You’ ll save even more money by booking around 90 days in advance.  (乘飞机最便宜的月份是三月份，尤其是如果你能在周一、周二或周三出发的话。如果提前90天左右预订，你会节省更多的钱)”可知，十二月订机票最省钱。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Go to the Louvre to see world-famous art部分中“The Louvre hosts the Mona Lisa along with 35, 000 other pieces of art. If you’ re pressed for time, visit the highlights. The Louvre costs €15 at the museum or €17 in advance (to skip most of the line). (卢浮宫收藏了《蒙娜丽莎》和其他35000件艺术品。如果你时间紧迫，那就去看看精华部分吧。卢浮宫的票价是15欧元，或者提前17欧元（可以跳过大部分队伍）。)”可知，游客原本支付15欧元去卢浮宫，但是可以额外支付2欧元来节省参观卢浮宫的排队时间。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Paris is one of the most-visited destinations in the world. A relaxing trip to Paris takes a little bit of planning.

My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. Weekends spent relaxing in a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and thinking about the next ice cream. Those days are a long way off. But on Wednesday of last week, when the weather finally cleared, I jumped at the chance to walk outside umbrella-free. I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind. It’s just a short walk from the office and, although it was cold out, it seemed to call out to me. The more I walked, the better the weather got. By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining. I spotted a way by the water that appeared to lead to a sun deck (甲板). I walked up it and was floored by the view that greeted me. The Brooklyn Bridge was in all its glory. There were Adirondack chairs strategically positioned all over the deck to take in the postcard-like scene. I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight. That’s when I realized I was doing exactly what I would’ve done if I were at the beach. Except, of course, I was wearing a big winter coat and there was no ice cream in sight! Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City. 4. What made the author think about the beach? A. The relaxing weekend. B. The delicious ice cream. C. The unbearable weather. D. The summer at Coney Island. 5. Where did the author decide to walk during the lunch break? A. To the fascinating beach. B. To the nearby park. C. To the Brooklyn Bridge. D. To the South Street Seaport. 6. What does the author mean by saying “You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm”? A. Good things always come prior to bad things. B. The weather in New York is unpredictable. C. The seaport is a great place to go after a storm. D. A small escape can bring a refreshing change. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An inspirational winter story. B. An iconic attraction in New York. C. A clear and warm day in cold winter. D. A travel guide to South Street Seaport. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了上周去海滩的所见及感悟。寒冷阴雨的冬天里，作者遇到一个好天气，去了海滩享受了短暂的美好。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. (我的海滩谈话灵感来自于我们在纽约的天气，从“你不敢出门”的冷到“你的头发永远不会原谅你”的雨不一而足。在这一切中，我忍不住梦想着在科尼岛度过的夏日)”可知，难以忍受的冬季阴冷天气让作者思念夏日沙滩。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind.(在长达一个小时的午休时间里，我真的不知道该去哪里散步，直到南街海港突然出现在我的脑海里)”及第三段“By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining.(当我到达海港的时候，太阳真的很亮)”可知，作者决定去了南街海港（the South Street Seaport）。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段该句上文“I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight.( 我在其中一把椅子上舒服地坐了下来，然后伸直双腿，闭上眼睛，在金色的阳光下沐浴了一会儿)”及“Still, the thought filled me with happiness.(尽管如此，这个想法还是让我充满了幸福)”可知推测，作者在纽约市中心繁忙的工作日里，在阴冷的冬天遇到一个好天气的日子里，来到这个港口晒太阳，意识到自己正在做着在夏日海滩上会做的事情，很高兴。因此感叹你永远不知道暴风雨过后会有什么奇迹出现。比如，享受海滩般的休闲时光。因此“一次小小的逃离能让你得到令人耳目一新的改变”最符合题意。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. (我的海滩谈话灵感来自于我们在纽约的天气，从“你不敢出门”的冷到“你的头发永远不会原谅你”的雨不一而足)”及最后一段“Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City.(尽管如此，这个想法还是让我充满了幸福。你永远不知道暴风雨过后会有什么奇迹在等着你。就像在冬天的沙滩上在纽约市中心的工作日里)”可知，全文讲述作者冬日里一次中午外出散步的感悟，感受到严寒的冬日仍然可以享受到夏日海滩般游玩的快乐，所以这是“一个鼓舞人心的冬季故事”。故选A项。 C Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence (暴力),“In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and teenagers is not disease or hunger or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Considering this, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students shows that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively unimportant insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in tum can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles. Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country. 8. FromParagraph2 we can learn that _______. A. students tend to become angry easily B. a small conflict can lead to violence C. violence is more likely to happen at lunchtime D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight 9. