Many ancient cave paintings, which mark the first known examples of artwork by prehistorical humans, are so deep under the ground that it would have taken extraordinary effort to view them. So, if you’re an ancient artist, what might inspire you to paint scenes of life? As it turns out, Israeli archaeologists may have figured out the answer. The artists were tripping — literally. According to a new paper in “Time and Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness and Culture”, the humans who ventured into these underground places during the Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,000 years ago) would have needed to light torches in order to see what they were doing. In the process, they would have reduced the amount of oxygen in the caves, inducing hypoxia (缺氧) in their brains. That, in turn, would have put them in a state of changed consciousness, experiencing excitement, out - of - body experiences and even hallucinations (幻觉). These different states of consciousness could have been a cause for creating cave art seen as a way to communicate with things on the other side of the wall. “We discuss the significance of caves in local world views and claim that entering these deep, dark environments was a conscious choice, motivated by an understanding of the transformative nature of an underground, oxygen-lack space,” the authors write. The researchers suggest that caves and rock shelters are likely to have been viewed as doors to an underground world associated with prosperity and growth. They indicate that the rock face was seen as a “tissue” connecting the here and now and the world beyond, “allowing early humans to maintain their connectedness with the universe”. The humans who used them would have viewed the caves as sacred (神圣的) spaces, locations that deserved awe and respect. “It was not the decoration that demonstrated the significance of caves,” the authors write. “Rather, the significance of the chosen caves was the reason for their decoration.” 4. What does the author think “The artists were tripping.”? A. They painted in a confused state of mind. B. They had no fixed settlement to create art. C. They attempted to create a new painting style. D. Their inspiration of painting came from the trips. 5. How did the researchers view caves and rock shelters’ role in early humans’ lives? A. They offered them hiding places. B. They were their spiritual gateways. C. They were their sources of creativity. D. They stood for prosperity and growth. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Art creation on the rocks made the caves more important. B. The caves themselves mattered compared to the art creation. C. It was rather tough for artists to choose the caves for painting. D. The caves decorated with paintings reminded people of the past. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The earliest art form in human civilization. B. The significance of caves in Israeli. C. The introduction to cave paintings in Israeli. D. Ancient artists’ way to explore the world. C In a move aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help fight the global climate crisis, the Dutch city of Haarlem is set to become the first in the world to ban advertisements for meat. Beginning in 2024, advertisements for meat will be forbidden on buses, shelters, or screens in Haarlem’s public spaces. According to The Guardian, a third of all emissions contributing to global heating come from food production, with meat producing double the pollution of plant-based foods. Forests are cleared to make way for animal pastures (牧草地), and nitrogen-rich fertilizers that help grow plants to feed animals can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层), as well as create water pollution. Animals also produce large quantities of greenhouse gases. “Meat is just as harmful to the environment as fossil fuels, and we can’t tell citizens there’s a climate crisis and at the same time encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause,” said Ziggy Klazes, a councillor for the GroenLinks party. “It is a signal, if the ban is picked up nationally, that would only be very nice,” she added. However, the meat sector and some organisations weren’t pleased with the ban. A spokesperson for the Central Organisation for the Meat Sector argued the ban was an issue of free speech. Despite the disagreements about the ban from critics, the move may do the trick. For example, taxes on sugary drinks to help control obesity rates in California cities, including Berkeley and San Francisco, also received pushback when they first launched. In practice, however, Berkeley reporteda 21% decrease in consumption just a year following the tax. After three years, the consumption of sugary drinks dropped to 50% and mineral water increased by 29%. A plant-based diet is probably the biggest way to reduce your impact on Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, land use, water use, etc. 8. Why was the meat advertisement banned in Haarlem? A. To advocate a plant-based diet. B. To help deal with climate issues. C. To improve the quality of meat. D. To beautify the image of the city. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The causes of water pollution. B. The process of meat production. C. The major reason for global heating. D. The negative impact of meat production. 10. What is Ziggy Klazes’ attitude towards the ban? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Hesitant. D. Favorable. 11. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4? A. To promote zero-sugar drinks. B. To prove the effectiveness of the ban. C. To confirm the impact of the human diet. D. To call for higher taxes on meat production. D While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss（藓类） that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars. Scientists in China say they have found Syntrichia caninervis — a moss found in the Antarctic and desert — is able to bear Mars - like conditions, including drought, high levels of radiation and extreme cold. The moss was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions after spending up to five years at - 80℃ and up to 30 days at - 196℃, and after exposure to gamma rays, with doses of around500Gy even promoting new growth. The team then created a set-up that had similar pressures, temperatures, gases and UV radiation to Mars. It found the moss survived in this Mars-like environment, and was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions, even after seven days of exposure. “These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform（行星地球化） Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added. Dr. Wiger of Wageningen University, also raised concerns, including that temperatures on the red planet rarely got above freezing, making outdoor plant growth impossible, while the new study did not use Mars - like soil. “The mosses were treated under Mars circumstances for a maximum of several days and then regrown under Earth conditions on sand,” he said. “This, of course, doesn’t show at all they can grow under Mars conditions.” However, Prof. Edward Guinan of Villanova University in the US described the study as impressive. “This extremotolerant moss could promise to be a pioneer plant for Mars colonization,” he said, although he noted the moss would need water to grow. “We have a lot of things to do,” he said. “But this lowly desert moss offers hope for making small portions of Mars habitable for humankind in the future.” 12. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the potatoes? A. The potatoes played a crucial role in the film. B. The moss led to survival of the potatoes on Mars. C. The moss may survive on Mars like these potatoes. D. The success of the film resulted from the plot about potatoes. 13. What can be implied from what McDaniel and Zupanska said? A. The moss has a long way to be a Martian plant. B. It is unlikely that the earth species can grow on Mars. C. The experiments about the moss were a complete success. D. They will research into reproducing the moss in the Martian context. 14. Which one is right about the characteristic of the moss in the text? A. Resistant to water. B. Adaptable to Martian soil. C. Capable of producing oxygen on Mars. D. Regenerative under Earth condition. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Can Mars actually become a second Earth? B. Can scientists create a set-up similar to Mars? C. Can a moss become a pioneer living on Mars? D. Can researchers make it to Mars colonization? 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。 Many of us have a dream that we would love to achieve.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5 CCCAA 6-10 CBABA 11-15 BBBAC 16-20 BCAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024~2025学年第一学期期中学业质量监测试卷 高二英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1. 本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3. 请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4. 作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，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.

