Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周) joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 4. Why was the author at a loss after high school? A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance. C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D. She struggled to decide a future direction. 5. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities. C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing. 6. What led the author to think about changing her major? A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications. C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities. 7. What does the author advise high school students to do? A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths. C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D. Engage in self-reflection consistently. C My son is 3 years old and likes doing things repeatedly. There was a period of time last summer when all he wanted to watch was a video about farming machines. He watched it so often that my brain started to shut down when I heard the boring background music, but the little guy’s enthusiasm for the video was unwavering. As annoying as such repeated tasks might be to us parents, repetition “has many functions” in childhood development, says Rebecca Parlakian from the nonprofit ZERO TO THREE. One of them is “Small children are truly the most persistent (执着的) humans,” says Parlakian. “They are just driven to master the world around them, and they do that through repetition.” “There’s a neurological (神经学的) basis for this,” she adds. “Learning requires building connections between neurons, and repetition enables that process. When a group of neurons need to work together to perform a specific function or process information, they must be activated repeatedly. The more often they are activated, the stronger their connections become,” says Harvard neuroscientist Charles Nelson. “We often say ‘practice makes perfect’, but when it comes to brain development, practice makes permanent (永久的),” says Parlakian. “As children learn things by doing things over and over,” she says, “they also start to take some comfort.” That’s especially obvious during my son’s nighttime routine, which involves my husband or me reading his favorite book about construction vehicles over and over again. Now I understand that this routine has not only taught him about different types of trucks, but brought him the comfort and safety of knowing that once we’re done reading, he will fall asleep with his head resting on my shoulder. So, if you find yourself feeling annoyed at your child’s repeated jokes, games or stories, know that they are just hard at work practicing and mastering their newfound knowledge and skills, and building the architecture of their brains in the process. 8. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Obvious. B. Natural. C. Steady. D. Different. 9. How does repetition enable learning? A. By strengthening the neural connections. B. By activating the specific areas in the brain. C. By increasing the information processing speed. D. By forming permanent information-function bonds. 10. Why does the author’s son get comfort from the nighttime routine? A. He can stay together with his parents. B. He can learn about different trucks. C. He can predict the unfolding of things. D. He can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. 11. What should parents do with kids’ repetitive behaviors? A. Get annoyed and shout at the kids. B. Discuss their functions with the kids. C. Turn a blind eye to them. D. Appreciate their role in personal growth. D People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. “This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.” Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy. They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds. The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape. The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms. 12. Why are some animals fearful of human beings? A. Human beings are the strongest. B. Human beings make them out of water. C. Human beings may have caused great damage. D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world. 13 What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park? A. There are many lions there. B. There are 21 waterholes there. C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there. D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities. 14. Which animal responded to human voices least? A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The advantages of human voices to animals. B. The damaging impact of human presence. C. The significant ecological results of human voices. D. The impact and possible application of human voices. 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。 People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there. ___16___ When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste. Here are a few examples. Packaging keeps the meat fresh. We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy — the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year — often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution? ___17___ Case-ready packaging can lengthen that shelf life to up to 21 days. If the meat you bought isn’t going to be eaten within a few days, case-ready packaging is the better choice for the environment. ___18___ This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months. ___19___ Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself. Packaging Fixes Sticky Situations. ___20___ One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped (刮掉) clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers. A. Packaging protects milk. B. Using Tetra Pak packaging. C. But packaging isn’t always the enemy. D. We should pay attention to the rubbish produced by packaging. E. Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks. F. It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted. G. Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a ___21___. But I was ___22___ because in art class, my paintings were never the most beautiful. One time, a project was to create a portrait (肖像画). After we were done, we ___23___ our portraits. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “Why does others’ look so ___24___ and mine looks so amateur (业余的)?” Despite this, I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can ___25___ it. I can free some creative juices and use what has inspired me to free myself in a way I may not have ___26___. Throughout school, teachers taught us about Picasso, van Gogh and da Vinci. They were ___27___ painting white people or green pastures (牧场) with cows, whatever was in front of them and around them. ___28___ that’s not what I saw around me, I never saw myself or my art in their work. Then I learned about the Black artists during the Harlem Renaissance and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and I felt more seen. They inspired me to paint abstract (抽象的) pictures. I take a piece of ___29___ and use it as the central point of my picture. I paint when I’m moved, and I’m often moved by what’s natural — emotions, nature and other forms of art, ____30____ creative writing. I’m also very moved by pain. I had a ____31____ with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is ____32____. You have to learn how to direct that towards something productive.” So sometimes I ____33____ that pain into art, into a painting. Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (在审美方面) pleasing, it’s still beautiful that I am able to ____34____ something. My paintings may not be a masterpiece, but they’re mine.

