Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots without the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season, with temperatures just right for wandering through the city or admiring baroque architecture. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site's dry season. Whenever you visit, you'll be glad to set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while mammal lovers can keep their eyes peeled for bears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You'll be comfortable while exploring the park's 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads. If you like risking a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter—an easy trade-off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 1. What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 2. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Arches National Park. D. Yellowstone National Park. 3. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Wear thick clothes. B. Get an entry reservation. C. Cycle in cold weather. D. Admire historic structures. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了全球几个以其令人惊叹的春季而闻名的目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“As the snow begins to melt away, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots without the overwhelming rush of tourists. (随着雪开始融化，今年春天一定要去户外。在夏季高峰期人群涌入之前，你可以在没有巨大的游客量涌入的情况下探索独特的景点)”可知，春天旅行的好处在于游客较少。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Yellowstone National Park中“As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. (随着降雪开始放缓，黄石公园出现了小动物，使这个国家公园成为春季观赏野生动物的好地方)”可知, Yellowstone National Park适合动物爱好者，故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由Arches National Park中“During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade-off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. (在4月和5月的高峰期，所有公园游客都需要预订才能进入——这是一个很容易的交易以获得完美的天气和看到沙漠花朵发芽)”可知，游客在四月参观Arches National Park时应该提前预订。故选B项。 B Growing up in Los Angeles’ Mid-City, Hannah Nides always admired the Mid-City Library’s building, a location she frequented with her mom. “For a while, the old TV in my room only had a DVD player. It didn’t connect to the Internet or have any channels,” she said. “So when I found there were actually a bunch of good DVDs here, I started coming here all the time.” During her senior year at high school, Hannah reached out to Amy Wander, head of youth programming at the library. Soon, she spent her time at the library not just checking out DVDs but also helping Wander prepare for programs and organize materials to send to other library locations.“Hannah has been a true joy to work with,” Wander said. “Her ideas and enthusiasm were an inspiration and her imaginative contributions made our programs engaging and interactive. We wish her all the best in her future work.” For Hannah, volunteering at the library allowed her to try on a career she’d always envisioned. “I’ve always had this dream of being a librarian, and it was really cool to actually see myself in that environment,” she said. This fall, Hannah started her first semester at the University of New Orleans, where she’s high school, but a master’s degree in library studying music performance. She studied jazz during science isn’t off the table for her. “I’m hoping to find the time to keep volunteering at a library,” she said. “I don’t know where my life will take me, but Ill never stop loving and using libraries.” To other youth, Hannah has a message about the library. “It’s so much cooler than you think. There’s this idea of libraries being a boring place where you’ll get shushed (发嘘声使某人安静) by the librarians and all you can do is just read books all day,” Hannah explained. “But you can also do crafts, do yoga, or play games. And I think many teens don’t realize that.” 4. What did Hannah’s experience with the good DVDs show? A. Her enthusiasm for the old TV. B. Her initial attraction to the library. C. Her mother’s successful parenting style. D. Her curiosity about the Internet in the library. 5. How did assisting Wander at the library influence Hannah? A. She was able to study at university. B. She built up her collection of DVDs. C. She explored a potential career path. D. She developed an interest in youth programs. 