So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should. The Masai Mara Home to the“greatest wildlife show on earth” - the annual migration of one-and-a-half million wildebeest and their accompanying animals - the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s most famous reserve thanks to the brilliance of its game viewing. Walking is not allowed here, so if you’d like to hike across the Greater Mara, visit one of the many private conservancies that border the reserve. The Karen District Perhaps the greatest single influence on the country’s tourism was the Danish writer Karen Blixen, whose book Out of Africa begins with the words, “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills”, and you can visit his house in the Karen district, where it has been turned into a museum. While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter? Gedi On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest. Near the entrance to Gedi is Kipepeo, a butterfly farm where you can witness the entire cycle of a butterfly’s life. Western Kenya For an entirely different take on Kenya, visit western Kenya - famous for its green quilt of tea bushes which once you’ve sipped, you’ ll never regard this delicious drink in quite the same light again. For the ultimate experience spend a night or two at the Kericho Tea Hotel. 1. Which activity is available in the Karen district? A. Visiting a science museum. B. Interacting with wild animals. C. Watching butterflies’ life cycle. D. Exploring the local cuisine. 2. Where can you enjoy ocean views? A. Gedi. B. The Karen District. C. Western Kenya. D. The Masai Mara. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A science journal. B. A literary review. C. A historical document. D. A tourism brochure. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以旅游作家Jane Barsby的视角，向大家推荐了四个位于肯尼亚的四个著名旅游胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter?（在Karen，为什么不在非洲濒危野生动物基金会长颈鹿中心抚摸长颈鹿，或者在野生动物信托基金会的大象收容所拥抱小象呢？）”可知，在Karen地区，游客可以抚摸长颈鹿，拥抱小象来与野生动物进行互动。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest.（在银蓝色的斯瓦希里海岸线上，有13世纪格迪镇的遗迹，据说在食人族接近时，它的居民抛弃了它。现在，它是一个风景如画的废墟，破败的街道、市场、宫殿和清真寺都被淹没在茂密的沿海森林中。）”可知，Gedi位于海岸线上，现在这里风景如画，因此在Gedi可以欣赏到海景。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Kenya is a microcosm of Africa. So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should.（肯尼亚是非洲的一个缩影。所以，如果肯尼亚还没有出现在你的梦想目的地名单上，旅游作家简·巴斯比告诉你为什么它应该出现在你的名单上。）”可知，旅游作家简·巴斯比向大家推荐了肯尼亚的四个旅游胜地。因此本文取自旅游手册。故选D。 B As I’ve grown older, my connection to nature has become stronger. Recently, I was fortunate to spend a good part of a week immersed in the wilderness, following the teachings of my father from my childhood. Ever since I was 10, my sister, father, and I would load up his canoe (独木舟) with supplies and venture into the heart of Algonquin Park. There were years when I ignored the call of Algonquin, caught up in the busyness of life — graduate school, and raising young children. It all felt overwhelming. But as time passed, my children grew older, and the call of Algonquin grew louder. With the support of my family, I finally heeded that call again, and started planning to take part in one of our family trips there. My family’s expertise in the outdoors has been invaluable for such trips. My sister, a teacher, carefully plans our trips while my dad, a skilled outdoorsman, effortlessly handles tasks like setting up camp and preparing meals. And my husband is really strong and good at moving things around. But, as the trip got closer, my husband suddenly hurt his leg. And suddenly, I was faced with managing the first part of the trip as the only adult. Could I drive my daughters, alone, to Algonquin’s remote north boundary to meet my dad and stepmom? Could I steer (驾驶) the canoe? Could I carry the canoe? I had driven across Canada, alone, in my twenties, well before Google Maps. I was pretty sure I could steer if we kept to smaller lakes that were less likely to become windswept. But I feared carrying a canoe. Plus, lifting it onto my shoulders seemed impossible for someone of my strength. But Algonquin was calling me. I channeled the fearless independence of my younger self and called Dad. “If we shorten the route and I find a lightweight canoe, the girls and I are coming,” I told him. With guidance from YouTube and my sister, I mastered the technique of lifting the canoe onto my shoulders and on the day, I unloaded it without a hitch. The trip was serene. I was reunited with the beauty of Algonquin — the majestic red pines, serene lakes, and the sense of peace that comes with being in the wilderness. This journey felt like a pilgrimage (朝圣), reconnecting me with my adventurous younger self who isn’t extinct, just out of practice. 