I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine. If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on. So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong. Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come? I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason. I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile. 4. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. adjusted B. reserved C. abandoned D. tidied 5. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up? A. To learn how to categorize. B. To improve his tidying skills. C. To persuade his family members. D. To develop passion for minimalism. 6. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism? A. They don’t understand it. B. They completely support it. C. They are strongly opposed to it. D. They are less passionate about it. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. Knowing when to let go B. Classifying what you love C. Throwing worn-out clothes D. Keeping valuable possessions 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文中作者喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但家人并不支持他，为了提高整理技巧，作者去读了《改变生活的整理魔法》。在整理满地的衣服时，作者发现了难以舍弃的夹克衫，又把它放在了“保留”堆里。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. ”（说实话，我自己的整理技能并没有我想要的那么好。我的“discarded”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我为东西为什么有用找借口）可知，爱整理的作者，整理出来要扔弃的不是自己想要的垃圾山。故划线词意思是丢弃，近义词是abandoned。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I want to be better at moving on.”(我想更好地继续前进)以及第三段“So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love.”（所以，这次我找到了帮助——为像我这样人准备的经典书籍:近藤麻理惠的《改变生活的整理魔法》。近藤对她的技艺的投入是惊人的。她的哲学是只保留自己喜欢的东西）可知，提高他的整理技巧是驱使作者去读《改变生活的整理魔法》。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – ‘Do We Need It?’ and ‘Put It in Its Place’– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine. ”（我喜欢扔掉东西。我喜欢完全极简主义风格，但我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子不喜欢我那种几乎什么都没有的房子的梦想。我已经试过了。当孩子们还小的时候，我教他们我最喜欢的两个游戏——“我们需要它吗?”和《放回原处》——每隔几个月就让他们演奏一次。他们的热情永远比不上我）可知，家人们对极简主义不那么有激情。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据最后一段“I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.”（我相信向前看，而不是向后看。然而，有时候放手是很难的。所以我轻轻地把夹克放在“保留”那一堆）可知，作者一直坚持极简主义风格，但是在整理过程中也遇到了难以取舍的物品，所以本文围绕着“在收纳过程中知道什么时候放手”的主题展开。“知道什么时候放手”适合做最佳标题。故选A。 C People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter(非处方的)medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗)like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet, here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures you of it. So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit. It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet we are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的)drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough. The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒)A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C until 2006.All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C. “This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,” study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Scienc Daily. Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected,different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work. 8. Which of the following is NOT the way people usually deal with a common cold? A. Eating chicken soup. B. Taking aspirin. C. Taking exercise. D. Drinking herbal tea. 9. What are antiviral drugs supposed to do? A. To fit and lock into the cold virus. B. To exactly copy the cold viruses. C. To prevent colds from developing into serious diseases. D. To absorb different kinds of cold viruses at the same time. 10. What do scientists still need to find out? A. Why drugs for treating a common cold sometimes fail. B. Why the surfaces of different viruses are different. C. How to build a detailed 3D model of rhinovirus C. D. How we can effectively fight against rhinovirus C. 11. What does the author think of the usual remedies to treat a common cold? A. Effective. B. Fruitless. C. Expensive. D. Worthwhile. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了目前没有真正能治愈普通感冒的事实，解释了其科学原因，并且介绍了一种可能真正治愈普通感冒的模型。也许，人们很快就会有治愈感冒的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies like herbal tea or chicken soup.(人们对普通感冒有不同的治疗方法。一些人服用阿司匹林等非处方药物，另一些人则尝试草药茶或鸡汤等流行的家庭疗法)”可知，人们会通过服用阿司匹林等非处方药物以及草药茶或鸡汤等来治疗感冒，结合选项，并不包括锻炼。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.(它们通过附着和改变病毒的表面结构来攻击病毒。