Introducing the NDS (Ninja Double Stack) XL Air Fryer. This double air fryer towers above the rest, with 2 vertical stacked drawers (纵向堆叠抽屉) that do not need as much space on your worktop as traditional side-by-side 2-drawer air fryers. Now — you can mix and match 6 cooking functions, cooking times and temperatures across 2 individually-controlled drawers, and have all your food ready at the same time — even in smaller kitchen spaces! Already rated the full five stars by users, the air frying device is 30% slimmer compared to other Air Fryer. It might look small in size, but it can be really useful when it comes to mealtime. It can cook four layers of food — thanks to the two large drawers. As most of the air fryers, it also has six incredible functions to help cook food exactly as you like it — air fry, crisp, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate (脱水)— making it one of the most diverse appliances (电器) in your kitchen. Rally, one five star rater said, “this is perfect if you’re short of worktop space. It replaces my 9-in-1 air fryer and has the same quality.” Rose described it as the “best in the market,” and added, “love absolutely everything about this model. I’m pleased I waited for the double stack as it takes up less space. I’d highly recommend it.” 1. Which of the following is the biggest advantage of NDS XL Air Fryer? A. It’s much cheaper. B. It’s more energy efficient. C. It’s more space-saving. D. It’s more convenient to operate. 2. What can the two drawers of NDS XL Air Fryer do? A. Carry out diverse tasks. B. Change the cooking steps. C. Keep up stable temperature. D. Replace the 9-in-1 air fryer. 3. Why are Rally and Rose mentioned in the last two paragraphs? A. To attract more consumers. B. To list two examples. C. To provide some suggestions. D. To introduce two characters. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了NDS XL Air Fryer(忍者双层空气炸锅)这一厨房电器。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This double air fryer towers above the rest, with 2 vertical stacked drawers (纵向堆叠抽屉) that do not need as much space on your worktop as traditional side-by-side 2-drawer air fryers.(这款双层空气炸锅高于其他产品，有两个纵向堆叠的抽屉，与传统并排放置的双抽屉空气炸锅相比，它在你的操作台上不需要那么多空间)”可知，NDS XL Air Fryer最大的优点是更节省空间。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As most of the air fryers, it also has six incredible functions to help cook food exactly as you like it — air fry, crisp, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate (脱水) — making it one of the most diverse appliances (电器) in your kitchen.(和大多数空气炸锅一样，它也有六个令人难以置信的功能，可以帮助你按照自己喜欢的方式烹饪食物——空气炸、香脆、烘烤、烘焙、加热和脱水——使它成为你厨房里最多样化的电器之一)”可知，NDS XL Air Fryer的两个抽屉可以执行多种任务。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Rally, one five star rater said, ‘this is perfect if you’re short of worktop space. It replaces my 9-in-1 air fryer and has the same quality.’(Rally，一位五星评价者说：“如果你操作台空间不足，这简直是太完美了。它取代了我的9合一空气炸锅，而且质量一样。”)”和最后一段“Rose described it as the ‘best in the market,’ and added, ‘love absolutely everything about this model. I’m pleased I waited for the double stack as it takes up less space. I’d highly recommend it.’(Rose称它为“市场上最好的”，并补充说：“我完全喜欢这个型号的一切。我很高兴我等了双层款，因为它占用的空间更少。我强烈推荐它。”)”可推知，此处提到Rally和Rose两位用户的使用体验，表达出对该款空气炸锅的肯定与喜爱，目的是吸引更多的消费者。故选A项。 B Each morning at 6 o’clock, even on weekends, Kamaljeet Singh, 57, is up and out of the house. He starts by spending three hours helping distribute food to nearly two dozen drop-off locations across Delhi, India, and then checks on the many facilities run by the volunteer organization he leads with his brother, Premjit. The organization, Veerji Ka Dera, was founded in 1989 by their father, Trilokchan Singh. Trilokchan and his helpers began supporting one of India’s most underserved groups: the migrant workers who came to Delhi from rural areas. It started with a free breakfast, and eventually the group was also providing basic first aid for minor, often job-related, injuries. During this time, Trilokchan would begin his days as early as 4 o’clock in the morning, then go to his paid job 5 