B With kids increasingly attached to their iPads, phones, and laptops, how can we get them to read more books? It’s easier than you think. In Michigan, a barbershop is doing its part to encourage kids to read. Here’s how it works: when a child gets their haircut at The Fuller Cut and reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut, they get a $2 discount on the cut. Yes, it really is that simple: read your book aloud and you get a discount. Griffin, who has been cutting hair at The Fuller Cut for twenty years, started the Read to YourBarber program. He told the local media that parents love it, while the kids like getting the two dollars back — and that the two dollars often goes directly into the kids’ pockets. Griffin says teachers love the initiative — they say that it does so much for the kids during the school year, for The Fuller Cut serves a diverse community with the books featuring positive images of African-Americans, which could be an astronaut, an athlete, or a writer. This isn’t the first barbershop to do this, though, Griffin said that he first read about a similar literacy program in Harlem. Once he got the OK from his boss, the father of three began bringing his own books into the shop and soon people in the area began donating books. Griffin said, “And that’s just how it started. It wasn’t anything grand. I just wanted to be responsible.” While the initiative has attracted new customers to the barbershop, the best part, according to Griffin, is that little kids who don't know how to read watch the older kids — and then pick up a book for themselves. “When a kid thinks it’s cool to read, that's a gift,” says Griffin. “If we can get kids to come back to The Fuller Cut as adults in college and they tell us, ‘Because you guys had us read here, it made me want to be a writer or journalist’ that’ s really the end goal.” 4. Why did The Fuller Cut start the reading program? A. To donate more books to poor children. B. To arouse children’s desire for reading. C. To provide children with discount books. D. To clarify the harm of electronic products. 5. What do we know about the program? A. Griffin's boss donated the books to the barber shop. B. Griffin launched the project twenty years ago in Harlem. C. The barber shop inspires multiracial children to dream big. D. Parents are discontented with children keeping the money. 6. According to Griffin, what is the most inspiring part of the initiative? A. Younger kids begin to follow the older ones’ example. B. More children dream of becoming writers or reporters. C. The number of customers to the barbershop is increasing. D. Children who go to the barbershop perform well in college. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A new literacy program is donating books to kids. B. Barbers offer discount to children who read aloud. C. Griffin opens a discount bookstore for local children. D. A barbershop provides haircut service at a lower price. C Media literacy (素养) is finally getting some late-arriving attention. Whether it’s the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of AI, discussions about media literacy are on the rise. The adoption of media literacy in the classroom, however, stagnates. The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids. Fear has overrun reason, and people can’t decide whether to blame social media, mobile devices, tech companies, or the Internet. They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations. In response, too many solutions are “ostrich policies (鸵鸟政策)” that want to ban devices and shut down social media but don’t address more fundamental issues. Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions. Social media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) or the enormous effect of peer pressure. Social media platforms may be a new battleground, but they are not the source. Unfortunately, many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will, unavoidably, get online. On the bright side, the rapid development of AI and increasing attention to the amount of misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill. While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use, increase face-to-face socialization, and engage in outdoor play are beneficial, they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success: good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control. Those things take teaching, whether you are online or outside. Media literacy is an essential life skill that, once learned, can be applied to any content. While waiting for public education to catch up, parents and educators can build media literacy skills at home with numerous resources, ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to easy activities that can be done at home with kids. 8. What does the underlined word “stagnates” in the first paragraph probably mean? A Advances significantly. B. Collapses abruptly. C. Underperforms substantially. D. Initiates officially. 9. What factors contribute to people’s moral panic over technology and kids? A. Widespread use of technology and social media. B. Inability to provide kids with media literacy skills effectively. C. Concern about the lack of parental control over tech devices. D. Fear of the impact of technology on teenage mental health. 10. What does paragraph 3 of the text focus on? A. The importance of banning social media. B. The shortcomings of existing policies. C. The limitations of social media platforms. D. The necessity of managing online challenges. 11. Which of the following belongs to media literacy? A. Minimizing social media usage. B. Evaluating media content critically. C. Increasing in-person interactions. D. Recognizing the risks of social media. D The Malagasy baobab trees, a typical feature of Madagascar's landscape, should have disappeared long ago due to the extinction of its former seed-distributing animals. However, it did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, Berkeley, now think they may know the reason. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. They also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits, and searched any feces (粪便) along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no record of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team found 13fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify a culprit (肇事者), this was clear evidence that a seed-distributing animal was out there. They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. The discovery is not without irony (讽刺). Scientists believe bush pigs were brought to Madagascar by humans sometime between 1,000 and 5,000 years ago, just as the former seed-distributing animals were going extinct. Their arrival was a lucky break for the baobabs, especially as scientists have determined a seed's journey through the pig-like digestive system doesn't reduce its ability to grow. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 12. Why did researchers conduct the study? A. To identify the seed carriers for baobabs. B. To explore how baobab trees survived. C. To study how animals distribute baobab seeds. D. To find out if baobab trees are endangered. 13. What convinced the researchers of the real seed carrier? A. The way a rat handled the fruits. B. The presence of chewed seeds. C. The seeds found in animal feces. D. The marks on the baobab fruits. 14. What is the author's attitude toward humans introducing new species? A. Optimistic. B. Reflective. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 15. What is the author's purpose in mentioning rabbits? A. To argue against introducing new species. B. To show that rabbits benefit native species. C. To highlight the importance of seed carriers. D. To suggest that introduced species may help. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 After a long, busy year, many of us feel the itch to travel again.

