Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I often liked to play tricks on people at MIT. One time, in mechanical drawing class, someone picked up a French curve (曲线板) and said, “I wonder if the curves on this thing have some special formula?” I thought for a moment and said, “Sure they do. The curves are very special. Let me show you.” I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. “The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent (切线) is horizontal.” All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal. They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas. Their knowledge was so fragile! I did a similar trick four years later at Princeton. I was talking with an assistant of Einstein, who worked with gravity all the time. I gave him a problem: You blast off in a rocket with a clock on board, and there’s a clock on the ground. You have to return when the ground clock says one hour has passed. You want your clock to be as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock goes faster because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you go too high, you have to go so fast that the speed slows your clock down. So you can’t go too high. The question is, what program of speed and height should you make to get the maximum time on your clock? The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up normally, so that the time it takes to go up and come down is an hour, that’s the correct motion. It’s the fundamental principle of Einstein’s gravity — the “proper time” is at a maximum for the actual curve. But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. 44. What did the students in the mechanical drawing class discover about the French curve? A. The curves on the French curve were designed to follow a specific mathematical pattern. B. The tangent at the lowest point of the curve was always horizontal, no matter how it was turned. C. The French curve could only be used to draw straight lines. D. The curves on the French curve were related to basic calculus principles. 45. The author describes certain kind of knowledge as “fragile” or “fragility”, and which of the following words is closest in meaning to “fragile” in this context? A. Delicate. B. Complex. C. Solid. D. Precise. 46. How would the author most likely view Einstein’s assistant? A. He is a creative thinker but takes time to apply his knowledge effectively. B. He lacks a deep understanding of Einstein’s theories and often makes mistakes. C. He is confident but initially struggles to connect his knowledge to practical problems. D. He is knowledgeable but struggles to apply his knowledge in practical situations. 【答案】44. B 45. A 46. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是作者通过法国曲线的例子和爱因斯坦助手的例子指出了人们在知识理解和实际运用之间的差距，以及知识在不同情景下的脆弱性。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal.(班上的所有同学都把他们的曲线板以不同的角度举起，将铅笔放在曲线的最低点，发现切线确实呈水平状态)”可知机械制图课上的学生发现无论曲线如何转动，它最低点的切线始终是水平的，故选B项。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中“They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas.(他们都对这个“发现”感到兴奋——尽管他们在微积分中已经学过，任何曲线的最小值的导数都是零。他们没有把这两个想法联系起来)”以及文章最后一段中“But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen.(但当我拿给他看时，他没认出来。就像机械制图课上的男生一样，但这次不是大一新生)”可知，这些人虽然学过相关知识，但却不能将知识联系起来应用，说明他们的知识是不牢固的、脆弱的，所以划线词fragile的意思与A项delicate(脆弱的，易碎的)意思相近，故选A项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter.(助手研究了一会儿，才意识到答案是物质的真实运动)”以及“But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. (但当我拿给他看时，他没认出来。就像机械制图课上的男生一样，但这次不是大一新生。这种脆弱是相当普遍的，即使在有学问的人中也是如此)”可知爱因斯坦助手在处理问题时虽然最终找到了答案，但是一开始并没有认出这是物质的真实运动，这表明他虽然有知识，但是在将知识运用到实际中时遇到了困难，由此可推知作者认为爱因斯坦的助手虽然知识渊博，但很难将知识运用到实际情况中，故选D项。 (B) They don’t just stay in a room waiting to die If you have relatives in care homes, you may know what’s typically on offer. A care home might be just a repurposed big old house, or a new-build as cost-efficient as a budget hotel. No matter how old you are now, there’s a point in caring about what’s going on. It’s an issue for society in general as the population ages. Architecture has a role to play, as the physical environment can improve or harm the wellbeing of residents. Done right, design can make the care of elderly people less stressful and more effective. For architects, designing for older people and those living with age-related diseases gives them a chance to do something of social value. The Village Landais, in the town of Dax in south-west France, is a good example. It is an attempt to “give real life back” to people with Alzheimer’s. As one staff member puts it, “they don’t just stay in a room waiting to die.” It features an arcaded square with a restaurant, library and other facilities. Four groups of buildings are built around a pleasant green space, with a pond and trees in the middle. The project, which opened in 2020, aims to give as much freedom to the villagers