When someone hears they have cancer, words of support often feel empty. In such times, actions can show support more powerfully than words. After Lauren’s husband was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to shave his head. But before starting, she shared a heartfelt message. Lauren is a hairdresser, and hair is a big part of her life. Under her post, she wrote, “Hair is my art, my passion, and my way of making others feel beautiful, confident, and seen. It’s a reflection of who we are, how we feel, and how we present ourselves to the world. But today, I’m choosing to let go of it all, not because hair doesn’t matter, but because some things matter so much more.” Before shaving her husband’s head, Lauren did something surprising. She turned the clippers on herself. Her husband was shocked and said, “No. No, no, no.” As she continued, his expression changed. He realized that his wife was ready to stand by him through this tough journey. She made a second and a third shave, cutting off large sections of her long hair. At one point, her husband asked, “Why?” Eventually, Lauren sat in the chair, and her husband helped to finish shaving her head. When she was done, she looked like a fuzzy cue ball. Then, her husband sat down, and she shaved his head. They hugged many times during this moment of solidarity. Lauren’s final words were powerful. She said, “This act isn’t just about hair. It’s about standing with him in his fight, showing him that we are in this together, every step of the way.” She also reflected on the importance of hair, saying, “Yes, hair is important, and it will always be a part of who I am, but at this moment, it’s just hair. What truly matters is the bond we share, the fight we fight, and the love that carries us through.” 4. What did Lauren decide to do after her husband was diagnosed with cancer? A. Cut her own hair. B. Shave her husband’s head. C. Write a heartfelt message. D. Take her husband to the hospital. 5. Why is hair particularly significant to Lauren? A. Because of her profession. B. Because she likes long hair. C. Because of her husband’s love. D. Because she thinks hair is a necessity. 6. What was Lauren’s husband’s initial reaction when she started shaving her head? A. He felt disappointed with Lauren. B. He laughed and found it amusing. C. He was supportive and encouraged her. D. He was surprised and tried to stop her. 7. How did Lauren feel about shaving her head? A. She regretted doing it. B. She felt indifferent to it. C. She believed it was a small act. D. She saw it as a symbol of unity and support. C The warning signs are all there: record-breaking heat, failing health, vanishing ice sheets, and more unpredictable weather. And yet we’re still pumping increasing amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, threatening our very survival. A new study by an international team of experts highlights how global methane (甲烷) emissions have been rising rapidly since 2006, particularly since 2020. We’ll perpetuate the trend unless we do something extreme very soon. The study’s authors have then outlined some strategies countries can use to take action, and developed an online tool to help with this. This continual climb in methane emissions is largely due to the ongoing use of fossil fuels in preference to cleaner alternatives. It’s directly produced by oil, gas, and coal drilling and processing. The increasing release of methane from natural wetlands, caused by a hotter climate, is now also contributing. “Worldwide efforts to limit climate change are rightly focused on carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary driver,” the team writes in their published paper. “However, since humanity has failed to adequately address climate change for several decades, keeping warming below agreed goals now requires that we address all major climate pollutants.” There is currently much less methane in our atmosphere than CO2, but methane is a stronger greenhouse gas. We know that methane is a major contributor to the warming of the world, trapping heat like CO2 does. It also contributes to the formation of ozone at ground level, increasing the risk of death through diseases related lungs and heart. All these different methane sources need to be urgently looked at. The study finds: Methane reduction targets should be applied alongside CO2 reduction targets, and new technologies and policies need to be introduced. “A change in thinking from governments and organizations is required,” said one of the researchers. “We have created a new online tool to help with the reduction of methane emissions. This tool should help to target reductions effectively and monitor expected improvements.” 8. What does the underlined word “perpetuate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. prevent. B. control. C. continue. D. recognise. 9. What is the main cause of the continuous rise in methane emissions? A. More emission of CO2. B. Ongoing animal farming. C. Continued use of fossil fuels. D. Modern agricultural development. 