Salmon Among fatty fish, salmon has a reputation as being the best for you. On top of the fish’s high omega-3s — short for omega-3 fatty acids, salmon’s pink colour comes from its high levels of astaxanthin, which helps lower cholesterol. Salmon is also a rich source of vitamin B12, which we need to form red blood cells and is a major player in the development and function of brain and nerve cells. Sardines Like salmon, sardines are packed with omega-3s, and they are also an excellent source of calcium, which is an essential part of building strong bones. Sardines also naturally contain vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium and contributes to a good mood. As they are usually bought in tin cans, sardines are relatively inexpensive and make a great option if you are shopping on a tight budget. Cod This white fish is rich in phosphorus, a mineral that helps your body use and store energy from food and works with calcium to build strong bones. Phosphorus can also regulate your heartbeat and promote normal muscle and nerve function. “Cod is great for picky eaters who don’t usually like the taste of fish,” says Annie Tsang, a registered dietitian. Rainbow Trout An 85-gram serving of rainbow trout delivers 81 per cent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Plus, this fish is high in healthy fats but low in mercury. Human industrial activity releases mercury into the air, and it eventually comes back down in rain and is absorbed by fish. However, rainbow trout are low in mercury because they are lower on the food chain and so eat fewer polluted fish themselves. 21. Which is the best choice for a family living on relief? A. Salmon. B. Sardines. C. Cod. D. Rainbow Trout. 22. What is special about Rainbow Trout? A. It contains vitamin D. B. It’s good value for money. C. It is free of pollution. D. It takes in the least mercury. 23. Where is the article most probably taken from? A. A certain website. B. A research paper. C. A recipe book. D. A food advertisement. B What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you? Would it be a good thing? And if you did have one, would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving licence all bare your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly need it to exclude you from being present at a crime scene. The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, essentially sharing your features, those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea originated in German folklore. A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that could replicate every human and animal on the earth. So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There is said to be one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing somewhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom promising you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is supposedly less than one in a trillion! That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a positive. Back in 1999, an innocent American man, indistinguishable from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Overuse of identity information. B. Leakage of identity information. C. Wide application of facial features. D. Misuse of personal information. 25. What does the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Copy. B. Identify. C. Motivate. D. Recognize. 26. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4? A. Proving a theory. B. Contradicting a belief. C. Listing statistics. D. Raising a question. 27. How does the author clarify the negative influence of “doppelganger”? A. By interpreting data. B. By citing criminals. C. By studying possibility. D. By giving examples. C On April 16, 2022, at an indoor sports venue in Daegu, South Korea, Kim Kyu Tae managed to break the world record for the longest paper plane flight with each one of his eight throws. The previous record of 69.14 metres set by Joe Ayoob and John M. Collins had been standing for a decade, but Kim managed to break it on all of his eight measured attempts (71.813 metres being the shortest and 77.134 metres being the farthest). But Kim was just one part of a team who worked hard on designing and building this simple-looking but remarkable paper plane. Kim Kyu Tae is one of the best paper plane throwers in the world, but even his rocket-powered arm can do little to break world records if the design of the plane and the build quality are lacking. That’s where his partners, Chee Yie Jian, who designed the plane, and fellow South Korean, Shin Moo Joon, who was tasked with folding the paper, come in. Together, they became an unstoppable