To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway. Paris Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Élysées, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don’t have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers. London Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London’s green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eye. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren’t unprecedented (史无前例的). If you’re willing to deal with some heat and the crowds the season brings, you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip. 21. What is a suggested way to save money in Paris? A. Booking a vacation rental. B. Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. C. Visiting the Louvre first thing in the morning. D. Dining alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Élysées. 22. What is one way that tourism can help protect the Great Barrier Reef? A. By sailing on the open area. B. By promoting diving activities. C. By contributing to protection funds. D. By kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach. 23. What is a common challenge faced by tourists in both Paris and London during the summer? A. High hotel prices. B. Extreme heat waves. C. Crowded tourist sites. D. Limited access to popular attractions. B In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring. My father had died four months earlier and I had been wearing a gold ring of his that was gifted to me. On the second day of our hike, as the rest of our group set off after lunch, I was walking at the back with my wife when I looked down at my hand where my dad’s ring usually was. It was gone. I spent the next few minutes and hours being comforted by my friends and family and regretting how I could lose something so precious on a hiking trip. My friend encouraged me to search for my ring in my pack, which I did when we stopped for a drink. There was no ring. We set up camp and settled in at Kingfisher Flat, the most beautiful campsite, sitting beside a flowing creek. That night I went to sleep and eventually reconciled that my ring was gone for good. Finishing the hike the following day, back at Mambray Creek, my mate said we should have one last look for the ring at the campsite before setting off. I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula. As we approached our campsite our friends started searching around the grounds for the ring. I inspected our fuel gauge completely, while my eldest daughter walked to the fire ring where we’d been chatting and laughing. Seconds later I heard my daughter say “I’ve found it!” I seriously could not believe what she’d said until she presented me with my dad’s ring. I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad’s ring was found. This precious chapter made the two nights hiking something I will never forget. 24. What happened after the author losing his father’s ring during the hike? A. The author decided to buy a new ring. B. The group decided to end the trip early. C. The author received comfort from friends and family. D. The author immediately found the ring in his sleeping bag. 25. What does the underlined word “reconciled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Felt angry and frustrated. B. Argued about the situation. C. Made peace with the situation. D. Found a solution to the problem. 26. Why did the author agree to have one last look for the ring at the campsite? A. Because his friends insisted on searching again. B. Because he was still hopeful of finding the ring. C. Because he wanted to spend more time with his family. D. Because there were toilets nearby, making it a convenient stop. 27. What’s the purpose of the story? A. to describe the natural beauty of St. Vincent Gulf and its surroundings. B. to promote the benefits of family camping trips and outdoor activities. C. to provide a detailed account of hiking techniques and outdoor survival tips. D. to share the emotional journey of losing and finding a cherished family treasure. C Britain’s last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution. The Ratcliffe-on-Soar station in central England is to finish its final shift at midnight, after more than half a century of turning coal into power. Owner Uniper says many of the 170 remaining employees will stay on during a two-year decommissioning (停用关闭) process. The UK government hailed (赞扬) the closure as a milestone in efforts to generate all of Britain’s energy from renewable sources by 2030. The shutdown makes Britain the first country from the Group of Seven major economies to phase out coal — though some other European nations, including Sweden and Belgium, got there sooner. Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant’s closure “marks the end of an era and coal workers can be rightly proud of their work powering our country for over 140 years. We owe generations a debt of gratitude as a country. The era of coal might be ending, but a new age of good energy jobs for our country is just beginning.” The world’s first coal-fired electricity plant, Edison Electric Light Station, opened in London in 1882. Ratcliffe-on-Soar, which opened in 1968, is a landmark whose eight concrete cooling towers and 199-meter chimney are seen by millions of people a year as they drive past on the M1 highway or speed by on trains. In 1990 coal provided about 80% of Britain’s electricity. By 2012 it had fallen to 39%, and by 2023 it stood at just 1%, according to figures from the National Grid. More than half of Britain’s electricity now comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, and the rest from natural gas and nuclear energy. “Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country’s power — generating a third of our electricity,” said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy U. K. “So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal’s contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement. As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition (转变), it’s worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible.” 28. What is the significance of the closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar station? A. It marks the beginning of Britain’s energy transition. B. It is the first step towards renewable energy in the UK. C. It shows the end of coal-generated electricity in Britain. D. It indicates that Britain has already reached its renewable energy goals. