B Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina(推拿), or even foot massage (按摩) to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture(针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1, 000 young people have tried TCM. ATCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people were coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate(精确的) because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia(失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy(疗法) called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage (遗产) and see it as a treasure of our culture.” Jin says. 4 What changes have taken place in young people? A. They have stopped spending time in health clubs. B. They have begun to go to KTV and amusement parks. C. They depend more on western medicine for treatment. D. They spend more time joining in healthy activities. 5. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. Because they are effective treatments. B. Because they can stop bad lifestyles. C. Because they can help relieve stress. D. Because they are cheaper than others. 6. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show her medical skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise her for her kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM. 7. What do we know about TCM from the last paragraph? A. It is based on the Five Elements theory. B. It is common for young people to learn TCM. C. It can help people understand Chinese culture. D. It can help people stop sweating too much. C Scientists have known for a long time that the color of a room or the light in it can affect our feelings. Many prisons and hospitals have rooms that are painted pink, for pink has a calming effect. Then, what role does color play in the interaction with food? A new study has discovered for us the link between color and food cognition (认知). Professor Falfan and his team carried out this study by asking participants (参与者) to recognize food pictures in black and white. The result was in agreement with his former prediction (猜测). Although color is not a decisive factor, it has a clear influence on food recognition. Without color, people unsurprisingly made more mistakes and it’s easy to mistake different dishes as the same food. However, this increase in error rates does not change the accuracy (准确) of food recognition among different people. Those with a higher visual (视觉的) ability always did better. Then the researchers raised a new question: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic (挑食的) than those with normal color cognition? They gathered participants with color blindness and required them to fill in a questionnaire (问卷) that measures how resistant (抵制的) they are to new foods. The result suggested that colorblind people are indeed less likely to be food neophobic than non-colorblind people, because the limited colors that colorblind people can see reduce the signals that may raise freshness. safety or anxiety about new foods. So that is why color affects food cognition. The researchers believe that colorful foods tend to attract our visual attention more, thus improving our cognitive ability of food. Moreover, color may also be connected with the nutritional value of food. Although this has not been fully proved, brightly colored foods often give the impression (印象) of a healthier and more nutritious diet. Therefore, people tend to prefer meals with a range of colorful foods. 8. How did professor Falfan and his team carry out their research? A. By doing experiments and surveys. B. By studying data from other researches. C. By observing food in different colors. D. By interviewing some colorblind people. 9. According to the study, why are colorblind people less likely to be food neophobic? A. Recause they have a much higher visual ability. B. Because they have less interest in tasting foods. C. Because their attention is more attracted by food colors. D. Because their feelings are less influenced by food colors. 10. What is the reason for people preferring colorful foods? A. They remind them of good memories. B. They help reduce their negative feelings. C. They look healthier and more nutritious. D. They often have a better smell and taste. 11. What is the primary conclusion of the study? A. Color plays an important role in food cognition. B. Color has much influence on people’s feelings. C Color blindness makes people more food neophobic. D. Color is connected with the nutritional value of food. D Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the balance between these two things? Until now, that has not been completely measured. However, a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an answer, at least for U. S. history since 1940. The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost because of machine automation (自动化), and how many jobs have been created through augmentation (扩增), in which technology creates new chances and tasks. In this research, Autor and his workmates studied about 35,000 jobs, recording how they appear over time. That led them to find that technology has replaced more U. S. jobs than it has created, particularly since 1980. “Clearly, from 1980 to the present, there is a faster rate of automation and a slower rate of augmentation than in the former 40 years,” says Autor. From 1940 to 1980, for example, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter (排字工人) were getting automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers, department heads and