Each time I drove by, I would see a young boy at about age 15 and a large dog walking along the road. When cars would pass him on the other side, he made eye contact and waved with a toothy smile. I saw him almost every day, walking along the road and waving at cars. Amazing? On a rainy day, I saw him, along with his dog, sitting at the roadside. I stopped my car and got out to ask what had happened to him. “Nothing. I just want to take a break,” the boy responded. I then asked if he could need a ride. The young boy, Kevin, said, “I’m not really going anywhere, just walking, thank you anyway, sir.” I used to enjoy walking in the countryside myself, so I thought it wasn’t too odd. “In case of some emergency, or if you ever need a ride or help,” I told Kevin, “flag me down and I’ll do whatever I can.” Kevin thanked me and went on his way. Over the following days, each time we met, I would stop for a while and have a quick talk with Kevin, and his sweet dog Randy. One afternoon, I suddenly felt a voice inside my mind: “Go back home now!” There was still one hour for work. But I asked for an early leave and drove back faster than usual. Again, I saw Kevin walking along the road. But this time he didn’t have his usual smile and was pacing rather than walking. When he saw my car, he violently flagged me down. As I got closer, I could see he was crying. “What’s wrong, Kevin?” I asked. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “We were just walking but Randy somehow dropped,” Kevin said in tears. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Kevin sat in the back and kept talking to the dog. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高一下学期第一次月考英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 4. Why was the author at a loss after high school? A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance. C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D She struggled to decide a future direction. 5. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities. C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing. 6. What led the author to think about changing her major? A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications. C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities. 7. What does the author advise high school students to do? A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths. C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D. Engage in self-reflection consistently. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业后选专业和大学期间更换专业的心路历程。作者通过自身经历告诉读者，大学不仅是学术学习场所，更是个人探索和自我发现的舞台，鼓励学生在大学期间探索和发现适合自己的道路。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. (高中结束了，我只记得被困住了。我的大多数同龄人都选择了自己的专业，有些人甚至计划了自己的职业生涯。但我仍对此感到疑惑。)”可知，作者在高中毕业后感到迷茫主要是因为她在确定未来方向上遇到了难题。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. (它将补充我的沟通学位，同时为我提供课程之外的必要商业课程。我毫不犹豫地将市场营销纳入我的学习计划，目的是利用新学到的知识来配合我的专业将为我提供的技术技能。)”可知，作者认为市场营销能够作为她传播学学位的补充，同时也能提供课程之外的必要的商业知识，也就是说市场营销对作者的吸引力主要在于它的商业课程。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. (随着时间的推移，我发现自己更喜欢营销课程而不是沟通课程，就在那时，我第一次开始考虑做出改变。)”可知，作者在大学期间发现自己更喜欢营销课程，而不是最初选择的传播学课程，这促使作者考虑转专业。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. (进入大学时，你认为自己想要一件事，但一路上发现这可能不是你的正确选择，这是完全可以的。)”以及结合作者转专业的经历及其对待转专业的态度“I couldn’t be happier about making the change (做出改变，我高兴极了)”可推断，作者建议高中生对在大学中改变初衷或者改变学术道路（转专业）持开放态度。故选B项。 C My son is 3 years old and likes doing things repeatedly. There was a period of time last summer when all he wanted to watch was a video about farming machines. He watched it so often that my brain started to shut down when I heard the boring background music, but the little guy’s enthusiasm for the video was unwavering. As annoying as such repeated tasks might be to us parents, repetition “has many functions” in childhood development, says Rebecca Parlakian from the nonprofit ZERO TO THREE. One of them is “Small children are truly the most persistent (执着的) humans,” says Parlakian. “They are just driven to master the world around them, and they do that through repetition.” “There’s a neurological (神经学的) basis for this,” she adds. “Learning requires building connections between neurons, and repetition enables that process. When a group of neurons need to work together to perform a specific function or process information, they must be activated repeatedly. The more often they are activated, the stronger their connections become,” says Harvard neuroscientist Charles Nelson. “We often say ‘practice makes perfect’, but when it comes to brain development, practice makes permanent (永久的),” says Parlakian. “As