Project-based learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional “maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven” structure. Examples of projects applicable to the here and now are as follows: Soil Superheroes Project King Middle School, Maine African Wildlife DNA Project High Tech High, California Seventh graders learn about soil bacteria (细菌) by creating multimedia information brochures. They consult professional microbiologists and cartoonists, conduct research, and then distribute their works to local garden centers and flower shops. An eleventh grade biology class uses DNA to help protect African wildlife. The students share their findings with wildlife-protection officials and have traveled to Tanzania to lead bushmeat-identification workshops. Water Wheel Project Ferryway School, Massachusetts Bridge Project Kentucky Elementary School, Ohio Fifth-graders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they’ve already tested and mastered the centuries-old technology. Students conduct surveys, do research, build models and take field trips with the goal of determining the best kind of new bridge to build over the Ohio River. Students don’t restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science — whatever is appropriate to the study. 1. What is the characteristic of project-based learning? A. Following strict disciplines. B. Engaging in real-world issues. C. Starting subjects at different ages. D. Adopting teacher-centered class modes. 2. Which project includes a field trip to a historic site? A. Soil Superheroes Project. B. African Wildlife DNA Project. C. Water Wheel Project. D. Bridge Project. 3. What is highlighted in Bridge Project? A. Convenience. B. Integration. C. Efficiency. D. Popularity. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了四个“项目式学习”的示例。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a growing number of schools, educators believe that having students take part by starting with practical problems is a great motivator. Project-based learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional ‘maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven’ structure.(在越来越多的学校里，教育工作者相信让学生从实际问题开始参与是一个很大的动力。以项目为基础的自由跨学科学习提供了优于传统‘9岁数学，10岁历史，11岁文学’结构的教育)”可知，“项目式学习”的特点是参与现实世界的问题，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Water Wheel Project部分中“Fifth-graders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they’ve already tested and mastered the centuries-old technology.(五年级学生通过设计自己的水车来探索历史、科学、技术和工程。当他们参观附近可追溯到17世纪40年代的索格斯钢铁厂时，他们已经测试并掌握了这项有数百年历史的技术)”可知，该项目涉及对历史遗迹的实地考察，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bridge Project部分中“Students don’t restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science — whatever is appropriate to the study.(学生们不局限于一门学科，而是研究数学、文学、历史、科学——任何适合学习的学科)”可知，该项目强调不同学科的融合，故选B。 B A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D-printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design. The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a cornerstone of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to showcase the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens. Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint. While the employment of pollinator-friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well-known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked. “We typically use a lot of metal, glue, cement and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks, peppered with tiny holes, can absorb water and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi. Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi’s garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted. 4. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show? A. It values sustainability as well as appeal. B. Its initial aim was to encourage outdoor fitness. C. It requires competing gardens to be concrete-free. D. It has a long-standing tradition of championing greenness. 5 What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi? A. It catches fire less easily. B. It’s more durable and absorbent. C. It takes less labor to produce. D. It’s eco-friendly and more available. 6. What will become of Giorgi’s garden after the show? A. It’ll be sold publicly. B. It’ll serve as an urban landmark. C. It’ll be turned into a school. D. It’ll come into play in another spot. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High-Tech 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍一个用“普通”粘土制成的3D打印砖建造的花园在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A garden constructed with ‘humble’ clay fashioned into 3D-printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一个用‘普通’粘土制成的3D打印砖建造的花园在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章，因为它是最环保的可持续设计)”和第二段中“The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.(环境创新奖是首个此类奖项，并与最具吸引力和最有趣的花园一起获得金，银和铜奖)”可知，切尔西花展重视可持续性和外观，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint.