A 【解析】 【原文】W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride” — the name of the city’s bike-share program. Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s (明尼苏达州) largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths. The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike. Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes is in Wuhan, China. To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes (道路内自行车车道) called greenways. 第二部分 阅读（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 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 A Notice on the Orderly Opening of the National Museum of China The National Museum of China (NMC) has limited the daily visitor arrivals with a new timetable and adopted an online booking system.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了国家博物馆的入馆相关规定。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“The NMC is open from 9:00 to 17:00 (last admission at 16:00) and closes on Monday. (NMC开放时间为9:00至17:00(最后入场时间为16:00)，周一闭馆)”可知，国家博物馆的开放时间是9:00到17:00，但最后一次入场时间是16:00，且周一闭馆，所以星期天10:30可以入馆。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Visitors can make online appointments through our official website or official social media platform account.(访客可以通过我们的官方网站或官方社交媒体平台帐户进行在线预约)”可知，参观者可以通过官方网站或官方社交媒体平台账户进行在线预约。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段中“If visitors miss their reserved time period, they will be refused. (如果游客错过了预定的时间，他们将被拒绝)”可知，如果参观者错过了预约的时间段，他们将被拒绝进入博物馆。故选C。 B I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She was on bad terms with her parents. B. She felt uneasy about reading old books. C. She grew fondness for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 25. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade? A. Confused. B. Pleased. C. Astonished. D. Discouraged. 26. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3? A. She began to ignore the appearance of the books. B. She started to enjoy reading fictional books. C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. My Passion for Reading. B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books. C. My Journey With Old Books. D. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人对旧书态度的转变过程，展现了作者从厌恶旧书到爱上旧书的心理变化，以及这一变化背后的原因和感受。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.(我指的是那些书页泛黄、书脊破损、散发着奇怪木质气味的书，你得小心翻阅，以免它们因为太过破旧而给你带来严重的不适感。)”以及第二段“Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.(从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得自己当时心想，我绝不可能读这些书。)”可知，作者对于阅读旧书这件事心里是很不舒服、很不情愿的。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.(在四年级的时候，我准备去探索一个全新的阅读世界，一个超越儿童章节读物和青少年主题读物的世界。就在那时，我发现了父母收藏的一整套旧版《哈利・波特》系列书籍。从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得当时心里想，我根本没法读这些书。)”可知，作者看到父母的《哈利・波特》系列旧书时，是很消极、很气馁的，觉得自己没办法去读它们。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文可知，作者非常讨厌旧书，觉得旧书外观破旧看着难受。而根据本句下一句“I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.(我依然很不喜欢旧书，但是整个《哈利・波特》系列的情节太吸引我了，以至于我几乎完全忘记了这些书的模样。)”可知，作者虽然内心还是不喜欢旧书的外在样子，但已经开始更关注书的内容，也就是开始忽略书的外观了，这体现出她的一种变化。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇讲述自己曾经讨厌旧书，接着描述四年级时因想读《哈利・波特》系列不得不去读父母的旧版书这一经历，过程中自己对旧书的态度逐渐发生变化，最后表示现在已经爱上旧书了，整体是围绕自己与旧书之间态度变化的这一历程展开叙述的。选项C“My Journey With Old Books（我与旧书的历程）”能够很好地概括文章从讨厌旧书到因读《哈利・波特》系列旧书而慢慢改变态度，最后爱上旧书的整个过程，符合文章主旨。故选C。 C Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat. Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat of mice by half over four weeks even if they ate more US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system. However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato” fellows. Study author Dr Matthew, whose team’s findings appear in the journal, said “I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.” 28. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. Social excitement helps gain more weight. B. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat. C. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter. D. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown. 29. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. destroys B. relieves C. aids D. harms 30. Which of the following statement does the text support? A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight. B Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result. C. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing. D. The research findings haven’t been published so far. 31. We can conclude from the text that ________. A. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life B. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment C. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication D. a sedentary lifestyle and high calorie food influence people’s social life 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于减肥的研究。科学家称社交和与朋友聚会有助于增加体内褐色脂肪的水平，这种脂肪通过燃烧卡路里产生热量。并且以小老鼠的例子告诉人们应该积极参加社交活动多锻炼，而不是总是呆着不动。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat.(美国研究人员称，社交兴奋会把白色脂肪变成褐色脂肪，从而促进减肥。白色脂肪储存卡路里，使我们变胖，而褐色脂肪燃烧能量产生热量。)”可知，褐色脂肪可以燃烧能量产生热量。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词catalyzes后的内容“White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat.(白色脂肪储存卡路里，使我们变胖，而棕色脂肪燃烧能量产生热量。)”可知，褐色脂肪能燃烧能量，故可推知划线词与C项“aids(帮助，促进)”意思相近，美国研究人员称，社交兴奋会把白色脂肪变成褐色脂肪，从而促进减肥，故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown.(然而，俄亥俄州立大学的科学家们现在认为，忙碌的社交生活是将白色脂肪转化为褐色脂肪的更有效方式)”推知，文章支持社交活动可以增加褐色脂肪的水平的说法。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Explaining how new technology had threatened face- to- face socializing, he added, “It’s not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.”(在解释新技术如何威胁到面对面的社交活动时，他补充说：“这不仅仅是久坐不动的生活方式和高热量的食物，而是越来越缺乏社交活动.)”可推知，科技威胁到了我们面对面的社交活动，因此从文章中我们可以得出结论，上网可能会影响人们面对面的交流。故选C项。 D Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too. Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied. Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence. Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动) generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions. The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural world is by no means silent. Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring. 32. What does the author stress in paragraph 1? A. The influence of noise on plants. B. Effects motorways have on animals. C. The importance of sound for animals. D. Problems plants have surviving in nature. 33. How did Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi conduct the experiment? A. By choosing two rare plant species. B. By collecting samples from old leaves. C. By making plants grow along motorways. D. By studying plants grown in different conditions. 34. What can we know from Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment? A. Plants exposed to noise were less stressful. B. Changes of chemicals in leaves were unclear. C. Leaves of plants grown in silence weighed more. D. Plants grew more slowly when grown in silence. 35. What might researchers do in the future? A. To improve the adapting ability of plants. B. To develop new species with high survival rate. C. To set more restrictions on urban traffic noise. D. To find plants suitable for noisy urban areas. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了噪音也会对植物产生影响，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too. (许多动物依靠声音来寻找食物或相互交流。当嘈杂的高速公路穿过它们的栖息地时，这些物种遭受痛苦是可以理解的。科学家们早就记录了噪音污染造成的生态破坏。然而，人们一直认为噪音是动物特有的问题。但德黑兰植物学家Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi的一项新研究表明，植物也成为了它的受害者)”可知，作者在第一段强调了噪音对植物的影响。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied. (其中一组每天16小时暴露在来自德黑兰一条繁忙高速公路的73分贝的交通噪音中。另一组则在沉默中成长。15天后，从实验中每棵植物最年轻的完全展开的叶子上采集样本进行研究)”可知，Ghotbi-Ravandi博士通过研究在不同条件下生长的植物进行实验。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence. (即使是刚割下的叶子的重量也有所不同——在噪音环境中生长的植物的叶子总是比在安静环境中生长的植物的叶子轻)”可知，寂静中生长的植物的叶子更重。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring. (是否一些植物物种已经进化到适应嘈杂的环境，有一天可能会被收集并移植到城市地区，这是一个值得探索的谜)”可知，未来研究人员可能会寻找适合嘈杂城市地区的植物。故选D。 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。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first.(学习如何道歉与学习任何新行为类似。一开始可能会感觉别扭，可能没有被打磨好。)”指出学习道歉一开始可能会让你感到别扭，下文“There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.(当您学习如何道歉时，有一些技巧可以帮助您。)”指出有些技巧可以帮助您学习道歉，这说明通过学习就能学会如何道歉，C项“但通过练习，每个人都可以学会这样做。”符合，承上启下，故选C。 【37题详解】 上文“First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used.(首先，等到合适的时间和地点。尽管公开道歉通常是合适的，但仍应谨慎行事。)”指出公开道歉需要谨慎行事，要等到合适的时间和地点，空处承接上文，E项“大多数道歉可以而且应该在私人场合进行。”符合，具体介绍了在什么地点适合公开道歉，故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. (承认已经发生伤害的事实，然后对所发生的事情承担责任。真诚地表达你的遗憾，并表明你愿意对事情负责。)”可知，道歉时要承认已经发生伤害的事实，并承担自己的责任，这说明不要为自己找借口，要主动承担责任，修复问题，F项“换句话说，避免找借口并主动修复损坏。”符合，故选F。 【39题详解】 上文“Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance.(即使您遵循这些步骤，也要做好被拒绝的准备。有时，道歉的人期望道歉会立即得到原谅和接受。)”可知，要做好被拒绝的准备，道歉的人期望会立即得到原谅且被接受，但是原谅和接受是需要时间的，A项“原谅和接受可能需要时间。”符合，承接上文，故选A。 【40题详解】 此处是本段中心句，下文“Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难，因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知，本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人，D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合，故选D。 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，从每小题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My sister’s words cut through my excuses. “You should see the world,” she ___41___.

