The most beautiful sea in the world-Coral Sea If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom. The second place-Red Sea The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them. The third place-Caribbean This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions. The fourth place -Bali Sea The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura. 21. For which group of people is the Coral Sea most suitable? A. Visitors hoping for beautiful and relaxing coasts. B. Swimmers looking for the best swimming pools. C. Professional divers with advanced equipment. D. Young sailors hoping to find unique coral reefs. 22. Where should you go if you like various sea creatures? A. Coral Sea. B. Red Sea. C. Caribbean. D. Bali Sea. 23. Why do many visitors come to the Caribbean? A. To appreciate different cultures with less cost. B. To look for more corals and the best places to dive. C. To admire how volcanoes erupt in a short distance. D. To relax on the islands of Java, Sulawesi and so on. B “Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children. So a woman who intends to own a land must be prepared to work hard.” Monica Maigari was born and raised in her native community of Madakiya, located in the southern part of Kaduna state of northwestern Nigeria. In 2014, her achievements as a farmer, community leader, and women’s advocate won her recognition as an Oxfam Female Food Hero. Since that time, she has deepened her involvement in the local community while sharing her skills with influential audiences. Monica has been a farmer for more than 30 years. Despite great challenges faced by rural women farmers, such as land accessibility, labour costs, market access, and climate change, she has achieved great success. She started with a small field for crop cultivation in 1984 and then expanded into various crops and livestock farming. Like all farmers in her region, Monica’s agricultural productivity is threatened by climate change. She is leading her community in adapting to the effects while challenging policymakers to act. In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities. Against local practices, she chose to purchase farmland with her prize money in order to reduce the cost of renting a land and help plough back (把……再投资)that money into her agribusiness. She describes the FFH as being a truly life changing experience, “I acquired several skills. I was taught the value chain. My productivity and income has steadily increased. I am more financially stable. Since her recognition from Oxfam, Monica has been in demand as a speaker throughout Nigeria and abroad, and she is now able to educate other female farmers. Realizing this yet always humble (谦虚的), Monica simply describes herself as “a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture”. 24. What does the author intend to stress in Paragraph 1? A. Monica’s achievements as a women’s advocate. B. The challenges of having lands faced by women. C. The role of male children played in possessing lands. D. The importance of women’s involvement in agriculture. 25. Why was Monica chosen as a Food Hero? A. She used her money to buy farmland. B. She was creative and had strong leadership. C. She served as a public speaker at home and abroad. D. She owned lands in a community where women typically do not. 26. Which of the following can best describe Monica? A. Shy but strict. B. Creative but proud. C. Devoted and inspiring. D. Hard-working and sensitive. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Women’s Land Rights in Madakiya B. Climate Change and Agriculture in Nigeria C. Oxfam Female Food Hero: Monica Maigari D. A Farmer’s Journey in Northwestern Nigeria C Turn on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light — even at the price of flipping over or crashing. This can be dangerous for insects, as circling around artificial lights can put them at risk from enemies, exhaustion, and starvation, causing many to die before morning. Night artificial light is a major cause of insect population loss, which could severely impact crop pollination and food supplies for larger animals, including humans. “Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” 28 What have scientists found out about insects? A. Artificial lights can disturb their sense of direction. B. Their populations are in decline. C. They often fly quickly during the night. D. Their eyesight is well adapted to light changes. 29. How did the scientists conduct the experiment? A. By detecting the living environment of insects. B. By monitoring the insects’ brain activity during flight. C. By making videos to study insects’ movements. D. By building models to analyze insects’ motion patterns. 30. Why does the author mention Fabian’s words in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of insects to food supplies. B To appeal to people to reduce light pollution. C. To show the reasons for insects flying around lights. D. To explain the effects of insects’ death on human life. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Artificial Lights Impact the Ecosystem B. What Leads to the Loss of Insect Populations C. How Insects Orient Themselves in the Flight D. Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night D It’s a balmy summer day at the beach — you’re lying in the sun, enjoying the water and hanging out with friends. But suddenly, you start to feel a familiar pain behind your temples (太阳穴), and you wonder: why do you always get headaches when it’s hot out? Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. “Weather is very common in the top five triggers (诱因) that people do report. But, I would speculate that it might be actually due to things that go along with hot weather rather than the heat itself.” Most research on heat and headaches only shows a connection between the two. For example, a study might look at hospital admission rates for headaches during different months of the year and find headaches are more common in summer. But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer — like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. Therefore, Pearson recommends that each person with headaches hone in on these possible triggers, since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. Poor air quality is a well-known headache trigger, and one common effect of heat waves is that they tend to make air quality worse. Heat can cause some chemical elements in the air to transform into ozone (臭氧) and other harmful substances. In addition, wind and air pressure systems driven by hot weather can make pollutants linger over cities, rather than float away. Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. When a night of sleep is disturbed — by being overheated, for instance — people are significantly more likely to experience migraines and other headaches. 32. What may be the cause of summertime headaches? A. The direct effect of heat. B. Changes of living habits. C. Restful sleep in cool days. D. Chemical elements in the air. 33. What does the phrase “hone in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Put up with. C. Head towards. D. Concentrate on. 34 Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Hospital admission rates for headaches are lower in summer than in winter. B. Poor air quality is the leading reason that triggers people’s headaches. C. Pollutants in the air can’t float away due to the destruction of the wind system. D. Exposure to the sun causes worse condition for people with migraines. 35. What might the author continue talking about? A. Effective measures in summertime. B. Major limitations in present research. C. Detailed analysis of people’s lifestyles. D. Explanations of experimental methods. 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。 When traveling in foreign nations, you have to know their way of life._____36_____Otherwise, you may get yourself on the wrong side.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 南充市嘉陵一中高2023级高二上期12月月考 英语试卷 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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，再选涂其它答案标号。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，请将答题卡交回。 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，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to do?

What can we learn about the education system in Australia? A. Every classroom has different age groups. B. Students with problems may be put into theater classes. C. The school classes are followed by after-school activities. 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】The education system in Australia consists of a total of 12 years. Primary schools and high schools are based on the age of the student, so that every room has the same age group, with a student hardly ever having to repeat a year. The students with problems in their studies may be put into special classes. Most of the children start primary school at the age of 5. Then the student goes for secondary school at the age of 12 or 13. Well, the subject of the education system is too broad. Today I’d like to focus on the school system in Australia. The school system in Australia does depend on whether you go to a private or a public school. In the state, there are a lot of private schools, and generally they’re single-sex high schools. The public high schools are generally mixed. All of the private high schools insist that you wear their school uniforms, and that might mean a school tie and a school jacket. However, the public high schools often give you a choice of whether you want to wear a uniform or not. The school classes generally start anywhere between 8:30 and 9 o’clock in the morning, and run until 3:30 in the afternoon, and they’re followed by after-school activities like sports and music and theater. The school year generally starts in the beginning of February, after the summer vacation. The summer vacation lasts about six weeks, and it’s around the Christmas period. 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Most Beautiful Seas in the World Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies,although, without doubt,each sea is attractive and charming in its own way. The most beautiful sea in the world-Coral Sea If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom. The second place-Red Sea The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them. The third place-Caribbean This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions. The fourth place -Bali Sea The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura. 21. For which group of people is the Coral Sea most suitable? A. Visitors hoping for beautiful and relaxing coasts. B. Swimmers looking for the best swimming pools. C Professional divers with advanced equipment. D. Young sailors hoping to find unique coral reefs. 22. Where should you go if you like various sea creatures? A. Coral Sea. B. Red Sea. C. Caribbean. D. Bali Sea. 23. Why do many visitors come to the Caribbean? A. To appreciate different cultures with less cost. B. To look for more corals and the best places to dive. C. To admire how volcanoes erupt in a short distance. D. To relax on the islands of Java, Sulawesi and so on. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23.

