In handwritten Spanish, the label on its cover read “Family History”. I opened it to the first page and began to read. “I’m not sure what it is that I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for a number of years…” This was clearly Grandpa’s handwriting. In his basement in the suburbs outside of London I read on in silence. Within the first few pages of the notebook, Grandpa had recounted our family’s history. What I held in my hands was an oral history, consisting of diaries, letters, and newspaper cuttings from Grandpa’s own youth, a treasure of research. I didn’t tell Grandpa what I’d found in his basement until one day he happened to see me there, with his notebook open on the desk. My face reddened. “I’ve been looking at your writing. It’s very interesting.” Out of my expectation, he broke into a wide smile, and his eyes welled up with tears. Then he began to tell me the family story, explaining the parts I didn’t understand. As both a grandson and a journalist, I asked questions that brought color to these histories. Why did my great-grandfather leave Iraq in such a hurry in the early 1900s? Why did he work as a traveling salesman in the remote Andes Mountains? Answers to these questions brought me a sense of excitement, sort of like unlocking a new world. Recently, I was traveling the country to discuss a book I wrote about my search across Argentina for traces of my great-grandfather. What I’ve realized by talking with others is that time and energy remain our biggest barriers to hearing our families’ stories. They are the identities we create in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten. I feel lucky to have asked before it’s too late, before the keepers of the answers are gone. 4. What did the author find in his grandpa’s basement? A. A long lost history book. B. Hidden family treasures. C. Stories created by Grandpa. D. Records of family history. 5. How did Grandpa feel when he saw the author in the basement? A. Embarrassed and shy. B. Sad and then relieved. C. Emotional and pleased. D. Annoyed but then forgiving. 6. What may the finding have inspired the author to do? A. To become a better journalist. B. To investigate his family further. C. To do more international travel. D. To collect more dying folk stories. 7. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The barriers. B. People we talked with. C. The books we wrote. D. Our families’ stories. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在爷爷的地下室里发现了一个记录家族历史的笔记本，这激发了他探寻家族历史的热情。同时，他庆幸在此时去探寻家族历史，因为很多人还健在，历史不会湮灭。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In handwritten Spanish, the label on its cover read “Family History”(封面上的标签用手写西班牙语写着“家族历史”。)”可知，作者在爷爷的地下室里发现了家族历史的记录。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I didn’t tell Grandpa what I’d found in his basement until one day he happened to see me there, with his notebook open on the desk. My face reddened. “I’ve been looking at your writing. It’s very interesting.” Out of my expectation, he broke into a wide smile, and his eyes welled up with tears. Then he began to tell me the family story, explaining the parts I didn’t understand.(我没有告诉爷爷我在他地下室里发现了什么，直到有一天他碰巧看到我在那里，而他的笔记本正摊开在桌上。我的脸一下子红了。“我一直在看你的写作。非常有趣。”出乎我的意料，他露出了灿烂的笑容，眼里泛起了泪光。然后，他开始给我讲家族的故事，解释那些我不明白的部分。)”可知，当爷爷发现作者在悄悄阅读他记录家族历史的笔记本时，他并没有生气，而是露出了笑容，眼里噙满了泪水。由此可推知，爷爷当时应该是激动的和高兴的。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Recently, I was traveling the country to discuss a book I wrote about my search across Argentina for traces of my great-grandfather.(最近，我在全国各地旅行，讨论我写的一本书，书中记录了我在阿根廷寻找曾祖父踪迹的经历。)”可知，作者曾在阿根廷探寻他的曾祖父的生活轨迹。由此可推知，阅读爷爷的笔记本后，作者进一步探寻了他的家族历史。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“What I’ve realized by talking with others is that time and energy remain our biggest barriers to hearing our families’ stories.(通过与他人的交流，我意识到时间和精力仍是我们聆听家人故事的最大障碍。)”和划线词所在的句子“They are the identities we create in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten.(它们是我们在陌生又熟悉的世界中塑造的身份，此刻虽被铭记，却永远面临着被遗忘的风险。）”可知，They指代上一句中的our families’ stories。故选D。 