B It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: by watching the meteor shower (流星雨). But this year was different. At 23, I was away from my family for the first time. I was working on my graduate degree in medicine as I had planned to do for the past 15 years. But now, watching the meteor shower, I began to question that path. In the weeks since starting my degree, I had met people in areas I had never considered — neuroscience, archaeology, and even astrophysics. Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby? Should I stick to my long-standing plans or turn to the unknown? Then another event helped me make a decision: a solar eclipse (日食). I found a quiet spot in a valley. The anticipation built as the Moon gradually slid in front of the Sun. Finally, the world around me became dark. The water was still, the birds became noisy, and the sunset surrounded me. I knew what I had to do. I gave up medicine to pursue previously unimagined options. Now, on my final year of my Ph. D. program in astronomy, I realize that my exposure to the night sky growing up gave me a great gift. It offered me a universal view: Facing our vast universe, our individual needs, desires, and insecurities become insignificant, bringing humanity together. It liberated me from allowing earthly worries, shame, or self-doubt to stand in the way of pursuing new dreams. I created a project called Dark Energy Explorers, a project that gets the public involved in real cutting-edge astronomical research. Now, it’s a community of 17,000 volunteers from 140 countries. During this year’s meteor shower, I’ll be presenting my research at the International Astronomical Union conference. The little girl inside me who watched the meteor shower from the backyard can’t wait to watch the same bits of rock and ice flash across the South African sky. 24. What happened to the author when watching the meteor shower? A. She decided to study medicine. B. She began to doubt her ability. C. She missed her family very much. D. She wanted to change her goal. 25. What played a major role in the author’s career option? A The various jobs she took up. B. The observation of a solar eclipse. C. The experience she had as a teacher. D. The encouragement from her family. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She has achieved success. B. She speaks all over the world. C. She is immature at heart. D. She turns to studying rocks. 27. What message can we get from the text? A. We must learn from our failures. B. The goal is far more ideal than the reality. C. The right choice is better than hard work. D. We should have the courage to pursue dreams. C Researcher Jesse Dodge did some math on the amount of energy AI chatbots use. “One query (查询) to ChatGPT uses about the same amount of electricity as lighting one electric lamp for about 20 minutes,” he says. “So, you can imagine with millions of people using something like that every day, that adds up to a really large amount of electricity.” Dodge has been studying how artificial intelligence consumes energy. To generate its answers, AI uses far more power than traditional Internet uses, like search queries or cloud storage. And as AI gets more complicated, it needs more energy to operate. In the U.S., a majority of that energy comes from burning fossil fuels like coal and gas which are primary drivers of climate change. Most companies working on AI, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI, don’t disclose their emissions. But, last week, Google released a new sustainability report. Deep within the 86-page report, Google said its greenhouse gas emissions rose last year by 48% since 2019. It owes that rise to its data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions. “As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging,” the report reads. Google has the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2030. Since 2007, the company has said its company operations were carbon neutral (碳中和的) because of the carbon offsets (碳补偿) it buys to match its emissions. But, starting in 2023, Google wrote in its sustainability report that it was no longer “maintaining operational carbon neutrality due to financial pressure”. The company says it’s still pushing for its net-zero goal in 2030. “Google’s real motivation here is to build the best AI systems that they can,” Dodge says. “And they’re willing to pour a ton of resources into that, including things like training AI systems on bigger and bigger data centers all the way up to supercomputers, which causes a large amount of electricity consumption and therefore CO2 emissions.” Microsoft has taken its climate pledge one step further than Google, saying it will be carbon negative by 2030. However, it too is facing difficulty because of its focus on AI. 28. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. AI’s great demand for energy. B. AI’s scientific improvement. C. The powerful function of AI. D. The complicated operation of AI. 29. Why does Google change its promise to maintain operational carbon neutrality? A It is becoming less important. B. The cost might be too large. C. It goes against the whole plan. D. The aim has nearly been achieved. 30. What does the underlined word “pledge” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Commitment. B. Analysis. C. Feature. D. Change. 31. What is the aim of this text? A. To advertise. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To entertain. D A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients. Supporting this exciting smart soil system is a hydrogel (水凝胶) material. In experiments, the soil containing hydrogel led to the growth of larger, healthier plants, compared to regular soil, all while using less water and fertilizer. The technology is also universal enough to be adopted across a wide range of climates, from dry regions to temperate areas. Agriculture today accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals and up to 95% in some developing countries as our global population continues to rise. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) emphasizes the importance of improving irrigation (灌溉) efficiency, adopting water-saving technologies and promoting crops with lower water footprints to ensure sustainable food production and water resource management. Meanwhile, traditional farming methods, especially irrigation and fertilizing, face significant difficulties. As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent. Additionally, conventional fertilization techniques often result in too much nutrient exposure, reducing nutrient uptake efficiency and causing environmental pollution, and farmable land degradation. “The lack of water coupled with a growing population has an immediate impact on food security,” said Yu, professor of Materials Science in the Cockrell School. “This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.” In experiments, plants rooted in the hydrogel soil saw a 138% increase in crop length compared to a control group in regular soil. And the improved soil can achieve 40% water savings, significantly reducing the need for frequent irrigation and ensuring strong crop development. This research builds on previous discoveries involving hydrogels that can pull water from the atmosphere and make farming more efficient. The project will continue, and the researchers’ next moves involve integrating different types of fertilizers and longer field tests. 32. What is special about the smart soil? A. It provides air to regular soil. B. It can absorb water from the air. C. It creates fertilizer with air. D. It can be used all over the world. 33. What is a challenge traditional farming methods face? A. The shortage of fertilizer. B. The lack of qualified seeds. C. The decrease of labor force. D. The inefficient irrigation methods. 34. What does Professor Yu think of the new system? A. It is impractical. B. It is simple. C. It is time-consuming. D. It is far-reaching. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Smart Soil Can Water and Feed Itself B. Hydrogel Will Take the Place of Soil C. Modern Agriculture Is Facing Drought D. Smart Soil Is Approved for Promotion 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。 Every time I put on my seat belt, check my mirror and turn on the engine, I type in the address of wherever I’m going into my phone. ____36____ Without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, I’d feel lost.

At the time, the two were competing for the top prize, an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, allowing the winner to compete further in the tournament for a bigger reward. After losing to Harris, Redhead was upset and took his frustration to Facebook, criticizing Harris in a post at the time. However, mutual (共有的) friends who had seen the post later defended Harris in the comment section, urging Redhead to eventually take the post down and apologize to Harris. “And then I learned over time that Harris is actually a really good guy,” Redhead, 42, told the media, “And, you know, we went to other tournaments together, we would bet on people together and stuff like that... so we really started to bond from there.” Over the years, that bond grew, and the two ended up spending more time with each other and sharing their passion for pool competitions. In 2020, Harris, who had been suffering from kidney (肾) disease, was told he had complete kidney failure. He said the medical staff at the University of Maryland Medical Center immediately wheeled him into surgery so they could get him on dialysis (透析). “I didn’t know dialysis means your kidneys are no longer working. So that means you need a transplant — but they don’t spring all that on you at once,” recalled Harris, now 54, who was later placed on the UMMC transplant waiting list, with the understanding that he might wait years for a matching donor kidney, according to the hospital. Harris’ wife Denise volunteered to become his kidney donor and went through the testing process. But it turned out that she was a mismatch. 