Here are four science research competitions designed for high schoolers. Breakthrough Junior Challenge The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video in which they explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice. Awards include a $250,000 college scholarship, and a $50,000 award to a teacher of the winner’s choosing. Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own or in teams of up to three members. Winners receive a paid trip to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair This competition is the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition. Students showcase independent research and compete across 22 categories for awards ranging from $500 to $75,000. This is not a group-based competition — individual students sign up for local school science fairs before advancing to upper-level competitions. American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize This competition challenges students to investigate problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting. 21．What is the aim of the competitions? A．To ensure admission to college.

B One winter, while skiing down snowy hills with fellow neighborhood kids, Ralph Samuelson had an idea, “If you could ski on snow,” he wondered, “why not on water?” In the summer of 1922, Samuelson, then 18, began his attempts to stand up on skis on Lake Pepin, just several blocks from his house in Lake City, Minnesota. After numerous attempts, he eventually succeeded, and one of the world’s most beloved water sports was born. People living in Samuelson’s hometown wanted to ensure no one forgot his contribution to warm-weather fun. On July 2, 2022, at 4:11 p.m. — the exact moment 100 years ago that Samuelson rose from the water on skis behind his brother’s boat — Lake City leaders released a life-sized bronze statue of Samuelson at Ohuta Park and Beach on the shores of Lake Pepin. Samuelson first tried water skiing while riding his aquaplane, a large, flat board pulled behind his brother’s boat. On June 28, 1922, he skied for several yards this way. In the days that followed, Samuelson tried different approaches. In most of his attempts, he started with his skis level with or below the waterline; but by the time his brother got the boat going, Samuelson was sinking. Eventually, he tried raising the tips of the skis out of the water while he leaned back — and it worked. Then he began learning tricks on his skis, which drew crowds of onlookers to the shoreline. Sadly, his career as a water skier was short-lived. When he hurt his back in a construction accident in 1927, he was forced to hang up his skis forever. He never patented his water skis, but so many people had watched him ski that Samuelson was eventually recognized as the sport’s inventor. Samuelson died of cancer in 1977, but his legacy lives on. There’s a historical marker at Lake Pepin proudly identifying it as the “Birthplace of Waterskiing”. 24．How did Samuelson learn waterskiing? A．By learning from his brother. B．By following instructions. C．By trying many times himself. D．By taking a specific course. 25．What do we know about Samuelson? A．He became globally famous for waterskiing. B．His waterskiing career lasted about five years. C．His waterskiing tricks were acquired all by accident. D．He got crazy about trying new sports at an early age. 26．Which of the following can best describe Samuelson? A．Modest and generous. B．Independent and responsible. C．Creative and determined. D．Hard-working and ambitious. 27．What is the purpose of the text? A．To show honor to a man. B．To introduce a water sport. C．To stress the key to success. D．To tell the history of skiing. C Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (虫媒) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) with native wildflowers. Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms. From 2018 through 2022, Argonne National Laboratory landscape ecologist Leroy J. Walston and his colleagues regularly visited two such arrays covering hectares (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site —— even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction. Further big losses would be disastrous for ecosystems and agriculture: 75 percent of North American plant species rely on pollinators. The federal government’s energy goals require several million hectares for solar energy, with more than 80 percent of the projects planned for former agricultural land; seeding it this way could help save endangered pollinators. During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed,a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and fluttered their dotted wings across the sites. Twice as many bees visited soybean fields close to the solar sites as fields farther away, making the nearby plots’ gains comparable to those of neighboring land enrolled in conservation programs. The approach’s efficacy in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.” 29．What does the 5-year study focus on? A．The number of pollinators. B．The influence of solar panels on insects. C．The effect of wildflower seeding project. D．The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B．Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C．Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D．The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 30．Why does the author mention goldenrod soldier beetles in paragraph 4? A．