Here are just a few examples. The Elephant Tower This building is commonly known as the Elephant Tower, but the real name is Chang Building. This is a sizable building with 32 floors where you’ll find luxurious housing, commercial space, retail, and much more! Designed by architect Sumset Jumsai, the structure is constructed to look like Thailand’s national animal. Pretty attractive, right? So, this summer if you’ re planning to visit Thailand, don’t forget to visit this place. Giraffe Childcare Center Designed by Hondelatte Laporte Architects, this building is a Giraffe Childcare Center. This is one of the most famous animal buildings in France. The whole structure is built around a giraffe, and from far, it is quite noticeable because it looks like a huge yellow giraffe being stuck inside a silver slab (厚板). From the rooftop, you can pet the long neck. Don’t you think that this Giraffe Childcare Center certainly stands out among all the French capital’s classic architecture? Crab Building Do you love eating seafood? If yes, then there is absolutely no place better than this. It isa restaurant that is shaped like a crab. Wow, that’s unique! Once, this was a famous seafood restaurant named after a cannibalistic alimango or mud crab, but nowadays, there is not much around it. It was quite a famous building in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. It looks like the crab is crawling(爬) straight out of the ocean. 1. What is the feature of the Elephant Tower? A. Its small size.

B Five years ago I was in Berlin for a few months and my friend Michael invited me to a gathering of his friends at a neighborhood restaurant. It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group. Back home in D. C. , I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D. C.? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.” “Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me. In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.” 4. Why did one of the guys plant the little flag? A. To mark the group. B. To follow the tradition. C. To make it decorative. D. To draw others’ attention. 5. What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal? A. Its root. B. Its concept. C. Its expansion. D. Its reform. 6. How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now? A. They consider it a fashion. B. They gradually take to it. C. They advocate for it firmly. D. They stay unconcerned about it. 7. Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch? A. It lacks authenticity. B. It demands formality. C. It’s as vital as the church. D. It aids deep communication. C The National Literacy Trust (NLT) has recently issued a report that reveals a troubling decline in the number of children who find joy in reading. This extensive survey, containing76,131 participants between the ages of 5 and 18, paints a concerning picture: Only 34.6% of children aged 8 to 18 report enjoying reading in their leisure time. This statistic marks an alarming milestone, being the lowest recorded in nearly twenty years. Compared to last year’s figures, this represents a sharp decline of 8.8 percentage points, a drop that calls for immediate attention. The report not only highlights this recent decline but also emphasizes a broader, continuously downward trend in reading enjoyment since 2016, a time when almost two-thirds of children expressed enthusiasm for reading. This enthusiasm appears to be steadily disappearing, and the frequency of reading has lowered alongside it. Today, a mere 20.5% of children report reading daily in their free time, a significant drop from the previous year’s 28%. This decline in regular reading habits raises concerns about the long-term impact on literacy (读写能力) and learning outcomes. Moreover, the gender gap in reading enjoyment has widened. Presently, only 28.2% of boys report enjoying reading in their spare time, compared to 40.5% of girls. The report points out that secondary school students, in particular, have experienced the sharpest decline in reading interest, with just 30% indicating that they find pleasure in reading. In contrast, over half of primary school children continue to enjoy this activity. The report highlights the significant benefits of reading for pleasure, such as improving vocabulary, mental health, and sympathy. Children who enjoy reading often develop stronger reading skills, which are essential for academic success. However, declining interest in reading threatens the future prospects of young people, leaving many unprepared for adult literacy demands. In response, the NLT urges the government to act quickly by creating a reading task-force and prioritizing reading for pleasure in school curricula. Despite the discouraging statistics, there is hope: a united effort by communities, schools, and families can fuel children’s passion for books. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Surveyed kids often read in their free time. B. Most kids aged 8-18 enjoy reading for fun. C. The survey aimed to measure kids’ reading frequency. D. Reading enjoyment among kids is at a 20-year low. 9. Which is consistent with the report? A. Boys and girls now equally enjoy reading. B. Girls no longer enjoy reading more than boys. C. Gap in reading enjoyment between genders has enlarged. D. Over half of primary school boys still prefer reading. 10. What will be the outcome of children’s low reading interest? A. Literacy skills are not enough to handle their future. B. Literacy skills will affect interpersonal communication. C. They are not well prepared for their career. D. They possibly often change their future plans. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The possibility of promoting kids’ reading interest. B. The benefits of fueling kids’ passion for reading. C. The methods of evaluating kids’ reading pleasure. D. The significance of raising kids’ reading interest. D Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark, raised a big question: Why do birds sing so much? As suggested by prior research, constant singing takes a lot of energy and reveals birds themselves - where they are and where their territories are, which is highly dangerous. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may have to exercise their vocal (发声的) muscles to produce top-performance songs. These findings could be relevant to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam. “Anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience an impair in vocal performance.” Adam says songbirds one day could help us enhance how we train and restore our own voices. To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches - little Australian songbirds. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exception was a few half-hour blocks each day when Adam turned the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. But Adam wondered whether that impacted what the resulting song sounded like. When she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness, she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it for a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily. “What they are highlighting is that you need a lot of practice to achieve a mastery in what you’ re doing,” says Ana Amador, a neuroscientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was also involved in the research. 12. What is the disadvantage of birds’ constant singing? A. Making birds less energetic. B. Making birds’ habitats noisy. C. Harming birds’ vocal muscles. D. Putting birds exposed to dangers. 13. What does the underlined word “impair” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Damage. B. Change. C. Trick. D. Magic. 14. What is the basis for Adam’s experiment? A. Light is a contributory factor for birds’ singing. B. Birds need daily practice for better singing. C. Weakening muscles result in less attractive songs. D. Male birds produce songs to attract female birds. 15. Which of the following sayings can well explain Ana Amador’s opinion? A. Never say never. B. Do all you can to win. C. Better late than never. D. Practice makes perfect. 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。 For most of us it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. It’s not hard to say your friend deserves a raise at work. ____16____ How can you go from being everyone else’s advocate to standing up for yourself? Get comfortable saying no. The next time someone asks you for a favor, consider if you can afford to say “yes”. ____17____ Do you have an overflow of these resources that you can give after you’ve already cared for yourself? Do you have extra money on top of what you need? If it’s a “no”, either because you can’t afford to say “yes” or because you simply don’t want to, the best phrase to use is “No, thank you”. Stop people-pleasing. It’s easy to fall into the people-pleasing trap because you tend to get praised for this habit. ____18____ However, the cost of it can be your self-worth. People-pleasing is often motivated by fear — fear of not being liked, fear of rejection, fear of not belonging. ____19____ Start leaning towards courage and inner strength. Start valuing courage in yourself. Try to take small steps of courage in your relationships. Ask for what you want. We often automatically react to others’ requests without pausing to consider our own desires. To get comfortable with standing up for yourself, you need to change this tendency. Instead of reacting to others, determine what you want first. ____20____ Your wants and desires are the forces that lead you into life’s unknown frontier. To speak your desires is to give voice to your place in the world. Your desires deserve attention, energy and respect. Stand up for them — and yourself. A. People-pleasing pleases people. B Then communicate your request. C. It’s difficult to figure out what you want. D. Think about what this “yes” will cost you. E. But we are often shy to advocate for our own needs. F.

