In 2013 it was recognised as an official Designated Collection by Arts Council England and described as “of outstanding importance and value”. There are currently over 40,000 items within the collection, which continues to grow as we acquire new objects to preserve and help us share stories about football. Below provides a brief summary of the individual collections that contribute to the Football Heritage Collection. The FIFA — Langton Collection The finest single collection of football in the world was collected by Harry Langton, a London journalist with a passion for the game. The vast collection includes artwork, toys and games and playing equipment, and also houses a number of objects relating to women’s football. The Football League Collection This collection reflects all aspects of the history and development of the world’s oldestprofessional league, founded in 1888. Handbooks, attendance records, programmes and a large range of books provide an invaluable research tool for the museum. The People’s Collection This rich and developing collection features objects donated to us by members of thepublic, footballers (and their families) and other people related to the game. The 6,000-strong collection features all kinds of items. Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End Collections The official collection from Preston North End contains over 1,000 objects and celebratesone of the most famous clubs in the history of the game, and the team that play at the oldest football league ground in the world. 21.

It helps us share basketball stories. 22. Which collection displays objects about women’s football? A. The People’s Collection. B. Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End Collections. C. The Football L eague Collection. D. The FIFA — Langton Collection. 23. Where is the text probably from? A. A research paper. B. A museum guide. C. A campus poster. D. A film review. B For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow. Combined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above. Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. “It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure…” “I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation, he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift. To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared. “Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.” 24. Where does Simon Beck create art? A. On maps. B. On mountains. C. On snowfields. D. On soccer fields. 25. Why did Beck create his first drawing? A. To prove his talent. B. To have fun. C. To entertain the skiers. D. To develop a new hobby. 26. What contributed lo Beck’s art creation? A. His experience of making maps. B. His passion for skiing. C. His competitive nature. D. His dream to be an artist. 27. In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage? A. Travel. B. Sports. C. Geography. D. Art. C A new APP uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tell you what your pet is thinking. It’s called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal’s facial features, tells you what breed(血统) it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared. The Happy Pets app uses AI, or machine learning. It’s a technology that’s used for vision in robotics and self-driving cars and it works by taking in images and assigning importance to them. One common use for AI is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it’s important part of security processes in, for instance, airports. But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then had to learn to recognize facial features. This is sophisticated because photos can be taken in so many different ways: from the side, above, below, in bright light. And different animals can have such different facial features. Think about how different the noses of a border collie(边境牧羊犬) and bulldog are, for instance. Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learned from thousands of examples. For instance, if a dog tightens its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears in a particular way, it’s a sign of being scared. In an online article for Melbourne University’s Pursuit, the researchers write they’re happy with how the app performs. The researchers would love feedback about how they could develop the app further. 28. Which of the following may go beyond Happy Pets’ function? A. Learning the kinds of pets. B Showing pets’ main feelings. C. Teaching pets’ facial recognition. D. Analyzing the pets’ facial features. 29. What is the facial recognition technology commonly used as now? A. The robot’s eye. B. A security system. C. The vision of self driving. D. A machine learning system. 30. What does the underlying word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 meaning? A. Typical. B. Complex. C. Scientific. D. Traditional. 31. Why does Happy Pets have to learn to recognize faces? A. Because faces can definitely show animals feelings. B. Because it wants to have emotions of humans. C. Because it enables Happy Pets to detect emotions based on specific facial features. D. Because the types of animals are based on the looks. D Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes. Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type. The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the team demonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life. The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study. The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.” 32. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show the disadvantages of plastic. C. To highlight the importance of plastic. D. To indicate his views on previous plastic. 33. What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2? A. Change itself. B. Shape itself. C. Repair itself. D. Burn itself. 34. What do we know about the new plastic? A. It is safe for animals in the ocean. B. It can provide nutrition for animals. C. It can change its shape when frozen. D. It is more brittle than previous plastic. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Research Of New Molecules B. An Interesting Scientific Study C. The Widespread Application Of Plastic D. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic 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山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A diverse workforce consists of people from all walks of life. These are employees who will view the world differently, and who will apply their personal experience to contribute unique viewpoints which can benefit your company. ____36____ There are still more real and immediate benefits of diversity in the workplace. When employees with different viewpoints come together, everyone shares a slightly different approach to the job and the problem at hand. And that’s a benefit, as far as your success is concerned. ____37____ They’re diverse too, after all. Meanwhile, workplace diversity boosts creativity. Think about it this way: sameness causes sameness. If you only hire employees coming from similar cultures and socioeconomic circumstances, you’re limiting the creativity and innovation of your company. ____38____ In general, people like to fit in, so they are careful not to stick their necks out. When in a strong, homogenous (同种类的) culture, they prevent the natural cognitive (认知的) diversity in groups through the pressure to follow the majority. ____39____ No matter who they are or where they come from, this inclusiveness helps them break down barriers and reduce the fear of being rejected. ____40____ A diverse workforce gives you a diverse and global perspective — a point of view rich in incredible slight differences in human experience and culture — and that means you will have a greater chance of expanding into more diverse markets, both at home and abroad. A. And this just doesn’t end there. B. Similarly, different voices will contribute to diversity. C. Actually, diversity should be a major goal for every company. D. A diverse workforce also gives you better insights into your customers. E. But a workplace culture of diversity helps your employees feel included. F. Beyond that, diversity can help you successfully develop your business globally. G. On the contrary, employees from diverse backgrounds will bring diverse solutions. 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內处的最佳选项。　 In high school, I got my first job at the local hardware (五金制品) store, all thanks to Mr. Anderson, our neighbor. He offered me a chance to ____41____ there. My parents gave the thumbs (拇指) up, so I ____42____ the world of part-time jobs. My daily tasks weren’t too ____43____. I tidied up shelves and helped ____44____ find what they needed. But working in a(n) ____45____ hardware store during the summer turned out to be more ____46____ than I thought. I had to manage between helping customers with screws and refilling shelves with goods. At dinner, I’d ____47____ tales of my day, admitting that the ____48____ was proving more difficult than I first thought. My dad, who had his share of hands-on experience fixing cars, would laugh and share ____49____ from his early mechanic (机械师) days. He’d say, “Jobs like this teach you more than just about money; they _____50_____ your character.” Back then, I didn’t realize that my summer _____51_____ at the hardware store was turning out to be more than just a way to _____52_____ some extra money. As the summer went on, I found myself gaining a _____53_____ understanding of responsibility and the essence of hard work. The simple _____54_____ in the store became life lessons, teaching me to appreciate and _____55_____ the people who work hard every day to make everything go smoothly. 41.

You will probably say that they go to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other ___57___ (subject). That is quite accurate. But why do they learn these things? We send our children to school ___58___ (prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some ___59___ (practice) use in their life. But is that the only reason for ___60___ they go to school? There is more in education than just ___61___ (learn) factors. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really ___62___ (know) how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, ___63___ be able to teach others how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just does it ___64___ (bad). The purpose of schools, therefore, is not to teach languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., but to teach pupils ____65____ way to learn. 第四部分：写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的朋友Jerry和你约好寒假到上海游玩，但你因故不能陪同。请你根据以下要点用英语给他写一封邮件道歉，内容包括： 1. 表示歉意； 2. 说明无法陪同的情况； 3. 另约时间。 注意：1.词数100词左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 读后续写（满分25分) 67. 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。 On a cold, stormy winter day, an old friend invited me out for a cup of coffee. We met by his house, and as we walked down the street, we passed by a small cafe with a sign hanging on the door that read, “You’re welcome in. We have suspended(待用) coffee.” “Suspended coffee?” I asked my friend. “What does that mean?” “You’ve never heard of it?” my friend asked, and I shook my head. “Follow me,” he told me, and we joined the line of people standing in front of the cash register. “What can I offer you today?” The cashier asked a couple of young lawyers who were looking at the menu. “I think we’ll take three cups of coffee,” one of them said. “2 now, and 1 suspended.” The cashier nodded, as if it were an ordinary order, took payment and placed two cups of hot coffee on the counter. The two thanked him, took the two cups and left without waiting for the third. The next in line was an older couple. “Same order as always?” The cashier smiled at them. “Yes, thank you,” replied the woman. “But please add two suspended coffees, we haven’t purchased any of those for quite a while.” Our turn to order arrived. “Good morning!” said the cashier. “How can I help you?” “I think we’d like two cups of coffee,” my friend said. When our order was ready, we took our cups and sat down to drink them together. “But what does ‘suspended coffee’ mean?” I asked my friend. He said, “It’s for someone else who needs it, please wait and see.” Nearly two hours passed. The cafe was almost empty of people when the door suddenly opened and a man in old shabby (破旧的) clothes and a tired look came in and stood quietly in front of the cash register. 注意： 1. 续写词数应 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He thought for a moment and then asked quietly, “Do you have a suspended coffee?” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I knew what “suspended coffee” meant completely. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 邹平市黄山中学2024--2025学年高二上学期 阶段性测试英语试题 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 考生注意: 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the two speakers do first?