To highlight the ecological crisis. B．To illustrate a mutually beneficial relationship. C．To prove the success of conservation programs. D．To indicate the outcome the wildflower planting. 31．What does the underlined word “efficacy” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Effectiveness. B．Limitation. C．Response. D．Risk. D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 32．What may cause an opportunity cost? A．Spending time on worthy activities. B．Joining in social meetings actively. C．Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D．Doing physical exercises efficiently. 33．Why does the author mention David’s observations? A．To praise a wise philosopher. B．To teach readers football skills. C．To cite a case of overthinking. D．To argue for reflective thinking. 34．What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A．Make a comprehensive plan. B．Adopt a direct approach. C．Think carefully before action. D．Attach importance to details. 35．What is a suitable title for this text? A．The Risk of Overthinking B．The Key to Well-being C．The Way to Think Reflectively D．The Method to Develop Yourself 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。 Whether it’s woodworking, sewing or sculpting teeny cupcakes, making art is good for your mind and body. 36 And developing our creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency — the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions. But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. 37 You don’t need to be an artist with a capital “A”. We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but really, anyone can be an artist. 38 In fact, research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between those who identify as experienced artists and those who don’t. That means that no matter your skill level, you’ll be able to feel all the good things that come with making art. Figure out your mode of creative expression. Start with whatever you enjoy. But keep an open mind. 39 You can do that through many activities: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving — the sky’s the limit. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for. 40 Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces those feelings of stress relief and positive energy — not what you make or how you make it. A．Be ready to take others’ advice. B．Take control of the waves of emotion. C．Everyone is capable of creative expression. D．Focus on the making and let go of expectations. E．Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you. F．The act of creation can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood. G．Here are several things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit. 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。 Sophie Jones, 22, lives in Warrington, England.

It is generally referred to as “Chinese”. But in fact, Mandarin is just one of the Chinese dialects. China is 56 old and vast country and the mountain ranges, rivers, and deserts create region 57 (border). In ancient times, it was difficult for people in different places to communicate with each other and many regions 58 (develop) their own spoken languages. There are over 80 Chinese dialects 59 existence now, including Wu, Xiang, Hakka, Cantonese, Min and many other dialects. Classifying these Chinese languages as dialects or languages is a controversial topic. A Cantonese 60 (speak) and a person speaking Min will not be able to communicate with each other.

All the children were happy to hear about the trip and immediately asked their parents’ permission. One of the scholars, a 13-year-old named Sam, came to the summer campsite in his dad’s old Lincoln. As he was dropped off, all the other kids and parents looked at the very old car, especially against the array of luxury cars. As the day progressed, the other students began using their phones and taking pictures together. Meanwhile, Sam sat under a tree and read a book. He had a phone too, although it was old with big buttons. He rarely brought it out, except in the morning and at night to call his parents. When he did use his phone, the other children would whisper and laugh at him. Nevertheless, Sam did not mind them. On the second day of camp, the instructor taught the kids how to light a fire from raw materials and set up a tent. While everyone was having difficulty completing the tasks, Sam was able to light the fire and set up the tent faster than the instructor. Everyone was shocked at his speed, and when one classmate asked why he learned it so fast, Sam replied: “My dad and I went camping every Saturday since I was seven. So starting a fire and setting a tent is normal to me.” Patrick Letter, one of Sam’s classmates was amazed at Sam’s skills. “That’s so cool! I wish I went camping with my dad. He works every day, so we never really went anywhere together,” he said. Most of the kids lowered their eyes, knowing that they, too, never had activities with their busy parents. 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。 Paragraph 1: The following day, the instructor taught the kids how to catch fish and make fish soup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Sam came with his crafted (精巧制作的) scarf, everyone was surprised to see it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$■ 模拟预测卷01 英语答题卡 第四部分写作〔共两节，调分分) 第一节（衡分15分》 缺考 耐条形码区 Dear Tom.

