Here are some interesting customs in different places. New York, U. S. A Most of New Yorkers spend the final seconds of each calendar year watching a nearly 12,000-pound geodesic sphere (Times Square Ball) descend over Times Square in New York City. Close to 60,000 spectators gather to see the ball drop in person, but if being one of them is on your bucket list, be forewarned: There are no bathrooms, and to get a good view, you’ll likely need to get your spot (and start holding it) around 3 p. m. Scotland, U. K The Scots stretch New Year’s Eve into a three-day celebration starting with a parade through Edinburgh on Dec. 30, followed by a housecleaning. Then, during “first footing”, friends and family visit each other after midnight to become the first to set foot in each other’s homes. For good luck, the first visitor should be a tall, dark-haired male (a contrast to the blond Viking invaders of Scotland’s past), with shortbread, whisky and a lump of coal. Greece Greeks mash pomegranates (石榴), which symbolize renewal in their culture, for New Year’s. Another tradition is waking up children on Jan. 1 by tapping them on the head with onion, which represents growth and good health. Brazil Brazilians run into the ocean at midnight and jump over seven waves, each symbolizing a different wish for the year ahead. Water temperatures at that time of year average a balmy 75 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas those who brave the “polar bear plunge” on New Year’s Day in the U. S. and Canada are in for a much chillier dip. But their hearts are in the right place: It raises money for charity. 1. In order to attend the ceremony in New York Times Square, you need to ________? A. grab your spot in person about 9 hours earlier. B. buy a ticket on the spot. C. reserve your spot in advance. D. book a bathroom the day before 2. Why do Scots hope it would be better if the first visitor is a dark-haired male? A. Scots like tall male Chinese. B. Dark color means good luck in Scotland. C. The invasion from blond Vikings in the past leads to this custom. D. A dark-haired man will bring them shortbread, whisky and coal as presents. 3. As for the New Year custom in Greece and Brazil, which one is correct? A. Greeks use pomegranates to wish they will have more children. B. Greeks think onion will not grow unless it touches children’s head. C. Brazillians run into the ocean at midnight to raise money. D. Brazillians may have 7 different wishes by jumping over 7 waves. B In August 2020, a doctor told me that I have an anxiety disorder. But she didn’t seem too worried, so neither was I. I left with a sense of relief at having the great mystery of my mental health revealed, without the need for medication. For the next nine months, I went on with my job and in a relationship that left me an anxious, isolated mess. I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t eating. The anxiety that ruled my life meant I couldn’t switch off. I felt alone in my misery. By May 2021, my family decided it was time to take me away from London for a week of fishing in northeast Scotland. This meant days of tangled lines, grey skies, wind, rain and mud. For years, they had dragged me along on fishing trips until I was old enough to resist. Fishing always felt like failure to me because I just couldn’t do it. I wanted to be inside, reading a book, curled up on the sofa, rather than out in the cold and wet. But this time was different. I found myself immersed in the gentle rhythm of casting the line and watching the fly move through the forest to different pools, a cup of coffee here and there, breaking for lunch with my family to enjoy the morning and being outside, willing the days to last longer. On that final morning, after a week of fishing, I finally caught my first salmon(鲑鱼). I found myself close to tears. Catching that fish made me realize I had control over the way I felt. I have something now that gives me hope when life is at its most unbearable. I still go fishing to this day. I also read, write, run, cook, swim, talk and laugh--but fishing is the thing that absorbs me most completely. In searching for silence, fishing is my complete companion. 4. Why did the author continue to work after he was told he had anxiety disorder? A. The doctor’s words made him relieved. B. He felt he had a lot of work to do. C. The author was used to staying up late. D. The author didn’t take his illness seriously. 5. Why didn’t the author resist his family dragging him to go fishing this time? A. He couldn’t switch off his work. B. He was trapped in his illness. C. He hoped to go fishing with his family. D. He didn’t think that fishing was a failure. 6 Why did the author hope the days would last longer? A. He believed that he would catch his first fish. B. The slow pace of life in Scotland healed his anxiety. C. He began to appreciate the peaceful scenery in Scotland. D. He realized the importance of company from his family. 7. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs? A. He needs some silence and stillness in his life. B. A person needs motivation from a success. C. Only fishing can attract him completely. D. He enjoys being silent and lonely. C Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms. Brain rot has its own vocabulary that includes internet slang like “skibidi toilet” and viral video, such as an old clip of Barron Trump saying “I like my suitcase!” mixed with synth-heavy club music. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who grew up with smartphones and social media, are the primary audience for this content and have popularized the term. Emilie Owens, a doctoral researcher in the University of Oslo, surveyed some high school students about their online consumption habits and attitudes. She found that the teenagers described ridiculous videos on TikTok as “brain rot.” “It’s not like they were discussing a serious condition,” Owens said. “They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.” It’s almost a mark of pride, she said, certifying you as a card-carrying member of a certain generation, or at least clued into their inside joke. “Each generation use their own version of brain rot to do the same thing,” Owens said. “If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.” The phrase brain rot can cause concern and panic about young people and their screen time. But social media users say it implies a certain degree of self-awareness — knowing that you have consumed so much online content that you can understand even the most proper references and jokes. “I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ” 8. What can you learn about “brain rot” according to the first two paragraphs? A. Brain rot has its own textbooks. B. Brain rot originates from Baron Trump. C. Brain rot offers people club music. D. Brain rot is favored by most young people. 9. What did Emilie Owens find in her survey? A. It’s a manner for young people to express something they like online. B. Some high students are addicted to the internet. C. Brain rot has caused some damage to their intelligence. D. Brain rot is a special mark for some youth organizations. 10. Why would some people watch TV series “Friends” and “Desperate Wives” again? A. They are the most popular American TV series around the world. B. Watching American TV series has become a fashion. C. They can get some comfort and relief from such TV series. D. Such TV are better than video games. 11. From Krissy Ryan’s words, what can you infer? A. Brain rot is harmful to young people’s intelligence. B. Brain rot is misunderstood by most of the public. C. Most young people don’t realise brain rot just offers some fun. D. Most contents of brain rot are silent videos. D Are you obsessed with staple foods like rice, noodles and bread? If you give positive answer, you may have a “carb brain (碳水脑袋)”. However, have you wondered where this obsession comes from? The answer might be embedded in our DNA, according to a study published in the journal Science. Researchers from the Jackson Laboratory and the University at Baffalo in the US analysed the genomes (基因组) of 68 ancient humans, focusing on a gene called AMY1. It is responsible for producing an enzyme (酶) called amylase, which starts breaking down complex carbohydrates (碳水化合物), such as starch (淀粉), in our mouths. Amylase is crucial for digesting staple foods. Humans today have multiple copies of the AMY1 gene, and the research team discovered that hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者), who lived before the advent of agriculture 45,000 years ago, had an average of four to eight copies of the AMYI gene. This suggests that human ancestors had a preference for starchy foods even long before they began farming. The presence of multiple copies of the AMY1 gene in these three human species indicates that this trait was inherited from a common ancestor. This means that the shared trait existed as far back as 800, 000 years ago, before the different species evolved separately, according to Kwondo Kim, one of the lead authors of this study. What’s more, the analysis revealed that the number of AMY1 gene copies a person carries has significantly increased over the past 4, 000 years. This rise was likely driven by natural selection as humans adapted to starch-rich diets following the shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture. The study provided strong proof of how humans developed the ability to convert hard-to-digest starches into easily accessible sugars, Professor Taylor Hermes at the University of Arkansas in the US told CNN. Hermes also noted that, more importantly, the new research supported an emerging theory that carbohydrates, rather than proteins, were the key source of energy that fueled the increase in human brain size over time. 12. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. If you don’t have the enzyme amylase, you cannot eat staple foods. B. The gene AMY1 can only be found in Asian people. C. People who like staple foods are usually smarter. D. Whether people prefer carb foods is determined when they are born. 13. What does the study on ancient humans’ genes indicate? A. All human beings have a common ancestor. B. Farming originated from hunting and gathering. C. AMYI gene existed long before people engaged in agriculture. D. Human species has an 800,000 years history of consuming staple foods. 14. What does the underlined word “convert” in paragraph 6 mean? A. process B. change C. produce D. break 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The origin of carbohydrate foods. B. The secret of being smart. C. Carb love runs deep. D. The function of AMY1 gene. 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。 Humor is a shared language which comes in various forms.

