I wish I could tell that boy that his dreams would come true and that he would grow up to pilot spaceships. When I first arrived in space, I travelled eight and a half minutes on an extremely wild ride on a rocket ship. However, it was short enough that it was more like driving a car at maximum performance on a very rough (颠簸的) road. As soon as I got to weightlessness my body was in a completely different environment, which brought about throwing-up and exhaustion. Travel sickness medicine helped my body adapt to it. It's extremely mind-expanding to get the true reality of our world from space, from glancing at the entire length of the Himalayas to seeing the wildfires of Australia. And perhaps the most impactful is to see something rare. One dawn, I looked down the world with my camera trying to steal every moment I could. It was just the right angle between the sun behind the horizon and the right rare collection of ice crystals(冰晶), high in the atmosphere. There was an unearthly light, almost like a surreal rainbow. I felt like the world had just shown me a secret. One night, I saw a shooting star, an enormous, random (随机的) rock from the universe trapped by the Earth's gravity. You can't help but think that rock just went by us. It did make my blood run cold when I thought it could have just as easily come through our spaceship and made a significant hole, which probably would have killed all of us. I know how to repair holes in the ship, but if the chance event is large enough, you're dead. It is dangerous, risk-filled, but fascinatingly beautiful and rewarding. 24. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 1? A. He was fond of travelling. B. He longed to be an astronaut. C. He had an enquiring mind. D. He desired to own a spaceship. 25. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The long space journey. B. The poor car performance. C. The sudden speed change. D. The weightless environment. 26. What impressed the author most when he saw the earth from space? A. The hard-to-see light. B. The shiny ice crystals. C. The dream-like rainbow. D. The accidental wildfires. 27 Which word best describes the author according to the text? A. Adventurous. B. Hardworking. C. Innovative. D. Responsible. C Who among us hasn’t weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute (通勤), or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic? But while it’s obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration, translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult. It’s what Dr. Christian Krekel and Dr. George MacKerron have been exploring. They propose a new method for estimating the Value of Time (VOT) and calculate (计算), for the first time, VOTs for a wide range of common activities such as walking, commuting and socialising. Through an app called Mappiness, they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere. With data from over 30,000 people around the UK, the researchers were able to identify how people felt when carrying out 42 daily activities and calculate a monetary (货币的) value for each activity. Interestingly, “waiting or queuing” was found to have a strong and significant negative impact on happiness, ranking as the third least enjoyable activity. The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth £12.20 per hour; commuting £8.40 per hour; and waiting during commuting, a huge £17.20 per hour. These high costs suggest that respondents would be better off spending their time doing something else. Or, as Dr. Krekel says, “Someone who is waiting for 60 minutes would need to be paid £12.20 to achieve the same level of happiness if they were not waiting.” This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time-saving facilities, helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money. By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population, the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit. 28. Why does the author mention two situations in paragraph 1? A To present a fact. B. To introduce the topic. C. To explain the issue. D. To compare the differences. 29. The researchers estimated the VOTs through ________. A. random surveys B. calculated case studies C. on-site observations D. face-to-face interviews 30. Which of the following might have the highest VOT according to the research? A. Commuting to school on a bus for thirty minutes. B. Waiting for a coffee for nearly one hour at a café. C. Spending two hours shopping with a friend at a mall. D. Being stuck in traffic for an hour on the way to work. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The appeal for future studies. B. The challenges of the project. C. The application of the research. D. The improvement of the method. D At the crack of dawn in California’s Central Valley, birds sing their morning songs and some of them dive down from the branches of a tree that has stood its ground for centuries. A few feet above the tree's base is a white ring, indicating how high the San Joaquin River once rose. Dos Rios is supposed to flood — it’s a floodplain, recently transformed into California’s newest state park. Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby. Therefore, in 2008, Rentner, president of the nonprofit organization River Partners, began the process of buying the land from a farming family. Since then, her team has been transforming the land into what it naturally was. Reengineering involves cutting holes into levees (防洪堤) to release floodwaters, sparing nearby communities. The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature. For indigenous (土著的) people who were forced to leave their homes, this new park also means a lot. With the construction of a 3-acre Native Use Garden, indigenous people plan to plant native plants that would be beneficial not only to the habitat, but also for indigenous herbs and cultural practices. Now, the land, just like a time machine, looks more like it did hundreds of years ago, before farms and towns cropped up. Though holding great promise, the 2. 