hours later, and end each day by volunteering in the evenings. After his death, Kamaljeet and Premjit, inspired by their father’s lifetime of service, took over the organization. “We are continuing his legacy of helping the poorest of the poor,” says Premjit, 61, “Our aim is that no one goes hungry and uncared for in Delhi.” Veerji Ka Dera now feeds about 2,500 daily wage workers and homeless people a day, in addition to providing basic medical care for as many as 500 people. The group operates a main building in west Delhi, several rented farms - growing crops such as wheat, mustard, millet and rice - an old-age home and clinics. It even operates an animal shelter housing a few hundred rescued cows and buffalo. It’s all made possible by the roughly 250 families who volunteer their time to cook, drive, nurse, farm and clean. Kamaljeet and his wife, Raminder, juggle their volunteer work with managing their security-camera installation (设备) company, and they get help from their son and daughter-in-law, too. His other adult children, who now live abroad, have volunteered in the past, as have Premjit’s kids. Despite the size and scope of the organization, the brothers claim it causes them no stress. Kamaljeet says spending time with his brother and the volunteers especially - young people- is “the best”. 4. What can we learn about Kamaljeet from Paragraph 1? A. He routinely helps those in need. B. He is fond of getting up early. C. He sets up Veerji Ka Dera. D. He can have a rest on weekends. 5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Trilokchan? A. To comment on his work. B. To compare his work with his sons’. C. To show his influence on his sons. D. To describe his tough living conditions. 6. What does the underlined word “juggle” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Combine. B. Share. C. Connect. D. Balance. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A caring family tradition. B. A worthy organization. C. A mysterious tale. D. A meaningful experience. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了一个值得称赞的组织。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He starts by spending three hours helping distribute food to nearly two dozen drop-off locations across Delhi, India (他首先要花3个小时帮助分发食物到印度德里的近24个投递点)”可知，Kamaljeet每天早上都帮助分发食物，说明他经常帮助有需要的人。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Trilokchan and his helpers began supporting one of India’s most underserved groups: the migrant workers who came to Delhi from rural areas. (Trilokchan和他的助手们开始支持印度最缺乏服务的群体之一：从农村地区来到德里的农民工。)”以及根据第三段“After his death, Kamaljeet and Premjit, inspired by their father’s lifetime of service, took over the organization. (父亲去世后，卡玛吉特和普雷姆吉特受到父亲一生服务的启发，接管了这个组织。)”可知，提到Trilokchan是为了展示他对儿子的影响，因为他的服务精神激励了Kamaljeet和Premjit接管组织。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Kamaljeet and his wife, Raminder, juggle their volunteer work with managing their security-camera installation (设备) company, and they get help from their son and daughter-in-law, too. (卡姆杰特和妻子拉姆辛德要juggle志愿者工作和管理他们的监控摄像头安装公司，他们还得到了儿子和儿媳的帮助。)”可知，他们还得到了儿子和儿媳的帮助，说明卡姆杰特和妻子拉姆辛德要平衡志愿者工作和管理他们的监控摄像头安装公司。故划线词的意思是“平衡”。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The organization, Veerji Ka Dera, was founded in 1989 by their father, Trilokchan Singh. (这个名为Veerji Ka Dera的组织由他们的父亲Trilokchan Singh于1989年创立。)”根据第二段“Trilokchan and his helpers began supporting one of India’s most underserved groups: the migrant workers who came to Delhi from rural areas. It started with a free breakfast, and eventually the group was also providing basic first aid for minor, often job-related, injuries. ( Trilokchan和他的助手们开始支持印度最缺乏服务的群体之一：从农村地区来到德里的农民工。一开始是提供免费早餐，后来该组织还为轻微的、通常与工作有关的伤害提供基本的急救。)”根据最后一段“Despite the size and scope of the organization, the brothers claim it causes them no stress. (尽管这个组织的规模和范围都很大，但兄弟俩声称这并没有给他们带来压力。)”可知，短文主要是关于一个值得称赞的组织。故选B。 C We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 9. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴比伦微农场（BMF）的一些主要优势，包括减少食物运输距离、通过云技术远程监控、自动化系统节约水资源、减少化学污染、以及员工的环保生活方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”可知，巴比伦微型农场（BMF）进一步缩短了从农场到餐桌的距离。