新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高三下学期2月份开学考试英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息; 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A On a summer trip to Maharashtra, India, Aryaman Khandelwal saw a little boy, no more than ten years old, carrying a bag of corn twice his size. “They had to work so hard to make do,” Khandelwal said, “Something needed to change. ” Then a senior at Parkland High School, Khandelwal went on to design Get2Greater over the next couple of years, an AI-driven app to improve access to healthcare services. His efforts earned him the GloriaBarron Prize, which is given to young people with significant social initiatives. The young man was passionate about improving healthcare in Maharashtra, a place that lacked qualified doctors and healthcare workers. Moreover, there were many quacks, who might quit studying after a year of medicine school and return home as “healthcare providers”. Then Khandelwal was introduced to the a MAHAN Trust, a healthcare organization serving rural parts of Maharashtra. At the time, the MAHAN Trust was training village health workers to carry out basic medical tasks, such as taking measurements and transporting data to hospitals for review. Through them, Khandelwal learned that only 10 to 15 trained workers served a population of 200,000. While the method showed results, it was time-consuming and required significant improvement to handle the large volume of cases more efficiently. That’s where Get2Greater came in — it separates the unhealthy from the healthy, so doctors can focus on more pressing cases. The app can record basic health-related data points, compile (汇编) them in order of priority and send them to doctors nearby. Khandelwal sent a tablet computer equipped with a basic software prototype (软件原型) to the MAHAN Trust and established a line of communication with healthcare workers there. “I asked them to provide feedback on the app,” he said. Khandelwal’s proposal won him funding and after numerous trials, he created a Wi-Fi component so the devices could connect to the local hospitals. He has also been in talks with the UN to help take the device to other parts of the world. 1. What does the underlined word “quacks” in paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Students who quit school. B. Doctors who are unqualified. C. Nurses who work in hospitals. D. Professionals who help in healthcare work. 2. What was the challenge faced by the MAHAN Trust? A. The difficulty in transporting data accurately. B. Village health workers’ unwillingness to be trained. C. Insufficient healthcare providers for vast communities. D. Lack of medical equipment for performing medical tasks. 3. How does the app Get2Greater function? A. By cutting healthcare costs for patients. B. By processing data for doctors’ attention. C. By automatically recording treatment process. D. By identifying the symptoms quickly and correctly. 4. Which of the following can best describe Khandelwal? A. Innovative and committed. B. Confident and modest. C. Humble and determined. D. Generous and ambitious. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Aryaman Khandelwal看到印度马哈拉施特拉邦医疗现状后，历时数年设计出Get2Greater应用程序以改善医疗服务的故事。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“a place that lacked qualified doctors and healthcare workers(缺乏合格医生和保健工作者的地方)”和后文“who might quit studying after a year of medicine school and return home as ‘healthcare providers’.(他们可能在医学院学习一年后就辍学回家，然后以‘医疗服务提供者’自居)”可知，这个地方缺乏合格的医生，他们没有完成医学学习就开始提供医疗服务，显然是没有资质的。所以，划线词quacks指的是“没有资质的医生；江湖郎中”，与同义“Doctors who are unqualified.”。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the time, the MAHAN Trust was training village health workers to carry out basic medical tasks, such as taking measurements and transporting data to hospitals for review. Through them, Khandelwal learned that only 10 to 15 trained workers served a population of 200,000.(当时，MAHAN信托正在培训乡村卫生工作者执行基本医疗任务，例如测量和将数据传送到医院进行审查。通过他们，Khandelwal了解到只有10到15名训练有素的卫生工作者为20万人口服务)”可知，MAHAN信托面临的挑战是广大社区的医疗服务提供者不足。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“That’s where Get2Greater came in — it separates the unhealthy from the healthy, so doctors can focus on more pressing cases. The app can record basic health related data points, compile (汇编) them in order of priority and send them to doctors nearby.(这就是Get2Greater发挥作用的地方——它能将不健康的人与健康的人区分开来，这样医生就可以专注于更紧急的病例。该应用程序可以记录基本的健康相关数据点，按优先级汇编这些数据，并将其发送给附近的医生)”可知，Get2Greater应用程序通过处理数据让医生关注更紧急的病例来发挥作用。故选B项。 