D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了BIG4微风假日公园的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“There’s a nearby creek (小溪) where you can spot wild animals in the early morning and a watchtower with fantastic views five minutes’ walk from the campground.(附近有一条小溪，清晨你可以在那里看到野生动物，还有一座了望塔，距离露营地步行五分钟的路程即可欣赏到美景。)”可知，在这里有机会看到野生动物。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中Powered sites下面Cost对应的“$ 50 per night”、Guests included in price对应的“2”和Extra fee对应的“$20 per adult per night”“$10 per child per night”可知，在供电地区，每晚 50 美元，其中包括2个人的费用，额外费用为每个成人每晚20 美元、每个孩子每晚10美元，所以2个成年人和2个孩子待7晚的花费有三种情况，每晚50美元的费用包括的是2个成年人，加上两个孩子的费用，总共花费(50+10x2)x7=490；②每晚50 美元的费用包括的是2个孩子，加上两个成年人的费用，总共花费(50+20x2)x7=630；③每晚50 美元的费用包括的是1个成人和1个孩子，加上一个成人一个孩子的费用，总共花费(50+20+10)x7=560。再根据表格下面的一段话可知，如果在12月19日前预定且住至少7晚，可打七折。所以最低花费是 343 美元。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文标题“BIG4 BREEZE HOLIDAY PARKS”和下文的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了BIG4微风假日公园的环境、设施、服务、价格等方面的信息，目的是吸引游客前来，由此可推测，本文最有可能出自旅行指南。故选D。 B Once I read about a country where if you go to a house and praise some small things, the owners feel it a must to offer it to you as a gift. I don’t remember the name of the country; the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother’s home. Knowing Mama, I have always been careful with my praise, but that doesn’t stop her. She can always sense admiration beyond words. “I was just staring at that photo of Mount Hood because I have a similar one in my bedroom.” Mama would nod, “Of course. You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set. If a mother doesn’t understand, who does?” Recently I have been worrying for weeks about a Mother’s Day gift for Mama, as there is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will quickly come back to the giver. If I buy her something wearable, she immediately finds it fits me perfectly. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root in a glass of water. If I give her some food, she wants me to stay for lunch and eat it. My wise Papa, long ago stopped trying to shop for her. Instead, on every important occasion he writes a short poem in which he tells of their meeting, wedding, and later marriage life. After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that his poetic inspiration has dried up, but Mama doesn’t complain. She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, “It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.” This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother’s Day” and tell her there’s nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway. 4. Why does the author mention the country in Paragraph 1? A. To explain a rule. B. To lead in the topic. C. To present a fact. D. To prove his point. 5. Why is the author always careful with her praises? A. She doesn’t like any small things. B. Mama will be too proud of herself. C. She doesn’t want Mama to know real her. D. Mama will give her whatever she praises. 6. What makes it difficult to buy a gift for Mama? A. Mama’s refusal of any gifts. B. Mama’s misunderstanding of givers. C. Mama’s attitude to festivals. D. Mama’s practice of giving back. 7. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs? A. Mama values sincere love over gift itself. B. Poems and articles are Mama’s favorite gifts C. Papa writes poems as gifts to save money. D. Papa and I could never find a good enough gift for Mama. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者为母亲挑选母亲节礼物的经历。作者决定送母亲一篇自己写的文章作为礼物，文章虽不押韵，但发自内心，以此表达对母亲的爱和祝福。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Once I read about a country where if you go to a house and praise some small things, the owners feel it a must to offer it to you as a gift. I don’t remember the name of the country; the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother’s home.( 有一次我读到一个国家，如果你去一所房子，夸赞一些小东西，房主就会觉得必须把它作为礼物送给你。我不记得那个国家的名字了；我所知道的另一个有这种习俗的地方是我母亲的家。)”可知，作者在第一段通过一个关于赞扬与赠送礼物的国家习俗来引出自己母亲也有类似的习惯，从而自然过渡到文章的主题——关于给母亲送礼物的故事。