It has a rich history and several cultural traditions associated with it. People celebrate by spending time with their older family members to show love and appreciation. This festival highlights the importance of family and taking care of one another. Hiking It is a cherished tradition in China. This festival offers a perfect opportunity to be addicted to the beauty of nature as autumn sets in. Hiking on Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty, and a lot of poems were devoted to this custom. Admiring chrysanthemums (菊花) It is a one more long-standing tradition. Chrysanthemums have long been associated with the idea of longevity (长寿) and health in Chinese culture. The bright yellow and white colours of the flower are believed to bring positive energy to people. Drinking chrysanthemum wine Chrysanthemum flowers are highly regarded in Chinese culture and are often associated with good fortune, prosperity, and love. They are considered a symbol of happiness and good luck. This symbolism makes chrysanthemum wine a popular choice during festive occasions. Eating Chongyang Cake It is a cultural and symbolic tradition that is completely consistent with the spirit of the Double Ninth Festival. This cake represents longevity, respect for the elderly, and the joy of celebrating the autumn season, making it an essential part of the festivities during this special holiday. 21. Which of the following is related to good fortune according to the text? A. Hiking. B. White wine. C. Chrysanthemum. D. Chongyang Cake. 22 What do chrysanthemums and Chongyang Cake both represent? A. Lengthened life. B. Natural beauty. C. Great wealth. D. Respecting teachers. 23. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Food. B. Culture. C. Nature. D. Education. B In the summer of 1952, six-year-old Paul was playing outside in Dallas, Texas, when he suddenly felt his neck hurt and his head was pounding. When he went inside to find his mum, she immediately knew what was wrong. One of the worst polio (小儿麻痹症) outbreaks the country had ever seen was sweeping the US. Paul’s mum took him to their doctor, who confirmed her guess — he had polio. The doctor advised that he rest at home, as the hospital was already overflowing with sick children. But Paul quickly deteriorated and then he was struggling to breathe. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital and began to lose consciousness (意识). When he woke up, he was in an iron lung. An iron lung is a huge, airtight (密封的) metal box that helps polio patients to breathe. The next 18 months, he was unable to talk in hospital. He tried to make friends with other children by communicating with his eyes. Paul was determined not to be defeated after knowing his condition. Paul learned a special breathing technique known as frog breathing. With the help of this technique, he could leave the iron lung for short amounts of time. Even so, it was difficult for Paul to lead a normal life. He was determined to get a good education, but he wasn’t always able to write, so he learned to memorize information rather than take notes. He was home-schooled, and in 1967, at 21, he graduated from high school. He went on to receive a scholarship to the Southern Methodist University. Paul became a world record holder in 2022 after spending the longest amount of time living in an iron lung. To add to his achievements, Paul spent more than eight years writing a memoir called Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung. He expected it to encourage more people like him to fight against their fate (命运). 24. What did Paul do when feeling uncomfortable in the summer of 1952? A. He turned to his mother for help. B. He struggled to breathe. C. He fell down unconscious. D. He contacted his doctor immediately. 25. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Recovered. B. Worsened. C. Begged. D. Fell. 26. How did Paul break away from his iron lung for a short while? A. By staying at home. B. By leading a lifestyle like frogs. C. By breathing in a special way. D. By communicating with new friends. 27. What did Paul expect his memoir to convey? A. Success isn’t achieved overnight. B. People should avoid giving in to their fate. C. Setting up new life aims is necessary. D. Living in an iron lung is challenging. C Scientists have discovered that the panda, long considered a bit of a loner (喜独处者), has a surprisingly active social life, communicating with friends and family in a way that’s similar to sharing status (状态) updates on Facebook. In the study on bears in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve, Michigan State University(MSU) researchers focused instead on the trees, because it was on certain trees that the animals would leave scent (气味) signals for others. And the messages turned out to be surprisingly complex. “Once you’ve gotten an eye for it, you can see the scent-marking trees, which are dirtied with a waxy (像蜡的) substance — and the pandas seem to be doing this a lot,” said lead author Thomas Connor. “It was pretty evident they were exchanging information through scent- marking behaviour.” “These scent trees are a form of social media,” said Ken Frank, a professor from MSU. “Like Facebook, it’s asynchronous, meaning you don’t have to be in the same place at the same time. It allows one to broadcast to many, and it’s a record. A panda marking a tree isn’t so different from a Facebook post.” While pandas may not be posting about things similar to those on a human social media network, they can let others know they frequent the territory by “checking in” to that tree, and they can leave details about sex, age, personality and physical size. By smelling a marked tree, a panda can determine if it has met the posters before, and pick up other information such as sex, advantage and size — all characteristics that can help another individual “read the room” without being in the presence of another bear. “The discoveries in this study throw new light on how pandas use their habitat,” said senior author Jianguo Liu from MSU. “Pandas are a part of coupled human and natural systems where humans share their habitat. Anything we can learn about how they live and what they need can ultimately help info rm good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behaviour a little more.” 28. What is the new finding about pandas? A. They enjoy being alone more. B. They post updated status. C. They get together frequently. D. They have an active social life. 29. What plays an important role in pandas’ social behaviours? A. Wax. B. Scent-marking trees. C. Habitat. D. Posters. 30. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Contents of pandas’ communication. B. Frequency of pandas’ communication. C. Cause and effect of the study. D. Significance of the study. 31. What can this study help do? A. Lead pandas to make friends. B. Protect pandas better. C. Set up more habitats. D. Improve human’s behaviour. D Aiming to advance a more sustainable future the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy. Two of the country’s cycling paths were covered with photovoltaic coating by a construction company named Colas and BAM Royal Group under its Wattway project, with a surface area of 1,000 m² each. “This is the first project of this size in the country,” said a statement by the firm. Wattway has introduced a new solar panel technology with remarkable thinness and strength. These photovoltaic panels adhere seamlessly to (无缝附着在) surfaces such as bicycle paths and parking lots, avoiding the need for extensive civil engineering projects. The technology allows electricity generation without occupying agricultural land or destroying natural landscapes. Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity. “These extremely delicate cells are coated with a special substance, sufficiently translucent (半透明的) to let in sunlight and resistant enough to bear vehicle traffic,” said the company website. Furthermore, the surface is specially treated to provide the same level of grip (抓力) as conventional road mixes, ensuring functionality and safety. The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs. In the Netherlands, South Holland, North Brabant, and North Holland provinces cooperate on a unified programme. At the same time, Utrecht pursues a separate initiative, focusing on pilot projects that integrate solar panels into bicycle paths. The primary objective is to generate sustainable electricity by making use of existing road space without the necessity for additional land allocation. Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power. 32. What is the function of photovoltaic cells? A. Changing solar energy into electricity. B. Absorbing more sunlight freely. C. Providing the strong level of grip. D. Ensuring modernization. 33. What can we know about the new solar panel technology from the text? A. It may destroy some natural landscapes. B. Utrecht fails to engage in it. C. It can be used for more than charging electric bicycles. D. It can’t balance the paths’ functionality and safety. 34. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The cycling paths bring large profits. B. The project is a challenge. C. The drawbacks of solar power are potential. D. The future of solar energy on bike paths is promising. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Netherlands Is Well-known for Its Expansive Cycling Facilities B. Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages C. New Technology Enables Equipment Linked to Wattway to Achieve Energy D. North Brabant and North Holland Cooperate on a Unified Programme 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。 Steps to Improve Your Humour If you want to know how to get funnier in your personal and business life, here are the exact lines, methods, and practical strategies. Give the opposite answer to yes/no questions. The easiest way to be funny, even if you are not, is to give the opposite answer to yes/no questions. Yes, it is that simple. The more obvious, the better. ____36____ So they laugh. Then you can move on to your real story. Use a character switch When we tell a story, there are usually multiple characters. More often than not, people will make assumptions about them. For example, Little Red Riding Hood is the vulnerable (易受伤害的) one, and the Big Bad Wolf is the dangerous one. But what if you switch personas around and the Big Bad Wolf suddenly is vulnerable? ____37____ Play with numbers. One way to be surprising is to play with numbers. ____38____ Why? Because numbers are specific. To be surprising, all you have to do is build up people’s expectation to be the opposite of what that number suggests. Use real-life stories, not jokes. ____39____ A joke is a fake story that sets up for a punchline (笑点). If the punchline falls flat, you end up looking like a fool. Rather than tell jokes, funny people tell relevant stories that have humorous elements. ____40____ When you have a funny idea or joke, it’s hard not to share it right away. But the best-placed pun (俏皮话) is actually at the end. Put the funny part at the end of the sentence. That way, you’re not still talking when the audience is meant to be laughing. This also makes your timing look awesome. A. You don’t have to tell a new joke. B. Delay (拖延) the funny. C. If you have a funny thought, record it as an audio note. D. Numbers are your best friend when it comes to being funny. E. Actually, jokes are harder to tell in real life than stories. F. That’s when people’s assumptions are overturned and things become really funny. G. The moment you give the opposite answer, you have surprised your audience. 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。 Li Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute (长笛) began in primary school.

