There was damage to both cars, and both Jack and the other man were hurt. One of Jack’s legs was broken, and the other driver had a serious cut on his head. At that time, another car was following Jack’s. It stopped quickly and a man and a woman came out of the car. They ran to the damaged cars and pulled Jack and the other man out because they thought the gas might catch fire and burn the two men. Then they called the hospital and police. Soon an ambulance came and took the two injured men to the hospital. Then two policemen came and began to measure and asked the witnesses questions about the accident. A truck came and pulled the two cars off the road.

All Fours By Miranda July July's second novel, which follows a married mother and artist who derails a solo cross-country road trip by checking into a motel close to home and starting an affair with a younger rental-car worker, was the year's literary conversation piece. Frank and laced with the novelist's silly humor, the book ends up with that most universal question: What would you risk to change your life? James By Percival Everett The novel is a complete reworking of Mark Twain's “Huckleberry Finn,” telling the story not from Huck's perspective, but from the point of view of the enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the Mississippi River: Jim (or, as he clarifies, James). Everett's novel is a literary hat trick — a book that highlights the horrors in American history and complicates an American classic, all while also emerging as a work of exceptional originality in its own right. The Wide Wide Sea By Hampton Sides The story begins in Britain as the last traces of the Enlightenment are going out, a time when curiosity and empathy gave way to expansionist ambition and moral passion. Between tales of adventure on the open ocean, complex depictions of Polynesian culture and colorful scenes of a subarctic frost littered with animal life, Sides expertly probes the causes of Cook's growing anger and violence as the journey wears on and the explorer reckons with the fallout of what he and others had caused in expanding the map of Europe's power. 21. What central conflict is described in All Fours? A. A woman wants freedom but fears being alone. B. She wants change but risks her settled life. C. An affair puts stress on her weak marriage. D. Art leads her to separate from other people. 22. In the article, why is James described as a “literary hat trick”? A. Because it reworks a classic, makes complicated humor, and is brief. B. Because it provides multiple perspectives and updates the American history. C. Because it reveals historical darkness, deepens a classic, and creates something new. D. Because it examines slavery's legacy and challenges traditional values. 23. What major change occurred before Cook's journey? A. From naturalism to industry growth. B. From adventure to military control. C. From cultural exchange to forcing culture. D. From Enlightenment to colonial aims. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2024年三部入选“年度十佳图书”作品的主要内容和特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“All Fours By Miranda July”部分中“July's second novel, which follows a married mother and artist who derails a solo cross-country road trip by checking into a motel close to home and starting an affair with a younger rental-car worker, was the year's literary conversation piece. Frank and laced with the novelist's silly humor, the book ends up with that most universal question: What would you risk to change your life? (七月的第二部小说讲述了一位已婚母亲兼艺术家的故事，她在离家不远的汽车旅馆登记入住，并与一位年轻的租车工人发生了一段恋情，从而偏离了独自的越野公路之旅，这是今年的文学话题之作。这本书坦率且充满了这位小说家的诙谐幽默，最后提出了一个最普遍的问题：为了改变生活，你愿意冒什么风险？)”可知，书中的女人想要改变生活，但改变生活意味着要冒着安定生活被破坏的风险，这是《All Fours》描述的核心冲突。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“James By Percival Everett”部分中“Everett's novel is a literary hat trick — a book that highlights the horrors in American history and complicates an American classic, all while also emerging as a work of exceptional originality in its own right. (埃弗雷特的小说是一个文学上的帽子戏法 —— 这本书突出了美国历史上的恐怖事件，并使一部美国经典作品更加复杂，同时它本身也是一部极具原创性的作品)”可知，《James》被描述为“文学上的帽子戏法”是因为它揭示了历史的黑暗，深化了经典，并且创造了新的东西。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Wide Wide Sea By Hampton Sides”部分中“The story begins in Britain as the last traces of the Enlightenment are going out, a time when curiosity and empathy gave way to expansionist ambition and moral passion. (故事开始于英国，当时启蒙运动的最后痕迹正在消失，好奇和同情让位于扩张主义的野心和道德热情)”可知，在库克的旅程之前，发生的主要变化是从启蒙运动到殖民目标的转变。故选D项。 