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The country is in debt and needs to repay its loans to the past generations. B. The country asked for gratitude from future generations for its current energy policies. C. The UK’s gratitude to coal workers is now complete with the closure of the last coal plant. D. The UK acknowledged the significant contributions of coal workers throughout the industrial history. 30. What does Dhara Vyas mainly imply in the last paragraph? A Britain should have aimed for more ambitious energy transition targets earlier. B. The replacement of coal by clean sources in Britain happened faster than expected. C. The decline of coal as a power source in Britain was a slow and predictable process. D. Despite the remarkable shift to clean and low-carbon energy, challenges still remain. 31. Which of the following can be a best title for the text? A. “The Economic Impact of Coal Plant Closures in the UK” B. “Britain’s Coal Legacy: A Century of Power and Progress” C “Renewable Energy Triumph: Britain Says Goodbye to Coal” D. “The Final Countdown: Britain’s Last Coal Plant Closes Its Doors” D Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) may be more capable of adapting to hotter and more acidic (酸性的) oceans than we thought, raising hopes of preserving these biodiverse ecosystems. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to our emissions pose a twin threat to the world’s coral reefs. Higher temperatures stress corals and this can lead to mass bleaching (漂白) and death. In addition, atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes the water more acidic and weakens coral skeletons. This, along with pollution and overfishing, has already created a crisis for the planet’s reefs. To find out more about the extent and speed at which coral species could adapt, Jury and his colleagues at the University of Hawai’i collected dozens of specimens of eight different coral species from reefs around O’ahu, Hawai’i. They were then grown in an outdoor lab under four different conditions: under today’s climate, one with temperatures raised by 2℃ but water chemistry unchanged, another with temperatures held but water chemistry made more acidic, and the last with both temperature and water chemistry changed to produce the warmer, more acidic conditions. The test lasted as long as six months, but “the corals did surprisingly well”, says Jury. All saw lower growth rates-a measure of coral health -under the more stressful conditions. Yet individuals of all species survived the combined stressors, with no clear trade-off between tolerance to heat and acidity. In fact, there is building evidence of a significant potential to adapt to changing oceans. For instance, in a second study published this month, Melissa Naugle at Southern Cross University in Australia and her colleagues analysed heat tolerance of different coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. They found unexpectedly large variation in heat tolerance, even among corals in the same part of the reef, which could be especially valuable for efforts to restore reefs by breeding more tolerant corals. “I’m cautiously optimistic,” says Lisa McManus at the University of Hawai’i, who wasn’t involved with any of the research. But she cautions that any adaptive potential still depends on how much coral is left after extreme events. “In a lot of areas around the world, there’s little coral cover left.” 32. What is the effect of more acidic oceans on coral reefs? A. Mass bleaching. B. Weakening skeletons. C. Overfishing and pollution. D. Higher temperatures and CO2. 33. How did Jury and his colleagues conduct their study on corals? A. By collecting from different oceans globally. B. By growing under only one environmental condition. C. By testing without considering coral species differences. D. By cultivating in different conditions with local coral species. 34. What can we learn from Melissa Naugle’s study? A. Some species of corals may better help restore reefs. B. Great Barrier Reef corals’ heat tolerance is equally high. C. Environmental factors solely decide Great Barrier Reef corals’ heat tolerance. D. Heat-tolerance variation among Great Barrier Reef corals is too minor to matter. 35. What is the attitude of Lisa McManus towards the future of coral reefs? A. Assured, expecting full adaptation without worries. B. Anxious, fearing the approaching loss of coral reefs. C. Negative, questioning the adaptability of coral reefs. D. Hopeful, with concerns about post-extreme event survival. 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。 Leadership Secret Amazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called “an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped. ____36____ The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore selling other stuff to a retailer that once sold mostly books. Then, Amazons stock (股票) is up 397 percent in the last five years. So, what’s behind the success? ____37____ Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer, the most important person in the room. Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about what customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. ____38____ Amazon’s data shows that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity. But it doesn’t fully explain the extraordinary success. For Bezos, a data driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazons kindle, for example, came into being because he believed millions would want an e-book reader, downloading any book within 60 seconds. ____39____ Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers. Efficiency — cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics — is also an important part of the Amazon culture. ____40____ In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers. A. In fact, Bezos links the two. B. That turning point might be Bezos’ greatest achievement. C. He set that target without getting trapped by technical issues. D. Even the tiniest delay in loading a webpage isn’t insignificant. E. Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service. F. Bezos could have done it earlier, but he took over twenty years to complete that target. G. Amazon managers would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rules their lives. 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。 Holly Lillard, when going outside to wash the windows, ____41____ to find a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner, Jamie McCall.

