The story is based on his life as a person from Peckham, London, born to French and Madagascan parents. To Lessore, Peckham is a warm and friendly place where most of his family live, but it hasn’t always had this reputation (名声). In 2001, due to fightings in the area involving young people, there was a “push to get kids off the street” and into community centers. Similarly, in King of Nothing, the main character Anton keeps getting in trouble and his mum makes him join an activity club called the Happy Campers. At first Anton hates it but then he makes an unlikely friend and starts to see the power of a community working together. Lessore is one of eight children and describes his family as a “big bustle” (place of exciting activity). As a kid, he remembers his mum taking him and his siblings (兄弟姐妹) to the local library to keep them busy. “Little did my mum know she was doing us a huge service because she was putting us in the presence of books.” Lessore also gets inspired by slang (an informal way of speaking used by a group of local people) he hears on London’s streets. “I don’t travel on subways with headphones so I can overhear conversations.” If he hears an interesting phrase or word he saves it up and puts it down and constructs them in his book. In King of Nothing, Anton discovers that what others think of him is not as important as he thought. Lessore repeats this when giving advice to young readers. “Popularity means nothing.” His advice is to read, travel and be kind. The world is so big. There is so much to see. And, just like exploring new places, pursuing writing as a career “is not impossible… it’s achievable”. 1. Why was Anton required to join the Happy Campers? A. His misbehavior. B. His bad reputation. C. The community requirement. D. His poor education. 2. What has a deep effect on Lessore’s success? A. His growing surroundings. B. The influence of his siblings. C. The interest in social activities. D. His massive access to books. 3. What can we know about King of Nothing? A. It comes from a real story. B. It tells about a mother’s struggle. C. It stresses the function of the community. D. It inspires readers to be writers. 4. What did the author want to express? A. Enjoyment comes first. B. Enrich and fulfill yourself. C. Reputation plays an important role. D. Travel to explore the unseen. 【答案】1 A 2. D 3. C 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作家Nathanael Lessore如何从自己的成长经历中汲取灵感，创作出King of Nothing一书，强调了阅读、旅行和善良的价值观。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Similarly, in King of Nothing, the main character Anton keeps getting in trouble and his mum makes him join an activity club called the Happy Campers. (同样，在King of Nothing一书中，主人公Anton总是惹麻烦，他的妈妈让他加入了一个名为“快乐露营者”的活动俱乐部)”可知，Anton加入该俱乐部的原因是自己的不良行为。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a kid, he remembers his mum taking him and his siblings (兄弟姐妹) to the local library to keep them busy. “Little did my mum know she was doing us a huge service because she was putting us in the presence of books.” (他记得小时候，妈妈带他和兄弟姐妹去当地的图书馆，让他们忙个不停。“我妈妈不知道她帮了我们很大的忙，因为她把我们放在了书的面前。”)”可知，得益于妈妈，Lessore能大量接触书籍，这对他的成功产生了深远影响。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Similarly, in King of Nothing, the main character Anton keeps getting in trouble and his mum makes him join an activity club called the Happy Campers. At first Anton hates it but then he makes an unlikely friend and starts to see the power of a community working together. (同样，在King of Nothing一书中，主人公Anton总是惹麻烦，他的妈妈让他加入了一个名为“快乐露营者”的活动俱乐部。一开始Anton讨厌它，但后来他结交了一个意想不到的朋友，并开始看到社区合作的力量)”可知，在这本书中，原本行为不佳的主人公Anton通过参加俱乐部交到朋友，体会到社区合作的力量。由此可知，这本书强调了社区的作用。故选C项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Popularity means nothing.” His advice is to read, travel and be kind. The world is so big. There is so much to see. And, just like exploring new places, pursuing writing as a career “is not impossible… it’s achievable”. (“受欢迎没有任何意义。”他的建议是读书、旅游和待人友善。世界那么大。有很多东西要看。而且，就像探索新的地方一样，把写作作为一种职业“并非不可能……它是可以实现的”)”可知，Lessore建议年轻读者阅读、旅行、保持善良，并去探索世界。这表明他希望人们丰富自己、充实人生。故选B项。 