B There’s love. And then there’s bird love. Few animals put on a show of affection like the wandering albatross (信天翁). Each year when these polar seabirds reunite after a long break during breeding season, adult pairs often launch into a tightly harmonized and social ceremony. Standing a few feet apart from one another, hey spread their wings, scream to the sky, and then click-clack their bills together. It's about as close to a classic moment as you can get in the Southern Hemisphere. These birds are good at showing love — and really good at maintaining it. Albatrosses are among the most fiercely loyal of all seabird species, and often spend several decades of faithful lives together. These relationships, however, aren’t always for keeps: wandering albatross couples do split up — a phenomenon researchers call “divorce”. Why? For some species, it has a lot to do with our changing climate. Increasingly warmer waters in the poles mean less fish and nutrients for albatrosses to consume during food-searching trips. They can trigger stress hormones that mess up mating, and leave birds with less energy to raise chicks when breeding is successful. While the changing climate may be leading to more divorce among albatrosses, researchers have recently found evidence of a more human-like reason for the split-ups among wandering albatrosses: personality. It turns out, shy guys finish last. “Sometimes birds split up to find a better mate and raise more chicks,” Jenouvrier explains. Of course, there could still be a cost to divorce for females in the colony. Perhaps they won’t have the same breeding success with a new partner, or maybe they’ll need to devote more energy during the breeding process. The grass, after all, isn’t always greener. 24. What is the main reason for albatross “divorces” related to environmental changes? A. Loss of nesting habitats due to human activity B. Reduced food availability caused by warmer oceans C. Increased competition from other seabird species D. Breeding attempts damaged by failed reunion celebrations 25. How does “personality” influence albatross relationships? A. Shy males are more likely to be rejected by their partners. B. Females prioritize partners with harmonized ceremonies. C. Mismatched pairs produce fewer surviving chicks. D. Older albatrosses are less likely to seek new mates. 26. Which best summarizes the article’s main theme? A. Albatross loyalty persists despite environmental challenges. B. Seabird divorces show animals copy human behavior. C. Climate and personality affect albatross bonds. D. Warming oceans equally endanger all polar species. 27. What can be inferred from the phrase “the grass isn’t always greener”? A. Remating often leads to better breeding conditions. B. Changing partners may not solve real challenges. C. Climate change forces albatrosses to abandon nests. D. Shy personalities determine long-term relationship success. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了信天翁的“离婚”现象，分析了气候变化和个性对信天翁关系的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Increasingly warmer waters in the poles mean less fish and nutrients for albatrosses to consume during food-searching trips. They can trigger stress hormones that mess up mating, and leave birds with less energy to raise chicks when breeding is successful. (极地地区日益变暖的海水意味着信天翁在觅食途中可捕食的鱼类和营养物质减少。这可能会引发应激激素，干扰交配行为，并且在成功繁殖后，鸟类用于养育雏鸟的能量也会减少。)”可知，极地海水变暖意味着信天翁在觅食时可获取的鱼类和营养物质减少，从而导致它们产生压力荷尔蒙，影响交配，因此信天翁“离婚”与环境变化相关的主要原因是海洋变暖导致食物供应减少。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“While the changing climate may be leading to more divorce among albatrosses, researchers have recently found evidence of a more human-like reason for the split-ups among wandering albatrosses: personality. It turns out, shy guys finish last. (虽然气候变化可能导致信天翁之间更多的离婚，但研究人员最近发现了漂泊信天翁分手的一个更具人类特点的原因：性格。事实证明，害羞的雄性信天翁总是最后才找到伴侣。)”可知，个性影响信天翁关系，害羞的雄性更有可能被它们的伴侣拒绝，信天翁会为了找到更好的伴侣而分开。故选A项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了信天翁的忠诚与“离婚”现象，然后分别从环境变化（第四段）和个体性格（第五、六段）两个方面探讨了信天翁“离婚”的原因。因此，文章的主旨是气候和性格对信天翁伴侣关系的影响。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Perhaps they won't have the same breeding success with a new partner, or maybe they'll need to devote more energy during the breeding process. (也许它们与新伴侣的繁殖成功率不会相同，又或许它们在繁殖过程中需要投入更多精力。)”可知，对于信天翁来说，更换伴侣可能并不会带来更好的繁殖结果，它们可能需要在繁殖过程中投入更多精力，所以“the grass isn’t always greener (这山望着那山高，草未必是那边绿)”暗示着更换伴侣可能无法解决真正的挑战。故选B项。 