Read on to discover a few of the animals which we have lost for our behaviors. Dodo They were once abundant on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Larger than turkeys, dodos weighed about 23 kg (about 50 pounds) and had blue- gray plumage and a large head. Portuguese sailors discovered them around 1507. These and subsequent sailors quickly killed the dodo population as an easy source of fresh meat for their voyages. The later introduction of monkeys, pigs, and rats to the island proved disastrous to the birds as the mammals fed on their eggs. The last dodo was killed in 1681. Sadly, very few scientific descriptions or museum specimens (样本) exist. Steller’s Sea Cow Discovered in 1741, Steller’s sea cows once inhabited the near- shore areas of the Komandor Islands in the Bering Sea. Much larger than present- day manatees and dugongs, Steller’s sea cows reached a length of 9-10 meters and weighed around 10 tons. They floated at the surface of the coastal waters but unfortunately had little ability to sink. This made them easy targets for Russian seal hunter. Killing was often wasteful and the species was exterminated (灭绝) by 1768, less than 30 years after it was first discovered. No preserved specimens exist today. Passenger Pigeon The passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction in the early 1900s. Billions of these birds once inhabited eastern North America. As American settlers pressed westward, passenger pigeons were killed by the millions yearly for their meat and shipped by railway carloads for sale in city markets. Hunters often destroyed their nesting grounds and entire colonies in a single breeding season. From 1870 the decline of the species became dramatic. The last known passenger pigeon, named Martha, died on Sept.1,1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio. 21. Which of the following statements is true about dodos? A. They were believed to have a short history with less than 170 years. B. Portuguese sailors found them in the 16th century during voyages. C. Animals like monkeys and pigs didn’t threaten dodos’ reproduction. D. They were bigger than turkeys and heavier than Steller’s sea cows. 22. Why were Steller’s sea cows effortlessly hunted? A. Because they were large enough to be spotted by hunters. B. Because they were unable to dive themselves in the water. C. Because they were regarded as prizes by Russian sailors. D. Because they floated at the water surface independently. 23. What do the three animals have in common? A. Human factors speeded up their extermination. B. They all disappeared before the 19th century. C. No preserved specimens of them exist today. D. Their habitats were all in the ocean. B Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age. With five world championships and three Olympic gold medals, including her stunning performance in Paris, Quan is a standout even among China’s dominant diving team, which captured nearly all the gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives. Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. She was discovered in 2014 by coach Chen Huaming, who recognized her jumping ability. By the age of 10, she joined Zhanjiang Sports School, and by 11, she had made it to the Guangdong provincial team. Quan admitted she wasn’t strong in academics but found confidence in diving. Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection. Quan quickly rose to prominence, winning gold at the Guangdong Junior Championships in 2018 and 2019. By 2020, she was securing national titles and beating world champions. At just 14, she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, setting a new Olympic record. Despite her success, Quan remains humble. After her Olympic victory, she celebrated by eating “Latiao”, her favorite snack, and expressed her dream of owning a supermarket. She’s also a fan of Winter Olympian Eileen Gu, showing her youthful spirit despite her elite status in the sport. Quan is both China’s diving queen and a fun-loving teenager enjoying life while making history. 24. Why does the author mention the term “water splash disappearance technique”? A. To explain how Quan’s technique developed after years of training. B. To show the difficulty of diving, which Quan struggled with early on. C. To emphasize Quan’s exceptional skill that has caught global attention. D. To introduce Quan’s new technique as her weapon to win in competitions. 25. What does the article suggest about Quan’s family background? A. Quan came from a poor family that failed to support her studies. B. Quan’s reduced family situation worsened after her mother’s accident. C. Quan’s family faced issues when diving expenses became too high. D. Quan improved her family’s finances by joining Zhejiang Sports School. 26. What can we learn about Quan from the comment of her coach? A. Quan’s success is mostly due to advanced training methods. B. Quan’s outstanding raw talent requires little effort to perfect. C. Quan’s academic performance matches her excellence in diving skills. D. Quan’s hard work and pursuit of perfection are the keys to her success. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Quan Hongchan: A Rising Young Diving Champion B. Quan Hongchan: The Star Who Conquered Academics C. Quan’s Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Big Dreams D. Water Splash Disappearance: China’s New Diving Technique C The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But electric vehicle s require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). Adam Simon, professor of earth and environmental studies at the University of Michigan, examined 120 years of global data from mining companies and calculated how much copper the US electricity infrastructure (基础设施) and the US vehicles would need to upgrade to renewable energy, finding that the copper needs would exceed what copper mines can produce at the current rate. The shortfall is in part because of the lengthy permitting process for mining companies, which averages around 20 years. To electrify the global vehicle fleet, six new large mines must be operational annually over the next decade, with 40% of new production used to grid upgrades. “I’ve got solar panels, batteries, and an electric vehicle,” Simon says. “I’m fully on board with the energy transition. However, it needs to be done in a way that’s achievable.” Instead of completely electrifying the US vehicles the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyot a Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? “Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says. The study highlights that significant progress can be made to reduce emissions in the United States. However, the current emphasis on renewable energy technology producing exceeds copper production capabilities. A mindset shift among environmentalists and policymakers towards mining is crucial to bridge this gap and ensure a sustainable energy transition. 28. What is a challenge to promote The Inflation Reduction Act? A. High cost of grid upgrades. B. Limited availability of copper. C. Great shortage of electric cars. D. Lack of charging infrastructure. 29. How does Simon feel about fully electrifying vehicles in the coming decade? A. Confident. B. Indifferent. C. Certain. D. Skeptical. 30. Why is Toyota Prius mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To advocate the use of hybrid vehicles. B. To highlight the popularity of Toyota cars. C. To criticize the environmental impact of Tesla. D. To prove Toyota Prius is better than other vehicles. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A solution to copper shortages. B. A bottleneck in energy transition. C. An advantage of electric vehicles. D. An appeal on energy conservation. D That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”. In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives. “The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.” What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition. Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids. As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes. B. The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing. C. Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes. D. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem. 33. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes? A. OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food. B. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes. C. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation. D. The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA. 34. Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”? A. Restructure. B. Register. C. Reflect. D. Rebuild. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes. B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change. C. OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes. D. OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used. 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。 Confidence is the capacity to convey your thoughts, emotions, and needs with both directness and respect.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025(上)12月月度质量监测 高三英语 本试卷满分150分 考试时间120分钟 【命题组织单位：辽宁沈文新高考研究联盟】 第一部分 听力(共两节) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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】 When will the woman go to see her dentist?