5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more.” 32. What was Dos Rios like before becoming a state park? A. A plain threatened by floods. B. A valley covered with trees. C. A natural reserve rich in water. D. A city park famous for birds. 33. What is the working principle of River Partners? A. Boosting the yields in the local fields. B. Making the most of natural resources. C. Putting the safety of local communities first. D. Operating in harmony with the natural world. 34. What is a consequence of the restoration of Dos Rios according to the text? A. Introduction of foreign plant species. B. Loss of indigenous cultural practices. C. Increased efforts in restoration projects. D. Further damage to the local environment. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Dos Rios in California: A Secret Wonderland B. California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine C Indigenous People in Central Valley: A Living Legend D. Nonprofit Organization River Partners: A Green Pioneer 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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. ___36___ Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. ___37___ Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ___38___ In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. ___39___ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. ___40___ While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 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。 Whit, a professional magician, was hired by a restaurant to do magic for the customers.

When he said, “You use your super power to tell me what colour the card is, red or black, ” he ____53____ her foot underneath the table once when he said the word “red” and twice when he said “black. ” A few months later, Whit received a letter from Wendy.

They came in various flavors and were all appetizing. Whenever I attempted to read aloud like Mom, however, no words dared to climb out. My world was silent, without a voice to call my own. That silence invited jeers (嘲笑), tears, and many heartbreaks. I couldn't remember how many times I had switched schools and how many times I had run home crying, signing desperately to Mom, “I'm done with school.” My fingers were the voice I couldn't find and the only way I could cry out. Everything changed, however, when I met Ms. Park. It was a lovely day. Mom drove me to my new school and I felt calm until the car stopped in front of a large white building. The moment I got off, Ms. Park, my new English teacher, came up. “Nice to meet you,” she signed. How could she know sign language! I signed back while pretending to be distracted by the posters on the walls. “Interested in our writing contest?” she asked. I looked up, noticing the huge black-and-white words on one poster. “Try it! Just hand in a story to me next week,” Ms. Park smiled. The thought of entering fascinated me. It was my chance to speak without actually speaking. At home, I sat with a blank sheet of paper in front of me. Closing my eyes, I heard Mom's honey-like stories, so tasty that anyone who listened begged for more. She always told me that satisfying stories came from the heart. Then, I had it. What story could be closer to my heart than my own? So after a week of intense writing, I let my story flow through my pen and drip onto the paper and handed it to Ms. Park. Then, one day, when walking through a crowded hall, I saw Ms. Park signing from afar, “You've made the cut (入选)!” Her dancing fingers were too good to be true and I began waiting for the day of the upcoming awards ceremony. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 That day, however, I learnt all winners should read stories on stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A story began streaming from my fingers, along with Ms. Park's voice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 机密★考试结束前 2024学年第一学期温州市高二期末教学质量统一检测 英语试题（A卷） 本试题卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。全卷共12页，选择题部分1至9页，非选择题部分10至12页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卷上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卷上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卷上，写在本试题卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B 【解析】 【原文】Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Face to face. Today, let me introduce you to a tale of inspiration that started with a single lightbulb moment and turned into a movement. I’m talking about Daniel Webb and his project, Everyday Plastic. Daniel moved to the coastal town in 2016, and was shocked to learn that there were no recycling options offered at his new home. With no way to deal with plastic responsibly, he decided to conduct an experiment: he would collect all of his plastic waste for one year. He worked with a scientist to look at the plastic he collected and learned a lot about how much plastic he used. This experiment changed his life, and that’s how Everyday Plastic started. Now, Daniel wants to help people see how they can make a difference with plastic. His project shows that anyone can do something about plastic waste, no matter who they are or how old they are. Now, let’s give a round of applause for Daniel Webb, who turned a small-town problem into a nationwide movement against plastic pollution. 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 Ololo Farm Tour If you’re looking to escape from the noise of city life, the Ololo farm tour package in Kenya will offer the perfect day for families and groups.

