B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了针对南非儿童体育教育的志愿者项目，包括志愿者的职责、要求、日程安排以及周末活动等细节，旨在吸引并招募符合条件的志愿者参与。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Volunteers help with this issue by providing guidance that enables students to practice and enjoy a range of sports.(志愿者们通过提供指导，帮助学生们参与并享受各类运动，从而解决这一问题)”可知，志愿者的职责是通过组织健康的活动，为学生提供指导，让他们能够参与并享受运动，也就是帮助学生通过健康活动成长。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Volunteer Requirements”部分中的“All volunteers are required to speak fluent English, have proper volunteer travel insurance and *provide a personal background check to IVHQ before starting off.(所有志愿者需能流利使用英语交流，购买合适的志愿者旅行保险，并在出发前向 IVHQ 提供个人背景调查资料)”可知，所有志愿者需要熟练掌握英语这门语言。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Weekends”部分中的“During the weekends, volunteers have free time to relax or take the opportunity to explore Rio de Janeiro and other areas of Brazil.(周末期间，志愿者有闲暇时间放松身心，或借此机会探索里约热内卢及巴西其他地区)”可知，在周末，志愿者有空闲时间放松，或者利用这个机会去探索里约热内卢以及巴西的其他地区，这意味着周六志愿者可以按照自己的日程安排活动。故选B。 B If you hear someone say that there’s “an elephant in the room”, there’s no need to be worried. This is an idiom that means there’s a big, clear problem or difficult situation that people don’t want to talk about. It’s almost as if there’s an elephant standing in the corner, but everyone is pretending it’s not there! So you might understand why “The elephant in the room” is the name Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga gave to his new project. For 20 days during June and July, 2024, Hovinga sat in a museum in the Dutch city of Arnhem and used a tool to make holes in the 7,700-page United Nations report on climate change. This was an artistic protest. He wanted to draw attention to climate change and to show that the world’s governments aren’t doing enough to try to save the planet. “Climate change is the elephant in the room”, Hovinga was saying through his art— the big, clear problem that we’ re not doing enough about. He had printed the pages of the report on different colored paper so that when he made the holes, there were large piles of colorful circles next to the table where he sat. People were able to watch Hovinga making his holes between June 22 and July 14, and see those piles getting bigger. Some visitors were touched as they watched, the museum said. Each day Hovinga sat for six hours making holes, only drinking water and taking short breaks to use the bathroom. He said he began taking painkillers after two days because of the pain in his back, neck, and arms. The project ended on July 25 when Hovinga returned to take the paper piles away. But he has more hole-making projects planned for the future. 4. Why is the idiom mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the name of a project. B. To describe an interesting scene. C. To explain a common language usage. D. To show a special animal painted by an artist. 5. What is Hovinga’s purpose of his behavior? A. To promote his artworks. B. To help protect the earth. C. To advertise a new art style. D. To call for action to care for elephants. 6. Which of the following can best describe Hovinga? A. Odd but flexible. B. Humorous and energetic. C. Picky but productive. D. Creative and responsible. 7. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Hovinga had great fun doing his work. B. Hovinga wants more people to join him. C. Hovinga will continue with similar projects. D. Hovinga broke off the project because of pain. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了荷兰艺术家Johannes-Harm Hovinga通过一项特殊的艺术行为——在联合国气候变化报告的每一页上打孔，来抗议全球气候变化问题，并指出这是一个被忽视但明显存在的重大问题（即“an elephant in the room”）。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you hear someone say that there’s “an elephant in the room”, there’s no need to be worried. This is an idiom that means there’s a big, clear problem or difficult situation that people don’t want to talk about. It’s almost as if there’s an elephant standing in the corner, but everyone is pretending it’s not there! So you might understand why “The elephant in the room” is the name Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga gave to his new project.(如果你听到有人说“房间里有头大象”，不必担心。这是一个习语，意思是存在一个明显的大问题或棘手的局面，而人们却不愿提及。就好像真有一头大象站在角落里，但每个人都假装它不存在！这下你或许就能明白，荷兰艺术家Johannes - Harm Hovinga为何将他的新项目命名为 “房间里的大象” 了。)”可知，文章第一段先解释了“an elephant in the room”这个习语的含义，接着说“So you might understand why “The elephant in the room” is the name Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga gave to his new project.”，由此可知提到这个习语是为了引出荷兰艺术家新项目的名字。