as possible. The five-hectare community has a fence around it for the safety of its vulnerable residents. Within its boundary, though, people can come and go more or less as they please. They can walk around the open spaces, visit their neighbours, go to the restaurant or to a show in the village auditorium, and attend to animals and plants in a mini-farm and a kitchen garden. There are other details designed to reduce the effects of the disease. The paving is beige, as strong contrasts can make people with Alzheimer’s feel anxious. Light and dark are used to attract attention to where it should go. Pale door handles, for example, are placed against darker backgrounds. There’s also a make-believe shop, where villagers can “buy” products without actually paying for them. A make-believe compartment of an old-fashioned railway carriage has a screen inside that shows countryside scrolling by to make patients think they really have been on a journey, which can calm the residents. These attempts appear to work. In Dax, the villagers seem cheerful and relaxed. Independent research recently found that markers for such things as cognitive decline and depression were significantly better in the Dax village than in other care homes. 47. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about care homes? A. Their quality is mainly determined by their age. B. Their design has a significant impact on the elderly’s life. C. They are all newly-built to realize cost-efficiency. D. They are not a concern for the young. 48. What do the make-believe shop and old-fashioned railway carriage compartment in Village Landais aim at? A. Allowing residents to practice shopping skills. B. Encouraging residents to learn about history. C. Training residents to adapt to the outside world. D. Providing a sense of normalcy and calmness to the residents. 49. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. An introduction to the basic facilities within a typical care home. B. A discussion on treating Alzheimer’s disease effectively via architecture. C. An illustration of how care homes improve elderly life, especially for Alzheimer’s patients. D. A comparison of different care homes in terms of their architectural designs. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章强调养老院设计对老年人生活质量意义重大，合理设计可减轻护理压力、提升效果，对建筑师来说为老人和老年病患者设计具有社会价值。以法国达克斯镇的 The Village Landais 养老院为例，它于2020年开放，给予居民充分自由，通过细节设计缓解疾病影响，这些举措有成效，该养老院居民状态更愉悦放松，认知衰退和抑郁等指标优于其他养老院。 47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Architecture has a role to play, as the physical environment can improve or harm the wellbeing of residents. Done right, design can make the care of elderly people less stressful and more effective. (建筑可以发挥作用，因为物理环境可以改善或损害居民的福祉。如果做得好，设计可以使照顾老年人的压力更小，更有效。)”可知，养老院的建筑设计对老年人的生活有重要影响，好的设计能改善老人的生活，不好的设计则会对其造成伤害，所以养老院的设计对老年人的生活有重大影响。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There’s also a make-believe shop, where villagers can “buy” products without actually paying for them. A make-believe compartment of an old-fashioned railway carriage has a screen inside that shows countryside scrolling by to make patients think they really have been on a journey, which can calm the residents. (还有一个虚拟商店，村民们可以在那里“购买”产品，而不用付钱。一辆老式火车车厢的虚拟车厢里有一个屏幕，屏幕上滚动着乡村景色，让病人以为自己真的在旅行中，这可以让居民平静下来。)”可知，虚拟商店让村民可以“购买”商品，虚拟的老式火车车厢隔间让病人觉得自己真的进行了一次旅行，这可以让居民感到平静，这些设计旨在为居民提供一种正常生活的感觉并让他们平静下来。故选D项。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段指出养老院的设计对老年人生活有重要影响，接着以法国西南部达克斯镇的The Village Landais养老院为例，介绍了它为患有阿尔茨海默病的老人所做的设计，包括提供自由的活动空间、减少疾病影响的细节设计等，最后提到这些设计似乎有效果，居住在那里的老人状态更好，所以文章主要是举例说明养老院如何改善老年人的生活，特别是对阿尔茨海默病患者，C选项“一个关于养老院如何改善老年人生活，尤其是老年痴呆症患者生活的例子。”可以很好地概括了这篇文章。故选C项。 (C) The English language, which is widely used around the world today, has a long and fascinating history. Its origin dates from the 5th century when Germanic tribes, such as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain. Their languages were part of a language chain that eventually led to the formation of English. These languages combined and gradually formed Old English (450-1150), which was quite different from the English we use today, with a complex inflectional system and a large number of Germanic words. Then came the Middle English period (1150-1450). After the Norman Conquest in 1066, French became the language of the ruling class in England. As a result, a significant amount of French vocabulary merged into English. This influx of French words not only changed the vocabulary but also multiplied the complexity of the language’s grammar and usage. For example, many words related to law, government, and cuisine were borrowed from French, showing a remarkable similarity between the two languages in these fields. This led to a significant change in the English language, making it more diverse in vocabulary and grammar. The Renaissance also had a profound