After he developed a disease that often results in damage to the spinal cord (脊髓) and nerves, Heslop’s parents pushed him to try wheelchair basketball. By high school, Heslop played wheelchair basketball on a competitive basketball team. The experience opened his eyes to the world of adaptive sports, which became his favorite. While he was never the biggest or strongest player, Heslop had a feel for the game and a desire to take it further. Faced with many challenges, he worked tirelessly to develop chair skills and conditioning that made him more explosive. “As I applied to graduate school, I knew I would play wherever I was planning to go,” Heslop said. “University of Michigan was near the top of my list academically. I also heard that they were trying to get an adaptive sports program going, and that helped me make my choice.” University of Michigan Adaptive Sports and Fitness was formed in 2018 to address the inequitable access to physical activity opportunities, competitive and recreational, for students with disabilities at University of Michigan. Since Heslop joined the program in 2020, University of Michigan’s wheelchair basketball team became part of the NWBA’s Division Ⅱ. After leading the team to an 8th-place finish at the NWBA Nationals in April 2022, Heslop participated in the US Men’s National Team Selection Camp where he fought against 30 of the nation to athletes and made the final twelve-man roster. This gave the recently graduated young man a better shot at his ultimate goal: playing for his country in the Paralympic Games. 4. What helped Heslop develop his passion for adaptive sports? A. The unexpected disease at seven. B. The email he received at a hotel. C. The University of Michigan he dreamed of. D. The experience in a wheelchair basketball team. 5. Why did Heslop choose University of Michigan? A. He accepted a large sum of scholarship. B. He could join his favorite sports program. C. He was promised a chance to play for the country. D. He was invited to set up Adaptive Sports and Fitness. 6. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A. Heslop’s achievements. B. Heslop’s ultimate goal. C. Heslop’s superior leadership. D. Heslop’s bright future. 7. Which can best describe Heslop? A. Generous. B. Reliable. C. Creative. D. Determined. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述Spencer Heslop患上一种经常导致脊髓和神经损伤的疾病后打轮椅篮球，在2022年4月带领球队在NWBA全国比赛中获得第八名后，他参加了美国男子国家队选拔营，在那里他与30名全国运动员进行了竞争，并进入了最后的12人名单。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“By high school, Heslop played wheelchair basketball on a competitive basketball team. The experience opened his eyes to the world of adaptive sports, which became his favorite.(高中时，Heslop在一个竞技篮球队打轮椅篮球。这次经历让他看到了适应性运动的世界，这成为了他的最爱。)”可知，让Heslop对适应性运动产生了热情的是在轮椅篮球队的经历。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“University of Michigan was near the top of my list academically. I also heard that they were trying to get an adaptive sports program going, and that helped me make my choice.(密歇根大学在我的学术名单上名列前茅。我还听说他们正在努力开展适应性体育项目，这帮助我做出了选择。)”可知，Heslop选择密歇根大学是因为他可以参加他最喜欢的体育项目。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“After leading the team to an 8th-place finish at the NWBA Nationals in April 2022, Heslop participated in the US Men’s National Team Selection Camp where he fought against 30 of the nation to athletes and made the final twelve-man roster.(在2022年4月带领球队在NWBA全国比赛中获得第八名后，Heslop参加了美国男子国家队选拔营，在那里他与30名全国运动员进行了竞争，并进入了最后的12人名单。)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了Heslop所取得的成就。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Faced with many challenges, he worked tirelessly to develop chair skills and conditioning that made him more explosive.(面对许多挑战，他孜孜不倦地学习椅子技巧和调节，使他更具爆发力。)”可知，Heslop是有决心的，故选D。 C When you’re bored, you might start playing with a ball or other objects. Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too—that’s why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it’s not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too, making them the first insects known to play. In the study, Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona, an insect expert, did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play. Of those, 45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults. A pathway was set up from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled. The other side had the same number of balls, but they were stuck to the floor. Half balls on each side were colored balls. The rest were left unpainted. For three hours a day over 18 days, Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren’t so interested in the side where the balls didn’t move, but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls. Once they managed to roll a ball, they strongly preferred that side. They returned, climbing on the balls and rolling them around. She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls. “There’s something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects,” Galpayage Dona says. In another experiment, she sometimes left the balls out overnight. “When I came in the next day, I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls.” As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones. Their play tapered off as they got older. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing the fun of play. B. By analyzing reasons for boredom. C. By introducing similar phenomena. D. By presenting animals’ cute images. 9. What did the researcher do in the experiment? A. She trained bumblebees to play balls. B. She put small balls along the pathway. C. She set up a pathway in bumblebees’ nest. D. She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls. 10. What does the underlined part “tapered off” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. Mattered. B. Helped. C. Decreased. D. Emerged. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bumblebees Prefer Shape to Color B. Balls Are Bumblebees’ Favorite Toys C. Playing with Objects Is Animals’ Second Nature D. Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，喜欢玩耍的不仅仅是哺乳动物。大黄蜂也这样做，这使它们成为已知的喜欢玩耍的第一种昆虫。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When you’re bored, you might start playing with a ball or other objects. Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too — that’s why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it’s not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too, making them the first insects known to play.(当你感到无聊时，你可能会开始玩球或其他物体。这种行为在人群中很常见。其他动物也喜欢它——这就是为什么狗会捡到一根棍子，或者猫会向玩具发起攻击。玩耍是消磨时间的一种令人愉快的方式。一项新的研究发现，喜欢玩耍的不仅仅是哺乳动物。大黄蜂也这样做，使它们成为已知的第一种昆虫)”可知，作者介绍了人类和一些动物是相似的，都会通过玩耍来消磨时间，以此来引起文章主题——大黄蜂也这样做。由此推知，作者通过介绍相似现象来引起文章主题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A pathway was set up from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled.(一条小路从大黄蜂巢穴通往一个进食区。一边是滚动的小木球)”可知，在实验中，研究者她把小球放在小路上。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones.(和哺乳动物一样，大黄蜂玩得最多的是年轻的)”和划线词所在句子“Their play tapered off as they got older.(随着年龄的增长，它们的玩耍逐渐tapered off)”可知，和哺乳动物一样，大黄蜂玩得最多的是年轻的，这说明那些岁数大的黄蜂玩得较少。由此推知，随着年龄的增长，大黄蜂的玩得次数减少。由此推知，划线短语“tapered off”意为“减少”，与C项“Decreased.(减少)”意思一样。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A new study finds that it’s not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too, making them the first insects known to play.(一项新的研究发现，喜欢玩耍的不仅仅是哺乳动物。大黄蜂也这样做，使它们成为已知的第一种昆虫)”可知，文章主要讲了实验表明，大黄蜂是已知的喜欢玩耍的第一种昆虫。由此可知，D项“大黄蜂是已知的玩耍的第一种昆虫”适合做文章标题。故选D。 D The UN this week launched a report urging companies to stop issuing false net-zero targets that amount to greenwashing. Greenwashing is a term used to describe situations where companies mislead consumers by claiming to be eco-friendly or sustainable as a marketing plan rather than as a core principle of their business model. Often, these industries spend more money making themselves appear sustainable than they do taking actual sustainable measures into their company. Cities, financial institutions, and scores of companies have announced plans to reduce their emissions to zero, which, in principle, should help the fight against climate change. “The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes (漏洞),” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report. Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting, which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere. Studies show that most of these net-zero plans will do little to stop temperatures from rising. For example, many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by 2050 that do not take into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell, which would allow them to increase production. Far from decreasing, fossil fuel production is going strong. To close these net-zero loopholes, the UN this week released a report that includes 10 recommendations to ensure that companies, cities, regions, and other non-state actors issue credible and accountable net zero commitments. “Their plans cannot rely on cheap carbon credits instead of immediately cutting their own emissions,” Guterres said. Financial institutions need to cut down emissions from all their investments and businesses need to bring down the carbon footprint of their supply chain, the report said. The report’s lead author, Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net-zero targets within a year. The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details. 12. What does “greenwashing” refer to? A. A green technology. B. A misleading statement. C. A business model. D. A spending target. 13. Why does the author mention the oil majors? A. To prove oil majors are really responsible. B. To set some good examples for other companies. C. To show some net- zero commitments make no sense. D. To indicate the benefit of net zero plans to climate change. 