B．Create new homes for polar bears. C．Take action to prevent global warming. 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．B 20．C 【原文】 A heartbreaking image captures a young polar bear sleeping on the melting pieces of a tiny iceberg. British part-time photographer Nima Sarikhani captured the scene in Svalbard, which sits deep inside the Arctic Circle, around 500 miles from the North Pole. The image was crowned the winner of this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. After three days of desperately searching for polar bears through thick fog, Sarikhani finally spotted two polar bears — a younger male and an older male. Just before midnight, as the ship got close to the bears, the younger one climbed onto a small iceberg and carved out a bed with his paws before falling asleep. Sarikhani said this photograph has caused strong emotions in many of those who have seen it. An estimated 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild, and they are at the risk of dying out as rising temperatures melt away the sea ice these animals depend on. Director of the Natural History Museum said, “The heartbreaking image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. His thought-provoking image is a striking reminder of the essential bond between an animal and its habitat and serves as a visual representation of the harmful impacts of climate warming and habitat loss.” Sarikhani said he hoped his photograph could inspire hope. He added there is still time to fix the mess we have caused. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分 37. 5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Science Research Competitions for High Schoolers Participating in a science research competition as a high schooler can allow you to explore one of your passions, making you a more competitive candidate during the college admissions process. Here are four science research competitions designed for high schoolers. Breakthrough Junior Challenge The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video in which they explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice. Awards include a $250,000 college scholarship, and a $50,000 award to a teacher of the winner’s choosing. Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own or in teams of up to three members. Winners receive a paid trip to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair This competition is the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition. Students showcase independent research and compete across 22 categories for awards ranging from $500 to $75,000. This is not a group-based competition — individual students sign up for local school science fairs before advancing to upper-level competitions. American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize This competition challenges students to investigate problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting. 21．What is the aim of the competitions? A．To ensure admission to college. B．To fuel the passion for science. C．To excel in high school exams. D．To select outstanding talents. 22．What do the first two competitions have in common? A．Winners will receive a paid trip. B．The participants need to team up. C．Presentation of a video is a must. D．The winner’s teacher will be awarded. 23．Which competition might attract participants interested in medicine? A．Breakthrough Junior Challenge. B．Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest. C．Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. D．American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个针对高中生的科学研究比赛。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Participating in a science research competition as a high schooler can allow you to explore one of your passions, making you a more competitive candidate during the college admissions process.(作为一名高中生参加科学研究竞赛可以让你探索你的一个爱好，使你在大学录取过程中成为一个更有竞争力的候选人)”可知，参加科学研究竞赛可以让高中生探索自己的兴趣和激情；由此可知，竞赛的目的是激发学生对科学的热情。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据“Breakthrough Junior Challenge”部分中“The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video in which they explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice.(Breakthrough Junior Challenge要求学生制作一个简短的两分钟视频，在视频中解释一个复杂的科学概念，并演示它在实际中是如何工作的)”以及“Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest”部分中“Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own or in teams of up to three members.(参与者需要独自或最多三人一组制作一段30秒到3分钟的视频)”可知，前两个比赛的共同点是必须提交视频。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据“American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize”部分中“This competition challenges students to investigate problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting.(这项比赛挑战学生调查有关大脑或神经系统的问题。它只对单个学生开放，不包括团体项目。