Mom was born in England on October 16th, 1961. She returned there, aged 16, to begin nursing training, which she said was the only thing she ever wanted to do. My grandmother always said that, even as a small child, she spent most of her time forcing her two brothers to play “patient” in her “hospital”, and in her school reports, teachers always commented on how caring and capable she was. She passed her training with excellent performance and started her career as a registered nurse. She married my dad, Eric, in 1981. I arrived soon after, followed by twins John and Michael, our sister Belinda, and finally, George. As a mother, she was endlessly kind and a huge amount of fun! And she hasn’t changed. Now that she’s retired, she enjoys traveling, playing with her three granddaughters, and has even taken up flying lessons! 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Best Citywalk Trails in Hong Kong As a coastal city built on reclaimed land, Hong Kong possesses various distinctive citywalk trails. Lantau Trail This 4.5km trail is rated as a challenging route requiring an average of 2h 32min to complete. During the trial, you will be able to reach the highest mountain — Lantau Peak. It’s recommended to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sturdy (结实的) footwear, and set off early in good weather. Ngong Ping Village Trail This 1.9km route takes an average of 30min to complete, which accounts for its easy rating. Ngong Ping Village has the largest Buddhism statues of its kind in the world. But you don’t need to be a Buddhist to enjoy a morning at the Tian Tan Buddha. It’s best to start off in the morning, but avoid a foggy or cloudy day. Sha Tin Trail It takes about 1h 47min to finish this moderately challenging 6.6km route: This trail features Hong Kong’s most unusual temple, the largest museum, and best shopping malls. Sha Tin may be considered “off the beaten track” for many visitors but for those with more than a short 3 or 4 days stay in HK, it can prove to be a very rewarding day trip. Cheung Chau Trail As a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3h 8min to complete 11.7km. Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The scenic ferry journey is one of the highlights of visiting this island. 21．Which trail takes the shortest time? A．Cheung Chau Trail. B．Ngong Ping Village Trail. C．Sha Tin Trail. D．Lantau Trail. 22．What do Ngong Ping Village Trail and Sha Tin Trail have in common? A．They are physically demanding. B．They are for experienced walkers. C．They have a religious atmosphere. D．They include guided tours for visitors. 23．What can you experience during the Cheung Chau Trail? A．Appreciate fishery scenery. B．Buy meaningful souvenirs. C．Visit local museums. D．Enjoy peak scenery. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了香港的四条各具特色的城市漫游路线。 21．细节理解题。根据“Lantau Trail”部分关键句“... requiring an average of 2h 32min to complete. (...平均需要2小时32分钟才能完成。)”可知，Lantau Trail平均用时2小时32分钟；根据“Ngong Ping Village Trail”部分关键句“This 1.9km route takes an average of 30min to complete... (这条1.9公里的路线平均需要30分钟才能完成。)”可知，Ngong Ping Village Trail平均用时30分钟；根据“Sha Tin Trail”部分关键句“It takes about 1h 47min to finish this moderately challenging 6.6km route. (完成这条中等难度的6.6公里路线大约需要1小时47分钟。)”可知，Sha Tin Trail用时1小时47分钟；根据“Cheung Chau Trail”部分关键句“... it takes an average of 3h 8min to complete 11.7km. (...完成11.7公里平均需要3小时8分钟。)”可知，Cheung Chau Trail平均用时3小时8分钟。综上所述，Ngong Ping Village Trail用时最短。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据“Ngong Ping Village Trail”部分关键句“Ngong Ping Village has the largest Buddhism statues of its kind in the world. (昂坪村拥有世界上最大的佛教雕像。)”以及“Sha Tin Trail”部分关键句“This trail features Hong Kong’s most unusual temple, the largest museum, and best shopping malls. (这条路径以香港最不寻常的寺庙、最大的博物馆和最好的购物中心为特色。)”可知，两者的共同点在于它们都有宗教气氛。故选C项。 23．细节理解题。根据“Cheung Chau Trail”部分关键句“Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The scenic ferry journey is one of the highlights of visiting this island. (长洲几个世纪以来一直是主要的渔港，至今仍拥有庞大的捕鱼船队。风景优美的渡轮之旅是游览这个岛屿的亮点之一。)”可知，在这里我们可以欣赏渔业风光。故选A项。 B For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies. The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of the trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out until he got a phone call from Washington State Prison in Walla Walla. The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the prison. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand. The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving message from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed (乳草属植物) and other plants that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.” 24．What was difficult for David to do in his study? A．Find enough monarchs. B．Employ qualified workers. C．Get financial support. D．Build a new laboratory. 25．Why are the butterflies tagged before being released? A．