I couldn’t wait to touch my little dog Tony and to continue training him. The previous training went well and there had already been a special love and trust between Tony and me. The dog was bought for very little money from a poor quality situation. He was the first dog I adopted. Upon reaching there, my smile was replaced with a confused face as Tony was nowhere to be seen, but a huge retriever with a golden color met me at the gate. I frantically(发疯地) searched the entire backyard, afraid my little dog Tony was hurt and in need of help. However, he was not anywhere. Almost in tears, I ran to find my mother. “Mom? ” I questioned her anxiously. “Where’s Tony, and where did that new dog come from? ” “We traded him with our friend Jones. I’ve always wanted a retriever. ” The answer was unexpected and heartbreaking. I begged Mom to let Tony back but she didn’t explain a word. It was just expected of me to accept it. I went back to my room. Tony needed me, as much as I needed him. How could my parents ignore that? I believed it was time to take a stand. I would get Tony back, so I began making a plan. While doing dishes afterward, I prepared a few snacks in my backpack. When I was sure all were asleep, I set out to locate Tony in the dark. I started down the driveway toward Jones’ house and imagined how upset my parents would be when they found this. One hour later, I got to Jones’ house and climbed through the open door into the backyard and found him in the dog kennel. I couldn’t help smiling and took him out of the kennel. “What are you doing here, Lucy? ” I turned quickly to face the familiar but shocked voice that scared me. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为 150 左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking Jones straight in the eye while holding Tony’s head tightly I replied nervously, “I…I came to get my dog. ” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon my parents entered the yard, with their eyes wide open as they looked at the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024~2025学年度高一年级上学期期末测试 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必在答题卡和答题卷规定的地方填写自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号后两位。 2. 答题时，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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 答题时，必须使用0. 5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔在答题卷上书写，要求字体工整、笔迹清晰。作图题可先用铅笔在答题卷规定的位置绘出，确认后再用 0. 5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔描清楚。必须在题号所指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 4. 考试结束，务必将答题卡和答题卷一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Close to 60,000 spectators gather to see the ball drop in person, but if being one of them is on your bucket list, be forewarned: There are no bathrooms, and to get a good view, you’ll likely need to get your spot (and start holding it) around 3 p. m.(大多数纽约人都会在历年的最后几秒钟观看一个重达12000磅的测地球体（时代广场球）在纽约时代广场上空降落。近6万名观众聚集在一起，亲眼目睹了球的落下，但如果你想成为其中一员，请事先警告：这里没有浴室，为了看得更清楚，你可能需要在下午3点左右找到你的位置（并占着）)”可知，要想参加在纽约时代广场凌晨举行的仪式，你需要提前9个小时左右亲自到场。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For good luck, the first visitor should be a tall, dark-haired male (a contrast to the blond Viking invaders of Scotland’s past), with shortbread, whisky and a lump of coal.(为求好运，第一个访客应该是一位高大、黑发的男性（与苏格兰过去金发碧眼的维京入侵者形成鲜明对比），带着酥饼、威士忌和一块煤)”可知，苏格兰人希望第一个访客是深色头发的男性会更好，是因为过去金发维京人的入侵导致了这个习俗。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Brazilians run into the ocean at midnight and jump over seven waves, each symbolizing a different wish for the year ahead.(巴西人在午夜跳入大海，跳过七道海浪，每一道海浪象征着对未来一年的不同愿望)”可知，关于希腊和巴西的新年习俗，D选项“巴西人可能通过跳过7个海浪来实现7个不同的愿望”正确。故选D。 B In August 2020, a doctor told me that I have an anxiety disorder. But she didn’t seem too worried, so neither was I. I left with a sense of relief at having the great mystery of my mental health revealed, without the need for medication. For the next nine months, I went on with my job and in a relationship that left me an anxious, isolated mess. I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t eating. The anxiety that ruled my life meant I couldn’t switch off. I felt alone in my misery. By May 2021, my family decided it was time to take me away from London for a week of fishing in northeast Scotland. This meant days of tangled lines, grey skies, wind, rain and mud. For years, they had dragged me along on fishing trips until I was old enough to resist. Fishing always felt like failure to me because I just couldn’t do it. I wanted to be inside, reading a book, curled up on the sofa, rather than out in the cold and wet. But this time was different. I found myself immersed in the gentle rhythm of casting the line and watching the fly move through the forest to different pools, a cup of coffee here and there, breaking for lunch with my family to enjoy the morning and being outside, willing the days to last longer. On that final morning, after a week of fishing, I finally caught my first salmon(鲑鱼). I found myself close to tears. Catching that fish made me realize I had control over the way I felt. I have something now that gives me hope when life is at its most unbearable. I still go fishing to this day. I also read, write, run, cook, swim, talk and laugh--but fishing is the thing that absorbs me most completely. In searching for silence, fishing is my complete companion. 