Ever since I started my calligraphy business two years ago, I’ve never spent a day without going on social media, especially a kind of social app on my phone, on which I promoted my products and services and got in contact with possible customers. Later I found it got in the way of more important things. I hate to say I was hooked by it, but I was. Every time I turned on my phone, I would dive into it. For a long time, I had been ignoring other parts of my life, like my family, my friends and my happiness. One day, I was thinking that a break should have happened long before to me. Then I decided to remove the app off my phone for a month and only use that on my computer to keep track of my business. I wanted a clean break to reflect and plan for the future. I had believed that if I spent less time on the platform, I would miss out much. Actually, I was so wrong. During this month off, I became aware that there was much to enjoy in life. I found more time to enjoy my hobbies and contacted my good friends that I had lost touch with. I was refilled with energy in all aspects of my life. This one month off the app on the phone was healthy for me. If it were not for my business, I would like not to have it on my phone. I downloaded the app again on my phone, but only used it to post my own content. I didn’t intend to paint social media in a negative light, but now I just don’t think the way I was using it was healthy. It’s difficult to find balance, but I’m going to try to do it anyway. I’m going back, but it’s going to be different. 4. What did the author mainly do on social media in the beginning? A. He connected with his friends. B. He worked on business activities. C. He learned calligraphy on his own. D. He shared advice about keeping fit. 5. What do the underlined words “hooked by” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Concerned about. B. familiar with. C. Addicted to. D. Frightened by. 6. What did the author learn after removing the social app from his cellphone? A. It was meaningless to share on social media. B. There was lots of fun away from social media. C. The social app contributed little to his business. D. The social app in the computer was more practical. 7. Why does the author decide to go back to social media? A. One month away from social media upsets him. B. He wants to seek more hobbies on social media. C. He has confidence in balancing social media and life. D. His friends ask him to communicate on social media. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者利用社交媒体从事商业活动，但是作者对手机上瘾了，忽视了生活中的其他方面，于是作者决定删除社交应用程序，之后作者感觉很好。为了生意作者又不得不重新下载一些应用程序，但是作者有信心会平衡好社交媒体和生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ever since I started my calligraphy business two years ago, I’ve never spent a day without going on social media, especially a kind of social app on my phone, on which I promoted my products and services and got in contact with possible customers.(自从我两年前开始我的书法生意以来，我从来没有一天不使用社交媒体，特别是我手机上的一种社交应用程序，我通过它推销我的产品和服务，并与潜在客户取得联系)”可知，一开始作者主要在社交媒体上从事商业活动。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“Every time I turned on my phone, I would dive into it. For a long time, I had been I ignoring other parts of my life, like my family, my friends and my happiness.(每次我打开手机，就会一头扎进去。很长一段时间，我忽视了生活中的其他方面，比如我的家庭，我的朋友和我的幸福)”可推知，作者沉迷于手机，即上瘾了，由此可知，画线短语hooked by与C项“Addicted to.(上瘾了)”同义，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“During this month off, I realized there was much to enjoy in life. I found more time to enjoy my hobbies and contacted my good friends that I had lost touch with, I was refilled with energy in all aspects of my life.( 在这个月的休息期间，我意识到生活中有很多值得享受的东西。我找到了更多的时间来享受我的爱好，并联系我之前失去联系的好朋友，我生活的各个方面重新充满了能量)”可知，作者从他的手机上删除了社交应用程序后，意识到社交媒体之外还有很多乐趣。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If it were not for my business, I would like not to have it on my phone. I downloaded the app again on my phone, but only used it to post my own content.(如果不是为了我的生意，我不想把它安装在我的手机里。我再次在手机上下载了这个应用程序，但只用它来发布我自己的内容)”和 “It’s difficult to find balance, but I’m going to try to do it anyway. I’m going back, but it’s going to be different.(很难找到平衡，但我还是要试着去做。我要重新使用社交软件，但一切将会不同)”可推知，作者决定重新使用社交媒体，因为他有信心平衡社交媒体和生活。故选C。 