What a great honour it was. I wasn’t some successful Olympic athlete. I only carried it through a corner of Connecticut. My dad did some voluntary work for the Olympics that year, and he thought it was something I would enjoy. Let me go back to that night in May,1984. The flame had just begun its route across America, covering 15,000 kilometres. That first day it moved slowly from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometre. Some of the runners were legendary, like the granddaughter of gold medalist Jesse Owen. Others were common people like me and supporters of the cause. I had been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting in the dusk for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that enormous distance? Other people gathered together in the dark on the sidewalk. What would they see? All at once it happened. A runner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way, jogging down the highway. If I had worried about finding my way in the dark, there was no question now. People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed. Actually, it was not for me but for the free expression of athletic skill; the celebration of talent and dedication. All too soon it was over. But not really over. I passed the flame on to the next runner, who would pass it along to the next and next until it finally reached gold medalist Rafer Johnson who would carry it into the L. A. Coliseum. How lucky I was to play a part! But I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch, for we are all the light of the world. Therefore, why not let your light shine? 4. What do the underlined words “the cause” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The Olympic Games. B. The voluntary work. C. The successful athletes. D. The fierce competition. 5. How did the author feel when waiting for the flame to arrive? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Excited. D. Disappointed. 6. Why did the author think the people on the sidewalk shouted? A. To cheer for the Olympic spirits. B. To encourage him to move on. C. To show their respect for him. D. To praise the career he chose. 7. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He applied for the torch relay by himself. B. He preferred to see others carry the torch. C. He felt proud of having such an experience. D. He advised us to value every chance we have. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在1984年作为火炬手参与洛杉矶奥运会火炬传递的经历，作者虽然只是传递了康涅狄格州的一个角落，但深感荣幸，并意识到每个人都有机会传递“火炬”，成为世界之光，鼓励大家让自己的光芒闪耀。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中的“I carried the flame (火焰) in 1984 in the torch relay (火炬传递) as it made its way across the country to the Olympics in Los Angeles.(1984年，我在火炬接力中携带火炬穿越全国前往洛杉矶奥运会。)”以及第二段中的“The flame had just begun its route across America, covering 15,000 kilometres. That first day it moved slowly from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometre. Some of the runners were legendary, like the granddaughter of gold medalist Jesse Owen. Others were common people like me and supporters of the cause.(火焰刚刚开始穿越美国的旅程，行程15,000公里。第一天，它从纽约缓慢出发，每位火炬手跑一公里。有些火炬手是传奇人物，比如金牌得主杰西·欧文斯的孙女。其他人则像我这样的普通人，都是这项事业的支持者。)”可知，火炬传递是为了奥运会，而像作者这样的普通人也是这项“事业”（即奥运会）的支持者，所以“the cause”指的是“奥运会”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I held it as I stood waiting in the dusk for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that enormous distance? Other people gathered together in the dark on the sidewalk. What would they see?(我手持火炬，站在黄昏中等待火焰的到来。我内心的一部分在想，它是否会到来。他们能找到足够的火炬手来跑完这么长的距离吗？其他人聚集在黑暗中的人行道上。他们会看到什么呢？)”可知，作者在等待火焰到来时内心有疑惑，担心火焰是否会到来，也担心是否能找到足够的火炬手，说明作者当时是担忧的、关心的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed. Actually, it was not for me but for the free expression of athletic skill; the celebration of talent and dedication.(人们站在道路两旁，当我经过时鼓掌和欢呼。实际上，这不是为了我，而是为了自由表达运动技能；是为了庆祝天赋和奉献精神。)”可知，作者认为路边的人欢呼不是为了他个人，而是为了奥林匹克精神，即自由表达运动技能，庆祝天赋和奉献精神。由此可推知，作者认为路边的人欢呼是为了给奥林匹克精神加油。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“How lucky I was to play a part! But I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch, for we are all the light of the world. Therefore, why not let your light shine?(我能参与其中是多么幸运啊！但我认为我们都有机会传递火炬，因为我们都是世界之光。因此，为什么不让你自己的光芒闪耀呢？)”可知，作者认为能参与火炬传递很幸运，并鼓励大家像火炬手一样，让自己的光芒闪耀，由此可推知，作者为有这样的经历感到自豪。