Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A.

B Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 24. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 25. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 26. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 27. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 28. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 29. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 30. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 31. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 32. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 33. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 34. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Beat Boredom over the Summer The first week of summer is wonderful.

We had a special event each year: the music festival at a well-known theme park. It was an opportunity for us to showcase our talents and enjoy the pleasure of the park. To make this event meaningful, we organized a fundraising campaign, selling chocolate bars throughout our community. It was a simple plan but one that required us to connect with our neighbors and ask for their support. There were always heart- warming encounters. One sunny afternoon, I approached a neighbor’s home. The lady who answered the door greeted me with a smile and, after hearing about our cause, she decided to support us by purchasing several bars. As we were nearing the end, the lady’s little girl, who was about three or four years old and had been watching our actions, ran out. The little girl came back with a bill in her hand, a little dirt on it. She was eager to give it to me and said, “I want to be like Mom and support you.” The lady was surprised and said it was saved by the girl herself. Her lovely face and eager eyes made it hard for me to say no. I tried to explain to her that her mother was already buying some chocolate, but she was determined. Neither her mother nor I could dissuade (劝阻) her from her newfound task of handing me the dollar bill. I knew that I couldn’t put her mother in a position to buy more chocolate than she had originally intended. I couldn’t accept the little girl’s money. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, inspiration struck! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl’s eyes widened with joy as she grasped the bill and the chocolate bar. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赤峰四中2024-2025学年第一学期月考试题 高二英语 考生须知： 1．本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟; 2．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场、座位号及准考证号(填涂); 3．所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效; 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did Jenny do recently?

I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was, though. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Why does the speaker get excited about the Screen Machine? A. It always shows the latest movies. B. It can provide comfortable seats. C. It shows films near his home. 18. How long does it take to change the Screen Machine into a cinema? A. 30 minutes. B. 60 minutes. C. 80 minutes. 19. What is the truck driver responsible for? A. Showing the film. B. Selling tickets. C. Fixing the engines. 20. How do most people in the speaker’s hometown book tickets now? A. By going to the ticket office. B. By making telephone calls. C. By using the Internet. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: I’ve lived on an island off the west coast of Scotland. I love it here but a trip to the cinema means a fifty five minute boat journey plus a half hour drive to the nearest town. That’s why we all get so excited about the screen machine. It’s a mobile cinema that travels around the Scottish islands visiting twenty three different areas in turn every seven weeks. And sometimes we get to see the latest movies. You can’t Miss the huge bright blue screen machine when it comes into the car park. It takes an hour to change it into a comfortable air conditioned eighty seat cinema. It’s amazing. I really admire the screen machines driver. Of course he screens the film. And there is always another person selling tickets. They need a repairman too. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for the trucks engines and they can break down. Ticket prices are inexpensive, so as you can imagine, as soon as the screen machine arrives, the ticket of his phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the screen machine website which makes it even more convenient. And that’s the way most people choose now. It’s an amazing service and much better than the long journey across the sea to the cinema. 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Theme Parks in Florida Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species.

Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A.

Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving. “I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.” Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style. Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said. Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices. “As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said. 24. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art? A. Her childhood. B. Her love for animals. C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels. 25. What is the focus of paragraph 3? A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art. B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style. C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist. D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts. 26. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation? A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data. C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy. 27. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph? A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings. B. Urban life helps protect endangered species. C. She seeks to expose environmental harm. D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了野生动物保护艺术家Ekaterina Sky通过自己的画作让人们与自然和动物重新建立联系，为它们发声。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species.(最近，Ekaterina到世界各地旅行，绘制了各种濒危物种的壁画。)”可知，她到世界各地旅行，并画了各种濒危物种的壁画，由此可推测出，她的旅行经历激发她去创作艺术作品。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.(Ekaterina在俄罗斯雅罗斯拉夫尔美术学院开始了她的艺术之旅。在那里，她完成了一个美术课程，这给了她成为一名保护艺术家所需的背景。她还获得了特拉维夫博物馆艺术学院的奖学金。在那里，她扩展了自己的知识和技能，学会了创造自己独特的风格。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Ekaterina接受艺术教育的背景。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals.(这有助于他们与动物建立更多的联系，也许还有助于他们意识到与动物的相互联系。)”和第五段中的“Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.(Ekaterina的作品可以帮助提高人们对我们都必须在这里共存这一事实的认识。她说，我们的城市生活方式让我们忘记了所有我们可以通过做出不同选择来帮助保护的濒危物种。)”可推测出，Ekaterina的作品可以提高公众对野生动物保护的意识。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ekaterina的话“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them(我相信，我们通过眼睛联系在一起，眼睛是我们灵魂的窗户，我相信，当我们遇到某人的灵魂时，我们没有伤害他们的心)”可推出，Ekaterina认为人类的眼睛通过观看艺术而将人类和动物联系在一起。故选D。 C Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 28. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 29. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 30. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 31. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民发展农业，实现脱贫。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.(在这里，如果人们能用中文“你好”打招呼，他们当然也知道另一个中文词语“万宝”，这是中国一个水稻种植项目的名字。)”可知，凡是能用中文“你好”打招呼的人都会知道“万宝”这个中国水稻种植项目，由此可推测，这说明了该项目在莫桑比克非常受欢迎。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare(公顷) of land(我从水稻种植中受益匪浅，学会了在一公顷土地上使用中国技术生产水稻)”可知，万宝项目给当地人提供了农业技术。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前一句“An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice.(一位老农民现在甚至在教其他农民如何种植水稻。)”和画线词后的“crops over 40 hectares”可知，这位老农民可以教其他农民如何种植水稻，由此可推测出，他在40公顷的土地上种植庄稼，cultivate意为“种植”，与grow意思一致。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa.(农民们在农场里载歌载舞庆祝水稻丰收。这是万宝莫桑比克稻田，中国在非洲最大的水稻种植项目。)”并结合下文可知，本文主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民种植水稻，与农业有关，所以本文最有可能出自网站上的农业版块。故选C。 D Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play. Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not. To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 32. What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior? A. A form of fight. B. A form of training. C. A form of labor. D. A form of performance. 33. Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment? A. To train bumblebees to play with balls. B. To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style. C. To explore if bumblebees play without a reward. D. To observe how bees interact with different objects: 34. What did the scientists find during the experiment? A. Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved. B. Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males. C. Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones. D. Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life. B. Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees. C. Bumblebees are the first insects known to play. D. Playing is common among mammals and birds. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现大黄蜂似乎是第一个已知会玩的昆虫，但尚不清楚它们为什么这么做以及它们是否喜欢这样，即便如此，这项研究让人们想知道昆虫大脑的工作原理以及它们是否有情感。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.(对于许多动物来说，玩耍通常被视为一种对它们以后生活中必须处理的事情的练习。)”可知，人们普遍认为动物的玩耍行为是一种练习形式。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.(他想知道它们是否在为奖励而玩。)”和第四段中的“To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment.(为了验证这一想法，他和其他科学家一起进行了一项新的实验。)”可知，Lars Chittka博士进行这项新实验是为了验证大黄蜂是否会在没有奖励的情况下玩耍。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.(它们对球不能移动的一侧不太感兴趣，但它们经常去有滚动球的一侧。)”可知，与不能滚动的球相比，大黄蜂更喜欢能滚动的球。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.(现在科学家们报告说，大黄蜂似乎也知道同样的事情，这使大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过一项实验说明大黄蜂会玩球，这使得大黄蜂成为已知的第一种玩耍的昆虫。故选C。 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Beat Boredom over the Summer The first week of summer is wonderful.

We had a special event each year: the music festival at a well-known theme park. It was an opportunity for us to showcase our talents and enjoy the pleasure of the park. To make this event meaningful, we organized a fundraising campaign, selling chocolate bars throughout our community. It was a simple plan but one that required us to connect with our neighbors and ask for their support. There were always heart- warming encounters. One sunny afternoon, I approached a neighbor’s home. The lady who answered the door greeted me with a smile and, after hearing about our cause, she decided to support us by purchasing several bars. As we were nearing the end, the lady’s little girl, who was about three or four years old and had been watching our actions, ran out. The little girl came back with a bill in her hand, a little dirt on it. She was eager to give it to me and said, “I want to be like Mom and support you.” The lady was surprised and said it was saved by the girl herself. Her lovely face and eager eyes made it hard for me to say no. I tried to explain to her that her mother was already buying some chocolate, but she was determined. Neither her mother nor I could dissuade (劝阻) her from her newfound task of handing me the dollar bill. I knew that I couldn’t put her mother in a position to buy more chocolate than she had originally intended. I couldn’t accept the little girl’s money. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, inspiration struck! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl’s eyes widened with joy as she grasped the bill and the chocolate bar _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, inspiration struck! With a quick look at the mother, I decided to take a more playful approach. I changed my attitude and accepted the dollar bill from the little girl, expressing my heartfelt thanks for her generosity. I gave her a chocolate bar, then quickly reached into my pocket, pulled out another bill, and handed it to her. I smiled and said, “Here’s your change!” The little girl’s eyes widened with joy as she grasped the bill and the chocolate bar. She was completely satisfied with the deal and believed that she had truly contributed to our fundraising efforts. With a cheerful wave, she ran back into the house, likely to return the dollar to its hiding place or to find a new one to continue her charitable work. The brief meeting left all of us with smiles on our faces. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在高中时期参与学校乐队的一个特别活动——在主题公园举办音乐节，并为此组织了一个筹集资金的活动。在这个过程中，作者遇到了一个可爱的小女孩，她看到作者们在卖巧克力以筹集资金，便拿着自己存的一美元来支持作者们的活动。尽管作者和女孩的母亲都试图劝阻她，但她仍然坚持要给作者那笔钱。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我灵机一动！”可知，第一段可描写作者想法的具体内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“小女孩接过钞票和巧克力，眼睛睁得大大的，充满了喜悦。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩的反应和作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：接受钞票——表示感谢——给与巧克力和找零——小女孩感到满意——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 决定做某事：decide to do sth/be determined to do sth 给某人某物：give sb sth/offer sb sth 对……做出贡献：contribute to/make a contribution to 情绪类 感谢：thank/be grateful 对……感到满意：be satisfied with/be content with 令人愉快的：cheerful/pleasant 【点睛】【高分句型1】I changed my attitude and accepted the dollar bill from the little girl, expressing my heartfelt thanks for her generosity.
