I have followed racing drivers and organizers around, but they were too busy to talk to me when I finally got back to my hotel at night, everything, including the restaurant, was closed.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21. Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A. To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B. To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C. To make more people know about Jane Austen. D. To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 22. Who made a mark on nursing? A. Jane Austen. B. Florence Nightingale. C. Marie Curie. D. Mother Teresa. 23. What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A. They won Nobel Prize. B. They served in the army. C. They gave all their belongings away. D. They worked for the poor. B College professors these days face an ever - higher bar to draw the attention of their students, forced to compete with the smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A & M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science. Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with endless energy and enthusiasm. Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have got hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms. In the kid - friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to sweets, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Her department’s online page has about 2.5 million subscribers. It’s clear that she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to attract the attention of her younger students. Fortunately, by the second semester, she found her footing, tweaking her approach to get her students interested in her classes. She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs, including the well-attended annual TAMU Physics and Engineering Festival and the highly popular physics videos on social media. As a leader in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended TAMU after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader, was more inspiring for me to even go into physics,” Dhanani said. 24. How does Tatiana make her students focus on her classes? A. By connecting abstract concepts with real life. B. By stopping students bringing phones to class. C. By adding interesting videos from the Internet. D. By making herself approachable and easygoing. 25. What does the underlined word “tweaking” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Understanding. B. Continuing. C. Recording. D. Changing. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Tatiana’s family life. B. Tatiana’s achievements. C. Ways to celebrate festivals. D. Education programs in TAMU. 27. What does Dhanani want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. She wanted to become a role model. B. She inspired others to learn physics. C. Tatiana has a positive impact on her. D. Tatiana has been very strict with her. C Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品). California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute. While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. 28. What can we say about products from California Cultured? A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale. C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water. 29. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3? A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis. B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge. C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world. D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand. 30. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat? A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes. C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat. 31. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees? A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else. C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers. D Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026. “People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said. How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow. “Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor. Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said. 32. What is Tessa Weber’s attitude to the new guideline on alcohol drinking? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 33. What do we know about acetaldehyde? A. It encourages people to drink less. B. It benefits the repairs of heart cells. C. It keeps alcohol from breaking down. D. It contributes to the growth of cancer. 34. How much alcohol is a man recommended to drink at most per day by the US government? A. A 5-ounce glass of wine. B. A-6-ounce can of beer. C A 10-ounce glass of wine. D. A 12-ounce can of beer. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. New Research on Types of Cancer B. Alcoholics Are on the Rise in the US C. Risks and Benefits of Drinking Alcohol D. Less Alcohol Is Better for Health 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。 Characteristics of an excellent scientist The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences. ___36___ Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist.

