A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了华盛顿的国家执法博物馆。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题“K-9 Units”段落下的“See a video of how dogs are trained to join K-9 Units. Test your ability to smell and identify various scents.Learn which kinds of dogs are better at tracking bad persons while others are better at sniffing out dangerous goods.(看视频如何训练狗加入K-9部队。测试你的嗅觉和辨别各种气味的能力。了解哪些狗更擅长追踪坏人，而哪些狗更擅长嗅出危险物品)”可知，K-9 Units展览的主题是警犬。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题“The Web of Law Enforcement”段落下的“You’ll quickly learn that crime-solving is a team effort, not only within one department, but among organizations across the country. Inspection Service is just one of the law enforcement groups helping local police when needed.For example, six organizations worked together on a national park graffiti case.(你很快就会知道破案是一个团队的工作，不仅仅是在一个部门内，而是在全国各地的组织之间。检查处只是在需要时帮助当地警察的执法组织之一。例如，六个组织在一起国家公园涂鸦案中合作)”可知，The Web of Law Enforcement展示了团队合作在破案中的重要性。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据小标题“The Training Simulator”段落下的““Many kids first think it’s like a video game,” said Alan Davis, an educator and New York police officer. “They soon realize that real-life decision-making in a second isn’t easy, and they freeze. For real police there are no second chances.”(“许多孩子一开始以为它像电子游戏，”教育家、纽约警官艾伦·戴维斯(Alan Davis)说。他们很快意识到，在现实生活中，在一秒钟内做出决定并不容易，于是他们愣住了。真正的警察没有第二次机会。”)”可推知，孩子们参加短视频测试后，他们是惊讶的。故选A项。 B篇 本文是一篇新闻类记叙文。文章主要介绍了被称为“深海博士”的Dituri博士在水下生活100天，打破了原有的世界纪录。 24. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The mission, known as Project Neptune 100, was a scientific attempt to study the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for a continuous period.”可知，这次任务是一项科学尝试，旨在研究长期生活在高压环境下的影响。再结合下文中的“He believed that high pressure ... including brain injuries.”可知，他认为，随着年龄的增长，高压可以帮助人们活得更长久、更健康，还可以帮助医生处理各种医疗问题，包括脑损伤。由此可推知，Dituri博士进行这次水下冒险是为了研究人体对高压的反应。故选D。 25. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time at the higher pressure undersea”可知，生活在高压的海底期间，他的身高缩水了1.3厘米。故选B。 26. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“He used the project as an educational experience for the youth. ‘I have communicated ... interested in science, technology, engineering and math,’”及最后一段中的“Dr. Dituri said ... ‘If we can get people excited about science, that would be a great success to me!’”可知，Dituri博士喜欢与年轻人进行交流，希望激发他们对科学的兴趣。故选C。 27. D 推理判断题。Dituri博士在水下生活100天，打破了原有的世界纪录，由此可以推测出Dituri博士是一个意志坚定的人；最后两段提到了Dituri博士与来自15个不同国家的5500多名年轻人进行互动并激励他们培养对科学的兴趣，由此可以推测出Dituri博士是一个能鼓舞别人的人。故选D。 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本的科学家想出来一个不同寻常的处理大量废弃尿布的方式：用它们代替建造混凝土房屋所需的一部分沙子。 28. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“which are frequently abandoned”可知，disposable应是abandoned的同义替换，abandoned表示“废弃的”，与throwaway“用后丢弃的”意思相近。故选C。 29. C 推理判断题。作者在第三段中提到了美国每年有超过80亿磅的尿布垃圾，也提到了2018年在印度尼西亚15个城市的水道中，尿布占到捞出垃圾的20%以上。这些数字说明了尿布是巨大的污染源。故选C。 30. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps the biggest challenge will be persuading people to use concrete made with diapers.”可知，最大的挑战是说服人们使用由尿布制成的混凝土。