Here are four science research competitions designed for high schoolers. Breakthrough Junior Challenge The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video in which they explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice. Awards include a $250, 000 college scholarship, and a $50, 000 award to a teacher of the winner’s choosing. Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own or in teams of up to three members. Winners receive a paid trip to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair This competition is the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition. Students showcase independent research and compete across 22 categories for awards varying from $500 to $75, 000. This is not a group-based competition — individual students sigh up for local school science fairs before advancing to upper-level competitions. American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize This competition challenges students to investigate problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting. 21. What is the aim of the competitions? A. To train a candidate for ideal colleges. B. To fuel the passion for scientific research. C. To ensure admission to the dream college. D.

The participants need to pull together. D. The winner’s teacher is also presented an award. 23. Which competition might enable participants to become a doctor? A. Breakthrough Junior Challenge. B. Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest. C. Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. D. American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize. B Very few of us become fluent in another language by studying it in high school. I went to university and then moved across the country, pursued a demanding career, married and raised children. I made an effort to maintain the little bit of French that I learned in school, but eventually realized that this was pointless. I was well aware that new languages were best learned at a young age, and that our abilities in that regard declined with age. However, just before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes. After I was tested to see which group I belonged to, I was placed at almost the introductory level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was struck by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or even fifth language. Contrary to my assumption that learning a new language was extremely difficult, there were people who learned new languages as a matter of course. I found that it was really true that certain linguistic abilities faded with age. While I’d always thought of myself as a quick learner, that was no longer the case. I absorbed new vocabulary very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to slip away as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again. Now, after a couple of years, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn’t go too fast. Who knows what I might still accomplish? I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the courage to make fools of themselves in order to learn something new. Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a renewed understanding of how something can look completely different from another perspective. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of thinking. But most of all, I’ve learned that it is really never too late to learn something new. 24. What did the author notice about her classmates in the first French class? A. Most of them were young language learners. B. They came from diverse cultural backgrounds. C. They were learning French as an additional language. D. They had already well mastered multiple languages. 25. What was the biggest challenge for the author when learning French? A. She often confused French with English. B. Her slower learning ability than before. C. She found the language structures puzzling. D. She couldn’t have conversations in French. 26. What can we know about the author after her studying French for a few years? A. She became a fluent French speaker. B. She could teach others French vocabulary. C. She became aware of a different cultural perspective. D. She considered listening to news effective for learning. 