因此，这里的目的是引出文章主题。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ She can always sense admiration beyond words.( 她总能感受到无以言表的赞赏。)”以及““I was just staring at that photo of Mount Hood because I have a similar one in my bedroom.” Mama would nod, “Of course. You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set. If a mother doesn’t understand, who does?”(“我只是盯着胡德山的照片看，因为我卧室里也有一张类似的照片。”妈妈会点头说：“当然。你在想要是有一套就好了。如果一个母亲都不明白，还有谁能明白呢？”)”可知，作者知道如果她对某样东西表示赞美，母亲很可能会将它作为礼物送给她。因此，为了避免这种情况，她总是小心地赞美。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Recently I have been worrying for weeks about a Mother’s Day gift for Mama, as there is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will quickly come back to the giver. (最近几周，我一直在为给妈妈买一份母亲节礼物而烦恼，因为送给妈妈的礼物很快就会回到送礼者手中的危险总是存在的。)”可知，作者担心给母亲的礼物会很快回到送礼人手中，因为母亲总是以各种方式回馈礼物。这说明了给妈妈买礼物的困难所在。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ Instead, on every important occasion he writes a short poem in which he tells of their meeting, wedding, and later marriage life. After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that his poetic inspiration has dried up, but Mama doesn’t complain. (相反，在每个重要的场合，他都会写一首短诗，讲述他们的相遇、婚礼和后来的婚姻生活。做了近30年的诗，爸爸有时担心他的诗歌灵感已经枯竭，但妈妈并不抱怨。)”以及““It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.”(“不需要押韵，只要是发自内心的。”)”以及最后一段中“This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother’s Day” and tell her there’s nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway.( 今年，终于，我想我也为妈妈找到了一份无痛的礼物。我要给她在杂志上写一篇文章，虽然不押韵，但发自肺腑，祝她“母亲节快乐”，并告诉她，无论如何，爸爸和我给她买的、找的或做的东西都不够好。)”可知，作者提到父亲写诗作为礼物，并且母亲并不在意诗是否押韵，只在乎它是否来自内心。接着，作者决定给母亲一篇不押韵但发自内心的杂志文章作为礼物。这些描述都暗示了母亲更看重的是真诚的爱而非礼物本身。故选A。 C Heman Bekele has been named TIME’s Kid of the Year for 2024. The 15-year-old has come up with an idea for a soap that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea. Heman’s family came to the US from Ethiopia when he was four. Heman remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without proper sun protection, which may well increase the risk of skin cancer. From his parents, he had a deeper understanding of its dangers. Skin cancer can often be cured, but the treatment is extremely expensive for those poor workers. Heman’s natural curiosity led him to experiment with different materials and at the age of 7, he nearly caused a fire with a chemistry set. As he got older, he began to wonder if his curiosity could actually help make a difference. Upon reading about imiquimod, a medicine that can help fight skin cancer in the early stages, he realized it was a good way to make the medicine work through a simple bar of soap. But Heman knew that simply mixing imiquimod with soap wouldn’t work as it would just wash away. Instead, he thought of creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米颗粒) to make sure it remains on the skin after the soap washed off, allowing imiquimod to take effect. Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He is now working with scientists at Johns Hopkins University, running tests to see if the soap helps mice with skin cancer. Heman knows that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to develop his soap, but he’s excited about the work. He also encourages other young people to contribute. “Just keep inventing and thinking of new ways to improve our world and make it a better place,” Heman says. 8. What drove Heman Bekele to create the soap? A. His curiosity about skin cancer. B. His desire to develop a new medicine. C. His family’s history of skin cancer. D. His concern for unprotected workers outdoors. 9. Why does Heman use nanoparticles in his soap? A. To make imiquimod affordable B. To make imiquimod easier to use. C. To help imiquimod stick to the skin. D. To help imiquimod spread faster. 10. Which of the following best describes Heman according to the text? A. Curious and creative. B. Focused and frank. C. Understanding and modest. D. Efficient and generous. 11. What can be the suitable title of the passage? A. Fight against skin cancer. B. Be a gifted teenager. C. Follow a medical career. D. Meet a young scientist. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了海曼·贝克莱发明了一种可能有助于对抗皮肤癌的肥皂。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。第二段中提到“Heman remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without proper sun protection, which may well increase the risk of skin cancer. From his parents, he had a deeper understanding of its dangers. Skin cancer can often be cured, but the treatment is extremely expensive for those poor workers.( 海曼记得在那里看到人们在户外工作而没有适当的防晒措施，这可能增加患皮肤癌的风险。从父母那里，他对皮肤癌的危险有了更深的理解。皮肤癌通常可以治愈，但对那些贫穷的工人来说，治疗费用极其昂贵。)”可知，海曼因为看到户外工作的工人没有适当的防晒措施，且治疗皮肤癌的费用昂贵，所以产生了创造这种肥皂的想法，以帮助他们预防或治疗皮肤癌。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。第四段中提到“ Instead, he thought of creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米颗粒) to make sure it remains on the skin after the soap washed off, allowing imiquimod to take effect.(相反，海曼想到创造一种含有药物的纳米颗粒肥皂，以确保在肥皂洗去后药物仍留在皮肤上，从而使imiquimod 发挥作用。)”可知，海曼使用纳米颗粒是为了让imiquimod 能够附着在皮肤上，从而发挥作用。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。第三段中提到“Heman’s natural curiosity led him to experiment with different materials and at the age of 7, he nearly caused a fire with a chemistry set.(海曼的天然好奇心驱使他尝试不同的材料，并在7岁时，他差点因化学实验引发火灾。)”以及第四段中提到“ Instead, he thought of creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米颗粒) to make sure it remains on the skin after the soap washed off, allowing imiquimod to take effect.(相反，海曼想到创造一种含有药物的纳米颗粒肥皂，以确保在肥皂洗去后药物仍留在皮肤上，从而使imiquimod 发挥作用。)”可知，他想到用纳米颗粒将药物包裹在肥皂中，这些都表明海曼是一个好奇且有创造力的人。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了海曼·贝克莱这位年轻科学家的故事，包括他的家庭背景、发明创造以及他对未来的展望等。文章最后一段也提到“He also encourages other young people to contribute. ‘Just keep inventing and thinking of new ways to improve our world and make it a better place,’ Heman says.(他还鼓励其他年轻人做出贡献。“继续发明，思考改善我们世界的新方法，让它变得更好，”海曼说。)”可知，文章进一步强调了海曼作为年轻科学家的身份和影响力。D选项“Meet a young scientist.( 认识一位年轻的科学家。)”符合文章标题。故选D。 D Relationships-romantic or not-are full of disappointment and frustration (沮丧). Even the most sincere and loving friends will have differing opinions. Sometimes, our heart broke when our friends arrive. Imagine this: you’ve just painted a picture you consider a great work, but the meaningful smile on your friends’ face upon seeing it tells you that, however highly they praise your painting, it is no masterpiece to them. People have long sought ways to circumvent these frustrations with art or technology. An old Roman tale tells of a man who once made his ideal friend out of stone, which was later brought to life through his prayer and communicated only with him. Similarly, modern young people also refuse undesirable socializing by watching movies and surfing the Internet. Sometimes it seems as if we can’t live with people. Yet, as social beings, we can’t live without them. When I first began having conversations with ChatGPT, I wondered if I had found a new friend. The chatbot seemed able to discuss anything. We had discussion on countless topics, in which it seemed to willingly accept some of my arguments, and its conclusion mirrored my own thoughts in a way that made me think, “Yes, we’re on the same wavelength!” As a friend, ChatGPT has qualities that a human friend could hardly match. It can offer a wealth of knowledge on any subject although sometimes it may repeat misinformation or make minor mistakes. Furthermore, it will never tell you that it is too busy or not in the mood to talk with you. However, if we can not accept the frustrations brought by human friends, there is a great chance that we can’t really know ourselves, and thus we won’t really grow. How do you react when you realize that your painting is actually not a great one? You won’t know unless you show it to someone and get a true and honest answer. When you and a friend want to do different things, will you compromise (妥协) or force your ideas on your friend? ChatGPT won’t give you the responses you expect from a human friend. However enjoyable your discussions with it may be, the relationships you develop with your fellow humans have no equal. 