(Chicago正在庆祝其在百老汇演出的第28个年头，该剧灵感源自Bob Fosse的1975年原版作品中的创作，音乐由John Kander和Fred Ebb.共同谱写)”可知，两者的共同点是它们都基于著名作品。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Looking for amazing discounts on Broadway shows this Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says. Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm. Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds. For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says. “Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry. What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said. 4. What similarity Marco Kwok and Agnes Lo share in voluntary work? A. Their own professions offer much help. B. They mainly focus on traditional cultures. C. They’re the key members of the program. D. They gain some new insights from the work. 5. What does volunteering mean to Agnes Tam? A. It allows her to relive her childhood memories. B. It gives her a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment. C. It provides opportunities to engage with new people. D. It helps her learn more about Hong Kong’s traditions. 6. What can be inferred from Cheng’s words in the last two paragraphs? A. The program expects more volunteers to join. B. The city’s boom counts on developing tourism. C. They go to great lengths to promote the city’s image. D. The program is decisive in boosting the city’s tourism. 7. What’s the suitable title of the text? A. Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts. B. Hong Kong’s tourism: the focus of cultural awareness. C. Hong Kong culture: the hidden treasure worth exploring. D. Hong Kong’s volunteers: the group from all walks of life. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了香港“香港之友”计划中的志愿者们通过分享本地文化和经验，促进旅游业并加深游客对香港的了解。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Kwok所说““As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says.(他说：“作为一名文化大使，我不仅向游客提供重要信息，还从他们的背景中学习，然后与我的朋友和家人分享。”)”以及第五段中Agnes Lo所说““I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says.(她说：“我对这个传统有了更多的了解，很高兴能与游客分享。”)”可知，Marco Kwok和Agnes Lo在志愿者工作中都能从中获得一些新的见解。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds.(虽然退休后的生活很忙碌，但Tam喜欢做志愿者。她补充道：“这不仅丰富了我的生活，也给了我一种目标感和幸福感。”)”可知，志愿活动给Agnes Tam带来了满足感和快乐。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Bakky Cheng所说““Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board.(香港旅游发展局游客服务总监Bakky Cheng表示：“在过去的14年里，我们的志愿者贡献了近70000小时的服务。”)”以及最后一段中““Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said.(程说：“通过全面的培训，我们确保每一位志愿者都了解最新的旅游趋势，掌握热情好客的艺术，这样他们就可以向世界讲述一个更好的香港故事。”)”可知，志愿者们付出了大量的时间，并通过全面的培训来确保他们掌握最新的旅游趋势和待客之道，以便向世界讲述一个更好的香港故事。由此可推知，他们在竭尽全力地推广城市的形象。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says.(他说：“作为一名文化大使，我不仅向游客提供重要信息，还从他们的背景中学习，然后与我的朋友和家人分享。”)”以及第四段中Agnes Tam帮助一位老人重温童年记忆的经历可知，文章主要讲述了香港“香港之友”计划中的志愿者们作为文化大使，不仅向游客提供重要信息，还从他们的背景中学习，然后与朋友和家人分享，加深了游客对香港的了解，促进了文化的交流，因此A选项“Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts.(香港之友：文化与心灵的桥梁)”作为标题最合适。故选A。 C Extreme heat puts stress on everyone’s bodies. In recent years, scientists have homed in on the risks heat poses to older people, whose bodies become more sensitive to heat with increasing age. But a new study in the journal Science Advances suggests that there is another group at risk, and one that gets less attention. “Young people are subject to heat disproportionately (不成比例),” says Andrew Wilson, an author of the new analysis. The study, which focused on Mexico, found that people under 35 made up three-quarters of the country’s deaths related to heat in recent decades, with risks concentrated amongst children under 4 years old and young adults from 18 to 35. That percentage is likely to increase in the future as human-caused climate change increases the number of sticky, humid heat days in the country. The warming climate will also drive a drop in deaths related to cold weather, the study finds, at the same time as heat-related deaths rise. The study predicts that overall, deaths influenced by temperatures will drop within Mexico. But who is dying will likely change. The study finds that in the past, temperature-related deaths have been concentrated among seniors and driven mostly by cold weather. In a hotter world, the burden of temperature-related deaths is likely to shift toward younger people. The result is “a really surprising inequality across age groups,” says Wilson. “The results underline the complexity of temperature-related deaths in a changing climate,” says Tamma Carleton, an environmental economist, who was not involved with the study. In many mid-latitude and northern regions, the number of overall deaths from extreme temperatures is projected to drop. But in places that are already hot, deaths from heat are projected to rise. “In some places of the world we’re going to see net increases under warming because those heat increases are going to overpower declines on the cold side,” she says. “But it is a dance that can look very different in different regions of the world.” And the impacts, Carleton says, are generally much greater in countries that have historically contributed the least to human-driven climate change. 