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This was an artistic protest. He wanted to draw attention to climate change and to show that the world’s governments aren’t doing enough to try to save the planet.(这是一场艺术抗议活动。他想引起人们对气候变化的关注，并表明世界各国政府在拯救地球方面做得还远远不够。)”可知，Hovinga这么做是想引起人们对气候变化的关注，表明各国政府在拯救地球方面做得不够，其目的是呼吁人们采取行动保护地球。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For 20 days during June and July, 2024, Hovinga sat in a museum in the Dutch city of Arnhem and used a tool to make holes in the 7,700-page United Nations report on climate change.(2024年6月至7月间的20天里，Hovinga坐在荷兰阿纳姆市的一家博物馆内，用一种工具在长达7700页的联合国气候变化报告上打孔。)”可知，Hovinga通过在联合国气候变化报告上打孔这一独特的艺术形式来表达对气候变化问题的关注，这种方式新颖且富有创意，展现了他的创造力；再根据文章第三段“This was an artistic protest. He wanted to draw attention to climate change and to show that the world’s governments aren’t doing enough to try to save the planet.(这是一场艺术抗议活动。他想引起人们对气候变化的关注，并表明世界各国政府在拯救地球方面做得还远远不够。)”可知，Hovinga意识到气候变化这一全球性问题，并通过自己的行动，试图引起人们对该问题的重视，促使各国政府采取更多行动来拯救地球，体现了他对地球环境的责任感。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But he has more hole-making projects planned for the future.(但他计划在未来开展更多打孔项目。)”可知，Hovinga计划在未来开展更多类似打孔的项目。故选C。 C Researchers in the US are developing an app called FoodImage to handle the problem of food waste. This app is based on a previous app named SmartIntake, which measures food consumption by comparing photos taken before and after meals. According to Corby Martin, a clinical psychologist at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, SmartIntake allows users to take photos of their plates before and after eating. These images are then sent to servers where researchers analyze the food for its calorie and nutrient content. Martin believes this photo comparison method can be adapted to measure how much food is left uneaten and ends up as waste. “We fully expect that SmartIntake can measure food waste, but it needs to be improved to capture (捕捉) waste wherever it occurs,” says Martin. The goal is to measure not just leftovers but also waste produced during meal preparation and whether leftovers are ever consumed. This is important because, according to Brian Roe, a behavioral economist at Ohio State University, Americans waste about a quarter of the food they buy annually (about 40 million tons, which also means 1.5 million tons of food was thrown away every day), costing each family between $1,365 and $2,275. FoodImage aims to provide researchers with exact data on when and how food waste occurs. For instance, if a household buys food in large amounts because it’s on sale, FoodImage could help determine if this leads to increased waste, advice against such buying will be possibly given. Efforts to reduce food waste are gaining attention globally. The US Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency have set a goal to halve America’ s food waste by 2030. The Food I mage project is currently at the research stage, which the researchers hope to complete by the end of the year. Martin and Roe think it will take 9 to 12 months to develop the final product once funding is solved. “If we can conduct studies that really point out how the different approaches affect household behaviors, then we can help prioritize which of these will deliver the biggest impact,” says Roe. “But you need good household-level data to accomplish that.” 8. What do the figures in paragraph 3 indicate? A. The seriousness of food waste in the US. B. The high living costs of American families. C How difficult it is for people to reduce food waste. D. How useful SmartIntake is in measuring food waste. 9. What is the main function of the FoodImage app? A. Raising people’s awareness of healthy eating. B. Teaching people how to cook with less food waste. C. Offering researchers detailed information on food waste. D. Helping researchers to determine the food quality correctly. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The FoodImage project is well received by the public. B. Information from the household is important to the project. C. The research stage of the project will take another 9 months. D. Lack of money is the main problem for the project’s development. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Global Efforts to Reduce Food Waste B. The Role of Hi-Tech in Managing Food Waste C. FoodImage: A New Approach to Food Waste D. SmartIntake: A Good Measure of Food Consumption 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国研究人员正在开发的一款名为FoodImag的应用程序，该应用程序旨在解决食物浪费问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This is important because, according to Brian Roe, a behavioral economist at Ohio State University, Americans waste about a quarter of the food they buy annually (about 40 million tons, which also means 1.5 million tons of food was thrown away every day), costing each family between $1,365and $2,275.