To guarantee their safety. B．To enable them to fly longer distance. C．To track their travel routes. D．To distinguish them from other species. 26．What makes the prisoners feel that they can change? A．The patience the butterflies showed. B．The transformation of the butterflies. C．The devotion of James to the butterflies. D．The hardship the butterflies experienced. 27．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The findings of James’ study. B．The release of the prisoners. C．The life cycle of the butterflies. D．The impact of the research. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了昆虫学家David James与监狱合作，通过标记并释放帝王蝶来追踪其迁徙路线的研究，以及这一研究对囚犯产生的积极影响。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of the trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely.(蝴蝶的迁徙路线几乎不为人知，因为它们的数量太少，无法追踪。James说，研究人员给200只帝王蝶打上标签后，通常只有一只能在旅程结束时被找回，而且在野外找到200只来打上标签也不太可能。)”可知，David的研究困境源于帝王蝶种群数量过少。需要找到足够的帝王蝶。故选A项。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies.(多年来，华盛顿州立大学研究昆虫的David James一直想研究西海岸帝王蝶的迁徙模式。)”和第二段“The adult insects were then tagged ...(然后，成虫被打上标签并从监狱释放。)”可知，给蝴蝶打上标签是为了追踪它们的迁徙路线。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too”.(看着帝王蝶改变形态也触动了这些人。James回忆说，囚犯们告诉他：“这只蝴蝶变了，也许我们也能变”。)”可知，是蝴蝶的蜕变让囚犯觉得他们也可以改变。故选B项。 27．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other plants that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners..(这项工作帮助研究人员确定了种植乳草和其他对西海岸帝王蝶生命周期至关重要的植物的理想地点。它也展现了一些囚犯更温柔的一面。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是这项研究的影响，包括它对研究帝王蝶生命周期的理想地点的影响和对囚犯产生的积极影响。故选D项。 C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项来自中国的研究团队的创新成果——使用水滴构建的新型设备，该设备有助于微小液体的研究和管理，并强调了其易于构建、调整和改造的特点。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. (然而，中国的一个研究团队用水滴制造出了一种新型设备。)”可知，该设备的特别之处在于使用了水滴。故选C。 29．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets(水滴)could do something similar.(杜鑫意识到，就像积木可以amalgamated在一起并重新排列一样，水滴也能做到类似的事情)”可推测，积木是可以组合在一起并重新排列。选项B“combined”意为“结合、组合”与此相符。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research.... This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient.(他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展...这个新系统可以为这些正在生长的细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，从而使对活体组织的研究更加准确和高效)”可知，他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展，为细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，这表明它有望在医疗领域得到广泛应用。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks.(这个项目的灵感来源于积木。中国南京东南大学的研究员杜鑫，在一名学生带来一套积木时获得了启发)”以及全文内容可知，文章开篇介绍中国团队用水滴制造出新型设备，接着说明该项目的灵感来源于积木。故选B。 D Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 32．What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? A．Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. B．Focusing on single-voice audiobook productions. C．Offering low-priced audiobooks to its new customers. D．Inviting a well-known director to record classic novels. 33．How does the author present the effects of different versions of audiobooks? A．By giving examples. B．By sharing readers’ experiences. C．By presenting data. D．By referring to experts’ words. 34．What is the purpose of the last but one paragraph? A．To show the advantages of audiobooks. B．To compare audiobooks with printed texts. C．To inform readers of findings about audiobooks. D．To stress audiobooks’ value in treating dyslexia. 35．What is the author’s view on the future of audiobooks and printed texts? A．It depends on the choices of readers. B．Both of them hold the future of reading. C．Audiobook popularity is not expected to last. D．Audiobooks will eventually replace printed texts. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章讨论了有声书的兴起及其与印刷书籍的差异，强调两者各有优势，未来将共存。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield...”.(亚马逊旗下的Audible公司也不甘被打败，它一直以来都是市场的领导者。该公司也提升了自己的水平，聘请了奥斯卡获奖导演萨姆·门德斯为狄更斯的小说《雾都孤儿》和《大卫·科波菲尔》录制多声部版本...)”可知，Audible公司邀请了知名导演录制经典小说来保持市场领先地位。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”.(例如，乔治·桑德斯的《林肯在中阴界》中，亚伯拉罕·林肯死去的儿子被一群灵魂的声音包围，成为一个伟大的“发现大人物”的游戏)”及第四段“Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe.(露西·埃尔曼的热门作品《鸭子，纽伯里波特》就是一个很好的例子：一个俄亥俄女人用一句话写了一千页的思想流。它以一段45小时的音频独白展开，这完全不是一回事，因为演员需要呼吸)”可知，作者通过具体案例呈现有声书的效果。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books.(音频版本不同并不意味着它们不如印刷文本好，因为脑部扫描显示，它们刺激的是大脑的相同部分。此外，根据一项最新研究，听故事比看故事更能让人心跳加快。对于有阅读障碍的人来说，他们甚至可以成为生命线——就像他们可以成为那些没有时间或没有读书习惯的人一样)”可知，本段阐述了有声读物的优势。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“... What is certain is that there is room for both.(可以肯定的是，两者都有发展空间)”可知，作者认为有声书和纸质书都掌握着阅读的未来。故选B。 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。 It’s expected that students need to develop critical thinking (批判性思维) skills. In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 36 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 37 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract questions. 38 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas — ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 39 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 40 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, ask questions related to your own life. B．So, practice developing your own questions. C．Besides, people who ask questions are very confident. D．Question-asking activities are good for students in many ways. E．If you’re reading a new text, you can develop questions in three steps.

