The individuals who were near the beach of the beautiful Greek island were seen by people on land throwing fireworks from their ship at around 10:45 pm local time. This seemingly innocent and fun activity, however, ended up setting the surrounding forest area on fire. According to Fire Service authorities from the island, the fire began burning in a particularly difficult-to-access location of Hydra with no road infrastructure (基础设施). Luckily, the centre of the incident was far from any urban settlements and villages. Firefighters approached the site using Coast Guard ships in an attempt to put out the fire from the sea. Many volunteer firefighters also joined the effort to contain the large flames and prevent them from spreading further inland. This could have had destructive consequences for the beautiful Greek island of Hydra. Late on June 22, the Greek Fire Service announced that a total of thirteen people had been arrested, accused of causing a wildfire in the forested area on the island of Hydra. The individuals are expected to be on trial. The island of Hydra belongs administratively to Piraeus, a port city in the region of Attica to which Athens belongs. Greek media reported that all those arrested were crew members of the superyacht. It is available for summer charter(包租)at €249,000 per week, according to several superyacht dealers online. “We are indignant that some people so irresponsibly throw fireworks into a pine forest,” Hydra’s mayor, Giorgos Koukoudakis, told Greek broadcaster ERT. There was also criticism on social media, “Rich people with more money than brains,” wrote one person. 4. Why was it difficult for the firefighters to get close to the fire? A. The fire was too fierce. B. The fire broke out late at night. C. Coast Guard vessels weren’t available. D. The road to the site didn’t exist at all. 5. What does the underlined word “indignant” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Cross. B. Indifferent. C. Embarrassed. D. Impatient. 6. What can we learn from the passage? A. Piraeus is an inland city in Attica. B. Passengers of the yacht were all arrested. C. Wealthy people are not necessarily socially responsible. D. Throwing fireworks around is an innocent and fun activity. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To inform an accident. B. To call for actions to take. C. To give some advice to follow. D. To persuade to believe the truth. C A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes (微生物) living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground. To test the new fuel cell, the researchers used it to power sensors measuring soil condition and detecting touch, a capability that could be valuable for tracking passing animals. To enable wireless communications, the researchers also equipped the soil-powered sensor with a tiny antenna to transmit (传输) data to a neighboring base station by reflecting existing radio frequency signals. Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%. The research was published on Jan. 12 in the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies. “The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing,” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium (锂) and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.” In a search for solutions, the researchers turned to soil microbial fuel cells(MFC), which use special microbes to break down soil and generate a low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever. “These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.” The researchers plan to develop a soil-based MFC made from fully biodegradable (生物可降解的) materials as their next step. 8. What can we know from the new fuel cell? A. It was not limited by soil conditions. B. The power it produced increased by 20%. C. It was made from fully biodegradable materials. D. It will completely replace conventional batteries soon. 9. What can we infer from Bill Yen’s words in paragraph 4? A. Electronic devices are widely used in industries. B. It is essential for our environment to develop the new fuel cell. C. Lithium and heavy metals are dangerous to the environment. D. Current electronic devices can’t provide large amounts of energy. 10. What is George Wells’ attitude toward the fuel cell? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Pessimistic. D. Approving. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Conventional Batteries Are Giving Way to New Fuel Cell. B. Microbes Can Break Down Soil and Generate Energy. C. New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil. D. New Fuel Cell Fuels Underground Sensors in Agriculture. D Who do you hold in higher regard: Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, who said he wakes up at 4 am. and is the last to leave the office, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who said he won’t work past 6 pm on Fridays? Time magazine reported that the answer seems obvious in the US where business and a lack of leisure time have become symbols of high status. Historically, long work hours weren’t associated with wealth or status. In the Roman Empire, the rich divided their day between business and leisure, with business only conducted in the morning. In his 1899 book The Theory of the Leisure Class (《有闲阶级论》), US economist Thorstein Veblen wrote that “obvious lack of labor becomes the conventional mark of superior achievement.” In other words, the wealthier one was, the less one worked. Today, however, reality contradicts Veblen’s theory. Researchers at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth found that those who work more than 40 to 45 hours a week are usually in “highly paid professional positions”, such as lawyers, architects and engineers. But regardless of the profession, a culture of overwork thrives in the US as long hours have become a marker of career success. As Time magazine noted, one reason behind this dramatic shift is “the rise of knowledge-intensive economies”. On the supply side, workers focus heavily on education and skill development, believing their knowledge and skills are most valuable. On the demand side, companies and organizations compete to attract top talent. Essentially, long work hours imply that an individual is in high demand. Rising economic inequality and financial insecurity are also key factors. As the job market grows more competitive, even those near the top of the income ladder feel financially insecure. Study shows that the professions with the largest income gaps are also the ones where people are most likely to work more than 40 hours a week. This indicates that highly paid professionals are more willing to accept a busy schedule because, if they don’t, there are plenty of lower-paid workers ready to take their jobs. In a 1930 essay, British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that the US could “look forward to an age of leisure and abundance without fear”. That vision has clearly not materialized. As AI boosts workplace productivity, will we use the extra time to enjoy our lives, or will we continue to overload our schedules in pursuit of status and self-worth? 12. What marks high status in the US at present? A. Controlling work hours autonomously. B. Going on extended vacations regularly. C. Having a well-balanced work-life style. D. Working long hours with little free time. 13. Why does the author mention the book The Theory of the Leisure Class? A. To indicate the development of society. B. To lead readers to reflect the significance of work. C. To prove wealth is little related to long work hours. D. To persuade people to change their opinion of status. 14. What is a key reason for the shift in how work hours relate to status? A. The change of economic form. B The widespread availability of AI. C. The decline of traditional industries. D. The rising value of seizing more wealth. 15. What can be inferred about highly paid professionals? A. They hardly experience job competition. B. They feel pressured to keep their positions. C. They are more insecure than others in finance. D. They believe success means long work hours. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many other sports tennis is a very old game.

She spiked(大力扣), blocked, and picked up impossible smashes(扣球)from the other team before they hit the floor. Her team members trusted her skills and depended upon her honesty. But Jana hadn’t always been completely honest.. When she was in fifth grade, her friends and she had a huge social studies assignment. They divided up the parts and copied from each other. Then her teacher found three of their notebooks in one desk, all with the same answers. The teacher called in the girls and their parents for a talk. When Jana and her parents went to see her teacher, Jana burst into tears and admitted her mistake. From then on, she promised that she would never cheat again or lie. And she didn’t, even under great pressure. When she was at San Juan High School, her team played Morgan High School in the state volleyball championship. The game was tight. Morgan would score, and then San Juan would score. Near the end of the game, the score was 12 to 14, with Morgan ahead. Morgan only needed one more point to win the state championship. Morgan served to San Juan, and Jana’s team passed the ball to the center. Jana set it up and spiked it down hard on Morgan’s side of the net. A Morgan player dove for the ball and dug it up from the back row. The Morgan setter went underneath it and set the ball up to the hitter, who spiked it to San Juan. Jana blocked the ball and it smashed down, inbounds, on Morgan’s side. The referee(裁判). blew his whistle(哨子)and gave one point to San Juan. Jana knew that her team could tie the game and maybe even win. But there was just one problem. As Jana had blocked the spike from Morgan, she had felt the underside of her arm brush the net. The referee hadn’t seen it. Nobody knew but Jana. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Jana hesitated for a moment about whether to tell the referee about her mistake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The final whistle blew, and the gym erupted in cheers — for Morgan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 漯河市2024—2025学年上学期期末质量监测 高三英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 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，再选涂其他答案标号。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） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将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.

