B Having spent numerous hours of her middle school days working on the SmartCane, a sensor-enabled walking assistance stick intended for people with vision problems, Riya Karumanchi made it and won multiple awards for it. Her inspiration for the cane was stimulated when she visited a friend’s house and spotted his blind grandmother struggling with her moving and sensing. She found herself feeling sympathy for her helplessness and bitterness. Riya’s initial idea began with smart shoes, which would provide feedback in the form of vibration (震动) to guide the wearers to their destinations. However, if the shoes were to lose power, it would leave the users stuck where they were. “The reason why we chose to adopt the technology on the SmartCane was that if it failed to work, we wouldn’t be putting the user at risk,” said Riya. Her next idea built upon the traditional white cane for the blind by adding an ultrasonic sensor that could detect barriers above the knee level. Vibration motors in the cane’s handle indicate barriers to the user. However, Riya didn’t want to stop there and added a panic button that would alert emergency services, as well as GPS navigation through haptic (触觉的) feedback. For example, the cane’s handle would vibrate twice for “turn right", and once for “turn left’. Along the way to developing her full-featured design, Riya took advantage of every opportunity she had to get exposure for her design, to receive feedback on it and advance it. She first presented it at her school and regional science fair with her partner. She then took her design to a challenge to create a health-care product, where Riya joined a team of eight participants and set to work developing the SmartCane’s cutting-edge features. “I met with many real-world challenges in the project. For example, people may not always like your idea. So you have to put in effort and time to improve it continually. I got a taste of real life. Now I’ve got used to presenting my ideas, talking to judges, answering questions, and managing my time between school and the SmartCane projects,” said Riya. 24. What set off Riya’s idea for the invention of SmartCane? A. Her wish for a prize. B. The request from her friend. C. The school assignment. D. Her pity for a visually disabled lady. 25. What is the problem with smart shoes? A. Their power failure will trap users. B. They can’t give real-time feedback. C. They’re heavy and uncomfortable to wear. D. Their sensors will lead users to wrong positions. 26. What quality of Riya is highlighted in paragraph 3 and 4? A. Her generosity. B. Her innovative spirit. C. Her cooperativeness. D. Her optimistic attitude. 27. How has the project affected Riya? A. It has shifted her personality. B. She has acquired many skills. C. She has experienced loneliness. D. It has solidified her belief in humanity. C As a renewable and clean energy source, wind energy is sharply rising in the United States. In 2020, turbines (风力涡轮) generated about 8 percent of the country’s electricity-more than 80 times the share of wind-generated electricity in 2000-according to the U.S. Energy Information Department. While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, scientists say, it could be bad news for birds. An estimated 140,000 to 500,000 birds die each year due to turbine crashes. Bird deaths could rise to 1.4 million per year if the U.S. Department of Energy achieves its goal of expanding wind energy to 20 percent of the country’s total electricity generation by 2030. To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. Unlike traditional survey data, which cover limited time periods or locations, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. Citizen science is already proving that it can fill vital information gaps. From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. Using that treasure house of data, conservation scientist Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and his work fellows estimated where in the United States the birds would be most plentiful throughout the year and face the highest risk of crashing with wind turbines. “Citizen science data should inform decisions about where to build wind turbines,” Viviana argues. “What we’re able to do is really drawing on the strength that only citizen science has.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended using the team’s bald eagle maps to identify low-risk crash areas suitable for building wind turbines. 28. What does the underlined word “curbing” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Monitoring. B. Strengthening. C. Documenting. D. Tackling. 29. What advantage do citizen science data have over traditional survey data? A. They’re more extensive. B. They’re less restricted in use. C. They’re more easily available. D. They’re less expensive to collect. 