C For thousands of years, people have changed food to please their sense of taste. More than 3, 000years ago Mesoamericans, living in what is Mexico and Central America today, cooked com kernels (玉米粒) in a solution of wood ash or limestone. The process unlocked nutrients and softened the tough outer shells of the corn, making it easier to chew. With the invention of canned goods in the 19th century, the industrial-scale transformation of food became possible. According to the UN, the average daily food supply available for a person in the rich world increased by over 20% between 1961 and 2021, to 3, 500 kilocalories. In that time, obesity rates have more than tripled; today, nearly one in three people globally is obese or overweight. Now worries are mounting that the heavy processing used to cook up cheap, tasty snacks may itself be harmful. A parțicular target is “ultra-processed foods” (UPFs), heavily processed foods like ice-cream or instant noodles. At the heart of the debate is a question: are UPFs unhealthy because their nutritional content is poor, or does the processing somehow pose risks in itself? At the turn of the 21st century some scientists noticed that people in Brazil were buying less sugar and oil than in the past. Yet rates of obesity were still rising. This unintentionally occurred with the growing popularity of packaged desserts and ready-made meals. By now numerous studies have shown that people who consume diets high in UPFs tend to have more health problems. But a recent analysis by Samuel Dicken and Rachel Batterham at University College London reviewed 37 studies and found that even after adjusting for fat, sugar and salt UPFs were still strongly linked to poor health. That suggests there is more to their harm than just a poor nutrient profile. Where those harms come from is still unclear, however. With so many influential causes that could also explain poor health — such as income and education — observational studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers. Arne Astrup, a Danish researcher, argues that evidently most of the studies that make statistical adjustments to try to isolate (分离) the effects of processing are “not good enough”. 8. Why did Mesoamericans process corn kernels? A. To ensure better consumption. B. To enable easy handling. C. To discover new solutions. D. To facilitate safe storage. 9. What do the data in paragraph 2 show? A. The history of food industry. B. The benefits of preserved food. C. The results of food mass production. D. The development of food processing. 10. What can be inferred about ultra-processed foods? A. Their popularity is in decline. B. Their presence changes Brazilians’ diet. C. Their nutrients can make up for their risks. D. Their processing methods arouse concerns. 11. Why do observational studies fail to determine the effects of UPFs? A. Many factors affect the results. B. The related statistics are inaccurate. C. The studies lack enough evidence. D. The causes of harm remain unknown. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。数千年来人类不断加工食物以满足口味需求，19 世纪食品工业化后，食物供应增加但肥胖率飙升。如今超加工食品因加工方式引发担忧，虽与健康问题相关，但其危害根源受多种因素干扰仍未明确 。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The process unlocked nutrients and softened the tough outer shells of the corn, making it easier to chew.(这个过程释放出营养物质，软化了玉米坚硬的外壳，使其更容易咀嚼。)”可知，中美洲人加工玉米粒是为了让其更易于食用。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“With the invention of canned goods in the 19th century, the industrial-scale transformation of food became possible. According to the UN, the average daily food supply available for a person in the rich world increased by over 20% between 1961 and 2021, to 3,500 kilocalories. In that time, obesity rates have more than tripled; today, nearly one in three people globally is obese or overweight.(19 世纪罐头食品的发明使食品的工业规模转型成为可能。据联合国统计，1961 年至 2021 年间，富裕国家人均每日可获得的食物供应量增加了20% 以上，达到3500千卡。在这段时间里，肥胖率增加了两倍多；如今，全球近三分之一的人肥胖或超重。)”可知，这些数据展示了食品大规模生产带来的结果，包括食物供应增加以及肥胖率上升等情况。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Now worries are mounting that the heavy processing used to cook up cheap, tasty snacks may itself be harmful. A particular target is ‘ultra - processed foods’(UPFs), heavily processed foods like ice-cream or instant noodles.(现在，人们越来越担心，用于制作廉价美味零食的深加工本身可能有害。一个特别的目标是‘超加工食品’（UPFs），像冰淇淋或方便面这样的深加工食品。)”可知，超加工食品的加工方式引发了担忧。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“With so many influential causes that could also explain poor health — such as income and education — observational studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers.(有这么多有影响力的原因也可以解释健康状况不佳——比如收入和教育——单靠观察性研究无法提供结论性的答案。)”可知，许多因素会影响结果，所以仅仅是观察性研究无法确定超加工食品的影响。