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。 She then shared her husband’s story in a pool tournament group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, tests showed that Redhead was a perfect match for his former pool opponent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025 高三省级联测考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名及考号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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 23, I was away from my family for the first time. I was working on my graduate degree in medicine as I had planned to do for the past 15 years. But now, watching the meteor shower, I began to question that path. In the weeks since starting my degree, I had met people in areas I had never considered — neuroscience, archaeology, and even astrophysics. Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby? Should I stick to my long-standing plans or turn to the unknown? Then another event helped me make a decision: a solar eclipse (日食). I found a quiet spot in a valley. The anticipation built as the Moon gradually slid in front of the Sun. Finally, the world around me became dark. The water was still, the birds became noisy, and the sunset surrounded me. I knew what I had to do. I gave up medicine to pursue previously unimagined options. Now, on my final year of my Ph. D. program in astronomy, I realize that my exposure to the night sky growing up gave me a great gift. It offered me a universal view: Facing our vast universe, our individual needs, desires, and insecurities become insignificant, bringing humanity together. It liberated me from allowing earthly worries, shame, or self-doubt to stand in the way of pursuing new dreams. I created a project called Dark Energy Explorers, a project that gets the public involved in real cutting-edge astronomical research. Now, it’s a community of 17,000 volunteers from 140 countries. During this year’s meteor shower, I’ll be presenting my research at the International Astronomical Union conference. The little girl inside me who watched the meteor shower from the backyard can’t wait to watch the same bits of rock and ice flash across the South African sky. 24. What happened to the author when watching the meteor shower? A. She decided to study medicine. B. She began to doubt her ability. C. She missed her family very much. D. She wanted to change her goal. 25. What played a major role in the author’s career option? A. The various jobs she took up. B. The observation of a solar eclipse. C. The experience she had as a teacher. D. The encouragement from her family. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She has achieved success. B. She speaks all over the world. C. She is immature at heart. D. She turns to studying rocks. 27. What message can we get from the text? A. We must learn from our failures. B. The goal is far more ideal than the reality. C. The right choice is better than hard work. D. We should have the courage to pursue dreams. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者放弃所学专业，重新规划人生，勇于追求自己对天文学梦想的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was working on my graduate degree in medicine as I had planned to do for the past 15 years. But now, watching the meteor shower, I began to question that path.(我正在攻读医学研究生学位，这是我过去15年一直计划要做的事情。但现在，看着流星雨，我开始质疑那条道路。)”以及下文作者放弃医学而去研究天文学可知，作者在看流星雨时打算改变自己未来的职业追求。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then another event helped me make a decision: a solar eclipse (日食). I found a quiet spot in a valley. The anticipation built as the Moon gradually slid in front of the Sun. Finally, the world around me became dark. The water was still, the birds became noisy, and the sunset surrounded me. I knew what I had to do. I gave up medicine to pursue previously unimagined options.(然后，另一件事帮助我做出了决定：日食。我在山谷里找到了一个安静的地方。随着月球逐渐滑到太阳前面，人们的期待越来越强烈。最后，我周围的世界变暗了。水面静了下来，鸟儿也开始鸣叫起来，夕阳环绕着我。我知道我该怎么做。我放弃了医学，去追求以前无法想象的选择。)”可知，观测日食在作者的职业选择中起到了主要作用。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I created a project called Dark Energy Explorers, a project that gets the public involved in real cutting-edge astronomical research. Now, it’s a community of 17,000 volunteers from 140 countries.