(这一点很重要，因为据俄亥俄州立大学的行为经济学家Brian Roe称，美国人每年大约浪费他们购买食物的四分之一（约4000万吨，这也意味着每天有150万吨食物被扔掉），每个家庭为此花费在1365美元到2275美元之间)”可知，这些数据表明美国人每年浪费大量食物，每个家庭为此付出高额成本，这充分体现了美国食物浪费问题的严重性。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“FoodImage aims to provide researchers with exact data on when and how food waste occurs.(“FoodImage”旨在为研究人员提供关于食物浪费何时发生以及如何发生的确切数据)”可知，FoodImage这款应用程序的主要目的是为研究人员提供有关食物浪费何时发生以及如何发生的确切数据，也就是为研究人员提供关于食物浪费的详细信息。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The FoodImage project is currently at the research stage, which the researchers hope to complete by the end of the year. Martin and Roe think it will take 9 to 12 months to develop the final product once funding is solved. “If we can conduct studies that really point out how the different approaches affect household behaviors, then we can help prioritize which of these will deliver the biggest impact,” says Roe. “But you need good household-level data to accomplish that.”(“FoodImage”项目目前处于研究阶段，研究人员希望在今年年底完成该阶段。Martin和Roe认为，一旦资金问题解决，开发出最终产品大约需要 9到12个月。Roe说：“如果我们能够开展研究，真正指出不同的方法如何影响家庭行为，那么我们就可以帮助确定哪些方法会产生最大的影响。但要做到这一点，你需要良好的家庭层面的数据。”)”可知，需要通过研究指出不同方法对家庭行为的影响并确定哪种方法影响最大，这表明来自家庭层面的信息对于该项目很重要。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出研究人员正在开发名为FoodImage的应用程序来解决食物浪费问题，接着介绍了其基于的SmartIntake应用，阐述了FoodImage旨在为研究人员提供食物浪费的确切数据，以及项目目前所处阶段等内容，全文围绕FoodImage 这一解决食物浪费的新途径展开。选项C“FoodImage: A New Approach to Food Waste”符合文章主旨。故选C。 D Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. Bate put the drop in the number of books read by students down to shorter attention spans (持续时间), which he linked to the use of smartphones. “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the attrition of attention span due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and soon,” he said. “It all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of the GCSE and the tendency to recommend shorter works.” Bate suggested that, in contrast to students from privately educated backgrounds, those from state schools in Britain usually haven’t been introduced to a wide variety of lengthy books and haven’t formed the habit of reading them either. He said it was because those students come from disadvantaged schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there. Fortunately, state-funded charter schools in the US offer classical education, with more flexibility in curriculum (课程). Bate’s son, a recent graduate from a charter high school called Great Hearts, studied works like The Iliad and Crime and Punishment. The school even provided bagels for studying Hegel (a famous writer). “I couldn’t understand Hegel when I was a graduate student. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope,” Bate said that the long-term impact of not habitually reading long texts was troubling for the future of literary culture. “If you haven’ t got readers, what are writers going to do? The intensive, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health; it’ s very good for developing skills for concentration and critical thinking — and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and for individuals.” 12. What does the underlined word “attrition” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Expansion. B. Decrease. C. Destruction. D. Progress. 13. What can we know about the students from state schools in Britain? A. They have limited access to long books. B. They prioritize crowd control over reading. C. They are likely to read more classical books. D. They enjoy advantage over those from private schools. 14. What is Bate’s attitude towards the future of literature in the US? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Uncaring. D. Optimistic. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A There is a tendency that students read fewer books. B. It is necessary for students to read classic books. C. No exposure to books is bad for students’ mental health. D. Reading short works can improve students’ concentration. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕英国牛津大学英语文学教授Jonathan Bate对学生阅读习惯的变化所表达的担忧和观点展开。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.(牛津大学英国文学教授Jonathan Bate爵士警告称，文学专业的学生曾经每周能读完三本书，但如今，他们三周读完一本都很吃力。)”可知，文章第一段提到学生现在读书数量大幅下降；再根据划线单词所在句“Bate put the drop in the number of books read by students down to shorter attention spans(持续时间), which he linked to the use of smartphones.( Bate将学生读书数量的减少归因于注意力持续时间……，他认为这与智能手机的使用有关。)”可知，Bate认为这种下降与智能手机使用有关。由此可推测，这里是说智能手机导致注意力持续时间“减少”，所以学生读书数量才下降。