It felt as if our lives had been wiped out.可知, 当时的作者感到很绝望。 26. D 根据最后一段中的最后一句 It now sits in a place of honor in our new home, a reminder that we can begin again可知，本文应该是写于作者一家重新安定 下来之后。 27. B 根据文章内容可知，一场野火把作者的家烧成灰烬，但作者一家还是扛 过了这场灾难，B项最能体现作者一家的经历，适合作为本文标题。 C 篇 〔语篇解读〕在意大利托斯卡纳海岸附近的海底深处，一个不同寻常的海底雕塑 公园正静静地守护着大海。 28. A 根据该划线词后面的 with exhausted fish stocks鱼类资源枯竭，可知 barren 的意思是“资源枯竭的”。 29.

D 根据设空前的 There are three common types of valleys: V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys and flat floored valleys 可知山谷的形状各不相同。山谷通常是陡 峭的峡谷或广阔的平原。 37. B V形山谷是一个狭窄的山谷，侧面陡峭，从横截面看类似于字母“V”。 它们由强大的溪流形成，随着时间的推移，它们通过一种称为下切的过程切入岩 石。这些山谷形成于山区或高原地区，溪流处于“年轻”阶段。选项 B指的是在这 个阶段，溪流迅速沿着陡坡流下。 38. E U 形谷是轮廓类似于字母“U”的谷。它们的特点是陡峭的侧面在谷壁的 底部弯曲，U形山谷是由冰川侵蚀形成的。选项 E说明了 U形谷的特点。 39. F 第三种山谷称为平地山谷，是世界上最常见的类型。这些山谷与 V形山 谷一样，由溪流形成，设空前说的是相同点，选项 F说的是不同点。 40. G 本段总结了人和山谷的关系。设空后的 they指的是 valleys。自人类发展 开始，山谷就因为靠近河流而成为人们的重要场所。河流使流动更容易，还提供 了水、良好的土壤和鱼类等食物等资源。山谷本身也很有帮助，因为如果聚落模 式定位正确，谷壁通常会阻挡风和其他恶劣天气。在地形崎岖的地区，山谷也为 定居提供了安全的场所，使入侵变得困难。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 3 〔语篇解读〕本文讲述了作者骑自行车上班的经历，以及骑车给他带来的种种 益处，同时他也希望将这种乐趣传递给他的儿子。 41. A 结合语境，此处指“自行车骑行的持久快乐唤起了我内心的童真”。短 语 bring out 意指“使显现；激发”。check out“调查；查看”；take out“带某人 出去”；pull out“使摆脱困境”。 42. B 此处动词表示情感，与前文的“痛苦”形成对比，“小时候在操场上玩 的单杠和秋千让我感到痛苦”，“骑自行车不一样，现在依然让我感到兴奋激动”， 所以选 B。wear sb.(out) “使筋疲力尽”；bother sb.“使烦恼”；shelter sb.“保护”。 43. B 此题考查搭配，a cure for the blues“治疗抑郁症的疗法”，这里指“骑自 行车通勤已经成为一种摆脱拥挤的公共交通带来的压抑情绪的方法”。barrier “障碍”。 44. C 结合上下文语境，这题的关键是情感的把握。“无论下雨、放晴、下雪 还是刮风，我都欣然接受身体和精神上的挑战。”“welcome”表示“欣然接纳”， 而不只是“遇到（encounter）”，“经历（undergo）”或“遭受（suffer）”。这一句 也与文章第一句“I love riding a bike to work no matter the weather”相呼应。 45. D 根据下文“reminding me that there is beauty to be found even in the darkest of days”可以推测，这里指“温哥华夜晚湿冷天气中的骑行会因为见到松鼠、鹿 和浣熊而增添乐趣”。sightings of squirrels, deer and raccoons 指向旅途中的 beauty， brighten指“增添乐趣”。impressed by“对...印象深刻”；surrounded by“被包围”； disturbed by“被打扰”。 46. A 结合下文的“evolved from annoyed to optimistic”可以推断，这里作为 本段的总起句指骑行可以帮助他平复情绪，让他变得“平静（calmness）”。 47. D “在骑行过程中我面对并思考人生中的挑战”，所以选 D。trials“考验”； breaks“短暂休息”；routines“常规”。 48. D “一路骑行到达目的地时，我的情绪很有可能已经从愤怒转变为乐观。” destination指向行程的终点。peak“顶峰”；bottom“底部”；limit“极限”。 49. A 参见上一题的解析。此处要结合前文的“Angry at my boss? Mad at my partner?”。angry和 mad两个词都指向“生气；懊恼”的情绪。“from annoyed to optimistic”与 46题的“calmness(平静)”形成闭环。shocked“震惊的”；frustrated “沮丧的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”。 50. C 根据下文，此处指“我想把骑行的快乐传递给儿子”。pass on sth. to sb. 表示传递；carry on“继续做；坚持干”；take on“呈现，具有（特征）”；insist on “坚持做”。 51. A 结合语境可知，此处指“我带着儿子初期探索骑行快乐的经历中包括（有 一次）他坐在自行车挂车里，告诉我骑得太慢了，路太颠簸”。involved“包括”； occupied“占据；使忙于做某事”；spared sb.(from...)“使某人免得麻烦；使逃脱”； risked “冒险”。 52. D 结合后文的“Your legs aren’t moving very fast.”推测“爸爸你一定是累 了”。focused “专注于”；stressed “焦虑的”；frozen “吓呆的”。 53. B 根据上下文语境，此处意指“自行车骑行不仅仅是一种交通方式；它还 是对我们融入沿途风景的一种邀约，让我们去感受、体验旅程，而不只是匆匆赶 往目的地。”not simply“不仅仅”。apparently“显然”；directly“直接”；extremely “极度；非常”。 54. C 参见上一题的解析。invitation在这儿是“邀约”。struggle“挣扎，努力”； 4 urge“强烈的欲望”；must“必不可少的事”。 55. B 参见 53题解析。纵观全文，作者主要讲述了自己骑车上班的经历及其 好处，最后总结自己的感悟：我们感受、体验旅程本身和沿途的风景，而不只是 匆匆赶路。rush“匆忙去做”；switch“转换；转移”；lead “通往”；drive“开车； 驾驶”。 第二节（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分） 〔语篇解读〕本文主要介绍了英国作家 Fuchsia Dunlop 所著的《鱼翅与花椒》 一书。作者花费约 15 年探索中国多样的饮食文化，不仅品尝还深入研究中国食 物。此书从对花椒的描述到对相关话题的讨论，展示了作者对中国美食的热爱及 对西方人的启示。 56. who 考查非限制性定语从句，指向前面主句中的英国作家 Dunlop，在从句 中做主语。 57. consists 考查谓语动词正确形式。consist of由...组成，该短语没有被动形式。 根据上下文推断此处是一般现在时，第三人称单数。 58. to 考查介词搭配。“从偏远的甘肃农村到历史名城扬州”，“from...to...”。 59. merely 考查副词正确形式。“不仅仅是呈现食物”，此处副词 merely修饰动 词 present。 60. acceptance 考查名词正确形式。“从惊讶到接受”，此处 acceptance 与 amazement形式并列。accept名词形式是 acceptance。 61. remarkable 考查形容词正确形式。“这本非同凡响的书”，remarkable 作定 语修饰 book。 62. to appreciate 考查非谓语动词正确形式。“读者们也被鼓励从一个局外人的 角度去欣赏生活中除了食物以外的其他方面。”encourage sb. to do sth.，不定式做 宾语补足语。 63. an 考查冠词。参见上一题的解析，“从一个局外者的角度”，此处泛指某一 个局外人的视角，用不定冠词，而“outsider”是以元音音素开头的单词，所以 填“an”。 64. is reflected 考查谓语动词正确形式。“这种双重性体现在这本书的标题中”， duality与 reflect之间构成动宾关系，所以此处要用被动语态。 65. leaving 查非谓语动词。此处句意“这种融合的方式极大地丰富了中国菜的 内涵，也给读者留下了深刻印象”。此处没有连词 and，所以 leave 应用非谓语动 词形式，与逻辑主语是主动关系，所以填 leaving。