8. What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” probably mean? A. Met accidentally. B. Overlooked easily. C. Focused on intently. D. Addressed successfully. 9. How are paragraph 3 and 4 developed? A. By stating the process. B. By listing examples. C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By making comparisons. 10. Which one is true regarding temperature-related deaths? A. Fewer people may die of cold while heat-related deaths will increase. B. The total number of temperature-related deaths will increase globally. C. There will be a significant drop in overall deaths due to climate change. D. Younger people will be less affected by temperature changes than seniors. 11. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A The risks of cold weather to seniors. B. The reasons for the temperature change. C. The suggestions for the risk-related group. D. The impacts of extreme temperature on population. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了极端高温对不同年龄段人群死亡风险的影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Extreme heat puts stress on everyone’s bodies. (酷热会给每个人的身体带来压力)”以及划线单词所在的句子“whose bodies become more sensitive to heat with increasing age (随着年龄的增长，他们的身体对热变得更加敏感)”可知，极端高温对每个人的身体都有影响，而随着年龄的增长，老人的身体对热变得更加敏感，所以近年来科学家们把研究重点放在了高温对老年人的危害上。划线短语homed in on为“密切关注，专注于”。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The study, which focused on Mexico, found that people under 35 made up three-quarters of the country’s deaths related to heat in recent decades, with risks concentrated amongst children under 4 years old and young adults from 18 to 35 (这项以墨西哥为重点的研究发现，近几十年来，35岁以下人群占该国与高温相关死亡的3/4，风险主要集中在4岁以下儿童和18至35岁年轻人身上)”以及第四段中“The warming climate will also drive a drop in deaths related to cold weather, the study finds, at the same time as heat-related deaths rise. (研究发现，气候变暖也将导致与寒冷天气相关的死亡人数减少，同时与高温相关的死亡人数增加)”可知，第三段指出在墨西哥35岁以下人群在近几十年与高温相关的死亡中占比四分之三，且未来这一比例可能因气候变化上升；第四段将过去与温度相关的死亡主要集中在老年人且多由寒冷天气导致，与未来可能因气候变暖，与温度相关的死亡负担向年轻人转移作对比。所以这两段是通过对比展开的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The warming climate will also drive a drop in deaths related to cold weather, the study finds, at the same time as heat-related deaths rise. (研究发现，气候变暖也将导致与寒冷天气相关的死亡人数减少，同时与高温相关的死亡人数增加)”可知，研究发现气候变暖会使与寒冷天气相关的死亡人数下降，同时与高温相关的死亡人数上升。故选 A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““But it is a dance that can look very different in different regions of the world.” And the impacts, Carleton says, are generally much greater in countries that have historically contributed the least to human-driven climate change. (“但这种情况在全球不同地区的表现可能会大不相同。”卡尔顿还表示，从历史上看，对人为气候变化贡献最小的国家，所受影响通常要大得多)”可知，且在历史上对人为气候变化贡献最小的国家影响更大，结合第四段提到在世界上一些地方，由于高温导致的死亡增加将超过寒冷导致的死亡减少推知，接下来很可能针对这些面临风险的群体给出建议。故选C。 D Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most attractive and exciting jobs. Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. This isn’t the first time that technology has changed the rules of the fame game. People started talking about stars in the 18th century when the widespread access to reading materials made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, artists and entertainment professionals are worrying once more that their fame will be reduced — and again, the outcome is likely to be the opposite. These opportunities come with conditions attached. Artists are right to worry about copyright, which must be protected if AI is not to become a legalised form of piracy. Until these copyright concerns are addressed, AI will be a legal Wild West. The bigger question is how the age of the all-around superstar will appeal to audiences. The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. Yet the entertainment market is highly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn a hot hit into a has-been one in an instant, as stars are all too aware. While AI-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to enjoy human drama. Sport, perhaps the most AI-proof, real-life event there is, has seen its value to media companies rise in recent years. 12 What is the primary concern of stars in paragraph 1? A. The inability to master AI. B. The low level of their acting skills. C. The decline in their popularity. D. The improvement of audience’s taste. 13. Why does the author mention “film, radio and television”? A. To show the difficulties facing the stars then. B. To prove the techno-panic is common in history. C. To confirm AI will surely come into every family. D. To predict the trend of the technological development. 14. How can superstars attract audience according to the text? A. By avoiding the use of AI. B. By cooperating with directors. C. By learning more advanced technologies. D. By improving content creation. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The era of AI is around the corner. B. AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry. C. AI makes stars worried and audience demanding. D. AI is more of a helper than an imagined threat to stars. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了AI对明星和娱乐行业的影响，指出尽管明星们担心AI会威胁他们的地位，但实际上AI将使他们更加出名，因为它能让明星无处不在。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. (明星们可能会担心，AI正在窃取他们的工作，并让那些才华稍逊的表演者获得技能，从而抢走他们的观众)”可知，明星们的主要担忧是受欢迎程度的下降。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. (电影和广播最初似乎对明星构成了威胁，他们担心自己的现场表演会因此贬值。然而事实上，这些技术开启了超级明星的时代，这一术语在20世纪20年代开始流行。电视的发明也引发了类似的担忧。但再一次，新技术使名人更加出名，将他们带入了每个家庭的客厅)”可知，电影、广播和电视这些新技术出现时，也被明星视为威胁，但最终却使明星更加出名。因此，作者提到这些技术是为了证明技术恐慌在历史上是常见的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. (AI在重新混合和重复旧材料方面非常出色，但在创造令人兴奋的内容方面却不太擅长，而目前这仍然是人类的专长)”可知，超级明星可以通过提高内容创作来吸引观众。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. (事实上，对新科技抱怨最强烈的人恰恰是那些最有可能从中受益的人。AI不仅不会削弱明星的影响力，反而会让那些最大的明星变得比以往更加耀眼，因为它使他们能够随时随地出现在所有市场和各类媒体中)”可知，文章主要讨论了AI对明星的影响，指出AI不仅不会削弱明星的力量，反而会扩大明星的影响力。因此，对于明星而言，AI更像是一个帮手，而不是想象中的威胁。故选D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。 Kien Vuu, a longevity (长寿) doctor, thinks about how his childhood love for singing shaped his life. Despite becoming a doctor, he continues to make time for karaoke (卡拉OK), believing doing what he really loves is important for physical and mental health. ____16____ It’s a point to be explored shortly. ____17____ Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly all hobbies can provide a lot of positive health benefits. The science backs this up. A 2023 meta-analysis found strong evidence that leisure (休闲的) activities can protect against heart disease and age-related issues like pain and disability. Besides improving physical health, hobbies improve the ability of the brain’s neural (神经的) networks to change, adapt and make new connections. ____18____ This could be the cause of how hobbies make use of the brain’s flexibility, fostering new neural connections that enhance abilities beyond the specific skill itself. Basically, humans seek meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ____19____ It provides direction and a sense of achievement. Engaging in hobbies, especially those done in groups, helps build community, establish connections and strengthen bonds, all contributing to a greater sense of purpose and belonging. While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time, not all hobbies are equal in promoting health and happiness. Whether you seek physical activity, mental inspiration, or community, the key is to find activities that truly bring joy. Avoid passive pastimes, like too much screen time, which often leave you feeling worse. ____20____ Now it’s your turn: Go find the thing that lights you up and do more of it. A. Following your likes is key to satisfying this need. B. It also stresses the need to balance work and leisure. C. People who play a musical instrument often do better in math. D. A widespread myth is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time. E. This supports the idea that hobbies can bring us benefits in many aspects. F. Rather, choose hobbies that challenge your physical strength and mental focus. G. Instead, aim for hobbies that offer both short-term pleasure and long-term benefits. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出爱好可以给我们带来多方面的好处，并建议找到真正能带来快乐的活动，投身其中，让自己长期受益。 【16题详解】 前文“Despite becoming a doctor, he continues to make time for karaoke (卡拉OK), believing doing what he really loves is important for physical and mental health. (尽管成为了一名医生，他仍然会抽出时间去唱卡拉OK，他相信做自己真正喜欢的事情对身心健康都很重要)”提到Kien Vuu坚持个人爱好，相信保持爱好对身心健康很重要，后文“It’s a point to be explored shortly. (这一点将在稍后探讨)”表明后面的段落将探讨空处提出的内容，因此E项“This supports the idea that hobbies can bring us benefits in many aspects. (这支持了爱好可以给我们带来多方面好处的观点)”符合语境，引出爱好有很多好处的观点，承前启后，选项的This指代前一句中Kien Vuu相信的内容，同时后一句中的It指代选项中的观点。故选E。 17题详解】 后文“Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly all hobbies can provide a lot of positive health benefits. (事实上，事实远非如此。几乎所有的爱好都对健康有益)”表明空处涉及的内容与爱好相关，且是错误的观点，因此D项“A widespread myth is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time. (一个普遍的误解是从事爱好是浪费时间)”符合语境，指出从事爱好是浪费时间的观点有误，适合作为段首句引出后文。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“Besides improving physical health, hobbies improve the ability of the brain’s neural (神经的) networks to change, adapt and make new connections. (除了改善身体健康，爱好还能提高大脑神经网络改变、适应和建立新连接的能力)”指出爱好能促进大脑发展新连接，因此C项“People who play a musical instrument often do better in math. (演奏乐器的人通常在数学方面表现更好)”符合语境，是一个具体的例子，说明音乐方面的爱好增强了大脑在数学方面的表现，是对前文的例证。故选C。 【19题详解】 前文“Basically, humans seek meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. (基本上，人类追求意义，即能给他们带来目标感的事物)”提到人类追求意义的需求，后文“It provides direction and a sense of achievement. (它提供了方向和成就感)”指出某事物有提供方向和成就感的作用，因此A项“Following your likes is key to satisfying this need. (追随自己的喜好是满足这种需求的关键)”符合语境，点明爱好在满足人类追求意义的需求上的重要性，承接前文，后文是对其解释，选项的this need指代前一句中的seek meaning，同时Following your likes是后一句中It指代的对象。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Avoid passive pastimes, like too much screen time, which often leave you feeling worse. (避免被动的消遣方式，比如过多的屏幕时间，这通常会让你感觉更糟)”提醒应避免被动的消遣，因此G项“Instead, aim for hobbies that offer both short-term pleasure and long-term benefits.

