Here are some of the most beautiful views in Australia. Mindil Beach, Darwin Some of the most impressive Australian sunsets can be witnessed from Mindil Beach as the sun dips below the Arafura Sea. Beautiful colors of pink, orange, blue and purple paint the sky each night. From April to October, you can enjoy the festive nightlife of the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets which celebrate the wonderful view each night. Sydney Harbor, Sydney It’s a view known as one of the most popular shots of Australia. The famous Sydney Harbor can be best experienced from a bird’s eye view, one you can experience yourself if you have the nerve to climb 143 meters above sea level to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It will be an amazing view that you’ll remember for a lifetime. Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay The Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most easterly point in the entire country. Each year more than 500, 000 people visit the lighthouse which rises up above Byron Bay offering striking views of the bay, the beach and even an opportunity for whale watching when the season is right. Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays For many, the typical Australian image is of a beautiful beach with soft sand and blue waters all around. The 7-kilometer area of sand known as Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island is about as beautiful of a beach view as one can get anywhere in the country. The beach is known for its powder white sand. The sand also doesn’t keep heat meaning that walking barefoot on the beach is comfortable even at the hottest points of the day. Whitehaven can only be accessed by boat, making this a picture worthy of any postcard. 21. What can you enjoy at Mindil Beach? A. Beautiful sunrises. B. The festive nightlife. C. A famous lighthouse. D. Colorful architecture. 22. Which place can offer you a chance to see whales? A. Mindil Beach. B. The Sydney Harbor Bridge. C. Whitehaven Beach. D. The Cape Byron Lighthouse. 23. What makes Whitehaven Beach unique? A. The sand. B. The climate. C. The transport. D. The seawater. B Facebook was running my life. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often. It is not an addiction any more. 24. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 25. The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. to close B. to update C. to keep D. to check 26. What did the author do to change her life? A. She tried to be a good mother. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She planned two vacations a year. D. She went to the gym as often as she could. 27. What did the author think of her break from Facebook? A. It stopped her getting news. B. It distanced her from her friends. C. It helped her contact with the family. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. C Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania published a report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening. The report said many different kinds of foods, from blueberries to beans, can be grown in the shade. Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day. Tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. Plants that produce root crops, such as carrots and beets, need from six to eight hours of sunlight every day. But leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, need only six hours of sunlight a day. The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. This is especially important when the plants grow to different heights. Nut trees such as filbert, hazelnut and yellowhorn produce well with only sun in the morning. Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight. In the United States, blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hard y kiwi grows well in the shade. Many herbs grow well without much sun. Mint plants, for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage, chamomile and several kinds of thyme. Mr Brown, the owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade trees. He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops. But then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. 28. Rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction so that the plants can . A. grow to the same height B. share the same amount of light C. grow well in the shade D. get enough water 29. Which kind of plant should NOT be grown in the shade? A. Blueberries. B. Beans. C. Sage. D. Tomatoes. 30. According to Mr Brown what is a good way to provide more sun for crops in his garden? A. Cutting down all shade trees. B. Hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. C. Removing the leafy vegetables. D. Putting plants which need a lot of sunlight in containers. 