The individuals who were near the beach of the beautiful Greek island were seen by people on land throwing fireworks from their ship at around 10:45 pm local time. This seemingly innocent and fun activity, however, ended up setting the surrounding forest area on fire. According to Fire Service authorities from the island, the fire began burning in a particularly difficult-to-access location of Hydra with no road infrastructure (基础设施). Luckily, the centre of the incident was far from any urban settlements and villages. Firefighters approached the site using Coast Guard ships in an attempt to put out the fire from the sea. Many volunteer firefighters also joined the effort to contain the large flames and prevent them from spreading further inland. This could have had destructive consequences for the beautiful Greek island of Hydra. Late on June 22, the Greek Fire Service announced that a total of thirteen people had been arrested, accused of causing a wildfire in the forested area on the island of Hydra. The individuals are expected to be on trial. The island of Hydra belongs administratively to Piraeus, a port city in the region of Attica to which Athens belongs. Greek media reported that all those arrested were crew members of the superyacht. It is available for summer charter(包租)at €249,000 per week, according to several superyacht dealers online. “We are indignant that some people so irresponsibly throw fireworks into a pine forest,” Hydra’s mayor, Giorgos Koukoudakis, told Greek broadcaster ERT. There was also criticism on social media, “Rich people with more money than brains,” wrote one person. 4. Why was it difficult for the firefighters to get close to the fire? A. The fire was too fierce. B. The fire broke out late at night. C. Coast Guard vessels weren’t available. D. The road to the site didn’t exist at all. 5. What does the underlined word “indignant” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Cross. B. Indifferent. C. Embarrassed. D. Impatient. 6. What can we learn from the passage? A. Piraeus is an inland city in Attica. B Passengers of the yacht were all arrested. C. Wealthy people are not necessarily socially responsible. D. Throwing fireworks around is an innocent and fun activity. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To inform an accident. B. To call for actions to take. C. To give some advice to follow. D. To persuade to believe the truth. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一起由豪华游艇上的乘客在希腊海德拉岛圣尼古拉斯海滩上燃放烟花导致的大火事件，包括事件的起因、经过、后果以及相关的法律行动和社会反响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“According to Fire Service authorities from the island, the fire began burning in a particularly difficult-to-access location of Hydra with no road infrastructure(基础设施).(据该岛消防部门的官员称，火势始于Hydra岛一处交通极为不便、没有道路基础设施的地方。)”可知，火灾发生在Hydra一个特别难以到达的地方，那里根本没有道路基础设施，因此消防员难以接近火源。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“some people so irresponsibly throw fireworks into a pine forest(有些人如此不负责任地往松树林里扔烟花)”以及“There was also criticism on social media, “Rich people with more money than brains,” wrote one person.(社交媒体上也出现了批评之声，一名网友写道：“有钱人有很多钱，但没什么脑子。”)”可推测，这类事情市长的态度是愤怒、生气的。选项A“cross”，意为“愤怒的”，与此相符。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““We are indignant that some people so irresponsibly throw fireworks into a pine forest,” Hydra’s mayor, Giorgos Koukoudakis, told Greek broadcaster ERT. There was also criticism on social media, “Rich people with more money than brains,” wrote one person.(“有些人如此不负责任地往松树林里扔烟花，我们对此感到愤慨，” Hydra岛市长Giorgos Koukoudakis对希腊广播公司ERT表示。社交媒体上也出现了批评之声，一名网友写道：“有钱人有很多钱，但没什么脑子。”)”可推测，市长对人们乱扔烟花行为的愤怒，暗示了有些人虽然富有但缺乏社会责任感。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇点明“Passengers of a superyacht (豪华游艇) caused a large wildfire on the charming beach of Saint Nicholas on the Greek island of Hydra in the late hours of June 21(6月21日深夜，一艘豪华游艇上的乘客在希腊希德拉岛迷人的圣尼古拉斯海滩引发了一场大规模野火。)”，接着详细描述了野火发生的经过、消防员的灭火行动、人员被捕情况等信息。由此可知，文章主要是在向读者传达希腊Hydra岛发生的这场由游艇乘客引发野火的事件，属于告知读者一则事故。故选A。 C A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes (微生物) living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground. To test the new fuel cell, the researchers used it to power sensors measuring soil condition and detecting touch, a capability that could be valuable for tracking passing animals. To enable wireless communications, the researchers also equipped the soil-powered sensor with a tiny antenna to transmit (传输) data to a neighboring base station by reflecting existing radio frequency signals. Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%. The research was published on Jan. 12 in the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies. “The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing,” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium (锂) and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.” In a search for solutions, the researchers turned to soil microbial fuel cells(MFC), which use special microbes to break down soil and generate a low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever. “These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.” The researchers plan to develop a soil-based MFC made from fully biodegradable (生物可降解的) materials as their next step. 8. What can we know from the new fuel cell? A. It was not limited by soil conditions. B. The power it produced increased by 20%. C. It was made from fully biodegradable materials. D. It will completely replace conventional batteries soon. 9. What can we infer from Bill Yen’s words in paragraph 4? A. Electronic devices are widely used in industries. B. It is essential for our environment to develop the new fuel cell. C. Lithium and heavy metals are dangerous to the environment. D. Current electronic devices can’t provide large amounts of energy. 