To generate its answers, AI uses far more power than traditional Internet uses, like search queries or cloud storage. And as AI gets more complicated, it needs more energy to operate. In the U.S., a majority of that energy comes from burning fossil fuels like coal and gas which are primary drivers of climate change. Most companies working on AI, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI, don’t disclose their emissions. But, last week, Google released a new sustainability report. Deep within the 86-page report, Google said its greenhouse gas emissions rose last year by 48% since 2019. It owes that rise to its data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions. “As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging,” the report reads. Google has the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2030. Since 2007, the company has said its company operations were carbon neutral (碳中和的) because of the carbon offsets (碳补偿) it buys to match its emissions. But, starting in 2023, Google wrote in its sustainability report that it was no longer “maintaining operational carbon neutrality due to financial pressure”. The company says it’s still pushing for its net-zero goal in 2030. “Google’s real motivation here is to build the best AI systems that they can,” Dodge says. “And they’re willing to pour a ton of resources into that, including things like training AI systems on bigger and bigger data centers all the way up to supercomputers, which causes a large amount of electricity consumption and therefore CO2 emissions.” Microsoft has taken its climate pledge one step further than Google, saying it will be carbon negative by 2030. However, it too is facing difficulty because of its focus on AI. 28. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. AI’s great demand for energy. B. AI’s scientific improvement. C The powerful function of AI. D. The complicated operation of AI. 29. Why does Google change its promise to maintain operational carbon neutrality? A. It is becoming less important. B. The cost might be too large. C. It goes against the whole plan. D. The aim has nearly been achieved. 30. What does the underlined word “pledge” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Commitment. B. Analysis. C. Feature. D. Change. 31. What is the aim of this text? A. To advertise. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To entertain. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能对能源的大量消耗，从而造成温室气体排放量的大幅度增加，给实现碳中和目标带来了困难。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Most companies working on AI, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI, don’t disclose their emissions. But, last week, Google released a new sustainability report. Deep within the 86-page report, Google said its greenhouse gas emissions rose last year by 48% since 2019. It owes that rise to its data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions.(大多数从事人工智能研究的公司，包括ChatGPT的制造商OpenAI，都没有披露他们的排放量。但是，上周谷歌发布了一份新的可持续发展报告。在这份长达86页的报告中，谷歌表示，自2019年以来，其去年的温室气体排放量增长了48%。该公司将这一增长归因于其数据中心的能源消耗和供应链排放)”可知，本段中心讨论的话题是人工智能对能源的巨大需求。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Deep within the 86-page report, Google said its greenhouse gas emissions rose last year by 48% since 2019.(在这份长达86页的报告中，谷歌表示，自2019年以来，其去年的温室气体排放量增长了48%)”，第四段““As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging,” the report reads. Google has the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2030. Since 2007, the company has said its company operations were carbon neutral (碳中和的) because of the carbon offsets (碳补偿) it buys to match its emissions. But, starting in 2023, Google wrote in its sustainability report that it was no longer “maintaining operational carbon neutrality due to financial pressure”. The company says it’s still pushing for its net-zero goal in 2030.(“随着我们将人工智能进一步集成到我们的产品中，减少排放可能会面临挑战，”报告写道。谷歌的目标是到2030年实现净零排放。自2007年以来，该公司一直表示，由于其购买的碳补偿与排放量相匹配，因此其公司运营已实现碳中和。但谷歌在其可持续发展报告中写道，从2023年开始，由于财务压力，该公司将不再“保持运营碳中和”。该公司表示，它仍在努力实现2030年的净零目标)”可知，随着人工智能的大量使用，排放的碳越来越多，减少碳排放已经是一个挑战，很难做到再花大量的钱进行碳补偿。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“The company says it’s still pushing for its net-zero goal in 2030.(该公司表示，它仍在努力实现2030年的净零目标)”可知，这是一个承诺，再根据后文“one step further than Google, saying it will be carbon negative by 2030.(比谷歌更进一步，表示到2030年将实现碳负排放)”可知，应是“微软在气候承诺方面比谷歌更进一步”之意，推知pledge意为“承诺”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researcher Jesse Dodge did some math on the amount of energy AI chatbots use. “One query (查询) to ChatGPT uses about the same amount of electricity as lighting one electric lamp for about 20 minutes,” he says. “So, you can imagine with millions of people using something like that every day, that adds up to a really large amount of electricity.”(研究人员Jesse Dodge对人工智能聊天机器人使用的能源进行了一些计算。他说：“对ChatGPT进行一次查询所消耗的电量相当于点亮一盏电灯20分钟。”“所以，你可以想象，每天有数百万人使用这样的东西，这加起来会产生非常大的电量。”)”以及纵观全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员杰西•道奇(Jesse Dodge)对人工智能聊天机器人使用能源的调查，并介绍了谷歌发布的可持续发展报告中碳排放的数据，告诉人们人工智能会耗费大量能源这一事实。故选C。 D A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients. Supporting this exciting smart soil system is a hydrogel (水凝胶) material. In experiments, the soil containing hydrogel led to the growth of larger, healthier plants, compared to regular soil, all while using less water and fertilizer. The technology is also universal enough to be adopted across a wide range of climates, from dry regions to temperate areas. Agriculture today accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals and up to 95% in some developing countries as our global population continues to rise. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) emphasizes the importance of improving irrigation (灌溉) efficiency, adopting water-saving technologies and promoting crops with lower water footprints to ensure sustainable food production and water resource management. Meanwhile, traditional farming methods, especially irrigation and fertilizing, face significant difficulties. As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent. Additionally, conventional fertilization techniques often result in too much nutrient exposure, reducing nutrient uptake efficiency and causing environmental pollution, and farmable land degradation. “The lack of water coupled with a growing population has an immediate impact on food security,” said Yu, professor of Materials Science in the Cockrell School. “This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.” In experiments, plants rooted in the hydrogel soil saw a 138% increase in crop length compared to a control group in regular soil. And the improved soil can achieve 40% water savings, significantly reducing the need for frequent irrigation and ensuring strong crop development. This research builds on previous discoveries involving hydrogels that can pull water from the atmosphere and make farming more efficient. The project will continue, and the researchers’ next moves involve integrating different types of fertilizers and longer field tests. 32. What is special about the smart soil? A. It provides air to regular soil. B. It can absorb water from the air. C. It creates fertilizer with air. D. It can be used all over the world. 33. What is a challenge traditional farming methods face? A. The shortage of fertilizer. B. The lack of qualified seeds. C. The decrease of labor force. D. The inefficient irrigation methods. 34. What does Professor Yu think of the new system? A. It is impractical. B. It is simple. C. It is time-consuming. D. It is far-reaching. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Smart Soil Can Water and Feed Itself B. Hydrogel Will Take the Place of Soil C. Modern Agriculture Is Facing Drought D. Smart Soil Is Approved for Promotion 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型智能土壤系统，这种系统使用了含水凝胶的土壤，从而可以用更少的水和肥料培育出更大、更健康的植物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients.(一种新型工程土壤可以从稀薄的空气中汲取水分，为植物提供水分，并控制肥料的释放，以保持养分的持续供应)”可知，这种土壤的特别之处是能够从稀薄的空气中汲取水分。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent.(随着气候变化加剧和水资源日益稀缺，对更有效和可持续的灌溉做法的需求从未像现在这样迫切)”可知，传统农业方法面临的挑战之一是灌溉方法低效。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段Professor Yu所说的“This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.(这种新型水凝胶提供了一种解决方案，可以满足现代可持续农业对水和有效营养吸收的迫切需求)”可知，这种新型水凝胶提供了一个很有前途的解决方案，可以满足现代可持续农业对水和有效营养吸收的迫切需求，因此是意义深远的。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients.(一种新型工程土壤可以从稀薄的空气中汲取水分，为植物提供水分，并控制肥料的释放，以保持养分的持续供应)”提出了一种新型土壤，这种土壤可以从空气中汲取水分，并能控制化肥的用量。然后文章通过与普通土壤的对比介绍了新型土壤的优势。由此可知，本文主要介绍了一种可以自动浇水和施肥的智能土壤，所以A项“智能土壤可以自我浇水和喂养”为本文最好的标题。故选A。 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。 Every time I put on my seat belt, check my mirror and turn on the engine, I type in the address of wherever I’m going into my phone. ____36____ Without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, I’d feel lost. It makes me wonder: Is there anything I can do to improve my navigation (导航) skills? The answer is yes. Here are some steps you can take to boost your sense of direction. ____37____ If you’re not pressed for time, give up the automobile navigation and try to find your way around town. Next time you go for a walk, go down a road you’ve not walked. Or take the scenic route to your favorite bar. This works if you’re walking, biking or driving. Then see if you can make it back home without a GPS. Use landmarks to direct yourself. ____38____ To identify your position, the experts suggest picking a few landmarks in town to help navigate yourself. The ideal landmark is large and far away, like a big sign, a highway, a tall building or a bridge. Be curious about your surroundings. Whether you’re going somewhere new or to a place you’ve been to many times, it’s helpful to just turn around and see what the view looks like behind you. ____39____ This gives you visual reminders on how to get back. Use memory tricks to remember where you are. People with a good sense of direction know their streets. If you aren’t such a person, you can try an expert navigation method. Commit street names, landmarks and routes to memory by using tricks to lock things in. ____40____ A. Take your time to map your town. B. I have a terrible sense of direction. C. Turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose. D. What landmarks will you recommend to visitors? E. This is especially helpful when street names are abstract. F. Not sure if you’re north, south, east or west from home? G. Looking at your surroundings can help you remember your route. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高方向感的几个步骤。