新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高三下学期3月份月考英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息; 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A Should humans explore space? If you ask me I’ll definitely give a positive answer. The space exploration has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions, which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives. Space programs can also indirectly lead to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures, such as the condition of crops, soil, rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. In recent years, space-based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology (流行病学). This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently. Furthermore, space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets. For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences. 1. What can space exploration do according to Paragraph 2? A. Improve the traffic on the earth. B. Help humans communicate and spread information. C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters. D. Promote travel between countries. 2. How can space programs help solve poverty and world hunger? A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites. B. By transporting food worldwide more easily. C. By creating job opportunities for the poor. D. By protecting available land resources. 3. What does the writer think of mining resources on other planets? A. Time-wasting. B. Arguable. C. Unnecessary. D. Rewarding. 4. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To ask people to explore space independently. B To encourage people to explore space cooperatively. C. To tell the readers the importance of exploring space. D. To show the readers the advantages of exploring space. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讲的是人类是否应该探索太空为此话题而展开的讨论。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The space exploration has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions, which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.(太空探索直接影响着人类的生活，也影响着我们这个世界的现状。环绕地球运行的卫星使全世界的通信成为可能，将不同大陆的人们联系起来，向全世界广播信息。全球定位系统（GPS）可以在任何地方确定我们的位置。此外，气象卫星可以预测有害的天气状况，这使人类能够为致命的自然灾害做好准备，挽救生命。)”可知，根据第二段，太空探索可以帮助人类交流和传播信息。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Space programs can also indirectly lead to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures, such as the condition of crops, soil, rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.(太空计划还可以间接地解决贫困和世界饥饿问题。例如, 如果人类应用技术，大片土地可以得到更好的利用。最有效的工具是人造地球卫星。它可以在很短的时间内筛选土地面积，显示有用的措施，如作物状况、土壤、降雨和干旱。然后，它可以将这些信息传输到地球上的地面站，以便更好地使用)”可知，太空计划利用人造地球卫星造福农作物生产来帮助解决贫困和世界饥饿问题。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets.(随着太空技术的进步，利用和探索其他行星的巨大潜力将是明智的，例如小行星或其他行星上的采矿资源的可用性)”可推知，作者对在其他星球上开采资源这一行为认为是有意义的。故选D项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.(对于宇宙的探索来说，也许最有利的是它将把我们团结起来，为了一个共同的目标而努力，不管我们有什么分歧。)”可推知，最后一段的目的是鼓励人们合作探索太空。故选B。 B The Best Art Exhibitions to See in Hong Kong With a large number of independent galleries exhibiting traditional and modem art, Hong Kong has tens of exhibitions happening at any moment. Here are the major ones you can’t miss. Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition Sponsored by the Simon Suen Foundation, the exhibition features 39 recent works by five talented Hong Kong artists under 40. The exhibition celebrates creativity and showcases the mixture of Chinese and Western artistic elements, providing a platform to highlight local culture and emerging artistic talent. Life is Architecture This is the first major review of Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the greatest architects of the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibition takes an expanded and closer look at his practice through six themes representing areas of focus and approaches throughout his high-profile career. Fashioning Imagination The exhibition is the first in East Asia dedicated to Guo Pei, the Chinese haute couture (高级时装) designer known for her continuous haute couture collections in Paris. One of her most famous pieces is Rihanna’s “Yellow Empress” dress from the 2015 Met Gala, which brought the designer international fame. The exhibition will feature over forty attractive pieces, diving into her imaginative world of beautiful Eastern and Western influences. The Augmented Exhibition To celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the exhibition will combine augmented reality technology with historical artifacts to bring the 850-year story of Notre-Dame to life. Visitors can explore milestones such as royal weddings and Napoleon’s coronation (加冕礼) through the interactive HistoPad. 5.