impact on English. It not only introduced many Latin and Greek words but also, along with the development of printing technology, promoted the standardization of English. This made the language more stable and laid the foundation for its spread around the world. Since then, Modern English has emerged. As time went by, the English language continued to evolve. Today, English is the most widely used language globally. It serves as an official language in more than 50 countries. In the fields of international business, diplomacy, and education, the role of English is indispensable to other languages. It is also the language of the Internet, with a large proportion of online information being in English. Additionally, English has a rich variety of dialects around the world, such as American English, British English, Australian English, etc., each with its own unique features. However, the widespread use of English has unfortunately led to the extinction of some minority languages, as more and more people choose to communicate in English. In conclusion, the development of the English language is a long-term process influenced by various historical events and cultural exchanges. Its current status as a global language reflects its versatility and adaptability. 50. What was the most significant change to the English language during the Middle English period? A. The simplification of its complex inflectional system. B. The addition of a large number of French-rooted words. C. The multiplication of Germanic words in grammar and usage. D. The formation of a language chain leading to Modern English. 51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Compared with Old English, English today has a large number of Germanic words. B. Norman rulers promoted teaching of French, making English more diverse. C. Latin and Greek words became dominant in English in the Renaissance. D. English now holds formal recognition in numerous countries worldwide. 52 It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that ________. A. evolution is called for in English despite its indispensable role B. English is composed of a large number of Internet words C. some languages are going extinct owing to the dominance of English D. English dialects share uniform features regardless of regional variations. 53. What would be the best title for the passage? A. English: From Germanic Roots to Continental Expansion B. English: From Humble Origin to Global Domination C. English: Obscure Origin and Gradual Growth D. English: Modest Onset and Domestic Growth 【答案】50. B 51. D 52. C 53. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语的发展变化。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then came the Middle English period (1150-1450). After the Norman Conquest in 1066, French became the language of the ruling class in England. As a result, a significant amount of French vocabulary merged into English. This influx of French words not only changed the vocabulary but also multiplied the complexity of the language’s grammar and usage.(然后是中世纪英语时期（1150-1450）。1066年诺曼征服后，法语成为英国统治阶级的语言。因此，大量的法语词汇融入了英语。法语单词的涌入不仅改变了词汇，还增加了语言语法和用法的复杂性)”可知，诺曼征服后，在中世纪英语时期，大量法语词汇融入英语，改变了英语词汇和语法复杂性。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It serves as an official language in more than 50 countries.(它是50多个国家的官方语言)”可知，英语在50多个国家成为官方语言，也就是说英语在世界许多国家获得了正式认可，与D项表述一致。A项与第一段中的“These languages combined and gradually formed Old English (450-1150), which was quite different from the English we use today, with a complex inflectional system and a large number of Germanic words.(这些语言结合并逐渐形成了古英语（450-1150），它与我们今天使用的英语截然不同，具有复杂的屈折系统和大量的日耳曼语单词)”表述不符，今天的英语和古英语不同，古英语有大量的日耳曼单词，所以今天的英语没有那么多日耳曼单词；B项“诺曼统治者推广法语教学，使英语更加多样化”原文未提及；C项中“拉丁和希腊词主导”与第三段中的“It not only introduced many Latin and Greek words but also, along with the development of printing technology, promoted the standardization of English.(它不仅引入了许多拉丁语和希腊语单词，而且随着印刷技术的发展，促进了英语的标准化)”所提到的“引入”不符。故选D。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, the widespread use of English has unfortunately led to the extinction of some minority languages, as more and more people choose to communicate in English.(然而，不幸的是，随着越来越多的人选择用英语交流，英语的广泛使用导致了一些少数民族语言的灭绝)”可知，英语的广泛使用导致一些少数语言灭绝。由此推知，由于英语的主导地位，一些语言正在灭绝。故选C。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Its origin dates from the 5th century when Germanic tribes, such as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain.(它的起源可以追溯到5世纪，当时盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人等日耳曼部落入侵不列颠)”、第四段中的“As time went by, the English language continued to evolve. Today, English is the most widely used language globally.(随着时间的推移，英语继续发展。如今，英语是全球使用最广泛的语言)”和最后一段“In conclusion, the development of the English language is a long-term process influenced by various historical events and cultural exchanges. Its current status as a global language reflects its versatility and adaptability.