10. What is George Wells’ attitude toward the fuel cell? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Pessimistic. D. Approving. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Conventional Batteries Are Giving Way to New Fuel Cell. B. Microbes Can Break Down Soil and Generate Energy. C. New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil. D. New Fuel Cell Fuels Underground Sensors in Agriculture. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由西北大学领导的研究团队开发的一种新型燃料电池，该电池能够从土壤中的微生物中获取能量，用于为现代农业和绿色基础设施中的地下传感器提供动力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%.(这种燃料电池不仅在潮湿和干燥的环境中都能正常工作，而且其续航能力比同类技术高出120%。)”可知，这种燃料电池在潮湿和干燥的环境中都能正常工作，也就意味着它不受土壤条件的限制。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““The number of electronic devices used in modern agriculture as a way to improve crop productions is constantly growing,” said Northwestern’s Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with numerous devices like these, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium(锂)and heavy metals that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a widespread network of devices.”(该研究的负责人、西北大学的Bill Yen表示：“现代农业中用于提高作物产量的电子设备数量在不断增加。如果我们设想未来有大量这样的设备，我们不可能都用锂和对环境有害的重金属来制造它们。我们需要找到能为广泛分布的设备网络提供少量电力的替代方案。”)”可知，从Bill Yen提到不能用对环境有害的锂和重金属制造电子设备，且需要寻找替代方案，可以推断出开发这种新型燃料电池对环境来说是很有必要的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段““These microbes are common; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author of the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to collect their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy, but we can collect tiny amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”(该研究的资深作者、西北大学的George Wells说：“这些微生物很常见，它们本就存在于各地的土壤中。我们可以用非常简单的工程系统来收集它们产生的电能。我们无法用这种能源为整个城市供电，但可以收集少量能量为实用的低功率应用设备供电。”)”可知，George Wells肯定了利用土壤中微生物发电的方式以及这种燃料电池在低功率应用方面的实用性，表明他对这种燃料电池持赞成态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes(微生物)living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in modern agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries that release harmful chemicals into the ground.(由美国西北大学牵头的一个研究团队研发出一种新型燃料电池，它能从土壤中的微生物获取能量。这种以土壤为动力的技术设备大小与一本标准平装书相当，可为现代农业和绿色基础设施中使用的地下传感器供电。这有可能为那些会向土壤中释放有害化学物质的电池提供一种可持续、可再生的替代方案。)”以及全文内容可知，文章围绕这种新型燃料电池的功能、测试情况、研发背景等方面进行了介绍。选项C“New Fuel Cell Harvests Energy from Microbes in Soil”准确概括了文章的主要内容，即，新型燃料电池从土壤中的微生物获取能量。故选C。 D Who do you hold in higher regard: Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, who said he wakes up at 4 am. and is the last to leave the office, or UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who said he won’t work past 6 pm on Fridays? Time magazine reported that the answer seems obvious in the US where business and a lack of leisure time have become symbols of high status. Historically, long work hours weren’t associated with wealth or status. In the Roman Empire, the rich divided their day between business and leisure, with business only conducted in the morning. In his 1899 book The Theory of the Leisure Class (《有闲阶级论》), US economist Thorstein Veblen wrote that “obvious lack of labor becomes the conventional mark of superior achievement.” In other words, the wealthier one was, the less one worked. Today, however, reality contradicts Veblen’s theory. Researchers at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth found that those who work more than 40 to 45 hours a week are usually in “highly paid professional positions”, such as lawyers, architects and engineers. But regardless of the profession, a culture of overwork thrives in the US as long hours have become a marker of career success. As Time magazine noted, one reason behind this dramatic shift is “the rise of knowledge-intensive economies”. On the supply side, workers focus heavily on education and skill development, believing their knowledge and skills are most valuable. On the demand side, companies and organizations compete to attract top talent. Essentially, long work hours imply that an individual is in high demand. Rising economic inequality and financial insecurity are also key factors. As the job market grows more competitive, even those near the top of the income ladder feel financially insecure. Study shows that the professions with the largest income gaps are also the ones where people are most likely to work more than 40 hours a week. This indicates that highly paid professionals are more willing to accept a busy schedule because, if they don’t, there are plenty of lower-paid workers ready to take their jobs. In a 1930 essay, British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that the US could “look forward to an age of leisure and abundance without fear”. That vision has clearly not materialized. As AI boosts workplace productivity, will we use the extra time to enjoy our lives, or will we continue to overload our schedules in pursuit of status and self-worth? 