故选C项。 C Different dietary habits and food consumption have their own geographical (地理的) distribution, especially in China. The Chinese people have developed many traditional foods through their long history and also led to a rich and diverse food culture. Due to the geographical environment, there are some dietary and cultural differences between Northern and Southern China. Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers. Northeast Chinese dishes feature large quantity and fullness, which may come from the heroic characteristics of the Northeast people. Located in the southern part of China, Guangdong is a relatively warm and humid (潮湿的) region. Due to the climate, the leading food in Guangdong has been tropical crops such as rice since ancient times. The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch (淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp. Sichuan is located in the middle of China. Its main geographical feature is the Sichuan Basin. The basin nature of Sichuan means that it is surrounded by high mountains with high temperatures and humidity. Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one. Chicken, salt, peppers and other simple ingredients can cook a deliciously spicy meal. The spicy flavor can also stimulate people’s appetite. 8. What do we know about the crops used in Di San Xian from paragraph 2? A. They are very easy to cook. B. They are native to Northeast China. C. They are resistant to cold weather. D. They are cheaper than other vegetables. 9. Which aspect of Chang Fen does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its true origin. B. Its health benefits. C. Its cooking process. D. Its major features. 10. What role did the introduction of peppers play in Sichuan? A. It led to the popularity of spicy dishes there. B. It caused a decline in traditional Sichuan cuisine. C. It transformed Sichuan into a major spice exporter. D. It made Sichuan cuisine popular in Northern China. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Every country has its own unique food. B. Each place has its geographical features. C. People have different consumption habits. D. Geography can affect people’s dietary habits. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国不同地区由于地理环境的差异，形成了不同的饮食习惯和饮食文化，通过举例东北、广东、四川等地的特色食物，说明了地理环境对饮食的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers.(由于寒冷的气候和平原的广袤，中国东北种植了许多耐寒作物，这些作物成为了东北菜的基础。地三鲜是中国东北最具特色的菜肴，由土豆、茄子和青椒组成)”可知，用于制作地三鲜的作物是耐寒的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch (淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp.(肠粉，一种传统的广东食物，具有广东地理环境带来的几个特点。在这道菜中，淀粉、米粉和水混合形成面糊。然后将面糊铺在多层盒子或布上蒸制，并加入肉、鱼或虾来提升口感)”可知，该段重点描述了肠粉的制作过程。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one.(自从辣椒传入中国以来，四川一直是中国的辣味美食之都，因为其独特的地理环境非常适合辣椒的生长。辣椒经常被用于烹饪四川菜，辣子鸡就是一道很受欢迎的菜)”可知，辣椒的引入使得四川的辣味菜肴流行起来。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出不同的饮食习惯和食物消费有各自的地理分布，尤其是在中国，由于地理环境的原因，中国南北存在饮食和文化差异，然后分别举例东北、广东、四川的特色食物及其与地理环境的关系。D 选项“Geography can affect people’s dietary habits.”（地理会影响人们的饮食习惯），符合文章主旨。故选D。 D Sea turtles (海龟) live life on the move. Adult sea turtles move repeatedly between feeding and breeding (繁殖) areas. So the question naturally arises: How do turtles guide their journeys across vast water without landmarks? Thirty years of work with turtles has provided a framework for understanding those remarkable travels. A sea turtle’s first migration seems a simple task: swimming toward the open ocean and away from land. Newly hatched sea turtles cannot see the direction of the open ocean. When entering the sea, they dive under the surface, use water motion caused by waves to determine the direction, and then swim directly toward open water. Sea turtles can also keep a course in one direction using biological compasses based on the sun’s or the earth’s magnetic field (磁场). For young turtles, however, a compass alone isn’t enough to keep them safe. Fortunately, the earth’s magnetic field provides turtles with a map. Several magnetic features are geographically different so that every place has its own magnetic address, which allows sea turtles to sense their present magnetic addresses and set course for the magnetic addresses of their destinations. Sea turtles are born with the ability to recognize