Read on to discover a few of the animals which we have lost for our behaviors. Dodo They were once abundant on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Larger than turkeys, dodos weighed about 23 kg (about 50 pounds) and had blue- gray plumage and a large head. Portuguese sailors discovered them around 1507. These and subsequent sailors quickly killed the dodo population as an easy source of fresh meat for their voyages. The later introduction of monkeys, pigs, and rats to the island proved disastrous to the birds as the mammals fed on their eggs. The last dodo was killed in 1681. Sadly, very few scientific descriptions or museum specimens (样本) exist. Steller’s Sea Cow Discovered in 1741, Steller’s sea cows once inhabited the near- shore areas of the Komandor Islands in the Bering Sea. Much larger than present- day manatees and dugongs, Steller’s sea cows reached a length of 9-10 meters and weighed around 10 tons. They floated at the surface of the coastal waters but unfortunately had little ability to sink. This made them easy targets for Russian seal hunter. Killing was often wasteful and the species was exterminated (灭绝) by 1768, less than 30 years after it was first discovered. No preserved specimens exist today. Passenger Pigeon The passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction in the early 1900s. Billions of these birds once inhabited eastern North America. As American settlers pressed westward, passenger pigeons were killed by the millions yearly for their meat and shipped by railway carloads for sale in city markets. Hunters often destroyed their nesting grounds and entire colonies in a single breeding season. From 1870 the decline of the species became dramatic. The last known passenger pigeon, named Martha, died on Sept.1,1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio. 21. Which of the following statements is true about dodos? A. They were believed to have a short history with less than 170 years. B. Portuguese sailors found them in the 16th century during voyages. C. Animals like monkeys and pigs didn’t threaten dodos’ reproduction. D. They were bigger than turkeys and heavier than Steller’s sea cows. 22. Why were Steller’s sea cows effortlessly hunted? A. Because they were large enough to be spotted by hunters. B Because they were unable to dive themselves in the water. C. Because they were regarded as prizes by Russian sailors. D. Because they floated at the water surface independently. 23. What do the three animals have in common? A. Human factors speeded up their extermination. B. They all disappeared before the 19th century. C. No preserved specimens of them exist today. D. Their habitats were all in the ocean. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于人类的行为导致三种动物——渡渡鸟、斯特拉海牛和旅鸽的灭绝。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Dodo部分“Portuguese sailors discovered them around 1507.(葡萄牙水手在1507年左右发现了它们。)”可知，葡萄牙水手是在16世纪的航行中发现了渡渡鸟。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Steller’s Sea Cow部分“Much larger than present- day manatees and dugongs, Steller’s sea cows reached a length of 9-10 meters and weighed around 10 tons. They floated at the surface of the coastal waters but unfortunately had little ability to sink. This made them easy targets for Russian seal hunter.(斯特拉的海牛比现在的海牛和儒艮大得多，身长9-10米，体重约10吨。它们漂浮在沿海水域的表面，但不幸的是，它们几乎没有沉没的能力。这使它们成为俄罗斯海豹猎人的容易攻击目标。)”可知，斯特拉海牛因为无法在水中潜水而容易被捕猎。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Read on to discover a few of the animals which we have lost for our behaviors.(继续阅读以了解一些因我们的行为而失去的动物。)”可知，文中三种动物的共同点在于人类活动加速了它们的灭绝。故选A。 B Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age. With five world championships and three Olympic gold medals, including her stunning performance in Paris, Quan is a standout even among China’s dominant diving team, which captured nearly all the gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives. Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. She was discovered in 2014 by coach Chen Huaming, who recognized her jumping ability. By the age of 10, she joined Zhanjiang Sports School, and by 11, she had made it to the Guangdong provincial team. Quan admitted she wasn’t strong in academics but found confidence in diving. Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection. Quan quickly rose to prominence, winning gold at the Guangdong Junior Championships in 2018 and 2019. By 2020, she was securing national titles and beating world champions. At just 14, she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, setting a new Olympic record. Despite her success, Quan remains humble. After her Olympic victory, she celebrated by eating “Latiao”, her favorite snack, and expressed her dream of owning a supermarket. She’s also a fan of Winter Olympian Eileen Gu, showing her youthful spirit despite her elite status in the sport. Quan is both China’s diving queen and a fun-loving teenager enjoying life while making history. 24. Why does the author mention the term “water splash disappearance technique”? A. To explain how Quan’s technique developed after years of training. B. To show the difficulty of diving, which Quan struggled with early on. C. To emphasize Quan’s exceptional skill that has caught global attention. D. To introduce Quan’s new technique as her weapon to win in competitions. 25. What does the article suggest about Quan’s family background? A. Quan came from a poor family that failed to support her studies. B. Quan’s reduced family situation worsened after her mother’s accident. C. Quan’s family faced issues when diving expenses became too high. D. Quan improved her family’s finances by joining Zhejiang Sports School. 