And the world owes some of its strangest buildings to the masterminds of unconventional architects. Here are some of them. Cubic Houses, Rotterdam, Netherlands The Cubic Houses are an architectural wonder located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. They were designed and constructed by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s. Blom was asked by Rotterdam town planners to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge. They’re cubes (立方形) situated in different angles over hexagonal poles (柱), so they look like trees and altogether make a forest. There are 38 small cubes and they are all attached to each other. National Centre for the Performing Arts, China The National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA), described as The Giant Egg, is an arts center in Beijing, China. The construction started in December 2001 and it took almost 6 years to complete. The building is surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000㎡ in size. As one of the strangest buildings, it was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Forest Spiral, Germany The Forest Spiral is a residential (住宅的) building complex in Darmstadt, Germany. It was designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and constructed by the Bauverein Darmstadt company. The building was completed in 2000. It’s a really amazing building with a green roof, resembling a spiral(螺旋). Habitat 67, Montreal, Canada Habitat 67, a housing complex in Montreal, Canada, was designed by Israeli — Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. Habitat 67 resembles a very interesting arrangement of cubes that kids play with. It looks so original and is a building completely stable and comfortable for living. 1. What makes the four buildings special? A. Their sizes. B. Their functions. C. Their appearances. D. Their building materials. 2. Which of the following buildings resemble trees? A. The Cubic Houses. B. The NCPA. C. The Forest Spiral. D. Habitat 67. 3. What do the Forest Spiral and Habitat 67 share? A. They look like cubes. B. They were built for living. C. They have a green roof. D. They were completed in 2000. B I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. C It is no accident that so many fairy tale characters find themselves having to cross dangerous areas of woodland. In a most practical sense, as the ancients dreamed up those stories and even when the oral traditions were finally written down in the middle ages and later, the lands of northern and western Europe were thick with woodland. The dangers were obvious: from robbers lying in wait for unsuspecting travelers to opportunistic wolves hungry for the kill. In many cultures, the forest is for god or ancestor worship. In An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols, JC Cooper writes, “Entering the Dark Forest or the Enchanted Forest is a threshold (门槛) symbol: the soul entering the dangers of the unknown; the world of death; the secrets of nature, or the spiritual world which man must go through to find the meaning.” The forest is a place of magic then, magic that can be dangerous, but also a place of opportunity and transformation. In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the merchant is directed by invisible forces within the forest to the Beast’s castle, only then to be directed by invisible hands to his fate. As for Little Red Riding Hood, straying from (偏离) the path and into the woods is similarly dangerous and filled with treachery (背叛). Symbolically, those who lose their way in the uncharted forest are losing their way in life, losing touch with their conscious selves and voyaging into the state of the subconscious. And yet, in legends such as Robin Hood, or the great Hindu love story of Rama and Sita, the forest becomes a hiding place. The forest provides refuge (庇护) for great heroes who after a period of hard time come back to fight for justice. Their time in the forest could perhaps be interpreted as a period of personal development. Today, still, woodland remains as a refuge from institutional order, from control and limitation of personal freedom. Forests are places full of mystery, where imagination and the subconscious can run free, where we can return to our original selves. 8. What does the author think of the woodland dangers in fairy tales? A. They are created without reasonable basis. B. They are a reflection of real-life dangers. C. They differ greatly from those in real life. D. They are apparent and can be easily avoided. 9 What does JC Cooper stress with her words in paragraph 2? A. The hidden dangers in the forest. B. The symbols in different cultures. C. The symbolic meaning of the forest. D. The educational functions of the forest. 10. The woodland plays the role of a shelter for the hero in ______. A. Rama and Sita B. Beauty and the Beast C. Little Red Riding Hood D. An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols 11. How is the text developed? A. By following time order. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining a principle. D There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the atmosphere, at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications. Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground. Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. The plant and tree material the process uses would release carbon if it wasn’t treated. And the cost is less than $100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet. Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. 12. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the first paragraph? A. Trees can purify the air in the sky. B. Plants release more carbon dioxide. C. Removing carbon from the air is challenging. D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed. 13. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated. 14. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project? A. Its cost is relatively low. B. It is in good operation now. C. Its working condition is demanding. D. It turns carbon into building materials. 15. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology? A. It will make a difference soon. B. It can replace renewable energy in time. C. It will result in more environmental concerns. D. It can work together with other climate measures. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once a niche (小众) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____16____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database you can check. Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____18____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants. ____19____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones! Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____20____ A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist. B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks. C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do? E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. 第三部分 　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had just finished walking my dog as it got dark.