4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Then a senior at Parkland High School, Khandelwal went on to design Get2Greater over the next couple of years, an AI driven app to improve access to healthcare services.(当时还是帕克兰高中高年级学生的Khandelwal，在接下来的几年里继续设计了Get2Greater，这是一款由人工智能驱动的应用程序，旨在改善医疗服务的可及性)”以及Khandelwal后续不断改进应用程序等一系列努力可知，他有创新精神且有坚定的决心和投入。所以他是创新且有奉献精神的。故选A项。 B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 5. What was the soil problem in the author’s garden? A. Wet and salty. B. Poor and stony. C. Dry and sandy. D. Acidic and weedy. 6. What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods? A. Limiting plant variety. B. Adopting a high-tech approach. C. Giving more intervention. D. Creating a sustainable environment. 7. Why does the author mention the replanting in May? A. To introduce different species. B. To prove the garden shelters insects. C To show the soil has come to life. D. To explain the transplanting process. 8. What is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Soil has a soul. B. Life is well defined. C. Life has complexity. D. Soil is the source of life. 【答案】5. B 6. D 7. C 8. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者改造花园土壤的过程，通过可持续方法恢复土壤生机，并领悟到土壤如同有生命的存在。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. (然而，我很快发现土壤贫瘠，粘土多，到处都是石头。)”可知，作者花园里的土壤问题是贫瘠且多石的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. (现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少对土壤的干扰并强调生物多样性。)”以及后续描写作者尝试应用这些方法，包括让植物自然生长和分解，引入不同的植物和恢复其生态群落等，可推断出作者园艺方法的重点是创造一个可持续的环境。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). (五月份，我决定移栽一株开花的植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生命出现了。蚯蚓从根部悬垂下来，一只长腿蜘蛛急忙寻找遮蔽处。在植物下方，我还注意到了细小的白色真菌菌丝。)”以及最后一段中“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. (我用手指划过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。)”可推知，作者提到五月的重新种植是为了展示土壤已经恢复了活力。故选C。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. (它不仅仅是一种承载生命的介质，而是一个独立的生命体。尽管科学界对生命的定义尚未达成一致，但教科书强调了一些广泛用于区分生物与非生物的标准。土壤符合其中的许多标准：它具有高度有序的结构，具备积极自我保护的能力，能够生长，能够呼吸，并且也可能会死亡。)”可知，最后一段传达的是“土壤有灵魂”的意思。故选A。 C In early August, the sandy hills along the coast of La Libertad, in northern Peru, are alive with bluish-purple fruit. The region, thought unsuitable for blueberries just over a decade ago, is now placing Peru at the forefront of the global blueberry market. Alvaro Espinoza, an agricultural engineer, was among the first to experiment with blueberries in Peru 15 years ago, when the fruit was unknown in the country. “People called me crazy,” he recalls. Since then, Peru’s blueberry industry has been growing rapidly, from planting only a few hundred acres of blueberries in 2012 to the world’s top exporter of fresh blueberries for the last five years. Inspired by the success of their Chilean neighbors, Peruvian entrepreneurs began exploring a local blueberry market in the early 2000s. However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. With this variety identified, he invested $300 to start a company that became a Peruvian blueberry leader, helping Peru’s blueberry industry expand to over 49,000acres. Today, Peru exports over twice as many blueberries as its nearest competitors, with over half heading to the US, where the country supplies 40% of fresh imports. But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. This experience has accelerated efforts to develop new, genetically improved blueberry varieties that can thrive in even hotter climates. To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. 9. Why did people initially think blueberries couldn’t row in Peru? A. The soil was too salty for blueberries. B. The climate was thought to be unsuitable. C. Peru lacked the right equipment for farming. D. Blueberries were unknown to people in the country. 10. How did Carlos Gerda contribute to Peru’s blueberry industry? A. He promoted Pera’s blueberries in global markets. B. He found a suitable blueberry variety for Peruvian climate. C. He carried out researches into blueberry farming in the US. D. He created heat-tolerant plants and produced “jumbo” berries. 11. What major challenge did Peru’s blueberry industry face last year? A. A shortage of new blueberry varieties. B. A new competitor entering the market. C. Unusually hot temperature reducing the blueberry output. D. A significant decrease in global demand for fresh blueberries. 12. What does the undealined word “robust” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Fast-growing B. Good-quality. C. High in demand. D. Strong and adaptable. 