Although the work is fictional, Dickens claimed that the law case that runs through the book was based on multiple historical cases. Scholars often point to the true story of the Thellusson vs Woodford case in which a will was read and contested. The book is widely regarded as a masterpiece of fiction and literature of law. The Republic, by Plato The best-known work of the best-known thinker in Western philosophical history. Written around 375 BCE, The Republic was first published in ancient Greece. Plato wrote the book as a Socratic dialogue in which Socrates talks with Athenians and foreigners alike about the meaning of justice and the rule of law. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee The 1960 novel explores the racial tensions in the fictional Alabama town of Maycomb. The story is told through the eyes of a six-year-old girl called Scout. The novel shows the process of learning we all go through a society fills us with ideas of justice, equality, community, and the importance of law. On Liberty, by John Stuart Mill Published in 1859, On Liberty is one of the most celebrated defences of free speech ever written. Liberty is a crucial concept for any student of law to analyse. Like justice, it is hard to define. On Liberty is an important text for anyone looking to understand the foundations of modern thought with regard to the individual in a society governed by laws. 21. What does Bleak House focus on? A. Historical cases in fiction. B. The stories of Charles Dickens. C The case of Jarndyce vs Jarndyce. D. The will of Thellusson vs Woodford. 22.

B My wife and I have gardened together for years, but the great birch tree (桦树) challenge of 2024 put our teamwork to the test. We’d agreed to replace two birch trees we’d lost and buy trees small enough for me to manage. Yet, at the garden center, my wife’s attention was drawn to a towering 15-foot birch with a root ball the size of a big exercise ball. When I asked an employee about its weight, he estimated, “About 400 pounds.” I tried to make sure my wife could hear so I raised my voice on purpose, “So, you’d need to be a sportsman to move that, right?” She nodded. Game over, I thought. “Call Brian,” my wife said, referring to our strong firefighter son-in-law. The next morning, Brian arrived with 800 pounds of birch trees in his truck. After much pushing and struggling, we managed to get them off the truck, but they went no further than the driveway. Brian left for some reason, and the trees remained where they’d landed. That night, it sprang to my mind that we’d been asking the wrong question. Instead of “How do we move a 400-pound tree?” we should be asking, “How can we make the tree lighter?” With that shift in mind, I got out of bed and removed the 300-pound pile of earth, dirt and rocks from each root ball, making them much easier to handle. Two months later, the two trees are tall and solid, already casting shadows. To me, they are more than just trees—they are reminders of the times I limit myself by sticking to the usual methods. I am grateful for having a partner who pushes me to look up and change the way I think about things. 24. How did the author probably feel at the sight of the 15-foot birch? A. Excited. B. Concerned. C. Relieved. D. Astonished. 25. Why did the author raise his voice on purpose? A. To prevent his wife from buying the tree. B. To warn his wife about the tree’s poor health. C. To show his determination to be a sportsman. D. To express his dissatisfaction at the employee. 26. What did the author do with the trees that night? A. He threw them away. B. He just left them in the driveway. C. He reduced their weight before planting. D. He asked Brian to take them home by truck. 27. What do the trees represent to the author? A. The power of teamwork. B. A devotion to hard work. C. A physical challenge he overcame. D. The value of thinking out of the box. C The first time Norma Geddes successfully cut and shaped a piece of glass, at the age of 69, she was really in high spirits. “I was one of five people in a class where we were learning how to make stained-glass (彩绘玻璃) panels and everyone was 30 years younger than me,” says the former nurse and healthcare manager. “I became so excited at seeing this moon-shaped piece of glass come to life in my hands.” Geddes had become interested in glass artistry only a few weeks previously, while she was overseeing the decoration of her kitchen in Richmond, Virginia, in 2010. “I told my designer I wanted two cupboards with textured glass (肌理玻璃) and he suggested I go to the glass shop to pick them out,” she says. “Surprised, I noticed a small note in the shop advertising local stained-glass classes. It was so unusual I decided to sign up.” “I was attracted by the act of making such a panel and decided to build a workshop of my own afterward,” Geddes recalls. While working full-time at a hospital in Richmond, Geddes turned her basement into a glass-cutting studio. She found herself spending whole weekends in the new workshop, producing dozens of wonderful pieces. Now 82, Geddes spends up to eight hours a day, seven days a week working in her studio. She has included not only stained-glass panels but also fused-glass boxes and beaded accessories (串珠配饰) like bottle stoppers, as well as various recycled pieces. Her creations can take between two days and a week to finish, and sell for between $35 and $500 in the three galleries that display her work. Cutting glass can be risky work and while Geddes has never suffered any major injuries, she says that she is “always covered with little cuts”. She isn’t discouraged though, and is preparing for her biggest show yet at a new exhibition center in Charlottesville. 28. What made Geddes stand out in class? A. Her identity as a nurse. B. Her super skills. C. Her social abilities. D. Her advanced age. 29. What happened to Geddes at the glass shop in 2010? A. She discovered her future hobby. B. She observed how to make textured glass. C. She failed to find what she wanted. D. She met a faulty product. 