Every year hot pepper cultivators (耕种者) find new ways to create peppers that will compete for the top position. Below we list the present hottest peppers based on expected median heat on the Scoville Scale (史高维尔指标，辣椒辣度的测量单位). Pepper X Pepper X was planted by the PuckerButt Pepper Company in the US. Measured at its max at 3.18 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), and officially measured at 2.69 million SHU in the Guinness Book of World Records, Pepper X truly outshines the previous record holder, the Carolina Reaper. Carolina Reaper The Carolina Reaper, also developed by the PuckerButt Pepper Company, hold the title of the world’s hottest pepper in the Guinness Book of World Records from 2013 to 2021. The pepper’s heat level reaches an average of 1.6 million SHU, with some individual peppers recorded at over 2.2 million SHU. Komodo Dragon The Komodo Dragon pepper is a fiery chili hailing from the UK. It’s renowned for its extreme heat between 1.4 million to 2.2 million SHU. The heat of the Komodo Dragon pepper is not immediate but builds up for 10 seconds before it unleashes its full potential. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion originates (起源于) from island country Trinidad and Tobago. Its heat measures from 1.2 to 2 million SHU. And it looks strange, with its scorpion (蝎子)-like stinger (刺) tail. This fiery pepper was even recognized as the world’s hottest pepper by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2012. 7 Pot Douglah The 7 Pot Douglah also originates from Trinidad and Tobago, ranging from 923,889 to 1,853,986 SHU. The pepper gets its name from the local belief and fact that one pod (豆荚) is enough to cook seven pots of stew (菜肴). Its dark brown color gives it a unique appearance among chili peppers. 21. The hottest pepper in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records in 2021 was ________. A. Pepper X B. Carolina Reaper C. Komodo Dragon D. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 22. What do Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and 7 Pot Douglah have in common? A. They both have the same SHU. B. They were both developed by the same company. C. They both originate from the Trinidad and Tobago. D. They were both recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research report B. A shopping advertisement. C. A travel brochure. D. A food magazine. B Grady Ferranti, a middle school student from La Porte, Texas, wanted to play in the coming Youth World Series Baseball Tournaments (联赛) with his teammates. Their team would be travelling to Dallas and to College Station to compete. However, Grady’s family was too poor to send him. But the tournaments were an experience the young man didn’t want to miss out on. “It was hard for me to stay in sports,” Grady said. “It made me feel kind of sad, but I didn’t lose hope.” The 13-year-old and his father discussed ways that he could raise some money to attend. Then they decided to make tamales, a kind of local snack Grady brought them and a big cooler of iced waters to the crossing of Spencer and Underwood with a sign which read: “Water S1.00 a Bottle for World Series Baseball.” A teammate’s mother heard about what Grady was doing and stopped by to bring him a few extra boxes of water. A person who passed by noticed the teen selling waters and tamales to play baseball. He shared a photo of Grady online, and it got a lot of attention. “This boy is selling water to go to World Scries Baseball! Go Grady Ferranti! Comer of Spencer and Underwood ...” the post read. Many in Grady’s community saw the post and drove over to the street comer, and bought everything that he had to sell. Many encouraged him. “You are doing a really good job. You are going places,” one customer told him. A teacher of Grady’s also showed up to support his student. Grady ended up raising enough money to enter the baseball toumaments with his teammates, and had some extra money to get some new pieces of baseball gear (装备). Grady felt that he had succeeded with the help of his community. “Having them at my back makes me feel good,” said Grady. 24. Why was it hard for Grady to play in the baseball tournaments? A. He didn’t have rich experience. B. His family didn’t want to support him. C. He couldn’t cover the cost of travelling. D. He couldn’t play as well as his teammates. 25. How did Grady raise money? A. By making tamales for his neighbors. B By selling food and water on the street. C. By sharing his story online with others. D. By asking his teammates’ families for help. 26. Who helped Grady attract most of the customers? A. Grady’s father. B. A teammate’s mother. C. A stranger passing by. D. One of Grady’s teachers. 