force. Interestingly, Chee, who comes from Malaysia, wasn’t present in Daegu for the record-breaking event, and he has never even met his two teammates in person before. The paper plane building community is apparently global, and they were able to lay out their plans online. While paper planes are considered mere toys by a lot of people, to those who build and fly them competitively, they are complex creations that vary greatly in terms of paper used, geometry and weight. It all depends on the end goal of the designer. For their particular paper plane, the team decided to use CX22 100GSM, which is one of the highest quality 100GSM papers in the world, according to Shin Moo Joon. It was the same type of paper used by Ayoob and Collins for their world record attempt in 2012. Now that they’ve broken the world record, the three paper plane enthusiasts have their sights set on bigger things. They are confident that their creations can fly over 80 metres, provided they can find a more spacious indoor venue, and they are also considering tackling the record for “longest flying paper aircraft (duration)”, set by Takuo Toda of Japan (29.2 seconds). 28. Which has the least impact on paper plane’s performance? A. The player’s arm strength. B. The paper plane’s form. C. The designer’s competence. D. The quality of the paper. 29. What do we know about Chee Yie Jian? A. He and Shin Moo Joon are from the same country. B. He had never met his teammates before the game. C. He didn’t witness his partner setting the record. D. He is better at the art of folding paper planes. 30. Which best describes the process of making paper planes for competitions? A. Pleasing. B. Demanding. C. Competitive. D. Comparative. 31. What contributed to their successfully breaking the record? A. Working as a team. B. Finding an ideal venue. C. Using high-quality paper. D. Setting clear goals. D Hanai, the Hawaiian word for adoption, is also the name of a coffee shop in Phoenix, Arizona, US. It offers valuable hands-on job experience for youth aging out of the foster care system, who lack a permanent family for continued support. 18-year-old Trinity is one such youth. She once felt unsure about her future. “We get a lot of pity, but it doesn’t really help us out. It just makes it worse,” she told CBS News. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which offers support to American families in need, foster care is a temporary living arrangement for children whose parents are unable to care for them and whose situation has come to the attention of child welfare agencies. While in foster care, children may live with relatives or foster families. A key goal of foster care is to make sure that kids are living in stable families. However, around 20,000 young people age out of foster care each year when they turn 18 or 21, depending on the state they are in. These youth are more prone to homelessness, unemployment, crime and early parenthood compared to those who have a permanent home to go to. “It is vital for states and communities to have programmes like this for foster kids because these kids don’t have a support system. They don’t have a safety net,” Ryan Senters, the founder of Hanai, told CBS News. A 4-week programme was held recently at Hanai to introduce kids aged 15 and older to workplace skills. They work part-time at the cafe, learning everything from what to wear to how to deal with difficult customers. “I learned how to do interviews, time management for people, taking orders... communication, customer service... and I feel like that’s really helping,” Trinity told CBS News. Now she can comfortably take orders from customers, make coffee and serve food. She loves her job and hopes to work full-time after graduation. “People think we’re helping them, but honestly, no, they’re helping us,” Senters told CBS News. 32. Why does the author mention Trinity in Paragraph 1? A. To draw attention to the issue. B. To express sympathy for the girl. C. To make a remarkable contrast. D. To prove the popularity of Hanai. 33. What do we know about those in foster care? A. Their families are trying to offer lasting care and help. B. They have no option but to live with foster families. C. They are likely to be trapped in difficult situations. D. The foster care system has done enough to finance them. 34. How does the programme affect Trinity? A. She feels a sense of responsibility. B. She becomes talkative. C. She achieved academic success. D. She gains life skills. 35. What is the best title for the text? A Ryan Senters: a Caring Person B. Hanai: Offering Valuable Help C. Trinity: a Really Lucky Girl D. Foster Care: Lending a Hand 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。 