B A new study predicts nearly 75% of us will face extreme weather in 20 years. “In the best case, we predict that rapid changes will affect 1.5 billion people,” says physicist Bjorn Samset from Norway. This lower estimate would only be reached by reducing greenhouse gas emissions（排放）in a large degree — something that is yet to occur. Otherwise, climate scientist Carley Iles and her colleagues’ modeling finds that if we continue on our current course, these dangerous changes will hit 70 percent of the Earth’s population. Their modeling also suggests that much of what’s to come is already locked in. Samset advises preparing for unexpected extreme events in the next 1-2 decades. We’ve already lived through examples of these extremes. Data from Europe’s climate service Copernicus shows Earth just had its hottest Northern Hemisphere summer on record. The Southern Hemisphere has been experiencing a record-breaking warm winter too. This global temperature increase has brought with it fatal fires, floods, storms, and droughts that are destroying crops and leading to increasingly widespread hunger, creating favorable conditions for the spread of more diseases as well. “Like people living in a war zone with the constant sounds of bombs and guns, we are becoming deaf to what should be alarm bells,” says climate scientist Jennifer Francis. With extreme emissions cuts we can reduce some of these impacts, but this will cause some regions more immediate issues too. “While cleaning the air is critical for health reasons, air pollution has also masked some of the effects of global warming,” explains professor Laura Wilcox from England. “But not acting means these worsening weather extremes will likely impact most of us within the very near future.” “These conclusions emphasize the need for both continued mitigation（缓解）and adaptation to potentially unexpected changes over the next 20 years even under a low-emissions condition,” writes Iles. 5 What can help to reduce the impact of extreme weather changes? A. Building more disaster prevention projects. B. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a great extent. C. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources. D. Improving early warning systems for extreme weather. 6. Why are people getting deaf to extreme weather? A. As a result of social and economic pressures. B. Because of the media’s over-reporting of extreme weather. C. Because people have experienced so many weather extremes. D. Due to improved technology that can better predict extreme weather. 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The side effects of emission cuts. B. The benefits of global cooperation. C. The serious situation of the future climate changes. D. Other measures to slow down climate change. 8. Which of the following can be the best title? A. What to do with disasters. B. Preparing for extreme weather. C. Measures to reduce emissions. D. How to fight against extreme events. 【答案】5. B 6. C 7. C 8. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候科学家预计，未来20年内全球将有近75%的人口面临极端天气，需要采取行动减少温室气体排放。预计的变化将影响地球人口的70%，对人类健康和生活造成威胁，减缓全球变暖的影响对地球的未来至关重要。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study predicts nearly 75% of us will face extreme weather in 20 years. “In the best case, we predict that rapid changes will affect 1.5 billion people,” says physicist Bjørn Samset from Norway. This lower estimate would only be reached by reducing greenhouse gas emissions（排放）in a large degree — something that is yet to occur.( 一项新的研究预测，近75%的人将在20年内面临极端天气。“在最好的情况下，我们预测快速变化将影响15亿人，”挪威物理学家Bjorn Samset说。只有通过大幅减少温室气体排放才能达到这一较低的估计，而这一目标尚未实现。)”可知，在很大程度上减少温室气体排放可以帮助减少极端天气变化的影响。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We’ve already lived through examples of these extremes.( 我们已经经历过这些极端的例子。)”以及“This global temperature increase has brought with it fatal fires, floods, storms, and droughts that are destroying crops and leading to increasingly widespread hunger, creating favorable conditions for the spread of more diseases as well. “Like people living in a war zone with the constant sounds of bombs and guns, we are becoming deaf to what should be alarm bells,” says climate scientist Jennifer Francis.( 全球气温的升高带来了致命的火灾、洪水、风暴和干旱，它们摧毁了庄稼，导致越来越广泛的饥饿，也为更多疾病的传播创造了有利条件。气候科学家珍妮弗·弗朗西斯说：“就像人们生活在不断听到炸弹和枪炮声的战区一样，我们对应该敲响的警钟越来越充耳不闻。”)”可推知，人们对极端天气充耳不闻是因为人们经历了太多的极端天气。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““These conclusions emphasize the need for both continued mitigation（缓解）and adaptation to potentially unexpected changes over the next 20 years even under a low-emissions condition,” writes Iles.( “这些结论强调，即使在低排放条件下，也需要在未来20年继续减缓和适应可能意想不到的变化，”Iles写道。)”可推知，作者在最后一段暗示了未来气候变化的严峻形势。故选C项。