Crater Lake, Oregon At 1, 943 feet deep, Crater Lake is as deep as three Washington Monuments stacked up (叠放), topped by the Statue of Liberty. Rain and snow are the lake’s only sources of water. Visitors to Crater Lake can go on a journey of discovery, enjoying the breathtaking views or exploring the depths through diving (潜水), where they might encounter unique sea life adapted to this extreme environment. Badwater Basin, California Badwater Basin lies 282 feet below sea level. In 1913, the hottest temperature in the world was recorded there: 134 degrees Fahrenheit! Yet, despite its terrible conditions, Badwater Basin attracts brave spirits and athletes alike, who gather for the annual Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile race that tests the limits of human endurance (忍耐力) in the extreme heat of July. Great Rift, Idaho The Great Rift is 600 feet deep and 50 miles long. Walking along the edge of the Rift, visitors can explore a moon-like landscape of lava flows, and large fields of volcanic ash (灰烬), feeling a sense of wonder at the power of geological processes. Hudson River, New York The Hudson River is 216 feet deep at its deepest point, near West Point, New York. It is an important waterway for centuries, helping with business, transportation, and various water life. Today, visitors can explore the Hudson River’s depths through kayaking, fishing, or simply taking a boat ride, admiring the ever-changing beautiful views. 1. What will visitors to Badwater Basin most likely do? A Organize a running race. B. Compete against athletes. C. Enjoy moon-like views. D. Break previous records. 2.

But halfway through the tour, she got some terrible news—her father had died of a sudden heart attack. “I was too young to even understand that death was part of my world. And so it was a crazy shock,” Olson shared. Olson was able to get a plane ticket home, but when she arrived at Chicago O’ Hare International Airport, things went wrong. Someone had run through a security checkpoint with a bag, forcing the closure of part of the airport, because workers thought it would bring safety problems. “It turned out there were over 6,000 people evacuated (疏散) from the O’ Hare airport that day,” Olson said. She remembered standing on the sidewalk, surrounded by thousands of strangers as helicopters flew overhead. “It was the most crazy thing to be happening on this day,” she said. After hours of waiting, Olson and the other travelers were allowed back in. But the airport was in complete chaos (混乱). “I didn’t know where to go, who to call, what to do. And it kind of felt like everybody was busy just running around,” Olson said. As she stood there, feeling helpless, a woman approached her. “She walks up to me and she says, ‘I’m here to help people like you,’” Olson remembered. As the woman led her through the airport, Olson told the woman about her father’s death, and her attempts to return home to California. “And she just seemed to understand my problem — she talked to whoever the right people were, and she got me on the very first flight out.” Olson made it home that day. She says she’ll never forget the woman who made it possible. “There was something about me that she just saw that I was broken and needed help. And she saved me.” 4.

The office needs to change because the role of the workplace has changed. The office has suddenly become a choice. It’s really an option. And the office has to be better for someone than working from home. One change office spaces need is more focus on community in the workplace. When you get to the office, if you’re not connecting with anyone else, you might as well not be there. The office should be a place where you’re doing group work. The office of the future might even help workers with their personal responsibilities. One of the reasons why a lot of people work from home is that they have to take care of the dog or pick up the kids. And so, what if there were animal care in the building? What if there were child care in the building? Experts believe companies that own the office space should be more active in changing workplaces for the new way of life. The US General Services Administration (GSA) is the government agency that has been a leading force in establishing what the office of the future will look like. GSA’s Workplace Innovation Lab occupies a 25,000-square-foot space inside the organization’s headquarters in Washington, D. C. The Workplace Innovation Lab will be open for one year. Workers can try out the latest in workplace furniture and technology and then make comments on their experience. Some spaces in the lab look like traditional workplaces. Some spaces feel pleasant. Almost everything can be moved around. The air quality is controlled, and technology that is believed to be good for the environment is being tested. The office of the future needs three qualities. It should he well-designed, serve a purpose and feel pleasant. All of this might mean that the office of the future could feel a little bit more like home. 8. What should people do in the workplace according to the text? A. Work heart and soul. B. Deal with group work only. C. Communicate with others. D. Try improving working performance. 