With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. ____36____ And it’s hard to fall back asleep again. However, simple steps before bed can help. Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2022, it’s already old. The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years. ____37____ “When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist. Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good sleep. “It stops producing melatonin in your brain, which, helps relieve the sleepy morning feeling,” Breus says. It also sets a mental time r to produce melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone, that evening. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. ___38___ Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. ____39____ And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom. ___40___ If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning. A. Avoid arguments with your family. B. Handle your troubles before dinner. C. It signals your brain that it is time to be awake. D. It contributes to good health when exposed to light. E. It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age. F. A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep. G. When people cut them down, their average toilet trips decreased. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am extremely fond of riding bikes.

As I stepped back home, my family waited for me. Everyone wanted to tell me something — especially eight-year-old Jeremy. He jumped up and down in order to be heard, and his voice carried above the other children’s, even above my husband Jerry’s. “Poster paper, Mama! I have to have poster paper. We’re having a contest at school.” I put him off, promising we’d talk about it later. As I moved about hurriedly, trying to decide what to do next, Jeremy kept reminding me, “I need the poster paper, Mama.” My third day home I managed to save about fifteen minutes to type an article. A small shadow fell across my paper. I knew who it would be before I looked up. I know he needs poster paper. I need to type. I smiled weakly at Jeremy and kept typing. He watched for a few more minutes, then turned and walked away. I almost didn’t hear his comment. “Contest is over tomorrow, anyway.” Get him that paper—now! I shut off my electric typewriter. “Let’s go get the paper, Jeremy.” He stopped, turned around and looked at me without even smiling or speaking—almost as though he hadn’t heard. “Come on,” I urged, grabbing my purse and the car keys. He still didn’t move. “Do you have something else you have to get, Mama?” “No, just your poster paper.” I headed for the door. Suddenly, a look of delight shot across his face, erasing the disbelief. He moved with amazing speed and dashed out to the car still wearing the Christmas morning expression. At the store, he grabbed my hand and started rapidly telling me about the poster contest. “It’s about fire prevention. The teacher announced it a long time ago, and when I first told you, you said we’d see later. Then you went out of town. The contest ends tomorrow. I’ll have to work hard. What if I win?” He went on with endless enthusiasm as though he’d only asked me one time for the paper. So I just listened. I listened to him as intently as I ever have anyone in my life. We also got the other items and at the cashier’s, Jeremy, who is usually shy when meeting strangers, said, “I’m making a poster. My mama brought me to the store to buy the stuff.” He tried to sound matter-of-fact, but his face gave him away. He worked silently and with great determination on the poster all afternoon. Paragraph 1: The winner of the contest was announced two days later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: And a few weeks later, a large yellow envelope came in the mail addressed to Jeremy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省2024—2025学年高三第一学期期末迎考卷 英　　语 注意事项: 1.本试卷共150分,考试用时120分钟。 2.答题前,考生务必将班级、姓名、学号写在密封线内。 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,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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When will the woman meet her cousin?