12. What marks high status in the US at present? A. Controlling work hours autonomously. B. Going on extended vacations regularly. C. Having a well-balanced work-life style. D. Working long hours with little free time. 13. Why does the author mention the book The Theory of the Leisure Class? A. To indicate the development of society. B. To lead readers to reflect the significance of work. C. To prove wealth is little related to long work hours. D. To persuade people to change their opinion of status. 14. What is a key reason for the shift in how work hours relate to status? A. The change of economic form. B. The widespread availability of AI. C. The decline of traditional industries. D. The rising value of seizing more wealth. 15. What can be inferred about highly paid professionals? A. They hardly experience job competition. B. They feel pressured to keep their positions. C. They are more insecure than others in finance. D. They believe success means long work hours. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了现代社会中对于工作时长和地位关系的看法变化，特别是对比了苹果CEO蒂姆·库克和英国首相基尔·斯塔默的不同工作态度和时间管理方式，并探讨了这种变化背后的社会经济原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Time magazine reported that the answer seems obvious in the US where busyness and a lack of leisure time have become symbols of high status.(据《时代》周刊报道，在美国，答案似乎显而易见，因为忙碌和缺少休闲时间已成为高地位的象征)”可知，忙碌和缺少休闲时间已成为高地位的象征。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Historically, long work hours weren’t associated with wealth or status. In the Roman Empire, the rich divided their day between business and leisure, with business only conducted in the morning. In his 1899 book The Theory of the Leisure Class(《有闲阶级论》), US economist Thorstein Veblen wrote that “obvious lack of labor becomes the conventional mark of superior achievement.” In other words, the wealthier one was, the less one worked.(从历史上看，长时间工作与财富或地位并无关联。在罗马帝国时期，富人会将一天的时间分配给工作和休闲，且工作只在上午进行。美国经济学家托斯丹・凡勃伦在1899年出版的《有闲阶级论》一书中写道：“明显不从事劳动成为了卓越成就的传统标志。”换句话说，一个人越富有，工作就越少)”可知，作者通过引用《有闲阶级论》中关于财富和工作时长关系的观点，结合罗马帝国时期富人的工作情况，证明了历史上财富与长时间工作关系不大。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As Time magazine noted, one reason behind this dramatic shift is “the rise of knowledge-intensive economies”. On the supply side, workers focus heavily on education and skill development, believing their knowledge and skills are most valuable. On the demand side, companies and organizations compete to attract top talent. Essentially, long work hours imply that an individual is in high demand.(正如《时代》周刊所指出的，这种巨大转变背后的一个原因是“知识密集型经济的兴起”。从供给方面来看，劳动者非常注重教育和技能发展，认为自己的知识和技能最有价值。从需求方面来看，公司和组织竞相吸引顶尖人才。从本质上讲，长时间工作意味着这个人很抢手。”可知，“知识密集型经济的兴起”体现了经济形式的变化，这是工作时长与地位关系转变的关键原因。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“As the job market grows more competitive, even those near the top of the income ladder feel financially insecure. Study shows that the professions with the largest income gaps are also the ones where people are most likely to work more than 40 hours a week. This indicates that highly paid professionals are more willing to accept a busy schedule because, if they don’t, there are plenty of lower-paid workers ready to take their jobs.(随着就业市场竞争愈发激烈，即使是收入阶梯接近顶端的人也会感到财务上没有保障。研究表明，收入差距最大的职业也是人们最有可能每周工作超过40小时的职业。这表明高薪专业人士更愿意接受忙碌的日程安排，因为如果他们不这样做，有大量低薪工人随时准备接替他们的工作)”可知，因为有大量低薪工人随时准备接替他们的工作，所以高薪专业人士为了保住自己的职位会有压力。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many other sports tennis is a very old game.

(今天，唯一在草地上举行的主要比赛是在温布尔登举行的全英锦标赛。)”可推知过去网球是在草坪上进行的，而现在不是了，设空处应说明这种变化的原因，E选项“但是草地球场维护起来既困难又昂贵。”符合题意，承上启下。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“At each end of the playing area is a baseline. (在比赛区域的两端各有一条底线)”和下文“The area between the two sidelines is called the alley. (两条边线之间的区域称为单打边线外的狭长区域。)”可知这里应该是在介绍网球场地的不同线条，F选项“连接基线的线称为边线。”符合关于场地线条介绍的逻辑。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Other than a court, all you need to play tennis are a racquet, some tennis balls, and one or three other people, depending on which game you play. (除了球场，你打网球只需要一个球拍，一些网球，还有一到三个人，这取决于你打的是哪种比赛。)”和下文“When four people play, it is called doubles. (当四个人打，它被称为双打。)”可知设空处介绍的也应是几个人比赛，D选项“当两个人玩的时候，这个游戏叫做单打。”符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“You score a point when your opponent hits the ball outside the lines or fails to return the ball over the net on the first bounce. The first player to score four points wins a game. After you have won six games, you’ve won a set. (当你的对手把球打到线外或在第一次反弹时没有把球击过网，你就得一分。第一个得四分的选手赢得比赛。赢了六局之后，你就赢了一盘。)”可知这里讲的是比赛怎样计分，推断下文继续说比赛的计分和赛制，A选项“一场比赛有几局。”符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Like other sports, you need to practice in order to become a good tennis player. (像其他运动一样，你需要练习才能成为一名优秀的网球运动员。)”说明网球练习很重要，C选项“你练习得越多，你就会学得越好。”进一步强调练习的重要性，符合题意。故选C。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I heard some good news recently.