【答案】9. B 10. B 11. C 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。秘鲁蓝莓产业快速增长，成为全球最大出口国，尽管面临气候变化带来的挑战，科学家们正在开发耐热的蓝莓新品种以应对未来的气候变化。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. (然而，传统观念认为，蓝莓需要在45华氏度以下的温度中才能茁壮成长，而秘鲁海岸并不具备这样的条件。)”可知，人们最初认为蓝莓不能在秘鲁生长是因为人们认为气候不适宜。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. (秘鲁企业家Carlos Gereda是该行业的先驱，从2006年开始前往智利学习蓝莓种植技术。在一次旅行中，他带回了14个品种，在秘鲁的沙漠中进行测试。他花了两年时间才找到了合适的品种，即名为Biloxi的蓝莓。)”可知，Carlos Gereda找到了适合秘鲁气候的蓝莓品种，为秘鲁蓝莓产业做出贡献。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. (然而，去年，这一繁荣景象遭遇了首次挫折。一场由厄尔尼诺现象引发的热浪袭击了秘鲁北部，严重损害了蓝莓作物，导致产量下降了25%。)”可知，去年异常高温导致蓝莓产量下降。故选C。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. (为了创造这些robust品种，科学家们开发了新的种子，并经过数年的评估，以选择出最优秀的个体。他们的目标是培育出耐热植物，并产出“巨型”蓝莓——直径达到或超过一英寸，以满足全球市场的需求。)”可知，这里指的是能够在极端气候条件下生长并且恢复的能力，即强大且具有适应性的植物。因此，robust意思是“健壮的，适应性强的”，与选项D“strong and adaptable (强壮且适应性强)”意思相符。故选D。 D Here are a group of everyday people who saw problems, and now their solutions are making the world a better place. Ron Davis Alvarez Ron Davis Alvarez, a product of Venezuela’s El Sistema, a program offering free classical music training to disadvantaged children, founded the Dream Orchestra in Sweden. This orchestra brings together over 400 people from more than 25 nationalities, ranging from 3 to 56 years old, including immigrants, refugees, second-generation immigrants, and native Swedes.

Everything was frozen solid. As we hadn’t heating equipment in our classroom, most of us wore thick and warm clothes. Then, by chance I discovered under Henry’s dirty woolen coat, there was just a short-sleeved shirt. It was so strange that I couldn’t help wondering whether Henry was crazy to make such a choice. I told this to the boys in my class. “How stupid!” We all ran to see Henry and jokingly pulled off his coat. Henry stepped back, shaking with both cold and anger. I found that tears welled into his eyes. When I went back home, I told Mom about “the stupid choice” Henry had made. Mom fell silent. Then she made a phone call. The next day, she told me to bring a package to the school. “Give it to Henry. Tell him to put on the clothes in it.” “Why?” As a fourth-grader, I wasn’t wise enough to see something hidden behind. It was years later that I understood that Henry’s family only had basic necessities, and there was little money for something else beyond food and shelter. Mom hugged me and said softly, “Guess why a hungry person doesn’t eat?” “Because he can’t get any food to eat,” I answered loudly. “Exactly,” Mom said. “So, why doesn’t Henry wear a thick and warm sweater?” I was aware of the meaning of my mother’s words. It made me feel guilty. Mom said it was unkind to make fun of disadvantaged people. And Mom also told me to “see” through my heart, but not just through my eyes. I wondered “How?” At the end of the term, the teacher told us we were going to take a class picture as, for some reason, we would break up when we stepped into the fifth grade. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with happy smiles. The teacher told us anyone who paid a dollar would bring a class picture back home. I could hardly wait to get my first class picture. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The photo was so cheap that I thought everyone could afford it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I wondered how Henry would react when he received the photo. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The photo was so cheap that I thought everyone could afford it. I eagerly handed over my dollar, imagining how proud I would feel holding the class picture in my hands. It was a valuable memory of our time together, a snapshot of friendships and shared experiences. Yet, as I glanced at Henry, who stood quietly at the edge of the group, I felt kind of unease. Would he be able to afford the photo? The thought lingered in my mind, casting a shadow over my excitement. So I volunteered to pay for Henry’s photo. I wanted to help Henry and let him know he was part of our class. I wondered how Henry would react when he received the photo. The next day, as the teacher distributed the photos, I watched Henry closely. He hesitated before taking his copy, his fingers trembling slightly. Then, to my surprise, he looked up and gave a grateful smile. In that moment, I realized that the photo wasn’t just a piece of paper to him — it was a symbol of belonging, a reminder that he was part of the class. It also made me proud of myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以班级同学为线索展开，故事讲述了作者发现同学Henry在寒冷的天气里，只在羊毛大衣下穿了短袖衬衫，认为他是愚蠢的，并和同学一起取笑他。