选项B“decrease”意为“减少”，与此相符。故选B。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Bate suggested that, in contrast to students from privately educated backgrounds, those from state schools in Britain usually haven’t been introduced to a wide variety of lengthy books and haven’t formed the habit of reading them either.( Bate指出，与接受私立教育背景的学生相比，英国公立学校的学生通常没有接触过种类繁多的长篇书籍，也没有养成阅读长篇书籍的习惯。)”可知，英国公立学校的学生通常没有接触过很多长篇书籍，即他们接触长篇书籍的机会有限。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Bate’s son, a recent graduate from a charter high school called Great Hearts, studied works like The Iliad and Crime and Punishment. The school even provided bagels for studying Hegel (a famous writer). “I couldn’t understand Hegel when I was a graduate student. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope,” Bate said that the long-term impact of not habitually reading long texts was troubling for the future of literary culture.( Bate的儿子刚从一所名为“伟大心灵”的特许高中毕业，他学习过《伊利亚特》和《罪与罚》等作品。学校甚至还为学生研读黑格尔（一位著名作家）的作品提供百吉饼。“我读研究生的时候都读不懂黑格尔。我很惊讶17岁的美国孩子竟然在读黑格尔。所以还是有一些希望的。”Bate表示，不经常阅读长篇文本，从长远来看，会给文学文化的未来带来困扰。)”可知，文章第四段提到美国公立特许学校提供古典教育，Bate的儿子所在学校让学生研读像《伊利亚特》《罪与罚》以及黑格尔的作品 。并且Bate说“So there is some hope”，由此可以推断出他对美国文学的未来持乐观态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇点明文学专业学生读书数量从过去每周三本到如今三周一本都困难，接着分析了原因，如智能手机导致注意力时长缩短、公立学校学生接触长篇书籍机会少等，还通过美国特许学校的例子说明仍有希望，整体围绕学生读书数量减少这一趋势展开。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people spend a lot of their lives on their feet, just getting from here to there. Though it may seem less than self-evident, it turns out that not wearing shoes when walking or running could be beneficial for foot-strength, balance, and the awareness of body motion. ____16____. However, the ability to use one’s feet properly can have an effect on the whole body. And that’s where walking barefoot comes in. According to a 2021 study published in Nature, people who walked barefoot for six months increased their foot strength by over 57 percent. ____17____. Some other benefits of walking barefoot include increasing body awareness, a better gait (步态) which can help with the mechanics of your knees and core, and less pain in your lower back due to stronger leg muscles. “Our feet are actually really strong and can deal with the demands we place on them. ____18____,” Rina Harris, a foot expert, said. “And the majority of modern shoes don’t allow their wearers to use all the benefits their feet provide. The cushioned insoles (缓冲鞋垫) make it hard to get sensory input through the feet, and the ends of most shoes squish (挤压) the toes together, making it difficult to engage all the feet muscles.” However, it’s important not to just go diving feet first into barefoot walking. You must have the appropriate amount of foot strength first before taking on barefoot walking or running as a lifestyle. Also, it’ s important to begin walking barefoot inside for fifteen to twenty minutes, increasing the time as you get stronger. ____19____. It’s also a good idea to practice some simple balance exercises as well. Once you have gained the necessary strength and experience, you can try your hand at something more intensive, like barefoot running. ____20____. A. However, we don’t use them as nature intended B. It also helped them with their balance and reduced falls C. Whether in the sand or on grass, a mindful walk works wonders D. So next time you get up on your feet, consider leaving your shoes behind E. Foot strength isn’t something people tend to spend much time thinking about F. Shoes strongly limit the movement of specific areas of the feet, especially the toes G. Once you move outside, practice on safe surfaces such as grass or a sandy beach 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了赤足行走的好处并就如何进行赤足行走给出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Though it may seem less than self-evident, it turns out that not wearing shoes when walking or running could be beneficial for foot-strength, balance, and the awareness of body motion.(尽管这一点可能并非显而易见，但事实证明，走路或跑步时不穿鞋，可能对增强脚部力量、提升平衡能力以及增强身体运动感知都有益处)”可知，上文提到不穿鞋走路有益。而空后则以“However”转折，表明脚力对全身有影响。选项E“Foot strength isn’t something people tend to spend much time thinking about (人们往往不会花太多时间去考虑脚部力量)”指出人们通常不太花时间考虑脚力，与后文形成转折，说明虽然人们不常关注脚力，但它对全身有影响。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“According to a 2021 study published in Nature, people who walked barefoot for six months increased their foot strength by over 57 percent.(根据2021年发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究，连续六个月赤足行走的人，脚部力量增强了超过57%。)”可知，上文提到了赤足行走的好处，赤足行走六个月能增加脚部力量。