Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015. Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses. One of Ilicic’s favourite horses over the years, he said, was a local race winner that eventually died peacefully of old age. Another, now 28, was in a number of Serbian movies before retiring to the sanctuary. Some horses end up in a place where they are neither a pet nor a working machine" on farms, he said. So, they become difficult for people to keep. He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care. The sanctuary tries to find new homes for as many animals as possible to ensure there is always space for new ones. The sounds of different animal noises fill the small sanctuary when visitors arrive. Among the animals are seven cats that were found as babies in a closed plastic bag, and seven baby Yorkshire pigs that were rescued from a waste center. Now, they are fully grown animals that enjoy being with people. The sanctuary operates on donations. So far, Serbian officials have helped by repairing local roads. But there is still no system to register his sanctuary as an official horse sanctuary. He said, “We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.” 4. What motivated Ilicic to set up the horse sanctuary? A. To compete in local horse races. B. To provide shelter for old and abused horses. C. To start a new career in animal care. D. To gain recognition from the state. 5. What happened to the horses that were rescued from a truck in 2020? A. They were all killed immediately. B. They were adopted by wealthy families. C. They were given new homes by the sanctuary. D. They were returned to their previous owners. 6. What is the main message conveyed by the article? A. The importance of animal rights in Serbia. B. The challenges faced by animal sanctuaries. C. The success of Ilicic’s horse racing career. D. The economic benefits of running a sanctuary. 7. Which of the following can best describe Ilicic? A. Humorous and energetic. B. Unrealistic and innocent. C. Firm-willed and caring. D. Reserved and hard-working. 【答案】4 B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ilicic建立马庇护所并照顾马匹的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses.(Ilicic收留了年老和受虐的马。但他也收留了那些生活得很好，但不能再由管理员照顾的马。在塞尔维亚，动物护理一直是个难题。虽然官员们为狗设立了收容所，但没有国家支持的地方来安置马)”可知，Ilicic建立马庇护所是为了给年老和受虐的马提供庇护所。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段“He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care.(他记得2020年有一次，官员们拦下了一辆装载着20多匹非法运输的马的卡车。这些马正要被杀死。它们的情况都很糟糕，但庇护所为它们中的大多数找到了新家。其中三匹马仍在他们的照料之下)”可知，2020 年从卡车上获救的马匹中，大部分被庇护所安置了新家，部分留在此处照料。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章围绕塞尔维亚唯一的马匹庇护所展开，讲述了创始人Ilicic拯救老马、受虐马及被遗弃马匹的经历，同时指出塞尔维亚缺乏官方支持的马匹庇护所，动物保护面临挑战。尽管庇护所依赖捐赠且未获官方认证，但 Ilicic 坚持通过实际行动推动动物保护。文章通过具体案例（如拯救非法运输马匹、为动物找新家等），强调了在塞尔维亚重视动物权利的必要性。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“Serbian Zeljko Ilicic saved his first horse from death 12 years ago and found his calling. Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015.(12年前，塞尔维亚人Zeljko Ilicic从死亡线上救下了他的第一匹马，并找到了自己的使命。Ilicic现年43岁。2015年，他建立了巴尔干国家唯一的马庇护所)”以及最后一段“We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.(目前，我们是巴尔干地区唯一的一个，我们坚信，随着时间的推移，我们会得到国家的认可)”可知，Ilicic十二年如一日救助马匹，即便面临资金短缺和官方认证缺失仍坚持运营庇护所，体现Ilicic意志坚定，并富有爱心。故选C。 C Each month in the modern Gregorian calendar consists of at least 28 days. That number would be a nicely rounded 30 were it not for February. While every month besides the second in the calendar contains at least 30 days, but February falls short with 28 (and 29 on a leap year). So why is the most widely used calendar in the world so discrepant in the lengths of its months? And why is February stuck with the fewest number of days? Blame it on Roman superstition (迷信). The Gregorian calendar’s oldest ancestor, the first Roman calendar, had a big difference in structure from its later forms: it consisted of 10 months rather than 12. In order to fully sync (同步) the calendar with the lunar year, the Roman king Numa Pompilius added January and February to the original 10 months. The previous calendar had had 6 months of 30 days and 4 months of 31 days, for a total of 304 days. However, Numa wanted to avoid having even numbers in his calendar, as Roman superstition at the time held that even numbers were unlucky. He subtracted (减去) a day from each of the 30-day months to make them 29. The lunar year consists of 355 days (354.367 to be exact, but calling it 354 would have made the whole year unlucky!), which