industrial engineers. From 1980 to 2020, the number of machinists (机械工) dropped because of automation, while operations and systems researchers enjoyed growth. Finally, the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than twice as great in the 1980-2020 period as in the 1940-1980 period. There was a more positive change in the effect of augmentation on employment in 1980-2020 compared to 1940-1980. Automation and augmentation often happen within the same industries. Within the same large company, there may be fewer machinists but more systems researchers. “Technology is really making a difference,” Autor says. “It may substitute some expert knowledge or skills, but may add decision-making tasks. It takes a while to figure them out.” 12. What does Autor’s study focus on? A. The key to searching for a job. B. The solutions to taking up new tasks. C. The influence of new technology on jobs. D. The application of machines to industry. 13. How does the author prove his idea in paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By raising questions. C. By telling stories. D. By giving examples. 14. What does the underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Depend on. B. Take the place of. C. Take control of. D. Concentrate on. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Are Jobs More Challenging or More Friendly? B. Are New Technologies Job Killers or Creators? C. Which Is Better, Automation or Augmentation? D. Who Are More Efficient, Humans or Machines? 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People are spending like never before on their pets There is little, it seems that people won’t do for their pets. This is not limited to any particular country or region. ____16____ That is more than they spent on childcare. In this case, pet industry has become big business. Mars, a company best known for its chocolate bars for pets, made two-thirds of its income last year from pet-care. Besides owning the Royal Canin pet-food brand, the company also operates thousands of vet hospitals. At present, though facing higher prices and a cooling job market, pet owners have been unwilling to cut back on spending for their pets. Morgan Stanley, a bank, predicts pet spending in America will grow by 2.5% this year. The pet business proved similarly strong during the pandemic (疫情), as lonely people adopted (领养) animals and spent generously on them. ____17____. Behind that is a change in the relationship between pets and humans. ____18____ “Pets have gone from the backyard to the living room to the bedroom,” says LoYe Moutault, head of the pet division at Mars. For many, pets are considered family members, and this emotional connection drives spending decisions. ____19____ Younger owners are more likely to take their pets to the vet more often and to buy them more gifts. About 95% of Gen Z owners (born between 1995 and 2009), surveyed last year by the American Pet Products Association, said they bought their dog a gift at least once a year, compared with 81% of boomers (born between 1946 and 1965). ____20____ As pets continue to be seen as family members, it is expected that spending on them will remain high. A. There are differences in pet spending across age groups. B. Pet spending were greatly influenced during the pandemic. C. Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, not masters. D. This shows people’s lasting devotion to pet care, even in the face of hard times. E. Dogs, cats and other animals are lucky enough to be welcomed into such families. F. In America, pet spending reached $186 billion last year, covering everything from food to vet visits. G. The average cost of those gifts was about $44 among Gen Z owners while only $17 among boomers. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 When I was 15, I joined an exchange student program.

My marks in school were terrible and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My elder brother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the houses she cleaned - books. So she came back home one day after work, turned off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.” We moaned (抱怨) and said how unfair it was, because none of our friends did that. Besides, we don’t have any books in our home other than Mom’s Bible (圣经). But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.” So pretty soon there were these two boys in bad mood sitting in her old white car on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered unwillingly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started looking through them, and the first book I read was about wolves. 注意： 1.续写词数80左右;文章开头已给出，不计入总词数; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the first time in my life, I was lost in another world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACBAC 6-10 BCBCB 11-15 CAABB 16-20 ACBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年(上)期中质量监测 高一英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1.本试卷包括选择题和非选择题 两部分。考生答题全部答在答题纸上，答在本试卷上无效。本次考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。考试结束后，请将答题纸交监考老师。 2.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、座位号用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题纸的相应位置， 智学号与考试证号无需填写，请把条形码粘贴到答题卡相应位置。 3.答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题纸上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题纸上的指定位置，在其它位置答题一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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 What is the man asking the woman to do?