30. In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to _______. A. make a definition B. offer suggestions C. illustrate with an example D. reach a conclusion 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wind Turbines: Threats to Birds. B. How to Decide Where to Build Wind Farms. C. Wind Energy: America’s Major Electricity Source. D. Citizen Science Contributes to Turbine-related Bird Safety. D Physical cash not only influences how much we spend but also facilitates an intense sense of psychological ownership that digital payments don’t have, according to new research. The study suggests as cash disappears from our wallets, so too does our awareness of spending, leading to unthinking and unnecessary buying. Maintaining a physical element in our payment systems may be vital for promoting responsible spending behaviors. Dr Jashim Khan, lead-author of the study said, “The nature of cash — its smell, feel and the act of counting it — creates an emotional connection that digital payments lack. When handling cash, we aren’t just spending money; we’re parting with a piece of ourselves.” The research team conducted their study in two distinct cultures, New Zealand and China, using focus groups and open-ended questionnaires to gather rich, detailed data about consumer experiences with cash and cashless payment methods. Participants were asked to describe their feelings and behaviors surrounding the use of different payment modes. They found that cash promotes heightened awareness of spending, while cards and apps often lead to a disconnection from the money being spent. While 50% of transactions in China are made through app-based payments, participants expressed a lessened sense of ownership over their funds. Plus, happy and secure as people feel using third-party payment apps, they at times struggle with a sense of loss when parting with cash. In contrast, the ease of digital payments often results in mindless spending, as the credibility of cash is replaced by abstract numbers on a screen. The research shows cash. isn’t just money — it’s a way to stay connected to what we spend. Holding cash in our hands reminds us of its value, something that digital payments can make easy to forget. Moving to a cashless society means we need to understand how different payment choices affect us, not just financially but emotionally. Keeping this in mind enables us to make better decisions concerning money in a world where money often feels invisible. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The emotional weight of cash. B. The popularity of digital payments. C. The reasons for currency exchange. D. The consequences of overconsumption. 33. How did the researchers get the outcome of their study? A. By interviewing high-income groups. B. By studying existing theories on money. C. By summarizing replies from respondents. D. By observing consumers’ behaviors firsthand. 34. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. People should use money wisely. B. Money makes the world go round. C. Cash is inconvenient and outdated. D. Cash payment is safer than digital payments. 35. In which publication is the text most likely to appear? A. Motor Trend, B. Science Daily. C. Art and Design. D. Muscle and Fitness. 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。 As a high school student, it’s never too early to start thinking about your future career. ___36___ Here are some steps to help you make an informed decision about your future and initiate a rewarding career path. ___37___ What are your interests?

Jacob, a bright-eyed and energetic boy, had great memories of the Halloween night. The air was clear and cool, filled with the smell of autumn leaves and the distant sound of laughter. As the Halloween night settled over the neighborhood, the streets were brightened with the warm, shining light of pumpkin (南瓜) lanterns. Wearing a variety of colorful costumes, the children, dressed up as supermen, ghosts, batmen, spider men or princesses, wandered in the streets excitedly. Carrying their big candy bags from house to house, they knocked at every neighboring door, shouting “Trick or Treat”, and the house owners who answered the door would hand them candies smilingly. Before Halloween, Jacob had been looking forward to its coming in a splendid way. He had particularly planned his costume and couldn't wait to fill his candy bag. But things didn't go as planned. Just two days before the big night, Jacob was struck with a severe illness that landed him in the hospital. He received a medical operation and it was clear that there would be no trick-or-treating for him this year. The hospital room Jacob stayed in was decorated with get-well cards, flowers and balloons from his friends and relatives. Jacob lay in bed with a pale face, weak and sad. Seeing Jacob's condition, the single mother Amy was heartbroken. She knew how much Halloween meant to her son, and she couldn't bear the thought of him missing out on the fun. Meanwhile, she knew kids who knocked at their door would be disappointed if there was no answer to the doorbell without a reason. She thought about it over and over again and finally an idea occurred to her: A visual camera (可视化摄像头) connected to her cellphone, a note, and a basket full of candies would work. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Amy returned home and took immediate action. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The “superman” put all his candies into the basket instead of taking one from it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第一学期期末学业水平诊断 高二英语 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和试卷指定位置上。 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。 3．考试结束后，只交答题卡。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man going to buy?