From top chefs to humble students, many are singing the praises of the device that seems ___56___ (be) flying off the shelves at shops and online. One British department store reported sales increased ___57___ (considerable) last year. But are they really so good?

It wasn't as easy as it sounds. I wasn't throwing things in my suitcase and cashing out my bank account while kissing friends and family goodbye. My boyfriend and I were recent graduates suffering economic troubles with no place to go. We had always wanted to go abroad to teach English, but weren't sure where we'd end up. My boyfriend, who is an optimist and fluent in Spanish, was very excited. At one o' clock in the morning after an argument over my fear, I just told him to book the tickets and I'd feel better. Well, I thought I'd feel better. We finally booked our long anticipated flight. I sat on the bed wondering why I felt so frightened of going. It had been a childhood dream of mine to travel abroad. It was rather terrifying, and for the first time in my life I was afraid of an adventure. Surprisingly, as I looked at our online plan of the trip, my stomach sank. Sickness filled my days when I looked around knowing I was going to leave everything I knew. I rationalized (使合理化) every excuse to get out of going but I reminded myself not to give up and that everything would work out. But the questions still popped up in my mind. Was I making a mistake? Was this risk going to be worth every penny and hardship? I tried telling myself to calm down and to just take the risk. I knew that if I could just get my bottom into my window seat that everything would be fine. But even then my fear didn't subside (减弱). It wasn't until the plane took off that I realized I had done it. We were twenty thousand miles in the air, and nine hours ahead of us was awaiting an entirely different world. But the fear was ever present. After a week of being a tourist, the fear remained hidden under a layer of excitement. 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。 I was only able to say a few phrases in Spanish that I remembered from middle school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We found jobs and an apartment within three weeks of arrival. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024~2025学年度高二年级12月质量检测 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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 he went inside to find his mum, she immediately knew what was wrong. One of the worst polio (小儿麻痹症) outbreaks the country had ever seen was sweeping the US. Paul’s mum took him to their doctor, who confirmed her guess — he had polio. The doctor advised that he rest at home, as the hospital was already overflowing with sick children. But Paul quickly deteriorated and then he was struggling to breathe. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital and began to lose consciousness (意识). When he woke up, he was in an iron lung. An iron lung is a huge, airtight (密封的) metal box that helps polio patients to breathe. The next 18 months, he was unable to talk in hospital. He tried to make friends with other children by communicating with his eyes. Paul was determined not to be defeated after knowing his condition. Paul learned a special breathing technique known as frog breathing. With the help of this technique, he could leave the iron lung for short amounts of time. Even so, it was difficult for Paul to lead a normal life. He was determined to get a good education, but he wasn’t always able to write, so he learned to memorize information rather than take notes. He was home-schooled, and in 1967, at 21, he graduated from high school. He went on to receive a scholarship to the Southern Methodist University. Paul became a world record holder in 2022 after spending the longest amount of time living in an iron lung. To add to his achievements, Paul spent more than eight years writing a memoir called Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung. He expected it to encourage more people like him to fight against their fate (命运). 