9. Which of the following is a probable benefit of future offices? A. Providing child care services. B. Containing larger workspaces. C. Allowing flexible schedules. D. Offering traditional furniture. 10. What’s the purpose of the Workplace Innovation Lab? A. To conduct research on the most comfortable office chairs. B. To test and gather opinions on workplace improvements. C. To create a space for employees to relax. D. To show some traditional office designs. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What Office of the Future Will Be Like B. Why Future Offices Attract Young People C. Who Will Work from Home in the Future D. How Will People Work in the Future Office 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于人们工作方式的变化，办公室的角色也发生了改变。未来的办公室需要更加注重社区建设，可能会提供儿童看护等个人责任方面的服务。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When you get to the office, if you’re not connecting with anyone else, you might as well not be there. The office should be a place where you’re doing group work. (当你到达办公室时，如果不与其他人交流，那你还不如不在那里。办公室应该是一个你进行团队工作的地方。)”可知，在办公室要与他人交流、进行团队合作，也就是要和别人沟通交流，故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“And so, what if there were animal care in the building? What if there were child care in the building? (那么，如果大楼里有动物护理服务呢？如果大楼里有儿童护理服务呢？)”可知，未来的办公室可能会提供儿童看护服务。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The Workplace Innovation Lab will be open for one year. Workers can try out the latest in workplace furniture and technology and then make comments on their experience. (工作场所创新实验室将开放一年。员工可以试用最新的办公家具和技术，然后对他们的体验发表评论。)”可知，这个实验室的目的是测试工作场所的改进并收集意见。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The office needs to change because the role of the workplace has changed. (办公室需要改变，因为工作场所的角色已经改变。)”、第二段中“One change office spaces need is more focus on community in the workplace. (办公空间需要的一个变化是更加注重工作场所的社区。)”、第三段中“The office of the future might even help workers with their personal responsibilities. (未来的办公室甚至可能帮助员工承担个人责任。)”、第六段“The Workplace Innovation Lab will be open for one year. Workers can try out the latest in workplace furniture and technology and then make comments on their experience.(工作场所创新实验室将开放一年。员工可以试用最新的办公家具和技术，然后对他们的体验发表评论。)”及最后一段“The office of the future needs three qualities. It should be well-designed, serve a purpose and feel pleasant. All of this might mean that the office of the future could feel a little bit more like home.（未来的办公室需要三个品质。它应该设计良好、有目的且令人愉悦。所有这些可能意味着未来的办公室可能会感觉更像家。）”可知，文章主要围绕未来办公室的变化和可能的样子展开，如更加注重社区、可能提供儿童看护服务、有创新实验室测试并改进工作场所等，A项“What Office of the Future Will Be Like (未来的办公室会是什么样子)”最能概括全文，故选A项。 D The Mars explorer, Curiosity, recently arrived at an area called the Gediz Vallis Channel. Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water. The term “channel” describes a natural bed that carries water. Curiosity arrived on Mars in 2012 and began exploring areas around the planet’s huge Gale Hole. Mars is a cold, dry desert today. But the Gale Hole area is believed to have contained a lake once and has shown other evidence of flowing water in the past. A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole. At the time, scientists believe groundwater filled Gale Hole while additional water flowed in from rivers fed by rain or snow. This is thought to have formed Gale Hole’s large lake. Curiosity will be searching for evidence of ancient water in areas around Gediz Vallis Channel, with studies centered on how the channel formed. Scientists say they do not think wind formed it because the sides of it are too high. From space, the channel looks like an ancient riverbed. Later, the channel was filled with large rocks and other forms of remains. Curiosity’s new exploring activities can provide scientists with a new way to study how the presence of both water and the chemical materials required for life changed over time. The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere. Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment (沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future. 