12. What does the example in Paragraph 1 show? A. The possibility of friends lying to you. B. The difference in opinion between friends. C. The difficulty in creating a great artwork. D. The importance of seeking friends’ praise. 13. What does the underlined word “circumvent” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Experience. B. Face. C. Avoid. D. Judge. 14. What makes ChatGPT seem like a good friend? A It’s knowledgeable and like-minded. B. It never makes a mistake in discussion C. It considers your painting a great work. D. It allows you to know yourself and grow. 15. What does the author want to say according to the text? A. There is no replacement for human friends. B. Humans should avoid all social activities. C. Technology and art are better than friendship. D. ChatGPT is the perfect friend for everyone. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简单概括了人们在社交关系中常遇到的失望与沮丧，并介绍了现代人通过艺术、科技等方式来规避这种情绪的现象。但文章也指出，与真实的人类朋友相比，AI无法提供人类情感的真实反馈和成长机会，因此人类与真实朋友的关系是无可替代的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sometimes, our heart broke when our friends arrive. Imagine this: you’ve just painted a picture you consider a great work, but the meaningful smile on your friends’ face upon seeing it tells you that, however highly they praise your painting, it is no masterpiece to them.(有时候，当我们的朋友到来时，我们的心都碎了。想象一下：你刚刚画了一幅你认为是伟大的作品，但是你的朋友看到这幅画时脸上意味深长的微笑告诉你，无论他们对你的画评价有多高，这幅画对他们来说都不是杰作。)”可知，这个例子说明了即使是最真诚和友爱的朋友之间也会有不同的看法。故选B。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Sometimes, our heart broke when our friends arrive. Imagine this: you’ve just painted a picture you consider a great work, but the meaningful smile on your friends’ face upon seeing it tells you that, however highly they praise your painting, it is no masterpiece to them.(有时候，当我们的朋友到来时，我们的心都碎了。想象一下：你刚刚画了一幅你认为是伟大的作品，但是你的朋友看到这幅画时脸上意味深长的微笑告诉你，无论他们对你的画评价有多高，这幅画对他们来说都不是杰作。)”可知，这个例子说明了即使是最真诚和友爱的朋友之间也会有不同的看法。同时根据划线词前面的内容“People have long sought ways…these frustrations with art or technology. (长期以来，人们一直在寻找通过艺术或技术来……这些挫折的方法。)”可知，人们一直在寻求通过艺术或技术来避免这些令人沮丧的情绪即通过艺术或者技术的手段避免第一段中所提及情况的出现。故划线词与C选项“Avoid(避免)”为同义词。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It can offer a wealth of knowledge on any subject although sometimes it may repeat misinformation or make minor mistakes. Furthermore, it will never tell you that it is too busy or not in the mood to talk with you.(它可以提供关于任何主题的丰富知识，尽管有时它可能会重复错误信息或犯一些小错误。此外，它永远不会告诉你，它太忙或没有心情和你说话。)”可知，作为朋友，ChatGPT拥有一个人类朋友几乎无法比拟的品质。它可以就任何主题提供丰富的知识，此外，它永远不会告诉你它太忙或没有心情和你交谈，即ChatGPT之所以看起来像是一个好朋友，是因为它既知识渊博又与作者志同道合。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, if we cannot accept the frustrations brought by human friends, there is a great chance that we can’t really know ourselves, and thus we won’t really grow.( 然而，如果我们不能接受人类朋友带来的挫折，我们很有可能无法真正了解自己，因此我们不会真正成长。)”以及“However enjoyable your discussions with it may be, the relationships you develop with your fellow humans have no equal.( 无论你与它的讨论多么愉快，你与你的人类同伴发展的关系都是不平等的。)”可知，尽管与ChatGPT的讨论可能很有趣，但与人类建立的关系是无与伦比的。因此，作者想要表达的是人类朋友是无法替代的。 故选A。 第二节(共5小题：每小题25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。其中有两项为多余选项。 What adults can learn from kids For kids like me, being called childish happens a lot. When we make silly requirements or act irresponsibly, adults often describe us as childish. But look at the bigger picture: many big problems — like world wars — were caused by adults. ____16____ Anne Frank shared her powerful story of the Holocaust in her teens, Ruby Bridges fought against racial division in the U.S. at 6, and 7-year-old Charlie Simpson raised £ 120,000 for Haiti on his little bike. ____17____ Many characteristics considered as childish are often found in adults, so we should rethink using this word to blame irresponsible behavior. Moreover, who says that some “childish” ideas aren’t what the world needs? Adults may have grand plans but stopped themselves, thinking. “That’s