24. What did Paul do when feeling uncomfortable in the summer of 1952? A. He turned to his mother for help. B. He struggled to breathe. C. He fell down unconscious. D. He contacted his doctor immediately. 25. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Recovered. B. Worsened. C. Begged. D. Fell. 26. How did Paul break away from his iron lung for a short while? A. By staying at home. B. By leading a lifestyle like frogs. C. By breathing in a special way. D. By communicating with new friends. 27. What did Paul expect his memoir to convey? A. Success isn’t achieved overnight. B. People should avoid giving in to their fate. C. Setting up new life aims is necessary. D. Living in an iron lung is challenging. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述患有小儿麻痹症的保罗一生中大部分时间都在“罐子”里度过，但他没有向命运低头，最终取得令人卓越的成就。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the summer of 1952, six-year-old Paul was playing outside in Dallas, Texas, when he suddenly felt his neck hurt and his head was pounding. When he went inside to find his mum, she immediately knew what was wrong.(1952年夏天，6岁的保罗在德克萨斯州达拉斯市的户外玩耍，突然感到脖子疼，头部剧烈震荡。当他进去找妈妈时，妈妈马上就知道出了什么事。)”可知，在1952年的夏天，当保罗感到不舒服时，他进屋向母亲求助。故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“and then he was struggling to breathe. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital and began to lose consciousness.(然后他开始呼吸困难。他被紧急送往帕克兰医院，并开始失去知觉。)”可知，Paul开始呼吸困难，被紧急送往帕克兰医院，继而失去知觉。即，Paul病情恶化了。故划线词意思是“恶化”。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Paul was determined not to be defeated after knowing his condition. Paul learned a special breathing technique known as frog breathing.(保罗知道自己的情况后，决心不被打败。保罗学会了一种叫做蛙式呼吸的特殊呼吸技巧。)”可知，保罗学会了一种叫做蛙式呼吸的特殊呼吸技巧，让其可以短暂地离开“铁罐”。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He expected it to encourage more people like him to fight against their fate (命运).(他希望这能鼓励更多像他一样的人与命运抗争。)”可知，Paul希望自己的回忆录能鼓励更多像他一样的人与命运抗争。故选B。 C Scientists have discovered that the panda, long considered a bit of a loner (喜独处者), has a surprisingly active social life, communicating with friends and family in a way that’s similar to sharing status (状态) updates on Facebook. In the study on bears in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve, Michigan State University(MSU) researchers focused instead on the trees, because it was on certain trees that the animals would leave scent (气味) signals for others. And the messages turned out to be surprisingly complex. “Once you’ve gotten an eye for it, you can see the scent-marking trees, which are dirtied with a waxy (像蜡的) substance — and the pandas seem to be doing this a lot,” said lead author Thomas Connor. “It was pretty evident they were exchanging information through scent- marking behaviour.” “These scent trees are a form of social media,” said Ken Frank, a professor from MSU. “Like Facebook, it’s asynchronous, meaning you don’t have to be in the same place at the same time. It allows one to broadcast to many, and it’s a record. A panda marking a tree isn’t so different from a Facebook post.” While pandas may not be posting about things similar to those on a human social media network, they can let others know they frequent the territory by “checking in” to that tree, and they can leave details about sex, age, personality and physical size. By smelling a marked tree, a panda can determine if it has met the posters before, and pick up other information such as sex, advantage and size — all characteristics that can help another individual “read the room” without being in the presence