27. What does the underlined sentence “You are going places” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. You will have a bright future. B. You are travelling to many places. C. You need to leave for other places. D. You should sell things in more places. C The messages always start with something like, “Hey, I’m so sorry but…” Something has suddenly come up — a terrible headache or a pet cat having a problem. The person I have made plans with isn't going to make it. At this point I’m usually dressed, about to walk out the door, or even on my way. However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too. But over the past year, my friends and I have started to realize that people are flaking out more often. When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don’t show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?” Think of that person in your friend group who always can’t arrive on time. That may be more common among some personality types. For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. Another type is what psychologists (心理学家) call conscientiousness or responsibility. People who have no conscientiousness are bad at planning things or don’t follow through — in other words, flake out. Flaking out has got more common in the last decade. Research shows it’s just easier to flake out in the age of technology. Distance can allow people to lie to others. When you don’t want to follow the plan, it’s easier to send a message to someone to cancel the plan than to tell them over the phone. Being flaked out on in this way can make you feel that they are treating you as if you didn’t have thoughts or feelings. So next time someone flakes out by sending you a text message, you can turn to Gray, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina, who has something to share with you to help you deal with the situation. 28. Why does the author take no notice when others cancel the plan? A. They have made apologies. B. It doesn’t have any bad influences. C. Sometimes he has to do the same thing. D. The plan isn’t important and can be changed. 29. What is an example of flaking out according to the text? A. Sending a message to say sorry. B. Cancelling a plan with an excuse. C. Being late for a party on purpose. D. Dealing with other important things. 30. Which of the following can best describe the people who flake out? A. Busy and active. B. Lazy and dishonest. C. Careless and impatient D. Iresponsible and self-centred. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Influence of Flaking Out. B. How to Prevent Cancelling Plans. C. The Reasons for Flaking Out. D. How to Get Along with Others. D If you sit at a beach and look at the stars, you can see the sky suddenly light up and then the water in the sea tum a beautiful, electric blue! What you are seeing is a natural phenomenon (现象) known as bioluminescence (生物发光). Bioluminescence is the natural production of light by some animals. Trying to catch this phenomenon has in fact become a tourist attraction in places like New Zealand. Bioluminescence is produced by specific species of fish, squid, jellyfish, as well as fireflies. The light is caused by a chemical reaction (化学反应) within an animal's body. Animals can choose the brightness and the color of the light depending on whether they are running away from those trying to eat them, attracting a possible mate, or looking for food. The colors are usually a bright blue or green — this is because colors that have shorter wavelengths (波长) such as blue and green travel easily through the water. In the waters off the coast of New Zealand, plankton (浮游生物) produces neon-blue when it notices the coming of smaller fish that eat it Its light causes the waves to shine, the water to flash, and the fish to swim away as they swim through the ocean. It is important to research before visiting as bioluminescence cannot always be seen. The animals have a built-in sense of time that allows them to only shine in darkness. Also, wet weather increases the chance of bioluminescence taking place, as the water from the cloud provides something that makes bioluminescence to appear. On the other hand, too much wind can cause the animals to swim down deeper into water and swim away in different directions. Bioluminescent waves are truly one of the most unique and beautiful sights to see. They help us remember that there are many kinds of animals living on our planet and that we should protect them for future generations. 32. How will people probably feel when seeing bioluminescence in New Zealand? A. Frightened. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Encouraged. 33. What do we know about bioluminescence? A. Animals produce different colors of light in different situations. B. The colors with longer wavelengths move faster in the ocean. C. It was first noticed by travelers in places like New Zealand. D. Plankton produces neon-blue when it searches for food. 34. When can visitors have a better chance of seeing bioluminescence? A. On a windy morning. B. On a rainy morning. C. On a windy night. D. On a rainy night. 35. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To attract more visitors to New Zealand. B. To introduce sea animals in New Zealand. C. To call on us to protect rare sea animals. D To explain a unique natural phenomenon. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In summer, you may like taking lots of photos as you play outside, visit beaches and parks and have fun in the sun. ___36___.

