I’m talking about Daniel Webb and his project, Everyday Plastic. Daniel moved to the coastal town in 2016, and was shocked to learn that there were no recycling options offered at his new home. With no way to deal with plastic responsibly, he decided to conduct an experiment: he would collect all of his plastic waste for one year. He worked with a scientist to look at the plastic he collected and learned a lot about how much plastic he used. This experiment changed his life, and that’s how Everyday Plastic started. Now, Daniel wants to help people see how they can make a difference with plastic. His project shows that anyone can do something about plastic waste, no matter who they are or how old they are. Now, let’s give a round of applause for Daniel Webb, who turned a small-town problem into a nationwide movement against plastic pollution. 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 England and France Tour PRIVATE CAR/MINIBUS — 5 DAYS ABOUT THE TOUR Your guide will take you on a 3-hour panoramic (全景的) tour of London upon airport pickup.

See, for example, Pegasus Bridge, Arromanches with Mulberry Harbour and its sea front war museum, and continue on to Omaha beach, the impressive American cemetery and Pointe du Hoc before returning to Paris.(您的导游将为您量身定制行程，带您参观诺曼底登陆日的海滩、纪念馆和二战公墓。例如，参观飞马桥、阿罗芒什与桑树港及其海滨战争博物馆，然后继续前往奥马哈海滩、令人印象深刻的美国公墓和奥克角，然后返回巴黎。)”可知，飞马桥与二战有关。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A qualified guide just for your party for each guided tour, private vehicle, entrance fees, and accommodation but not parking or meals, plus a one-way Eurostar ticket from London to Paris in standard class.( 每次导游游都会为您的团队配备一名专业的导游，提供私家车服务、门票和住宿（费用已包含），但不包括停车费或餐费，另外还提供一张从伦敦到巴黎的标准舱单程欧洲之星车票。)”可知，旅游价格中不包括从巴黎返回的旅程费用。故选D。 B Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The significance of butterflies in nature. B. The potential danger to butterflies. C. The competition between species. D. The food web of insects. 25. Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden? A. To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B. To boost the quantity of butterflies. C. To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D. To enhance the beauty of his backyard. 26. Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory? A. The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. B. People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment. C. The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. D. The impact of human activities on insect habitats. 27. What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph? A. He is enthusiastic about gardening. B. He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts. C. He will carry on despite an uncertain future. D. He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Duncan Jurman对蝴蝶的热爱和他为保护蝴蝶所做的努力，包括立志将佛罗里达州布劳沃德县一个杂草丛生的郊区变为蝴蝶保护区、发起Bring Butterflies Back运动以及在自己的高中建立了蝴蝶花园，激励更多人加入到保护蝴蝶的行动中来。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. (Jurman认为蝴蝶在我们的生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。它们在食物链中处于非常低的位置，因此支持着许多依赖它们的不同物种。它们是环境健康状况的指示物种。一旦它们消失，其他物种也将很快随之灭绝)”可知，第2段主要介绍蝴蝶在自然界中的重要性。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. (Jurman的目标是改造佛罗里达州布劳沃德县的景观，将杂草丛生的郊区变成一个充满活力的蝴蝶保护区，而当前全球昆虫数量正在迅速减少。Jurman认为，每种植下的花都是毛毛虫和蝴蝶潜在的家园和食物来源。他通过研究蝴蝶偏爱的不同植物，最终在自家后院打造了一个对蝴蝶友好的花园。他已经从自己的花园中饲养并放飞了5000多只蝴蝶)”可知，Jurman建蝴蝶友好花园的目的是增加蝴蝶的数量。故选B。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. (他说，很多人对昆虫以如此惊人的速度减少感到惊讶，这主要是因为这种减少是如此的缓慢和渐进。这种被称为“基准漂移理论”的现象有助于解释为什么人们不愿意采取有意义的行动来保护环境)”可知，基准漂移理论描述的是人们对环境的逐渐变化缺乏察觉，因此不能及时采取行动保护环境。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. (Jurman说：“我不知道我们是否还能恢复到曾经与蝴蝶共处的那种状态，但我认为，如果每个人都参与进来，开始建造自己的花园，他们就能产生自己的影响。”)”可知，尽管未来充满不确定性，Jurman仍将继续坚持下去。故选C。 