故选A项。 D A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research. The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 13. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 14. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C. Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D. An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了古老火砖技术如何通过储存热能，帮助实现工业过程的可再生能源使用，从而助力全球净零排放目标的实现。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage.(这项技术涉及在隔热容器中安装吸热砖，这些砖可以储存由太阳能或风能产生的热量，以便在工业过程中后续使用。当需要时，可以通过在“耐火砖”堆中的通道通过空气来释放热量，从而使水泥、钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂能够在没有风和阳光的情况下依然依靠可再生能源运行。这些系统是热能存储的一种形式)”可知，本段详细说明了耐火砖储能技术是将吸热砖组装在隔热容器中，用来储存太阳能或风能产生的热量以便之后使用等内容，即这项技术的工作原理。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University.(“耐火砖存储与电池存储的区别在于，耐火砖储存的是热量而不是电力，并且其成本仅为电池的十分之一，”该研究的主要作者、斯坦福大学的教授马克·雅各布森说道)”可知，耐火砖储能与电池储能的差异在于耐火砖储存热量而非电力，且成本是电池的十分之一。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.(研究人员发现，使用耐火砖的场景可以在这149个国家中削减1.27万亿美元的成本，同时减少对电能的需求以及来自电池的储能容量需求)”可知，研究者用模型对比两种未来可再生能源场景，涉及耐火砖在其中的作用及优势，故推知，采用计算机模型是为了探索耐火砖的有效性。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.(根据最近由斯坦福大学主导的研究，一种可以追溯到青铜时代的科技可能提供了一种快速且成本低廉的方法来帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种可追溯到青铜时代的耐火砖储能技术，该技术有助于实现联合国净零排放目标，即能够助力向清洁能源的转变。因此，选项D“一项古老的技术可以帮助转向清洁能源”作为标题最为合适。故选D项。 第二节 七选五 (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。 Love is a powerful emotion that makes the world go round.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】bleeding 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：被发现时昏迷且流血不止的男孩被紧急送往医院。“流血”应该用动词bleed表示；根据句中的found可知，空格处作补足语，the boy与动词bleed之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作补足语。故填bleeding。 52.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】facilitates 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：观众的存在有助于你的表演，这是公认的。“促进，使便利”是facilitate，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语presence是抽象名词，因此动词用第三人称单数，故填facilitates。 55.

It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon. The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense. “I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals. “I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well. The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind. I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it. I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. After all, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I prepared a warm and cozy corner in my room for it. Soft rags were carefully lined there, creating a comfortable nest. I talked to it softly, sharing stories of my other pets and the adventures we had together. I even played some gentle music, thinking it might soothe the bird. Gradually, the pigeon began to relax a bit, starting to peck at the grains and take small bites. It was a small step, but it gave me hope that it was beginning to trust me. As night fell and deepened, I took one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep. The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. The sound was a delightful surprise, a sign that the bird was feeling more at ease. As we gathered in my room, the pigeon slightly spread its wings as if testing the air. It seemed to have regained some of its energy overnight. I placed a few more grains on the floor, and this time, the pigeon approached the food directly, suggesting that it was slowly regaining its trust in the world around it. Seeing this, my parents and I exchanged smiles with each other. By the afternoon, the pigeon had made its way to the window. With a sudden burst of energy, the pigeon spread its wings and flew away, leaving us with a heartwarming memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在停车场捡到了一只鸽子，带回了家，但是鸽子不吃不喝，让作者很担心。作者没有放弃，而是给鸽子准备了舒适的环境，鸽子也逐渐接受了，开始逐渐恢复。最后鸽子展开翅膀飞走了，给作者他们留下了温馨的回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所以，放弃这只鸽子感觉不对”可知，第一段可描写作者为鸽子准备舒适的环境，鸽子逐渐放松。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，我和父母都被鸽子欢快的叫声吵醒了”可知，第二段可描写鸽子适应了环境，最终飞走的经过。 2.续写线索：不愿意放弃——改善环境——鸽子放松——鸽子适应——鸽子飞走——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：think/assume ②睡着：drift off to sleep/fall asleep ③聚集：gather/assemble 情绪类 ①令人高兴的：delightful/enjoyable ②感人：heartwarming/moving 【点睛】[高分句型1] As night fell and deepened, I took one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep.