He used to suffer a lot. He rarely discussed anything in and after class or interacted with his teachers. It seemed that he preferred to stay in his own world. However, his classmates didn’t understand his quietness or interests and often didn’t invite him to take part in activities on purpose. In reality, however, John felt very lonely and was eager to connect with others, but didn’t know how to break down the barriers. He was dying to turn to someone for help. Sadly, John’s parents were too busy with daily chores (家务) to notice the change in him as he became quieter and more distant. Even when John gathered his courage to share his feelings, he was simply comforted by words like, “Go and get it. We know you can do it.” However, John was totally confused about how to pull himself out of this current situation. Sometimes, at home, he had no choice but to play his favorite jigsaw (拼图) in silence and avoid interacting with his parents. Gradually, he began to wonder if he was doing something wrong or if he really wasn’t good at making friends. He felt sad and started not to communicate with others. Luckily, John’s English teacher noticed his trouble and decided to step in to help. The teacher organized a class project after a math test, which seemed quite challenging for most students, but not for John. The teacher required the students to work together in groups to solve the problems and then he would invite someone to present their critical ideas on behalf of (代表) the group. The teacher then intentionally placed John in a group that was likely to give him confidence and encouraged him to show his strengths. 注意： 1. 续写总词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 At first, John hesitated, unsure of how to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 At the end of the project, John formed new connections with his classmates. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年秋季期高一期末教学质量监测 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2. 答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将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，再选涂其它答案标号。 3. 答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4. 所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 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】 How is the woman feeling now?

My name is Tony Walters and I’m your guide for today. I’d like to remind you that any tickets bought today don’t include a visit to the reading rooms because we don’t do visits on Fridays. But if you do want to see those reading rooms, the only day there is on Sundays. Then we’ll start with a brief introduction. The library was first designed by Colin St. John Wilson, and opened its door to the public in 1997. As you can see, the size is large and the rooms below the ground have 746 kilometers of shelves. The total floor space is 112,000 square meters and it has 1,000 staff members in the building. It houses many important collections of books about every country, and those books cover almost 3,000 years. The library isn’t a public library and you can’t borrow any books, although most of those books are bought by the government. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The Hottest Peppers in the World The title of “hottest pepper (辣椒) in the world” is something that’s challenged more often than you may expect. Every year hot pepper cultivators (耕种者) find new ways to create peppers that will compete for the top position. Below we list the present hottest peppers based on expected median heat on the Scoville Scale (史高维尔指标，辣椒辣度的测量单位). Pepper X Pepper X was planted by the PuckerButt Pepper Company in the US. Measured at its max at 3.18 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), and officially measured at 2.69 million SHU in the Guinness Book of World Records, Pepper X truly outshines the previous record holder, the Carolina Reaper. Carolina Reaper The Carolina Reaper, also developed by the PuckerButt Pepper Company, hold the title of the world’s hottest pepper in the Guinness Book of World Records from 2013 to 2021. The pepper’s heat level reaches an average of 1.6 million SHU, with some individual peppers recorded at over 2.2 million SHU. Komodo Dragon The Komodo Dragon pepper is a fiery chili hailing from the UK. It’s renowned for its extreme heat between 1.4 million to 2.2 million SHU. The heat of the Komodo Dragon pepper is not immediate but builds up for 10 seconds before it unleashes its full potential. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion originates (起源于) from island country Trinidad and Tobago. Its heat measures from 1.2 to 2 million SHU. And it looks strange, with its scorpion (蝎子)-like stinger (刺) tail. This fiery pepper was even recognized as the world’s hottest pepper by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2012. 