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. (此外，还有一个便捷的应用程序，可以实时提供增长数据)”可知，这个便捷的应用程序提供了植物生长的实时数据。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. (BMF员工在日常生活中追求可持续发展。大约一半的人步行或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶和避免一次性塑料来鼓励回收和减少浪费。BMF的一名员工表示：“我们热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学品。”)”可知，BMF员工具有强烈的环保意识。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”、第三段“By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. (通过云连接，对BMF进行远程监控。此外，还有一个方便的应用程序可以实时提供不断增长的数据。由于该系统是自动化的，因此大大减少了种植植物所需的水量。该系统不是给一排排土壤浇水，而是为每株植物提供合适的水量)”以及最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. (BMF员工在日常生活中追求可持续发展。大约一半的人步行或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶和避免一次性塑料来鼓励回收和减少浪费。BMF的一名员工表示：“我们热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学品。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了巴比伦微农场（BMF）的一些主要优势，包括减少食物运输距离、通过云技术远程监控、自动化系统节约水资源、减少化学污染、以及员工的环保生活方式等。故选A。 【点睛】 D Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot’s contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from? Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time? Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot. This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper problem facing the world as it struggles with climate change. Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses. Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation. Indeed, insurance calculators have as big a role to play as activists in the fight against climate change. Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note. 12. The experiment of the two pots shows that ___________. A. instinct sometimes works better than reasoning B. most people prefer predictability to uncertainty C. people are willing to take risks to get a reward D. it is impossible to always make the right decision 13. What’s the functions of insurance? A. It raises people’s awareness of climate change. B. It prevents people from taking risks. C. It motivates people to adapt to risky environment. D. It helps climate refugees to relocate. 14. What’s author’s attitude towards financial aids for home insurance? A. Opposing B. Supportive C. Uncertain D. Ambiguous 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Prevention is better than remedy B. Improving forecast can reduce uncertainty C. Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance D. Speedy action is urgently needed for climate change 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章通过埃尔斯伯格悖论阐述了全球日益变暖导致气候变化的背景下，风险的不确定性如何推高保险价格，以及准确反应风险的保险定价对于适应适应气候变化、规避风险的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot’s contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from? Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time? Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot.(摆在你面前的是两个罐子。每个装有100个球。你会得到第一个罐子内容的清晰描述，里面有50个红色的球和50个黑色的球。负责这项实验的经济学家对第二个守口如瓶，只说有100个球按一定比例分为红色和黑色。然后你可以选择。从锅里挑一个红色的球，你会得到一百万美元。你想从哪个锅里选？现在再试一次，但选择一个黑色的球。这次是哪个罐子？大多数人两次都选择第一个锅，尽管这样的选择意味着红球比第二个罐子多也少。)”可知，在这个实验中，大多数人更愿意从已知比例的罐子中抽取球，在选择时更倾向于可预测的结果；结合第二段“This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty.(这一事实被称为埃尔斯伯格悖论，以丹尼尔·埃尔斯伯格的名字命名，他称这种行为是对模糊性的厌恶。)”可知，两个罐子的试验结果表明大多数人喜欢可预测性，厌恶不确定性。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation.(保险是适应气候变化的一种工具。)”以及“Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. (如果没有保险，那些房屋被野火烧毁或被洪水摧毁的人将失去一切。保险也可以成为纠正措施的动机。更高的保险费用准确地反映了风险，刺激人们更快地适应，无论是通过阻止在危险地区建房，还是鼓励人们离开高火灾风险地区。)”可知，保险可以帮助遭受自然灾害的人们，避免他们失去一切；当保费准确反映相关风险时，就会激励人们尽早适应，可以通过阻止高风险地区的建设或鼓励人们从火灾多发地区搬迁来降低风险。由此可知，保险的作用是促使人们适应有风险的环境。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note.(保险也可以成为纠正措施的动机。更高的保险费用准确地反映了风险，刺激人们更快地适应，无论是通过阻止在危险地区建房，还是鼓励人们离开高火灾风险地区。如果价格是错误的，世界变暖对社会的伤害将比其他情况更大。考虑为洪水平原地区的家庭保险提供财政援助的政客们应该注意到这一点。)”可知，作者认为，当保费准确反映相关风险时，就会激励人们尽早适应，这样可以通过阻止高风险地区的建设或鼓励人们从火灾多发地区搬迁来降低风险。如果保险定价不能准确地考虑风险，社会将在受气温上升影响的世界中承受更大的负担；由此可知，作者对于为家庭保险提供财政援助是持反对态度的，因为这会让人们低估气候变化带来的风险，从而造成更大的损失。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses.(对未来的无知带来了今天的代价：不确定性使风险无法投保，或者至少代价高昂。