Royal Botanic Garden, London, England The Royal Botanic Garden is thought to be the largest one in the world, a 121-hectare site on the edge of London, home to the world’s biggest collection of living plants and more than 8.5 million preserved plant specimens (标本). Its mission is to protect plants for the future of all life on Earth. Designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress, it features a thousand LEDs that light up and create a musical piece! Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The garden stands as a symbol of Brazil’s rich diversity of wildlife, containing over 6,000 species of tropical plants and trees. 40 percent of the site is farmed; the rest is Atlantic Forest spreading up the mountains. It is home to Capuchin monkeys, along with over 140 species of birds, including toucans and white-necked hawks. Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier, France The garden was originally intended for the medical education of student doctors. Lost and remade more than once over the centuries, it does not reduce the importance of either the site or the vision of those who have created it, still faithful to its early purpose as a teaching garden. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, South Africa Its collection of more than 7,000 species mainly consists of local plants in southern Africa. Famous for its Protea Garden, it also has a Medicinal Garden, focusing on African and native uses of plants. Today, the garden’s primary concern is to “defend the exploration, conservation and appreciation of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all South Africans.” 21. What makes the Royal Botanic Gardens stand out? A. Its founder. B. Its location. C. Its large size. D. Its long history. 22. Which garden would you visit if you are interested in animals? A. Royal Botanic Garden. B. Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro. C. Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier. D. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. 23. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the science of growing plants. B. To discuss the history of botanical gardens. C. To display features of famous botanical gardens. D. To describe the architecture of garden buildings. B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received an unusual assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, her then undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize at least ten poems — not for any exam, he claimed, but to prepare them for their unavoidable future living alone. At some point, Caetlin recalled him saying, “you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.” The task was strange, because memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly concentrated on prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened on a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud; sometimes I went through the whole poem, and sometimes I repeated a single part over and over, and by the time my plane landed, I had all 40 lines in my head. The boredom of simple repetition reduces the real charm a poem has. Thus, memorizing a great poem always feels like a crime. But as you run your hands through the book, the lines at last come together again, and the text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry comes down by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific and entirely different from us, expanding our own sense of what we are when we read poems. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 24. What did Robert L. Hass suggest students do? A. Write original poetry. B. Study poetry for exams. C. Read more classical prose works. D. Memorize poems for future loneliness. 25 Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It feels boring and outdated. B. It takes away poems’ beauty. C. It is difficult and requires a lot of time. D. It is strange to read poems on the plane. 26. What can be inferred about the author’s relationship with poetry? A. The author prefers prose to poems. B. The author shows no interest in poems. C. The author finds value in memorizing poems. D. The author memorizes poems to win an award. 27 What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Skeptical. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. C Automating (自动化) food is unlike automating anything else. Food is fundamental to life, so how it’s accessed, prepared and consumed can change societies fundamentally. Automated kitchens aren’t sci-fi visions from Star Trek. The technology is real and global. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, mix cocktails and much more. AI can invent recipes based on whatever a kitchen has in store. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling chefs to be more creative, as well as removing repetitive, boring tasks such as washing the dishes or standing for hours. Not having to cook means being able to spend more time with family or focus on more urgent tasks. For personalized eating, AI can provide countless special diets on demand. However, there are also risks to human well-being. Cooking can be relaxing and provides opportunities for many things: gratitude, creativity, communication, adventure, independence, confidence and more, all of which may be lost if no one needs to cook. Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a safe space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table. The kitchen is also the science lab of the home, so science education could suffer. Can food technology really change society? Yes, just consider the significant impact of the microwave oven (微波炉). With that technology, it was suddenly possible to make a quick meal for just one person, which can be a benefit but also a social destroyer. Concerns about the technology include worse nutrition and health risks. Less obviously, that convenience can also transform eating from a collective, cultural and creative event into a practical act of survival. Instead of working at your desk over a reheated lunch, you might have to walk out and talk to people, as well as enjoy a break from work. There’s something to be said for living more slowly in a society that’s increasingly busy and socially isolated. 