The usual crowd of customers came in, each with their own unique issues. My job was to help them all, whether it was something as simple as transferring contacts or as difficult as fixing a phone that wouldn’t turn on. Then Joe appeared. He looked to be in his early 50s. His hair was slightly graying. He was practically running towards the counter, his eyes wide with panic. “You need to give me a new phone!” Joe almost shouted. “This one you sold me a few days ago is broken! The photos in my phone are totally messed up!” Joe’s urgency made me pay closer attention. “Let’s take a look at what’s going on,” I said. Joe thrust (塞) the phone into my hands, nearly dropping it. “Look at this! Every picture is ruined!” He sounded out of breath. I opened the photo gallery, and sure enough, the selfies (自拍照) he’d taken were quite strange: His forehead was stretched, and his eyes were oddly wide. The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror. I started checking the settings, detecting there was a heavy filter (滤光器) turned on, which was distorting (扭曲) his face in every picture. “Sir, it’s actually a filter that’s causing the issue. Your phone isn’t broken; it’s just the settings. Resetting the settings of the camera will help.” “But it’s digital! I didn’t mess with anything! My photos were fine when I took them,” he argued. “I need these pictures to be perfect! Please, just fix it,” his voice had softened, almost like he was begging now. Then, almost in a whisper, he admitted, “I need these photos for a dating website.” Suddenly, it all made sense. This was not just any photo but was his shot at finding love. The thought of it going wrong had made him completely uneasy. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I showed him the results of my shots of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. I showed him how to reset the camera settings, making sure to turn off the filter that had been causing the distortion. I double-checked everything, wanting to be certain that this time the photos would come out just right. After completing the adjustment, I suggested Joe start fresh and take some new photos. He still looked tense, like he wasn’t sure this would work. I offered to help him take photos and guided him to pose decently. “Okay, just relax and give me a smile.” Joe forced a nervous but hopeful smile. I showed him the results of my shots of him. Joe stared at the screen for a moment, and then, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Those pictures were normal: His forehead wasn’t stretched, and his eyes looked like his own. He broke into a wide smile. “These are perfect!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with relief. “You really saved the day.” Then Joe left the store a different man, hopeful and ready to take his shot at finding love. Seeing him off, I sensed a smile spread across my face. Sometimes, the smallest gestures really do make the biggest difference. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章主要讲述了在智能手机店工作的作者帮助顾客乔解决手机照片问题，并协助他拍摄用于交友网站的新照片的故事。通过作者的帮助，乔不仅解决了技术问题，还重拾了寻找爱情的信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到这对乔来说有多重要，我知道我必须帮助他。” 可知，第一段可以描写作者如何具体帮助乔解决问题，包括调整相机设置、关闭滤镜以及提出重新拍照的建议，并且引导乔放松心情准备新拍摄。 ②由第二段首句内容“我把拍摄他的结果展示给他看。” 可知，第二段可以描写乔看到修正后的照片时的反应，表达他对作者的感激之情，以及乔离开店铺前的状态变化，体现这次经历对他的积极影响。 2.续写线索：意识到重要性——调整相机设置——提议重新拍照——安抚紧张的乔——展示照片效果——乔如释重负并感谢离开 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①关闭：turn off/switch off ②得体地摆姿势：pose decently/strike a proper pose ③盯着看：stare at/gaze at 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/anxious ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】I showed him how to reset the camera settings, making sure to turn off the filter that had been causing the distortion.(运用了“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语，现在分词短语作状语和that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】 Then Joe left the store a different man, hopeful and ready to take his shot at finding love.