It can protect the house from strong cold air. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight. During the day, the energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 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 The National Football Museum has the world’s largest public collection of football objects and archives (档案), which is known as the Football Heritage Collection.

But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow. Combined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above. Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. “It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure…” “I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation, he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift. To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared. “Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.” 24. Where does Simon Beck create art? A. On maps. B. On mountains. C. On snowfields. D. On soccer fields. 25. Why did Beck create his first drawing? A. To prove his talent. B. To have fun. C. To entertain the skiers. D. To develop a new hobby. 26. What contributed lo Beck’s art creation? A. His experience of making maps. B. His passion for skiing. C. His competitive nature. D. His dream to be an artist. 27. In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage? A. Travel. B. Sports. C. Geography. D. Art. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.(他通过步行穿过足球场大小、覆盖着未受破坏的雪的区域，创作了大型陆地艺术)”可知，他是在雪地上创作艺术画作的。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure…(一天滑雪后，我决定在雪地上画一幅画来寻求乐趣……)”可知，Simon Beck一开始是为了找点乐子才在雪地上画画的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.( 59岁的贝克曾是一名地图绘制师，后来成为一名雪景艺术家，这要归功于他在晚年决定追求自己的爱好)”和第四段“It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.(由于他以前的工作经验，这一点也不具有挑战性)”可知，Beck以前是一位地图制作者，由于他以前的工作经验，在雪地上画画一点也不具有挑战性。由此可推断，他之前制作地图的经验有助于他的艺术创作。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.(西蒙·贝克有不同的想法，在十年的时间里，他在雪地艺术领域为自己开辟了一条道路。他通过步行穿过足球场大小、覆盖着未受破坏的雪的区域，创作了大型陆地艺术)”结合文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。可推知，文章选自“艺术”部分。故选D。 C A new APP uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tell you what your pet is thinking. It’s called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal’s facial features, tells you what breed(血统) it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared. The Happy Pets app uses AI, or machine learning. It’s a technology that’s used for vision in robotics and self-driving cars and it works by taking in images and assigning importance to them. One common use for AI is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it’s important part of security processes in, for instance, airports. But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then had to learn to recognize facial features. This is sophisticated because photos can be taken in so many different ways: from the side, above, below, in bright light. And different animals can have such different facial features. Think about how different the noses of a border collie(边境牧羊犬) and bulldog are, for instance. Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learned from thousands of examples. For instance, if a dog tightens its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears in a particular way, it’s a sign of being scared. In an online article for Melbourne University’s Pursuit, the researchers write they’re happy with how the app performs. The researchers would love feedback about how they could develop the app further. 28. Which of the following may go beyond Happy Pets’ function? A. Learning the kinds of pets. B. Showing pets’ main feelings. C. Teaching pets’ facial recognition. D. Analyzing the pets’ facial features. 29. What is the facial recognition technology commonly used as now? A. The robot’s eye. B. A security system. C. The vision of self driving. D. A machine learning system. 30. What does the underlying word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 meaning? A. Typical. B. Complex. C. Scientific. D. Traditional. 31. Why does Happy Pets have to learn to recognize faces? A. Because faces can definitely show animals feelings. B. Because it wants to have emotions of humans. C. Because it enables Happy Pets to detect emotions based on specific facial features. D. Because the types of animals are based on the looks. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款可以识别宠物情绪的软件并讲述了其工作原理。