10. According to the study, what may increasing methane emissions bring about? A. Health risks caused by ozone. B. Limiting the formation of ozone. C. A decrease in global temperatures. D. An increase in risk of brain disorder. 11. What is the researcher’s attitude to the new online tool? A. Critical. B. Confident. C. Cautious. D. Disappointed. D A study co-led by Professor Rong from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Professor Ke from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine has confirmed the presence of number sense in rats. This discovery is essential as it establishes an animal model that could help researchers investigate the neural bases of numerical ability and disability in humans. The research team devised an innovative approach, combining a novel numerical learning task with brain handling techniques and AI modeling. This method was crucial in resolving debates on whether rats possess a natural sense of numbers. The study’s findings offer a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that support numerical cognition. Number sense is a vital cognitive ability that aids animals in understanding their environment and enhances their survival prospects. It is also a fundamental aspect of mathematical talent, which is a key component of human intelligence. About 3 % to 7 % of people suffer from dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects the ability to learn arithmetic and mathematics of people of normal intelligence. A shortage in number sense is one of the major symptoms. To separate the influence of numbers from continuous amount, the research team conducted careful quantitative analyses. The study demonstrated that rats, even without prior numerical experience, could develop number sense when trained with sounds representing specific quantities. Remarkably, the rats consistently used the number of sounds, rather than the sounds’ continuous amount, to make choices associated with food rewards. Professor Ke expressed her excitement about the study’s potential impact. “This research not only uncovers the mystery of how the brain processes numbers but also opens new avenues for studying the neural circuits involved in numerical processing in animals” she said. “It also reveals light on the genetic factors associated with mathematical ability.” The findings have broader effects, particularly in the field of AI, where the neural network modeling could inform the development of smarter algorithms (算法). Moreover, the enhanced understanding of the brain’s numerical processing mechanisms could contribute to creating interventions for individuals who struggle with numbers. 12. What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To describe the methods used in the research. B. To highlight the discovery of number sense in rats. C. To introduce the researchers involved in the study. D. To explain the significance of number sense in animals. 13. What is the characteristic of people with dyscalculia? A. Abnormal intelligence. B. Difficulty with languages. C. A lack of number sense. D. Strong mathematical ability. 14. How did the study show rats developed number sense? A. By counting training. B. By brain scans during tasks. C. By food rewards for numbers. D. By wild behavior observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Do Animals Have Number Sense? B. Is AI Used to Model Neural Networks? C. Does Dyscalculia Affect Arithmetic Learning? D. Are Mathematical Abilities Essential to Animals? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A porcelain (瓷器) painter is also called a china painter or decorator because china plates are made from porcelain and often used as the object on which to create the painting.

One day, their house had a big fire. Although they didn’t get injured, they lost their house. As a result, they began living with a distant relative, and tried to find a house. Then, one of Joyce’s neighbors offered Joyce his deserted tiny house, but it needed, in the man’s words, “a little bit of cleaning”. As a volunteer for old people, one morning, my father drove to the deserted house together with Joyce to take a look. I followed them. We saw the house certainly needed cleaning more than just a little. Joyce said, “I can’t do this. There’s no way I could live here.” Admittedly, it didn’t look promising. Sitting empty for several years, the tiny house needed a good cleaning and a lot of freshening up. The bad smell that greeted us as we stepped inside was disheartening enough, but the years of no care further let us down. The walls looked dirty. Some of the wooden boards that formed the floor were broken. The dirt and pet hair in the tiny bedroom were at least half an inch thick. The toilet in the bathroom was filled with dead flies. All of this looked discouraging. But Joyce needed some place to live, and this was being offered to her for free. Turning to old Joyce, my father gathered enthusiasm and said, “I can clean this up and fix it up very nicely. With some fresh paint and new curtains, this can be very charming. Trust me, I’ll make this place become a suitable home…” I quite doubted whether he could really make it and didn’t know if he really made Joyce trust him, but she needed a home. So, with a hesitant hope bordering on doubt, Joyce agreed. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the way, my father asked, “How about joining me in cleaning the house?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We invited Joyce and her grandson to visit their new home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 兰州市第五十八中学教育集团建标考试 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