Her inspiration for the cane was stimulated when she visited a friend’s house and spotted his blind grandmother struggling with her moving and sensing. She found herself feeling sympathy for her helplessness and bitterness. Riya’s initial idea began with smart shoes, which would provide feedback in the form of vibration (震动) to guide the wearers to their destinations. However, if the shoes were to lose power, it would leave the users stuck where they were. “The reason why we chose to adopt the technology on the SmartCane was that if it failed to work, we wouldn’t be putting the user at risk,” said Riya. Her next idea built upon the traditional white cane for the blind by adding an ultrasonic sensor that could detect barriers above the knee level. Vibration motors in the cane’s handle indicate barriers to the user. However, Riya didn’t want to stop there and added a panic button that would alert emergency services, as well as GPS navigation through haptic (触觉的) feedback. For example, the cane’s handle would vibrate twice for “turn right", and once for “turn left’. Along the way to developing her full-featured design, Riya took advantage of every opportunity she had to get exposure for her design, to receive feedback on it and advance it. She first presented it at her school and regional science fair with her partner. She then took her design to a challenge to create a health-care product, where Riya joined a team of eight participants and set to work developing the SmartCane’s cutting-edge features. “I met with many real-world challenges in the project. For example, people may not always like your idea. So you have to put in effort and time to improve it continually. I got a taste of real life. Now I’ve got used to presenting my ideas, talking to judges, answering questions, and managing my time between school and the SmartCane projects,” said Riya. 24. What set off Riya’s idea for the invention of SmartCane? A. Her wish for a prize. B. The request from her friend. C. The school assignment. D. Her pity for a visually disabled lady. 25. What is the problem with smart shoes? A. Their power failure will trap users. B. They can’t give real-time feedback. C. They’re heavy and uncomfortable to wear. D. Their sensors will lead users to wrong positions. 26. What quality of Riya is highlighted in paragraph 3 and 4? A. Her generosity. B. Her innovative spirit. C. Her cooperativeness. D. Her optimistic attitude. 27. How has the project affected Riya? A. It has shifted her personality. B. She has acquired many skills. C. She has experienced loneliness. D. It has solidified her belief in humanity. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者Riya因为朋友的奶奶失明而产生了制作智能手杖的想法，以及她制作智能手杖的过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her inspiration for the cane was stimulated when she visited a friend's house and spotted his blind grandmother struggling with her moving and sensing. She found herself feeling sympathy for her helplessness and bitterness. (当她去朋友家时，看到他失明的祖母在移动和感知方面挣扎时，她产生了制作手杖的灵感。她发现自己同情她的无助和痛苦。)”可知，Riya在朋友家看到朋友失明的奶奶行动和感知困难，对她的无助和痛苦感到同情，从而激发了她发明智能手杖的灵感。所以是她对一位视障女士的同情引发了她发明智能手杖的想法。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Riya’s initial idea began with smart shoes, which would provide feedback in the form of vibration (震动) to guide the wearers to their destinations. However, if the shoes were to lose power, it would leave the users stuck where they were. ( Riya最初的想法是从智能鞋开始的，它会以振动的形式提供反馈，引导穿着者到达目的地。然而，如果鞋子失去动力，使用者就会被困在原地。)”可知，智能鞋的问题是如果它们没电了，会让使用者被困在原地。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Her next idea built upon the traditional white cane for the blind by adding an ultrasonic sensor that could detect barriers above the knee level. Vibration motors in the cane’s handle indicate barriers to the user. However, Riya didn’t want to stop there and added a panic button that would alert emergency services, as well as GPS navigation through haptic (触觉的) feedback. (她的下一个想法是在盲人使用的传统白色手杖的基础上，增加一个超声波传感器，可以探测到膝盖以上的障碍物。手杖手柄上的振动马达向使用者指示障碍物。然而，Riya并不想就此止步，她增加了一个紧急按钮，可以提醒紧急服务，以及通过触觉反馈的GPS导航。)”以及第四段中“Along the way to developing her full-featured design, Riya took advantage of every opportunity she had to get exposure for her design, to receive feedback on it and advance it.

