M：Excuse me，Miss Louis，I hate to interrupt，but I think we should slow down the production and pay more attention to quality. Text 2 M：Do you think I’m going too fast? W：Of course，the speed limit here is 55 miles per hour，and you are going 15 miles over it. Text 3 W：So，what do you think? Do they suit me? M：Well，they are nice jackets，but they make you look fat. W：OK，I will leave them then. Text 4 M：Well，now，before we order，let’s agree first that we each pay our own bill. W：OK，I agree. M：And...what do you say，Barbara and Charles? Text 5 W：Can we have chicken for dinner? M：I don’t see why not. W：Great，how do you like it cooked? M：It doesn’t matter. Text 6 W：So here is your key，Mr McDonald.The luggage will be brought to your room. M：Thanks，I will need a meeting room tomorrow.Do you have one in the hotel? W：Yes，we do.You can ask our hotel manager in the morning. M：One more thing，is the restaurant still open? W：I’m afraid not. M：Never mind.I will call room service.Thanks for your help. Text 7 W：How can I help you，sir? M：Could you break a 20 for me? W：Sure.How do you want it? M：Could I have two fives and the rest in ones? W：Well，I have some fives but I don’t have enough ones.Are quarters OK with you? M：OK，that’s even better.In that case，I won’t have to worry about the small change for photocopying.I need to prepare a lot of materials for my studying. W：Here you go. M：Thanks a million. Text 8 M：At just 23，Betty，the pop star，has a handful of records to her name.Now she will talk to me about herself.Where do you come from? W：I grew up in West London.And I was actually born there as well.My mum is from Scotland and my father is from Singapore.He came over when he was 17 or something to England and met my mum and they got married. M：So have you ever been to Singapore? W：Actually it’s funny you should say that，because I went to Singapore for my holiday this year.I did the whole tourists’ things and I really enjoyed it.It was quite nice seeing people that looked like my dad.I really loved it and the people were lovely.There are Chinese，Indians，and English.So there are three different kinds of customs there.You can walk to one part of the town，and it’s like India；and in another part，it’s like Europe；and in another part，it’s like China.So you see，in one country，you can experience different customs from three different societies.That is something special about Singapore.And I also think Singapore has got the best food. M：Did you get looked at a lot over there? W：Yeah，I did，because people thought I was half something，and they liked my skin，so I got quite a lot people looking at me，which was quite annoying.

M：Because I was at the café till the ten o’clock news was over，and it’s only a two-minute walk from here.Is there any chance of anything being recovered? I know my friends will be especially sad about the paintings. W：We’ll do our best and let you know if we find anything.And if I were you，I would immediately call my friends. Text 10 W：Don’t you think the world would be an easier place to live in if we all spoke the same language? There are thousands of different languages spoken around the globe，so it’s no wonder we have such difficulties understanding one another.If you are going to choose a language which everyone in the world would learn，which would you choose? Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language，and English has already been selected as the international language of business and science.Many other people have tried to find an answer to this problem.One of them was Dr Zamenhof—a Polish word expert.In 1887，he introduced Esperanto—a totally new language to the world.Thousands of people took it seriously and began to learn to speak it.Today Esperanto is still spoken by eight million people around the world，and it is a language accepted by the post office，so if you address some letter in Esperanto，it will get to the correct place. 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 The Nobel Literature Prizes are awarded to the persons who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction.The followings are some famous female winners in recent years.