14. How does Guterres feel about the issued net-zero plans? A. Dissatisfied. B. Guilty. C. Shocked. D. Confused. 15. What is advised to do to fix net-zero loopholes? A. Plant more trees. B. Share more supply chains. C. Depend on cheap carbon credits. D. Make concrete actionable targets. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了联合国本周发布了一份报告，敦促企业停止发布相当于“洗绿”的虚假净零目标。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Greenwashing is a term used to describe situations where companies mislead consumers by claiming to be eco-friendly or sustainable as a marketing plan rather than as a core principle of their business model.(“绿色清洗”是一个术语，用来描述这样一种情况：企业声称自己是环保型或可持续型的营销计划，而不是其商业模式的核心原则，从而误导消费者)”可推知，“洗绿”指的是一种误导性的说法。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting, which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere(许多净零排放计划包含遥远或不明确的目标，往往要求使用未经证实的技术，如碳捕获和植树，这实际上允许企业继续污染大气)”可知，一些净零承诺包含遥远或不明确的目标，往往要求使用未经证实的技术，这会允许企业继续污染大气。由此推知，一些净零承诺是没有意义的。接着文章列举石油巨头的例子“For example, many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by 2050 that do not take into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell, which would allow them to increase production. Far from decreasing, fossil fuel production is going strong.(例如，许多石油巨头宣布了到2050年将其业务排放量减至零的计划，这些计划没有考虑到它们销售的化石燃料所排放的碳，这将使它们能够增加产量。化石燃料产量非但没有下降，反而增长强劲)”来说明一些净零承诺是没有意义的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes (漏洞),” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report.(“问题在于，这些净零排放承诺的标准有不同程度的精确性和漏洞，”联合国秘书长Antonio Guterres在报告发布时说)”可推知，Guterres对净零计划是不满意的。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The report’s lead author, Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net-zero targets within a year. The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details.(该报告的主要作者Catherine McKenna敦促企业在一年内公布新的净零排放目标。更新后的目标必须包含具体的可操作细节)”可知，建议制定具体可行的目标来弥补净零漏洞，故选D。 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。 There are hundreds of genres (流派) of music, so while some might like one kind, others might like something completely different. Why do people like different kinds of music? ____16____ At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that shares an interest in a certain kind of music. Music can also be nostalgic, that is, it creates a kind of longing for the past. Musicians leave behind a footprint with their music.____17____ Even long after the musicians are gone, people still find something in the musicians’ recordings that they can enjoy. We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories. ____18____ When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the brain, which can make us feel good. ____19____ There are some algorithms (算法) today that can help pick up on the kind of music we like. When we are streaming music, some programs will let us like or dislike songs. People’s taste in music can remain the same in their whole life or it can change many times. But the truth is, we don’t know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music — or sports, or food, or colors. ____20____ We are all different people who like different things. A. It’s music to our ears. B. Music can be a part of our identity. C. It becomes a mirror that we are holding up. D. They leave a permanent mark in people’s lives. E. Therefore, we might want to listen to a song on repeat. F. Other times, we might find music can bring up sad memories. G. There are lots of different factors that can influence our preferences. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐对人们的影响。 【16题详解】 根据后文“At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that shares an interest in a certain kind of music.(与此同时，音乐也可以帮助我们感觉自己是一个团体或文化的一部分，尤其是对某种音乐有共同兴趣的人)”可知，后文提到了音乐对自身其他方面的影响，故本句是在说明音乐可以成为身体的一部分，故B选项“音乐可以成为我们身份的一部分”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Musicians leave behind a footprint with their music.(音乐家在音乐中留下了足迹)”可知，上文提到了音乐家，D选项They指代上文Musicians。故D选项“他们在人们的生活中留下了永久的印记”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories.(我们可能还会发现，我们喜欢的音乐与我们的记忆密切相关。也许在我们小的时候，有人给我们唱过一首歌，勾起了我们美好的回忆)”可知，上文提到音乐可以勾起美好回忆，同样也能唤起悲伤的回忆。故F选项“其他时候，我们可能会发现音乐能唤起悲伤的回忆”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the brain, which can make us feel good.(当我们听自己喜欢的音乐时，大脑中有时会释放一种叫做多巴胺的化学物质，它能让我们感觉良好)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出喜欢的音乐让我们感觉良好，所以喜欢重复听。故E选项“因此，我们可能想要重复听一首歌”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“But the truth is, we don’t know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music — or sports, or food, or colors.(但事实是，我们并不知道人们为什么喜欢不同种类的音乐、运动、食物或颜色的确切答案)”可知，本句承接上文说明影响偏好的因素很多，无法确定。故G选项“有很多不同的因素可以影响我们的偏好”符合语境，故选G。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Baby Miloszek was born with a heart defect.