(总之，英语的发展是一个长期的过程，受到各种历史事件和文化交流的影响。它目前作为一种全球语言的地位反映了它的多功能性和适应性)”可知，文章讲述了英语从5世纪起源于日耳曼部落到占据全球主导地位的过程。由此可知，B“从卑微起源到全球主导”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 Section C (6%) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the sentences that can be filled into the blanks. Note there are two more sentences than can be used. Learning to Choose, to Let Go, and to Embrace Regrets for Growth In the journey of life, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenging task of choosing one path over another. However, the art of making wise choices often requires us to let go of certain desires and dreams. Embracing this duality — choosing and releasing — is essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Life, much like a video game, presents us with countless options and decisions. ___54___. Our time and energy are limited, and we must focus on what truly matters. Choosing, at its core, reflects our values and aspirations. It demands self-awareness and a clear understanding of our goals. For instance, consider a high school student torn between pursuing a passion for music and excelling in core academic subjects to se cure a better college future. ___55___. However, making wise choices also involves recognizing the need to let go. This means acknowledging desires or dreams that may no longer align with our well-being or are beyond our control. Letting go might mean stepping away from a cherished hobby, distancing ourselves from a social circle that no longer supports us, or releasing a long-held dream that has outlived its purpose. It’s not about achieving perfection but about prioritizing what truly matters and managing our resources wisely. ___56___. They serve as persistent reminders of past mistakes or unfulfilled aspirations. The student might regret not dedicating enough time to certain subjects or missing out on valuable experiences due to overcommitment. Yet, when faced head-on, these regrets can become powerful teachers, offering lessons that shape our future decisions. This process of choosing, letting go, and learning from regrets helps us evolve and mature. It transforms life’s challenges into valuable wisdom, guiding us toward a more purposeful and fulfilling journey. Now, if you’re a student sitting an exam and suddenly realize time is slipping away, take a deep breath and smile. Remember, this exam is just another opportunity to practice the art of decision-making. If you can’t answer every question, it’s okay to let some go. ___57___. After all, the best players in life know when to level up and move on to the next challenge with grace and resilience. A. But in the game world, not only can we easily bypass tough situations with simple cheats, but we can also start over afresh without any real-world consequences holding us back. B. such a decision is fraught with complexity, requiring careful consideration of personal interests, long-term ambitions, and the inevitable trade-offs involved. C. Regrets, though painful, are an inevitable part of life. D. Instead of looking back on the past, we should always keep our eyes on the future and strive for greater achievements. E. Focus on what you know and make the most of the time you have. F. Yet, unlike a game where shortcuts or tricks might help us overcome obstacles, real life offers no such luxuries. 【答案】54. F 55. B 56. C 57. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，论述了在人生旅程中，学会选择、放手以及接受遗憾对于个人成长的重要性。 【54题详解】 根据上文“Life, much like a video game, presents us with countless options and decisions.(生活就像电子游戏，给我们提供了无数的选择和决定)”以及下文“Our time and energy are limited, and we must focus on what truly matters.(我们的时间和精力是有限的，我们必须专注于真正重要的事情)”可知电子游戏给我们提供了无数的选择和决定，但是我们的时间和精力是有限的，我们必须专注于真正重要的事情，可推理出这里是在将生活与游戏进行对比，强调生活不像游戏有捷径可走，与F项“Yet, unlike a game where shortcuts or tricks might help us overcome obstacles, real life offers no such luxuries.(然而，不像游戏中捷径或技巧可能帮助我们克服障碍，现实生活没有这样的优待)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【55题详解】 根据上文“For instance, consider a high school student torn between pursuing a passion for music and excelling in core academic subjects to se cure a better college future.( 例如，考虑一个高中生，他在追求音乐热情和在核心学术科目上取得优异成绩以获得更好的大学未来之间犹豫不决)”可知上文说的是一个高中生要在追求音乐热情和在核心学术科目上取得优异成绩以获得更好的大学未来之间进行选择，这种选择涉及到个人利益以及长期抱负，可推理出此处说的是这种决定是复杂的，需要权衡很多因素，与B项“such a decision is fraught with complexity, requiring careful consideration of personal interests, long - term ambitions, and the inevitable trade - offs involved.(这样的决定充满了复杂性，需要仔细考虑个人利益、长期抱负以及所涉及的不可避免的权衡)”表达的意思一致，故选B项。 【56题详解】 根据下文“They serve as persistent reminders of past mistakes or unfulfilled aspirations.(它们不断提醒着过去的错误或未实现的抱负。)”可知下文提到了提醒着过去的错误或未实现的抱负，可推理出这里在说有关后悔的话题，与C项“Regrets, though painful, are an inevitable part of life.