Will, my son with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (孤独症), and I loved venturing off to the beach before dinner. The sun was still hot and shining bright. With a bucket in hand, we hit the sand and started our adventure. Will run quickly to the edge of the water before I got there, laughing as the waves nearly knocked him down. Will had spent many hours in therapy, helping him to overcome the many challenges he faced. The beach was now one of his favorite places to visit. I was thrilled, because it was a place where I felt at home and filled with peace, and I wanted to share that with Will. On this particular day, we walked along the edge of the water, looking for seashells to fill our bucket, but there didn’t seem to be too many shells on the shore. Will began picking up whatever shells he saw. After a while, I looked into the bucket and saw nothing but broken shells. “Will,” I said, “all of these shells are broken. You need to find shells like this,” I continued, as I held up a perfect seashell. Will gave me a puzzled look and continued gathering whatever shells he came upon and dropping them into the bucket. I continued my search, and stopped to watch him drop more broken shells into the bucket. Again, I asked, “Will, why do you insist on filling our bucket with broken shells?” He looked up at me, replying, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than the perfect ones.” True, I thought, but who wanted a bucketful of broken shells? Will stared at me as if he knew what I was thinking. “Mom, these shells are broken, but they’re still beautiful,” he added. Just then he reached his little hand into the bucket and pulled out the different shells and commented on their uniqueness. “This one is broken, but it has the color purple on it. Mom, none of yours have purple on them,” he said with pride. Paragraph 1: Astonished by Will’s words, I knelt down and took a closer look at the shells in the bucket. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Back home, we created a “broken seashell garden” in our yard with the “broken” seashells together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度第二学期高三第五次月考试题 英 语 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 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，写在试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.(我真的在等着收到一封信，看看周末过得怎么样，这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰)”可知，作者很喜欢收到妈妈的来信。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.(一夜之间，我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——一位在萨克拉门托的单身母亲，一个在堪萨斯州乡下被欺负的女孩……所有人都要求我给他们写一封信，给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由)”可知，信件对人们的安慰作用激发了作者发起这项活动。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”可知，为什么作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它开启了和陌生人的交谈。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.(所以，当我搬到纽约，被抑郁症打脸时，我做了我能想到的唯一一件事——像我母亲一样给陌生人写信。我把这些信写在博客上，并疯狂地承诺，无论谁让我写，我都会写一封手写的信)”以及倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”结合短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。故短文的最佳标题为“写给陌生人的信”。故选C项。 C It is no accident that so many fairy tale characters find themselves having to cross dangerous areas of woodland. In a most practical sense, as the ancients dreamed up those stories and even when the oral traditions were finally written down in the middle ages and later, the lands of northern and western Europe were thick with woodland. The dangers were obvious: from robbers lying in wait for unsuspecting travelers to opportunistic wolves hungry for the kill. In many cultures, the forest is for god or ancestor worship. In An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols, JC Cooper writes, “Entering the Dark Forest or the Enchanted Forest is a threshold (门槛) symbol: the soul entering the dangers of the unknown; the world of death; the secrets of nature, or the spiritual world which man must go through to find the meaning.” The forest is a place of magic then, magic that can be dangerous, but also a place of opportunity and transformation. In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the merchant is directed by invisible forces within the forest to the Beast’s castle, only