meant that he now had 56 days left to work with. In the end, at least 1 month out of the 12 needed to contain an even number of days. This is because of simple mathematical fact: the sum of any even amount (12 months) of odd numbers will always equal an even number — and he wanted the total to be odd. So Numa chose February, a month that would be host to Roman celebration honouring the dead, as the unlucky month to consist of 28 days. Despite changes in the calendar as it was changed after Numa’s additions — changes that include the shortening of February at certain intervals, the addition of a leap month, and eventually the modern leap day — February’s 28-day length has stuck. 8. What does the underlined word “discrepant” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Varying. B. Limited. C. Fixed. D. Balanced. 9. Why did Numa decide to shorten February? A. To make the calendar align with the lunar year. B. To avoid having even numbers in his calendar. C. To ensure every month had at least 30 days. D. To make the total number of days in a year odd. 10. What can be inferred about the Roman calendar before Numa’s changes? A. It had a consistent number of days in each month. B. It was based on the lunar cycle. C. It had a total of 355 days in a year. D. It was more accurate than the Gregorian calendar. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the Roman King Numa Pompilius. B. To stress the importance of the modern Gregorian calendar. C. To discuss the disadvantage of the present calendar. D. To explain why there are just 28 days in February usually. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代格里高利历法中月份天数不一致的原因，特别是为什么二月只有28天。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Each month in the modern Gregorian calendar consists of at least 28 days. That number would be a nicely rounded 30 were it not for February. While every month besides the second in the calendar contains at least 30 days, but February falls short with 28 (and 29 on a leap year). So why is the most widely used calendar in the world so discrepant in the lengths of its months?(在现代公历中，每个月至少有28天。如果不是因为二月，这个数字将会是一个很好的整数30。虽然除了二月份，日历上的每个月都至少有30天，但二月份只有28天（闰年有29天）。那么，为何世界上使用最广泛的日历在月份天数上如此discrepant呢？)”可知，世界上使用最广泛的日历中，每个月的天数都不一样，即日历中每个月的长度是不同的，故画线词意思是“不同的”。A. Varying.不同的；B. Limited.有限的；C. Fixed.固定的；D. Balanced.平衡的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, Numa wanted to avoid having even numbers in his calendar, as Roman superstition at the time held that even numbers were unlucky. He subtracted (减去) a day from each of the 30-day months to make them 29.(然而，Numa希望在他的日历中避免出现偶数，因为当时的罗马迷信认为偶数是不吉利的。他从每个月30天中减去一天，使它们变成29天)”可知，Numa决定缩短二月是为了避免在他的日历中出现偶数。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In order to fully sync (同步) the calendar with the lunar year, the Roman king Numa Pompilius added January and February to the original 10 months.(为了使日历与农历年完全同步，罗马国王Numa Pompilius在最初的10个月的基础上增加了一月和二月)”可推知，Numa改变之前的罗马日历是基于农历周期的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“So why is the most widely used calendar in the world so discrepant in the lengths of its months? And why is February stuck with the fewest number of days? Blame it on Roman superstition (迷信).(那么，为什么世界上使用最广泛的日历中，每个月的长度会有如此大的差异呢？为什么二月的天数最少？这要归咎于罗马人的迷信)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要解释了二月份的天数最少，是因为罗马人的迷信，要避免日历中出现偶数。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释为什么二月通常只有28天。故选D。 D Cruise and Waymo are two companies that have been developing self-driving taxis, sometimes called “robotaxis(robot+ taxi)”. Both companies have been testing their cars in San Francisco for years. The robotaxis are programmed to do everything on their own. Once, the robotaxis could only drive in specific areas, at certain times. The companies were only allowed to charge passengers for some of the trips. But in early August, Waymo and Cruise were given full permission to operate their robotaxis in San Francisco. The companies were allowed to run as many driverless cars as they wanted, 24 hours a day. The move was a big step for self-driving cars, and many people were excited about the change. The new rules also allowed the companies to charge for every ride, which meant that the robotaxis could finally start to earn money. For many people, the problems with the self-driving taxis didn’t come as a surprise. The chief of San Francisco’s fire department says that since May of 2022, there have been over 60 cases where robotaxis interfered with