4. Why did the author continue to work after he was told he had anxiety disorder? A. The doctor’s words made him relieved. B. He felt he had a lot of work to do. C. The author was used to staying up late. D. The author didn’t take his illness seriously. 5. Why didn’t the author resist his family dragging him to go fishing this time? A. He couldn’t switch off his work. B. He was trapped in his illness. C. He hoped to go fishing with his family. D. He didn’t think that fishing was a failure. 6. Why did the author hope the days would last longer? A He believed that he would catch his first fish. B. The slow pace of life in Scotland healed his anxiety. C. He began to appreciate the peaceful scenery in Scotland. D. He realized the importance of company from his family. 7. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs? A. He needs some silence and stillness in his life. B. A person needs motivation from a success. C. Only fishing can attract him completely. D. He enjoys being silent and lonely. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者患焦虑症，家人带他钓鱼，他在钓鱼中治愈焦虑，此后钓鱼成心灵寄托。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But she didn’t seem too worried, so neither was I. I left with a sense of relief at having the great mystery of my mental health revealed, without the need for medication.(但她似乎不太担心，所以我也不担心。得知自己心理健康的重大谜团被解开，而且不需要药物治疗，我如释重负地离开了。)”可知，医生似乎不太担心作者的焦虑症，作者也因此没有把自己的病当回事，所以医生的话让他松了一口气。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For the next nine months, I went on with my job and in a relationship that left me an anxious, isolated mess. I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t eating. The anxiety that ruled my life meant I couldn’t switch off. I felt alone in my misery.(在接下来的九个月里，我继续工作，而一段感情让我陷入了焦虑、孤独的混乱状态。我睡不着觉，也吃不下饭。主宰我生活的焦虑意味着我无法放松。我在痛苦中感到孤独。)” 以及第三段“By May 2021, my family decided it was time to take me away from London for a week of fishing in northeast Scotland.(到 2021 年 5 月，我的家人决定是时候带我离开伦敦，去苏格兰东北部钓一个星期的鱼了。)” 可知，作者之前一直被焦虑症困扰，处于痛苦的状态，家人带他去钓鱼，此时他被困于疾病之中，所以没有像以前那样抗拒家人带他去钓鱼。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself immersed in the gentle rhythm of casting the line and watching the fly move through the forest to different pools, a cup of coffee here and there, breaking for lunch with my family to enjoy the morning and being outside, willing the days to last longer.(我发现自己沉浸在抛线的轻柔节奏中，看着鱼线在森林中移动到不同的池塘，时不时喝杯咖啡，和家人一起停下来吃午饭，享受清晨时光，待在户外，希望日子能过得更久一些。)” 以及前文提到作者患有焦虑症，结合这些内容可以推断出，苏格兰这种慢节奏的生活治愈了他的焦虑，所以他希望日子能更久一些。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I still go fishing to this day. I also read, write, run, cook, swim, talk and laugh--but fishing is the thing that absorbs me most completely. In searching for silence, fishing is my complete companion.(直到今天我仍然去钓鱼。我也读书、写作、跑步、做饭、游泳、交谈和欢笑 —— 但钓鱼是最让我全神贯注的事情。在寻找宁静的过程中，钓鱼是我最完美的伙伴。)”可知，作者说钓鱼是他在寻找宁静过程中的完美伙伴，意味着他在生活中需要一些宁静和安静，钓鱼能满足他这方面的需求。故选A项。 C Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms. Brain rot has its own vocabulary that includes internet slang like “skibidi toilet” and viral video, such as an old clip of Barron Trump saying “I like my suitcase!” mixed with synth-heavy club music. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who grew up with smartphones and social media, are the primary audience for this content and have popularized the term. Emilie Owens, a doctoral researcher in the University of Oslo, surveyed some high school students about their online consumption habits and attitudes. She found that the teenagers described ridiculous videos on TikTok as “brain rot.” “It’s not like they were discussing a serious condition,” Owens said. “They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.” It’s almost a mark of pride, she said, certifying you as a card-carrying member of a certain generation, or at least clued into their inside joke. “Each generation use their own version of brain rot to do the same thing,” Owens said. “If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.” The phrase brain rot can cause concern and panic about young people and their screen time But social media users say it implies a certain degree of self-awareness — knowing that you have consumed so much online content that you can understand even the most proper references and jokes. “I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ” 8. What can you learn about “brain rot” according to the first two paragraphs? A. Brain rot has its own textbooks. B. Brain rot originates from Baron Trump. C. Brain rot offers people club music. D. Brain rot is favored by most young people. 