人们正确使用比喻。故选A项。 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The majority of youngsters nowadays would rather watch a movie than read a book.

Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. My friend Tanya and her family, each carrying a chair, joined us! “Tia, You’ve got some good ideas for this corner. We need a little nature around here.” More and more neighbors showed up, waving signs and making noise, including Mrs. DiRisio. Mom inspired me to make a speech to the city call. I did so days later. “If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ” Everyone applauded at the end of my speech. A year later, the sign on the corner has made it official. Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve. We’ve got a stone bench and plans for a vegetable garden. School groups come here to collect leaves and study the insects and birds. Folks come here to walk, run or just sit, talking, laughing and listening to birds singing. My corner isn’t just mine anymore, but I’m more than happy to share it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了71号街道的拐角可以让蒂亚感受到自然的美，但是有人想要将这个街角改造成停车场。在妈妈的建议下，蒂亚采取行动，在大纸板写明自己的观点，放在街角处。内内特女士给蒂亚拍了照片，并对这个街角的设计进行了设想。第二天早上，蒂亚的照片出现在报纸上，早餐后，蒂亚和家人将椅子和大纸板拖回街角。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，我看到一些熟悉的身影向我们走来。”可知，第一段可描写越来越多的邻居出现，发声自己需要自然，蒂亚发表演讲，尝试拯救自然，得到了大家的掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容“一年后，街角的标志正式生效。”可知，第二段可描写街角的具体样子，人们可以在这里享受自然。 2.续写线索：邻居加入——蒂亚发表演讲——得到掌声——街角标志生效——街角的样子——人们在街角享受自然 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/appear ②激励：inspire/encourage/motivate ③鼓掌：applaud/clap one’s hands 情绪类 ①笑：laugh/beam/grin ②开心的：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】【高分句型1】“If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ”（运用了if引导条件状语从句） 【高分句型2】Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