To begin with, I’d like to share my childhood memories. Well, my parents had gardens. So I could always pick fresh tomatoes, pull out carrots and taste sweet watermelons. M: Interesting! Many kids don’t know where food comes from. W: That’s why I started the Alice Waters Garden Project. M: Can you tell us something about it? For example, how does it work? W: We design and build a 5-acre garden first. The kids, mainly aged from 7 to 12, work in the garden with their hands in the dirt. Then they take what they’ve grown to the kitchen and spend time cooking and developing recipes. This is the way they learn something about teamwork, creativity, and most importantly where the food they eat every day comes from. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Recently, the Social Security Administration released a list of the most popular US baby names. “Emma” was the most popular name in states on the west coast, while “Liam” was the top choice in the Midwest. But in the southeastern area of the country, parents were more likely to name a boy “William” while “Ava” was a popular name for girls. And “Liam” has been at the top of the list for boys in the past two years. “Emma” was the most popular name for girls for the fifth year in a row. Jonah Berger is a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He found that names starting with K became popular after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005. Americans heard the name of the storm in the news so often that it became familiar and appealing. 第二部分　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 Here are the four best seafood options for your health. Salmon Among fatty fish, salmon has a reputation as being the best for you. On top of the fish’s high omega-3s — short for omega-3 fatty acids, salmon’s pink colour comes from its high levels of astaxanthin, which helps lower cholesterol. Salmon is also a rich source of vitamin B12, which we need to form red blood cells and is a major player in the development and function of brain and nerve cells. Sardines Like salmon, sardines are packed with omega-3s, and they are also an excellent source of calcium, which is an essential part of building strong bones. Sardines also naturally contain vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium and contributes to a good mood. As they are usually bought in tin cans, sardines are relatively inexpensive and make a great option if you are shopping on a tight budget. Cod This white fish is rich in phosphorus, a mineral that helps your body use and store energy from food and works with calcium to build strong bones. Phosphorus can also regulate your heartbeat and promote normal muscle and nerve function. “Cod is great for picky eaters who don’t usually like the taste of fish,” says Annie Tsang, a registered dietitian. Rainbow Trout An 85-gram serving of rainbow trout delivers 81 per cent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Plus, this fish is high in healthy fats but low in mercury. Human industrial activity releases mercury into the air, and it eventually comes back down in rain and is absorbed by fish. However, rainbow trout are low in mercury because they are lower on the food chain and so eat fewer polluted fish themselves. 21. Which is the best choice for a family living on relief? A. Salmon. B. Sardines. C. Cod. D. Rainbow Trout. 22. What is special about Rainbow Trout? A. It contains vitamin D. B. It’s good value for money. C. It is free of pollution. D. It takes in the least mercury. 23. Where is the article most probably taken from? A. A certain website. B. A research paper. C. A recipe book. D. A food advertisement. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四种对健康有益的海鲜选项，包括三文鱼、沙丁鱼、鳕鱼和虹鳟鱼，并分别阐述了它们各自的特点和营养价值。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sardines中“As they are usually bought in tin cans, sardines are relatively inexpensive and make a great option if you are shopping on a tight budget. (由于沙丁鱼通常是用罐头装的，所以价格相对便宜，如果你预算紧张，沙丁鱼是一个不错的选择。)”可知，对于生活救济的家庭来说，沙丁鱼因其价格相对便宜，是一个很好的选择。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rainbow Trout中“However, rainbow trout are low in mercury because they are lower on the food chain and so eat fewer polluted fish themselves. (然而，虹鳟鱼的汞含量很低，因为它们在食物链中的位置较低，所以它们自己吃的受污染的鱼也较少。)”可知，虹鳟鱼的特别之处在于它摄入的汞最少。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一句“Here are the four best seafood options for your health. (以下是四种对健康有益的海鲜选项。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了四种对健康有益的海鲜选项，并分别阐述了它们各自的特点和营养价值。这样的内容更可能出现在一本食谱书中，作为对不同食材的介绍和推荐。故选C项。 B What is the likelihood of you having someone who looks just like you? Would it be a good thing? And if you did have one, would you want to meet them? Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving licence all bare your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly need it to exclude you from being present at a crime scene. The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, essentially sharing your features, those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea originated in German folklore. A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that could replicate every human and animal on the earth. So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There is said to be one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing somewhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom promising you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is supposedly less than one in a trillion! That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a positive. Back in 1999, an innocent American man, indistinguishable from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity. 24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Overuse of identity information. B. Leakage of identity information. C. Wide application of facial features. D. Misuse of personal information. 25. What does the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Copy. B. Identify. C. Motivate. D. Recognize. 26. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4? A. Proving a theory. B. Contradicting a belief. C. Listing statistics. D. Raising a question. 27. How does the author clarify the negative influence of “doppelganger”? A. By interpreting data. B. By citing criminals. C. By studying possibility. D. By giving examples. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讨论了拥有一个长得和你一模一样的人的可能性、这种可能性是否是一件好事以及如果真的遇到了这样的人你会想见他们吗，同时探讨了“分身”这一概念及其可能带来的负面影响。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Consider how often your facial features are used to identify you. Your passport, ID card and driving licence all bare your face. To enter your workplace, you likely need to be recognizable. You may need your face to unlock your smartphone and possibly need it to exclude you from being present at a crime scene. (想想你的面部特征被用来识别你的频率有多高。你的护照、身份证和驾照都印着你的脸。要进入你的工作场所，你可能需要被认出来。你可能需要刷脸来解锁你的智能手机，或者需要它来证明你没有出现在犯罪现场。)”可知，本段主要讲述了面部特征在日常生活中的广泛应用，包括身份验证、进入工作场所、解锁手机等。因此，本段的主旨大意是面部特征的广泛应用。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“The word “doppelganger” refers to a person who looks the same as you, essentially sharing your features, those that you thought were unique to you and your identity. Not an identical twin, as a doppelganger has no relation to you. The idea originated in German folklore. A doppelganger was said to be a spirit-double that could replicate every human and animal on the earth. (“分身”这个词指的是一个和你长得一模一样的人，本质上和你共享特征，那些你认为只属于你和你的身份的特征。不是同卵双胞胎，因为分身和你没有任何关系。这个想法起源于德国民间传说。据说分身是一个灵魂双胞胎，可以replicate地球上的每一个人和动物。)”可知，分身被描述为一个可以复制地球上每一个人和动物的灵魂双胞胎，因此replicate的意思是“复制”。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“So, let’s get real. What are the chances of you having one in the first place? There is said to be one in 135 chance of an absolute dead ringer for you existing somewhere in the world, so the chances are pretty low, despite folk wisdom promising you otherwise. And the chances of meeting? The mathematical certainty of finding this particular person is supposedly less than one in a trillion! (所以，让我们现实一点。你首先有一个分身的可能性有多大？据说世界上有一个和你长得一模一样的人的几率是135分之一，所以尽管民间智慧告诉你其他情况，但这种可能性相当低。那么见面的机会呢？找到这个特定人的数学确定性据说不到万亿分之一！)”可知，作者在第四段中通过提供统计数据来反驳人们普遍认为拥有一个分身的可能性很高的看法，即与民间智慧相矛盾。因此，作者在这一段中的意图是反驳一种信念。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“That said, these statistics may be a good thing. Historically, having a double hasn’t always been a positive. Back in 1999, an innocent American man, indistinguishable from the real criminal, was sent to prison for robbery, where he stayed for 19 years. In the end, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. In a different case, a woman in New York was accused of trying to poison her doppelganger with deadly cheesecake so that she could steal her identity. (话虽如此，这些统计数据可能是一件好事。从历史上看，拥有一个分身并不总是积极的。早在1999年，一名无辜的美国男子因与真正的罪犯无法区分而被判入狱抢劫，他在那里待了19年。最后，事实证明这是一起身份误认案件。在另一个案例中，纽约的一名妇女被指控试图用致命的芝士蛋糕毒死她的分身，以便窃取她的身份。)”可知，作者通过给出两个具体的例子来澄清“分身”可能带来的负面影响，包括身份误认和身份盗窃。因此，作者通过举例子的方式来阐述“分身”的负面影响。故选D项。 C On April 16, 2022, at an indoor sports venue in Daegu, South Korea, Kim Kyu Tae managed to break the world record for the longest paper plane flight with each one of his eight throws. The previous record of 69.14 metres set by Joe Ayoob and John M. Collins had been standing for a decade, but Kim managed to break it on all of his eight measured attempts (71.813 metres being the shortest and 77.134 metres being the farthest). But Kim was just one part of a team who worked hard on designing and building this simple-looking but remarkable paper plane. Kim Kyu Tae is one of the best paper plane throwers in the world, but even his rocket-powered arm can do little to break world records if the design of the plane and the build quality are