specific magnetic addresses in the ocean and to swim in directions that keep them safe. For example, Florida turtles don’t travel too far north into dangerous cold waters. The amazing magnetic navigation (导航) of turtles is of importance. Conservationists need to make sure that turtles can recognize their birthplace and the feeding area in a natural magnetic environment. Animals programmed to migrate in the Atlantic Ocean are unlikely to navigate properly in the Pacific and vice versa. If researchers keep such needs in mind, it seems likely that the same skills that guided turtles for the last 120 million years will keep them on track for the next 120 million years. 12. Why is the question raised in the first paragraph? A. To make a prediction. B. To come up with a solution. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To describe sea turtles’ life cycle. 13. What do we know about newborn sea turtles from paragraph 2? A. Their motion changes how waves are moving. B. They can directly identify the ocean’s direction. C. Their journey to the open ocean is quite simple. D. They rely on sea waves to figure out the direction. 14. What does the “map” mentioned in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Approaches to escaping from enemies. B. Potential dangers of sea turtles’ journeys. C. Specific changes of sea turtles’ destinations. D. Signals offered by each area’s magnetic features. 15. In which aspect does studying turtles’ magnetic navigation play an important role? A. Protecting the species. B. Recognizing sea animals. C. Collecting more turtles. D. Improving sea conditions. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了海龟是如何在没有地标的情况下在广阔的水域中引导自己的旅程的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“So the question naturally arises: How do turtles guide their journeys across vast water without landmarks? Thirty years of work with turtles has provided a framework for understanding those remarkable travels.(所以问题自然产生了：海龟是如何在没有地标的情况下在广阔的水域中引导自己的旅程的？三十年来对海龟的研究为理解这些非凡的旅行提供了一个框架)”可知，第一段提出问题：海龟是如何在没有地标的情况下在广阔的水域中引导自己的旅程的？下文主要是围绕该问题展开，故第一段提出问题是为了引入文章话题，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Newly hatched sea turtles cannot see the direction of the open ocean. When entering the sea, they dive under the surface, use water motion caused by waves to determine the direction, and then swim directly toward open water.(刚孵出的海龟看不见大海的方向。入海时，它们潜入水面下，利用波浪引起的水运动来确定方向，然后直接向开阔的水域游去)”可知，刚孵出的海龟依靠海浪来确定方向，故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Fortunately, the earth’s magnetic field provides turtles with a map. Several magnetic features are geographically different so that every place has its own magnetic address, which allows sea turtles to sense their present magnetic addresses and set course for the magnetic addresses of their destinations. Sea turtles are born with the ability to recognize specific magnetic addresses in the ocean and to swim in directions that keep them safe.(幸运的是，地球磁场为海龟提供了地图。一些磁场特征在地理上是不同的，所以每个地方都有自己的磁场地址，这使得海龟可以感知它们当前的磁场地址，并为它们的目的地设置磁场地址。海龟天生就有识别海洋中特定磁场地址的能力，并能游向安全的方向)”可知，每个地方都有不同的磁场地址，海龟天生就有识别海洋中特定磁场地址的能力，并能游向安全的方向，所以“地图”指的是“每个区域的磁场特征所提供的信号”，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Conservationists need to make sure that turtles can recognize their birthplace and the feeding area in a natural magnetic environment. Animals programmed to migrate in the Atlantic Ocean are unlikely to navigate properly in the Pacific and vice versa. If researchers keep such needs in mind, it seems likely that the same skills that guided turtles for the last 120 million years will keep them on track for the next 120 million years.(自然资源保护主义者需要确保海龟能够在自然磁场环境中识别自己的出生地和觅食区域。在大西洋迁徙的动物不太可能在太平洋正确地导航，反之亦然。如果研究人员牢记这些需求，那么在过去的1.2亿年里指引海龟的技能很可能会在未来的1.2亿年里让它们走上正轨)”可知，研究海龟的磁导航在未来保护海龟物种方面起着重要的作用，故选A。 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。 How not to be bored when you have to wait I travel a lot. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. ____16____ It is the constant waiting. When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and wait on and on. For years, I have tried to design my life in such a way to lower how much time I have to spend waiting: I ask for the check as soon as the server brings me my lunch; I have all the subscriptions (订阅) that help to streamline one’s passage through the airport; ____17____ No doubt my waiting time is a smaller part of what it used to be. But recently, I have realized that my strategy helps just a little, just for a while. Despite many improvements, I’m not any less troubled by the waiting I still have to endure. Another waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by electronic devices. You might think that this solution must work. ____18____ The root problem with waiting for something we want is that it produces two conditions that humans hate: boredom and lack of autonomy (独立自主). One way of understanding boredom is that it’s a state in which you fail to find meaning. Standing in line, knowing that you’re doing so to get or do something but are being forced to spend the time unproductively, is what feels meaningless. ____19____ It means that your behavior can’t change the situation at hand. Think of the last time you waited at an airport for a long-delayed flight, and the annoyance that came from not being able to do anything about it except wait. The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself to live better in a world of waiting. ____20____ Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world, because it is failing in some way to conform (符合) to our preferences and convenience. To do so is like canoeing down a river and railing against the winding course it takes. Why not simply follow those bends as best we can? A. In fact, it might not work at all. B. We want to be in control of our lives. C. Waiting also lowers your sense of autonomy. D. But there is one thing about travel that annoys me. E. I choose hotels that have self-service check-in facilities. F. It leads us to think about the root problem with waiting. G. That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了旅行中令人厌烦的等待问题。作者尝试多种策略减少等待时间，分析等待带来厌烦和缺乏自主性的原因，最终指出改变自己是降低等待痛苦的最佳方式，且这种见解同样适用于生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“I travel a lot. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. (我经常旅行。在路上总是有有趣的人和新的地方。)”以及下文“It is the constant waiting. When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and wait on and on. (就是持续不断的等待。当我旅行时，我等待登机，在餐馆等待，等待入住酒店，等等。)”可知，这里需要一个句子来引出旅行中让人烦恼的等待这一话题。D选项“But there is one thing about travel that annoys me. (但是关于旅行有一件事让我烦恼。)”，承上启下。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“For years, I have tried to design my life in such a way to lower how much time I have to spend waiting: I ask for the check as soon as the server brings me my lunch; I have all the subscriptions (订阅) that help to streamline one’s passage through the airport; (多年来，我一直试图以一种方式来规划我的生活，以减少我必须花费在等待上的时间：服务员一给我上午餐我就要求结账；我订阅了所有有助于简化通过机场流程的服务；)”可知，这里是在举例说明作者为减少等待时间所做的事情。E选项“I choose hotels that have self-service check-in facilities. (我选择有自助入住设施的酒店。)”，也是减少等待时间的具体做法，与上文并列。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by electronic devices. You might think that this solution must work. (最近大多数人采用的另一种等待策略是通过电子设备来分散注意力。你可能认为这个解决方案一定有效。)”可知，这里提到了人们认为通过电子设备分散注意力的等待策略有效，而下文应该是对这种观点的反驳。A选项“In fact, it might not work at all. (事实上，它可能根本不起作用。)”与上文形成转折，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“It means that your behavior can’t change the situation at hand. Think of the last time you waited at an airport for a long-delayed flight, and the annoyance that came from not being able to do anything about it except wait. (这意味着你的行为无法改变眼前的情况。想想你上次在机场等待长时间延误的航班时，那种除了等待什么也做不了的烦恼。)”可知，这里在说等待会让人感觉缺乏自主性。C选项“Waiting also lowers your sense of autonomy. (等待也会降低你的自主感。)”，能够概括本段主旨。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself to live better in a world of waiting. (那么，减轻等待痛苦的最好方法，结果不是改变世界，而是改变自己，以便在一个充满等待的世界里生活得更好。)”以及下文“Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world, because it is failing in some way to conform (符合) to our preferences and convenience. To do so is like canoeing down a river and railing against the winding course it takes. Why not simply follow those bends as best we can? (我们大多数人每天都对这个世界感到不满，因为它在某些方面不符合我们的喜好和便利。这样做就像在河上划独木舟，却抱怨它蜿蜒的路线。为什么不尽我们所能顺着那些弯道走呢？)”可知，这里在说这种改变自己适应等待的见解不仅适用于等待，也适用于生活。G选项“That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. (这种见解不仅适用于等待，也适用于生活本身。)”，承上启下。故选G项。 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。 James Gailey had already retired (退休).