12. What can he learned about the Gediz Vallis Channel? A. It was an area suitable to live in. B. It is easy for Curiosity to reach. C. It might hold water at one time. D. It was the source of all liquid water on Mars. 13. How was Gale Hole formed probably? A. By serious landslides. B. By a huge volcano eruption. C. By strong geological movements. D. By the knock of a space object. 14. Which has the closest meaning lo the underlined word “deposited” in paragraph 5? A. Worn away. B. Left behind. C. Broken up. D. Dug out. 15. What does the author intend to tell us about in the last paragraph! A. Another sign that water once existed. B. The importance of doing further research. C. Another region on Mars to explore. D. Plans for Mars exploration in the future. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲火星探测器“好奇号”将在Gediz Vallis Channel周围地区寻找曾今这里存在水的证据。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water. (研究人员表示，之所以选择该地区，是因为有证据表明它曾经拥有大量的液态水。)”可知，Gediz Vallis Channel曾经可能拥有液态水。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole. (据信，大约37亿年前的一次大流星撞击形成了这个洞。)”可知，Gale Hole可能是由太空物体的撞击形成的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第五段“The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere.(首先要检查的地层含有硫酸盐，这是一种含盐矿物，通常是在液态水变成气体并进入大气时而 。)”可推测，这里指水变成气体进入大气层，而剩下的矿物盐被“留下”在地层。所以猜测deposit表“留下，沉淀”的意思。与B项Left behind(留下)意思一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment (沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future.(水和矿物质的运动也会产生一种叫做沉积物的物质，这种物质会随着时间的推移沉积在水体底部。对这些沉积物的检查可以为过去的水和可能的生命提供额外的证据。好奇号收集的材料预计将在不久的将来返回地球。)”可知，本段主要讲通过检查沉积物也可证明水时候曾经存在于火星。即对火星是否存在水的另一迹象是通过检查沉积物而得知。故选A项。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we ask someone for advice, we look for information and guidance. Done well, the exchange can benefit both parties, strengthening the connections. ____16____ Luckily, there are things we can all do to avoid bad advice. ____17____ Are you asking someone to help you think through options you might take to solve a problem? Are you asking someone to provide advice as your friend or as an objective observer? Communicating both your problem and your expectations will help your advice-giver solve your questions thoughtfully and with a goal of their own in mind. Are they engaged? Good advice-givers ask questions that help them better understand where you’re coming from and what your goals are. Good advice-givers don’t assume they know the answer or that you have the time, resources or ability to approach the challenge in the same way they would.____18____ Do they understand your values? ____19____ When advice-givers assume that what’s best for them is also what’s best for you, or that their advice should always guide you to what’s most socially or culturally acceptable, problems can appear. Ask yourself if the other parties understand your values before accepting their advice. Trust yourself. When you need advice, call a group of advice-givers. Their advice helps you see different sides of tricky issues, pushing you to consider different angles and outcomes.____20____ Seek the advice of many but follow your own opinion. Everyone is an expert on their own life. A. Get clear on your needs. B. Select your advice-giver. C. But in the end, you should be the one who makes the decision. D. In fact, you don’t have to assume your advice-giver self-centered. E. Our different backgrounds and beliefs mean there often aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions. F. Bad advice, on the other hand, can harm relationships and make a decision more difficult. G. They are going to look into the problem with you and take the time to understand the shape of it. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何避免得到坏的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Done well, the exchange can benefit both parties, strengthening the connections. (如果做得好，这种交流可以使双方受益，加强联系。)”可知，这里介绍了好的建议，下文将介绍坏的建议，与F项“Bad advice, on the other hand, can harm relationships and make a decision more difficult. (另一方面，糟糕的建议可能会损害关系，使决策更加困难。)”上下文一致，与上文形成对比，且引出了避免坏建议的话题，符合文意，故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Are you asking someone to help you think through options you might take to solve a problem? Are you asking someone to provide advice as your friend or as an objective observer? (你是在请求某人帮你思考解决问题的可能选择吗？你是在请求某人以朋友或客观观察者的身份给你提供建议吗？)”可知，这些是在明确你的需求，与A项“Get clear on your needs. (明确你的需求。)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Good advice-givers ask questions that help them better understand where you’re coming from and what your goals are. Good advice-givers don’t assume they know the answer or that you have the time, resources or ability to approach the challenge in the same way they would. (好的建议提供者会提出问题，帮助他们更好地了解你来自哪里以及你的目标是什么。优秀的建议提供者不会假设他们知道答案，也不会假设你有时间、资源或能力以他们相同的方式应对挑战。)”