One day, Eric noticed a young teenage boy standing in front of a drugstore. He approached him, and found out that the boy wanted to buy medicine for his sick mother, but had no money. The boy cried out, “if I don’t bring home medicine, my mom will die. But I won’t be able to handle it.” Upon hearing this, Erie didn’t hesitate to pay for the medicine. “I’ll pay for the medicine on his behalf,” he said, handing the pharmacist (药剂师) a couple of bills from his pocket. The boy looked at Erie with grateful eyes, and cried, “Thank you so much. You are heaven-sent.” “There will always be people willing to help you, son,” Eric told him before handing him two portions of food. “Here, take this to your mom and have a hot meal with her,” he said before letting the boy go. His daughter Riley saw the whole scene and said, “Dad, we have barely enough money. Why did you pay for the medicine?” “Riley, the good you put out into the world will eventually find its way back to you. Just keep doing good,” Eric told his daughter. When Riley turned thirty she needed an operation urgently after being told there was something wrong with her heart. With difficulty breathing, Eric rushed Riley to the hospital in an ambulance. “You’ll be alright, Riley.” he cried. “Don’t worry, Daddy is here. We’ll get through this together,” he promised her. Eric did try his best to find the money for bis daughter’s operation. He asked all of his friends, but it was still not enough. Therefore, Eric decided to sell their house. It was enough to pay for her operation, but they would be left with nothing, “it’s okay,” he told himself. I will be able to earn money again, but if I lose my daughter, nothing will ever bring her back.” By the time Erie made it back to the hospital, Riley was in her hospital room, weak and pale. He sat beside her bed and held her hand. “You’ll be okay, my sweet daughter. We’ll soon have the money for the operation,” he promised her. 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。 Para 1: Eric suddenly noticed an envelope on the bed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: He ran to the doctor’s office and hugged him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1-5AACCB 6-10ABBCA 11-15ACBAB 16-20CCBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市高2025 届拔尖强基联盟高三下2月联合考试 英 语 试 题 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

(新加坡国立大学（NUS）应学部主任的邀请，为访问学者、顾问和因公出差的外部考官提供住宿。获得助学金的海外研究员、研究助理以及在海外攻读更高学位的外国研究生，可根据房间情况，享受短期住宿。)”可知，NUS校长邀请的学者，顾问和因公出差的外部考官可以有特权申请住宿。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段Payment板块下的“Advance full payment is required to secure your reservation. If payment is not received after 5days, the room reservation will be released and you will need to rebook a room, if required. (为确保您的预订，需要提前支付全额费用。如果5天后仍未收到付款，预订的房间将被取消，如果需要，您需要重新预订房间。)”可知，及时支付全部费用可以保证外国研究生的房间预订。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Any cancellation of rooms must be done in writing no less than thirty days before the check-in date to avoid penalty charges. If notice of cancellation is received thirty days before the check-in date, payment that has been received will be fully refunded to payee. Otherwise, a cancellation fee equivalent to one full day's accommodation charge for each room reserved would be levied. (任何房间的取消必须在入住日期前至少30天以书面形式提出，以避免罚款。如果在入住日期前30天收到取消通知，已收到的费用将全额退还给收款人。否则，每间预订的房间将收取相当于一天住宿费的取消费。)”可知，如果取消预订，至少提前30天通知NUS，才能把损失降到最低。故选D。 B With kids increasingly attached to their iPads, phones, and laptops, how can we get them to read more books? It’s easier than you think. In Michigan, a barbershop is doing its part to encourage kids to read. Here’s how it works: when a child gets their haircut at The Fuller Cut and reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut, they get a $2 discount on the cut. Yes, it really is that simple: read your book aloud and you get a discount. Griffin, who has been cutting hair at The Fuller Cut for twenty years, started the Read to YourBarber program. He told the local media that parents love it, while the kids like getting the two dollars back — and that the two dollars often goes directly into the kids’ pockets. Griffin says teachers love the initiative — they say that it does so much for the kids during the school year, for The Fuller Cut serves a diverse community with the books featuring positive images of African-Americans, which could be an astronaut, an athlete, or a writer. This isn’t the first barbershop to do this, though, Griffin said that he first read about a