(大多数花园都含有某种形式的混凝土，而建造它们的材料通常会产生最高的碳足迹)”和第五段中“The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere.(我们花园里的材料是低温烧制的粘土，一种随处可见的资源)”可知，与混凝土相比，黏土更环保且容易获取，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi’s garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.(Giorgi的花园是3D打印的，这意味着它可以很容易地拆开再组装起来。因此，当它被搬迁到RHS Garden Wisley时，它将在展览结束后作为一个教育设施存在，碳排放将很低，因为没有材料浪费)”可知， Giorgi的花园在展览结束后会被搬迁到另一个地方发挥作用，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“A garden constructed with ‘humble’ clay fashioned into 3D-printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一个用‘普通’粘土制成的3D打印砖建造的花园在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章，因为它是最环保的可持续设计)”可知，文章主要讲述一个用“普通”粘土制成的3D打印砖建造的花园在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章，C项“粘土砖花园：绿色奖章获得者”为最佳标题，故选C。 C Some of the world’s 7,000 languages disappear annually and many are endangered for not being spoken widely in formal settings like schools. A quiet fightback is under way in communities that feel their traditions are drowned out by the dominance of the most globally spoken languages. Tochi Precious, a Nigerian, says, “It pains me to see a language dying off, because it’s not just about the language, but about the history and culture associated with it.” It was the community aspect that brought her to join efforts to save Igbo, an endangered African language. Ensuring there’s a substantial record of words and meanings, and how it is written and used is key, according to campaigners like Precious, who aid others in their languages’ protection through the organisation Wikitongues. Amrit Sufi, an Indian speaking Angika, records videos and uploads them to preserve its oral culture via Wikitongues, too. “It’s urgent to document and make it accessible, not just stored in a library,” she says. “Oral culture is disappearing as new generations are more subject to consuming industry-produced music rather than sitting in groups and singing. They’re ashamed to speak it due to a perceived dishonor attached to it, seeing Angika beneath dominant languages.” Wikitongues focuses on helping document languages using collective resources such as dictionaries and alternative-language Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia is favoured by language activists as a way to upload media and build effective and affordable dictionaries. There are moves to use artificial intelligence to document languages by processing texts and feeding them into chatbots. Many activists create books, videos and recordings. Community radio stations also have a long record of providing services in local languages. Despite such preservation, activists then have to persuade people to use a language — a major challenge. “While Igbo is one of Nigeria’s largest languages, parents believe only English is useful for children’s future, insisting that if they don’t speak English, they appear ignorant and don’t belong,” Precious says. “But efforts to save it have worked — the language is flowering again.” 8. How do Precious and Sufi help prevent language loss? A. Through national programs. B. Through word of mouth. C. Through mass music formats. D. Through Internet technology. 9. What may be the reason for the downfall of Angika according to Sufi? A. Decline in population. B. Lack of job-market demands. C. Prejudice against Angika. D. Absence of formal education. 10. What is the toughest thing facing activists about an endangered language? A. Promoting its use. B. Building community cooperation. C. Obtaining financial support. D. Getting advanced recording devices. 11. What is Precious’ attitude towards the Igbo rescue move? A. Skeptical. B. Positive. C. Pessimistic. D. Uncaring. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了世界上每年都有语言消失，为此有人通过互联网技术来防止语言丧失。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Ensuring there’s a substantial record of words and meanings, and how it is written and used is key, according to campaigners like Precious, who aid others in their languages’ protection through the organisation Wikitongues.(像Precious这样的活动人士通过维基语言组织帮助其他人保护他们的语言，他们表示，确保有大量的单词和含义记录，以及如何书写和使用是关键)”以及第三段“Amrit Sufi, an Indian speaking Angika, records videos and uploads them to preserve its oral culture via Wikitongues, too.(Amrit Sufi，一个说Angika语的印度人，也通过维基语言录制视频并上传，以保存其口头文化)”可知，Precious和Sufi通过互联网技术帮助防止语言丧失。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re ashamed to speak it due to a perceived dishonor attached to it, seeing Angika beneath dominant languages.(他们羞于说这句话，因为他们觉得这是一种耻辱，认为安吉卡在主流语言之下)”可知，Sufi认为对安吉卡的偏见导致了安吉卡的衰败。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Despite such preservation, activists then have to persuade people to use a language — a major challenge.(尽管有这样的保护，活动人士还必须说服人们使用一种语言——这是一个重大挑战)”可知，对于濒危语言，活动人士面临的最大难题是促进其使用。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But efforts to save it have worked — the language is flowering again.(但拯救它的努力取得了成效——这种语言再次开花结果)”可知，Precious对伊博人的救援行动持积极态度。故选B。 