Lisa Koshy, a user of TikTok, who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him.(短视频应用的用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的特点。拥有200多万粉丝的TikTok用户Lisa Koshy说，当有人说她的视频“启发”了他时，她很激动。)”可知，在Lisa看来，短视频用户获得的社区感使其受欢迎的一个原因。故选D。 30．B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another.(然而，社交媒体的繁荣也可能产生副作用。假新闻可以说是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上分享的材料通常没有经过准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，可以以这样或那样的方式影响用户。)”可知，社交媒体的快速发展也伴随着一些副作用，由此推断，其还需进一步的提升。故选B。 31．C【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous overnight.(在过去的十年里，社交媒体的使用以一种没有人能猜到的方式增长。它让一些青少年成为名人，也让名人一夜之间声名狼藉。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了社交媒体的流行。所以“The Key Trends of Social Media(社交媒体的主要趋势)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 D 【文章大意】本文是新闻报道。文章讲述了2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅使用可回收塑料制成，不仅促进了可持续性，还提高了人们对废物回收的认识。巴黎奥运会对再生塑料座椅的使用展示了循环经济的潜力。 32．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right.(这些座椅由当地回收的塑料制成，本身就是可持续发展的冠军。)”可知，2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅特别之处在于它们由可回收塑料制成的。故选A项。 33．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area.(座椅所用的塑料是从塞纳-圣德尼附近的回收箱中收集的，座椅所需的100吨塑料中有80%来自该地区。)”可知，这些塑料主要来自当地的回收垃圾箱。故选D项。 34．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容“After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. (基材生产成不同颜色的塑料座椅后，座椅经过多次测试，包括机械性能、防火性能、抗紫外线性能等。事实证明，回收的塑料椅子坚固耐用，生产商称在生产过程中没有出现任何问题。)”可知，这些测试主要显示了座椅的优点。故选B项。 35．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段内容“The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there.(使用再生塑料座椅是巴黎和法国可持续发展承诺的一部分，其目标是与2012年和2016年奥运会相比，将下游排放量减少50%。此外，为了举办铁人三项比赛，巴黎几十年来首次将塞纳河改造成可游泳的河流，以此来应对日益恶化的环境。)”可知，使用可回收塑料座椅的目的是为了环境保护，实现可持续发展目标。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 【文章大意】主题语境：人与社会——人际沟通 本文是说明文。文章就如何成为一位受欢迎的客人进行了介绍。 36. D【解析】根据设空处前的内容可知，作为客人，应该问问主人是否需要帮助，也可以帮忙打扫厨房，D项（谁不喜欢一点点帮助呢？）符合语境。D项中的assistance与设空处前的help和helping构成同义复现。 37. G【解析】根据本段小标题Ask before entering a space和设空处前的内容可知，如果你想去主要公共区域以外的地方或是你所在房间以外的地方，切记问问主人，G项（很多礼节都归结为先请求许可）符合语境。G项中的requesting permission first与本段小标题相呼应。 38. F【解析】根据本段小标题Prepare children in advance和设空处后的If they break or dirty something ...可知，如果带孩子的话，记得要看好他们，F项（到了那儿，记得照看好你的孩子）符合语境。F项中的your little ones指代小标题中的children。 39. A【解析】根据本段内容可知，即使旅行进行得很顺利，倘若延长在别人家中逗留的时间也是一个礼节上的错误，所以最好坚持原定计划，故A项适合作为本段小标题。A项中的planned与本段中的plans构成原词复现。 40. C【解析】根据本段小标题Leave a thank-you note和设空处前的内容可知，应该在离开前留下一个表达感谢的便条，因为人人都喜欢被人感谢。C项中的appreciated与小标题中的thank-you构成同义复现。 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） 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者在忙碌的工作和家庭责任之间寻找平衡，通过一次小狗逃跑的意外事件，意识到家庭的爱和日常生活的温馨，从而领悟到生活中真正重要的事物。 41．A【解析】考查动词。作者回去工作，从而“留下”妈妈来照顾孩子们。 42．D【解析】考查名词。“demands of my job”指“工作的要求或需要”。 43．D【解析】考查形容词。因为妈妈不得不花时间照顾女儿们，这是作者感到“内疚”的原因。 44．A【解析】考查动词。这里指迎接作者的是一片混乱的场景。 45．B【解析】考查动词。“thrown cushions off”表示把“垫子扔下”，符合前文描述的混乱场景。 46．B【解析】考查动词。Grace“佯装未听见或看到（ignored）”作者，而是继续跳跃。 47．D【解析】考查动词。妈妈“叹气”，表示她很累。 48．B【解析】考查副词。作者“无意中”让狗跑了出去。 49．C【解析】考查动词词组。作者追逐狗直到“放弃”。 50．A【解析】考查动词。灯光从窗户中“透出”。 51．D【解析】考查名词。作者看到家庭在分享他们一天的“stories”，即“故事或经历”。 52．A【解析】考查动词。作者“想象或构想”自己的生活。 53．C【解析】考查名词。作者的“压力”在爱面前显得微不足道。 54．A【解析】考查名词。作者意识到有时候我们需要从日常生活的“routine”中逃离，这是一个“提醒”。 55．D【解析】考查形容词。“ busy pace of life”表示生活的忙碌节奏，符合句意。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国粤剧两种不同类型以及粤剧的特征。 56．eventually 【解析】考查副词。从句意可知，此处应为副词。句意：粤剧最初以中国戏曲的旧形式为基础，开始加入当地的民间旋律，广东乐器甚至西方流行曲调。 57．bravery 【解析】考查名词。从文中可知Mo的表演是快节奏的，包括战争、勇敢和背叛的故事。warfare，bravery 和 betrayal 为并列关系,故用名词。 58．slower 【解析】考查形容词比较级。从下文的more polite可知，slow也应为比较级。 59．tales 【解析】考查名词复数。由 romances, stories 可知，tale也应用复数形式。 60．with【解析】考查介词。句意：这是所有中国戏曲中最复杂的化妆系统之一，有不同颜色和形状的妆容，特别是额头上的妆容，体现了角色的心理状态、可靠性和身体健康状况。由此可知，此处用with，表示“有”。 61．drawn 【解析】考查非谓语。句意：体弱多病的人物在眉毛之间会画一条细红线，而喜剧或小丑人物在鼻梁上有一个大白点。a thin red line 与 draw 的关系为动宾关系,且根据 have sth. done 的搭配,故用 drawn。 62．which【解析】考查定语从句。句意：一些粤剧还会让演员“露脸”化妆，它是如此复杂，更像一个画好的面具，而不是一张活生生的脸。which 引导的是非限定性定语从句，先行词为“open face” makeup。 63．the【解析】考查冠词。句意：今天，香港是努力保持粤剧的生存和繁荣的中心。at the center of“处于……的核心位置”。 64．offers 【解析】考查时态。句意：香港演艺学院提供粤剧表演两年制学位。 65．to come 【解析】考查不定式。句意：通过共同的努力，这种独特且复杂的中国戏曲形式可能会延续到接下来的数十年。