With tight budget, she couldn’t ____47____ to stay another night but continued her trip without him, heartbroken. The next day, Lillard ____48____ Tucker by a garbage bin. She took him home, and ____49____ his story in a lost-pet Facebook group. Soon McCall was on the phone with Lillard, hearing Tucker’s cries and sobbing with _____50_____. McCall’s luck was _____51_____: Lillard’s grandfather was heading to Michigan, and Lillard was happy to _____52_____ Tucker until the cat could hitch a ride with him.

Manu an eight-year-old was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs, at the Khagal house. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school. “Manu, wake up! It’s school time!” shouted out Manu’s mother Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and ignored his mother’s repeated attempts to wake him up. “Manu! It’s already 6 o’clock and your school bus will be here by 7. So please wake up and get ready. Manu continued sleeping. Finally, after much pestering and pampering (纠缠和纵容), Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his house while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to his school bus. “Phew! Manu didn’t miss his bus today” Akhila sighed. She was really concerned about her son. Manu couldn’t do anything on time, waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. Akhila thought to herself “need to work out a plan to teach him a lesson in self-discipline (自律). Repeated advice and warnings haven’t changed him.” The next day it was the usual scene at the Khagal house except that there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was 7. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave. There was unusual confidence on Akhila’s face. Manu finally woke up at around 9 o’ clock. He ran down to the kitchen and cried out “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up? The school bus has already left and I am really late for school today.” He couldn’t stop crying. “I have a math test today and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test.” The calm face of Akhila made Manu feel more anxious. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mom, what should I do now? Please help!” said Manu weepingly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The scene the next day at the Khagal house was a little different ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第一学期温州环大罗山联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共10页满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分（共95分） 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5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age. Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is. In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true. We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文。从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A For many, the desire to travel peaks when summer rolls around. To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway. Paris Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Élysées, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don’t have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers. London Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London’s green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eye. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren’t unprecedented (史无前例的). If you’re willing to deal with some heat and the crowds the season brings, you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip. 21. What is a suggested way to save money in Paris? A. Booking a vacation rental. B. Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. C. Visiting the Louvre first thing in the morning. D. Dining alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Élysées. 22. What is one way that tourism can help protect the Great Barrier Reef? A. By sailing on the open area. B. By promoting diving activities. C. By contributing to protection funds. D. By kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach. 23. What is a common challenge faced by tourists in both Paris and London during the summer? A. High hotel prices. B. Extreme heat waves. C. Crowded tourist sites. D. Limited access to popular attractions. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个适合暑假旅游的好去处。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。文章Paris段最后一句讲到“You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. (你可能想考虑度假租赁来省钱，你应该计划在早上第一件事就是参观卢浮宫等世界著名的景点，以避免大量游客)”可知，在巴黎早上第一件事就是参观卢浮宫能够省钱。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。文章Great Barrier Reef部分讲到“And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. (而且，不管你信不信，你的旅游资金可以帮助保护这个迅速消失的自然奇观)”可知，旅游业可以帮助保护大堡礁的一种方式是向保护基金捐款。