The exhibition takes an expanded and closer look at his practice through six themes representing areas of focus and approaches throughout his high-profile career.(这是对贝聿铭的首次大型回顾展，贝聿铭是20世纪和21世纪最伟大的建筑师之一。本次展览通过六个主题，更广泛且更深入地审视了他的建筑实践，这些主题代表了他在备受瞩目的职业生涯中所关注的领域和采用的方法。)”可知，该展览是对著名建筑师贝聿铭的首次大型回顾展，会深入探讨他的建筑实践，所以如果对建筑艺术感兴趣，应该参观这个展览。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition部分中的“The exhibition celebrates creativity and showcases the mixture of Chinese and Western artistic elements, providing a platform to highlight local culture and emerging artistic talent.(该展览赞颂了创造力，展示了中西方艺术元素的融合，为凸显本土文化和新锐艺术人才提供了一个平台。)”可知，该展览展示了中西方艺术元素的融合。而根据文章“Fashioning Imagination”部分中的“The exhibition will feature over forty attractive pieces, diving into her imaginative world of beautiful Eastern and Western influences.(本次展览将展出四十多件迷人的作品，带观众深入探索她那融合了美丽的东西方元素的充满想象力的世界。)”可知，该展览也体现了东西方元素的融合。由此可知，这两个展览的共同之处是都融合了东西方元素。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章The Augmented Exhibition部分中的“To celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the exhibition will combine augmented reality technology with historical artifacts to bring the 850-year story of Notre-Dame to life. Visitors can explore milestones such as royal weddings and Napoleon’s coronation (加冕礼) through the interactive HistoPad.(为庆祝巴黎圣母院大教堂重新开放，本次展览将增强现实技术与历史文物相结合，让有着850年历史的巴黎圣母院的故事栩栩如生。参观者可以通过交互式HistoPad探索诸如皇家婚礼和拿破仑加冕礼等重要历史时刻。)”可知，该展览的特别之处在于将增强现实技术与历史文物相结合，参观者可以通过交互式的HistoPad来探索历史事件，即参观者能够与科技互动。故选C。 C Disastrous floods are becoming more and more common around the world. The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall, but as cities expand, and more and more land is under concrete or paving, less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm drains and sewerage (雨污排水) systems. As they become overwhelmed by the volume of water, the risk of flash flooding increases. Could the way that cities are growing be making things worse? Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of flooding? Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so. Early in 2013, he proposed the concept of “sponge (海绵) cities”, which are designed to soak up water-like a sponge - reducing the risk of sudden floods. Natural solutions are encouraged, using riverside parks and ponds to absorb floodwater. Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the world. Auckland, in New Zealand, was named the spongiest city in one study. It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley stream with green banks and connected parks. This has reduced flooding in the nearby residential areas as well as the amount of associated pollutants which used to be washed into the sea. Auckland has taken a natural approach, but a much more high-tech method can be seen in Amsterdam. The Dutch city has installed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings. These roofs have a layer of plants on the outside, and then layers beneath which collect and store rainwater. This water can be used by people to water plants or wash toilets. Advanced software can even tell the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximize the system’s ability to absorb rainwater. Yu Kongjian describes the sponge city approach as using Tai Chi with nature instead of boxing. Questions have been raised as to whether a natural approach is sufficient when faced with increased rain fall globally. What remains to be seen is whether increased scale and combination with modern technology can help natural methods save many more people from flooding. 8. What may cause the risk of city flooding? A. The city size. B. The city design. C. The city location. D. The city population. 9. Which of the following fail to serve as “sponge”? A. Riverside parks. B. Ponds. C. Blue-green roofs. D. Culverts. 10. What can be inferred about the sponge city approach from the last paragraph? A. It uses boxing with nature. B. It works well without doubt. C. Its further function needs testing. D. It is sufficient for future flooding. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How sponge cities could prevent floods. B. Why the concept of “sponge cities” was proposed. C. Why floods are becoming more and more common. D. How the natural approach combines with high-tech method. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球洪水频发原因以及如何通过“海绵城市”的设计来减少洪水风险。