C An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife. A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay. The group turned to the local non-profit Arctic Eider Society (AES) to develop a web-based platform (平台). Over the years, SIKU has developed, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was reintroduced as a full-fledged (全面发展的) social network — a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions and more. The posts tell stories of hunting and traveling; the impacts of climate change and industrial activity; and the traditions, diets and illnesses of local animals. Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions. In 2021, for example, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer (驯鹿) population had reduced, so the Hunters and Trappers Association used SIKU to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The information led the association to close the hunt for a short time to reduce pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly when the number of reindeer increased. Traditionally, Inuit communities shared this information orally (口头上地). “We have lived in the environment for centuries and know about the wildlife. Now armed with SIKU, information is documented in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it’s part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research,” says Lucassie Arragutainaq, a co-founder of AES. 8. What was the purpose of developing SIKU in the beginning? A. To raise money for AES. B. To pass on Inuit tradition. C. To attract more visitors to Inuit communities. D. To record and learn about the changing sea ice. 9. Why is reindeer mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To further prove the role of SIKU. B. To advise people to pay more attention to SIKU. C. To call on visitors and locals to protect reindeer. D. To tell the benefits of the Hunters and Trappers Association. 10. What is the attitude of Lucassie Arragutainaq toward SIKU? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Puzzled. D. Supportive. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. SIKU: Overcoming Environmental Challenges B. SIKU: Informing Decision Of Local Communities C. SIKU: Joining Traditional Wisdom To Modern Technology D. SIKU: Advantages Over Other Local Social Media Platforms 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项由因纽特人开发的应用程序SIKU。它帮助当地社区整合传统知识和科学数据，追踪环境变化，并作出管理野生动物的决策。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay.(十多年前，一群来自努纳武特地区萨尼基卢阿的因纽特老人和猎人想出了建立SIKU的想法，以记录和了解他们在哈德逊湾东南部看到的海冰变化。)”可知，起初，一群因纽特老人和猎人为了记录和了解他们在哈德逊湾东南部所看到的海冰变化而提出和开发了SIKU。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读第四段内容可知，该段的中心主旨句为首句“Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions.(因纽特人社区已经在使用该应用程序为重要决策提供信息。)”，因此可推知，该段提到驯鹿的案例是为了进行事实举例论证，说明社区已经在使用这款应用程序为重要决策提供信息，即进一步证明SIKU所起的作用。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Lucassie Arragutainaq所说的话“Now armed with SIKU, information is documented in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it’s part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research(现在有了SIKU，信息以其他人能够理解的方式被记录下来。SIKU的优势在于它部分是科学知识，部分是因纽特人的知识，它支持社区驱动的研究)”可知，Lucassie Arragutainaq认为在SIKU的帮助下，信息以一种其他人能理解的方式记录下来，可以实现科学知识和因纽特人的知识相互结合，以支持社区驱动的研究。由此推知，Lucassie Arragutainaq对SIKU持支持的态度。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章首段内容“An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife.(一款因纽特人开发的应用程序，以因纽特人的‘海冰’的名字命名为SIKU，允许从阿拉斯加到格陵兰岛的当地社区将传统知识与科学数据联系起来，以跟踪环境变化，并就如何管理野生动物做出决定。)”介绍了文章的主要内容，即，一款名为SIKU的应用程序，帮助当地社区整合传统知识和科学数据，追踪环境变化，同时作出管理野生动物的决策。选项C“SIKU: Joining Traditional Wisdom To Modern Technology(SIKU：将传统智慧与现代技术相结合)”高度概括了文章内容，最适合作本文标题。故选C项。 D Male mosquitoes may be nearly as blood-thirsty as females under certain conditions, new research suggests. Male mosquitoes, which are normally disinterested in blood, will take blood meals when they are dehydrated (脱水), the scientist Jason Rasgon of Penn State and his colleagues report in a paper. The finding overturns the idea that only female mosquitoes bite, drink blood and spread diseases. Males may not be totally harmless. A student in Rasgon’s lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane (人工膜) when researchers took away water. Rasgon wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person, so he stuck his hand in cages containing male mosquitoes. Hydrated males mostly ignored him, but dehydrated males would land and