When someone hears they have cancer, words of support often feel empty. In such times, actions can show support more powerfully than words. After Lauren’s husband was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to shave his head. But before starting, she shared a heartfelt message. Lauren is a hairdresser, and hair is a big part of her life. Under her post, she wrote, “Hair is my art, my passion, and my way of making others feel beautiful, confident, and seen. It’s a reflection of who we are, how we feel, and how we present ourselves to the world. But today, I’m choosing to let go of it all, not because hair doesn’t matter, but because some things matter so much more.” Before shaving her husband’s head, Lauren did something surprising. She turned the clippers on herself. Her husband was shocked and said, “No. No, no, no.” As she continued, his expression changed. He realized that his wife was ready to stand by him through this tough journey. She made a second and a third shave, cutting off large sections of her long hair. At one point, her husband asked, “Why?” Eventually, Lauren sat in the chair, and her husband helped to finish shaving her head. When she was done, she looked like a fuzzy cue ball. Then, her husband sat down, and she shaved his head. They hugged many times during this moment of solidarity. Lauren’s final words were powerful. She said, “This act isn’t just about hair. It’s about standing with him in his fight, showing him that we are in this together, every step of the way.” She also reflected on the importance of hair, saying, “Yes, hair is important, and it will always be a part of who I am, but at this moment, it’s just hair. What truly matters is the bond we share, the fight we fight, and the love that carries us through.” 4. What did Lauren decide to do after her husband was diagnosed with cancer? A. Cut her own hair. B. Shave her husband’s head. C. Write a heartfelt message. D. Take her husband to the hospital. 5. Why is hair particularly significant to Lauren? A. Because of her profession. B. Because she likes long hair. C. Because of her husband’s love. D. Because she thinks hair is a necessity. 6. What was Lauren’s husband’s initial reaction when she started shaving her head?

And yet we’re still pumping increasing amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, threatening our very survival. A new study by an international team of experts highlights how global methane (甲烷) emissions have been rising rapidly since 2006, particularly since 2020. We’ll perpetuate the trend unless we do something extreme very soon. The study’s authors have then outlined some strategies countries can use to take action, and developed an online tool to help with this. This continual climb in methane emissions is largely due to the ongoing use of fossil fuels in preference to cleaner alternatives. It’s directly produced by oil, gas, and coal drilling and processing. The increasing release of methane from natural wetlands, caused by a hotter climate, is now also contributing. “Worldwide efforts to limit climate change are rightly focused on carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary driver,” the team writes in their published paper. “However, since humanity has failed to adequately address climate change for several decades, keeping warming below agreed goals now requires that we address all major climate pollutants.” There is currently much less methane in our atmosphere than CO2, but methane is a stronger greenhouse gas. We know that methane is a major contributor to the warming of the world, trapping heat like CO2 does. It also contributes to the formation of ozone at ground level, increasing the risk of death through diseases related lungs and heart. All these different methane sources need to be urgently looked at. The study finds: Methane reduction targets should be applied alongside CO2 reduction targets, and new technologies and policies need to be introduced. “A change in thinking from governments and organizations is required,” said one of the researchers. “We have created a new online tool to help with the reduction of methane emissions. This tool should help to target reductions effectively and monitor expected improvements.” 8. What does the underlined word “perpetuate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. prevent. B. control. C. continue. D. recognise. 9. What is the main cause of the continuous rise in methane emissions? A. More emission of CO2. B. Ongoing animal farming. C. Continued use of fossil fuels. D. Modern agricultural development. 