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 （满分 15分） 范文 1 Dear Chris, I’m writing to share with you my proposal for the new section. As a high school student, I believe that our school’s English website should consider adding a new section dedicated to career guidance. This section could provide information about various career paths, job opportunities, and tips for college applications. It would be beneficial for students as it can help them explore different professions and make informed decisions about 5 their future. Additionally, it could feature interviews with professionals from diverse fields to offer insights into the real working world. By incorporating this new section, our school can better support students in their academic and professional development. Hope my proposal will be of some help. Yours, Li Hua 范文 2 Dear Chris, I am writing to present my proposal for an exciting new section on our school’s English website. I believe that a section dedicated to language learning tips would be an excellent addition. This section could offer students valuable insights and resources aimed at enhancing their English language acquisition journey. As learners of a new language, we frequently encounter various challenges along the way. By providing practical advice, this section can enable students to deal with these obstacles with greater ease. Furthermore, it could feature interviews with linguistic experts, reviews of innovative language learning apps and resources, as well as inspiring success stories from fellow students. Thank you for considering my proposal. Yours, Li Hua 范文 3 Dear Chris, I am writing to present my proposal for an exciting section on our school’s English website. In recent years, with the increasing influence of China on the global stage, it is of great significance to add a section called “Tell Chinese Stories Well in English”. Firstly, it could help promote Chinese culture to the world. Through vivid stories, foreigners can better understand China’s rich history, vibrant traditions and distinctive values. Secondly, it enhances cultural exchanges. When people from different countries know more about China, it builds bridges of communication and promotes mutual understanding and respect. Finally, it would undoubtedly boost our students’ sense of national identity and pride. Thank you for considering my proposal. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分 25分） 故事梗概： 作者的姐姐比她大三岁，小时候作者崇拜姐姐，但后来关系疏远。姐姐告知 要去以色列留学十个月，作者起初不太在意，以为能享用姐姐留下的东西。姐姐 离开后的第一晚，作者感到家中异常安静，意识到姐姐的存在曾让自己感到安全， 6 为此落泪并反思过去彼此浪费的时光。最后作者拿起电话打给姐姐。 读后续写 第一段思路： 姐姐接起了电话，作者和姐姐敞开心扉交流，倾诉思念和懊悔。姐姐感动回 应，关系开始回暖。 第二段思路： 姐妹频繁通话增进感情，分享彼此经历和变化。作者也开始期盼姐姐回国团 聚，弥补分别时的遗憾。经过此次分别，作者意识到亲情的意义，姐妹情感有了 新起点，回扣文章标题。 此段学生也可以把后面情节写成“姐姐终于结束学业，回国团聚，姐妹深情 拥抱。此次分别增进了姐妹情感，开启新的阶段。” 参考范文 “Hello?” Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby and not Israel. “Hey Tova. It’s me, Sara. I just called to tell you I love you.” My words came out in a rush. I knew if I stopped in the middle, I wouldn’t have the courage to continue. For a long time there was only silence on the other end. Finally she spoke, “I love you, too. I know we aren’t as close as some sisters, but that doesn’t mean we are not missing each other a ton.” At that very moment, tears welled up in my eyes and the invisible wall between us was gone. Since then, we often called each other.We shared everything, from fashion to her favorite CD, to a boy I had a crush on as well as our school lives. The giggles filling both ends of the phone warmed both of us, and it also made me feel safe. I also started counting down the days until she returned home so I could give her the hug I didn't give her when we parted and say, “I’m so glad to have you home.” I was grateful that this separation did not distance us, but instead marked a new beginning of our sisterly closeness. 英语听力原文 Text 1 W: Matthew, have you set off for the graduation party? M: Hello, Kate. I’m weeding in the garden right now. W: Oh, I was expecting that you were driving to the party. I’ll call you later. Text 2 M: All right, dear. Pick two daily courses that you want. For example, if you want this biology course, click here. W: Got it. But should I choose the morning or afternoon classes? M: Well, it’s really up to you! Text 3 W: I’m trying to lose weight but nothing seems to be working. I’ve tried Yoga and swimming. And I’m thinking about finding a personal trainer. 