Yellowing paper and black-and-white photographs spilled out of its sides. In handwritten Spanish, the label on its cover read “Family History”. I opened it to the first page and began to read. “I’m not sure what it is that I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for a number of years…” This was clearly Grandpa’s handwriting. In his basement in the suburbs outside of London I read on in silence. Within the first few pages of the notebook, Grandpa had recounted our family’s history. What I held in my hands was an oral history, consisting of diaries, letters, and newspaper cuttings from Grandpa’s own youth, a treasure of research. I didn’t tell Grandpa what I’d found in his basement until one day he happened to see me there, with his notebook open on the desk. My face reddened. “I’ve been looking at your writing. It’s very interesting.” Out of my expectation, he broke into a wide smile, and his eyes welled up with tears. Then he began to tell me the family story, explaining the parts I didn’t understand. As both a grandson and a journalist, I asked questions that brought color to these histories. Why did my great-grandfather leave Iraq in such a hurry in the early 1900s? Why did he work as a traveling salesman in the remote Andes Mountains? Answers to these questions brought me a sense of excitement, sort of like unlocking a new world. Recently, I was traveling the country to discuss a book I wrote about my search across Argentina for traces of my great-grandfather. What I’ve realized by talking with others is that time and energy remain our biggest barriers to hearing our families’ stories. They are the identities we create in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten. I feel lucky to have asked before it’s too late, before the keepers of the answers are gone. 4. What did the author find in his grandpa’s basement? A. A long lost history book. B. Hidden family treasures. C. Stories created by Grandpa. D. Records of family history. 5. How did Grandpa feel when he saw the author in the basement? A. Embarrassed and shy. B. Sad and then relieved. C. Emotional and pleased. D. Annoyed but then forgiving. 6. What may the finding have inspired the author to do? A. To become a better journalist. B. To investigate his family further. C. To do more international travel. D. To collect more dying folk stories. 7. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The barriers. B. People we talked with. C. The books we wrote. D. Our families’ stories. C For thousands of years, people have changed food to please their sense of taste. More than 3, 000years ago Mesoamericans, living in what is Mexico and Central America today, cooked com kernels (玉米粒) in a solution of wood ash or limestone. The process unlocked nutrients and softened the tough outer shells of the corn, making it easier to chew. With the invention of canned goods in the 19th century, the industrial-scale transformation of food became possible. According to the UN, the average daily food supply available for a person in the rich world increased by over 20% between 1961 and 2021, to 3, 500 kilocalories. In that time, obesity rates have more than tripled; today, nearly one in three people globally is obese or overweight. Now worries are mounting that the heavy processing used to cook up cheap, tasty snacks may itself be harmful. A parțicular target is “ultra-processed foods” (UPFs), heavily processed foods like ice-cream or instant noodles. At the heart of the debate is a question: are UPFs unhealthy because their nutritional content is poor, or does the processing somehow pose risks in itself? At the turn of the 21st century some scientists noticed that people in Brazil were buying less sugar and oil than in the past. Yet rates of obesity were still rising. This unintentionally occurred with the growing popularity of packaged desserts and ready-made meals. By now numerous studies have shown that people who consume diets high in UPFs tend to have more health problems. But a recent analysis by Samuel Dicken and Rachel Batterham at University College London reviewed 37 studies and found that even after adjusting for fat, sugar and salt UPFs were still strongly linked to poor health. That suggests there is more to their harm than just a poor nutrient profile. Where those harms come from is still unclear, however. With so many influential causes that could also explain poor health — such as income and education — observational studies alone cannot offer conclusive answers. Arne Astrup, a Danish researcher, argues that evidently most of the studies that make statistical adjustments to try to isolate (分离) the effects of processing are “not good enough”. 8. Why did Mesoamericans process corn kernels? A. To ensure better consumption. B. To enable easy handling. C. To discover new solutions. D. To facilitate safe storage. 9. What do the data in paragraph 2 show? A. The history of food industry. B. The benefits of preserved food. C. The results of food mass production. D. The development of food processing. 10. What can be inferred about ultra-processed foods? A. Their popularity is in decline. B. Their presence changes Brazilians’ diet. C. Their nutrients can make up for their risks. D. Their processing methods arouse concerns. 11. Why do observational studies fail to determine the effects of UPFs? A. Many factors affect the results. B. The related statistics are inaccurate. C. The studies lack enough evidence. D. The causes of harm remain unknown. D A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research. The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 13. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 14. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C. Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D. An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. 第二节 七选五 (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。 Love is a powerful emotion that makes the world go round.

It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon. The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense. “I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals. “I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well. The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind. I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it. I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