文章还介绍了自然方法和高科技方法在城市防洪中的应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall, but as cities expand, and more and more land is under concrete or paving, less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm drains and sewerage (雨污排水) systems. As they become overwhelmed by the volume of water, the risk of flash flooding increases.(气候变暖导致降雨量增加，但随着城市扩张，越来越多的土地被混凝土或铺装覆盖，吸收的水量减少，更多的水需要通过排水系统排出。当这些系统不堪重负时，突发洪水的风险增加)”可知，城市设计（如混凝土覆盖和排水系统）是导致洪水风险增加的主要原因。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Auckland, in New Zealand, was named the spongiest city in one study. It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley stream with green banks and connected parks.(新西兰的奥克兰在一项研究中被评为最“海绵”的城市。它用绿色河岸和相连的公园取代了奥克利溪周围的混凝土涵洞)”可知，涵洞（culverts）是混凝土结构，不具备“海绵”功能。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Questions have been raised as to whether a natural approach is sufficient when faced with increased rain fall globally. What remains to be seen is whether increased scale and combination with modern technology can help natural methods save many more people from flooding.(有人质疑，面对全球降雨量增加，自然方法是否足够。还有待观察的是，扩大规模和与现代技术结合是否能帮助自然方法拯救更多人免受洪水侵袭)”可推知，海绵城市方法的进一步功能需要测试。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并根据第二段“Early in 2013, he proposed the concept of “sponge (海绵) cities”, which are designed to soak up water-like a sponge - reducing the risk of sudden floods. Natural solutions are encouraged, using riverside parks and ponds to absorb floodwater. Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the world.(早在2013年，他就提出了“海绵城市”的概念，即像海绵一样吸水，减少突发洪水的风险。鼓励使用自然解决方案，利用河边公园和池塘来吸收洪水。受此启发的方法已被世界各地的城市采用)”可知，短文重点介绍了“海绵城市”的概念及其在城市防洪中的应用，包括自然方法和高科技方法。故选A。 D “Just go up and jump. Don’t think. If you do, you’ll just complicate things,” shouted Nuno, a photographer travelling with me on a press trip to Switzerland. I held onto the cold metal railing (栏杆), while he egged on me to keep going. As I reached the top of the ladder leading up to the diving board suspended over a green pond and looked over at the vast nothingness sandwiched between, I did exactly what Nuno told me. The next thing I knew was that I walked to the edge, closed my eyes, held my breath and jumped. I don’t remember the fall. What I do remember is the time it took me to break into the water’s surface. It felt like a century. For me, a male adult who got by with breast strokes and couldn’t tread (踩) water without holding onto something, it felt like a barrier had been overcome. Something changed the moment I jumped off that five-meter-high diving board into the depths of Drei Weieren, a cold 17th-century pond in the city of St. Gallen in Switzerland, which its residents crowded for a swim during summer and to skate in the winter. I couldn’t stop smiling as I changed out of my wet clothes in a bath house and wondered what it was that made me excited. Maybe it was the challenge of doing what I would otherwise have never tried — jumping off an edge. Maybe it was the freedom that Nuno’s words forced me to pursue. What he said holds true for so much of life, doesn’t it? Don’t we all complicate things by thinking more than we need to? Sometimes one needs to quiet the voice of self-doubt and throw oneself into something. I enjoyed being wrapped in exhilaration, so over the next week, I threw caution to the winds and tried new things with varying levels of success. 12. Why did Nuno shout to the author? A. To encourage him to dive. B. To urge him to pose for a photo. C. To remind him not to fall off the board. D. To warn him to think twice before diving. 13. How did the author feel after trying diving? A. He was ashamed of his identity. B. He was sympathetic to Nuno. C. He was grateful to local people. D. He was satisfied with himself. 14. What does the author share in paragraph 4? A. Reflections on unexpected travel plans. B. Reasons for his unsuccessful diving attempt. C. Lessons learned from his diving experience. D. Assumptions about future diving practice. 15. What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Support. B. Excitement. C. Security. D. Praise. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在瑞士旅行时，在摄影师Nuno的鼓励下克服恐惧，勇敢地从五米高的跳板上跳入水中，并在此过程中获得了克服自我怀疑、勇于尝试新事物的启示。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Just go up and jump. Don’t think. If you do, you’ll just complicate things.(上去跳吧。别想太多。如果你想了，你只会把事情复杂化)”可知，Nuno是在鼓励作者跳水。