26. What can we learn about Quan from the comment of her coach? A. Quan’s success is mostly due to advanced training methods. B. Quan’s outstanding raw talent requires little effort to perfect. C. Quan’s academic performance matches her excellence in diving skills. D. Quan’s hard work and pursuit of perfection are the keys to her success. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Quan Hongchan: A Rising Young Diving Champion B. Quan Hongchan: The Star Who Conquered Academics C. Quan’s Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Big Dreams D. Water Splash Disappearance: China’s New Diving Technique 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国跳水运动员全红婵的成长历程、成就以及对生活的热爱。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives. (她的跳水技术令人印象深刻，以至于人们创造了“水花消失术”这个中国术语来形容她近乎无水花的跳水。)”可推出，作者引用“水花消失术”是为了强调全红婵吸引全球注意的卓越跳水技能。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. (全出生在广东的一个小村庄，她的家庭面临着经济困难，尤其是在她母亲出事故后。)”可知，全红婵的家庭经济状况不佳，尤其是母亲出事故后，由此可推测出，她的母亲出事故后，她的家庭状况恶化了。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection. (她的教练何威仪称赞她比其他人更努力，不断追求完美。)”可推出，全红婵的努力和追求完美是其成功的关键。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age. (很少有人能在跳台上挑战全红婵。年仅17岁的她已经成为中国的跳水明星，她的技能远远超过了她的年龄。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要围绕全红婵展开，介绍了这个中国跳水明星的成长历程、成就以及对生活的热爱。由此可推测出，A项“全红婵：一位崭露头角的年轻跳水冠军”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 C The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But electric vehicle s require a chemical element copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). Adam Simon, professor of earth and environmental studies at the University of Michigan, examined 120 years of global data from mining companies and calculated how much copper the US electricity infrastructure (基础设施) and the US vehicles would need to upgrade to renewable energy, finding that the copper needs would exceed what copper mines can produce at the current rate. The shortfall is in part because of the lengthy permitting process for mining companies, which averages around 20 years. To electrify the global vehicle fleet, six new large mines must be operational annually over the next decade, with 40% of new production used to grid upgrades. “I’ve got solar panels, batteries, and an electric vehicle,” Simon says. “I’m fully on board with the energy transition. However, it needs to be done in a way that’s achievable.” Instead of completely electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyot a Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? “Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says. The study highlights that significant progress can be made to reduce emissions in the United States. However, the current emphasis on renewable energy technology producing exceeds copper production capabilities. A mindset shift among environmentalists and policymakers towards mining is crucial to bridge this gap and ensure a sustainable energy transition. 28. What is a challenge to promote The Inflation Reduction Act? A. High cost of grid upgrades. B. Limited availability of copper. C. Great shortage of electric cars. D. Lack of charging infrastructure. 29. How does Simon feel about fully electrifying vehicles in the coming decade? A. Confident. B. Indifferent. C. Certain. D. Skeptical. 30. Why is Toyota Prius mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To advocate the use of hybrid vehicles. B. To highlight the popularity of Toyota cars. C. To criticize the environmental impact of Tesla. D. To prove Toyota Prius is better than other vehicles. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A solution to copper shortages. B. A bottleneck in energy transition. C. An advantage of electric vehicles. D. An appeal on energy conservation. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了能源转型中所需要的铜金属短缺的问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act calls for 100% of cars produced to be electric vehicles by 2035. But an electric vehicle requires a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline-powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid.(《2022年通货膨胀减少法案》要求到2035年生产的汽车100%为电动汽车。但一辆电动汽车需要的化学元素铜是汽油车的三到五倍，更不用说升级电网所需的铜了。)”可知，2022 年颁布的法案要在 2035 年前实现全电车化，但电车所需要用到的铜资源比油车要多出3到5倍，更别提电网升级还需要额外的铜资源，由此可知铜资源非常短缺，阻碍了法案的推行。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““Renewable energy technologies, clean water, wastewater, electricity— it cannot exist without copper. So we then end up with tension between how much copper we need to build infrastructure in less developed countries and how much copper we need for the energy transition,” Simon says.(可再生能源技术、清洁水、废水、电力——没有铜就不可能存在。因此，在欠发达国家建设基础设施需要多少铜和能源转型需要多少铜之间，我们最终会出现紧张局面。” Simon说。)”可知，Simon是支持能源转型的，但铜资源短缺这一实际问题让Simon 对于在未来十年时间内实现全面电车化这件事情是持怀疑态度的。