examine his skin. One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin. “I was shocked,” says Rasgon. Male mosquitoes’ long, tubelike mouth parts aren’t able to bite skin deeply enough to draw blood. But a wound caused by Rasgon’s cat allowed him to test whether males could get blood another way. Sure enough, a dehydrated male mosquito drank blood from the open wound. In another experiment, male mosquitoes that were genetically engineered to be unable to sense wetness didn’t take blood meals more often when lacking water. Those findings suggest that males may go for blood to satisfy their thirst. One earlier research paper showed that blood was harmful to male mosquitoes. Scientists thought all male mosquitoes didn’t have the ability to break down blood. But in Rasgon’s experiment, male mosquitoes fed only blood lived as long as those that didn’t get blood, and even a little bit longer. 12. What is discovered in Rasgon’s research according to Paragraph 1? A. That female mosquitoes may be harmful. B. That only female mosquitoes drink blood. C. That male mosquitoes may bite and drink blood. D. That male mosquitoes are disinterested in blood. 13. How did Rasgon carry out his research? A. By taking away water. B. By experimenting on himself. C. By placing his cat in the cage. D. By creating a thin artificial membrane. 14. What didn’t Rasgon expect in his research? A. Male mosquitoes would be able to bite deeply into human skin. B. Male mosquitoes would try to drink human blood when dehydrated. C. Female mosquitoes would become interested in blood when hydrated. D. Female mosquitoes would prefer water over blood meals when dehydrated. 15. What did one earlier research paper show? A. Blood would bring harm to male mosquitoes. B. Blood would make mosquitoes more harmful. C. Male mosquitoes were able to break down blood. D. Male mosquitoes fed blood would live as long or longer. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Jason Rasgon和他的同事研究发现，通常对血液不感兴趣的雄性蚊子在脱水时会吸食血液。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Male mosquitoes may be nearly as blood-thirsty as females under certain conditions, new research suggests. Male mosquitoes, which are normally disinterested in blood, will take blood meals when they are dehydrated (脱水), the scientist Jason Rasgon of Penn State and his colleagues report in a paper. The finding overturns the idea that only female mosquitoes bite, drink blood and spread diseases. Males may not be totally harmless.(新的研究表明，在某些条件下，雄性蚊子可能和雌性蚊子一样嗜血。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的科学家Jason Rasgon和他的同事在一篇论文中报告说，通常对血液不感兴趣的雄性蚊子在脱水时会吸食血液。这一发现推翻了只有雌蚊叮咬、吸血和传播疾病的观点。雄性可能不是完全无害的。)”可知，Rasgon的研究发现雄蚊也可能咬人吸血。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A student in Rasgon’s lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane (人工膜) when researchers took away water. Rasgon wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person, so he stuck his hand in cages containing male mosquitoes. Hydrated males mostly ignored him, but dehydrated males would land and examine his skin. One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin. “I was shocked,” says Rasgon.(Rasgon实验室的一名学生注意到，当研究人员取走水时，雄性蚊子有时会以用人造薄膜覆盖的托盘里的血液为食。Rasgon想知道口渴的雄蚊是否会试图从人身上吸血，所以他把手伸进装有雄蚊的笼子里。水分充足的雄性大多不理会他，但脱水的雄性会降落并检查他的皮肤。有一只甚至咬了他一口，但几乎没有咬到他的第一层皮肤。‘我很震惊，’Rasgon说。)”可知，Rasgon是通过在自己身上做实验进行他的研究的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A student in Rasgon’s lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane (人工膜) when researchers took away water. Rasgon wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person, so he stuck his hand in cages containing male mosquitoes. Hydrated males mostly ignored him, but dehydrated males would land and examine his skin. One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin. “I was shocked,” says Rasgon.(Rasgon实验室的一名学生注意到，当研究人员取走水时，雄性蚊子有时会以用人造薄膜覆盖的托盘里的血液为食。Rasgon想知道口渴的雄蚊是否会试图从人身上吸血，所以他把手伸进装有雄蚊的笼子里。水分充足的雄性大多不理会他，但脱水的雄性会降落并检查他的皮肤。有一只甚至咬了他一口，但几乎没有咬到他的第一层皮肤。‘我很震惊，’Rasgon说。)”可知，Rasgon在研究中没有预料到的是雄性蚊子在脱水时会尝试喝人血。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“One earlier research paper showed that blood was harmful to male mosquitoes.(早些时候的一篇研究论文表明，血液对雄性蚊子有害。)”可知，早期的一篇研究论文表明血液会给雄蚊带来伤害。故选A项。 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。 We’ve all been there.