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I couldn’t stop smiling as I changed out of my wet clothes in a bath house and wondered what it was that made me excited.(当我在澡堂换下湿漉漉衣服时，我忍不住笑了，我想知道是什么让我如此兴奋)”可知，尝试跳水后，作者对自己很满意。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Maybe it was the challenge of doing what I would otherwise have never tried — jumping off an edge. Maybe it was the freedom that Nuno’s words forced me to pursue. What he said holds true for so much of life, doesn’t it? Don’t we all complicate things by thinking more than we need to? Sometimes one needs to quiet the voice of self-doubt and throw oneself into something.(也许这是我做了一件我本不会尝试的事情——从边缘跳下去的挑战。也许是努诺的话迫使我追求的自由。他说的话在很多生活中都是正确的，不是吗? 我们是不是都想得太多，把事情搞复杂了? 有时候，你需要平息自我怀疑的声音，全身心投入到某件事中去)”可知，作者在第4段分享了从他的跳水经历中学到的教训。故选C。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“I couldn’t stop smiling as I changed out of my wet clothes in a bath house and wondered what it was that made me excited.(当我在澡堂里换下湿漉漉的衣服时，我忍不住微笑，心想究竟是什么让我如此兴奋)”及画线词后“… I threw caution to the winds and tried new things with varying levels of success.(……我抛开顾虑，尝试新事物，取得了不同程度的成功)”可知，作者应该是享受这种兴奋的感觉，所以接下来的一周，他抛开谨慎，尝试新事物，并取得了不同程度的成功，由此可知，“exhilaration”的意思应该是“兴奋”。故选B。 第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Is Sugarcoat Sweet? In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth. ____16____ However, too much display of this behavior can muddy the waters of communication. Here are the dangers of sugarcoating: ____17____ Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost — the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Leave issues unsolved. Sugarcoated messages can prevent important issues from being tackled. When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes. ____18____ Meanwhile, the present status will continue, leaving important issues unresolved. Get upset and annoyed. Over time, the lack of clarity has a significant effect on relationships and can lead to frustration and complaint, especially when one party has put in an effort to express themselves but feels unacknowledged. The dissatisfaction may lead to their suspicion of the authenticity of the relationship and doubt about whether their efforts are being wasted. ____19____ While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good. ____20____ Only in this way can we reduce misunderstandings and have relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness completely but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective. A. Reduce trust. B. Cause misinterpretations. C. This avoids displeasing them. D. The uncertainty can lead to inaction. E. This can create a cycle of negative emotions. F. Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance. G. So it is wise to be open for more direct and honest interactions. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了在交流中过度粉饰事实的危害，指出虽然想顾及他人感受很自然，但过于礼貌的交流有时弊大于利，应平衡礼貌与诚实。 【16题详解】 上文“In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth.(在我们努力维持和谐、避免冲突和防止伤害感情时，我们有时会忍不住出于礼貌而粉饰事实)”提到了人们粉饰事实的情况。F选项“Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance.(礼貌通常被视为一种积极的表现)”与上文衔接自然，解释了人们粉饰事实的原因，即因为礼貌被认为是积极的，所以才会这么做。故选F项。 【17题详解】 下文“Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions.(你的工作不是在传达坏消息时过度缓和语气，以至于让别人对你的意图感到困惑)”指出过度粉饰会让人困惑。B选项“Cause misinterpretations.(造成误解)”与下文逻辑相符，说明过度粉饰会导致误解，因为别人会困惑而误解意思。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes.(当反馈不明确时，接收者就很难采取适当的行动。他们可能不清楚对他们的期望是什么，也不知道如何进行必要的改变)”说明反馈不明确会让接收者难以行动。D选项“The uncertainty can lead to inaction.(这种不确定性会导致不作为)”与上文衔接紧密，“不确定性”指代上文反馈不明确的情况，“不作为”对应接收者难以采取行动。故选D项。 【19题详解】 上文“The dissatisfaction may lead to their suspicion of the authenticity of the relationship and doubt about whether their efforts are being wasted.(这种不满可能会导致他们怀疑这段关系的真实性，怀疑自己的努力是否白费)”提到了不满带来的负面结果。E选项“This can create a cycle of negative emotions.(这会形成一个负面情绪的循环)”承接上文，“这”指代上文的不满等负面情况，说明会形成负面情绪的循环，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good.(虽然想顾及他人感受很自然，但过于礼貌的交流有时弊大于利)”指出了过度礼貌交流的问题。G选项“So it is wise to be open for more direct and honest interactions.(所以，敞开心扉进行更直接、诚实的交流是明智的)”与上文构成因果关系，因为过度礼貌交流有弊端，所以要进行更直接、诚实的交流。故选G项。 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) On Friday, Ruth Reed, a retired school teacher, helped Keith Urban, a country music star, pay for his snacks at a convenience store, thinking he was a customer ____21____.