Lantau Trail This 4.5km trail is rated as a challenging route requiring an average of 2h 32min to complete. During the trial, you will be able to reach the highest mountain — Lantau Peak. It’s recommended to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sturdy (结实的) footwear, and set off early in good weather. Ngong Ping Village Trail This 1.9km route takes an average of 30min to complete, which accounts for its easy rating. Ngong Ping Village has the largest Buddhism statues of its kind in the world. But you don’t need to be a Buddhist to enjoy a morning at the Tian Tan Buddha. It’s best to start off in the morning, but avoid a foggy or cloudy day. Sha Tin Trail It takes about 1h 47min to finish this moderately challenging 6.6km route: This trail features Hong Kong’s most unusual temple, the largest museum, and best shopping malls. Sha Tin may be considered “off the beaten track” for many visitors but for those with more than a short 3 or 4 days stay in HK, it can prove to be a very rewarding day trip. Cheung Chau Trail As a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3h 8min to complete 11.7km. Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The scenic ferry journey is one of the highlights of visiting this island. 21．Which trail takes the shortest time? A．Cheung Chau Trail. B．Ngong Ping Village Trail. C．Sha Tin Trail. D．Lantau Trail. 22．What do Ngong Ping Village Trail and Sha Tin Trail have in common? A．They are physically demanding. B．They are for experienced walkers. C．They have a religious atmosphere. D．They include guided tours for visitors. 23．What can you experience during the Cheung Chau Trail? A．Appreciate fishery scenery. B．Buy meaningful souvenirs. C．Visit local museums. D．Enjoy peak scenery. B For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies. The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of the trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out until he got a phone call from Washington State Prison in Walla Walla. The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the prison. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand. The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving message from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed (乳草属植物) and other plants that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.” 24．What was difficult for David to do in his study? A．Find enough monarchs. B．Employ qualified workers. C．Get financial support. D．Build a new laboratory. 25．Why are the butterflies tagged before being released? A．To guarantee their safety. B．To enable them to fly longer distance. C．To track their travel routes. D．To distinguish them from other species. 26．What makes the prisoners feel that they can change? A．The patience the butterflies showed. B．The transformation of the butterflies. C．The devotion of James to the butterflies. D．The hardship the butterflies experienced. 27．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The findings of James’ study. B．The release of the prisoners. C．The life cycle of the butterflies. D．The impact of the research. C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. D Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 32．What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? A．Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. B．Focusing on single-voice audiobook productions. C．Offering low-priced audiobooks to its new customers. D．Inviting a well-known director to record classic novels. 33．How does the author present the effects of different versions of audiobooks? A．By giving examples. B．By sharing readers’ experiences. C．By presenting data. D．By referring to experts’ words. 34．What is the purpose of the last but one paragraph? A．To show the advantages of audiobooks. B．To compare audiobooks with printed texts. C．To inform readers of findings about audiobooks. D．To stress audiobooks’ value in treating dyslexia. 35．What is the author’s view on the future of audiobooks and printed texts? A．It depends on the choices of readers. B．Both of them hold the future of reading. C．Audiobook popularity is not expected to last. D．Audiobooks will eventually replace printed texts. 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。 It’s expected that students need to develop critical thinking (批判性思维) skills. In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 36 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 37 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract questions. 38 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas — ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 39 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 40 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, ask questions related to your own life. B．So, practice developing your own questions. C．Besides, people who ask questions are very confident. D．Question-asking activities are good for students in many ways. E．If you’re reading a new text, you can develop questions in three steps. F．The ability to ask abstract questions is related to higher-order thinking. G．At the same time, you’ve practiced critical thinking by connecting information to yourself. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Rachel Liu has been training as a Beijing Opera performer for four years.