D A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer. Martin Wiener, head of the research, says the finding helps reveal how the brain’s time-bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information. While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear, scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time. This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources. Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others. To understand how this memorability of an image, along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder, might relate to our subjective sense of time, Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments, in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either “short” or “long”. The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing. The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time. To find the underlying factor, the team fed the same memorability-ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain’s visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster. The explanation for why our brain’s faster processing would slow time is that it’s increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck, which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information, thus dilating time. 12. What does the saying “A watched pot never boils” describe? A. The unnoticed passage of time B. The feeling that time hangs heavy. C. The hardship of preparing cuisine. D. The perception that time is confusing. 13. How does the brain’s visual system handle information? A. By setting priorities. B. By comparing similar scenes. C. By sorting randomly. D. By screening out complex images. 14. Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study? A. B. C. D. 15. What does the underlined word “dilating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Using up. B. Cutting down. C. Stretching out. D. Clearing away. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的研究表明，更令人难忘的图像似乎持续的时间更长。文章解释了大脑处理信息的过程以及研究的开展经过。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time.(心急锅不开，但当你开心的时候，时间就会飞起来。这句熟悉的谚语有坚实的科学基础——我们的时间感确实会随着我们体验世界的方式而扩大和缩小。即使是微妙的视觉特征也会影响我们对时间的感知)”可知，开心时时间过的快，与之形成对比，“心急锅不开”这句话描述了时间沉重的感觉，即“时间难熬”之意。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources.(这对大脑的视觉系统尤其重要，因为大脑的视觉系统受到信息过载的影响，考虑到有限的资源，必须按照重要性排序)”可知，大脑的视觉系统通过设定优先级处理信息。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time.(研究人员发现，更大的场景似乎会延长时间，而更混乱的场景似乎会缩短时间。此外，受试者认为更令人难忘的图像在屏幕上停留的时间更长，即使它们呈现的时间相同)”可知，根据这项研究，如果在屏幕上显示相同的时间，B图片尺寸大且最有序，所以持续时间最长。故选B。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck, which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information(处理信息的资源有限可能会成为一种瓶颈，当大脑需要吸收更多信息时，它可以扩大瓶颈，从而)”可知，处理信息的资源有限可能会成为一种瓶颈，所以扩大瓶颈就可以延长时间，故划线词意思是“延长”。故选C。 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。 I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies. It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. ___16___ Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip. ___17___ Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations. Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? ___18___ The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip. Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? ___19___ I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching. Some people need a break to recharge or sleep and others may want to work out or read a book. ___20___ It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish. A. It pays to tour with friends. B. I believe it’s a mixture of both. C. Don’t forget to block out alone time. D. Be frank about your budget and preferences. E. If the answer is yes, you’ll have to make a change. F. There is no point in complaining about external disturbance. G. Setting schedule expectations helps you plan the trip effectively. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了可以减少旅游时发生争吵导致友谊破裂的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills.(人们普遍认为，这些友谊的破裂是由于不同的旅行偏好或缺乏解决冲突的能力)”是描述对于旅行结束后友谊破裂人们普遍认为的原因，B项“我认为这是两者的结合”作者提出自己的看法，B项中“both”指代上文“different travel preferences”和“lack of conflict resolution skills”，故选B。 17题详解】 根据下文“Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends(关于住宿，例如，你宁愿入住青年旅馆而不是五星级酒店，这样你可以花更多的钱在美食上。你优先考虑的需求应该告诉你的朋友)”可知，本段是说要和朋友说清楚预算和需求，D项“坦白你的预算和喜好”适合作为本段主旨句，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.?(你的朋友们是喜欢早上7点开始的有组织的行程，还是喜欢在空闲的时候起床，然后自由地度过一天？他们是准备派对到天亮，还是想在晚上10点前结束？)”可知，此处是讲设定行程的重要性，G项“设定行程预期可以帮助你有效地计划旅行”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility?(你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？)”提出问题：你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？下文“I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule(我发现在旅行前有一个自由的行程安排是很有帮助的。你可以随时修改你的日程安排)”提到自由、灵活的行程安排，和上文“严格遵守计划、不允许任何灵活性”相反，故E项“如果答案是肯定的，你将不得不做出改变”符合语境，E项中的“answer”呼应上文问题，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish.(这是每个人的假期，所以每个人都应该有自己的假期)”可知，每个人都应该有属于自己的时间，C项“别忘了留出独处的时间”符合语境，故选C。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The love story of Phil and Kim includes a tale they’ll laugh about for years to come.

