The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 24. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 25. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A. The popularity of block letters in recent times. B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 26. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills. C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive. C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive. C American households want the biggest bang for their buck right now when they pull their wallets out to shop. Higher inflation and interest rates are wearing out the US consumers. But they are still shopping and seeking the biggest discounts. Discount giant Trader Joe’s business was buzzing as thrifty (节俭的) shoppers flocked to its big-box stores last quarter to bag deals on groceries and everyday necessities like shampoo, toothpaste, paper towels and toilet paper. Sales at its stores open at least a year increased 3.8% in the quarter from the same time last year. Other discount suppliers such as Kroger and Fresh market also enjoyed a jump in their same-store sales in their latest quarter. At the same time, there’s a different kind of deal-seeking happening, too. Perhaps a bit counterintuitively, a bunch of stores that are known for more expensive products that aren’t exactly necessities are also seeing a boom, which means that Americans are still spending, but selectively, and that “value shopping” means different things to different people. It doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. Shoppers are willing to dig deeper if they feel like they’re getting quality products that are on trend, feel good, and last for a long time, even if it means spending a little bit more. A company’s CEO’s focus has been on getting back to the basics with quality products. This strategy included its newest summer linen clothing collection and surprise marketing moves involving celebrity collaborations. A white shirt dress for Anne Hathaway appeared to thrill shoppers. The dress became a viral moment on social media for the retailer, which the company quickly seized upon by releasing a limited pre-order for the dress to its shoppers priced at $158. It sold out within three hours. Shoppers are homing in not just on prices but on the benefits that they hope to receive from products for the price that they’re paying for, Zak Stambor, senior analyst, retail and ecommerce, with market research firm eMarketer said. 28. What contributed to the increase in Trader Joe’s sales year over year? A. A wide range of necessities. B. An increase in its number of retail stores. C. The pressure from other retailers. D. The higher demand for discounted goods. 29. Which can replace the underlined word “counterintuitively” in paragraph 3? A. Unexpectedly. B. Uncertainly. C. Undoubtedly. D. Unconsciously. 30. Why does the author mention the white shirt dress? A. To criticize its high price. B. To prove the CEO’s point. C. To boost a fashion trend. D. To show its owner’s identity. 31 What does Zak Stambor think of shoppers in the last paragraph? A. They focus on more expensive products. B. They buy the cheapest option. C. They consider good value for money. D. They prioritize the products on trend. D In parts of the ocean where sea otters (海獭) face harsh competition for their favorite kinds of food, some otters are getting by with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them hit open tougher prey that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat. That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters to see how it affected their health and nutrition. Sea otters are large marine mammals that spend their days foraging (觅食) in seaweed forests. “Their preferred prey are usually urchins and abalone,” says Chris Law, a biologist at the University of Texas and the University of Washington, who notes that urchins and abalone are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But he says there are areas with an over-abundance of urchins — the so-called “urchin barrens” where urchins have eaten all the seaweed. Since the seaweed is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and are thus calorie-poor. They offer little nutritional value for otters, which aren’t interested in consuming these so-called “zombie urchins”. “So that means otters have to find new foods,” says Law. “A lot of the foods are those super-hard-shell prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into. Snails, for example, are abundant in the bay, but they’re low-calorie and basically like a rock that you have to break into to eat the insides.” He explains that some otters learn to specialize in eating hard, low-calorie snails, using tools very frequently to “basically become really, really, really good at processing lots and lots and lots of snails every day”, instead of searching for high-calorie foods that don’t require tools to open but are in short supply. What’s more, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. “Without teeth, they clearly can’t eat anything. So then they die. What we’ re suggesting is that this behavior really allowed them to continue living on despite not having their preferred prey,” says Law. 32. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about sea otters? A. Their food supply. B. Their prey in sharp decline. C. Their damage to seaweed forests. D. Their good feeding environment. 