While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 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。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 邯郸市涉县一中高二第一学期期末模拟考试 英语试卷 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一册~选择性必修第二册。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do with the old toys?

C 【解析】 【原文】M: Good morning, everybody. Glad to meet you here. I’d like to share my experience as a sports journalist with all of you. A few years ago, my newspaper sent me to China to report on the Olympic Games in Beijing. Everywhere I went I was questioned by journalism students: How much money did I earn? How many countries had I visited? Had I met David Beckham? In China, sports reporting is seen as a dream job and Chinese students are fascinated by foreign sports reporters. Several years later I visited China again to write about a major motor race in Shanghai. At the track I saw one of those former students, Li Jie. He was working for one of China’s largest news agencies. I asked him about his life as a sports writer. He replied that sometimes it was wonderful. But there was a lot of travel, a lot of stress and sometimes sports people were not very helpful. Li had discovered one of the hard truths about life as a sports writer. You might think all you need are writing skills and knowledge of sports. These are certainly important, but you also need to be prepared for many problems. On that visit to Shanghai for example, the journey from my hotel to the race-track took at least three hours. For four days, I followed racing drivers and organizers around but they were too busy to talk to me. When I finally got back to my hotel at night, everything, including the restaurant, was closed. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Women are such amazing beings and if you need a bit of inspiration to keep going, here are stories of inspiring women who made a mark on history! Jane Austen (1775-1817) She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war. Marie Curie (1867-1934) One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata. 21. Why is the £10 note mentioned in the text? A. To increase readers’ interest in Jane Austen. B. To show the value of Jane Austen’s face. C. To make more people know about Jane Austen. D. To highlight the recognition and impact of Jane Austen’s works. 22. Who made a mark on nursing? A. Jane Austen. B. Florence Nightingale. C. Marie Curie. D. Mother Teresa. 23. What did Marie Curie and Mother Teresa have in common? A. They won Nobel Prize. B. They served in the army. C. They gave all their belongings away. D. They worked for the poor. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本篇文章主要讲述了历史上四位鼓舞人心的女性人物，她们分别是简·奥斯汀、弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔、玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女，介绍了她们的主要成就和对社会的贡献。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Her face is now on the new £10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.(她的头像现在出现在新版10英镑纸币上，每天都在提醒我们，她的书对我们所有人产生了多大的影响)”可知，提到10英镑纸币是为了突出简·奥斯汀的作品对社会的认可度和影响力，故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimen War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army. She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war.(她出生在一个富裕的家庭，这个家庭不赞成她从事护理工作。在收到一封来自战争部长的信，信中要求她组建一个团队，在克里米亚战争期间照顾英国士兵，之后她搬到了伦敦。这是妇女第一次被允许在军队服役。她以英雄的身份回家了，甚至还收到了维多利亚女王的感谢信。她在战争期间为医疗保健事业留下了宝贵的遗产)”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在护理方面做出了贡献，故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so.(1911年，她再次获得诺贝尔奖，这是第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女性)”以及第五段“She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration.(她在1979年获得诺贝尔奖，并取消了盛大的晚宴庆祝活动)”可知，玛丽·居里和特蕾莎修女都获得了诺贝尔奖，故选A。 B College professors these days face an ever - higher bar to draw the attention of their students, forced to compete with the smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A & M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science. Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with endless energy and enthusiasm. Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have got hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms. In the kid - friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to sweets, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Her department’s online page has about 2.5 million subscribers. It’s clear that she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to attract the attention of her younger students. Fortunately, by the second semester, she found her footing, tweaking her approach to get her students interested in her classes. She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs, including the well-attended annual TAMU Physics and Engineering Festival and the highly popular physics videos on social media. As a leader in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended TAMU after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader, was more inspiring for me to even go into physics,” Dhanani said. 24. How does Tatiana make her students focus on her classes? A. By connecting abstract concepts with real life. B. By stopping students bringing phones to class. C. By adding interesting videos from the Internet. D. By making herself approachable and easygoing. 25. What does the underlined word “tweaking” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Understanding. B. Continuing. C. Recording. D. Changing. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A Tatiana’s family life. B. Tatiana’s achievements. C. Ways to celebrate festivals. D. Education programs in TAMU. 27. What does Dhanani want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. She wanted to become a role model. B. She inspired others to learn physics. C. Tatiana has a positive impact on her. D. Tatiana has been very strict with her. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。文章以Tatiana Erukhimova教授为例，讲述了网红教授更受学生青睐这一现象。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据句第二段“In the kid - friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to sweets, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. (在这些儿童友好的视频中，Erukhimova在她的实验中使用了一系列日常用品，从乒乓球和卫生纸到糖果，自行车轮子和吹风机)”可知，Tatiana通过将抽象概念与日常生活联系起来，使学生专注于她的课程。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to attract the attention of her younger students. Fortunately, by the second semester, she found her footing, tweaking her approach to get her students interested in her classes. ( 约20年前，当她第一次开始教授大学新生课程时，她很难吸引年轻学生的注意力。幸运的是，到了第二学期，她找到了自己的立足点，tweaking了自己的方法，让学生对她的课感兴趣)”可知，为了让学会生对她的课感兴趣，她改变了自己的教学方法。所以划线词的意思是“改变”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs, including the well-attended annual TAMU Physics and Engineering Festival and the highly popular physics videos on social media. (她赢得的不仅仅是社交媒体上的认可。10月，她被授予国家科学推广奖，以表彰她通过创新的教育项目，包括参加人数众多的TAMU年度物理与工程节，以及在社交媒体上非常受欢迎的物理视频，带来了物理学的兴奋)”可知，第四段主要讲述了Tatiana在科学推广方面的成就，包括获得国家奖项和举办受欢迎的物理节等。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a leader in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended TAMU after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader, was more inspiring for me to even go into physics,” Dhanani said. (作为女性代表性不足STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）领域的领导者，她已成为一些人的榜样。Afiya Dhanani在网上看到Erukhimova的视频后参加了TAMU。Dhanani说：“看着Tatiana博士在网上做实验，尤其是因为她是一名女性领导者，这更鼓舞了我进入物理学领域)”可知，Tatiana对她Dhanani产生了积极的影响。故选C项。 C Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品). California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute. While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. 28. What can we say about products from California Cultured? A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale. C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water. 29. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3? A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis. B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge. C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world. D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand. 30. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat? A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes. C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat. 31. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees? A By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else. C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。面对气候变化导致可可产量减少的情况，各家公司正在想方设法种植可可和生产可可替代品。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. (植物细胞培养公司California culture正在加州西萨克拉门托的一处工厂用细胞培养物种植可可，并计划明年开始销售其产品。该公司首席执行官艾伦•珀尔斯坦表示，这种方法将可可豆细胞和糖水结合在一起，使它们能够快速繁殖，并在一周内成熟，而传统的收获方法需要6到8个月。这个过程也不再需要那么多的水和劳动力)” 可知，California Cultured公司的可可生产速度很快。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. (据研究网站Statista报道，2023年，全球巧克力糖果的销售额达到2385亿美元。美国糖果协会表示，仅在美国，2023年的销售额就超过了250亿美元。今年早些时候，可可豆价格迅速上涨，原因是需求旺盛，以及西非因植物病害和天气变化造成的作物问题。该地区生产世界上最多的可可)”可推断，巧克力的全球市场是巨大的。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. (在美国推动室内生产可可之前，鸡肉等其他产品已经在实验室中种植)” 可推断，作者在本段提及“鸡肉” 是为了表明生产可可替代品的推动力。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. (玛氏的可可植物科学高级主管乔安娜·胡说，玛氏在加州大学戴维斯分校设有一个研究机构，旨在提高可可植物的适应力，使它们能够更容易、更快地从恶劣的环境中恢复过来。玛氏生产M& Ms巧克力和士力架。该设施拥有一批活的可可树，因此科学家可以研究是什么使它们对更多疾病有抵抗力，以帮助生产国的农民，并确保可可豆的稳定供应)” 可知，Mars公司通过提高可可树的抵抗力来解决它们所面临的挑战。故选C。 D Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026. “People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said. How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow. “Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor. Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said. 32.