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。文章Paris段最后一句讲到“You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. (你可能想考虑度假租赁来省钱，你应该计划在早上第一件事就是参观卢浮宫等世界著名的景点，以避免大量游客)”以及London部分讲到“If you’re willing to deal with some heat and the crowds the season brings you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip. (如果你愿意应对这个季节带来的一些高温和人群，你一定会有一次愉快的旅行)”可知，两个旅游景点都提到了大量的人群。由此可知，在夏季巴黎和伦敦游客面临的共同挑战是拥挤的旅游景点。故选C。 B In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring. My father had died four months earlier and I had been wearing a gold ring of his that was gifted to me. On the second day of our hike, as the rest of our group set off after lunch, I was walking at the back with my wife when I looked down at my hand where my dad’s ring usually was. It was gone. I spent the next few minutes and hours being comforted by my friends and family and regretting how I could lose something so precious on a hiking trip. My friend encouraged me to search for my ring in my pack, which I did when we stopped for a drink. There was no ring. We set up camp and settled in at Kingfisher Flat, the most beautiful campsite, sitting beside a flowing creek. That night I went to sleep and eventually reconciled that my ring was gone for good. Finishing the hike the following day, back at Mambray Creek, my mate said we should have one last look for the ring at the campsite before setting off. I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula. As we approached our campsite our friends started searching around the grounds for the ring. I inspected our fuel gauge completely, while my eldest daughter walked to the fire ring where we’d been chatting and laughing. Seconds later I heard my daughter say “I’ve found it!” I seriously could not believe what she’d said until she presented me with my dad’s ring. I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad’s ring was found. This precious chapter made the two nights hiking something I will never forget. 24. What happened after the author losing his father’s ring during the hike? A. The author decided to buy a new ring. B. The group decided to end the trip early. C. The author received comfort from friends and family. D. The author immediately found the ring in his sleeping bag. 25. What does the underlined word “reconciled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Felt angry and frustrated. B. Argued about the situation. C. Made peace with the situation. D. Found a solution to the problem. 26. Why did the author agree to have one last look for the ring at the campsite? A. Because his friends insisted on searching again. B. Because he was still hopeful of finding the ring. C. Because he wanted to spend more time with his family. D. Because there were toilets nearby, making it a convenient stop. 27. What’s the purpose of the story? A. to describe the natural beauty of St. Vincent Gulf and its surroundings. B. to promote the benefits of family camping trips and outdoor activities. C. to provide a detailed account of hiking techniques and outdoor survival tips. D. to share the emotional journey of losing and finding a cherished family treasure. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在徒步旅行中丢失了父亲留下戒指，最后在营地被女儿意外找回的感人经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I spent the next few minutes and hours being comforted by my friends and family and regretting how I could lose something so precious on a hiking trip. (在接下来的几分钟和几个小时里，我的朋友和家人都在安慰我，我后悔怎么会在徒步旅行中丢失这么珍贵的东西)”可知，作者在徒步旅行中丢失父亲的戒指后，得到了朋友和家人的安慰。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“That night I went to sleep and eventually reconciled that my ring was gone for good. (那天晚上，我上床睡觉，并最终reconciled我的戒指永远不见了)”中“eventually”和“my ring was gone for good”可推知，作者最终接受了戒指丢失这一事实。划线词reconciled意思是“接受，顺从”，与“Made peace with the situation(接受这个情况)”同义。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“I went along with the idea, especially given there were toilets nearby and it was a four-hour drive back to our home on the Fleurieu Peninsula.(我接受了这个想法，尤其是考虑到附近有厕所，而且回我们在弗勒里厄半岛的家还要开四个小时的车)”可知，作者同意在营地最后再找一次戒指是因为附近有厕所，可以顺便停一下。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In July 2020, over two nights and three days, with my wife, three kids and another family of camping friends, we enjoyed views of St. Vincent Gulf and a time made even more memorable by a ring.(2020年7月，在两天三天的时间里，我和妻子、三个孩子以及另一家露营的朋友一起欣赏了圣文森特湾的景色，一枚戒指让这段时光变得更加难忘)”和最后一段中“I accepted the ring, hugged my daughter and to this day find it hard to believe my dad’s ring was found. This precious chapter made the two nights hiking something I will never forget.(我接过戒指，抱了抱女儿，直到今天，我仍然难以相信我找到了父亲的戒指。这段珍贵的经历让我永远忘不了那两晚的徒步旅行)”可知，文章主要目的是分享失去和找回珍贵家庭宝藏的情感旅程。故选D项。 