He lowered his head, which I thought was due to his shyness. Also, I noticed him wearing a pair of shoes apparently outgrowing his shoe size. “Maybe he comes from a financially disadvantaged family,” I thought to myself. However, it was also hard to understand Martin’s behavior. When asked to make a self- introduction on the platform, he simply spelled his name, leaving the other students confused. Besides, Martin’s study habits and skills were nowhere to be seen. Unable to recognize some English letters, he even failed to write a short essay according to given instructions. Therefore, I wondered whether a special school teaching kids with autism (自闭症) was more suitable for him. I looked through his previous grade reports, only to find that his academic performances in the first grade were great. To figure out what happened to him, I decided to visit his former school and communicate with the headteacher. I learned that Martin’s mom had a mental disorder after getting divorced last year. Now, the little boy had to take care of both himself and his mom. Since Martin’s brainpower was normal, he would stay put in my class. I had never encountered a student like Martin before. It was a headache to help him fit into and catch up with his classmates. I had dreamed about teaching, so I hated it when the idea of giving up such a student lingered (萦绕) vividly in my mind. Two days later, it was Martin’s turn to clean the blackboard. Rising to his feet and ready to walk to the platform, he was tripped by one student on purpose. Suddenly, he couldn’t resist weeping alone. Contrary to what I assumed, no one lent him a helping hand. I sent Martin to the infirmary (医务室) and screamed at the others that Martin’s difference was a reason for being treated warmly and nicely. 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 realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 CBCCA 6~10 BCAAB 11~15 ABABC 16~20 AACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 黑龙江省新时代高中教育联合体 2024—2025学年度上学期期末联合考试 高三英语试卷 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：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，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试题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。 1.

From the rooftop, you can pet the long neck.(整个建筑是围绕一只长颈鹿建造的，从远处看，它非常引人注目，因为它看起来像一只巨大的黄色长颈鹿被卡在一块银板里。从屋顶上，你可以抚摸它的长颈。)”可以推断出建筑在视觉上给人一种长颈鹿被困在厚板里的感觉，这也暗示了建筑的高度并未超过长颈鹿的高度。因此，可以合理推断B项“它比黄色的长颈鹿矮”是正确的。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Elephant Tower中的描述“Designed by architect Sumset Jumsai, the structure is constructed to look like Thailand’s national animal.(由建筑师Sumset Jumsai设计，这座建筑看起来像泰国的国家动物。)”；Giraffe Childcare Center中的描述“The whole structure is built around a giraffe, and from far, it is quite noticeable because it looks like a huge yellow giraffe being stuck inside a silver slab (厚板). From the rooftop, you can pet the long neck.(整个建筑是围绕一只长颈鹿建造的，从远处看，它非常引人注目，因为它看起来像一只巨大的黄色长颈鹿被卡在一块银板里。从屋顶上，你可以抚摸它的长颈。)”以及Crab Building中的“It was quite a famous building in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. It looks like the crab is crawling(爬) straight out of the ocean.(它是菲律宾和东南亚相当著名的建筑。看起来螃蟹正从海里爬出来。)”可知，大象塔被设计成看起来像泰国的国宝大象，长颈鹿儿童保育中心则围绕长颈鹿的形状建造，从远处看就像一个巨大的黄色长颈鹿被困在银色的厚板里，而螃蟹建筑则形状像螃蟹，看起来就像从海洋里爬出来一样。这些设计都独具特色，能够吸引人们的目光，创造视觉上的兴趣。故选B项。 B Five years ago I was in Berlin for a few months, and my friend Michael invited me to a gathering of his friends at a neighborhood restaurant. It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group. Back home in D. C. , I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D. C.? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.” “Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me. In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.” 4. Why did one of the guys plant the little flag? A. To mark the group. B. To follow the tradition. C. To make it decorative. D. To draw others’ attention. 5. What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal? A. Its root. B. Its concept. C. Its expansion. D. Its reform. 