The people I cared for became like family to me. One woman Mrs. Wiggins, in particular, became a dear friend. Her children rarely visited, especially toward the end. At first, she seldom spoke, just lying still. But over time, we became close as I learned more about her. She had three children, and her husband had passed away many years earlier. Her children were too busy to visit her, leaving her feeling very lonely. I tried to make her feel loved, as if the hospital were her home. She shared stories from her past until my shift (轮班) ended, often repeating them during my next shift. One night, I took an early shift and went to sit beside her. She whispered that her time was near. I left to call her children so they could come quickly. When I returned to her room, she was sleeping. I leaned close to her and asked if she had dreamed of anything. She smiled gently and said she had dreamt of raspberries (覆盆子) and cream. I must have looked surprised at such a strange answer. Mrs. Wiggins softly laughed and said she would explain. “When I was a little girl, my aunt would take me out for lunch and let me order anything I wanted. For dessert, we’d share a bowl of raspberries and cream. I loved the special taste—it was so smooth, rich, and pure. However, as I grew older and had my own children, I had to spend all my savings to support them. I couldn’t afford to spend money on something like raspberries and cream.” She continued “I just didn’t think I deserved it. But promise me you’ll fill your life with raspberries and cream!” Tears streamed down my face as I smiled and held her hand tightly. Then I gently kissed her on the cheek, my voice trembling as I begged her to hold on. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Iran as fast as I could to the nearest corner store and bought some raspberries and cream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her children came the next day to discuss the final arrangements. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I ran as fast as I could to the nearest corner store and bought some raspberries and cream. When I returned to her room, she watched me with a smile as I prepared two bowls of raspberries and cream. We enjoyed the treat together until there was nothing left. And then I kissed her hand and held it tightly. On her face was a glow that showed no pain or fear. It was a bittersweet moment, for she knew that this simple pleasure had been denied to her for so long. Her children came the next day to discuss the final arrangements. As they sat by her bedside tears streamed down their faces. I shared the story of the raspberries and cream, revealing how much their mother had longed for that little delight. They listened closely, their faces showing a mix of regret and gratitude. A few days later, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. Just as Mrs. Wiggins wished, I promised to enjoy “raspberries and cream” in my life, cherishing every moment and making the most of my time with loved ones 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在医院工作时与一位即将离世的老妇人Mrs. Wiggins之间建立深厚友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我以最快的速度跑到最近的街角商店，买了一些覆盆子和奶油。”以及第二段首句内容“第二天，她的孩子们来了，商量最后的安排。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Mrs. Wiggins一起享用这这份美食。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，她的孩子们来了，商量最后的安排。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们陪伴着母亲，而作者也讲述了覆盆子和奶油的故事。 2.续写线索：作者赶紧去商店买了覆盆子和奶油——回到房间后，作者和Mrs. Wiggins一起享用了覆盆子和奶油——此时，Mrs. Wiggins的脸上满是满足和快乐，没有恐惧也没有痛苦——次日，Mrs. Wiggins的孩子们来到了她的身边——作者告知了孩子们Mrs. Wiggins关于覆盆子和奶油的故事——孩子们泪流满面，非常后悔，同时也感激作者——作者决定以后要珍惜和所爱的人在一起的时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：reveal/ show ②渴望得到：long for/ be desperate for ③珍视：cherish/ value 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/ fright ②高兴：delight/ joy 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I returned to her room, she watched me with a smile as I prepared two bowls of raspberries and cream..（运用了when引导的状语从句和as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】We enjoyed the treat together until there was nothing left（运用了until引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★启用前 2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题(B) 2025.04 注意事项： 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必将姓名、班级等个人信息填写在答题卡指定位置。 3、考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答。超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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。 1.