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Every time I put on my seat belt, check my mirror and turn on the engine, I type in the address of wherever I’m going into my phone.(每次我系上安全带，检查后视镜，发动引擎，我都会在手机上输入我要去的地方的地址。)”和下文“Without the guide of GPS — the Global Positioning System — not only would I be lost, I’d feel lost.(如果没有全球定位系统（GPS）的引导，我不仅会迷路，还会感到迷茫。)”可知，作者每次出行都要依靠GPS，如果没有GPS的引导，作者不仅会迷路，还会感到迷茫，这说明作者的方向感很差。所以选项B“我的方向感很差”符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 设空处为段首句，引领下文；根据下文“If you’re not pressed for time, give up the automobile navigation and try to find your way around town.(如果你时间不急，放弃汽车导航，试着在城里找路。)”可知，本段建议关掉汽车导航，试着在城里自己找路，故意让自己迷路，以此来提高导航技能。所以选项C“关掉你的GPS，故意迷路”符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据下文“To identify your position, the experts suggest picking a few landmarks in town to help navigate yourself.(为了确定你的位置，专家建议在城里挑选一些地标来帮助你导航。)”可知，本段建议利用地标来给自己指引方向，确定自己的位置，说明有时候我们可能不清楚自己的具体位置，所以需要地标来帮忙确定，选项F“不确定你家是在北边、南边、东边还是西边？”引出下文，符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Whether you’re going somewhere new or to a place you’ve been to many times, it’s helpful to just turn around and see what the view looks like behind you.(无论你是要去一个新的地方，还是去过很多次的地方，只要转过身来看看身后的景色，都会很有帮助。)”和下文“This gives you visual reminders on how to get back.(这给了你视觉上的提示，告诉你如何回去。)”可知，本段建议多观察周围的环境，转过身来看看身后的景色，这有助于记住路线，给自己如何返回提供视觉上的提示，选项G“观察周围的环境可以帮助你记住路线”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Commit street names, landmarks and routes to memory by using tricks to lock things in.(通过使用技巧来锁定事物，将街道名称、地标和路线牢记在心。)”可知，本段建议使用记忆技巧来记住自己所在的位置，通过技巧将街道名称、地标和路线牢记在心，这对于街道名称很抽象的情况特别有帮助，选项E“当街道名称很抽象时，这尤其有帮助”符合语境，“This”指代上文中“Commit street names, landmarks and routes to memory by using tricks to lock things in”。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Out of the millions of people who post videos online, few achieve fame and fortune.

It is the only solar term ____56____ directly references agricultural activities, while its ____57____ (pronounce) in Putonghua sounds the same as “busy planting.” Mang refers to the awn (芒) on the seeds of grain plants. Mangzhong refers to awn- bearing wheat that needs ___58___ (harvest) quickly, while awn-bearing rice can be planted. That is why farmers are at their busiest time during the 15-day mangzhong term.

Heavy rain ____60____ (see) more frequently and temperatures are high. To deal with ____61____ heat, people in South China have the custom of preparing plum (梅子) wine. Since the Three Kingdoms Period, stories of how people ____62____ (drink) plum wine while telling heroic tales have been passed down in the classics. South of the Yangtze River, people also have the custom of saving up rain during this season. In classical books, it says that rainwater was collected for boiling tea and if ____63____ (store) in smaller containers such as bottles, the rainwater could be saved even ____64____ (long). People need to drink more water with a small amount of salt to regain the salt in their bodies. Sufficient rest ____65____ sleep are also necessary to stay healthy. 【答案】56. that 57. pronunciation 58. harvesting##to be harvested 59. their 60. is seen 61. the 62. drank 63. stored 64. longer 65. and 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国24节气中的第9个节气——芒种。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：“芒种”，或称“Grain in Ear”，是24节气中的第9个节气。空处引导定语从句，先行词为“the only solar term”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，由于先行词前有the only修饰，所以只能用关系代词that。故填that。 【57题详解】 考查名词。句意：它是唯一一个直接指代农业活动的节气，同时其在普通话中的发音与“忙种”（意为忙着种植）相同。空处作主语，需用名词pronunciation。故填pronunciation。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“芒种”指的是需要迅速收割的带芒小麦，同时也可以种植带芒的水稻。need doing/to be done为固定搭配，意为“需要被做”。故填harvesting/to be harvested。 【59题详解】 考查代词。句意：在这个时期，农作物对水的需求达到最大，同时农民也必须努力除草。此处需要填入形容词性物主代词来修饰名词demand，they的形容词性物主代词为their。故填their。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：这个季节的天气也发生了变化，暴雨更加频繁，温度也很高。此处介绍芒种期间的天气情况，属于自然现象，所以应用一般现在时；因为主语是不可数名词rain，且和动词see之间是被动关系，所以应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is seen。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：为了应对炎热，华南地区的人们有酿制梅子酒的习俗。此处特指芒种期间的炎热天气，所以使用定冠词the。故填the。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：自三国时期以来，人们一边喝梅子酒一边讲述英雄故事的经典传闻就流传了下来。根据时间状语“Since the Three Kingdoms Period”可知，句子描述的是过去的事情，所以使用一般过去时，drink的过去式为drank。故填drank。 【63题详解】 考查省略句。句意：古典书籍中记载，人们会收集雨水来煮茶，而且如果将雨水储存在如瓶子等较小的容器中，可以保存得更久。此处为if引导的条件状语从句的省略形式，完整形式应为“if it is stored”，由于主从句主语一致且从句中有be动词，所以可以省略主语和be动词，只留下过去分词stored。故填stored。 【64题详解】 考查比较级。句意同上。根据修饰语even判断，此处填比较级longer。故填longer。 【65题详解】 考查连词。句意：充足的休息和睡眠也是保持健康所必需的。此处连接两个并列的名词短语“Sufficient rest”和“sleep”，表示两者都是保持健康所必需的，所以使用并列连词and。故填and。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 阅读是丰富学生暑假生活的有效措施，为了鼓励学生多读书，读好书，请你以校刊英语栏目编辑李华的身份，用英语写一份倡议书。内容包括： 1.读书的好处; 2.倡导假期阅读。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ English editor, Li Hua 【答案】Dear students, As we all know, reading is a pleasant experience, it can open doors to new worlds and broaden our horizons.