31. What is the text most likely taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A government report. D. A story book. D A new study of the elderly has found napping (小睡) too much in daytime may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital have reported the relationship between the two: napping too much in daytime predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in napping during aging. “Daytime sleep behavior of older adults is often ignored, and an agreement for napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li, one of the researchers. “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also a nap — for tracking the health of the elderly. The researchers recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once, and most of them were subjective and questionnaire—based. In the new study, more than 1,000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided with Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After nap episodes were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated. The results have suggested that napping too much in daytime may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in napping may be a sign of worsening or unfavourable clinical development of the disease. Researchers have acknowledged that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠描记) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were the elderly, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to young people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in a nap can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s. “We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.” 32. What does the new study of the elderly show? A. The link between a nap and Alzheimer’s. B. The causes and symptoms of Alzheimer’s. C. The proper amounts of daytime sleep. D. The ways to improve the quality of sleep. 33. How did the researchers conduct the new study? A. By asking about the participants’ ideas. B. By carrying out a particular questionnaire. C. By tracking participants’ sleep with a device. D. By assessing participants calculating tasks. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. The method of the new study is perfect. B. The findings are suitable for all ages. C. Further studies should be carried out. D. Intervention can reduce the risk of Alzheirmer’s. 35. What does Kun Hu talk about? A. The patterns of daytime sleep. B. The way to make sleep schedules. C. The causes of brain changes. D. The significance of the new study. 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。 Many people’s usual practice when preparing fruit and vegetables is to peel them. ____36____ There are important nutrients in the peel. Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and many other beneficial plant chemicals, such as substances that protect your cells from harm. ____37____ So could consuming fruit and vegetable peel help with this issue by adding important nutrients to people’s diets? ____38____ For example, plenty of nutritionally important vitamins and minerals are found in the peel of some vegetables: wild carrots, sweet potatoes and white potatoes. And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more vitamin C, 20% more calcium (钙) and 85% more fiber than peeled ones. Given the nutrient content of peel, why do people peel fruit and vegetables? Some must be peeled as the outer parts are not suitable for eating or will cause harm, such as bananas, oranges, melons, pineapples, mangoes and onions. But the peel of apples, potatoes, carrots and cucumbers can be eaten. ____39____ Some people peel fruit and vegetables because they are concerned about pesticides on the surface. But most of the residue (残留物) can be removed by washing. ____40____ Lists of pesticide content of fruit and vegetables are available in some countries — for example, the Pesticide Action Network produces one for the UK. This can help you decide which fruit and vegetables to peel and which peels can be eaten. A. Surely, it’s worth a try. B. It can certainly contribute. C. But often, it’s not necessary. D. However, many people peel them anyway. E. Cooking techniques, such as boiling and steaming, can also reduce it. F. They can help to reduce waste and increase their fruit and vegetable intake. G. Not consuming enough of these nutrient-rich foods is linked to an increased risk of some diseases. 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。 Ms. Brooks was a high school teacher in a less developed town in Mexico.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White has promised to offer prizes to those who will get a score of 100. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I will mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers. Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today. Peter, David and Marty got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it up high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong. “What am I to do? ”Peter said to himself. “If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back.” Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The class burst into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 达旗一中2024-2025秋季学期高二年级第三次学情诊断 英语 总分：150分;考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的班级、姓名填写在答题卡上，并在指定位置粘贴条形码。 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涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，应使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔将答案写到答题卡上，且必须在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，在试卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 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】 Where are the speakers going this evening?

