D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一款平板电脑的情况，包括价格、优惠等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“$128(20% OFF if purchased now! )；$35 Shipping & Import Charges to China ($128（现在购买可打8折！）；到中国的运费和进口费为35美元)”可知，如果你现在买平板电脑运到中国，你要花128×80%+35=137.4美元。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Allowing the content you want and learning about their activities on the kids tablet gives you complete control of every aspect, which will give you peace of mind when you hand your child the tablet.(在孩子的平板电脑上允许你想要的内容和学习他们的活动，让你完全控制每一个方面，当你把平板电脑交给你的孩子时，这会让你安心)”可知，用这台平板电脑，家长可以控制孩子看的内容。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“You may return the tablet that is “dead on arrival,” arrives in damaged condition, or is still in unopened boxes, for a full refund.(您可以退回“到货时死机”的平板电脑，到达时已损坏，或仍在未打开的盒子中，以获得全额退款)”可知，如果到货时无法开机，消费者可以在退货时获得全额退款。故选D。 B Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 4. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 6. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C. People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 7. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过对陶工和黏土的比喻，讲述了环境对我们成长的塑造作用，强调要与激励我们进步的人为伍，从而实现自我提升。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings—the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. (正如陶工将黏土塑造成容器一样，我们的生活也被环境所塑造——我们遇到的人、去过的地方、每一次交谈和经验都在塑造我们是谁)”可知，作者将我们的环境比作陶工，环境对我们的成长起到塑造作用。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. (一开始高中确实令人害怕。我发现周围的人比我想象的更聪明、更聪慧、更漂亮。相比之下，我感到自惭形秽，但正是在这种不适中，我找到了成长)”可知，作者面对更优秀的同伴，初时有压力但随后通过竞争实现了成长，因此可以用“rewarding”(回报丰厚的、有收获的)来描述作者的高中体验。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. (要成长，你必须与那些在你不足的领域中脱颖而出的人在一起，他们会激励你学习和提高)”可知，作者建议与能够激励我们进步的人在一起，这样才能促成自我成长。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher..(所以，找到你的人，那些会激励和提升你的人，他们拥有你想要的品质。他们不会直接把成功交到你手里，而是迫使你不断提升自己)”以及全文核心思想强调与优秀的人为伍，以提升自我。故“Success loves a successful company (成功者喜欢结交成功者)”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 C Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品). California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023 research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute. While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. 8. What can we say about products from California Cultured? A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale. C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water. 9. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3? A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis. B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge. C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world. D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand. 10. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat? A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes. C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat. 11. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees? A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else. C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers. 【答案】8 A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。面对气候变化导致可可产量减少的情况，各家公司正在想方设法种植可可和生产可可替代品。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. (植物细胞培养公司California culture正在加州西萨克拉门托的一处工厂用细胞培养物种植可可，并计划明年开始销售其产品。该公司首席执行官艾伦•珀尔斯坦表示，这种方法将可可豆细胞和糖水结合在一起，使它们能够快速繁殖，并在一周内成熟，而传统的收获方法需要6到8个月。这个过程也不再需要那么多的水和劳动力)” 可知，California Cultured公司的可可生产速度很快。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. (据研究网站Statista报道，2023年，全球巧克力糖果的销售额达到2385亿美元。美国糖果协会表示，仅在美国，2023年的销售额就超过了250亿美元。今年早些时候，可可豆价格迅速上涨，原因是需求旺盛，以及西非因植物病害和天气变化造成的作物问题。该地区生产世界上最多的可可)”可推断，巧克力的全球市场是巨大的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. (在美国推动室内生产可可之前，鸡肉等其他产品已经在实验室中种植)” 可推断，作者在本段提及“鸡肉” 是为了表明生产可可替代品的推动力。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. (玛氏的可可植物科学高级主管乔安娜·胡说，玛氏在加州大学戴维斯分校设有一个研究机构，旨在提高可可植物的适应力，使它们能够更容易、更快地从恶劣的环境中恢复过来。玛氏生产M& Ms巧克力和士力架。该设施拥有一批活的可可树，因此科学家可以研究是什么使它们对更多疾病有抵抗力，以帮助生产国的农民，并确保可可豆的稳定供应)” 可知，Mars公司通过提高可可树的抵抗力来解决它们所面临的挑战。故选C。 D Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026. “People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said. How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow. “Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor. Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said. 12. What is Tessa Weber’s attitude to the new guideline on alcohol drinking? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 13. What do we know about acetaldehyde? A. It encourages people to drink less. B. It benefits the repairs of heart cells. C. It keeps alcohol from breaking down. D. It contributes to the growth of cancer. 14. How much alcohol is a man recommended to drink at most per day by the US government? A. A 5-ounce glass of wine. B. A-6-ounce can of beer. C. A 10-ounce glass of wine. D. A 12-ounce can of beer. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. New Research on Types of Cancer B. Alcoholics Are on the Rise in the US C. Risks and Benefits of Drinking Alcohol D. Less Alcohol Is Better for Health 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了关于饮酒与健康关系的研究发现和建议，包括不同国家对于饮酒指南的更新、个人对于减少饮酒的看法，以及酒精对健康的潜在风险等内容。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.(德克萨斯州奥斯汀市28岁的Tessa Weber说：“像我这样年纪的人更容易接受它。”她今年戒了酒，因为她发现酒精增加了她的焦虑。她喜欢这样做的效果——更好的睡眠，更有活力——并坚持了下来。“重新评估你与酒精的关系是件好事，”Weber说)”可知，Tessa Weber对新饮酒指南持积极态度。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.(你每天能喝多少饮料？那得看情况。饮酒会增加患几种癌症的风险，包括结肠癌、肝癌、乳腺癌、口腔癌和咽喉癌。酒精在体内分解成一种叫做乙醛的物质，它会损害你的细胞，阻止它们自我修复。这就为癌症的生长创造了条件)”可知，可知，乙醛有助于癌症的生长。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.(纳伊米说：“如果人们遵循政府的饮食指南，建议男性每天饮酒不超过两杯，女性每天饮酒不超过一杯，那么美国每年数千人的死亡是可以避免的。”一杯饮料相当于一罐12盎司的啤酒，一杯5盎司的葡萄酒或一杯白酒)”可知，美国政府建议男性饮酒不超过两杯，而一杯相当于杯5盎司的葡萄酒，也就是一天不超过一杯10盎司的葡萄酒。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.(人们曾经认为喝点酒对心脏有益，但更好的研究方法却给这一观点泼了一盆冷水。“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法，”不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚大学加拿大物质使用研究所所长蒂莫西·纳伊米博士说)”以及纵观全文可知，“少喝酒是保持健康的好方法”，这是文章的主旨，后文围绕这一主旨展开论述，说明少喝酒的好处，如可以降低患癌风险等，由此可知选项D“Less Alcohol Is Better for Health(少喝酒对健康有好处)”是本文最好的标题。故选D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。 Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. ____16____ The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. ____17____ However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very cheap. ____18____ Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever. ____19____ For example, teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. Some old machines such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them. ____20____ These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. A. Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. B. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. C. The more cost in education, the better the result will be. D. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. E. Thus, parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids’ learning. F. For instance, even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. G. They also want their children to take extra-course activities to get a head start in life. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国人教育的特点以及建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia.(中国人在教育孩子方面非常慷慨。父母往往不关心钱，想把孩子送到最好的学校，甚至出国去英国、美国和澳大利亚)”以及后文“The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.(中国人认为教育越贵越好。所以父母会在教育上花费不合理的钱)”可知，本句与前后并列，都是在说明中国人教育孩子的做法。故G选项“他们还希望他们的孩子参加课外活动，以便在生活中取得领先地位”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.(中国人认为教育越贵越好。所以父母会在教育上花费不合理的钱)”可知，本句承接上文，举例说明中国父母在教育上不合理花费的例子。故F选项“例如，即使是贫穷的夫妇也会给他们的儿子或女儿买一台电脑”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.(有些孩子在某些方面很熟练，而在其他方面很差。然而，大多数父母没有意识到的是，如今的孩子缺乏自尊和自信。问题是，父母只教育孩子如何参加选择题考试和如何学好，而没有教他们自信、快乐和聪明所需要的最重要的技能)”可知，后文提到了有些孩子在某些方面很熟练，而在其他方面很差，说明父母需要看到孩子的技能所在。故A选项“父母可以看出孩子们的技能不同”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据后文“For example, teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.(例如，教孩子做饭会提高他以后生活中需要的许多技能。烹饪需要耐心和时间。这是一种愉快而又艰难的经历。一个好的厨师总是试图提高他的烹饪，所以他会学会努力工作，逐步成功地完成他的工作。结果，一顿煮得很好的晚餐，会给他带来很大的满足感和自信心)”可知，后文给出了做饭的例子，做饭属于生活中的实用技能。故B选项“父母可以通过传授实用技能来达到这个目的”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them.(一些旧的机器，如坏了的收音机或电视机，你给你的孩子玩会使他好奇，引起他的兴趣。他会花几个小时看着它们，试图修复它们)”可知，上文提到孩子喜欢修理机器，推测本句是在预测孩子未来可以从事的职业。故D选项“你的孩子长大后可能成为一名工程师”符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter day, Dan took his dogs, Milo and Duke, out for their usual morning walk at Bark Park.