At the time, the two were competing for the top prize, an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, allowing the winner to compete further in the tournament for a bigger reward. After losing to Harris, Redhead was upset and took his frustration to Facebook, criticizing Harris in a post at the time. However, mutual (共有的) friends who had seen the post later defended Harris in the comment section, urging Redhead to eventually take the post down and apologize to Harris. “And then I learned over time that Harris is actually a really good guy,” Redhead, 42, told the media, “And, you know, we went to other tournaments together, we would bet on people together and stuff like that... so we really started to bond from there.” Over the years, that bond grew, and the two ended up spending more time with each other and sharing their passion for pool competitions. In 2020, Harris, who had been suffering from kidney (肾) disease, was told he had complete kidney failure. He said the medical staff at the University of Maryland Medical Center immediately wheeled him into surgery so they could get him on dialysis (透析). “I didn’t know dialysis means your kidneys are no longer working. So that means you need a transplant — but they don’t spring all that on you at once,” recalled Harris, now 54, who was later placed on the UMMC transplant waiting list, with the understanding that he might wait years for a matching donor kidney, according to the hospital. Harris’ wife Denise volunteered to become his kidney donor and went through the testing process. But it turned out that she was a mismatch. 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。 She then shared her husband’s story in a pool tournament group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, tests showed that Redhead was a perfect match for his former pool opponent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She then shared her husband’s story in a pool tournament group. Soon, Redhead saw the post and immediately had a talk with Denise on the phone, learning more details about Harris’ situation. Denise said that they didn’t know when they could get the right kidney, and they were struggling with that. Then Redhead said in a firm voice, “Well, I’ll do it.” Hearing this, Denise was so moved and started crying. “You don’t even know what that means to us,” she told Redhead. Luckily, tests showed that Redhead was a perfect match for his former pool opponent. The good news made Denise very excited and there was a hope for Harris to live a normal life. Redhead and Harris underwent a successful kidney transplant in the hospital. Harris recovered soon and the two went on to play pool tournaments together. As Redhead reflected on his decision to become Harris’ donor, he said it was “the right thing to do. Someone needed my kidney to help save their life. I’m proud that I can do my part to make a difference in someone else’s life.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了James Harris Jr.和Russ Redhead两位因美式台球比赛而结缘的朋友之间的故事。他们最初在一次美国台球玩家协会的锦标赛中相遇并成为竞争对手，后来尽管在比赛中产生过不愉快，但随着时间的推移，两人逐渐成为了好朋友，并共同参与了多次台球比赛，分享了对台球比赛的热爱。然而，Harris后来不幸被诊断出患有完全性肾衰竭，需要接受透析治疗并等待肾移植。尽管他的妻子自愿成为捐肾者，但遗憾的是配型不成功。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后，她在台球锦标赛小组里分享了她丈夫的故事。”可知，第一段可描写雷德黑德了解情况并决定捐肾脏的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，测试显示雷德黑德与他曾经的台球对手完美匹配。”可知，第二段可描写手术成功完成以及雷德黑德的感悟。 2.续写线索：了解细节——决定捐肾——丹尼斯感动——手术成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 经历：undergo/go through 继续：go on/carry on 思考：reflect on/think about 帮助：help/assist 情绪类 感动的：moved/touched 兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Soon, Redhead saw the post and immediately had a talk with Denise on the phone, learning more details about Harris’ situation.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Denise said that they didn’t know when they could get the right kidney, and they were struggling with that.（运用了that引导宾语从句，when引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