4. What contributed to my taking part in a family trip again? A. Ignorance of the call of Algonquin. B. Being caught up in the busyness of life. C. My children getting older and louder. D. Confidence in family and support from them. 5. Which of the following was the author confident of? A. Managing the first part of the trip. B. Steering canoe in small and calm lakes. C. Carrying the canoe by herself. D. Lifting the canoe onto her shoulders. 6 What kind of person can we learn about the author? A. Independent and humorous. B. Pessimistic and unmotivated. C. Nature-loving and adventurous. D. Ambitious and self-confident. 7. What message is mainly conveyed in the text? A. It’s never too late for a woman to take a risk. B. Your family is there for you whatever happens. C. You should find and stick to what you are good at. D. Reunion with nature brings back one’s real self. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从亲近自然的一次家庭旅行，从而重新找回自己。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With the support of my family, I finally heeded that call again, and started planning to take part in one of our family trips there.(在家人的支持下，我终于再次响应了那个呼唤，并开始计划参加我们的一次家庭旅行)”以及第三段“My family’s expertise in the outdoors has been invaluable for such trips.(我的家人在户外的专业知识对这样的旅行是无价的)”可知，家人的支持以及对家人户外活动的信心使作者重拾了儿时的热情，想要加入家庭旅行。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I was pretty sure I could steer if we kept to smaller lakes that were less likely to become windswept.(我很确定，如果我们沿着不太可能被大风刮过的小湖泊行驶，我可以驾驶)”可知，作者对于在较小的不容易被风刮走的湖面上驾驶皮划艇很有信心。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Ever since I was 10, my sister, father, and I would load up his canoe with supplies and venture into the heart of Algonquin Park.(从我10岁起，我姐姐、父亲和我就会把补给装上他的独木舟，冒险进入阿尔冈昆公园的中心)”和“But as time passed, my children grew older, and the call of Algonquin grew louder.(但随着时间的流逝，我的孩子们长大了，阿尔冈昆的呼唤也越来越响亮)”以及第六段第一句 “But Algonquin was calling me.(但是阿尔冈昆在呼唤我)”可知，作者十分热爱大自然。根据第六段第二句 “I channeled the fearless independence of my younger self and called Dad.(我恢复了年轻时那种无畏的独立，给爸爸打了电话)”以及最后一段“This journey felt like a pilgrimage, reconnecting me with my adventurous younger self who isn’t extinct, just out of practice.(这段旅程感觉就像朝圣之旅，让我与年轻时充满冒险精神的自己重新联系起来)”可知，作者的内在是充满冒险精神的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段“As I’ve grown older, my connection to nature has become stronger.(随着年龄的增长，我与自然的联系越来越紧密)”以及最后一段“This journey felt like a pilgrimage, reconnecting me with my adventurous younger self who isn’t extinct, just out of practice.(这段旅程感觉就像朝圣之旅，让我与年轻时充满冒险精神的自己重新联系起来)”可知，本文主要是通过描写自己亲近自然的一次家庭旅行，从而重新找回自己。故选D。 C If you go back in history far enough, you’ll come to a time when there were no clocks or watches. Shadow clocks, such as sundials, were a “hot” item around 1500 BC. But these were only useful during the daytime and only on sunny days. Soon better ways were invented. Ancient Chinese knotted (打结) a rope in equal distance, and set it aflame. As fire passed each knot, a period of time was counted off. Later, they spaced weights evenly along the rope and placed a bell beneath it. As the rope burned, the weights would drop and “ring out” the time! Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense (香) was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up! Another ancient clock is called sandglass — or hourglass. It uses the flow of sand to measure a specific amount of time. The earliest known hourglass dates back to ancient Egypt around the 14th century BC. In most cases, the available sand was too coarse to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative. Clocks using flowing water are called a clepsydra. It released a specified quantity of water from one container to another, taking a particular time to do so. Perhaps the earliest came from Egypt around 1600 BC. The Greek and Roman army also used water-clocks to measure shift-work like night watches. It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container. Today highly accurate timekeeping instruments set the beat for most of our electronic devices and the search for further development continues. 