可知，好的建议提供者会与你一起了解问题，与G项“They are going to look into the problem with you and take the time to understand the shape of it. (他们将和你一起调查这个问题，并花时间了解问题的形态。)”上下文一致，承接上文，进一步说明好的建议者会怎么做，故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Do they understand your values? (他们理解你的价值观吗？)”及下文“When advice-givers assume that what’s best for them is also what’s best for you, or that their advice should always guide you to what’s most socially or culturally acceptable, problems can appear. (当给予建议的人认为对他们最好的也是对你最好的，或者他们的建议应该总是引导你去做最符合社会或文化认可的事情时，问题就可能会出现。)”可知，并不是所有的建议都会被认同，空处应是原因，与E项“Our different backgrounds and beliefs mean there often aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions. (我们不同的背景和信仰意味着通常没有放之四海而皆准的解决方案。)”上下文一致，解释了为什么会出现问题。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“When you need advice, call a group of advice-givers. Their advice helps you see different sides of tricky issues, pushing you to consider different angles and outcomes. (当你需要建议时，打电话给一群提供建议的人。他们的建议能帮助你看到棘手问题的不同方面，促使你考虑不同的角度和结果。)”可知，别人的建议只是从不同角度看问题，但是最终还是要自己做决定，与C项“But in the end, you should be the one who makes the decision. (但最终，你应该是做出决定的人。)”上下文一致，承接上文，强调最终应该自己做决定，故选C项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One sunny afternoon, Oakley, a family dog, was ____21____ enjoying itself in the backyard when something happened—a pair of wolves came in without being noticed.

My best friend, Sam Hanivan, who had learned swimming for four years, and I got ready for a day of boogie boarding (滑浪). Little did we know that this seemingly ordinary day would become an extraordinary event in our memories forever. On that day Sam Hanivan and I almost lost our life. Our excitement was fueled not only by the hope of enjoying the beach but also by the interesting eight-hour car journey before our arrival. On arriving, we found lifeguards (救生员) here and there, but we just didn’t think much about that. With boogie boards in hand, Sam and I raced toward the water, unaware of the challenges awaiting us. As ten-year-olds, our only concern was to have fun and enjoy the moment. We spent the day riding the waves, swimming back and forth, our laughter carried far by the ocean wind. Sam and I shared not only the excitement of the waves but every snack break and moment of rest. However, as the day progressed, unlucky signs appeared. The weather took a turn, and the ocean waves became choppy (汹涌的). Despite the changing conditions, we continued to enjoy the sea until the playful waves transformed into dangerous huge ones. At that time, Sam and I found ourselves far from the safety of the beach. Frightened and anxious, we fought against the waves, trying our best to get back to the beach, but the more we fought, the more we were forced into the ocean. In an attempt to get out of the danger, we almost ran out of our energy. At the same time, Sam was comforting me, despite his own danger. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, we saw a lifeguard at a short distance. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lying on the beach, we were still suffering from the shock. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, we saw a lifeguard at a short distance. “Don’t Fight The Waves, Swim Diagonally.” Following the lifeguard’s instructions, we changed our course, swimming diagonally rather than fighting the waves head on. To my delight, Sam, my loyal friend, remained by my side. He kept encouraging me to hold on and his encouragement became my lifeline. More importantly, Sam helped lift me up timely whenever he saw me beginning to sink. As a great swimmer, he could have got out of danger by himself much earlier. However, he kept me company all the time and we were swimming neck and neck. To be frank, without Sam’s company and help, I would have given up a long time ago. Thank Goodness we finally got to the shore. Lying on the beach, we were still suffering from the shock. What a narrow escape from death! Our determination and persistence paid off in the end! Lying on the beach, we had no strength to stand up. “Thanks a lot! You have saved my life!” I told Sam gratefully. “It’s nothing. That’s what friends are for,” Sam replied with a smile. Never will I forget that day in my life. Sam’s heroic and selfless behaviour transformed an ordinary beach day into a proof of true friendship. In the face of danger, Sam chose to stay by my side, a decision that went beyond the call of friendship. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和好友Sam Hanivan在一个阳光明媚的八月天在圣地亚哥海滩进行滑浪活动时，遭遇了从平静到危险的海洋变化，两人经历了惊恐和挣扎，最终努力试图脱离危险的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我们看见不远处有一名救生员。”可知，第一段可描写作者在Sam的陪同和鼓励下顺利游到岸边的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“躺在海滩上，我们仍然惊魂未定。”