C Britain’s last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution. The Ratcliffe-on-Soar station in central England is to finish its final shift at midnight, after more than half a century of turning coal into power. Owner Uniper says many of the 170 remaining employees will stay on during a two-year decommissioning (停用关闭) process. The UK government hailed (赞扬) the closure as a milestone in efforts to generate all of Britain’s energy from renewable sources by 2030. The shutdown makes Britain the first country from the Group of Seven major economies to phase out coal — though some other European nations, including Sweden and Belgium, got there sooner. Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant’s closure “marks the end of an era and coal workers can be rightly proud of their work powering our country for over 140 years. We owe generations a debt of gratitude as a country. The era of coal might be ending, but a new age of good energy jobs for our country is just beginning.” The world’s first coal-fired electricity plant, Edison Electric Light Station, opened in London in 1882. Ratcliffe-on-Soar, which opened in 1968, is a landmark whose eight concrete cooling towers and 199-meter chimney are seen by millions of people a year as they drive past on the M1 highway or speed by on trains. In 1990 coal provided about 80% of Britain’s electricity. By 2012 it had fallen to 39%, and by 2023 it stood at just 1%, according to figures from the National Grid. More than half of Britain’s electricity now comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, and the rest from natural gas and nuclear energy. “Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country’s power — generating a third of our electricity,” said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy U. K. “So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal’s contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement. As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition (转变), it’s worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible.” 28. What is the significance of the closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar station? A. It marks the beginning of Britain’s energy transition. B. It is the first step towards renewable energy in the UK. C. It shows the end of coal-generated electricity in Britain. D. It indicates that Britain has already reached its renewable energy goals. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The country is in debt and needs to repay its loans to the past generations. B. The country asked for gratitude from future generations for its current energy policies. C. The UK’s gratitude to coal workers is now complete with the closure of the last coal plant. D. The UK acknowledged the significant contributions of coal workers throughout the industrial history. 30. What does Dhara Vyas mainly imply in the last paragraph? A. Britain should have aimed for more ambitious energy transition targets earlier. B. The replacement of coal by clean sources in Britain happened faster than expected. C. The decline of coal as a power source in Britain was a slow and predictable process. D. Despite the remarkable shift to clean and low-carbon energy, challenges still remain. 31. Which of the following can be a best title for the text? A. “The Economic Impact of Coal Plant Closures in the UK” B. “Britain’s Coal Legacy: A Century of Power and Progress” C. “Renewable Energy Triumph: Britain Says Goodbye to Coal” D. “The Final Countdown: Britain’s Last Coal Plant Closes Its Doors” 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是英国最后一座燃煤电厂关闭，标志着煤电时代的终结，开启可再生能源新篇章。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段的“Britain’s last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution.(英国最后一家燃煤发电厂将于周一关闭，结束了该国142年的燃煤发电，正是燃煤发电引发了工业革命)”可知，Ratcliffe-on-Soar电站的关闭标志着英国煤电时代的正式结束。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the plant’s closure “marks the end of an era and coal workers can be rightly proud of their work powering our country for over 140 years. We owe generations a debt of gratitude as a country.(能源部长迈克尔·尚克斯（Michael Shanks）表示，该工厂的关闭“标志着一个时代的结束，煤炭工人可以为他们为我们国家供电140多年的工作感到自豪。”作为一个国家，我们欠几代人一份感激之情)”可知，能源部长迈克尔·尚克斯的声明表明英国政府对煤炭工人在过去140多年中为国家电力供应做出的贡献表示感谢。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段““Ten years ago, coal was the leading source of this country’s power —generating a third of our electricity,” said Dhara Vyas, deputy chief executive of Energy U. K. “So, to get to this point just a decade later, with coal’s contribution replaced by clean and low carbon sources, is an incredible achievement. As we aim for further ambitious targets in the energy transition (转变), it’s worth remembering that few back then thought such a change at such a pace was possible.”