放学后作者把此事告诉妈妈，妈妈让他给Henry送衣服，并教导他不应嘲笑弱势群体。作者受到妈妈的启发，在学期结束时为Henry买了一张班级照。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“这张照片太便宜了，我以为每个人都买得起。”可知，第一段可描述作者发现Henry沉默不语，作者思考Henry买不买得起照片后，想帮助Henry，于是替他交钱买一张班级照。 ②由第二段句首内容“我想知道亨利收到照片时会作何反应。”可知，第二段描述Henry收到照片时的感受和反应，以及作者的自豪。 2.续写线索：作者看到Henry沉默不语——作者思考Henry买不买得起照片——决定为Henry付钱——Henry收到照片——Henry开心微笑——作者感到自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①瞥一眼：glance at → give a glimpse of ②帮助某人：help sb. → give sb. a hand ③分发：distribute → hand out 情绪类： ①兴奋：excitement → exhilaration ②惊喜：surprise → amazement / astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I eagerly handed over my dollar, imagining how proud I would feel holding the class picture in my hands.

His efforts earned him the GloriaBarron Prize, which is given to young people with significant social initiatives. The young man was passionate about improving healthcare in Maharashtra, a place that lacked qualified doctors and healthcare workers. Moreover, there were many quacks, who might quit studying after a year of medicine school and return home as “healthcare providers”. Then Khandelwal was introduced to the a MAHAN Trust, a healthcare organization serving rural parts of Maharashtra. At the time, the MAHAN Trust was training village health workers to carry out basic medical tasks, such as taking measurements and transporting data to hospitals for review. Through them, Khandelwal learned that only 10 to 15 trained workers served a population of 200,000. While the method showed results, it was time-consuming and required significant improvement to handle the large volume of cases more efficiently. That’s where Get2Greater came in — it separates the unhealthy from the healthy, so doctors can focus on more pressing cases. The app can record basic health-related data points, compile (汇编) them in order of priority and send them to doctors nearby. Khandelwal sent a tablet computer equipped with a basic software prototype (软件原型) to the MAHAN Trust and established a line of communication with healthcare workers there. “I asked them to provide feedback on the app,” he said. Khandelwal’s proposal won him funding and after numerous trials, he created a Wi-Fi component so the devices could connect to the local hospitals. He has also been in talks with the UN to help take the device to other parts of the world. 1. What does the underlined word “quacks” in paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Students who quit school. B. Doctors who are unqualified. C. Nurses who work in hospitals. D. Professionals who help in healthcare work. 2. What was the challenge faced by the MAHAN Trust? A. The difficulty in transporting data accurately. B. Village health workers’ unwillingness to be trained. C. Insufficient healthcare providers for vast communities. D. Lack of medical equipment for performing medical tasks. 3. How does the app Get2Greater function? A. By cutting healthcare costs for patients. B. By processing data for doctors’ attention. C. By automatically recording treatment process. D. By identifying the symptoms quickly and correctly. 4. Which of the following can best describe Khandelwal? A. Innovative and committed. B. Confident and modest. C. Humble and determined. D. Generous and ambitious. B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 5. What was the soil problem in the author’s garden? A. Wet and salty. B. Poor and stony. C. Dry and sandy. D. Acidic and weedy. 6. What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods? A. Limiting plant variety. B. Adopting a high-tech approach. C. Giving more intervention. D. Creating a sustainable environment. 7. Why does the author mention the replanting in May? A. To introduce different species. B. To prove the garden shelters insects. C. To show the soil has come to life. D. To explain the transplanting process. 