荔湾区广雅中学2024学年第二学期高二年级期中考 英语 满分150分(听力15分，已提前考)，考试用时120分钟。 一、听力 二、阅读理解(共两节，17小题，满分42.5分) 第一节(共12小题，每小题2.5分，满分30分) A After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries. Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista. “We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria. This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.” Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.” 1. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria? A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event. 2. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention? A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project. C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment. 3. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey? A. Community voices secure health funding. B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent. C. The public needs more knowledge about health. D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions. 4. Which of the following best describes Bista? A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了斯坦福大学的一个学生团体Stanford SupplyHer与United to Beat Malaria合作，在白广场举办活动，鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究计划提供资金的事情。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.(去年冬天，斯坦福大学“Stanford SupplyHer”组织的主席Yashaswi Bista在修完一门全球健康入门课程后，获得了采取行动抗击疟疾的动力。疟疾这种疾病在几个世纪以来，每年都夺走数十万人的生命。)”可知，启发Bista采取行动抗击疟疾的是一次学习经历。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria(UBM)to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday.(“Stanford SupplyHer”是一个通过艺术来支持女性健康的学生团体。上周一，该团体与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作，在怀特广场设摊举办了一场活动，旨在鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。)”可知，Bista所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动，鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。由此可知，Bista为支持疟疾预防所做的是为筹款进行宣传活动。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”(“联合抗击疟疾”组织的资深倡导者Macgan Cross写道：“面对像疟疾这样重大的问题，人们很容易觉得自己无能为力。但在这类重大问题上，任何人都可以向决策者表达自己的意见。通过向你选出的官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息，你就能确保自己的声音被听到。”)”可知，Maegan Cross认为面对像疟疾这样重大的问题，人们很容易觉得自己无能为力，但实际上任何人都可以就这类重大问题向决策者表达自己的意见，通过向当选官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息，就能确保自己的声音被听到。所以Maegan Cross想要传达的信息是个人努力在政府决策中很重要。故选D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Bista在修完全球健康入门课程后，积极采取行动抗击疟疾。她所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动，鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持；她会见国会议员，为疟疾的治疗和研究进行呼吁；还写信给国会议员，支持对全球疟疾防治项目持续提供资金，并鼓励学生们参与校园里提高人们对疟疾和其他全球健康问题认识的活动。这些行为都表明她是健康问题尤其是抗击疟疾方面的倡导者。故选A。 B After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”. Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go. Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’ s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of. Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919. “The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence. 5. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous? A. The painter. B. The theft. C. The report. D. The semi-smile. 6. What does Rochelle think of classics? A. Changeable. B. Fading. C. Enduring. D. Admirable. 7. How does the author use the examples of Bach and “Moby Dick” to support the main argument? A. To prove that true classics never lose their value over time. B. To suggest that only music and literature can become timeless. C. To argue that modern audiences have better taste than past ones. D. To show that forgotten works can regain fame through critical reevaluation. 8. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics? A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time. C. The lack of criticism. D. The evolution of tastes. 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了经典作品的形成过程，并举例说明。最终得出结论，经典作品是要经过时间和人们的考验的，最终才能成为经典。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”. (然而，它之所以出名，并不是因为一个诱人的半笑。直到1911年一名工人偷走了这幅杰作，它基本上仍然不为人知；观众蜂拥而至，看到一家法国报纸所说的“一个巨大的、可怕的、裂开的空洞”。)”可知，让《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画出名的是一次工人偷窃事件。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go. (但正如历史学家罗谢尔•格斯坦在一本新书中所写的那样，“永恒的经典”绝非如此。“我相信写在石头上的东西实际上是写在水里的，”她说。经典作品来来去去。)”可知，罗谢尔认为经典作品是多变的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919. (今天，约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫通常被认为是古典音乐大师。但在他1750年去世后，巴赫的作品就不再流行了，直到德国作曲家菲利克斯·门德尔松在19世纪20年代重新发现了它们。赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的代表作《白鲸记》几乎被人遗忘，直到哥伦比亚大学教授雷蒙德·韦弗等评论家在他1919年诞辰100周年前后将他从无名小卒的困境中拯救出来。)”可推知这些例子证明，被遗忘的作品可通过“批判性重新评估” 重获声誉，呼应“经典地位依赖批评家”的核心论点。故选D。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence. (“经典的地位”取决于评论家，并显示了热情的作家改变人们看待艺术的方式的力量。品味在进化，也应该如此。但是，只要人们继续争论什么是今天的经典，文化就会继续存在。