要做到这一点，药物必须像拼图一样适合并锁定在病毒中，这意味着科学家必须识别病毒，并建立一个3D模型来研究其表面，然后才能设计出足够有效的抗病毒药物)”可知，抗病毒药物应该像拼图一样适合并锁定在病毒中。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.(科学家们早就知道的两种感冒病毒是鼻病毒A和鼻病毒b。但直到2006年，他们才发现第三种病毒——鼻病毒C的存在。这三种病毒都会导致普通感冒，但对鼻病毒A和B有效的药物对鼻病毒C几乎没有效果)”以及倒数第二段“Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected,different from that of other cold viruses.(现在，在发现鼻病毒C 10多年后，科学家终于建立了该病毒的高度详细的3D模型，显示该病毒的表面，如预期的那样，不同于其他感冒病毒)”可推知，现在科学家已经建立了病毒C的高度详细的3D模型，接下来就是要找到对抗鼻病毒C有效药物。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(有了这个模型，治愈普通感冒的真正方法有望问世。很快，我们就不必再把钱浪费在那些根本不起作用的药物上了)”可推知，作者认为治疗普通感冒的常用疗法是没有意义的。故选B项。 D An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising—though still limited—accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a study. Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures, researchers report on August 25 at arXiv.org. Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to implant electrodes. This new approach “could provide a practical path to help patients without the use of invasive methods,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher in Paris. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The tool, also known as a language model, learned how to recognize specific features of language. With the help of a computational method, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match the speech sounds from the story recordings to patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. The correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses up to 73 percent of the time, the researchers found. The new study is “decoding of speech perception, not production,” King notes. Though speech production is the ultimate goal, for now, “we’re quite a long way away.” 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The principle of human brain activity. B The limitation of human brain activity. C. The definition of the artificial intelligence. D. The new function of the artificial intelligence. 13. Whom might the AI be beneficial to? A. People unable to hear. B. People who can’t move around. C. People who are unconscious. D. People unable to communicate normally. 14. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To analyze the features of the study. B. To state the significance of the study. C. To introduce the process of the study. D. To present the achievement of the study. 15. What can we infer about the AI from the passage? A. It performs well in the speech production. B. Its accuracy is far from the researchs’ satisfaction. C. It will help patients avoid dangerous brain surgeries. D. Its language learning ability is beyond expectation. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能的新用途——可以从大脑活动中解码单词和句子，这可以用于帮助全世界数以千计无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising—though still limited—accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a study.(人工智能可以从大脑活动中解码单词和句子，其准确性令人惊讶（尽管仍然有限）。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据，人工智能就能猜出一个人听到了什么。研究人员在一项研究中发现，正确答案出现在前10种可能性中的概率高达73% 。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了人工智能可以从大脑活动中解码单词和句子，这是人工智能的一项新功能，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures, researchers report August 25 at arXiv.org.(8月25日，研究人员在 arXiv.org 上作的报告称，这种人工智能由脸书的母公司Meta开发，最终可用于帮助全世界数以千计无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。)”可知，人工智能或许对不能正常交流的人有益，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“King and his colleagues trained a computational tool to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages...With the help of a computational method, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match the speech sounds from the story recordings to patterns of brain activity...(King 和他的同事们训练了一个计算工具来检测来自53种语言的56000小时的语音记录中的单词和句子……在计算方法的帮助下，研究小组试图用每个人三秒钟的大脑活动数据解码参与者所听到的内容。研究小组指示人工智能将故事录音中的语音与大脑活动模式进行匹配……)”可推知，第四段的目的是介绍该研究的过程，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to implant electrodes. This new approach “could provide a practical path to help patients without the use of invasive methods,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher in Paris.(大多数现有的技术，以帮助这些病人沟通需要危险的脑部手术植入电极。这种新方法“可以提供一种实用的途径来帮助病人而不需要使用侵入性的方法，”神经科学家 Jean-Rémi King说，他是巴黎的Meta AI研究员。)”可推知，人工智能技术不需要给病人脑部做手术植入电极，所以说它能帮助病人避免危险的脑部手术。故选C。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a way to connect the mind, body and spirit, now, yoga is practiced or celebrated all over the world by adults and teens. ____16____ How can yoga actually benefit children in the long run?