8. What is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Soil has a soul. B. Life is well defined. C. Life has complexity. D. Soil is the source of life. C In early August, the sandy hills along the coast of La Libertad, in northern Peru, are alive with bluish-purple fruit. The region, thought unsuitable for blueberries just over a decade ago, is now placing Peru at the forefront of the global blueberry market. Alvaro Espinoza, an agricultural engineer, was among the first to experiment with blueberries in Peru 15 years ago, when the fruit was unknown in the country. “People called me crazy,” he recalls. Since then, Peru’s blueberry industry has been growing rapidly, from planting only a few hundred acres of blueberries in 2012 to the world’s top exporter of fresh blueberries for the last five years. Inspired by the success of their Chilean neighbors, Peruvian entrepreneurs began exploring a local blueberry market in the early 2000s. However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. With this variety identified, he invested $300 to start a company that became a Peruvian blueberry leader, helping Peru’s blueberry industry expand to over 49,000acres. Today, Peru exports over twice as many blueberries as its nearest competitors, with over half heading to the US, where the country supplies 40% of fresh imports. But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. This experience has accelerated efforts to develop new, genetically improved blueberry varieties that can thrive in even hotter climates. To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. 9. Why did people initially think blueberries couldn’t row in Peru? A. The soil was too salty for blueberries. B. The climate was thought to be unsuitable. C. Peru lacked the right equipment for farming. D. Blueberries were unknown to people in the country. 10. How did Carlos Gerda contribute to Peru’s blueberry industry? A. He promoted Pera’s blueberries in global markets. B. He found a suitable blueberry variety for Peruvian climate. C. He carried out researches into blueberry farming in the US. D. He created heat-tolerant plants and produced “jumbo” berries. 11. What major challenge did Peru’s blueberry industry face last year? A. A shortage of new blueberry varieties. B. A new competitor entering the market. C. Unusually hot temperature reducing the blueberry output. D. A significant decrease in global demand for fresh blueberries. 12. What does the undealined word “robust” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Fast-growing B. Good-quality. C. High in demand. D. Strong and adaptable. D Here are a group of everyday people who saw problems, and now their solutions are making the world a better place.

Everything was frozen solid. As we hadn’t heating equipment in our classroom, most of us wore thick and warm clothes. Then, by chance I discovered under Henry’s dirty woolen coat, there was just a short-sleeved shirt. It was so strange that I couldn’t help wondering whether Henry was crazy to make such a choice. I told this to the boys in my class. “How stupid!” We all ran to see Henry and jokingly pulled off his coat. Henry stepped back, shaking with both cold and anger. I found that tears welled into his eyes. When I went back home, I told Mom about “the stupid choice” Henry had made. Mom fell silent. Then she made a phone call. The next day, she told me to bring a package to the school. “Give it to Henry. Tell him to put on the clothes in it.” “Why?” As a fourth-grader, I wasn’t wise enough to see something hidden behind. It was years later that I understood that Henry’s family only had basic necessities, and there was little money for something else beyond food and shelter. Mom hugged me and said softly, “Guess why a hungry person doesn’t eat?” “Because he can’t get any food to eat,” I answered loudly. “Exactly,” Mom said. “So, why doesn’t Henry wear a thick and warm sweater?” I was aware of the meaning of my mother’s words. It made me feel guilty. Mom said it was unkind to make fun of disadvantaged people. And Mom also told me to “see” through my heart, but not just through my eyes. I wondered “How?” At the end of the term, the teacher told us we were going to take a class picture as, for some reason, we would break up when we stepped into the fifth grade. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with happy smiles. The teacher told us anyone who paid a dollar would bring a class picture back home. I could hardly wait to get my first class picture. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The photo was so cheap that I thought everyone could afford it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I wondered how Henry would react when he received the photo. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. 大学生活即将开始，你将面对新的学习和生活环境，请根据提示写一篇英语短文谈谈你打算如何安排你的大学生活。要点如下： 1. 学习方面的安排； 2. 生活方面的计划； 3. 课余生活的计划； 4. 如何对待人际关系。 注意： 1. 词数不少于100，开头语已为你写好。 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3. 文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称。 I will go to college in the near future. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