similar literacy program in Harlem. Once he got the OK from his boss, the father of three began bringing his own books into the shop and soon people in the area began donating books. Griffin said, “And that’s just how it started. It wasn’t anything grand. I just wanted to be responsible.” While the initiative has attracted new customers to the barbershop, the best part, according to Griffin, is that little kids who don't know how to read watch the older kids — and then pick up a book for themselves. “When a kid thinks it’s cool to read, that's a gift,” says Griffin. “If we can get kids to come back to The Fuller Cut as adults in college and they tell us, ‘Because you guys had us read here, it made me want to be a writer or journalist’ that’ s really the end goal.” 4. Why did The Fuller Cut start the reading program? A. To donate more books to poor children. B. To arouse children’s desire for reading. C. To provide children with discount books. D. To clarify the harm of electronic products. 5. What do we know about the program? A. Griffin's boss donated the books to the barber shop. B. Griffin launched the project twenty years ago in Harlem. C. The barber shop inspires multiracial children to dream big. D. Parents are discontented with children keeping the money. 6. According to Griffin, what is the most inspiring part of the initiative? A. Younger kids begin to follow the older ones’ example. B. More children dream of becoming writers or reporters. C. The number of customers to the barbershop is increasing. D. Children who go to the barbershop perform well in college. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A new literacy program is donating books to kids. B. Barbers offer discount to children who read aloud. C. Griffin opens a discount bookstore for local children. D. A barbershop provides haircut service at a lower price. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了密歇根州的一家理发店“The Fuller Cut”发起的一项阅读计划，鼓励孩子们在理发时大声朗读书籍，以此获得理发折扣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段中的内容“In Michigan, a barbershop is doing its part to encourage kids to read. Here's how it works: when a child gets their haircut at The Fuller Cut and reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut, they get a $2 discount on the cut. Yes, it really is that simple: read your book aloud and you get a discount.在密歇根州，一家理发店正在尽自己的一份力量鼓励孩子们阅读。它是这样运作的：如果一个孩子在The Fuller Cut理发店理发，并在理发过程中大声给理发师读一本书，他们就能得到2美元的理发折扣。是的，就是这么简单：大声朗读你的书，你就能得到折扣。)”以及第二段中Griffin的表述“He told the local media that parents love it, while the kids like getting the two dollars back.（他告诉当地媒体，家长们很喜欢这个计划，而孩子们则喜欢拿回两美元。）”可知，该计划的目的是激发孩子们的阅读兴趣。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“Griffin says teachers love the initiative—— they say that it does so much for the kids during the school year, for The Fuller Cut serves a diverse community with the books featuring positive images of African-Americans, which could be an astronaut, an athlete, or a writer.(Griffin说，老师们喜欢这项倡议——他们说，这对孩子们在学年里做了很多事情，因为The Fuller Cut.为一个多元化的社区服务，书中有非洲裔美国人的积极形象，这些形象可能是宇航员、运动员或作家。)”可推论出，该计划激励了多种族的孩子树立远大梦想。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段中的内容“While the initiative has attracted new customers to the barbershop, the best part, according to Griffin, is that little kids who don't know how to read watch the older kids—— and then pick up a book for themselves.(Griffin表示，虽然这一举措吸引了新顾客，但最棒的部分是那些不会阅读的小孩子看到大孩子们读书，然后自己也拿起一本书。)”可知，最鼓舞人心的部分是年幼的孩子开始效仿年长的孩子。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的内容“Here’s how it works: when a child gets their haircut at The Fuller Cut and reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut, they get a $2 discount on the cut. (它是这样运作的：当孩子在The Fuller Cut理发并在理发时大声朗读一本书时，他们可以获得2美元的折扣。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一家理发店为大声朗读的孩子提供理发折扣的故事。故选B项。 C Media literacy (素养) is finally getting some late-arriving attention. Whether it’s the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of AI, discussions about media literacy are on the rise. The adoption of media literacy in the classroom, however, stagnates. The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids. Fear has overrun reason, and people can’t decide whether to blame social media, mobile devices, tech companies, or the Internet. They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations. In response, too many solutions are “ostrich policies (鸵鸟政策)” that want to ban devices and shut down social media but don’t address more fundamental issues. Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions. Social media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) or the enormous effect of peer pressure. Social media platforms may be a new battleground, but they are not the source. Unfortunately, many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will, unavoidably, get online. On the bright side, the rapid development of AI and increasing attention to the amount of misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill. While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use, increase face-to-face socialization, and engage in outdoor play are beneficial, they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success: good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control. Those things take teaching, whether you are online or outside. Media literacy is an essential life skill that, once learned, can be applied to any content. While waiting for public education to catch up, parents and educators can build media literacy skills at home with numerous resources, ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to easy activities that can be done at home with kids. 8. What does the underlined word “stagnates” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Advances significantly. B. Collapses abruptly. C. Underperforms substantially. D. Initiates officially. 9. What factors contribute to people’s moral panic over technology and kids? A. Widespread use of technology and social media. B. Inability to provide kids with media literacy skills effectively. C. Concern about the lack of parental control over tech devices. D. Fear of the impact of technology on teenage mental health. 10. What does paragraph 3 of the text focus on? A. The importance of banning social media. B. The shortcomings of existing policies. C. The limitations of social media platforms. D. The necessity of managing online challenges. 11. Which of the following belongs to media literacy? A. Minimizing social media usage. B. Evaluating media content critically. C. Increasing in-person interactions. D. Recognizing the risks of social media. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕媒体素养这一主题展开，讨论了媒体素养的重要性、当前教育体系中媒体素养教育的缺失、以及对于如何提升媒体素养的不同观点和解决方案。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Media literacy (素养) is finally getting some late-arriving attention. Whether it’s the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of AI, discussions about media literacy are on the rise. The adoption of media literacy in the classroom, however, stagnates.(媒介素养终于在姗姗来迟后得到了一些关注。无论是人们对政治虚假信息的日益关注，还是人工智能带来的威胁，有关媒介素养的讨论越来越多。然而，在课堂上对媒介素养的推广却stagnates)”可知，媒介素养终于得到了一些关注，关于媒介素养的讨论也在增加，然而（however），课堂上对媒介素养的推广却呈现出与前文不同的情况。前文是积极的发展态势，所以划线部分应该指的是发展不好。选项C“Underperforms substantially(表现不佳；进展不力)”符合课堂上对媒介素养推广情况不好的语境。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids. Fear has overrun reason, and people can’t decide whether to blame social media, mobile devices, tech companies, or the Internet. They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations.(为孩子们提供媒介素养技能的驱动力，常常在对科技和孩子的道德恐慌中消失殆尽。恐惧战胜了理智，人们无法确定到底该指责社交媒体、移动设备、科技公司还是互联网。尽管科技和社交媒体与青少年心理健康问题之间的关联并不紧密，但人们还是担心它们是导致这些问题的原因)”可知，人们对于科技和孩子存在道德恐慌，其原因是人们担心科技和社交媒体是导致青少年心理健康问题的原因，尽管这种联系并不紧密，但这种担忧使得恐惧战胜了理智。所以导致人们对科技和孩子产生道德恐慌的因素是对科技对青少年心理健康影响的恐惧。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions. Social media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) or the enormous effect of peer pressure. Social media platforms may be a new battleground, but they are not the source. Unfortunately, many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will, unavoidably, get online.(制定政策，对社交媒体的使用设定年龄限制，以及在学校限制使用设备以尽量减少干扰，这些措施可能会有帮助，但并不足以解决问题。社交媒体并没有创造出霸凌行为，也不是同辈压力产生巨大影响的根源。社交媒体平台或许是一个新的战场，但并非问题的源头。不幸的是，目前的许多政策都忽视了教孩子们如何应对这些挑战的必要性。令人担忧的是，人们很少关注如何让孩子们做好准备，以便在不可避免地上网时做出正确的决定)”可知，该段先提到设置社交媒体使用年龄限制和在学校限制设备使用等政策虽有帮助，但并非完整的解决方案，接着说明社交媒体不是霸凌和同辈压力的根源，然而目前很多政策忽视了教孩子应对这些挑战的需求，很少关注让孩子为上网做好做正确决策的准备。所以第三段主要聚焦于现有政策的不足之处。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use, increase face-to-face socialization, and engage in outdoor play are beneficial, they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success: good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control.(虽然限制不当使用设备、增加面对面社交以及参与户外活动的建议是有益的，但它们并不能培养出那些能让孩子们在现实生活中也保持安全的核心技能，而这些核心技能对于孩子们的幸福和人生成功至关重要，比如良好的公民素养、自我认知和自我控制能力)”可知，媒介素养是指人们面对各种媒介信息时，所具备的选择、理解、质疑、评估、创造和生产等能力，以及使用媒介信息为个人生活、社会发展所用的能力。选项B“Evaluating media content critically.(批判性地评估媒体内容)”体现了媒介素养中对媒介信息进行质疑、评估的能力，属于媒介素养的内容。故选B。 