However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina(推拿), or even foot massage (按摩) to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture(针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1, 000 young people have tried TCM. ATCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people were coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate(精确的) because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia(失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy(疗法) called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage (遗产) and see it as a treasure of our culture.” Jin says. 4. What changes have taken place in young people? A. They have stopped spending time in health clubs. B. They have begun to go to KTV and amusement parks. C. They depend more on western medicine for treatment. D. They spend more time joining in healthy activities. 5. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. Because they are effective treatments. B. Because they can stop bad lifestyles. C. Because they can help relieve stress. D. Because they are cheaper than others. 6. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show her medical skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise her for her kindness. D To explain the progress of TCM. 7. What do we know about TCM from the last paragraph? A. It is based on the Five Elements theory. B. It is common for young people to learn TCM. C. It can help people understand Chinese culture. D. It can help people stop sweating too much. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在年轻人更喜欢中医。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). (然而，现在的年轻人把空闲时间花在健身俱乐部，或做按摩，甚至足底按摩，以体验中医（TCM）的疗法，如针灸。)”可知，现在年轻人花更多的时间参加健康类的活动。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. (当选择西医和中医时，年轻人更喜欢中医，因为它对他们的健康问题有很好的效果。)”可知，在Ma Huifang看来年轻人更喜欢中医是因为中医的疗效很好。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. (中医正在成为年轻人生活的重要组成部分。他们正在学习中医技巧来帮助自己和他人。)” 以及下文Jin Ying的例子可推断，作者写Jin Ying的例子是为了体现中医在年轻人当中的接受度。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage (遗产) and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says.(对她来说，学习中医是一种新生活方式、了解中国文化。金说：“中医帮助年轻人了解我们的民族遗产，并将其视为我们文化的瑰宝。”)”可知中医可以帮助人们了解中国文化。故选C项。 C Scientists have known for a long time that the color of a room or the light in it can affect our feelings. Many prisons and hospitals have rooms that are painted pink, for pink has a calming effect. Then, what role does color play in the interaction with food? A new study has discovered for us the link between color and food cognition (认知). Professor Falfan and his team carried out this study by asking participants (参与者) to recognize food pictures in black and white. The result was in agreement with his former prediction (猜测). Although color is not a decisive factor, it has a clear influence on food recognition. Without color, people unsurprisingly made more mistakes and it’s easy to mistake different dishes as the same food. However, this increase in error rates does not change the accuracy (准确) of food recognition among different people. Those with a higher visual (视觉的) ability always did better. Then the researchers raised a new question: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic (挑食的) than those with normal color cognition? They gathered participants with color blindness and required them to fill in a questionnaire (问卷) that measures how resistant (抵制的) they are to new foods. The result suggested that colorblind people are indeed less likely to be food neophobic than non-colorblind people, because the limited colors that colorblind people can see reduce the signals that may raise freshness. safety or anxiety about new foods. So that is why color affects food cognition. The researchers believe that colorful foods tend to attract our visual attention more, thus improving our cognitive ability of food. Moreover, color may also be connected with the nutritional value of food. Although this has not been fully proved, brightly colored foods often give the impression (印象) of a healthier and more nutritious diet. Therefore, people tend to prefer meals with a range of colorful foods. 8. How did professor Falfan and his team carry out their research? A. By doing experiments and surveys. B. By studying data from other researches. C. By observing food in different colors. D. By interviewing some colorblind people. 