28. What can we learn about AI cooking in paragraph 3? A. AI cooking could benefit human health. B. Science education could be negatively affected. C. Creativity and independence could be developed. D. AI cooking could promote parent-child relationship. 29. Why does the author mention microwave oven? A. To emphasize the need for eating with family. B. To reveal how technology can improve nutrition. C. To highlight strengths and weaknesses of food technology. D. To show the positive effects of food technology on society. 30. What does the author suggest people do in modern society? A. Walk out for longer hours. B. Rely heavily on AI kitchens. C. Eat more prepackaged meals. D. Slow down the pace of life. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of food technology. B. The benefits of using robots in cooking. C. The risks of AI kitchens on people’s health. D. The impact of AI kitchens on society and culture. D About one in 10 people worldwide die from stroke (中风), the third leading cause of death globally after heart disease and COVID-19. The number of people who have had a stroke has been rising in the U.S. and worldwide. While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. A new study in the Lancet Neurology reveals more people worldwide are surviving after a stroke, with no increases and even some decreases in strokes among adults over 70 — but increases in strokes in younger adults, particularly those under 55. Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. Although older age is a known risk factor for stroke, prevalence (患病率) did not actually go up in adults aged 65 and older. The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. In plain terms, younger adults still make up a very small proportion of overall strokes, but rates are climbing quickly in these younger groups with no increases seen in older adults. Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. Fortunately, of all the risk factors for stroke, hypertension is also one of the easiest to monitor and change. A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. Richard Temes, a neurologist at Northwell Health in New York, say’s the first step for individuals is understanding their risk, whether from lifestyle or family history. Changing one aspect of lifestyle can have a chain effect. 32. What can be known from Paragraph 1? A. COVID-19 is the deadliest disease globally. B. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. C. There is a tendency for younger adults to develop stroke. D. People suffering from stroke live longer than those who don’t. 33. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing relevant figures. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing supporting reasons. D. By comparing the similarities and differences. 34. What does the underlined word “hypertension” mean in paragraph 5? A. Mental pressure. B. Body temperature. C. High blood pressure. D. Heart disease. 35. Which could serve as the best title for this text? A. Stroke: A Disease on the Rise. B. Stroke: A Younger Trend Worldwide. C. Healthy Lifestyle: Key Factor to Avoid Stroke. D. High Blood Pressure: The Biggest Risk among Adults. 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。 In many workplaces, it’s not unusual to hear people talk about how stressed they are. ____36____ When they tell you they’re too busy or stressed, they are often signaling they’re very important, in high demand, and irreplaceable to their teams or business units. In a recent study, researchers coined this behavior as “stress bragging (吹嘘)”. This term perfectly reflects the double functions of this form of communication. ____37____ Stress bragging allows individuals to highlight their importance while hiding it in a coat of vulnerability (脆弱). Yet, while stress bragging might offer a short-term boost to one’s image, it has far-reaching negative consequences not only for the people bragging but also for others. Bragging about stress signals to others that you might be having difficulty managing your responsibilities. ____38____ Moreover, while expressing stress could theoretically arouse sympathy, bragging about it can make you seem self-centered. ____39____ Perhaps more troubling, it spills over to affect those around them. When people hear others bragging about their stress, their own levels of stress can increase as well. This is known as the stress infection effect and occurs when you are observing someone else’s stress and it causes a similar emotional response in you. So, if stress bragging is so harmful, why are we never bored to do it? The answer lies in the complex relationship between self-promotion and vulnerability. Stress bragging is a way to show one’s devotion and importance without leaving a bad impression of self-importance. ____40____ A. This, in turn, can lead others to doubt your competence. B. They are conveying a desire for help with their stressful work. C. It’s not merely a cry for help but bears a touch of self-promotion. D. This is because it makes your stress seem far more vital than others’. E. Stress bragging doesn’t just negatively affect the people engaging in it. F. For some, it’s a way to highlight their contributions to the organization. G. Only by managing stress well can we create more supportive workplaces. 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。 Last year, as my 9-year-old son, Leo, and I prepared for a mom-son ski trip to Colorado, I came up with a ____41____: say yes to everything.