27. What’s the main idea of the article? A. Age isn’t a barrier to learning. B. Language skills decline with age. C. Consistent practice leads to success. D. Connecting with diverse people matters. C While some critics claim that history curricula (课程) teach unnecessary content, others argue that these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow. The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. However, understanding the historical inquiry(历史探索) process is the most important component. This process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the telling of history. Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author’s credibility and potential bias (偏见). Students are then able to place the information they learn within its broader context and can think more critically about historical context and those who tell it. With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature, values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize common themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches students to develop a healthy skepticism ( 怀疑态度) when presented with information today because our actions are history in the making. Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what’s behind us. Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from our ancestors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that tomorrow’s students will be proud to learn about. 28. What is the biggest academic significance of history learning? A. Recalling important dates and names. B. Enriching people’s everyday life. C. Grasping historical inquiry skills. D. Making people more knowledgeable. 29. What does the underlined word “critique” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Protect. B. Comment. C. Combine. D. Remember. 30. What is the purpose of citing James Fitzgerald’s statement? A. To stress the importance of history. B. To point out the essence of education. C. To indicate famous people learn from history. D. To show history contributes to people’s achievements. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A. History Pushes the Wheel of the Times B. History is created by productive citizens C. History Curricula Are Gaining More Attention D. History Curricula Shape Tomorrow’s Decision Makers D The intelligence of crows(乌鸦) continues to surprise scientists. According to a research published this week in Science, crows can indeed count. The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tübingen in Germany. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows do not appear to be capable of symbolic counting, where numbers serve as an exact representation. Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发出的声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one”. The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.” In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward. After receiving about 180 training sessions, all of the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations associated with the hints at a level higher than chance — a “pretty cool” finding, Liao says. She suspects, too, that the crows could have mastered numbers higher than four if they were given the opportunity. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected” given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence. 32. What is the new research about? A. Crows’ ability to count. B. Crows’ skill of solving problems. C. A comparison between crows and babies. D. An investigation into auditory ability. 33. Why does the author mention a baby counting apples in paragraph 3? A. To explain how babies think. B. To clarify how crows count. C. To illustrate the wisdom of crows. D. To display baby learning progress. 34. How did the crows get the worm rewards? A. By counting objects on the screen. B. By picking colors from the touch screen. C. By choosing between sounds and images. D. By matching sounds to visual and audio hints. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The results fit with previous findings. B. The study needs further confirmation. C. The biopsychologist is critical of the study. D. The results are beyond scientists’ expectations. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Some prefer running right away in the morning, while others enjoy a late afternoon workout. 