My heart was flipping with anticipation, each beat echoing the thrill and pleasure of attending a famous art studio in the heart of the city and trading my paintings. I imagined the busy streets of the city, the towering skyscrapers, and the creative energy that pulsed through every corner. This studio was more than just an opportunity; it was a dream that would come true, and a milestone I had been eagerly waiting for. As I climbed into the taxi to the airport, the driver, a friendly man with a warm smile, greeted me with a cheerful “Good morning”. I responded with a nod, my mind already racing ahead to the studio in that city. “First-time travel?” he asked, catching my gaze in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “Yes, a big-deal trip in New York,” I replied, my voice tinged with excitement. The driver smiled with a knowing look and said, “Ah, New York! Enjoy your flight. Just watch out for the traffic!” As we chatted, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The driver showed good manners and the sound of the engine was comforting. And I allowed myself to relax into the moment. The view of Canmore slowly gave way to the open road, and I watched as the landscape transformed, each mile bringing me closer to my destination. But my excitement quickly turned to upset as I stood in the security line at Calgary International Airport. My hands were shockingly empty, no familiar weight of my painting supplies. They were all gone, likely forgotten in the back of the taxi in my rush to catch the flight. A wave of helplessness washed over me when I realized it’s my carelessness that caused this to happen. I stood frozen, my mind racing through the implications of arriving in New York without my painting supplies. 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。 However, just as I was about to resign (使听任) myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal (航站楼). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, just as I was about to resign myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. It was the taxi driver. “Sir,” he said in a kind voice. “I found your painting supplies in the back of my cab. I know how important they might be for your trip to New York. I’ll do my best to get them back to you.” Hearing his words, a rush of relief flooded through me. I quickly told him where I was at the airport and thanked him repeatedly. With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal. He was holding my precious painting supplies in his hands. I rushed towards him and gave him a big hug gratefully. “Thank you so much,” I said, my voice filled with gratitude. He smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. I just couldn’t let your dream trip be ruined.” Then he wished me a great time in New York. I boarded the plane with a heart full of warmth and excitement, ready to embrace the adventure in the city. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在一个清爽的秋日早晨，怀着激动的心情从坎莫尔前往纽约市，准备参加著名艺术工作室活动并交易画作。乘坐出租车去机场时与司机愉快交谈，心情放松。然而，在机场安检处，作者发现自己匆忙中把绘画用品忘在了出租车后座，陷入了无助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，就在我准备接受这一不幸事件时，我的电话响了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：出租车司机来电告知找到物品并会归还，作者如释重负致谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“离航班起飞还有一个小时的时候，我看到出租车司机在航站楼外。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：司机归还绘画用品，作者感激，暖心登机开启纽约之旅。 2.续写线索： 出租车司机来电——作者如释重负——归还绘画用品——作者感激——暖心登机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说：say/utter ②.发现：find /discover 情绪类 ①.感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②.兴奋：excitement/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1].

As the data from our survey reveals, a staggering 50% of senior 3 students’ time is dedicated to study. In contrast, the time spent on sports only accounts for a meager 5%, while socializing takes up 25%, and a notable 20% goes to games. It’s clear that this time distribution is far from ideal. The excessive focus on study at the expense of sports is detrimental to our well-being. Moreover, the substantial amount of time invested in games not only shrinks our study hours but also diverts our attention. Thus, I propose reducing game time and allocating more time to sports. By doing so, we can boost our physical fitness and enhance our concentration in study. That’s all. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。要求考生图表中所提供的数据写一篇发言稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 集中于：focus on→concentrate on 加强：enhance→strengthen 建议：propose→suggest 促进：boost→promote 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Thus, I propose reducing game time and allocating more time to sports. 拓展句：Thus, I propose reducing game time so that we can allocate more time to sports. 【点睛】[高分句型1] It’s clear that this time distribution is far from ideal.