Cheng said she was ___38___ (true) touched by the ceremony ___39___ (hold) in the heart of the capital and the nation’s political center, which ___40___ (watch) by countless people from China and elsewhere over the years. The flag-raising is considered by many Chinese to be ___41___ event they must attend at least once in their lifetime, especially since the number of honor guards was greatly increased and additional ceremony was introduced ___42___ the occasion on May 1, 1991. “This daily event sends a powerful signal that a strong nation is always behind its people. In addition to ___43___ (feel) proud of China, I felt a strong sense of ___44___ (secure) while watching the ceremony,” Cheng said. According to the white paper Youth of China in the New Era released by the State Council Information Office in April, ____45____ young Chinese sometimes experience conflicting ideas, they always love the country sincerely and continue to pursue lofty values and ideals. 【答案】36. posted##had posted 37. which 38. truly 39. held 40. has been watched 41. an 42. to 43. feeling 44. security 45. although##though##while 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了21岁的学生程怡婷在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，视频中人们在北京天安门广场冲刺以确保可以在前排观看升旗仪式，很快这段视频就在网络上走红了。这一视频的走红也表明，尽管中国年轻人有时会遇到思想冲突，但他们始终真诚地热爱国家，并继续追求崇高的价值观和理想。 【36题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：21岁的程怡婷是一名学生，她在社交媒体上发布了一段人们在北京天安门广场冲刺以确保前排观看升旗仪式的视频，对于这段视频的走红她并不惊讶。分析句子结构可知，“she 　1　(post) on social media”是定语从句，post(发布)是谓语动词；结合句意，“发布视频”可理解为过去发生的事情，可用一般过去时态posted，也可以理解为“发布视频”这一动作发生在“视频走红”这一动作之前，也就是“过去的过去”，可用过去完成时态had posted。故填posted或had posted。 【37题详解】 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：她说：“每个人都想在前排观看仪式，看到太阳升起时国旗也升起时，这让中国人感到自豪。”分析句子结构可知，空格后是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰“the national flag being raised as the sun comes up”这一动作，关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which来引导。故填which。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：程说，多年来，无数来自中国和其他地方的人观看了在首都中心和国家政治中心举行的仪式，她真的被感动了。分析句子结构可知，空格后面是动词touched，修饰动词应用副词，所以空格处应填truly。故填truly。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：程说，多年来，无数来自中国和其他地方的人观看了在首都中心和国家政治中心举行的仪式，她真的被感动了。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用非谓语动词；动词hold与逻辑主语the ceremony之间是被动关系，所以空格处应用动词的过去分词形式，做后置定语。故填held。 【40题详解】 考查动词的语态、时态和主谓一致。句意：程说，多年来，无数来自中国和其他地方的人观看了在首都中心和国家政治中心举行的仪式，她真的被感动了。分析句子结构可知，空格处是由which引导的非限制性定语从句，用来修饰which前的内容；which在从句中充当主语，指代前面的the ceremony，结合后面的by countless people from China and elsewhere可知，空格处的动词与逻辑主语the ceremony之间是被动关系，所以空格处的动词应用被动语态；由over the years可知，空格处的动词应用现在完成时；主语the ceremony是第三人称单数形式，故空格处的动词也应用三单形式。因此，空格处的watch应用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been watched。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：许多中国人认为，升旗是他们一生中至少必须参加一次的活动。分析句子结构可知，空格后面是名词，在此处表示泛指，前面要加不定冠词a/an；event是以元音音素开头的单词，所以前面要用an来修饰。故填an。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：特别是因为仪仗队的数量大大增加，并在1991年5月1日引入了额外的仪式。分析句子结构可知，此处讲的是在1991年5月1日引入了额外的仪式，be introduced to意为“引入”，是固定搭配。故填to。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：程说：“除了为中国感到自豪，我在观看仪式时也感到了强烈的安全感。”分析句子结构可知，固定短语in addition to“除了……之外”中的to是介词，后面应该跟动词-ing形式。故填feeling。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：程说：“除了为中国感到自豪，我在观看仪式时也感到了强烈的安全感。”分析句子结构可知，空格前有固定短语a strong sense of“一种强烈的感觉”，of是介词，所以空格处应用名词形式security，a strong sense of security意为“强烈的安全感”。故填security。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：根据国务院新闻办公室4月份发布的《新时代中国的青春》白皮书，尽管中国年轻人有时会遇到思想冲突，但他们始终真诚地热爱国家，继续追求崇高的价值观和理想。根据句意和分析句子结构可知，空格处所在是从句，后面的“they always love the country sincerely and continue to pursue lofty values and ideals.”是主句；由于从句和主句的前后意思相反，所以空格处应填一个表示转折的连词来引导让步状语从句。故填although或though或while。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是学生会主席李华，你校将开展每天体育锻炼一小时的活动。请你代表学生会写一封英文倡议书，号召同学们积极参加体育锻炼。内容包括： 1. 体育锻炼的重要性。 2. 学校提供的体育锻炼方式。 3. 发出倡议。 注意：1. 词数80左右 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, Aimed at building up our body, a campaign of one hour of physical exercise a day will be launched in our school, which can be extremely beneficial to our health.