children learn things by doing things over and over,” she says, “they also start to take some comfort.” That’s especially obvious during my son’s nighttime routine, which involves my husband or me reading his favorite book about construction vehicles over and over again. Now I understand that this routine has not only taught him about different types of trucks, but brought him the comfort and safety of knowing that once we’re done reading, he will fall asleep with his head resting on my shoulder. So, if you find yourself feeling annoyed at your child’s repeated jokes, games or stories, know that they are just hard at work practicing and mastering their newfound knowledge and skills, and building the architecture of their brains in the process. 8. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Obvious. B. Natural. C. Steady. D. Different. 9. How does repetition enable learning? A. By strengthening the neural connections. B. By activating the specific areas in the brain. C. By increasing the information processing speed. D. By forming permanent information-function bonds. 10. Why does the author’s son get comfort from the nighttime routine? A. He can stay together with his parents. B. He can learn about different trucks. C. He can predict the unfolding of things. D. He can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. 11. What should parents do with kids’ repetitive behaviors? A. Get annoyed and shout at the kids. B. Discuss their functions with the kids. C. Turn a blind eye to them. D. Appreciate their role in personal growth. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了重复行为在儿童发展中重要性。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“He watched it so often that my brain started to shut down when I heard the boring background music, but the little guy’s enthusiasm for the video was unwavering. (他看得太频繁了，当我听到无聊的背景音乐时，我的大脑开始停止运转，但这个小家伙对视频的热情是 )”可知，作者的儿子看关于农场机器的视频看得太频繁了，以至于当作者听到无聊的背景音乐时，她的大脑开始停止运转。句中的“but”表示转折，说明后面描述的作者儿子的感受是与作者截然不同的。综上可知，画线词所在部分应表示但是小家伙对那个视频的热情丝毫未减或者是持续的。画线词的含义应是“毫不动摇的，始终如一的”，steady的含义与之相似。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Learning requires building connections between neurons, and repetition enables that process. When a group of neurons need to work together to perform a specific function or process information, they must be activated repeatedly. The more often they are activated, the stronger their connections become, (学习需要在神经元之间建立联系，重复可以实现这一过程。当一组神经元需要共同工作以执行特定功能或处理信息时，它们必须被反复激活。它们被激活的频率越高，它们的联系就越强，)”可知，重复通过增强神经元之间的连接来促进学习。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Now I understand that this routine has not only taught him about different types of trucks, but brought him the comfort and safety of knowing that once we’re done reading, he will fall asleep with his head resting on my shoulder. (现在我明白了，这个程序不仅教会了他不同类型的卡车，而且让他感到舒适和安全，因为我们读完后，他会把头靠在我的肩膀上睡着。)”可知，作者的儿子在夜间例行活动中能够预测事情的发展，从而感到舒适。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So, if you find yourself feeling annoyed at your child’s repeated jokes, games or stories, know that they are just hard at work practicing and mastering their newfound knowledge and skills, and building the architecture of their brains in the process. (所以，如果你发现自己对孩子重复的笑话、游戏或故事感到恼火，要知道他们只是在努力练习和掌握他们新发现的知识和技能，并在这个过程中构建他们的大脑结构。)”可知，这种重复的形式对他们的成长是有助益的，家长要了解或重视这一点。故选D项。 D People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. “This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.” Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy. They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds. The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape. The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms. 12. Why are some animals fearful of human beings? A Human beings are the strongest. B. Human beings make them out of water. C. Human beings may have caused great damage. D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world. 13. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park? A. There are many lions there. B. There are 21 waterholes there. C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there. D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities. 14. Which animal responded to human voices least? A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The advantages of human voices to animals. B. The damaging impact of human presence. C. The significant ecological results of human voices. D. The impact and possible application of human voices. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究：野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.