It has unique plants and wildlife, including the “plashica”, a fish native to the lake. Phewa Lake Phewa Lake in Nepal is famed for its still crystal-clear waters, which offer a picture-perfect reflection of Mount Machapuchare. Belonging to the Annapurna range of peaks in the Himalayas, Machapuchare is honored by locals and climbing it is forbidden. Visitors can take a boat to an island in the middle of the lake that is home to the eighteenth-century Hindu Tal Barahi temple. Lake Maggiore Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district — which also includes lakes Como, Garda and Lugano — it is shared with Switzerland. Five Flower Lake Set in the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province of China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres revealing ancient fallen trees on the lakebed. It differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up, which is truly unlike other lakes. 1. Where is Phewa Lake? A. In China. B. In Nepal. C. In Albania. D. In Macedonia. 2. Which of the following is Italy’s longest lake? A. Phewa Lake B. Lake Ohrid. C. Lake Maggiore. D. Five Flower Lake. 3. What is special about Five Flower Lake? A. It changes color from time to time. B. It is home to a fish called “plashica”. C. It is famous for the Hindu Tal Barahi temple. D. It is surrounded by the Lipontine Alps. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最美的四个湖泊。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Phewa Lake部分中“Phewa Lake in Nepal is famed for its still, crystal-clear waters, which offer a picture-perfect reflection of Mount Machapuchare.(尼泊尔的费瓦湖以其平静、清澈的湖水而闻名，这是马查普查尔山的完美倒影)”可知，Phewa Lake位于尼泊尔。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lake Maggiore部分中“Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake.(马焦雷湖是意大利最长的湖泊，三面被利本廷阿尔卑斯山脉环绕，南面与伦巴第平原相连)”可知，Lake Maggiore是意大利最长的湖。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Five Flower Lake部分中“It differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue.(它与其他湖的不同之处在于它的水会改变颜色，有时看起来是黄色的，有时是绿色的，但通常是钻石蓝色的)”可知，五花海的特别之处在于它会不时地改变颜色。故选A。 B As Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin began thinking about ways to prevent hunger and protect the world’s food supply, they came up with an idea of building a global seed vault (种子库) into the side of an Arctic mountain. About 20 years ago, Fowler, now the US special envoy for Global Food Security, and Hawtin, an agricultural scientist from the United Kingdom, imagined the vault as a backup spot for seeds that could be used to breed (培育) new crops if existing seed banks were threatened by wars, climate change or other crises. On Thursday, officials in Washington announced that Fowler and Hawtin were named the winners of the 2024 World Food Prize for their work and would share a $500,000 award. “To a lot of people today, it sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It’s a valuable natural resource and you want to offer strong protection for it,” Fowler said. “But fifteen years ago, shipping a lot of seeds to the closest place to the North Pole that you can fly into and putting them inside a mountain — that’s the craziest idea anybody ever had.” The Svalbard Global Seed Vault they created opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples (样本) from nearly every country. The structure was built into the side of a mountain, providing protection for over 6,000 varieties of crops and culturally important plants. Fowler and Hawtin said they hoped winning the World Food Prize would help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Operating them is not too costly. However, the financial support needs to continue forever. “This is really a chance to get that message out and say, look, this relatively small amount of money is our insurance policy that we’re going to be able to feed the world in 50 years,” Hawtin said. 4. Why did Fowler and Hawtin win the 2024 World Food Prize? A. They planted lots of crops. B. They built a seed vault. C. They invented varieties of seeds. D. They provided food for the hungry. 5. What can be learned about Fowler and Hawtin? A. Their seed vault is near the South Pole. B. Their work has gained wide support. C. They each received a $500,000 award. D. They protect two million seed samples. 6. What does Hawtin want to stress in the last paragraph? A. It is wise to fund seed banks. B. It is necessary to save money. C. It is difficult to feed the world. D. It is expensive to operate seed banks. 7. Which word can best describe Fowler and Hawtin? A. Peace-loving. B. Warm-hearted. C. Hard-working. D. Far-sighted. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。大约20年前，Cary Fowler和Geoffrey Hawtin在北极山脉边上建造了种子库，因此获得了2024年世界粮食奖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“About 20 years ago, Fowler, now the US special envoy for Global Food Security, and Hawtin, an agricultural scientist from the United Kingdom, imagined the vault as a backup spot for seeds that could be used to breed (培育) new crops if existing seed banks were threatened by wars, climate change or other crises. On Thursday, officials in Washington announced that Fowler and Hawtin were named the winners of the 2024 World Food Prize for their work and would share a $500,000 award.