then to be directed by invisible hands to his fate. As for Little Red Riding Hood, straying from (偏离) the path and into the woods is similarly dangerous and filled with treachery (背叛). Symbolically, those who lose their way in the uncharted forest are losing their way in life, losing touch with their conscious selves and voyaging into the state of the subconscious. And yet, in legends such as Robin Hood, or the great Hindu love story of Rama and Sita, the forest becomes a hiding place. The forest provides refuge (庇护) for great heroes who after a period of hard time come back to fight for justice. Their time in the forest could perhaps be interpreted as a period of personal development. Today, still, woodland remains as a refuge from institutional order, from control and limitation of personal freedom. Forests are places full of mystery, where imagination and the subconscious can run free, where we can return to our original selves. 8. What does the author think of the woodland dangers in fairy tales? A. They are created without reasonable basis. B. They are a reflection of real-life dangers. C. They differ greatly from those in real life. D. They are apparent and can be easily avoided. 9. What does JC Cooper stress with her words in paragraph 2? A. The hidden dangers in the forest. B. The symbols in different cultures. C. The symbolic meaning of the forest. D. The educational functions of the forest. 10. The woodland plays the role of a shelter for the hero in ______. A. Rama and Sita B. Beauty and the Beast C. Little Red Riding Hood D. An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols 11. How is the text developed? A. By following time order. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining a principle. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章详细探讨了森林在不同文化和童话故事中所扮演的角色，以及它对人类心理和精神世界的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In a most practical sense, as the ancients dreamed up those stories and even when the oral traditions were finally written down in the middle ages and later, the lands of northern and western Europe were thick with woodland. The dangers were obvious. (在最实际的意义上，当古人构想出这些故事，甚至在中世纪及之后口头传统最终被写下来时，北欧和西欧的土地上森林茂密。危险是显而易见的)”可知，许多童话故事中的人物不得不穿越危险的森林地带，这并非偶然。童话中的森林危险是基于现实生活的危险。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Entering the Dark Forest or the Enchanted Forest is a threshold symbol: the soul entering the dangers of the unknown; the world of death; the secrets of nature, or the spiritual world which man must go through to find the meaning. (进入黑暗森林或魔法森林是一个门槛象征：灵魂进入未知的危险；死亡的世界；自然的奥秘，或者是人必须穿越以找到意义的精神世界)”可知，Cooper强调的是森林的象征意义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“And yet, in legends such as Robin Hood, or the great Hindu love story of Rama and Sita, the forest becomes a hiding place. The forest provides refuge for great heroes who after a period of hard time come back to fight for justice. (然而，在诸如罗宾汉或伟大的印度爱情故事拉玛和悉多的传说中，森林成为了藏身之地。森林为经历艰难时期后归来争取正义的伟大英雄提供了庇护)”可知，森林在这些故事中扮演了英雄的庇护所的角色。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the merchant is directed by invisible forces within the forest to the Beast’s castle, only then to be directed by invisible hands to his fate.”(在《美女与野兽》的故事中，商人被森林中的无形力量引导到野兽的城堡，然后被无形的手引导到他的命运)和第四段“As for Little Red Riding Hood, straying from the path and into the woods is similarly dangerous and filled with treachery. (至于《小红帽》，偏离小径进入森林同样是危险的，充满了背叛)”可知，文章通过举例来展开论述，如《美女与野兽》中的商人被无形的力量引导到野兽的城堡，以及《小红帽》中偏离小径进入森林的危险和背叛。这些例子说明了森林在童话中的多重角色和象征意义。故选B项。 D There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the atmosphere, at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications. Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground. Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. The plant and tree material the process uses would release carbon if it wasn’t treated. And the cost is less than $100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet. Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. 12. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the first paragraph? A. Trees can purify the air in the sky. B. Plants release more carbon dioxide. C. Removing carbon from the air is challenging. D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed. 13. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated. 14. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project? A. Its cost is relatively low. B. It is in good operation now. C. Its working condition is demanding. D. It turns carbon into building materials. 15. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology? A. It will make a difference soon. B. It can replace renewable energy in time. C. It will result in more environmental concerns. D. It can work together with other climate measures. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了直接空气捕获（DAC）这一技术性碳移除方式。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture.(空气中二氧化碳（CO₂）含量过高，仅仅靠植树造林和保护森林并不能解决这一问题。当植物和树木死亡时，它们储存的碳会再次释放出来。此外，大气中的二氧化碳浓度比例如发电站或钢铁厂排放的废气中的二氧化碳浓度要低得多。从空气中捕获二氧化碳是碳捕获技术中成本最高的应用方式。)”可知，本段中作者旨在告诉我们除掉空气中的碳是具有挑战性的，故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“the CO2 in the atmosphere(大气中的二氧化碳)”和“waste gas from a power station or a steel plant(来自发电厂或钢铁厂的废气)”及常识可知，空气中的二氧化碳要比来自发电站或者钢铁厂的废气中的二氧化碳更稀薄，dilute的意思是“稀薄的”，和Thin意思相近。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work.(该公司声称其碳捕获方法很便宜，主要是因为它让植物来做这项工作。)”可知，这个公司声称它的碳捕捉方法比较便宜。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air.(但专家表示，这个决定并不是选择其中之一。世界需要停止使用化石燃料，减少空气中的碳。)”可知，专家认为DAC技术可以与其他气候措施协同工作。故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____16____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database you can check. Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____18____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants. ____19____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones! Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____20____ A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist. B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks. C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do? E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation. F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在攀岩运动中应如何保护动植物。 【16题详解】 根据前文“rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many.( 攀岩已经成为许多人喜欢的主流娱乐活动。)”以及后文的“However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. (然而，随着攀岩运动的兴起，悬崖生态系统所维持的惊人的生物多样性正面临压力。)”可知，空白处前后应该是转折关系，前文强调攀岩已经成为了主流娱乐活动，空白处后提到攀岩过程中会对岩壁的生态系统造成不良影响，而G 项“The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.(通过充满野生动物的美丽环境，自然世界提供了令人兴奋的冒险。)”中的an exciting adventure与空白处前的a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many 相呼应，且与下文提到的不良影响形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 17题详解】 根据前文“ You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb.(你应该检查一下在你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制。)”以及后文“And some organizations have an online database you can check.(一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。)”可知，你应该检查一下你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制，而一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。所以空白处讲的也是在哪里查询该区域是否有鸟类筑巢限制，故B项“This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.(此类信息通常可以在攀岩指南中找到)”，符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing.( 有时攀登者在建立以前没有攀登过的路线时也会清除植物和土壤，使其更适合攀登。)”可知，此处提到攀岩者在开辟适宜攀岩的路线时，通常会除去路上的植物和土壤；后文提到“Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.( 与其他路线开发商和环保人士合作，了解路线开发对植物的潜在影响。)”，讲述需要了解线路开发对植被的潜在影响。故空白处应承上启下，提及为开辟新路可能对岩壁的生态系统产生的影响。因此，C项“This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.(这可能会摧毁之前存在的悬崖生态系统)”，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp - our smartphones! (这在很大程度上归结于我们每个人都携带着一台微型电脑，它可以流畅地捕捉图像、位置和声音，并将它们与时间戳相关联——我们的智能手机！)”可知，本段主要谈论由于智能手机的普及，我们为科学做贡献变得更为便利。A项“You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.(你可以通过成为一名公民科学家来提供帮助。)”概括本段主要内容，指出你可以通过智能手机或者当代科技的帮助来成为一名平民科学家收集物种或者地理的相关数据。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据前文前提到“These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. (这些组织实现这些目标的资金往往有限，往往依赖于志愿者的支持。)”可知，通过与自然保护组织合作，减少攀岩活动对环境的影响。但这些组织往往资金有限，依赖志愿者的支持。D项“Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do?(为何不联系一个能够激励你的组织，问问你能做些什么?)”符合语境，D项中的one 指代前文的conservation organization，并鼓励读者为什么不联系一个激励自己的组织，成为其中的志愿者，为在攀岩运动中保护动植物提供帮助，该选项符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had just finished walking my dog as it got dark.

