St. James’s Park At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight Royal Parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-colored flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ. Hyde Park From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a center of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts. Regent’s Park As one of the largest park of central London Regen’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent's Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theater during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline. Hampstead Heath With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London. 21. Which is the smallest of the eight Royal Parks? A. St. James’s Park. B. Regent’s Park. C. The Green Park. D. Hyde Park. 22. What do Hyde Park and Regent’s Park have in common? A. Summer performances. B. Ice-skating. C. Boating races. D. Hunting. 23. What can visitors do in Hampstead Heath? A Enjoy concerts. B. Meet Princess Diana. C. Go for a swim. D. Visit Regent’s Canal. B Most people aren’t familiar with where Lesotho is. When I was asked to go there as a teacher, I didn’t know either. Lesotho is a small, mountainous country surrounded by its larger neighbor, South Africa. Winters are so cold and dry that trees can only survive if they’re near a spring or river. So when I met Wilfred, who had many trees to plant on his way home, I had to see what he’d done. My brother and I made the two-hour hike one winter morning. As we came around the mountain, we saw lots of trees. We continued on and reached Wilfred’s home in an area surrounded by a wonder: a garden with peach and pear trees. I was amazed at what Wilfred had achieved, but he said most of the work was done by his father, Mr Pitso. I felt great admiration for Mr Pitso. He mentioned that he started planting peach trees 20 years earlier. At first, people were resentful, and several times others removed his trees because they felt it was unfair for him to have something they didn’t have. To solve the problem, Mr Pitso gave his trees away freely to his neighbors. He also organized tree-planting days at the primary school where he worked and started a tree-buying cooperative to get funds from the government. He showed people how they could make tree-growing profitable by selling fruit and firewood. In times of drought, although he was in his sixties, he carried buckets of water from the small stream to his trees. As we left, Mr Pitso told us that before he died, he hoped to see the barren (贫瘠的) valley around his home covered with trees. When faced with challenges in my life, I remember Mr Pitso’s dream. The poor primary school teacher living in the mountains of Lesotho gives me hope. 24. Why did the author decide to visit Wilfred’s home? A. To help Wilfred plant peach trees. B. To get some firewood for the winter. C. To see Wilfred’s tree-planting efforts. D. To learn about Wilfred’s living conditions. 25. What does the underlined word “resentful” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Confused. B. Annoyed. C. Careless. D. Helpless. 26. Which of the following words best describe Mr Pitso? A. Caring and strong-willed. B. Demanding and high-spirited. C. Creative and self-centered. D. Determined and good-humored. 27. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text? A. To introduce the geography of Lesotho. B. To explain the importance of tree-planting. C. To discuss the challenges of teaching abroad. D. To share a hopeful story about protecting nature. C Windows brighten a room, and give us a view outside of it. They also let in a large amount of heat from the sun. In fact, about 87% of heat gains in a given space come through its windows. This is because ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation passes through glass easily. To keep out the heat, people use window coverings like curtains, but this also blocks the view. A recent study indicates that soon people who love a view — but hate the heat — will be able to have it both ways. The study presents a new window coating that could let in sunlight and keep out the heat. Window films and heat-blocking coatings are not a new concept. So what’s new about this coating? It’s all about the angles. Because windows are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles throughout the day. If a given coating only blocks ultraviolet light at a 90-degree angle, it is only useful at the time of day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the window is always changing. Our coating maintains functionality and efficiency wherever the sun’s position is in the sky,” said the lead author of the study. Instead of trying to use trial and error, which could take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning model assisted by quantum (量子的) computing to figure out the way to create an ideal window coating. The coating can remain clear and keep a room cool at any given hour of the day, regardless of the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the window. There are endless numbers of practical applications for this new window coating, from commercial use to home use, and even for use in the cars. It will certainly lower energy use as people all over the world turn off their air conditioners and electric fans and still enjoy the view. 28. What is a disadvantage of window coverings? A They are expensive. B. They are difficult to install. C. They prevent the view outside. D. They can’t block the heat effectively. 29. What makes the new window coating unique? A. It blocks all sunlight. B. It is efficient at a fixed angle. C. It changes color with sunlight. D. It works in all sunlight conditions. 30. How did scientists develop the new window coating? A. By trial and error. B. With quantum computing and AI. C. By imitating existing window films. D. With traditional machine-learning models. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the new window coating? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic. D Human conversations are rapid-fire affairs, with mere milliseconds, one-thousandth of a second, passing between one person’s speech and their partner’s response. This speedy turn taking is universal across cultures — but now it turns out that chimps (黑猩猩) do it, too. By analyzing thousands of gestures from chimps in East Africa, researchers found that the animals take turns while communicating, and do so as quickly as we do. Researchers sorted out hundreds of hours of footage from a large database of chimp gestural interactions. The researchers studied the footage, describing the movements each chimp made. They found the chimps responded to gestures with another gesture in their interactions. In one case, two chimps exchanged seven gestures in a row: Young male Daudi in Uganda had caught a small antelope, and young female Onyofi was requesting some of the meat. Every time she made a begging gesture, Daudi would respond by moving his arms and stamping his feet-gestures that mean“move away, go away”. This turn taking was rapid and often overlapping, seeming to flow naturally like in human conversations. What’s more, it took chimps an average of just 120 milliseconds to respond to another chimp's gesture with their own, well within the 0-to 200-millisecond range common in human interactions. “The work has important implications for the origins of human communication” says Stephen Levinson, a linguist. Humans may have got turn-taking behavior from our last common ancestor with other great apes (类人猿). Finding one of those features-turn taking-in our close cousins suggests that even the earliest humans already had this ability. However, some researchers say it’s too early to conclude that humans and chimps both got this ability from our ancestor. “Without looking at other species, we can’t make that claim. We don’t know if this is something special about chimps’ communication, or whether it’s been found there first ‘because we firstly think of chimps when we’re asking evolutionary (进化的) questions’,” an animal communication researcher said. 32. What is the common understanding of the turn taking? A. It refers to all kinds of communicating skills. B. It generally exists among different cultures. C. It is a factor that distinguishes people from animals. D. It can be learned by chimps with people’s guideline. 33. Why does the author mention Daudi and Onyofi? A. To make a contrast. B. To make a comment. C. To explain a rule. D. To clarify a concept. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The scientists will do more research. B. More chimps will be sent to be studied. C. The researchers’ conclusion is fully recognized. D. The study of evolution is closely related to chimps. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Chimps study to take turn from humans B. Chimps take turns while chatting just like humans C. Chimps use their own words to chat with their partners D. Chimps get the ability of taking turn from our ancestors 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。 Problems between parents and children are common.

Every time he practiced quite attentively, as if there had been someone looking at him not blinking an eye. At the end of each lesson he would always say, “My mom’s going to hear me play some day.” But it seemed hopeless. Then one day Tom stopped coming. Not thinking over the reason for his absence, I continued to teach other kids. The recital (独奏会) was coming and I asked all the students, except Tom, to prepare it. I nearly forgot there had been such a kid once appearing in my class. But on the day before the recital, Tom came and asked me if he could play on the stage, which surprised me. I told him that he had dropped out. He said his mom had been sick and unable to take him to lessons, but he was still practicing at home. “I’ve just got to play,” he insisted. At that moment, something inside me let me allow him to. So I nodded and let him play. Then came the recital night. The gym was packed with parents. They all looked forward to the children’s wonderful performances. Worried about his immature skill, I put Tom up last to perform. Then Tom came up on stage at last. He pulled out the piano bench and began. His fingers were jumping on the keyboard. Seeing this, I had to admit a fact-never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After he ended, everyone was on their feet in wild applause for his jaw-dropping performance, including me. I was completely shocked with his performance. 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。 In tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Tom. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What Tom said shocked me a lot. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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?

How did you make it?” I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. Tom explained, “Well, Miss White…Remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she had cancer and passed away yesterday. However, I believed she could hear me play tonight.” What Tom said shocked me a lot. I realized then that Tom’s performance wasn’t just for himself, but for the love and support of his mother. Hardly could I believe how such a little kid like Tom could bear so many sufferings and hardships with only immature shoulders. Gently, I brought him into my arms and offered him an affectionate hug, attempting to comfort him, but only to fail to contain my own tears. I wiped my tears away quickly and forced a smile, “You did quite well! Mom’s heard it and was proud of you!” Tom nodded, looking in the distance. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