C It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South. Such familiar examples fool us into assuming that other major inventions were also responses to perceived needs. In fact, most inventions were developed by people driven by curiosity or by a love of tinkering (捣鼓). Once a device had been invented, the inventor then had to find an application for it. Only after it had been in use for a considerable time did consumers come to feel that they “needed” it. Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa. A good example is the history of the motor vehicle which was not invented in response to any demand. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was weak, heavy, and seven feet tall. Thirty years later, he built the first truck. But it was a time when horse wagons and steam-powered railroads dominated transportation. Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries. Inventors often have to insist on their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it. Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) driving trains and boats. 28. Why is Eli Whitney mentioned by the writer in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To deny a statement. C. To clarify a doubt. D. To illustrate a view. 29. What led to the wide use of motor vehicles according to the text? A. The improvement of engine performance. B. The end of World War I. C. The need of the military during war time. D. The decline of horse-drawn wagons. 30. What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Absence of public demand. B. Bad performance of early models. C. A lack of time and expense. D. Awful looks of previous inventions. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention B. Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress C. Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention D. General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了传统认识“需要是发明之母”的正确性，认为发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”。也就是说，当一个社会有一种未被满足的需求时，发明就会出现。相当多的发明确实属于这一类。例如，1794年，Eli Whitney发明了轧棉机，以取代美国南部种植的棉花的手工清洗)”可知，以Eli Whitney发明轧棉机为例，就是为了阐释“需求是发明之母”这一观点，所以是用其来举例说明观点。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries.(公众对这两种交通工具的满意度一直很高，直到第一次世界大战，军队得出结论，他们确实需要卡车，这最终使卡车成为工业化国家马车的替代品)”可知，是军队的需要推动了机动车的流行。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Inventors often have to persist at their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it.(在没有公众需求的情况下，发明家通常不得不长时间坚持他们的修理, 因为早期模型的性能太差而无法使用。例如，第一台相机、打字机和电视机与 Otto的7英尺高的燃气发动机一样糟糕。这使得发明家很难预见他或她糟糕的原型最终是否会找到用途，从而投入更多的时间和费用来开发它)”可知，That指代的就是前面提到的早期模型性能差这一情况。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”)”以及第二段中 “Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa.(因此，发明往往是必要性之母, 而不是反过来)”以及最后一段中“Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) propelling trains and boats.(即使是满足最初设计需求的发明，也可能在后来证明在满足不可预见的需求方面更有价值。虽然詹姆斯·瓦特设计了他的蒸汽机从矿井中抽水，但它很快就为棉纺厂提供动力，然后（利润更大）推动火车和船只)”可知，本文强调发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。C 选项“超越需求：对发明的好奇追求” 能很好地概括文章主旨，故选C项。 D Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions (排放). This dream may soon be a reality. A team of students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that not only doesn’t produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air. The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 32 students at Eindhoven University of Technology. Called “ZEM”, which stands for “zero emission mobility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. That’s not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge. ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained: the car’s frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEM’s battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: it can be charged with solar panels on the car’s roof—and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn’t on the road. According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020—and of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%. The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too. 32. What is special about ZEM? A. It can end the world’s CO2 release. B. It can cut the truck’s CO2 emissions. C. It can reduce the level of CO2 in the air. D. It can absorb dirty air as well as CO2. 