7 Pot Douglah The 7 Pot Douglah also originates from Trinidad and Tobago, ranging from 923,889 to 1,853,986 SHU. The pepper gets its name from the local belief and fact that one pod (豆荚) is enough to cook seven pots of stew (菜肴). Its dark brown color gives it a unique appearance among chili peppers. 21. The hottest pepper in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records in 2021 was ________. A. Pepper X B. Carolina Reaper C. Komodo Dragon D. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 22. What do Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and 7 Pot Douglah have in common? A. They both have the same SHU. B. They were both developed by the same company. C. They both originate from the Trinidad and Tobago. D. They were both recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research report B. A shopping advertisement. C. A travel brochure. D. A food magazine. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几款世界上最辣的辣椒。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Carolina Reaper部分中的“The Carolina Reaper, also developed by the PuckerButt Pepper Company, hold the title of the world’s hottest pepper in the Guinness Book of World Records from 2013 to 2021. (卡罗来纳死神辣椒，同样由PuckerButt Pepper Company开发，在2013年至2021年间保持着吉世界纪录中最辣辣椒的称号)”可知，根据2021年吉尼斯世界纪录，世界上最辣的胡椒是Carolina Reaper。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Trinidad Moruga Scorpion部分中的“The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion originates (起源于) from island country Trinidad and Tobago.(特立尼达莫鲁加蝎子原产于岛国特立尼达和多巴哥)”和7 Pot Douglah部分中的“The 7 Pot Douglah also originates from Trinidad and Tobago(7 Pot Douglah也起源于特立尼达和多巴哥)”可知，Trinidad Moruga Scorpion和7 Pot Douglah这两款辣椒的共同之处在于它们都起源于特立尼达和多巴哥。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据标题“The Hottest Peppers in the World(世界上最辣的辣椒)”和第一段“The title of “hottest pepper (辣椒) in the world” is something that’s challenged more often than you may expect. Every year hot pepper cultivators (耕种者) find new ways to create peppers that will compete for the top position. Below we list the present hottest peppers based on expected median heat on the Scoville Scale (史高维尔指标，辣椒辣度的测量单位).(“世界上最辣的辣椒”这个头衔的争夺战比你想象的要激烈。每年，辣椒种植者都会找到新的方法来能够争夺榜首的辣椒。根据斯科维尔指数的预期中位数，我们列出了目前最辣的辣椒)”可知，文章主要介绍了几款世界上最辣的辣椒。由此推知，文章可能选自一本食物杂志。故选D。 B Grady Ferranti, a middle school student from La Porte, Texas, wanted to play in the coming Youth World Series Baseball Tournaments (联赛) with his teammates. Their team would be travelling to Dallas and to College Station to compete. However, Grady’s family was too poor to send him. But the tournaments were an experience the young man didn’t want to miss out on. “It was hard for me to stay in sports,” Grady said. “It made me feel kind of sad, but I didn’t lose hope.” The 13-year-old and his father discussed ways that he could raise some money to attend. Then they decided to make tamales, a kind of local snack Grady brought them and a big cooler of iced waters to the crossing of Spencer and Underwood with a sign which read: “Water S1.00 a Bottle for World Series Baseball.” A teammate’s mother heard about what Grady was doing and stopped by to bring him a few extra boxes of water. A person who passed by noticed the teen selling waters and tamales to play baseball. He shared a photo of Grady online, and it got a lot of attention. “This boy is selling water to go to World Scries Baseball! Go Grady Ferranti! Comer of Spencer and Underwood ...” the post read. Many in Grady’s community saw the post and drove over to the street comer, and bought everything that he had to sell. Many encouraged him. “You are doing a really good job. You are going places,” one customer told him. A teacher of Grady’s also showed up to support his student. Grady ended up raising enough money to enter the baseball toumaments with his teammates, and had some extra money to get some new pieces of baseball gear (装备). Grady felt that he had succeeded with the help of his community. “Having them at my back makes me feel good,” said Grady. 24. Why was it hard for Grady to play in the baseball tournaments? A. He didn’t have rich experience. B. His family didn’t want to support him. C. He couldn’t cover the cost of travelling. D. He couldn’t play as well as his teammates. 25. How did Grady raise money? A. By making tamales for his neighbors. B. By selling food and water on the street. C. By sharing his story online with others. D. By asking his teammates’ families for help. 26. Who helped Grady attract most of the customers? A. Grady’s father. B. A teammate’s mother. C. A stranger passing by. D. One of Grady’s teachers. 