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A new study predicts nearly 75% of us will face extreme weather in 20 years. “In the best case, we predict that rapid changes will affect 1.5 billion people,” says physicist Bjørn Samset from Norway. This lower estimate would only be reached by reducing greenhouse gas emissions（排放）in a large degree — something that is yet to occur.( 一项新的研究预测，近75%的人将在20年内面临极端天气。“在最好的情况下，我们预测快速变化将影响15亿人，”挪威物理学家Bjorn Samset说。只有通过大幅减少温室气体排放才能达到这一较低的估计，而这一目标尚未实现。)”可知，文章主要讲的是气候科学家预计，未来20年内全球将有近75%的人口面临极端天气，需要采取行动减少温室气体排放，如极端减排措施可能引发直接问题。预计的变化将影响地球人口的70%，对人类健康和生活造成威胁，减缓全球变暖的影响对地球的未来至关重要。故文章最好的标题是“为极端天气做准备”。故选B项。 C In the 1930s, the first cake mixes (蛋糕粉) which only required water were invented and some people argued that this approach, the easiest, was the best. But others thought cooks would want to do more. The cake-mix argument may be out-dated, but its central question remains: Just how demanding do we want our technologies to be? Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure. Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system. However, so-called easy technologies usually require little concentrated effort and produce predictable results. Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. Everyone knows that it is easier to drive to the top of a mountain than to hike; the views may be the same, but the feeling never is. Following the same idea, we develop into beings that can do more. However, we can’t get the same satisfaction as we expect. I don’t mean that everything needs to be done the hard way. But we must take challenges seriously, or we’ll face the danger of becoming creatures whose lives are less satisfying. 9. What makes demanding technologies different from easy technologies? A. It requires much effort. B. It takes little attention. C. It achieves intended effect. D. It deals with machines. 10. What is a possible result of easy technologies? A. More time for concentration. B. Writing much longer letters. C. Lower expectations on others. D. Doing various tasks at a time. 11. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Noticed. B. Stressed. C. Improved. D. Removed. 12. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. The Argument Over Cake Mixes B. What Is A Demanding Technology? C. The Problem With Easy Technologies D. What Challenges Do Humans Face? 【答案】9. A 10. D 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了要求高的技术包含的要素，以及简单技术面临的问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure.(那么什么是要求高的技术呢？其中包括两个因素：一是技术需要时间来掌握，另一个是它的操作包含一些真正的失败风险)”以及第三段“Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system.(因此，钢琴是一项要求很高的技术，就像编程语言或机器系统一样)”可知，要求高的技术与简单的技术不同，是由于要求高的技术需要很多的努力。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理).(而且，当每个任务都很容易时，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”可知，简单技术可能带来的结果是一次做多个不同的任务。故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理).(而且，当每个任务都很容易时，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”以及划线词上文“Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets”中but表示转折，说明简单的技术本应使我们能够专注于重要的事情，但有时重要的事情却被移除了。推测划线词意思是“移除”，与Removed意义相近。故选D。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). (显然，在过去的一个世纪里，简单的技术重塑了人类社会，但问题是，随着每一项个人任务变得更容易，我们对自己和他人的要求都要高得多。因此，我们面临的是更多的小任务（写数百封电子邮件），而不是更少的困难任务（写几封长信）。而且，当每一项任务都很容易的时候，几乎所有的人都在多任务处理)”、第五段“Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. (简单的技术本可以让我们专注于重要的事情，但有时重要的事情会被移除)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了要求高的技术包含的要素，以及简单技术面临的问题，C选项“简单技术的问题”最符合作为文章标题。故选C。 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。有两项为多余选项。 The idea of Leave No Trace (痕迹) might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects-of millions of outdoor visitors. One poorly located campsite may have little significance. ___13___. Leaving no trace is everyone’s responsibility, and here are some Leave No Trace tips for visitors to lessen their impact as much as possible. Plan ahead and prepare. Arranging an-outdoor activity is necessary for leaving no trace and it makes the trip more enjoyable. ___14___. For example, if you weren’t prepared for rain while camping, you might need to construct a structure out of natural materials, thereby impacting the landscape. Leave what you find. Allow others a sense of discovery, and preserve (保护) the past. Leave rocks, plants, animals, and other objects as you find them. You especially shouldn’t touch or