We started saying yes even before ____45____ our flight at a buffet at the airport. I took a bite of a meatball I had ____46____ before, while Leo tried a pancake once considered “silly”. Guess what? We each rated our new ____47____ as “not bad!”. After a long and tiring flight, we finally landed and got ____48____ in the hotel. Leo suggested we relax in the outdoor hot tub (浴缸). It was a 20-degree day. I hated being cold and wet! When I intended to ____49____, Leo cited and restated our pact (契约) ____50____. Ok, I gave in. It was so ____51____ to feel the cold air, and the warm water in the tub was such a comfort. Despite a difficult ____52____, the experience was a delight as Leo and I ____53____ it together. We had such fun saying yes to everything that we decided to get more of the family on our adventures. What ____54____ as a way to get Leo to try new foods opened up a world of ____55____ for my family at last. 41. A. draft B. theory C. rule D. theme 42.

But each morning I would say, “Mama, can I please have some lunch money or a sandwich instead?” The reply was always the same: “Why? You already have these yummy tacos.” It wasn’t that the tacos weren’t good; it was that some kids called Mexican Americans beaners, so the last thing I needed was to stand out like a big stupid sign. I started going to the very end of the cafeteria, to turn my back, wolf down my tacos in three minutes and then run out. On a cold winter day, I started eating my second taco rather slowly. “Hey, you! What’s that?” A towering girl pointed at the bag ill-intentionally with her fat finger. I was shocked. She grabbed the bag from my hand. “Taco head!” She yelled. In seconds I was surrounded by kids shouting “Taco head! Taco head!” I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. Worse still, my taco flew open and spilt all over my white sweater. I wanted to kick her hard, but I dare not. This nightmare went on until Coach Clarke, the girls’ PE teacher, stopped them and ordered everybody back to their seats. “Sofia,” she said, “don’t pay attention to them. They’re just mean and silly.” She took me to the teachers’ room and helped me clean up. The next morning, Coach Clarke stopped me in the hall. “Sofia, how about we eating lunch together in the cafeteria?” I nodded, not knowing how to refuse such a kindness. When the lunch bell rang, I found Coach Clarke sitting in the middle of the cafeteria. She looked up and waved me over. “Here, Sofia,” she pulled out the chair beside her. “I was saving this chair for you.” I sat down, feeling sick, nervous. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “How about we exchange?” Coach Clark pointed at my lunch box, smiling. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Clark, after that day fewer kids laughed at me about my tacos. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024年湖北云学部分重点高中高二年级12月联考 英语试卷 考试时长：120分钟 满分：150分 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 went on at Harper’s house yesterday?

After a final evaluation by experts, the committee selected winners for one grand prize, two special prizes, three first prizes and numerous individual awards. Xu said he was touched by many moments from the works, ranging from a Swedish artist who dreamed of coming back to Beijing to continue learning about folk art to a Mexican woman who expressed her longing for Beijing in a performance of a Tang Dynasty poem. Stuart Wiggin from the UK uses his unique British sense of humor to tell stories of China through culture, tourism, science, sports and life-themed videos. Liljana Arsovska, a translator from Mexico, also shared her deep connections with Beijing at the award ceremony. 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，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 Let’s explore the splendid botanic gardens of the world. Royal Botanic Garden, London, England The Royal Botanic Garden is thought to be the largest one in the world, a 121-hectare site on the edge of London, home to the world’s biggest collection of living plants and more than 8.5 million preserved plant specimens (标本). Its mission is to protect plants for the future of all life on Earth. Designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress, it features a thousand LEDs that light up and create a musical piece! Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The garden stands as a symbol of Brazil’s rich diversity of wildlife, containing over 6,000 species of tropical plants and trees. 40 percent of the site is farmed; the rest is Atlantic Forest spreading up the mountains. It is home to Capuchin monkeys, along with over 140 species of birds, including toucans and white-necked hawks. Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier, France The garden was originally intended for the medical education of student doctors. Lost and remade more than once over the centuries, it does not reduce the importance of either the site or the vision of those who have created it, still faithful to its early purpose as a teaching garden. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, South Africa Its collection of more than 7,000 species mainly consists of local plants in southern Africa. Famous for its Protea Garden, it also has a Medicinal Garden, focusing on African and native uses of plants. Today, the garden’s primary concern is to “defend the exploration, conservation and appreciation of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all South Africans.” 21. What makes the Royal Botanic Gardens stand out? A. Its founder. B. Its location. C. Its large size. D. Its long history. 22. Which garden would you visit if you are interested in animals? A. Royal Botanic Garden. B. Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro. C. Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier. D. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. 23. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the science of growing plants. B. To discuss the history of botanical gardens. C. To display features of famous botanical gardens. D. To describe the architecture of garden buildings. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23.