Humans 45. was named 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国针灸的发源、作用原理，因其独特的贡献而被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：中国针灸，也被称为“神针”艺术，是中国传统医学的一个分支。branch“分支”为可数名词，结合上文“Chinese acupuncture”可知，这里指单数含义，所以空处用不定冠词a，故填a。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：它历史可以追溯到石器时代。空处在句中为后置定语，短语：date back to“起源于，追溯到”，无被动，所以此处用现在分词形式。故填dating。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：它已被用于治疗各种各样的健康问题，如剧烈疼痛、运动损伤、抑郁等。形容词修饰名词，结合空前“a wide”可知，此处应用单数名词variety，故填variety。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：世界卫生组织推荐它作为100多种医学问题的良好治疗方法。短语：recommend...as...“推荐……作为……”，as为介词，故填as。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它是如何作用的呢? 特殊的细针被插入你身体的目标部位。形容词修饰名词，空后points为名词，所以空处用形容词。动词target和名词points为动宾关系，所以此处用形容词targeted，意为“定向的”，故填targeted。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：通常，穴位的数量在1到12之间，这取决于你的身体状况。空处为陈述性状语，处于句首，所以用副词Typically，故填Typically。 【42题详解】 考查比较级。句意：针头被推入皮肤下方，但在某些情况下，为了到达肌肉组织，它们会被推得更深一些。根据句中“The needles are pushed just under the skin”及“in order to reach the muscle tissue”可知，这里要使用比较级，表示“为了到达肌肉组织，针要刺的更深”，故填deeper。 【43题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：它背后的信念是疾病和疼痛的发生是因为体内的能量(或气)被阻塞。分析句子可知。空处及之后的内容在句中为表语从句，空后的句子结构完整，成分齐全，所以此处使用从属连词that来连接，故填that。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：当这种能量和谐平衡时，人类是最快乐和健康的。治疗后，你会感到无比的放松和平静。空处在句中为主语，结合空后的are可知，此处用名词复数，因处于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Humans。 【45题详解】 考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：由于其独特的贡献，中国针灸在2010年被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产，充分表明了其在世界范围内的认可。空处在句中为谓语，结合句中“in 2010”可知，时态为一般过去时；主语“Chinese acupuncture”为单数含义，与动词name为动宾关系，所以空处填was named，故填was named。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，学校英文报以“Voluntary Work Really Counts”为主题于上周末在学校展开了一次问卷调查。请你根据下列饼状图的调查结果用英文写一份报告投稿，内容包括： 1．调查的目的； 2．调查的结果； 3．你的看法。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Voluntary Work Really Counts ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Voluntary Work Really Counts Last weekend our school carried out a questionnaire survey.

He was bequeathed (遗赠) a mysterious box his dad had never allowed him and his sister to even go near. He signed papers, but was shocked to learn he didn’t get the key to open it and nothing about the key was mentioned in the will. “You’ll have to figure that out!” the lawyer said. Tim left the office, puzzled about what his late dad had left him. Just then, he remembered his childhood home where he and his twin sister Karen grew up. They had lost their mother just two months after they were born. They were raised by their dad Jonathan, and the two were the best friends! As they grew older, they were drawn to the mysterious box, but their dad warned them never to touch it, and even hung the key on a nail high above the fireplace so that they would never get their hands on its contents. Whatever he was hiding from his kids, he was on guard at all times. As the years fleeted by, Tim and Karen moved on with their respective lives. And their brother-sister bond went downhill. The twins fought over who would inherit (继承) their dad’s house. Jonathan was heartbroken and whatever trick he tried to reconcile (和解) them, nothing worked. Meanwhile, Jonathan’s health began to decline, and even on his deathbed, he wished his kids would put aside their differences and get back together. What would Tim do with the inherited box now? He went to his childhood home to find the key. The house no longer appeared like that loving home Tim remembered growing up in. When he reached to grab the key above the fireplace, he sensed someone behind him. “What are you doing here?” screamed Karen, casting the cell phone flashlight on Tim’s face. “Dad bequeathed me his old chest, and I came here looking for the key. But what are you doing here?” “Dad bequeathed me the key! So I came here to find the chest,” said Karen, puzzled about his father’s decision. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Something had to be wrong,” they thought and stared at each other. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears ran down their cheeks at seeing their childhood photos with their father and mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Something had to be wrong,” they thought and stared at each other. Both of them were puzzled about why their father gave one the key and the other the chest. Neither could open the chest without the other’s help. Suddenly they realized that only by giving out what their father gave them could they have the possibility to open the chest. Their father wanted them both put down their hatred and their father had been expecting they reconciled with each other. Karen gently passed the key to Tim and said, “You can open the chest with this key.” Tears ran down their cheeks at seeing their childhood photos with their father and mother. They saw how sweet and happy they used to be. But now their brother-sister bond went downhill, and they had lost their beloved father and mother. Until death, their father still wanted to see them reconcile with each other, but they didn’t. What they did must have made their father sad and disappointed. At this moment, they felt more than guilty and they made up their mind to fix the gap and went back to their sweet and happy brother-sister life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述蒂姆和凯伦兄妹两个各自收到了父亲的遗赠——一个盒子和一把钥匙，因为父亲想让关系走到低谷的兄妹两个能够和好如初。