(发现我们农业实践的秘密，亲眼看到我们的新鲜农产品是如何种植和收获的，并深入了解从田地到餐桌的旅程。)”可知，游客可以在Ololo农场了解耕作方法。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Ololo features its environmentally-friendly farming techniques, including the production of our organic fertilizer “Ololo Worm Tea.” (Ololo以其环保的农业技术为特色，包括生产我们的有机肥料“Ololo Worm Tea”。)”可知，Ololo农场的特别之处在于它使用天然肥料。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Price部分“People aged 16+ (16岁及以上人士)”、“$30/ person (30美元/人)”和“Kids aged 5-16 (5-16岁的儿童)”、“$19/ person (19美元/人)”可知，16岁以上的人每人30美元，5-16岁的孩子每人19美元，因此一对夫妇和一个13岁的孩子共需支付：30+30+19=79 (美元)。故选C。 B As a boy, I watched spacecraft launches, and when looking up at all the stars in the night sky, I wondered whether I could go to space. I wish I could tell that boy that his dreams would come true and that he would grow up to pilot spaceships. When I first arrived in space, I travelled eight and a half minutes on an extremely wild ride on a rocket ship. However, it was short enough that it was more like driving a car at maximum performance on a very rough (颠簸的) road. As soon as I got to weightlessness my body was in a completely different environment, which brought about throwing-up and exhaustion. Travel sickness medicine helped my body adapt to it. It's extremely mind-expanding to get the true reality of our world from space, from glancing at the entire length of the Himalayas to seeing the wildfires of Australia. And perhaps the most impactful is to see something rare. One dawn, I looked down the world with my camera trying to steal every moment I could. It was just the right angle between the sun behind the horizon and the right rare collection of ice crystals(冰晶), high in the atmosphere. There was an unearthly light, almost like a surreal rainbow. I felt like the world had just shown me a secret. One night, I saw a shooting star, an enormous, random (随机的) rock from the universe trapped by the Earth's gravity. You can't help but think that rock just went by us. It did make my blood run cold when I thought it could have just as easily come through our spaceship and made a significant hole, which probably would have killed all of us. I know how to repair holes in the ship, but if the chance event is large enough, you're dead. It is dangerous, risk-filled, but fascinatingly beautiful and rewarding. 24. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 1? A. He was fond of travelling. B. He longed to be an astronaut. C. He had an enquiring mind. D. He desired to own a spaceship. 25. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The long space journey. B. The poor car performance. C. The sudden speed change. D. The weightless environment. 26. What impressed the author most when he saw the earth from space? A. The hard-to-see light. B. The shiny ice crystals. C. The dream-like rainbow. D. The accidental wildfires. 27. Which word best describes the author according to the text? A. Adventurous. B. Hardworking. C. Innovative. D. Responsible. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己儿时梦想成为宇航员的愿望成真，并描述了驾驶飞船的经历以及在太空中看到的令人震撼的景象。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As a boy, I watched spacecraft launches, and when looking up at all the stars in the night sky, I wondered whether I could go to space. I wish I could tell that boy that his dreams would come true and that he would grow up to pilot spaceships.(当我还是个孩子的时候，我看着宇宙飞船发射，当我仰望夜空中所有的星星时，我想知道我是否可以去太空。我希望我能告诉那个男孩，他的梦想会实现，他长大后会驾驶宇宙飞船)”可知，作者渴望成为一名宇航员。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, it was short enough that it was more like driving a car at maximum performance on a very rough (颠簸的) road. As soon as I got to weightlessness my body was in a completely different environment, which brought about throwing-up and exhaustion.(然而，它足够短，以至于更像是在一条非常颠簸的道路上以最高性能驾驶汽车。 一到失重状态，我的身体就处于一个完全不同的环境中，这带来了呕吐和疲惫。）”可知，晕车药帮助我的身体适应了失重环境。“it” 指的是“失重环境”，失重让作者产生了晕车和疲惫。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And perhaps the most impactful is to see something rare. …There was an unearthly light, almost like a surreal rainbow.(也许最有影响力的是看到一些稀有的东西。……有一种很罕见的光，就像超现实的彩虹)”可知，作者在太空中看到地球时，给他留下最深刻印象的是难得一见的光。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is dangerous, risk-filled, but fascinatingly beautiful and rewarding.