The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden light over the street. As she worked, her eyes fell on a big black-and-white cat near a waste bin behind her shop. Unlike the usual stray cats (流浪猫) she sometimes saw, this one appeared well-fed, with a glossy coat and bright, curious eyes. The cat trotted up to her without hesitation, as if he knew she was there to help. Holly bent down and gently petted him, feeling the warmth of his fur. It was clear this was no stray; the cat seemed too well cared for to have wandered off on his own. Holly felt a tug at her heart, knowing that someone must be missing this cat. She brought him inside, gave him food and water, and she also noticed the collar with a faded tag, a sign that he had a home. Meanwhile, Jamie McCall was heartbroken. Her beloved cat, Tucker, had gone missing the day before during a stop at a small hotel. Tucker had been more than just a pet to Jamie; he had been a source of comfort after the tragic losses she had suffered in the past two years. First, she had lost her husband of 43 years to cancer, then her grandson to violence. A workplace accident had left her partially disabled, and life had seemed to turn upside down. Through it all, Tucker had been her lifeline, offering companionship and love. After searching for hours without success, Jamie had no choice but to leave the hotel, heartbroken and fearing the worst for Tucker. And he didn’t know a good Samaritan was doing something to bring Tucker back to him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost-pet groups, hoping to find its owner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost pet groups, hoping to find its owner. She also included a detailed description of the cat and the place where she found him. Every few hours, she would check the messages, full of anticipation. Days passed, and there were many responses, but none of them were from the real owner. Holly didn’t give up. She contacted local veterinarians and animal shelters, providing them with the cat’s information. One day, a message came from Jamie. She was overjoyed as she read Jamie’s description of Tucker, which perfectly matched the cat in her shop. They quickly arranged a meeting to confirm if it was really Tucker. Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. Holly brought the cat outside the shop, waiting for Jamie. When Jamie arrived, she saw the cat at a glance. Tears welled up in her eyes as she rushed forward. The cat seemed to recognize Jamie too, meowing softly and rubbing against her legs. Jamie hugged Tucker tightly, thanking Holly again and again. Holly was touched by the reunion. She knew that she had done a good deed, bringing back Jamie’s source of comfort. From that day on, Jamie and Holly became good friends, and Tucker continued to be Jamie’s most beloved companion, filling her life with love once more. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一只猫展开，Holly在店外发现一只看似有家的猫，将其带回。与此同时，Jamie的爱猫Tucker走失，她伤心不已，而Holly正努力帮猫寻找主人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“霍利把猫的照片发布在当地的寻宠群组里，希望能找到它的主人。”可知，第一段可描写霍利积极采取多种方式寻找猫主人，虽过程曲折但最终收到了Jamie的消息并安排见面。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于到了他们约定见面的日子。”可知，第二段可描写见面时Jamie与猫相认的感人场景，以及Holly看到他们团聚的感触，还有后续他们的关系变化。 2. 续写线索：发布照片寻主——收到Jamie消息——安排见面——Jamie与猫相认——两人成为朋友 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①流逝：pass/elapse ②提供：provide/offer ③冲：rush/dash ④拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①欣喜的：overjoyed/delighted ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] She also included a detailed description of the cat and the place where she found him.(运用了关系副词where引导限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] She was overjoyed as she read Jamie’s description of Tucker, which perfectly matched the cat in her shop.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句和关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] The cat seemed to recognize Jamie too, meowing softly and rubbing against her legs.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024~2025 学年度第一学期期末学业质量监测试卷 高二英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1.本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2.答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3.请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4.作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂 其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位 置作答一律无效。 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） 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，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.