9. According to the study, why are colorblind people less likely to be food neophobic? A. Recause they have a much higher visual ability. B. Because they have less interest in tasting foods. C. Because their attention is more attracted by food colors. D. Because their feelings are less influenced by food colors. 10. What is the reason for people preferring colorful foods? A. They remind them of good memories. B. They help reduce their negative feelings. C. They look healthier and more nutritious. D. They often have a better smell and taste. 11. What is the primary conclusion of the study? A. Color plays an important role in food cognition. B. Color has much influence on people’s feelings. C. Color blindness makes people more food neophobic. D. Color is connected with the nutritional value of food. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现，颜色和食物认知之间存在着密切的联系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Professor Falfan and his team carried out this study by asking participants (参与者) to recognize food pictures in black and white.(Falfan教授和他的团队通过让参与者识别食品的黑白图片来进行这项研究。)”和第三段“Then the researchers raised a new question: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic (挑食的) than those with normal color cognition? They gathered participants with color blindness and required them to fill in a questionnaire (问卷) that measures how resistant (抵制的) they are to new foods.(然后，研究人员提出了一个新的问题：色盲患者是否比正常颜色认知的人更不挑食？他们征集了色盲参与者，并要求他们填写一份问卷，以衡量他们对新食物的抵制程度。)”可知，Falfan教授和其团队的研究是通过做实验以及调查人群来完成的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“The result suggested that colorblind people are indeed less likely to be food neophobic than non-colorblind people, because the limited colors that colorblind people can see reduce the signals that may raise freshness, safety or anxiety about new foods.(结果表明，与非色盲人群相比，色盲人群确实更不容易挑食，因为色盲人群能看到的有限颜色减少了可能提高新鲜度、安全性或对新食物焦虑感的信号。)”可知，色盲人群更不易挑食是因为颜色的缺失导致他们对食物的认知受影响的程度更低。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Although this has not been fully proved, brightly colored foods often give the impression (印象) of a healthier and more nutritious diet. Therefore, people tend to prefer meals with a range of colorful foods.(尽管这一点尚未得到充分证实，但色彩鲜艳的食物往往给人一种更健康、更有营养的饮食印象。因此，人们往往更喜欢吃各种五颜六色的食物。)”可知，人们喜欢色彩鲜艳的食物是因为它们会给人一种更健康、更有营养的印象，即看起来更健康、更有营养。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Then, what role does color play in the interaction with food? A new study has discovered for us the link between color and food cognition (认知).(那么，颜色在与食物的交互中起着什么作用呢？一项新的研究为我们发现了颜色与食物认知之间的联系)”及第二段中“Although color is not a decisive factor, it has a clear influence on food recognition.(尽管颜色不是决定性因素，但对于食物认知还是有着明确的影响)”可知，研究的结论是颜色对于食物认知有着明确的影响，与A选项“颜色在食物认知中扮演者重要角色”描述相符。故选A。 D Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the balance between these two things? Until now, that has not been completely measured. However, a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an answer, at least for U. S. history since 1940. The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost because of machine automation (自动化), and how many jobs have been created through augmentation (扩增), in which technology creates new chances and tasks. In this research, Autor and his workmates studied about 35,000 jobs, recording how they appear over time. That led them to find that technology has replaced more U. S. jobs than it has created, particularly since 1980. “Clearly, from 1980 to the present, there is a faster rate of automation and a slower rate of augmentation than in the former 40 years,” says Autor. From 1940 to 1980, for example, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter (排字工人) were getting automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers, department heads and industrial engineers. From 1980 to 2020, the number of machinists (机械工) dropped because of automation, while operations and systems researchers enjoyed growth. Finally, the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than twice as great in the 1980-2020 period as in the 1940-1980 period. There was a more positive change in the effect of augmentation on employment in 1980-2020 compared to 1940-1980. Automation and augmentation often happen within the same industries. Within the same large company, there may be fewer machinists but more systems researchers. “Technology is really making a difference,” Autor says. “It may substitute some expert knowledge or skills, but may add decision-making tasks. It takes a while to figure them out.” 12. What does Autor’s study focus on? A. The key to searching for a job. B. The solutions to taking up new tasks. C. The influence of new technology on jobs. D. The application of machines to industry. 