In 2020, turbines (风力涡轮) generated about 8 percent of the country’s electricity-more than 80 times the share of wind-generated electricity in 2000-according to the U.S. Energy Information Department. While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, scientists say, it could be bad news for birds. An estimated 140,000 to 500,000 birds die each year due to turbine crashes. Bird deaths could rise to 1.4 million per year if the U.S. Department of Energy achieves its goal of expanding wind energy to 20 percent of the country’s total electricity generation by 2030. To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. Unlike traditional survey data, which cover limited time periods or locations, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. Citizen science is already proving that it can fill vital information gaps. From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. Using that treasure house of data, conservation scientist Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and his work fellows estimated where in the United States the birds would be most plentiful throughout the year and face the highest risk of crashing with wind turbines. “Citizen science data should inform decisions about where to build wind turbines,” Viviana argues. “What we’re able to do is really drawing on the strength that only citizen science has.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended using the team’s bald eagle maps to identify low-risk crash areas suitable for building wind turbines. 28. What does the underlined word “curbing” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Monitoring. B. Strengthening. C. Documenting. D. Tackling. 29. What advantage do citizen science data have over traditional survey data? A. They’re more extensive. B. They’re less restricted in use. C. They’re more easily available. D. They’re less expensive to collect. 30. In writing paragraph 4, the author aims to _______. A. make a definition B. offer suggestions C. illustrate with an example D. reach a conclusion 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wind Turbines: Threats to Birds. B. How to Decide Where to Build Wind Farms. C. Wind Energy: America’s Major Electricity Source. D. Citizen Science Contributes to Turbine-related Bird Safety. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了公民科学数据助力风力发电减少鸟类伤害。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段“As a renewable and clean energy source, wind energy is sharply rising in the United States. In 2020, turbines generated about 8 percent of the country’s electricity-more than 80 times the share of wind-generated electricity in 2000-according to the U.S. Energy Information Department. While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, scientists say, it could be bad news for birds. (风能作为一种可再生且清洁的能源，在美国正急剧增长。根据美国能源信息署的数据，2020年，风力涡轮机产生了该国约8%的电力，这一比例是2000年风能发电份额的80多倍。尽管这一增长对于curbing气候变化而言是一个积极的举措，但科学家们表示，这可能对鸟类来说是个坏消息。)”可知，风能作为一种可再生清洁能源在美国迅速发展，这种增长是朝着应对气候变化迈出的积极一步。清洁能源的使用有助于解决气候变化问题，curbing意思是“控制，抑制，解决”，与tackling “处理，应对”意思相近。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Unlike traditional survey data, which cover limited time periods or locations, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. (与覆盖有限时间段或地点的传统调查数据不同，公民科学数据遍布整个美国，并反映了全年的情况。风能行业可以利用这些信息来获得更全面的了解，并最大限度地减少对鸟类的伤害。)”可知，公民科学数据相对于传统调查数据的优势是更广泛，故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段中“From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. Using that treasure house of data, conservation scientist Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and his work fellows estimated where in the United States the birds would be most plentiful throughout the year and face the highest risk of crashing with wind turbines. (从2007年到2018年，超过18万名观鸟者向eBird数据库上传了关于白头鹰的观察记录。康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室的生态保护科学家维维安娜·鲁伊斯-古铁雷斯及其同事利用这一宝贵的数据宝库，估算了美国全年白头鹰数量最多以及面临与风力涡轮机撞击风险最高的地区。)”可知，这是通过举一个具体的例子来说明公民科学数据能够填补重要信息空白，所以作者写第四段的目的是举例说明，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, scientists say, it could be bad news for birds. (尽管这一增长对于遏制气候变化而言是一个积极的举措，但科学家们表示，这可能对鸟类来说是个坏消息。)”和第三段“To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. Unlike traditional survey data, which cover limited time periods or locations, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. (为了避免不必要的死亡，一些科学家支持在决定风力发电厂建设地点时使用公民科学数据。与覆盖有限时间段或地点的传统调查数据不同，公民科学数据遍布整个美国，并反映了全年的情况。风能行业可以利用这些信息来获得更全面的了解，并最大限度地减少对鸟类的伤害。)”可知，文章主要讲述了风能发展对鸟类造成死亡威胁，而公民科学数据在决定风力发电场建设地点时能提供更全面信息，从而减少对鸟类的伤害。D选项“Citizen Science Contributes to Turbine-related Bird Safety (公民科学有助于与涡轮机相关的鸟类安全)”准确概括了文章主旨，即公民科学数据对保护鸟类安全免受风力涡轮机影响的作用。故选D。 