33. Why do sea otters consume snails instead of their preferred prey? A. To change their taste. B. To gain low-calorie food. C. To improve their hunting skills. D. To increase their chance of survival. 34 What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Strategies for using tools skillfully. B. Unavailability of high-calorie foods. C. Adaptation to changing food chains. D. Importance of tool use for sea otters’ survival. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Seaweed is causing food shortage to sea otters B. Snails are becoming sea otters’ new favorite food C. Sea otters are using tools to obtain alternative foods D. Urchins and abalone are disappearing from sea otters’ food list 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。 Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? ____36____ The term “third-culture kids (TCKs)” was invented in the 1960s by US sociologist Dr Ruth Hill Useem. She first encountered this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. ____37____ Caught between two cultures, they form their own. While growing up as third-culture kids may sound challenging, these children often benefit from their multicultural background. In general, they often reach excellent academic results. About 90 percent of them have a university degree. Ginny, aged 20, was born in the UK. Since her early childhood, she had lived abroad moving around with her parents every few years before she returned to the UK to study. When returning to the UK to go to university, she realized she had benefited a lot from her years overseas. ____38____ While many other undergrads seemed unable to cope on their college life, she was easy to adjust to it. ____39____ In fact, many hardships may arise from this’ phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Besides, when they return home, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything they came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. ____40____As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. If so, then you are a third-culture kid. B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. C. The languages picked up abroad were really useful. D. The only problem was that she caught the travel bug. E. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. F. After many years, these kids still could not adapt to their host culture. G. These children often get along well with those who suffer from the same confusion. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was cleaning the roof of a customer’s house when the stroke happened.

Mathematics problems such as numbers and equations seemed like puzzles I could never solve. I often stayed behind after class to ask my math teacher, Mrs Johnson, for help. Despite her reputation for being very strict, she was incredibly dedicated to helping her students make progress. One afternoon, Mrs Johnson suggested I join the school math club. I laughed at the suggestion, thinking it was somewhat absurd. How could I, who barely understood basic algebra, possibly benefit from being in a club filled with math enthusiasts? Yet, she was serious. She believed that being surrounded by others who were passionate about math might activate a similar passion in me, and then improve my performance in the subject. Reluctantly, I attended my first math club meeting. It was intimidating at first, but the club members were welcome, and the activities were surprisingly engaging. We tackled mathematical puzzles, helped each other with homework, and even participated in friendly competitions. Mrs Johnson often stayed late to help us work through particularly tough problems, and she always encouraged us to think critically and creatively. As time progressed, I found myself looking forward to those Wednesday afternoon math club meetings. My understanding of math concepts deepened, and I began to enjoy the challenge of solving complex mathematics problems. My grades started to improve, slowly at first, then more consistently. More importantly, I was losing my fear of math. It was no longer a subject to endure but a challenge to conquer. Mrs Johnson’s faith in me had not only helped my academic skills but had also given me a new confidence in my ability to learn. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高考模拟卷·英语 (120分钟 150分) 考生须知： 1.本卷侧重：高考评价体系之创新性。 2.本卷怎么考：①考查应对创新性素材的能力(阅读C);②考查应对创新性设题的能力(题28)。 3.本卷典型情境题：阅读第二节;语言运用第一节。 4.本卷测试范围：高考全部内容。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers probably?

Firstly, a teacher should be attractive. It doesn’t mean a teacher should be good-looking. He or she should be able to attract the students’ attention. Anyway, a teacher shouldn’t be boring. Secondly, a teacher must understand the minds and feelings of students. Thirdly, a teacher should be a bit of an actor which means that a teacher should have the ability to make the lessons interesting. Fourthly, a teacher must be very patient. Teaching requires great efforts and a teacher should be able to deal with different kinds of children. Finally, a teacher should know that learning is a lifelong process. Teaching is a job that a teacher will never be perfect in. There is always something to learn. There are three main aspects of study: the subjects, the methods and the students. Education needs full and active cooperation between the teacher and the students. 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 Buccleuch Place Overview Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh, EH8 9LW, provides a mix of standard study bedrooms within flats, each with shared kitchen, living spaces and bathroom facilities.