30. What do we know about 82-year-old Geddes? A. She teaches glass artistry. B. She has enlarged her range of products. C. She has moved to Charlottesville. D. She decides to build a workshop of her own. 31. Which words can best describe Geddes? A. Patient and straightforward. B. Caring and talented. C. Creative and inspiring. D. Tough and generous. D Clownfish living in the sea aren’t as good-humored as the 2003 movie Finding Nemo might suggest. These creatures are actually highly territorial. “They are ready to attack anytime,” recalls Justin Rhodes, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana who has been bitten by clownfish to the point of bleeding. Previous studies have showed that ocellaris clownfish — the common clownfish, as seen in Finding Nemo — especially dislike an intruder (入侵者) of their own kind. If they don’t see any white upright lines — the common clownfish’s signature look — the fish is usually free to enter. But if they see any lines similar to their own, they will defend their home. Still, a big question remained for scientists. Not only do twenty-eight total species of clownfish swim the seas — some with as many as three lines, others with none—but countless other patterned fish share the habitat. With all this diversity and color, how exactly do clownfish recognize members of their own species? To learn this, a research team raised a school of common clownfish — which have three white upright lines — in isolation, ensuring they had never seen any fish beyond their own kind. When the fish were six months old, the team set up several different tanks (鱼缸) with cameras to film the activities inside. First, they placed 50 common clownfish in individual tanks and introduced more “newcomer” common clownfish. They also added fish from three other species: orange skunk clownfish, which are light orange and have a single white line running from head to tail; Clark’s anemonefish, which are black and yellow with two white upright lines; and saddleback clownfish, black and orange fish that typically have three white upright patches (斑块). The researchers observed the common clownfish coming into the intensest conflict with the fish that have three white upright lines and being the gentlest with those that have a single white line. The fish with two white upright lines or three white upright patches were only slightly pressured. These results suggested that common clownfish recognized — and directed great anger toward — their own species. 32. What does the underlined word “good-humored” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Friendly. B. Beautiful. C. Smart. D. Lively. 33. How do ocellaris clownfish identify an intruder? A. By listening for its sounds. B. By checking its marks. C. By observing the way it swims. D. By determining the smell it gives off. 34. What similarities do the fish share in the research? A. They are black and yellow. B They are raised by the team. C. They belong to the same species. D. They have patterns on their bodies. 35. What can be inferred about common clownfish? A. They are rare and valuable. B. They prefer to live in large groups. C. They may understand basic maths. D. They have a strong ability to recognize colors. 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。 Irish playwright (剧作家) George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is the most beautiful thing in this world — and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!” ____36____ After all, the young often fail to appreciate the very things the aged have learned to treasure.

We dreamed of growing our own vegetables, but none of us had any gardening experience. One sunny afternoon, while I was thinking about what to do, a sudden knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I hurried to the door, curious about who might be visiting. Standing there was an elderly man in worn, dirty clothes. His face was weathered but kind, and his eyes held stories untold. “Hello” he said softly. “I noticed your garden. I’ve been gardening for years and would love to help you plant some vegetables if you’d like.” I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should trust this stranger. But his earnest expression convinced me to invite him inside for a chat. As we talked, Mr. Thompson shared stories of his years spent tending gardens. He spoke with passion about the joy of planting seeds and watching them grow. I learned that he had once owned a garden of his own, but after losing his wife, he suffered from loneliness, which touched me, and I decided to accept his offer to help with my garden. The next day, Mr. Thompson arrived, ready to work. My daughter, Ana, who was just seven, greeted him with much enthusiasm (热情). She invited him in for tea and shared the cookies she had baked. Their connection developed immediately, and I watched, touched, as Mr. Thompson’s face lit up at Ana’s innocent chatter. As the weeks passed, Mr. Thompson came to our home daily. With his expert guidance, the empty plot transformed into a vegetable garden. In return for his help, I began baking delicious apple pies. Each afternoon, I would present him with a warm slice, and he would share his stories with my children, filling our home with laughter and warmth. My children grew attached to him, eagerly expecting his visits. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 However, one day, he didn’t come to my house on time to take care of the garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we decided to take care of Mr. Thompson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 贵池区2024-2025学年度第二学期期中教学质量检测 高一英语试题 (满分：150分 时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂：非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3. 请按题号顺序在各题答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4. 保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 5. 考试结束后，将答题卡统一交回。 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) 例：How much is the shirt?