10. According to the study, what may increasing methane emissions bring about? A. Health risks caused by ozone. B. Limiting the formation of ozone. C. A decrease in global temperatures. D. An increase in risk of brain disorder. 11. What is the researcher’s attitude to the new online tool? A. Critical. B. Confident. C. Cautious. D. Disappointed. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章主要讨论了全球甲烷排放量上升的问题，指出了其主要原因，并介绍了相关研究和应对策略，包括一项新的在线工具来帮助减少甲烷排放。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章划线词上文“A new study by an international team of experts highlights how global methane (甲烷) emissions have been rising rapidly since 2006, particularly since 2020. (一个国际专家小组的一项新研究强调，自2006年以来，尤其是自2020年以来，全球甲烷排放量迅速上升)”和下文“the trend unless we do something extreme very soon (除非我们很快采取极端措施，否则这一趋势)”可知，如果不采取行动，球甲烷排放量迅速上升的这种趋势会持续下去。由此可知，划线词perpetuate的意思是“继续，持续”。A. Prevent阻止；B. Control控制；C. Continue继续；D. Recognise识别。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“This continual climb in methane emissions is largely due to the ongoing use of fossil fuels in preference to cleaner alternatives. (甲烷排放量的持续攀升主要是由于人们继续使用化石燃料，而不是更清洁的替代品)”可知，甲烷排放量持续上升的主要原因是持续使用化石燃料。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“It also contributes to the formation of ozone at ground level, increasing the risk of death through diseases related lungs and heart. (它还有助于在地面形成臭氧，增加因肺部和心脏相关疾病而死亡的风险)”可知，甲烷排放量的增加可能导致臭氧带来的健康风险。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“We have created a new online tool to help with the reduction of methane emissions. This tool should help to target reductions effectively and monitor expected improvements.(我们已经创建了一个新的在线工具来帮助减少甲烷排放。这一工具应有助于有效地确定减排目标并监测预期的改善情况)”可推知，研究者对这个在线工具是充满信心的。故选B。 D A study co-led by Professor Rong from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Professor Ke from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine has confirmed the presence of number sense in rats. This discovery is essential as it establishes an animal model that could help researchers investigate the neural bases of numerical ability and disability in humans. The research team devised an innovative approach, combining a novel numerical learning task with brain handling techniques and AI modeling. This method was crucial in resolving debates on whether rats possess a natural sense of numbers. The study’s findings offer a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that support numerical cognition. Number sense is a vital cognitive ability that aids animals in understanding their environment and enhances their survival prospects. It is also a fundamental aspect of mathematical talent, which is a key component of human intelligence. About 3 % to 7 % of people suffer from dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects the ability to learn arithmetic and mathematics of people of normal intelligence. A shortage in number sense is one of the major symptoms. To separate the influence of numbers from continuous amount, the research team conducted careful quantitative analyses. The study demonstrated that rats, even without prior numerical experience, could develop number sense when trained with sounds representing specific quantities. Remarkably, the rats consistently used the number of sounds, rather than the sounds’ continuous amount, to make choices associated with food rewards. Professor Ke expressed her excitement about the study’s potential impact. “This research not only uncovers the mystery of how the brain processes numbers but also opens new avenues for studying the neural circuits involved in numerical processing in animals,” she said. “It also reveals light on the genetic factors associated with mathematical ability.” The findings have broader effects, particularly in the field of AI, where the neural network modeling could inform the development of smarter algorithms (算法). Moreover, the enhanced understanding of the brain’s numerical processing mechanisms could contribute to creating interventions for individuals who struggle with numbers. 12. What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To describe the methods used in the research. B. To highlight the discovery of number sense in rats. C. To introduce the researchers involved in the study. D. To explain the significance of number sense in animals. 13. What is the characteristic of people with dyscalculia? A. Abnormal intelligence. B. Difficulty with languages. C. A lack of number sense. D. Strong mathematical ability. 14. How did the study show rats developed number sense? A. By counting training. B. By brain scans during tasks. C. By food rewards for numbers. D. By wild behavior observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Do Animals Have Number Sense? B. Is AI Used to Model Neural Networks? C. Does Dyscalculia Affect Arithmetic Learning? D. Are Mathematical Abilities Essential to Animals? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了动物是否具备数字感的科学研究及其重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A study co-led by Professor Rong from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Professor Ke from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine has confirmed the presence of number sense in rats.

