W:OK,everyone.Today’s presentation is by Nathan.Start when you’re ready,Nathan.
M:OK.Hello,everyone.Our presentation is called A Smaller World and it’s about technology and cultural change.The talk focuses on technology that makes the world smaller.First of all,can you imagine life without cars and planes?Before the invention of these means of transport,people could only travel by train or boat,and they couldn’t travel very fast.Now,with cars and planes,we can travel farther and faster.Some people even live in one country and work in another because they can fly to work.Before we move onto the next type of technology,it is important to remember that planes and cars do have their disadvantages.They can be dangerous and they cause a lot of pollution,and this also changes the way we live.OK.Second,communications technology,like television and the Internet,certainly makes the world smaller.We stay in our house or office,but we can see news and shows from all around the world.With the Internet,we can write and chat to people all over the world.But nowadays,people spend more time using the technology than they do meeting other people.We’re spending more and more of our time in our houses,talking to strangers in other countries,than we are with our friends and neighbors.My grandmother could name all the people in her street,but I don’t even know the names of my neighbors.
W:OK.Thank you,Nathan,that was great.

B
Matthew Whitaker has been blind since birth.His parents were told that he only had a 50% chance of survival,and he experienced 11 operations before he was even two years old.
Despite being faced with these terrible situations,he survived.Not only that,he exhibited an excellent gift for playing the piano; by the time he was 3 years old,he had played two-handed piano compositions and written his own songs without ever having a teacher.At the age of 5,he even could play the songs completely after hearing them one time.
Dalia Sakas,the director of New York’s Filomen M.D Agostino Greenberg Music School,recalls the moment she decided to take Witaker on as a student when he was five years old,making him the youngest person to ever attend the school.Now only 18 years old,Whitaker has since toured the world,headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Center,and won a number of music awards.
Such is the height of Whitaker’s talent that he caught the attention of Dr.Charles Limb,a neurologist who also happens to be a fellow musician.Dr.Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker’s brain,so with the permission of the musician and his family,Whitaker took two MRI exams—first while being exposed to different stimuli,including music,and then while he played on a keyboard.
What Dr.Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker’s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质) in order to build other neurological(神经系统的) pathways.Even when Whitaker was simply listening to one of his favorite pieces of music,his entire visual cortex lit up.
When Dr.Limb presented Whitaker with his brain scans showing how his brain lit up when he listened to music,the musician was amazed.“I didn’t even know that was happening.” When asked about why his brain was inspired in such a way,he simply said “I love music”.
24. What can we learn about Matthew Whitaker from paragraph 3?
A.He was the youngest disabled piano player in the school.
B.Dalia Sakas helped him tour the world to play the piano.
C.He had visited a lot of tourist attractions by the time he was 18.
D.He has achieved great success in music when he is just eighteen.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,马修·惠特克在他18岁的时候已经完成了全球演出,赢得了许多奖项,所以在他18岁的时候在音乐上已经获得成功。故选D。
25. What was Dr.Limb probably interested in about Matthew?
A.His brain’s reaction to music.
B.The terrible condition of Matthew.
C.The special structure of his brain.
D.The wonderful performance of Matthew.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Dr.Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker’s brain”可知,利普博士感兴趣的是惠特克的大脑对音乐的反应。故选A。
26. What do you know about the result of Whitaker’s brain scans?
A.It showed that Whitaker was just a common boy.
B.Dr.Limb and Whitaker both felt unexpected about it.
C.Dr.Limb thought that it wasn’t reasonable and complete.
D.It explained how Whitaker remembered the songs after listening.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句和最后一段第一句可知,利普博士和惠特克对这个扫描结果是没有预料到的,故选B。
27. What is the best title for the text?
A.A Scientist Is Studying An 18-year-old Piano Player
B.An 18-year-old Blind Piano Player Is Studying His Brain
C.An 18-year-old Piano Player Helps Scientists with Music
D.A Scientist Studies An 18-year-old Blind Piano Player’s Brain
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。文章前三段讲述了惠特克从小失明,但他是一个天才少年,在十八岁时就在音乐上取得了巨大成功,后三段讲述了利普博士因为好奇而对他的大脑进行了扫描检测,发现了令人惊讶的结果。所以标题应为“一位科学家研究一位18岁的盲人钢琴演奏者的大脑”,故选D。
C
Improvements to energy efficiency,such as LED lights,are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions.Yet a growing body of research suggests that a rebound(反弹) effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements,making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.