36 While there’s evidence that late afternoon is the optimum（最佳的）time for a workout, other times also bring benefits. No matter what, the best time to exercise is the time that works best for you. According to research, you’ll get optimum results when your body temperature is at its highest. For most people, that’s between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., though some studies extend this time to 7 p.m. 37 Exercisers tend to perform better on physical performance tests measuring aerobic capacity and reaction time. In the morning, your body temperature is at the lowest point of the day. This indicates the morning isn’t the best time to exercise. However, running in the morning may help keep you motivated. Additionally, early morning is the coolest part of the day during warmer months. 38 When it comes to choosing the right time for workouts, adapt your routine to fit your lifestyle. Letting your exercise routine naturally fit into your schedule can relieve the stress of finding time to work out. 39 While you may not normally feel like working out during the time when you are available, it’s possible to adjust your biological clock to your schedule. 40 For instance, if you are training for a marathon, running in the morning can prepare you for the event because most marathons begin in the morning. Whatever sport you participate in, training during those times will help your body perform better on the game day. A. This will help you stick to it. B. You need to get an adequate amount of sleep. C. It is within these few hours that strength and endurance peak. D. Is there any advantage of exercising at any specific time of a day? E. You’ll be safer and more comfortable if you run when it’s not hot. F. Your exercise time should agree with the sport you’re training for. G. This is a topic of much debate among athletes and exercise experts. 第三部分 英语语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At James Madison High School in Virginia, a group of freshman students gave their beloved custodian (管理员), Francis Apraku, a birthday surprise.

Pam Bales, an experienced hiker, left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone. She’d checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed. The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees. She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge (山脊)toward Mount Washington and began to think about turning back. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which were fresh tracks made by someone not long ago. She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow. She had a feeling that whoever left those tracks might be in danger—the messy steps suggested these were probably from amateur hikers that had been ill-prepared for the wilderness. Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the footprints in the snow. 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。 Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not._____________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly._______________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$报告查询:登录zhixue.com或扫描二维码下载App (用户名和初始密码均为准考证号) 绵阳南山中学实验学校2023级高二（下）半期考试 英语试题 姓名：                班级：                 考场/座位号：                 注意事项 1．答题前请将姓名、班级、考场、准考证号填写清楚。 2．客观题答题，必须使用2B铅笔填涂，修改时用橡皮擦干净。 3．主观题答题，必须使用黑色签字笔书写。 4．必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效。 5．保持答卷清洁、完整。 正确填涂 缺考标记 准考证号                 [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] 单选题 1 [A] [B] [C] 2 [A] [B] [C] 3 [A] [B] [C] 4 [A] [B] [C] 5 [A] [B] [C] 6 [A] [B] [C] 7 [A] [B] [C] 8 [A] [B] [C] 9 [A] [B] [C] 10 [A] [B] [C] 11 [A] [B] [C] 12 [A] [B] [C] 13 [A] [B] [C] 14 [A] [B] [C] 15 [A] [B] [C] 16 [A] [B] [C] 17 [A] [B] [C] 18 [A] [B] [C] 19 [A] [B] [C] 20 [A] [B] [C] 21 [A] [B] [C] [D] 22 [A] [B] [C] [D] 23 [A] [B] [C] [D] 24 [A] [B] [C] [D] 25 [A] [B] [C] [D] 26 [A] [B] [C] [D] 27 [A] [B] [C] [D] 28 [A] [B] [C] [D] 29 [A] [B] [C] [D] 30 [A] [B] [C] [D] 31 [A] [B] [C] [D] 32 [A] [B] [C] [D] 33 [A] [B] [C] [D] 34 [A] [B] [C] [D] 35 [A] [B] [C] [D] 36 [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] 37 [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] 38 [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] 39 [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] 40 [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] 41 [A] [B] [C] [D] 42 [A] [B] [C] [D] 43 [A] [B] [C] [D] 44 [A] [B] [C] [D] 45 [A] [B] [C] [D] 46 [A] [B] [C] [D] 47 [A] [B] [C] [D] 48 [A] [B] [C] [D] 49 [A] [B] [C] [D] 50 [A] [B] [C] [D] 51 [A] [B] [C] [D] 52 [A] [B] [C] [D] 53 [A] [B] [C] [D] 54 [A] [B] [C] [D] 55 [A] [B] [C] [D] 填空题 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 应用文写作 Dear editor, Yours sincerely， Li Hua 读后续写 Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not.