9. What did Emilie Owens find in her survey? A. It’s a manner for young people to express something they like online. B. Some high students are addicted to the internet. C. Brain rot has caused some damage to their intelligence. D. Brain rot is a special mark for some youth organizations. 10. Why would some people watch TV series “Friends” and “Desperate Wives” again? A. They are the most popular American TV series around the world. B. Watching American TV series has become a fashion. C. They can get some comfort and relief from such TV series. D. Such TV are better than video games. 11. From Krissy Ryan’s words, what can you infer? A. Brain rot is harmful to young people’s intelligence. B. Brain rot is misunderstood by most of the public. C. Most young people don’t realise brain rot just offers some fun. D. Most contents of brain rot are silent videos. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了“脑腐”现象受到年轻人喜爱，介绍了脑腐产生的原因和治疗方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms.(如今，许多年轻人在各种社交媒体平台上吹嘘自己患有“脑腐病”)”可知，大多数年轻人都喜欢“脑腐”。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.(他们以一种积极的方式使用它来指代他们喜欢看的东西，或者他们用来一起看TikTok的语言)”可知，艾米丽·欧文斯在她的调查中发现这是年轻人在网上表达自己喜欢的东西的一种方式。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.”(“如果你有一份压力很大的工作，度过了糟糕的一周，你可能真的很期待回家，在沙发上再看一遍《老友记》，或者《绝望主妇》的剧集。”)”可知，有些人会把电视剧《老友记》和《绝望主妇》再看一遍是因为他们可以从这样的电视剧中得到一些安慰和解脱。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ”(“我认为，总来说，内容消费是一种很大的耻辱，人们认为它让我们变得不那么聪明，”34岁的Krissy Ryan说。她是佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的一名内容创作者，在Facebook和Threads等平台上经营着20多个表情包页面。“但我不这么认为。我们知道，说到底，这些内容是愚蠢的。”)”可知，大多数公众误解了“脑腐”。故选B。 D Are you obsessed with staple foods like rice, noodles and bread? If you give positive answer, you may have a “carb brain (碳水脑袋)”. However, have you wondered where this obsession comes from? The answer might be embedded in our DNA, according to a study published in the journal Science. Researchers from the Jackson Laboratory and the University at Baffalo in the US analysed the genomes (基因组) of 68 ancient humans, focusing on a gene called AMY1. It is responsible for producing an enzyme (酶) called amylase, which starts breaking down complex carbohydrates (碳水化合物), such as starch (淀粉), in our mouths. Amylase is crucial for digesting staple foods. Humans today have multiple copies of the AMY1 gene, and the research team discovered that hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者), who lived before the advent of agriculture 45,000 years ago, had an average of four to eight copies of the AMYI gene. This suggests that human ancestors had a preference for starchy foods even long before they began farming. The presence of multiple copies of the AMY1 gene in these three human species indicates that this trait was inherited from a common ancestor. This means that the shared trait existed as far back as 800, 000 years ago, before the different species evolved separately, according to Kwondo Kim, one of the lead authors of this study. What’s more, the analysis revealed that the number of AMY1 gene copies a person carries has significantly increased over the past 4, 000 years. This rise was likely driven by natural selection as humans adapted to starch-rich diets following the shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture. The study provided strong proof of how humans developed the ability to convert hard-to-digest starches into easily accessible sugars, Professor Taylor Hermes at the University of Arkansas in the US told CNN. Hermes also noted that, more importantly, the new research supported an emerging theory that carbohydrates, rather than proteins, were the key source of energy that fueled the increase in human brain size over time. 12. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. If you don’t have the enzyme amylase, you cannot eat staple foods. B. The gene AMY1 can only be found in Asian people. C. People who like staple foods are usually smarter. D. Whether people prefer carb foods is determined when they are born. 13. What does the study on ancient humans’ genes indicate? A. All human beings have a common ancestor. B. Farming originated from hunting and gathering. C. AMYI gene existed long before people engaged in agriculture. D. Human species has an 800,000 years history of consuming staple foods. 14. What does the underlined word “convert” in paragraph 6 mean? A. process B. change C. produce D. break 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The origin of carbohydrate foods. B. The secret of being smart. C. Carb love runs deep. D. The function of AMY1 gene. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论人类对碳化水合物的喜爱源自于基因。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you give positive answer, you may have a “carb brain (碳水脑袋)”. However, have you wondered where this obsession comes from?