Many ancient cave paintings, which mark the first known examples of artwork by prehistorical humans, are so deep under the ground that it would have taken extraordinary effort to view them. So, if you’re an ancient artist, what might inspire you to paint scenes of life? As it turns out, Israeli archaeologists may have figured out the answer. The artists were tripping — literally. According to a new paper in “Time and Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness and Culture”, the humans who ventured into these underground places during the Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,000 years ago) would have needed to light torches in order to see what they were doing. In the process, they would have reduced the amount of oxygen in the caves, inducing hypoxia (缺氧) in their brains. That, in turn, would have put them in a state of changed consciousness, experiencing excitement, out - of - body experiences and even hallucinations (幻觉). These different states of consciousness could have been a cause for creating cave art seen as a way to communicate with things on the other side of the wall. “We discuss the significance of caves in local world views and claim that entering these deep, dark environments was a conscious choice, motivated by an understanding of the transformative nature of an underground, oxygen-lack space,” the authors write. The researchers suggest that caves and rock shelters are likely to have been viewed as doors to an underground world associated with prosperity and growth. They indicate that the rock face was seen as a “tissue” connecting the here and now and the world beyond, “allowing early humans to maintain their connectedness with the universe”. The humans who used them would have viewed the caves as sacred (神圣的) spaces, locations that deserved awe and respect. “It was not the decoration that demonstrated the significance of caves,” the authors write. “Rather, the significance of the chosen caves was the reason for their decoration.” 4. What does the author think “The artists were tripping.”? A. They painted in a confused state of mind. B. They had no fixed settlement to create art. C. They attempted to create a new painting style. D. Their inspiration of painting came from the trips. 5. How did the researchers view caves and rock shelters’ role in early humans’ lives? A. They offered them hiding places. B. They were their spiritual gateways. C. They were their sources of creativity. D. They stood for prosperity and growth. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Art creation on the rocks made the caves more important. B. The caves themselves mattered compared to the art creation. C. It was rather tough for artists to choose the caves for painting. D. The caves decorated with paintings reminded people of the past. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The earliest art form in human civilization. B. The significance of caves in Israeli. C. The introduction to cave paintings in Israeli. D. Ancient artists’ way to explore the world. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了以色列考古学家的研究发现，他们认为早期人类在洞穴中创作艺术的灵感源于迷幻体验，他们在洞穴中摸黑行动，需要点燃火把，使得洞穴中的氧气减少，引发了缺氧，进而导致他们产生兴奋、出窍体验和幻觉等迷幻体验。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the process, they would have reduced the amount of oxygen in the caves, inducing hypoxia (缺氧) in their brains. That, in turn, would have put them in a state of changed consciousness, experiencing excitement, out - of - body experiences and even hallucinations (幻觉) . These different states of consciousness could have been a cause for creating cave art seen as a way to communicate with things on the other side of the wall.( 这反过来又会使他们处于一种意识改变的状态，经历兴奋、出窍甚至幻觉。这些不同的意识状态可能是创造洞穴艺术的原因，被视为与墙另一边的事物交流的一种方式。)”可知，他们在这种迷幻状态下，可能会将洞穴视为与另一个世界进行沟通的方式，从而创作出了洞穴艺术。所以，可以推断出“The artists were tripping”是指他们在意识混乱、恍惚的状态下作画，这是他们故意在寻找一种新的绘画方式。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The researchers suggest that caves and rock shelters are likely to have been viewed as doors to an underground world associated with prosperity and growth. They indicate that the rock face was seen as a “tissue” connecting the here and now and the world beyond, “allowing early humans to maintain their connectedness with the universe”. The humans who used them would have viewed the caves as sacred (神圣的) spaces, locations that deserved awe and respect. ( 研究人员认为，洞穴和岩石庇护所很可能被视为通往地下世界的大门，与繁荣和增长有关。他们指出，岩石表面被视为连接此时此地和未来世界的“组织”，“允许早期人类保持与宇宙的联系”。使用它们的人会把洞穴视为神圣的空间，值得敬畏和尊重的地方。)”可推知，研究人员认为洞穴和岩洞在早期人类的生活中扮演了精神门户的角色。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It was not the decoration that demonstrated the significance of caves,” the authors write. “Rather, the significance of the chosen caves was the reason for their decoration.”(“并不是这些装饰显示了洞穴的重要性，”作者写道。“更确切地说，选择洞穴的意义是它们装饰的原因。”)”可推知，洞穴本身的重要性要高于洞穴中的画作，这也是为什么这些洞穴被赋予了深厚的历史和文化价值。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“When it comes to an art gallery, a cave seems a strange choice. Many ancient cave paintings, which mark the first known examples of artwork by prehistorical humans, are so deep under the ground that it would have taken extraordinary effort to view them.( 说到艺术画廊，洞穴似乎是一个奇怪的选择。许多古代洞穴壁画标志着史前人类艺术作品的第一个已知例子，它们埋藏在地下很深的地方，要想看到它们需要付出极大的努力。)”