6. What is Hannah like according to the text? A. Energetic and creative. B. Ambitious and honest. C. Conservative and joyful. D. Sensitive and determined. 7. What does Hannah imply in the last paragraph? A. Libraries are being misunderstood. B. Librarians are friendlier than expected. C. Libraries are breaking their regulations. D. Many teens think libraries are out of date. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Hannah Nides与图书馆的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““For a while, the old TV in my room only had a DVD player. It didn’t connect to the Internet or have any channels,” she said. “So when I found there were actually a bunch of good DVDs here, I started coming here all the time.”(“有一段时间，我房间里的那台旧电视只有DVD播放器。它没有连接到互联网，也没有任何频道，”她说。“所以当我发现这里其实有很多不错的DVD时，我就开始经常来这里了。”)”可知，Hannah因为房间里的旧电视只能播放DVD，当她发现图书馆有很多不错的DVD时，她开始经常来图书馆，这表明了Hannah最初是被图书馆里的DVD所吸引，从而开始频繁光顾图书馆的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For Hannah, volunteering at the library allowed her to try on a career she’d always envisioned. “I’ve always had this dream of being a librarian, and it was really cool to actually see myself in that environment,” she said.(对Hannah来说，在图书馆做志愿者让她能够尝试自己一直梦寐以求的职业。她说：“我一直梦想成为一名图书管理员，能在这样的环境中看到自己真的很酷。”)”可知，在图书馆协助Wander让Hannah有机会尝试自己一直梦寐以求的职业——图书管理员，即她探索了一条潜在的职业道路。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Her ideas and enthusiasm were an inspiration and her imaginative contributions made our programs engaging and interactive.(她的想法和热情令人鼓舞，她富有想象力的贡献使我们的节目变得引人入胜且富有互动性。)”可推知，Hannah是一个精力充沛且有创造力的人。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s so much cooler than you think. There’s this idea of libraries being a boring place where you’ll get shushed (发嘘声使某人安静) by the librarians and all you can do is just read books all day,” Hannah explained. But you can also do crafts, do yoga, or play games. And I think many teens don’t realize that.(它比你想象的要酷得多。有一种观点认为，图书馆是一个无聊的地方，图书管理员会让你保持安静，而你整天能做的只是读书，”Hannah解释道。但你也可以做手工，做瑜伽，或玩游戏。我认为很多青少年并没有意识到这一点。)”可知，Hannah认为图书馆是一个比人们想象中更酷的地方，人们普遍认为图书馆只是一个让人安静读书的地方，但实际上，图书馆还可以做很多其他的事情，如做手工、做瑜伽或玩游戏等，很多青少年并没有意识到这一点，由此可推知，Hannah暗示了图书馆被人们误解了。故选A。 C Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry. Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said, “We need to be ready for this new reality.” In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities. Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers. “We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.” “This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said. 8. Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan? A. It encourages the elderly care industry. B. It has a sound foundation for robot nursing. C. Its super-aging society well reflects the trend. D. It owns the most advanced robots in the world. 9. What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. treat. B. examine. C. monitor. D. reposition. 10. Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates? A. It solves the issue of low pay. B. It eases their heavy working burden. C. It offers a good working environment. D. It helps to treat their occupational injuries. 11. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Japan’s exploration represents the care industry. B. High quality care for the elderly should be advocated. C. Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care. D. Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了护理机器人对养老院员工留存率和患者护理质量的积极影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could entail elsewhere-a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said. (“我们的研究集中在日本，因为它是一个超老龄化社会，为其他地方未来可能面临的情况提供了一个很好的例子——人口减少，老年人口比例增加，劳动年龄人口比例下降，”李说)”可知，Yong Suk Lee将研究集中在日本是因为其超老龄化社会很好地反映了趋势。故选C。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题型。根据第三段“Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms.(转运机器人，护士用它来在病床及房间周围抬起、移动和rotate病人)” 可知，“rotate”与“lift（抬起）”“move（移动）”并列，且与病人在病床及房间周围的动作相关，结合选项，可推测 “rotate” 意思为 “转动，改变位置”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention. (工作人员通常会经历很多身体疼痛，尤其是膝盖和背部。工作很辛苦，工资也很低。因此，机器人的使用与员工留存率有关)”可知，机器人的使用降低了工人离职率是因为机器人减轻了工作人员的繁重工作负担。