(运用了现在分词作宾补) 第二节 （满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I had always wanted a dog since young. My parents were against the idea, saying that taking care of a dog was a lifetime commitment. On my tenth birthday, Father stepped into the house and announced, “Nancy, you have a new puppy!” I shouted in delight and ran towards Father, only to find it was a toy puppy. My face fell. I turned away. Father explained, “This is a ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy. You should try taking care of it before deciding about a real dog.” The puppy did look like a real dog from a distance and it even had a dog smell. Inside its body was a computer programmed to make barking sounds. Father handed me a key, which could be stuck into its back to stop its barking. I accepted the puppy, which I named Friday since it was Friday that day. That evening, my friends and I decided to take Friday to a dog café. It was freezing cold, so I wrapped it in a blanket as if it were a real dog. The computer inside could tell if someone treated it badly, like shaking or not caring for it, and I did not want that recorded. Having waited in line, we finally got a table. The waiter, not knowing I was carrying a false puppy, asked attentively if I would need a basket with cushion. I told him, “Oh, it’s not a real puppy, but...” Before I could finish my sentence, he gave me an unpleasant look, turned and served other diners who were right there to play with the café’s dogs. I might have seemed unusual to him. During our meal, my friends and I received strange looks from the other dog owners in the café. We ignored them and continued with our own conversation. After dinner, we went to a nearby shopping mall, where customers were selecting their favorites. My friends were looking at clothes, but I couldn’t. The puppy I was carrying was becoming increasingly heavy. Extremely tired of Friday, I put it down in a corner and just wandered around, seeking clothes I could try on. 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， Friday started to bark like a real dog. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment I got home， I handed Friday to Father， tears in eyes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, Friday started to bark like a real dog. It barked so loudly as if protesting against my previous disrespect, which immediately attracted curious stares of the shoppers. Some even blamed me in annoyance for making the dog produce such a noise. Embarrassed and panicked, I was at a loss what to do. My friends came running to me and urged me to take out the key. Not until then did I think of the solution. The barking ceased but I was overwhelmed with tiredness and depression. With everyone watching, I picked up Friday with a blushing face, racing out of the mall. The moment I got home, I handed Friday to Father, tears in eyes. “So Friday has upset you?” Father asked. Discouraged, I told him everything that had happened. Father listened quietly and said smilingly, “See why I gave you the ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy? Taking care of a real dog is even more challenging. You need to be responsible all the time.” I nodded, realizing I hadn’t been as committed as I thought. I wiped my tears, saying firmly, “Father, I’ll be ready for a real dog. Trust me.” From then on, I did what I could to take better care of Friday, learning how to be a responsible and capable pet owner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者想要一只狗，父母因认为养狗是一生的责任而反对。在作者十岁生日时，父亲给了他一个玩具狗作为“Think-It-Over”的小狗，让“我”在决定养真狗之前先试着照顾它。这只玩具狗外观逼真，甚至有狗的味道，内置电脑能发出狗叫声。“我”接受了这只小狗，并命名为Friday。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，星期五开始像真正的狗一样吠叫。”可知，第一段可描写Friday突然像真狗一样叫起来，引起了周围人的注意和责备，“我”感到尴尬和恐慌，最后在朋友的帮助下停止了叫声，但“我”感到疲惫和沮丧。 ②由第二段首句内容“我一回到家，就把Friday递给爸爸，眼里含着泪水。”可知，第二段可描写“我”回到家后，把Friday交给父亲，并告诉他所发生一切。父亲听完后，告诉“我”养狗更加具有挑战性，需要一直负责。这让“我”意识到自己的不足，并承诺会准备好养一只真狗。 2.续写线索：Friday像真狗一样叫——引起周围人注意和责备——“我”感到尴尬和恐慌——朋友帮助停止叫声——“我”感到疲惫和沮丧——回家交给父亲并告诉他所发生的一切——父亲告诉“我”养狗更加具有挑战性——“我”意识到自己的不足并承诺会准备好。 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①吠叫：bark/yap ②责备：blame/criticize ③催促：urge/press 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassed/awkward ②沮丧：discouraged/depressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] It barked so loudly as if protesting against my previous disrespect, which immediately attracted curious stares of the shoppers.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Not until then did I think of the solution.（运用了部分倒装） 1—5 BCCAB 6—10 BCABA 11—15 CABCA 16—20 BCCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考诊断性测试 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.