move native species away from the location, or you may possibly harm their habitats or spread them to non-native locations. ___15___ Respect wildlife. Quick movements and loud noises cause stress for animals. ___16___ They observe wildlife distantly to avoid disturbing (打扰) them. Keep garbage and food away from animals so they will not develop bad habits. They know the importance of keeping wildlife wild. ___17___. Pack it in; pack it out. This simple yet effective saying encourages visitors to take their rubbish home with them. It makes sense to carry out of the wilderness the extra materials taken there by your group or others. Examine your campsite and accept the challenge of packing out all the rubbish and leftover food. A. Deal with waste properly. B. Take care of other visitors. C. They drive animals sway from their habitats. D. Thoughtful campers usually know the do’s and don’ts well. E. Leave nature be and take photos or appreciate it in the distance. F. Poor planning may cause unexpected damage to the environment. G. Thousands of such cases, however, affect the outdoor experience for all. 【答案】13. G 14. F 15. E 16. D 17. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了“不留痕迹”（Leave No Trace）的户外活动理念，并提出相关建议。 【13题详解】 根据上文“The idea of Leave No Trace ( 痕迹) might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects-of millions of outdoor visitors. One poorly located campsite may have little significance.(在考虑数百万户外游客的综合影响之前，“不留痕迹”的想法似乎并不重要。一个位置不佳的露营地可能没什么大不了的。)”和下文“Leaving no trace is everyone’s responsibility(不留痕迹是每个人的责任)”可以推断出这里需要一个转折，表示虽然一个露营地影响不大，但多个露营地的影响却是巨大的。G项：Thousands of such cases, however, affect the outdoor experience for all.(然而，成千上万这样的案例影响了所有人的户外体验。)符合语境。故选G。 【14题详解】 根据下文“For example, if you weren’t prepared for rain while camping, you might need to construct a structure out of natural materials, thereby impacting the landscape.(例如，如果你露营时没有为雨天做好准备，你可能需要用天然材料建造一个结构，从而破坏景观。)”可知，计划不周会导致环境问题。F项：Poor planning may cause unexpected damage to the environment.(拙劣的规划可能会对环境造成意想不到的破坏。)符合语境。故选F。 【15题详解】 根据上文“You especially shouldn’t touch or move native species away from the location, or you may possibly harm their habitats or spread them to non-native locations.(你尤其不应该触摸或移动当地物种，否则你可能会破坏它们的栖息地或把它们传播到非原生地。)”可知，我们应该尊重并保护自然。E项：Leave nature be and take photos or appreciate it in the distance.(不要去打扰大自然，可以拍照或从远处欣赏。)符合语境，建议人们以非破坏性的方式欣赏自然。故选E。 【16题详解】 根据下文“They observe wildlife distantly to avoid disturbing (打扰) them.(他们从远处观察野生动物以避免打扰它们。)”可知，此处表示这些露营者知道如何尊重野生动物。下文中的“they”指代D项中的“Thoughtful campers”。D项：Thoughtful campers usually know the do’s and don’ts well.(有思想的露营者通常知道什么该做，什么不该做。)符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 空处为段落主旨句。根据下文“Pack it in; pack it out. This simple yet effective saying encourages visitors to take their rubbish home with them.(“带上它，带走它。”这句简单却有效的话语鼓励游客把自己的垃圾带回家。)”可知，本段主要讨论的是如何处理垃圾的问题。A项：Deal with waste properly.(妥善处理垃圾。)符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共三节，满分40分） 第一节完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, ____18____ people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields. Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Sweden. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (硝酸甘油) in Paris. Interested in its irregular ____19____ of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a ____20____ explosive. After years of ____21____ in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel invented dynamite (炸药), which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He ____22____ his wealth from his 355 inventions, among which dynamite was the most important. When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper ____23____ published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was ____24____ to find out his public image. The newspaper strongly ____25____ Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became ____26____ by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” To Alfred, this obituary was a(n) ____27____. He spent his lifetime alone ____28____ things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will, so as to ____29____ his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause. In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last ____30____ saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great ____31____ to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.