It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich.”（红海是一个真正壮丽的地方。它有丰富的鱼类种群，生活着大量令人惊叹的生物，水下世界异常丰富。）可知如果你喜欢各种各样的海洋生物，你应该去红海。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The third place-Caribbean部分的“Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions.”（许多游客来到这里，因为这里的休闲很便宜，你可以体验不同的文化传统。）许多游客来到加勒比海是为了以更低的成本欣赏不同的文化。故选A项。 B “Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children. So a woman who intends to own a land must be prepared to work hard.” Monica Maigari was born and raised in her native community of Madakiya, located in the southern part of Kaduna state of northwestern Nigeria. In 2014, her achievements as a farmer, community leader, and women’s advocate won her recognition as an Oxfam Female Food Hero. Since that time, she has deepened her involvement in the local community while sharing her skills with influential audiences. Monica has been a farmer for more than 30 years. Despite great challenges faced by rural women farmers, such as land accessibility, labour costs, market access, and climate change, she has achieved great success. She started with a small field for crop cultivation in 1984 and then expanded into various crops and livestock farming. Like all farmers in her region, Monica’s agricultural productivity is threatened by climate change. She is leading her community in adapting to the effects while challenging policymakers to act. In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities. Against local practices, she chose to purchase farmland with her prize money in order to reduce the cost of renting a land and help plough back (把……再投资)that money into her agribusiness. She describes the FFH as being a truly life changing experience, “I acquired several skills. I was taught the value chain. My productivity and income has steadily increased. I am more financially stable. Since her recognition from Oxfam, Monica has been in demand as a speaker throughout Nigeria and abroad, and she is now able to educate other female farmers. Realizing this yet always humble (谦虚的), Monica simply describes herself as “a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture”. 24. What does the author intend to stress in Paragraph 1? A. Monica’s achievements as a women’s advocate. B. The challenges of having lands faced by women. C. The role of male children played in possessing lands. D. The importance of women’s involvement in agriculture. 25. Why was Monica chosen as a Food Hero? A. She used her money to buy farmland. B. She was creative and had strong leadership. C. She served as a public speaker at home and abroad. D. She owned lands in a community where women typically do not. 26. Which of the following can best describe Monica? A. Shy but strict. B. Creative but proud. C. Devoted and inspiring. D. Hard-working and sensitive. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Women’s Land Rights in Madakiya B. Climate Change and Agriculture in Nigeria C. Oxfam Female Food Hero: Monica Maigari D. A Farmer’s Journey in Northwestern Nigeria 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了乐施会女性食物英雄Monica鼓励更多女性投身农业的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children.(在我的社区里，女性没有土地，除非她们有能力购买，因为一个家庭中的大部分土地都传给了男性子女。)”可知，此句话提供了故事的背景：女人只有通过购买才能获得土地，因为大部分土地都被传给男孩子了。所以，此段强调女人想要拥有土地所面临的挑战。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In November2014, out of the1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities.(2014年11月，在全国1280名参赛者中，Monica凭借其创新和领导才能获得了女性美食英雄称号。)”可知，因为创造性和领导品质，Monica被选为“乐施会女性食物英雄”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Realizing this yet always humble (谦虚的), Monica simply describes herself as “a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture”(意识到这一点，但始终谦逊，Monica简单地将自己描述为“一个勤奋的女性，致力于鼓励女性，尤其是那些没有特权的女性进入农业”。)”可知，她是有奉献精神的(devoted),且能够鼓舞人心的(inspiring)。“encourage”和“inspire”是近义词转变。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children.(在我的社区里，女性没有土地，除非她们有能力购买，因为一个家庭中的大部分土地都传给了男性子女。) ”可知，Monica Maigari获得成就的背景。根据第四段中“In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities.(2014年11月，在全国1280名参赛者中，Monica凭借其创新和领导才能获得了女性美食英雄称号。)”可知，Monica获得了女性美食英雄称号的原因。且根据全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了乐施会女性食物英雄Monica鼓励更多女性投身农业的故事。故选C。 C Turn on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light — even at the price of flipping over or crashing. This can be dangerous for insects, as circling around artificial lights can put them at risk from enemies, exhaustion, and starvation, causing many to die before morning. Night artificial light is a major cause of insect population loss, which could severely impact crop pollination and food supplies for larger animals, including humans. “Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” 28. What have scientists found out about insects? A. Artificial lights can disturb their sense of direction. B. Their populations are in decline. C. They often fly quickly during the night. D. Their eyesight is well adapted to light changes. 