Those who make it along for the opening weekend will be able to enjoy free events, including guided walks, tours of the tree nursery, storytelling sessions, plenty of fun for kids, and activities led by naturalist Nick Baker and expert in tracks and signs, Dan Puplett. We looked around the new architect-designed center. The building has a number of sustainable features, including solar panels and reclaimed wood furniture in the café area. This is one of two new buildings, the other of which is said to offer accessible accommodation for those who wish to come for a longer rewilding experience. Entering the building, the first thing that we saw was a sculpture — the work of local artist Helen Denerley. The sculpture depicts a tree with many native animals within it, made from reclaimed metal. From here, we saw the other areas — classrooms, event spaces, the café and lively information panels throughout, giving information about rewilding, the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems, local wildlife, and more. As our guide so rightly pointed out, the building is just the jumping-off point — the place from which people can branch out to discover so much more on a series of accessible trails and more adventurous hikes in the surrounding landscape. One key focus for this project is definitely community, as well as rewilding. It celebrates local Gaelic heritage and history as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural wonders. Speaking briefly with two friendly and welcoming employees working in the café who were among the 20 locals who have new jobs thanks to the project, their enthusiasm for the new center and excitement to be involved in getting it off the ground shone through. 4. What did the author do at Dundreggan? A. She toured a new building. B. She held storytelling sessions. C. She joined a naturalist-led activity. D. She attended an opening celebration. 5. What feature does the rewilding center highlight? A. Wildness and adventure. B. Efficiency and attractiveness. C Accessibility and simplicity. D. Sustainability and instructiveness. 6. What conclusion can we draw about the guide? A. He believed the project could inspire more actions. B. He was enthusiastic about protecting native animals. C. He advocated more informed decisions about rewilding. D. He showed concern over developing the surrounding landscapes. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prospect of the project. B. The significance of the project. C. The recent achievements of the project. D. The operational principle of the project. C If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱) !” to one another right now. That’s owing to the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a dedicated entrance. This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of exhibition, presentation and interpretation it deserves. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due. “People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’ ”, said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be distracted (分散注意力) by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. “The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. 8. Why is Mona Lisa being moved to a new space in the Louvre? A. To make room for an exhibition. B. To make it convenient for experts to study it. C. To improve its exhibition conditions and reduce overcrowding. D. To highlight its importance as the world's most famous artwork. 9. What is Souleymane’s attitude towards the government’s announcement? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Cooperative. D. Dismissive. 10. Which of the following paintings is exhibited opposite to Mona Lisa? A. Pastoral Concert. B. The Coronation of the Virgin. C. The Wedding Feast at Cana. D. Man with a Glove. 11. What does Compagnon imply about Mona Lisa? A. It deserves better protection. B. It fails to live up to its fame. C. It should be promoted through lectures. D. It takes visitors’ attention away from other exhibits. D When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere, a growing threat to wildlife. Mercury, a poisonous by-product of gold mining, becomes more and more in the food chain and affects animals’ nervous systems. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring. Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels. The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research. Marine scientist Miriam Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators (捕食性动物), and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season. Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says. 12. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected? A. He kept them as a reminder of his trip. B. He studied the content of a chemical in them. C. He observed their changes in different environments. D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins. 13. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Recognize. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Combine. 14. What do we know about penguins from the text? A. They are ideal bioindicators. B They are sensitive to carbon-13. C. They are top-level predators in the food chain. D. They are free from the effects of human activities. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Life Cycle of Penguins in Antarctica. B. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins. C. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations. D. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat. 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。 New years are often seen as new beginnings. ____16____ They were afraid that the start of the new millennium (千年) would bring disaster. Before January 1, 2000, newspapers and TV shows often talked about something that became known as the “Y2K bug” or the “millennium bug”. People worried there would be big problems when clocks on computers went from December 31, 1999 to the year 2000. This was because many computers used just two digits to record the year. ____17____ But how would computers cope with “00” — would they think it was 2000 or would they take it as 1900 and stop working? Some people thought this could mean that lights would go out across the world as computers failed. ____18____ Governments spent hundreds of billions of dollars planning for possible problems and replacing old systems with new ones that used four-digit dates. The US alone spent $100 billion. But some countries did almost nothing. And when midnight came on December 31, planes didn't fall out of the sky and the lights didn't go out. Most of the problems were quite small. ____19____ In Ishikawa, Japan, some equipment failed at a nuclear facility — although backup systems made sure there was no danger. And a group of over 150 pregnant women in the UK were given wrong information about their babies' health because their hospitals' computer systems got their birth dates wrong. But some people said the worries — and all that money — had been for nothing. ____20____ They said those months of planning helped avoid big problems. And they expressed concern that our reliance on technology would make us vulnerable (易受伤害的) to similar problems in the future. A. But some were bigger. B. Many experts didn’t agree. C. So, 1988 was just “88” and 1999 was “99”. D. But 25 years ago, many people became worried. E. And they didn't cause much loss to important facilities. F. Insiders suggested people stay calm and unload unnecessary programs. G. Perhaps software at banks, airports and hospitals would stop working too. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My family recently moved from America to Italy.