7 M: What I found helpful was counting calories. That way you can work out how many calories you have to burn. Text 4 M: What are you putting on the wall, Catherine? W: They’re posters for our championship match next Saturday. I want to make sure as many students come as possible. M: Next Saturday? I can’t wait to see you guys play! Text 5 W: Hold on, Jason. I’ve got to sit down for a second. M: What’s wrong? Wow, you don’t look so good. How long have you been out in the sun? W: Too long, I think. I’m very dizzy and thirsty. M: Well, have some water first. Text 6 M: I mean, really, this is such an surprising encounter! It must have been … oh … 40 years now! Ah yes, it was the winter of 1984. I distinctly remember your good father sitting in the office. W: So you were his co-worker that time? M: Yeah, we taught history in those days. I moved on to writing as a career only five years ago. W: So, how did you know that I was his daughter? M: It’s the shape of your ears. Your father had them, too. Text 7 W: Hey, Dad. My birthday just passed, and Christmas isn’t for months, but I’d be so grateful if I could borrow some cash for shopping. M: Well, Lucy, what are you looking to get? W: Emily and Grace just got some new make-up products. I really want to get some! M: Dear, we have so many beauty products around the house. Do you really need them, or do you want them just because your friends have them? W: Maybe both. I want to look as good as my friends. When they came back from the mall with new products, they looked amazing. M: I know, dear. But remember, beauty starts inside first. No beauty product in the world could compete with the beauty of a confident person. So, please, consider this before buying a new product. Text 8 W: Here’s your room key and the password for the Wi-Fi. Also, I noticed that your accent sounds French. Where are you from? M: I’m from a small country called Monaco, surrounded by France. Oh, and we speak French there. W: How interesting! I’ve never been to Europe, but I’ve heard Monaco is a small but beautiful country. M: Sure, it’s lovely. It has become a popular tourist destination for very wealthy people, similar to Abu Dhabi. There is a car racetrack that runs throughout the country. 8 W: It sounds much more wonderful than my hometown here in South Korea. M: Maybe, but it’s also very costly to live there! Almost 30% of the country’s population has over one million dollars — I certainly don’t have that much money, so I decided to study overseas, which costs less than studying in Europe. W: Oh, that’s interesting, because this hotel is usually for tourists and business people. M: I’m moving into the dormitory tomorrow and just needed a place to spend the night! Text 9 W: Excuse me, I came here for lunch earlier and it seems I’ve lost my new phone. I don’t suppose you’ve found it, have you? M: Not to my knowledge, madam, but it may have been put into the Lost Property box. Let’s go and see. W: Thank you! I’ve looked everywhere that I’ve been today…the bookstore, the supermarket…and I’ve had no luck, so this restaurant is my last hope! M: Okay…We have a couple of phones here. Can you describe yours to me? W: It’s a pink one with a white case. Oh, sorry. I forgot that I just put a new black case on it. M: Okay. This could be it. W: Oh, I hope so! M: Can you tell me what background photo you have on your home screen, so that I know it’s yours? W: Sure. It’s a picture of me and my sister in the forest. No, wait! That was my old phone. My new phone has a picture of my cat on the beach. M: That’s enough information for me! Here you are. W: That’s it! Thank you so much! Text 10 Attention, students. This is an announcement for all third grade students! Tomorrow is the day when you can choose what musical instrument you want to learn to play in the school band. The gym will be filled with musical instruments for every student to try. When you find an instrument you like, find Ms. Anderson on the other side of the room and tell her your name and what instrument you would like to play in the band. Playing an instrument is a great learning opportunity. Learning to play an instrument teaches you how to practice and how to read music. Many of our students have gone on to play in their high school bands. If you would like to play an instrument in the band, your parents have to pay $60 per year. This fee is due next week. It is for the music books, the cleaning supplies, and the instrument rental(租赁). If you play the guitar, the fee is $10 more because the strings(弦) are very expensive. If you are not able to pay the fee but you would still like to play an instrument this year, please visit Ms. Anderson’s office. 