Here are some of the most beautiful views in Australia. Mindil Beach, Darwin Some of the most impressive Australian sunsets can be witnessed from Mindil Beach as the sun dips below the Arafura Sea. Beautiful colors of pink, orange, blue and purple paint the sky each night. From April to October, you can enjoy the festive nightlife of the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets which celebrate the wonderful view each night. Sydney Harbor, Sydney It’s a view known as one of the most popular shots of Australia. The famous Sydney Harbor can be best experienced from a bird’s eye view, one you can experience yourself if you have the nerve to climb 143 meters above sea level to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It will be an amazing view that you’ll remember for a lifetime. Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay The Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most easterly point in the entire country. Each year more than 500, 000 people visit the lighthouse which rises up above Byron Bay offering striking views of the bay, the beach and even an opportunity for whale watching when the season is right. Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays For many, the typical Australian image is of a beautiful beach with soft sand and blue waters all around. The 7-kilometer area of sand known as Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island is about as beautiful of a beach view as one can get anywhere in the country. The beach is known for its powder white sand. The sand also doesn’t keep heat meaning that walking barefoot on the beach is comfortable even at the hottest points of the day. Whitehaven can only be accessed by boat, making this a picture worthy of any postcard. 21. What can you enjoy at Mindil Beach? A. Beautiful sunrises. B. The festive nightlife. C. A famous lighthouse. D. Colorful architecture. 22. Which place can offer you a chance to see whales? A. Mindil Beach. B. The Sydney Harbor Bridge. C. Whitehaven Beach. D. The Cape Byron Lighthouse. 23. What makes Whitehaven Beach unique? A. The sand. B. The climate. C. The transport. D. The seawater. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是澳大利亚四处最美的景色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mindil Beach, Darwin 部分中的“From April to October, you can enjoy the festive nightlife of the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets which celebrate the wonderful view each night.(从4月到10月，你可以在著名的Mindil海滩日落市场享受节日的夜生活，每晚都可以欣赏到美妙的景色。)”可知，从4月到10月可以在著名的Mindil海滩日落市场享受节日的夜生活。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay部分中的“Each year more than 500, 000 people visit the lighthouse which rises up above Byron Bay offering striking views of the bay, the beach and even an opportunity for whale watching when the season is right.(每年有超过50万人参观耸立在拜伦湾上空的灯塔，在这里可以欣赏到海湾和海滩的壮丽景色，甚至在合适的季节还可以观赏鲸鱼。)”可知，在这里可以欣赏到海湾和海滩壮丽的景色，甚至在合适的季节可以有机会观赏鲸鱼，所以在Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay有机会观赏鲸鱼。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays 部分中的“The beach is known for its powder white sand. The sand also doesn’t keep heat meaning that walking barefoot on the beach is comfortable even at the hottest points of the day.(这个海滩以其粉白色的沙子而闻名。沙子也不保温，这意味着即使在一天中最热的时候，赤脚走在海滩上也很舒服。)”可知，在Whitehaven Beach的沙子不会保温，这就意味着在一天中最热的时候，赤脚走在沙滩上也很舒服，所以使Whitehaven Beach独特的地方是沙滩上的沙子。故选A项。 B Facebook was running my life. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often. It is not an addiction any more. 24. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 25. The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. to close B. to update C. to keep D. to check 26. What did the author do to change her life? A. She tried to be a good mother. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She planned two vacations a year. D. She went to the gym as often as she could. 27. What did the author think of her break from Facebook? A. It stopped her getting news. B. It distanced her from her friends. C. It helped her contact with the family. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者一次在Facebook上传了照片后，儿子问作者得到了多少赞，从而让作者意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。于是作者关闭了Facebook账号，开始重新培养新的健康习惯，这让她重新发现了生活中的美好，更加珍惜当下。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. (但真正让我在Facebook上崩溃的是，我发布了一张照片，五分钟后，我儿子问我这张照片有多少个“赞”。他的问题是一个警钟。)”以及第三段中“I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. (我忘记了接受和认可需要来自内心，不知不觉地给他树立了一个坏榜样。)”可知，作者儿子的问题让作者开始意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. (为了给我儿子树立一个更健康的榜样，我deactivated我的Facebook账户。)”和第六段中“I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. (我已经养成了每天多次查看Facebook的习惯，所以我必须养成一些新的习惯。)”可知，为了给儿子树立一个健康的榜样，作者关闭了自己的Facebook账号。后文作者决定养成新的习惯也证明了这一点。故deactivated意思为“关闭”。A. to close关闭；B. to update更新；C. to keep保持；D. to check检查。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes. (我已经养成了每天多次查看Facebook的习惯，所以我必须养成一些新的习惯。我随身带着一本小说和一本填字游戏书。我重新发现了编织。我去健身房上瑜伽课。)”可知，作者养成了一些健康的习惯来改变她的生活。