(但无论你是野生动物游客，还是偷猎者，或者其他什么人，你都会被视为同样的东西。人类的存在同样危险，不管你是什么类型的人)”可知，不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人，在野生动物眼里，你都是一样的——人类的存在对它们来说都是一样的危险，因此可以推断出，动物们曾经被人类伤害过，给它们带来过危险，所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world.(他们在距离南非大克鲁格国家公园21个水坑附近的动物通道10米远的树上安装了扬声器和摄像头，这里是世界上现存狮子数量最多的国家之一)”可知，南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一，即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.(他们发现，除了狮子之外，野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快，而且逃跑的速度也快40%)”可知，他们发现除了狮子之外，野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容“The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.(这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大生态结果的破坏性影响。即便如此，这些发现也可能带来积极的结果。人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场)”可知，这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果；同时，这些发现也可能带来积极的结果，人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场，即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的影响和可能的应用。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。 People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there. ___16___ When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste. Here are a few examples. Packaging keeps the meat fresh. We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy — the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year — often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution? ___17___ Case-ready packaging can lengthen that shelf life to up to 21 days. If the meat you bought isn’t going to be eaten within a few days, case-ready packaging is the better choice for the environment. ___18___ This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months. ___19___ Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself. Packaging Fixes Sticky Situations. ___20___ One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped (刮掉) clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers. A. Packaging protects milk. B. Using Tetra Pak packaging. C. But packaging isn’t always the enemy. D. We should pay attention to the rubbish produced by packaging. E. Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks. F. It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted. G. Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正确的包装可以有效减少浪费。 【16题详解】 空格前的句子“People hate packaging. And, yes, there’s a lot of bad and wasteful packaging out there.(人们讨厌包装。是的，有很多糟糕和浪费的包装。)”说因为浪费，人们讨厌包装。而空格后的句子“When it comes to protecting and dispensing (分发) food, the right package can greatly reduce waste.(在保护和分配食物时，正确的包装可以大大减少浪费。)”又说正确的包装可以大大减少浪费。由此可推知，观点发生了转变，故空处应该填转折句进行过渡。C项“But packaging isn’t always the enemy.(但包装并不总是环境的敌人)”填入空格处，符合文章行文逻辑。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据空格前的句子“We throw away a fifth of the beef we buy—the equivalent (等量) of 8 million cows each year—often because it goes bad before we cook it. The solution?(我们扔掉了我们购买的五分之一的牛肉——相当于每年800万头牛——通常是因为它们在我们烹饪之前就变质了。解决方案?)”可知，空格处的句子应该提到防止牛肉变质的解决方案。所以E项“Scientists have developed packaging that can keep refrigerated meat fresh for weeks.(科学家们已经开发出一种可以使冷藏肉类保持数周新鲜的包装。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“This dairy waste can be avoided with packaging technology such as Tetra Pak (利乐包装纸盒), which is commonly used in Europe and Asia to keep milk from spoiling, even without refrigeration. Recycled or not, Tetra Pak is a good environmental bet because it can lengthen the shelf life of milk up to nine months.(使用利乐包等包装技术可以避免这种乳制品浪费。利乐包在欧洲和亚洲通常用于防止牛奶变质，即使没有冷藏。无论回收与否，利乐包都是一个很好的环保选择，因为它可以将牛奶的保质期延长到9个月。)”可知，该部分主要是说利乐包对牛奶的保护作用。所以，A项“Packaging protects milk.(包装保护牛奶。)”填入空格处，可以作为该部分的主题句，符合语境。故填A项。 【19题详解】 根据空格后的句子“Once again, the environmental benefit of the food-protection technology outweighs the harmful impact of the packaging itself.(再一次，食品保护技术的环境效益超过了包装本身的有害影响。)”可知，空格处的句子应该表明食品保护技术的环境效益超过了包装本身有害影响的事实。所以，F项“It can reduce the need for refrigeration and the amount of milk that goes wasted.(它可以减少对冷藏的需求和浪费的牛奶量。)”填入空格处，符合语境。因为冷藏需要能量，而浪费牛奶也是对环境有害。故选F项。 【20题详解】 空格后的句子“One example of waste-reducing packaging is the concept project shown from designer Drew Stanley. He designed a peanut butter jar made of a soft material which can be turned inside out and scraped clean, avoiding sticky food sticking to your fingers.(设计师德鲁·斯坦利展示的概念项目就是减少废物包装的一个例子。他设计了一种用柔软材料制成的花生酱罐，可以翻转过来刮干净，避免粘稠的食物粘在手指上。)”提到了设计师Drew Stanley设计了一种新的方式来解决罐装食物的浪费，由此可推知，空格处应与罐装食品造成浪费有关。G项“Food left behind in jars and bottles makes up a surprising amount of waste.(留在罐子和瓶子里的食物造成了惊人的浪费)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a ___21___.