The usual crowd of customers came in, each with their own unique issues. My job was to help them all, whether it was something as simple as transferring contacts or as difficult as fixing a phone that wouldn’t turn on. Then Joe appeared. He looked to be in his early 50s. His hair was slightly graying. He was practically running towards the counter, his eyes wide with panic. “You need to give me a new phone!” Joe almost shouted. “This one you sold me a few days ago is broken! The photos in my phone are totally messed up!” Joe’s urgency made me pay closer attention. “Let’s take a look at what’s going on,” I said. Joe thrust (塞) the phone into my hands, nearly dropping it. “Look at this! Every picture is ruined!” He sounded out of breath. I opened the photo gallery, and sure enough, the selfies (自拍照) he’d taken were quite strange: His forehead was stretched, and his eyes were oddly wide. The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror. I started checking the settings, detecting there was a heavy filter (滤光器) turned on, which was distorting (扭曲) his face in every picture. “Sir, it’s actually a filter that’s causing the issue. Your phone isn’t broken; it’s just the settings. Resetting the settings of the camera will help.” “But it’s digital! I didn’t mess with anything! My photos were fine when I took them,” he argued. “I need these pictures to be perfect! Please, just fix it,” his voice had softened, almost like he was begging now. Then, almost in a whisper, he admitted, “I need these photos for a dating website.” Suddenly, it all made sense. This was not just any photo but was his shot at finding love. The thought of it going wrong had made him completely uneasy. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I showed him the results of my shots of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 英语·参考答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B C A C B A C A B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A C C B A B A B C B 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B C A A C B D C B A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 B D A A B 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36 37 38 39 40 D C E G B 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B C C B D C A B D B 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 D C B D A 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56．remarkable 57．integrating 58．highlights 59．were used 60．Additionally 61．appealing 62．Directed 63．with 64．took 65．an 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 (满分15分) 66．Dear Bob, Knowing from your letter that you are interested in robots, I am writing to share my wonderful experience with you. What attracts me most is a companion robot that is exactly like a human being. It can walk and talk just like a person does. The companion robot is supposed to be a friend for people living alone, which also provides people with a lot of comfort and enrich their lives. In addition, the robot could help monitor the health condition of people real-time in case any emergency arises. Personally, I do see the companion robot as a solution to people’s problems. I wish I could visit the robot exhibition with you next time. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. I showed him how to reset the camera settings, making sure to turn off the filter that had been causing the distortion. I double-checked everything, wanting to be certain that this time the photos would come out just right. After completing the adjustment, I suggested Joe start fresh and take some new photos. He still looked tense, like he wasn’t sure this would work. I offered to help him take photos and guided him to pose decently. “Okay, just relax and give me a smile.” Joe forced a nervous but hopeful smile. I showed him the results of my shots of him. Joe stared at the screen for a moment, and then, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Those pictures were normal: His forehead wasn’t stretched, and his eyes looked like his own. He broke into a wide smile. “These are perfect!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with relief. “You really saved the day.” Then Joe left the store a different man, hopeful and ready to take his shot at finding love. Seeing him off, I sensed a smile spread across my face. Sometimes, the smallest gestures really do make the biggest difference. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 峰在养师用详腾理城冷什养，出明色电希动使厚定区性的将多无验 英语·答题卡 是四都分作〔其两节，端冷每分) 宽一节（裤分13分） 华条形区 0 0 0 0 0 07 1 1 诺爽事项 23 23 23 23 234 2 23 23 生先将自己的姓名 准证号辉城清是并 3 真检立查考员所贴的条妈 4 4 4 4 之全使用B笔填 56 5 5 5 5 5 5 色字建荟字第填属，军体工整 67 8 67 87 567 6 012345678 的高南无数，在草纸、试春上作答无效 L十清不更折县，不弄，，不准月 8 8 8 5678 8 8 支展、纸刀 9 迷择题（请用2B铅笔填涂） 11411B11C s1AIF■1fC1 口41IIIC1 161s1H01c IAJBIICI 1IAlIBIICI 日【A1H1C1 171A11B11Ct JIA1I1川c 。