33. Why does the team run the calculation of ZEM in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate a superb vision of ZEM cars. B. To explain how ZEM removes CO2 as trees do. C. To illustrate the ongoing change in car making. D. To show the influence of ZEM on the car market. 34. What do we know about all the components of ZEM? A. They are of high quality. B. They are easy to process. C. They are convenient to print. D. They are environmentally friendly. 35. What does the Eindhoven team hope to achieve in the future? A. Sharp decline in fuel consumption. B. Mass production of ZEM cars. C. Big success in beating other car makers. D. Dramatic changes in transportation. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰的一个学生团队发明了一种叫做ZEM的电动汽车，这种汽车不仅在驾驶时不产生二氧化碳，而且实际上可以从空气中提取二氧化碳。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Called “ZEM”, which stands for “zero emission mobility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives.(这种汽车被称为“ZEM”，意思是“零排放机动性”，它配备了特殊装置，在行驶过程中可以去除空气中的二氧化碳。)”可知，ZEM的特殊之处在于它能降低空气中的二氧化碳含量。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二中“The team says if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. That’s not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. (研究小组说，如果ZEM行驶约32000公里，它可以从空气中清除2公斤的二氧化碳。这不是很多。研究小组计算出，10辆ZEM汽车在公路上一年清除的二氧化碳排放量相当于一棵普通树一年吸收二氧化碳的量。)”可推知，研究团队在第二段计算ZEM吸收二氧化碳的量是为了表明对ZEM汽车的美好憧憬，故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained: the car’s frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEM’s battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: it can be charged with solar panels on the car’s roof—and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn’t on the road.(ZEM还有其他一些创新，有助于使其更具可持续性: 汽车的车架和面板是3D打印的，以减少浪费；它使用可循环回收利用的材料制造；它可以很容易地拆卸，其中许多部件可以重复使用。ZEM的电池也是可重复使用的，而且还有一个方便的特点: 它可以用车顶上的太阳能电池板充电，甚至可以在汽车不在路上的时候为你的房子提供电力。)”可知，ZEM的所有零部件都是环保的，故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too.(Eindhoven的研究小组表示，他们的目标是挑战电动汽车行业：如果32名学生能在不到一年的时间里制造出这样一辆汽车，那么汽车制造商肯定也会采用这些创新。)”可知，Eindhoven团队的目标是挑战电动汽车行业，由此可推知，Eindhoven希望在未来实现ZEM汽车的大量生产，故选B。 第二节：(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The holidays are upon us, and as the end of the year draws ever closer, millions of people will visit friends and relatives. ___36___, especially if your guests don’t know how to read body language and refuse to leave.

Don’t be afraid to place a sign in the entryway with a list of house rules if they’ re important to you.(你的家就是你的城堡，显然你可以制定规则。如果有什么对你来说很重要，比如要求客人脱鞋，你应该明确说明，以免产生误解。如果这些规则对你很重要，不要害怕在入口处张贴一份家规清单。)”可知，要说明主人可以在家里制定自己的规则，并让客人明确知道。选项C“Show the rules that are important to you(展示对你来说重要的规则)”能概括本段内容，适合作为小标题。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Your own bedroom, the master bathroom, and any room you don’t want people to enter for any reason can be marked.(你自己的卧室、主浴室，以及任何你出于某种原因不想让别人进入的房间都可以做标记。)”可知，上文指出要让客人清楚这些是私人区域。选项F“Don’t be afraid to lock a door or put up a sign to make this very clear(不要害怕锁门或张贴标志来明确这一点)”符合语境，进一步说明如何让客人明确私人区域。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“It’s doubtful that your relatives or dear friends have come to your holiday gathering as part of a well-designed plan to rob you. (你的亲戚或挚友不太可能是精心策划来你家聚会并抢劫你的)”以及下文“stuff gets knocked over, pushed over the edge of a table or dresser, or picked up and put down in an unexpected spot. (东西可能会被碰倒、从桌子或梳妆台上推落，或者被拿起后放在意想不到的地方)”可知，虽然不太可能是故意抢劫，但意外可能会发生。选项A“But accidents happen(但意外会发生)”符合语境，引出下文关于意外情况的描述。故选A。 第三部分：语言运用(共三节，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。 Not long after I started my journalism career, I realized I was desiring some slow, little adventure — the kind that required minimal planning, no stress, and plenty of ___41___ time.