D Physical cash not only influences how much we spend but also facilitates an intense sense of psychological ownership that digital payments don’t have, according to new research. The study suggests as cash disappears from our wallets, so too does our awareness of spending, leading to unthinking and unnecessary buying. Maintaining a physical element in our payment systems may be vital for promoting responsible spending behaviors. Dr Jashim Khan, lead-author of the study said, “The nature of cash — its smell, feel and the act of counting it — creates an emotional connection that digital payments lack. When handling cash, we aren’t just spending money; we’re parting with a piece of ourselves.” The research team conducted their study in two distinct cultures, New Zealand and China, using focus groups and open-ended questionnaires to gather rich, detailed data about consumer experiences with cash and cashless payment methods. Participants were asked to describe their feelings and behaviors surrounding the use of different payment modes. They found that cash promotes heightened awareness of spending, while cards and apps often lead to a disconnection from the money being spent. While 50% of transactions in China are made through app-based payments, participants expressed a lessened sense of ownership over their funds. Plus, happy and secure as people feel using third-party payment apps, they at times struggle with a sense of loss when parting with cash. In contrast, the ease of digital payments often results in mindless spending, as the credibility of cash is replaced by abstract numbers on a screen. The research shows cash. isn’t just money — it’s a way to stay connected to what we spend. Holding cash in our hands reminds us of its value, something that digital payments can make easy to forget. Moving to a cashless society means we need to understand how different payment choices affect us, not just financially but emotionally. Keeping this in mind enables us to make better decisions concerning money in a world where money often feels invisible. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The emotional weight of cash. B. The popularity of digital payments. C. The reasons for currency exchange. D. The consequences of overconsumption. 33. How did the researchers get the outcome of their study? A. By interviewing high-income groups. B. By studying existing theories on money. C. By summarizing replies from respondents. D. By observing consumers’ behaviors firsthand. 34. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. People should use money wisely. B. Money makes the world go round. C. Cash is inconvenient and outdated. D. Cash payment is safer than digital payments. 35. In which publication is the text most likely to appear? A. Motor Trend, B. Science Daily. C. Art and Design. D. Muscle and Fitness. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于现金支付和数字支付对人们消费行为和情感影响的研究。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中““The nature of cash — its smell, feel and the act of counting it — creates an emotional connection that digital payments lack. When handling cash, we aren’t just spending money; we’re parting with a piece of ourselves.”(现金的本质——气味、感觉和数钱的行为——创造了一种数字支付所缺乏的情感联系。当我们处理现金时，我们不仅仅是在花钱；我们正在失去自己的一部分。”)”可知，现金的气味、感觉和数钱的行为会产生一种数字支付所缺乏的情感联系，当使用现金时，我们不只是在花钱，而是在与自己的一部分分离。所以第二段主要讲的是现金的情感分量。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The research team conducted their study in two distinct cultures, New Zealand and China, using focus groups and open-ended questionnaires to gather rich, detailed data about consumer experiences with cash and cashless payment methods. Participants were asked to describe their feelings and behaviors surrounding the use of different payment modes.( 研究小组在新西兰和中国这两个不同的文化中进行了研究，使用焦点小组和开放式问卷来收集有关现金和无现金支付方式的消费者体验的丰富详细数据。参与者被要求描述他们在使用不同支付模式时的感受和行为。)”可知，研究团队在新西兰和中国这两种不同文化中，使用焦点小组和开放式问卷来收集关于消费者使用现金和无现金支付方式的丰富详细数据，让参与者描述他们使用不同支付方式时的感受和行为，也就是通过总结受访者的回答来得出研究结果。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moving to a cashless society means we need to understand how different payment choices affect us, not just financially but emotionally. Keeping this in mind enables us to make better decisions concerning money in a world where money often feels invisible.( 迈向无现金社会意味着我们需要了解不同的支付方式对我们的影响，不仅是经济上的，还有情感上的。记住这一点可以让我们在一个金钱往往是无形的世界里做出更好的决定。)”可知，进入无现金社会意味着我们需要了解不同支付选择对我们的影响，不仅是经济上的，还有情感上的，记住这一点能让我们在一个金钱常常感觉无形的世界里做出更好的关于金钱的决策，也就是暗示人们应该明智地使用金钱。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Physical cash not only influences how much we spend but also facilitates an intense sense of psychological ownership that digital payments don’t have, according to new research.( 根据一项新的研究，现金不仅会影响我们的消费，还会促进一种强烈的心理归属感，这是数字支付所没有的。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于现金支付和数字支付对人们消费行为和情感影响的研究，属于科学研究范畴。B 选项 “Science Daily”（《每日科学》），符合文章科学研究的主题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a high school student, it’s never too early to start thinking about your future career. ___36___ Here are some steps to help you make an informed decision about your future and initiate a rewarding career path. ___37___ What are your interests?