IAI■IICI D IAIIMIICI IIAIIHIICI Yours. 4IAll8IiCI 91AI●1IC1 141A1H11C1 191411811c1 5I411B11c1 10441HI1 BIAIIBIICI (AIIBIICI H IAIIRIICHDI 6IA1H8Hg1川D 31141IC1I01 61A1B11C1D11g1川F1101 1AIIBIICHIDI 2”1A1181C111 刀【A1H1C1D1371A11B11Ct11K11r11G1 单二节（端分5分） 台1A目HC1开 81 AIBIICI叫 IAIIRIICJIBI 1AHHIICIDIIEIIF]ICI 241AII●1 ICHDI 9141I1C1ID 3EAIIDIICIIDI 71A1 IICHDIIK1I1IG可 Kealining how ruch this meant to loe,I knem I hd to help him 251ABtC1D川 041a1HC111 5【411IC1D1 D141H11CtD111川11a 4:1AI●IC1D 614111川G11D SLAIIBIICIDI 知1ABC1D 力141售HC11叫 IAIIBIICIIDI IAITRIICHIPI w141HC11 S 1AIIBIICHOI 阳 4H1A目SHC1IDI 1411sHC11D1 MIAIIBIICIIDI 4514IaC11D可 01s1IHC1D时 %141111C1ID 非选择题（请在客试题的答题区内作答） 第豆厚分销超用《共两节，满分3排分】 第二节（其山小烟：蜂小赠15分，满分体分） 57 58 令 63 64. 65 线在客题目销等国城内作%，进色达形K城养辉室上效： W春题目n养网区城内作的：，里A飞建×城角等案L效！ 川 美行第2真来4氨) 裤在春题目的特城内府等，短量色区海隆飞城的养乳无绘！ 1howo时hin the result也of my sots of him 请勿在此区域内作答 或者做任何标记 裤在各慧目销附框南与由餐学色影形左限山长城方香案上滴1 语算4页（共4风司 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。 3．测试范围： 选择性必修第四册Units 10-11（北师大版2019）。 4．难度系数：0.65。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。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．What will the weather be like this afternoon according to the woman?

Lantau Trail This 4.5km trail is rated as a challenging route requiring an average of 2h 32min to complete. During the trial, you will be able to reach the highest mountain — Lantau Peak. It’s recommended to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sturdy (结实的) footwear, and set off early in good weather. Ngong Ping Village Trail This 1.9km route takes an average of 30min to complete, which accounts for its easy rating. Ngong Ping Village has the largest Buddhism statues of its kind in the world. But you don’t need to be a Buddhist to enjoy a morning at the Tian Tan Buddha. It’s best to start off in the morning, but avoid a foggy or cloudy day. Sha Tin Trail It takes about 1h 47min to finish this moderately challenging 6.6km route: This trail features Hong Kong’s most unusual temple, the largest museum, and best shopping malls. Sha Tin may be considered “off the beaten track” for many visitors but for those with more than a short 3 or 4 days stay in HK, it can prove to be a very rewarding day trip. Cheung Chau Trail As a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3h 8min to complete 11.7km. Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The scenic ferry journey is one of the highlights of visiting this island. 21．Which trail takes the shortest time? A．Cheung Chau Trail. B．Ngong Ping Village Trail. C．Sha Tin Trail. D．Lantau Trail. 22．What do Ngong Ping Village Trail and Sha Tin Trail have in common? A．They are physically demanding. B．They are for experienced walkers. C．They have a religious atmosphere. D．They include guided tours for visitors. 23．What can you experience during the Cheung Chau Trail? A．Appreciate fishery scenery. B．Buy meaningful souvenirs. C．Visit local museums. D．Enjoy peak scenery. B For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies. The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of the trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out until he got a phone call from Washington State Prison in Walla Walla. The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the prison. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand. The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving message from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed (乳草属植物) and other plants that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.” 24．What was difficult for David to do in his study? A．Find enough monarchs. B．Employ qualified workers. C．Get financial support. D．Build a new laboratory. 25．Why are the butterflies tagged before being released? A．To guarantee their safety. B．To enable them to fly longer distance. C．To track their travel routes. D．To distinguish them from other species. 26．What makes the prisoners feel that they can change? A．The patience the butterflies showed. B．The transformation of the butterflies. C．The devotion of James to the butterflies. D．The hardship the butterflies experienced. 27．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The findings of James’ study. B．The release of the prisoners. C．The life cycle of the butterflies. D．The impact of the research. C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 28．How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A．It is made from plastic. B．It is designed by a student. C．It employs water drops. D．