During a break in practice，Lino discovered that his smartphone was dead and he didn’t have a charger.His mind wandered back to a lesson in school on kinetic energy，a kind of energy produced by an object in motion.Lino thought，“What if I could make use of the energy wasted on the field to power the phone？” That moment led Lino to invent the Kinetic Kickz 2.0.It’s something like a rechargeable battery that fits into the sole(鞋底) of a shoe，collecting energy produced from walking.The energy can then be used to power portable devices.Lino calculates that 12 minutes of walking can generate enough kinetic energy to charge 10% of a cellphone battery. A device like this could change everyday life for many people.All around the world，there are people who don’t have access to electricity.Being able to even light up a little lightbulb on their ceiling would make a big difference.He dreamed that the technology could be used to create clean energy and limit the effects of climate change. Lino came up with his first invention when he was in fourth grade.He invented the String Ring，an adjustable band that protects the fingers as they move along the strings of a cello.It won first place in a state competition.Now Lino’s developing one for guitar players. “It’s usually been about helping other people，for me，” Lino says about inventing.The ninth grader encourages others to see their everyday problems as opportunities to come up with ideas for inventions，too.“Kids are better inventors than grown-ups at times，because they can be more creative，” Lino says.“I just want to inspire more people to become inventors and help change the world.” 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了来自得克萨斯州弗里斯科的14岁男孩利诺·马雷罗发明Kinetic Kickz 2.0的过程。 24．What motivated Lino to invent Kinetic Kickz 2.0? A．His everyday practice on the soccer field. B．His concerns for the environmental protection. C．The helplessness when his phone was out of power. D．The knowledge he learned during his physics lessons. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知，是Lino训练间隙时手机没电了，又没带充电器，那个场景下促使他发明了Kinetic Kickz 2.0。故选C。 25．What does the Kinetic Kickz 2.0 do? A．It changes people’s thought of fashion. B．It promotes the performance of batteries. C．It has completely changed people’s life. D．It could store the energy generated from moving. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。由第三段中的“It’s something like a rechargeable battery that fits into the sole(鞋底) of a shoe，collecting energy produced from walking.”可知，Kinetic Kickz 2.0可以收集行走产生的能量。故选D。 26．Which of the following best describes Lino? A．Responsible and creative. B．Devoted and ambitious. C．Demanding and cooperative. D．Optimistic and generous. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It’s usually been about helping other people，for me”和他的各种发明可知，他是一个有责任心和有创造力的人。故选A。 27．What does the text intend to do? A．Present a new technology. B．Tell a story of an inventive boy. C．Introduce an energy-gathering device. D．Explain the way to become an inventor. 答案　B 解析　写作意图题。文章第一段提出来自得克萨斯州弗里斯科的14岁男孩利诺·马雷罗灵感迸发时正在足球场上，然后详细介绍了他发明Kinetic Kickz 2.0的过程。由此可知，本文主要讲述了一个有创造力的男孩的故事。故选B。 C Most people find sugar hard to resist.Our big brains need lots of energy and sugary foods provide plenty of it.But when calories are too readily available，it is easy to overdo it. There has been no shortage of research on sugar substitutes that trigger a sweet sensation without the calories，but these alternatives also taste slightly bitter for many people.What’s more，evidence from animal and human studies has linked some to glucose intolerance and weight gain. One promising alternative is found in the fruit of Synsepalum dulcificum(神秘果)，a plant native to West Africa.These miracle berries don’t taste sugary themselves，but if you try something sour afterward，it will taste miraculously sweet.In Benin，the fruit is eaten fresh and is mostly used as a sweetener to have with sour foods and drinks.The berry is appreciated by local consumers，especially the kids and people with diabetes who use it as a substitute for synthetic sugar. The chemical，a protein named miraculin(神秘果素)，was identified in 1968 and a team in Japan discovered how it works in 2011.At neutral pH，miraculin is an antagonist to our sweet taste receptors，meaning it blocks the taste of sweetness.But in the presence of an acid，miraculin changes shape and is able to activate the receptors. Despite the miracle berry’s promise as a sugar substitute，it is only produced on a smallish scale and isn’t available worldwide.The berries don’t travel well and the plant is slow to grow and mature. To create an alternative source of miraculin，researchers in Japan have genetically engineered tomatoes to produce the protein，while another team is working on increasing the production of miracle berries in West Africa.Earlier 2022，a team in China published the genome of Synsepalum dulcificum.A Spanish start-up plans to promote sustainable cultivation of the plant in Ghana and market the dried berries as a food supplement. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种神秘果可以让酸的食物尝起来很甜，介绍了其原理以及这种水果的生长习性等情况。 28．What is special about Synsepalum dulcificum as a sugar alternative? A．It contains many calories itself. B．It makes sour food taste sweet. C．It will gain weight and cause disease. D．It does good to kids and diabetic patients. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These miracle berries don’t taste sugary themselves，but if you try something sour afterward，it will taste miraculously sweet.”可知，神秘果作为糖的替代品其特别之处是它使酸的食物尝起来甜。故选B。 29．How do the miracle berries work on sour food? A．By changing the pH of a food. B．By increasing its sugar content. C．By producing shape-variable miraculin. D．By weakening the sweet taste receptors. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“But in the presence of an acid，miraculin changes shape and is able to activate the receptors.”可知，这种神秘果通过产生形状可变的神秘果素来作用于酸味食物。故选C。 30．What does the underlined word “antagonist” probably mean in paragraph 4? A．Enemy. B．Assistant. C．Trigger. D．Receiver. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据后文“这意味着它会阻止甜味”可知，在中性pH值下，神秘果素应是甜味感受器的敌人，画线词意思是“敌人”。故选A。 31．Why are the miracle berries hard to get? A．They are only locally available. B．They cannot be grown elsewhere. C．It is expensive to transport them. D．It takes long to harvest a small amount. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，神秘果很难买到是因为收获量少且成长缓慢。故选D。 D New research has shown that a fungus(真菌) skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips，making them easier to recycle.The researchers were working on new materials to replace plastics，when they made the discovery. At the time，a member of the team had been looking at using fungus materials for use in other areas.This work led to the latest study，which shows how Ganoderma lucidum(灵芝) skin could work as an alternative. The team discovered that Ganoderma lucidum，which grows on rotten hardwood trees，forms a skin to protect its growth medium (the wood)．“It does so in order to protect itself，” Kaltenbrunner，one of the researchers，said，explaining that the team were able to get this protection by removing the skin and drying it.The skin is slightly less insulating(绝缘的) than plastics，but it still works safely and successfully，with a thickness similar to paper and the ability to stand temperatures over 200℃. The skin has many qualities that make it different from other materials.Kaltenbrunner said，“But most importantly，it can grow in waste wood and does not need too much energy.” “The skin is very proper because it can last a long time if kept dry，but in just a standard family compost，it would break down entirely within two weeks or less，” he added. While the team’s work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use，they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics.“There are large amounts of waste wood，” Kaltenbrunner said，“which is a lot of food for Ganoderma lucidum.” 32．What is an advantage of the fungus skin? A．It is thicker than plastics. B．It can stand low temperatures. C．It is environmentally friendly. D．It can keep wet for a long time. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New research has shown that a fungus(真菌) skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips，making them easier to recycle.”以及第四段最后一句可知，真菌表皮是环保的。故选C。 33．What is the researchers’ attitude to the future of the fungus skin? A．Uncertain. B．Unfriendly. C．Flexible. D．Positive. 答案　D 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段首句“While the team’s work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use，they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics.”可知，研究人员对于真菌表皮的未来持乐观态度。故选D。 34．In which section of a newspaper can you read the text? A．Geography. B．Science. C．Fashion. D．Culture. 答案　B 解析　文章出处题。根据第一段内容以及下文对真菌表皮特点的介绍可知，本文是科普类的说明文，所以我们可以在报纸的科学版块读到它。故选B。 35．What may be the best title for the text? A．An Alternative to Plastics B．A New Use of a Fungus Skin C．The Introduction to Funguses D．The Function of Fungus Materials 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。根据第一段第一句可知，研究发现真菌表皮的一种新用途：制作电脑芯片，并在下文中对这种真菌的特征进行介绍，所以B项“一种真菌表皮的新用途”能够概括文章主题。故选B。 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。 (2023·山东烟台高二期末) With the popularity of electronic devices，you find it harder to tear your children away from iPads and curl up with a good book. 36 So，how can you cultivate in your kids a love of reading，as well as the habits of a lifelong reader? First of all，be sure to choose accessible books.Authoritative reading lists are a great guideline for the books you select for your kids. 37 A quick way to assess whether or not a book suits your child is to have them read a page from it.If he or she comes across 2－3 unfamiliar words，that book in general should be at his or her level.This doesn’t mean more challenging books should be thrown aside completely.These books provide a great opportunity for group reading and discussion with a parent. 38 Another way is to let your kids have a say in what they want to read.Have them select books based on his or her interest and books they find enjoyable. 39 Such fun books as Captain Underpants，comics，and even the Guinness Book of World Records suit kids’ taste and serve the purpose. Finally，create settings where reading is a natural part of their positive memories. 40 Read while lying on the beach，or snuggle up with family and a beloved book.When associating reading with the happy memories，kids will be much more willing to read at their leisure as they grow older. A．There are endless means of doing this. B．To improve their reading skills is essential. C．Books with top-level difficulty are unavailable. D．Reading is a fantastic way to relax and reduce stress. E．The benefits of reading are beyond question even in the digital age. F．Even so，you’d better single out books appropriate to their reading levels. G．The joint reading sessions are invaluable for your child’s growth as a reader. 36．答案　E 解析　上文提到了iPads，后文则说培养对阅读的热爱，可知空处应承上启下，故E选项“即使在数字时代，阅读的好处也是毋庸置疑的”符合语境，故选E。 37．答案　F 解析　根据该段首句可知，本段主要是建议选择孩子能看懂的书。前文提到权威阅读清单是很好的参考，后文则提出了具体的挑选方法，可知仅靠权威清单是不够的，故F选项“即便如此，你最好挑选适合他们阅读水平的书”符合语境，故选F。 38．答案　G 解析　上文提到了这些有挑战性的书为和家长一起阅读和讨论提供了很好的机会，即建议家长和孩子共同阅读，故G选项“共同阅读对孩子成长为阅读者是非常宝贵的”承接上文，故选G。 39．答案　C 解析　上文提出要根据孩子的兴趣选择书；后文“Such fun books as...suit kids’ taste and serve the purpose.”列举了一些有趣的书，故C选项“不要选有顶级难度的书”符合语境，故选C。 40．答案　D 解析　后文“Read while lying on the beach，or snuggle up with family and a beloved book...”提到了将阅读变成轻松快乐的记忆，即通过阅读来放松，故D选项“阅读是放松和减压的好方法”符合语境，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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Never criticize someone until you have walked in a mile in their shoes.During the past 25 years，I’ve often found that the saying has helped me see 41 from a different view.

Grandpa had planted a few palm trees near the front door and today they had become large，massive trees with thick trunks.He never allowed his trees to be cut.He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. One night，Dyami was awakened by a strange sound.Suddenly，the ground shook as if the earth was splitting.He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa.He clung(附着) to his grandpa tightly.Grandpa cried out，“It’s an earthquake！” They ran outside the house.They thought that would be safe. However，there was a louder sound，the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring.People were shouting，screaming and crying，“The sea is rising！The sea is rising！” The villagers started running away from the beach.Dyami watched stupidly. The waves were rising higher and higher.Dyami thought，“How big the waves are！” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides.He was scared.Dyami remembered his mother telling him long ago，“You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa.But the water came surging(汹涌) in. Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in，drowning everything.Water was all around and everywhere. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Grandpa held Dyami’s hand tightly，but a huge wave separated(使……分开) them. “Dyami，Dyami！” Grandpa cried.“Don’t be scared，little one，come to me，quickly.” 参考范文 Grandpa held Dyami’s hand tightly，but a huge wave separated them.Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Dyami，but failed.Dyami was drifted away！He struggled to keep his head above the water.The water pushed him ahead.Fortunately，he caught a palm tree in his courtyard.He panicked and screamed out to Dyami but could not see him.He clung to the tree tightly while the sea water was all around.In hope of seeing Dyami，Grandpa climbed higher up the tree.The water carried Dyami round and round. “Dyami，Dyami！” Grandpa cried.“Don’t be scared，little one，come to me，quickly.” “But Grandpa，I can’t swim！” Another wave came with terrifying speed and force.Dyami cried in despair.Suddenly，Dyami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree.He immediately held it！Looking around，he saw everything was terribly destroyed，but in the near distance，his grandpa was on another tree！Soon it was calm，both Grandpa and Dyami came down the trees and rushed to hug each other，and then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
