How lucky we were to have nutritious food, even if we had to learn to like it. According to the Houston Health Dement, for nearly one quarter of children living in Houston, Texas, the choice to eat healthily doesn’t exist. They are unable to obtain fresh produce, relying entirely on canned and packaged goods. A lack of fresh meat and produce in your diet can lead to increases in depression and obesity and greater risks of heart disease and cancer. A poor diet is also tied to poor performance in school for young children. Annie Zhu was shocked to find out so many children in Houston lived in food deserts. She was also shocked to see how much fresh food supermarkets throw away every day. So she and her twin sister Shirley went to work. First, they partnered with the Houston Health Department to distribute food at community centers. With the help of a food rescue organization Second Servings, they collected surplus (过剩) food from grocery stores and began organizing monthly markets. They even connected with human service agencies to provide help beyond food. Lastly, since fresh food needs to be picked up right away, they developed a text-messaging app Fresh Hub, which tells people when and where the markets are. Each month, Fresh Hub organizes high school students who wear green shirts and go to set up stands of fresh produce, baked goods and packaged meats. The Zhu sisters and the green dream team have distributed over 1,500 pounds of food. At the end of the day, Annie says they are happy to be making a difference. “Frustration over the unfair circumstances built into society led us to meet incredible people,” says Annie. “I know I’m not alone on this journey to help the underserved — and I know my journey has only just begun!” 11. What issue in Houston do the Zhu sisters focus on? A. Poor access to fresh food for kids. B. Kids’ dislike for green vegetables. C. Food supplies in supermarkets. D. Childhood obesity and illness. 12. What is Fresh Hub supposed to do? A. Serve as a healthy food provider. B. Collect fresh food from grocery stores. C. Inform users of fresh produce available. D. Publish authoritative information on food. 13. How does Annie Zhu feel about their efforts to help the underserved? A. Puzzled and curious. B. Frustrated and anxious. C. Surprised and excited. D. Delighted and satisfied. B Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can really lend a helping hand. You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe. Currently, the robotic arm is worn in the middle of your chest, but it can also be placed above your shoulders or at your side, depending on what you want to do with it. Engineer Giulia Dominijanni, part of a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), helped create the device. In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing. The robotic arm can sense the movement of your diaphragm (膈膜), the muscle that helps you breathe. When you breathe in, the robotic arm stretches; when you breathe out, it retracts (缩回). Breathing normally keeps the arm still. Before making the actual arm, the EPFL team created a virtual reality (VR) model. Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm. After successful VR tests the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. Early tests showed that users could comfortably operate the extra arm alongside their own arms. However, researchers are still exploring how well people can control this robotic arm without affecting the use of their natural arms. Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.” And scientists at EPFL believe that understanding this could benefit those with disabilities or people recovering from injuries. 14. Why did the EPFL team create a VR model? A. To cut its production cost. B. To attract more volunteers. C. To know how brains work. D. To test the arm’s function. 15. What is Jacob’s attitude to the robotic arm? A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 16. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Human Brains B. A New Device Helps Scientists C. Robotics Gives Us an Extra Arm D. Tips on How to Use an Extra Arm C Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (围栏). When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved. A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”. Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s. According to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo, the particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, which was being transported illegally, likely as part of the illegal wildlife trade network. Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT)is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.” 17. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim? A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin. B. It is made into a crocodile shape. C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It was kept in flowing river at first. 18. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles. B. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles. C. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats. D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered. 19. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Sold. B. Bought. C. Seized. D. Stolen. 20. What does Tapley’s words focus on? A. The harm IWT caused. B. The purpose to show the handbag. C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. The crisis endangered animals are facing. 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。 A last-minute vacation can be a wonderful surprise and an escape from the ordinary.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 东莞市2024—2025学年第一学期七校联考试题 第一部分 听力 第一节 听力理解(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 每段播放两遍。各段后有几个小题，每段播放前每小题有5秒钟的阅题时间。请根据各段播放内容及其相关小题，在5秒钟内从题中所给的A、B、C项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 1.

Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm.( 在制作实际的手臂之前，EPFL团队创建了一个VR模型。志愿者们学会了用呼吸传感器来控制这个虚拟的第三只手臂。测试表明，人们在使用手臂时可以轻松地环顾四周和说话)”和第六段第一句“After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one.(在VR测试成功后，该团队制作了一个简单的机械臂，其功能与虚拟手臂类似)”可知，EPFL团队创建一个VR模型的目的是测试手臂的功能。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.”(犹他大学机器人中心主任Jacob George指出：“当你在身体上添加新东西时，还不清楚大脑能做多少。但随着时间的推移，很好地控制新手臂成为可能。”)”可知，Jacob George认为随着时间的推移，人能很好地控制机械臂，所以他对机械臂持积极的态度。故选B项。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段中“Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can really lend a helping hand. You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe.(你是否曾因为双臂不够而难以完成任务？如果是这样，你可能会喜欢一种真正能提供帮助的新设备。你戴上这个机械臂，然后用你用来呼吸的肌肉来控制它)”可知，本文主要介绍的是工程师发明的人们可以佩戴的、通过呼吸控制的机械臂。所以，用C项“Robotics Gives Us an Extra Arm(机器人给了我们一个额外的手臂)”作为本文的标题，与文章主题相符合。故选C项。 C Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (围栏). When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved. A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”. Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s. According to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo, the particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, which was being transported illegally, likely as part of the illegal wildlife trade network. Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT)is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.” 17. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim? A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin. B. It is made into a crocodile shape. C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It was kept in flowing river at first. 18. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles. B. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles. C. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats. D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered. 19. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Sold. B. Bought. C. Seized. D. Stolen. 20. What does Tapley’s words focus on? A. The harm IWT caused. B. The purpose to show the handbag. C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. The crisis endangered animals are facing. 【答案】17. A 18. D 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了伦敦动物园如何通过展览等方式让公众了解动物灭绝的严重问题，特别是非法野生动物贸易对暹罗鳄等物种的危害。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.(围栏旁的牌子上写着：“这个手提包曾经在东南亚和印度尼西亚缓慢流动的河流和溪流中被发现。在过去的75年里，超过80%的暹罗鳄已经消失。许多条像这样的鳄鱼，因为它们的皮被非法野生动物贸易所猎杀。”)”可知，手提包是由鳄鱼皮制成的，因此可以联想到这个手提包“曾经游泳”是因为它原本是属于鳄鱼的皮肤。故选A。 【18题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.(暹罗鳄原产于东南亚部分地区，是极度濒危的动物，在野外几乎已经灭绝。由于狩猎和栖息地的丧失，它们现在在近99%的原始活动范围内消失了。数量减少的很大一部分原因是由于人类利用它们的湿地栖息地种植水稻，直到20世纪50年代开始大规模狩猎它们的皮肤用于商业目的，情况才变得更糟)”可知，第四段详细描述了由于猎杀和栖息地丧失，暹罗鳄现在几乎从其原始栖息地的99%中消失，并指出了数量下降的一个很大原因是人类将湿地用于水稻种植，以及为了商业目的的大规模猎杀。这些内容都直接指向了暹罗鳄濒危的原因，因此是段落的主要内容。故选D。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“at a UK airport, which was being transported illegally, likely as part of the illegal wildlife trade network. (在英国机场，该手提包可能是非法野生动物贸易网络的一部分)”可知，这个手提包在英国机场被没收，划线单词和“抓住、没收”意思相似。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade(IWT)is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”(Tapley告诉《赫芬顿邮报》：“我们在伦敦动物学会动物园的爬行动物馆里设置了这一展览，以引起游客对非法野生动物贸易对全球物种造成的破坏性影响的关注。在伦敦动物学会，我们正在与全球各国政府和当地社区合作，保护野生动物，支持针对非法贸易网络的执法行动，增强受非法野生动物贸易影响的当地社区的能力，并减少对濒危野生动物的需求。”)”可知，Tapley的话重点是解释为何要在动物园展示这个手提包，即展示手提包的目的。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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 A last-minute vacation can be a wonderful surprise and an escape from the ordinary.

(去附近的目的地可以节省交通费用)”可知，本段在说假期不一定要在几千英里之外。可以在附近。F项“A last-minute vacation doesn’t have to be thousands of miles away.(临时决定的假期不一定要在几千英里之外) ”展开叙述的。故选F。 【25题详解】 下文“You just need to leave him or her easy instructions and some food in the fridge.(你只需要给他或她留下简单的说明和放在冰箱里的一些食物)”中的“him or her”与A项 “He or she can be asked to feed the pets.(他或她可以被要求来喂宠物)”中的“He or she”呼应。都是在说明被要求作的事情。故选A。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言应用 第一节 完型填空(共15小题，每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) While I was riding a bike, I noticed a man about half a mile in front of me.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself. Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向，不爱交际。偶然一次机会，学校组织学生参加才艺表演，同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加，这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕，Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台，面对紧急情况，作者只能自己独立完成表演。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知，作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措，再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知，此时妈妈一定会及时出现，安慰作者并给作者勇气，让作者能独立完成表演。 ②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知，作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张，但是作者天生有副好嗓子，随着表演深入，这种紧张感会消失，并且精彩的完成表演。 2. 续写线索：手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张，表演完成——升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 表演：perform/make a performance/show one’s talents ② 做准备：prepare for/make preparations for ③ 参加：participate in/join in/take part in/be involved in ④ 笑：grin/smile/laugh/giggle/chuckle 情绪类 ① 害羞内向的：shy/reserved/introverted ② 好奇的：curious/be full of curiosity ③ 开心的：delighted/overjoyed/content ④ 担忧的：concerned/worried/butterflies in one’s stomach 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.（运用了现在分词作时间状语） [高分句型2] Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型3] I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