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. (圣母大学一位研究未来工作的专家的一项新研究发现，机器人的使用与就业增加、员工留存率提高、生产力提高和护理质量提高有关)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕机器人如何通过提升员工留存率和患者护理质量来应对老龄化社会，重点强调其对这两方面的积极影响。选项C“护理机器人有利于员工保留和患者护理”全面概括主题。故选C。 D The ocean feels boundless. If you were to start swimming from shore, it’s easy to believe — fitness and oxygen aside — you could continue forever. That’s a rather different experience from overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevent easy passage. It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier they encounter. That assumption, though, is wrong. It’s common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them. That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators. This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats. This discovery leads to a surprising new idea that sea animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure. In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim. As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean. 12. What is the assumption in the first paragraph? A. Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly. B. The ocean presents no barriers to sea life. C. Humans are naturally skilled at sea navigation. D. Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel. 13. Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage? A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward a new argument. D. To add some background information. 14. What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean? A. Maximizing economic benefits. B. Creating underpasses for surfers. C. Prioritizing human infrastructures. D. Adapting to oceanic species’ needs. 15. Where could this passage come from? A. A book review. B. A travel blog. C. A science magazine. D. A geography textbook. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出人们认为海洋生物在海洋中通行无阻的假设是错误的，以绿锯鳐为例说明人类基础设施会阻碍海洋生物，建议工程建设要适应海洋物种的需求。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier they encounter. That assumption, though, is wrong.(这些经过数千年进化以在海洋中航行的动物，一定能轻松绕过它们遇到的任何障碍。然而，这个假设是错误的)”可知，第一段中的假设是海洋中的动物轻松绕过它们在海洋中遇到的任何障碍，即海洋对海洋生物没有障碍。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way.(然而，这可能会给海洋物种带来意想不到的大问题，尤其是当基础设施挡道时)”和第三段“Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats.(以生活在西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区阿什伯顿河河口附近的绿锯鳐为例。2017年，在当地一家石油和天然气加工厂工作的工程师们建造了一个新的装载设施，由一个大型打桩码头和坚固的岩壁组成，延伸到离岸500米的地方。后来，科学家们意识到，绿锯鳐不能或不愿意绕过屏障。但这可能会阻止动物到达有价值的觅食地和其他栖息地)”可知，文中列举了绿锯鳐因人类建设的码头和石壁无法到达觅食地和其他栖息地的例子，是为了说明前文提到的基础设施会给海洋物种带来大问题这一观点。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean.(随着气候持续变化，许多海洋物种正在向北迁移，它们需要合适的栖息地来迁徙。无论是在人工建筑中创建通道，还是规划远离变暖海洋的路线，在我们继续开发海洋时，精心设计我们的基础设施对保护动物大有帮助)”可知，作者建议海洋工程建设要适应海洋物种的需求，要保护海洋动物。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. (例如，生活在西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区阿什伯顿河口附近的绿锯鳐。2017年，当地一家石油和天然气加工厂的工程师建造了一个新的装载设施，包括一个大型桩式码头和坚固的石壁，向海上延伸了500米。后来，科学家们意识到绿锯鳐无法或不愿意绕过这个障碍物)”以及最后一段对海洋物种迁徙和人类基础设施设计以保护海洋生物的讨论，可知文章围绕海洋生物、人类活动对其影响以及保护措施等科学话题展开。所以文章最有可能来自科学杂志。故选C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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ugh!

Look in the messiest areas of your living space. D. Everyone misplaces things every now and again. E. Check these places before extending your search. F. The best thing you can do to avoid losing things is be organized. G. Thinking about the last time you saw it helps you retrace your steps. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了寻找丢失物品的方法和建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“Ugh! You swear you had your keys a second ago, and now they’ re just gone! Before you panic, take a deep breath.(呃！你发誓一秒钟前你还拿着钥匙，现在却不见了！在你恐慌之前，深呼吸)”可知，本空要说跟“丢东西”这个情境有关的话题，且起到安慰的作用，由后文“Losing things is a part of life, but finding them doesn’t have to be a nerve - wracking rush.(丢东西是生活的一部分，但找东西不一定是一场令人崩溃的匆忙)”可知，本句要表达丢东西是常有的事，故D选项“Everyone misplaces things every now and again.(每个人都会时不时地丢东西)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 由上文“Identify what makes your missing object stand out in its environment. It might be its size, color, texture or shape.(确定是什么让你的丢失物品在环境中脱颖而出。它可能是大小、颜色、质地或形状)”可知，本空要说跟“根据物品特征寻找”有关的话题，由后文“It will make the process faster and more efficient.(这将使过程更快、更有效率)”可知，本句要表达根据这个独特特征去寻找，故B选项“Then search based on that unique feature.