(“十年前，煤炭是这个国家电力主要来源，占全国电力的三分之一，”英国能源公司副总裁达拉·维亚斯说，“所以，仅仅十年后，煤炭的贡献被清洁和低碳能源所取代，这是一个令人难以置信的成就。当我们在能源转型中瞄准进一步雄心勃勃的目标时，值得记住的是，当时很少有人认为这样的变化是可能的。”)”可知，英国能源公司副总裁达拉·维亚斯认为，仅仅十年后，煤炭的贡献被清洁和低碳能源所取代，这是一个难以置信的成就，由此可知，本段暗示了过去十年中，英国从依赖煤炭到转向清洁能源的速度之快，超出了许多人的预期。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“Britain’s last coal-fired power plant will close on Monday, ending 142 years of coal-generated electricity in the nation that sparked the Industrial Revolution.(英国最后一家燃煤发电厂将于周一关闭，结束了该国142年的燃煤发电，正是燃煤发电引发了工业革命)”可知，英国最后一个燃煤发电厂关闭，结合下文介绍的这一事件在英国能源转型中的意义可知，本文主要讲述的是英国最后一个燃煤电厂的关闭，所以题目“最后的倒计时：英国最后一家燃煤电厂关闭”与本文讲述的内容吻合，且概括了本文的主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) may be more capable of adapting to hotter and more acidic (酸性的) oceans than we thought, raising hopes of preserving these biodiverse ecosystems. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to our emissions pose a twin threat to the world’s coral reefs. Higher temperatures stress corals and this can lead to mass bleaching (漂白) and death. In addition, atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes the water more acidic and weakens coral skeletons. This, along with pollution and overfishing, has already created a crisis for the planet’s reefs. To find out more about the extent and speed at which coral species could adapt, Jury and his colleagues at the University of Hawai’i collected dozens of specimens of eight different coral species from reefs around O’ahu, Hawai’i. They were then grown in an outdoor lab under four different conditions: under today’s climate, one with temperatures raised by 2℃ but water chemistry unchanged, another with temperatures held but water chemistry made more acidic, and the last with both temperature and water chemistry changed to produce the warmer, more acidic conditions. The test lasted as long as six months, but “the corals did surprisingly well”, says Jury. All saw lower growth rates-a measure of coral health -under the more stressful conditions. Yet individuals of all species survived the combined stressors, with no clear trade-off between tolerance to heat and acidity. In fact, there is building evidence of a significant potential to adapt to changing oceans. For instance, in a second study published this month, Melissa Naugle at Southern Cross University in Australia and her colleagues analysed heat tolerance of different coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. They found unexpectedly large variation in heat tolerance, even among corals in the same part of the reef, which could be especially valuable for efforts to restore reefs by breeding more tolerant corals. “I’m cautiously optimistic,” says Lisa McManus at the University of Hawai’i, who wasn’t involved with any of the research. But she cautions that any adaptive potential still depends on how much coral is left after extreme events. “In a lot of areas around the world, there’s little coral cover left.” 32. What is the effect of more acidic oceans on coral reefs? A. Mass bleaching. B. Weakening skeletons. C. Overfishing and pollution. D. Higher temperatures and CO2. 33. How did Jury and his colleagues conduct their study on corals? A. By collecting from different oceans globally. B. By growing under only one environmental condition. C. By testing without considering coral species differences. D. By cultivating in different conditions with local coral species. 34. What can we learn from Melissa Naugle’s study? A. Some species of corals may better help restore reefs. B Great Barrier Reef corals’ heat tolerance is equally high. C. Environmental factors solely decide Great Barrier Reef corals’ heat tolerance. D. Heat-tolerance variation among Great Barrier Reef corals is too minor to matter. 35. What is the attitude of Lisa McManus towards the future of coral reefs? A. Assured, expecting full adaptation without worries. B. Anxious, fearing the approaching loss of coral reefs. C. Negative, questioning the adaptability of coral reefs. D. Hopeful, with concerns about post-extreme event survival. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现珊瑚礁可能比我们想象的更有能力适应更热、更酸的海洋，这增加了保护这些生物多样性生态系统的希望。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In addition, atmospheric CO2 absorbed by the ocean makes the water more acidic and weakens coral skeletons.(此外，海洋吸收大气中的二氧化碳会使海水变得更酸，削弱珊瑚骨骼。)”可知，酸性海洋弱化了珊瑚骨骼。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To find out more about the extent and speed at which coral species could adapt, Jury and his colleagues at the University of Hawai’i collected dozens of specimens of eight different coral species from reefs around O’ahu, Hawai’i. They were then grown in an outdoor lab under four different conditions(为了进一步了解珊瑚物种适应环境的程度和速度，朱尔和他在夏威夷大学的同事们从夏威夷奥胡岛周围的珊瑚礁中收集了数十种不同珊瑚物种的标本。