Each time I drove by, I would see a young boy at about age 15 and a large dog walking along the road. When cars would pass him on the other side, he made eye contact and waved with a toothy smile. I saw him almost every day, walking along the road and waving at cars. Amazing? On a rainy day, I saw him, along with his dog, sitting at the roadside. I stopped my car and got out to ask what had happened to him. “Nothing. I just want to take a break,” the boy responded. I then asked if he could need a ride. The young boy, Kevin, said, “I’m not really going anywhere, just walking, thank you anyway, sir.” I used to enjoy walking in the countryside myself, so I thought it wasn’t too odd. “In case of some emergency, or if you ever need a ride or help,” I told Kevin, “flag me down and I’ll do whatever I can.” Kevin thanked me and went on his way. Over the following days, each time we met, I would stop for a while and have a quick talk with Kevin, and his sweet dog Randy. One afternoon, I suddenly felt a voice inside my mind: “Go back home now!” There was still one hour for work. But I asked for an early leave and drove back faster than usual. Again, I saw Kevin walking along the road. But this time he didn’t have his usual smile and was pacing rather than walking. When he saw my car, he violently flagged me down. As I got closer, I could see he was crying. “What’s wrong, Kevin?” I asked. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “We were just walking but Randy somehow dropped,” Kevin said in tears. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Kevin sat in the back and kept talking to the dog. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“We were just walking but Randy somehow dropped,” Kevin said in tears. “Where is it now?” I asked. “Just at my house,” he answered. We quickly got into the car and drove to his house. It was a small old farmhouse. As we approached, I saw Randy just lying outside the doorway. We hurried to have a close look at it. “He’s still alive!” Kevin cried, “We need a vet!” We two quickly carried Randy into the car. As I drove to the animal hospital, Kevin sat in the back and kept talking to the dog. Luckily, Randy was saved in time. “Randy! You’ve come back to me!” Kevin said in a choked voice. Then he turned to me and said gratefully “If you hadn’t come earlier, Randy would have gone! Thank you very much...” Tears welled up in his eyes. “It’s nothing, Kevin.” I patted him on the shoulder. Just at that moment, I realized: There is always a whispered urging in our heart and mind to do something good. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在开车上下班的路上总是会看到一个小男孩带着他的狗兰迪散步，小男孩会和路过的车挥手和进行眼神交流，作者告诉小男孩如果有什么需要帮助的话，作者会帮忙，后来作者经常停下车来和小男孩聊一会儿，有一天下午，作者提前请假回家，看到小男孩没有了往日的笑容，在踱步，作者看到小男孩在哭。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我们只是在走路，但兰迪不知怎么地摔倒了，”凯文流着泪说。”可知，第一段可描写凯文带作者去查看兰迪的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我开车去动物医院的时候，凯文坐在后面，不停地和狗说话。”可知，第二段可描写兰迪得救，凯文感激和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开车——看见兰迪——查看——及时得救——凯文感激——哭——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开车前往：drive to/head for...in a car ②救：save/rescue ③涌出：well up/gush 情绪类 ①感激：gratefully/thankfully ②哭：tears well up/burst into laughter 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we approached, I saw Randy just lying outside the doorway.