impossible,” or, “That costs too much.” ____18____ We dream of things like a world without hunger or suffering. While we know that such dreams can be impractical, dreaming is the first step to making things happen. ____19____ For example, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, has a program called Kids Design Glass, where kids create their own glass art ideas. The artists have said that kids’ ideas are often the best because they don’t worry about the difficulties of blowing glass into certain shapes; they just think of good ideas. Kids learn a lot from adults, but we also have valuable ideas to share. Adults should learn from kids as well. Learning should go both ways. ____20____ When adults don’t trust kids, they set limits, telling us what not to do. Kids often have little say in the rules that influence us. Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people. A. Therefore, age has nothing to do with being responsible. B. At the same time, Kids have done many amazing things. C. Kids often think big, without the doubts that adults have. D. What’s worse, adults often think poorly of kids’ abilities. E. But there’s a problem in the idea that kids are better than adults. F. Our courage to imagine helps push the boundaries of possibility. G. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, mainly due to distrust. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了孩子身上具有的独特品质，并提出孩子从成人身上学习很多，成人也应该向孩子学习。 【16题详解】 上文“But look at the bigger picture: many big problems — like world wars — were caused by adults.(但纵观全局：许多重大问题，如世界大战，都是由成年人造成的)”讲述了成年人制造了许多重大问题，后文“Anne Frank shared her powerful story of the Holocaust in her teens, Ruby Bridges fought against racial division in the U.S. at 6, and 7-year-old Charlie Simpson raised £ 120,000 for Haiti on his little bike.(Anne Frank在十几岁时分享了她关于大屠杀的强有力的故事，Ruby Bridges在6岁时与美国的种族分裂作斗争，7岁的Charlie Simpson骑着他的小自行车为海地筹集了12万英镑)”讲述了3个孩子做出的巨大成就，由此可知，空处承上启下，指出孩子可以做许多令人惊叹的事，B项“与此同时，孩子们做了许多令人惊叹的事情。”符合题意。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“Anne Frank shared her powerful story of the Holocaust in her teens, Ruby Bridges fought against racial division in the U.S. at 6, and 7-year-old Charlie Simpson raised £ 120,000 for Haiti on his little bike.(Anne Frank在十几岁时分享了她关于大屠杀的强有力的故事，Ruby Bridges在6岁时与美国的种族分裂作斗争，7岁的Charlie Simpson骑着他的小自行车为海地筹集了12万英镑)”列举了3个孩子做出了巨大成就，下文“Many characteristics considered as childish are often found in adults, so we should rethink using this word to blame irresponsible behavior.(许多被视为幼稚的特征往往出现在成年人身上，因此我们应该重新思考使用这个词来指责不负责任的行为)”讲述了许多幼稚行为往往出现在成人身上，所以在用childish来形容不负责任行为的时候应该重新思考，由此可知，空处应说年龄与责任无关，A项“因此，年龄与责任无关。”符合题意。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“Adults may have grand plans but stopped themselves, thinking. “That’s impossible,” or, “That costs too much.”(成年人可能有宏伟的计划，但会自己停下来思考。“那是不可能的”，或者“那花费太多了”)”讲述了成年人虽然有宏伟计划，但是会因考虑太多限制而被困住，空处应讲述孩子的做法，C项“孩子们经常敢想，没有成年人的怀疑。”符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据后文“For example, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, has a program called Kids Design Glass, where kids create their own glass art ideas. The artists have said that kids’ ideas are often the best because they don’t worry about the difficulties of blowing glass into certain shapes; they just think of good ideas.(例如，华盛顿州塔科马的玻璃博物馆有一个名为“Kids Design Glass”的项目，孩子们可以在那里创造自己的玻璃艺术创意。艺术家们说，孩子们的想法往往是最好的，因为他们不担心把玻璃吹成特定形状的困难；他们只是想出好主意)”可知，后文举了“Kids Design Glass”项目的例子，孩子们只需想出好主意，由此可知，本段主要讲述的是想象的好处，F项“我们想象的勇气有助于突破可能性的界限。”符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“Adults should learn from kids as well. Learning should go both ways.(成年人也应该向孩子学习。学习应该是双向的)”讲述了孩子和成人应该互相学习，成年人要向孩子学习，后文“When adults don’t trust kids, they set limits, telling us what not to do.(当成年人不信任孩子时，他们会设定限制，告诉我们不该做什么)”讲述了成人不信任孩子的情况，由此可知，空处应与上文转折，引出下文，G项“不幸的是，现实情况有点不同，主要是由于不信任。”讲述了理想和现实不同，因为有不信任的情况，符合题意。故选G。 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。 When I was a young boy, we lived near a public swimming pool where I spent hours playing in the summer.