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. (我觉得自己完全活在当下。这次休息让我对自己、我的家人、我的家和我的生活感觉更好。)”可知，我作者觉得她离开Facebook的行为给了她时间去发现生活中的美好。故选D。 C Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania published a report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening. The report said many different kinds of foods, from blueberries to beans, can be grown in the shade. Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day. Tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. Plants that produce root crops, such as carrots and beets, need from six to eight hours of sunlight every day. But leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, need only six hours of sunlight a day. The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. This is especially important when the plants grow to different heights. Nut trees such as filbert, hazelnut and yellowhorn produce well with only sun in the morning. Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight. In the United States, blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hard y kiwi grows well in the shade. Many herbs grow well without much sun. Mint plants, for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage, chamomile and several kinds of thyme. Mr Brown, the owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade trees. He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops. But then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. Instead of cutting trees he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. 28. Rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction so that the plants can . A. grow to the same height B. share the same amount of light C. grow well in the shade D. get enough water 29. Which kind of plant should NOT be grown in the shade? A. Blueberries. B. Beans. C. Sage. D. Tomatoes. 30. According to Mr Brown what is a good way to provide more sun for crops in his garden? A. Cutting down all shade trees. B. Hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. C. Removing the leafy vegetables. D. Putting plants which need a lot of sunlight in containers. 31. What is the text most likely taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A government report. D. A story book. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同的植物生长需要不同的光照时间，农民应该为不同的植物选择合适的地方。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. (例如，一排排蔬菜应该东西向种植。这样，当太阳从头顶经过时，所有的植物都会接收到等量的光线)”可知，一排排蔬菜应该东西向种植，这样植物才能分享相同的光量。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. (西红柿、甜瓜、南瓜和辣椒是最需要阳光的食物的一部分)”可知，西红柿是最需要阳光的食物之一。由此可知，西红柿不应该在阴凉处生长。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. (他建议把需要大量阳光的植物，如西红柿，放在容器里，而不是砍伐树木。这样它们就可以随着太阳的移动而移动)”可知，布朗先生认为——为花园里的作物提供更多阳光的好方法是将需要大量阳光的植物放入容器中。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. (农民们经常觉得他们需要大量的阳光才能长出好庄稼。但是很多蔬菜在没有太多阳光的情况下长得很好)”可知，本文主要介绍了一些农业科学知识。由此推知，本文最有可能出自一本科学杂志。故选A项。 D A new study of the elderly has found napping (小睡) too much in daytime may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital have reported the relationship between the two: napping too much in daytime predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in napping during aging. “Daytime sleep behavior of older adults is often ignored, and an agreement for napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li, one of the researchers. “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also a nap — for tracking the health of the elderly. The researchers recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once, and most of them were subjective and questionnaire—based. In the new study, more than 1,000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided with Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After nap episodes were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated. The results have suggested that napping too much in daytime may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in napping may be a sign of worsening or unfavourable clinical development of the disease. Researchers have acknowledged that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠描记) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were the elderly, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to young people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in a nap can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s. “We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.” 32. What does the new study of the elderly show? A. The link between a nap and Alzheimer’s. B. The causes and symptoms of Alzheimer’s. C. The proper amounts of daytime sleep. D. The ways to improve the quality of sleep. 33. How did the researchers conduct the new study? A. By asking about the participants’ ideas. B. By carrying out a particular questionnaire. C. By tracking participants’ sleep with a device. D. By assessing participants calculating tasks. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. The method of the new study is perfect. B. The findings are suitable for all ages. C. Further studies should be carried out. D. Intervention can reduce the risk of Alzheirmer’s. 35. What does Kun Hu talk about? A. The patterns of daytime sleep. B. The way to make sleep schedules. C. The causes of brain changes. D. The significance of the new study. 