故选D。 31. D 标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了日本科学家针对脏尿布污染环境的问题，提出了用其代替建造混凝土房屋所需的一部分沙子这一解决方法。因此D项“用尿布建造房子”最能概括文章大意。故选D。 D篇 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇议说明文。文章讲述社交媒体扩大了我们的人际关系范围，但会引发孤独感和不自信。我们应该加强与现实生活中朋友的联系。 32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward.(为什么社交媒体会让人感到孤独和缺乏自信？因为这不是真实的生活，而是一种印象管理，一种推销自己的方式，仔细选择和过滤图片和文字，把你最好的一面展现出来。)”和文章第二段“Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.(一般来说，我们的社交媒体页面上没有未经过滤或随意拍摄的照片，因为对于一些我们实际上并不了解或尚未建立信任的“朋友”，完全真实和脆弱会让人感到不安全。)”可推知，社交媒体可能会让我们感到孤立和不安全。故选B。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.(一般来说，我们的社交媒体页面上没有未经过滤或随意拍摄的照片，因为对于一些我们实际上并不了解或尚未建立信任的“朋友”，完全真实和脆弱会让人感到不安全。)”可推知，人们在社交媒体上有选择性地发布照片，是因为他们并不认为所有的网友都值得信赖。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.(此外，我们倾向于把别人的生活理想化，把我们的失败和他们最伟大的成就作比较，最终感到孤独和缺乏自信。)”可知，人们往往将别人的生活描绘一幅美好的画面。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.(然而，社交媒体应该是一种有趣的体验，而不是一种导致消极思想和情绪的体验。如果是后者，增加与值得信赖的朋友面对面的时间，尽量减少上网的时间，这将会提醒你，你真正的社交网络比任何“喜欢”、“关注”或“分享”都要有价值得多。)”可知，当社交媒体让人产生了消极的感受时，作者建议人们加强与现实生活中的朋友而不是网上朋友的联系。故选B。 第二节 【答案】36．E 37．D 38．A 39．C 40．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些有助于团队合作成功的建议。 36．根据上文“A team has no direction without a leader.(一个团队没有领导就没有方向)”可知，本句承接上文说明团队领导的重要性以及作用，故E选项“这个人能够高效地完成任务是很重要的”符合语境，故选E。 37．根据上文“From the moment the team is formed, particular attention must be paid to assigning direct responsibilities to each member.(从团队形成的那一刻起，就必须特别注意分配每个成员的直接责任)”以及后文“This is an important step to make before going deeper into the project so that everyone is on the same page. If everyone is clear on what they are responsible for producing, it helps prevent people doing the same thing and less desirable tasks being avoided.(在深入项目之前，这是一个重要的步骤，这样每个人都在同一个页面上。如果每个人都清楚自己的责任是什么，这有助于防止人们做同样的事情，从而避免不太理想的任务)”可知，后文提到了“如果每个人都清楚自己的责任是什么，这有助于防止人们做同样的事情，从而避免不太理想的任务”，可知本句是在说明从一开始设定好每个人成员任务的意义：不会有权力的问题。故D选项“如果这些从一开始就设定好了，就不会有权力的问题”符合语境，故选D。 38．根据本段内容“Each team will comprise of a range of people from diverse backgrounds. It is important to set common goals the team is working towards so that the focus always remains on the finished product. Each team member must understand that personal goals must be set aside and team goals must remain the focus.(每个团队将由一系列来自不同背景的人组成。为团队设定共同的目标是很重要的，这样他们的注意力就会一直集中在最终的产品上。每个团队成员都必须明白，个人目标必须放在一边，团队目标必须保持重点)”可知，本段的主旨是个人目标必须放在一边，团队目标必须保持重点，即要有共同目标。故A选项“设定共同目标”符合语境，故选A。 39．根据上文“Each team member must understand that personal goals must be set aside and team goals must remain the focus.(每个团队成员都必须明白，个人目标必须放在一边，团队目标必须保持重点)”可知，上文强调了要保持团队目标为重点，本句为本段最后一句，故继续强调团队的重要性。故C选项“正如那句著名的谚语所说，‘团队中没有我’”符合语境，故选C。 40．根据上文“Encouraging team members to be forthcoming with their ideas is important for the success of the team.(鼓励团队成员畅所欲言，这对团队的成功非常重要)”可知，上文提到了鼓励成员畅所欲言，故本句承接上文说明这么做的意义：当团队成员觉得他们可以贡献想法时，就会有更多的创造力和创新。故F选项“当团队成员觉得他们可以贡献想法时，就会有更多的创造力和创新”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Andy Davis和他的妻子决定骑自行车周游美国，但在出发几个月前Davis被诊断出患有心力衰竭，情况危急。经过漫长的等待，Davis终于等到了心脏移植的机会，这颗心脏来自一个名叫Sarah Ivy的女性。Davis体会到了人性的善良，对Ivy及其家人充满感激，他计划骑行去Ivy家当面致谢。 41.

