At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial. Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?” Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.” 24. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product. C. To state the material of furniture. D. To show tennis’ popularity. 25. What function does paragraph 3 act as? A. A background. B. An example. C. A definition. D. A proof. 26. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls? A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help. C. She uses their characteristics. D. She adjusts their colors accordingly. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Wittock’s work plans. B. Wittock’s stuff sources. C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是比利时生态设计师玛蒂尔德·维托克用仍掉的网球制作家具的事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Wittock’s chaise longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless—save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.(维托克的长躺椅完全没有垫子——除了装上500个精确排列的网球。她的1米长的板凳同样是罕见的，大约有270个球制成，既时尚又坚固。)”可知，第二段中的数字表明的是维托克制作家具用到的材料数量。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year—and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.(每年大约生产3亿个网球，几乎所有的网球最终都被送到了垃圾填埋场，需要400多年才能分解。维托克估计，一个球的生命周期仅为九场比赛，这取决于网球的水平。)”可知，维托克认为每年有大量的网球被当作垃圾扔掉了，所以，他想到了用网球制作家具，所以第三段是维托克想到用网球制作家具的背景。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space.(维托克制作一把椅子大约需要三到四周的时间。每个球都是手工裁剪和染色的，颜色特别适合客户的空间。)”可知，维托克要根据客户的空间给网球染色。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的句子“Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small— sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time— but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock— around 100,000.(如今，她所有的材料都是通过网球俱乐部的捐赠获得的。起初收集的球很少——有时一次只有10个——但很快就增加了。现在，维托克在布鲁塞尔的瓦隆尼亚联盟工作，他们给了她全部的存货——大约10万。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是维托克的材料来源。故选B项。 C Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies. Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒) , each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors. Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research. 28. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1? A. Special sensors detecting colors. B. A unique way for color reflection. C. Advanced software for image generation. D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination. 29. What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2? A. It is created by using cartridges. B. It’s a fully-developed technology. C. It comes from the same cartridges. D. It is related to images on mobile phones. 30. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology? A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature. B. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell. C. Regulating the strength and duration of scents. D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. A comparison between image combination and smell production. B. The development and challenges of digital scent technology. C. The advantages of updating a phone that can display images. D. The history and future of complex phone technology. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了数字气味技术，包括它的开发过程和潜力，以及其面临的诸多挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.(屏幕使用被称为像素的小点，由红、绿、蓝三种原色组成。通过以不同的方式混合这些颜色，你的手机可以显示从美丽的海滩景色到可爱的小狗的一切。)”可知，让手机屏幕呈现多样化的视觉内容的是三种原色的像素组合。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒) , each containing a specific scent.(科学家们正在开发数字气味技术，该技术使用少量不同的暗盒，每个暗盒含有一种特定的气味。)”可知，数字气味技术是通过使用包含特定气味的暗盒来创建的。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. (另一个是如何控制气味的强度，以及手机应该发出多长时间。)”可知，科学家在开发数字气味技术时面临的一个挑战是如何调节气味的强度和持续时间。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒) , each containing a specific scent.(科学家们正在开发数字气味技术，该技术使用少量不同的暗盒，每个暗盒含有一种特定的气味。)”和最后一段“Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges.(制造一款可以产生气味的手机涉及几个挑战。)”可知，文章主要介绍了数字气味技术，包括它的开发过程和潜力，以及其面临的诸多挑战。因此，本文的主旨是B选项The development and challenges of digital scent technology.(数字气味技术的发展与挑战。)。故选B。 D In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced. But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher. Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate (旋转) their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals — to within a few centimetres — if a blade could get through. For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter. The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort. 32. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Improvement. B. Advantage. C. Challenge. D. Disorder. 33. How were the wind turbines transported in the past? A. By using trucks with special devices to change the position of turbines. B. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns. C. By applying software to the big trees detection. D. By making digital models of the large blades. 34. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades? A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms. B. Using lighter materials to produce the blades. C. Increasing the number of transport permits. D. Reducing the length of the turbine blades. 