经典的真正敌人不是相对主义或觉醒。它是沉默。)”可知，缺乏批评可能最终阻碍经典的发展。故选C。 C The Malagasy baobab trees, a typical feature of Madagascar's landscape, should have disappeared long ago due to the extinction of its former seed-distributing animals. However, it did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, Berkeley, now think they may know the reason. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. They also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits, and searched any feces (粪便) along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no record of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team found 13fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify a culprit (肇事者), this was clear evidence that a seed-distributing animal was out there. They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. The discovery is not without irony (讽刺). Scientists believe bush pigs were brought to Madagascar by humans sometime between 1,000 and 5,000 years ago, just as the former seed-distributing animals were going extinct. Their arrival was a lucky break for the baobabs, especially as scientists have determined a seed's journey through the pig-like digestive system doesn't reduce its ability to grow. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 9. Why did researchers conduct the study? A. To identify the seed carriers for baobabs. B. To explore how baobab trees survived. C. To study how animals distribute baobab seeds. D. To find out if baobab trees are endangered. 10. What convinced the researchers of the real seed carrier? A. The way a rat handled the fruits. B. The presence of chewed seeds. C. The seeds found in animal feces. D. The marks on the baobab fruits. 11. What is the author's attitude toward humans introducing new species? A Optimistic. B. Reflective. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 12. What is the author's purpose in mentioning rabbits? A. To argue against introducing new species. B. To show that rabbits benefit native species. C. To highlight the importance of seed carriers. D. To suggest that introduced species may help. 【答案】9. A 10. C 11. B 12. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了马达加斯加的猴面包树如何在没有原种子传播动物的情况下依然存活，并揭示了新的种子传播者——一种本地鼠和野猪。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. (科学家们与他们的同事一起，监测了15棵树，以寻找马达加斯加西部地区新的猴面包树种子传播动物。)”可知，研究者进行这项研究的目的是为了识别猴面包树的种子传播者。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. (他们随后发现了令人信服的证据：在七堆不同的野猪粪便中发现了猴面包树种子。)”可知，研究者确信真正的种子传播者是野猪。因为在该动物粪便中发现了种子。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. (虽然这一发现本身很重要，但它也提供了有价值的证据，证明引入的物种可能并不完全有害。例如，马达加斯加的猪虽然不是本地的，但它们对真正的本地物种的生存至关重要。在南美洲，欧洲本土的兔子与没有种子传播者的植物之间也怀疑存在类似的关系。对于Dr.Andriantsaralaza博士来说，这表明在谈论物种灭绝之前，应该考虑引进物种的全部生态作用。)”可推知作者对人类引入新物种的态度是反思性的。故选B。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful.Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. (虽然这一发现本身很重要，但它也提供了有价值的证据，证明引入的物种可能并不完全有害。例如，马达加斯加的猪虽然不是本地的，但它们对真正的本地物种的生存至关重要。在南美洲，欧洲本土的兔子与没有种子传播者的植物之间也怀疑存在类似的关系。)”可推知作者提到兔子的目的是为了暗示引入物种可能对生态系统有帮助。故选D。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ___13___ it is a new term in today’s tourism industry.

As the head of the surgical team, I was ____40____ a lot of pressure because we were responsible for ensuring the safety of every patient, ____41____ (rid) them of their pain and improving their quality of life. The goal of our action was not just to conduct surgeries, but also _____42_____ (provide) local medical workers with hands - on training, so local villagers would still be able to access quality treatment conveniently after we left. 【答案】33. had worked 34. the 35. herbal 36. primarily 37. where 38. or 39. be cancelled 40. under 41. ridding 42. to provide 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为山西中医药大学的毕业生，在骨科工作26年后，参与青海玉树中国医疗志愿者巡诊的经历，包括使用中医方法治疗当地居民、提出手术建议以及作为手术团队负责人的压力与目标等。 【33题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：我于1994年毕业于山西中医药大学，到2020年8月参加青海玉树中国医疗志愿者巡诊时，已经在骨科工作了26年。根据时间状语“by the time I took part in”可知，此处描述的是过去某一时间点之前已经完成的动作，应使用过去完成时。故填had worked。 【34题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。此处特指“中国医疗志愿者巡诊”这一活动，因此用定冠词“the”。故填the。 35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然后，我使用中医方法，如针灸和穴位上的草药贴片来治疗各种健康问题，包括膝盖受伤、肌肉酸痛和剧痛。“patches”是名词，需要用形容词作定语来修饰，“herb”的形容词形式是“herbal”，意为“草药的”。故填herbal。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：这些情况主要是由当地居民的放牧习惯和他们生活的艰苦环境造成的，也与他们的一些不健康生活习惯有关。“caused”是动词，需要用副词来修饰，“primary”的副词形式是“primarily”，意为“主要地”。故填primarily。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。此处为定语从句，先行词是“the tough environment”，在从句中作地点状语，因此用关系副词“where”引导。故填where。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：因此，我建议中国医疗志愿者在当地进行手术，或者将病人带到更发达的地区进行治疗。