(后悔，虽然痛苦，但却是生活中不可避免的一部分)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 【57题详解】 根据上文“Now, if you’re a student sitting an exam and suddenly realize time is slipping away, take a deep breath and smile. Remember, this exam is just another opportunity to practice the art of decision-making. If you can’t answer every question, it’s okay to let some go(现在，如果你是一名正在参加考试的学生，突然意识到时间在流逝，那就深吸一口气，微笑一下。记住，这次考试只是另一个练习决策艺术的机会。如果你不能回答每一个问题，放弃一些是可以的)”提到了考试中时间不够、可以放弃一些问题的情况。E 选项“Focus on what you know and make the most of the time you have(专注于你知道的内容，并充分利用你所拥有的时间)”给出了在这种情况下应该采取的积极做法，与上文衔接紧密，故选E项。 第Ⅱ卷 (21分) IV. Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the given verbs. (4%) 58. The news reported that by the end of last year, the number of 5G base stations in China ________ (increase) to over 3 million. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】had increased 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：该新闻报道称，截至去年年底，中国的5G基站数量已增加到300多万个。“by the end of + 过去时间”是过去完成时的标志，表示在过去某个时间之前已经完成的动作。句中“by the end of last year”表示到去年年底，是一个过去的时间点，“increase”这个动作在去年年底之前就已经完成，所以要用过去完成时，其结构为“had + 过去分词”，increase 的过去分词是increased。故填had increased。 59. It is the first time that such a large-scale international sports event ________ (hold) in this city since its establishment. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】has been held 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：这是自这座城市建立以来首次举办如此大规模的国际体育赛事。“It is the first time that...”为固定句型，表示“这是第一次……”含义，从句要用现在完成时，且event和hold之间是被动关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语such a large-scale international sports event为单数，助动词使用has，故填has been held。 60. The government insists that all departments ________ (cooperate) closely to support the development of the live-streaming economy. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】cooperate##should cooperate 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：政府坚持要求所有部门密切合作以支持直播经济的发展。insist 表示“坚持要求”时，其后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即“should + 动词原形”，其中should可以省略。所以设空处应填动词原形cooperate。故填cooperate/should cooperate。 61. Facing accusations made by Ukrainian President, the Russian government claimed ________ (not launch) an attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】not to have launched 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：面对乌克兰总统的指控，俄罗斯政府声称没有对切尔诺贝利核电站发动攻击。空白处在句子中作宾语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，且“claim to do sth”为固定用法，表示“声称做某事”，根据上文“Facing accusations made by Ukrainian President(面对乌克兰总统的指控)”可知上文提到了乌克兰总统的指控，可推理出此处说的是俄罗斯政府声称没有对切尔诺贝利核电站发动攻击，也就是说空白处表示的动作在主句谓语动词claimed表示的动作之前发生，所以应用动词不定式的完成式，又因是否定形式，故填not to have launched。 V. Translation (17%: 3%+3%+3%+4%+4%) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 62. 从某些方面来说， 这个星球似乎正大幅度地变小。（课文默写句）(汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】In some ways, the planet seems to be shrinking dramatically. 【解析】 【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词和副词。表示“从某些方面来说”用in some ways，表示“这个星球”用the planet作句子的主语，表示“似乎是”用seem to be，句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语为单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式seems，表示“正大幅度地变小”用不定式的进行式to be doing，表示“变小”用shrink，“大幅度地”dramatically副词修饰动词，句首单词首字母大写。故翻译为In some ways, the planet seems to be shrinking dramatically. 63. 经典文学不仅寓意深刻，而且其魅力历久弥新。(Not only, fade) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Not only do classic literary works have profound meanings, but also their charm never fades over time. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型、倒装用法、名词短语和动词短语。根据句意以及句子的提示词可知，该句应为Not only…but also…的固定句型，句子陈述一般性事实，时态为一般现在时，表示“经典文学”应为名词短语classic literary works；表示“寓意深刻”应为动词短语have profound meanings，not only位于句首，句子需要部分倒装，将助动词do提前；表示“他们的魅力”为名词短语their charm；表示“历久弥新”应为动词短语never fade over time，主语为单数，谓语动词fade用单数形式。故翻译为：Not only do classic literary works have profound meanings, but also their charm never fades over time. 64. 观众们迫不及待想观看这部根据一系列真实故事改编的电影。(wait) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The audience can’t wait to watch the film adapted from a series of true stories. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定搭配、非谓语动词。表示“观众们”用the audience，作主语，句首单词，首字母大写。表示“迫不及待做某事”用can’t wait to do sth.；表示“观看这部电影”用watch the film，位于不定式符号to后，watch用原形。表示“根据……改编”用adapt... from，与the film为被动关系，用过去分词，作后置定语 。表示“一系列”用固定搭配a series of。表示“真实故事”用true stories，用a series of true stories作adapted from的宾语。故翻译为：The audience can’t wait to watch the film adapted from a series of true stories. 65. 从运动员们的表现来看，他们个个都渴望追逐梦想，绝不会半途而废。(long) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Judging from the athletes’ performances, they all long to chase their dreams and will never give up halfway. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语、动词短语和时态。“从……来看”用固定短语judging from...，作状语，其后宾语“运动员们的表现”用the athletes’ performances表示；主语“他们个个”用人称代词they和同位语all表示，“渴望做某事”作谓语，用动词短语long to do sth.