8. In ancient China, time could be told by __________. A. bell volume B. rope weight C. incense smells D. knot size 9. What does the underlined word “coarse” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Loose. B. Rough. C. Firm. D. Soft. 10. What might be a drawback of a clepsydra? A. It was influenced by water pressure. B. It required constant attention. C. It was less portable than the oil lamp. D. It had limited water capacity. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce varieties of ancient timers. B. To show respect for the greatness of time. C. To compare the methods of marking time. D. To describe civilization of the old times. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的古代计时工具，如日晷、结绳、焚香、沙漏以及水钟等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up! (中国人甚至可以闻到时间的流逝！香被放置在一个网状结构的盘子里，不同的香放置在不同的时间。当香烧起来的时候，他们知道该起床了)”可知，在古代中国，人们可以通过香的气味来判断时间。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative. (在沙漏中顺利流动，所以蛋壳粉被选为替代品)”可推知，沙子粗糙才会影响其在沙漏中顺利流动，使得更为细腻的蛋壳粉成为替代品。因此，画线词意思是“粗糙的”，与Rough“（表面）粗糙的，不平的”意思相近。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container. (它比油灯更可靠，但水流量仍然取决于容器内水压的变化)”可知，水钟的水流量依赖容器内水压的变化，这是它的一个缺点。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了不同的古代计时工具，如日晷、结绳、焚香、沙漏以及水钟等，整体围绕多种古代计时工具展开描述，详细说明了它们的工作原理、起源等信息。由此推知，作者的写作目的是介绍各种古代计时器。故选A项。 D You might think as climate change warms the tundra (冻原) — melting surface snow and ice and thawing permafrost (冻土) — there should be more surface water. Existing lakes should be expanding because of this extra water, and new ones should also be making their appearance. Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking lakes but lakes that have completely disappeared. A paper published this year in Nature Climate Change found widespread lake loss across the Arctic over the past 20 years. Many scientists shared the commonsense expectation that as permafrost thawed (融化), lakes would at first expand because of the increased meltwater flowing into them. Eventually, researchers projected, progressive warming during the 21st and 22ⁿᵈ centuries would dry out the Arctic. But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century or more sooner than they were predicted to. What is causing this to happen? Basically, the ground is becoming more permeable (有渗透性的). We talk about “solid ground”, but its particles of rock, mineral and organic matter actually have spaces between them. Outside the Arctic, those spaces are filled with air or water; surface water drains into them. Arctic landscapes are different. In permafrost, the spaces are filled with solid ice, so liquid water cannot readily penetrate through them. But when the permafrost thaws, water can flow downward. So these far northern lakes are disappearing because surface water can drain rapidly into the subsurface as the permafrost warms up. Why did scientists miss this? One reason is that most climate models assume that permafrost thaw is driven only by warming air. New evidence suggests that rainfall is now contributing substantially to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the models included such processes. This is a good example of why — no matter how sophisticated models are or may one day become—we will still need to continue making direct observations of the natural world. Lakes make up as much as 40 percent of the Arctic’s lowlands, where they provide crucial freshwater for Indigenous communities and critical habitats for a wide range of plants and animal life. The loss of marshy (湿地的) areas that accompany these lakes can also lead to an increase in wildfires, which, in turn, only serves to melt more permafrost. This permafrost hold a huge amount of methane, which could end up dramatically accelerating global warming. 12. What surprised scientists according to the first two paragraphs? A. The quicker disappearance of Arctic lakes. B. The appearance of new lakes in the Arctic. C. The expansion of existing lakes in the Arctic. D. The widespread lake shrinkage across the Arctic. 