Ⅰ 七选五
Die clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. __1__ By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Die moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.
Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: __2__ Communicating the realness and immediacy (紧迫) of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. __3__ That's why Die and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality headsets and watch their homes be flooded.
__4__ It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.
The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. __5__ But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program's developers. “The goal,” he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks visualize (想象) the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the tradeoffs between them.”
A.Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park.
B.Virtual reality is the product of the rapid development of it.
C.These projects need public support and input.
D.Does the community depend on the shipping industry for its survival?
E.How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?
F.Virtual reality is an immersive experience (身临其境的体验) that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real.
G.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为了提高居民对气候变化的真实性和即时性的认识,巴尔的摩东南部的一个历史悠久的非洲裔美国人社区运用了虚拟现实技术,帮助人们想象气候变化的影响和解决方案。
1.A 根据上文“Die clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go.(Die单击按钮,看着她的社区被洪水淹没。海岸线是第一个被摧毁的。)”可知,A项(然后是弗莱明公园的棒球场。)承接上文,说明洪水在摧毁海岸线之后,又毁了棒球场。故选A。
2.E 根据上文“Climate change presents many challenges ... one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome (气候变化给沿海社区和那些设法为其影响而做着准备的人带来了许多挑战,但其中最重要的也是最麻烦的一项)”可知,关键词为“many challenges”,E项(你如何向人们展示并说服他们相信一个可能的未来?)解释了上文中提及的这些挑战中“最重要的也是最麻烦的一项”。故选E。
3.C 根据下文“That's why Die ... watch their homes be flooded.(这就是为什么Die和其他居民被要求坐在金属椅子上,戴上模拟现实耳机,观看着家园被洪水淹没。)”可知,设空处应说明居民们看洪水淹没社区的虚拟场景的原因。C项(这些项目需要公众的支持和投入。)与下文构成因果关系。故选C。
4.G 根据下文“It has partnered (合作) with the ... every place is different.(它和巴尔的摩港一些非营利组织和当地的景观建筑公司合作,采用一系列通信工具和通信方式向公众传递气候变化,因为每个人和每个地方都是不同的。)”可知,下文的主语“It”指代G项中的“Turner Station”,G项(特纳车站,一个容易被洪水淹没的社区,正努力做好准备。)引出下文。故选G。
5.F 根据下文“But tricking people is not the goal ... one of the program's developers.(但是欺骗人不是在特纳站使用海平面上升模拟场景的目的,一个程序的开发人员詹姆斯说。)”可知,F项(虚拟现实是一个身临其境的体验,可以欺骗人类大脑认为这是真实的。)与下文衔接紧密,且F项中的“trick the human brain”与下文中的“tricking people”一致。故选F。
Ⅱ 语法填空
(2023·湖北省黄冈市十一校高二下学期期中联考)The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or DragonHeadRaising Festival, falling on the second day of the second lunar month every year, __1__ (recognize) the start of spring and farming.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的“龙抬头”以及该节日的饮食习俗。
1.recognizes 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival是单数,谓语用单数。故填recognizes。
2.meaning 考查非谓语动词。mean与其逻辑主语phrase构成主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。故填meaning。
3.traditional 考查词性转换。修饰名词ways,应用形容词traditional,作定语。故填traditional。
4.longer 考查固定短语。句意:虽然一些传统的庆祝方式已经不再流行,但还有一些方式仍然存在。no longer意为“不再”。故填longer。
5.a 考查冠词。表示“理发”的短语为get a haircut,且haircut的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
6.for 考查介词。句意:在中国东部福建省,人们在春节期间吃豆腐球,通常会做豆腐和蔬菜球,为家人和生意祈祷。短语pray for表示“为……祈祷”。故填for。
7.Fried 考查词性转换。句意:在山东部分地区,炒豆是人们的传统节日食物。修饰名词beans,应用形容词fried “油炸的”作定语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Fried。
8.parts 考查名词。part意为“区域,地区”,是可数名词,此处表示不止山东的一个地区,应用复数。故填parts。
9.which 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,解释说明先行词cakes,在从句中作主语,指物,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
10.are named 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语other foods与谓语动词name构成被动关系,且句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态;主语为复数。故填are named。
Ⅲ 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tommy and Mickle walked along the beach, looking for an adventure. They joked that some day they would find a talking fish or a mermaid or a bottle with a treasure map inside. So far they had only found shells and rocks and seaweed. Today was different though. The boys felt excited.
Sea crabs scampered on the rocks, up one side and down the other. They were quick and lively. The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away. Then Tommy saw a fish. It was trapped on the beach, just flopping around.
“Can it talk?” Mickle asked.
“It looks like any other fish,” Tommy said. He picked it up gently and carried it to the water. “Do you think it will grant us any wishes?” Mickle laughed.
The boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water. “No. Maybe next time”, Tommy grinned.
As the two friends walked farther down the beach they came upon a bottle. It was green with a cork in the mouth.
“Our luck will change. Does it have a map or a genie inside?” Mickle joked.
Mickle reached down and picked up the bottle. He rubbed it. Nothing happened. He pulled on the cork. Nothing happened. He shook it. Nothing happened.
“Try the cork again. I bet the genie is waiting for us to release him. Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure,” Tommy exclaimed.
Mickle tugged again on the cork. He wiggled it back and forth. He twisted it around and around. Finally it popped out without breaking. Mickle shook the bottle. Nothing came out. Looking inside he couldn't see anything. Tommy looked too and shook his head. Empty.
“It's just an old wine bottle,” Tommy complained. He grabbed the bottle and tossed it back onto the sand.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The bottle hit a rock and shattered into many pieces.
The two boys ran after it.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。两个男孩Tommy (汤米)和Mickle (米克尔)沿着海滩散步,他们开玩笑说会遇见一条会说话的鱼或者里面有藏宝图的瓶子或者别的什么。然而这一天他们真的遇见了他们所幻想的事物。那么瓶子碎了之后,他们发现了什么?他们追逐这个碎后复原的瓶子又遇见了什么?
[精彩范文]
The bottle hit a rock and shattered into many pieces. Both Tommy and Mickle gasped as they saw a long, silver key on the ground in the glass pieces. Then they looked at each other. Why didn't it make noise when they shook the bottle? Why didn't they see it? Mickle bent over to pick up the key. Suddenly the glass pieces came together to form a bottle again. The key was mysteriously back inside! And the bottle began rolling slowly toward the sea.
The two boys ran after it. When they entered the sea, astonishingly they didn't sink into the water but floated on the surface of it. They felt excited. They followed the bottle and then it stopped near an island where there was much treasure like diamonds and stones. “You can take as much as possible,” a voice came from the coast where a talking fish was swimming. It was the trapped fish that Tommy saved and put back into the water.