Ann was my best friend, the only other girl in the neighborhood, and I didn’t want her to go. She sat on my bed, her blue eyes blank. “I’m bored,” she said, slowly playing her thick red hair. She had come to play half an hour ago. “Please don’t go,” I begged her again. “Your mother said you could stay for an hour.” Ann started to get up, then spotted a pair of beautiful Indian boots on my bedside table. With their bright-color and soft leather, the boots were my most cherished possession (珍视的财产). “I’ll stay if you’ll give me those,” Ann said. I hesitated (犹豫不决). I couldn’t imagine parting with the boots. “But Aunt Reba gave them to me,” I said in a low voice. My aunt had been a beautiful, kind woman. I had really loved her. She was never too busy to spend time with me. We made up silly stories and laughed and laughed. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, as I held the soft boots in my hands, I was filled with fond memories of Aunt Reba. “Come on,” pressed Ann. “I’m your best friend.” As if she needed to remind me! I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything, I wanted someone to play with me. I wanted someone to play with so much that I handed Ann the boots! After she put them in her bag, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood for a while. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I didn’t feel like playing anyway. I told mom “not hungry” that evening and dragged off (拖着脚步) to bed without dinner. Once up in my room, I began to really miss my boots. 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。 When mom came in to say goodnight, she asked me what was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The second day. I gathered all my courage and asked Ann to return my boots. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When mom came in to say goodnight, she asked me what was wrong. I buried my face in the pillow, tears streaming down. “I gave Ann my favorite Indian boots,” I confessed, my voice trembling. Mom sat down beside me and gently stroked my hair. “I know those boots meant a lot to you, but sometimes we make sacrifices for the sake of friendship,” she said soothingly. “Talk to Ann tomorrow. Maybe she’ll understand how much they meant to you and offer to give them back.” Her words brought me a glimmer of hope, but I still felt hollow inside. The second day, I gathered all my courage and asked Ann to return my boots. She hesitated, a flicker of guilt passing across her face. “I really like them,” she admitted softly. “But I understand how much they meant to you. They were a gift from your aunt, weren’t they?” I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. Ann sighed and reached into her bag, pulling out the boots. “Here, take them back. I didn’t realize they were so special to you.” As I took the boots, a wave of relief washed over me. Our friendship had survived this test, and I was grateful for Ann’s understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了作者因为想要留住好朋友安，而将自己最珍爱的、由已故姨妈送的印度靴子送给了安。但事后主人公非常后悔和难过，晚饭也没吃就早早上了床。妈妈安慰她并建议她和安谈谈。第二天，主人公鼓起勇气向安要回靴子，安虽然很喜欢，但理解靴子对主人公的意义，于是归还了靴子。两人的友谊也因此经受住了考验。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈进来跟我说晚安时，问我怎么了。”可知，第一段可描写作者的难过以及纠结的情绪，同时描写妈妈的安慰并且建议作者主动跟安谈一谈，要回靴子。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我鼓足勇气让安把靴子还给我。”可知，第二段可描写安将靴子还给了作者，并明白这双靴子对于作者的意义，同时二人之间的友谊经受住了考验并愈加稳定。 2.续写线索：告诉妈妈实情——妈妈安慰并给出建议——作者跟安要回靴子——安归还靴子并理解靴子的意义——作者如释重负倍感欣慰——二人友谊更加牢固 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①还回：give back/return ②拿出：pull out/take out ③明白：understand/be aware of 情绪类 ①安慰地说：soothingly/relievedly ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] I buried my face in the pillow, tears streaming down.（句中含有独立主格结构） [高分句型2] As I took the boots, a wave of relief washed over me.（句中含有as引导状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024年秋学期高一期中质量调研 英语试卷 2024. 11 注意：本试卷分四个部分，答案全部做在答题纸上。总分为150分。考试时间120分钟。 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，共7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题。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.