27. What does the underlined sentence “You are going places” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. You will have a bright future. B. You are travelling to many places. C. You need to leave for other places. D. You should sell things in more places. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位来自德克萨斯州拉波特的中学生Grady Ferranti为了参加即将到来的世界青年棒球系列赛，与父亲一起通过卖水和玉米卷筹钱的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, Grady’s family was too poor to send him.(然而，Grady的家庭经济条件太差，无法送他去参赛。)”可知，Grady的家庭太穷，无法送他去参赛，即他无法支付旅行费用。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Then they decided to make tamales, a kind of local snack Grady brought them and a big cooler of iced waters to the crossing of Spencer and Underwood with a sign which read: “Water S1.00 a Bottle for World Series Baseball.”(随后，他们决定制作玉米粉蒸肉，这是当地的一种小吃。Grady带着这些小吃和一大箱冰水，来到斯宾塞街和安德伍德街的十字路口，还举着一块牌子，上面写着：“为参加世界系列棒球赛，水1美元一瓶。”)”可知，Grady通过在街上卖小吃和水来筹钱。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A person who passed by noticed the teen selling waters and tamales to play baseball. He shared a photo of Grady online, and it got a lot of attention.(一位路过的人注意到这个少年为了参加棒球比赛在卖水和玉米粉蒸肉，便在网上分享了一张Grady的照片，这张照片引起了广泛关注。)”可知，一位路过的陌生人将Grady的照片分享到网上，从而引起了很多关注，吸引了大部分顾客。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。“You are going places”是一种鼓励的表达，再根据上文的“You are doing a really good job.(你做得非常棒！)”可以推断，这里是说Grady做得好，前途光明。故选A。 C The messages always start with something like, “Hey, I’m so sorry but…” Something has suddenly come up — a terrible headache or a pet cat having a problem. The person I have made plans with isn't going to make it. At this point I’m usually dressed, about to walk out the door, or even on my way. However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too. But over the past year, my friends and I have started to realize that people are flaking out more often. When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don’t show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?” Think of that person in your friend group who always can’t arrive on time. That may be more common among some personality types. For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. Another type is what psychologists (心理学家) call conscientiousness or responsibility. People who have no conscientiousness are bad at planning things or don’t follow through — in other words, flake out. Flaking out has got more common in the last decade. Research shows it’s just easier to flake out in the age of technology. Distance can allow people to lie to others. When you don’t want to follow the plan, it’s easier to send a message to someone to cancel the plan than to tell them over the phone. Being flaked out on in this way can make you feel that they are treating you as if you didn’t have thoughts or feelings. So next time someone flakes out by sending you a text message, you can turn to Gray, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina, who has something to share with you to help you deal with the situation. 28. Why does the author take no notice when others cancel the plan? A. They have made apologies. B. It doesn’t have any bad influences. C. Sometimes he has to do the same thing. D. The plan isn’t important and can be changed. 29. What is an example of flaking out according to the text? A. Sending a message to say sorry. B. Cancelling a plan with an excuse. C Being late for a party on purpose. D. Dealing with other important things. 30. Which of the following can best describe the people who flake out? A. Busy and active. B. Lazy and dishonest. C. Careless and impatient D. Iresponsible and self-centred. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Influence of Flaking Out. B. How to Prevent Cancelling Plans. C. The Reasons for Flaking Out. D. How to Get Along with Others. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普遍存在的食言现象，并分析了这种现象出现的原因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too.(但是，我通常不在乎。有时我也必须取消计划。)”可知，作者不在乎别人取消了计划，是因为作者有时候也不得不取消计划，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don't show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?”(当人们爽约——在最后一刻取消计划或者干脆不出现时，我们脑海中浮现的第一个问题是“为什么？”或者“是不是有更大的事情？”)”可知，faking out指的是以借口取消计划，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don't show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?”(当人们爽约——在最后一刻取消计划或者干脆不出现时，我们脑海中浮现的第一个问题是“为什么？”或者“是不是有更大的事情？”)”可知，食言的人在最后一刻取消计划，这说明他们不可靠，没有责任感的；根据第三段“For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. (对于这些人来说，他们似乎对别人的感受几乎没有意义。)”