C Growing up with a mother who introduced swedes (芜菁甘蓝) to Indian cuisine, Hill-Maini developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of cooking. His culinary (烹饪的) adventures took him to New York City, where, at just 18, he was redesigning menus for Manhattan restaurants. But the call of science beckoned (召唤), leading him through biochemistry at Harvard and eventually to UC Berkeley, where he now combines his passions for cooking and research. The star of Hill-Maini’s research is N. intermedia, the fungus responsible for oncom — a traditional Indonesian food made from soy pulp leftovers. What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours. But Hill-Maini and his team didn't stop at soy pulp. They tested N. intermedia on about 30 different agricultural waste products. The results were astonishing — the fungus thrived on almost all of these agricultural waste products, proving its significant role in food recycling. The science behind this fungal magic is fascinating. N. intermedia belongs to a group called filamentous fungi, which produce enzymes (酶) that break down complex plant materials that human digestive systems struggle with. In doing so, they not only make the waste edible but also increase its protein content and improve its flavor. One of the most exciting discoveries was the existence of two distinct types of N. intermediate wild types found globally and types that have adapted specifically to human generated agricultural waste. This suggests a fascinating co-evolution between the fungus and human food production practices. However, would people actually accept it? To answer this, Hill-Maini worked with Rasmus Munk, head chef of the Michelin two-star restaurant Alchemist in Copenhagen. They presented red oncom to 60 people who had never encountered it before. “We found that, basically, people who had never tried this food before made positive comments about it,” Hill-Maini said. “The results were pretty good.” 28. What attracts Hill-Maini’s interest in cooking? A. An introduction to Indian food. B. His experiences of redesigning menus. C. His mother’s influence. D. His research at Harvard. 29. What can N. intermedia do according the text? A. Promote the growth of plants. B. Make food out of useless farm produce. C. Increase the output of farm products. D. Protect human digestive system. 30. How do people feel about the red oncom after they tried it? A. Satisfied. B. Terrible. C. Uncertain. D. Worried. 31. Which title best summarizes the article? A. Revolutionizing Food through Culinary Art B. Fungi Turn Farm Waste into Sustainable Food C. Oncom: Indonesia’s Fermented Soy Tradition D. Enzyme Breakthroughs in Biochemistry 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Hill Maini结合烹饪与科研的经历，重点讲述了他对N. intermedia真菌的研究，该真菌能将农业废料转化为食物，且人们接受度良好。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Growing up with a mother who introduced swedes (芜菁甘蓝) to Indian cuisine, Hill Maini developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of cooking. (Hill Maini在一位将芜菁甘蓝引入印度美食的母亲的陪伴下长大，他很早就对烹饪的变革力量产生了兴趣)”可知，是他母亲的影响吸引了他对烹饪的兴趣。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours. (这种真菌的非凡之处在于，它能在短短36小时内将难以消化的植物废料转化为营养丰富、美味可口的食物)”以及第三段中“They tested N. intermedia on about 30 different agricultural waste products. The results were astonishing — the fungus thrived on almost all of these agricultural waste products, proving its significant role in food recycling. (他们在大约30种不同的农业废料上测试了N. intermedia真菌。结果令人惊讶——这种真菌在几乎所有这些农业废料上都生长良好，证明了它在食品回收中的重要作用)”可知，N. intermedia能利用无用的农产品制造出食物。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We found that, basically, people who had never tried this food before made positive comments about it,” Hill Maini said. “The results were pretty good.” (Hill Maini说：“我们发现，基本上，那些以前从未尝过这种食物的人对它做出了积极的评价。结果相当不错。”)”可知，人们品尝red oncom后感到满意。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours. (这种真菌的非凡之处在于，它能在短短36小时内将难以消化的植物废料转化为营养丰富、美味可口的食物)”可知，文章主要讲述了真菌N. intermedia能把农业废弃物变成可持续的食物。故选B项。 D Taylor Swift fans really know how to “Shake It Off” — and shake the ground. Scientists studied how the stadium and ground trembled during one of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts last August. They discovered that dancing fans generated shaking in the ground — earthquake waves that matched the beat of each song. During Swift’s performance of “Shake It Off”, the stands released about as much energy as a magnitude 0.85 earthquake, which is not quite strong enough to be felt by humans. This isn’t the first time scientists have measured quakes from a stadium. In 2011, Seattle Seahawks fans shook their home stadium with cheers after a stunning touchdown. And last July, Swifties rocked the ground at a Seattle concert. The shaking from those events differs from an earthquake. Earthquakes usually last only a few seconds. A “concert quake” can last several minutes. Besides, the ground also moves in different ways during quakes and concerts. Earthquakes happen when big tectonic (地壳) plates move around. Those motions perpetually change the ground. In contrast, the shaking caused by crowds “is more like splashing (泼水) in a pool,” explains Gabrielle Tepp, a professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “You see the waves coming out, but then once you’re