The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 24. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 25. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A. The popularity of block letters in recent times. B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 26. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills. C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive. C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小学时对自己的草书书法感到自豪，到意识到现代趋势使草书变得不那么实用和容易理解的历程。尽管作者的朋友们很欣赏草书的美丽，但看不懂他们手写的明信片，所以为了清晰起见，他决定改用印刷体。这一转变象征着一个更广泛的社会转变，从手写交流向打字交流转变，显示了传统美感与实际易读性之间的斗争。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot.”（老师正在教我们帕尔默书法法，在我们写g和s以及美丽的f时，向我们灌输形成大而流畅的线条的重要性，在我的脑海中，f就像童话故事中的公主戴着华丽的帽子，同时伸出右脚）可知，帕尔默书法它的特点是线条大而流畅。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written.”（但最近发生的一件事动摇了我对草书的信心。让我完全难以置信的是，我的两个好朋友竟然抱怨我明信片上的字迹。他们很感激我定期寄给他们的漂亮明信片，但他们说他们真的看不懂我写的东西）可知，作者朋友们无法理解他的明信片削弱了作者对草书的信念。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate.”（冷静地看着明信片，我不情愿地承认他说得有道理。所有的m和n连在一起，l看起来像l。a和q是无法区分的。所以，从现在开始，我接受他们的建议，用大写字母交流）可知，作者改用大写字母来交流是为了清楚地传达他的信息。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive. They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists.”（现在很明显，年轻人不再学草书了。他们用手机打字。漂亮的书法是过去的事了。这已经成为传统主义者巨大悲伤的来源）可知，文章主要讲的是草书可悲的衰落。故选B项。 C American households want the biggest bang for their buck right now when they pull their wallets out to shop. Higher inflation and interest rates are wearing out the US consumers. But they are still shopping and seeking the biggest discounts. Discount giant Trader Joe’s business was buzzing as thrifty (节俭的) shoppers flocked to its big-box stores last quarter to bag deals on groceries and everyday necessities like shampoo, toothpaste, paper towels and toilet paper. Sales at its stores open at least a year increased 3.8% in the quarter from the same time last year. Other discount suppliers such as Kroger and Fresh market also enjoyed a jump in their same-store sales in their latest quarter. At the same time, there’s a different kind of deal-seeking happening, too. Perhaps a bit counterintuitively, a bunch of stores that are known for more expensive products that aren’t exactly necessities are also seeing a boom, which means that Americans are still spending, but selectively, and that “value shopping” means different things to different people. It doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. Shoppers are willing to dig deeper if they feel like they’re getting quality products that are on trend, feel good, and last for a long time, even if it means spending a little bit more. A company’s CEO’s focus has been on getting back to the basics with quality products. This strategy included its newest summer linen clothing collection and surprise marketing moves involving celebrity collaborations. A white shirt dress for Anne Hathaway appeared to thrill shoppers. The dress became a viral moment on social media for the retailer, which the company quickly seized upon by releasing a limited pre-order for the dress to its shoppers priced at $158. It sold out within three hours. Shoppers are homing in not just on prices but on the benefits that they hope to receive from products for the price that they’re paying for, Zak Stambor, senior analyst, retail and ecommerce, with market research firm eMarketer said. 28. What contributed to the increase in Trader Joe’s sales year over year? A. A wide range of necessities. B. An increase in its number of retail stores. C. The pressure from other retailers. D. The higher demand for discounted goods. 29. Which can replace the underlined word “counterintuitively” in paragraph 3? A. Unexpectedly. B. Uncertainly. C. Undoubtedly. D. Unconsciously. 30. Why does the author mention the white shirt dress? A. To criticize its high price. B. To prove the CEO’s point. C. To boost a fashion trend. D. To show its owner’s identity. 