D The Malagasy baobab trees, a typical feature of Madagascar's landscape, should have disappeared long ago due to the extinction of its former seed-distributing animals. However, it did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, Berkeley, now think they may know the reason. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. They also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits, and searched any feces (粪便) along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no record of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team found 13fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify a culprit (肇事者), this was clear evidence that a seed-distributing animal was out there. They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. The discovery is not without irony (讽刺). Scientists believe bush pigs were brought to Madagascar by humans sometime between 1,000 and 5,000 years ago, just as the former seed-distributing animals were going extinct. Their arrival was a lucky break for the baobabs, especially as scientists have determined a seed's journey through the pig-like digestive system doesn't reduce its ability to grow. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 12. Why did researchers conduct the study? A. To identify the seed carriers for baobabs. B. To explore how baobab trees survived. C. To study how animals distribute baobab seeds. D. To find out if baobab trees are endangered. 13. What convinced the researchers of the real seed carrier? A. The way a rat handled the fruits. B. The presence of chewed seeds. C. The seeds found in animal feces. D. The marks on the baobab fruits. 14. What is the author's attitude toward humans introducing new species? A. Optimistic. B. Reflective. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 15. What is the author's purpose in mentioning rabbits? A. To argue against introducing new species. B. To show that rabbits benefit native species. C. To highlight the importance of seed carriers. D. To suggest that introduced species may help. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了马达加斯加的猴面包树如何在没有原种子传播动物的情况下依然存活，并揭示了新的种子传播者——一种本地鼠和野猪。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. (科学家们与他们的同事一起，监测了15棵树，以寻找马达加斯加西部地区新的猴面包树种子传播动物。)”可知，研究者进行这项研究的目的是为了识别猴面包树的种子传播者。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. (他们随后发现了令人信服的证据：在七堆不同的野猪粪便中发现了猴面包树种子。)”可知，研究者确信真正的种子传播者是野猪。因为在该动物粪便中发现了种子。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. (虽然这一发现本身很重要，但它也提供了有价值的证据，证明引入的物种可能并不完全有害。例如，马达加斯加的猪虽然不是本地的，但它们对真正的本地物种的生存至关重要。在南美洲，欧洲本土的兔子与没有种子传播者的植物之间也怀疑存在类似的关系。对于Dr.Andriantsaralaza博士来说，这表明在谈论物种灭绝之前，应该考虑引进物种的全部生态作用。)”可推知作者对人类引入新物种的态度是反思性的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful.Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species.

Are you planning to pack the car? ____16____ Sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years, the remote canyons (峡谷) and plateaus of southeastern Utah were among the last parts of the American West to be seen by travelers from the East. In those days, the towering cliffs and winding valleys made a terrible barrier to exploration. ____17____ Today, that rough landscape is home to some of the most popular national parks in the country. ____18____ They boast dramatic desert landscapes with tall arches (拱门), deep canyons, and reach-for-the-sky rocks. You’ll need several days to take in all the natural wonders starting with hanging gardens at Zion National Park. The views here may make you feel as if you’re flying, especially at Angels Landing, which sticks out 1,488 feet above the river. Next up, how about a trip to the red planet? The red sandstone of Capitol Reef National Park so resembles the look of the red planet that a Mars Desert Research Station is located here. ____19____ Arches National Park, an “outer space wonderland” with more than 2,000 giant sandstone rocks, is the largest collection of natural arches on our planet. Bonus for the Star Wars fans: If you discover a new colorful arch, you get to name it. Finally, drive on to the needle rocks and remote canyons carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers at neighboring Canyonlands National Park. The vast wilderness area offers crowd-free experiences in its remote reaches. ____20____ A. What a difference a century or two can make! B. However, these national parks were once hard to explore. C. Afterwards, drive 130 miles north for another otherworldly sight. D. Far from the bustling noise, you will just feel a sense of peace and quiet. E.