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5? A. To find out who is to criticize. B. To get ready to try new things. C. To make clear what the real issue is. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match. 10. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that _______. A. there was a decrease in classroom violence B the teacher-student relationship greatly improved C. there was less student cooperation in the classroom D. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools 11. What is this article mainly about? A. The lives of school children. B. The cause of arguments in schools. C. How to analyze youth violence. D. How to deal with school conflicts. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在学校教授学生如何处理冲突的重要性，并提出了具体的解决策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“A report on violence among middle school and high school students shows that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively unimportant insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in tum can lead to violence.(一份关于中学生和高中生暴力的报告显示，学生之间的大多数暴力事件都始于相对不重要的侮辱。例如，一场争吵可能始于一名学生每天午餐吃花生酱三明治的事实。三明治上的笑声会导致侮辱，而侮辱又会导致暴力)”可推知，一场小的冲突就可能导致暴力。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.(学生需要问自己这样的问题：这是怎么开始的？我真正想要的是什么？我害怕什么？随着问题变得越来越清楚，冲突往往会变得更小。即使没有，仔细思考也有助于双方找到共同的解决方案)”可知，学生需要问自己的这些问题是为了弄清楚真正的问题是什么，然后找到真正的解决方案。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”.(根据社会责任教育者组织的数据，在亚特兰大的学生开始实施冲突解决计划后，“64%的教师表示课堂上的身体暴力减少了；75%的教师表示学生合作有所增加；92%的学生对自己感觉更好”)”可推知，在亚特兰大开始实施冲突解决计划后，发现课堂暴力减少了。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，以及第一段的“Considering this, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?(考虑到这一点，为什么没有像教学生解决数学问题、开车或保持身体健康那样教他们管理冲突呢？)”以及最后一段的“Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.(学会解决冲突可以帮助学生与朋友、老师、父母、老板和同事相处。通过这种方式，解决冲突是一种基本的生活技能，应该在全国各地的学校教授)”可知，全文围绕着如何在学校教育中教授学生处理冲突的方法展开，强调了冲突解决技能作为基本生活技能的重要性。故选D。 D Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today. On a lonely, lunar-like valley of Iceland, Edda Aradottir is on a mission to put CO₂ back where it came from. She’s returning a tiny bit of it today but much, much more of it in the years ahead. In sending CO₂ deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most challenging acts of human history: the dugging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels. Aradottir shows how CO₂ caught from the air is mixed with water, then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-colored spots in the rock below. Scientists like Aradottir are working on ambitious — and sometimes controversial (有争议的) — projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical tree”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO₂. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Atop a university building in Zürich, an Uruguayan inventor presents a small bottle of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air. That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day. 12. What purpose do the figures in paragraph 1 serve? A. To show the necessity of removing carbon dioxide. B. To inspire readers’ interest in environmental protection. C. To highlight the amount of cars existing in the world today. D. To explain a commonly accepted reason for global warming. 13. The underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”. A. get B. advertise C. overturn D. discover 14. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. Aradottir’s daily routine. B. Aradottir’s field of study. C. The cost of Aradottir’s project. D. The explanation of Aradottir’s system. 15. What does the author think of the carbon removal projects? A. Educational. B. Expensive. C. Efficient. D. Promising. 【答案】12 A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了处理大气中二氧化碳的几项研究和措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.(这相当于5220亿辆汽车每年排放的二氧化碳，相当于今天每人65辆汽车)”可知，这些数字表明人类向大自然排放了大量的二氧化碳，表明处理二氧化碳的必要性，故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前“In sending CO₂ deep beneath the surface of the planet(在在将二氧化碳送到地表以下深处的过程中)”以及划线单词下文“the dugging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels.(在地下挖掘大量的碳作为化石燃料)”可知，之前人类在地下挖掘大量的碳作为化石燃料，现在Edda Aradottir致力于将二氧化碳排放到地球表面深处。这是相反的事情，因此，第二段中带下划线单词可替换为overturn“翻转”。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第三段讲到“Aradottir shows how CO₂ caught from the air is mixed with water, then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so.(Aradottir展示了从空气中捕获的二氧化碳如何与水混合，然后通过一个复杂而详细的管道系统向下输送2500英尺左右。)”可知，这是解释如何将二氧化碳排放到地球表面深处。因此，第三段的主要内容是Aradottir系统的解释。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day.(正如它所表明的那样，我们也许有一天能够在零排放能源的连续循环中充分利用碳。也许吧。有一天。)”可知，作者认为碳去除项目是有希望的。故选D。 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。 Why does our body require warm covers but not our face when it’s cold? The following are the reasons. Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation (隔热). ____16____ Secondly, the air temperature near your head won’t be as cold as the room, because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath. ____17____ Then there is physiology. Your sensation of thermal (热的) comfort is primarily driven by skin temperature. This depends on blood flow to the skin. In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels. ____18____ So, as the temperature of the rest of the skin falls, that of the head remains higher. This is why you can lose plenty of heat via your head in the cold and should wear a hat. There are also differences in the impact of different body regions on the overall sensation of cold and thermal comfort. The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are. ____19____ In a cooling environment, the temperature of the lower back and chest determines the loss of thermal comfort, and during mild exposure to cold, local warming of the chest, rather than the face, produces a strong sensation of comfort. ____20____ So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers. Your nose may get cold, but it won’t stop you sleeping, and it is good to breathe fresh air! A. Remember to put a hat on. B. It often has hair and is insulated by it. C. The latter is warmed in the lungs to about 33℃. D. There is nothing worse than going out in the cold with wet hair. E. This is why you can’t fall asleep until your feet warm up in bed. F. In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much. G. Also, remember that the face is adapted to exposing to the elements. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过了分析头部的隔热和气温、生理学常识、不同身体区域对整体冷、热舒适感觉的差异以及脸部对于外部环境的适应性，阐述了为什么我们的身体需要覆盖物，而脸不需要。 【16题详解】 上文“Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation.”（首先，别忘了你的头是有隔热层的。）提到头有隔热层，空中应该与头和隔热相呼应说明头部的隔热层是什么。根据B选项中“It often has hair and is insulated by it.”（它通常有头发，用它来隔热）出现的hair和insulated与上文一致。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据空前“because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath.（其次，你头部附近的空气温度不会像房间里那么冷，因为你头部周围的小气候会被你头部散发的热量和你肺部呼出的气加热。）”可知从肺部呼吸出的热量与C选项中的latter（后者）相对应，指的就是“在肺中呼出的热量”。同时C选项中的C选项中“lung”和“about 33℃”对应了前一句中的exhale和heat，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据空前“In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels.（在凉爽的环境中，手和脚的血流量会降低到很低的水平。）”和选项F“In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much.（相比之下，流向头部的血液不会减少太多。）”形成对比，同时前文出现的“blood”和F选项中的“blood”，原词复现。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据空前“The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are.（手和脚的温度主导着你对自己有多冷的整体感知。）”可知解释了“为什么人在床上只有脚暖和起来才能睡着的”原因，前句和E选项构成因果关系，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据空的位置是在段首，所以应该是本段的段旨。根据空后“So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers.（所以，在床上保持身体温暖是一个好主意，然后你可以让头部露出被子。）”可知，头部露在外面是可以适应外在的环境，同时，G选项中的also是关键词，是对上文进行补充，阐述的是我们的身体需要覆盖物，而脸不需要的原因。故G选项“另外，记住脸部是适应暴露在外的。”故选G。 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。 Two friends were walking through the desert. Once they had reached the oasis, they decided to rest and recuperate (恢复) before continuing their journey through the vast desert. During some point of the journey they had a (an) ___21___, and one friend raised his hand and slapped the other one in the face angrily. The one who got slapped felt ___22___, but he did not say anything. ___23___, he wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.” They kept on walking until they found a (an) ___24___, where they decided to take a rest and a bath.___25___, the one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, hoping that his best friend would come to his ___26___. His friend saved him instantly. After he ___27___from the near drowning, gasping for breath, he ___28___ hard on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.” ___29___ filled the air as the friend who had both hurt and saved his companion observed the ____30____ actions and reactions. Then he asked his friend, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?” The other friend ____31____, “When someone hurts us but not in an evil manner we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever____32____ it.” And so, their journey continued. Together, they ventured forth, reminding each other to cherish the ability to forgive, to recognize and honor acts of kindness. Truly, it is unavoidable that ____33____ religion, color, or race, ____34____ and arguments will arise in our daily life, but it is ____35____ to keep it in mind to let the “winds of forgiveness” blow away the hatred, while keeping a heart filled with kindness and gratitude as we continue our journey of life. 21.