可知，文章的主要内容是关于洞穴艺术，这是人类最早的艺术形式。文章介绍了以色列考古学家的研究发现，他们认为早期人类在洞穴中创作艺术的灵感源于迷幻体验，他们在洞穴中摸黑行动，需要点燃火把，使得洞穴中的氧气减少，引发了缺氧，进而导致他们产生兴奋、出窍体验和幻觉等迷幻体验。他们在这种迷幻状态下，可能会将洞穴视为与另一个世界进行沟通的方式，从而创作出了洞穴艺术。因此，可以推断出文章主要讨论的是人类最早的艺术形式，即洞穴艺术。故选D项。 C In a move aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help fight the global climate crisis, the Dutch city of Haarlem is set to become the first in the world to ban advertisements for meat. Beginning in 2024, advertisements for meat will be forbidden on buses, shelters, or screens in Haarlem’s public spaces. According to The Guardian, a third of all emissions contributing to global heating come from food production, with meat producing double the pollution of plant-based foods. Forests are cleared to make way for animal pastures (牧草地), and nitrogen-rich fertilizers that help grow plants to feed animals can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层), as well as create water pollution. Animals also produce large quantities of greenhouse gases. “Meat is just as harmful to the environment as fossil fuels, and we can’t tell citizens there’s a climate crisis and at the same time encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause,” said Ziggy Klazes, a councillor for the GroenLinks party. “It is a signal, if the ban is picked up nationally, that would only be very nice,” she added. However, the meat sector and some organisations weren’t pleased with the ban. A spokesperson for the Central Organisation for the Meat Sector argued the ban was an issue of free speech. Despite the disagreements about the ban from critics, the move may do the trick. For example, taxes on sugary drinks to help control obesity rates in California cities, including Berkeley and San Francisco, also received pushback when they first launched. In practice, however, Berkeley reporteda 21% decrease in consumption just a year following the tax. After three years, the consumption of sugary drinks dropped to 50% and mineral water increased by 29%. A plant-based diet is probably the biggest way to reduce your impact on Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, land use, water use, etc. 8. Why was the meat advertisement banned in Haarlem? A. To advocate a plant-based diet. B. To help deal with climate issues. C. To improve the quality of meat. D. To beautify the image of the city. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The causes of water pollution. B. The process of meat production. C. The major reason for global heating. D. The negative impact of meat production. 10. What is Ziggy Klazes’ attitude towards the ban? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Hesitant. D. Favorable. 11. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4? A. To promote zero-sugar drinks. B. To prove the effectiveness of the ban. C. To confirm the impact of the human diet. D. To call for higher taxes on meat production. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了荷兰城市哈勒姆将成为世界上第一个禁止肉类广告的城市，此举旨在减少温室气体排放，以应对全球气候危机。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In a move aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help fight the global climate crisis, the Dutch city of Haarlem is set to become the first in the world to ban advertisements for meat. Beginning in 2024, advertisements for meat will be forbidden on buses, shelters, or screens in Haarlem’s public spaces.(为了减少温室气体排放，帮助应对全球气候危机，荷兰哈勒姆市将成为世界上第一个禁止肉类广告的城市。从2024年开始，肉类广告将被禁止出现在哈勒姆的公共汽车、庇护所或公共场所的屏幕上)”可知，哈勒姆禁止肉类广告是为了帮助应对气候问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“According to The Guardian, a third of all emissions contributing to global heating come from food production, with meat producing double the pollution of plant-based foods. Forests are cleared to make way for animal pastures (牧草地), and nitrogen-rich fertilizers that help grow plants to feed animals can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层), as well as create water pollution. Animals also produce large quantities of greenhouse gases.(据《卫报》报道，导致全球变暖的排放中有三分之一来自食品生产，肉类产生的污染是植物性食品的两倍。森林被砍伐为动物牧场让路，而帮助种植植物喂养动物的富氮肥料会破坏臭氧层，并造成水污染。动物也会产生大量的温室气体)”可知，第二段主要讲了肉类生产的负面影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Meat is just as harmful to the environment as fossil fuels, and we can’t tell citizens there’s a climate crisis and at the same time encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause(肉类对环境的危害和化石燃料一样大，我们不能一边告诉市民有气候危机，一边鼓励他们购买与气候危机有关的产品)”可知，Ziggy Klazes的这句话表明了他对这项禁令是赞成的，因为他认为肉类对环境有害，而这项禁令是在减少肉类广告。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite the disagreements about the ban from critics, the move may do the trick. For example, taxes on sugary drinks to help control obesity rates in California cities, including Berkeley and San Francisco, also received pushback when they first launched. In practice, however, Berkeley reporteda 21% decrease in consumption just a year following the tax. After three years, the consumption of sugary drinks dropped to 50% and mineral water increased by 29%.