If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer. The space exploration has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions, which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives. Space programs can also indirectly lead to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures, such as the condition of crops, soil, rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. In recent years, space-based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology (流行病学). This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently. Furthermore space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets. For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences. 1. What can space exploration do according to Paragraph 2? A. Improve the traffic on the earth. B. Help humans communicate and spread information. C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters. D. Promote travel between countries. 2. How can space programs help solve poverty and world hunger? A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites. B. By transporting food worldwide more easily. C. By creating job opportunities for the poor. D. By protecting available land resources. 3. What does the writer think of mining resources on other planets? A. Time-wasting. B. Arguable. C. Unnecessary. D. Rewarding. 4. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To ask people to explore space independently. B. To encourage people to explore space cooperatively. C. To tell the readers the importance of exploring space. D. To show the readers the advantages of exploring space. B The Best Art Exhibitions to See in Hong Kong With a large number of independent galleries exhibiting traditional and modem art, Hong Kong has tens of exhibitions happening at any moment. Here are the major ones you can’t miss. Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition Sponsored by the Simon Suen Foundation, the exhibition features 39 recent works by five talented Hong Kong artists under 40. The exhibition celebrates creativity and showcases the mixture of Chinese and Western artistic elements, providing a platform to highlight local culture and emerging artistic talent. Life is Architecture This is the first major review of Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the greatest architects of the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibition takes an expanded and closer look at his practice through six themes representing areas of focus and approaches throughout his high-profile career. Fashioning Imagination The exhibition is the first in East Asia dedicated to Guo Pei, the Chinese haute couture (高级时装) designer known for her continuous haute couture collections in Paris. One of her most famous pieces is Rihanna’s “Yellow Empress” dress from the 2015 Met Gala, which brought the designer international fame. The exhibition will feature over forty attractive pieces, diving into her imaginative world of beautiful Eastern and Western influences. The Augmented Exhibition To celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the exhibition will combine augmented reality technology with historical artifacts to bring the 850-year story of Notre-Dame to life. Visitors can explore milestones such as royal weddings and Napoleon’s coronation (加冕礼) through the interactive HistoPad. 5 Which exhibition will you visit if you are interested in the art of buildings? A. Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition. B. Life is Architecture. C. Fashioning Imagination. D. The Augmented Exhibition. 6. What do the Hong Kong Emerging Artists Exhibition and Fashioning Imagination have in common? A. They gain international attention. B. They showcase local culture in Hong Kong. C. They are created by young artists. D. They combine Eastern and Western elements. 7. What is special about the Augmented Exhibition? A. The exhibition area is expanded. B. It displays the whole life of Napoleon. C. Visitors can be engaged with technology. D. It features the artifacts of royal family C Disastrous floods are becoming more and more common around the world. The warming climate is leading to heavier rainfall, but as cities expand, and more and more land is under concrete or paving, less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm drains and sewerage (雨污排水) systems. As they become overwhelmed by the volume of water, the risk of flash flooding increases. Could the way that cities are growing be making things worse? Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of flooding? Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so. Early in 2013 he proposed the concept of “sponge (海绵) cities”, which are designed to soak up water-like a sponge - reducing the risk of sudden floods. Natural solutions are encouraged, using riverside parks and ponds to absorb floodwater. Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the world. Auckland, in New Zealand, was named the spongiest city in one study. It has replaced the concrete culverts (涵洞) around the Oakley stream with green banks and connected parks. This has reduced flooding in the nearby residential areas as well as the amount of associated pollutants which used to be washed into the sea. Auckland has taken a natural approach, but a much more high-tech method can be seen in Amsterdam. The Dutch city has installed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings. These roofs have a layer of plants on the outside, and then layers beneath which collect and store rainwater. This water can be used by people to water plants or wash toilets. Advanced software can even tell the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximize the system’s ability to absorb rainwater. Yu Kongjian describes the sponge city approach as using Tai Chi with nature instead of boxing. Questions have been raised as to whether a natural approach is sufficient when faced with increased rain fall globally. What remains to be seen is whether increased scale and combination with modern technology can help natural methods save many more people from flooding. 