We’d agreed to replace two birch trees we’d lost and buy trees small enough for me to manage. Yet, at the garden center, my wife’s attention was drawn to a towering 15-foot birch with a root ball the size of a big exercise ball. When I asked an employee about its weight, he estimated, “About 400 pounds.” I tried to make sure my wife could hear so I raised my voice on purpose, “So, you’d need to be a sportsman to move that, right?” She nodded. Game over, I thought. “Call Brian,” my wife said, referring to our strong firefighter son-in-law. The next morning, Brian arrived with 800 pounds of birch trees in his truck. After much pushing and struggling, we managed to get them off the truck, but they went no further than the driveway. Brian left for some reason, and the trees remained where they’d landed. That night, it sprang to my mind that we’d been asking the wrong question. Instead of “How do we move a 400-pound tree?” we should be asking, “How can we make the tree lighter?” With that shift in mind, I got out of bed and removed the 300-pound pile of earth, dirt and rocks from each root ball, making them much easier to handle. Two months later, the two trees are tall and solid, already casting shadows. To me, they are more than just trees—they are reminders of the times I limit myself by sticking to the usual methods. I am grateful for having a partner who pushes me to look up and change the way I think about things. 24. How did the author probably feel at the sight of the 15-foot birch? A. Excited. B. Concerned. C. Relieved. D. Astonished. 25. Why did the author raise his voice on purpose? A. To prevent his wife from buying the tree. B. To warn his wife about the tree’s poor health. C. To show his determination to be a sportsman. D. To express his dissatisfaction at the employee. 26. What did the author do with the trees that night? A. He threw them away. B. He just left them in the driveway. C. He reduced their weight before planting. D. He asked Brian to take them home by truck. 27. What do the trees represent to the author? A. The power of teamwork. B. A devotion to hard work. C. A physical challenge he overcame. D. The value of thinking out of the box. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章通过一次种植桦树的经历，反思了传统思维的局限性，并强调了跳出常规、创新思考的重要性。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Yet, at the garden center, my wife’s attention was drawn to a towering 15-foot birch with a root ball the size of a big exercise ball. When I asked an employee about its weight, he estimated, “About 400 pounds.” I tried to make sure my wife could hear so I raised my voice on purpose, “So, you’d need to be a sportsman to move that, right?”(然而，在园艺中心，我妻子的注意力被一棵高耸的15英尺桦树吸引住了，它的根球像一个巨大的健身球那么大。当我询问员工这棵树的重量时，他估计道：“大约400磅。”我故意提高声音，确保妻子能听见：“所以，你需要是个运动员才能搬动它，对吧？”)”可知，作者看到15英尺高的桦树时，员工估计其重量为400磅，并强调需要“运动员”才能移动。作者故意提高声音让妻子听到，试图劝阻她购买这棵树，表明他对此感到担忧，担心无法搬运。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Yet, at the garden center, my wife’s attention was drawn to a towering 15-foot birch with a root ball the size of a big exercise ball. When I asked an employee about its weight, he estimated, “About 400 pounds.” I tried to make sure my wife could hear so I raised my voice on purpose, “So, you’d need to be a sportsman to move that, right?”(然而，在园艺中心，我妻子的注意力被一棵高耸的15英尺桦树吸引住了，它的根球像一个巨大的健身球那么大。当我询问员工这棵树的重量时，他估计道：“大约400磅。”我故意提高声音，确保妻子能听见：“所以，你需要是个运动员才能搬动它，对吧？”)”可知，作者故意提高声音强调树的重量和搬运难度，目的是让妻子意识到困难，从而放弃购买。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“That night, it sprang to my mind that we’d been asking the wrong question. Instead of “How do we move a 400-pound tree?” we should be asking, “How can we make the tree lighter?” With that shift in mind, I got out of bed and removed the 300-pound pile of earth, dirt and rocks from each root ball, making them much easier to handle.(那天夜里，我突然意识到我们问错了问题。我们不该问“怎么搬动一棵400磅的树？”，而应该问“怎么才能让树变轻？”有了这个思路的转变，我起床从每个根球里挖出了300磅的泥土、沙石，让它们变得容易处理多了。)”可知，作者当晚意识到应改变思路，将问题从“如何搬运400磅的树”转为“如何让树更轻”。