B I carried the flame (火焰) in 1984 in the torch relay (火炬传递) as it made its way across the country to the Olympics in Los Angeles. What a great honour it was. I wasn’t some successful Olympic athlete. I only carried it through a corner of Connecticut. My dad did some voluntary work for the Olympics that year, and he thought it was something I would enjoy. Let me go back to that night in May,1984. The flame had just begun its route across America, covering 15,000 kilometres. That first day it moved slowly from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometre. Some of the runners were legendary, like the granddaughter of gold medalist Jesse Owen. Others were common people like me and supporters of the cause. I had been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting in the dusk for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that enormous distance? Other people gathered together in the dark on the sidewalk. What would they see? All at once it happened. A runner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way, jogging down the highway. If I had worried about finding my way in the dark, there was no question now. People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed. Actually, it was not for me but for the free expression of athletic skill; the celebration of talent and dedication. All too soon it was over. But not really over. I passed the flame on to the next runner, who would pass it along to the next and next until it finally reached gold medalist Rafer Johnson who would carry it into the L. A. Coliseum. How lucky I was to play a part! But I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch, for we are all the light of the world. Therefore, why not let your light shine? 4. What do the underlined words “the cause” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The Olympic Games. B. The voluntary work. C. The successful athletes. D. The fierce competition. 5. How did the author feel when waiting for the flame to arrive? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Excited. D. Disappointed. 6. Why did the author think the people on the sidewalk shouted? A. To cheer for the Olympic spirits. B. To encourage him to move on. C. To show their respect for him. D. To praise the career he chose. 7. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. He applied for the torch relay by himself. B. He preferred to see others carry the torch. C. He felt proud of having such an experience. D. He advised us to value every chance we have. C Different dietary habits and food consumption have their own geographical (地理的) distribution, especially in China. The Chinese people have developed many traditional foods through their long history and also led to a rich and diverse food culture. Due to the geographical environment, there are some dietary and cultural differences between Northern and Southern China. Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers. Northeast Chinese dishes feature large quantity and fullness, which may come from the heroic characteristics of the Northeast people. Located in the southern part of China, Guangdong is a relatively warm and humid (潮湿的) region. Due to the climate, the leading food in Guangdong has been tropical crops such as rice since ancient times. The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch (淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp. Sichuan is located in the middle of China. Its main geographical feature is the Sichuan Basin. The basin nature of Sichuan means that it is surrounded by high mountains with high temperatures and humidity. Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one. Chicken, salt, peppers and other simple ingredients can cook a deliciously spicy meal. The spicy flavor can also stimulate people’s appetite. 8. What do we know about the crops used in Di San Xian from paragraph 2? A. They are very easy to cook. B. They are native to Northeast China. C. They are resistant to cold weather. D. They are cheaper than other vegetables. 9 Which aspect of Chang Fen does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its true origin. B. Its health benefits. C. Its cooking process. D. Its major features. 10. What role did the introduction of peppers play in Sichuan? A. It led to the popularity of spicy dishes there. B. It caused a decline in traditional Sichuan cuisine. C. It transformed Sichuan into a major spice exporter. D. It made Sichuan cuisine popular in Northern China. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Every country has its own unique food. B. Each place has its geographical features. C. People have different consumption habits. D. Geography can affect people’s dietary habits. D Sea turtles (海龟) live life on the move. Adult sea turtles move repeatedly between feeding and breeding (繁殖) areas. So the question naturally arises: How do turtles guide their journeys across vast water without landmarks? Thirty years of work with turtles has provided a framework for understanding those remarkable travels. A sea turtle’s first migration seems a simple task: swimming toward the open ocean and away from land. Newly hatched sea turtles cannot see the direction of the open ocean. When entering the sea, they dive under the surface, use water motion caused by waves to determine the direction, and then swim directly toward open water. Sea turtles can also keep a course in one direction using biological compasses based on the sun’s or the earth’s magnetic field (磁场). For young turtles, however, a compass alone isn’t enough to keep them safe. Fortunately, the earth’s magnetic field provides turtles with a map. Several magnetic features are geographically different so that every place has its own magnetic address, which allows sea turtles to sense their present magnetic addresses and set course for the magnetic addresses of their destinations. Sea turtles are born with the ability to recognize specific magnetic addresses in the ocean and to swim in directions that keep them safe. For example, Florida turtles don’t travel too far north into dangerous cold waters. The amazing magnetic navigation (导航) of turtles is of importance. Conservationists need to make sure that turtles can recognize their birthplace and the feeding area in a natural magnetic environment. Animals programmed to migrate in the Atlantic Ocean are unlikely to navigate properly in the Pacific and vice versa. If researchers keep such needs in mind, it seems likely that the same skills that guided turtles for the last 120 million years will keep them on track for the next 120 million years. 