Hass, her then undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize at least ten poems — not for any exam, he claimed, but to prepare them for their unavoidable future living alone. At some point, Caetlin recalled him saying, “you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.” The task was strange, because memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly concentrated on prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened on a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud; sometimes I went through the whole poem, and sometimes I repeated a single part over and over, and by the time my plane landed, I had all 40 lines in my head. The boredom of simple repetition reduces the real charm a poem has. Thus, memorizing a great poem always feels like a crime. But as you run your hands through the book, the lines at last come together again, and the text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry comes down by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific and entirely different from us, expanding our own sense of what we are when we read poems. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 24. What did Robert L. Hass suggest students do? A. Write original poetry. B. Study poetry for exams. C. Read more classical prose works. D. Memorize poems for future loneliness. 25. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It feels boring and outdated. B. It takes away poems’ beauty. C. It is difficult and requires a lot of time. D. It is strange to read poems on the plane. 26. What can be inferred about the author’s relationship with poetry? A. The author prefers prose to poems. B. The author shows no interest in poems. C. The author finds value in memorizing poems. D. The author memorizes poems to win an award. 27. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Skeptical. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文讲述了作者在学习的过程中发现背诵诗歌就像打磨和雕琢璞玉，你会发现它真正的魅力。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He instructed each student to memorize at least ten poems — not for any exam, he claimed, but to prepare them for their unavoidable future living alone.(他要求每个学生背诵至少十首诗——不是为了考试，而是为将来不可避免的孤独生活做准备)”可知，Robert L. Hass建议学生们背诗，为将来的孤独生活做准备。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The boredom of simple repetition reduces the real charm a poem has. Thus, memorizing a great poem always feels like a crime.(简单重复的无聊会削弱一首诗的真正魅力。因此，背诵一首伟大的诗总是感觉像一种犯罪)”可知，作者说背诗从一开始就是犯罪，因为它削弱一首诗的真正魅力，带走了诗歌的美。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.(我记住的一些诗已经逐渐消失了，这没关系。我知道如果我花一点时间和它们在一起，它们会再次在我心中歌唱。我不能保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你更多地接触语言，接触他人的思想，也许还会让你接触到未来的自己)”可知，作者发现了背诗的价值。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.(我不能保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你更多地接触语言，接触他人的思想，也许还会让你接触到未来的自己)”可知，作者对背诵诗歌持欣赏的态度，故选B。 C Automating (自动化) food is unlike automating anything else. Food is fundamental to life, so how it’s accessed, prepared and consumed can change societies fundamentally. Automated kitchens aren’t sci-fi visions from Star Trek. The technology is real and global. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, mix cocktails and much more. AI can invent recipes based on whatever a kitchen has in store. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling chefs to be more creative, as well as removing repetitive, boring tasks such as washing the dishes or standing for hours. Not having to cook means being able to spend more time with family or focus on more urgent tasks. For personalized eating, AI can provide countless special diets on demand. However, there are also risks to human well-being. Cooking can be relaxing and provides opportunities for many things: gratitude, creativity, communication, adventure, independence, confidence and more, all of which may be lost if no one needs to cook. Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a safe space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table. The kitchen is also the science lab of the home, so science education could suffer. Can food technology really change society? Yes, just consider the significant impact of the microwave oven (微波炉). With that technology, it was suddenly possible to make a quick meal for just one person, which can be a benefit but also a social destroyer. Concerns about the technology include worse nutrition and health risks. Less obviously, that convenience can also transform eating from a collective, cultural and creative event into a practical act of survival. Instead of working at your desk over a reheated lunch, you might have to walk out and talk to people, as well as enjoy a break from work. There’s something to be said for living more slowly in a society that’s increasingly busy and socially isolated. 28. What can we learn about AI cooking in paragraph 3? A AI cooking could benefit human health. B. Science education could be negatively affected. C. Creativity and independence could be developed. D. AI cooking could promote parent-child relationship. 29. Why does the author mention microwave oven? A. To emphasize the need for eating with family. B. To reveal how technology can improve nutrition. C. To highlight strengths and weaknesses of food technology. D. To show the positive effects of food technology on society. 30. What does the author suggest people do in modern society? A. Walk out for longer hours. B. Rely heavily on AI kitchens. C. Eat more prepackaged meals. D. Slow down the pace of life. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of food technology. B. The benefits of using robots in cooking. C. The risks of AI kitchens on people’s health. D. The impact of AI kitchens on society and culture. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了AI厨房对社会文化的影响及其利弊。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, there are also risks to human well-being.(然而，人类福祉也面临着风险)”以及“The kitchen is also the science lab of the home, so science education could suffer.(厨房也是家庭的科学实验室，因此科学教育可能会受到影响)”可知，科学教育可能受到人工智能烹饪的负面影响。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Yes, just consider the significant impact of the microwave oven (微波炉). With that technology, it was suddenly possible to make a quick meal for just one person, which can be a benefit but also a social destroyer. Concerns about the technology include worse nutrition and health risks. Less obviously, that convenience can also transform eating from a collective, cultural and creative event into a practical act of survival.(是的，只要想想微波炉的重大影响就知道了。有了这项技术，突然间就有可能为一个人做一顿快餐，这可能是一种好处，但也可能是一种社会破坏者。对这项技术的担忧包括更糟糕的营养和健康风险。不太明显的是，这种便利也可以把吃饭从一种集体的、文化的和创造性的活动转变为一种实际的生存行为)”可知，作者提到微波炉是为了突出食品技术的优势和劣势。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of working at your desk over a reheated lunch, you might have to walk out and talk to people, as well as enjoy a break from work. There’s something to be said for living more slowly in a society that’s increasingly busy and socially isolated. (与其在办公桌前吃着热过的午餐，不如走出去和别人聊天，享受一下工作间隙的休息时光。在一个日益繁忙和社会孤立的社会中，放慢生活节奏是有道理的)”可知，作者建议人们在现代社会放慢生活节奏。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a safe space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table. The kitchen is also the science lab of the home, so science education could suffer.(如果父母和孩子不再一起在厨房工作，家庭关系可能会受到影响——厨房是一个安全的聊天空间，而不是在餐桌上感觉像被审问一样。厨房也是家庭的科学实验室，因此科学教育可能会受到影响)”以及第四段“Concerns about the technology include worse nutrition and health risks. Less obviously, that convenience can also transform eating from a collective, cultural and creative event into a practical act of survival.(对这项技术的担忧包括更糟糕的营养和健康风险。不太明显的是，这种便利也可以把吃饭从一种集体的、文化的和创造性的活动转变为一种实际的生存行为)”结合文章说明了AI厨房对社会文化的影响及其利弊，可知，这篇文章的主旨是人工智能厨房对社会和文化的影响。故选D。 D About one in 10 people worldwide die from stroke (中风), the third leading cause of death globally after heart disease and COVID-19. The number of people who have had a stroke has been rising in the U.S. and worldwide. While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. A new study in the Lancet Neurology reveals more people worldwide are surviving after a stroke, with no increases and even some decreases in strokes among adults over 70 — but increases in strokes in younger adults, particularly those under 55. Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. Although older age is a known risk factor for stroke, prevalence (患病率) did not actually go up in adults aged 65 and older. The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. In plain terms, younger adults still make up a very small proportion of overall strokes, but rates are climbing quickly in these younger groups with no increases seen in older adults. Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. Fortunately, of all the risk factors for stroke, hypertension is also one of the easiest to monitor and change. A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. Richard Temes, a neurologist at Northwell Health in New York, say’s the first step for individuals is understanding their risk, whether from lifestyle or family history. Changing one aspect of lifestyle can have a chain effect. 32. What can be known from Paragraph 1? A. COVID-19 is the deadliest disease globally. B. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. C. There is a tendency for younger adults to develop stroke. D. People suffering from stroke live longer than those who don’t. 33. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing relevant figures. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing supporting reasons. D. By comparing the similarities and differences. 34. What does the underlined word “hypertension” mean in paragraph 5? A. Mental pressure. B. Body temperature. C. High blood pressure. D. Heart disease. 35. Which could serve as the best title for this text? A. Stroke: A Disease on the Rise. B. Stroke: A Younger Trend Worldwide. C. Healthy Lifestyle: Key Factor to Avoid Stroke. D. High Blood Pressure: The Biggest Risk among Adults. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现中风呈现年轻化趋势，并分析了导致中风的因素，分享了预防措施。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. (虽然中风患者比以前的患者寿命更长，存活时间更长，但他们也越来越年轻)”可知，中风的人有年轻化的趋势。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. (美国疾病控制与预防中心5月份的报告显示，在2011年至2022年期间调查的520多万成年人中，中风患者从2011年至2013年的2.7%增加到2020年至2022年的2.9%)”和第四段中“The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. (增长最大的年龄组是45岁至64岁，增长了16%。在18至44岁的成年人中，中风发生率也相对上升了15%)”可知，这两段都用到了列数据说明的方法来阐释研究结果。故选A项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. (《柳叶刀》的研究发现，不断增加的危险因素包括肥胖率上升和气候变化导致的气温升高，但最大的一个危险因素在世界上每个地区都是相同的：高血压，占所有中风的一半多一点)”提到影响中风的因素中危险最大的是高血压，画线词的下文“A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. (健康的血压是低于120/80，这可以通过改变生活方式和药物来实现)”提到健康血压的管理方式。由此可知，画线词所在句表示“在所有中风的危险因素中，高血压也是最容易监测和改变的因素之一”，画线词意思应该是“高血压”，与High blood pressure意思一致。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. (虽然中风患者比以前的患者寿命更长，存活时间更长，但他们也越来越年轻)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现中风呈现年轻化趋势，并分析了导致中风的因素，分享了预防措施。因此，B项“中风：世界范围内的年轻化趋势”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 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。 In many workplaces, it’s not unusual to hear people talk about how stressed they are. ____36____ When they tell you they’re too busy or stressed, they are often signaling they’re very important, in high demand, and irreplaceable to their teams or business units. In a recent study, researchers coined this behavior as “stress bragging (吹嘘)”. This term perfectly reflects the double functions of this form of communication. ____37____ Stress bragging allows individuals to highlight their importance while hiding it in a coat of vulnerability (脆弱). Yet, while stress bragging might offer a short-term boost to one’s image, it has far-reaching negative consequences not only for the people bragging but also for others. Bragging about stress signals to others that you might be having difficulty managing your responsibilities. ____38____ Moreover, while expressing stress could theoretically arouse sympathy, bragging about it can make you seem self-centered. ____39____ Perhaps more troubling, it spills over to affect those around them. When people hear others bragging about their stress, their own levels of stress can increase as well. This is known as the stress infection effect and occurs when you are observing someone else’s stress and it causes a similar emotional response in you. So, if stress bragging is so harmful, why are we never bored to do it? The