firetrucks. Robotaxis have also blocked city buses and other emergency vehicles. A Cruise car crashed into a fire truck, sending a person to the hospital. Later, a Cruise car stopped working in the middle of an intersection (十字路口), causing a traffic jam. As a result, California told Cruise to take half of its robotaxis off the roads. Many people believe that self-driving cars just aren’t ready yet for the real world. In one recent example, a self-driving car got stuck in wet cement (水泥) because it didn’t know that wet cement was different from a road. In another case, a robotaxi killed a dog. The self-driving system knew the dog was there, but didn’t know how to avoid it. In spite of the problems, both Waymo and Cruise are planning to expand their self-driving car service to other cities. Cruise has plans to bring their robotaxis to at least 15 cities. Waymo says its driverless system will soon be able to work “in any city, on any kind of vehicle”. Though the quality of self-driving cars is improving, it’s likely to be a while before most people view them as safe. 12. What did Cruise and Waymo start to do in early August? A. They began testing their cars in other cities. B. They were allowed to charge passengers for some trips. C. They started operating their robotaxis 24 hours a day. D. They stopped testing their cars in San Francisco. 13. What does the author intend to do by citing these events in Paragraph 3? A. To show robotaxis’s help with traffic jam incidents. B. To highlight the practical problems with driverless cars. C. To stress importance of robotaxis in emergency situations. D. To praise Cruise for its pioneering work in robotaxi technology. 14. What can be inferred about the public’s opinion on self-driving taxis from the article? A. People are generally satisfied with the current performance of self-driving taxis. B. Many people believe that self-driving taxis are not ready for the real world. C. The public is eager to use self-driving taxis as soon as possible. D People are indifferent to the problems faced by self-driving taxis. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Future of Self-Driving Taxis B. The Challenges of Self-Driving Taxis in San Francisco C. The Economic Impact of Self-Driving Taxis D. The Technological Advancements of Self-Driving Taxis 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最近Cruise和Waymo是两家一直在开发自动驾驶出租车的公司， 有时被称为“robot axis(机器人+出租车)”。这两家公司多年来一直在旧金山测试他们的汽车而且获准在旧金山扩大业务。但是一连串的事故引发了人们对这些汽车实际安全性的新担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But in early August, Waymo and Cruise were given full permission to operate their robotaxis in San Francisco.(但在8月初，Waymo和Cruise获得了在旧金山运营自动驾驶出租车的完全许可)”可知，Cruise和Waymo在8月初开始全天候运营他们的自动驾驶出租车。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For many people, the problems with the self-driving taxis didn’t come as a surprise. The chief of San Francisco’s fire department says that since May of 2022, there have been over 60 cases where robotaxis interfered with firetrucks. Robotaxis have also blocked city buses and other emergency vehicles. A Cruise car crashed into a fire truck, sending a person to the hospital. Later, a Cruise car stopped working in the middle of an intersection (十字路口), causing a traffic jam. As a result, California told Cruise to take half of its robotaxis off the roads.(对于许多人来说，自动驾驶出租车出现的问题并不令人意外。旧金山消防局的负责人表示，自 2022 年 5 月以来，已有超过 60 起案例表明自动驾驶出租车干扰了消防车。自动驾驶出租车还曾阻塞了城市公交车道和其他应急车辆的通行。一辆克鲁斯汽车撞上了消防车，导致一人受伤入院。随后，一辆克鲁斯汽车在十字路口中途停止运行，造成了交通堵塞。因此，加利福尼亚州要求克鲁斯公司将一半的自动驾驶出租车从道路上撤下)”可知，作者在第三段中引用这些事件旨在强调无人驾驶汽车存在的实际问题。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Many people believe that self-driving cars just aren’t ready yet for the real world.(许多人认为自动驾驶汽车目前还不足以应用于实际场景)”可知，许多人认为自动驾驶出租车尚未准备好进入现实世界。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cruise and Waymo are two companies that have been developing self-driving taxis, sometimes called “robotaxis(robot+ taxi)”. Both companies have been testing their cars in San Francisco for years.( Cruise和Waymo是两家致力于研发自动驾驶出租车的公司，这类车辆有时被称为“机器人出租车（机器人 + 出租车）”。这两家公司多年来一直在旧金山进行车辆测试)”，第三段“For many people, the problems with the self-driving taxis didn’t come as a surprise.(对很多人来说，自动驾驶出租车的问题并不令人意外)”，倒数第二段“Many people believe that self-driving cars just aren’t ready yet for the real world.(许多人认为自动驾驶汽车目前还不足以应用于实际场景)”可知，文章主要讨论了自动驾驶出租车在旧金山面临的挑战，包括安全问题和公众的担忧。可知，B选项“旧金山自动驾驶出租车面临的挑战”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT We all need a little sleep support sometimes.