(它是危险的、充满风险的，但令人着迷、美丽而有回报的)”可知，作者在描述太空体验时认为尽管很危险，但却充满魅力和回报，可推断作者是一个喜欢冒险的人。故选A。 C Who among us hasn’t weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute (通勤), or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic? But while it’s obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration, translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult. It’s what Dr. Christian Krekel and Dr. George MacKerron have been exploring. They propose a new method for estimating the Value of Time (VOT) and calculate (计算), for the first time, VOTs for a wide range of common activities such as walking, commuting and socialising. Through an app called Mappiness, they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere. With data from over 30,000 people around the UK, the researchers were able to identify how people felt when carrying out 42 daily activities and calculate a monetary (货币的) value for each activity. Interestingly, “waiting or queuing” was found to have a strong and significant negative impact on happiness, ranking as the third least enjoyable activity. The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth £12.20 per hour; commuting £8.40 per hour; and waiting during commuting, a huge £17.20 per hour. These high costs suggest that respondents would be better off spending their time doing something else. Or, as Dr. Krekel says, “Someone who is waiting for 60 minutes would need to be paid £12.20 to achieve the same level of happiness if they were not waiting.” This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time-saving facilities, helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money. By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population, the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit. 28. Why does the author mention two situations in paragraph 1? A. To present a fact. B. To introduce the topic. C. To explain the issue. D. To compare the differences. 29. The researchers estimated the VOTs through ________. A. random surveys B. calculated case studies C. on-site observations D. face-to-face interviews 30. Which of the following might have the highest VOT according to the research? A. Commuting to school on a bus for thirty minutes. B. Waiting for a coffee for nearly one hour at a café. C. Spending two hours shopping with a friend at a mall. D. Being stuck in traffic for an hour on the way to work. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The appeal for future studies. B. The challenges of the project. C. The application of the research. D. The improvement of the method. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员通过应用程序收集数据算出多种日常活动的时间价值，发现等待或排队对幸福感有负面影响，该方法能助力政策制定者的相关决策。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Who among us hasn’t weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute (通勤), or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic? But while it’s obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration, translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult. (我们当中有谁没有权衡过参加一个需要长途通勤的活动的价值，或者发现自己因为交通堵塞而心情不好？但是，虽然很明显，有些活动会给我们带来快乐，而其他活动只会给我们带来沮丧，但历史证明，将这种理解转化为可以帮助指导政策决策的数据是困难的)”可知，此处先提到这两种日常生活中常见的与时间利用和感受相关的场景，再指出将人们对不同活动的感受转化为数据，进而指导政策决策很困难。由此可知，作者提到这两种情况是为了引出文章的主题，即如何通过数据衡量时间价值并指导政策决策。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Through an app called Mappiness, they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere. (通过一款名为Mappiness的应用程序，他们可以在一天中随机询问人们的快乐程度，并记录下他们在做某事或在某处时那一刻的真实感受)”可知，研究人员通过随机调查估算了时间价值。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth £12.20 per hour; commuting £8.40 per hour; and waiting during commuting, a huge £17.20 per hour. (VOT显示，花60分钟等待每小时价值12.20英镑；通勤每小时8.40英镑；在通勤途中等待，每小时17.20英镑)”可知，D项“在上班路上堵车一小时”属于通勤期间的等待，其时间价值最高。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time-saving facilities, helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money. By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population, the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit. (这种计算VOT的新方法使研究人员能够衡量为节省时间的设施提供资金的好处，帮助决策者做出明智的决定，决定把钱花在哪里最好。通过展示等待和通勤对人们的影响，这项研究为资助一些项目提供了强有力的理由，这些项目将减少人们花在这些活动上的时间，并促进所有受益人群的福祉)”可知，本段围绕该研究在实际决策和项目资金支持方面的应用展开，介绍了研究成果在现实中的用途。