获胜者将获得奖金，并有机会在AAN年会上展示他们的项目)”可知这项比赛挑战学生调查有关大脑或神经系统的问题，可推理出美国神经科学院神经科学研究奖（American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize）可能会吸引对医学感兴趣的参与者。故选D。 B One winter, while skiing down snowy hills with fellow neighborhood kids, Ralph Samuelson had an idea, “If you could ski on snow,” he wondered, “why not on water?” In the summer of 1922, Samuelson, then 18, began his attempts to stand up on skis on Lake Pepin, just several blocks from his house in Lake City, Minnesota. After numerous attempts, he eventually succeeded, and one of the world’s most beloved water sports was born. People living in Samuelson’s hometown wanted to ensure no one forgot his contribution to warm-weather fun. On July 2, 2022, at 4:11 p.m. — the exact moment 100 years ago that Samuelson rose from the water on skis behind his brother’s boat — Lake City leaders released a life-sized bronze statue of Samuelson at Ohuta Park and Beach on the shores of Lake Pepin. Samuelson first tried water skiing while riding his aquaplane, a large, flat board pulled behind his brother’s boat. On June 28, 1922, he skied for several yards this way. In the days that followed, Samuelson tried different approaches. In most of his attempts, he started with his skis level with or below the waterline; but by the time his brother got the boat going, Samuelson was sinking. Eventually, he tried raising the tips of the skis out of the water while he leaned back — and it worked. Then he began learning tricks on his skis, which drew crowds of onlookers to the shoreline. Sadly, his career as a water skier was short-lived. When he hurt his back in a construction accident in 1927, he was forced to hang up his skis forever. He never patented his water skis, but so many people had watched him ski that Samuelson was eventually recognized as the sport’s inventor. Samuelson died of cancer in 1977, but his legacy lives on. There’s a historical marker at Lake Pepin proudly identifying it as the “Birthplace of Waterskiing”. 24．How did Samuelson learn waterskiing? A．By learning from his brother. B．By following instructions. C．By trying many times himself. D．By taking a specific course. 25．What do we know about Samuelson? A．He became globally famous for waterskiing. B．His waterskiing career lasted about five years. C．His waterskiing tricks were acquired all by accident. D．He got crazy about trying new sports at an early age. 26．Which of the following can best describe Samuelson? A．Modest and generous. B．Independent and responsible. C．Creative and determined. D．Hard-working and ambitious. 27．What is the purpose of the text? A．To show honor to a man. B．To introduce a water sport. C．To stress the key to success. D．To tell the history of skiing. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了萨缪尔森是如何发明滑水运动的。 24．细节理解题。根据第四段“Samuelson first tried water skiing while riding his aquaplane, a large, flat board pulled behind his brother’s boat. On June 28, 1922, he skied for several yards this way. In the days that followed, Samuelson tried different approaches. In most of his attempts, he started with his skis level with or below the waterline; but by the time his brother got the boat going, Samuelson was sinking. Eventually, he tried raising the tips of the skis out of the water while he leaned back - and it worked. Then he began learning tricks on his skis, which drew crowds of onlookers to the shoreline.(萨缪尔森第一次尝试滑水是在他的滑水板上。他的滑水板是在他哥哥的船后面拉着一块巨大的平板。1922年6月28日，他就这样滑了好几码。在接下来的日子里，萨缪尔森尝试了不同的方法。在他的大多数尝试中，他都是让滑水板与水线持平或低于水线；但当他哥哥把船开起来的时候，萨缪尔森已经在下沉了。最后，他试着在身体后倾的时候把滑水板的顶端抬出水面——成功了。然后，他开始在滑水板上学习技巧，这吸引了大批的旁观者来到海岸线)”可知，萨缪尔森通过自己多次尝试学习滑水的。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Samuelson first tried water skiing while riding his aquaplane, a large, flat board pulled behind his brother’s boat. On June 28, 1922, he skied for several yards this way.(萨缪尔森第一次尝试滑水是在他的滑水板上。他的滑水板是在他哥哥的船后面拉着一块巨大的平板。1922年6月28日，他就这样滑了好几码)”可知，萨缪尔森第一次尝试滑水是在1922年。根据最后一段的句子“Sadly, his career as a water skier was short-lived. When he hurt his back in a construction accident in 1927, he was forced to hang up his skis forever.(遗憾的是，他的滑水生涯很短暂。1927年，当他在一次施工事故中受伤时，他被迫永远收起滑水板)”可知，他的滑水生涯在1927年结束。他的滑水生涯持续了大约五年。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据第一段“One winter, while skiing down snowy hills with fellow neighborhood kids, Ralph Samuelson had an idea, “If you could ski on snow,” he wondered, “why not on water?”(有一年冬天，拉尔夫·萨缪尔森和邻居的孩子们从雪山上滑雪时，有了一个主意，“如果你可以在雪上滑雪，”他想，“为什么不能在水上呢？”)”和第二段“In the summer of 1922, Samuelson, then 18, began his attempts to stand up on skis on Lake Pepin, just several blocks from his house in Lake City, Minnesota. After numerous attempts, he eventually succeeded, and one of the world’s most beloved water sports was born.(1922年夏天，18岁的萨缪尔森开始尝试在佩平湖的滑水板上站起来，那里离他明尼苏达州湖市的家只有几个街区。经过无数次的尝试，他最终成功了，世界上最受欢迎的水上运动之一诞生了)”可知，萨缪尔森由滑雪想到了滑水，发明了滑水运动，所以，他具有创造性。