of another bear. “The discoveries in this study throw new light on how pandas use their habitat,” said senior author Jianguo Liu from MSU. “Pandas are a part of coupled human and natural systems where humans share their habitat. Anything we can learn about how they live and what they need can ultimately help info rm good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behaviour a little more.” 28. What is the new finding about pandas? A. They enjoy being alone more. B. They post updated status. C. They get together frequently. D. They have an active social life. 29. What plays an important role in pandas’ social behaviours? A. Wax. B. Scent-marking trees. C. Habitat. D. Posters. 30. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. Contents of pandas’ communication. B. Frequency of pandas’ communication. C. Cause and effect of the study. D. Significance of the study. 31. What can this study help do? A. Lead pandas to make friends. B. Protect pandas better. C. Set up more habitats. D. Improve human’s behaviour. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项新发现：长期以来被认为喜独处者、有点孤僻的熊猫事实上有着令人惊讶的活跃的社交生活。熊猫将树作为社会交际的媒介，通过在树上留下气味信号，来传递信息，从而达到社会交往的目的。这种交流的方式类似于人类在 Facebook上分享状态。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered that the panda, long considered a bit of a loner (喜独处者), has a surprisingly active social life, communicating with friends and family in a way that’s similar to sharing status (状态) updates on Facebook.(科学家发现，长期以来被认为有点独来独往的熊猫，有着令人惊讶的活跃的社交生活，与朋友和家人交流的方式类似于在Facebook上分享状态更新。)”可知，熊猫事实上有着令人惊讶的活跃的社交生活。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study on bears in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve, Michigan State University(MSU) researchers focused instead on the trees, because it was on certain trees that the animals would leave scent (气味) signals for others. And the messages turned out to be surprisingly complex.(在针对中国卧龙自然保护区的大熊猫进行的研究中，密歇根州立大学（MSU）的研究人员将注意力集中在了树木上，因为大熊猫会在某些特定的树上留下气味信号，以供其他同类识别。而这些信息竟然异常复杂。)”可知，熊猫会通过在某些树上留下气味信号给其他动物，以此来传递信息，从而达到社会交往的目的；根据第四段“These scent trees are a form of social media(这些气味树是社交媒体的一种形式。)”可知，气味标记树在熊猫的社会行为中起着重要的作用。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“While pandas may not be posting about things similar to those on a human social media network, they can let others know they frequent the territory by “checking in” to that tree, and they can leave details about sex, age, personality and physical size. By smelling a marked tree, a panda can determine if it has met the posters before, and pick up other information such as sex, advantage and size — all characteristics that can help another individual “read the room” without being in the presence of another bear.(虽然大熊猫可能不会像人类那样在社交媒体上发布相似的内容，但它们可以通过在树上“打卡”来告知其他同类自己常来这片领地，并且还能留下关于性别、年龄、性格和体型等信息。通过嗅闻一棵被标记的树，大熊猫就能判断出自己之前是否遇到过留下标记的同类，还能获取到其他信息，比如性别、优势地位以及体型——所有这些特征都能帮助另一只大熊猫“读懂环境”，而无需真正面对另一只熊。)”可知，第5段主要讲了熊猫交流的内容。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Anything we can learn about how they live and what they need can ultimately help info rm good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behaviour a little more.(我们能了解到的关于它们生活方式和需求的任何东西，最终都有助于制定良好的保护政策，也许还能更多地了解我们自己的行为。)”可知，这项研究有助于更好地保护大熊猫。故选B。 D Aiming to advance a more sustainable future, the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy. Two of the country’s cycling paths were covered with photovoltaic coating by a construction company named Colas and BAM Royal Group under its Wattway project, with a surface area of 1,000 m² each. “This is the first project of this size in the country,” said a statement by the firm. Wattway has introduced a new solar panel technology with remarkable thinness and strength. These photovoltaic panels adhere seamlessly to (无缝附着在) surfaces such as bicycle paths and parking lots, avoiding the need for extensive civil engineering projects. The technology allows electricity generation without occupying agricultural land or destroying natural landscapes. Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity. “These extremely delicate cells are coated with a special substance, sufficiently translucent (半透明的) to let in sunlight and resistant enough to bear vehicle traffic,” said the company website. Furthermore, the surface is specially treated to provide the same level of grip (抓力) as conventional road mixes, ensuring functionality and safety. The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs. In the Netherlands, South Holland, North Brabant, and North Holland provinces cooperate on a unified programme. At the same time, Utrecht pursues a separate initiative, focusing on pilot projects that integrate solar panels into bicycle paths. The primary objective is to generate sustainable electricity by making use of existing road space without the necessity for additional land allocation. Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power. 32. What is the function of photovoltaic cells? A. Changing solar energy into electricity. B. Absorbing more sunlight freely. C. Providing the strong level of grip. D. Ensuring modernization. 33. What can we know about the new solar panel technology from the text? A. It may destroy some natural landscapes. B. Utrecht fails to engage in it. C. It can be used for more than charging electric bicycles. D. It can’t balance the paths’ functionality and safety. 34. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The cycling paths bring large profits. B. The project is a challenge. C The drawbacks of solar power are potential. D. The future of solar energy on bike paths is promising. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Netherlands Is Well-known for Its Expansive Cycling Facilities B. Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages C. New Technology Enables Equipment Linked to Wattway to Achieve Energy D. North Brabant and North Holland Cooperate on a Unified Programme 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了荷兰为了推进更可持续的未来，在自行车道上引入了铺有光伏电池的自行车道以收集太阳能。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Each panel consists of traditional photovoltaic cells that efficiently change solar energy into electricity.(每个面板都由传统的光伏电池组成，这些电池能高效地将太阳能转化为电能)”可知，光伏电池的功能是将太阳能转化为电能。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The technology enables equipment linked to Wattway to achieve energy autonomy, including diverse applications such as charging stations for electric bicycles, closed-circuit security cameras, bus shelters, and dynamic signs.(这项技术使与Wattway相关的设备能够实现能源自主，包括多种应用，如电动自行车充电站、闭路安全摄像头、公交候车亭和动态标志)”可知，这种新技术可以用于多种设备，而不仅仅是电动自行车充电。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Moreover, the Dutch project aims to potentially contribute to establishing a practical market for solar energy production on bike paths, specifically emphasizing the extensive 35,000 km of cycle paths in the Netherlands, presenting a great opportunity for harvesting solar power.(此外，荷兰的项目旨在可能为在自行车道上建立实际的太阳能生产市场做出贡献，特别强调了荷兰长达35,000公里的自行车道，为收集太阳能提供了巨大的机会)”可推知，最后一段暗示了在自行车道上利用太阳能的前景是光明的。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Aiming to advance a more sustainable future, the Netherlands has introduced cycling paths lined with photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) to harvest solar energy.(为了推进更可持续的未来，荷兰引入了铺有光伏电池的自行车道来收集太阳能)”可知，本文主要介绍了荷兰在自行车道上铺设光伏电池，将自行车道变成绿色能源通道的情况。B项“Solar Panels Transform Dutch Cycling Paths into Green Energy Passages(太阳能板将荷兰自行车道变成绿色能源通道)”最符合文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Steps to Improve Your Humour If you want to know how to get funnier in your personal and business life, here are the exact lines, methods, and practical strategies.