(大约20年前，现任美国全球粮食安全特使的福勒和来自英国的农业科学家霍廷设想，如果现有种子库受到战争、气候变化或其他危机的威胁，这个种子库可以作为种子的备用地点，用于培育新作物。周四，华盛顿官员宣布，福勒和霍廷因其工作而获得2024年世界粮食奖，并将分享50万美元的奖金)”可知，Fowler和Hawtin获得2024年世界粮食奖是因为他们建立了种子库。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The Svalbard Global Seed Vault they created opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples (样本) from nearly every country.(他们创建的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库于2008年开放，现在拥有来自几乎每个国家的125万份种子样本)”可知，Fowler和Hawtin的工作得到了广泛的支持。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is really a chance to get that message out and say, look, this relatively small amount of money is our insurance policy that we’re going to be able to feed the world in 50 years,” Hawtin said.(霍廷说：“这确实是一个机会，让人们知道，看，这笔相对较少的钱是我们的保险政策，我们将能够在50年内养活全世界。”)”可推断，Hawtin想强调的是为种子银行提供资金是明智的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““To a lot of people today, it sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It’s a valuable natural resource and you want to offer strong protection for it,” Fowler said. “But fifteen years ago, shipping a lot of seeds to the closest place to the North Pole that you can fly into and putting them inside a mountain — that’s the craziest idea anybody ever had.”(“对今天的很多人来说，这听起来是一件完全合理的事情。这是一种宝贵的自然资源，你需要为它提供强有力的保护，”福勒说。“但在15年前，把很多种子运到离北极最近的地方，你可以飞到那里，然后把它们放在一座山里——这是任何人都有过的最疯狂的想法。”)”可推断，Fowler和Hawtin是有远见的。故选D。 C How does social media affect our life today? A lot of people believe that social media is just torture for kids and young adults, which in a way it is. It doesn’t allow them to be 100% themselves and it can cause them to overthink and become more anxious and less confident. Social media has caused people to rethink everything they do online from liking or posting a photo to sharing a post in case someone thinks that what they support or enjoy is meaningless. Do you know that selfies (自拍) are one of the most frequent causes of death of the modern generation? In 2015, it was reported that a 21-year-old girl fell down a mountain just for selfies. There is a lot of such news every day, and that statistic is increasing every day. With this generation, very few of them are speaking to each other directly because of communication on social media like messages. This can cause social anxiety for many people; they slowly lose their skills of how to speak to others face to face. I know it first-hand and it was difficult to tell myself that I needed to cut down on screen time and even harder to listen and do it. At the same time, there are a lot of positives on social media. Social media is a great way to connect with people who live far away, which has really helped people come together and feel less lonely if they live alone. You can express yourself by sharing your favorite songs or posting pictures of your new outfit. It’s much harder to feel embarrassed online than in person, so it’s easier for people to express their feelings on social media. Social media is also great for raising awareness about things like charities. It is a powerful tool for people to share their stories, reaching new audiences around the world. The list of movements is getting longer and longer every day as more and more people use social media to raise awareness and promote the movements. In conclusion, social media has its advantages and disadvantages like everything else does. It’s all about how we use it. 8. What does the underlined word “torture” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Mental suffering. B. Something relaxing. C. Physical damage. D. Something unexpected. 9. Why does the author mention the 21-year-old girl? A. To offer a suggestion. B. To lead in the topic. C. To make a comparison. D. To provide an example. 10. From the text, we learn the author ________. A. once fought with his/ her best friends B. used to be addicted to the Internet C. was injured for taking photos before D. used to participate in charity activities 11. What are paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 mainly about? A. The meaning of charity. B. The importance of writing stories. C. The advantages of social media. D. The necessity of reaching audiences. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体的优缺点。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“It doesn’t allow them to be 100% themselves and it can cause them to overthink and become more anxious and less confident.(它不允许他们做100%的自己，它会导致他们过度思考，变得更加焦虑和缺乏自信)”可知，社交媒体让孩子和年轻人无法做自己，导致他们过度思考，变得更加焦虑和缺乏自信，即对他们产生了精神折磨。故画线词指的是“精神折磨”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Do you know that selfies (自拍) are one of the most frequent causes of death of the modern generation? In 2015, it was reported that a 21-year-old girl fell down a mountain just for selfies.(你知道自拍是现代人最常见的死亡原因之一吗？据报道，2015年，一名21岁的女孩为了自拍从山上摔了下来)”可知，本段提及21岁的女孩是为了举例说明自拍可能造成的危险。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I know it first-hand and it was difficult to tell myself that I needed to cut down on screen time and even harder to listen and do it.(我亲身知道很难告诉自己我需要减少看屏幕的时间，更难的是倾听并做到这一点)”可知，作者曾沉迷于网络。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“At the same time, there are a lot of positives on social media.