done splashing, it just goes back to normal.” The “concert quake” doesn’t usually deform the Earth. Tepp and her colleagues used similar instruments to detect earthquakes and concert quakes. In the new study, they set up a portable speaker next to a motion sensor in their lab and turned the speaker volume all the way up. They also played Swift’s “Love Story” at the speakers’ highest volume. Tepp even jumped around near the sensor while dancing to the last chorus. The sensor picked up the quaking which matched that from the concert only when Tepp was jumping around, which suggests that the shaking measured at the concert came from fans jumping and dancing, too. The findings tell scientists about more than just concert shaking. Understanding how a stadium quakes in response to a large crowd could help make buildings safer, says Golos. “We can also better understand human behavior using such seismic data”, she says. “I think there’s a lot of interesting information hidden in there.” 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the main argument. B. To provide background information. C. To offer a convincing explanation. D. To conclude the previous findings. 33. What does the underlined word “perpetually” mean in paragraph 2? A. randomly. B. slightly. C. permanently. D. regularly. 34. Why did Tepp and her colleagues conduct the experiment? A. To test the effectiveness of the motion sensor. B. To figure out the quake source of the concert. C. To prove that Taylor Swift’s songs can cause ground-shaking. D. To study the relationship between music volume and ground-shaking. 35. What’s the significance of the research? A. It guides fans to behave well at a concert. B. It predicts when and where an earthquake will happen. C. It improves stage design and sound effect of a concert. D. It lays a foundation for creating safer architecture. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家研究发现泰勒・斯威夫特演唱会时粉丝的舞蹈和跳跃能产生类似地震波的震动，还对比了“演唱会地震”和真正地震的不同，并介绍了相关实验以及研究的意义。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。第一段讲述了泰勒・斯威夫特粉丝在其演唱会上的舞蹈和跳跃使得体育场和地面震动，科学家发现粉丝产生的震动类似地震波，尤其是在演唱《Shake It Off》时产生的能量相当于0.85级地震的能量。后文围绕“演唱会地震”展开，介绍了其与真正地震的区别、相关实验等。所以第一段的作用是提供背景信息，引出后文关于“演唱会地震”的讨论。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Earthquakes happen when big tectonic (地壳的) plates move around. Those motions perpetually change the ground. (当地壳大板块移动时就会发生地震。那些运动持续改变着地面。)”以及常识可知，地壳板块的运动是持续的，会不断地改变地面，所以“perpetually”意思是“永久地，持续地”，与“permanently”意思相近。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The sensor picked up the quaking which matched that from the concert only when Tepp was jumping around, which suggests that the shaking measured at the concert came from fans jumping and dancing, too. (只有当泰普四处跳跃时，传感器才检测到与演唱会上相似震动，这表明在演唱会上测量到的震动也来自粉丝的跳跃和舞蹈。)”可知，泰普和她的同事进行实验是为了弄清楚演唱会震动的来源。故选B项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Understanding how a stadium quakes in response to a large crowd could help make buildings safer, says Golos. (戈洛斯说，了解体育场在大量人群作用下如何震动有助于使建筑物更安全。)”可知，这项研究的意义在于它为创造更安全的建筑奠定了基础。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Houseplants Can Make You Healthier Absorbing yourself in nature is good for you. Being outdoors has been shown to improve your mood, concentration and mental health, among other things. ___36___ Get your hands in the soil. Touching soil, even if it's in pots by your window, may improve your health as well. Dirt can benefit your microbiome (菌群), with possible benefits such as a stronger immune system. ___37___ So don’t see plants as something to look at; instead, take care of plants with your gloves off. ___38___ When Griffin, known on social media as Plant Kween, is attending to the 202 plants in his apartment, he uses it as an opportunity to check in with himself: Am I getting enough water? Have I gotten enough sunlight today, too? Sometimes he uses the plant-care time to pick up the phone and connect with someone. “I’ve had some of my best conversations with friends as I’ve been watering my plants,” he said. Your work space doesn’t have to be a wasteland. ___39___ The presence of plants in a work space has been shown to make workers happier and more productive. Even a bunch of flowers from a supermarket could be good for your health — a nice thought that researchers actually put to the test in a study of Japanese businessmen. And, if you work at home, sit near a plant for the day. “You know, we don’t always have to push it into a corner,” Griffin said. “___40___” A. Tend to yourself while you tend your plants. B. You can put it right in front of you and enjoy its beauty. C. You don’t need to be a gardening expert to enjoy the benefits. D. Viewing nature indoors can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. E.