13. What is causing the widespread lake loss in the Arctic? A. The downward flow of surface water in lakes. B. The outward flowing water from melting snow. C. The drainage of water through holes in the solid ground. D. The rapid disappearance of lake water due to the warming air. 14. Why did scientists fail to make correct prediction about the Arctic lakes? A. They didn’t employ sophisticated enough models. B. They made their predictions based on insufficient data. C. They didn’t get a close-up look at the natural world at all. D. They didn’t consider the effect of rainfall on permafrost thaw. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The major contributors to global warming. B. The side effects of the Arctic lake loss. C. The role of permafrost in controlling global warming. D. The measures being taken to fight against Arctic lake loss. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全球气候变暖北极冻土融化反而导致当地湖泊含水量不增反减，甚至逐渐消失的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking lakes but lakes that have completely disappeared. (然而，最近科学家们发现，湖泊不仅在萎缩，而且已经完全消失。)”和第二段“But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century or more sooner than they were predicted to. (但现在看来，北极湖泊的消失似乎比预计的要早一个世纪或更早。)”可知，两段主要讲述在全球气候变暖冻土融化的条件下，北极湖泊没有出现理论上的扩大，反而不断消失，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So these far northern lakes are disappearing because surface water can drain rapidly into the subsurface as the permafrost warms up. (所以这些遥远的北部湖泊正在消失，因为随着永久冻土变暖，地表水会迅速流入地下。)”可知，湖泊消失的原因在于随着冻土的融化，地表的水不断渗透到地下，所以导致了湖泊水位的下降，甚至是消失，故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“New evidence suggests that rainfall is now contributing substantially to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the models included such processes. (新的证据表明，现在降雨在很大程度上导致了永久冻土的流失。)”可知，雨水落下会将高温带进地下，导致冻土的融化，而冻土融化后会导致地表水向下渗透，从而影响科学家对地表水量的预测。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The loss of marshy (湿地的) areas that accompany these lakes can also lead to an increase in wildfires, which, in turn, only serves to melt more permafrost. This permafrost hold a huge amount of methane, which could end up dramatically accelerating global warming. (与这些湖泊相伴随的沼泽地区的减少也会导致野火的增加，而野火反过来只会融化更多的永久冻土。这些永久冻土中含有大量的甲烷，最终可能会极大地加速全球变暖。)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了北极湖泊减少的副作用。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。 Scroll through any social-media feed, and before long a cute video will appear. Perhaps it shows a giggling baby or a rabbit nibbling strawberries. A red panda might be throwing its paws in the air, or a kitten may sit astride a tiny motorcycle. ___16___. On TikTok there are 65m videos tagged # cute. The demand is even greater: those videos have been viewed more than 625 bn times. ___17___. In Japan — where appreciation for all things kawaii is especially keen — roadblocks come in the form of dolphins, ducks or frogs.

A new exhibition at Somerset House in London also examines the popularity of cuteness in culture, bringing together art, games and toys. What do humans consider cute? In the 1940s Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian zoologist, found that people are drawn to babies with big eyes, a small nose and mouth and round cheeks, as well as a short body, short arms and legs and a swaying step. These traits motivated people to nurture and protect babies, helping ensure their survival. Humans are so drawn to these features that cats and dogs may have been bred to emphasize those same features. Cartoon characters have changed, too. ___20___, while his head and eyes have become larger. A. Cute things are everywhere, not just online B The supply of these endearing clips is huge C. In Britain a cartoon koala helps sell toilet paper D. With the Internet, cuteness became available on demand E. It was in the 20th century that cuteness dug in its tiny claws F. But cuteness has recently become a subject of serious inquiry G. For instance, Mickey Mouse’s arms, legs and nose have shrunk since 1928 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了可爱事物在网络及生活各处的呈现，以及人们对可爱事物的喜爱由来已久，还介绍了人类眼中可爱的标准以及卡通形象随时间在可爱特征方面的变化等内容。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Scroll through any social-media feed, and before long a cute video will appear.(浏览任何社交媒体动态，不久就会出现一个可爱的视频)”以及下文“On TikTok there are 65m videos tagged # cute. The demand is even greater: those videos have been viewed more than 625 bn times.(在抖音上，有6500万个带有可爱标签的视频。需求甚至更大：这些视频的浏览量已超过6250亿次)”可知，此处强调可爱视频数量众多，供应量大，与B项“The supply of these endearing clips is huge(这些可爱视频片段的供应量是巨大的)”意思相符，是对上文现象的进一步说明，故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“In Japan — where appreciation for all things kawaii is especially keen — roadblocks come in the form of dolphins, ducks or frogs.