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） One possible version: Dear Simon, I am writing to share an unforgettable learning trip our class had in Hangzhou last weekend. We visited the Hangzhou Museum, where we learned about the history and culture of the city. We also went to the West Lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Through this trip, I not only gained knowledge but also strengthened the bond with my classmates. It was a great experience. Do you have similar experiences? Looking forward to your story. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: Two or more hours later, a familiar voice broke through the silence. It was Dad. I didn't know how he found me, but I was glad he did. After showing concern and making sure I was okay, he then drove me back home without saying any more. I could tell from his face that he felt responsible for my anger and sadness, which made me realize that I hadn't appreciated all the things he had done for our family. He moved us around in an attempt to offer us a better life. He was not at fault. When we finally arrived home, Mom was waiting anxiously. As soon as I stepped inside, she opened her arms wide and I fell into her embrace. Dad joined in and hugged both of us. Normally, I would have pulled away, but this time I didn't. I saw tears in their eyes and it hit me all at once how much they loved me. They were making every effort to create a brighter future for our family. So why couldn't I change my attitude, make the most of my new school and befriend my classmates? I believed tomorrow would be a great day. 听力原文 Text 1 M:I’m going to meet Ben to swim and then go to the library to take my books. W:Do that before you meet Ben because it isn’t open this afternoon. M:OK. And we’re going to play tennis after we swim, so I won’t see you until supper. Bye. Text 2 W: What date are we having the meeting in Venice? Is it the fifth or eighth of October? M: No, it’s the fifteenth of October. Text 3 W: Your English is very good. M: Thanks. I used to have an American pen friend, and I used to write to him in English a lot. W: I couldn’t speak English at all when I came here to the United States. We had English in school, but I didn’t study very hard. Text 4 M: Would you like to get a PhD in something? W: Yeah, maybe one day. But it’s impossible right now. I have my job and the kids. I’d have to study at midnight! M: Oh, yeah. That would be difficult. Text 5 M:This year our sales increased by 23%. W:What caused the increase? M:Well, the harvest of oranges, bananas and some other fruits was good. Prices dropped and so sales increased. Text 6 M: Hi, June. Have you had any trouble using the system this morning? I can’t use my computer. W: There was a power failure last night, and all of our passwords were lost. You have to go to the computer services office to set up a new one. M: Oh, great. That’s the office on the first floor next to the reception desk, right? W: It’s on the first floor, but it’s beside the stairs at the back. You’ll have to turn left when you come out of the lift. Text 7 W: I need to make some money to pay my next term’s school fee. Do you know of any part-time jobs? M: How about delivering newspapers? I know that John from our class did it last year. W: I already thought of that, but I don’t have a bike. M: Then how about walking dogs? You know, there’re a lot of people around the neighborhood with dogs. W: Sounds interesting. But how can I find dogs to walk? M: You can put an advertisement in the Sunday newspaper. W: Thank you. I’ll phone the newspaper right now. Text 8 M:Hi, I’m calling about a television I ordered from your online shop. W:Yes, sir. So what is the problem? M:I was told it would arrive in two days — that would be on Monday, and it didn’t arrive until today. That’s three days late. W:I’m sorry about that. And how is it going with the TV set now? M:I haven’t turned it on. When I set it up, I found there was no remote control in the box. W:Actually some of the models do not have remote controls. M:But the remote control is listed as one of the things that is supposed to be included on the list. W:In that case, we will be happy to send you a new remote control as soon as possible. Text 9 W: Peter, what things do you enjoy spending money on? M: Well, I’m a big football fan. So when I don’t have much schoolwork, I watch matches. What I really like spending money on is the ticket for football matches. W: What do you think teenagers in your country spend their money on? M: I think it really depends. I guess girls spend more money on clothes and magazines while boys spend money on music and things like football matches. In general though, I think both boys and girls spend a lot of money just going out to places and having a good time. W: Do you have a favorite shop? M: I’m not interested in shopping, actually. But there is a shop I really enjoy going to. It’s a sports shop and what I really like about it is just to wander round and see all the clothes and equipment they sell. I can’t afford them. They are expensive. W: What’s shopping like in the area where you live? M: I guess the shopping must be pretty good, because my mum and dad do all the shopping nearby. They always say it has fresh vegetables and good food. Text 10 M: In July 2012, an American man named Erden Eruc completed a 5-year journey, becoming the first person ever to travel all the way around the world with no help of cars or trains. All he used was his own arms and legs, to cycle, row and walk around the world. His plan before beginning the trip was to climb the six highest mountains on earth. The weather on the mountains was terrible but it didn’t stop him. However, he was only able to climb three of them, not because of his health condition, but for money problems. Erden spent most of his time on the trip in his boat. Being alone on the sea for that much time was not at all easy, but he kept busy by listening to music and studying Spanish. He took dried food with him and had a water machine to make fresh water out of seawater. However, it only worked on sunny days. Erden is sure he will take more trips one day. But at the moment all he wants to do is rest and spend time with his wife Nancy.

And only seven hours left of a 19-hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have —I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed（瘫痪的）from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year-long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched（突然倾斜）, the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. 24．What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience? A．Adapting to a new cultural environment. B．Overcoming physical limitations. C．Managing a long-term solo commitment. D．Dealing with the harsh weather conditions. 25．How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa? A．Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help. B．Satisfied with the progress made. C．Disappointed and wanting to give up. D．Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation. 26．What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children? A．The children’s voluntary assistance. B．The author’s initial arrival in the village. C．The author’s first teaching session. D．The author’s struggle with the wheelchair. 27．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The struggle of adapting to a new environment. B．The impact of education on underprivileged children. C．The challenges of living with a physical disability. D．The transformative power of mutual support. C In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. Short video apps such as TikTok took the world by storm. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, a Singapore — based analyst, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules”, he told CNBC．These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to CNBC. The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Lisa Koshy, a user of TikTok, who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. “It’s really cool...because I think as short video creators that’s what we all expect.” she added. Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us.

Live Streaming: Tomorrow of Social Media D The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 32. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A. They are made from recyclable plastic. B. They are made with a mix of plastic types. C. They won the championship in a competition. D.