This suggests that human ancestors had a preference for starchy foods even long before they began farming.(今天的人类有多个AMY1基因拷贝，研究小组发现，生活在45000年前农业出现之前的狩猎采集者平均有4到8个AMY1基因拷贝。这表明人类祖先早在开始农业耕作之前就对淀粉类食物有偏好)”可知，对古人类基因的研究表明了AMYI基因早在人类从事农业之前就存在了。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“hard-to-digest starches into easily accessible sugars(将难以消化的淀粉……易于消化的糖)”可知，此处指将难消化的淀粉变成好消化的糖，故划线词意思是“变成”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you give positive answer, you may have a “carb brain (碳水脑袋)”. However, have you wondered where this obsession comes from?

I couldn’t wait to touch my little dog Tony and to continue training him. The previous training went well and there had already been a special love and trust between Tony and me. The dog was bought for very little money from a poor quality situation. He was the first dog I adopted. Upon reaching there my smile was replaced with a confused face as Tony was nowhere to be seen, but a huge retriever with a golden color met me at the gate. I frantically(发疯地) searched the entire backyard, afraid my little dog Tony was hurt and in need of help. However, he was not anywhere. Almost in tears, I ran to find my mother. “Mom? ” I questioned her anxiously. “Where’s Tony, and where did that new dog come from? ” “We traded him with our friend Jones. I’ve always wanted a retriever. ” The answer was unexpected and heartbreaking. I begged Mom to let Tony back but she didn’t explain a word. It was just expected of me to accept it. I went back to my room. Tony needed me, as much as I needed him. How could my parents ignore that? I believed it was time to take a stand. I would get Tony back, so I began making a plan. While doing dishes afterward, I prepared a few snacks in my backpack. When I was sure all were asleep, I set out to locate Tony in the dark. I started down the driveway toward Jones’ house and imagined how upset my parents would be when they found this. One hour later, I got to Jones’ house and climbed through the open door into the backyard and found him in the dog kennel. I couldn’t help smiling and took him out of the kennel. “What are you doing here, Lucy? ” I turned quickly to face the familiar but shocked voice that scared me. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为 150 左右。 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking Jones straight in the eye while holding Tony’s head tightly, I replied nervously, “I…I came to get my dog. ” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon my parents entered the yard, with their eyes wide open as they looked at the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking Jones straight in the eye while holding Tony’s head tightly, I replied nervously, “I…I came to get my dog. ” Jones seemed a bit angry at first, but as he saw the determination and sadness in my eyes, his expression softened. He listened quietly as I poured out my feelings about how much Tony meant to me and how we had built a special bond during the training. After a long moment of silence, Jones finally said, “I understand your feelings, Lucy. If you truly love him this much, you can take him back.” I was overjoyed and thanked him sincerely. Just as I was about to leave with Tony, I heard the sound of a car approaching. Soon my parents entered the yard, with their eyes wide open as they looked at the scene. They were shocked to see me there with Tony. I bravely stepped forward and told them how much Tony meant to me and that I couldn’t live without him. I also apologized for running away at night but emphasized my strong desire to keep my dog. Mom and Dad looked at each other, and then Dad said gently, “We’re sorry, Lucy. We didn’t realize how important he was to you.” From then on, Tony stayed with me, and our family became more harmonious as we learned to respect each other’s feelings. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者放学后满心欢喜想与小狗托尼继续训练，却发现它被父母用一只金毛犬替换。得知真相后，作者难以接受，在深夜偷偷前往托尼所在的琼斯家，好不容易找到它，却在带走时被人发现。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我紧紧抱着托尼的头，直视着琼斯的眼睛，紧张地回答道：‘我…… 我是来带走我的狗的。’”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者向琼斯表明要带走托尼并倾诉了它对自己的重要性，琼斯被打动同意作者带走，就在作者准备离开时听到了汽车驶来的声音。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，我的父母走进院子，睁大眼睛看着这一幕。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父母看到深夜带托尼的作者很震惊，作者表明托尼对自己的重要性并道歉，父母理解后同意托尼留下，家庭变得更和谐。 2.续写线索： 向琼斯解释——琼斯被打动——同意作者带走托尼—— 向父母表明托尼对自己的重要性——父母理解并同意托尼留下 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看起来：seem/look ②说：say/utter ③感谢：thank/express gratitude to/appreciate 情绪类 ①高兴的： overjoyed/delighted/happy/glad ②惊讶的：shocked/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1]If you truly love him this much, you can take him back. （运用了if引导的条件状语从句） [高分句型2]Just as I was about to leave with Tony, I heard the sound of a car approaching.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3]We didn’t realize how important he was to you. （运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