然后在四种不同的条件下在室外实验室中培养它们)”以及下文中介绍的四种不同条件的介绍可知，该实验是通过用当地珊瑚物种在不同条件下对珊瑚进行研究的。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“For instance, in a second study published this month, Melissa Naugle at Southern Cross University in Australia and her colleagues analysed heat tolerance of different coral species on the Great Barrier Reef. They found unexpectedly large variation in heat tolerance, even among corals in the same part of the reef, which could be especially valuable for efforts to restore reefs by breeding more tolerant corals.(例如，在本月发表的第二项研究中，澳大利亚南十字星大学的Melissa Naugle和她的同事分析了大堡礁不同珊瑚物种的耐热性。他们意外地发现，即使在珊瑚礁同一部分的珊瑚之间，耐热性也存在很大差异，这对于通过繁殖更耐受性的珊瑚来恢复珊瑚礁的努力尤其有价值。)”可知，Melissa Naugle的研究发现大堡礁珊瑚耐热性存在显著的差异，由此可知，这种差异对于选择能够更好适应未来环境条件的珊瑚种类来进行恢复工作是非常有价值的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段““I’m cautiously optimistic,” says Lisa McManus at the University of Hawai’i, who wasn’t involved with any of the research.(“我持谨慎乐观的态度，”夏威夷大学的Lisa McManus说，她没有参与任何研究。)”可知，她对珊瑚的适应能力持谨慎乐观的态度，结合下文的“But she cautions that any adaptive potential still depends on how much coral is left after extreme events. “In a lot of areas around the world, there’s little coral cover left.”(但她警告说，任何适应潜力仍然取决于极端事件后剩下多少珊瑚。“在世界上很多地区，几乎没有珊瑚覆盖。”)”可知，她也表达了对极端天气事件后珊瑚存活率的担忧，特别是考虑到许多地方的珊瑚覆盖率已经很低，综合以上信息可知，Lisa McManus对珊瑚礁的未来充满希望，但也担心极端事件后珊瑚礁的生存。故选D项。 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。 Leadership Secret Amazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called “an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped. ____36____ The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore selling other stuff to a retailer that once sold mostly books. Then, Amazons stock (股票) is up 397 percent in the last five years. So, what’s behind the success? ____37____ Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer, the most important person in the room. Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about what customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. ____38____ Amazon’s data shows that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity. But it doesn’t fully explain the extraordinary success. For Bezos, a data driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazons kindle, for example, came into being because he believed millions would want an e-book reader, downloading any book within 60 seconds. ____39____ Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers. Efficiency — cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics — is also an important part of the Amazon culture. ____40____ In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers. A. In fact, Bezos links the two. B. That turning point might be Bezos’ greatest achievement. C. He set that target without getting trapped by technical issues. D. Even the tiniest delay in loading a webpage isn’t insignificant. E. Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service. F. Bezos could have done it earlier, but he took over twenty years to complete that target. G. Amazon managers would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rules their lives. 【答案】36. B 37. G 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊从在线书店转型为多品类零售巨头，过去五年股票上涨397%。Jeff Bezos通过客户至上的理念减少延迟、缺陷和缺货，同时鼓励创新，如推出Kindle，并通过提高效率和降低成本，为顾客提供低价产品，最终实现成功。 【36题详解】 根据前文“The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.”（这家零售巨头曾与书籍、音乐和视频密切相关，如今已拥有数千万种商品，其中大多数是非媒体类商品，从电钻到网球，几乎涵盖任何可以运输的物品。）以及后文“The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore selling other stuff to a retailer that once sold mostly books.”（这位48岁的创始人已将他1994年创立的亚马逊正式转型，从一家销售其他商品的在线书店变成了一家曾主要销售书籍的零售商。）B项“That turning point might be Bezos’ greatest achievement.”中“That turning point”指代了现年48岁的Bezos正式改变了他于1994年创立的亚马逊，从一家在线书店向一家零售商转变。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer — the most important person in the room.”（Bezos经常在会议上留下一个空位，并通知所有与会者，他们应该考虑他们的客户所占的座位——房间里最重要的人）。G项“Amazon managers would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rules their lives. ”（亚马逊的高管们会告诉你：这张空椅子，是统治他们生活的人物的内部昵称）中the empty chair与前文leaves one seat open构成呼应关系，符合语境。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Amazon’s data shows that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity”（亚马逊数据显示，页面加载延迟0.1秒可以转化为客户活动减少1%）。D项“Even the tiniest delay in loading a webpage isn’t insignificant.”（甚至是加载网页的最小延迟也不是不重要的）中the tiniest delay与后文a 0.1 second delay相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.”（工程师可以自由地解决他们认为合适的技术挑战，只需要让它适合于消费者）C项“He set that target without getting trapped by technical issues. ”（他没有被技术问题所困扰就设定了目标）其中without getting trapped by technical issues.与前文solve technical challenges相呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Efficiency — cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics — is also an important part of the Amazon culture.”（效率在亚马逊批评者眼中是廉价，是亚马逊文化的重要组成部分。）以及后文“The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.”（他减少不必要的成本越多，越容易为消费者提供低价。）A项“In fact, Bezos links the two. ”（事实上，Bezos将这两者联系在一起）承接前后文效率与减少成本浪费，并强调Bezos的经营理念。符合语境。故选A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。 Holly Lillard, when going outside to wash the windows, ____41____ to find a lost cat named Tucker and closed a 600-mile gap to return him to his owner, Jamie McCall.