He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm (一大群) of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and they seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding with great speed but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to lie in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.” On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson’s home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson’s house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. But he tried his best to keep calm so that he could come up with an idea to escape from the dangerous situation. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam which was often used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. 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。 Without hesitation, Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In no time, his mother appeared in front of him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Without hesitation, Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson happened to be home and seeing the tired and wet boy, the owner took him inside. After knowing what Andy had experienced, he praised the boy and rang his mother. In no time, his mother appeared in front of him. Seeing Andy, his mother anxiously asked whether he was injured. Andy answered it was the dam that saved him. His mother laughed with relief and said he really needed that fishing break to help him recover. But Andy did not hear her. He was thinking his father’s words “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic.” And he realized how important it was to listen to parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者在上学的路上遇到蜜蜂袭击，在这种紧急状况下，作者想起了父亲的话“当你在一个紧张的情况下，不要恐慌，动动脑筋，想办法解决问题。”，最终作者成功脱险的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“安迪毫不犹豫地跳下自行车，跳入清凉的水中。”可知，第一段可描写作者通过水坝避开了蜜蜂。 ②由第二段首句内容“不一会儿，他的妈妈出现在他面前。”可知，第二段可描写母亲对作者的安慰以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：找到避险地点——避险——避险成功——给母亲讲述过程——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 努力：struggle/strive 表扬：praise/admiration/commendation 认识到：realize/understand/comprehend 情绪类 焦急地：anxiously/restlessly/uneasily 如释重负：relief/release/liberation 【点睛】[高分句型1]After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone.(as long as引导的状语从句) [高分句型2]Seeing Andy, his mother anxiously asked whether he was injured.(whether引导的宾语从句) 听力 1—5 BBACA 6—10 CBABC 11—15 ACAAC 16—20 BBCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度上学期联考期中考试 高二英语试卷 考试时间120分钟，满分150分 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必在答题卡上将自己的姓名、座位号和准考证号用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，考生考试条形码由监考老师粘贴在答题卡上的“贴条形码区”。 2.选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡上对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后再填涂其它答案；非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔在答题卡的对应区域内作答，超出答题区域答题的答案无效；在草稿纸上、试卷上答题无效。 3.考试结束后由监考老师将答题卡收回。 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。 1.

I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine. If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on. So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong. Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come? I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason. I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile. 4. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. adjusted B. reserved C. abandoned D. tidied 5. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up? A. To learn how to categorize. B. To improve his tidying skills. C. To persuade his family members. D. To develop passion for minimalism. 6. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism? A. They don’t understand it. B. They completely support it. C. They are strongly opposed to it. D. They are less passionate about it. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. Knowing when to let go B. Classifying what you love C. Throwing worn-out clothes D. Keeping valuable possessions C People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter(非处方的)medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗)like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet, here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures you of it. So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit. It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet we are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的)drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough. The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒)A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C until 2006.All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C. “This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,” study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Scienc Daily. Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected,different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work. 8. Which of the following is NOT the way people usually deal with a common cold? A. Eating chicken soup. B. Taking aspirin. C. Taking exercise. D. Drinking herbal tea. 9. What are antiviral drugs supposed to do? A. To fit and lock into the cold virus. B. To exactly copy the cold viruses. C. To prevent colds from developing into serious diseases. D. To absorb different kinds of cold viruses at the same time. 10. What do scientists still need to find out? A. Why drugs for treating a common cold sometimes fail. B. Why the surfaces of different viruses are different. C. How to build a detailed 3D model of rhinovirus C. D. How we can effectively fight against rhinovirus C. 11. What does the author think of the usual remedies to treat a common cold? A. Effective. B. Fruitless. C. Expensive. D. Worthwhile. D An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising—though still limited—accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a study. Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures, researchers report on August 25 at arXiv.org. Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to implant electrodes. This new approach “could provide a practical path to help patients without the use of invasive methods,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher in Paris. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The tool, also known as a language model, learned how to recognize specific features of language. With the help of a computational method, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match the speech sounds from the story recordings to patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. The correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses up to 73 percent of the time, the researchers found. The new study is “decoding of speech perception, not production,” King notes. Though speech production is the ultimate goal, for now, “we’re quite a long way away.” 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The principle of human brain activity. B. The limitation of human brain activity. C. The definition of the artificial intelligence. D. The new function of the artificial intelligence. 13. Whom might the AI be beneficial to? A. People unable to hear. B. People who can’t move around. C. People who are unconscious. D. People unable to communicate normally. 14. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To analyze the features of the study. B. To state the significance of the study. C. To introduce the process of the study. D. To present the achievement of the study. 15. What can we infer about the AI from the passage? A. It performs well in the speech production. B. Its accuracy is far from the researchs’ satisfaction. C. It will help patients avoid dangerous brain surgeries. D. Its language learning ability is beyond expectation. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a way to connect the mind, body and spirit, now, yoga is practiced or celebrated all over the world by adults and teens. ____16____ How can yoga actually benefit children in the long run?

He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm (一大群) of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and they seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding with great speed but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to lie in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.” On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson’s home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson’s house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. But he tried his best to keep calm so that he could come up with an idea to escape from the dangerous situation. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam which was often used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. 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。 Without hesitation, Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In no time, his mother appeared in front of him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BBACA 6—10 CBABC 11—15 ACAAC 16—20 BBCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