She spiked(大力扣), blocked, and picked up impossible smashes(扣球)from the other team before they hit the floor. Her team members trusted her skills and depended upon her honesty. But Jana hadn’t always been completely honest.. When she was in fifth grade, her friends and she had a huge social studies assignment. They divided up the parts and copied from each other. Then her teacher found three of their notebooks in one desk, all with the same answers. The teacher called in the girls and their parents for a talk. When Jana and her parents went to see her teacher, Jana burst into tears and admitted her mistake. From then on, she promised that she would never cheat again or lie. And she didn’t, even under great pressure. When she was at San Juan High School, her team played Morgan High School in the state volleyball championship. The game was tight. Morgan would score, and then San Juan would score. Near the end of the game, the score was 12 to 14, with Morgan ahead. Morgan only needed one more point to win the state championship. Morgan served to San Juan, and Jana’s team passed the ball to the center. Jana set it up and spiked it down hard on Morgan’s side of the net. A Morgan player dove for the ball and dug it up from the back row. The Morgan setter went underneath it and set the ball up to the hitter, who spiked it to San Juan. Jana blocked the ball and it smashed down, inbounds, on Morgan’s side. The referee(裁判). blew his whistle(哨子)and gave one point to San Juan. Jana knew that her team could tie the game and maybe even win. But there was just one problem. As Jana had blocked the spike from Morgan, she had felt the underside of her arm brush the net. The referee hadn’t seen it. Nobody knew but Jana. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Jana hesitated for a moment about whether to tell the referee about her mistake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The final whistle blew, and the gym erupted in cheers — for Morgan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jana hesitated for a moment about whether to tell the referee about her mistake. She knew that revealing the truth might cost her team the precious opportunity to tie the game or even snatch the championship. However, the promise she had made years ago when she cheated in fifth grade resonated loudly in her mind. With a deep breath and a determined look in her eyes, Jana mustered up the courage and walked up to the referee. In a shaky but clear voice, she admitted that she had touched the net. The referee, looking both surprised and impressed, reversed the point, and now Morgan was just one point away from claiming victory. The final whistle blew, and the gym erupted in cheers — for Morgan. Jana’s teammates stared at her in disbelief and disappointment at first. But when she explained what had happened and why she had made that decision, understanding dawned on their faces. Jana felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. Even though her team lost the game, she knew she had done the right thing. Her integrity and commitment to honesty were more valuable than any championship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jana Benally在排球比赛中的诚实行为，展现了她的个人成长和道德坚守。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jana犹豫了片刻，不知道是否要把自己的失误告诉裁判。”以及第二段首句内容“终场哨声响起，体育馆里爆发出摩根队支持者的欢呼声。”可知，第一段可描写Jana鼓起勇气告知了裁判自己的失误。 ②由第二段首句内容“终场哨声响起，体育馆里爆发出摩根队支持者的欢呼声。”可知，第二段可描写尽管摩根队赢得了比赛，但是Jana还是赢得了人们的尊重。 2.续写线索：Jana犹豫着想要告诉裁判自己的失误——但是，她很担心自己这样做会让自己的球队失去夺冠的机会——这时Jana想起自己曾经的承诺——于是，她鼓起勇气向裁判说明一切——裁判非常惊讶，也很钦佩——比赛结束了，摩根队赢得了比赛——队友们非常失望地看着Jana——Jana向队友解释了事情的经过，得知真相后，队友们都表示理解——虽然输掉了比赛，Jana却赢得了人们的尊重 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓起：muster up/build up ②解释：explain/make an explanation ③出现：dawn on/appear 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②失望：disappointment/disenchantment 【点睛】【高分句型1】She knew that revealing the truth might cost her team the precious opportunity to tie the game or even snatch the championship.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】However, the promise she had made years ago when she cheated in fifth grade resonated loudly in her mind.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句和when引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