When it comes to the question of “Should kids be paid for doing housework?”, I take the view that kids should be paid. Firstly, paying kids for doing housework can improve their enthusiasm for labor, motivating them to take on more responsibilities and complete tasks on their own initiative. Secondly, getting a reward helps kids develop a sense of equity. It can teach them that their efforts are valuable and should be paid accordingly. Lastly, kids could better understand “no pains, no gains” in the process. All in all, paying for doing housework is adoptable. It throws light on the fact that life is based on hard work and that one must make efforts to get what he wants. 第二节 参考范文： Paragraph 1: Just at that time, the house bell rang. My mother asked me to open the door to check out who was coming. To be a good son, I braved myself to open the door. I paced to the door and opened it. By the light of the flashlight, I could see a tall creature standing in front of my house door. When I took a good look at the figure, I found out that was the man I knew. He was my father! I was wild with joy. “Dad! Is it you? Is this a dream?” Paragraph 2: I shouted excitedly, and called my mum down. She was shocked and nearly fainted when she saw my father. “Actually, I planned this thing with the workers in the management office. I knew that your mother would call them, and my plan to be back on our Anniversary Day came true,” said my father. He asked me to fetch the gold necklace he left accidentally in my room when he intended to check if we were home. Then, he handed it to my mum with both of his hands. “Happy Anniversary Day, my dear!” my father said to my mother. My mother couldn’t help crying, giving my dad a big hug. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 四川省江油中学2022级高二下期第一学月检测 英 语 试 题 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But that’s not a typical day for a real-life police officer. To get a more accurate picture, head to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington. Exhibits there invite visitors to use their senses of sight, hearing, touch and smell to gather information the way police do. Let’s look at a few exhibits. K-9 Units See a video of how dogs are trained to join K-9 Units. Test your ability to smell and identify various scents （气味）. Learn which kinds of dogs are better at tracking bad persons while others are better at sniffing out dangerous goods. The Web of Law Enforcement You’ll quickly learn that crime-solving is a team effort, not only within one department, but among organizations across the country. Inspection Service is just one of the law enforcement groups helping local police when needed. For example, six organizations worked together on a national park graffiti （涂鸦） case. Five Communities Every community is different. Learn how the needs and challenges of five communities are being dealt with. These communities goals are to develop programs, while increasing trust between local people and police. What might work in your neighborhood? There’s a place for visitors to share their thoughts. The Training Simulator Those aged 12 and older can try the same training scenarios （方案） and equipment used in professional law enforcement classes in which police try to resolve difficult situations. Short videos test participants’ abilities to observe accurately and think quickly before reacting. The exercises give an understanding of what officers face on a daily basis. “Many kids first think it’s like a video game,” said Alan Davis, an educator and New York police officer. “They soon realize that real-life decision-making in a second isn’t easy, and they freeze. For real police there are no second chances.” 21. Which exhibit focuses on police dogs? A. K-9 Units. B. Five Communities. C. The Training Simulator. D. The Web of Law Enforcement. 22. What does The Web of Law Enforcement show? A. The problems in communities. B. The dangers of being a police officer. C. How teamwork matters in solving a case. D. How a policeman makes a decision instantly. 23. How may kids feel about the short video tests after taking part in them? A. They are surprising. B. They are difficult to understand. C. They are the same as video games. D. They are not real-life experiences at all. B Dr. Joseph Dituri, who is 55 and known as “Dr. Deep Sea”, has just finished an amazing adventure. For 100 days, the University of South Florida scientist lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. The mission, known as Project Neptune 100, was a scientific attempt to study the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for a continuous period. In his undersea room, Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. He believed that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older and that it could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time at the higher pressure undersea. He was also able to sleep much better. His physical conditions greatly improved in a couple of other ways, too. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He used the project as an educational experience for the youth. “I have communicated with thousands of young people to get them interested in science, technology, engineering and math,” he said. He had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. Meanwhile, he kept teaching his college classes and worked with other marine （海洋的） experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean. Dr. Dituri said his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “If we can get people excited about science, that would be a great success to me!” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record I just set. My greatest hope is that I can inspire a new generation of researchers to push back the boundaries.” 24. Why did Dr. Dituri have the adventure? A. To beat the previous world record. B. To research the underwater life better. C. To draw attention to a healthy lifestyle. D. To learn how human bodies respond to high pressure. 