A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds,UK,looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect.First comes the direct rebound:for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car,they may take advantage of that by driving it further.Then comes the indirect rebound:fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy,consuming energy.
Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect,they produced very consistent estimates of its impact,leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out,on average,63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.
“We’re not saying energy efficiency doesn’t work.What we’re saying is the rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.
The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped-for savings dates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论),named after the economist William Stanley Jevons,who,in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.
If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested,it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon-capture technology than is currently being planned for.
But that doesn’t mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect.One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由提高能源效率所带来的反弹效应可能使其节省的资金大大缩减,并指出人们应采取任何措施来限制反弹效应。
28.Which of the following is a rebound effect?
A.A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.
B.A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.
C.A family saves money by using energy-saving devices.
D.A lady spends savings from her fuel-efficient car on more clothes.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的例子和“Then comes the indirect rebound:fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy,consuming energy.”可知,D项“女士把省油汽车节省的钱花在买更多的衣服上”符合间接反弹效应。故选D项。
29.How did Paul Brockway’s team carry out their research?
A.By interviewing economists.
B.By analyzing former studies.
C.By modeling the rebound effect.
D.By debating about the Jevons paradox.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team led by Paul Brockway...looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect.”可知,研究团队是通过分析现有的关于反弹效应的33份研究来进行他们的研究的。故选B项。
30.What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?
A.Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.
B.Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.
C.More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.
D.The rebound effect helps protect the environment.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We’re not saying energy efficiency doesn’t work.What we’re saying is the rebound needs to be taken more seriously...”可知,Brockway认为应该更加关注反弹效应。故选C项。
31.What’s the author’s attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?
A.Positive. B.Pessimistic.
C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段第一句“那并不意味着限制反弹效应是无计可施的”可知,作者对于限制反弹效应是持积极(positive)态度的,并提出了对应的解决办法。故选A项。
D
(2023·常州高三期末)
Humans have always assumed that there is a huge gulf between animal behavior and human development.However,recent research into animals shows that animals are continuously designing innovative methods to finish their tasks.Examining the nature and results of their creativity can help us understand evolution.
Research shows that animals too can be creative.By inventing new behavioral patterns and adjusting their behavior to new contexts,as well as to changes in social and ecological environments,researchers show that animal innovation too can be diverse.For instance,chimpanzees(黑猩猩) use tools such as sharp spines and stalks to remove the hearts of palm vegetables from trees.Herring gulls(银鸥) found out quite a cruel way of killing rabbits—drowning them in the sea.
Innovative species tend to survive when they enter new places,but novel behavior cannot be recognized unless “normal” behavior is studied.Researchers can now count and document the innovations that have been created by species,which would help them to quantify their creativity.Studies also show us that all animals are not equally inventive,with primates(灵长目动物) tending to be more innovative due to their bigger brains.
The greatest scientific significance has been the innovation shown by animals such as apes,capuchins and macaques among primates.These species of primates possess the biggest brains in proportion to their body sizes.They are also heavy tool users.Their broad diets and complex forms of learning are also insightful.They indicate an evolutionary strategy that gave them new solutions to life’s challenges.
However,even if these animals show innovativeness,they do not have the ability to improve upon solutions of others.Unless they share information accurately and copy each other’s inventions,their creative inventions are likely to vanish before they can be innovated further.This ability can be managed only by humans,for we are able to build on shared knowledge.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究发现动物并不像人类一直以来所认为的那样与人类的发展有着巨大的差距,实际上动物也是不断通过创新来完成它们的任务的,而这一点进一步提高了它们适应环境的能力。
32.What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Difference. B.Conflict.
C.Balance. D.Connection.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“However,recent research into animals shows that animals are continuously designing innovative methods to finish their tasks.”可知,动物们在完成任务方面同人类一样是在不断创新的,副词However表示前后意思相反,所以画线词所在句子想要表达的意思是人们一直以来认为动物在行为方面是远远落后于人类发展的,即动物行为与人类发展之间存在很大的差距。故选A。
33.What does the author want to show when mentioning “chimpanzees” and “herring gulls” in paragraph 2?
A.They are both creative.
B.They are both heavy tool users.
C.They create innovations in different ways.