31. What does Zak Stambor think of shoppers in the last paragraph? A. They focus on more expensive products. B. They buy the cheapest option. C. They consider good value for money. D. They prioritize the products on trend. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国消费者在当前高通胀和高利率的背景下，仍然积极购物，但更注重性价比和折扣。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Discount giant Trader Joe’s business was buzzing as thrifty (节俭的) shoppers flocked to its big-box stores last quarter to bag deals on groceries and everyday necessities like shampoo, toothpaste, paper towels and toilet paper. (上个季度，折扣巨头Trader Joe’s的生意兴隆，因为节俭的购物者涌向其大型商店，抢购杂货和洗发水、牙膏、纸巾和卫生纸等日常必需品)”可知，购物者对折扣商品的需求增加导致Trader Joe的销售额同比增长。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。第二段主要说明很多折扣商的业务在上个季度增长了，表明经济在下行，画线词的下文“a bunch of stores that are known for more expensive products that aren’t exactly necessities are also seeing a boom, which means that Americans are still spending, but selectively, and that “value shopping” means different things to different people (一些以销售更昂贵的商品而闻名的商店也在蓬勃发展，这意味着美国人仍然在消费，但有选择地消费，“超值购物”对不同的人来说意味着不同的东西)”指出高端商品销售商的业务也在增长，这与人们通常认为“经济压力下消费者会减少高端消费”的直觉相反，画线词意思应该是“与直觉相反”，与A项Unexpectedly“出乎意料地，没想到”意思最接近。B. 不确定地；C. 毫无疑问地；D. 无意识地。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A company’s CEO’s focus has been on getting back to the basics with quality products. This strategy included its newest summer linen clothing collection and surprise marketing moves involving celebrity collaborations. A white shirt dress for Anne Hathaway appeared to thrill shoppers. The dress became a viral moment on social media for the retailer, which the company quickly seized upon by releasing a limited pre-order for the dress to its shoppers priced at $158. It sold out within three hours. (一家公司的首席执行官的关注点一直是回归高质量产品的本质。这一策略包括最新的夏季亚麻服装系列，以及与名人合作的出人意料的营销举措。安妮·海瑟薇的白衬衫裙似乎让购物者兴奋不已。这条裙子在社交媒体上引起了轰动，该公司迅速抓住机会，以158美元的价格向顾客推出了限量预购。三小时内售罄)”可知，此处先提到首席执行官的想法，再用白色衬衫裙的例子说明消费者愿意为高质量、时尚的产品支付更高价格，这印证了CEO的策略。因此，作者提到白色衬衫裙是为了证明CEO的观点。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Zak Stambor所说的话“Shoppers are homing in not just on prices but on the benefits that they hope to receive from products for the price that they’re paying for (购物者不仅关注价格，还关注他们希望从他们支付的价格中获得的好处)”可知，Zak Stambor认为消费者注重产品的性价比，希望物有所值。故选C项。 D In parts of the ocean where sea otters (海獭) face harsh competition for their favorite kinds of food, some otters are getting by with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them hit open tougher prey that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat. That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters to see how it affected their health and nutrition. Sea otters are large marine mammals that spend their days foraging (觅食) in seaweed forests. “Their preferred prey are usually urchins and abalone,” says Chris Law, a biologist at the University of Texas and the University of Washington, who notes that urchins and abalone are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But he says there are areas with an over-abundance of urchins — the so-called “urchin barrens” where urchins have eaten all the seaweed. Since the seaweed is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and are thus calorie-poor. They offer little nutritional value for otters, which aren’t interested in consuming these so-called “zombie urchins”. “So that means otters have to find new foods,” says Law. “A lot of the foods are those super-hard-shell prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into. Snails, for example, are abundant in the bay, but they’re low-calorie and basically like a rock that you have to break into to eat the insides.” He explains that some otters learn to specialize in eating hard, low-calorie snails, using tools very frequently to “basically become really, really, really good at processing lots and lots and lots of snails every day”, instead of searching for high-calorie foods that don’t require tools to open but are in short supply. What’s more, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. “Without teeth, they clearly can’t eat anything. So then they die. What we’ re suggesting is that this behavior really allowed them to continue living on despite not having their preferred prey,” says Law. 32. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about sea otters? A. Their food supply. B. Their prey in sharp decline. C. Their damage to seaweed forests. D. Their good feeding environment. 33. Why do sea otters consume snails instead of their preferred prey? A. To change their taste. B. To gain low-calorie food. C. To improve their hunting skills. D. To increase their chance of survival. 34. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Strategies for using tools skillfully. B. Unavailability of high-calorie foods. C. Adaptation to changing food chains. D. Importance of tool use for sea otters’ survival. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Seaweed is causing food shortage to sea otters B. Snails are becoming sea otters’ new favorite food C. Sea otters are using tools to obtain alternative foods D. Urchins and abalone are disappearing from sea otters’ food list 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加州蒙特雷湾的海獭在面对食物竞争时，如何利用工具如岩石和玻璃瓶来获取坚硬外壳的低热量食物，以维持生存。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，特别是“Since the seaweed is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and are thus calorie-poor. They offer little nutritional value for otters, which aren’t interested in consuming these so-called “zombie urchins”.(由于海藻消失了，这些海胆不再有良好的食物来源，因此它们的热量很低。对于海獭来说，这些海胆几乎没有营养价值，因此它们对所谓的“僵尸海胆”没有兴趣)”可知，本段主要讲述了海獭的食物供应情况，特别是当它们偏好的食物(如海胆和鲍鱼)变得稀缺或营养价值降低时，海獭不得不寻找新的食物来源。因此，第三段主要讲述了海獭的食物供应情况。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Since the seaweed is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and are thus calorie-poor. They offer little nutritional value for otters, which aren’t interested in consuming these so-called “zombie urchins”.(由于海藻消失了，这些海胆不再有良好的食物来源，因此它们的热量很低。对于海獭来说，这些海胆几乎没有营养价值，因此它们对所谓的“僵尸海胆”没有兴趣)”和第四段中“So that means otters have to find new foods,” says Law. “A lot of the foods are those super-hard-shell prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into. Snails, for example, are abundant in the bay, but they’re low-calorie and basically like a rock that you have to break into to eat the insides.”(“这意味着海獭必须寻找新的食物来源，”Law说。“很多食物是那些外壳非常坚硬的猎物，真的需要某种外力才能破开。例如，海湾里有大量的蜗牛，但它们热量很低，基本上就像一块你得破开才能吃到里面的岩石。”)”可推知，由于高热量食物短缺，海獭选择食用蜗牛而不是它们偏好的食物，是为了增加生存机会。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. “Without teeth, they clearly can’t eat anything. So then they die. What we’ re suggesting is that this behavior really allowed them to continue living on despite not having their preferred prey,” says Law.(此外，使用工具还保护了海獭的牙齿。“没有牙齿，它们显然什么都吃不了。那么它们就会死亡。我们所建议的是，这种行为确实让它们能够在没有理想猎物的情况下继续生存下去，”Law说)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了使用工具对海獭生存的重要性，特别是保护它们的牙齿，使它们能够在没有首选猎物的情况下继续生存。因此，最后一段传达的信息是使用工具对海獭生存的重要性。故选D。 35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“In parts of the ocean where sea otters (海獭) face harsh competition for their favorite kinds of food, some otters are getting by with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them hit open tougher prey that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat.(在海洋的一些区域，海獭面临着对其喜爱食物的激烈竞争，一些海獭借助工具——如石头甚至玻璃瓶——的帮助来砸开那些它们原本无法吃掉的更坚硬的猎物，从而得以生存)”可知，文章主要讲述了在食物竞争激烈的海域，海獭利用工具(如石头、玻璃瓶等)来获取其他替代食物，以适应环境的变化。因此，C选项“海獭使用工具获取替代食物”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 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。 Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? ____36____ The term “third-culture kids (TCKs)” was invented in the 1960s by US sociologist Dr Ruth Hill Useem. She first encountered this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. ____37____ Caught between two cultures, they form their own. While growing up as third-culture kids may sound challenging, these children often benefit from their multicultural background. In general, they often reach excellent academic results. About 90 percent of them have a university degree. Ginny, aged 20, was born in the UK. Since her early childhood, she had lived abroad moving around with her parents every few years before she returned to the UK to study. When returning to the UK to go to university, she realized she had benefited a lot from her years overseas. ____38____ While many other undergrads seemed unable to cope on their college life, she was easy to adjust to it. ____39____ In fact, many hardships may arise from this’ phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Besides, when they return home, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything they came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. ____40____As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. If so, then you are a third-culture kid. B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. C. The languages picked up abroad were really useful. D. The only problem was that she caught the travel bug. E. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. F. After many years, these kids still could not adapt to their host culture. G. These children often get along well with those who suffer from the same confusion. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. C 39. B 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了“第三文化孩子”（TCKs）的概念及其特点。 【36题详解】 上文“Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? (你是否在一种文化中长大，你的父母来自另一种文化，而你现在生活在一个完全不同的国家？)”提出了一个问题：“你是在一种文化中长大，父母来自另一种文化，而现在生活在一个完全不同的国家吗？”这个问题实际上是在描述“第三文化孩子（TCKs）”的特征。A选项“If so, then you are a third-culture kid. (如果是这样，那么你就是一个第三文化孩子。)”直接回应了这个问题，为下文详细解释“第三文化孩子”这一概念做了铺垫。故选A。 【37题详解】 上文“She first encountered this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. (当她研究生活在印度的北美儿童时，她第一次遇到了这种现象。)”以及后文“Caught between two cultures, they form their own. (在两种文化之间，他们形成了自己的文化。)” 提到了一位美国社会学家在研究生活在印度的北美儿童时首次发现了“第三文化孩子”的现象，并对这类孩子进行了介绍。F选项“After many years, these kids still could not adapt to their host culture. (多年后，这些孩子仍然无法适应他们的寄宿文化。)”承上启下，these kids与下文的they形成呼应，进一步对“第三文化孩子”情况进行说明及他们不能适应当地文化，符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 上文“Ginny, aged 20, was born in the UK. Since her early childhood, she had lived abroad moving around with her parents every few years before she returned to the UK to study. When returning to the UK to go to university, she realized she had benefited a lot from her years overseas. (Ginny今年20岁，出生于英国。她从小就住在国外，每隔几年就和父母一起搬来搬去，后来才回到英国学习。当她回到英国上大学时，她意识到自己在海外的这些年受益匪浅。)”提到Ginny在海外生活多年后回到英国上大学，意识到她从海外生活中受益匪浅。C选项“The languages picked up abroad were really useful. (在国外学到的语言真的很有用。)”与上文的“受益匪浅”相呼应，且符合Ginny作为“第三文化孩子”可能具备的多语言能力，并解释了这种能力如何帮助她在大学生活中轻松适应。故选C。 【39题详解】 下文提到“In fact, many hardships may arise from this’ phenomenon. (事实上，这种‘现象’可能会带来很多困难。)”，暗示了前文提到的“第三文化孩子”的某些方面并非总是积极的或容易的。B选项“Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. (然而，作为一个第三文化孩子并不总是容易的。)”直接引出了下文要讨论的内容，即“第三文化孩子”可能面临的挑战和困难。故选B。 【40题详解】 上文“The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. (他们面对的同龄人群体与孩子们对“家”的理想形象不符。)”提到“第三文化孩子”在回到祖国时可能会感到陌生，因为他们所面对的同龄群体与他们对“家”的理想化形象不符。E选项“This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. (这通常使他们很难形成自己的身份认同。)”与上文的描述相呼应，解释了这种不符可能导致的问题，即“第三文化孩子”在多种文化中挣扎，可能很难在任何地方找到身份认同。故选E。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was cleaning the roof of a customer’s house when the stroke happened.