选项B“It also helped them with their balance and reduced falls (这还有助于他们保持平衡并减少摔倒)”进一步说明它还能帮助平衡和减少摔倒，也是赤足行走的好处，承接前文。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Our feet are actually really strong and can deal with the demands we place on them.(我们的双脚实际上非常强壮，能够应对我们施加给它们的各种要求。)”可知，上文提出脚其实很强壮能应对需求。选项A“However, we don’t use them as nature intended (然而，我们并没有按照大自然赋予它们的方式去使用它们)”指出我们没有按照自然的意图使用脚，从而引出下文“And the majority of modern shoes don’t allow their wearers to use all the benefits their feet provide.(而且大多数现代鞋子无法让穿着者充分发挥双脚的功能)”，起承上启下的作用。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Also, it’ s important to begin walking barefoot inside for fifteen to twenty minutes, increasing the time as you get stronger.(同样重要的是，要先在室内进行15到20分钟的赤足行走，随着力量的增强逐渐增加时间)”可知，上文提到开始赤足行走要先在室内走15 - 20分钟，随着变强增加时间。选项G“Once you move outside, practice on safe surfaces such as grass or a sandy beach (一旦你转移到室外，要在诸如草地或沙滩等安全的地面上进行练习。)”延续上文内容，指出一旦到室外，要在如草地或沙滩这样的安全表面练习，与前文在室内行走衔接。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“It’s also a good idea to practice some simple balance exercises as well. Once you have gained the necessary strength and experience, you can try your hand at something more intensive, like barefoot running.(同时，练习一些简单的平衡练习也是个不错的主意。一旦你获得了必要的力量和经验，你就可以尝试更剧烈一些的活动，比如赤足跑步)”可知，上文提到了赤足行走的好处及注意事项，最后总结。选项D“So next time you get up on your feet, consider leaving your shoes behind (所以，下次当你起身要走的时候，不妨考虑把鞋子留在一边)”建议下次起身时考虑不穿鞋，符合文章总结性的结尾。故选D。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Robert Irwin was born on 1 December, 2003 in Queensland to his adoring parents. ____21____, his father, Steve Irwin, the famous “Crocodile Hunter”, died in an accident in 2006.

I had such an experience years ago. Progressing into the senior high school, I laid my eyes on the modern campus, the breathtaking scenery and energetic peers (同龄人). The school was undoubtedly newer and bigger than the one I had attended one year before. Dealing with interpersonal relationships was always a headache for me. The night before, I had made up my mind that I would relate well with my classmates as long as I became friends with those cool and popular guys. To make myself stand out, I replaced my worn schoolbag with a brand new one, with an image of a cute Brown Bear on it. Lost in the joy of starting my new journey, I went upstairs to my classroom, only to find the walls of the hall were decorated with mathematical formulas. I stood in front of the wall, puzzled. Then, a girl with a plain appearance came up and asked, “The walls are intended to create a study atmosphere where students can memorize formulas as easily as possible. I’m Shirley. What’s your name?” Even though she seemed warm-hearted and friendly, she was definitely not the kind of person I desired to be associated with. In response, I decided to tell her my name anyway. When we reached my classroom, Shirley said, “I hope you lead a fulfilling life here. I’m in Class 348, next to yours.” At that moment, I even had the thought that I wouldn’t meet Shirley any more. Then, I stepped into the classroom, expecting to find my expected “friends”. A scene caught my attention — a handsome boy wearing Nike clothes was surrounded by dozens of boys and girls. I believed this guy was the most welcomed, so I walked to him and began to introduce myself. I said, “Hello. I’m new here. My name is Eason.” Without looking into my eyes, he simply said, “Sam.” I continued, “Could you tell me how to apply for a student card?” “No, I am busy now,” he replied coldly. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood there, not knowing what to do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What Shirley did for me made me awkward and ashamed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I stood there, not knowing what to do next. Suddenly, I felt so embarrassed and frustrated. I had expected a warm welcome and friendly interaction, but instead, I was met with coldness and indifference. My heart sank, and I felt a sense of isolation and confusion. Just as I was at a complete loss, desperately trying to figure out my next move, I heard a familiar voice. It was Shirley. She came up to me with a gentle smile and kind eyes, saying, “I saw what happened. Let me help you with the student card.” What Shirley did for me made me awkward and ashamed. I had judged her based on her appearance and ignored her kindness earlier. Now she was the one who came to my rescue without any hesitation or complaint. I realized how shallow and wrong I had been. My face flushed with embarrassment as I reflected on my behavior. From that moment on, I decided to change my attitude and not judge people by their appearance. I thanked Shirley sincerely from the bottom of my heart and promised to be a better person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者刚进入高中，在高中新环境中因选择结交朋友而经历的教训，展现了作者对于人际关系和判断他人的态度转变过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我站在那里，不知道该做什么。”