6. How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now? A. They consider it a fashion. B. They gradually take to it. C They advocate for it firmly. D. They stay unconcerned about it. 7. Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch? A. It lacks authenticity. B. It demands formality. C. It’s as vital as the church. D. It aids deep communication. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕德国传统的 Stammtisch(常客聚会)展开。先是作者在柏林见识其存在，后在华盛顿特区参与相关聚会。介绍了它作为定期社交聚会的传统形式，提及年轻人对它的态度转变，还阐述了长者眼中其利于深入交流的意义，展现了这一传统随时代变迁的社交价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table:  a symbol for their group(这看起来就像一个典型的酒吧——直到其中一个人在桌子上插了一面小旗子：他们团体的象征)”可知，插小旗是作为他们群体的一个标志，也就是用来标记这个群体的。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. (Stammtisch的意思是常客餐桌。这是一个古老的德国传统，一群志同道合的人（传统上是男性）定期在餐厅聚会喝酒聊天。)”可推知，此处是在阐释 Stammtisch的概念，介绍了其是怎样一种聚会形式。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。第三段““Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me.(“在 20 世纪 80 年代、90 年代和 2000 年代初期成长的德国年轻人中，斯塔姆蒂施的想法在某种程度上被拒绝了，因为‘这是我们父母那一代、我们祖父母那一代会做的事情’，”45 岁的罗伯特·克里斯托费尔 (Robert Christoffel) 说。但他注意到这种情况开始发生变化。 “我的很多朋友，现在在德国——也许是因为他们也年纪大了一些——他们现在聚在一起，建立了 Stammtisch，”他告诉我。)”谈到：以前德国年轻人排斥它,但现在情况改变了, 即他们现在逐渐开始接受、喜欢它了。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things(那是你们见面的地方。你对事情、对你非常个人的事情敞开心扉，)”可推知, Werner Hein认为 Stammtisch 是人们可以敞开心扉交流个人事情的地方，也就是有助于深入交流。故选D。 C The National Literacy Trust (NLT) has recently issued a report that reveals a troubling decline in the number of children who find joy in reading. This extensive survey, containing76,131 participants between the ages of 5 and 18, paints a concerning picture: Only 34.6% of children aged 8 to 18 report enjoying reading in their leisure time. This statistic marks an alarming milestone, being the lowest recorded in nearly twenty years. Compared to last year’s figures, this represents a sharp decline of 8.8 percentage points, a drop that calls for immediate attention. The report not only highlights this recent decline but also emphasizes a broader, continuously downward trend in reading enjoyment since 2016, a time when almost two-thirds of children expressed enthusiasm for reading. This enthusiasm appears to be steadily disappearing, and the frequency of reading has lowered alongside it. Today, a mere 20.5% of children report reading daily in their free time, a significant drop from the previous year’s 28%. This decline in regular reading habits raises concerns about the long-term impact on literacy (读写能力) and learning outcomes. Moreover, the gender gap in reading enjoyment has widened. Presently, only 28.2% of boys report enjoying reading in their spare time, compared to 40.5% of girls. The report points out that secondary school students, in particular, have experienced the sharpest decline in reading interest, with just 30% indicating that they find pleasure in reading. In contrast, over half of primary school children continue to enjoy this activity. The report highlights the significant benefits of reading for pleasure, such as improving vocabulary, mental health, and sympathy. Children who enjoy reading often develop stronger reading skills, which are essential for academic success. However, declining interest in reading threatens the future prospects of young people, leaving many unprepared for adult literacy demands. In response, the NLT urges the government to act quickly by creating a reading task-force and prioritizing reading for pleasure in school curricula. Despite the discouraging statistics, there is hope: a united effort by communities, schools, and families can fuel children’s passion for books. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Surveyed kids often read in their free time. B. Most kids aged 8-18 enjoy reading for fun. C. The survey aimed to measure kids’ reading frequency. D. Reading enjoyment among kids is at a 20-year low. 9. Which is consistent with the report? A. Boys and girls now equally enjoy reading. B. Girls no longer enjoy reading more than boys. C. Gap in reading enjoyment between genders has enlarged. D. Over half of primary school boys still prefer reading. 