他连夜挖出树根球中300磅的泥土和石块，使树变得更轻，更易处理。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To me, they are more than just trees—they are reminders of the times I limit myself by sticking to the usual methods. I am grateful for having a partner who pushes me to look up and change the way I think about things.(对我来说，它们不仅仅是树——它们提醒我，我常常因为固守常规方法而限制了自己。我很感激有这样一个伙伴，她推动我去仰望、去改变我的思考方式。)”可知，作者通过此事反思，认为树不仅是植物，更是提醒他不要局限于常规方法的象征。他感激妻子推动他改变思维方式，最终通过“减重”解决问题。这体现了“跳出常规思维”的重要性。故选D。 C The first time Norma Geddes successfully cut and shaped a piece of glass, at the age of 69, she was really in high spirits. “I was one of five people in a class where we were learning how to make stained-glass (彩绘玻璃) panels and everyone was 30 years younger than me,” says the former nurse and healthcare manager. “I became so excited at seeing this moon-shaped piece of glass come to life in my hands.” Geddes had become interested in glass artistry only a few weeks previously, while she was overseeing the decoration of her kitchen in Richmond, Virginia, in 2010. “I told my designer I wanted two cupboards with textured glass (肌理玻璃) and he suggested I go to the glass shop to pick them out,” she says. “Surprised, I noticed a small note in the shop advertising local stained-glass classes. It was so unusual I decided to sign up.” “I was attracted by the act of making such a panel and decided to build a workshop of my own afterward,” Geddes recalls. While working full-time at a hospital in Richmond, Geddes turned her basement into a glass-cutting studio. She found herself spending whole weekends in the new workshop, producing dozens of wonderful pieces. Now 82, Geddes spends up to eight hours a day, seven days a week working in her studio. She has included not only stained-glass panels but also fused-glass boxes and beaded accessories (串珠配饰) like bottle stoppers, as well as various recycled pieces. Her creations can take between two days and a week to finish, and sell for between $35 and $500 in the three galleries that display her work. Cutting glass can be risky work and while Geddes has never suffered any major injuries, she says that she is “always covered with little cuts”. She isn’t discouraged though, and is preparing for her biggest show yet at a new exhibition center in Charlottesville. 28. What made Geddes stand out in class? A. Her identity as a nurse. B. Her super skills. C. Her social abilities. D. Her advanced age. 29. What happened to Geddes at the glass shop in 2010? A. She discovered her future hobby. B. She observed how to make textured glass. C. She failed to find what she wanted. D. She met a faulty product. 30. What do we know about 82-year-old Geddes? A. She teaches glass artistry. B. She has enlarged her range of products. C. She has moved to Charlottesville. D. She decides to build a workshop of her own. 31. Which words can best describe Geddes? A. Patient and straightforward. B. Caring and talented. C. Creative and inspiring. D. Tough and generous. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Norma Geddes在晚年偶然发现对玻璃艺术的热爱，并通过不断学习和实践，将这一爱好发展为个人事业的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段““I was one of five people in a class where we were learning how to make stained-glass (彩绘玻璃) panels and everyone was 30 years younger than me,” says the former nurse and healthcare manager.(“我是班上五个人之一，我们正在学习如何制作彩绘玻璃面板，而且每个人都比我小30岁，”这位前护士和医疗经理说。)”可知，班上的人都比Geddes小30岁，因此Geddes的高龄让她在课堂上脱颖而出，故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Geddes had become interested in glass artistry only a few weeks previously, while she was overseeing the decoration of her kitchen in Richmond, Virginia, in 2010. “I told my designer I wanted two cupboards with textured glass (肌理玻璃) and he suggested I go to the glass shop to pick them out,” she says. “Surprised, I noticed a small note in the shop advertising local stained-glass classes. It was so unusual I decided to sign up.”(仅仅几周前，Geddes才对玻璃艺术产生了兴趣，那是在2010年，她在弗吉尼亚州里士满监督厨房的装修时。