保险公司对风险的了解越少，他们就需要更多的资金来保护他们的资产负债表免受可能的损失。)”可知，文章通过埃尔斯伯格悖论阐述了全球日益变暖带来的风险与风险的不确定性如何推高保险价格；C选项“Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance(不确定性推高了保险价格)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。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。 Many people seek emergency care for injuries resulting from “moving wrong” during everyday tasks like lifting objects or doing household chores. ___16___ In our inactive lifestyles, we often ignore the importance of moving regularly. The less we move, the more likely we are to move in a way our body is unfamiliar with, thus resulting in injuries. So why not take the following strategies to make the right moves? ___17___ When you reach for something, you push your arm forward. To open a door, you grasp the handle and pull back. By performing bodyweight movements with a good form, you develop a strong foundation for safe and efficient movement in all aspects of life. Train for better balance. Exercises that focus on one side of the body at a time can enhance coordination (协调性) and stability. So include some form of unilateral (单侧的) balance exercises into all your workouts. It helps you better adapt rough ground and sudden changes in direction. ___18___ Include strength training in your workouts. Regular strength training builds more than muscle and increases bone density (密度) and joint stability. ___19___ You can add resistance exercises targeting different muscle groups. Then, you’ll enjoy safe and effective strength development. Strengthen your mind-body connection. ___20___ This helps you stay connected to your body’s experience so that you can focus on the proper movements. Progressive muscle relaxation is a great exercise for developing your mind-body connection. Practice it several times per week. A. So how do wrong moves come about? B. Practice moving in all planes of motion. C. So do strength training two or more days per week D. As a result, you’ll have the lower risk of falls and injuries. E. Consider the movements required to function during daily life. F. While exercising, you focus on your breath and what you’re feeling G. All these movements put unnecessary stress on your muscles and joints. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何保证日常的行为正确，从而避免因“行为不当”而造成的受伤。 【16题详解】 根据空后“In our inactive lifestyles, we often ignore the importance of moving regularly. The less we move, the more likely we are to move in a way our body is unfamiliar with, thus resulting in injuries.(在我们不活跃的生活方式中，我们经常忽视定期运动的重要性，我们运动得越少，我们越可能以身体不熟悉的方式移动，从而导致受伤。)”可知，后文提到了我们在日常生活中经常因为不定期锻炼，以身体不熟悉的方式移动身体，从而导致受伤，故A项“那么，错误的举动是如何产生的呢？”符合语境，本空提出问题，空后回答问题。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据空后“When you reach for something, you push your arm forward. To open a door, you grasp the handle and pull back. By performing bodyweight movements with a good form, you develop a strong foundation for safe and efficient movement in all aspects of life.(当你伸手去拿东西时，你的手臂会先前推。要开门时，你会抓住手柄往后拉。通过以良好的方式进行较重的体力活，你就为生活各个方面的安全高效的运动打下了坚实的基础。)”可知，本段主要介绍了在平时的行为中，应该如何保证动作的正确性，故E项“考虑日常生活中所需的运动”符合本段主旨。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“So include some form of unilateral (单侧的) balance exercises into all your workouts. It helps you better adapt rough ground and sudden changes in direction.(因此在锻炼中加入某种形式的单侧平衡练习。这能帮助你更好的适应崎岖的地面和突然的方向改变。)”可知，D项“因此，你跌倒和受伤的风险就会降低。”是前文的顺义承接，与前文构成因果关系，在锻炼中加入单侧平衡练习，能帮助你更好的适应入崎岖的地面和突然的方向改变，因此你跌倒和受伤的风险就会降低。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Regular strength training builds more than muscle and increases bone density (密度) and joint stability.(定期的力量训练不仅能增加肌肉，还能提高骨密度和关节稳定性。)”可知，空前提到定期的力量训练的好处，故C项“因此每周进行两天或两天以上的力量训练。”符合，与空前构成因果关系，且点明本段的主旨“Include strength training in your workouts.(在你的训练中加入力量训练。)”。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Strengthen your mind-body connection.(加强你的身心联系。)”可知，空前提到了加强身心联系，故F项“锻炼时，专注于你的呼吸和你的感受。”符合，解释说明空前的加强身心联系就是在锻炼时专注你的呼吸和感受。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1967, my husband and I graduated from college with financial challenges.