The more obvious, the better. ____36____ So they laugh. Then you can move on to your real story. Use a character switch. When we tell a story, there are usually multiple characters. More often than not, people will make assumptions about them. For example, Little Red Riding Hood is the vulnerable (易受伤害的) one, and the Big Bad Wolf is the dangerous one. But what if you switch personas around and the Big Bad Wolf suddenly is vulnerable? ____37____ Play with numbers. One way to be surprising is to play with numbers. ____38____ Why? Because numbers are specific. To be surprising, all you have to do is build up people’s expectation to be the opposite of what that number suggests. Use real-life stories, not jokes. ____39____ A joke is a fake story that sets up for a punchline (笑点). If the punchline falls flat, you end up looking like a fool. Rather than tell jokes, funny people tell relevant stories that have humorous elements. ____40____ When you have a funny idea or joke, it’s hard not to share it right away. But the best-placed pun (俏皮话) is actually at the end. Put the funny part at the end of the sentence. That way, you’re not still talking when the audience is meant to be laughing. This also makes your timing look awesome. A. You don’t have to tell a new joke. B. Delay (拖延) the funny. C. If you have a funny thought, record it as an audio note. D. Numbers are your best friend when it comes to being funny. E. Actually, jokes are harder to tell in real life than stories. F. That’s when people’s assumptions are overturned and things become really funny. G. The moment you give the opposite answer, you have surprised your audience. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. D 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在生活和工作中提升自己幽默感的几个实用策略。 【36题详解】 前文“The easiest way to be funny, even if you are not, is to give the opposite answer to yes/no questions. Yes, it is that simple. The more obvious, the better. (即使你不搞笑，最简单的搞笑方式就是对是非问句给出相反的答案。是的，就是这么简单。越明显越好)”建议用对是非问句给出相反的答案来搞笑，后文“So they laugh. (所以他们大笑)”指出结果是听众会笑，因此G项“The moment you give the opposite answer, you have surprised your audience. (当你给出相反的答案时，你已经让你的听众感到惊讶了)”符合语境，解释给出相反的答案的效果，承接前文，和后文是因果关系，其中的the opposite answer在前文有同词复现。故选G。 【37题详解】 前文“But what if you switch personas around and the Big Bad Wolf suddenly is vulnerable? (但如果你转换角色，大灰狼突然变得脆弱呢)”提出转换角色特性会有怎样结果的问题，因此F项“That’s when people’s assumptions are overturned and things become really funny. (这时人们的假设被推翻了，事情变得非常有趣)”符合语境，指出结果是让事情变得有趣，是对问题的回答，承接前文。故选F。 【38题详解】 前文“One way to be surprising is to play with numbers. (让人惊讶的一种方法是玩数字游戏)”指出数字游戏能让听众惊讶，后文“Why? Because numbers are specific. (为什么？因为数字是具体的)”是解释，表明空处与数字话题相关，因此D项“Numbers are your best friend when it comes to being funny. (说到搞笑，数字是你最好的朋友)”符合语境，指出数字可以用于搞笑，承接前文，后文是对其解释。故选D。 【39题详解】 本段标题“Use real-life stories, not jokes. (用真实的故事，而不是笑话)”表明用真实的故事比用笑话更好，后文“A joke is a fake story that sets up for a punchline (笑点). If the punchline falls flat, you end up looking like a fool. (笑话是为了笑点而编的假故事。如果笑点没有发挥作用，你最终会看起来像个傻瓜)”提到说笑话有不成功的风险，因此E项“Actually, jokes are harder to tell in real life than stories. (事实上，在现实生活中讲笑话比讲故事更难)”符合语境，解释为什么推荐用真实的故事，呼应标题，引出后文。故选E。 40题详解】 后文“But the best-placed pun (俏皮话) is actually at the end. Put the funny part at the end of the sentence. That way, you’re not still talking when the audience is meant to be laughing. This also makes your timing look awesome. (但最好的双关语其实是在结尾。把有趣的部分放在句子的末尾。这样，当观众想笑的时候，你就不用继续说话了。这也会让你的时机看起来很棒)”主要建议把有趣的部分放在末尾，把握好搞笑的时机，因此B项“Delay (拖延) the funny. (推迟搞笑)”符合语境，契合段落内容，可作为段落标题，且和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。故选B。 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。 Li Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute (长笛) began in primary school.

One British department store reported sales increased ___57___ (considerable) last year. But are they really so good? If you got one as a present, or ___58___ (bag) one in the sales, you might already know the benefits. An air fryer avoids the need to deep-fry food in hot and often unhealthy oil. Instead, the food is cooked by having very hot air blown on it ___59___ high speed — it doesn’t actually fry but bakes the food. The technology sounds simple, and Dr Jakub Radzikowski, Culinary Education Designer at Imperial College London, told the BBC, “You could compare it to drying your hair with a hairdryer.” ___60___ combination of a powerful fan and a smaller compartment (隔间) makes the air fryer more efficient and reduces the time ___61___ (need) to pre-heat it. In addition, because the food ___62___ (cook) in a basket, extra fat will drop to the bottom, so you don’ t have to eat it. And it’s good to know air fryers use ___63___ (little) energy than a conventional oven because of the shorter cooking times.