根据句意可知，此处表示两种选择的关系，因此用连词“or”连接。故填or。 【39题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：有一台手术不得不取消，因为病人患有严重的心力衰竭。“cancel”与“One surgery”之间是被动关系，即“手术被取消”，且句子描述的是过去的事情，因此用一般过去时的被动语态，且had to后应接动词原形。故填be cancelled。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：作为手术团队的负责人，我承受着很大的压力，因为我们要负责确保每位患者的安全，消除他们的痛苦，提高他们的生活质量。“under pressure”是固定短语，意为“在压力下”。故填under。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处与“ensuring the safety of every patient”和“improving their quality of life”并列，作介词“for”的宾语，因此用rid的动名词形式。故填ridding。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我们行动的目标不仅仅是进行手术，还包括为当地的医务人员提供实践培训，这样在我们离开后，当地村民仍然能够方便地获得高质量的治疗。“not just...but also...”连接两个并列的成分，此处与“to conduct surgeries”并列，因此用不定式“to provide”作表语。故填to provide。 五、词汇(共15空，每空1分，满分15分) 请根据括号中的中文或英文提示或括号中单词，用人教版选择性必修三Unit1至Unit5所学词汇和短语的适当形式填空。第67-72题要求填写短语。 43.

However, as I reached for my car keys in my pocket, a sinking feeling washed over me — I had locked both my keys and cell phone inside the vehicle. Frustration surged through my veins. Feeling extremely annoyed, I couldn’t help but let out a string of choice words, punctuated by a swift kick to the tire. Just then, a teenager on his bicycle happened to pass by, his eyes catching my display of frustration. Sensing an opportunity to lend a hand, he pulled over and asked, “What’s wrong?” I took a deep breath, grateful for a sympathetic ear, and explained my situation. “I’ve managed to lock my keys and cell phone inside the car,” I sighed. “My wife must be really worried as I should have been home by now.” “Even if I could call my wife, she wouldn’t be able to bring me her car key since this is our only vehicle.” Without hesitation, the teenager extended his hand, offering me his cell phone. “Here, you can use mine to call your wife,” he said, his youthful voice brimming with sincerity. I accepted his offer gratefully, dialing my wife’s number and relaying the situation to her. I could sense her concern on the other end of the line, but she remained calm and asked for my exact position. “I’ll need to see if I can borrow any of our neighbours’ cars.” “I’ve thought about this plan, but most of them must be in town for the carnival today.” I sighed. But she just reassured me that she would find the extra key and find a way to get here as soon as possible. As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude to the teenager, but a new worry crept into my mind. “It’s a seven-mile trip for my wife,” I said, “even if she could borrow a car, she hasn’t driven for long and she’s pregnant.” The teenager asked, “Did you just say you live in the Medway street? My school is nearby so I’m quite familiar with the route. Just tell your wife I’m coming to get the key.” “But that’s seven miles! It’ll take you at least an hour round trip.” 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。 The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved, I reached into my pocket, eager to offer him some money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll go and bring her key myself.” I was taken aback by his selflessness. Gratitude welled up within me, and I could only manage a heartfelt “Thank you.” With that, the teenager pedaled away, his figure growing smaller in the distance. An hour passed. Filled with restless anticipation, I saw him approaching. In his outstretched hand, he held the salvation of my locked car—the spare key. Relief washed over me as I took it from him, marveling at his firm commitment to helping a stranger in need. Deeply moved, I reached into my pocket, eager to offer him some money. But as I extended the money towards him, he shook his head, refusing any reward. “Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling with youthful energy. With a nod of gratitude, I bid him farewell as he rode off into the sunset. As I drove away in my newly unlocked car, I couldn’t help but reflect on the unexpected encounter. The memory of the selfless teenager’s seven-mile journey would forever be engraved in my mind, serving as a reminder to always be ready to lend a hand to those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者将自己的车钥匙和手机都锁在车中，感到非常沮丧的时候，一位少年主动提供了帮助的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那个少年只是笑了笑，脸上带着坚定的神情。”以及第二段首句内容“我深受感动，把手伸进口袋，急切地想给他一些钱。”可知，第一段可描写少年如约为作者送来了备用钥匙。 ②由第二段首句内容“我深受感动，把手伸进口袋，急切地想给他一些钱。”可知，第二段可描写作者非常感动少年给自己的帮助。 2.续写线索：手机和钥匙落在了汽车里——非常沮丧和恼火——一位少年正好从旁经过——帮助给作者的妻子打电话——妻子承诺将车钥匙送来——作者很担心自己的妻子——少年见状主动提出帮作者取钥匙——少年如约从来备用钥匙，作者非常感动 3.词汇激活 行类 ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②到来：approach/come ③拒绝：refuse/turn down 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②期待：anticipation/expectancy 【点睛】【高分句型1】An hour passed.

Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista. “We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria. This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.” Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.” 1. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria? A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event. 2. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention? A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project. C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment. 3. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey? A. Community voices secure health funding. B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent. C. The public needs more knowledge about health. D Individual efforts matter in government decisions. 4. Which of the following best describes Bista? A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist. B After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”. Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go. Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’ s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of. Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919. “The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or awakening. It is silence. 5. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous? A. The painter. B. The theft. C. The report. D. The semi-smile. 6. What does Rochelle think of classics? A. Changeable. B. Fading. C. Enduring. D. Admirable. 7. How does the author use the examples of Bach and “Moby Dick” to support the main argument? A. To prove that true classics never lose their value over time. B. To suggest that only music and literature can become timeless. C. To argue that modern audiences have better taste than past ones. D. To show that forgotten works can regain fame through critical reevaluation. 8. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics? A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time. C. The lack of criticism. D. The evolution of tastes. C The Malagasy baobab trees, a typical feature of Madagascar's landscape, should have disappeared long ago due to the extinction of its former seed-distributing animals. However, it did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, Berkeley, now think they may know the reason. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 trees to find new baobab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar region. They also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits, and searched any feces (粪便) along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no record of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team found 13fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify a culprit (肇事者), this was clear evidence that a seed-distributing animal was out there. They then found convincing evidence: baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig feces. The discovery is not without irony (讽刺). Scientists believe bush pigs were brought to Madagascar by humans sometime between 1,000 and 5,000 years ago, just as the former seed-distributing animals were going extinct. Their arrival was a lucky break for the baobabs, especially as scientists have determined a seed's journey through the pig-like digestive system doesn't reduce its ability to grow. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 9. Why did researchers conduct the study? A. To identify the seed carriers for baobabs. B. To explore how baobab trees survived. C. To study how animals distribute baobab seeds. D. To find out if baobab trees are endangered. 10. What convinced the researchers of the real seed carrier? A. The way a rat handled the fruits. B. The presence of chewed seeds. C. The seeds found in animal feces. D. The marks on the baobab fruits. 11. What is the author's attitude toward humans introducing new species? A. Optimistic. B. Reflective. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 12. What is the author's purpose in mentioning rabbits? A. To argue against introducing new species. B. To show that rabbits benefit native species. C. To highlight the importance of seed carriers. D. To suggest that introduced species may help. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ___13___ it is a new term in today’s tourism industry.

However, as I reached for my car keys in my pocket, a sinking feeling washed over me — I had locked both my keys and cell phone inside the vehicle. Frustration surged through my veins. Feeling extremely annoyed, I couldn’t help but let out a string of choice words, punctuated by a swift kick to the tire. Just then, a teenager on his bicycle happened to pass by, his eyes catching my display of frustration. Sensing an opportunity to lend a hand, he pulled over and asked, “What’s wrong?” I took a deep breath, grateful for a sympathetic ear, and explained my situation. “I’ve managed to lock my keys and cell phone inside the car,” I sighed. “My wife must be really worried as I should have been home by now.” “Even if I could call my wife, she wouldn’t be able to bring me her car key since this is our only vehicle.” Without hesitation, the teenager extended his hand, offering me his cell phone. “Here, you can use mine to call your wife,” he said, his youthful voice brimming with sincerity. I accepted his offer gratefully, dialing my wife’s number and relaying the situation to her. I could sense her concern on the other end of the line, but she remained calm and asked for my exact position. “I’ll need to see if I can borrow any of our neighbours’ cars.” “I’ve thought about this plan, but most of them must be in town for the carnival today.” I sighed. But she just reassured me that she would find the extra key and find a way to get here as soon as possible. As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude to the teenager, but a new worry crept into my mind. “It’s a seven-mile trip for my wife,” I said, “even if she could borrow a car, she hasn’t driven for long and she’s pregnant.” The teenager asked, “Did you just say you live in the Medway street? My school is nearby so I’m quite familiar with the route. Just tell your wife I’m coming to get the key.” “But that’s seven miles! It’ll take you at least an hour round trip.” 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。 The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply moved, I reached into my pocket, eager to offer him some money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