She found it challenging to express herself and lacked confidence in her abilities. However, her best friend Ada always believed in her and encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone. One day, as Emily sat in her art class, her teacher, Mrs. Anderson, announced an upcoming art competition. The competition showcased the talents of students from various schools in the city. The room buzzed with excitement. Her mind flashed back to her bedroom where impressive art work was displayed on the walls, each piece seemingly more attractive than the last. Emily’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of participating, but her shyness held her back. Self-doubt crept in, whispering that her work wouldn’t measure up to the talent surrounding her. Emily wondered if she had made a mistake by even considering entering. Ada, noticing Emily’s excitement and fear, whispered, “Emily, you should totally enter the competition! Your art is fantastic, and this could be a great opportunity for you to showcase your talent.” Emily hesitated for a moment, contemplating (思忖) Ada’s words. A gentle breeze wafted through the open windows, carrying the distant sounds of laughter and chatter from outside. Emily closed her eyes, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She reminded herself of the countless hours she had spent honing (磨炼) her craft, the late nights and early mornings dedicated to perfecting her technique. She had poured her heart and soul into her art, and this competition was a chance to showcase her passion to a wider audience. With a deep breath, she finally gathered the courage to approach Mrs. Anderson after class. “Mrs. Anderson, I’m interested in participating in the art design competition,” Emily said, her voice slightly trembling. Mrs. Anderson smiled warmly, recognizing Emily’s potential. “That’s wonderful, Emily! I think it’s about time you should share your incredible talent with the world. I’ll provide you with all the guidance and support you need.” 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。 Over the following weeks, Emily dedicated herself to creating her masterpiece. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the competition, Emily nervously displayed her artwork. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Over the following weeks, Emily dedicated herself to creating her masterpiece. She spent countless hours in the art room, experimenting with different techniques and materials. Ada often joined her, providing encouragement and helpful suggestions. As the competition approached, Emily’s confidence grew stronger, and she became more determined to showcase her talent. With Mrs. Anderson’s guidance, Emily completed her artwork, a beautiful painting that captured the essence of nature. With everything fully prepared, she was differently confident for the competition. On the day of the competition, Emily nervously displayed her artwork. The judges and audience members admired her piece, and many complimented her on her skills. Although she didn’t win the top prize, Emily received positive feedback and felt proud of her accomplishment. Her participation in the competition not only boosted her self-esteem but also inspired other shy students to step out of their comfort zones. Emily realized that taking risks and embracing challenges could lead to personal growth and success. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了害羞的女孩 Emily在好友Ada的鼓励下决定参加艺术比赛，经过思考后她鼓起勇气向老师报名。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几周里，Emily全身心投入创作她的杰作。”可知，第一段可描写Emily认真准备比赛作品的过程以及朋友和老师的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“在比赛当天，Emily紧张地展示她的作品。”可知，第二段可描写比赛现场的情况以及Emily的感受和收获。 2.续写线索：准备作品——得到帮助——完成作品——比赛现场——紧张展示——获得认可——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：provide/offer ②完成：complete/finish ③导致：lead to/give rise to 情绪类 ①自信：confident/self-assured ②自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型 1] She spent countless hours in the art room, experimenting with different techniques and materials.（使用现在分词作状语） [高分句型 2] With Mrs. Anderson’s guidance, Emily completed her artwork, a beautiful painting that captured the essence of nature.（使用了介词短语作状语、关系代词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级七校第三次阶段测试英语试题 （考试时长120分钟，满分150分） 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.

Introducing the NDS (Ninja Double Stack) XL Air Fryer. This double air fryer towers above the rest, with 2 vertical stacked drawers (纵向堆叠抽屉) that do not need as much space on your worktop as traditional side-by-side 2-drawer air fryers. Now — you can mix and match 6 cooking functions, cooking times and temperatures across 2 individually-controlled drawers, and have all your food ready at the same time — even in smaller kitchen spaces! Already rated the full five stars by users, the air frying device is 30% slimmer compared to other Air Fryer. It might look small in size, but it can be really useful when it comes to mealtime. It can cook four layers of food — thanks to the two large drawers. As most of the air fryers, it also has six incredible functions to help cook food exactly as you like it — air fry, crisp, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate (脱水)— making it one of the most diverse appliances (电器) in your kitchen. Rally, one five star rater said, “this is perfect if you’re short of worktop space. It replaces my 9-in-1 air fryer and has the same quality.” Rose described it as the “best in the market,” and added, “love absolutely everything about this model. I’m pleased I waited for the double stack as it takes up less space. I’d highly recommend it.” 1. Which of the following is the biggest advantage of NDS XL Air Fryer? A. It’s much cheaper. B. It’s more energy efficient. C. It’s more space-saving. D. It’s more convenient to operate. 2 What can the two drawers of NDS XL Air Fryer do? A. Carry out diverse tasks. B. Change the cooking steps. C. Keep up stable temperature. D. Replace the 9-in-1 air fryer. 