Her dream finally came true. She took out an old greyish dress from her suitcase, her mind flooded by memories of the days when her mother saved money for her education. Yollie’s mother, Mrs Moreno, was a woman with a unique sense of humor. As a single mother, she supported the family by working at the local market. She didn’t earn much money, but she was always positive and had her own way to provide for Yollie and at the same time saved as much money as possible. Her ways were not always clever ones, though, among which an embarrassing one stood out in Yollie’s memory. Yollie was a smart kid at Saint Theresa’s High School. She was the winner of the school’s spelling bees. Mrs Moreno encouraged her daughter to study hard, hoping Yollie would realize her dream of becoming a doctor one day. She provided Yollie with a desk, typewriter, and a lamp to protect her eyes from long hours of studying. One day, Yollie needed a new black outfit for the eighth-grade fall dance, but unluckily, their old car had already cost them nearly a hundred dollars in repairs. Mrs Moreno didn’t have much to spend on the outfit so she decided to buy Yollie a pair of black shoes and fabric dye (染料) to turn her white summer dress black. At first Yollie doubted her mother’s idea. However, to her surprise, the dress turned out shiny and sophisticated (精致的) after being dyed. She was excited to go to the dance. The dance was romantic, with paper lanterns swinging in the trees and creating a scene straight out of a movie. Yollie enjoyed dancing with her friends under the lanterns until rain began to fall. Disaster struck when Yollie’s dyed dress started to leak black dye, ruining her outfit. In embarrassment, she ran home through the storm. 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。 Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 吕梁市2025年高三年级第二次模拟考试 英语试题 2025.4 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.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，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。 例： How much is the shirt?

Those who make it along for the opening weekend will be able to enjoy free events, including guided walks, tours of the tree nursery, storytelling sessions, plenty of fun for kids, and activities led by naturalist Nick Baker and expert in tracks and signs, Dan Puplett. We looked around the new architect-designed center. The building has a number of sustainable features, including solar panels and reclaimed wood furniture in the café area. This is one of two new buildings, the other of which is said to offer accessible accommodation for those who wish to come for a longer rewilding experience. Entering the building, the first thing that we saw was a sculpture — the work of local artist Helen Denerley. The sculpture depicts a tree with many native animals within it, made from reclaimed metal. From here, we saw the other areas — classrooms, event spaces, the café and lively information panels throughout, giving information about rewilding, the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems, local wildlife, and more. As our guide so rightly pointed out, the building is just the jumping-off point — the place from which people can branch out to discover so much more on a series of accessible trails and more adventurous hikes in the surrounding landscape. One key focus for this project is definitely community, as well as rewilding. It celebrates local Gaelic heritage and history as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural wonders. Speaking briefly with two friendly and welcoming employees working in the café who were among the 20 locals who have new jobs thanks to the project, their enthusiasm for the new center and excitement to be involved in getting it off the ground shone through. 4. What did the author do at Dundreggan? A. She toured a new building. B. She held storytelling sessions. C. She joined a naturalist-led activity. D. She attended an opening celebration. 5. What feature does the rewilding center highlight? A. Wildness and adventure. B. Efficiency and attractiveness. C. Accessibility and simplicity. D. Sustainability and instructiveness. 6. What conclusion can we draw about the guide? A. He believed the project could inspire more actions. B. He was enthusiastic about protecting native animals. C. He advocated more informed decisions about rewilding. D. He showed concern over developing the surrounding landscapes. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prospect of the project. B. The significance of the project. C. The recent achievements of the project. D. The operational principle of the project. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7.