Equipped 62. survival 63. effectively 64. the 65. remarkable 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了塞罕坝的发展变化。塞罕坝坐落于中国河北省北部，是荒原变成森林的奇迹。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：塞罕坝位于中国北部的河北省，是一个奇迹，经过三代中国人的非凡努力，它从荒地变成了茂密的森林。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Saihanba”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“which”。故填which。 【57题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：凉爽的夏季和绿色的植被，该地区被设定为皇家度假胜地。根据“400 years ago”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，“the area”与“set”之间是被动关系，即这个地区被设为皇家休养地，“set”的过去分词是“set”，一般过去时的被动语态结构是 “was/were + 过去分词”，主语“the area”是单数，所以用“was set”。故填was set。 【58题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：然而，大规模的森林砍伐破坏了森林屏障，最终将其变成了沙漠，导致沙尘暴频繁发生。“result in”是固定短语，意为“导致”。故填in。 【59题详解】 考查动名词。句意：为了防止沙尘暴不断袭击北京，林业局于1962年决定建立塞罕坝林场，并派遣了369名20多岁的护林员到该地区植树。“keep doing sth.”是固定用法，意为“一直做某事”，所以“strike”要用动名词形式“striking”。故填striking。 【60题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：为了防止沙尘暴不断袭击北京，林业局于1962年决定建立塞罕坝林场，并派遣了369名20多岁的护林员到该地区植树。“decide to do sth.”是固定短语，意为 “决定做某事”，所以“establish” 要用动词不定式形式“to establish”。故填to establish。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在极端的寒冷和干旱中，他们只配备了最简单的工具，无法确保种植的树木存活。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作原因状语，逻辑主语“they”与“equip”之间是被动关系，表示“他们被配备了最简单的工具”，所以用过去分词“Equipped”。故填Equipped。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：在极端的寒冷和干旱中，他们只配备了最简单的工具，无法确保种植的树木存活。由空前定冠词the可知，这里需要一个名词，“survive”的名词形式是“survival”，意为“生存；存活”。故填survival。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在三代人共同努力下，塞罕坝恢复原状，恢复了人间天堂的面貌，森林覆盖率从11.4%提高到80%，年有效涵养净化水1.37亿立方米。由副词修饰动词可知，这里需要一个副词来修饰动词 “conserve and purify”，“effective” 的副词形式是 “effectively”，意为“有效地”。故填effectively。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：林工们开创性的植树故事，孕育了塞罕坝精神的概念，即艰苦奋斗、迎难而进、大胆创新。根据句意可知，这里特指“塞罕坝精神”的概念，所以用定冠词“the”。故填the。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为世界上最大的人工人工林之一，塞罕坝造林社区因其卓越的绿色成就获得了“地球卫士”的荣誉。根据句意可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词“achievements”，“remark”的形容词形式是 “remarkable”，意为“非凡的；显著的”。故填remarkable。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你校英国留学生Tom想学习一种中国传统手工艺，发来邮件向你征求意见。请你给他回复邮件，内容包括： (1)介绍一种适合他的手工艺； (2)说明推荐理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇：手工艺 handicraft Dear Tom, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, I’m happy to know that you’d like to learn a traditional Chinese handicraft.