13. How does the author prove his idea in paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By raising questions. C. By telling stories. D. By giving examples. 14. What does the underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Depend on. B. Take the place of. C. Take control of. D. Concentrate on. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Are Jobs More Challenging or More Friendly? B. Are New Technologies Job Killers or Creators? C. Which Is Better, Automation or Augmentation? D. Who Are More Efficient, Humans or Machines? 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了技术的发展对就业的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost because of machine automation (自动化), and how many jobs have been created through augmentation (扩增), in which technology creates new chances and tasks. (这项研究使用了新的方法来研究机器自动化导致了多少工作岗位的流失，以及技术创造了多少新的机会和任务，从而创造了多少工作岗位。)”可知，奥托的研究重点是新技术对就业的影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ ‘Clearly, from 1980 to the present, there is a faster rate of automation and a slower rate of augmentation than in the former 40 years,’ says Autor. From 1940 to 1980, for example, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter (排字工人) were getting automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers, department heads and industrial engineers. From 1980 to 2020, the number of machinists (机械工) dropped because of automation, while operations and systems researchers enjoyed growth. (很明显，从1980年到现在，与过去40年相比，自动化的速度更快，而人工智能的增长速度更慢，”奥托尔说。例如，从1940年到1980年，电梯操作员和排字工等工作正在实现自动化。但与此同时，更多的工人填补了运输和接收管理员、采购员、部门主管和工业工程师等职位。从1980年到2020年，由于自动化的发展，机械师的数量下降了，而操作和系统研究人员的数量却有所增加。)”可知，举出了从1940年到980年，电梯操作员和排字工等工作正在实现自动化的例子。可知，第三段作者通过举例子的方式。故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Automation and augmentation often happen within the same industries. Within the same large company, there may be fewer machinists but more systems researchers (自动化和增强通常发生在相同的行业中。在同一家大公司里，机械师可能更少，但系统研究人员可能更多)”以及画线词后“but may add decision-making tasks. (但可能会增加决策任务。)”可知，技术可能会增加决策任务，而前文提到的“substitute”与“增加决策任务”是转折关系，所以指的是“技术可能取代一些专家知识或者技能”，划线单词的意思应与“取代。意义相近。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the balance between these two things? Until now, that has not been completely measured. However, a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an answer, at least for U. S. history since 1940. (科技取代的工作比创造的工作多吗？这两者之间的平衡是什么？到目前为止，这一点还没有得到完全的衡量。然而，麻省理工学院（MIT）经济学家戴维•奥托尔（David Autor）领导的一项新研究项目给出了答案，至少是针对1940年以来的美国历史。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要说明的是技术的发展对就业的影响；讨论了新技术是否取代了更多的工作还是创造了更多的工作。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People are spending like never before on their pets There is little, it seems that people won’t do for their pets. This is not limited to any particular country or region. ____16____ That is more than they spent on childcare. In this case, pet industry has become big business. Mars, a company best known for its chocolate bars for pets, made two-thirds of its income last year from pet-care. Besides owning the Royal Canin pet-food brand, the company also operates thousands of vet hospitals. At present, though facing higher prices and a cooling job market, pet owners have been unwilling to cut back on spending for their pets. Morgan Stanley, a bank, predicts pet spending in America will grow by 2.5% this year. The pet business proved similarly strong during the pandemic (疫情), as lonely people adopted (领养) animals and spent generously on them. ____17____. Behind that is a change in the relationship between pets and humans. ____18____ “Pets have gone from the backyard to the living room to the bedroom,” says LoYe Moutault, head of the pet division at Mars. For many, pets are considered family members, and this emotional connection drives spending decisions. ____19____ Younger owners are more likely to take their pets to the vet more often and to buy them more gifts. About 95% of Gen Z owners (born between 1995 and 2009), surveyed last year by the American Pet Products Association, said they bought their dog a gift at least once a year, compared with 81% of boomers (born between 1946 and 1965). ____20____ As pets continue to be seen as family members, it is expected that spending on them will remain high. A. There are differences in pet spending across age groups. B. Pet spending were greatly influenced during the pandemic. C. Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, not masters. D. This shows people’s lasting devotion to pet care, even in the face of hard times. E. Dogs, cats and other animals are lucky enough to be welcomed into such families. F. In America, pet spending reached $186 billion last year, covering everything from food to vet visits. G. The average cost of those gifts was about $44 among Gen Z owners while only $17 among boomers. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们在宠物身上的消费呈现出前所未有的高水平这一现象。 【16题详解】 根据下文“That is more than they spent on childcare. (那比他们在儿童保育上的花费还要多。)”可知，空处应是提到了具体的花费金额，与F项“In America, pet spending reached $186 billion last year, covering everything from food to vet visits. (在美国，去年宠物支出达到1860亿美元，涵盖了从食品到兽医就诊的方方面面。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The pet business proved similarly strong during the pandemic (疫情), as lonely people adopted(领养) animals and spent generously on them. (疫情期间，宠物生意同样强劲，因为孤独的人们领养了动物，并在它们身上慷慨花费。)”可知，在疫情期间人们对宠物消费的态度没有变化，与D项“This shows people’s lasting devotion to pet care, even in the face of hard times. (这表明人们对宠物护理的持久热爱，即使在困难时期也是如此。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选D项。 18题详解】 根据下文“For many, pets are considered family members, and this emotional connection drives spending decisions. (对许多人来说，宠物被视为家庭成员，这种情感联系推动了消费决策。)”可知，人们与宠物的关系发生了变化，把宠物当作家庭成员，与C项“Owners increasingly see themselves as parents, not masters. (物主越来越多地将自己视为父母，而不是主人。)”上下文一致，体现了人们与宠物的关系的转变，符合文意，故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Younger owners are more likely to take their pets to the vet more often and to buy them more gifts. (年轻的主人更有可能更频繁地带他们的宠物去看兽医，并为它们购买更多的礼物。)”可知，不同年龄的人对与宠物消费的态度不同，与A项“There are differences in pet spending across age groups. (不同年龄段的宠物消费存在差异。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“About 95% of Gen Z owners (born between 1995 and 2009), surveyed last year by the American Pet Products Association, said they bought their dog a gift at least once a year, compared with 81% of boomers (born between 1946 and 1965). (美国宠物用品协会去年调查的Z世代主人（出生于1995年至2009年之间）中约有95%表示，他们每年至少给狗买一次礼物，而婴儿潮一代（出生于1946年至1965年之间）的这一比例为81%。)”，可知，两个群里给宠物买礼物的平均花费是不同的，与G项“In America, pet spending reached $186 billion last year, covering everything from food to vet visits. (在美国，去年宠物支出达到1860亿美元，涵盖了从食品到兽医就诊的方方面面。)”上下文一致，是对前文的进一步补充说明，符合文意，故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 When I was 15, I joined an exchange student program.

My marks in school were terrible and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My elder brother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the houses she cleaned - books. So she came back home one day after work, turned off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.” We moaned (抱怨) and said how unfair it was, because none of our friends did that. Besides, we don’t have any books in our home other than Mom’s Bible (圣经). But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.” So pretty soon there were these two boys in bad mood sitting in her old white car on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered unwillingly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started looking through them, and the first book I read was about wolves. 注意： 1.续写词数80左右;文章开头已给出，不计入总词数; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the first time in my life, I was lost in another world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】For the first time in my life, I was lost in another world. I couldn’t believe how fascinating these creatures are. My brother, too, found his passion in books. With much to share, writing reports was no longer a struggle. We would discuss our reports with enthusiasm, unaware that our life focus had switched from TV to books. Naturally, my marks went up and years later I entered a great university. Now looking back, I realized that Mom’s simple act of turning off the TV and opening the door to books wasn’t just about reading; it was also about lighting up dreams and shaping future. And for that, I am forever grateful. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了在作者和哥哥年幼时，妈妈强制关闭电视，引导儿女们走进阅读，爱上阅读，点燃梦想并塑造未来的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“这是我人生中第一次迷失在另一个世界。”可知，接下来可描写作者走进阅读所发生的故事与感悟。 2.续写线索：发现阅读有趣——积极写读后感——热情讨论观后感——爱上阅读——成绩提高，考入好大学——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.找到：find/discover/seek out/get a hold of/sniff out ②.讨论：discuss/talk over ③.意识到：realize/aware/know/sense/be aware of 情绪类 ①.热情：enthusiasm/passion ②.感激的：grateful/appreciative/thankful/obliged/indebted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