They’ve been after me for weeks, and they’re like: “Hey, come on. We need you in the team.” They are such great peer pressure! They totally know I’m not ready yet because I hurt my wrist and now I have to learn to serve with my other hand. It could take years for a former leftie to develop a right-handed serve （发球）that’s good enough for competitive play. I slipped out of the car. “Hey!” Oh no. Coach Johnson. My team leader. “Are you going to play in the match next week?” she shouted at me from the court where she was overseeing practice. I rushed past. “Hey, come back here! Are you even on this team?” That was so embarrassing. I was trying to ignore her because I just wasn’t ready. I needed more time to recover. Just then, luckily, I saw Alex, my tennis role model and former doubles partner, standing up on the other side of the court. He would have to protect me. I walked toward him. Then the worst thing ever happened: Alex turned on me, too. “Hey, are you ever going to play again?” he said aloud. “I don’t think I can do this,” I said. “Why not?” he asked. “I’m scared.” “Of what?” he asked. “Embarrassing myself,” I said. “You don’t need a hard serve to win,” he said. “All you need to do is get the ball over the net every time it comes to you. The winner, in tennis and in life, is usually the one with fewer unforced errors.” he said. His words impressed me. The unforced error is when you beat yourself and the worst error of all is when you don’t even try. “I’m ready to play,” I whispered to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a newfound determination, I walked back towards Coach Johnson. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match came, and I stepped onto the court. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With a newfound determination, I walked back towards Coach Johnson. The team stopped practicing, all eyes on me. I could feel the weight of their expectations, but Alex’s words echoed in my mind. I raised my hand to signal my readiness. Coach Johnson's face broke into a smile. “Glad to have you back,” she said, and the team erupted into cheers. I joined the practice, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and excitement. As I served with my right hand, it wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to keep the ball in play. My teammates gathered around me, encouraging and supporting my every move. The match came, and I stepped onto the court. My wrist was still aching but my spirit was unbroken. Amidst the deafening crowd, I concentrated on each point, striving to minimize unforced errors. The game was tough, and we didn’t win, but we fought with everything we had. As we left the court, I knew I’d made the right choice. I'd faced my fear and played with all my heart. My wrist might have been injured, but my spirit was stronger than ever. I’d learned that in tennis, as in life, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up and giving it your best shot. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为网球队员，因手腕受伤而害怕在比赛中出丑，试图躲避队友和教练的期待。但在网球偶像兼前搭档的鼓励下，作者重拾信心，认识到减少非受迫性错误才是获胜的关键。最终，作者决定勇敢面对挑战，展现出坚强不屈的精神，并意识到在网球和生活中，重要的是全力以赴、勇于尝试，而非追求完美。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“带着新发现的决心，我朝约翰逊教练走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者带着决心回归队伍，队友和教练对他的回归表示欢迎，作者也加入了练习，尽管发球并不完美，但尽力训练。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛开始了，我走上了球场。”可知，第二段可描写作者带着受伤的手腕，集中精神打好每一分，尽管比赛输了，但作者全力以赴，明白了网球和生活中最重要的是尽力而为。 2.续写线索：回归队伍——决心——欢迎——加入练习——比赛开始——全力以赴——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回响：echo/resound ②爆发出欢呼声：erupt into cheers/break into cheers ③集中精力：concentrate on/ focus on 情绪类 ①突然笑了起来：break into a smile/bust out laughing ②恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] My teammates gathered around me, encouraging and supporting my every move. （运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] The game was tough, and we didn’t win, but we fought with everything we had. （运用了省略了引导词that的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 苏大附中2024-2025学年第二学期期中检测 高一年级英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 总分150分） 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分22.5分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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.