Manu an eight-year-old was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs, at the Khagal house. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school. “Manu, wake up! It’s school time!” shouted out Manu’s mother Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and ignored his mother’s repeated attempts to wake him up. “Manu! It’s already 6 o’clock and your school bus will be here by 7. So please wake up and get ready. Manu continued sleeping. Finally, after much pestering and pampering (纠缠和纵容), Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his house while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to his school bus. “Phew! Manu didn’t miss his bus today” Akhila sighed. She was really concerned about her son. Manu couldn’t do anything on time, waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. Akhila thought to herself “need to work out a plan to teach him a lesson in self-discipline (自律). Repeated advice and warnings haven’t changed him.” The next day it was the usual scene at the Khagal house except that there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was 7. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave. There was unusual confidence on Akhila’s face. Manu finally woke up at around 9 o’ clock. He ran down to the kitchen and cried out “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up? The school bus has already left and I am really late for school today.” He couldn’t stop crying. “I have a math test today and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test.” The calm face of Akhila made Manu feel more anxious. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mom, what should I do now? Please help!” said Manu weepingly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The scene the next day at the Khagal house was a little different. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Mom, what do I do now? Please help!” said Manu weepingly. Seeing that Manu had learnt the lesson, Akhila cleared her throat, “I can help you, but first tell me whether you have realized your problem.” At that, Manu’s face flamed with shame, his head lowered. He stammered, “Mom...I am wrong. I promise you will see a new Manu tomorrow.” Nodding with satisfaction/Seeing the regret in his eyes, Akhila told him she would send him to school and Mrs. Mangat would give him another chance to take the test. The scene the next day at the Khagal house was a little different. At 6, Akhila walked out of her room, only to find Manu packing his schoolbag! Everything ready, he went up to Akhila and took her hand, saying, “Mom, I will give the driver a surprise today.” Hearing the smile in his voice, Akhila nodded approvingly and kissed him on the forehead. That morning, no hurry, no pestering and pampering, no continuous honking. It was the first time that Manu had tasted the fruit of discipline. He would taste it every day!

I've appeared on lots of T, V shows with my brother's sam tana as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it's like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before sam, so i'm the older brother. Although we do have a real older brother, can, who's a year older than us, we were born premature. We suddenly appeared in october rather than january. Ken's birthday is in december, so we're pretty close in age. Sam and die aren't completely the same, but even our doubt makes mistakes sometimes because there's hardly any difference in our hair and with the same bills. But as soon as we open our mouth, he'll know which one is is in character. We're mostly similar. We've both always love music and we've always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us, say are not as confident as sam is, which is probably true. We are going to promote our new album, time dance next week, which is quite different from our first one soul brothers. We've pour our hearts into IT, and we'd be incredibly grateful for your support. Hi there. I'm tim tanner. I am honored to be here today.