Jacob, a bright-eyed and energetic boy, had great memories of the Halloween night. The air was clear and cool, filled with the smell of autumn leaves and the distant sound of laughter. As the Halloween night settled over the neighborhood, the streets were brightened with the warm, shining light of pumpkin (南瓜) lanterns. Wearing a variety of colorful costumes, the children, dressed up as supermen, ghosts, batmen, spider men or princesses, wandered in the streets excitedly. Carrying their big candy bags from house to house, they knocked at every neighboring door, shouting “Trick or Treat”, and the house owners who answered the door would hand them candies smilingly. Before Halloween, Jacob had been looking forward to its coming in a splendid way. He had particularly planned his costume and couldn't wait to fill his candy bag. But things didn't go as planned. Just two days before the big night, Jacob was struck with a severe illness that landed him in the hospital. He received a medical operation and it was clear that there would be no trick-or-treating for him this year. The hospital room Jacob stayed in was decorated with get-well cards, flowers and balloons from his friends and relatives. Jacob lay in bed with a pale face, weak and sad. Seeing Jacob's condition, the single mother Amy was heartbroken. She knew how much Halloween meant to her son, and she couldn't bear the thought of him missing out on the fun. Meanwhile, she knew kids who knocked at their door would be disappointed if there was no answer to the doorbell without a reason. She thought about it over and over again and finally an idea occurred to her: A visual camera (可视化摄像头) connected to her cellphone, a note, and a basket full of candies would work. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Amy returned home and took immediate action. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The “superman” put all his candies into the basket instead of taking one from it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Amy returned home and took immediate action. She had a camera fixed above the door, on which she taped a note reading, “Dear trick-or-treaters, Jacob is in hospital but he still wants to spend the Halloween with you. Please take candies from the basket and smile at the camera. He’ll be looking at you.” Having placed the candy basket outside, she hurried back to the hospital. As the excited and noisy kids in different costumes came and read the note, they suddenly fell silent. One by one they took a candy and expressed their best wishes at the camera with big smiles. Now it was the turn of a “superman”. The “superman” put all his candies into the basket instead of taking one from it. He waved at the camera, saying “Jacob, I know you like candies. Hope you’ll recover soon.” Inspired by his act, other children followed suit and started pouring their candies into the basket, which soon turned into a mountain of colorful candies. Viewing what the kids were doing in front of the cellphone screen, Amy and Jacob were deeply touched. The great love and kindness from his playmates left Jacob’s face lit up with a huge smile. The unique heartwarming Halloween will stick in the memories of both Jacob and his playmates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了密歇根州一个社区的孩子们为了一个住院的小男孩，将2024年的万圣节从一个简单的讨糖之夜变成了一场难忘的善举，展现了孩子们和社区对病中孩子的关爱与支持。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Amy回到家，立刻付诸行动。”以及第二段首句内容“这个“超人”没有从篮子里拿糖，而是把自己所有的糖果都放进了篮子里。”可知，第一段可描写Amy装了一个摄像头，并留下了纸条。小伙伴们都这样做了。 ②由第二段首句内容“这个“超人”没有从篮子里拿糖，而是把自己所有的糖果都放进了篮子里。”可知，第二段可描写这个“超人”并没有拿糖，反而将自己的糖果都放在了篮子里，其他小朋友也纷纷效仿。 2.续写线索：Amy回到家中，赶紧付诸行动——她装了一个摄像头，并留下了纸条——回到医院后，Amy打开摄像头，看着小朋友们果然拿了一颗糖，然后对着摄像头微笑并送上祝福——然后轮到了一个“超人”—— “超人”不仅没有拿糖果，反而留下糖果，并祝福Jacob早点康复——其他小朋友纷纷效仿——看着这一切的Amy和Jacob非常感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想要：want to/would like to ②放置：place/put ③看着：view/watch 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the excited and noisy kids in different costumes came and read the note, they suddenly fell silent.（运用了as引导状语从句） 【高分句型2】Inspired by his act, other children followed suit and started pouring their candies into the basket, which soon turned into a mountain of colorful candies.（运用了which引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