Will, my son with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (孤独症), and I loved venturing off to the beach before dinner. The sun was still hot and shining bright. With a bucket in hand, we hit the sand and started our adventure. Will run quickly to the edge of the water before I got there, laughing as the waves nearly knocked him down. Will had spent many hours in therapy, helping him to overcome the many challenges he faced. The beach was now one of his favorite places to visit. I was thrilled, because it was a place where I felt at home and filled with peace, and I wanted to share that with Will. On this particular day, we walked along the edge of the water, looking for seashells to fill our bucket, but there didn’t seem to be too many shells on the shore. Will began picking up whatever shells he saw. After a while, I looked into the bucket and saw nothing but broken shells. “Will,” I said, “all of these shells are broken. You need to find shells like this,” I continued, as I held up a perfect seashell. Will gave me a puzzled look and continued gathering whatever shells he came upon and dropping them into the bucket. I continued my search, and stopped to watch him drop more broken shells into the bucket. Again, I asked, “Will, why do you insist on filling our bucket with broken shells?” He looked up at me, replying, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than the perfect ones.” True, I thought, but who wanted a bucketful of broken shells? Will stared at me as if he knew what I was thinking. “Mom, these shells are broken, but they’re still beautiful,” he added. Just then he reached his little hand into the bucket and pulled out the different shells and commented on their uniqueness. “This one is broken, but it has the color purple on it. Mom, none of yours have purple on them,” he said with pride. Paragraph 1: Astonished by Will’s words, I knelt down and took a closer look at the shells in the bucket. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Back home, we created a “broken seashell garden” in our yard with the “broken” seashells together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Astonished by Will’s words, I knelt down and took a closer look at the shells in the bucket. I found that just like what Will described every broken seashell was uniquely beautiful, highlighting their features — like purple colors, shapes resembling smiles or the sun, and forms reminding me of butterfly wings. My eyes were filled with tears as I realized my son was teaching me a most valuable lesson. I reached my hand to take out the few perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach. Together, Will and I walked along the beach, collecting only broken shells and admiring their uniqueness and beauty. Back home, we created a “broken seashell garden” in our yard with the “broken” seashells together. Will gently stared at it, his eyes shining with quiet satisfaction. It dawned on me that none of us are perfect. We’re all broken in some way, but we still possess beauty and uniqueness. Now, whenever we go to the beach, we gather only broken shells. It’s true that while the perfect shells are few and far between, there are many more broken shells that go unnoticed. If we take the time to look more closely at the broken shells, we can find beauty in their imperfections, and maybe even learn something about ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了母亲和患有孤独症的儿子Will在海滩上收集贝壳时，儿子教会母亲欣赏不完美贝壳的独特美丽，并从中领悟到每个人都有自己的独特之处，即使不完美也充满价值的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我被Will的话震惊了，跪下来仔细看桶里的贝壳。”可知，第一段可描写作者仔细观察贝壳后发现其独特之美，理解了Will的想法，和Will一起只捡破碎贝壳。 ②由第二段首句内容“回家后，我们用这些“破碎”的贝壳在院子里建了一个“破碎贝壳花园”。”可知，第二段可描写作者从建花园这件事得到感悟，明白不完美也有价值，之后去海滩都只捡破碎贝壳。 2.续写线索：质疑捡碎壳——Will 阐述理由——作者观察感悟——共同捡拾碎壳——打造贝壳花园——领悟不完美之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①仔细观察：look more closely at/examine more carefully/observe more intently ②放置：place/put ③凝视：stare at/gaze at 情绪类 ①充满泪水：be filled with tears/be brimming with tears ②满足，满意：satisfaction/contentment 【点睛】【高分句型1】My eyes were filled with tears as I realized my son was teaching me a most valuable lesson.