In fact, it all happened on the day I was born. Saumya is a name that is quite often given to girls, which symbolizes peace and happiness. On the day I was born, my parents decided to name me Saumya. The only catch was that I was a boy, The beginning of high school isn’t easy for anyone, but for me it was particularly hard. I sat during the lunch break, absorbed in my books, trying not to attract a lot of attention to myself. I glanced at my wristwatch-there were only 5 minutes until lunch was over after which I could go back to being unnoticed, I thought. Just then, in a loud and rather harsh voice, a student yelled my name straight across the canteen. At that moment, all my senses numbed (麻木). Then another voice arose, joined by another. Before I knew it the entire canteen was full of my name with girlish overtones, adding additional A’s after my name (‘Saumyaaa’). I dashed to the toilet, tears welling up at the edge of my eyelids. Hot tears wanted to run down my cheek, but I held them back, wanting to keep a brave front. I locked myself up in the toilet, covering my face with my hands as I tried to calm down. “Why did I have to be named Saumya?” “What have I done to be targeted?” and a lot of other thoughts flooded my mind. I could not forget the memories of my tears. There was a time when leaving school seemed like the best choice for me. I could never have imagined that I would have to go through so much for a “name” that wasn’t even in my control. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。 Your name is unique and special, just as you, my mother told me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I did not let my name define (定义) me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Your name is unique and special, just as you,” my mother told me. Her words gave me comfort and, in a way, liberated me. She enlightened me, saying, “Saumya means quietness, and that’s not a weakness, but a strength.” As I gazed at her wise eyes, I sought the belief I needed, and I found it there. She shared inspiring tales of remarkable men who carried unconventional names and achieved greatness, embracing their individuality. Her words planted the seeds of courage in my mind, nurturing my spirit to embrace my own uniqueness. From that day on, I did not let my name define (定义) me. Instead, I immersed myself in activities that highlighted my strengths and abilities. With each debate I won, every article I wrote for the school paper, and each time I helped a fellow student, ‌“Saumya” was transformed from a mere name into representation of who I truly was-reliable, helpful, and strong. My name didn’t change, but its association did, and so did I. Today, I am proud of my name, and I will always be. I finally find peace and happiness. I am thankful for the lesson I learned: The pain and challenges I faced served as necessary stepping stones in my journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者因名字“Saumya”(通常为女孩名)在高中食堂遭同学嘲笑，内心痛苦，甚至想离开学校。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘你的名字和你一样，独特而特别。’母亲对我说。”可知，第一段可描写母亲的话安慰并启发了作者，她解释名字含义，还分享相关故事，让作者有勇气接纳自己的独特。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我不再让我的名字定义我。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过参加活动展现自身能力，让名字有了新的意义，作者也变得自信且为名字感到骄傲。 2. 续写线索：母亲安慰启发——作者接纳独特——参加活动展现能力——名字有新意义——作者为名字骄傲 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①盯着：gaze at/stare at ②寻找：seek/explore/search for ③转变：transform/change/convert 情绪类 ①鼓舞人心的：inspiring/encouraging ②勇气：courage/bravery 【点睛】[高分句型1] She shared inspiring tales of remarkable men who carried unconventional names and achieved greatness, embracing their individuality.(运用了关系代词who引导的限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] Her words planted the seeds of courage in my mind, nurturing my spirit to embrace my own uniqueness.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型3] I am thankful for the lesson I learned(运用了省略关系代词的限制性定语从句) 听力1-5 ABBAC 6-10 BCCBA 11-15 BCAAC 16-20 BACBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 衡阳县一中2024-2025学年上学期高一创新实验班 期末质量检测英语试题卷 注意事项: 1. 时量:120分钟 分值:150分 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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。 1.

My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. Weekends spent relaxing in a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and thinking about the next ice cream. Those days are a long way off. But on Wednesday of last week, when the weather finally cleared, I jumped at the chance to walk outside umbrella-free. I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind. It’s just a short walk from the office and, although it was cold out, it seemed to call out to me. The more I walked, the better the weather got. By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining. I spotted a way by the water that appeared to lead to a sun deck (甲板). I walked up it and was floored by the view that greeted me. The Brooklyn Bridge was in all its glory. There were Adirondack chairs strategically positioned all over the deck to take in the postcard-like scene. I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight. That’s when I realized I was doing exactly what I would’ve done if I were at the beach. Except, of course, I was wearing a big winter coat and there was no ice cream in sight! Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City. 4. What made the author think about the beach? A. The relaxing weekend. B. The delicious ice cream. C. The unbearable weather. D. The summer at Coney Island. 5. Where did the author decide to walk during the lunch break? A. To the fascinating beach. B. To the nearby park. C. To the Brooklyn Bridge. D. To the South Street Seaport. 6 What does the author mean by saying “You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm”? A. Good things always come prior to bad things. B. The weather in New York is unpredictable. C. The seaport is a great place to go after a storm. D. A small escape can bring a refreshing change. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An inspirational winter story. B. An iconic attraction in New York. C. A clear and warm day in cold winter. D. A travel guide to South Street Seaport. C Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence (暴力),“In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and teenagers is not disease or hunger or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Considering this, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? First of all students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students shows that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively unimportant insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in tum can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles. Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country. 8. FromParagraph2 we can learn that _______. A. students tend to become angry easily B. a small conflict can lead to violence C. violence is more likely to happen at lunchtime D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight 9. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5? A. To find out who is to criticize. B. To get ready to try new things. C. To make clear what the real issue is. D.

D Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today. On a lonely, lunar-like valley of Iceland, Edda Aradottir is on a mission to put CO₂ back where it came from. She’s returning a tiny bit of it today but much, much more of it in the years ahead. In sending CO₂ deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most challenging acts of human history: the dugging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels. Aradottir shows how CO₂ caught from the air is mixed with water, then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-colored spots in the rock below. Scientists like Aradottir are working on ambitious — and sometimes controversial (有争议的) — projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical tree”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO₂. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Atop a university building in Zürich, an Uruguayan inventor presents a small bottle of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air. That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day. 12. What purpose do the figures in paragraph 1 serve? A. To show the necessity of removing carbon dioxide. B. To inspire readers’ interest in environmental protection. C. To highlight the amount of cars existing in the world today. D. To explain a commonly accepted reason for global warming. 13. The underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”. A. get B. advertise C. overturn D. discover 14. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. Aradottir’s daily routine. B. Aradottir’s field of study. C. The cost of Aradottir’s project. D. The explanation of Aradottir’s system. 15. What does the author think of the carbon removal projects? A. Educational. B. Expensive. C. Efficient. D. Promising. 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。 Why does our body require warm covers but not our face when it’s cold? The following are the reasons. Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation (隔热). ____16____ Secondly, the air temperature near your head won’t be as cold as the room, because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath. ____17____ Then there is physiology. Your sensation of thermal (热的) comfort is primarily driven by skin temperature. This depends on blood flow to the skin. In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels. ____18____ So, as the temperature of the rest of the skin falls, that of the head remains higher. This is why you can lose plenty of heat via your head in the cold and should wear a hat. There are also differences in the impact of different body regions on the overall sensation of cold and thermal comfort. The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are. ____19____ In a cooling environment, the temperature of the lower back and chest determines the loss of thermal comfort, and during mild exposure to cold, local warming of the chest, rather than the face, produces a strong sensation of comfort. ____20____ So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers. Your nose may get cold, but it won’t stop you sleeping, and it is good to breathe fresh air! A. Remember to put a hat on. B. It often has hair and is insulated by it. C. The latter is warmed in the lungs to about 33℃. D. There is nothing worse than going out in the cold with wet hair. E. This is why you can’t fall asleep until your feet warm up in bed. F. In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much. G. Also, remember that the face is adapted to exposing to the elements. 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。 Two friends were walking through the desert.

In fact, it all happened on the day I was born. Saumya is a name that is quite often given to girls, which symbolizes peace and happiness. On the day I was born, my parents decided to name me Saumya. The only catch was that I was a boy, The beginning of high school isn’t easy for anyone, but for me it was particularly hard. I sat during the lunch break, absorbed in my books, trying not to attract a lot of attention to myself. I glanced at my wristwatch-there were only 5 minutes until lunch was over after which I could go back to being unnoticed, I thought. Just then, in a loud and rather harsh voice, a student yelled my name straight across the canteen. At that moment, all my senses numbed (麻木). Then another voice arose, joined by another. Before I knew it the entire canteen was full of my name with girlish overtones, adding additional A’s after my name (‘Saumyaaa’). I dashed to the toilet, tears welling up at the edge of my eyelids. Hot tears wanted to run down my cheek, but I held them back, wanting to keep a brave front. I locked myself up in the toilet, covering my face with my hands as I tried to calm down. “Why did I have to be named Saumya?” “What have I done to be targeted?” and a lot of other thoughts flooded my mind. I could not forget the memories of my tears. There was a time when leaving school seemed like the best choice for me. I could never have imagined that I would have to go through so much for a “name” that wasn’t even in my control. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。 Your name is unique and special, just as you, my mother told me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I did not let my name define (定义) me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABBAC 6-10 BCCBA 11-15 BCAAC 16-20 BACBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