Yours sincerely Li Hua 读后续写 Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. If she chose to follow the tracks, she’d add time and risk to her hiking. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger. She couldn’t let this go. She called out into the frozen fog, “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?” Then she walked cautiously in the direction of the tracks. Minutes later, she spotted a figure sitting on a rock, trembling in the wind. His face was in pain as he said, “My ankle... I think it’s broken.” Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly. Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, and then she swiftly wrapped his leg with a bandage from her bag. “We need to get out here as soon as possible,” said Bales. She supported the man and walked slowly along the trail. With great efforts, they managed to get out of the mountain.The man, tears in eyes, whispered, “You saved my life.” Bales simply nodded, knowing no mountain could outweigh a single human heartbeat. 听力原文 听力第一节（短对话） Text 1 W: Do you know anything about the arts festival in our city?

I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again.”可知，虽然作者一直认为自己学东西很快，但事实并非如此。她掌握新词汇的速度很慢，似乎一学到下一项技巧，就会很快忘掉这一周学的东西。她会反复去查相同的单词和语言结构。因此，作者在学习法语时最大的挑战是她学东西不像以前那么快了。故选B项。 26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a renewed understanding of how something can look completely different from another perspective. ” 可知，作者听着向法国人民介绍的新闻，重新理解了从另一个角度来看，事情是如何完全不同的这一道理。因此，经过多年的学习，作者意识到了从不同的文化视角看同一个问题，结果也不同。故选C项。 27. 主旨大意题。根据第二段的第一句及最后一段的内容可知，作者在50岁生日前决定重拾法语，她认为学习新事物永远也不晚。由此可知，本文的主旨是：对于那些决心学习新事物的人来说，年龄不是问题。故选A项。 C篇 语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了学习历史对人们的重要意义，认为学习历史能够让学生们成为积极、主动、高效的公民， 28. C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The greatest academic value that... understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component.”可知，作者认为学习历史的最大的学术意义在于了解历史研究过程，学习相关技巧。故选 C。 29.B词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词后文中的“Students not only begin to analyze and... can think more critically about historical context and those who tell. it. ” 可知，通过合适的历史课程，学生们还能更批判性地思考。由此推知，画线词 critique 与 comment“评价”意思一致。故选B。 30.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Forty years ago，renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. ” 可推知，文章提到詹姆斯•菲茨杰拉德是为了强调历史的重要性。故选 A。 31.D标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Despite.•.strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow. ”及下文内容可知，文章主要分析了学习历史的重要意义。由此可知，D项“History Curricula Shape Tomorrow's Decision Makers”适合作本文标题。故选 D。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于乌鸦计数能力的新研究，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。 32. 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tubingen in Germany.（该研究的主要作者、德国图宾根大学的研究员 Diana Liao说，研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。）”可知，该研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿，由此可知，这项新研究是关于乌鸦的计数能力。故选A项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (K) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before Learning symbolic numbers, Liao says.（相反，鸟类通过控制它们发出的声音数量来计数，以对应相关的提示。廖说，这类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式。）”可知，乌类的计数方式类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式，幼儿数苹果正是幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式，由此可知，作者在第3段中提到幼儿数苹果是为了阐明乌鸦是如何计数的。故选B项。 34. 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint.If they got it right,they received a worm reward.（在这项研究中，廖和她的同事们向乌鸦提供了随机排列的提示，其中四个是出现在触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字。其中四个是听觉的，包括吉他和鼓发出的声音。通过反复试验，鸟类必须找出与每个提示配对的正确叫声数量。 如果它们做对了，它们会得到蠕虫奖励。）可知，乌鸦需要将触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字和听觉的声音匹配正确，才会得到蠕虫奖励，由此可知，乌鸦是通过将声音与视觉和听觉提示相匹配得到虫子奖励。故选D项。 35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Onur Giintirkiin, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is "excellent" even if the findings are "not unexpected" given all that scientists already know about crows' intelligence.