35. What is the author’s attitude to the efforts to improve the transportation of blades? A. Ambiguous. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了风力涡轮机叶片运输面临的挑战及解决方案。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.(但是有个hitch。如今最长的叶片已经变得太大，无法运送到内陆风力发电场。它们只能用船运到近海地点，那里的建造成本要高得多。)”可知，如今最长的叶片已经变得太大，无法运送到内陆风力发电场。它们只能用船运到近海地点，那里的建造成本要高得多。所以hitch在此处的意思是“问题，挑战”，与选项C“Challenge. (挑战)”相符。故选C。 33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate (旋转) their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. (配备“铲刀升降机”液压装置的卡车可以旋转负载，以减少转弯时的位移，这在没有头顶障碍物的丘陵地区是一个有用的技巧。)”可知，过去的风力涡轮机是通过使用带有特殊装置的卡车来改变涡轮机的位置来运输的。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter. (一个想法是在风电场使用3D打印技术打印叶片。硅谷一家公司获得了130万美元的资金。如果一切顺利，该公司希望能在2025年底生产出50米长的叶片。到2028年，可能会跟进生产100米长的3D打印叶片。该公司负责人估计，现场打印可将开发商的叶片总成本降低四分之一。)”可知，解决风力涡轮机叶片运输问题的建议是在风电场现场打印叶片。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort. (风力发电行业在动叶片上花费了惊人的7%左右的资本支出。因此，即使是昂贵的、希望渺茫的寻找更好方法的尝试，也可能被证明是值得的。)”可知，作者对改善叶片运输的努力持支持态度。故选B。 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。 Everyone wants to feel more attractive.

From an early age, he had been told many times to stay calm or make himself look bigger when facing an animal that could easily overpower him. Although he had never had to use this advice, what he saw through the real-time video on his phone made him feel as if he had experienced it. It was a typical Saturday afternoon, sunny and breezy, when he was at the mall with his family, enjoying a rare day out together. They had just finished lunch at the food court and were on their way back home. However, as they were approaching home, an unexpected alarm on Josh’s security app disrupted their peaceful afternoon. The notification (通知) suddenly appeared on his screen, informing him that something was moving around his house. Initially, Josh thought it might be a stray animal or perhaps a neighbor’s curious pet. But as he quickly accessed the real-time footage from his security camera, his concern began to grow. There, on his driveway, was a bear, casually walking around as if it owned the place. Josh’s worry doubled when he noticed a delivery worker, unaware of the potential danger, heading towards his house with a package in hand. Unaware of the bear, the worker was walking into a potentially dangerous situation. With his phone still in hand, Josh quickly activated the two-way communication feature on his video doorbell, hoping to warn the worker. “Stop right there! There’s a bear! ” Josh’s voice came out through the speaker, clear and urgent. The worker froze, finally spotting the bear standing on top of a nearby wall, its eyes fixed on him. 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。 Instantly, the worker stepped back, clearly surprised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The worker’s quick thinking had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Instantly, the worker stepped back, clearly surprised. But then, instead of running away, he stood still. In a move that not everyone would think of in such a tense moment, the worker raised his arms in the air to make himself look bigger. Josh, watching the real-time video, could feel the tension as the bear decided what to do next. To his relief, the bear made its choice. Instead of attacking, it jumped down from the wall and quickly ran off into the neighborhood. The worker’s quick thinking had worked. The danger passed, and the bear, thankfully, wanted nothing more than to avoid the brave delivery worker. Josh rushed home to find the worker still standing at the driveway, a mix of relief visible on his face. “Thanks for the warning,” said the worker, a smile spreading across his face. “I didn’t know what to do, but raising my arms seemed like the best option.” Josh chuckled, impressed by the worker’s composure. “You handled it perfectly. Not everyone would have the courage to stand their ground like that.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述Josh住在加州厄普兰小镇，这里常有野生动物出没。一个周六下午，他与家人从商场回家途中，手机安防app警报突响，发现自家车道有头熊，眼见送货员不知情靠近，Josh急忙用门铃通话功能警告，送货员受惊停下。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“送货员立刻后退了一步，显然很惊讶。”可知，本段主要讲送货员从容面对熊，熊最后逃走了。 ②由第二段首句内容“送货员的敏捷思维奏效了。”可知，本段主要讲送货员脱离危险并感谢Josh。 2.续写线索：送货员从容面对——熊逃走——送货员脱离危险——送货员感谢Josh的提醒 3.词汇激活 行类 ①决定：decide/determine ②攻击：attack/assault ③跑离：run off/run away 情绪类 ①令人紧张的：tense/nervous ②勇敢的：brave/courageous 【点睛】高分句型1] In a move that not everyone would think of in such a tense moment, the worker raised his arms in the air to make himself look bigger.（运用了that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Josh, watching the real-time video, could feel the tension as the bear decided what to do next. （运用了现在分词作状语和as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] I didn’t know what to do, but raising my arms seemed like the best option. （运用了特殊疑问词+不定式作宾语和动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三12月联考英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial. Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?” Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.” 24. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product. C. To state the material of furniture. D. To show tennis’ popularity. 25. What function does paragraph 3 act as? A. A background. B. An example. C. A definition. D. A proof. 26. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls? A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help. C. She uses their characteristics. D. She adjusts their colors accordingly. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Wittock’s work plans. B. Wittock’s stuff sources. C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience. C Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies. Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒) , each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors. Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research. 28. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1? A. Special sensors detecting colors. B. A unique way for color reflection. C. Advanced software for image generation. D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination. 29. What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2? A. It is created by using cartridges. B. It’s a fully-developed technology. C. It comes from the same cartridges. D. It is related to images on mobile phones. 30. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology? A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature. B. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell. C. Regulating the strength and duration of scents. D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. A comparison between image combination and smell production. B. The development and challenges of digital scent technology. C. The advantages of updating a phone that can display images. D. The history and future of complex phone technology. D In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced. But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher. Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate (旋转) their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals — to within a few centimetres — if a blade could get through. For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter. The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort. 32. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Improvement. B. Advantage. C. Challenge. D. Disorder. 33. How were the wind turbines transported in the past? A. By using trucks with special devices to change the position of turbines. B. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns. C. By applying software to the big trees detection. D. By making digital models of the large blades. 34. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades? A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms. B. Using lighter materials to produce the blades. C. Increasing the number of transport permits. D. Reducing the length of the turbine blades. 35. What is the author’s attitude to the efforts to improve the transportation of blades? A. Ambiguous. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful. 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。 Everyone wants to feel more attractive.

From an early age, he had been told many times to stay calm or make himself look bigger when facing an animal that could easily overpower him. Although he had never had to use this advice, what he saw through the real-time video on his phone made him feel as if he had experienced it. It was a typical Saturday afternoon, sunny and breezy, when he was at the mall with his family, enjoying a rare day out together. They had just finished lunch at the food court and were on their way back home. However, as they were approaching home, an unexpected alarm on Josh’s security app disrupted their peaceful afternoon. The notification (通知) suddenly appeared on his screen, informing him that something was moving around his house. Initially, Josh thought it might be a stray animal or perhaps a neighbor’s curious pet. But as he quickly accessed the real-time footage from his security camera, his concern began to grow. There, on his driveway, was a bear, casually walking around as if it owned the place. Josh’s worry doubled when he noticed a delivery worker, unaware of the potential danger, heading towards his house with a package in hand. Unaware of the bear, the worker was walking into a potentially dangerous situation. With his phone still in hand, Josh quickly activated the two-way communication feature on his video doorbell, hoping to warn the worker. “Stop right there! There’s a bear! ” Josh’s voice came out through the speaker clear and urgent. The worker froze, finally spotting the bear standing on top of a nearby wall, its eyes fixed on him. 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。 Instantly, the worker stepped back, clearly surprised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The worker’s quick thinking had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意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。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