10. What will be the outcome of children’s low reading interest? A. Literacy skills are not enough to handle their future. B. Literacy skills will affect interpersonal communication. C. They are not well prepared for their career. D. They possibly often change their future plans. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The possibility of promoting kids’ reading interest. B. The benefits of fueling kids’ passion for reading. C. The methods of evaluating kids’ reading pleasure. D. The significance of raising kids’ reading interest. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国国家扫盲信托基金(NLT)最近发布了一份报告，该报告显示，从阅读中找到乐趣的儿童的数量在不断下降。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This statistic marks an alarming milestone, being the lowest recorded in nearly twenty years.(这一统计数据标志着一个令人担忧的里程碑，是近二十年来记录的最低水平。)”可知，儿童阅读乐趣的数量处于20年来的最低水平。因此，我们可以从第一段了解到儿童阅读乐趣的数量处于20年来的最低水平。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Moreover, the gender gap in reading enjoyment has widened.(此外，阅读乐趣方面的性别差距已经扩大。)”可知，阅读乐趣方面的性别差距已经扩大，这与C项“阅读乐趣方面的性别差距已经扩大”一致。因此，C项与报告内容一致。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, declining interest in reading threatens the future prospects of young people, leaving many unprepared for adult literacy demands.(然而，阅读兴趣的下降威胁着年轻人的未来前景，使许多人无法为成年人的读写能力需求做好准备。)”可知，阅读兴趣的下降会使许多年轻人无法为成年人的读写能力需求做好准备，即他们的读写能力不足以应对未来。因此，儿童阅读兴趣低下的结果是他们的读写能力不足以处理未来的工作。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In response, the NLT urges the government to act quickly by creating a reading task-force and prioritizing reading for pleasure in school curricula.(作为回应，NLT敦促政府迅速采取行动，成立阅读专项工作组，并在学校课程中优先考虑阅读乐趣。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了NLT敦促政府、社区、学校和家庭共同努力激发儿童的阅读热情，即主要介绍了提升儿童阅读兴趣的可能性。因此，最后一段主要讲述了提升儿童阅读兴趣的可能性。故选A项。 D Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark, raised a big question: Why do birds sing so much? As suggested by prior research, constant singing takes a lot of energy and reveals birds themselves - where they are and where their territories are, which is highly dangerous. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may have to exercise their vocal (发声的) muscles to produce top-performance songs. These findings could be relevant to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam. “Anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience an impair in vocal performance.” Adam says songbirds one day could help us enhance how we train and restore our own voices. To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches - little Australian songbirds. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exception was a few half-hour blocks each day when Adam turned the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. But Adam wondered whether that impacted what the resulting song sounded like. When she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness, she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it for a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily. “What they are highlighting is that you need a lot of practice to achieve a mastery in what you’ re doing,” says Ana Amador, a neuroscientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was also involved in the research. 12. What is the disadvantage of birds’ constant singing? A. Making birds less energetic. B. Making birds’ habitats noisy. C. Harming birds’ vocal muscles. D. Putting birds exposed to dangers. 13. What does the underlined word “impair” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Damage. B. Change. C. Trick. D. Magic. 14. What is the basis for Adam’s experiment? A. Light is a contributory factor for birds’ singing. B. Birds need daily practice for better singing. C. Weakening muscles result in less attractive songs. D. Male birds produce songs to attract female birds. 15. Which of the following sayings can well explain Ana Amador’s opinion? A. Never say never. B. Do all you can to win. C. Better late than never. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了丹麦南方大学的行为神经科学家Iris Adam对鸟类频繁歌唱原因的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As suggested by prior research, constant singing takes a lot of energy and reveals birds themselves - where they are and where their territories are, which is highly dangerous. (正如先前的研究所表明的那样，持续的歌唱需要大量的能量，并会揭示鸟类本身——它们在哪里，它们的领地在哪里，这是非常危险的。)”可知，鸟类的持续歌唱会消耗大量能量并暴露它们的位置和领地，这是非常危险的。因此，鸟类持续歌唱的缺点是使鸟类处于危险之中。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的““If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam. “Anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience an impair in vocal performance. (Adam说：“如果你把鸟类的结果应用于人类。”亚当说：“无论出于什么原因，只要你停止说话，你可能会经历声音表现的_____。”)”和划线词后文的“Adam says songbirds one day could help us enhance how we train and restore our own voices. (Adam说一天，鸣禽可以帮助我们加强训练和恢复自己的声音。)”可知,研究鸟鸣可以帮助我们训练和恢复我们自己的声音。由此可推知，当人们停止说话时，可能会在声音表现上有所受损，impair在这里的意思是“损害”，故划线词与A项意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches — little Australian songbirds. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. (为了弄清楚产生鸟鸣的肌肉是否需要每天锻炼，亚当在斑胸草雀（澳大利亚的小鸣禽）身上设计了一项实验。光是刺激鸟类唱歌的东西，所以她几乎全天候地让它们在黑暗中呆了一个星期，阻止它们唱歌。)”可知，Adam的实验依据是光线是鸟类歌唱的一个促成因素。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘What they are highlighting is that you need a lot of practice to achieve a mastery in what you’re doing,’ says Ana Amador, a neuroscientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was also involved in the research. (布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的神经科学家Ana Amador也参与了这项研究，她说：“他们强调的是，你需要大量的练习才能掌握你正在做的事情。”)”可知，Ana Amador认为需要大量的练习才能达到精通，这与“熟能生巧（Practice makes perfect）”这个谚语的意思相符。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。 For most of us, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为自己的需求发声的一些方法。 【16题详解】 前文“For most of us, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. It’s not hard to say your friend deserves a raise at work. (对我们大多数人来说，支持别人是很容易的。说你的朋友应该加薪并不难)”提到支持别人很容易，后文“How can you go from being everyone else’s advocate to standing up for yourself? (你怎么能从为别人发声变成为自己发声呢)”用问句的形式引出从为别人发声变成为自己发声的方法，空处起到过渡的作用，应该与支持自己不容易有关，因此E项“But we are often shy to advocate for our own needs. (但我们往往羞于为自己的需求发声)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，引出后文的问题。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“The next time someone asks you for a favor, consider if you can afford to say “yes”. (下次有人找你帮忙时，考虑一下你是否有能力说“行”)”建议在答应别人请求前衡量自己的能力，后文“Do you have an overflow of these resources that you can give after you’ve already cared for yourself? Do you have extra money on top of what you need? (在你已经照顾好自己之后，你是否有多余的这些资源可以给予别人？除了你所需要的之外，你还有多余的钱吗)”用两个问题进一步说明答应别人的请求需要建立在有多余的资源或金钱的基础上，空处应该和答应请求所付出的东西有关，因此D项“Think about what this “yes” will cost you. (想想这个“是”会让你付出什么代价)”符合语境，承接前文，后文的问题是对其展开说明，其中的yes在前文有同词复现。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“It’s easy to fall into the people-pleasing trap because you tend to get praised for this habit. (很容易陷入讨好他人的陷阱，因为你往往会因此而得到表扬)”解释容易陷入讨好他人陷阱的原因，后文“However, the cost of it can be your self-worth. (然而，它的代价可能是你的自我价值)”含有转折，表明讨好他人会牺牲自我价值，空处会点明讨好他人好的影响，因此A项“People-pleasing pleases people. (讨好型的人能让人开心)”符合语境，承接前文，和后文构成转折。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“People-pleasing is often motivated by fear — fear of not being liked, fear of rejection, fear of not belonging. (讨好型的人往往是出于恐惧——害怕不被喜欢，害怕被拒绝，害怕没有归属感)”分析讨好型的人背后的行为动机，后文“Start leaning towards courage and inner strength. (开始向勇气和内在力量倾斜)”给出摆脱讨好行为的具体建议，空处应该是建议不要讨好他人，因此G项“To break this habit, never rely on niceness and agreeableness. (要打破这个习惯，永远不要依赖于友善和随和)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的rely on和后文的leaning towards相对。故选G。 【20题详解】 前文“We often automatically react to others’ requests without pausing to consider our own desires. To get comfortable with standing up for yourself, you need to change this tendency. Instead of reacting to others, determine what you want first. (我们经常对别人的要求自动做出反应，而没有停下来考虑自己的愿望。为了适应为自己挺身而出，你需要改变这种倾向。与其对别人做出反应，不如先确定自己想要什么)”建议改变总是考虑他人需求的倾向，先明确自己的需求，空处是段末句，应该是说明接着如何处理自己的需求，因此B项“Then communicate your request. (然后传达你的要求)”符合语境，承接前文。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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I vividly remember the accident many years ago.