2024年“江南十校”高二年级12月份阶段联考 英语答题卡 ( 贴 条 形 码 区 此栏考生禁填 缺考标记 注意事项 缺考考生由监考老师贴条形码，用 2B铅笔填涂左边的缺考标记，并在姓名栏填写 “ 缺考 ” 字样  贴 条 形 码 区 ) ( 姓 名 考 号 ) ( 1. 答题前 务必认真核准条形码上的姓名、考号，并将本人姓名、考号填写在相应位置，在答题卡背面左上角填写姓名和座位号后两位。 2. 答选择题时，须使用 2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，务必擦净。答非选择题时，须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。严格按题号所指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。保持卡面清洁，不折叠、不破损。 3. 考生未按上述要求填写、答题，影响评分质量，后果自负。 ) ( 缺考考生由监考员贴条形码，用 2B铅笔填涂左边的缺考标记，并在姓名栏填写 “ 缺考 ” 字样。 ) ( 缺考标记 ) ( 选择题 （用2B铅笔填涂） 正确填涂样例： ) ( 1 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 2 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 3 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 4 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 5 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 16 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 17 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 1 8 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 1 9 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 2 0 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 31 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 3 2 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 33 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 34 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 35 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 46 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 47 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 48 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 49 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 50 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 6 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 7 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 8 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 9 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 10 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 21 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 22 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 23 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 24 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 25 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 36 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 37 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 38 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 39 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 40 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 51 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 52 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 53 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 54 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 55 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 11 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 12 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 13 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 14 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 15 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 26 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 27 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 28 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 29 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 30 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 41 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 42 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 43 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 44 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 45 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] ) ( 非选择题 （用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写） ) ( 56. 57 . 58 . 59 . 60. 61 . 62 . 63 . 64. 65 . ) ( 写作 第一节 Dear Chris, ) ( 请转下页作答 ) ( 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出 答题 区域的答案无效 ) ( 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出 答题 区域的答案无效 ) ( 考生务必将姓名、座位号后两位用 0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔认真填写在书写框内，座位号后两位的每个书写框只能填写一个阿位伯数字。 ) ( 座位号 后两位 ) ( 姓名 ) ( 考生 必填 ) ( 请接上页作答 ) ( Yours, Li Hua ) ( 写作 第二节 “ Hello? ” Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby and not Israel.