(尽管批评人士对禁令存在分歧，但此举可能会奏效。例如，对含糖饮料征税以帮助控制加州城市（包括伯克利和旧金山）的肥胖率，在首次推出时也遭到了抵制。然而，在实践中，伯克利报告说，在征税后仅一年，消费量就下降了21%。三年后，含糖饮料的消费量下降到50%，矿泉水的消费量增加了29%)”可知，作者提到这个例子是为了证明哈勒姆禁止肉类广告这一禁令可能会像对含糖饮料征税一样有效。故选B。 D While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss（藓类） that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars. Scientists in China say they have found Syntrichia caninervis — a moss found in the Antarctic and desert — is able to bear Mars - like conditions, including drought, high levels of radiation and extreme cold. The moss was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions after spending up to five years at - 80℃ and up to 30 days at - 196℃, and after exposure to gamma rays, with doses of around500Gy even promoting new growth. The team then created a set-up that had similar pressures, temperatures, gases and UV radiation to Mars. It found the moss survived in this Mars-like environment, and was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions, even after seven days of exposure. “These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform（行星地球化） Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added. Dr. Wiger of Wageningen University, also raised concerns, including that temperatures on the red planet rarely got above freezing, making outdoor plant growth impossible, while the new study did not use Mars - like soil. “The mosses were treated under Mars circumstances for a maximum of several days and then regrown under Earth conditions on sand,” he said. “This, of course, doesn’t show at all they can grow under Mars conditions.” However, Prof. Edward Guinan of Villanova University in the US described the study as impressive. “This extremotolerant moss could promise to be a pioneer plant for Mars colonization,” he said, although he noted the moss would need water to grow. “We have a lot of things to do,” he said. “But this lowly desert moss offers hope for making small portions of Mars habitable for humankind in the future.” 12. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the potatoes? A. The potatoes played a crucial role in the film. B. The moss led to survival of the potatoes on Mars. C. The moss may survive on Mars like these potatoes. D. The success of the film resulted from the plot about potatoes. 13. What can be implied from what McDaniel and Zupanska said? A. The moss has a long way to be a Martian plant. B. It is unlikely that the earth species can grow on Mars. C. The experiments about the moss were a complete success. D. They will research into reproducing the moss in the Martian context. 14. Which one is right about the characteristic of the moss in the text? A. Resistant to water. B. Adaptable to Martian soil. C. Capable of producing oxygen on Mars. D. Regenerative under Earth condition. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Can Mars actually become a second Earth? B. Can scientists create a set-up similar to Mars? C. Can a moss become a pioneer living on Mars? D. Can researchers make it to Mars colonization? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章的主要内容是探讨苔藓是否能成为火星上的先锋生物。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss（藓类） that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars(在热播电影《火星救援》中，马特·达蒙依靠在生物垃圾中种植的土豆生存，而研究人员表示，这是一种不起眼的沙漠苔藓，可能对在火星上建立生命至关重要”可知，通过提到电影中的土豆，作者想说明苔藓可能像电影中的土豆一样在火星上生存。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform（行星地球化） Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added.( McDaniel说：“这些实验代表了重要的第一步，但它们并没有表明苔藓在火星条件下可能是一个重要的氧气来源，也没有表明沙漠苔藓可以在火星环境下繁殖。”“暗示苔藓或任何其他先锋物种已经准备好改造火星或任何其他外行星，这是夸大其词。”Zupanska补充道)”可知，从McDaniel和Zupanska的话中可以推断出，苔藓要成为火星植物还有很长的路要走。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“then regrown under Earth conditions on sand (然后在地球条件下的沙子上重新生长)”可知，苔藓的特征是在地球条件下再生。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss（藓类） that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars(在热播电影《火星救援》中，马特·达蒙依靠在生物垃圾中种植的土豆生存，而研究人员表示，这是一种不起眼的沙漠苔藓，可能对在火星上建立生命至关重要”以及下文不同人对苔藓是否能成为火星上的先锋生物提出了自己的观点。所以短文主要围绕着“苔藓能成为火星上的先锋生物？”