，描述现在的心理状态，用一般现在时态，“追逐梦想”用动词短语chase their dreams，用不定式形式作宾语，“绝不会”用will never体现一般将来时，“半途而废”用动词短语give up halfway，作并列谓语，用原形构成一般将来时态。综上，全句译为：Judging from the athletes’ performances, they all long to chase their dreams and will never give up halfway. 66. 研究者正将这一概念转化为应用，他们坚信这将对环境产生积极影响。(convert) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Researchers are converting this concept into application, and they firmly believe that it will have a positive impact on the environment. 【解析】 【详解】考查名词、动词、名词短语、宾语从句、动词短语和时态。根据句意以及句子提示词可知，表示“研究者”为名词Researchers；表示“把……转化……”应为动词短语convert…into…；表示“这一概念”为名词this concept；表示“应用”为名词application；“正将这一概念转化为应用”可译为are converting this concept into application，为现在进行时；表示“相信”为动词believe，后接that引导的宾语从句，在该宾语从句中，表示“对环境产生积极影响”应为动词短语have a positive impact on the environment。故翻译为Researchers are converting this concept into application, and they firmly believe that it will have a positive impact on the environment. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 上海市延安中学2024学年第二学期三月质量调研 高一年级 英语试卷 （考试时间：90分钟 满分100分） 第I卷 (79分) L Listening Comprehension (15%) Section A (5%) Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I often liked to play tricks on people at MIT. One time, in mechanical drawing class, someone picked up a French curve (曲线板) and said, “I wonder if the curves on this thing have some special formula?” I thought for a moment and said, “Sure they do. The curves are very special. Let me show you.” I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. “The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent (切线) is horizontal.” All the guys in the class held their french curves up at different angles, placing their pencils at the lowest point, and discovered that the tangent was indeed horizontal. They were all excited by this “discovery” — even though they had already learned in calculus (微积分) that the derivative (切线的斜率) of the minimum of any curve is zero. They didn’t connect the two ideas. Their knowledge was so fragile! I did a similar trick four years later at Princeton. I was talking with an assistant of Einstein, who worked with gravity all the time. I gave him a problem: You blast off in a rocket with a clock on board, and there’s a clock on the ground. You have to return when the ground clock says one hour has passed. You want your clock to be as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock goes faster because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you go too high, you have to go so fast that the speed slows your clock down. So you can’t go too high. The question is, what program of speed and height should you make to get the maximum time on your clock? The assistant worked on it for a while before realizing the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up normally, so that the time it takes to go up and come down is an hour, that’s the correct motion. It’s the fundamental principle of Einstein’s gravity — the “proper time” is at a maximum for the actual curve. But when I presented it to him, he didn’t recognize it. It was like the guys in mechanical drawing class, but this time it wasn’t freshmen. This fragility is fairly common, even among learned people. 44. What did the students in the mechanical drawing class discover about the French curve? A. The curves on the French curve were designed to follow a specific mathematical pattern. B. The tangent at the lowest point of the curve was always horizontal, no matter how it was turned. C. The French curve could only be used to draw straight lines. D. The curves on the French curve were related to basic calculus principles. 45. The author describes certain kind of knowledge as “fragile” or “fragility”, and which of the following words is closest in meaning to “fragile” in this context? A. Delicate. B. Complex. C. Solid. D. Precise. 46. How would the author most likely view Einstein’s assistant? A. He is a creative thinker but takes time to apply his knowledge effectively. B. He lacks a deep understanding of Einstein’s theories and often makes mistakes. C. He is confident but initially struggles to connect his knowledge to practical problems. D. He is knowledgeable but struggles to apply his knowledge in practical situations. (B) They don’t just stay in a room waiting to die If you have relatives in care homes, you may know what’s typically on offer. A care home might be just a repurposed big old house, or a new-build as cost-efficient as a budget hotel. No matter how old you are now, there’s a point in caring about what’s going on. It’s an issue for society in general as the population ages. Architecture has a role to play, as the physical environment can improve or harm the wellbeing of residents. Done right, design can make the care of elderly people less stressful and more effective. For architects, designing for older people and those living with age-related diseases gives them