However 39. which 40. a 41. natural 42. Similarly 43. are described 44. increasing 45. broader 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是蛇在中国和西方文化中形象的差异及其背后的文化意义。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：在中国文化中，蛇是十二生肖之一，它经常与智慧和神秘联系在一起。此处为固定搭配be related to，表示“与……有关”符合句意，所以此处使用介词to。故填to。 【37题详解】 考查代词。句意：在一些中国传说中，蛇能够变成具有神奇力量的人形。此处为动词change的宾语，由于主语（snakes）和宾语指代同一对象，即“蛇”，所以此处使用反身代词themselves表示蛇自身的变化。故填themselves。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在西方文化中，蛇通常有一个负面的形象。此处为副词作状语，结合句意，空后内容与上文的内容为转折关系，有逗号隔开，所以此处使用副词however，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填However。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在圣经中，蛇诱惑夏娃吃下了禁果，这导致了人类的堕落。此处为关系词引导的非限定性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容，指的是事情，所以此处使用关系代词which。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：因此，蛇常被视为邪恶的象征。symbol为可数名词单数，其前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一种邪恶的象征”符合句意，所以此处应使用不定冠词表示泛指，symbol的首个音素为辅音。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在这两种文化中，由于蛇能够在各种环境中生存的独特能力，它们经常与自然力联系在一起。这里需要用形容词作定语修饰名词forces，nature的形容词为natural意为“自然的”符合句意。故填natural。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：类似地，在西方民间传说中，蛇被描述为可以与自然界精灵交流的生物。此处需要用副词作状语修饰整个句子，similar的副词为similarly意为“类似地”符合句意，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Similarly。 【43题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：类似地，在西方民间传说中，蛇被描述为可以与自然界精灵交流的生物。此处为句子的谓语，根据上文的谓语动词are used以及reflects可知，此处使用一般现在时，describe与主语snakes之间为被动关系，所以此处使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为名词复数。故填are described。 【44题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：在现代，随着东西方文化交流的日益增加，人们开始对不同文化中的蛇的形象有了更广泛的理解。此处为非谓语动词作前置定语修饰名词“cultural exchange”，结合句意，此处表示“正在增加的文化交流”，所以使用现在分词形式。故填increasing。 【45题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：同上。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词understanding，结合句意，此处表示的是中西方文化日益增加前后的比较，所以此处使用broad的比较级形式broader，表示一种“更加广泛的”理解。故填broader。 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校将于下周举办一个主题为“Science Changes Our Lives”的科技节（Science Festival）活动，请你给留学生朋友Tom写一封邮件，邀请他参加。 内容包括：1. 发出邀请；2. 活动介绍；3. 期待参加。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Tom, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, How is everything going?

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this final and key point, Jatin struggled to jump to his feet and ran as fast as he could, though it was so painful for him. Eventually, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jatin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest. Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Neha, see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. “Thank you! Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jatin和他的妹妹Neha和他们的父母住在一个贫穷的社区。一天，Jatin把Neha的鞋子带到一个鞋匠那里修理，但是他在回家的路上把鞋子弄丢了。他担心他的父母会生气和失望。所以他求妹妹保守秘密。城市将为男孩们举行一场长跑比赛。当Jatin得知三等奖是一双新鞋时，他决定参加。当比赛终点线临近时，另一名选手从后面与Jatin相撞，Jatin摔倒在地，但最终获得鞋子的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jatin抬起头来，看见其他男孩都冲在前面。”可知，第一段可描写Jatin尽可能快地跑，并且最终获得鞋子。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jatin满心欢喜，很快就走回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Jatin拿着获得的新鞋子回家给妹妹。 2.续写线索：拒绝放弃——尽可能快地跑——冲过终点线——获得第三名——赢得鞋子——满心欢喜地回家——与妹妹分享消息——拿出鞋子给妹妹——兄妹相拥 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/ reject/ turn down ②抽泣：sob/ cry/ weep ③拥抱：hug/ embrace 情绪类 ①痛苦的：painful/ miserable ②非常高兴的：overjoyed/ delighted ③高兴：joy/ delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Refusing to give up at this final and key point, Jatin struggled to jump to his feet and ran as fast as he could, though it was so painful for him.（运用了现在分词作状语和though引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型2] But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize.（运用了省略了引导词that的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句以及because引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 荆州中学2024-2025学年高一下学期2月月考 英 语 试 题 （全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟） 第一部分 听力 (共两节；满分30分) 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Ever since I started my calligraphy business two years ago, I’ve never spent a day without going on social media, especially a kind of social app on my phone, on which I promoted my products and services and got in contact with possible customers. Later I found it got in the way of more important things. I hate to say I was hooked by it, but I was. Every time I turned on my phone, I would dive into it. For a long time, I had been ignoring other parts of my life, like my family, my friends and my happiness. One day, I was thinking that a break should have happened long before to me. Then I decided to remove the app off my phone for a month and only use that on my computer to keep track of my business. I wanted a clean break to reflect and plan for the future. I had believed that if I spent less time on the platform, I would miss out much. Actually, I was so wrong. During this month off, I became aware that there was much to enjoy in life. I found more time to enjoy my hobbies and contacted my good friends that I had lost touch with. I was refilled with energy in all aspects of my life. This one month off the app on the phone was healthy for me. If it were not for my business, I would like not to have it on my phone. I downloaded the app again on my phone, but only used it to post my own content. I didn’t intend to paint social media in a negative light, but now I just don’t think the way I was using it was healthy. It’s difficult to find balance, but I’m going to try to do it anyway. I’m going back, but it’s going to be different. 