再根据第四段“Samuelson first tried water skiing while riding his aquaplane, a large, flat board pulled behind his brother’s boat. On June 28, 1922, he skied for several yards this way. In the days that followed, Samuelson tried different approaches. In most of his attempts, he started with his skis level with or below the waterline; but by the time his brother got the boat going, Samuelson was sinking. Eventually, he tried raising the tips of the skis out of the water while he leaned back - and it worked. Then he began learning tricks on his skis, which drew crowds of onlookers to the shoreline.(萨缪尔森第一次尝试滑水是在他的滑水板上。他的滑水板是在他哥哥的船后面拉着一块巨大的平板。1922年6月28日，他就这样滑了好几码。在接下来的日子里，萨缪尔森尝试了不同的方法。在他的大多数尝试中，他都是让滑水板与水线持平或低于水线；但当他哥哥把船开起来的时候，萨缪尔森已经在下沉了。最后，他试着在身体后倾的时候把滑水板的顶端抬出水面——成功了。然后，他开始在滑水板上学习技巧，这吸引了大批的旁观者来到海岸线)”可知，萨缪尔森经过多次尝试才掌握了滑水的技巧，所以，他是一个很坚定的人。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了萨缪尔森是如何发明滑水运动的，再结合文章最后一段的句子“He never patented his water skis, but so many people had watched him ski that Samuelson was eventually recognized as the sport’s inventor. Samuelson died of cancer in 1977, but his legacy lives on. There’s a historical marker at Lake Pepin proudly identifying it as the “Birthplace of Waterskiing”.(他从未为他的滑水橇申请专利，但是很多人都看过他滑水，所以萨缪尔森最终被公认为这项运动的发明者。1977年，萨缪尔森死于癌症，但他的遗产永存。Lake Pepin有一个历史标记，自豪地把它标记为“滑水运动的发源地”)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了向萨缪尔森表示敬意。故选A项。 C Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (虫媒) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) with native wildflowers. Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms. From 2018 through 2022, Argonne National Laboratory landscape ecologist Leroy J. Walston and his colleagues regularly visited two such arrays covering hectares (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site —— even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction. Further big losses would be disastrous for ecosystems and agriculture: 75 percent of North American plant species rely on pollinators. The federal government’s energy goals require several million hectares for solar energy, with more than 80 percent of the projects planned for former agricultural land; seeding it this way could help save endangered pollinators. During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed,a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and fluttered their dotted wings across the sites. Twice as many bees visited soybean fields close to the solar sites as fields farther away, making the nearby plots’ gains comparable to those of neighboring land enrolled in conservation programs. The approach’s efficacy in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.” 28．What does the 5-year study focus on? A．The number of pollinators. B．The influence of solar panels on insects. C．The effect of wildflower seeding project. D．The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B．Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C．Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D．The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 30．Why does the author mention goldenrod soldier beetles in paragraph 4? A．To highlight the ecological crisis. B．To illustrate a mutually beneficial relationship. C．To prove the success of conservation programs. D．To indicate the outcome the wildflower planting. 31．What does the underlined word “efficacy” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．Effectiveness. B．Limitation. C．Response. D．Risk. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在太阳能板阵列中种植本土野花对传粉昆虫的积极影响。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters, confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators’ abundance and diversity —— with spillover benefits for surrounding farms.(现在，发表在《环境研究快报》上的一项为期五年的研究证实，这种方法增加了授粉媒介的数量和多样性——对周围农场也有溢出效益。)”可知，这个五年研究关注野花播种项目的效果。故选C。 29．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs. Monarch butterfly numbers, for example, have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades, and according to the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2017 report, nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction.(人类的农药使用、温室气体排放和栖息地破坏已经导致大量传粉者死亡。例如，在过去的二十年里，全美帝王蝶的数量减少了80%，根据生物多样性中心2017年的报告，近四分之一的本土蜜蜂物种濒临灭绝，灭绝风险不断增加。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是传粉者数量正以惊人的速度减少。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake flower, goldenrod bloomed around the arrays.(在研究期间，随着以金盏花虎甲虫命名的金盏花在阵列周围盛开，Walston和他的团队观察到金盏花虎甲虫大量繁殖)”可知，作者在第四段提到金盏花虎甲虫是为了表明野花种植的结果。故选D。 31．词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线词上文“The approach’s (这种方法)”及下文“in other parts of the country— such as the desert Southwest — remains to be seen. Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.”(在美国其他地区，如西南部沙漠，还有待观察。尽管如此，正如沃尔斯顿所说，至少在中西部，“如果你种植它，是的，它们会来。”)”可知，此处指这种方法在其他地区是否能取得类似的效果，由此可知，画线词efficacy与Effectiveness(有效性)意思相近。故选A。 