12. Why is the question raised in the first paragraph? A. To make a prediction. B. To come up with a solution. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To describe sea turtles’ life cycle. 13. What do we know about newborn sea turtles from paragraph 2? A. Their motion changes how waves are moving. B. They can directly identify the ocean’s direction. C. Their journey to the open ocean is quite simple. D. They rely on sea waves to figure out the direction. 14. What does the “map” mentioned in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Approaches to escaping from enemies. B. Potential dangers of sea turtles’ journeys. C. Specific changes of sea turtles’ destinations. D. Signals offered by each area’s magnetic features. 15. In which aspect does studying turtles’ magnetic navigation play an important role? A. Protecting the species. B. Recognizing sea animals. C. Collecting more turtles. D. Improving sea conditions. 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。 How not to be bored when you have to wait I travel a lot. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. ____16____ It is the constant waiting. When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and wait on and on. For years, I have tried to design my life in such a way to lower how much time I have to spend waiting: I ask for the check as soon as the server brings me my lunch; I have all the subscriptions (订阅) that help to streamline one’s passage through the airport; ____17____ No doubt my waiting time is a smaller part of what it used to be. But recently, I have realized that my strategy helps just a little, just for a while. Despite many improvements, I’m not any less troubled by the waiting I still have to endure. Another waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by electronic devices. You might think that this solution must work. ____18____ The root problem with waiting for something we want is that it produces two conditions that humans hate: boredom and lack of autonomy (独立自主). One way of understanding boredom is that it’s a state in which you fail to find meaning. Standing in line, knowing that you’re doing so to get or do something but are being forced to spend the time unproductively, is what feels meaningless. ____19____ It means that your behavior can’t change the situation at hand. Think of the last time you waited at an airport for a long-delayed flight, and the annoyance that came from not being able to do anything about it except wait. The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself to live better in a world of waiting. ____20____ Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world, because it is failing in some way to conform (符合) to our preferences and convenience. To do so is like canoeing down a river and railing against the winding course it takes. Why not simply follow those bends as best we can? A. In fact, it might not work at all. B. We want to be in control of our lives. C. Waiting also lowers your sense of autonomy. D. But there is one thing about travel that annoys me. E. I choose hotels that have self-service check-in facilities. F. It leads us to think about the root problem with waiting. G. That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. 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。 James Gailey had already retired (退休).

The people I cared for became like family to me. One woman, Mrs. Wiggins, in particular, became a dear friend. Her children rarely visited, especially toward the end. At first, she seldom spoke, just lying still. But over time, we became close as I learned more about her. She had three children, and her husband had passed away many years earlier. Her children were too busy to visit her, leaving her feeling very lonely. I tried to make her feel loved, as if the hospital were her home. She shared stories from her past until my shift (轮班) ended, often repeating them during my next shift. One night, I took an early shift and went to sit beside her. She whispered that her time was near. I left to call her children so they could come quickly. When I returned to her room, she was sleeping. I leaned close to her and asked if she had dreamed of anything. She smiled gently and said she had dreamt of raspberries (覆盆子) and cream. I must have looked surprised at such a strange answer. Mrs. Wiggins softly laughed and said she would explain. “When I was a little girl, my aunt would take me out for lunch and let me order anything I wanted. For dessert, we’d share a bowl of raspberries and cream. I loved the special taste—it was so smooth, rich, and pure. However, as I grew older and had my own children, I had to spend all my savings to support them. I couldn’t afford to spend money on something like raspberries and cream.” She continued, “I just didn’t think I deserved it. But promise me you’ll fill your life with raspberries and cream!” Tears streamed down my face as I smiled and held her hand tightly. Then I gently kissed her on the cheek, my voice trembling as I begged her to hold on. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Iran as fast as I could to the nearest corner store and bought some raspberries and cream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her children came the next day to discuss the final arrangements. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