I’d seen the ad at the local hardware store. “Thirteen puppies in all, “Sally, the owner, said when I called. ”There’ re only three left. “I decided to take a look the next day. The boys jumped and shouted excitedly as I copied down directions and hung up the phone. Early the next morning, still discussing names, we wound our way through the mountains to meet our family’s new best friend. Our boys had simple names: Ike, Sam, Ben, and Dom, so they Preferred simple names like Rosy ,too. Finally, we met the sweet little dog. ” Rosy, “the boys called it softly. Our little puppy cocked her head. ” She likes it,“they cheered and set about making Rosy comfortable for the long drive home. They offered her a chew toy and lifted her up so she could see out the window. They took turns holding her in their arms lovingly and offered her a snack. Though small, Rosy grew strong and healthy beneath her shiny black coat. And, just as I’d hoped, she was a calming addition to our houseful of noisy boys. But something was wrong. “It’s like she doesn’t know how to play,” Sam commented one day after school. “Dogs have different personalities, just like people,”I said. “Besides, she’s still very young. ” “But her legs aren’t very long, and one eye is smaller than the other,”Ike added, trying to make sense of why Rosy was different from other puppies he’d met. I looked across the room to where Rosy sat between the boys. The last golden rays of autumn sunshine shone brightly on her face. Sure enough, one eye was misshapen. Not only that, it didn’t glint (闪光) in the afternoon light. I drew in a breath. Rosy, our puppy with a name as short as her four little legs, was blind in one eye. 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。 Everyone in the room became serious and sad. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surprisingly, the boys refused to give the little puppy back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Everyone in the room became serious and sad. The boys dropped their heads, looking heartbroken. “It’s unfair. ” Ike cried, tears in his eyes. Yes, it was unfair to the boys. They just wanted to have a little playmate, one that could see and run as well as any other dog. I shouldn’t have disappointed them in this way. But…the poor dog. Having hesitated for a little while, finally, I made a difficult decision. I walked to them, petted the dog, and then suggested giving it back and taking another healthy and lively little puppy. Surprisingly, the boys refused to give the little puppy back. Sam held Rosy tightly in his arms and rubbed its fur. “Mommy, it’s not fair for the little dog. We should do something. We should love and care for her together. ” Ike looked straight into my eyes, begging to keep Rosy eagerly. The other boys joined immediately. It was then that I realized I had misunderstood them. Never had I expected my little boys had such great kindness. I was completely moved and nodded my head, “Yes, we’ll keep it. ” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物经历为线索展开，讲述了一个暖心的故事，作者答应孩子们养一只狗，在选小狗的时候面对一只有缺陷的小狗孩子们表现出善良的一面，想要照顾这一只小狗。 【详解】①由第一段首句内容“Everyone in the room became serious and sad.”可知，第一段可描写作者发现小狗有缺陷且想更换小狗时，作者的心理活动与行为等具体内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“Surprisingly, the boys refused to give the little puppy back. ”可知，第二段可描写孩子们面对有缺陷小狗时善良地想要照顾小狗的行为以及作者最终答应孩子们善良的决定。 2.续写线索：人物对话——放弃小狗——孩子拒绝——最终答应 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/object/turn down ②揉擦：rub/mop up/wipe ③直视：look straight into/look directly at 情绪类 ①心碎的：heartbroken/sorrowful/sad ②犹豫的：hesitated/waver/in hesitation 【点睛】 [高分句型1]It was then that I realized I had misunderstood them.（由It was...that构成的强调句） [高分句型2]Never had I expected my little boys had such great kindness.（由否定词位于句首的部分倒装句结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绵阳南山中学2024年秋季高2023级12月月考 英语试题 （时间：120 分钟 分值：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。 例：How much is the shirt?