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““肯定出了什么问题，”他们想了想，然后互相凝视。”可知，第一段可描写兄妹两个体会到了父亲的用意。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到他们童年时与父亲和母亲的合影，眼泪顺着脸颊流了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他们兄妹二人和好的事情。 2.续写线索：困惑——领悟——后悔——和解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认识到：realize/catch on/recognize ②期待：expect/await ③和解：reconcile/fix the gap 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②内疚的：guilty/compunctious 【点睛】【高分句型1】Both of them were puzzled about why their father gave one the key and the other the chest.（由why引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Suddenly they realized that only by giving out what their father gave them could they have the possibility to open the chest.（由that和what引导的宾语从句，以及部分倒装） 【高分句型3】What they did must have made their father sad and disappointed.（由what引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖北省随州市部分高中2024--2025学年下学期三月联考 高二英语试题 本试卷共10页，全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1、答题前，请将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的制定位置。 2、选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡对应的答题区域内，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4、考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案写到答题栏上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B At a hotel, surrounded by teammates, he got the email. “Dear Spencer Heslop.” it read, “you have been invited to participate in the Selection Camp for the US Men’s National Team for 2022.” The recent graduate from University of Michigan School of Public Health, dreamed of the opportunity to play for the United States since he was seven years old. After he developed a disease that often results in damage to the spinal cord (脊髓) and nerves, Heslop’s parents pushed him to try wheelchair basketball. By high school, Heslop played wheelchair basketball on a competitive basketball team. The experience opened his eyes to the world of adaptive sports, which became his favorite. While he was never the biggest or strongest player, Heslop had a feel for the game and a desire to take it further. Faced with many challenges, he worked tirelessly to develop chair skills and conditioning that made him more explosive. “As I applied to graduate school, I knew I would play wherever I was planning to go,” Heslop said. “University of Michigan was near the top of my list academically. I also heard that they were trying to get an adaptive sports program going, and that helped me make my choice.” University of Michigan Adaptive Sports and Fitness was formed in 2018 to address the inequitable access to physical activity opportunities, competitive and recreational, for students with disabilities at University of Michigan. Since Heslop joined the program in 2020, University of Michigan’s wheelchair basketball team became part of the NWBA’s Division Ⅱ. After leading the team to an 8th-place finish at the NWBA Nationals in April 2022, Heslop participated in the US Men’s National Team Selection Camp where he fought against 30 of the nation to athletes and made the final twelve-man roster. This gave the recently graduated young man a better shot at his ultimate goal: playing for his country in the Paralympic Games. 4. What helped Heslop develop his passion for adaptive sports? A. The unexpected disease at seven. B. The email he received at a hotel. C. The University of Michigan he dreamed of. D. The experience in a wheelchair basketball team. 5. Why did Heslop choose University of Michigan? A. He accepted a large sum of scholarship. B. He could join his favorite sports program. C. He was promised a chance to play for the country. D. He was invited to set up Adaptive Sports and Fitness. 6. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A. Heslop’s achievements. B. Heslop’s ultimate goal. C. Heslop’s superior leadership. D. Heslop’s bright future. 7. Which can best describe Heslop? A. Generous. B. Reliable. C. Creative. D. Determined. C When you’re bored, you might start playing with a ball or other objects. Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too—that’s why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it’s not just mammals that like to play. Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too, making them the first insects known to play. In the study, Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona, an insect expert, did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play. Of those, 45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults. A pathway was set up from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled. The other side had the same number of balls, but they were stuck to the floor. Half balls on each side were colored balls. The rest were left unpainted. For three hours a day over 18 days, Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren’t so interested in the side where the balls didn’t move, but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls. Once they managed to roll a ball, they strongly preferred that side. They returned, climbing on the balls and rolling them around. She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls. “There’s something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects,” Galpayage Dona says. In another experiment, she sometimes left the balls out overnight. “When I came in the next day, I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls.” As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones. Their play tapered off as they got older. The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing the fun of play. B. By analyzing reasons for boredom. C. By introducing similar phenomena. D. By presenting animals’ cute images. 