One day, Eric noticed a young teenage boy standing in front of a drugstore. He approached him, and found out that the boy wanted to buy medicine for his sick mother, but had no money. The boy cried out, “if I don’t bring home medicine, my mom will die. But I won’t be able to handle it.” Upon hearing this, Erie didn’t hesitate to pay for the medicine. “I’ll pay for the medicine on his behalf,” he said, handing the pharmacist (药剂师) a couple of bills from his pocket. The boy looked at Erie with grateful eyes, and cried, “Thank you so much. You are heaven-sent.” “There will always be people willing to help you, son,” Eric told him before handing him two portions of food. “Here, take this to your mom and have a hot meal with her,” he said before letting the boy go. His daughter Riley saw the whole scene and said, “Dad, we have barely enough money. Why did you pay for the medicine?” “Riley, the good you put out into the world will eventually find its way back to you. Just keep doing good,” Eric told his daughter. When Riley turned thirty, she needed an operation urgently after being told there was something wrong with her heart. With difficulty breathing, Eric rushed Riley to the hospital in an ambulance. “You’ll be alright, Riley.” he cried. “Don’t worry, Daddy is here. We’ll get through this together,” he promised her. Eric did try his best to find the money for bis daughter’s operation. He asked all of his friends, but it was still not enough. Therefore, Eric decided to sell their house. It was enough to pay for her operation, but they would be left with nothing, “it’s okay,” he told himself. I will be able to earn money again, but if I lose my daughter, nothing will ever bring her back.” By the time Erie made it back to the hospital, Riley was in her hospital room, weak and pale. He sat beside her bed and held her hand. “You’ll be okay, my sweet daughter. We’ll soon have the money for the operation,” he promised her. 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。 Para 1: Eric suddenly noticed an envelope on the bed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: He ran to the doctor’s office and hugged him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Eric suddenly noticed an envelope on the bed. It was addressed to him. He opened it and was surprised to find a check inside and a note that read: “You’d saved a boy’s mother years before. Thank you so much for the three packs of medicine, and two portions of food.” Immediately, Eric remembered the boy he had helped a long time ago. He went to the nurse station and asked them who visited Riley. The nurse told him there was no one except the doctor. Eric came to realize the doctor was exactly that boy. He ran to the doctor’s office and hugged him. “Thank you, son,” Eric cried. The doctor said, “It's I who should say thanks. That day, you saved my mother’s life. Since then, I promised myself that I would study hard to become a doctor to help more people. Now I have achieved the dream.” “I am proud of you,” Eric said with happiness. The doctor smiled and promised to arrange the operation for Riley soon and take care of her during her hospitalization. Riley realized that what her dad said was true -- the good you put out into the world will find its way back to you. 【解析】 【导语】本篇以人物为线索展开。讲述了一位单亲父亲Erie独自抚养女儿Riley，一次偶然的机会帮助了一个为母亲买药的小男孩。数十年后，Riley病重，需要高额医疗费。就在父女二人一筹莫展之际，当时的小男孩已成长为一名医生，用他的行动回报了当年的善意举动，说明善行总会有好报。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Erie突然注意到床上有一个信封。”可知，第一段可描写Erie打开信封见到里面的东西时的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“他跑到医生的办公室，拥抱了他。”可知，第二段可描写Erie激动的心情及对小男孩的感激。 2.续写线索：偶遇男孩——帮助买药——女儿重病——费用高昂——回馈善意——表达感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开信封：open the envelope/unwind the envelope ②发现：find/see/spot ③记起：remember/recall 情绪类 ①激动开心：happiness/excitement ②感到骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]It's I who should say thanks.（运用了it is...that...的强调句型） [高分句型2]Since then, I promised myself that I would study hard to become a doctor to help more people.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 听力答案1-5AACCB 6-10ABBCA 11-15ACBAB 16-20CCBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