(正如我们的导游所指出的那样，这座建筑只是一个起点——人们可以从这里出发，在一系列无障碍小径和周围景观中更冒险的徒步旅行中发现更多)”可推断出，导游认为这个项目是一个起点，能够激发人们更多的行动。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“One key focus for this project is definitely community, as well as rewilding. It celebrates local Gaelic heritage and history as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural wonders. Speaking briefly with two friendly and welcoming employees working in the café who were among the 20 locals who have new jobs thanks to the project, their enthusiasm for the new center and excitement to be involved in getting it off the ground shone through. (这个项目的一个关键重点肯定是社区，以及重新造林。它庆祝当地的盖尔文化遗产和历史，以及野生动物、林地和自然奇观。与在咖啡馆工作的两名友好热情的员工简短交谈，他们是20名因该项目而获得新工作的当地人之一，他们对新中心的热情和参与项目启动的兴奋之情溢于言表)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了项目的重要意义。故选B。 C If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk, they might be whispering “Good riddance (解脱) !” to one another right now. That’s owing to the French government’s announcement that the world’s most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a dedicated entrance. This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of exhibition, presentation and interpretation it deserves. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due. “People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’ ”, said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be distracted (分散注意力) by Mona Lisa.” The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. “The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. 8. Why is Mona Lisa being moved to a new space in the Louvre? A. To make room for an exhibition. B. To make it convenient for experts to study it. C. To improve its exhibition conditions and reduce overcrowding. D. To highlight its importance as the world's most famous artwork. 9. What is Souleymane’s attitude towards the government’s announcement? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Cooperative. D. Dismissive. 10. Which of the following paintings is exhibited opposite to Mona Lisa? A. Pastoral Concert. B. The Coronation of the Virgin. C. The Wedding Feast at Cana. D. Man with a Glove. 11. What does Compagnon imply about Mona Lisa? A. It deserves better protection. B. It fails to live up to its fame. C. It should be promoted through lectures. D. It takes visitors’ attention away from other exhibits. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了法国政府宣布将世界著名画作《蒙娜丽莎》从卢浮宫的大画廊移至单独空间展示，此举旨在改善其展览条件，缓解卢浮宫的过度拥挤问题，同时也能让大画廊中的其他艺术品得到应有的关注。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow Mona Lisa’s conditions of exhibition, presentation and interpretation it deserves. The move that aims to relieve the Louvre’s overcrowding problem isn’t just great for Mona Lisa. (这个特殊的空间，可以独立于博物馆的其他部分进入，将给予《蒙娜丽莎》应有的展览、展示和解读条件。这一旨在缓解卢浮宫过度拥挤问题的举措不仅对《蒙娜丽莎》有好处。)”可知，将《蒙娜丽莎》移至新空间一是为了改善它的展览条件，二是为了缓解卢浮宫的拥挤问题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““People have just been coming to check their ‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa’s box’ ”, said Souleymane, a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection. “And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be distracted (分散注意力) by Mona Lisa.” (哥伦比亚大学法国文学与哲学教授苏莱曼在 2024 年被该博物馆任命进行一系列关于其艺术收藏的讲座，他说：“人们只是来打卡‘我参观了《蒙娜丽莎》的展柜’。而且即使你去那个房间是想看其他画作，你也会被《蒙娜丽莎》分散注意力。”)”可知，苏莱曼认为《蒙娜丽莎》的存在影响了其他画作被关注，所以他对政府将《蒙娜丽莎》移走的决定是赞成的，因为这样其他画作能得到应有的关注。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The other major paintings in the space include Titian’s Pastoral Concert, Tintoretto’s The Coronation of the Virgin, and Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which is a huge painting that people don’t look at because it’s on the wall that faces Mona Lisa. (这个空间里的其他主要画作包括提香的《田园音乐会》、丁托列托的《圣母加冕》和委罗内塞的《加纳的婚礼》，这是一幅巨大的画作，人们不看它是因为它在正对着《蒙娜丽莎》的墙上。)”可知，在《蒙娜丽莎》对面展出的画作是《加纳的婚礼》。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,” said Compagnon, a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University. Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room, Titian’s Man with a Glove. (“《加纳的婚礼》是卢浮宫的珍宝之一，”法国高等师范学院和哥伦比亚大学的教授孔帕尼翁说道。孔帕尼翁也很期待参观者能够关注到房间里他最喜欢的画作——提香的《戴手套的男人》。)”可知，康帕尼翁和苏莱曼的观点类似，都认为《蒙娜丽莎》吸引了太多游客的注意力，使得其他画作得不到关注，康帕尼翁很期待游客能关注到其他画作，这暗示了《蒙娜丽莎》分散了游客对其他展品的注意力。故选D项。 D When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers. A decade later, Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere, a growing threat to wildlife. Mercury, a poisonous by-product of gold mining, becomes more and more in the food chain and affects animals’ nervous systems. While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring. Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers, which they molt (换羽) regularly. Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury. They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13, which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed (繁殖). The study confirmed this pattern across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean, revealing higher mercury exposure in northern, warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels. The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants. By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment. For example, penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns. These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research. Marine scientist Miriam Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators (捕食性动物), and undergo dramatic molts, making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals. The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season. Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins’ blood and their food with those in their feathers. As for the penguins’ health, senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels. “The penguins will be okay,” he says. 12. How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected? A. He kept them as a reminder of his trip. B. He studied the content of a chemical in them. C He observed their changes in different environments. D. He classified them to identify different species of penguins. 13. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Recognize. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Combine. 14. What do we know about penguins from the text? A. They are ideal bioindicators. B They are sensitive to carbon-13. C. They are top-level predators in the food chain. D. They are free from the effects of human activities. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Life Cycle of Penguins in Antarctica. B. Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins. C. The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations. D. Penguins Help Map Antarctica’s Growing Mercury Threat. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了菲利普·桑塔格(Philip Sontag)和他团队发现了如何利用企鹅羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图，汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight, tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring.(虽然对岩石或土壤中的汞进行采样只能提供有限的见解，但追踪汞在食物网中的存在对生态系统监测至关重要。)”以及第三段“Sontag, now a polar researcher at Rutgers University, and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury.(桑塔格现在是罗格斯大学的极地研究员，他和他的团队分析了这些脱落的羽毛，以确定企鹅是在哪里接触到汞的。)”可知，桑塔格研究了他收集的企鹅羽毛中的化学物质含量。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“By measuring mercury in feathers, scientists can track the metal’s movement through the oceanic food web over time, rather than just at a single moment.(通过测量羽毛中的汞含量，科学家们可以追踪金属在海洋食物网中的长期运动，而不仅仅是在一个单一的时刻)”和第五段末“The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the nonbreeding season.(脱落的羽毛中含有汞，在非繁殖季节会进入它们的身体)”及划线处后面“…which they molt (换羽) regularly.(它们会定期换羽)”可知，企鹅羽毛中含汞，而企鹅换羽的习性，可以消除身体内的汞。由此可知，dispose of指的是企鹅通过换羽去除体内积累的汞，与remove(移除，消除，摆脱)意思相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators, living trackers of environmental pollutants.(研究结果表明，企鹅可以作为生物指示器，是环境污染物的生活追踪者。)”可知，企鹅是理想的生物指示器。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a Ph. D. student, he collected a bag of penguin (企鹅) feathers.

Before January 1, 2000, newspapers and TV shows often talked about something that became known as the “Y2K bug” or the “millennium bug”. People worried there would be big problems when clocks on computers went from December 31, 1999 to the year 2000. This was because many computers used just two digits to record the year. ____17____ But how would computers cope with “00” — would they think it was 2000 or would they take it as 1900 and stop working? Some people thought this could mean that lights would go out across the world as computers failed. ____18____ Governments spent hundreds of billions of dollars planning for possible problems and replacing old systems with new ones that used four-digit dates. The US alone spent $100 billion. But some countries did almost nothing. And when midnight came on December 31, planes didn't fall out of the sky and the lights didn't go out. Most of the problems were quite small. ____19____ In Ishikawa, Japan, some equipment failed at a nuclear facility — although backup systems made sure there was no danger. And a group of over 150 pregnant women in the UK were given wrong information about their babies' health because their hospitals' computer systems got their birth dates wrong. But some people said the worries — and all that money — had been for nothing. ____20____ They said those months of planning helped avoid big problems. And they expressed concern that our reliance on technology would make us vulnerable (易受伤害的) to similar problems in the future. A. But some were bigger. B. Many experts didn’t agree. C. So, 1988 was just “88” and 1999 was “99”. D. But 25 years ago, many people became worried. E. And they didn't cause much loss to important facilities. F. Insiders suggested people stay calm and unload unnecessary programs. G. Perhaps software at banks, airports and hospitals would stop working too. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. A 20.