(与此同时，社交媒体上也有很多积极因素)”段和第六段“Social media is also great for raising awareness about things like charities.(社交媒体对于提高人们对慈善事业的认识也很有帮助)”可知，这两段主要介绍了社交媒体的优点。故选C。 D The 3D printer BioHome3D has once created a house. Now, an even larger printer called Factory of the Future 1.0 (FoF 1.0) shown on April 23 at the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) may one day create entire neighborhoods. The new printer fills up the large building in which it’s housed on the Maine campus, and can print objects 96 feet long by 32 feet wide by 18 feet high (29 meters by 10 meters by 5.5 meters). It is four times larger than BioHome3D, which was put into use less than five years ago, and capable of printing ever larger objects. It consumes as much as 500 pounds of material per hour. To meet the growing demand for housing, Maine alone will need another 80,000 homes over the next six years, according to MaineHousing. The new printer can offer a pathway for affordable housing to address homelessness in the region by promoting its 3D-printed home technology using bio-based materials. As for the original 3D printer, BioHome3D, it isn’t going away. The two printers can be used to work on the same project and there will be even more of them working together in the future. The university wants to show how homes can be constructed nearly entirely by a printer with a lower carbon footprint. Such printed buildings can be recycled, which is unique compared to current construction. “You can basically break it up if you wish, reprint with the 3D printed parts, and do it again,” Habib Dagher, director of UMaine’s ASCC, said. Since 2022, the ASCC has secured more than $93 million in support of this creative and other projects. “The US government provided most of the funding for the new printer, which cost several million dollars,” said Dannel Malloy, chancellor of the University of Maine System. 12. What can we learn about FoF 1.0? A. It can print huge objects. B. It will replace BioHome3D. C. It was put into use five years ago. D. It has created entire neighborhoods. 13. What do we know about the houses created by FoF 1.0 according to the text? A. They are small in size. B. They let out no greenhouse gas. C. Their materials can be reused. D. Their price is high for most people. 14. What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A. The new printer is far from cost-effective. B. The funding situation of printers may get worse. C. The University of Maine needs creative talents. D. The projects at the ASCC have been funded. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. The History of Printing Industry B. The Introduction of BioHome3D C. The Homeless in the US That Need Help D. A New and Larger 3D Printer Invented by UMaine’s ASCC 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了由美国缅因大学开发的新一代更大的3D打印机。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The new printer fills up the large building in which it’s housed on the Maine campus, and can print objects 96 feet long by 32 feet wide by 18 feet high (29 meters by 10 meters by 5.5 meters) (新打印机填满了缅因州校园内的一座大型建筑，可以打印96英尺长、32英尺宽、18英尺高（29米乘10米乘5.5米）的物体)”可知，FoF 1.0打印机可以打印非常大的物品。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Such printed buildings can be recycled, which is unique compared to current construction. “You can basically break it up if you wish, reprint with the 3D printed parts, and do it again,” Habib Dagher, director of UMaine’s ASCC, said. (这种印刷的建筑可以回收利用，这与目前的建筑相比是独一无二的。UMaine ASCC主任Habib Dagher说：“如果你愿意，你基本上可以把它拆开，用3D打印的部件重新打印，然后再做一次。”)”可知，由FoF 1.0打印机打印出来的房子的材料可以被重复使用。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Since 2022, the ASCC has secured more than $93 million in support of this creative and other projects. “The US government provided most of the funding for the new printer, which cost several million dollars,” said Dannel Malloy, chancellor of the University of Maine System. (自2022年以来，ASCC已获得超过9300万美元用于支持这一创意项目和其他项目。缅因大学系统校长Dannel Malloy表示：“美国政府为这台耗资数百万美元的新打印机提供了大部分资金。”)”可知，缅因大学先进结构与复合材料中心（ASCC）的项目已获得资助。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The 3D printer BioHome3D has once created a house. Now, an even larger printer called Factory of the Future 1.0 (FoF 1.0) shown on April 23 at the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) may one day create entire neighborhoods. (3D打印机BioHome3D曾经建造了一座房子。现在，4月23日在缅因大学高级结构和复合材料中心（ASCC）展示的一款名为“未来工厂1.0”（FoF 1.0）的更大打印机可能有一天会创建整个社区。)”可知，本文主要介绍了由缅因大学先进结构与复合材料中心（ASCC）开发的新一代更大的3D打印机。由此可知，选项D“A New and Larger 3D Printer Invented by UMaine’s ASCC (UMaine的ASCC发明了一种新的更大的3D打印机)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches. Establish daily and weekly writing goals. Instead of hoping to produce ten pages at a time, try setting a goal to write one page each day. Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines. ___19___ Get feedback often. You might have a group of fellow writers, friends or family members with whom you can share your works in progress. It is likely that you’ll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published. ___20___ — it’s all part of the process of writing the best book you can! A.