He lowered his head, which I thought was due to his shyness. Also, I noticed him wearing a pair of shoes apparently outgrowing his shoe size. “Maybe he comes from a financially disadvantaged family,” I thought to myself. However, it was also hard to understand Martin’s behavior. When asked to make a self- introduction on the platform, he simply spelled his name, leaving the other students confused. Besides, Martin’s study habits and skills were nowhere to be seen. Unable to recognize some English letters, he even failed to write a short essay according to given instructions. Therefore, I wondered whether a special school teaching kids with autism (自闭症) was more suitable for him. I looked through his previous grade reports, only to find that his academic performances in the first grade were great. To figure out what happened to him, I decided to visit his former school and communicate with the headteacher. I learned that Martin’s mom had a mental disorder after getting divorced last year. Now, the little boy had to take care of both himself and his mom. Since Martin’s brainpower was normal, he would stay put in my class. I had never encountered a student like Martin before. It was a headache to help him fit into and catch up with his classmates. I had dreamed about teaching, so I hated it when the idea of giving up such a student lingered (萦绕) vividly in my mind. Two days later, it was Martin’s turn to clean the blackboard. Rising to his feet and ready to walk to the platform, he was tripped by one student on purpose. Suddenly, he couldn’t resist weeping alone. Contrary to what I assumed, no one lent him a helping hand. I sent Martin to the infirmary (医务室) and screamed at the others that Martin’s difference was a reason for being treated warmly and nicely. 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 realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I realized it was high time that I should shoulder my responsibility. The next day, I had a heartfelt chat with Martin at his home. Sensing I was worth trusting, Martin sighed, “Thanks for your kindness. But burdened with huge family pressure, I feel my future will be dark.” In response, I held his hands firmly, convincing him that nothing was impossible with a willing heart. “Let’s fight for a promising future together, shall we?” I continued. He nodded slightly. Gradually, positive changes were seen in Martin. He was no longer ashamed of his appearance. In classes, with his attention fixed on the Powerpoint slides and textbooks, he handled reading comprehension from scratch, managed to read lengthy texts and voiced his own opinions. During breaks, long gone were the days when Martin had escaped to his inner safe space. Befriending classmates around him, he found they were on the same wavelength. I came to realize that no matter what problems my students had, I, as a teacher, should try my best to help them out. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的学生马丁家庭困难，作者看了他以前的成绩报告，才发现他在一年级的学习成绩很好。为了弄清楚他到底出了什么事，作者决定去拜访他以前的学校，和校长交流一下。了解情况以后，作者决定帮助马丁，于是和马丁进行真诚对话，打动了马丁，马丁也因此变得更加好学了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到该是我承担责任的时候了”可知，第一段可描写作者和马丁进行真诚交谈，马丁也认为作者值得信任了，两人关系更进一步了。 ②由第二段首句内容“渐渐地，马丁身上出现了积极的变化”可知，第二段可描写马丁发生的变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：作者承担责任——真诚交谈——认为作者可信——马丁袒露内心想法——马丁发生改变——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续：continue/go on ②集中：fix on/focus on ③尽最大努力：try one’s best to/spare no effort to 情绪类 ①真诚：heartfelt/sincere ②善举：kindness/good-deed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Befriending classmates around him, he found they were on the same wavelength.