The story is based on his life as a person from Peckham, London, born to French and Madagascan parents. To Lessore, Peckham is a warm and friendly place where most of his family live, but it hasn’t always had this reputation (名声). In 2001, due to fightings in the area involving young people, there was a “push to get kids off the street” and into community centers. Similarly, in King of Nothing, the main character Anton keeps getting in trouble and his mum makes him join an activity club called the Happy Campers. At first Anton hates it but then he makes an unlikely friend and starts to see the power of a community working together. Lessore is one of eight children and describes his family as a “big bustle” (place of exciting activity). As a kid, he remembers his mum taking him and his siblings (兄弟姐妹) to the local library to keep them busy. “Little did my mum know she was doing us a huge service because she was putting us in the presence of books.” Lessore also gets inspired by slang (an informal way of speaking used by a group of local people) he hears on London’s streets. “I don’t travel on subways with headphones so I can overhear conversations.” If he hears an interesting phrase or word he saves it up and puts it down and constructs them in his book. In King of Nothing Anton discovers that what others think of him is not as important as he thought. Lessore repeats this when giving advice to young readers. “Popularity means nothing.” His advice is to read, travel and be kind. The world is so big. There is so much to see. And, just like exploring new places, pursuing writing as a career “is not impossible… it’s achievable”. 1 Why was Anton required to join the Happy Campers? A. His misbehavior. B. His bad reputation. C. The community requirement. D. His poor education. 2. What has a deep effect on Lessore’s success? A. His growing surroundings. B. The influence of his siblings. C. The interest in social activities. D. His massive access to books. 3. What can we know about King of Nothing? A. It comes from a real story. B. It tells about a mother’s struggle. C. It stresses the function of the community. D. It inspires readers to be writers. 4. What did the author want to express? A. Enjoyment comes first. B. Enrich and fulfill yourself. C. Reputation plays an important role. D. Travel to explore the unseen. B A new study predicts nearly 75% of us will face extreme weather in 20 years. “In the best case, we predict that rapid changes will affect 1.5 billion people,” says physicist Bjorn Samset from Norway. This lower estimate would only be reached by reducing greenhouse gas emissions（排放）in a large degree — something that is yet to occur. Otherwise climate scientist Carley Iles and her colleagues’ modeling finds that if we continue on our current course, these dangerous changes will hit 70 percent of the Earth’s population. Their modeling also suggests that much of what’s to come is already locked in. Samset advises preparing for unexpected extreme events in the next 1-2 decades. We’ve already lived through examples of these extremes. Data from Europe’s climate service Copernicus shows Earth just had its hottest Northern Hemisphere summer on record. The Southern Hemisphere has been experiencing a record-breaking warm winter too. This global temperature increase has brought with it fatal fires, floods, storms, and droughts that are destroying crops and leading to increasingly widespread hunger, creating favorable conditions for the spread of more diseases as well. “Like people living in a war zone with the constant sounds of bombs and guns, we are becoming deaf to what should be alarm bells,” says climate scientist Jennifer Francis. With extreme emissions cuts we can reduce some of these impacts, but this will cause some regions more immediate issues too. “While cleaning the air is critical for health reasons, air pollution has also masked some of the effects of global warming,” explains professor Laura Wilcox from England. “But not acting means these worsening weather extremes will likely impact most of us within the very near future.” “These conclusions emphasize the need for both continued mitigation（缓解）and adaptation to potentially unexpected changes over the next 20 years even under a low-emissions condition,” writes Iles. 5. What can help to reduce the impact of extreme weather changes? A. Building more disaster prevention projects. B. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a great extent. C. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources. D. Improving early warning systems for extreme weather. 6. Why are people getting deaf to extreme weather? A. As a result of social and economic pressures. B. Because of the media’s over-reporting of extreme weather. C. Because people have experienced so many weather extremes. D. Due to improved technology that can better predict extreme weather. 