B I drove through our neighborhood with my husband, the place we’d called home for 26 years. The Sierra Nevada foothills, once thick with towering pines, were unrecognizable. The ground was covered with a thick blanket of ash. We’d gotten an early-morning call telling us to move out immediately two weeks earlier. The wildfire tearing through Northern California had spread and was heading our way. We jumped in the car with our dogs and a few belongings. For days, we bounced from hotel to hotel, desperate for news. What finally came wasn’t good. Our house had been right in the fire’s path. Now we’d been given permission to return. My husband and I brought shovels(铁铲 ), work boots, masks and gloves. We would “rescue” anything we could. We drove slowly through the ruins, where chimneys marked the spots where homes once stood. I wasn’t prepared for what awaited us. Our house was nothing but rubble(碎石). Most of our belongings, including my precious collection of inspirational books, were all gone. I wiped away tears as we dug through the ash. We uncovered a cast-iron umbrella stand that used to stand beside our door, and a decorative dish our son had given me, blackened but whole, which reminded us of bits and pieces of our life. How will we survive this? It felt as if our lives had been wiped out. We stopped digging in late afternoon. My husband loaded what we’d found in the car and said, “Let’s go.” I turned to get in the car. That was when I noticed something stuck to my boot. A piece of paper. I picked it up. Its edges were burnt, but the words were surprisingly clear, “ If life seems difficult, I pause and reflect on the blessing sometimes hidden within every circumstance. With renewed faith and courage, I begin again.” The words must have come from one of my books, a passage I couldn’t recall but now said everything I needed to hear. I framed that piece of paper and kept it on the nightstand in every hotel and motel we stayed in over the following months. It now sits in a place of honor in our new home, a reminder that we can begin again. 24．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．The author’s family left home hurriedly. B．The author’s family lost everything in the fire. C．The wildfire first broke out close to the author’s home. D．No warning about the wildfire was given two weeks earlier. 英语试卷 第 5 页（共 10 页） 25．How might the author feel when she was digging through the ash? A．Guilty. B．Astonished. C．Hopeless.

C Nestled in the waters off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is safeguarding its ocean environment. Fisherman Antonio Verdi has been casting his nets in these waters since his youth along the Maremma coastline. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: the seabed was becoming barren, with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, Antonio Verdi has found himself not only competing with the decline of ocean resources but also with threatening practices of illegal “bottom trawlers(拖网捕鱼的人 )”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats. Antonio Verdi’s style of artisanal fishing(手工捕鱼), in contrast, is friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fishermen’s income. He understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs, so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,”he stated. Sculptures or rocks can break weighted trawler nets. They can also function as artificial reefs, offering habitats for corals and other sea creatures. Due to the presence of the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have rejoined the waters. The sculpture park represents both an artistic expression and a defence against destructive seafloor trawling. Presently, 39 massive stone sculptures are scattered across the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the near future, Antonio Verdi hopes to extend his protective efforts in coastal waters. “The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my mission to protect it continues.” 28．What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Unproductive. B．Delicate. C．Fruitful. D．Nutritious. 29．How does Antonio Verdi’s fishing differ from that of the illegal “bottom trawlers”? A．He uses larger nets to catch more fish. B．His method is less damaging to the ecosystem. C．He focuses on catching specific high-value fish. D．His fishing involves the use of underwater sculptures. 英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页） 30．What impact has the sculpture park had on the local ocean life? A．A shift in the types of fish caught by local fishermen. B．A decrease in the number of fish due to the sculptures. C．The return of species that had previously disappeared from the area. D．The extinction of some species due to the increased human presence. 31．What is the relationship between human activities and the ocean environment according to this article? A．The ocean is too vast to be affected by human activities. B．Human activities have no significant impact on sea creatures. C．The only way to protect sea creatures is to prohibit human activities. D．Fishing should be in line with efforts to maintain a healthy ocean ecosystem. D Solar cells play an important role in the shift towards a greener future, with an increasing number of buildings and rooftops worldwide being fitted with solar panels. However, their large size can be a limitation. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) has developed a technique to produce incredibly lightweight solar cells that can be placed on a variety of surfaces. These solar cells are made from nanomaterials using a kind of electronic ink. Their thinness allows them to be applied to many different surfaces, such as being placed on the wings of drones(无人机) to prolong their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable of producing approximately 18 times more power per kilogram compared to traditional solar panels. A problem that researchers are addressing before these solar cells can be mass-produced is how to protect the solar cells from oxygen and moisture(湿气). While traditional solar cells are protected by glass, adding such a layer would remove the major advantage of the new ultra-thin solar cells. Scientists are currently exploring alternative protective measures. Australia is also witnessing notable progress in this field. During the “Charge Around Australia” project, scientists drove around the country in a Tesla that was powered only by solar panels on a three-month journey. These solar panels were stored in the vehicle’s trunk and provided power if necessary. 32．What is the main advantage of the new solar cells developed by MIT scientists? A．They are diverse in form. B．They are more affordable to produce. C．They are protected by a layer of glass. D．They are flexible and generate more power. 33．What challenge do scientists face before these solar cells can be mass-produced? A．To extend the battery life. B．To make them absorb more energy. C．To guard them against oxygen and moisture. D．To get rid of size and geographical limitation. 英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页） 34．