But indoor green spaces, even small ones, have benefits for our physical and mental wellbeing, too. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明室内绿植对身心健康的多重益处及养护建议等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Absorbing yourself in nature is good for you. Being outdoors has been shown to improve your mood, concentration and mental health, among other things. (沉浸在大自然中对你有益。事实证明，户外活动可以改善你的情绪、注意力和心理健康等)”可知，户外活动对人的好处，而文章的标题为“Houseplants Can Make You Healthier (室内植物能让你更健康)”，本空应强调室内的绿色空间也有好处，引出下文。G选项中的“have benefits”与上文中的“is good”相呼应，G选项“但室内绿色空间，即使是很小的空间，对我们的身心健康也有好处。”可知，能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Touching soil, even if it’s in pots by your window, may improve your health as well. Dirt can benefit your microbiome (菌群), with possible benefits such as a stronger immune system. (接触土壤，即使是你窗边花盆里的土壤，也可能改善你的健康。泥土对你的微生物群有益，可能带来诸如更强的免疫系统等好处)”及下文“So don’t see plants as something to look at; instead, report plants with your gloves off. (所以不要把植物仅仅看作是观赏的东西；相反，不戴手套去侍弄植物)”可知，照顾植物能带来健康益处。空处承上启下，F选项中的“the same benefits”与上文中的“benefit your microbiome”相呼应，F选项“在照料室内植物时直接接触土壤，也可能带来同样的好处”能承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据下文“When Griffin, known on social media as Plant Kween, is ministering to the 202 plants in his apartment, he uses it as an opportunity to check in with himself: Am I getting enough water? Have I gotten enough sunlight today, too? Sometimes he uses the plant-care time to pick up the phone and connect with someone. (当在社交媒体上被称为“植物女王”的格里芬照料他公寓里的202株植物时，他会借此机会审视自己：我喝的水够吗？我今天晒的太阳够吗？有时他会利用照料植物的时间拿起电话与人联系)”可知，本段主要讲在照料植物的同时也能关照自己。A选项“在照料植物的同时也要照顾好自己”能够概括本段的主旨。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据下文“The presence of plants in a work space has been shown to make workers happier and more productive. (事实证明，在工作空间里摆放植物会让工人更快乐、更有效率)”可知，在工作场所可以放一些植物，空处引出下文，E选项中的“an office”与下文中的“a work space”相呼应。所以E选项“如果你的办公室有一些光线，可以考虑放点绿色植物。”，符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“And, if you work at home, sit near a plant for the day. “You know, we don’t always have to push it into a corner,” Griffin said. (并且，如果你在家工作，白天就坐在植物旁边。“你知道，我们不必总是把它推到角落里，”Griffin说)”可知，上文提到植物的位置，本空承接上文，接着说明把植物放在更合适的位置以便享受其带来的好处，B选项中的“put it right in front of you”与上文中的“don’t always have to push it into a corner”相呼应。B选项“你可以把它放在你面前，欣赏它的美丽。”承接上文Griffin说的话，符合题意，故选B。 第三部分：语言知识运用 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、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。 For her 68th birthday in 2019, Rosa Saito decided to give herself an unusual gift — she decided to become a model.