answer lies in the complex relationship between self-promotion and vulnerability. Stress bragging is a way to show one’s devotion and importance without leaving a bad impression of self-importance. ____40____ A. This, in turn, can lead others to doubt your competence. B. They are conveying a desire for help with their stressful work. C. It’s not merely a cry for help but bears a touch of self-promotion. D. This is because it makes your stress seem far more vital than others’. E. Stress bragging doesn’t just negatively affect the people engaging in it. F. For some, it’s a way to highlight their contributions to the organization. G. Only by managing stress well can we create more supportive workplaces. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“在工作场合说压力大，不一定是在寻求帮助，有可能是在变相夸自己能力强，在团队里很重要，不可或缺”这种社会现象。 【36题详解】 根据上文“In many workplaces, it’s not unusual to hear people talk about how stressed they are. (在许多工作场所，听到人们谈论他们压力有多大并不罕见。)”引出人们谈论压力的现象，以及下文“When they tell you they’re too busy or stressed, they are often signaling they’re very important, in high demand, and irreplaceable to their teams or business units.(当他们告诉你他们太忙或压力太大时，他们通常在暗示他们对团队或业务部门非常重要、需求很高且不可替代。)”提到人们谈论压力的目的。结合选项F项“For some, it’s a way to highlight their contributions to the organization.(对一些人来说，这是突出他们对组织贡献的一种方式。)”解释了人们谈论压力的一种原因，与上文形成顺承关系，与下文相呼应，语意连贯。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“This term perfectly reflects the double functions of this form of communication.(这个术语完美地反映了这种交流形式的双重功能。)”引出“stress bragging”的双重功能，以及下文“Stress bragging allows individuals to highlight their importance while hiding it in a coat of vulnerability.(压力吹嘘让个人在表现脆弱的同时突出自己的重要性。)”具体说明了这种双重功能。结合选项 C项“It’s not merely a cry for help but bears a touch of self-promotion.(这不仅仅是求助的呼喊，还带有一丝自我推销。)”对上文的双重功能进行了概括，与下文衔接自然，语意连贯。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Bragging about stress signals to others that you might be having difficulty managing your responsibilities.(吹嘘压力向他人表明你可能难以管理自己的职责。)”提到吹嘘压力可能带来的负面暗示，以及下文“Moreover, while expressing stress could theoretically arouse sympathy, bragging about it can make you seem self-centered.(此外，虽然表达压力理论上可能会引起同情，但吹嘘压力会让你看起来以自我为中心。)”进一步说明了吹嘘压力的不良影响。结合选项A项“This, in turn, can lead others to doubt your competence.(这反过来会导致其他人怀疑你的能力。)”说明了上文所述可能导致的后果，与上下文逻辑一致，语意连贯。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Perhaps more troubling, it spills over to affect those around them.(也许更麻烦的是，它会蔓延并影响到周围的人。)”提到压力吹嘘对周围人的影响，结合选项E项 “Stress bragging doesn’t just negatively affect the people engaging in it.(压力吹嘘不仅对从事这种行为的人有负面影响。)”引出下文关于对他人影响的内容，起到过渡作用，语意连贯。故选E。 【40题详解】 该句是总结句。本文首段提出“工作场合夸大压力”的现象，第二、第三、第四段阐述了这种现象在工作环境中对于夸耀者及周围同事带来的不良影响。再根据最后一段“So, if stress bragging is so harmful, why are we never bored to do it? The answer lies in the complex relationship between self-promotion and vulnerability. Stress bragging is a way to show one’s devotion and importance without leaving a bad impression of self-importance.(如果标榜压力如此有害，那为什么我们还乐此不疲地去做呢?答案在于自我推销和脆弱之间的复杂关系。夸耀压力是一种展示自己的奉献精神和重要性的方式，同时又不会给人留下自大的坏印象。)”可知，主要在讨论压力吹嘘这一现象及其影响。选项G项“Only by managing stress well can we create more supportive workplaces. (只有管理好压力，我们才能创造更支持性的工作场所。)”作总结并照应第一段中的“workplace”。故选G。 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。 Last year, as my 9-year-old son, Leo, and I prepared for a mom-son ski trip to Colorado, I came up with a ____41____: say yes to everything. Leo is a picky eater and ____42____ to try new things. I attempted to find a better ____43____ to encourage him instead of the boring “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So, I ____44____ the idea of “A Yes Day”, a movie we once watched. We started saying yes even before ____45____ our flight at a buffet at the airport. I took a bite of a meatball I had ____46____ before, while Leo tried a pancake once considered “silly”. Guess what? We each rated our new ____47____ as “not bad!”. After a long and tiring flight, we finally landed and got ____48____ in the hotel. Leo suggested we relax in the outdoor hot tub (浴缸). It was a 20-degree day. I hated being cold and wet! When I intended to ____49____, Leo cited and restated our pact (契约) ____50____. Ok, I gave in.