B Once I read about a country where if you go to a house and praise some small things, the owners feel it a must to offer it to you as a gift. I don’t remember the name of the country; the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother’s home. Knowing Mama, I have always been careful with my praise, but that doesn’t stop her. She can always sense admiration beyond words. “I was just staring at that photo of Mount Hood because I have a similar one in my bedroom.” Mama would nod, “Of course. You were thinking how nice it would be to have a set. If a mother doesn’t understand, who does?” Recently I have been worrying for weeks about a Mother’s Day gift for Mama, as there is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will quickly come back to the giver. If I buy her something wearable, she immediately finds it fits me perfectly. If I give her a plant, she cuts off the top for me to take home and root in a glass of water. If I give her some food, she wants me to stay for lunch and eat it. My wise Papa, long ago stopped trying to shop for her. Instead, on every important occasion he writes a short poem in which he tells of their meeting, wedding, and later marriage life. After nearly 30 years of poems, Papa sometimes worries that his poetic inspiration has dried up, but Mama doesn’t complain. She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says, “It doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵) as long as it’s from the heart.” This year, finally, I think I, too, have found a painless gift for Mama. I am going to give her a magazine article, unrhymed but from the heart, in which I wish her “Happy Mother’s Day” and tell her there’s nothing Papa or I could ever buy, find, or make her that would be half good enough anyway. 4.

The 15-year-old has come up with an idea for a soap that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea. Heman’s family came to the US from Ethiopia when he was four. Heman remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without proper sun protection, which may well increase the risk of skin cancer. From his parents, he had a deeper understanding of its dangers. Skin cancer can often be cured, but the treatment is extremely expensive for those poor workers. Heman’s natural curiosity led him to experiment with different materials and at the age of 7, he nearly caused a fire with a chemistry set. As he got older, he began to wonder if his curiosity could actually help make a difference. Upon reading about imiquimod, a medicine that can help fight skin cancer in the early stages, he realized it was a good way to make the medicine work through a simple bar of soap. But Heman knew that simply mixing imiquimod with soap wouldn’t work, as it would just wash away. Instead, he thought of creating a soap that contained the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米颗粒) to make sure it remains on the skin after the soap washed off, allowing imiquimod to take effect. Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He is now working with scientists at Johns Hopkins University, running tests to see if the soap helps mice with skin cancer. Heman knows that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to develop his soap, but he’s excited about the work. He also encourages other young people to contribute. “Just keep inventing and thinking of new ways to improve our world and make it a better place,” Heman says. 8. What drove Heman Bekele to create the soap? A. His curiosity about skin cancer. B. His desire to develop a new medicine. C. His family’s history of skin cancer. D. His concern for unprotected workers outdoors. 9. Why does Heman use nanoparticles in his soap? A. To make imiquimod affordable B. To make imiquimod easier to use. C. To help imiquimod stick to the skin. D. To help imiquimod spread faster. 10. Which of the following best describes Heman according to the text? A. Curious and creative. B. Focused and frank. C. Understanding and modest. D. Efficient and generous. 11. What can be the suitable title of the passage? A. Fight against skin cancer. B. Be a gifted teenager. C. Follow a medical career. D. Meet a young scientist. D Relationships-romantic or not-are full of disappointment and frustration (沮丧). Even the most sincere and loving friends will have differing opinions. Sometimes, our heart broke when our friends arrive. Imagine this: you’ve just painted a picture you consider a great work, but the meaningful smile on your friends’ face upon seeing it tells you that, however highly they praise your painting, it is no masterpiece to them. People have long sought ways to circumvent these frustrations with art or technology. An old Roman tale tells of a man who once made his ideal friend out of stone, which was later brought to life through his prayer and communicated only with him. Similarly, modern young people also refuse undesirable socializing by watching movies and surfing the Internet. Sometimes it seems as if we can’t live with people. Yet, as social beings, we can’t live without them. When I first began having conversations with ChatGPT, I wondered if I had found a new friend. The chatbot seemed able to discuss anything. We had discussion on countless topics, in which it seemed to willingly accept some of my arguments, and its conclusion mirrored my own thoughts in a way that made me think, “Yes, we’re on the same wavelength!” As a friend, ChatGPT has qualities that a human friend could hardly match. It can offer a wealth of knowledge on any subject although sometimes it may repeat misinformation or make minor mistakes. Furthermore, it will never tell you that it is too busy or not in the mood to talk with you. However, if we can not accept the frustrations brought by human friends, there is a great chance that we can’t really know ourselves, and thus we won’t really grow. How do you react when you realize that your painting is actually not a great one? You won’t know unless you show it to someone and get a true and honest answer. When you and a friend want to do different things, will you compromise (妥协) or force your ideas on your friend? ChatGPT won’t give you the responses you expect from a human friend. However enjoyable your discussions with it may be, the relationships you develop with your fellow humans have no equal. 