Last month, Caneze's grandfather came to see them, and the family threw a big party. But Caneze didn't spend much time with him that day. He didn't speak English,so how could she have any sort of conversation with him? Caneze spent most of that day in the study room,texting her best friend, Maya, and watching her cousins play video games. There was a huge art competition coming up at school,and Caneze and Maya were planning to compete. “I wish you'd spent time with your grandfather instead of your phone, Caneze,” Mom said one day on the way home. “But I don't even know him,” Caneze said, “and he doesn't speak any English. How could I talk to him?” “And you don't speak any Ukrainian(乌克兰语), Caneze, but he'd love to get to know you. I think you may find that you two have a lot in common. ” Two weeks later, Caneze came home from school in the afternoon to find her grandfather sitting at the kitchen table chatting with Mom happily. On the table sat some books. The old man smiled warmly at Caneze, and she smiled back as she sat down at the table. As Grandpa and Mom spoke in Ukrainian, Caneze let her mind wander. As the art competition was around the corner, Maya and she had to be quick for their project. Suddenly, an idea for a picture came to her, so she fetched her sketchbook. Sitting at the table, she sketched while the adults talked. Then Caneze heard Mom say, “I have to run out for a few minutes. You can stay here with Grandpa. ” Caneze suddenly felt unsure and shy, what would the two of them talk about? “This is going to be awkward,” she thought as her mind was racing for an idea for this embarrassed moment. She gave Grandpa a polite smile and then returned to the lines and shapes she had drawn on the page. Paragraph 1: Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “This is beautiful - I didn't know you were an artist,”Caneze said. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her. Pointing at the page, Caneze said, “This is a sketchbook. ” The old man nodded with happiness. Then she stood up, walked away and came back minutes later carrying a laptop. He typed as Caneze sketched. After a few minutes, Grandpa tapped Caneze on the shoulder and pointed to the laptop screen. Caneze moved her chair closer to his so that she could see better. The open page was an online picture from whose name Caneze could tell that it was just Grandpa's. “This is beautiful—I didn't know you were an artist,” Caneze said. On hearing this, Grandpa's face broadened into a big smile. Swiftly, Caneze showed her grandfather some of her own work. He smiled, giving her a thumb-up. Later, when Mom returned, neither Caneze nor Grandpa seemed to notice. They were occupied in drawing together. “Apparently, Caneze finally found a common language between her and grandfather, which boosted their mutual understanding.” Mom thought, with a sweet smile brightening（across）her face. It is drawing/art that is/becomes a common language between people. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Caneze小时候和父母一起移民到美国，住在乌克兰的爷爷来看望他们，由于语言不通，爷孙俩无法交流。妈妈让Caneze和爷爷多交流，但Caneze将心思都放在了即将到来的艺术节比赛上。在一次不经意间交流中，Caneze发现爷爷是一位艺术家，并给爷爷展示了自己的绘画作品，Caneze终于在她和爷爷之间在艺术上找到了共同的语言。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，她感觉到爷爷在看着她。”可知，第一段可描写Caneze和爷爷开始有了相互的交流。 ②由第二段首句内容““这太美了——我不知道你是个艺术家，”Caneze说。”可知，第二段Caneze和爷爷在艺术上找到了共同语言，两人相处很融洽。 2.续写线索：被爷爷盯着看——爷爷拿电脑——发现爷爷是艺术家——给爷爷看自己的作品——一起画画——有了共同语言 3.词汇激活行为类 ①感觉到：feel/sense ②走开：walk away/go away ③画：draw/paint/picture 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②幸福：happiness/welfare 【点睛】[高分句型1] Pointing at the page, Caneze said, “This is a sketchbook. ”（运用了现在分词短语作句子状语） [高分句型2] Apparently, Caneze finally found a common language between her and grandfather, which boosted their mutual understanding”.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] It is drawing/art that is/becomes a common language between people.（运用了强调句型it + be +被强调部分+that从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 东北育才高中2024—2025学年度下学期 高二年级英语科期中考试试卷 答题时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分：听力 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man going to do on Sunday?