Mathematics problems such as numbers and equations seemed like puzzles I could never solve. I often stayed behind after class to ask my math teacher, Mrs Johnson, for help. Despite her reputation for being very strict, she was incredibly dedicated to helping her students make progress. One afternoon, Mrs Johnson suggested I join the school math club. I laughed at the suggestion, thinking it was somewhat absurd. How could I, who barely understood basic algebra, possibly benefit from being in a club filled with math enthusiasts? Yet, she was serious. She believed that being surrounded by others who were passionate about math might activate a similar passion in me, and then improve my performance in the subject. Reluctantly, I attended my first math club meeting. It was intimidating at first, but the club members were welcome, and the activities were surprisingly engaging. We tackled mathematical puzzles, helped each other with homework, and even participated in friendly competitions. Mrs Johnson often stayed late to help us work through particularly tough problems, and she always encouraged us to think critically and creatively. As time progressed, I found myself looking forward to those Wednesday afternoon math club meetings. My understanding of math concepts deepened, and I began to enjoy the challenge of solving complex mathematics problems. My grades started to improve, slowly at first, then more consistently. More importantly, I was losing my fear of math. It was no longer a subject to endure but a challenge to conquer. Mrs Johnson’s faith in me had not only helped my academic skills but had also given me a new confidence in my ability to learn. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. I was actively participating in class, solving complex equations that I had seen unable to understand before. The fear that had clouded my perception of math was replaced by a genuine excitement for every new topic we covered. I even began to stay after our regular sessions to discuss advanced problems with Mrs Johnson, seeking out challenges that would have been too much for me to handle before. At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. As she called me to the front of the room, she handed me a certificate for “Most Outstanding Contribution”. The room erupted in applause. She praised me for sticking with my dream and for changing into not only a great math student but also someone who encourages others. Her acknowledgment confirmed my newfound passion and dedication to a subject that once seemed unconquerable, underscoring an incredible year of academic and personal growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文主要讲述了作者在高中时期，原本对数学感到困难重重，但在数学老师Johnson夫人的鼓励和建议下，加入了学校的数学俱乐部。通过参与俱乐部的活动和与其他数学爱好者的交流，作者逐渐克服了对数学的恐惧，对数学产生了兴趣，数学成绩也有了显著提升。最终，在学年结束时，作者因在数学俱乐部的突出贡献而获得表彰。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个月后，每个人都能看到我取得的巨大进步，不仅是在成绩上，而且在我学习数学的整个方法上。”可知，第一段可描写作者在数学上的显著进步，从害怕数学到积极参与课堂，解决复杂的方程，并表现出对新话题的真正兴奋。 ②由第二段首句内容“在学年结束时，在数学俱乐部的最后一次会议上，Johnson夫人做了一个特别的宣布。”可知，第二段可描写讲述了学年结束时，在数学俱乐部会议上，Johnson夫人宣布作者获得“突出贡献奖”，并赞扬了作者坚持梦想和成为优秀学生及鼓励他人的行为。 2.续写线索： 进步——积极参与——克服恐惧——深入探讨——获得表彰——肯定与成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 积极参与：participate in/take an active part in / actively engage in ② 解决：handle/work out ③ 表扬：praise/give praise to /compliment 情绪类 ① 兴奋：excitement/ thrill/exhilaration ② 热情和投入：passion and dedication/enthusiasm and commitment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