What most probably makes glass improper as a protective layer? A．Its cost. B．Its weight. C．Its structure. D．Its breakability. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Solar panels have been widely used in vehicles around the world. B．Australia relied on a network of charging stations in the project. C．Significant innovation was made in solar technology in Australia. D．The Tesla was charged using traditional power outlets in the project. 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。 Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth. They are formed through erosion(侵 蚀) or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. Their form depends on what is eroding it, the slope(坡度) of the land, the type of rock or soil and the amount of time the land has been eroded. There are three common types of valleys: V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys and flat floored valleys. 36 A V-shaped valley, sometimes called a river valley, is a narrow valley with steeply(陡峭地) sloped sides that appear similar to the letter “V”. They are formed by strong streams, which over time have cut down into the rock. These valleys form with streams in their “youthful” stage. 37 An example of a V-shaped valley is the Grand Canyon in the Southwestern United States. A U-shaped valley is a valley with a profile(轮廓 ) similar to the letter “U”. 38 They are formed by glacial(冰川的) erosion during the last glaciation. This is because ice sheets flowed down the pre-existing river or V-shaped valleys and caused the bottom of the “V” to level out into a “U” shape, resulting in a wider, deeper valley. The third type of the valley is called a flat-floored valley. These valleys, like V-shaped valleys, are formed by streams. 39 Over time, the stream continues to erode the valley’s soil, widening it further. With flood, the material that is eroded and carried in the stream is deposited which builds up the floodplain and the valley. During this process, the shape of the valley changes from a V or U shaped valley into one with a broad flat valley floor. 40 They are close to rivers which enable easier movement and also provide resources like water, good soils and food such as fish. The valleys themselves were also helpful as valley walls often blocked winds and other severe weather if the settlement patterns were positioned correctly. Valleys also provided a safe place for settlement and made invasions difficult. A．A valley is normally occupied by a river or stream. B．During this period, streams flow rapidly down steep slopes. C．The river begins to erode the bank of its channel instead of valley walls. D．The shape of valleys varies but they are typically steep-sided canyons or broad plains. E．This type of valley is characterized by steep sides that curve in at the base of the valley wall. F．The difference is that they are no longer in their youthful stage, and are instead in a mature stage. G．Valleys have played an important role in people’s life since the beginning of human development. 英语试卷 第 8 页（共 10 页） 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节 （共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I love riding a bike to work no matter the weather.

The book 57 (consist) of 16 chapters, each featuring a practical recipe. Dunlop explores Chinese food from the remote Gansu countryside 58 the historic city of Yangzhou. Rather than 英语试卷 第 9 页（共 10 页） 59 (mere) presenting the food, she immerses herself in tasting it and, more importantly, investigating it. From amazement to 60 (accept), Dunlop embarks on this food journey by learning to cook and trying different Chinese foods including sea cucumber and scorpion(蝎子), despite her usual dietary preferences. This 61 (remark) book provides an exciting journey changing from simple descriptions of Sichuan pepper to serious discussions on topics like animal cruelty related to expensive food such as shark’s fin. Readers are also encouraged 62 (appreciate) other aspects of life beyond food from the perspective of 63 outsider. Dunlop’s passion for Chinese cuisine is clear throughout her writing. She shows how westerners can set aside biases(偏见) and accept Chinese culture. This duality(双重性) 64 (reflect) in the book’s title: Sichuan pepper stands for everyday energy, while shark’s fin represents high-end luxury. This mix of daily life and a taste for luxury enriches Chinese cuisine, 65 (leave) a lasting impression on readers. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40分） 第一节（满分 15分） 假定你是李华，你校英文网站拟增设一个新版块（section），正向同学们征求建议。请你给负 责人 Chris写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．你的建议； 2．阐述理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为 80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 第二节 （满分 25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 New Beginnings My sister and I weren’t exactly what you would call close. I was three years younger, and I thought she walked on water. Everything she did was perfect, and I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. If she wore her hair in twin braids(辫子) with a pink clip one day, the next day I wore mine exactly the same way. I used to follow her and her friends around, begging to be included, but there isn’t much room in a 13-year-old’s life for a troublesome 10-year-old sister. As a result, over time, my worship(崇 拜) of her became indifference. We were strangers living in the same house, eating together but never communicating. Dear Chris, Yours, Li Hua 英语试卷 第 10 页（共 10 页） So when she sat me down one day last year and told me she’d be going to Israel to study abroad for ten months, I wasn’t too concerned. I figured I would get to wear the clothes she left behind and use her CD player. That was the only way I thought her leaving would affect me. That first night after she left, I sat in my room and tried to do homework. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, something was missing. The house was too quiet. No Tova’s CD player and no Tova’s voice giggling on the phone with her friends. Sitting there, I realized just how different it was without her in the house. Even though we didn’t speak, I had felt safe just knowing she was near. I cried that night. I cried over all the years we had wasted trying to live our own lives and ignoring each other’s. I cried that I couldn’t even give her a hug before she boarded her plane. But as the night wore on, my tears changed to tears of calm, tears of new beginnings. I picked up the phone and called her halfway across the world. I waited for her to pick up, my doubts growing with every second. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Hello?” Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby and not Israel. Since then, we often called each other. 姓名 座位号 （在此卷上答题无效） 绝密 ★ 启用前 2024年“江南十校”高二年级12月份阶段联考 英 语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号框涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号框。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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．Where is Matthew now?