故选C项。 D At the crack of dawn in California’s Central Valley, birds sing their morning songs and some of them dive down from the branches of a tree that has stood its ground for centuries. A few feet above the tree's base is a white ring, indicating how high the San Joaquin River once rose. Dos Rios is supposed to flood — it’s a floodplain, recently transformed into California’s newest state park. Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby. Therefore, in 2008, Rentner, president of the nonprofit organization River Partners, began the process of buying the land from a farming family. Since then, her team has been transforming the land into what it naturally was. Reengineering involves cutting holes into levees (防洪堤) to release floodwaters, sparing nearby communities. The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature. For indigenous (土著的) people who were forced to leave their homes, this new park also means a lot. With the construction of a 3-acre Native Use Garden, indigenous people plan to plant native plants that would be beneficial not only to the habitat, but also for indigenous herbs and cultural practices. Now, the land, just like a time machine, looks more like it did hundreds of years ago, before farms and towns cropped up. Though holding great promise, the 2. 5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more.” 32. What was Dos Rios like before becoming a state park? A. A plain threatened by floods. B. A valley covered with trees. C. A natural reserve rich in water. D. A city park famous for birds. 33. What is the working principle of River Partners? A. Boosting the yields in the local fields. B. Making the most of natural resources. C. Putting the safety of local communities first. D. Operating in harmony with the natural world. 34. What is a consequence of the restoration of Dos Rios according to the text? A. Introduction of foreign plant species. B. Loss of indigenous cultural practices. C Increased efforts in restoration projects. D. Further damage to the local environment. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Dos Rios in California: A Secret Wonderland B. California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine C. Indigenous People in Central Valley: A Living Legend D. Nonprofit Organization River Partners: A Green Pioneer 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是非盈利组织River Partners如何将加州的Dos Rios这个曾经受洪水威胁的平原改造成与自然和谐相处、人们可以享受自然的州立公园的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Just 15 years ago, this area looked quite different. In the summer months, the River flowed lazily around the edges of this park, but in the spring, when snow melted, the river took on a forceful character, sweeping through this land, which caused damage to crops and homes nearby.(就在15年前，这个地区看起来完全不同。在夏季几个月里，这条河在公园的边缘慵懒地流淌，但在春天，当雪融化时，这条河变得有力，席卷了这片土地，给附近的庄稼和房屋造成了破坏。)”可知，在成为州立公园之前，Dos Rios是受洪水威胁的平原。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“The solution is designed to work with nature instead of against it, making Dos Rios a new place for people to enjoy nature.(该解决方案旨在与自然合作，而不是与自然对抗，使Dos Rios成为人们享受自然的新地方。)”可知，River Partners的工作原理是与自然世界和谐相处。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Though holding great promise, the 2.5-square-mile area is a small part of a vast agricultural region, and even restoring (修复) that much land has been no easy task. However, Rentner is optimistic, “We are thinking about doing 10 more Dos Rioses just in the next decade. Maybe more. ”(尽管前景光明，但这2.5平方英里的区域只是广大农业区的一小部分，甚至修复这么多土地也不是一件容易的事。然而，Rentner很乐观，“我们正在考虑在未来十年内再做10个Dos rise。也许更多。”)”可知，恢复Dos Rios的后果是加大了修复工作力度。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是非盈利组织River Partners如何将加州的Dos Rios这个曾经受洪水威胁的平原改造成与自然和谐相处、人们可以享受自然的州立公园的。所以，用B项“California’s Newest State Park: A Time Machine(加州最新的州立公园：时光机器)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. ___36___ Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. ___37___ Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ___38___ In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. ___39___ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. ___40___ While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. A 39. F 40.