可知，第二段可描写作者对Sam的感谢以及对于友谊的感悟。 2.续写线索：Sam鼓励和陪伴——游到岸边——表示感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 改变：change/transform 帮助：help/assist 选择：choose/pick out 情绪类 鼓励：encouragement/inspiration 感激地：gratefully/appreciatively 【点睛】[高分句型1] To be frank, without Sam’s company and help, I would have given up a long time ago.（运用了虚拟语气） [高分句型2] In the face of danger, Sam chose to stay by my side, a decision that went beyond the call of friendship.（运用了that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年（上）南阳六校高二年级期中考试 英语 考生注意： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2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。 例：How much is the shirt?

But halfway through the tour, she got some terrible news—her father had died of a sudden heart attack. “I was too young to even understand that death was part of my world. And so it was a crazy shock,” Olson shared. Olson was able to get a plane ticket home, but when she arrived at Chicago O’ Hare International Airport, things went wrong. Someone had run through a security checkpoint with a bag, forcing the closure of part of the airport, because workers thought it would bring safety problems. “It turned out there were over 6,000 people evacuated (疏散) from the O’ Hare airport that day,” Olson said. She remembered standing on the sidewalk, surrounded by thousands of strangers as helicopters flew overhead. “It was the most crazy thing to be happening on this day,” she said. After hours of waiting, Olson and the other travelers were allowed back in. But the airport was in complete chaos (混乱). “I didn’t know where to go, who to call, what to do. And it kind of felt like everybody was busy just running around,” Olson said. As she stood there, feeling helpless, a woman approached her. “She walks up to me and she says, ‘I’m here to help people like you,’” Olson remembered. As the woman led her through the airport, Olson told the woman about her father’s death, and her attempts to return home to California. “And she just seemed to understand my problem — she talked to whoever the right people were, and she got me on the very first flight out.” Olson made it home that day. She says she’ll never forget the woman who made it possible. “There was something about me that she just saw that I was broken and needed help. And she saved me.” 4. What happened to Olson during her dance tour? A. She lost her father. B. She had a serious heart attack. C. She failed to catch the plane. D. She couldn’t find her way. 5. What caused the closure of Chicago O’ Hare International Airport for some time? A. There were too many passengers. B. A man refused to follow the safety rules. C. The weather conditions were terrible. D. Something was wrong with the airport equipment. 6. How did the woman who approached Olson at the airport help her? A. She drove her home directly. B. She gave her money to cover the cost of a new ticket. C She offered emotional support but did not provide practical help. D. She helped her get on the first available flight back to California. 7. What message does the text deliver? A. Tours can be dangerous and tiring. B. Family troubles should be kept private and not shared with others. C. The ability of always being prepared for unexpected events is important. D. The kindness of strangers can make a huge difference in difficult times. C A recent report from the business advisor McKinsey & Company found that 58 percent of people worked from home at least one day a week in 2022. The office needs to change because the role of the workplace has changed. The office has suddenly become a choice. It’s really an option. And the office has to be better for someone than working from home. One change office spaces need is more focus on community in the workplace. When you get to the office, if you’re not connecting with anyone else, you might as well not be there. The office should be a place where you’re doing group work. The office of the future might even help workers with their personal responsibilities. One of the reasons why a lot of people work from home is that they have to take care of the dog or pick up the kids. And so, what if there were animal care in the building? What if there were child care in the building? Experts believe companies that own the office space should be more active in changing workplaces for the new way of life The US General Services Administration (GSA) is the government agency that has been a leading force in establishing what the office of the future will look like. GSA’s Workplace Innovation Lab occupies a 25,000-square-foot space inside the organization’s headquarters in Washington, D. C. The