But today I had to clean Mrs. Thompson’s garage first. She was weakened by old age, so my mom always volunteered me to help her. Mom wouldn’t let me accept any money, thinking she didn’t have much, and literally, I never minded — after all, Mrs. Thompson had knitted me five sweaters and always made me cakes. Most importantly, it was the right thing to do. Steve came rushing out of his house, and I explained the situation. As expected, he immediately said, “Alright, I’ll help.” We instantly got to work. The garage was a mess of boxes, but we gathered all our energy and soon brought the cleanup to an end. When arranging the last box, however, I nudged the shelf accidentally. Before I could react, a vase fell and crashed to the ground, broken into pieces. I froze, my heart pounding. The vase was beautiful with delicate designs, which must have cost a fortune. Glancing at the open garage door, I suggested, “Maybe I can just sweep this up. Mrs. Thompson won’t even notice.” I responded fast and piled the pieces into the trash bin. But Steve’s expression darkened. “That’s not how it works. You should tell her what happened.” I tried to justify myself, telling all the chores I’d done for Mrs. Thompson without pay. I even argued that it wasn’t my responsibility to pay for something I didn’t destroy on purpose. However, Steve wasn’t buying it, his voice firm. “You’re better than that. Be responsible.” We stood there in silence, the weight of the moment hanging between us. Just then, Mrs. Thompson walked in, giving us a scare. She smiled warmly, unaware of the whole thing. “Boys, I baked a chocolate cake. Now come in for a piece. I really appreciate all your help.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. “Could it be for me?” I wondered. Mrs. Thompson read my thoughts, “Your mom mentioned you’ re training for the baseball team, so I prepared this for you. Open it!” I unwrapped the box and a brand-new baseball glove was in sight! Immense guilt grew when I recalled all she did for me. Steve’s words also struck me, urging me to admit the mistake. I said in a low voice, “Mrs. Thompson, I’m sorry for breaking your vase in the garage by accident. I should pay for it.” Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. However, instead of disappointment, she just laughed. “Oh, that old vase was just a cheap thing I picked up at a dollar store. It is far less precious than your help and honesty. Don’t worry about it. Let’s enjoy the cake!” A bit relieved, I exchanged a look with Steve, eager to break in my new glove on the field and expecting another visit to Mrs. Thompson’s house. In his eyes, this time, shone a bright glimmer approving of my recovered sense of responsibility. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在暑假期间帮助邻居汤普森太太打打扫车库时，不小心打碎了一个花瓶，朋友史蒂夫鼓励作者勇于承担责任向汤普森太太坦白，在不知所措时，汤普森太太邀请品尝巧克力蛋糕，当看到为作者准备的棒球手套礼物时，内心的愧疚感油然而生，作者最终鼓起勇气向汤普森太太道歉并承认错误。令作者惊讶的是，汤普森太太并未责怪，反而表示那个花瓶并不贵重，并强调诚实比物质更珍贵，这让作者深感愧疚又感激，同时也意识到了责任和诚实的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们犹豫地走进了房间，我注意到蛋糕旁边的桌子上有一个礼盒。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到礼盒的惊喜以及打开礼盒发现新棒球手套的激动，同时内心因之前打碎花瓶而感到愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“说完后，我紧张地等待着汤普森太太的回答。”可知，第二段可描写汤普森太太对作者打碎花瓶一事的宽容态度，以及作者因此感到宽慰并与史蒂夫交换眼神，期待未来的日子。 2.续写线索： 发现礼盒——打开礼盒——愧疚承认错误——等待回应——得到宽容——交换眼神——期待未来 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.打开礼盒：unwrap the box/open the gift/unfold the package ②.承认错误：admit the mistake/confess the error ③.交换眼神：exchange a look/exchange glances/share a look 情绪类 ①.愧疚：immense guilt/deep regret/a sense of shame ②.宽慰：relieved/eased 【点睛】【高分句型1】Immense guilt grew when I recalled all she did for me.（使用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Steve’s words also struck me, urging me to admit the mistake.（使用了现在分词短语作状语） 听力1-5CBBAA 6-10BCACA 11-15ACBCB 16-20CABBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌十中2024-2025学年高三一模模拟考试 高三英语试题 说明：本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 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. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号或IS号用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题卡和答题纸上。 