(运用了动名词作主语) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mom drank stories with her morning coffee, a warm soup of words mixed with paragraphs, commas (逗号), and periods. They came in various flavors and were all appetizing. Whenever I attempted to read aloud like Mom, however, no words dared to climb out. My world was silent, without a voice to call my own. That silence invited jeers (嘲笑), tears, and many heartbreaks. I couldn't remember how many times I had switched schools and how many times I had run home crying, signing desperately to Mom, “I'm done with school.” My fingers were the voice I couldn't find and the only way I could cry out. Everything changed, however, when I met Ms. Park. It was a lovely day. Mom drove me to my new school and I felt calm until the car stopped in front of a large white building. The moment I got off, Ms. Park, my new English teacher, came up. “Nice to meet you,” she signed. How could she know sign language! I signed back while pretending to be distracted by the posters on the walls. “Interested in our writing contest?” she asked. I looked up, noticing the huge black-and-white words on one poster. “Try it! Just hand in a story to me next week,” Ms. Park smiled. The thought of entering fascinated me. It was my chance to speak without actually speaking. At home, I sat with a blank sheet of paper in front of me. Closing my eyes, I heard Mom's honey-like stories, so tasty that anyone who listened begged for more. She always told me that satisfying stories came from the heart. Then, I had it. What story could be closer to my heart than my own? So after a week of intense writing, I let my story flow through my pen and drip onto the paper and handed it to Ms. Park. Then, one day, when walking through a crowded hall, I saw Ms. Park signing from afar, “You've made the cut (入选)!” Her dancing fingers were too good to be true and I began waiting for the day of the upcoming awards ceremony. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 That day, however, I learnt all winners should read stories on stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A story began streaming from my fingers, along with Ms. Park's voice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That day, however, I learnt all winners should read stories on stage. Panic gripped me immediately. How could I, without a voice of my own, read aloud to an audience? My heart raced as I imagined the crowd waiting for words that wouldn’t come. Ms. Park noticed my distress and signed reassuringly, “We’ll find a way together.” Though fear lingered, her words comforted me somewhat. Together, we rehearsed tirelessly, combining my signs with her clear voice, until the story felt like a joint performance we were ready to deliver. A story began streaming from my fingers, along with Ms. Park’s voice. As her voice rang out, matched perfectly with my signs, I felt a surge of confidence. The audience’s eyes shifted between Ms. Park and me, understanding each word and gesture. For the first time, I felt heard without actually speaking. My silence had found a voice, shared through a partnership that transcended spoken language. When we finished, the applause roared through the hall, and my heart soared, knowing I had finally told my story. I felt the joy of being understood and accepted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章叙述一个失聪女孩在新老师Ms. Park的鼓励下，克服恐惧，通过书写和手语，最终勇敢地在众人面前分享自己的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，那天，我明白了所有的获奖者都应该在舞台上朗读故事。”可知，第一段可描写作者得知需要在舞台上朗读故事，女孩感到恐慌，但在Ms. Park的鼓励和帮助下，她开始相信合作的力量可以弥补自己无法说话的缺陷 ②由第二段首句内容“一个故事开始从我的手指间流出来，还有Park女士的声音。”可知，第二段可描写作者用双手“讲述”故事的过程中，通过手语和Ms. Park的声音为她提供的共同演绎，女孩发现自己也能“发声”。文章通过这样的方式，在故事末尾让她感受到被理解和接受的喜悦。 2.续写线索：感到恐慌——Ms. Park的帮助——感到自信——观众爆发出掌声——感到喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结合：combine /connect ②理解：understand/comprehend/ ③完成：finish /complete ④认可：accept/regard 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/pleasure ②自信：confidence/ assurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] My heart raced as I imagined the crowd waiting for words that wouldn’t come.