When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She was on bad terms with her parents. B.

C Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat. Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat of mice by half over four weeks even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system. However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato” fellows. Study author Dr Matthew, whose team’s findings appear in the journal, said “I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.” 28. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. Social excitement helps gain more weight. B. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat. C. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter. D. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown. 29. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. destroys B. relieves C. aids D. harms 30. Which of the following statement does the text support? A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight. B. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result. C. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing. D. The research findings haven’t been published so far. 31. We can conclude from the text that ________. A. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life B. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment C. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication D. a sedentary lifestyle and high calorie food influence people’s social life D Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too. Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied. Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence. Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动) generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions. The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural world is by no means silent. Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring. 32. What does the author stress in paragraph 1? A. The influence of noise on plants. B. Effects motorways have on animals. C. The importance of sound for animals. D. Problems plants have surviving in nature. 33. How did Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi conduct the experiment? A. By choosing two rare plant species. B. By collecting samples from old leaves. C. By making plants grow along motorways. D. By studying plants grown in different conditions. 34. What can we know from Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment? A. Plants exposed to noise were less stressful. B. Changes of chemicals in leaves were unclear. C. Leaves of plants grown in silence weighed more. D. Plants grew more slowly when grown in silence. 35. What might researchers do in the future? A. To improve the adapting ability of plants. B. To develop new species with high survival rate. C. To set more restrictions on urban traffic noise. D. To find plants suitable for noisy urban areas. 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。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

I’d seen the ad at the local hardware store. “Thirteen puppies in all, “Sally, the owner, said when I called. ”There’ re only three left. “I decided to take a look the next day. The boys jumped and shouted excitedly as I copied down directions and hung up the phone. Early the next morning still discussing names, we wound our way through the mountains to meet our family’s new best friend. Our boys had simple names: Ike, Sam, Ben, and Dom, so they Preferred simple names like Rosy ,too. Finally, we met the sweet little dog. ” Rosy, “the boys called it softly. Our little puppy cocked her head. ” She likes it,“they cheered and set about making Rosy comfortable for the long drive home. They offered her a chew toy and lifted her up so she could see out the window. They took turns holding her in their arms lovingly and offered her a snack. Though small, Rosy grew strong and healthy beneath her shiny black coat. And, just as I’d hoped, she was a calming addition to our houseful of noisy boys. But something was wrong. “It’s like she doesn’t know how to play,” Sam commented one day after school. “Dogs have different personalities, just like people,”I said. “Besides, she’s still very young. ” “But her legs aren’t very long, and one eye is smaller than the other,”Ike added, trying to make sense of why Rosy was different from other puppies he’d met. I looked across the room to where Rosy sat between the boys. The last golden rays of autumn sunshine shone brightly on her face. Sure enough, one eye was misshapen. Not only that, it didn’t glint (闪光) in the afternoon light. I drew in a breath. Rosy, our puppy with a name as short as her four little legs, was blind in one eye. 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。 Everyone in the room became serious and sad. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surprisingly, the boys refused to give the little puppy back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