（德国波鸿鲁尔大学的生物心理学家 Onur Gintirkin 没有参与这项研究，他说，考虑到科学家们对乌鸦智力的所有了解，即使这些发现“并不出乎意料”，这篇新论文也是“优秀的”。）可知，这些发现并不出乎意料，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出研究结果与以前的发现一致。故选A。 七选五 36. 语境衔接题。根据空前Some prefer running right away in the morning, while others enjoy a late afternoon workout.（有些人喜欢一大早就去跑步，而另一些人则喜欢在下午晚些时候锻炼。）以及空后While there's evidence that late afternoon is the optimum time for a workout, other times also bring benefits.（虽然有证据表明傍晚是锻炼的最佳时间，但其他时间也有好处。）可知，空处的内容承上启下，应与锻炼的时间有关，D选项Is there any advantage of exercising at any specific time of day？（一天中的特定时间锻炼有什么好处吗？）符合语境。故选D。 37. 联系上文题。根据上文For most people,that's between 4 p.m.and 5 p.m., though some studies extend this time to 7 p.m.（对于大多数人来说，这段时间是在下午4点到5点之间，尽管有些研究将这一时间延长到晚上7点。）可知，大多数人会在下午四点到五点或者延伸到7点能达到最佳效果。C选项中的within these few hours与between 4 p.m.and 5p.m.相呼应, C选项lt is within these few hours that strength and endurance peak.（在这些时间段内，力量和耐力达到峰值。）说明要在这段时间锻炼的原因，符合语境。故选C。 38. 联系上文题。根据上文Additionally，early morning is the coolest part of the day during warmer months.（此外，早晨是较暖月份中一天中最凉快的时间。）可知，早晨天气凉爽，锻炼应该是最舒适的。E选项中的when it's not hot与the coolest part of the day相互呼应，E选项You’ll be safer and more comfortable if you run when it's not hot. (如果你在不热的时候跑步，你会更安全、更舒适。）符合语境，故选E。 39. 联系上文题。根据上文Letting your exercise routine naturally fit into your schedule can relieve the stress off in ding time to workout.（让你的锻炼计划自然地融入你的日程安排，可以减轻找到锻炼时间的压力。）可知，让锻炼计划融入日程安排可以更容易坚持下去。A选项中的This指代Letting your exercise routine naturally fit into your schedule; it指代workout。A选项 This will help you stick to it. (这将帮你坚持下去。）符合语境。故选A。 40. 联系下文题。根据下文Whatever sport you participate in, training during those times will help your body perform better on the game day.（无论从事哪种运动，在相应时间段进行训练能帮助身体在比赛当天发挥更好。）可知，锻炼时间应该与所进行的运动类型一致。F选项Your exercise time should agree with the sport you' re training for.（你的锻炼时间应与所训练的运动项目相一致。）符合语境。 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了弗吉尼亚詹姆斯・麦迪逊高中的学生得知管理员弗朗西斯・阿普拉库的生日愿望是新车，众筹助其圆梦，令管理员感动不已。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在弗吉尼亚州的詹姆斯・麦迪逊高中，一群新生给了他们敬爱的管理员弗朗西斯・阿普拉库一个他永远不会忘记的生日惊喜。A. display展示；B. return返回；归还；C. forget忘记D. admit承认；。根据前文“a group of freshman students gave their beloved custodian (管理员), Francis Apraku, a birthday surprise”可知，这个惊喜是令人难忘的，所以是他永远不会“忘记”。故选C。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：弗朗西斯来自加纳，十年前搬到了美国，现在已经成为学校社区的一部分。A. leader领导者；B.hero英雄 ；C. example例子；榜样；D. part部分。根据后文““Ever since we met Francis, he has been super kind and ___4___,” one student shared.”他和学生们的友好相处可知，他成为了学校社区的“一部分”。故选D。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他那有感染力的善良和友好给学生们留下了持久的影响。A.infectious有感染力的；B. astonishing令人惊讶的；C. temporary暂时的；D. deadly致命的。根据后文“His kindness is contagious (有感染力的)” 可知，他的善良是“有感染力的”。故选A。 【44题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他那有感染力的善良和友好给学生们留下了持久的影响。A. peace和平；B. impact影响；C. decision决定；D.burden负担 。结合上文的“kindness and friendliness”推断这里表达的是他的善良和友好给学生们留下了持久的影响，leave a lasting impact on...为固定短语，意为“对……留下持久的影响”，符合语境。故选B。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“自从我们遇到弗朗西斯，他就一直超级善良和友好，” 一名学生分享道。A. ambitious有雄心的；B. intelligent聪明的；C.sympathetic同情的.；D. friendly友好的。根据前文“His ___3___ kindness and friendliness”可知，此处指他善良且“友好”。故选D。 【46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当被问及他的生日愿望时，弗朗西斯提到了他一生的梦想，拥有一辆新车，尽管他认为这远远超出了他的能力范围。A. party派对；B.wish愿望 ；C. card卡片；D. trip旅行。根据后文“Francis mentioned his lifelong dream of owning a new car”可知，这里问的是他的生日“愿望”。故选B。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当被问及他的生日愿望时，弗朗西斯提到了他一生的梦想，拥有一辆新车，尽管他认为这远远超出了他的能力范围。A. ability能力；B.expectation期望；C. knowledge知识；D. control控制。结合前文“Francis mentioned his lifelong dream of owning a new car”这里表示他觉得买新车超出了他的能力。可知，意为“超出某人的财力”。故选A。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一群学生决心让他的梦想成真，于是发起了一场 GoFundMe 众筹活动来筹集资金。A.

Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, and then she swiftly wrapped his leg with a bandage from her bag. “We need to get out here as soon as possible,” said Bales. She supported the man and walked slowly along the trail. With great efforts, they managed to get out of the mountain.The man, tears in eyes, whispered, “You saved my life.” Bales simply nodded, knowing no mountain could outweigh a single human heartbeat. 听力原文 2 听力第一节（短对话） Text 1 W: Do you know anything about the arts festival in our city?