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The side effects of emission cuts. B. The benefits of global cooperation. C. The serious situation of the future climate changes. D. Other measures to slow down climate change. 8. Which of the following can be the best title? A. What to do with disasters. B. Preparing for extreme weather. C. Measures to reduce emissions. D. How to fight against extreme events. C In the 1930s, the first cake mixes (蛋糕粉) which only required water were invented and some people argued that this approach, the easiest, was the best. But others thought cooks would want to do more. The cake-mix argument may be out-dated, but its central question remains: Just how demanding do we want our technologies to be? Then what is a demanding technology? Two elements are included: One is that it is technology that takes time to master, and the other is that its operation includes some real risk of failure. Therefore, a piano is a demanding technology, as is a programming language or a machine system. However, so-called easy technologies usually require little concentrated effort and produce predictable results. Clearly, easy technologies have remade human society over the past century, but the problem is that, as every individual task becomes easier, we demand much more of both ourselves and others. As a result, we are faced with a larger number of small tasks(writing hundreds of e-mails)instead of fewer difficult tasks (writing several long letters). And, when every task is easy, nearly all people are multitasking (多任务处理). Easy technologies supposedly free us to focus on what matters, but sometimes what matters gets eliminated. Everyone knows that it is easier to drive to the top of a mountain than to hike; the views may be the same, but the feeling never is. Following the same idea, we develop into beings that can do more. However, we can’t get the same satisfaction as we expect. I don’t mean that everything needs to be done the hard way. But we must take challenges seriously, or we’ll face the danger of becoming creatures whose lives are less satisfying. 9. What makes demanding technologies different from easy technologies? A. It requires much effort. B. It takes little attention. C. It achieves intended effect. D. It deals with machines. 10. What is a possible result of easy technologies? A. More time for concentration. B. Writing much longer letters. C. Lower expectations on others. D. Doing various tasks at a time. 11. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Noticed. B. Stressed. C. Improved. D. Removed. 12. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. The Argument Over Cake Mixes B. What Is A Demanding Technology? C. The Problem With Easy Technologies D. What Challenges Do Humans Face? 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。有两项为多余选项。 The idea of Leave No Trace (痕迹) might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects-of millions of outdoor visitors.

They’ve been after me for weeks, and they’re like: “Hey, come on. We need you in the team.” They are such great peer pressure! They totally know I’m not ready yet because I hurt my wrist and now I have to learn to serve with my other hand. It could take years for a former leftie to develop a right-handed serve （发球）that’s good enough for competitive play. I slipped out of the car. “Hey!” Oh no. Coach Johnson. My team leader. “Are you going to play in the match next week?” she shouted at me from the court where she was overseeing practice. I rushed past. “Hey, come back here! Are you even on this team?” That was so embarrassing. I was trying to ignore her because I just wasn’t ready. I needed more time to recover. Just then, luckily, I saw Alex, my tennis role model and former doubles partner, standing up on the other side of the court. He would have to protect me. I walked toward him. Then the worst thing ever happened: Alex turned on me, too. “Hey, are you ever going to play again?” he said aloud. “I don’t think I can do this,” I said. “Why not?” he asked. “I’m scared.” “Of what?” he asked. “Embarrassing myself,” I said. “You don’t need a hard serve to win,” he said. “All you need to do is get the ball over the net every time it comes to you. The winner, in tennis and in life, is usually the one with fewer unforced errors.” he said. His words impressed me. The unforced error is when you beat yourself and the worst error of all is when you don’t even try. “I’m ready to play” I whispered to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a newfound determination, I walked back towards Coach Johnson. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match came, and I stepped onto the court. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