It features metal structures. 29．What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Enlarged. B．Combined. C．Distinguished. D．Shown. 30．What does Du’s team expect of the system? A．It will have wide application in medical treatment. B．It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C．It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D．It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 31．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain. B．Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids. C．There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks. D．Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets. D Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 32．What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? A．Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. B．Focusing on single-voice audiobook productions. C．Offering low-priced audiobooks to its new customers. D．Inviting a well-known director to record classic novels. 33．How does the author present the effects of different versions of audiobooks? A．By giving examples. B．By sharing readers’ experiences. C．By presenting data. D．By referring to experts’ words. 34．What is the purpose of the last but one paragraph? A．To show the advantages of audiobooks. B．To compare audiobooks with printed texts. C．To inform readers of findings about audiobooks. D．To stress audiobooks’ value in treating dyslexia. 35．What is the author’s view on the future of audiobooks and printed texts? A．It depends on the choices of readers. B．Both of them hold the future of reading. C．Audiobook popularity is not expected to last. D．Audiobooks will eventually replace printed texts. 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。 It’s expected that students need to develop critical thinking (批判性思维) skills. In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 36 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 37 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract questions. 38 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas — ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 39 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 40 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, ask questions related to your own life. B．So, practice developing your own questions. C．Besides, people who ask questions are very confident. D．Question-asking activities are good for students in many ways. E．If you’re reading a new text, you can develop questions in three steps. F．The ability to ask abstract questions is related to higher-order thinking. G．At the same time, you’ve practiced critical thinking by connecting information to yourself. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Rachel Liu has been training as a Beijing Opera performer for four years.

The usual crowd of customers came in, each with their own unique issues. My job was to help them all, whether it was something as simple as transferring contacts or as difficult as fixing a phone that wouldn’t turn on. Then Joe appeared. He looked to be in his early 50s. His hair was slightly graying. He was practically running towards the counter, his eyes wide with panic. “You need to give me a new phone!” Joe almost shouted. “This one you sold me a few days ago is broken! The photos in my phone are totally messed up!” Joe’s urgency made me pay closer attention. “Let’s take a look at what’s going on,” I said. Joe thrust (塞) the phone into my hands, nearly dropping it. “Look at this! Every picture is ruined!” He sounded out of breath. I opened the photo gallery, and sure enough, the selfies (自拍照) he’d taken were quite strange: His forehead was stretched, and his eyes were oddly wide. The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror. I started checking the settings, detecting there was a heavy filter (滤光器) turned on, which was distorting (扭曲) his face in every picture. “Sir, it’s actually a filter that’s causing the issue. Your phone isn’t broken; it’s just the settings. Resetting the settings of the camera will help.” “But it’s digital! I didn’t mess with anything! My photos were fine when I took them,” he argued. “I need these pictures to be perfect! Please, just fix it,” his voice had softened, almost like he was begging now. Then, almost in a whisper, he admitted, “I need these photos for a dating website.” Suddenly, it all made sense. This was not just any photo but was his shot at finding love. The thought of it going wrong had made him completely uneasy. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I showed him the results of my shots of him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