2. 作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题纸上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡上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，请保持卡面清洁和答题纸清洁，不折叠、不破损。 3. 考试结束后，请将答题纸交回。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should. The Masai Mara Home to the“greatest wildlife show on earth” - the annual migration of one-and-a-half million wildebeest and their accompanying animals - the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s most famous reserve thanks to the brilliance of its game viewing. Walking is not allowed here, so if you’d like to hike across the Greater Mara, visit one of the many private conservancies that border the reserve. The Karen District Perhaps the greatest single influence on the country’s tourism was the Danish writer Karen Blixen, whose book Out of Africa begins with the words, “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills”, and you can visit his house in the Karen district, where it has been turned into a museum. While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter? Gedi On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest. Near the entrance to Gedi is Kipepeo, a butterfly farm where you can witness the entire cycle of a butterfly’s life. Western Kenya For an entirely different take on Kenya, visit western Kenya - famous for its green quilt of tea bushes which once you’ve sipped, you’ ll never regard this delicious drink in quite the same light again. For the ultimate experience spend a night or two at the Kericho Tea Hotel. 1. Which activity is available in the Karen district? A. Visiting a science museum. B. Interacting with wild animals. C. Watching butterflies’ life cycle. D. Exploring the local cuisine. 2. Where can you enjoy ocean views? A. Gedi. B. The Karen District. C. Western Kenya. D. The Masai Mara. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A science journal. B. A literary review. C. A historical document. D. A tourism brochure. B As I’ve grown older, my connection to nature has become stronger. Recently, I was fortunate to spend a good part of a week immersed in the wilderness, following the teachings of my father from my childhood. Ever since I was 10, my sister, father, and I would load up his canoe (独木舟) with supplies and venture into the heart of Algonquin Park. There were years when I ignored the call of Algonquin, caught up in the busyness of life — graduate school, and raising young children. It all felt overwhelming. But as time passed, my children grew older, and the call of Algonquin grew louder. With the support of my family, I finally heeded that call again, and started planning to take part in one of our family trips there. My family’s expertise in the outdoors has been invaluable for such trips. My sister, a teacher, carefully plans our trips while my dad, a skilled outdoorsman, effortlessly handles tasks like setting up camp and preparing meals. And my husband is really strong and good at moving things around. But, as the trip got closer, my husband suddenly hurt his leg. And suddenly, I was faced with managing the first part of the trip as the only adult. Could I drive my daughters, alone, to Algonquin’s remote north boundary to meet my dad and stepmom? Could I steer (驾驶) the canoe? Could I carry the canoe? I had driven across Canada, alone, in my twenties, well before Google Maps. I was pretty sure I could steer if we kept to smaller lakes that were less likely to become windswept. But I feared carrying a canoe. Plus, lifting it onto my shoulders seemed impossible for someone of my strength. But Algonquin was calling me. I channeled the fearless independence of my younger self and called Dad. “If we shorten the route and I find a lightweight canoe, the girls and I are coming,” I told him. With guidance from YouTube and my sister, I mastered the technique of lifting the canoe onto my shoulders and on the day, I unloaded it without a hitch. The trip was serene. I was reunited with the beauty of Algonquin — the majestic red pines, serene lakes, and the sense of peace that comes with being in the wilderness. This journey felt like a pilgrimage (朝圣), reconnecting me with my adventurous younger self who isn’t extinct, just out of practice. 