D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 32．What may cause an opportunity cost? A．Spending time on worthy activities. B．Joining in social meetings actively. C．Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D．Doing physical exercises efficiently. 33．Why does the author mention David’s observations? A．To praise a wise philosopher. B．To teach readers football skills. C．To cite a case of overthinking. D．To argue for reflective thinking. 34．What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A．Make a comprehensive plan. B．Adopt a direct approach. C．Think carefully before action. D．Attach importance to details. 35．What is a suitable title for this text? A．The Risk of Overthinking B．The Key to Well-being C．The Way to Think Reflectively D．The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 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。 Whether it’s woodworking, sewing or sculpting teeny cupcakes, making art is good for your mind and body. 36 And developing our creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency — the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions. But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. 37 You don’t need to be an artist with a capital “A”. We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but really, anyone can be an artist. 38 In fact, research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between those who identify as experienced artists and those who don’t. That means that no matter your skill level, you’ll be able to feel all the good things that come with making art. Figure out your mode of creative expression. Start with whatever you enjoy. But keep an open mind. 39 You can do that through many activities: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving — the sky’s the limit. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for. 40 Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces those feelings of stress relief and positive energy — not what you make or how you make it. A．Be ready to take others’ advice. B．Take control of the waves of emotion. C．Everyone is capable of creative expression. D．Focus on the making and let go of expectations. E．Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you. F．The act of creation can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood. G．Here are several things you need to know to kick-start your creative art habit. 【答案】36．F 37．G 38．C 39．E 40．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了艺术创作对身心健康的好处，以及如何开始和培养艺术创作习惯。 36．根据上文“Whether it’s woodworking, sewing or sculpting teeny cupcakes, making art is good for your mind and body.(无论是木工、缝纫还是雕刻小蛋糕，艺术创作对你的身心都有好处)”和下文“And developing our creative side can give us a stronger sense of agency—the ability to solve problems by imagining possible solutions.(发展我们的创造力可以给我们更强的代理感——通过想象可能的解决方案来解决问题的能力)”可知，上下文都在说明艺术创作的好处，所以空白处应承接上文，继续说明艺术创作的好处。选项F“创作行为可以减轻压力和焦虑，改善你的心情”符合语境。故选F。 37．根据上文“But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get in on those health benefits. All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better.(但你不必成为一名全职艺术家才能获得这些健康益处。你所要做的就是进行艺术创作。而且你做得越多，效果越好)”可知，上文引出了进行艺术创作的方法，所以空白处应承接上文，具体说明如何进行艺术创作。选项G“以下是你需要知道的几件事，以启动你的创造性艺术习惯”引出下文进行艺术创作的方法，符合语境。故选G。 38．根据上文“We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but really, anyone can be an artist.(我们往往认为只有非常擅长艺术的人才能称自己为艺术家，但实际上，任何人都可以成为艺术家)”和下文“That means that no matter your skill level, you’ll be able to feel all the good things that come with making art.(这意味着，无论你的技能水平如何，你都能感受到艺术创作带来的所有好处)”可知，上下文都在说明任何人都可以进行艺术创作，所以空白处应承接上下文，继续说明这一点。选项C“每个人都有能力进行创造性表达”符合语境。故选C。 39．根据上文“Start with whatever you enjoy. But keep an open mind.(从你喜欢的任何事情开始。但要保持开放的心态)”和下文“You can do that through many activities: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving—the sky’s the limit. And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.(你可以通过许多活动来做到这一点：手指画、烹饪、烘焙、油画、编织——天空才是极限。而且不要觉得你必须坚持一件事。混合起来——做你想做的任何事情)”可知，上下文都在说明可以通过很多活动来进行艺术创作，所以空白处应承接上下文，继续说明这一点。选项E“任何能激发你创造力的事情都对你有好处”符合语境。故选E。 40．空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Mess around! Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. Because it’s the physical act of making art that induces those feelings of stress relief and positive energy—not what you make or how you make it.(一旦你有了艺术材料，有趣的部分就来了。随便摆弄吧！让自己沉浸在这个过程中，尽情玩耍。因为正是创作艺术这一行为本身带来了缓解压力和积极能量的感觉，而不是你创作了什么或你是如何创作的)”可知，这段话主要讲的是在进行艺术创作时要专注于创作本身，不要过多在意创作的结果或方式，所以空白处应引出这一观点。选项D“专注于创作，放下期望”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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sophie Jones, 22, lives in Warrington, England. She has overcome her fear of 21 by creating a list of challenges she has always 22 . So far, she has completed 45 things, including 23 strangers to games of rock, paper, scissors and asking to make pizza in a pizza kitchen.