Her dream finally came true. She took out an old greyish dress from her suitcase, her mind flooded by memories of the days when her mother saved money for her education. Yollie’s mother, Mrs Moreno, was a woman with a unique sense of humor. As a single mother, she supported the family by working at the local market. She didn’t earn much money, but she was always positive and had her own way to provide for Yollie and at the same time saved as much money as possible. Her ways were not always clever ones, though, among which an embarrassing one stood out in Yollie’s memory. Yollie was a smart kid at Saint Theresa’s High School. She was the winner of the school’s spelling bees. Mrs Moreno encouraged her daughter to study hard, hoping Yollie would realize her dream of becoming a doctor one day. She provided Yollie with a desk, typewriter, and a lamp to protect her eyes from long hours of studying. One day, Yollie needed a new black outfit for the eighth-grade fall dance, but unluckily, their old car had already cost them nearly a hundred dollars in repairs. Mrs Moreno didn’t have much to spend on the outfit so she decided to buy Yollie a pair of black shoes and fabric dye (染料) to turn her white summer dress black. At first Yollie doubted her mother’s idea. However, to her surprise, the dress turned out shiny and sophisticated (精致的) after being dyed. She was excited to go to the dance. The dance was romantic, with paper lanterns swinging in the trees and creating a scene straight out of a movie. Yollie enjoyed dancing with her friends under the lanterns until rain began to fall. Disaster struck when Yollie’s dyed dress started to leak black dye, ruining her outfit. In embarrassment, she ran home through the storm. 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。 Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mrs Moreno was shocked at the sight of Yollie, but she quickly got her sense of humor at work in just seconds. “Get changed and give the dress a wash. Let’s see what color it will turn,” she said. Yollie broke into laughter, replying, “Greyish, I think. Maybe grey will be in fashion next year.” Yollie got changed and put the dress into the washing machine. When they took it out, they were disappointed that it was an ugly greyish color. “Sorry dear, if you want to wear it again, I will have to dye it black,” Mrs Moreno joked. “I’d better choose a fine day to wear it,” Yollie said giggling. From then on, Yollie took the ugly dress with her wherever she went. It was a reminder of her mother’s struggle to bring her up, a reminder of Mom’s positiveness towards challenges in life and a reminder of the days when life could be hard but never dull. She knew deep in her heart that she owed everything to her mother, who worked hard, saved and gave her the best education. She decided to dye it black again so that she would be able to put it on and fly home to share with Mom the happiness of graduation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了尤莉毕业那天回忆起母亲为教育存钱的日子，尤莉由单身母亲抚养长大，她在圣特蕾莎高中是个聪明的孩子。一天，约莉需要一套新的黑色衣服去参加八年级的秋季舞会，但是母亲没钱，所以她决定给尤莉买一双黑鞋和布料染料，把她的白色夏装染成黑色。结果舞会当天下了雨，裙子开始掉色，最后变成了灰色，尤莉尴尬地穿过暴风雨跑回家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“莫雷诺夫人看到尤莉时很震惊，但她很快就在几秒钟内找到了幽默感。”可知，第一段可描写母女俩关于裙子的有趣对话，以及母亲积极人生态度影响了尤莉。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，尤莉无论走到哪里都带着那条丑裙子。”可知，第二段可描写裙子带给她的感悟，以及尤莉想赶紧回家和妈妈分享毕业的快乐。 2.续写线索：裙子掉色，母亲震惊——母亲幽默化解——母亲积极人生态度影响了尤莉——带着丑裙子——尤莉感悟——想赶紧回家和妈妈分享毕业的快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回答：reply/respond ②抚养：bring up/raise/foster ③决定：decide/resolve 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/despondent ②快乐：happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] “Get changed and give the dress a wash.