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal’s facial features, tells you what breed(血统) it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared.(它叫作快乐宠物，它分析动物的面部特征，告诉你动物是什么品种，而且它显示五种最常见的动物情绪中的哪一种——快乐、愤怒、中性、悲伤和恐惧。)”可知，快乐宠物的功能包括：分析宠物面部特征、告诉是什么品种并指出动物的情绪，A、B、D三项均是这款应用程序的功能，C项“教授宠物的面部识别”在文中没有提到。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“One common use for AI is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it’s important part of security processes in, for instance, airports.(人工智能的一个常见用途是面部识别技术。我们中的许多人可以通过面部图像解锁手机，而且这是机场等安全流程的重要组成部分。)”可知，面部识别技术常用于解锁手机和机场等场所的安全流程。由此可推测出，面部识别技术主要通常用于安保系统。故选B。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。This指代上文中的“learn to recognize facial features”（学习识别面部特征）。根据画线词后的“because photos can be taken in so many different ways: from the side, above, below, in bright light”可知，照片的拍摄有很多种不同的方式。由此可推测出，识别面部特征很复杂。sophisticated意为“复杂的”，和B项意思最接近。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It then had to learn to recognize facial features.(然后它必须学会识别面部特征。)”和“Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learned from thousands of examples.(一旦快乐宠物背后的人工智能学会了这一切，它就必须能够根据与每种情绪相关的特定面部特征来检测情绪，这是它从数千个例子中学到的。)”可知，快乐宠物必须要学会识别面部特征，因为这使它能够基于特定的面部特征来检测宠物的情绪。故选C。 D Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes. Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type. The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the team demonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life. The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study. The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.” 32. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show the disadvantages of plastic. C. To highlight the importance of plastic. D. To indicate his views on previous plastic. 33. What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2? A. Change itself. B. Shape itself. C. Repair itself. D. Burn itself. 34. What do we know about the new plastic? A. It is safe for animals in the ocean. B. It can provide nutrition for animals. C. It can change its shape when frozen. D. It is more brittle than previous plastic. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Research Of New Molecules B. An Interesting Scientific Study C. The Widespread Application Of Plastic D. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了，东京大学的日本科学家开发了一种新型环保塑料材料，这种材料更容易分解，可以自我愈合并记住过去的形状。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中“However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.

These are employees who will view the world differently, and who will apply their personal experience to contribute unique viewpoints which can benefit your company. ____36____ There are still more real and immediate benefits of diversity in the workplace. When employees with different viewpoints come together, everyone shares a slightly different approach to the job and the problem at hand. And that’s a benefit, as far as your success is concerned. ____37____ They’re diverse too, after all. Meanwhile, workplace diversity boosts creativity. Think about it this way: sameness causes sameness. If you only hire employees coming from similar cultures and socioeconomic circumstances, you’re limiting the creativity and innovation of your company. ____38____ In general, people like to fit in, so they are careful not to stick their necks out. When in a strong, homogenous (同种类的) culture, they prevent the natural cognitive (认知的) diversity in groups through the pressure to follow the majority. ____39____ No matter who they are or where they come from, this inclusiveness helps them break down barriers and reduce the fear of being rejected. ____40____ A diverse workforce gives you a diverse and global perspective — a point of view rich in incredible slight differences in human experience and culture — and that means you will have a greater chance of expanding into more diverse markets, both at home and abroad. A And this just doesn’t end there. B. Similarly, different voices will contribute to diversity. C. Actually, diversity should be a major goal for every company. D. A diverse workforce also gives you better insights into your customers. E. But a workplace culture of diversity helps your employees feel included. F. Beyond that, diversity can help you successfully develop your business globally. G. On the contrary, employees from diverse backgrounds will bring diverse solutions. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. G 39. E 40.