Project-based learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional “maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven” structure. Examples of projects applicable to the here and now are as follows: Soil Superheroes Project King Middle School Maine African Wildlife DNA Project High Tech High, California Seventh graders learn about soil bacteria (细菌) by creating multimedia information brochures. They consult professional microbiologists and cartoonists, conduct research, and then distribute their works to local garden centers and flower shops. An eleventh grade biology class uses DNA to help protect African wildlife. The students share their findings with wildlife-protection officials and have traveled to Tanzania to lead bushmeat-identification workshops. Water Wheel Project Ferryway School, Massachusetts Bridge Project Kentucky Elementary School, Ohio Fifth-graders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they’ve already tested and mastered the centuries-old technology. Students conduct surveys, do research, build models and take field trips with the goal of determining the best kind of new bridge to build over the Ohio River. Students don’t restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science — whatever is appropriate to the study. 1. What is the characteristic of project-based learning? A. Following strict disciplines. B. Engaging in real-world issues. C. Starting subjects at different ages. D. Adopting teacher-centered class modes. 2. Which project includes a field trip to a historic site? A. Soil Superheroes Project. B. African Wildlife DNA Project. C. Water Wheel Project. D. Bridge Project. 3. What is highlighted in Bridge Project? A. Convenience. B. Integration. C. Efficiency. D. Popularity. B A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D-printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design. The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a cornerstone of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to showcase the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens. Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint. While the employment of pollinator-friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well-known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked. “We typically use a lot of metal, glue, cement and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks, peppered with tiny holes, can absorb water and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi. Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi’s garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted. 4. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show? A. It values sustainability as well as appeal. B. Its initial aim was to encourage outdoor fitness. C. It requires competing gardens to be concrete-free. D. It has a long-standing tradition of championing greenness. 5. What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi? A. It catches fire less easily. B. It’s more durable and absorbent. C. It takes less labor to produce. D. It’s eco-friendly and more available. 6. What will become of Giorgi’s garden after the show? A. It’ll be sold publicly. B. It’ll serve as an urban landmark. C. It’ll be turned into a school. D. It’ll come into play in another spot. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High-Tech C Some of the world’s 7,000 languages disappear annually and many are endangered for not being spoken widely in formal settings like schools. A quiet fightback is under way in communities that feel their traditions are drowned out by the dominance of the most globally spoken languages. Tochi Precious, a Nigerian, says, “It pains me to see a language dying off, because it’s not just about the language, but about the history and culture associated with it.” It was the community aspect that brought her to join efforts to save Igbo, an endangered African language. Ensuring there’s a substantial record of words and meanings, and how it is written and used is key, according to campaigners like Precious, who aid others in their languages’ protection through the organisation Wikitongues. Amrit Sufi, an Indian speaking Angika, records videos and uploads them to preserve its oral culture via Wikitongues, too. “It’s urgent to document and make it accessible, not just stored in a library,” she says. “Oral culture is disappearing as new generations are more subject to consuming industry-produced music rather than sitting in groups and singing. They’re ashamed to speak it due to a perceived dishonor attached to it, seeing Angika beneath dominant languages.” Wikitongues focuses on helping document languages using collective resources such as dictionaries and alternative-language Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia is favoured by language activists as a way to upload media and build effective and affordable dictionaries. There are moves to use artificial intelligence to document languages by processing texts and feeding them into chatbots. Many activists create books, videos and recordings. Community radio stations also have a long record of providing services in local languages. Despite such preservation, activists then have to persuade people to use a language — a major challenge. “While Igbo is one of Nigeria’s largest languages, parents believe only English is useful for children’s future, insisting that if they don’t speak English, they appear ignorant and don’t belong,” Precious says. “But efforts to save it have worked — the language is flowering again.” 