(然后根据那个独特特征去寻找)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 由上文“Look in places where you’ve lost this item before. Do you tend to lose your keys or student cards often? If so, it may have ended up in a similar place as before. Think about where your common lost objects tend to be lost. For example, maybe you have a habit of leaving your keys in the lock or your bag in the car.(看看你以前丢过这个东西的地方。你经常丢钥匙或学生证吗？如果是这样，它可能和以前一样落在了类似的地方。想想你经常丢的东西通常丢在哪里。例如，也许你习惯把钥匙落在锁里或把包落在车里)”可知，本空要说跟“检查这些地方”有关的话题，故E选项“Check these places before extending your search.(在扩大搜索范围之前，先检查这些地方)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 【19题详解】 由上文“Try looking at the room from a new angle. If you’ve retraced your steps, gone through all the motions, and still haven’t found anything, change your perspective. Crawl instead of walking down the hall.(试着从一个新的角度看房间。如果你已经回溯了自己的脚步，经历了所有的动作，但仍然没有找到任何东西，那就改变一下你的视角。缓慢行进，而不是沿着走廊走)”可知，本空要说跟“改变视角”有关的话题，且是举例说明改变视角的不同方式，故A选项“Or sit where you were standing.(或者坐在你原来站的地方)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 由下文“Scattered and crowded areas make it easier to lose objects, as things can fall under other things or get buried beneath piles. Regularly clean and tidy up living spaces, so you won’t have to spend more time looking for things later on.(杂乱和拥挤的区域更容易丢东西，因为东西可能会掉到其他东西下面或被埋在堆里。定期清理和整理生活空间，这样你以后就不必花更多时间找东西了)”可知，本空要说跟“保持整洁避免丢东西”有关的话题，且是段落主旨句，故F选项“The best thing you can do to avoid losing things is be organized.(避免丢东西最好的方法就是保持有条理)”能概括下文，符合题意。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Henry had been trained to be a show dog.

It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world. While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel. We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost. Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own. Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds. To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild. His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material. 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。 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. But the family was none too happy about his visit. They scolded and swatted at him. At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them. And then he quickly learned some social skills. He would take some snacks to meet them. For several days he played all day in the trees surrounding our house but came down at bedtime. One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. Our girls fretted. They wanted to seek Squirt. We prevented them because it was too dangerous. But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food. And that remained the pattern for weeks. The experience was entertaining and heartwarming for our family. In the wild and somewhat silly moments of raising an orphaned baby squirrel, our children learned to value and appreciate life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家一天看到一只幼小的迷路的松鼠，他们决定收养它，看着这只小松鼠从瘦弱幼小，慢慢变的健康活泼，让作者一家感觉既有趣又温暖。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，在树林里，Squirt遇到了一个灰色松鼠家庭。”可知，第一段可描写Squirt遇到这一家灰松鼠的情况，Squirt如何与灰松鼠一家交往。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天晚上，Squirt没有回到我们家，下起了大雨。”可知，第二段可描写作者一家的担心，和最后的结果，以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：遇到灰松鼠——与灰松鼠一家交往——没有回家，担心它——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①责骂：scold/blame/rebuke ②拍打：swat/slap/hit ③寻找：seek/find/look for/search for ④阻止：prevent/put a stop to/head off 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted ②有趣的：entertaining/delightful/engrossing 【点睛】[高分句型1]At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them.(so...that引导的结果状语从句) [高分句型2]But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food.(when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秘密★启用前【考试时间2025年5月18日】 南山中学实验学校2025年高考冲刺考试(三) 英语 试卷总分：150 考试时间：120分钟 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。 注意事项： 1.答题前考生务必将本人姓名、准考证号和座位号填写在答题卡相应位置； 2.答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将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，再选涂其它答案标号； 3.所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试卷上答题无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.

Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots without the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season, with temperatures just right for wandering through the city or admiring baroque architecture. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site's dry season. Whenever you visit, you'll be glad to set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while mammal lovers can keep their eyes peeled for bears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You'll be comfortable while exploring the park's 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads. If you like risking a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter—an easy trade-off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 1. What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 2. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Arches National Park. D. Yellowstone National Park. 3. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Wear thick clothes. B. Get an entry reservation. C. Cycle in cold weather. D. Admire historic structures. B Growing up in Los Angeles’ Mid-City, Hannah Nides always admired the Mid-City Library’s building, a location she frequented with her mom. “For a while, the old TV in my room only had a DVD player. It didn’t connect to the Internet or have any channels,” she said. “So when I found there were actually a bunch of good DVDs here, I started coming here all the time.” During her senior year at high school, Hannah reached out to Amy Wander, head of youth programming at the library. Soon, she spent her time at the library not just checking out DVDs but also helping Wander prepare for programs and organize materials to send to other library locations.“Hannah has been a true joy to work with,” Wander said. “Her ideas and enthusiasm were an inspiration and her imaginative contributions made our programs engaging and interactive. We wish her all the best in her future work.” For Hannah, volunteering at the library allowed her to try on a career she’d always envisioned. “I’ve always had this dream of being a librarian, and it was really cool to actually see myself in that environment,” she said. This fall, Hannah started her first semester at the University of New Orleans, where she’s high school, but a master’s degree in library studying music performance. She studied jazz during science isn’t off the table for her. “I’m hoping to find the time to keep volunteering at a library,” she said. “I don’t know where my life will take me, but Ill never stop loving and using libraries.” To other youth, Hannah has a message about the library. “It’s so much cooler than you think. There’s this idea of libraries being a boring place where you’ll get shushed (发嘘声使某人安静) by the librarians and all you can do is just read books all day,” Hannah explained. “But you can also do crafts, do yoga, or play games. And I think many teens don’t realize that.” 4. What did Hannah’s experience with the good DVDs show? A. Her enthusiasm for the old TV. B. Her initial attraction to the library. C. Her mother’s successful parenting style. D. Her curiosity about the Internet in the library. 5. How did assisting Wander at the library influence Hannah? A. She was able to study at university. B. She built up her collection of DVDs. C. She explored a potential career path. D. She developed an interest in youth programs. 6. What is Hannah like according to the text? A. Energetic and creative. B. Ambitious and honest. C. Conservative and joyful. D. Sensitive and determined. 7. What does Hannah imply in the last paragraph? A. Libraries are being misunderstood. B. Librarians are friendlier than expected. C. Libraries are breaking their regulations. D. Many teens think libraries are out of date. C Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry. Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said, “We need to be ready for this new reality.” In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities. Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers. “We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.” “This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said. 8. Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan? A. It encourages the elderly care industry. B. It has a sound foundation for robot nursing. C. Its super-aging society well reflects the trend. D. It owns the most advanced robots in the world. 9. What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean? A treat. B. examine. C. monitor. D. reposition. 10. Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates? A. It solves the issue of low pay. B. It eases their heavy working burden. C. It offers a good working environment. D. It helps to treat their occupational injuries. 11. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Japan’s exploration represents the care industry. B. High quality care for the elderly should be advocated. C. Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care. D. Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination. D The ocean feels boundless. If you were to start swimming from shore, it’s easy to believe — fitness and oxygen aside — you could continue forever. That’s a rather different experience from overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevent easy passage. It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier they encounter. That assumption, though, is wrong. It’s common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them. That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators. This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats. This discovery leads to a surprising new idea that sea animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure. In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim. As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean. 12. What is the assumption in the first paragraph? A. Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly. B. The ocean presents no barriers to sea life. C. Humans are naturally skilled at sea navigation. D. Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel. 13. Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage? A. To illustrate a point. B To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward a new argument. D. To add some background information. 14. What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean? A. Maximizing economic benefits. B. Creating underpasses for surfers. C. Prioritizing human infrastructures. D. Adapting to oceanic species’ needs. 15. Where could this passage come from? A. A book review. B. A travel blog. C. A science magazine. D. A geography textbook. 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。 Ugh! You swear you had your keys a second ago, and now they’ re just gone!

It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world. While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel. We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost. Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own. Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds. To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild. His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material. 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。 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