Break your big idea into manageable pieces F. Do you dream of seeing your name on a book cover G. At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要提出了几点关于如何写书的建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Before you start writing or even thinking about your book, be honest with yourself about your reasons for writing it.(在你开始写作甚至思考你的书之前，诚实地告诉自己写这本书的原因。)”和后文“Or do you simply have a great story that you want to share with the world?(或者你只是有一个伟大的故事想与世界分享？)”可知，空处应和下一句并列，讲述写书的原因，且应该为疑问句，F项“Do you dream of seeing your name on a book cover(你梦想在书的封面上看到你的名字吗)”符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“There’s no one ideal workspace for every writer. Some prefer a quiet room, while others work best in a coffee shop. Also, make sure that the place you choose works with your preferred writing medium.(没有一个理想的工作空间适合每个作家。有些人喜欢安静的房间，而另一些人最好在咖啡馆工作。此外，确保你选择的地方适合你喜欢的写作媒介。)”可知，这里讲述的应是如何选择合适的写作场所，B项“Choose a workspace that works for you(选择一个适合你的工作场所)”符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据前文“If you want to write on a desktop, make sure to have a suitable desk nearby.(如果你想在桌面上写字，一定要在附近有一张合适的桌子。)”和后文“That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches.(这是因为如果你的背部疼痛，很容易失去注意力。)”可知，上文讲述了要选择桌子，下文讲述了背痛会让你失去注意力，由此可知，空处应补充讲述如何选择让背部舒适的座椅，G项“At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair(同时，记得选择一把支撑椅)”符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据本段首句“Establish daily and weekly writing goals.(设定每日及每周的写作目标。)”和空前“Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines.(根据你的写作速度和任何特定的截止日期设定你的写作目标。)”可知，空处应总结前文，讲述设置完目标后就不要轻易更改，D项“And try not to change it after you’ve set it(设置后尽量不要更改它)”符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据前文“It is likely that you’ll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published.(在你的书出版之前，你很可能会经历多轮的反馈和修订。)”和空后的“it’s all part of the process of writing the best book you can!(这是你尽力写最好的书的过程的一部分！)”可知，在出书之前会有多次反馈和修订，这是打磨作品必经之路，所以空处应是说在这种情况下不要泄气，A项“Don’t get discouraged(不要气馁)”符合题意。故选A。 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。 Betty Sandison grew up in a tiny farming town in rural Minnesota.

Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library, but my parents insisted. The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit. The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button?” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.” My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk. “Can I help you?” he asked. I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one?” He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes. “Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said. “Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away. “Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.” A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员). “Young lady you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.” He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it?” “Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye. 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。 I thanked him and left. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience has made a difference to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I thanked him and left. When I brought the campaign button to the team, they whooped at my success. We ran back to the community center to check in. Our team won that night by one item. We had the only campaign button in the competition. My contribution got me “in” with the group. Over the next few weeks, I got along very well with the boys and girls there. This experience has made a difference to me. Thanks to the two helpful people I met in the television studio, I’ve found the courage I once lacked to approach people ever since that day, for example, when having interviews or asking for donations. I’ve realized that as long as I treat people politely and respectfully, other people will probably respond favorably. In addition, I’ve also tried to follow their examples and help where I can. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被母亲带去参加一个社区中心的青少年小组，与陌生人联系是让作者感到可怕的事情，作者他们小组的任务是寻找目标物品，最后作者所在的小组差一个竞选徽章。在作者的提议以及在活动中作者遇到的体育解说员的帮助下，作者找到了目标物品的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我谢过他就走了。”可知，第一段可描写作者将目标物品带回后大家的反应以及作者在这次经历中的收获。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次经历对我影响很大。”可知，第二段可描写这次经历给作者带来的影响有哪些以及作者对这次经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：道谢——带回徽章——建立联系——活动收获——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①相处：got along very well with/fit in with ②接近：approach/get close to ③意识到：realized/be aware 情绪类 ①欢呼：whoop/acclaim/cheer 【点睛】[高分句型1]When I brought the campaign button to the team, they whooped at my success. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Thanks to the two helpful people I met in the television studio, I’ve found the courage I once lacked to approach people ever since that day, for example, when having interviews or asking for donations.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句以及状语从句的省略结构） [高分句型3]I’ve realized that as long as I treat people politely and respectfully, other people will probably respond favorably.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及as long as引导的条件状语从句） 听力 1—5 ABACC 6—10 ACACB 11—15 CBBAA 16—20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语试题 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第二册Unit4。 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。 1.

It has unique plants and wildlife, including the “plashica”, a fish native to the lake. Phewa Lake Phewa Lake in Nepal is famed for its still, crystal-clear waters, which offer a picture-perfect reflection of Mount Machapuchare. Belonging to the Annapurna range of peaks in the Himalayas, Machapuchare is honored by locals and climbing it is forbidden. Visitors can take a boat to an island in the middle of the lake that is home to the eighteenth-century Hindu Tal Barahi temple. Lake Maggiore Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district — which also includes lakes Como, Garda and Lugano — it is shared with Switzerland. Five Flower Lake Set in the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province of China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres revealing ancient fallen trees on the lakebed. It differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up, which is truly unlike other lakes. 1. Where is Phewa Lake? A. In China. B. In Nepal. C. In Albania. D. In Macedonia. 2. Which of the following is Italy’s longest lake? A. Phewa Lake B. Lake Ohrid. C. Lake Maggiore. D. Five Flower Lake. 3. What is special about Five Flower Lake? A. It changes color from time to time. B. It is home to a fish called “plashica”. C. It is famous for the Hindu Tal Barahi temple. D. It is surrounded by the Lipontine Alps. B As Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin began thinking about ways to prevent hunger and protect the world’s food supply, they came up with an idea of building a global seed vault (种子库) into the side of an Arctic mountain. About 20 years ago, Fowler, now the US special envoy for Global Food Security, and Hawtin, an agricultural scientist from the United Kingdom, imagined the vault as a backup spot for seeds that could be used to breed (培育) new crops if existing seed banks were threatened by wars, climate change or other crises. On Thursday, officials in Washington announced that Fowler and Hawtin were named the winners of the 2024 World Food Prize for their work and would share a $500,000 award. “To a lot of people today, it sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It’s a valuable natural resource and you want to offer strong protection for it,” Fowler said. “But fifteen years ago, shipping a lot of seeds to the closest place to the North Pole that you can fly into and putting them inside a mountain — that’s the craziest idea anybody ever had.” The Svalbard Global Seed Vault they created opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples (样本) from nearly every country. The structure was built into the side of a mountain, providing protection for over 6,000 varieties of crops and culturally important plants. Fowler and Hawtin said they hoped winning the World Food Prize would help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Operating them is not too costly. However, the financial support needs to continue forever. “This is really a chance to get that message out and say, look, this relatively small amount of money is our insurance policy that we’re going to be able to feed the world in 50 years,” Hawtin said. 4. Why did Fowler and Hawtin win the 2024 World Food Prize? A. They planted lots of crops. B. They built a seed vault. C. They invented varieties of seeds. D. They provided food for the hungry. 5. What can be learned about Fowler and Hawtin? A. Their seed vault is near the South Pole. B. Their work has gained wide support. C. They each received a $500,000 award. D. They protect two million seed samples. 