可知，食言的人不考虑他人感受，所以说他们是以自我为中心的，故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先指出食言的现象普遍存在，然后介绍了产生这种现象的两个原因：即一个人的性格类型和科技时代下人们更容易找借口，由此可知，C项“食言的原因”适合作文章标题，故选C。 D If you sit at a beach and look at the stars, you can see the sky suddenly light up and then the water in the sea tum a beautiful, electric blue! What you are seeing is a natural phenomenon (现象) known as bioluminescence (生物发光). Bioluminescence is the natural production of light by some animals. Trying to catch this phenomenon has in fact become a tourist attraction in places like New Zealand. Bioluminescence is produced by specific species of fish squid, jellyfish, as well as fireflies. The light is caused by a chemical reaction (化学反应) within an animal's body. Animals can choose the brightness and the color of the light depending on whether they are running away from those trying to eat them, attracting a possible mate, or looking for food. The colors are usually a bright blue or green — this is because colors that have shorter wavelengths (波长) such as blue and green travel easily through the water. In the waters off the coast of New Zealand, plankton (浮游生物) produces neon-blue when it notices the coming of smaller fish that eat it Its light causes the waves to shine, the water to flash, and the fish to swim away as they swim through the ocean. It is important to research before visiting as bioluminescence cannot always be seen. The animals have a built-in sense of time that allows them to only shine in darkness. Also, wet weather increases the chance of bioluminescence taking place, as the water from the cloud provides something that makes bioluminescence to appear. On the other hand, too much wind can cause the animals to swim down deeper into water and swim away in different directions. Bioluminescent waves are truly one of the most unique and beautiful sights to see. They help us remember that there are many kinds of animals living on our planet and that we should protect them for future generations. 32. How will people probably feel when seeing bioluminescence in New Zealand? A. Frightened. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Encouraged. 33. What do we know about bioluminescence? A. Animals produce different colors of light in different situations. B. The colors with longer wavelengths move faster in the ocean. C. It was first noticed by travelers in places like New Zealand. D. Plankton produces neon-blue when it searches for food. 34. When can visitors have a better chance of seeing bioluminescence? A. On a windy morning. B. On a rainy morning. C. On a windy night. D. On a rainy night. 35. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To attract more visitors to New Zealand. B. To introduce sea animals in New Zealand. C. To call on us to protect rare sea animals. D. To explain a unique natural phenomenon. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种生物发光的自然现象。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Bioluminescence is the natural production of light by some animals. Trying to catch this phenomenon has in fact become a tourist attraction in places like New Zealand.(生物发光是一些动物自然产生的光。试图捕捉这一现象实际上已成为新西兰等地的旅游景点)”可知，在新西兰观看发光的生物成为了旅游项目。由此可推知，当人们看到这一现象时会很惊讶。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Animals can choose the brightness and the color of the light depending on whether they are running away from those trying to eat them, attracting a possible mate, or looking for food. (动物可以根据是否在逃避捕食者、吸引潜在配偶或寻找食物来选择光的亮度和颜色)”可知，在不同情况下，动物会产生不同颜色的光。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据地四段中“The animals have a built-in sense of time that allows them to only shine in darkness. Also, wet weather increases the chance of bioluminescence taking place, as the water from the cloud provides something that makes bioluminescence to appear. (动物具有内在的时间感，使它们只能在黑暗中闪耀。同样，潮湿的天气增加了发生生物发光的机会，因为云中的水提供了使生物发光出现的东西)”可知，这些动物只在黑暗中发光，且潮湿的天气增加了发生生物发光的机会。由此可知，在雨夜，游客们有更好的机会看到生物发光。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“If you sit at a beach and look at the stars, you can see the sky suddenly light up and then the water in the sea tum a beautiful, electric blue! What you are seeing is a natural phenomenon ( 现象) known as bioluminescence (生物发光). Bioluminescence is the natural production of light by some animals. Trying to catch this phenomenon has in fact become a tourist attraction in places like New Zealand.(如果你坐在海滩上看星星，你会看到天空突然亮起来，然后在海肿块中的水是美丽的电蓝色！你所看到的是一种自然现象，称为生物发光）。生物发光是某些动物的自然产生。实际上，试图捕捉这种现象已成为新西兰等地方的旅游胜地)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种生物发光的自然现象。由此推知，这篇文章的目的是为了解释一种独特的自然现象。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In summer, you may like taking lots of photos as you play outside, visit beaches and parks and have fun in the sun. ___36___.