“我告诉我的设计师我想要两个带有肌理玻璃的橱柜，他建议我去玻璃店挑选，”她说。“令我惊讶的是，我在店里注意到一张小纸条，上面写着当地的彩绘玻璃课程。这太不寻常了，于是我决定报名。”)”可知，Geddes在玻璃店看到了写着当地的彩绘玻璃课程的纸条，因此报名了，从而创建了自己的工作室，故她在2010年发现了未来的爱好，故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She has included not only stained-glass panels but also fused-glass boxes and beaded accessories (串珠配饰) like bottle stoppers, as well as various recycled pieces.(她的作品不仅包括彩绘玻璃面板，还有熔融玻璃盒、瓶塞等串珠配饰，以及各种回收材料制成的作品。)”可知，82岁的Geddes的作品不仅有彩绘玻璃面板，还有熔融玻璃盒、瓶塞等串珠配饰等等，因此她扩大了作品的范围。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She has included not only stained-glass panels but also fused-glass boxes and beaded accessories (串珠配饰) like bottle stoppers, as well as various recycled pieces.(她的作品不仅包括彩绘玻璃面板，还有熔融玻璃盒、瓶塞等串珠配饰，以及各种回收材料制成的作品。)”可知，她创作的作品种类很多，因此可推断出她是一个有创造力的人；再根据文章第一段““I was one of five people in a class where we were learning how to make stained-glass (彩绘玻璃) panels and everyone was 30 years younger than me,” says the former nurse and healthcare manager.(“我是班上五个人之一，我们正在学习如何制作彩绘玻璃面板，而且每个人都比我小30岁，”这位前护士和医疗经理说。)”可知，班上的人都比Geddes小30岁，她的年龄已经很高了，却还是在追求自己创作的梦想，故可推知她是一个激励人心的人。故选C。 D Clownfish living in the sea aren’t as good-humored as the 2003 movie Finding Nemo might suggest. These creatures are actually highly territorial. “They are ready to attack anytime,” recalls Justin Rhodes, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana who has been bitten by clownfish to the point of bleeding. Previous studies have showed that ocellaris clownfish — the common clownfish, as seen in Finding Nemo — especially dislike an intruder (入侵者) of their own kind. If they don’t see any white upright lines — the common clownfish’s signature look — the fish is usually free to enter. But if they see any lines similar to their own, they will defend their home. Still, a big question remained for scientists. Not only do twenty-eight total species of clownfish swim the seas — some with as many as three lines, others with none—but countless other patterned fish share the habitat. With all this diversity and color, how exactly do clownfish recognize members of their own species? To learn this, a research team raised a school of common clownfish — which have three white upright lines — in isolation, ensuring they had never seen any fish beyond their own kind. When the fish were six months old, the team set up several different tanks (鱼缸) with cameras to film the activities inside. First, they placed 50 common clownfish in individual tanks and introduced more “newcomer” common clownfish. They also added fish from three other species: orange skunk clownfish, which are light orange and have a single white line running from head to tail; Clark’s anemonefish, which are black and yellow with two white upright lines; and saddleback clownfish, black and orange fish that typically have three white upright patches (斑块). The researchers observed the common clownfish coming into the intensest conflict with the fish that have three white upright lines and being the gentlest with those that have a single white line. The fish with two white upright lines or three white upright patches were only slightly pressured. These results suggested that common clownfish recognized — and directed great anger toward — their own species. 32. What does the underlined word “good-humored” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Friendly. B. Beautiful. C. Smart. D. Lively. 33. How do ocellaris clownfish identify an intruder? A. By listening for its sounds. B. By checking its marks. C. By observing the way it swims. D. By determining the smell it gives off. 34. What similarities do the fish share in the research? A. They are black and yellow. B. They are raised by the team. C. They belong to the same species. D. They have patterns on their bodies. 35. What can be inferred about common clownfish? A. They are rare and valuable. B. They prefer to live in large groups. C. They may understand basic maths. D. They have a strong ability to recognize colors. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现小丑鱼领地意识强，通过识别身上线条等图案辨别同类，对有相同线条的同类攻击性最强。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段第二句“These creatures are actually highly territorial. ‘They are ready to attack anytime,’(这些生物实际上具有高度的领地意识。‘它们随时准备攻击，’)”可知，小丑鱼充满攻击性，由此可推知，小丑鱼并不像电影中那样友好。所以猜测good-humored表“有好的”意思。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If they don’t see any white upright lines—the common clownfish’s signature look—the fish is usually free to enter. But if they see any lines similar to their own, they will defend their home.(如果它们没有看到任何白色竖线 —— 普通小丑鱼的标志性外观 —— 其他鱼通常可以自由进入。但如果它们看到任何类似自己的线条，就会保卫家园。)”可知，小丑鱼通过检查入侵者的“标记（白色竖线）”来识别同类。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段对实验对象的描述：“They also added fish from three other species: orange skunk clownfish, which are light orange and have a single white line running from head to tail; Clark’s anemonefish, which are black and yellow with two white upright lines; and saddleback clownfish, black and orange fish that typically have three white upright patches (斑块).(他们还补充了来自其他三个物种的鱼：银背小丑鱼（浅橙色，有一条从头部延伸至尾部的白色条纹）、双带小丑鱼（黑黄相间，带有两条白色竖纹），以及鞍背小丑鱼（黑橙相间，通常有三块白色竖斑）。)”，以及实验中引入的有三条白色竖线的“newcomer”普通小丑鱼可知，所有研究中的鱼类“身体上都有图案”。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers observed the common clownfish coming into the intensest conflict with the fish that have three white upright lines and being the gentlest with those that have a single white line. (研究人员观察到，常见的小丑鱼与有三条白色竖线的鱼发生了最激烈的冲突，而与只有一条白线的鱼则发生了最温和的冲突。)”可推断，小丑鱼能通过识别“线条数量”区分同类，显示出较强的图案识别能力（类似 “基础数学能力”）。故选C。 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。 Irish playwright (剧作家) George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is the most beautiful thing in this world — and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!” ____36____ After all, the young often fail to appreciate the very things the aged have learned to treasure.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何培养纯粹如孩童般的惊奇感。 【36题详解】 根据空前“Irish playwright (剧作家) George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is the most beautiful thing in this world—and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!”(爱尔兰剧作家George Bernard Shaw曾说：“青春是这世间最美好的东西——可惜它却浪费在了孩子身上！”)”和空后“After all, the young often fail to appreciate the very things the aged have learned to treasure.(毕竟，年轻人常常无法珍惜老年人已学会珍视的事物。)”可知，此处空前引用George Bernard Shaw的讽刺性观点，后文提到“年轻人常无法珍惜老年人珍视的东西”，故此处需衔接对前文观点的部分肯定，引出后文转折。故C项“在某些方面，这可能确实如此。”符合，青春是这世间最美好的东西——可惜它却浪费在了孩子身上，在某些方面，这可能确实如此，毕竟年轻人常常无法珍惜老年人已学会珍视的事物。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据本段小标题“Smile(微笑)”可知，本段主要介绍微笑相关的内容，且根据空后“By intentionally choosing to smile no matter what, you are helping yourself feel happier and have a more positive outlook.(通过刻意选择无论发生什么都保持微笑，你能帮助自己感到更快乐，并拥有更积极的看法。)”可知，空后提出让自己感到快乐，故G项“选择微笑能帮助你对有趣或令人兴奋的事物产生纯粹的热情。”符合，说明微笑如何培养积极的态度，与后文“感到更快乐”相呼应。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Be kind(善良)”可知，本段主要强调要“善良”，且根据空前“Don’t be mean with words of encouragement.(不要吝啬鼓励的话语。)”可知，空前提到不要吝啬鼓励的话语，故此处应介绍具体要怎么做，故D项“如果人们做得好，就说出来。”符合，如果人们做得好就说出来，不要吝啬鼓励的话语。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据本段小标题“Be curious(好奇)”可知，本段主要介绍要保持好奇心。且根据空前“Try looking up in the sky and wonder about the clouds, the color of the sky—everything. Try to forget logic when the situation calls for it.(试着仰望天空，思考云朵、天空的颜色——一切事物。在需要时试着抛开逻辑。)”可知，空前提到要大胆地提问，在需要时可以抛开逻辑来提问，故E项“无论问题“听起来是否愚蠢”，都要提问。”符合，进一步强调大胆提问，即使问题听起来可能是愚蠢的，也要提问。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据本段内容“Don’t let your current situation affect how you feel. Yes, it’s good to know your emotions and to let yourself feel sadness or anger. But don’t stop there. Decide to look for the silver lining in every dark cloud.(不要让当前的处境影响你的感受。是的，了解自己的情绪并允许自己感受悲伤或愤怒是好的。但不要止步于此。决定在每片乌云中寻找希望。)”可知，本段主要点名要保持积极心态，在黑暗中寻找希望，故A项“凡是往好处想”符合本段小标题，概括本段内容。故选A项。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I frequently admit that I’m deeply lucky.