All Fours By Miranda July July's second novel, which follows a married mother and artist who derails a solo cross-country road trip by checking into a motel close to home and starting an affair with a younger rental-car worker, was the year's literary conversation piece. Frank and laced with the novelist's silly humor, the book ends up with that most universal question: What would you risk to change your life? James By Percival Everett The novel is a complete reworking of Mark Twain's “Huckleberry Finn,” telling the story not from Huck's perspective, but from the point of view of the enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the Mississippi River: Jim (or, as he clarifies, James). Everett's novel is a literary hat trick — a book that highlights the horrors in American history and complicates an American classic, all while also emerging as a work of exceptional originality in its own right. The Wide Wide Sea By Hampton Sides The story begins in Britain as the last traces of the Enlightenment are going out, a time when curiosity and empathy gave way to expansionist ambition and moral passion. Between tales of adventure on the open ocean, complex depictions of Polynesian culture and colorful scenes of a subarctic frost littered with animal life, Sides expertly probes the causes of Cook's growing anger and violence as the journey wears on and the explorer reckons with the fallout of what he and others had caused in expanding the map of Europe's power. 21. What central conflict is described in All Fours? A. A woman wants freedom but fears being alone. B. She wants change but risks her settled life. C. An affair puts stress on her weak marriage. D. Art leads her to separate from other people. 22. In the article, why is James described as a “literary hat trick”? A. Because it reworks a classic, makes complicated humor, and is brief. B. Because it provides multiple perspectives and updates the American history. C. Because it reveals historical darkness, deepens a classic, and creates something new. D. Because it examines slavery's legacy and challenges traditional values. 23. What major change occurred before Cook's journey? A From naturalism to industry growth. B. From adventure to military control. C. From cultural exchange to forcing culture. D. From Enlightenment to colonial aims. B There’s love. And then there’s bird love. Few animals put on a show of affection like the wandering albatross (信天翁). Each year when these polar seabirds reunite after a long break during breeding season, adult pairs often launch into a tightly harmonized and social ceremony. Standing a few feet apart from one another, hey spread their wings, scream to the sky, and then click-clack their bills together. It's about as close to a classic moment as you can get in the Southern Hemisphere. These birds are good at showing love — and really good at maintaining it. Albatrosses are among the most fiercely loyal of all seabird species, and often spend several decades of faithful lives together. These relationships, however, aren’t always for keeps: wandering albatross couples do split up — a phenomenon researchers call “divorce”. Why? For some species, it has a lot to do with our changing climate. Increasingly warmer waters in the poles mean less fish and nutrients for albatrosses to consume during food-searching trips. They can trigger stress hormones that mess up mating, and leave birds with less energy to raise chicks when breeding is successful. While the changing climate may be leading to more divorce among albatrosses, researchers have recently found evidence of a more human-like reason for the split-ups among wandering albatrosses: personality. It turns out, shy guys finish last. “Sometimes birds split up to find a better mate and raise more chicks,” Jenouvrier explains. Of course, there could still be a cost to divorce for females in the colony. Perhaps they won’t have the same breeding success with a new partner, or maybe they’ll need to devote more energy during the breeding process. The grass, after all, isn’t always greener. 24. What is the main reason for albatross “divorces” related to environmental changes? A. Loss of nesting habitats due to human activity B. Reduced food availability caused by warmer oceans C. Increased competition from other seabird species D. Breeding attempts damaged by failed reunion celebrations 25. How does “personality” influence albatross relationships? A. Shy males are more likely to be rejected by their partners. B. Females prioritize partners with harmonized ceremonies. C. Mismatched pairs produce fewer surviving chicks. D. Older albatrosses are less likely to seek new mates. 26. Which best summarizes the article’s main theme? A. Albatross loyalty persists despite environmental challenges. B. Seabird divorces show animals copy human behavior. C. Climate and personality affect albatross bonds. D Warming oceans equally endanger all polar species. 27. What can be inferred from the phrase “the grass isn’t always greener”? A. Remating often leads to better breeding conditions. B. Changing partners may not solve real challenges. C. Climate change forces albatrosses to abandon nests. D. Shy personalities determine long-term relationship success. C Growing up with a mother who introduced swedes (芜菁甘蓝) to Indian cuisine, Hill-Maini developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of cooking. His culinary (烹饪的) adventures took him to New York City, where, at just 18, he was redesigning menus for Manhattan restaurants. But the call of science beckoned (召唤), leading him through biochemistry at Harvard and eventually to UC Berkeley, where he now combines his passions for cooking and research. The star of Hill-Maini’s research is N. intermedia, the fungus responsible for oncom — a traditional Indonesian food made from soy pulp leftovers. What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours. But Hill-Maini and his team didn't stop at soy pulp. They tested