I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again.”可知，虽然作者一直认为自己学东西很快，但事实 并非如此。她掌握新词汇的速度很慢，似乎一学到下一项技巧，就会很快忘掉这 一周学的东西。她会反复去查相同的单词和语言结构。因此，作者在学习法语时 最大的挑战是她学东西不像以前那么快了。故选 B项。 26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a renewed understanding of how something can look completely different from another perspective. ” 可知，作者听着向法国人民介绍的 新闻，重新理解了从另一个角度来看，事情是如何完全不同的这一道理。因此， 经过多年的学习，作者意识到了从不同的文化视角看同一个问题，结果也不同。 故选 C项。 27. 主旨大意题。根据第二段的第一句及最后一段的内容可知，作者在 50 岁生 日前决定重拾法语，她认为学习新事物永远也不晚。由此可知，本文的主旨是： 5 对于那些决心学习新事物的人来说，年龄不是问题。故选 A项。 C篇 语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了学习历史对人们的重要意义，认 为学习历史能够让学生们成为积极、主动、高效的公民， 28. C 细 节 理解 题 。 根 据第 二 段 中的 “The greatest academic value that... understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component.”可知， 作者认为学习历史的最大的学术意义在于了解历史研究过程，学习相关技巧。故 选 C。 29.B词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词后文中的“Students not only begin to analyze and... can think more critically about historical context and those who tell. it. ” 可知， 通过合适的历史课程，学生们还能更批判性地思考。由此推知，画线词 critique 与 comment“评价”意思一致。故选 B。 30.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Forty years ago，renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. ” 可推知，文章提到詹姆斯•菲茨杰拉德是为了强调历史的重要性。故选 A。 31.D标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Despite.•.strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow. ”及下文内容可知，文章主要分 析了学习历史的重要意义。由此可知，D 项“History Curricula Shape Tomorrow's Decision Makers”适合作本文标题。故选 D。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于乌鸦计数能力的新研究，乌鸦的计数能力接近 人类婴儿。 32. 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tubingen in Germany.（该研究的主要作者、德国图宾根大学的 研究员 Diana Liao说，研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿。）”可知， 该研究结果表明，乌鸦的计数能力接近人类婴儿，由此可知，这项新研究是关于 乌鸦的计数能力。故选 A项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (K) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before Learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. （相反，鸟类通过控制它们发出的声音数量来计数，以对应相关的提示。廖说， 这类似于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式。）”可知，乌类的计数方式类似 于幼儿在学习符号数字之前的计数方式，幼儿数苹果正是幼儿在学习符号数字之 前的计数方式，由此可知，作者在第 3段中提到幼儿数苹果是为了阐明乌鸦是如 何计数的。故选 B项。 34. 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint.If they got it right,they received a worm reward.（在这项研究中，廖和她的同事们向乌鸦提供了随机排列的提示， 其中四个是出现在触摸屏上的视觉彩色数字。其中四个是听觉的，包括吉他和鼓 发出的声音。通过反复试验，鸟类必须找出与每个提示配对的正确叫声数量。如 6 果它们做对了，它们会得到蠕虫奖励。）可知，乌鸦需要将触摸屏上的视觉彩色 数字和听觉的声音匹配正确，才会得到蠕虫奖励，由此可知，乌鸦是通过将声音 与视觉和听觉提示相匹配得到虫子奖励。故选 D项。 35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Onur Giintirkiin, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is "excellent" even if the findings are "not unexpected" given all that scientists already know about crows' intelligence.（德国波鸿鲁尔大学的生物心理学家 Onur Gintirkin 没有参与这项研究，他说，考虑到科学家们对乌鸦智力的所有了解， 即使这些发现“并不出乎意料”，这篇新论文也是“优秀的”。）可知，这些发现并 不出乎意料，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出研究结果与以前的发现一致。故 选 A。 七选五 36. 语境衔接题。根据空前 Some prefer running right away in the morning, while others enjoy a late afternoon workout.（有些人喜欢一大早就去跑步，而另一些人 则喜欢在下午晚些时候锻炼。）以及空后While there's evidence that late afternoon is the optimum time for a workout, other times also bring benefits.（虽然有证据表明 傍晚是锻炼的最佳时间，但其他时间也有好处。）可知，空处的内容承上启下， 应与锻炼的时间有关，D 选项 Is there any advantage of exercising at any specific time of day？（一天中的特定时间锻炼有什么好处吗？）符合语境。故选 D。 37. 联系上文题。根据上文 For most people,that's between 4 p.m.and 5 p.m., though some studies extend this time to 7 p.m.（对于大多数人来说，这段时间是在下午 4 点到 5点之间，尽管有些研究将这一时间延长到晚上 7点。）可知，大多数人会 在下午四点到五点或者延伸到 7点能达到最佳效果。C选项中的 within these few hours 与 between 4 p.m.and 5p.m.相呼应 , C 选项 lt is within these few hours that strength and endurance peak.（在这些时间段内，力量和耐力达到峰值。）说明要 在这段时间锻炼的原因，符合语境。故选 C。 38. 联系上文题。根据上文 Additionally，early morning is the coolest part of the day during warmer months.（此外，早晨是较暖月份中一天中最凉快的时间。）可知， 早晨天气凉爽，锻炼应该是最舒适的。E选项中的 when it's not hot与 the coolest part of the day 相互呼应，E 选项 You’ll be safer and more comfortable if you run when it's not hot.