We dreamed of growing our own vegetables, but none of us had any gardening experience. One sunny afternoon, while I was thinking about what to do, a sudden knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I hurried to the door, curious about who might be visiting. Standing there was an elderly man in worn, dirty clothes. His face was weathered but kind, and his eyes held stories untold. “Hello,” he said softly. “I noticed your garden. I’ve been gardening for years and would love to help you plant some vegetables if you’d like.” I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should trust this stranger. But his earnest expression convinced me to invite him inside for a chat. As we talked, Mr. Thompson shared stories of his years spent tending gardens. He spoke with passion about the joy of planting seeds and watching them grow. I learned that he had once owned a garden of his own, but after losing his wife, he suffered from loneliness, which touched me, and I decided to accept his offer to help with my garden. The next day, Mr. Thompson arrived, ready to work. My daughter, Ana, who was just seven, greeted him with much enthusiasm (热情). She invited him in for tea and shared the cookies she had baked. Their connection developed immediately, and I watched, touched, as Mr. Thompson’s face lit up at Ana’s innocent chatter. As the weeks passed, Mr. Thompson came to our home daily. With his expert guidance, the empty plot transformed into a vegetable garden. In return for his help, I began baking delicious apple pies. Each afternoon, I would present him with a warm slice, and he would share his stories with my children, filling our home with laughter and warmth. My children grew attached to him, eagerly expecting his visits. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 However, one day, he didn’t come to my house on time to take care of the garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we decided to take care of Mr. Thompson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, one day, he didn’t come to my house on time to take care of the garden. Concern crept in as I saw the garden. Ana kept asking, “Where’s Mr. Thompson?” After several hours, I decided we needed to check on him. When we arrived at his home, we found the door slightly open. I knocked and called out, but there was no response. My heart sank as I feared something might be wrong. Finally, we pushed the door open and found Mr. Thompson resting on the sofa, looking pale and weak. Then we decided to take care of Mr. Thompson. We began visiting him regularly, bringing meals and looking after his well-being. Slowly, he regained his strength, and the bond between us deepened. Eventually, he returned to our home, eager to tend the garden again, and we continued to shower him with love and appreciation. Mr. Thompson was no longer a mere neighbor; he had become a valued member of our family. His presence brought joy to our lives, and we were grateful for the opportunity to have him in our lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者一家搬到新社区，面对空花园一筹莫展时，陌生的汤普森先生主动提出帮忙种菜。他曾因失去妻子而孤独，作者被其打动接受帮助。在汤普森先生的指导下花园逐渐成形，作者以烤苹果派作为回报，孩子们也与他建立了深厚感情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，他没有按时来我家照顾花园。”可知，第一段可描写作者一家看到花园无人打理引发担忧，到决定去他家查看，发现他虚弱地躺在沙发上。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我们决定照顾汤普森先生”可知，第二段可描写作者一家定期看望、照顾他恢复健康，以及他康复后回归花园，进一步深化彼此之间家人般的情感联系 2.续写线索：汤普森先生未按时出现 ——“我们” 担忧并去他家查看 —— 发现他虚弱 ——“我们” 决定照顾他 —— 他逐渐康复 —— 回归花园，感情加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蔓延：creep /spread ②决定：decide /determine ③照顾：tend /look after 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Concern crept in as I saw the garden.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】Finally, we pushed the door open and found Mr. Thompson resting on the sofa, looking pale and weak.（运用了现在分词作状语 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