a chance to do something of social value. The Village Landais, in the town of Dax in south-west France, is a good example. It is an attempt to “give real life back” to people with Alzheimer’s. As one staff member puts it, “they don’t just stay in a room waiting to die.” It features an arcaded square with a restaurant, library and other facilities. Four groups of buildings are built around a pleasant green space, with a pond and trees in the middle. The project, which opened in 2020, aims to give as much freedom to the villagers as possible. The five-hectare community has a fence around it for the safety of its vulnerable residents. Within its boundary, though, people can come and go more or less as they please. They can walk around the open spaces, visit their neighbours, go to the restaurant or to a show in the village auditorium, and attend to animals and plants in a mini-farm and a kitchen garden. There are other details designed to reduce the effects of the disease. The paving is beige, as strong contrasts can make people with Alzheimer’s feel anxious. Light and dark are used to attract attention to where it should go. Pale door handles, for example, are placed against darker backgrounds. There’s also a make-believe shop, where villagers can “buy” products without actually paying for them. A make-believe compartment of an old-fashioned railway carriage has a screen inside that shows countryside scrolling by to make patients think they really have been on a journey, which can calm the residents. These attempts appear to work. In Dax the villagers seem cheerful and relaxed. Independent research recently found that markers for such things as cognitive decline and depression were significantly better in the Dax village than in other care homes. 47. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about care homes? A. Their quality is mainly determined by their age. B. Their design has a significant impact on the elderly’s life. C. They are all newly-built to realize cost-efficiency. D. They are not a concern for the young. 48. What do the make-believe shop and old-fashioned railway carriage compartment in Village Landais aim at? A. Allowing residents to practice shopping skills. B. Encouraging residents to learn about history. C. Training residents to adapt to the outside world. D. Providing a sense of normalcy and calmness to the residents. 49. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. An introduction to the basic facilities within a typical care home. B. A discussion on treating Alzheimer’s disease effectively via architecture. C. An illustration of how care homes improve elderly life, especially for Alzheimer’s patients. D. A comparison of different care homes in terms of their architectural designs. (C) The English language, which is widely used around the world today, has a long and fascinating history. Its origin dates from the 5th century when Germanic tribes, such as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain. Their languages were part of a language chain that eventually led to the formation of English. These languages combined and gradually formed Old English (450-1150), which was quite different from the English we use today, with a complex inflectional system and a large number of Germanic words. Then came the Middle English period (1150-1450). After the Norman Conquest in 1066, French became the language of the ruling class in England. As a result, a significant amount of French vocabulary merged into English. This influx of French words not only changed the vocabulary but also multiplied the complexity of the language’s grammar and usage. For example, many words related to law, government, and cuisine were borrowed from French, showing a remarkable similarity between the two languages in these fields. This led to a significant change in the English language, making it more diverse in vocabulary and grammar. The Renaissance also had a profound impact on English. It not only introduced many Latin and Greek words but also, along with the development of printing technology, promoted the standardization of English. This made the language more stable and laid the foundation for its spread around the world. Since then, Modern English has emerged. As time went by, the English language continued to evolve. Today, English is the most widely used language globally. It serves as an official language in more than 50 countries. In the fields of international business, diplomacy, and education, the role of English is indispensable to other languages. It is also the language of the Internet, with a large proportion of online information being in English. Additionally, English has a rich variety of dialects around the world, such as American English, British English, Australian English, etc., each with its own unique features. However, the widespread use of English has unfortunately led to the extinction of some minority languages, as more and more people choose to communicate in English. In conclusion, the development of the English language is a long-term process influenced by various historical events and cultural exchanges. Its current status as a global language reflects its versatility and adaptability. 