All the children were happy to hear about the trip and immediately asked their parents’ permission. One of the scholars, a 13-year-old named Sam, came to the summer campsite in his dad’s old Lincoln. As he was dropped off, all the other kids and parents looked at the very old car, especially against the array of luxury cars. As the day progressed, the other students began using their phones and taking pictures together. Meanwhile, Sam sat under a tree and read a book. He had a phone too, although it was old with big buttons. He rarely brought it out, except in the morning and at night to call his parents. When he did use his phone, the other children would whisper and laugh at him. Nevertheless, Sam did not mind them. On the second day of camp, the instructor taught the kids how to light a fire from raw materials and set up a tent. While everyone was having difficulty completing the tasks, Sam was able to light the fire and set up the tent faster than the instructor. Everyone was shocked at his speed, and when one classmate asked why he learned it so fast, Sam replied: “My dad and I went camping every Saturday since I was seven. So starting a fire and setting a tent is normal to me.” Patrick Letter, one of Sam’s classmates was amazed at Sam’s skills. “That’s so cool! I wish I went camping with my dad. He works every day, so we never really went anywhere together,” he said. Most of the kids lowered their eyes, knowing that they, too, never had activities with their busy parents. 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。 Paragraph 1: The following day, the instructor taught the kids how to catch fish and make fish soup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Sam came with his crafted (精巧制作的) scarf, everyone was surprised to see it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible versions: The following day, the instructor taught the kids how to catch fish and make fish soup. While the other students struggled to catch even a single fish, Sam managed to catch several with ease. He skillfully cleaned the fish, and confidently demonstrated how to make delicious soup. The children were impressed by Sam’ s abilities to cook, listening intently and admiringly, realizing that Sam’s experiences with his dad had given him a unique set of skills. They were then taught other skills and asked to create works to show their learning outcomes. When Sam came with his crafted scarf, everyone was surprised to see it! The scarf was beautifully designed, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. He explained that he had learned to knit from his mom before, who often made scarves and blankets for the family. The beautiful scarf was passed around and admired, as if it were more precious than luxury cars or the latest mobile phones. As the sun set, the children sat around the campfire, listening to more family stories shared by Sam and feeling grateful for what they had learned. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了13岁的学生山姆去参加夏令营，一开始因为使用物品的不同遭到其他孩子的嘲笑，后来随着山姆表现出更多在户外的生存技能时，其他孩子也表示了对他的欣赏和佩服。最终他和其他孩子度过了一段快乐的时光。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，老师教孩子们捕鱼和做鱼汤”可知，第一段可描写山姆钓鱼的具体成果以及如何展示自己的技能的。 ②由第二段首句内容“当山姆带着他精心制作的围巾来的时候，每个人都很惊讶！”可知，第二段可描写大家对围巾的看法以及孩子们和山姆相处的情况。 2.续写线索：教学——汉姆钓鱼——表现烹饪能力——带来围巾——赞叹围巾——相处愉快 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①示范：demonstrate/show/set an example for ②解释：explain/illustrate ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①充满活力：vibrant/lifeful ②感激：grateful/thankful 7 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。So what's your choice, sir?