Local recycling bins. 34. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A. The production process of the seats. B. The advantages of the seats. C. The difficulty of producing the seats. D. The significance of the plastic seats. 35. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A. To create continued economic growth. B. To reduce energy consumption. C. To contribute to environmental efforts. D. To attract more attention to the games. 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。 Top tips that will make you a great houseguest “The bottom line is to treat their home as you would want yours to be treated,”says etiquette(礼仪) expert Jan Goss. A recent survey asked 1,000 Americans to share the best things they can do as a houseguest. The top answers included asking if any help is needed and helping to clean the kitchen. 36 And here are some other suggestions. Ask before entering a space. Just because they are sharing their home with you doesn’t mean they are sharing their whole home with you. If you want to go somewhere other than the main common areas or the room you are staying in, simply ask. 37 . Prepare children in advance. “Before I stay anywhere, I always teach my children‘hands to self,’ ”says Goss. “If you just tell them‘Don’t touch anything,’it starts things out on a negative note.” 38 .If they break or dirty something, clean it up immediately and do whatever you can to make it right. 39 . The trip is going so well you want to extend it a couple of days? Think long and hard about that. Extending your stay is an etiquette mistake. Even people who really enjoy being together may long for return to normalcy, and it’s best to stick to your original plans. Leave a thank-you note “I always carry some thank-you cards in my purse, and leave one on the bed or dresser when I leave,” says Goss. If she doesn’t have a thank-you card handy, she mails one to her host later. “It only takes a few minutes, and it ends your stay on a high note,” she says. “It’s a lovely surprise for your host. 40 ” A．Leave as planned. B．Extend your invitation. C．Everyone loves to be appreciated. D．Who doesn’t love a little assistance? E．What does a thank-you note mean to your host?

Originally based on the older forms of Chinese Opera, Cantonese Opera began to add local folk melodies, Cantonese instrumentation, and 56 （eventual）even Western popular tunes. Two different types of plays make up the Cantonese Opera— Mo, meaning “martial arts” and Mun, or “intellectual”. Mo performances are fast- paced, involving stories of warfare, 57 （brave）and betrayal. Mun, on the other hand, tends to be a 58 （slow）, more polite art form. Most of the Mun stories are romances, ghost stories, or famous Chinese classic 59 （tale）. One notable feature of Cantonese Opera is the makeup. It is among the most complicated makeup systems in all Chinese Opera, 60 different shades of color and shapes, particularly on the forehead, indicating the mental state, trustworthiness, and physical health of the characters. For example, sickly characters have a thin red line 61 （draw）between the eyebrows, while comic or clownish characters have a large white spot on the bridge of the nose. Some Cantonese Operas also involve actors in “open face” makeup, 62 is so intricate and complicated that it resembles a painted mask more than a living face. Today, Hong Kong is at 63 center of efforts to keep Cantonese Opera alive and booming. The Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts 64 （offer）two- year degrees in Cantonese Opera performance. Through such joint efforts, this unique and intricate form of Chinese Opera may continue to find audience for decades 65 （come）. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，上周末你们班在杭州进行了为期两天的研学活动。请你给美国朋友Simon写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： 1. 研学内容; 2. 你的感想。 参考词汇：研学 learning trip 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 This was the third time we had moved in the last four years. I became more and more depressed because I was always the new kid in class, the one who didn't know what chapter we were working on or what project was due next week. I was always playing catch-up and trying to fit in. Worse than that was trying to make new friends wherever we moved. There were those popular students who had known each other since grade school, and then there were the academically or athletically outstanding individuals who just didn't seem to interest me. I wasn't athletic and didn't excel at anything, really. I was just an average high school kid looking for friends. The more I thought, the angrier I was. Deep down inside, I knew my parents loved me, but it wasn't enough. "That's it!" I screamed one day as I ran up the stairs to my room. Throwing open my dresser drawers, I pulled out a clean T-shirt and jeans, threw them in my backpack and ran back down the steps. Mom and Dad stood there, looking like they were in shock. "Where are you going?" Mom asked, her voice filled with concern. "Anywhere but here!" I shouted as I ran out the door. They weren't fast enough to grab me, and I slipped away into the darkness of the night. It was cold, but my hot temper (J4 -t) warmed me, and I didn't feel it. Not at first, anyway. I hit the streets and took a taxi. I knew it wasn't safe, but I didn' t care. It was the only way I knew, at fourteen years old, to escape from them. As the city sights rushed by outside the taxi window, I eventually found myself curled up（蜷成一团）on a park bench closest to the comforting shelter of a streetlight. With my arms wrapped tightly around myself for warmth, I wept silent tears. Two or more hours later, a familiar voice broke through the silence.______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally arrived home, Mom was waiting anxiously.____________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 17 页 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