50. What was the most significant change to the English language during the Middle English period? A. The simplification of its complex inflectional system. B. The addition of a large number of French-rooted words. C. The multiplication of Germanic words in grammar and usage. D. The formation of a language chain leading to Modern English. 51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Compared with Old English, English today has a large number of Germanic words. B. Norman rulers promoted teaching of French, making English more diverse. C. Latin and Greek words became dominant in English in the Renaissance. D. English now holds formal recognition in numerous countries worldwide. 52. It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that ________. A. evolution is called for in English despite its indispensable role B. English is composed of a large number of Internet words C. some languages are going extinct owing to the dominance of English D. English dialects share uniform features regardless of regional variations. 53. What would be the best title for the passage? A. English: From Germanic Roots to Continental Expansion B. English: From Humble Origin to Global Domination C. English: Obscure Origin and Gradual Growth D. English: Modest Onset and Domestic Growth Section C (6%) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the sentences that can be filled into the blanks. Note there are two more sentences than can be used. Learning to Choose, to Let Go, and to Embrace Regrets for Growth In the journey of life, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenging task of choosing one path over another. However, the art of making wise choices often requires us to let go of certain desires and dreams. Embracing this duality — choosing and releasing — is essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Life, much like a video game, presents us with countless options and decisions. ___54___. Our time and energy are limited, and we must focus on what truly matters. Choosing, at its core, reflects our values and aspirations. It demands self-awareness and a clear understanding of our goals. For instance, consider a high school student torn between pursuing a passion for music and excelling in core academic subjects to se cure a better college future. ___55___. However, making wise choices also involves recognizing the need to let go. This means acknowledging desires or dreams that may no longer align with our well-being or are beyond our control. Letting go might mean stepping away from a cherished hobby, distancing ourselves from a social circle that no longer supports us, or releasing a long-held dream that has outlived its purpose. It’s not about achieving perfection but about prioritizing what truly matters and managing our resources wisely. ___56___. They serve as persistent reminders of past mistakes or unfulfilled aspirations. The student might regret not dedicating enough time to certain subjects or missing out on valuable experiences due to overcommitment. Yet, when faced head-on, these regrets can become powerful teachers, offering lessons that shape our future decisions. This process of choosing, letting go, and learning from regrets helps us evolve and mature. It transforms life’s challenges into valuable wisdom, guiding us toward a more purposeful and fulfilling journey. Now, if you’re a student sitting an exam and suddenly realize time is slipping away, take a deep breath and smile. Remember, this exam is just another opportunity to practice the art of decision-making. If you can’t answer every question, it’s okay to let some go. ___57___. After all, the best players in life know when to level up and move on to the next challenge with grace and resilience. A. But in the game world, not only can we easily bypass tough situations with simple cheats, but we can also start over afresh without any real-world consequences holding us back. B. such a decision is fraught with complexity, requiring careful consideration of personal interests, long-term ambitions, and the inevitable trade-offs involved. C. Regrets, though painful, are an inevitable part of life. D. Instead of looking back on the past, we should always keep our eyes on the future and strive for greater achievements. E Focus on what you know and make the most of the time you have. F. Yet, unlike a game where shortcuts or tricks might help us overcome obstacles, real life offers no such luxuries. 第Ⅱ卷 (21分) IV.