12. What does the example in Paragraph 1 show? A. The possibility of friends lying to you. B. The difference in opinion between friends. C. The difficulty in creating a great artwork. D. The importance of seeking friends’ praise. 13. What does the underlined word “circumvent” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Experience. B. Face. C. Avoid. D. Judge. 14. What makes ChatGPT seem like a good friend? A. It’s knowledgeable and like-minded. B. It never makes a mistake in discussion C. It considers your painting a great work. D. It allows you to know yourself and grow. 15 What does the author want to say according to the text? A. There is no replacement for human friends. B. Humans should avoid all social activities. C. Technology and art are better than friendship. D. ChatGPT is the perfect friend for everyone. 第二节(共5小题：每小题25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。其中有两项为多余选项。 What adults can learn from kids For kids like me, being called childish happens a lot. When we make silly requirements or act irresponsibly, adults often describe us as childish. But look at the bigger picture: many big problems — like world wars — were caused by adults. ____16____ Anne Frank shared her powerful story of the Holocaust in her teens, Ruby Bridges fought against racial division in the U.S. at 6, and 7-year-old Charlie Simpson raised £ 120,000 for Haiti on his little bike. ____17____ Many characteristics considered as childish are often found in adults, so we should rethink using this word to blame irresponsible behavior. Moreover, who says that some “childish” ideas aren’t what the world needs? Adults may have grand plans but stopped themselves, thinking. “That’s impossible,” or, “That costs too much.” ____18____ We dream of things like a world without hunger or suffering. While we know that such dreams can be impractical, dreaming is the first step to making things happen. ____19____ For example, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, has a program called Kids Design Glass, where kids create their own glass art ideas. The artists have said that kids’ ideas are often the best because they don’t worry about the difficulties of blowing glass into certain shapes; they just think of good ideas. Kids learn a lot from adults but we also have valuable ideas to share. Adults should learn from kids as well. Learning should go both ways. ____20____ When adults don’t trust kids, they set limits, telling us what not to do. Kids often have little say in the rules that influence us. Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people. A. Therefore age has nothing to do with being responsible. B. At the same time Kids have done many amazing things. C. Kids often think big, without the doubts that adults have. D. What’s worse, adults often think poorly of kids’ abilities. E. But there’s a problem in the idea that kids are better than adults. F. Our courage to imagine helps push the boundaries of possibility. G. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, mainly due to distrust. 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。 When I was a young boy, we lived near a public swimming pool where I spent hours playing in the summer.

Ann was my best friend, the only other girl in the neighborhood, and I didn’t want her to go. She sat on my bed, her blue eyes blank. “I’m bored,” she said, slowly playing her thick red hair. She had come to play half an hour ago. “Please don’t go,” I begged her again. “Your mother said you could stay for an hour.” Ann started to get up, then spotted a pair of beautiful Indian boots on my bedside table. With their bright-color and soft leather, the boots were my most cherished possession (珍视的财产). “I’ll stay if you’ll give me those,” Ann said. I hesitated (犹豫不决). I couldn’t imagine parting with the boots. “But Aunt Reba gave them to me,” I said in a low voice. My aunt had been a beautiful, kind woman. I had really loved her. She was never too busy to spend time with me. We made up silly stories and laughed and laughed. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, as I held the soft boots in my hands, I was filled with fond memories of Aunt Reba. “Come on,” pressed Ann. “I’m your best friend.” As if she needed to remind me! I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything, I wanted someone to play with me. I wanted someone to play with so much that I handed Ann the boots! After she put them in her bag, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood for a while. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I didn’t feel like playing anyway. I told mom “not hungry” that evening and dragged off (拖着脚步) to bed without dinner. Once up in my room, I began to really miss my boots. 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。 When mom came in to say goodnight, she asked me what was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The second day.