I went to university and then moved across the country, pursued a demanding career, married and raised children. I made an effort to maintain the little bit of French that I learned in school, but eventually realized that this was pointless. I was well aware that new languages were best learned at a young age, and that our abilities in that regard declined with age. However, just before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes. After I was tested to see which group I belonged to, I was placed at almost the introductory level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was struck by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or even fifth language. Contrary to my assumption that learning a new language was extremely difficult, there were people who learned new languages as a matter of course. I found that it was really true that certain linguistic abilities faded with age. While I’d always thought of myself as a quick learner, that was no longer the case. I absorbed new vocabulary very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to slip away as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again. Now, after a couple of years, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn’t go too fast. Who knows what I might still accomplish? I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the courage to make fools of themselves in order to learn something new. Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a renewed understanding of how something can look completely different from another perspective. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of thinking. But most of all, I’ve learned that it is really never too late to learn something new. 24. What did the author notice about her classmates in the first French class? A. Most of them were young language learners. B. They came from diverse cultural backgrounds. C. They were learning French as an additional language. D. They had already well mastered multiple languages. 25. What was the biggest challenge for the author when learning French? A. She often confused French with English. B. Her slower learning ability than before. C. She found the language structures puzzling. D. She couldn’t have conversations in French. 26. What can we know about the author after her studying French for a few years? A. She became a fluent French speaker. B. She could teach others French vocabulary. C. She became aware of a different cultural perspective. D. She considered listening to news effective for learning. 27. What’s the main idea of the article? A. Age isn’t a barrier to learning. B. Language skills decline with age. C. Consistent practice leads to success. D. Connecting with diverse people matters. 5 C While some critics claim that history curricula (课程) teach unnecessary content, others argue that these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow. The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. However, understanding the historical inquiry(历史探索) process is the most important component. This process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the telling of history. Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author’s credibility and potential bias (偏见 ). Students are then able to place the information they learn within its broader context and can think more critically about historical context and those who tell it. With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature, values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize common themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches students to develop a healthy skepticism ( 怀疑态度) when presented with information today because our actions are history in the making. Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what’s behind us. Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from our ancestors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that tomorrow’s students will be proud to learn about. 28.