4. What contributed to my taking part in a family trip again? A. Ignorance of the call of Algonquin. B. Being caught up in the busyness of life. C. My children getting older and louder. D. Confidence in family and support from them. 5. Which of the following was the author confident of? A. Managing the first part of the trip. B. Steering canoe in small and calm lakes. C. Carrying the canoe by herself. D. Lifting the canoe onto her shoulders. 6. What kind of person can we learn about the author? A. Independent and humorous. B. Pessimistic and unmotivated. C. Nature-loving and adventurous. D. Ambitious and self-confident. 7. What message is mainly conveyed in the text? A. It’s never too late for a woman to take a risk. B. Your family is there for you whatever happens. C. You should find and stick to what you are good at. D. Reunion with nature brings back one’s real self. C If you go back in history far enough, you’ll come to a time when there were no clocks or watches. Shadow clocks, such as sundials, were a “hot” item around 1500 BC. But these were only useful during the daytime and only on sunny days. Soon better ways were invented. Ancient Chinese knotted (打结) a rope in equal distance, and set it aflame. As fire passed each knot, a period of time was counted off. Later, they spaced weights evenly along the rope and placed a bell beneath it. As the rope burned, the weights would drop and “ring out” the time! Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense (香) was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up! Another ancient clock is called sandglass — or hourglass. It uses the flow of sand to measure a specific amount of time. The earliest known hourglass dates back to ancient Egypt around the 14th century BC. In most cases, the available sand was too coarse to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative. Clocks using flowing water are called a clepsydra. It released a specified quantity of water from one container to another, taking a particular time to do so. Perhaps the earliest came from Egypt around 1600 BC. The Greek and Roman army also used water-clocks to measure shift-work like night watches. It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container. Today highly accurate timekeeping instruments set the beat for most of our electronic devices and the search for further development continues. 8. In ancient China, time could be told by __________. A. bell volume B. rope weight C. incense smells D. knot size 9. What does the underlined word “coarse” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Loose. B. Rough. C. Firm. D. Soft. 10. What might be a drawback of a clepsydra? A. It was influenced by water pressure. B. It required constant attention. C. It was less portable than the oil lamp. D. It had limited water capacity. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce varieties of ancient timers. B. To show respect for the greatness of time. C To compare the methods of marking time. D. To describe civilization of the old times. D You might think as climate change warms the tundra (冻原) — melting surface snow and ice and thawing permafrost (冻土) — there should be more surface water. Existing lakes should be expanding because of this extra water, and new ones should also be making their appearance. Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking lakes but lakes that have completely disappeared. A paper published this year in Nature Climate Change found widespread lake loss across the Arctic over the past 20 years. Many scientists shared the commonsense expectation that as permafrost thawed (融化), lakes would at first expand because of the increased meltwater flowing into them. Eventually, researchers projected, progressive warming during the 21st and 22ⁿᵈ centuries would dry out the Arctic. But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century or more sooner than they were predicted to. What is causing this to happen? Basically, the ground is becoming more permeable (有渗透性的). We talk about “solid ground”, but its particles of rock, mineral and organic matter actually have spaces between them. Outside the Arctic, those spaces are filled with air or water; surface water drains into them. Arctic landscapes are different. In permafrost, the spaces are filled with solid ice, so liquid water cannot readily penetrate through them. But when the permafrost thaws, water can flow downward. So these far northern lakes