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“Instead of fully electrifying the US vehicles, the researchers suggest focusing on producing hybrid vehicles. A Toyota Prius, for example, actually has a slightly better impact on climate than a Tesla. Rather than produce 100 million battery electric vehicles globally each year, would it be more practical to focus on building 20 million hybrid ones? (研究人员建议把重点放在生产混合动力汽车上，而不是让美国汽车完全电动化。例如，丰田普锐斯对气候的影响实际上比特斯拉稍好一些。与其每年在全球生产1亿辆纯电动汽车，不如专注于生产2000万辆混合动力汽车更实际吗？)”可知，丰田普锐斯是混动车，其对气候的影响比纯电车 Tesla 还要小一些，由此可知作者提到 丰田普锐斯的目的是为了证明混动车相对于电车的优势，故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But electric vehicle s require a chemical element, copper, three to five times more than their gasoline- powered counterparts, not to mention the copper required for upgrades to the electric grid (电网). (但是电动汽车需要的化学元素铜是汽油车的三到五倍，更不用说升级电网所需的铜了。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了能源转型中所遇到的瓶颈——铜金属短缺的问题，故选B。 D That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”. In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives. “The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.” What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition. Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids. As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes. B. The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing. C. Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes. D. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem. 33. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes? A. OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food. B. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes. C. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation. D. The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA. 34. Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”? A. Restructure. B. Register. C. Reflect. D. Rebuild. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes. B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change. C. OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes. D. OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是人造食品染料对健康的潜在危害，以及消费者压力和科学研究如何推动行业变革。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn.(人造食品色素不健康并不是新闻。一些最常见的添加剂被用来给所有的东西上色，众所周知，它们会影响一些孩子的学习能力。)”可知，从第一段我们能了解到人工食用染料的使用正在明显增加。需要注意易混项C项，时态不正确，通过第一段可知，消费者的压力将来可能会减少人工食用色素的使用，但是不是当下。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.(使OEHHA报告改变游戏规则的是，监管机构与科学家和倡导团体站在同一战线上。“这在很大程度上是因为报告的质量，”Lefferts说，他是请愿书的10个原始签署人之一。)”可知，OEHHA有力量改变人工食用色素的使用是因为这份出色的报告让科学家和倡导团体站在OEHHA的一边。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.(2016年，该公司开始使用姜黄、红木和红辣椒代替黄5和黄6。)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“随着越来越多的研究浮出水面，消费者的压力促使企业重新配制产品”，划线词的意思是“调整，改变”，和restructure意思相近。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes“cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.(这种情况可能很快就会改变，部分原因是日益增长的消费者压力。此外，加利福尼亚州环境健康危害评估办公室（OEHHA）编写的一份报告得出结论，合成食品色素“会导致或加重一些儿童的神经行为问题”。)”可知，本文主要讲的是人造食品染料对健康的潜在危害，以及消费者压力和科学研究如何推动行业变革，因此主旨是B选项“The use of artificial food dye s may soon change.(人工食用色素的使用可能很快就会改变)”。故选B。 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。 Confidence is the capacity to convey your thoughts, emotions, and needs with both directness and respect.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand towards Chips. My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated. Memories of past fear surged through my mind, but I pushed them aside. I closed my eyes briefly and forced myself to touch him. To my surprise, instead of barking or pulling away, Chips simply wagged his tail and leaned into my hand. The softness of his fur under my fingers was comforting, and a small smile crept onto my face. I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. Chips wagged his tail, his eyes filled with kindness, not aggression. I sat back, watching him settle at my feet, and the weight of the fear I had carried for so long began to lift. My mom smiled, clearly noticing the change in me, and I smile back. I had thought that all dogs wanted to hurt me, but Chips had proven me wrong. For the first time since the attack, I felt like I could let go of my fear and start to trust again. Only then did I realize that to conquer fear is the beginning of growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一年级的时候被一只黑狗咬伤，这导致他有了严重的噩梦和对狗的极度恐惧，甚至影响到了他的日常生活和学习，作者的母亲注意到了他的问题，决定帮助他克服对狗的恐惧。她邀请小作者和她一起去见她的朋友Emma和她家的狗Chips，作者去了以后仍然感到非常害怕，但他也意识到这只狗和之前咬他的狗不同。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈温柔的鼓励下，我知道我必须试一试。”可知，第一段可描写作者在母亲的温柔鼓励下，鼓起勇气尝试与狗Chips接触的过程和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续拍着他，感觉我的想法发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者在与狗Chips进一步互动后，内心发生的变化以及这一变化带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：作者伸出手——强迫自己碰狗——狗很友好——狗坐在作者脚边——作者笑了——作者放下恐惧——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/stick out ②强迫：force/compel ③放开：let go of/let loose 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊讶：to my surprise/to my astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated.