The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs, so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,”he stated. Sculptures or rocks can break weighted trawler nets. They can also function as artificial reefs, offering habitats for corals and other sea creatures. Due to the presence of the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have rejoined the waters. The sculpture park represents both an artistic expression and a defence against destructive seafloor trawling. Presently, 39 massive stone sculptures are scattered across the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the near future, Antonio Verdi hopes to extend his protective efforts in coastal waters. “The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my mission to protect it continues.” 28．What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Unproductive. B．Delicate. C．Fruitful. D．Nutritious. 29．How does Antonio Verdi’s fishing differ from that of the illegal “bottom trawlers”? A．He uses larger nets to catch more fish. B．His method is less damaging to the ecosystem. C．He focuses on catching specific high-value fish. D．His fishing involves the use of underwater sculptures. 30．What impact has the sculpture park had on the local ocean life? A．A shift in the types of fish caught by local fishermen. B．A decrease in the number of fish due to the sculptures. C．The return of species that had previously disappeared from the area. D．The extinction of some species due to the increased human presence. 31．What is the relationship between human activities and the ocean environment according to this article? A．The ocean is too vast to be affected by human activities. B．Human activities have no significant impact on sea creatures. C．The only way to protect sea creatures is to prohibit human activities. D．Fishing should be in line with efforts to maintain a healthy ocean ecosystem. D Solar cells play an important role in the shift towards a greener future, with an increasing number of buildings and rooftops worldwide being fitted with solar panels. However, their large size can be a limitation. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) has developed a technique to produce incredibly lightweight solar cells that can be placed on a variety of surfaces. These solar cells are made from nanomaterials using a kind of electronic ink. Their thinness allows them to be applied to many different surfaces, such as being placed on the wings of drones(无人机) to prolong their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable of producing approximately 18 times more power per kilogram compared to traditional solar panels. A problem that researchers are addressing before these solar cells can be mass-produced is how to protect the solar cells from oxygen and moisture(湿气). While traditional solar cells are protected by glass, adding such a layer would remove the major advantage of the new ultra-thin solar cells. Scientists are currently exploring alternative protective measures. Australia is also witnessing notable progress in this field. During the “Charge Around Australia” project, scientists drove around the country in a Tesla that was powered only by solar panels on a three-month journey. These solar panels were stored in the vehicle’s trunk and provided power if necessary. 32．What is the main advantage of the new solar cells developed by MIT scientists? A．They are diverse in form. B．They are more affordable to produce. C．They are protected by a layer of glass. D．They are flexible and generate more power. 33．What challenge do scientists face before these solar cells can be mass-produced? A．To extend the battery life. B．To make them absorb more energy. C．To guard them against oxygen and moisture. D．To get rid of size and geographical limitation. 34．What most probably makes glass improper as a protective layer? A．Its cost. B．Its weight. C．Its structure. D．Its breakability. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Solar panels have been widely used in vehicles around the world. B．Australia relied on a network of charging stations in the project. C．Significant innovation was made in solar technology in Australia. D．The Tesla was charged using traditional power outlets in the project. 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。 Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth. They are formed through erosion(侵蚀) or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. Their form depends on what is eroding it, the slope(坡度) of the land, the type of rock or soil and the amount of time the land has been eroded. There are three common types of valleys: V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys and flat floored valleys. 36 A V-shaped valley, sometimes called a river valley, is a narrow valley with steeply(陡峭地) sloped sides that appear similar to the letter “V”. They are formed by strong streams, which over time have cut down into the rock. These valleys form with streams in their “youthful” stage. 37 An example of a V-shaped valley is the Grand Canyon in the Southwestern United States. A U-shaped valley is a valley with a profile(轮廓) similar to the letter “U”. 38 They are formed by glacial(冰川的) erosion during the last glaciation. This is because ice sheets flowed down the pre-existing river or V-shaped valleys and caused the bottom of the “V” to level out into a “U” shape, resulting in a wider, deeper valley. The third type of the valley is called a flat-floored valley. These valleys, like V-shaped valleys, are formed by streams. 39 Over time, the stream continues to erode the valley’s soil, widening it further. With flood, the material that is eroded and carried in the stream is deposited which builds up the floodplain and the valley. During this process, the shape of the valley changes from a V or U shaped valley into one with a broad flat valley floor. 40 They are close to rivers which enable easier movement and also provide resources like water, good soils and food such as fish. The valleys themselves were also helpful as valley walls often blocked winds and other severe weather if the settlement patterns were positioned correctly. Valleys also provided a safe place for settlement and made invasions difficult. A．A valley is normally occupied by a river or stream. B．During this period, streams flow rapidly down steep slopes. C．The river begins to erode the bank of its channel instead of valley walls. D．The shape of valleys varies but they are typically steep-sided canyons or broad plains. E．This type of valley is characterized by steep sides that curve in at the base of the valley wall. F．The difference is that they are no longer in their youthful stage, and are instead in a mature stage. G．Valleys have played an important role in people’s life since the beginning of human development. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I love riding a bike to work no matter the weather.