But each morning I would say, “Mama, can I please have some lunch money or a sandwich instead?” The reply was always the same: “Why? You already have these yummy tacos.” It wasn’t that the tacos weren’t good; it was that some kids called Mexican Americans beaners, so the last thing I needed was to stand out like a big stupid sign. I started going to the very end of the cafeteria, to turn my back, wolf down my tacos in three minutes and then run out. On a cold winter day, I started eating my second taco rather slowly. “Hey, you! What’s that?” A towering girl pointed at the bag ill-intentionally with her fat finger. I was shocked. She grabbed the bag from my hand. “Taco head!” She yelled. In seconds I was surrounded by kids shouting “Taco head! Taco head!” I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. Worse still, my taco flew open and spilt all over my white sweater. I wanted to kick her hard, but I dare not. This nightmare went on until Coach Clarke, the girls’ PE teacher, stopped them and ordered everybody back to their seats. “Sofia,” she said, “don’t pay attention to them. They’re just mean and silly.” She took me to the teachers’ room and helped me clean up. The next morning, Coach Clarke stopped me in the hall. “Sofia, how about we eating lunch together in the cafeteria?” I nodded, not knowing how to refuse such a kindness. When the lunch bell rang, I found Coach Clarke sitting in the middle of the cafeteria. She looked up and waved me over. “Here, Sofia,” she pulled out the chair beside her. “I was saving this chair for you.” I sat down, feeling sick, nervous. 注意： 1. 写作词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “How about we exchange?” Coach Clark pointed at my lunch box, smiling. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Clark, after that day fewer kids laughed at me about my tacos. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version: “How about we exchange?” Coach Clark pointed at my lunch box, smiling. I lowered my head and nodded. She quickly pressed a sandwich into my hand and reached for my taco. “Wow, Amazing! Try my sandwich!” I took a small bite carefully. “Not bad.” I frowned and whispered. Coach Clarke laughed to tears, “Forget it. Eat your taco instead.” As I chewed one and Coach Clarke the other, she kept praising my taco. I knew everyone in the cafeteria could hear. I knew she did it on purpose. Thanks to Clarke, after that day fewer kids laughed at me about my tacos. Instead, my mother’s hand-made tacos became popular. Sometimes I invited Clark to have lunch together. One day as we chatted over lunch, I told her how I wished to kick that mean girl. “Sofia, learn to defeat her in English, math and everything, with your head.” That year I beat that girl in all subjects. What a blessing to meet Clark, who was there in time to help me and taught me that my head was more powerful than my foot! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上学的时候，妈妈每天都会给作者准备两个玉米饼当午餐。但是作者在学校却因为这样的午餐被学校的坏女孩们欺负，直到女学生的体育老师克拉克教练制止了她们。克拉克教练提出和作者交换午饭，并且不停称赞作者的食物好吃，让餐厅里的每个人都能听到。那天以后，再也没有人嘲笑作者的午饭了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我们交换一下怎么样？’克拉克教练微笑着指着我的午餐盒”可知，第一段可描写克拉克教练提出和作者交换午饭，并且不停称赞作者的食物好吃，让餐厅里的每个人都能听到。 ②由第二段首句内容“多亏了克拉克，那天之后，很少有孩子嘲笑我的玉米饼。”可知，第二段可描写那天以后，再也没有人嘲笑作者的午饭了，作者十分感谢教练。 2.续写线索：提议交换午饭——称赞午饭——故意为之——不再被嘲笑——玉米饼开始流行——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①遇见：meet/encounter ②希望：wish/hope ③赞美：praise/compliment 情绪类 ①故意：on purpose/deliberately ②强大的：powerful/mighty 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I chewed one and Coach Clarke the other, she kept praising my taco.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] One day as we chatted over lunch, I told her how I wished to kick that mean girl.