Travelers rushed by, each with their own destinations, their own stories. Yet I sat there, still and purposeless. My suitcase rested beside me, but unlike everyone else, I had no destination. I had left my hometown, tired of the never-ending routine, but the escape I had longed for brought no relief. Instead, it left me alone, separated from a world I once believed I understood. The noise, the people, the announcements - all of it seemed distant, as though I were watching life happen from behind a glass wall. As I stared aimlessly, a wrinkled old man walked past me, pushing an overloaded cart of junk. He paused a few feet away, scanning the area, before sitting down cross-legged on the floor near me. His clothes were muddy, and his hands looked roughened by years of hard work. I watched as he reached into his cart and pulled out a harmonica (口琴), pressing it to his lips. The first note was shaky, but soon a simple, beautiful melody (旋律) filled the air. Strangely, the chaotic station grew quieter, as though his music had worked magic. At first, I felt confused - why here, and why now? But as I watched him play, I noticed something remarkable. His face lit up, not with joy exactly, but with a deep contentment that seemed out of place in his circumstances. People started slowing down to listen. A young girl tugged at her mother's coat, wanting to stay. A businessman, hurriedly checking his phone, paused to drop a coin in the old man’s hat. It struck me how a man with so little could share so much. 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。 With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment. As I neared, his melody softened, and he looked up with a gentle smile. “Beautiful tune, ” I said, unsure how to begin. He nodded, his hands resting on the harmonica. “Music doesn’t fix everything, but it reminds me there’s still beauty in the world, ” he said. I hesitated, then shared my struggle - the feeling of being lost, the weight of purposelessness. “Life isn’t about having all the answers, ” he added. “It’s about finding meaning, even in the little things. That’s what keeps me going. ” After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase. The old man’s words stayed with me, urging me to stop running and start creating purpose. Dropping a coin in his hat, I thanked him - not just for the music, but for the wisdom. As I boarded the train, the station no longer felt chaotic but alive with possibilities. This time I was resolved to push forward. The uncertainty ahead no longer frightened me. Instead, it felt like a blank canvas waiting to be painted, a melody waiting to be played. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在火车站迷茫无助时，被一位演奏口琴的老人所吸引，并从中找到了希望和启示的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我犹豫了一下，走近老人，想知道他满足根源。”可知，第一段可描写作者与老人的对话，老人分享了自己对生活的态度和看法。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到他说的话后，当我伸手去拿自己的行李箱时，我感到一丝希望。”可知，第二段可描写作者听完老人的话后的感悟，以及决定重新找回生活的目标和方向。 2.续写线索：接近老人——询问他的满足感来源——老人分享自己的故事——受到启发——找回生活的希望——准备踏上旅程。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/come close to/draw near ②放下：drop/put down/lay down ③登上（火车）：board/get on/step onto 情绪类 ①混乱的： chaotic /disorderly ②害怕的： frightened/scared 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I neared, his melody softened, and he looked up with a gentle smile.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I boarded the train, the station no longer felt chaotic but alive with possibilities.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是2024学年第一学期温州市高二期末教学质量统一检测英语试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，做题时请先将答案划在试卷上，该部分录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卷上。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。Excuse me, can you tell me how much . the shirt is? nine? fifteen? 你将有5秒钟的时间将正确答案标在试卷上。衬衫的价格为九磅15便士，所以你选择C项并将其标在试卷上。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。It's pouring outside.

Let me introduce you to a tale of inspiration that started with a single light bulb moment and turned into one movement. I am talking about Daniel web and his project, everyday plastic. Daniel moved to the coastal town in two thousand and sixteen and was shocked to learn that there were no recycling the options offered at his new home. With no way to deal with plastic responsibly, he decided to conduct an experiment. He would collect all of his plastic waste. For one year, he worked with a scientist to look at the plastic he collected and learned a lot about how much plastic he used. This experiment changed his life, and that's how everyday plastic started. Now Daniel wants to help people see how they can make a difference with plastic. This project shows that anyone can do something about plastic waste, no matter who they are or how old they are. Now lets give a round of applause for Daniel web, who turned a small town problem into a nationwide movement against plastic pollution. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to face to face today.