【答案】32 A 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现老年人白天睡眠过多会增加患阿尔茨海默病的概率。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study of the elderly has found napping (小睡) too much in daytime may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital have reported the relationship between the two: napping too much in daytime predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in napping during aging.(一项针对老年人的新研究发现，白天小睡过多可能会增加患阿尔茨海默病的风险。布莱根妇女医院的研究人员报告了两者之间的关系：白天小睡过多预示着未来患阿尔茨海默氏症的风险增加，而阿尔茨海默氏症的诊断会加速衰老过程中午睡的增加)”可知，新的研究发现了老年人的白天睡眠时间和阿尔茨海默病之间的关系。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the new study, more than 1,000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided with Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days.(在这项新研究中，研究人员为1000多名平均年龄为81岁的人提供了一种类似手表的设备，让他们在手腕上佩戴长达14天的时间)”可知，研究人员的研究方法是通过使用设备跟踪参与者的睡眠。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in a nap can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s.(此外，未来的研究应该测试是否直接干预午睡可以降低患阿尔茨海默氏症的风险)”可知，还需再开展进一步的研究。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”(医学生物动力学项目的资深作者胡坤说：“我们希望引起人们对白天睡眠模式的更多关注，以及患者注意他们的睡眠时间表是否会随着时间的推移而改变的重要性。睡眠变化对大脑内部变化的形成至关重要。”)”可知，Kun Hu主要谈到了这项新研究的意义。故选D。 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。 Many people’s usual practice when preparing fruit and vegetables is to peel them. ____36____ There are important nutrients in the peel. Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and many other beneficial plant chemicals, such as substances that protect your cells from harm. ____37____ So could consuming fruit and vegetable peel help with this issue by adding important nutrients to people’s diets? ____38____ For example, plenty of nutritionally important vitamins and minerals are found in the peel of some vegetables: wild carrots, sweet potatoes and white potatoes. And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more vitamin C, 20% more calcium (钙) and 85% more fiber than peeled ones. Given the nutrient content of peel, why do people peel fruit and vegetables? Some must be peeled as the outer parts are not suitable for eating or will cause harm, such as bananas, oranges, melons, pineapples, mangoes and onions. But the peel of apples, potatoes, carrots and cucumbers can be eaten. ____39____ Some people peel fruit and vegetables because they are concerned about pesticides on the surface. But most of the residue (残留物) can be removed by washing. ____40____ Lists of pesticide content of fruit and vegetables are available in some countries — for example, the Pesticide Action Network produces one for the UK. This can help you decide which fruit and vegetables to peel and which peels can be eaten. A. Surely, it’s worth a try. B. It can certainly contribute. C. But often, it’s not necessary. D. However, many people peel them anyway. E. Cooking techniques, such as boiling and steaming, can also reduce it. F. They can help to reduce waste and increase their fruit and vegetable intake. G. Not consuming enough of these nutrient-rich foods is linked to an increased risk of some diseases. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. B 39. D 40.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White has promised to offer prizes to those who will get a score of 100. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I will mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers. Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today. Peter, David and Marty got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it up high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong. “What am I to do? ”Peter said to himself. “If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back.” Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” 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。 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The class burst into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with s-i instead of t-i.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something ever more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.” The class burst into applause. They stared at him with respect. At that moment, Mr. White said. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us. You did very well in the test by being an honest person”. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peter参加英语拼写测试并获得满分，奖励字典，但在查看试卷时Peter发现自己拼错了一个单词，在诚信与奖品之间他陷入了纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Peter慢慢地举起了手。”可知，第一段可描写Peter鼓起勇气向老师坦白自己拼写错误，并交还了奖品字典。老师对Peter的诚实行为表示赞赏，并向全班同学强调了诚实的重要性。 ②由第二段首句“全班爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写同学们对Peter的诚实行为表示赞扬和尊重。老师再次将字典赠予Peter，以表彰他的诚实。Peter对老师表示感谢，并迫不及待想与母亲分享这一经历。 2.续写线索：Peter坦白错误——交还字典——老师赞赏诚实——同学们鼓掌——老师再次赠予字典——Peter感谢老师——Peter想与母亲分享 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①站起来：stand up/rise to one’s feet ②递：hand/give/pass ③感受到：feel/sense ④盯着：stare at/gaze at 情绪类： ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尊重：respect/admiration ③诚实的：honest/truthful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk.