展开，也是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us have a dream that we would love to achieve. Having dreams is fine, but achieving them is another thing. It covers a lot of elements, like determination, motivation, single-mindedness, courage, commitment and so on. ____16____ Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you think you are being frustrated frequently. How do we get motivated to realize our dreams? The first thing that can’t be ignored is to figure out our dreams. Actually, our dream is usually a bit vague. ____17____ The next step is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream — let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal. If you have set goals step by step, it’s time to keep yourself motivated. Above all, being positive is of great importance. ____18____ Once faced with such situations, you should find a support system. After all, surroundings have a great influence on what people are like. In view of this, you’d better mix with motivated people around us to keep you in high spirits. Because such guys always smile at any difficulties, firmly believing that after the wind and rain, there is a rainbow. ____19____ And they can provide you with positive emotional value, such as encouragement, support and appreciation. If surrounded by those people, how can you suffer from frustration and negative thoughts? ____20____ What you should do is tackle it as soon as you realize your motivation has gone. Think about why your self-motivation has been lost and then look at how you can bring it back. Don’t ignore it, or you will come to regret your lack of action. Work to get that self-motivation back and get back on the road to success. A. Your plan itself is a foundation of self-motivation. B. So it is necessary to make a clear whole plan in advance. C. Their optimism and confidence must reflect back on you. D. Among them, I think motivation is the most important one. E. In addition, it is important not to worry about losing motivation. F.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了实现梦想，保持动力的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It covers a lot of elements, like determination, motivation, single-mindedness, courage, commitment and so on.(它包含了很多要素，比如决心、动力、一心一意、勇气、承诺等等)”以及下文“Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you think you are being frustrated frequently.(保持动力是很难的，尤其是如果你认为自己经常受到挫折)”可知，选项承接上下文，说明作者很看重诸多要素中的动力。故D选项“其中，我认为动力是最重要的一个”切题。motivation呼应Staying motivated。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“The next step is to turn it into a series of goals. (下一步就是把它变成一系列的目标)”可知，选项应说明第一步应该怎么做。故B选项“因此，有必要提前制定一个明确的整体计划”切题，下文中的it指代选项中的plan。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Above all, being positive is of great importance.(最重要的是，积极是非常重要的)”和下文“Once faced with such situations, you should find a support system.(一旦遇到这些情况，你应该找到一个支持系统)”推知选项与上文为转折关系，说明与积极相反的情况。故G选项“然而，你却常常陷入沮丧，甚至怀疑自己”切题，下文的such situations指选项中的提到的“常常陷入沮丧，甚至怀疑自己”的情况。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“In view of this, you’d better mix with motivated people around us to keep you in high spirits. Because such guys always smile at any difficulties, firmly believing that after the wind and rain, there is a rainbow.(鉴于此，你最好和我们周围积极的人交往，让你保持高昂的精神。因为这样的人总是在任何困难面前微笑，坚信风雨之后总会有彩虹)”可知，选项承接上文说明与积极的人交往对自己的影响。故C选项“他们的乐观和自信一定会影响到你”切题。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“What you should do is tackle it as soon as you realize your motivation has gone. Think about why your self-motivation has been lost and then look at how you can bring it back. Don’t ignore it, or you will come to regret your lack of action. Work to get that self-motivation back and get back on the road to success.(你应该做的是一旦你意识到你的动力已经消失，就去解决它。想想为什么你失去了自我激励，然后想想如何让它恢复。不要忽视它，否则你会后悔你的不作为。努力找回自我激励，重新走上成功之路)”可知，下文主要告诉我们在失去动力时应该怎么处理，所以不要担心会失去动力。故E选项“此外，重要的是不要担心失去动力”切题。故选E项。 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。 Attending a new school can be a big challenge for any student. ____21____, for 15-year-old Sergio Peralta, he found a group of innovative students who ____22____ his life.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was also the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother’s hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After cleaning his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. “What have you done and learned, young man?” Jimmy answered with tears in his eyes, “I cleaned my mother’s hands and all the remaining clothes.” The lady nodded, “Please share something with me.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The interviewer smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学业优秀的吉米去参加招聘面试，他从中学到研究生的学习成绩一直都很优秀。在面试官得知，从小失去父亲的吉米，一直由做洗衣工的母亲独自抚养，既没有做过兼职工作，也没有帮助母亲洗过衣服后，面试官让吉米回家给母亲洗手的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家，吉米请求他的母亲让他给她洗手。”可知，第一段可描写吉米请求给母亲洗手，第一次看清母亲双手的样子及他的感触。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，吉米来到面试官的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写吉米见到面试官后，跟面试官讲述自己做了什么和内心的感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲感到很奇怪——吉米给母亲洗手——发现母亲沧桑的双手——感动落泪——帮母亲洗衣服和母亲交流——跟面试官讲述自己做了什么——分享自己的感悟——被录取 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①谈话：talk /chat ②注意：notice/ pay attention to ③回答：answer/ reply 情绪类 ①感激：appreciation / gratitude ②奇怪的：strange / odd 【点睛】[高分句型1] His tears fell as he cleaned her hands.