Workplace Innovation Lab will be open for one year. Workers can try out the latest in workplace furniture and technology and then make comments on their experience. Some spaces in the lab look like traditional workplaces. Some spaces feel pleasant. Almost everything can be moved around. The air quality is controlled, and technology that is believed to be good for the environment is being tested. The office of the future needs three qualities. It should he well-designed, serve a purpose and feel pleasant. All of this might mean that the office of the future could feel a little bit more like home. 8. What should people do in the workplace according to the text? A. Work heart and soul. B. Deal with group work only. C. Communicate with others. D. Try improving working performance. 9. Which of the following is a probable benefit of future offices? A. Providing child care services. B. Containing larger workspaces. C. Allowing flexible schedules. D. Offering traditional furniture. 10. What’s the purpose of the Workplace Innovation Lab? A. To conduct research on the most comfortable office chairs. B. To test and gather opinions on workplace improvements. C. To create a space for employees to relax. D. To show some traditional office designs. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A What Office of the Future Will Be Like B. Why Future Offices Attract Young People C. Who Will Work from Home in the Future D. How Will People Work in the Future Office D The Mars explorer, Curiosity, recently arrived at an area called the Gediz Vallis Channel. Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water. The term “channel” describes a natural bed that carries water. Curiosity arrived on Mars in 2012 and began exploring areas around the planet’s huge Gale Hole. Mars is a cold, dry desert today. But the Gale Hole area is believed to have contained a lake once and has shown other evidence of flowing water in the past. A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole. At the time, scientists believe groundwater filled Gale Hole while additional water flowed in from rivers fed by rain or snow. This is thought to have formed Gale Hole’s large lake. Curiosity will be searching for evidence of ancient water in areas around Gediz Vallis Channel, with studies centered on how the channel formed. Scientists say they do not think wind formed it because the sides of it are too high. From space, the channel looks like an ancient riverbed. Later, the channel was filled with large rocks and other forms of remains. Curiosity’s new exploring activities can provide scientists with a new way to study how the presence of both water and the chemical materials required for life changed over time. The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere. Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment (沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future. 12.

My best friend, Sam Hanivan, who had learned swimming for four years, and I got ready for a day of boogie boarding (滑浪). Little did we know that this seemingly ordinary day would become an extraordinary event in our memories forever. On that day Sam Hanivan and I almost lost our life. Our excitement was fueled not only by the hope of enjoying the beach but also by the interesting eight-hour car journey before our arrival. On arriving, we found lifeguards (救生员) here and there, but we just didn’t think much about that. With boogie boards in hand, Sam and I raced toward the water, unaware of the challenges awaiting us. As ten-year-olds, our only concern was to have fun and enjoy the moment. We spent the day riding the waves, swimming back and forth, our laughter carried far by the ocean wind. Sam and I shared not only the excitement of the waves but every snack break and moment of rest. However, as the day progressed, unlucky signs appeared. The weather took a turn, and the ocean waves became choppy (汹涌的). Despite the changing conditions, we continued to enjoy the sea until the playful waves transformed into dangerous huge ones. At that time, Sam and I found ourselves far from the safety of the beach. Frightened and anxious, we fought against the waves, trying our best to get back to the beach, but the more we fought, the more we were forced into the ocean. In an attempt to get out of the danger, we almost ran out of our energy. At the same time, Sam was comforting me, despite his own danger. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Suddenly, we saw a lifeguard at a short distance. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lying on the beach, we were still suffering from the shock. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