My mother was in great pain and wished to visit specialists in London. My father reluctantly had to sell our property in Queensland. The day before we boarded the ship, Father unwillingly said goodbye to his five-year-old cattle dog, Spider, who was loved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy was to be his guardian while we were overseas, as he had been getting to know Spider for many weeks. Six weeks later, an airletter arrived from Sandy, giving my father the news that Spider had run away just two weeks after we had sailed. Sandy had advertised constantly on ABC and other regional newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dog was never found. It seems Spider just kept running and searching for us. As he was cattle dog, my father thought he would shoe or dingo-trapped, because of his appearance. But our family thought that Father held a secrets hope that Spider was still alive. We sailed back to Australia two years later and re-established our home. My father immediately began his own search for Spider. One cold winter’s Saturday morning eight months after our return, my father had a call from an elderly lady living on her own on the outskirts of the town. As she told my father on the telephone, it was “just glimpses of a dingo-type dog in the shadows” of her disused tennis court. That was enough for my father to interrupt my homework. We set off in his blue and black Jensen car which he had brought back from England. It was hardly the right vehicle for the rough roads we travelled that day. Five and a half hours later, we found the run-down old property. Sadly, she told my father that the “dingo dog” hadn’t been around for a few days. My father had a strange look in his eye. He put two fingers to his lips and did his special whistle for Spider. 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。 Suddenly there was a sound in the bush. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once home we had the task of getting all the prickles (刺) off him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly there was a sound in the bush. Out of the growth flew this battered dog right into my father’s arms. Spider had leaped over the tennis court fence with great force and certainty. My father’s eyes shone, and the old lady and I stood there with tears in our eyes. He kept licking my father’s face and making choking noises. He smelt dreadful. We wrapped him in an old blanket and I held him on my lap on the way back. He never once took his eyes off my father as we drove home. Every so often I received a lick of gratefulness. Once home we had the trash of getting all the prick es (刺) off him. Before he was put in a tin tub, we gently cleaned him up with soap. Spider stood stoically through all this as my father also examined his teeth and ears. Spider spent the rest of his days—years -on the front porch, content and satisfied, always in wait for my sister and me coming home from school where he would give us a lot of licks to make sure we were all right. He then waited for my father by the garage door. We never left him anywhere alone again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家不得已离开家乡时，将家中的宠物狗留给朋友照顾，可是不久后就得知宠物狗离家去找作者一家。两年后，作者一家回到了故乡，得知了宠物狗的消息，并将宠物狗带回了家。从此，宠物狗成为作者一家生活中不可缺少的一部分。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，灌木丛中传来了声音。”以及第二段首句内容“一到家，我们就把他身上所有的刺都弄掉了。”可知，第一段可描写宠物狗从灌木丛中跑了出来，作者一家将其带回了家。 ②由第二段首句内容“一到家，我们就把他身上所有的刺都弄掉了。”可知，第二段可描写宠物狗得到了作者一家的精心照顾，成为了作者一家不可缺少的成员。 2.续写线索：灌木丛中传来声音—— Spider出现—— Spider与父亲互动——带 Spider回家——将 Spider洗干净—— 从此Spider一直陪伴着家人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发出：make/let out ②确保：make sure/ensure ③移开：take off/take away from 情绪类 ①感激：gratefulness/thankfulness ②满足的：satisfied/fulfilled/content 【点睛】【高分句型1】He never once took his eyes off my father as we drove home.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Before he was put in a tin tub, we gently cleaned him up with soap.（运用了before引导的状语从句） 听力答案1—5 BCBAC 6—10 CABCB 11—15 BCAAB 16—20 CCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语开学考 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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个小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 4. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 6. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C. People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 7. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. C Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品). California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor. The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa. The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute. While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans. 8. What can we say about products from California Cultured? A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale. C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water. 9. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3? A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis. B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge. C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world. D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand. 10. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat? A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes. C A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat. 11. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees? A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else. C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers. D Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026. “People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said. How many drinks can you have per day? That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow. “Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor. Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said. 12.

Not caring about the money, parents often want to send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. ____16____ The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. ____17____ However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education given to their children is usually very cheap. ____18____ Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple — choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever. ____19____ For example, teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them. ____20____ These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. A. Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. B. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills. C. The more cost in education, the better the result will be. D. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. E. Thus, parents usually think computers are more convenient for kids’ learning. F. For instance, even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. G. They also want their children to take extra-course activities to get a head start in life. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a cold winter day, Dan took his dogs, Milo and Duke, out for their usual morning walk at Bark Park.

My mother was in great pain and wished to visit specialists in London. My father reluctantly had to sell our property in Queensland. The day before we boarded the ship, Father unwillingly said goodbye to his five-year-old cattle dog, Spider, who was loved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy was to be his guardian while we were overseas, as he had been getting to know Spider for many weeks. Six weeks later, an airletter arrived from Sandy, giving my father the news that Spider had run away just two weeks after we had sailed. Sandy had advertised constantly on ABC and other regional newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dog was never found. It seems Spider just kept running and searching for us. As he was cattle dog, my father thought he would shoe or dingo-trapped, because of his appearance. But our family thought that Father held a secrets hope that Spider was still alive. We sailed back to Australia two years later and re-established our home. My father immediately began his own search for Spider. One cold winter’s Saturday morning eight months after our return, my father had a call from an elderly lady living on her own on the outskirts of the town. As she told my father on the telephone, it was “just glimpses of a dingo-type dog in the shadows” of her disused tennis court. That was enough for my father to interrupt my homework. We set off in his blue and black Jensen car which he had brought back from England. It was hardly the right vehicle for the rough roads we travelled that day. Five and a half hours later, we found the run-down old property. Sadly, she told my father that the “dingo dog” hadn’t been around for a few days. My father had a strange look in his eye. He put two fingers to his lips and did his special whistle for Spider. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Suddenly there was a sound in the bush. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once home we had the task of getting all the prickles (刺) off him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1—5 BCBAC 6—10 CABCB 11—15 BCAAB 16—20 CCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
