The driver waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs. Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to fade. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. Angels had led us back to safety, and we knew that it was because we had trusted and believed in them. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫在莫斯科旅行，半路下起了暴雨，两人被困在路上，还迷了路。这时一个好心的司机帮助了他们，送他们回到了安全的地方。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，一辆熟悉的雪佛兰汽车停在了我们旁边”可知，第一段可描写他们和司机交流的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们终于明白了我们的意思”可知，第二段可描写司机安全送回了他们，他们十分感激。 2．续写线索：司机出现——语言不通——指认地图——司机护送——作者感谢——感悟 3．词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/seize ②求助于：resort to/turn to ③输入：type/text 情绪类 ①幸运：fortunately/luckily ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw.

The quiz I had planned for today will have to wait until next Tuesday. I didn’t have time to get it ready, so you have a few extra days to study. Now, let’s get to today’s topic. Some of you may not like science, but you should at least respect it because it adds so much to our lives. Recently, I read about a newly created plastic that changes color when it’s stretched. How did the scientists dream up this idea? They could never have done it without observing nature. While studying certain insects, the scientists found that the insects’ shells changed color when looked at from different angles. They immediately thought of ways to use that science to benefit humans. The scientists plan to use this plastic on food packages to tell us when our food goes bad and on our money to make it more difficult for criminals to copy. So when you’re walking to class each day, try to take some time to observe nature around you. You never know when you’ll have a bright idea that can change how we live. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$重庆外国语学校 2024-2025学年度（下）高2027届5月检测 英语试题 (满分150分，120分钟完成) 命题人 高2027届英语备课组 审题人 高2027届英语备课组 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，并将准考证号条形码 粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂 黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、 草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 I卷选择题部分 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂 到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳 选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.What kind of discount can the man get?

Now,fifty percent of the world's cocoa beans come from two countries in West Africa.Cote d'lvoire and Ghana.Scientists believe that both of these countries will experience a 3.8C temperature increase by 2050 due to global warming,endangering the cacao farms in the rainforests.These farms will then have to be shifted to cooler mountainous areas,which are the natural haotat of wildlife.This will lead to some tough decisions:whether to grow chocolate or save wildlife? Unfortunately the crisis of global warming has already had a serious negative impact on cacao farms'harvest,leading to the prices of chocolates skyrocketing.By May 2T",2025,the cocoa futures(in New York had reached $10,895 per ton. Scientists,however,are trying to find a long-term and eco-friendly solution to this problem.They are modifying the species with gene-editing()technology,transforming the seedlings into a species that survives even in drier and warmer climates. According to a report by The Business Insider,in the University of California's new bio-sciences building,tiny green cacao seedlings are lined up in refrigerated greenhouses for a new experiment using CRISPR technology.By controlling plant DNA,this technology is already being used worldwide to make plants tougher and cheaper.In this experiment,scientists will make precise changes to the seedlings'DNA to help cocoa crops survive in warmer and drier climates. 28.What was scientists'recent statement about chocolates? A.They could become an expensive treat in the near future. B.They could calm people down a bit in times of crisis. C They could become unavailable in less than 30 years.