3. Why are Rally and Rose mentioned in the last two paragraphs? A. To attract more consumers. B. To list two examples. C To provide some suggestions. D. To introduce two characters. B Each morning at 6 o’clock, even on weekends, Kamaljeet Singh, 57, is up and out of the house. He starts by spending three hours helping distribute food to nearly two dozen drop-off locations across Delhi, India, and then checks on the many facilities run by the volunteer organization he leads with his brother, Premjit. The organization, Veerji Ka Dera, was founded in 1989 by their father, Trilokchan Singh. Trilokchan and his helpers began supporting one of India’s most underserved groups: the migrant workers who came to Delhi from rural areas. It started with a free breakfast, and eventually the group was also providing basic first aid for minor, often job-related, injuries. During this time, Trilokchan would begin his days as early as 4 o’clock in the morning, then go to his paid job 5 hours later, and end each day by volunteering in the evenings. After his death, Kamaljeet and Premjit, inspired by their father’s lifetime of service, took over the organization. “We are continuing his legacy of helping the poorest of the poor,” says Premjit, 61, “Our aim is that no one goes hungry and uncared for in Delhi.” Veerji Ka Dera now feeds about 2,500 daily wage workers and homeless people a day, in addition to providing basic medical care for as many as 500 people. The group operates a main building in west Delhi, several rented farms - growing crops such as wheat, mustard, millet and rice - an old-age home and clinics. It even operates an animal shelter housing a few hundred rescued cows and buffalo. It’s all made possible by the roughly 250 families who volunteer their time to cook, drive, nurse, farm and clean. Kamaljeet and his wife, Raminder, juggle their volunteer work with managing their security-camera installation (设备) company, and they get help from their son and daughter-in-law, too.

C We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 9. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. D Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot’s contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from? Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time? Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot. This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper problem facing the world as it struggles with climate change. Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses. Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation. Indeed, insurance calculators have as big a role to play as activists in the fight against climate change. Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note. 12. The experiment of the two pots shows that ___________. A. instinct sometimes works better than reasoning B. most people prefer predictability to uncertainty C. people are willing to take risks to get a reward D. it is impossible to always make the right decision 13. What’s the functions of insurance? A. It raises people’s awareness of climate change. B. It prevents people from taking risks. C. It motivates people to adapt to risky environment. D. It helps climate refugees to relocate. 14. What’s author’s attitude towards financial aids for home insurance? A. Opposing B. Supportive C. Uncertain D. Ambiguous 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Prevention is better than remedy B. Improving forecast can reduce uncertainty C. Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance D. Speedy action is urgently needed for climate change 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。 Many people seek emergency care for injuries resulting from “moving wrong” during everyday tasks like lifting objects or doing household chores. ___16___ In our inactive lifestyles, we often ignore the importance of moving regularly.

She found it challenging to express herself and lacked confidence in her abilities. However, her best friend Ada always believed in her and encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone. One day, as Emily sat in her art class, her teacher, Mrs. Anderson, announced an upcoming art competition. The competition showcased the talents of students from various schools in the city. The room buzzed with excitement. Her mind flashed back to her bedroom where impressive art work was displayed on the walls, each piece seemingly more attractive than the last. Emily’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of participating, but her shyness held her back. Self-doubt crept in, whispering that her work wouldn’t measure up to the talent surrounding her. Emily wondered if she had made a mistake by even considering entering. Ada, noticing Emily’s excitement and fear, whispered, “Emily, you should totally enter the competition! Your art is fantastic, and this could be a great opportunity for you to showcase your talent.” Emily hesitated for a moment, contemplating (思忖) Ada’s words. A gentle breeze wafted through the open windows, carrying the distant sounds of laughter and chatter from outside. Emily closed her eyes, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She reminded herself of the countless hours she had spent honing (磨炼) her craft, the late nights and early mornings dedicated to perfecting her technique. She had poured her heart and soul into her art, and this competition was a chance to showcase her passion to a wider audience. With a deep breath, she finally gathered the courage to approach Mrs. Anderson after class. “Mrs. Anderson, I’m interested in participating in the art design competition,” Emily said, her voice slightly trembling. Mrs. Anderson smiled warmly, recognizing Emily’s potential. “That’s wonderful, Emily! I think it’s about time you should share your incredible talent with the world. I’ll provide you with all the guidance and support you need.” 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。 Over the following weeks, Emily dedicated herself to creating her masterpiece. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the competition, Emily nervously displayed her artwork. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