以及第二段首句内容“Shirley对我的帮助让我感到尴尬和羞愧。”可知，第一段可描写就在作者感到无助的时候，Shirley走上前主动帮助了作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“Shirley对我的帮助让我感到尴尬和羞愧。”可知，第二段可描写作者这才明白自己以貌取人是多么肤浅。 2.续写线索：作者不知道该做什么——作者非常沮丧——Shirley帮助作者办理学生卡——作者感觉感激和羞愧——作者决定不再以貌取人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尽力做：try to do/make an effort to do ②忽视：ignore/neglect ③决定：decide/make a decision 情绪类 ①沮丧的：frustrated/depressed ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just as I was at a complete loss, desperately trying to figure out my next move, I heard a familiar voice.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Now, she was the one who came to my rescue without any hesitation or complaint.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025 学年上学期期末高二年级教学质量监测 英 语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

This is an idiom that means there’s a big, clear problem or difficult situation that people don’t want to talk about. It’s almost as if there’s an elephant standing in the corner, but everyone is pretending it’s not there! So you might understand why “The elephant in the room” is the name Dutch artist Johannes-Harm Hovinga gave to his new project. For 20 days during June and July, 2024, Hovinga sat in a museum in the Dutch city of Arnhem and used a tool to make holes in the 7,700-page United Nations report on climate change. This was an artistic protest. He wanted to draw attention to climate change and to show that the world’s governments aren’t doing enough to try to save the planet. “Climate change is the elephant in the room”, Hovinga was saying through his art— the big, clear problem that we’ re not doing enough about. He had printed the pages of the report on different colored paper so that when he made the holes, there were large piles of colorful circles next to the table where he sat. People were able to watch Hovinga making his holes between June 22 and July 14, and see those piles getting bigger. Some visitors were touched as they watched, the museum said. Each day, Hovinga sat for six hours making holes, only drinking water and taking short breaks to use the bathroom. He said he began taking painkillers after two days because of the pain in his back, neck, and arms. The project ended on July 25 when Hovinga returned to take the paper piles away. But he has more hole-making projects planned for the future. 4. Why is the idiom mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the name of a project. B. To describe an interesting scene. C. To explain a common language usage. D. To show a special animal painted by an artist. 5. What is Hovinga’s purpose of his behavior? A. To promote his artworks. B. To help protect the earth. C. To advertise a new art style. D. To call for action to care for elephants. 6 Which of the following can best describe Hovinga? A. Odd but flexible. B. Humorous and energetic. C. Picky but productive. D. Creative and responsible. 7. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Hovinga had great fun doing his work. B. Hovinga wants more people to join him. C. Hovinga will continue with similar projects. D. Hovinga broke off the project because of pain. C Researchers in the US are developing an app called FoodImage to handle the problem of food waste. This app is based on a previous app named SmartIntake, which measures food consumption by comparing photos taken before and after meals. According to Corby Martin, a clinical psychologist at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, SmartIntake allows users to take photos of their plates before and after eating. These images are then sent to servers where researchers analyze the food for its calorie and nutrient content. Martin believes this photo comparison method can be adapted to measure how much food is left uneaten and ends up as waste. “We fully expect that SmartIntake can measure food waste, but it needs to be improved to capture (捕捉) waste wherever it occurs,” says Martin. The goal is to measure not just leftovers but also waste produced during meal preparation and whether leftovers are ever consumed. This is important because, according to Brian Roe, a behavioral economist at Ohio State University, Americans waste about a quarter of the food they buy annually (about 40 million tons, which also means 1.5 million tons of food