B When he puts aside his suits after long hours of work as a financial professional, Hong Kong resident Marco Kwok happily embraces another identity: a host to visitors from around the world. As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says. Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm. Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds. For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says. “Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry. What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said. 4. What similarity Marco Kwok and Agnes Lo share in voluntary work? A. Their own professions offer much help. B. They mainly focus on traditional cultures. C. They’re the key members of the program. D. They gain some new insights from the work. 5. What does volunteering mean to Agnes Tam? A. It allows her to relive her childhood memories. B. It gives her a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment. C. It provides opportunities to engage with new people. D. It helps her learn more about Hong Kong’s traditions. 6. What can be inferred from Cheng’s words in the last two paragraphs? A. The program expects more volunteers to join. B. The city’s boom counts on developing tourism. C. They go to great lengths to promote the city’s image. D. The program is decisive in boosting the city’s tourism. 7 What’s the suitable title of the text? A. Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts. B. Hong Kong’s tourism: the focus of cultural awareness. C. Hong Kong culture: the hidden treasure worth exploring. D. Hong Kong’s volunteers: the group from all walks of life. C Extreme heat puts stress on everyone’s bodies. In recent years, scientists have homed in on the risks heat poses to older people, whose bodies become more sensitive to heat with increasing age. But a new study in the journal Science Advances suggests that there is another group at risk, and one that gets less attention. “Young people are subject to heat disproportionately (不成比例),” says Andrew Wilson, an author of the new analysis. The study, which focused on Mexico, found that people under 35 made up three-quarters of the country’s deaths related to heat in recent decades, with risks concentrated amongst children under 4 years old and young adults from 18 to 35. That percentage is likely to increase in the future as human-caused climate change increases the number of sticky, humid heat days in the country. The warming climate will also drive a drop in deaths related to cold weather, the study finds, at the same time as heat-related deaths rise. The study predicts that overall, deaths influenced by temperatures will drop within Mexico. But who is dying will likely change. The study finds that in the past, temperature-related deaths have been concentrated among seniors and driven mostly by cold weather. In a hotter world, the burden of temperature-related deaths is likely to shift toward younger people. The result is “a really surprising inequality across age groups” says Wilson. “The results underline the complexity of temperature-related deaths in a changing climate,” says Tamma Carleton, an environmental economist, who was not involved with the study. In many mid-latitude and northern regions, the number of overall deaths from extreme temperatures is projected to drop. But in places that are already hot, deaths from heat are projected to rise. “In some places of the world we’re going to see net increases under warming because those heat increases are going to overpower declines on the cold side,” she says. “But it is a dance that can look very different in different regions of the world.” And the impacts, Carleton says, are generally much greater in countries that have historically contributed the least to human-driven climate change. 8. What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” probably mean? A. Met accidentally. B. Overlooked easily. C. Focused on intently. D. Addressed successfully. 9. How are paragraph 3 and 4 developed? A. By stating the process. B. By listing examples. C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By making comparisons. 10. Which one is true regarding temperature-related deaths? A. Fewer people may die of cold while heat-related deaths will increase. B. The total number of temperature-related deaths will increase globally. C. There will be a significant drop in overall deaths due to climate change. D. Younger people will be less affected by temperature changes than seniors. 11. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. The risks of cold weather to seniors. B. The reasons for the temperature change. C. The suggestions for the risk-related group. D. The impacts of extreme temperature on population. D Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most attractive and exciting jobs. Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience. In fact, the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most. Far from weakening star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets, in all types of media, at all times. This isn’t the first time that technology has changed the rules of the fame game. People started talking about stars in the 18th century when the widespread access to reading materials made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars, who worried their live performances would be devalued. In fact, those technologies started the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s. A similar worry greeted the invention of television. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room. As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, artists and entertainment professionals are worrying once more that their fame will be reduced — and again, the outcome is likely to be the opposite. These opportunities come with conditions attached. Artists are right to worry about copyright, which must be protected if AI is not to become a legalised form of piracy. Until these copyright concerns are addressed, AI will be a legal Wild West. The bigger question is how the age of the all-around superstar will appeal to audiences. The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that, for now, remains a human specialty. Yet the entertainment market is highly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn a hot hit into a has-been one in an instant, as stars are all too aware. While AI-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to enjoy human drama. Sport, perhaps the most AI-proof, real-life event there is, has seen its value to media companies rise in recent years. 12. What is the primary concern of stars in paragraph 1? A. The inability to master AI. B. The low level of their acting skills. C. The decline in their popularity. D. The improvement of audience’s taste. 13. Why does the author mention “film, radio and television”? A. To show the difficulties facing the stars then. B. To prove the techno-panic is common in history. C. To confirm AI will surely come into every family. D. To predict the trend of the technological development. 14. How can superstars attract audience according to the text? A. By avoiding the use of AI. B. By cooperating with directors. C. By learning more advanced technologies. D. By improving content creation. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The era of AI is around the corner. B. AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry. C. AI makes stars worried and audience demanding. D. AI is more of a helper than an imagined threat to stars. 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。 Kien Vuu, a longevity (长寿) doctor, thinks about how his childhood love for singing shaped his life. Despite becoming a doctor, he continues to make time for karaoke (卡拉OK), believing doing what he really loves is important for physical and mental health. ____16____ It’s a point to be explored shortly. ____17____ Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly all hobbies can provide a lot of positive health benefits. The science backs this up. A 2023 meta-analysis found strong evidence that leisure (休闲的) activities can protect against heart disease and age-related issues like pain and disability. Besides improving physical health, hobbies improve the ability of the brain’s neural (神经的) networks to change, adapt and make new connections. ____18____ This could be the cause of how hobbies make use of the brain’s flexibility, fostering new neural connections that enhance abilities beyond the specific skill itself. Basically, humans seek meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ____19____ It provides direction and a sense of achievement. Engaging in hobbies, especially those done in groups, helps build community, establish connections and strengthen bonds, all contributing to a greater sense of purpose and belonging. While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time, not all hobbies are equal in promoting health and happiness. Whether you seek physical activity, mental inspiration, or community, the key is to find activities that truly bring joy. Avoid passive pastimes, like too much screen time, which often leave you feeling worse. ____20____ Now it’s your turn: Go find the thing that lights you up and do more of it. A. Following your likes is key to satisfying this need. B. It also stresses the need to balance work and leisure. C. People who play a musical instrument often do better in math. D. A widespread myth is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time. E. This supports the idea that hobbies can bring us benefits in many aspects. F. Rather, choose hobbies that challenge your physical strength and mental focus. G. Instead, aim for hobbies that offer both short-term pleasure and long-term benefits. 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。 The heating element on my clothes dryer broke down this week.

The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden light over the street. As she worked, her eyes fell on a big black-and-white cat near a waste bin behind her shop. Unlike the usual stray cats (流浪猫) she sometimes saw, this one appeared well-fed, with a glossy coat and bright, curious eyes. The cat trotted up to her without hesitation, as if he knew she was there to help. Holly bent down and gently petted him, feeling the warmth of his fur. It was clear this was no stray; the cat seemed too well cared for to have wandered off on his own. Holly felt a tug at her heart, knowing that someone must be missing this cat. She brought him inside, gave him food and water, and she also noticed the collar with a faded tag, a sign that he had a home. Meanwhile, Jamie McCall was heartbroken. Her beloved cat, Tucker, had gone missing the day before during a stop at a small hotel. Tucker had been more than just a pet to Jamie; he had been a source of comfort after the tragic losses she had suffered in the past two years. First, she had lost her husband of 43 years to cancer, then her grandson to violence. A workplace accident had left her partially disabled, and life had seemed to turn upside down. Through it all, Tucker had been her lifeline, offering companionship and love. After searching for hours without success, Jamie had no choice but to leave the hotel, heartbroken and fearing the worst for Tucker. And he didn’t know a good Samaritan was doing something to bring Tucker back to him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost-pet groups, hoping to find its owner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