9. What did the researcher do in the experiment? A. She trained bumblebees to play balls. B. She put small balls along the pathway. C. She set up a pathway in bumblebees’ nest. D. She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls. 10. What does the underlined part “tapered off” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. Mattered. B. Helped. C. Decreased. D. Emerged. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bumblebees Prefer Shape to Color B. Balls Are Bumblebees’ Favorite Toys C. Playing with Objects Is Animals’ Second Nature D. Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play D The UN this week launched a report urging companies to stop issuing false net-zero targets that amount to greenwashing. Greenwashing is a term used to describe situations where companies mislead consumers by claiming to be eco-friendly or sustainable as a marketing plan rather than as a core principle of their business model. Often, these industries spend more money making themselves appear sustainable than they do taking actual sustainable measures into their company. Cities, financial institutions, and scores of companies have announced plans to reduce their emissions to zero, which, in principle, should help the fight against climate change. “The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes (漏洞),” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report. Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting, which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere. Studies show that most of these net-zero plans will do little to stop temperatures from rising. For example, many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by 2050 that do not take into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell, which would allow them to increase production. Far from decreasing, fossil fuel production is going strong. To close these net-zero loopholes, the UN this week released a report that includes 10 recommendations to ensure that companies, cities, regions, and other non-state actors issue credible and accountable net zero commitments. “Their plans cannot rely on cheap carbon credits instead of immediately cutting their own emissions,” Guterres said. Financial institutions need to cut down emissions from all their investments and businesses need to bring down the carbon footprint of their supply chain, the report said. The report’s lead author, Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net-zero targets within a year. The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details. 12. What does “greenwashing” refer to? A. A green technology. B. A misleading statement. C. A business model. D. A spending target. 13. Why does the author mention the oil majors? A. To prove oil majors are really responsible. B To set some good examples for other companies. C. To show some net- zero commitments make no sense. D. To indicate the benefit of net zero plans to climate change. 14. How does Guterres feel about the issued net-zero plans? A. Dissatisfied. B. Guilty. C. Shocked. D. Confused. 15.

He was bequeathed (遗赠) a mysterious box his dad had never allowed him and his sister to even go near. He signed papers, but was shocked to learn he didn’t get the key to open it and nothing about the key was mentioned in the will. “You’ll have to figure that out!” the lawyer said. Tim left the office, puzzled about what his late dad had left him. Just then, he remembered his childhood home where he and his twin sister Karen grew up. They had lost their mother just two months after they were born. They were raised by their dad Jonathan, and the two were the best friends! As they grew older, they were drawn to the mysterious box, but their dad warned them never to touch it, and even hung the key on a nail high above the fireplace so that they would never get their hands on its contents. Whatever he was hiding from his kids, he was on guard at all times. As the years fleeted by, Tim and Karen moved on with their respective lives. And their brother-sister bond went downhill. The twins fought over who would inherit (继承) their dad’s house. Jonathan was heartbroken and whatever trick he tried to reconcile (和解) them, nothing worked. Meanwhile, Jonathan’s health began to decline, and even on his deathbed, he wished his kids would put aside their differences and get back together. What would Tim do with the inherited box now? He went to his childhood home to find the key. The house no longer appeared like that loving home Tim remembered growing up in. When he reached to grab the key above the fireplace, he sensed someone behind him. “What are you doing here?” screamed Karen, casting the cell phone flashlight on Tim’s face. “Dad bequeathed me his old chest, and I came here looking for the key. But what are you doing here?” “Dad bequeathed me the key! So I came here to find the chest,” said Karen, puzzled about his father’s decision. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Something had to be wrong,” they thought and stared at each other. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears ran down their cheeks at seeing their childhood photos with their father and mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
