For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.” However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly reduced in size over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon. According to NASA the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US. But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph. “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may become smaller, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us. The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said. 4. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to? A. It stays the same as before. B. It is becoming slightly smaller. C. It is getting older and older. D. It has passed away. 5. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph? A. Its quake measures seven on the Richter scale. B. It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding. C. It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding. D. It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years. 6. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon? A. It is a dead and boring place. B. It has lots of faults on the surface. C. It is valuable to do more science. D. It isn’t a place where we can live. 7. Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the article? A. “The Moon: A Static and Boring Place” B. “The Changing Moon: A New Discovery” C. “The Mysterious Moon: Faults and Quakes” D. “Exploring the Moon: Dangers and Opportunities” 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于月球的新发现——月球正在缓慢缩小。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly reduced in size over time.(然而，发表在《自然-地球科学》杂志上的一项新研究表明，月球实际上随着时间的推移在缓慢缩小。)”可知，作者同意的观点是月球正在变得稍微小一些。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down.(根据NASA的说法，月球是由带有炽热核心的岩石块组成的。月球在诞生时持续膨胀。但在这个过程中，它释放了能量并冷却下来。)”可知，月球有一个炽热的核心，并在膨胀过程中释放能量。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that.(我们去过月球，做过一些伟大的科学研究，但我们还有很多不知道的地方。月球正在缩小——直到最近我们才真正意识到这一点。它比我们想象的要活跃和有趣得多，我们应该去探索它)”可知，Nathan Williams认为月球是一个比我们想象的要活跃和有趣得多的地方，并且值得我们去探索。这表明他认为在月球上做更多的科学研究是有价值的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段中“However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly reduced in size over time.(然而，发表在《自然地球科学》杂志上的一项新研究表明，月球实际上是在随着时间的推移而缓慢缩小的)”和最后一段中“ The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently.(月球正在缩小——直到最近我们才真正意识到这一点)”可知，文章主要介绍了关于月球的一个新发现，即月球正在缩小，并探讨了这一发现对月球探索的意义。因此，选项B“The Changing Moon: A New Discovery(变化的月球：一个新发现)最能概括文章的主旨，是合适的标题。故选B。 （C） Dear Editor (编辑) Buddy, On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off the woods. They are there every morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed (牲口棚) on the farm, but it doesn’t seem that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated (对待) like that. Sam Dear Sam, Thanks for taking an interest in those horses. The care of horses is different from that of cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding food and shelter (遮蔽) on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as other farm animals. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t need shelter. It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for those horses is unacceptable. Do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night. If direct contact (联系) is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911 and report it. If you just can’t see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego County Humane Society at 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem. Speaking of volunteers, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for yourself? The project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help. Buddy 8. Sam writes to Editor Buddy in order to________. A. ask how to keep horses outdoors B. discuss if those horses are badly treated C. report several wild horses he has seen D. show his strong interest in keeping horses 9. According to Editor Buddy, horses ________. A. need less shelter than other farm animals B. know the changes in the weather C. like finding food by themselves D. prefer living indoors 10. What does Editor Buddy advise Sam to do first? A. To call 911. B. To turn to the LAAP for help. C. To contact the horses’ owners directly. D. To call the Oswego County Humane Society. 11. In the last paragraph of the second letter, Editor Buddy_______. A. advises Sam to change his job B. encourages Sam to join the LAAP C. praises Sam for his good behavior D. explains the importance of the LAAP 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】是两封信，一封是萨姆写给编辑关于看见马是否被虐待的问题的探讨，第二封是编辑回信给萨姆的一些意见。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一封信中的“There is a shed (牲口棚) on the farm, but it doesn’t seem that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated (对待) like that.”（农场上有一个马棚，但似乎从来没有把马带进棚里。这对吗？我认为马不应该受到那样的待遇。），可知萨姆认为不让马进马棚是不对的，主要是讨论那些马是否受到虐待的问题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第二封信第一段中的“Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding food and shelter (遮蔽) on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as other farm animals.”（想想那些一辈子都在户外独自寻找食物和庇护所的野马。关键是马不像其他农场动物需要那么多的庇护。），可知据编辑巴迪所说，与其他牲畜相比，马匹需要的庇护更少。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由第二封信第二段中的“Do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night. If direct contact (联系) is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911 and report it.”