One day, their house had a big fire. Although they didn’t get injured, they lost their house. As a result, they began living with a distant relative, and tried to find a house. Then, one of Joyce’s neighbors offered Joyce his deserted tiny house, but it needed, in the man’s words, “a little bit of cleaning”. As a volunteer for old people, one morning, my father drove to the deserted house together with Joyce to take a look. I followed them. We saw the house certainly needed cleaning more than just a little. Joyce said, “I can’t do this. There’s no way I could live here.” Admittedly, it didn’t look promising. Sitting empty for several years, the tiny house needed a good cleaning and a lot of freshening up. The bad smell that greeted us as we stepped inside was disheartening enough, but the years of no care further let us down. The walls looked dirty. Some of the wooden boards that formed the floor were broken. The dirt and pet hair in the tiny bedroom were at least half an inch thick. The toilet in the bathroom was filled with dead flies. All of this looked discouraging. But Joyce needed some place to live, and this was being offered to her for free. Turning to old Joyce, my father gathered enthusiasm and said, “I can clean this up and fix it up very nicely. With some fresh paint and new curtains, this can be very charming. Trust me, I’ll make this place become a suitable home…” I quite doubted whether he could really make it and didn’t know if he really made Joyce trust him, but she needed a home. So, with a hesitant hope bordering on doubt, Joyce agreed. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the way, my father asked, “How about joining me in cleaning the house?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We invited Joyce and her grandson to visit their new home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 On the way, my father asked, “How about joining me in cleaning the house?” Though doubtful, I nodded. The next weekend, armed with buckets and brushes, we began. Dad led volunteers to remove debris while I scrubbed walls stained by years of neglect. Neighbors donated paint and floorboards, joining us after hearing Joyce’s plight. Gradually, sunlight pierced through polished windows onto fresh lilac walls. Broken floors were replaced, and cheerful curtains danced in the breeze. Even the bathroom shone after removing dead flies. Though exhausted, our laughter echoed in the transformed space. We invited Joyce and her grandson to visit their new home. Upon entering, Joyce froze, tears tracing her wrinkled cheeks. “It’s…lovely,” she whispered, touching the smooth walls. Her grandson dashed around, marveling at his blue-painted bedroom. Dad smiled, “A home needs heartbeats.” Joyce hugged us tightly, her trembling voice repeating “thank you.” Outside, twilight embraced the tiny house now radiating warmth—proof that compassion could rebuild what fire had destroyed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了老乔伊斯独自和她的孤儿孙子住在一起。一天，他们的房子着火了。虽然他们没有受伤，但他们失去了房子。结果，他们开始和一个远房亲戚住在一起，并试图找到一所房子。后来，乔伊斯的一个邻居把他那间废弃的小房子租给了乔伊斯，小房子很脏，于是作者和父亲一起帮忙打扫，邻居也加入进来。乔伊斯和她的孙子十分感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在路上，父亲问：‘和我一起打扫房子怎么样？’”可知，第一段可描写作者和父亲打扫房子的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们邀请乔伊斯和她的孙子参观他们的新家”可知，第二段可描写乔伊斯和她的孙子参观以后十分感动以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：一起打扫房子——房子打扫干净——参观——感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/get into ②穿透：pierce through /shine through ③取代：replace/take place of 情绪类 ①疲惫的：exhausted/tired ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Upon entering, Joyce froze, tears tracing her wrinkled cheeks.(运用了动名词作宾语和独立主格结构) [高分句型2] Though exhausted, our laughter echoed in the transformed space.(运用了状语从句的省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