D.The natural habitat of wildlife there would be ruined. 30.What do we learn about the cacao farms in the crisis of global warming? A.They try to seek help from gene-editing scientists. B.They have decided to move to cooler mountainous areas. C.They have suffered a lot due to a decrease in produce. D.They have benefited by raising prices of cocoa beans. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The history of CRISPR technology and its role in global agriculture. B.A CRISPR experiment to enhance cocoa crops'climate tolerance. C.The impact of climate change on traditional cocoa farming methods. D.How refrigerated greenhouses are used to store cacao seedlings worldwide. 0 第5页共10页 Dolphins don't have hands,but studying their "handedness"reveals an odd feature of human perception.Humans and many animals show lateralization(偏侧优s势)，preferring one side over the other in various activities.This is linked to asymmetrical (brain function,with different tasks processed in different hemispheres.For example,language is usually processed in the left hemisphere,while spatial information is processed in the right. When studying lateralization in animals,researchers look at bchaviors like which hand monkeys use to grab objects or which paw dogs use to knock food out of containers.But what about dolphins? They don't have hands or paws.Instead,researchers look at other types of asymmetries,such as sensory biases(which eye they use for different tasks)and turning biases(which direction they prefer to turn). Tums can be tricky to study because different animals move in different ways.For example, humans turn around a vertical axis,while dolphins can turn in three-dimensional space.This led to confusion when researchers tried to determine whether a dolphin was turning "right"or"left."They realized that humans interpret the direction of spinning differently based on the animal's orientation ()To solve this,they developed the Right-Fingered Spin (RiFS)and Left-Fingered Spin (LeFS) coding system,inspired by the "right-hand rule"in physics.This system allows researchers to accurately eede turmng behaviors regardless of the animal's orientation. Using this system,researchers studied 26 dolphins and found that,contrary to previous claims. dolphins do not have a general rightward asymmetry.This shows that scientific progress can come from realizing problems in our methods and finding new ways to look at things. 32.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To explain why dolphins are right-manded. B.To introduce the concept of lateralization in ahimais C.To describe the challenges of studying lateralization in dolphins. D.To discuss the development of a new coding system for studying animal behavior. 33.Why did researchers develop the RiFS/LeFS coding system? A.To prove that dolphins are right-handed. B.To replace the"right-hand rule"in phvsics. C.To show that dolphins have no lateralization. D.To accurately code turning behaviors in different animals 34.What can be inferred about previous studies on dolphin lateralization? A.They were completely accurate B.They used a consistent coding system. C.They may have been misled by inaccurate interpretations. D.They focused only on sensory biases. 35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A The Mystery of Dolphin Handedness. B.Humnan Perception's Unusual Features. C.Understanding Animal Lateralization. D.The Right-Fingered Spin System. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Why an Early Start Is the'Quintessence(精髓/本质)of Life' Research published in the journal Emotion shows that early risers enjoy a more positive 第6页共10页 mood and better emotional regulation than those who wake up late.The benefits of getting up early are clear.36.Here are a few things to keep in mind: This morning started last night. Early rising is really the second part of two habits:37.This probably seems like the easier habit to keep,but for many people it isn't.For many young adults,the problem is what psychologists call"revenge bedtime procrastination”(报复性熬夜).Or they simply find it hard to tum off their mental machine.For this issue,a consistent bedtime routine and reducing screen time-can help to earlier sleep. 38 One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren't required to do so.When there is no punishment for oversleeping,it is all too easy to hit the snooze button and continue sleeping. Setting a fixed morning commitment,like a workout or an early class,increases the "cost"of staying in bed.Even a small task immediately after the alarm can discourage further sleep, gradually transforming a habitual night owl into an early riser. Make early rising divine(神圣的). Many religions use the time before dawn for prayer and worship ()believing the quiet morning brings peace and clear thoughts.39.By rising early,you welcome a new day full of energy and hope.This practice not only helps us start the day with a positive spirit but also prepares us to face challenges with calm and strength. For the early risers among us,this means a before dawn routine will start to become a true part of your life by the end of January;for the late sleepers,it could take until sometime in September.It felt pretty bad to leave our warm bed when it was still dark.40 A.Raise the cost of not getting up. B.Lower the difficulty of getting up. C The first part is going to bed early enough that you get suf伍cient(足够的)sleep. D.Even those who do not believe can enjoy these special hours. E.But it was worth it:the early moming time is now the best time of a day. F.Quality sleep depends on avoiding late-night snacks and exercise. G But what do you need to do to succeed in your resolution and develop this habit? 第三部分语言知识运用（满分55分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Every year,the small town of Willowbrook comes alive during the Christmas season.The streets are decorated with twinkling lights,and the air is filled with the sweet scent of pine and the sound of joyful carols.It is a time of giving and 41,a time when the true spirit of the festival shines through This year,however,the town was hit by an unexpected challenge.A severe snowstorm struck Willowbrook just days before Christmas,leaving many residents42and without power.

As we went on along the road to our hotel,Kvart,the storm clouds covered the entire sky,and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. "Should we grab a taxi?"I yelled,the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. "No,we can make it,"my husband boomed back."It's only a twenty-minute walk." 第9页共10页 As the rain and wind increased,so did our footsteps.The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes.Suddenly,the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us!I thought my heart truly stopped for that moment. We hurried forward,but it wasn't long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel.Where on earth did we take the wrong tum? We had not bought interational phone cards,so we couldn't call for help,and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station.Great,at least we could ask someone there for help!As we approached it,two men were refueling their Chevrolet car.We asked them how to get to Kvart.They didn't reply but managed a friendly nod and smile.We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just leamed.They listened intently,but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused.We had to try our luck back on the street,praying deep down,"Please,send angels to lead us back." 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us. Finally they understood what we meant. 第10页共10页