8. What may cause the risk of city flooding? A. The city size. B. The city design. C. The city location. D. The city population. 9. Which of the following fail to serve as “sponge”? A. Riverside parks. B. Ponds. C. Blue-green roofs. D. Culverts. 10. What can be inferred about the sponge city approach from the last paragraph? A. It uses boxing with nature. B. It works well without doubt. C. Its further function needs testing. D. It is sufficient for future flooding. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How sponge cities could prevent floods. B. Why the concept of “sponge cities” was proposed. C. Why floods are becoming more and more common. D. How the natural approach combines with high-tech method. D “Just go up and jump. Don’t think. If you do, you’ll just complicate things,” shouted Nuno, a photographer travelling with me on a press trip to Switzerland. I held onto the cold metal railing (栏杆), while he egged on me to keep going. As I reached the top of the ladder leading up to the diving board suspended over a green pond and looked over at the vast nothingness sandwiched between, I did exactly what Nuno told me. The next thing I knew was that I walked to the edge, closed my eyes, held my breath and jumped. I don’t remember the fall. What I do remember is the time it took me to break into the water’s surface. It felt like a century. For me, a male adult who got by with breast strokes and couldn’t tread (踩) water without holding onto something, it felt like a barrier had been overcome. Something changed the moment I jumped off that five-meter-high diving board into the depths of Drei Weieren, a cold 17th-century pond in the city of St. Gallen in Switzerland, which its residents crowded for a swim during summer and to skate in the winter. I couldn’t stop smiling as I changed out of my wet clothes in a bath house and wondered what it was that made me excited. Maybe it was the challenge of doing what I would otherwise have never tried — jumping off an edge. Maybe it was the freedom that Nuno’s words forced me to pursue. What he said holds true for so much of life, doesn’t it? Don’t we all complicate things by thinking more than we need to? Sometimes one needs to quiet the voice of self-doubt and throw oneself into something. I enjoyed being wrapped in exhilaration, so over the next week, I threw caution to the winds and tried new things with varying levels of success. 12. Why did Nuno shout to the author? A. To encourage him to dive. B. To urge him to pose for a photo. C. To remind him not to fall off the board. D. To warn him to think twice before diving. 13. How did the author feel after trying diving? A. He was ashamed of his identity. B. He was sympathetic to Nuno. C. He was grateful to local people. D. He was satisfied with himself. 14. What does the author share in paragraph 4? A. Reflections on unexpected travel plans. B. Reasons for his unsuccessful diving attempt. C. Lessons learned from his diving experience. D. Assumptions about future diving practice. 15. What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Support. B. Excitement. C. Security. D. Praise. 第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Is Sugarcoat Sweet? In our pursuit to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and prevent hurt feelings, we’re sometimes tempted to be polite to sugarcoat the truth. ____16____ However, too much display of this behavior can muddy the waters of communication. Here are the dangers of sugarcoating: ____17____ Your job isn’t to soften the blow when delivering bad news to the extent that you leave others feeling confused about your intentions. When messages are wrapped in layers of politeness, the true intention or meaning can be lost — the receiver may not fully grasp the seriousness or urgency of the message. Leave issues unsolved. Sugarcoated messages can prevent important issues from being tackled. When feedback is not clear, it becomes difficult for the receivers to take appropriate action. They may not know exactly what is expected of them or how to go about making the necessary changes. ____18____ Meanwhile, the present status will continue, leaving important issues unresolved. Get upset and annoyed. Over time, the lack of clarity has a significant effect on relationships and can lead to frustration and complaint, especially when one party has put in an effort to express themselves but feels unacknowledged. The dissatisfaction may lead to their suspicion of the authenticity of the relationship and doubt about whether their efforts are being wasted. ____19____ While it’s natural to want to spare others’ feelings, overly polite communication can sometimes do more harm than good. ____20____ Only in this way can we reduce misunderstandings and have relationships built on trust and clarity. Remember, the goal is not to abandon politeness completely but to balance it with honesty, ensuring that our communications are both kind and effective. A. Reduce trust. B. Cause misinterpretations. C This avoids displeasing them. D. The uncertainty can lead to inaction. E. This can create a cycle of negative emotions. F. Being polite is generally seen as a positive performance. G. So it is wise to be open for more direct and honest interactions. 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) On Friday, Ruth Reed, a retired school teacher, helped Keith Urban, a country music star, pay for his snacks at a convenience store, thinking he was a customer ____21____.