29. How did the scientists conduct the experiment? A. By detecting the living environment of insects. B. By monitoring the insects’ brain activity during flight. C. By making videos to study insects’ movements. D. By building models to analyze insects’ motion patterns. 30. Why does the author mention Fabian’s words in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of insects to food supplies. B. To appeal to people to reduce light pollution. C. To show the reasons for insects flying around lights. D. To explain the effects of insects’ death on human life. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Artificial Lights Impact the Ecosystem B. What Leads to the Loss of Insect Populations C. How Insects Orient Themselves in the Flight D. Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。详细解释了昆虫为何会被夜间的灯光所吸引，揭示了背后的科学原因，并指出了这种现象对昆虫以及生态环境可能产生的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. (这一新发现是基于昆虫定位的理论。由于昆虫体积小、重量轻，所受到的空气阻力较小，使它们能够获得更高的加速度，而这反过来又使它们在飞行中很难感知上下方向。因此，它们通常依靠稳定的光源，如月亮和星星，在夜间进行定位，保持天空在它们的背后，以保持身体直立。然而，人造光的引入扰乱了它们的自然方向感。换句话说，你看到在路灯周围盘旋的昆虫，可能迷失了方向。)”可知，关于昆虫，科学家们发现人造光会干扰它们的方向感。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light—even at the price of flipping over or crashing. (为了得出这些结论，科学家们使用高分辨率摄像机拍摄了哥斯达黎加昆虫在人造光周围飞行的视频。他们还在昆虫身上附着了微型传感器，并拍摄了它们在飞行中的动作捕捉视频。通过这种方式，研究人员可以放慢昆虫的速度，更详细地研究它们的运动。视频显示，昆虫会背对人造光源，甚至不惜以翻身或坠落的代价。)”可知，科学家们通过制作视频来研究昆虫的运动进行实验的。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” (伦敦帝国理工学院的昆虫学家塞缪尔·法比安说：“昆虫已经飞行了3.7亿年，只是在过去的150年里，它们才真正出现了问题。”“如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空。”)”可知，此处法比安说如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空，所以是在呼吁人们减少光污染。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tun on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. (晚上在外面开一盏灯，不久就会有许多昆虫开始聚集在它周围。这种行为导致人们将吸引力比作“飞蛾扑火”。然而，根据发表在《自然通讯》杂志上的一项新研究，事实证明，昆虫并没有被人造光“吸引”，而是被人造光弄糊涂了)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要解释了昆虫为何会被夜间的灯光所吸引，揭示了背后的科学原因，所以D项“Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night (为什么昆虫在夜间会被灯光吸引)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 D It’s a balmy summer day at the beach — you’re lying in the sun, enjoying the water and hanging out with friends. But suddenly, you start to feel a familiar pain behind your temples (太阳穴), and you wonder: why do you always get headaches when it’s hot out? Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. “Weather is very common in the top five triggers (诱因) that people do report. But, I would speculate that it might be actually due to things that go along with hot weather rather than the heat itself.” Most research on heat and headaches only shows a connection between the two. For example, a study might look at hospital admission rates for headaches during different months of the year and find headaches are more common in summer. But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer — like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. Therefore, Pearson recommends that each person with headaches hone in on these possible triggers, since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. Poor air quality is a well-known headache trigger, and one common effect of heat waves is that they tend to make air quality worse. Heat can cause some chemical elements in the air to transform into ozone (臭氧) and other harmful substances. In addition, wind and air pressure systems driven by hot weather can make pollutants linger over cities, rather than float away. Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. When a night of sleep is disturbed — by being overheated, for instance — people are significantly more likely to experience migraines and other headaches. 32. What may be the cause of summertime headaches? A. The direct effect of heat. B. Changes of living habits. C. Restful sleep in cool days. D. Chemical elements in the air. 33. What does the phrase “hone in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Put up with. C. Head towards. D. Concentrate on. 34 Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Hospital admission rates for headaches are lower in summer than in winter. B. Poor air quality is the leading reason that triggers people’s headaches. C. Pollutants in the air can’t float away due to the destruction of the wind system. D. Exposure to the sun causes worse condition for people with migraines. 35. What might the author continue talking about? A. Effective measures in summertime. B. Major limitations in present research. C. Detailed analysis of people’s lifestyles. D. Explanations of experimental methods. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了夏季头痛的原因，指出高温并非唯一诱因，还涉及空气质量、紫外线暴露和睡眠干扰等因素。