Her family had fallen on hard times, and her father, the only breadwinner, had recently lost his job. Money was tight, and Christmas was just around the corner. Lily had been dreaming of a beautiful doll(洋娃娃)for months, but she knew it was an impossible wish. Determined to contribute something to her family’s holiday, Lily decided to take on extra chores(家务活)around the neighborhood. She knocked on doors, offering to do gardening, clean houses, or even walk dogs, all in the hope of earning some money. Due to the economic downturn and the unsatisfactory lives of many neighbors, they politely declined Lily’s offer. When she knocked on the last neighbor’s door, a kind-faced elderly answered the door. After understanding Lily’s purpose of coming, this kind lady said yes to Lily’s offer. “You can call me Sophia,” the woman responded happily. In the following days, Lily worked very hard and tried her best to do everything well. She cleaned up Sophia’s house thoroughly. As Christmas approached, Lily could see people dressed up as Santa Claus giving small gifts to the children in the neighborhood every time she walked Sophia’s dog. Seeing the happy expressions on the children’s faces, Lily felt that helping others was really good. She secretly told herself that if she could, she would also go and help others. Three days before Christmas, Lily finished her work at Sophia’s house. Sophia gave her a considerable wage as a reward. Although she really wanted that doll, she felt that the money should still be used where it’s more needed. On the morning before Christmas, Lily’s doorbell suddenly rang. Opening the door, Lily found a freezing winter morning wind carrying a small, wrapped gift box into her arms. Surprised, she looked up to see Sophia standing there, smiling warmly. “Merry Christmas, dear,” Sophia said, placing the gift gently in Lily’s hands. 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。 Inside the box was the very doll Lily had been dreaming of. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overwhelmed with gratitude, Lily decided to pay it forward. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Inside the box was the very doll Lily had been dreaming of. She gasped in disbelief, her eyes widening with joy. The doll had golden curls, bright blue eyes, and a frilly pink dress. It was even more beautiful than she had imagined. Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes as she realized that Sophia had been so thoughtful. She couldn’t believe that her dream had come true. Holding the doll tightly, she gave Sophia a big hug, thanking her over and over again. Sophia just smiled and said, “I saw the love in your eyes when you talked about it. You deserve it, dear.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Lily decided to pay it forward. She remembered how she had felt when she was trying to help her family and how much Sophia’s kindness had meant to her. So, she took some of the money she had earned and bought some small gifts. Then, she went around the neighborhood, looking for children who might be less fortunate. She gave the gifts to them, seeing the same sparkle of joy in their eyes that she had felt when she received the doll. It was the most meaningful Christmas Lily had ever had, and she learned that kindness could be passed on and bring warmth to everyone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫Lily的小女孩在家庭经济困难的情况下，决定在圣诞节前夕通过做家务活来赚钱。尽管她多次被邻居拒绝，但最终一位名叫Sophia的老妇人接受了她的帮助。Lily努力工作，并在圣诞节前夕收到了Sophia送给她的梦寐以求的洋娃娃。受到Sophia善意的启发，Lily决定将这份爱心传递下去，用自己赚来的钱给其他不幸的孩子买礼物，度过了一个有意义的圣诞节。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“礼盒里正是Lily一直梦想的洋娃娃。”可知，第一段可描写Lily获得了Sophia给她的洋娃娃，非常感激对方。 ②由第二段首句内容“满怀感激的Lily决定将这份善意传递下去。”可知，第二段可描写Lily受到Sophia善意的启发，决定将这份爱心传递下去，用自己的钱帮助其他孩子。 2.续写线索：礼盒里是Lily一直想要的洋娃娃——她难以置信地看着Sophia，Sophia解释说这是Lily应该获得的——Lily非常感激对方——满怀感激的Lily决定将这份善良传递下去——于是，她拿出自己所赚的一部分钱为那些贫困的孩子买礼物——看到孩子们眼中的光芒，Lily懂得了善良可以传递 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①努力：try/make an effort to ②购买：buy/ purchase ③寻找：look for/ seek for 情绪类 ①开心：joy/ delight ②体贴的：thoughtful/ considerate 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes as she realized that Sophia had been so thoughtful.（运用了as引导的状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】She couldn’t believe that her dream had come true.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高州市2025年高考适应性考试 英语 全卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：高考范围。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Nairobi National Park Half-Day Guided Tour Overview See free-ranging wildlife with the backdrop of the Nairobi skyline on a half-day tour to Nairobi National Park, a convenient way to experience a Kenya safari (观兽旅行) even if you have limited time.

Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015. Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses. One of Ilicic’s favourite horses over the years, he said, was a local race winner that eventually died peacefully of old age. Another, now 28, was in a number of Serbian movies before retiring to the sanctuary. Some horses end up in a place where they are neither a pet nor a working machine" on farms, he said. So, they become difficult for people to keep. He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care. The sanctuary tries to find new homes for as many animals as possible to ensure there is always space for new ones. The sounds of different animal noises fill the small sanctuary when visitors arrive. Among the animals are seven cats that were found as babies in a closed plastic bag, and seven baby Yorkshire pigs that were rescued from a waste center. Now, they are fully grown animals that enjoy being with people. The sanctuary operates on donations. So far, Serbian officials have helped by repairing local roads. But there is still no system to register his sanctuary as an official horse sanctuary. He said, “We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.” 4. What motivated Ilicic to set up the horse sanctuary? A. To compete in local horse races. B. To provide shelter for old and abused horses. C. To start a new career in animal care. D. To gain recognition from the state. 5. What happened to the horses that were rescued from a truck in 2020? A. They were all killed immediately. B. They were adopted by wealthy families. C. They were given new homes by the sanctuary. D. They were returned to their previous owners. 6. What is the main message conveyed by the article? A. The importance of animal rights in Serbia. B. The challenges faced by animal sanctuaries. C. The success of Ilicic’s horse racing career. D. The economic benefits of running a sanctuary. 7. Which of the following can best describe Ilicic? A. Humorous and energetic. B. Unrealistic and innocent. C. Firm-willed and caring. D. Reserved and hard-working. C Each month in the modern Gregorian calendar consists of at least 28 days. That number would be a nicely rounded 30 were it not for February. While every month besides the second in the calendar contains at least 30 days, but February falls short with 28 (and 29 on a leap year). So why is the most widely used calendar in the world so discrepant in the lengths of its months? And why is February stuck with the fewest number of days? Blame it on Roman superstition (迷信). The Gregorian calendar’s oldest ancestor, the first Roman calendar, had a big difference in structure from its later forms: it consisted of 10 months rather than 12. In order to fully sync (同步) the calendar with the lunar year, the Roman king Numa Pompilius added January and February to the original 10 months. The previous calendar had had 6 months of 30 days and 4 months of 31 days, for a total of 304 days. However, Numa wanted to avoid having even numbers in his calendar, as Roman superstition at the time held that even numbers were unlucky. He subtracted (减去) a day from each of the 30-day months to make them 29. The lunar year consists of 355 days (354.367 to be exact, but calling it 354 would have made the whole year unlucky!), which meant that he now had 56 days left to work with. In the end, at least 1 month out of the 12 needed to contain an even number of days. This is because of simple mathematical fact: the sum of any even amount (12 months) of odd numbers will always equal an even number — and he wanted the total to be odd. So Numa chose February, a month that would be host to Roman celebration honouring the dead, as the unlucky month to consist of 28 days. Despite changes in the calendar as it was changed after Numa’s additions — changes that include the shortening of February at certain intervals, the addition of a leap month, and eventually the modern leap day — February’s 28-day length has stuck. 8. What does the underlined word “discrepant” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Varying. B. Limited. C. Fixed. D. Balanced. 9. Why did Numa decide to shorten February? A. To make the calendar align with the lunar year. B. To avoid having even numbers in his calendar. C. To ensure every month had at least 30 days. D. To make the total number of days in a year odd. 10. What can be inferred about the Roman calendar before Numa’s changes? A. It had a consistent number of days in each month. B. It was based on the lunar cycle. C. It had a total of 355 days in a year. D. It was more accurate than the Gregorian calendar. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the Roman King Numa Pompilius. B. To stress the importance of the modern Gregorian calendar. C. To discuss the disadvantage of the present calendar. D. To explain why there are just 28 days in February usually. D Cruise and Waymo are two companies that have been developing self-driving taxis, sometimes called “robotaxis(robot+ taxi)”. Both companies have been testing their cars in San Francisco for years. The robotaxis are programmed to do everything on their own. Once, the robotaxis could only drive in specific areas, at certain times. The companies were only allowed to charge passengers for some of the trips. But in early August, Waymo and Cruise were given full permission to operate their robotaxis in San Francisco. The companies were allowed to run as many driverless cars as they wanted, 24 hours a day. The move was a big step for self-driving cars, and many people were excited about the change. The new rules also allowed the companies to charge for every ride, which meant that the robotaxis could finally start to earn money. For many people, the problems with the self-driving taxis didn’t come as a surprise. The chief of San Francisco’s fire department says that since May of 2022, there have been over 60 cases where robotaxis interfered with firetrucks. Robotaxis have also blocked city buses and other emergency vehicles. A Cruise car crashed into a fire truck, sending a person to the hospital. Later, a Cruise car stopped working in the middle of an intersection (十字路口), causing a traffic jam. As a result, California told Cruise to take half of its robotaxis off the roads. Many people believe that self-driving cars just aren’t ready yet for the real world. In one recent example a self-driving car got stuck in wet cement (水泥) because it didn’t know that wet cement was different from a road. In another case, a robotaxi killed a dog. The self-driving system knew the dog was there, but didn’t know how to avoid it. In spite of the problems, both Waymo and Cruise are planning to expand their self-driving car service to other cities. Cruise has plans to bring their robotaxis to at least 15 cities. Waymo says its driverless system will soon be able to work “in any city, on any kind of vehicle”. Though the quality of self-driving cars is improving, it’s likely to be a while before most people view them as safe. 12. What did Cruise and Waymo start to do in early August? A. They began testing their cars in other cities. B. They were allowed to charge passengers for some trips. C. They started operating their robotaxis 24 hours a day. D. They stopped testing their cars in San Francisco. 13. What does the author intend to do by citing these events in Paragraph 3? A. To show robotaxis’s help with traffic jam incidents. B. To highlight the practical problems with driverless cars. C. To stress importance of robotaxis in emergency situations. D. To praise Cruise for its pioneering work in robotaxi technology. 14. What can be inferred about the public’s opinion on self-driving taxis from the article? A. People are generally satisfied with the current performance of self-driving taxis. B. Many people believe that self-driving taxis are not ready for the real world. C. The public is eager to use self-driving taxis as soon as possible. D. People are indifferent to the problems faced by self-driving taxis. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Future of Self-Driving Taxis B The Challenges of Self-Driving Taxis in San Francisco C. The Economic Impact of Self-Driving Taxis D. The Technological Advancements of Self-Driving Taxis 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。 SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT We all need a little sleep support sometimes.

These expert-backed sleep hacks just might help you get to dreamland. Make over your mornings. A good night’s rest starts when you say “Rise and shine!” the morning before.

Her family had fallen on hard times, and her father, the only breadwinner, had recently lost his job. Money was tight, and Christmas was just around the corner. Lily had been dreaming of a beautiful doll(洋娃娃)for months, but she knew it was an impossible wish. Determined to contribute something to her family’s holiday, Lily decided to take on extra chores(家务活)around the neighborhood. She knocked on doors, offering to do gardening, clean houses, or even walk dogs, all in the hope of earning some money. Due to the economic downturn and the unsatisfactory lives of many neighbors, they politely declined Lily’s offer. When she knocked on the last neighbor’s door, a kind-faced elderly answered the door. After understanding Lily’s purpose of coming, this kind lady said yes to Lily’s offer. “You can call me Sophia,” the woman responded happily. In the following days, Lily worked very hard and tried her best to do everything well. She cleaned up Sophia’s house thoroughly. As Christmas approached, Lily could see people dressed up as Santa Claus giving small gifts to the children in the neighborhood every time she walked Sophia’s dog. Seeing the happy expressions on the children’s faces, Lily felt that helping others was really good. She secretly told herself that if she could, she would also go and help others. Three days before Christmas, Lily finished her work at Sophia’s house. Sophia gave her a considerable wage as a reward. Although she really wanted that doll, she felt that the money should still be used where it’s more needed. On the morning before Christmas, Lily’s doorbell suddenly rang. Opening the door, Lily found a freezing winter morning wind carrying a small, wrapped gift box into her arms. Surprised, she looked up to see Sophia standing there, smiling warmly. “Merry Christmas, dear,” Sophia said, placing the gift gently in Lily’s hands. 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。 Inside the box was the very doll Lily had been dreaming of. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overwhelmed with gratitude, Lily decided to pay it forward. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