8. How do Precious and Sufi help prevent language loss? A. Through national programs. B. Through word of mouth. C. Through mass music formats. D. Through Internet technology. 9. What may be the reason for the downfall of Angika according to Sufi? A. Decline in population. B. Lack of job-market demands. C. Prejudice against Angika. D. Absence of formal education. 10. What is the toughest thing facing activists about an endangered language? A. Promoting its use. B. Building community cooperation. C. Obtaining financial support. D. Getting advanced recording devices. 11. What is Precious’ attitude towards the Igbo rescue move? A. Skeptical. B. Positive. C. Pessimistic. D. Uncaring. D A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer. Martin Wiener, head of the research, says the finding helps reveal how the brain’s time-bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information. While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear, scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time. This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources. Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others. To understand how this memorability of an image, along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder, might relate to our subjective sense of time, Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments, in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either “short” or “long”. The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing. The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time. To find the underlying factor, the team fed the same memorability-ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain’s visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster. The explanation for why our brain’s faster processing would slow time is that it’s increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.

It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. ___16___ Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip. ___17___ Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations. Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? ___18___ The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip. Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? ___19___ I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching.

My parents were against the idea, saying that taking care of a dog was a lifetime commitment. On my tenth birthday, Father stepped into the house and announced, “Nancy, you have a new puppy!” I shouted in delight and ran towards Father, only to find it was a toy puppy. My face fell. I turned away. Father explained, “This is a ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy. You should try taking care of it before deciding about a real dog.” The puppy did look like a real dog from a distance and it even had a dog smell. Inside its body was a computer programmed to make barking sounds. Father handed me a key, which could be stuck into its back to stop its barking. I accepted the puppy, which I named Friday since it was Friday that day. That evening my friends and I decided to take Friday to a dog café. It was freezing cold, so I wrapped it in a blanket as if it were a real dog. The computer inside could tell if someone treated it badly, like shaking or not caring for it, and I did not want that recorded. Having waited in line, we finally got a table. The waiter, not knowing I was carrying a false puppy, asked attentively if I would need a basket with cushion. I told him, “Oh, it’s not a real puppy, but...” Before I could finish my sentence, he gave me an unpleasant look, turned and served other diners who were right there to play with the café’s dogs. I might have seemed unusual to him. During our meal, my friends and I received strange looks from the other dog owners in the café. We ignored them and continued with our own conversation. After dinner, we went to a nearby shopping mall, where customers were selecting their favorites. My friends were looking at clothes, but I couldn’t. The puppy I was carrying was becoming increasingly heavy. Extremely tired of Friday, I put it down in a corner and just wandered around, seeking clothes I could try on. 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， Friday started to bark like a real dog. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment I got home， I handed Friday to Father， tears in eyes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 BCCAB 6—10 BCABA 11—15 CABCA 16—20 BCCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