He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The significance of butterflies in nature. B. The potential danger to butterflies. C. The competition between species. D. The food web of insects. 25. Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden? A. To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B. To boost the quantity of butterflies. C. To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D. To enhance the beauty of his backyard. 26. Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory? A. The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. B People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment. C. The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. D. The impact of human activities on insect habitats. 27 What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph? A. He is enthusiastic about gardening. B. He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts. C. He will carry on despite an uncertain future. D. He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies. C It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South. Such familiar examples fool us into assuming that other major inventions were also responses to perceived needs. In fact, most inventions were developed by people driven by curiosity or by a love of tinkering (捣鼓). Once a device had been invented, the inventor then had to find an application for it. Only after it had been in use for a considerable time did consumers come to feel that they “needed” it. Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa. A good example is the history of the motor vehicle which was not invented in response to any demand. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was weak, heavy, and seven feet tall. Thirty years later, he built the first truck. But it was a time when horse wagons and steam-powered railroads dominated transportation. Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries. Inventors often have to insist on their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it. Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) driving trains and boats. 28. Why is Eli Whitney mentioned by the writer in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To deny a statement. C. To clarify a doubt. D. To illustrate a view. 29. What led to the wide use of motor vehicles according to the text? A. The improvement of engine performance. B. The end of World War I. C The need of the military during war time. D. The decline of horse-drawn wagons. 30. What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Absence of public demand. B. Bad performance of early models. C. A lack of time and expense. D. Awful looks of previous inventions. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention B. Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress C. Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention D. General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention D Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions (排放). This dream may soon be a reality. A team of students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that not only doesn’t produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air. The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 32 students at Eindhoven University of Technology. Called “ZEM”, which stands for “zero emission mobility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. That’s not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge. ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained: the car’s frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEM’s battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: it can be charged with solar panels on the car’s roof—and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn’t on the road. According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020—and of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%. The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too. 32. What is special about ZEM? A. It can end the world’s CO2 release. B. It can cut the truck’s CO2 emissions. C. It can reduce the level of CO2 in the air. D. It can absorb dirty air as well as CO2. 33. Why does the team run the calculation of ZEM in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate a superb vision of ZEM cars. B. To explain how ZEM removes CO2 as trees do. C. To illustrate the ongoing change in car making. D. To show the influence of ZEM on the car market. 34. What do we know about all the components of ZEM? A. They are of high quality. B. They are easy to process. C. They are convenient to print. D. They are environmentally friendly. 35. What does the Eindhoven team hope to achieve in the future? A. Sharp decline in fuel consumption. B. Mass production of ZEM cars. C. Big success in beating other car makers. D. Dramatic changes in transportation. 第二节：(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The holidays are upon us, and as the end of the year draws ever closer, millions of people will visit friends and relatives. ___36___, especially if your guests don’t know how to read body language and refuse to leave.

Travelers rushed by, each with their own destinations, their own stories. Yet I sat there, still and purposeless. My suitcase rested beside me, but unlike everyone else, I had no destination. I had left my hometown, tired of the never-ending routine, but the escape I had longed for brought no relief. Instead, it left me alone, separated from a world I once believed I understood. The noise, the people, the announcements - all of it seemed distant, as though I were watching life happen from behind a glass wall. As I stared aimlessly, a wrinkled old man walked past me, pushing an overloaded cart of junk. He paused a few feet away, scanning the area, before sitting down cross-legged on the floor near me. His clothes were muddy, and his hands looked roughened by years of hard work. I watched as he reached into his cart and pulled out a harmonica (口琴), pressing it to his lips. The first note was shaky, but soon a simple, beautiful melody (旋律) filled the air. Strangely, the chaotic station grew quieter, as though his music had worked magic. At first, I felt confused - why here, and why now? But as I watched him play, I noticed something remarkable. His face lit up, not with joy exactly, but with a deep contentment that seemed out of place in his circumstances. People started slowing down to listen. A young girl tugged at her mother's coat, wanting to stay. A businessman, hurriedly checking his phone, paused to drop a coin in the old man’s hat. It struck me how a man with so little could share so much. 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。 With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