are disappearing because surface water can drain rapidly into the subsurface as the permafrost warms up. Why did scientists miss this? One reason is that most climate models assume that permafrost thaw is driven only by warming air. New evidence suggests that rainfall is now contributing substantially to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the models included such processes. This is a good example of why — no matter how sophisticated models are or may one day become—we will still need to continue making direct observations of the natural world. Lakes make up as much as 40 percent of the Arctic’s lowlands, where they provide crucial freshwater for Indigenous communities and critical habitats for a wide range of plants and animal life. The loss of marshy (湿地的) areas that accompany these lakes can also lead to an increase in wildfires, which, in turn, only serves to melt more permafrost. This permafrost hold a huge amount of methane, which could end up dramatically accelerating global warming. 12. What surprised scientists according to the first two paragraphs? A. The quicker disappearance of Arctic lakes. B. The appearance of new lakes in the Arctic. C. The expansion of existing lakes in the Arctic. D. The widespread lake shrinkage across the Arctic. 13. What is causing the widespread lake loss in the Arctic? A. The downward flow of surface water in lakes. B. The outward flowing water from melting snow. C. The drainage of water through holes in the solid ground. D. The rapid disappearance of lake water due to the warming air. 14. Why did scientists fail to make correct prediction about the Arctic lakes? A. They didn’t employ sophisticated enough models. B. They made their predictions based on insufficient data. C. They didn’t get a close-up look at the natural world at all. D. They didn’t consider the effect of rainfall on permafrost thaw. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The major contributors to global warming. B. The side effects of the Arctic lake loss. C. The role of permafrost in controlling global warming. D. The measures being taken to fight against Arctic lake loss. 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。 Scroll through any social-media feed, and before long a cute video will appear.

But today I had to clean Mrs. Thompson’s garage first. She was weakened by old age, so my mom always volunteered me to help her. Mom wouldn’t let me accept any money, thinking she didn’t have much, and literally, I never minded — after all, Mrs. Thompson had knitted me five sweaters and always made me cakes. Most importantly, it was the right thing to do. Steve came rushing out of his house and I explained the situation. As expected, he immediately said, “Alright, I’ll help.” We instantly got to work. The garage was a mess of boxes, but we gathered all our energy and soon brought the cleanup to an end. When arranging the last box, however, I nudged the shelf accidentally. Before I could react, a vase fell and crashed to the ground, broken into pieces. I froze, my heart pounding. The vase was beautiful with delicate designs, which must have cost a fortune. Glancing at the open garage door, I suggested, “Maybe I can just sweep this up. Mrs. Thompson won’t even notice.” I responded fast and piled the pieces into the trash bin. But Steve’s expression darkened. “That’s not how it works. You should tell her what happened.” I tried to justify myself, telling all the chores I’d done for Mrs. Thompson without pay. I even argued that it wasn’t my responsibility to pay for something I didn’t destroy on purpose. However, Steve wasn’t buying it, his voice firm. “You’re better than that. Be responsible.” We stood there in silence, the weight of the moment hanging between us. Just then, Mrs. Thompson walked in, giving us a scare. She smiled warmly, unaware of the whole thing. “Boys, I baked a chocolate cake. Now come in for a piece. I really appreciate all your help.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hesitantly, we entered the room and I noticed a gift box on the table beside the cake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said that, I waited nervously for Mrs. Thompson to speak up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5CBBAA 6-10BCACA 11-15ACBCB 16-20CABBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