The book 57 (consist) of 16 chapters, each featuring a practical recipe. Dunlop explores Chinese food from the remote Gansu countryside 58 the historic city of Yangzhou. Rather than 59 (mere) presenting the food, she immerses herself in tasting it and, more importantly, investigating it. From amazement to 60 (accept), Dunlop embarks on this food journey by learning to cook and trying different Chinese foods including sea cucumber and scorpion(蝎子), despite her usual dietary preferences. This 61 (remark) book provides an exciting journey changing from simple descriptions of Sichuan pepper to serious discussions on topics like animal cruelty related to expensive food such as shark’s fin. Readers are also encouraged 62 (appreciate) other aspects of life beyond food from the perspective of 63 outsider. Dunlop’s passion for Chinese cuisine is clear throughout her writing. She shows how westerners can set aside biases(偏见) and accept Chinese culture. This duality(双重性) 64 (reflect) in the book’s title: Sichuan pepper stands for everyday energy, while shark’s fin represents high-end luxury. This mix of daily life and a taste for luxury enriches Chinese cuisine, 65 (leave) a lasting impression on readers. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校英文网站拟增设一个新版块（section），正向同学们征求建议。请你给负责人Chris写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．你的建议； 2．阐述理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 New Beginnings My sister and I weren’t exactly what you would call close. I was three years younger, and I thought she walked on water. Everything she did was perfect, and I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. If she wore her hair in twin braids(辫子) with a pink clip one day, the next day I wore mine exactly the same way. I used to follow her and her friends around, begging to be included, but there isn’t much room in a 13-year-old’s life for a troublesome 10-year-old sister. As a result, over time, my worship(崇拜) of her became indifference. We were strangers living in the same house, eating together but never communicating. So when she sat me down one day last year and told me she’d be going to Israel to study abroad for ten months, I wasn’t too concerned. I figured I would get to wear the clothes she left behind and use her CD player. That was the only way I thought her leaving would affect me. That first night after she left, I sat in my room and tried to do homework. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, something was missing. The house was too quiet. No Tova’s CD player and no Tova’s voice giggling on the phone with her friends. Sitting there, I realized just how different it was without her in the house. Even though we didn’t speak, I had felt safe just knowing she was near. I cried that night. I cried over all the years we had wasted trying to live our own lives and ignoring each other’s. I cried that I couldn’t even give her a hug before she boarded her plane. But as the night wore on, my tears changed to tears of calm, tears of new beginnings. I picked up the phone and called her halfway across the world. I waited for her to pick up, my doubts growing with every second. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。“Hello?” Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby and not Israel. Since then, we often called each other. 英语试卷 第 1 页（共 10 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语 第 1 页 共 2 页 贴 条 形 码 区 此栏考生禁填 缺考标记 注 意 事 项 缺考考生由监考老师贴条形码，用 2B 铅笔填涂左边的缺考标记，并在姓名栏填写“缺考”字样  贴 条 形 码 区 1.答题前务必认真核准条形码上的姓名、考号，并将本人姓名、考号填写在相应位置，在答题卡背面左上角填写姓名和座位号后两位。 2.答选择题时，须使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，务必擦净。答非选择题时，须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。严格按题号所 指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。保持卡面清洁，不折叠、不破损。 3.考生未按上述要求填写、答题，影响评分质量，后果自负。 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 写作 第一节 Dear Chris, 2024 年“江南十校”高二年级 12 月份阶段联考 英语答题卡 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域的答案无效 1 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 2 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 3 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 4 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 5 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 16 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 17 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 18 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 19 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 20 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 31 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 32 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 33 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 34 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 35 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 46 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 47 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 48 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 49 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 50 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 6 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 7 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 8 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 9 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 10 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 21 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 22 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 23 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 24 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 25 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 36 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 37 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 38 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 39 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 40 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] [ E ] [ F ] [ G ] 51 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 52 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 53 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 54 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 55 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 11 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 12 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 13 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 14 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 15 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] 26 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 27 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 28 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 29 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 30 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 41 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 42 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 43 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 44 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 45 [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] 缺考考生由监考员贴条形码，用 2B 铅笔填涂左边的缺考标记，并在姓名栏填写“缺考”字样。缺考标记 姓 名 考 号 选择题 （用 2B铅笔填涂） 正确填涂样例： 非选择题 （用 0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写） 请转下页作答 英语 第 2 页 共 2 页 考生 必填 姓名 座位号 后两位 考生务必将姓名、座位号后两位用 0.5 毫米的黑色墨水签字笔认真填写在书写框内，座位号后两 位的每个书写框只能填写一个阿位伯数字。 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域的答案无效 Yours, Li Hua 写作 第二节 “Hello?” Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby and not Israel.