was thrown away every day), costing each family between $1,365 and $2,275. FoodImage aims to provide researchers with exact data on when and how food waste occurs. For instance, if a household buys food in large amounts because it’s on sale, FoodImage could help determine if this leads to increased waste, advice against such buying will be possibly given. Efforts to reduce food waste are gaining attention globally. The US Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency have set a goal to halve America’ s food waste by 2030. The Food I mage project is currently at the research stage, which the researchers hope to complete by the end of the year. Martin and Roe think it will take 9 to 12 months to develop the final product once funding is solved. “If we can conduct studies that really point out how the different approaches affect household behaviors, then we can help prioritize which of these will deliver the biggest impact,” says Roe. “But you need good household-level data to accomplish that.” 8. What do the figures in paragraph 3 indicate? A. The seriousness of food waste in the US. B. The high living costs of American families. C. How difficult it is for people to reduce food waste. D. How useful SmartIntake is in measuring food waste. 9. What is the main function of the FoodImage app? A. Raising people’s awareness of healthy eating. B. Teaching people how to cook with less food waste. C. Offering researchers detailed information on food waste. D. Helping researchers to determine the food quality correctly. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The FoodImage project is well received by the public. B. Information from the household is important to the project. C. The research stage of the project will take another 9 months. D. Lack of money is the main problem for the project’s development. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Global Efforts to Reduce Food Waste B. The Role of Hi-Tech in Managing Food Waste C. FoodImage: A New Approach to Food Waste D. SmartIntake: A Good Measure of Food Consumption D Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned. Bate put the drop in the number of books read by students down to shorter attention spans (持续时间), which he linked to the use of smartphones. “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the attrition of attention span due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and soon,” he said. “It all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of the GCSE and the tendency to recommend shorter works.” Bate suggested that, in contrast to students from privately educated backgrounds, those from state schools in Britain usually haven’t been introduced to a wide variety of lengthy books and haven’t formed the habit of reading them either. He said it was because those students come from disadvantaged schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there. Fortunately, state-funded charter schools in the US offer classical education, with more flexibility in curriculum (课程). Bate’s son, a recent graduate from a charter high school called Great Hearts, studied works like The Iliad and Crime and Punishment. The school even provided bagels for studying Hegel (a famous writer). “I couldn’t understand Hegel when I was a graduate student. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope,” Bate said that the long-term impact of not habitually reading long texts was troubling for the future of literary culture. “If you haven’ t got readers, what are writers going to do? The intensive, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health; it’ s very good for developing skills for concentration and critical thinking — and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and for individuals.” 12. What does the underlined word “attrition” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Expansion. B. Decrease. C. Destruction. D. Progress. 13. What can we know about the students from state schools in Britain? A. They have limited access to long books. B. They prioritize crowd control over reading. C. They are likely to read more classical books. D. They enjoy advantage over those from private schools. 14. What is Bate’s attitude towards the future of literature in the US? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Uncaring. D. Optimistic. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. There is a tendency that students read fewer books. B. It is necessary for students to read classic books. C. No exposure to books is bad for students’ mental health. D. Reading short works can improve students’ concentration. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people spend a lot of their lives on their feet, just getting from here to there. Though it may seem less than self-evident, it turns out that not wearing shoes when walking or running could be beneficial for foot-strength, balance, and the awareness of body motion. ____16____. However, the ability to use one’s feet properly can have an effect on the whole body. And that’s where walking barefoot comes in. According to a 2021 study published in Nature, people who walked barefoot for six months increased their foot strength by over 57 percent. ____17____. Some other benefits of walking barefoot include increasing body awareness, a better gait (步态) which can help with the mechanics of your knees and core, and less pain in your lower back due to stronger leg muscles. “Our feet are actually really strong and can deal with the demands we place on them. ____18____,” Rina Harris, a foot expert, said. “And the majority of modern shoes don’t allow their wearers to use all the benefits their feet provide. The cushioned insoles (缓冲鞋垫) make it hard to get sensory input through the feet, and the ends of most shoes squish (挤压) the toes together, making it difficult to engage all the feet muscles.” However, it’s important not to just go diving feet first into barefoot walking. You must have the appropriate amount of foot strength first before taking on barefoot walking or running as a lifestyle. Also, it’ s important to begin walking barefoot inside for fifteen to twenty minutes, increasing the time as you get stronger. ____19____. It’s also a good idea to practice some simple balance exercises as well. Once you have gained the necessary strength and experience, you can try your hand at something more intensive, like barefoot running. ____20____. A. However, we don’t use them as nature intended B. It also helped them with their balance and reduced falls C. Whether in the sand or on grass, a mindful walk works wonders D. So next time you get up on your feet, consider leaving your shoes behind E. Foot strength isn’t something people tend to spend much time thinking about F. Shoes strongly limit the movement of specific areas of the feet, especially the toes G. Once you move outside, practice on safe surfaces such as grass or a sandy beach 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Robert Irwin was born on 1 December, 2003 in Queensland to his adoring parents. ____21____, his father, Steve Irwin, the famous “Crocodile Hunter”, died in an accident in 2006.

Progressing into the senior high school, I laid my eyes on the modern campus, the breathtaking scenery and energetic peers (同龄人). The school was undoubtedly newer and bigger than the one I had attended one year before. Dealing with interpersonal relationships was always a headache for me. The night before, I had made up my mind that I would relate well with my classmates as long as I became friends with those cool and popular guys. To make myself stand out, I replaced my worn schoolbag with a brand new one, with an image of a cute Brown Bear on it. Lost in the joy of starting my new journey, I went upstairs to my classroom, only to find the walls of the hall were decorated with mathematical formulas. I stood in front of the wall, puzzled. Then, a girl with a plain appearance came up and asked, “The walls are intended to create a study atmosphere where students can memorize formulas as easily as possible. I’m Shirley. What’s your name?” Even though she seemed warm-hearted and friendly, she was definitely not the kind of person I desired to be associated with. In response, I decided to tell her my name anyway. When we reached my classroom, Shirley said, “I hope you lead a fulfilling life here. I’m in Class 348, next to yours.” At that moment, I even had the thought that I wouldn’t meet Shirley any more. Then, I stepped into the classroom, expecting to find my expected “friends”. A scene caught my attention — a handsome boy wearing Nike clothes was surrounded by dozens of boys and girls. I believed this guy was the most welcomed, so I walked to him and began to introduce myself. I said, “Hello. I’m new here. My name is Eason.” Without looking into my eyes, he simply said, “Sam.” I continued, “Could you tell me how to apply for a student card?” “No, I am busy now,” he replied coldly. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood there, not knowing what to do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What Shirley did for me made me awkward and ashamed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