We met by his house, and as we walked down the street, we passed by a small cafe with a sign hanging on the door that read, “You’re welcome in. We have suspended(待用) coffee.” “Suspended coffee?” I asked my friend. “What does that mean?” “You’ve never heard of it?” my friend asked, and I shook my head. “Follow me,” he told me, and we joined the line of people standing in front of the cash register. “What can I offer you today?” The cashier asked a couple of young lawyers who were looking at the menu. “I think we’ll take three cups of coffee,” one of them said. “2 now, and 1 suspended.” The cashier nodded, as if it were an ordinary order, took payment and placed two cups of hot coffee on the counter. The two thanked him, took the two cups and left without waiting for the third. The next in line was an older couple. “Same order as always?” The cashier smiled at them. “Yes, thank you,” replied the woman. “But please add two suspended coffees, we haven’t purchased any of those for quite a while.” Our turn to order arrived. “Good morning!” said the cashier. “How can I help you?” “I think we’d like two cups of coffee,” my friend said. When our order was ready, we took our cups and sat down to drink them together. “But what does ‘suspended coffee’ mean?” I asked my friend. He said, “It’s for someone else who needs it, please wait and see.” Nearly two hours passed. The cafe was almost empty of people when the door suddenly opened and a man in old shabby (破旧的) clothes and a tired look came in and stood quietly in front of the cash register. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He thought for a moment and then asked quietly, “Do you have a suspended coffee?” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I knew what “suspended coffee” meant completely. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 He thought for a moment and then asked quietly, “Do you have a suspended coffee?” The cashier smiled and nodded, poured the man a cup of hot coffee and placed it in front of him. The man thanked him, took the coffee and left without paying. Half an hour later, another middle-aged man looking like a beggar came in and asked for a suspended coffee. He took a cup of coffee without paying either. No one else seemed to take notice of this moment, which appeared to be ordinary in this cafe. My friend asked me smilingly, “You see?” It was then that I knew what “suspended coffee” meant completely. I could not help but be moved by this little gesture. “Anyone can prepay for a cup of coffee for someone less fortunate without making them feel bad. The cup of coffee waits for anyone interested in it, who knows better than us what a warm cup of coffee can do for a cold day,” my friend said. When we got up to leave, I stopped for a moment and went back to the cash register. “I just wanted to buy another cup of coffee. Suspended.” I told him in a soft voice. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友路过一家小咖啡馆，门上挂着一块牌子，上面写着:“欢迎您进来。我们有待用咖啡。”作者好奇什么是“待用咖啡”，朋友带着他加入了收银机前的队伍。作者看到前面的律师和老年夫妇都点了“待用咖啡”。朋友告诉作者“待用咖啡”是给其他需要它的人的。将近两个小时过去了，咖啡馆里几乎空无一人，突然门开了，一个衣衫褴褛、神情疲惫的人走了进来，静静地站在收银机前。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“他想了一会儿，然后平静地问:“你们有待用咖啡吗?””可知，第一段可描写作者看到不同的人来喝“待用咖啡”的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“那时我才完全明白“待用咖啡”是什么意思。”可知，第二段可描写作者的感悟并且也买了一杯“待用咖啡”。 2.续写线索：收银员给那人倒咖啡——那人端起咖啡离开——另一个人没付钱也喝了咖啡——作者被感动——离开时点了“待用咖啡” 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/lay aside ②注意：take notice of/pay attention to ③买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/be grateful ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] No one else seemed to take notice of this moment, which appeared to be ordinary in this cafe.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] When we got up to leave, I stopped for a moment and went back to the cash register.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。I can find my new tie I needed for tonight's party.

The first one is the tree house. Like a leave, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. IT uses the soil to control the homes temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizzard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When its in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect IT from strong heat. During the dark days, IT turns White and takes in as much White and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney y house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner, because IT is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