（你认识那些养马的人吗？能和他们聊聊天吗？也许他们会告诉你，马在晚上会进马棚。如果不能直接联系，你看到马的情况很差，那么打911报警。），可知编辑巴迪建议萨姆首先直接联系马的主人，不行的状况下，再打911。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由第二封信最后一段“Speaking of volunteers, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for yourself? The project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help.”（说到志愿者，既然你看起来是个爱马的人，为什么不跟LAAP谈谈你自己当志愿者的机会呢？这个项目总是需要懂马的人来帮忙。），可知编辑巴迪鼓励萨姆加入LAAP当志愿者。故选B项。 （D） Robotics has been a rapidly evolving field in recent years. Only in the past decade have scientists truly begun to understand the potential of robots in various aspects of our lives. They provide a new viewpoint on how technology can assist humans and bring up an old debate: whether robots will replace humans in the workplace or whether they will work alongside us in a cooperative way. The current fascination with robotics originates from the creative work of a team of researchers at a leading technology institute. When Dr. Smith joined the institute to work on artificial intelligence, he was also involved in robotics projects. But he noticed something interesting: different industries had different expectations from robots. Dr. Smith had been trained in traditional robotic programming, where each command represented a specific action. At the time, many people thought robotics was just a tool for repetitive tasks. But Dr. Smith believed that robots could be much more. He wondered: Could robots actually have the ability to adapt and learn like humans? And could they change the way we work and live? It was 2020. Dr. Smith’s idea was considered revolutionary. Now, a few years later, Dr. Smith is presenting his research at a conference and explaining how he is pushing the boundaries of robotics. For a long time, many people feared that robots would take away jobs. They thought technology must be controlled to protect human employment. But Dr. Smith argues that robots are not a threat but an opportunity. Robots are based on algorithms and data, the manipulation of information. “What I say,” Dr. Smith explains, “is that robotics is not about replacing humans— it’s about strengthening our abilities.” 12. The present growing interest in robotics was caused by ______. A. researchers at a technology institute. B. leading experts in the study of economics. C. famous scholars in the study of sociology. D. some senior experts in artificial intelligence. 13. The underlined word “repetitive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. boring and unvaried. B. creative and original. C. important and essential. D. complex and challenging. 14. Dr. Smith’s argument is based on his belief that ______. A. robotics comes from advanced programming. B. robotics is as useful as any other technology. C. technology is a system of meaningful tools. D. robotics is a product of human creation. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The threat of robots to human employment. B. Dr. Smith’s research on artificial intelligence. C. The history of robotics and its future prospects. D. The development of a leading technology institute. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人技术的发展历程、现状以及未来前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The current fascination with robotics originates from the creative work of a team of researchers at a leading technology institute.(当前对机器人学的迷恋源于一所领先技术研究所的研究团队的创造性工作。)”可知，当前对机器人学的兴趣增长是由技术研究所的研究团队引发的。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Dr. Smith had been trained in traditional robotic programming, where each command represented a specific action.(Smith博士接受过传统机器人编程的培训，在这种编程中，每条指令都代表一个具体的动作。)”和下文“But Dr. Smith believed that robots could be much more.(但Smith博士相信，机器人能够做到的远不止这些。)”可知，当时，许多人认为机器人学只是用于重复性任务的工具。由此可知，“repetitive”在此处应指“单调的、重复的”，与A选项“boring and unvaried”意思相符。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Dr. Smith argues that robots are not a threat but an opportunity. ... “What I say,” Dr. Smith explains, “is that robotics is not about replacing humans— it’s about strengthening our abilities.”(但Smith博士认为，机器人不是威胁，而是机会。……“我要说的是，”Smith博士解释说，“机器人学不是关于取代人类——它是关于增强我们的能力。)”可知，根据Smith博士的观点，机器人学是为了增强人类能力，而非取代人类。这表明他认为机器人是人类创造的产物，用于辅助和增强人类。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Robotics has been a rapidly evolving field in recent years. Only in the past decade have scientists truly begun to understand the potential of robots in various aspects of our lives.(机器人技术是近年来发展迅速的一个领域。直到过去十年，科学家们才真正开始理解机器人在我们生活的各个方面所具有的潜力。)”和文章接下来介绍了Smith博士对机器人技术的研究以及他认为机器人不是威胁而是机会，可以推断出本文的主旨是机器人技术的历史及其未来前景。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面材料，从材料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。 The black box is used to record all the activities of a plane during its flight. There are generally two black boxes in a plane. One is at the front and the other on the back of an airplane. The black box is made of titanium metal (钛金属). ____16____ The titanium box gives it the strength to stand any shock if it falls in the sea or falls from the height. Earlier the box was red in color, so it was called “red egg”. The walls inside the box were black in color, so it came to be known as “black box”. ____17____ One is flight data recorder.