(运用了不定式作目的状语) 第二节 (满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 About eight months ago I began a ride to Buenos Aires, Argentina where people speak Spanish, via a one-way ticket with the love of my life. It wasn't as easy as it sounds. I wasn't throwing things in my suitcase and cashing out my bank account while kissing friends and family goodbye. My boyfriend and I were recent graduates suffering economic troubles with no place to go. We had always wanted to go abroad to teach English, but weren't sure where we'd end up. My boyfriend, who is an optimist and fluent in Spanish, was very excited. At one o' clock in the morning after an argument over my fear, I just told him to book the tickets and I'd feel better. Well, I thought I'd feel better. We finally booked our long anticipated flight. I sat on the bed wondering why I felt so frightened of going. It had been a childhood dream of mine to travel abroad. It was rather terrifying, and for the first time in my life I was afraid of an adventure. Surprisingly, as I looked at our online plan of the trip, my stomach sank. Sickness filled my days when I looked around knowing I was going to leave everything I knew. I rationalized (使合理化) every excuse to get out of going but I reminded myself not to give up and that everything would work out. But the questions still popped up in my mind. Was I making a mistake? Was this risk going to be worth every penny and hardship? I tried telling myself to calm down and to just take the risk. I knew that if I could just get my bottom into my window seat that everything would be fine. But even then my fear didn't subside (减弱). It wasn't until the plane took off that I realized I had done it. We were twenty thousand miles in the air, and nine hours ahead of us was awaiting an entirely different world. But the fear was ever present. After a week of being a tourist, the fear remained hidden under a layer of excitement. 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。 I was only able to say a few phrases in Spanish that I remembered from middle school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We found jobs and an apartment within three weeks of arrival. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I was only able to say a few phrases in Spanish that I remembered from middle school. I stayed in the hotel as much as possible because I was afraid to go out and communicate with others, let alone take a bus by myself and get lost in some bad part of town. I couldn't sleep, and I was thousands of miles from home. With time. the fear slowly dissolved, and the unfamiliar became familiar. I kept on trying despite my reluctance and faked a smile when I wanted to scream and run. With the help of my boyfriend, I made rapid progress in speaking Spanish. We found jobs and an apartment within three weeks of arrival. I became an English teacher in a primary school. Everything worked out because I kept a positive affirmation despite the fear. Many of my friends made excuses for themselves by letting me know how easy it was for me to just up and leave to a foreign country because of my circumstances, especially having a boyfriend who spoke fluent Spanish. Yes, some of the opportunities I was afforded made the journey easier, but we worked really hard. I always tell my friends not to let fear paralyze us. Close our eyes and imagine that everything will work out. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与男友前往阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的旅程展开，详细描述了作者在出发前的恐惧、旅途中的经历以及最终的适应和成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在西班牙语方面，我只会说几句中学时学过的短语。”以及第二段首句内容“我们在到达后的三周内就找到了工作和公寓。”可知，第一段可描写作者慢慢适应了新环境，西班牙语也有了进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们在到达后的三周内就找到了工作和公寓。”可知，第二段可描写作者适应了国外的生活，希望自己的经历能够激励其他人。 2.续写线索：作者的西班牙语还停留在中学时期——作者不敢和别人交流，所以她尽量待在酒店——慢慢地，作者适应了新环境，西班牙语也有了进步——三周后，作者和男友找到了工作和公寓——作者成为了一名教师——朋友们都觉得作者有个会说西班牙男友让这一切容易多了——但是，作者觉得这一切也离不开自己的努力——作者希望自己的经历能够激励他人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①不敢：be afraid to/be scared to ②想要：want to/would like to ③继续：keep on/go on 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/fright ②积极的：positive/optimistic 【点睛】【高分句型1】I kept on trying despite my reluctance and faked a smile when I wanted to scream and run.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Everything worked out because I kept a positive affirmation despite the fear.（运用了because引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