A 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了关于饮酒与健康关系的研究发现和建议，包括不同国家对于饮酒指南的更新、个人对于减少饮酒的看法，以及酒精对健康的潜在风险等内容。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.(德克萨斯州奥斯汀市28岁的Tessa Weber说：“像我这样年纪的人更容易接受它。”她今年戒了酒，因为她发现酒精增加了她的焦虑。她喜欢这样做的效果——更好的睡眠，更有活力——并坚持了下来。“重新评估你与酒精的关系是件好事，”Weber说)”可知，Tessa Weber对新饮酒指南持积极态度。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.(你每天能喝多少饮料？那得看情况。饮酒会增加患几种癌症的风险，包括结肠癌、肝癌、乳腺癌、口腔癌和咽喉癌。酒精在体内分解成一种叫做乙醛的物质，它会损害你的细胞，阻止它们自我修复。这就为癌症的生长创造了条件)”可知，可知，乙醛有助于癌症的生长。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.(纳伊米说：“如果人们遵循政府的饮食指南，建议男性每天饮酒不超过两杯，女性每天饮酒不超过一杯，那么美国每年数千人的死亡是可以避免的。”一杯饮料相当于一罐12盎司的啤酒，一杯5盎司的葡萄酒或一杯白酒)”可知，美国政府建议男性饮酒不超过两杯，而一杯相当于杯5盎司的葡萄酒，也就是一天不超过一杯10盎司的葡萄酒。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.(人们曾经认为喝点酒对心脏有益，但更好的研究方法却给这一观点泼了一盆冷水。“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法，”不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚大学加拿大物质使用研究所所长蒂莫西·纳伊米博士说)”以及纵观全文可知，“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法”，这是文章的主旨，后文围绕这一主旨展开论述，说明少喝酒的好处，如可以降低患癌风险等，由此可知选项D“Less Alcohol Is Better for Health(少喝酒对健康有好处)”是本文最好的标题。故选D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。 Characteristics of an excellent scientist The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences. ___36___ Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist. Curiosity An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. ___37___ Patience Becoming a scientist takes a long time. ___38___ Even if you think you have received some education in science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification type of person, this may not be the best choice for you. Ethical (道德的) qualities In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment, since they are linked and they can affect one another in the long run. ___39___ Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence. Working habits ___40___ In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new. A. To make discoveries, you have to think differently. B. There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. C. It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods. D. One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory. E. An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation and keeps it in mind. F. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal interests or public opinion. G. Without a drive to ask questions or even wonder, a scientist will never get to the first stage of the scientific process. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. B 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。成功绝非偶然，文章主要说明了成功的科学家都有一些特别的品质。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences.(字典将科学家定义为具有一门或多门科学专业知识的人，尤其是自然科学)”可知，上文提到了字典对科学家这一名词的解释和理解。C项“它还将科学家定义为使用科学方法的人”接着解释这一名词，与上句构成并列关系，符合逻辑，其中“also”是关键信息。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据本段小标题“Curiosity(好奇心)”以及上文“An excellent scientist must be very curious about things.(一个优秀的科学家必须对事物充满好奇心)”可知，该段说明科学家要具备的一个品质就是有好奇心。空格处应该与“好奇心”有关，所以G项“如果一个科学家没有发问甚至好奇的动力，他/她就永远无法进入科学过程的第一阶段”符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Patience(耐心)”以及上文“Becoming a scientist takes a long time.(成为一名科学家需要很长时间)”可知，成为科学家需要很长的时间并且需要一定的耐心。由此推知空格处应该介绍与“耐心”有关的内容。故B项“很少有工作比这个工作需要更长的时间”符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据本段小标题“Ethical qualities(道德品质)”以及下文“Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.(坚持用矛盾来证明的旧信念是不诚实的。然而，在没有有力证据的情况下，这种信念不应该改变)”可知，科学家要诚实、坚持真理，这是科学家特征的体现。由此推知，空格处应该介绍与科学家的“道德品质”有关的内容。F项“科学家必须诚实地报告研究结果，而不考虑个人利益或舆论”符合语境。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据本段小标题“Working habits(工作习惯)”以及后文“In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new.(除此之外，根据需要，他/她可以很好地单独或小组工作，他/她还需要在纸上和口头上交流想法。网络将他/她与从事类似项目的同事联系起来，在那里他/她可能会发现一些新的东西)”可知，本段主要讲工作习惯，且下句介绍了科学家良好的工作习惯和工作能力。故E项“一个优秀的科学家甚至会记下最微小的观察结果并牢记在心”也是工作习惯。故选 E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Some people who love their hometowns want to show everything about them.

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 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。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.” After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了麦克斯在家里做的每一件小事都受到父母的责备，这使他很沮丧，但是却因为父母教导的一个小行为，通过了面试。让麦克斯明白了父母的苦心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到麦克斯接受面试了”可知，第一段可描写麦克斯通过面试，面试官说明原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“面试结束后，麦克斯回到家，拥抱了他的父母”可知，第二段可描写麦克斯明白了父母的苦心，道歉并感谢父母。 2.续写线索：麦克斯面试——麦克斯通过面试——得知原因——回家道歉——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②道歉：apologize/make an apology ③看重：evaluate/value 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show gratitude to ②聪明：smart/clever 【点睛】[高分句型1] We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you.