25. What happened to Dr. Dituri? A. He suffered from sleep problems. B. His height changed slightly. C. He was forced to live a busy life. D. His state of health stabilized. 26. What does Dr. Dituri want to inspire young people to do through the project? A. Expand scientific boundaries. B. Protect the ocean actively. C. Develop enthusiasm for science. D. Challenge themselves bravely. 27. How can we describe Dr. Dituri? A. He is high-powered and caring. B. He is committed and optimistic. C. He is open-minded and insightful. D. He is determined and inspiring. C A group of scientists from the University of Kitakyushu in Japan has come up with an unusual solution to a messy problem. They’ve taken dirty diapers （尿布）, and used them to replace some of the sand needed to build a house with concrete. Concrete is one of the most common building materials in the world. It’s used to construct many things, including roads, sidewalks, and buildings. Concrete is usually made by mixing together sand, water, and cement （水泥）. But making concrete creates a lot of pollution. And it uses a lot of sand. Mining for sand creates other problems for the environment. Siswanti Zuraida had an unusual idea. What if some of the sand in concrete could be replaced with used disposable diapers, which are frequently abandoned? In the US alone, over 8 billion pounds of them are cast aside each year. These end up taking up space in landfills. In some countries, dirty diapers can wind up in rivers and creeks. One 2018 study showed that bad diapers made up more than 20% of the trash pulled from waterways in 15 cities of Indonesia. So Ms. Zuraida and her team set out to study the problem. They collected used diapers, cleaned them up, and treated the diapers with chemicals to get rid of any bad germs. Then the diapers were dried and torn into small pieces that could be added to concrete. Overall, diapers could replace up to 8% of the sand used in the concrete needed to build a house. In the parts of a house that support a lot of weight, 10% of the sand could be replaced with shredded diapers. Ms. Zuraida and her team are excited about their results, but they realize there’s still a lot of work to be done. If diapers are really going to be used in concrete, someone will have to figure out how to safely collect, clean, and store lots and lots of used diapers. Perhaps the biggest challenge will be persuading people to use concrete made with diapers. What do you think? Is it time to change the house? 28. What does the underlined word “disposable” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Dried. B. Plastic. C. Throwaway. D. Unpleasant. 29. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3? A. To prove the study is trustworthy. B. To recommend scientists to seek key solutions. C. To show diapers are a huge source of pollution. D. To blame the governments for ignoring pollution. 30. What is the biggest challenge according to Zuraida? A. Collecting and storing large quantities of used diapers. B. Figuring out shares of diapers in concrete. C. Calculating the percentage of diapers in sand. D. Making people accept concrete with diapers. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Diapers Will Replace Sand B. A Solution Shocks the Public C. Handle Diapers Effectively D. Build a House with Diapers D Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering （过滤） the picture and words to put your best face forward. Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic （真实的） and vulnerable （易受伤的） with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built. Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person’s overall psychological well-being. As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling （滚动） through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence. Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit for perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs.

It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow.

If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be. 32．How does social media affect our life? A．It may improve our physical appearance. B．It may make us feel isolated and insecure. C．It may filter our negative impressions on others.

I rushed to the upper floor to check out. There was nothing but a wet footprint on the floor. “What’s happening?” my mother asked. “Nothing, just the sound of lightning.” I knew something strange had happened, but I ignored it as my mother was suffering a cardiac （心脏的） disease. “We’d better close the windows. Maybe rain will pour down,” I showed a relaxing expression but thought back about that footprint. It was so familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it. “David, can you help me take the cooking pot in the attic （阁楼）?” my mother requested. “Oh, please! I am afraid of the dark,” I answered. My mother said that I was like my father. Oh, you want to know what happened to my father? He was an engineer. Last month, he went to the oil platform in the middle of the sea at Jerteh, Terengganu. He said he went there for only 4 days. But 2 weeks had passed, and he still didn’t come back. My mother called the management office in Jerteh but was told they hadn’t seen him since they last saw him on his way to the seashore from the oil platform. Speaking of my father, my mother looked sad. “Today was our Anniversary（周年纪念日） Day, but he was missing.” But back to the main point. I investigated the footprint in my room. And when I looked up, the window was opened. I walked towards it and looked out. Nothing. I closed the window and lay down on my bed. “Ouch! What is this?” I asked myself. There was a small box on my bed. I wondered what was inside it. I opened the brown box. There was a necklace, made of pure gold. Why was there a gold necklace in my room? Suddenly, my room became dark. My terrible fear towards the darkness was to the limit. I grabbed a flashlight and turned it on. 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。 Just at that time, the house bell rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I shouted excitedly, and called my mum down.________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