He is willing to help the young who want to pursue their dreams. We were always curious about the reason behind and one day he told us his story. When Monty was young, he was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, his high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing the goal of owning a horse ranch some day. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the tracks. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class." The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud (马群) fees. There's no way you could ever do it." Then the teacher added, "If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade." 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。 The boy went home and thought about it long and hard _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, the teacher brought 30 students to camp out on a ranch for a week. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. Having noticed the slight difference on Monty, his father accompanied the little boy without any word until he asked in a low voice, "Dad, have you ever changed your dream?" Noticing the confusion on the young face, his father said without the least hesitation, "Never, it is my treasure." It suddenly dawned on him that compared with getting F for the paper, he would be more painful if he chose to give up on his dreams. Making up his mind, he took his paper, and headed for the teacher. With determined eyes, Monty said, "I am sorry, teacher. I'd like to keep my dream." Twenty years later, the teacher brought 30 students to camp out on a ranch for a week. Learning Monty was the rancher, she was numb with astonishment. Wearing obvious guilt, she said to him, "Sorry for what I said at that time." Monty returned her with a smile. "Actually, I should thank you for letting me know what my dream meant to me." When the tour was about to end, the teacher called the students together and said in an emotional voice, "Kids, remember, be brave to pursue your dreams regardless of the realistic conditions." When she finished the words, claps came from behind. It was from Monty. And soon, the students joined him. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Monty Roberts上高中时，有一次老师让写一篇关于自己的梦想的论文，Monty Roberts在文中描述了他想拥有一个大的牧场。结果交上论文后，老师给了他一个不及格，老师让他重写一个符合实际的梦想的论文。多年后，Monty Roberts真的实现了自己的梦想，当老师带着学生去他的牧场露营时，老师为自己当年的行为道了歉，鼓励学生应该追求自己的梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“男孩回到家，反复思量了很久。”可知，第一段可描写男孩考虑了一个星期后，没有作任何修改交给了老师。 ②由第二段首句内容“二十年后，这位老师带了30名学生到一个农场露营一周。”可知，第二段可描写老师在得知Monty真的实现了自己的梦想后的反应，她向Monty道了歉，告诉学生要勇敢追求自己的梦想。 2.续写线索：被老师否定——寻求父亲建议——梦想实现——重遇老师——老师道歉——老师鼓励学生追求梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 决定：make up your own mind/make your decision/decide 走向：head for/ make for 追求：pursue / follow 情绪类 惊讶：astonishment /be surprised 现实：realistic / practical 【点睛】[高分句型1] Making up his mind, he took his paper, and headed for the teacher.

For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.” However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly reduced in size over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon. According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US. But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not reported The Telegraph. “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may become smaller, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us. The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said. 4. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to? A. It stays the same as before. B. It is becoming slightly smaller. C. It is getting older and older. D. It has passed away. 5. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph? A. Its quake measures seven on the Richter scale. B. It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding. C. It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding. D. It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years. 6. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon? A. It is a dead and boring place. B. It has lots of faults on the surface. C. It is valuable to do more science. D. It isn’t a place where we can live. 7. Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the article? A. “The Moon: A Static and Boring Place” B. “The Changing Moon: A New Discovery” C. “The Mysterious Moon: Faults and Quakes” D. “Exploring the Moon: Dangers and Opportunities” （C） Dear Editor (编辑) Buddy, On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off the woods. They are there every morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed (牲口棚) on the farm, but it doesn’t seem that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated (对待) like that. Sam Dear Sam, Thanks for taking an interest in those horses. The care of horses is different from that of cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding food and shelter (遮蔽) on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as other farm animals. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t need shelter. It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for those horses is unacceptable. Do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night. If direct contact (联系) is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911 and report it. If you just can’t see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego County Humane Society at 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem. Speaking of volunteers, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for yourself? The project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help. Buddy 8. Sam writes to Editor Buddy in order to________. A. ask how to keep horses outdoors B. discuss if those horses are badly treated C. report several wild horses he has seen D. show his strong interest in keeping horses 9. According to Editor Buddy, horses ________. A. need less shelter than other farm animals B. know the changes in the weather C. like finding food by themselves D. prefer living indoors 10 What does Editor Buddy advise Sam to do first? A. To call 911. B. To turn to the LAAP for help. C. To contact the horses’ owners directly. D. To call the Oswego County Humane Society. 11. In the last paragraph of the second letter, Editor Buddy_______. A. advises Sam to change his job B. encourages Sam to join the LAAP C. praises Sam for his good behavior D. explains the importance of the LAAP （D） Robotics has been a rapidly evolving field in recent years. Only in the past decade have scientists truly begun to understand the potential of robots in various aspects of our lives. They provide a new viewpoint on how technology can assist humans and bring up an old debate: whether robots will replace humans in the workplace or whether they will work alongside us in a cooperative way. The current fascination with robotics originates from the creative work of a team of researchers at a leading technology institute. When Dr. Smith joined the institute to work on artificial intelligence, he was also involved in robotics projects. But he noticed something interesting: different industries had different expectations from robots. Dr. Smith had been trained in traditional robotic programming, where each command represented a specific action. At the time, many people thought robotics was just a tool for repetitive tasks. But Dr. Smith believed that robots could be much more. He wondered: Could robots actually have the ability to adapt and learn like humans? And could they change the way we work and live? It was 2020. Dr. Smith’s idea was considered revolutionary. Now, a few years later, Dr. Smith is presenting his research at a conference and explaining how he is pushing the boundaries of robotics. For a long time, many people feared that robots would take away jobs. They thought technology must be controlled to protect human employment. But Dr. Smith argues that robots are not a threat but an opportunity.

He is willing to help the young who want to pursue their dreams. We were always curious about the reason behind and one day he told us his story. When Monty was young he was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, his high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing the goal of owning a horse ranch some day. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the tracks. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class." The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud (马群) fees. There's no way you could ever do it." Then the teacher added, "If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade." 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。 The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, the teacher brought 30 students to camp out on a ranch for a week. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