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, experts like Dr. Nolan Pearson, a neurology fellow who specializes in headache at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s important to look beyond heat to find the reason for summertime headaches. (然而，洛杉矶西奈山医学中心专门研究头痛的神经病学研究员诺兰·皮尔逊博士等专家表示，要找出夏季头痛的原因，重要的是要超越热量本身。)”和第三段“But that doesn’t prove that heat directly caused those headaches. There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (但这并不能证明热量直接导致了这些头痛。夏季可能会有其他环境和生活方式的变化——比如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”可知，夏季头痛的原因可能是生活习惯的改变，而不是直接由热引起的。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (夏季可能会有其他环境和生活方式的变化——比如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”和第三段中的“since these have more research behind them and may be easier to handle than the heat itself. (因为这些背后有更多的研究，而且可能比热量本身更容易处理。)”可知，皮尔逊建议每个头痛的人都要集中精力在这些可能的诱因上，由此可推测“hone in on”意为“集中于”。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Warmer months also come along with longer days and greater UV (紫外线) exposure. Light exposure and headaches have a complicated relationship, though. While some research suggests that bright light isn’t a headache trigger, people with migraines (偏头痛) are often sensitive to bright lights during an attack. So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. (温暖的月份也伴随着更长的白天和更大的紫外线暴露。然而，光照和头痛有着复杂的关系。虽然一些研究表明强光不是头痛的诱因，但偏头痛患者在发作期间通常对强光敏感。因此，炎热的夏日阳光可能会使现有的头痛更加严重。)”可知，阳光照射会使偏头痛患者的情况恶化。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Some research does suggest that people’s rates of headaches rise when temperatures go up. (一些研究确实表明，当气温升高时，人们的头痛率会上升。)”和第三段“There could be other environmental and lifestyle changes that happen during the summer—like air quality, light exposure or activity levels. (夏季可能会发生其他环境和生活方式的变化，如空气质量、光照或活动水平。)”和第五段“So it might be that a blazing summer sun can make existing headaches worse. (因此，炎热的夏日阳光可能会使现有的头痛更加严重。)”可知，文章主要讨论了夏季头痛的可能原因，包括高温、空气质量、紫外线暴露等。再结合文章最后一段“On top of all of that, heat can destroy a person’s sleep schedule. “Good, restful sleep happens most effectively in a colder environment,” Pearson said. (最重要的是，高温会破坏一个人的睡眠时间表。皮尔逊说：“良好、宁静的睡眠在较冷的环境中最有效。”。)”，文章指出了良好睡眠的条件。因此，作者接下来可能会讨论如何在夏季采取有效的措施来改善睡眠，从而减轻或避免夏季头痛。故选A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。 When traveling in foreign nations, you have to know their way of life._____36_____Otherwise, you may get yourself on the wrong side.

In 64. perfectly 65. benefitting##benefiting 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国利用人工智能技术来保护和研究山西省最古老、最高的木塔 —— 释迦牟尼塔。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：人工智能被用于保护中国北部山西省最古老、最高的木塔，该木塔经历了968年的自然和人为灾害。空格处用形容词natural作定语，修饰名词disasters，natural意为“自然的”。故填natural。 【57题详解】 考查不定式。句意：这项技术被用于提高对67米高的释迦牟尼塔的了解，可视化其随时间变化的状态，并为修复工作做准备。sth. be used to do是固定短语，意为“某物被用来做某事”，因此空格处用不定式to improve。故填to improve。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这座塔建于辽代1056年，完全由木头建造，没有使用钉子，其结构复杂，有无数的榫卯，经受住了地震、战争和其他挑战。句中谓语是has weathered，空格处用非谓语动词，the pagoda和build之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Built。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这座塔建于辽代1056年，完全由木头建造，没有使用钉子，其结构复杂，有无数的榫卯，经受住了地震、战争和其他挑战。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词the pagoda和complicated structure之间是所属关系，因此空格处用表所属的关系代词whose。故填whose。 【60题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：这座塔建于辽代1056年，完全由木头建造，没有使用钉子，其结构复杂，有无数的榫卯，经受住了地震、战争和其他挑战。other后跟名词的复数challenges。故填challenges。 【61题详解】 考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：2024年4月，中国科技公司联想集团和清华大学建筑学院发布了一个复制宝塔的虚拟现实程序。由by可知，句子用被动语态，由In April, 2024可知，时态用一般过去时，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语a virtual reality program是单数，因此空格处是was released。故填was released。 【62题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：该程序已被捐赠给县政府，成为其数字博物馆的一部分。此处program是第二次提到，因此空格处用定冠词the，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填The。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：去年2月，他们开始对宝塔内部的木结构进行建模工作，通过结构研究建立了参数数据库。February是2月，前面要加介词in，位于句首，首字母大写。故填In。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：同时，联想集团正在利用其人工智能生成计算技术，将人工智能、神经辐射场技术和扩展现实技术完美结合，构建宝塔的数字“双胞胎”。空格处用副词perfectly修饰动词combines，perfectly意为“完美地”。故填perfectly。 【65题详解】 考查动名词。句意：除了使游客受益外，这些技术还为重建宝塔的完整结构和细节提供了强有力的技术支持。Besides是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，benefit的动名词是benefitting/benefiting。故填benefitting/benefiting。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 上周末，你和同学参加了一次采摘活动。请你为班级英语角写一篇短文，介绍这次活动，内容包括: 1. 农场情况； 2. 采摘过程； 3. 个人感受 注意: 1. 词数100左右； 2. 题目已为你写好。 题目:My Weekend _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My Weekend Organized by the student union, a group of volunteers went to Hope Farm to help the farmers pick peaches last weekend.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.