N. intermedia on about 30 different agricultural waste products. The results were astonishing — the fungus thrived on almost all of these agricultural waste products, proving its significant role in food recycling. The science behind this fungal magic is fascinating. N. intermedia belongs to a group called filamentous fungi, which produce enzymes (酶) that break down complex plant materials that human digestive systems struggle with. In doing so, they not only make the waste edible but also increase its protein content and improve its flavor. One of the most exciting discoveries was the existence of two distinct types of N. intermediate wild types found globally and types that have adapted specifically to human generated agricultural waste. This suggests a fascinating co-evolution between the fungus and human food production practices. However, would people actually accept it? To answer this, Hill-Maini worked with Rasmus Munk, head chef of the Michelin two-star restaurant Alchemist in Copenhagen. They presented red oncom to 60 people who had never encountered it before. “We found that, basically, people who had never tried this food before made positive comments about it,” Hill-Maini said. “The results were pretty good.” 28. What attracts Hill-Maini’s interest in cooking? A. An introduction to Indian food. B. His experiences of redesigning menus. C. His mother’s influence. D. His research at Harvard. 29. What can N. intermedia do according the text? A. Promote the growth of plants. B. Make food out of useless farm produce. C. Increase the output of farm products. D. Protect human digestive system. 30. How do people feel about the red oncom after they tried it? A. Satisfied. B. Terrible. C. Uncertain. D. Worried. 31. Which title best summarizes the article? A. Revolutionizing Food through Culinary Art B Fungi Turn Farm Waste into Sustainable Food C. Oncom: Indonesia’s Fermented Soy Tradition D. Enzyme Breakthroughs in Biochemistry D Taylor Swift fans really know how to “Shake It Off” — and shake the ground. Scientists studied how the stadium and ground trembled during one of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts last August. They discovered that dancing fans generated shaking in the ground — earthquake waves that matched the beat of each song. During Swift’s performance of “Shake It Off”, the stands released about as much energy as a magnitude 0.85 earthquake, which is not quite strong enough to be felt by humans. This isn’t the first time scientists have measured quakes from a stadium. In 2011, Seattle Seahawks fans shook their home stadium with cheers after a stunning touchdown. And last July, Swifties rocked the ground at a Seattle concert. The shaking from those events differs from an earthquake. Earthquakes usually last only a few seconds. A “concert quake” can last several minutes. Besides, the ground also moves in different ways during quakes and concerts. Earthquakes happen when big tectonic (地壳的) plates move around. Those motions perpetually change the ground. In contrast, the shaking caused by crowds “is more like splashing (泼水) in a pool,” explains Gabrielle Tepp, a professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “You see the waves coming out, but then once you’re done splashing, it just goes back to normal.” The “concert quake” doesn’t usually deform the Earth. Tepp and her colleagues used similar instruments to detect earthquakes and concert quakes. In the new study, they set up a portable speaker next to a motion sensor in their lab and turned the speaker volume all the way up. They also played Swift’s “Love Story” at the speakers’ highest volume. Tepp even jumped around near the sensor while dancing to the last chorus. The sensor picked up the quaking which matched that from the concert only when Tepp was jumping around, which suggests that the shaking measured at the concert came from fans jumping and dancing, too. The findings tell scientists about more than just concert shaking. Understanding how a stadium quakes in response to a large crowd could help make buildings safer, says Golos. “We can also better understand human behavior using such seismic data”, she says. “I think there’s a lot of interesting information hidden in there.” 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the main argument. B. To provide background information. C. To offer a convincing explanation. D. To conclude the previous findings. 33. What does the underlined word “perpetually” mean in paragraph 2? A. randomly. B. slightly. C. permanently. D. regularly. 34. Why did Tepp and her colleagues conduct the experiment? A. To test the effectiveness of the motion sensor. B. To figure out the quake source of the concert. C. To prove that Taylor Swift’s songs can cause ground-shaking. D. To study the relationship between music volume and ground-shaking. 35. What’s the significance of the research? A. It guides fans to behave well at a concert. B. It predicts when and where an earthquake will happen. C. It improves stage design and sound effect of a concert. D. It lays a foundation for creating safer architecture. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Houseplants Can Make You Healthier Absorbing yourself in nature is good for you.

Unavoidably, there was an accident. There was damage to both cars, and both jack and the other men were hurt. One of jack's legs was broken, and the other driver had a serious cut on his head. At that time, another car was following jack. IT stopped quickly, and a man and a woman came out of the car. They ran to the damaged cars and pulled jack and the other man out because they thought the gas might catch fire and burn the two men. Then they called the hospital and police soon an ambuLance game and took the two injured men to the hospital. Then two policemen came and began to measure and ask the witnesses questions about the accident. A truck came and pulled the two cars off the road. Everything returned to Normal again.