6. What does Hawtin want to stress in the last paragraph? A. It is wise to fund seed banks. B. It is necessary to save money. C. It is difficult to feed the world. D. It is expensive to operate seed banks. 7. Which word can best describe Fowler and Hawtin? A. Peace-loving. B. Warm-hearted. C. Hard-working. D. Far-sighted. C How does social media affect our life today? A lot of people believe that social media is just torture for kids and young adults, which in a way it is. It doesn’t allow them to be 100% themselves and it can cause them to overthink and become more anxious and less confident. Social media has caused people to rethink everything they do online from liking or posting a photo to sharing a post in case someone thinks that what they support or enjoy is meaningless. Do you know that selfies (自拍) are one of the most frequent causes of death of the modern generation? In 2015, it was reported that a 21-year-old girl fell down a mountain just for selfies. There is a lot of such news every day, and that statistic is increasing every day. With this generation, very few of them are speaking to each other directly because of communication on social media like messages. This can cause social anxiety for many people; they slowly lose their skills of how to speak to others face to face. I know it first-hand and it was difficult to tell myself that I needed to cut down on screen time and even harder to listen and do it. At the same time, there are a lot of positives on social media. Social media is a great way to connect with people who live far away, which has really helped people come together and feel less lonely if they live alone. You can express yourself by sharing your favorite songs or posting pictures of your new outfit. It’s much harder to feel embarrassed online than in person, so it’s easier for people to express their feelings on social media. Social media is also great for raising awareness about things like charities. It is a powerful tool for people to share their stories, reaching new audiences around the world. The list of movements is getting longer and longer every day as more and more people use social media to raise awareness and promote the movements. In conclusion, social media has its advantages and disadvantages like everything else does. It’s all about how we use it. 8. What does the underlined word “torture” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Mental suffering. B. Something relaxing. C. Physical damage. D. Something unexpected. 9. Why does the author mention the 21-year-old girl? A. To offer a suggestion. B. To lead in the topic. C. To make a comparison. D. To provide an example. 10. From the text, we learn the author ________. A. once fought with his/ her best friends B. used to be addicted to the Internet C. was injured for taking photos before D. used to participate in charity activities 11. What are paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 mainly about? A. The meaning of charity. B. The importance of writing stories. C. The advantages of social media. D. The necessity of reaching audiences. D The 3D printer BioHome3D has once created a house. Now, an even larger printer called Factory of the Future 1.0 (FoF 1.0) shown on April 23 at the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) may one day create entire neighborhoods. The new printer fills up the large building in which it’s housed on the Maine campus, and can print objects 96 feet long by 32 feet wide by 18 feet high (29 meters by 10 meters by 5.5 meters). It is four times larger than BioHome3D, which was put into use less than five years ago, and capable of printing ever larger objects. It consumes as much as 500 pounds of material per hour. To meet the growing demand for housing, Maine alone will need another 80,000 homes over the next six years, according to MaineHousing. The new printer can offer a pathway for affordable housing to address homelessness in the region by promoting its 3D-printed home technology using bio-based materials. As for the original 3D printer, BioHome3D, it isn’t going away. The two printers can be used to work on the same project and there will be even more of them working together in the future. The university wants to show how homes can be constructed nearly entirely by a printer with a lower carbon footprint. Such printed buildings can be recycled, which is unique compared to current construction. “You can basically break it up if you wish, reprint with the 3D printed parts, and do it again,” Habib Dagher, director of UMaine’s ASCC, said. Since 2022 the ASCC has secured more than $93 million in support of this creative and other projects. “The US government provided most of the funding for the new printer, which cost several million dollars,” said Dannel Malloy, chancellor of the University of Maine System. 12. What can we learn about FoF 1.0? A. It can print huge objects. B. It will replace BioHome3D. C. It was put into use five years ago. D. It has created entire neighborhoods. 13. What do we know about the houses created by FoF 1.0 according to the text? A. They are small in size. B. They let out no greenhouse gas. C. Their materials can be reused. D. Their price is high for most people. 14. What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A. The new printer is far from cost-effective. B. The funding situation of printers may get worse. C. The University of Maine needs creative talents. D. The projects at the ASCC have been funded. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. The History of Printing Industry B.

Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library, but my parents insisted. The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit. The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button?” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.” My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk. “Can I help you?” he asked. I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one?” He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes. “Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said. “Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away. “Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.” A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员). “Young lady, you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.” He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it?” “Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye. 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。 I thanked him and left. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience has made a difference to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABACC 6—10 ACACB 11—15 CBBAA 16—20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