4. What did the author mainly do on social media in the beginning? A. He connected with his friends. B. He worked on business activities. C. He learned calligraphy on his own. D. He shared advice about keeping fit. 5. What do the underlined words “hooked by” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Concerned about. B. familiar with. C. Addicted to. D. Frightened by. 6. What did the author learn after removing the social app from his cellphone? A. It was meaningless to share on social media. B. There was lots of fun away from social media. C. The social app contributed little to his business. D. The social app in the computer was more practical. 7. Why does the author decide to go back to social media? A. One month away from social media upsets him. B. He wants to seek more hobbies on social media. C. He has confidence in balancing social media and life. D. His friends ask him to communicate on social media. C An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife. A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay. The group turned to the local non-profit Arctic Eider Society (AES) to develop a web-based platform (平台). Over the years, SIKU has developed, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was reintroduced as a full-fledged (全面发展的) social network — a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions and more. The posts tell stories of hunting and traveling; the impacts of climate change and industrial activity; and the traditions, diets and illnesses of local animals. Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions. In 2021, for example, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer (驯鹿) population had reduced, so the Hunters and Trappers Association used SIKU to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The information led the association to close the hunt for a short time to reduce pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly when the number of reindeer increased. Traditionally, Inuit communities shared this information orally (口头上地). “We have lived in the environment for centuries and know about the wildlife.

Male mosquitoes, which are normally disinterested in blood, will take blood meals when they are dehydrated (脱水), the scientist Jason Rasgon of Penn State and his colleagues report in a paper. The finding overturns the idea that only female mosquitoes bite, drink blood and spread diseases. Males may not be totally harmless. A student in Rasgon’s lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane (人工膜) when researchers took away water. Rasgon wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person, so he stuck his hand in cages containing male mosquitoes. Hydrated males mostly ignored him, but dehydrated males would land and examine his skin. One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin. “I was shocked,” says Rasgon. Male mosquitoes’ long, tubelike mouth parts aren’t able to bite skin deeply enough to draw blood. But a wound caused by Rasgon’s cat allowed him to test whether males could get blood another way. Sure enough, a dehydrated male mosquito drank blood from the open wound. In another experiment, male mosquitoes that were genetically engineered to be unable to sense wetness didn’t take blood meals more often when lacking water. Those findings suggest that males may go for blood to satisfy their thirst. One earlier research paper showed that blood was harmful to male mosquitoes. Scientists thought all male mosquitoes didn’t have the ability to break down blood. But in Rasgon’s experiment male mosquitoes fed only blood lived as long as those that didn’t get blood, and even a little bit longer. 12. What is discovered in Rasgon’s research according to Paragraph 1? A. That female mosquitoes may be harmful. B. That only female mosquitoes drink blood. C. That male mosquitoes may bite and drink blood. D. That male mosquitoes are disinterested in blood. 13. How did Rasgon carry out his research? A. By taking away water. B. By experimenting on himself. C. By placing his cat in the cage. D. By creating a thin artificial membrane. 14. What didn’t Rasgon expect in his research? A. Male mosquitoes would be able to bite deeply into human skin. B. Male mosquitoes would try to drink human blood when dehydrated. C. Female mosquitoes would become interested in blood when hydrated. D. Female mosquitoes would prefer water over blood meals when dehydrated. 15. What did one earlier research paper show? A. Blood would bring harm to male mosquitoes. B. Blood would make mosquitoes more harmful. C. Male mosquitoes were able to break down blood. D. Male mosquitoes fed blood would live as long or longer. 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。 We’ve all been there.

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