He rarely discussed anything in and after class or interacted with his teachers. It seemed that he preferred to stay in his own world. However, his classmates didn’t understand his quietness or interests and often didn’t invite him to take part in activities on purpose. In reality, however, John felt very lonely and was eager to connect with others, but didn’t know how to break down the barriers. He was dying to turn to someone for help. Sadly, John’s parents were too busy with daily chores (家务) to notice the change in him as he became quieter and more distant. Even when John gathered his courage to share his feelings, he was simply comforted by words like, “Go and get it. We know you can do it.” However, John was totally confused about how to pull himself out of this current situation. Sometimes, at home, he had no choice but to play his favorite jigsaw (拼图) in silence and avoid interacting with his parents. Gradually, he began to wonder if he was doing something wrong or if he really wasn’t good at making friends. He felt sad and started not to communicate with others. Luckily, John’s English teacher noticed his trouble and decided to step in to help. The teacher organized a class project after a math test, which seemed quite challenging for most students, but not for John. The teacher required the students to work together in groups to solve the problems and then he would invite someone to present their critical ideas on behalf of (代表) the group. The teacher then intentionally placed John in a group that was likely to give him confidence and encouraged him to show his strengths. 注意： 1. 续写总词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 At first, John hesitated, unsure of how to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 At the end of the project, John formed new connections with his classmates. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At first, John hesitated, unsure of how to help. Nervous but excited, he was afraid of expressing his ideas, yet eager to engage. However, as the group began discussing the project, he found himself knowing how to solve the problems other struggled with. Then bravely he talked with group members and his insights were invaluable to the team. Gradually, his classmates started to take notice of his talents and began asking for his ideas. Seeing the joyful expressions on his classmates’ faces, John started to feel less isolated and a wave of confidence swept over him. At the end of the project, John formed new connections with his classmates. They invited him to join more group activities, and he no longer felt so distant. Instead, he became more outgoing and started participating actively in class. This newfound sense of belonging and encouragement gave him the confidence to open more. Finally, John realized that his journey from loneliness to friendship taught him the importance of taking the first step confidently. Sometimes, all it takes us is someone who supports and encourages you. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个内向的男孩John不懂得如何与人交往，在学校总是独来独往，从而受到了同学们的孤立，而父母也因家务繁忙，无暇顾及他的需求，他感到孤独和苦恼。幸运的是，他的英语老师注意到了他的处境，组织了班级活动来帮助他，而John在这个活动中不仅找到了自信，也和同学们建立了友谊，走出了困境。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，John犹豫了一下，不知道该怎么帮忙。”可知，第一段可描写John在活动中如何帮助同学们解决问题，得到了同学们的认可，找到了自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“在项目结束时，John与同学们建立了新的联系。”可知，第二段可描写活动后John和同学们的改变，以及John的感悟。 2. 续写线索：犹豫、无措——担忧又渴望加入——发现了自己的能力、加入讨论——同学们的认可——感到了自信和融入——与同学建立联系——彼此的改变——有了自信、变得更加开朗——感悟——点明主题 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①参加：engage/participate ②解决：solve/tackle ③注意到：take notice of/notice/spot ④鼓励、激励：encourage/inspire 情绪类： ①渴望的：eager/desired ②高兴的：joyful/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, as the group began discussing the project, he found himself knowing how to solve the problems other struggled with.（运用了以连词as引导的时间状语从句和省略了关系代词的定语从句。） 【高分句型2】Finally, John realized that his journey from loneliness to friendship taught him the importance of taking the first step confidently.（运用了以连接词that引导的宾语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