D.They kill other animals in the same cruel way.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Research shows that animals too can be creative...animal innovation too can be diverse.”可知,研究表明,动物的创新也可以是多样化的,而后文为了证明这一点举了两个例子——黑猩猩和银鸥,而这也就说明了黑猩猩和银鸥在以不同的方式进行创新。故选C。
34.What can we learn about animal creativity?
A.It is equally distributed among animals.
B.It helps animals adapt to the environment.
C.Animals’ innovations are easy to be identified.
D.Animals’ innovations are facing huge challenges.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知,动物的创造力代表了一种进化策略,而这种进化使得动物们更加灵活地适应环境。故选B项。
35.What aspect of animals does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Their ability to share information accurately.
B.Their willingness to learn from each other.
C.Their inability to take creativity forward.
D.Their unwillingness to cooperate effectively.
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。根据最后一段可知,动物不能像人类那样共享知识,也就意味着它们不能改进其他动物的解决方案,所以最后一段主要讲的是动物不能改进它们的创造力。故选C项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can’t Resist Junk Food?Study
Suggests You Try This Simple Trick
You’re tired and hungry.Then you catch a whiff of something delicious,probably fried and almost certainly fattening.It is fried chicken! 36 A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let’s take a closer look at this process.Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it?What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes? 37 And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments,including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria,show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e.g.cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell). 38 That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth,which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
39 When the exposure to smell of healthy food was examined,food choices were not profoundly influenced.The reason for this is that healthy foods are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries,it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. 40
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However,it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F.It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G.The brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
36.答案 A
解析 根据下一句可知,接触垃圾食品的气味至少两分钟会帮助你选择更健康的食品,所以本句建议不要急着点餐,A项“但是在点单之前先等一下”符合语境。故选A。
37.答案 D
解析 根据前文的两个问句可知,垃圾食品在第一次被闻到时非常吸引人,那么在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?根据下一句“最近的科学谈到这恰恰是要离开的时刻”可知,本句在表达“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了。”故选D。
38.答案 G
解析 根据本段开头可知,一系列的实验结果表明接触垃圾食品的气味多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降,同时,下一句在解释闻到气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。可知空处所在句在解释这种现象的原因,即大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故选G。
39.答案 E
解析 根据下一句“当检测接触健康食物的气味时,食物选择并没有受到很大的影响。”可知,空格内容与健康食物的气味相关,并且表达转折的语义。故选E。
40.答案 F
解析 上文中的“it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two”与选项F“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.”承接自然,话题一致。故选F。

A Lecture on the Prevention of Internet Fraud
With an increasing number of people disturbed by Internet fraud and its influence worse and worse,our school held a lecture concerning the prevention of Internet fraud last Friday.Here is the relevant information.
The lecture told us how to protect us students from being cheated.To start with,don’t answer phones from strangers,especially from foreign countries.Besides,when it comes to the web link,we’d better not click it at random unless it is valid.Also,don’t join groups which cheat us into making good money by investing a little.
I think the lecture is extremely useful.It reminds us not to be greedy and that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Be a True Runner
For me,it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track.Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day.Not me.I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete.I knew this by the time I was twelve,because my camp counsellors(辅导员)and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got.So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake,I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners,and my body tensed as I heard a counselor call,“Fred!Where is Fred!He is in this race!” It was Barry.He spotted me under the tree.“Fred!We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line.Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched,I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in.Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp.And then Barry said,“When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程)on the field,just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line,I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark...Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off.I stayed close on Bill’s heels,a little too close for Bill,I guess.He shouted at me,“Back off!”
I did.Two guys passed me,but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring.The distance was widening between Bill and me.We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy,wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.Through the trees,I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall.A runner from another camp passed him.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
In a moment,Bill was up again and running.
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.
参考范文
In a moment,Bill was up and running.I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely.I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out.Naturally,my pace slowed down.Just at the moment,Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back.Convinced that I was no longer a loser,I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again.Injected with confidence,I headed for the finishing line.The gun cracked again,announcing the last 200 meters.I closed my eyes,threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength,in the direction of the dream line.
I didn’t know when I crossed the line.I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst,which signaled the birth of the champion.I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me.“We have won the race!We are the champion!” they shouted and cheered,throwing me in the air.Showered with hugs and applause and whistles,I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me.To me,the race meant more than a champion;it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential.Just as Hemingway put it,“The true nobility is superior to your former self.”