According to a research published this week in Science, crows can indeed count. The results show that crows have counting capacities near those of human babies, says lead study author Diana Liao, a researcher at the University of Tübingen in Germany. “We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species,” she adds. Crows do not appear to be capable of symbolic counting, where numbers serve as an exact representation. Instead, the birds count by controlling the number of vocalizations (发出的声音) they produce to correspond to associated hints. This is similar to how young children count before learning symbolic numbers, Liao says. For example, a baby who is asked how many apples are on a tree may answer, “One, one, one”. The baby produces the number of speech sounds which agree with that of the apples, rather than just saying, “Three.” In the study, Liao and her colleagues presented the crows with randomly ordered hints, four of which were visual-colored numbers that appeared on a touch screen. And four of them were auditory (听觉的 ), including sounds made by guitars and drums. Through trial and error, the birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each hint. If they got it right, they received a worm reward. After receiving about 180 training sessions, all of the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations associated with the hints at a level higher than chance — a “pretty cool” finding, Liao says. She suspects, too, that the crows could have mastered numbers higher than four if they were given the opportunity. Onur Güntürkün, a biopsychologist at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, who was not involved in the research, says the new paper is “excellent” even if the findings are “not unexpected” given all that scientists already know about crows’ intelligence. 32. What is the new research about? A. Crows’ ability to count. B. Crows’ skill of solving problems. C. A comparison between crows and babies. D. An investigation into auditory ability. 33. Why does the author mention a baby counting apples in paragraph 3? A. To explain how babies think. B. To clarify how crows count. C. To illustrate the wisdom of crows. D. To display baby learning progress. 34. How did the crows get the worm rewards? A. By counting objects on the screen. B. By picking colors from the touch screen. C. By choosing between sounds and images. D. By matching sounds to visual and audio hints. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The results fit with previous findings. B. The study needs further confirmation. C. The biopsychologist is critical of the study. D. The results are beyond scientists’ expectations. 7 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Some prefer running right away in the morning, while others enjoy a late afternoon workout. 36 While there’s evidence that late afternoon is the optimum（最佳的）time for a workout, other times also bring benefits. No matter what, the best time to exercise is the time that works best for you. According to research, you’ll get optimum results when your body temperature is at its highest. For most people, that’s between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., though some studies extend this time to 7 p.m. 37 Exercisers tend to perform better on physical performance tests measuring aerobic capacity and reaction time. In the morning, your body temperature is at the lowest point of the day. This indicates the morning isn’t the best time to exercise. However, running in the morning may help keep you motivated. Additionally, early morning is the coolest part of the day during warmer months. 38 When it comes to choosing the right time for workouts, adapt your routine to fit your lifestyle. Letting your exercise routine naturally fit into your schedule can relieve the stress of finding time to work out. 39 While you may not normally feel like working out during the time when you are available, it’s possible to adjust your biological clock to your schedule. 40 For instance, if you are training for a marathon, running in the morning can prepare you for the event because most marathons begin in the morning. Whatever sport you participate in, training during those times will help your body perform better on the game day. A. This will help you stick to it. B. You need to get an adequate amount of sleep. C. It is within these few hours that strength and endurance peak. D. Is there any advantage of exercising at any specific time of a day? E. You’ll be safer and more comfortable if you run when it’s not hot. F. Your exercise time should agree with the sport you’re training for. G. This is a topic of much debate among athletes and exercise experts. 第三部分 英语语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节 完形填空（共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以 填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 8 At James Madison High School in Virginia, a group of freshman students gave their beloved custodian (管理员), Francis Apraku, a birthday surprise.

Pam Bales, an experienced hiker, left the pavement of Base Road and stepped onto snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone. She’d checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed. The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees. She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge (山脊 )toward Mount Washington and began to think about turning back. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which were fresh tracks made by someone not long ago. She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow. She had a feeling that whoever left those tracks might be in danger— the messy steps suggested these were probably from amateur hikers that had been ill-prepared for the wilderness. Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the footprints in the snow. 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。 Paragraph 1: Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not._____________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: She approached the injured man instantly._______________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________