lacking. That’s where his partners, Chee Yie Jian, who designed the plane, and fellow South Korean, Shin Moo Joon, who was tasked with folding the paper, come in. Together, they became an unstoppable force. Interestingly, Chee, who comes from Malaysia, wasn’t present in Daegu for the record-breaking event, and he has never even met his two teammates in person before. The paper plane building community is apparently global, and they were able to lay out their plans online. While paper planes are considered mere toys by a lot of people, to those who build and fly them competitively, they are complex creations that vary greatly in terms of paper used, geometry and weight. It all depends on the end goal of the designer. For their particular paper plane, the team decided to use CX22 100GSM, which is one of the highest quality 100GSM papers in the world, according to Shin Moo Joon. It was the same type of paper used by Ayoob and Collins for their world record attempt in 2012. Now that they’ve broken the world record, the three paper plane enthusiasts have their sights set on bigger things. They are confident that their creations can fly over 80 metres, provided they can find a more spacious indoor venue, and they are also considering tackling the record for “longest flying paper aircraft (duration)”, set by Takuo Toda of Japan (29.2 seconds). 28. Which has the least impact on paper plane’s performance? A. The player’s arm strength. B. The paper plane’s form. C. The designer’s competence. D. The quality of the paper. 29. What do we know about Chee Yie Jian? A. He and Shin Moo Joon are from the same country. B. He had never met his teammates before the game. C. He didn’t witness his partner setting the record. D. He is better at the art of folding paper planes. 30. Which best describes the process of making paper planes for competitions? A. Pleasing. B. Demanding. C. Competitive. D. Comparative. 31. What contributed to their successfully breaking the record? A. Working as a team. B. Finding an ideal venue. C. Using high-quality paper. D. Setting clear goals. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了Kim Kyu Tae及其团队在2022年4月16日于韩国大邱打破纸飞机飞行距离世界纪录的事件，并介绍了团队成员、纸飞机设计制作过程以及他们未来的目标。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Kim Kyu Tae is one of the best paper plane throwers in the world, but even his rocket-powered arm can do little to break world records if the design of the plane and the build quality are lacking. (Kim Kyu Tae是世界上最好的纸飞机投掷者之一，但如果飞机的设计和制作质量不佳，即使他拥有火箭般强劲的手臂，也很难打破世界纪录。)”可知，纸飞机的性能主要取决于飞机的设计、制作质量以及纸张的质量，而投掷者的手臂力量虽然重要，但相比之下影响较小。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Interestingly, Chee, who comes from Malaysia, wasn’t present in Daegu for the record-breaking event, and he has never even met his two teammates in person before. (有趣的是，来自马来西亚的Chee并没有出席在大邱举行的破纪录活动，而且他以前从未见过他的两位队友。)”可知，Chee Yie Jian并没有亲眼见证他的搭档创造纪录。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While paper planes are considered mere toys by a lot of people, to those who build and fly them competitively, they are complex creations that vary greatly in terms of paper used, geometry and weight. (虽然很多人认为纸飞机只是玩具，但对于那些有竞争力地制作和飞行纸飞机人来说，它们是复杂的创造物，在纸张使用、几何形状和重量方面都有很大的不同。)”可推知，制作用于比赛的纸飞机是一个要求很高的过程。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Kim Kyu Tae is one of the best paper plane throwers in the world, but even his rocket-powered arm can do little to break world records if the design of the plane and the build quality are lacking. That’s where his partners, Chee Yie Jian, who designed the plane, and fellow South Korean, Shin Moo Joon, who was tasked with folding the paper, come in. Together, they became an unstoppable force. (Kim Kyu Tae是世界上最好的纸飞机投掷者之一，但如果飞机的设计和制作质量不佳，即使他拥有火箭般强劲的手臂，也很难打破世界纪录。这时，他的合作伙伴就派上用场了，设计飞机的Chee Yie Jian和负责折纸的韩国同胞Shin Moo Joon。他们一起成为了一股不可阻挡的力量。)”可知，他们成功打破纪录的关键在于团队合作。故选A项。 D Hanai, the Hawaiian word for adoption, is also the name of a coffee shop in Phoenix, Arizona, US. It offers valuable hands-on job experience for youth aging out of the foster care system, who lack a permanent family for continued support. 18-year-old Trinity is one such youth. She once felt unsure about her future. “We get a lot of pity, but it doesn’t really help us out. It just makes it worse,” she told CBS News. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which offers support to American families in need, foster care is a temporary living arrangement for children whose parents are unable to care for them and whose situation has come to the attention of child welfare agencies. While in foster care, children may live with relatives or foster families. A key goal of foster care is to make sure that kids are living in stable families. However, around 20,000 young people age out of foster care each year when they turn 18 or 21, depending on the state they are in. These youth are more prone to homelessness, unemployment, crime and early parenthood compared to those who have a permanent home to go to. “It is vital for states and communities to have programmes like this for foster kids because these kids don’t have a support system. They don’t have a safety net,” Ryan Senters, the founder of Hanai, told CBS News. A 4-week programme was held recently at Hanai to introduce kids aged 15 and older to workplace skills. They work part-time at the cafe, learning everything from what to wear to how to deal with difficult customers. “I learned how to do interviews, time management for people, taking orders... communication, customer service... and I feel like that’s really helping,” Trinity told CBS News. Now she can comfortably take orders from customers, make coffee and serve food. She loves her job and hopes to work full-time after graduation. “People think we’re helping them, but honestly, no, they’re helping us,” Senters told CBS News. 32. Why does the author mention Trinity in Paragraph 1? A. To draw attention to the issue. B. To express sympathy for the girl. C. To make a remarkable contrast. D. To prove the popularity of Hanai. 33. What do we know about those in foster care? A. Their families are trying to offer lasting care and help. B. They have no option but to live with foster families. C. They are likely to be trapped in difficult situations. D. The foster care system has done enough to finance them. 34. How does the programme affect Trinity? A. She feels a sense of responsibility. B. She becomes talkative. C. She achieved academic success. D. She gains life skills. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Ryan Senters: a Caring Person B. Hanai: Offering Valuable Help C. Trinity: a Really Lucky Girl D. Foster Care: Lending a Hand 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了位于美国亚利桑那州凤凰城的一家名为Hanai的咖啡店，它为从寄养系统中走出来的年轻人提供宝贵的工作经验，帮助他们更好地融入社会。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Hanai, the Hawaiian word for adoption, is also the name of a coffee shop in Phoenix, Arizona, US. It offers valuable hands-on job experience for youth aging out of the foster care system, who lack a permanent family for continued support. 18-year-old Trinity is one such youth. She once felt unsure about her future. (Hanai在夏威夷语中是收养的意思，也是美国亚利桑那州凤凰城一家咖啡店的名字。它为那些从寄养系统中走出来的年轻人提供了宝贵的实际工作经验，这些年轻人缺乏一个永久家庭来给予他们持续的支持。18岁的Trinity就是这样一个年轻人。她曾经对自己的未来感到不确定。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Trinity是为了引出从寄养系统中走出来的年轻人缺乏支持，对未来感到不确定的问题，从而引起读者对这一问题的关注。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, around 20,000 young people age out of foster care each year when they turn 18 or 21, depending on the state they are in. These youth are more prone to homelessness, unemployment, crime and early parenthood compared to those who have a permanent home to go to. (然而，每年约有2万名年轻人在18岁或21岁时（取决于他们所在的州）从寄养系统中走出来。与那些有永久住所的年轻人相比，这些年轻人更容易陷入无家可归、失业、犯罪和早育的困境。)”可知，那些在寄养系统中的年轻人很可能陷入困境。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 4-week programme was held recently at Hanai to introduce kids aged 15 and older to workplace skills. They work part-time at the cafe, learning everything from what to wear to how to deal with difficult customers. “I learned how to do interviews, time management for people, taking orders... communication, customer service... and I feel like that’s really helping,” Trinity told CBS News. (最近，Hanai举办了一个为期4周的项目，向15岁及以上的孩子介绍职场技能。他们在咖啡馆兼职，学习从穿什么到如何应对难缠的顾客等一切知识。“我学会了如何面试、如何管理时间、如何接单……沟通、客户服务……我觉得这真的很有帮助，”Trinity告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。)”可知，通过这个项目，Trinity学会了职场技能，包括面试、时间管理、接单、沟通和客户服务等。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了位于美国亚利桑那州凤凰城的一家名为Hanai的咖啡店，它为从寄养系统中走出来的年轻人提供宝贵的工作经验，帮助他们更好地融入社会，B项“Hanai: Offering Valuable Help (Hanai：提供宝贵的帮助)”符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选B项。 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。 With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. ____36____ And it’s hard to fall back asleep again. However, simple steps before bed can help. Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2022, it’s already old. The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years. ____37____ “When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist. Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good sleep. “It stops producing melatonin in your brain, which, helps relieve the sleepy morning feeling,” Breus says. It also sets a mental time r to produce melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone, that evening. Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. ___38___ Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. ____39____ And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom. ___40___ If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning. A. Avoid arguments with your family. B. Handle your troubles before dinner. C. It signals your brain that it is time to be awake. D. It contributes to good health when exposed to light. E. It’s normal to wake up at night, especially as you age. F. A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep. G. When people cut them down, their average toilet trips decreased. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. C 39. G 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。主要说明了当代社会，很多人都出现了睡眠质量问题，本文提出了几条建议，以帮助读者提高睡眠质量。 【36题详解】 根据上文“With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep.(随着世界上发生的一切，难怪我们中的许多人都在努力入睡)”描述了现代社会普遍存在睡眠质量问题，后文“And it’s hard to fall back asleep again.(而且很难再次入睡)”描述很难再次入睡，可知本句主要说明夜晚入睡的问题，故E选项“随着年龄增长，半夜醒来很正常”，在此处能起到承上启下的作用。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years.(美国国家睡眠基金会建议每一到两年更换一次枕头)”提到需要每 1-2 年更换枕头，下文““When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.(“当你的大脑发出疼痛信号时，它不能发出睡眠信号，”临床心理学家和睡眠专家Michael J Breus博士说)”继续谈论疼痛带来的影响。F 选项中的代词 “one”指代上文的 pillow，进一步解释原因：用过很久的枕头可能导致颈部疼痛和失眠。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据本段首句“Get an hour of sunlight each day.(每天享受一小时的阳光)”可知，本段建议要接受足够的阳光。C选项中的“It” 指代上文提到的接受阳光直射和户外休息的行为。这种行为是为了提醒大脑白天保持清醒。C选项“它告诉你的大脑是时候清醒了”符合语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks.(睡前不要吃咸的零食。在日本的一项研究中，研究人员对321名患有高盐饮食和睡眠问题的患者进行了为期12周的跟踪调查)”以及后文“And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.(而那些摄入更多盐的人更频繁地醒来去洗手间)”可知，指出减少高盐饮食后，起夜次数会减少，与下文 “摄入高盐的更频繁去卫生间”的论述相呼应。G选项“当人们减少摄入时，他们的平均上厕所次数减少了”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据后文“If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.(如果你需要向你的家人抱怨，不要等到晚上。如果你早点开始，艰难的讨论就不太可能打扰你的睡眠。争吵会激活你的交感神经系统，从而扰乱睡眠。一些研究甚至表明，带着怒气上床睡觉可能会让你第二天早上脾气暴躁)”可知，如果需要向家人抱怨，不要拖到晚上。睡前的争论对睡眠有影响，甚至影响第二天的心情。故B选项“本段的建议应该是在晚饭前处理好麻烦”符合语境。故选B。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am extremely fond of riding bikes.

It was so named because of ____57____ (it) width. In the early Qing Dynasty it served as the boundary between the households of two eminent families. To the south was the Zhang family and to the north the Wu family. Both ____58____ (have) male members in high positions within the court of Emperor Kangxi or in other regions around the country. But the two ____59____ (family) quarrelled. The source of their dispute was the boundary between their two properties ____60____ which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line. After trying, and failing, ____61____ (appeal) to a regional official for mediation, the Zhangs wrote to Zhang Ying, their most prominent family member and a trusted top official in the emperor’s court. His response, ____62____ is still celebrated in the form of a poem, did not provide the support for which his family had hoped. Instead, he called for his kinfolk to step back 1 metre from the boundary — a suggestion that so moved the disputing parties that both did ____63____ (exact) that. Thus the alley was born.  The alley has often been cited in ____64____ (connect) with thoughts on tolerance, morality, social order and the qualities that define a good official. To ordinary folk, the story is about _____65_____ to get along with other people. 【答案】56 drawn 57. its 58. had 59. families 60. and 61. to appeal 62. which 63. exactly 64. connection 65. how 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了柳枝巷的历史由来以及它所蕴含的关于宽容、道德、社会秩序以及优秀官员品质的思考。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：节假日期间，柳枝巷每天都会迎来成千上万的游客 —— 他们被柳枝巷的创建故事以及从中可以学到的经验教训所吸引。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词fills，所以draw需用非谓语动词形式，visitors和draw为逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词形式作定语。故填drawn。 【57题详解】 考查代词。句意：它之所以得名，是因为它的宽度。修饰名词width需用it的形容词性物主代词。故填its。 【58题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：两家都有男性成员在康熙皇帝的朝廷或全国其他地区担任要职。根据空前的“In the early Qing Dynasty”及空后的“within the court of Emperor Kangxi”可知，此处陈述过去发生的事情，使用一般过去时。故填had。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：但两家人发生了争执。family为可数名词，前面有two修饰，应用复数形式。故填families。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：他们争论的焦点是两家房产之间的界限，以及哪家有权在分界线上建墙。“the boundary between their two properties”和“which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line”为并列关系，需用连词and连接。故填and。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在向一名地区官员寻求调解失败后，张家写信给张英，张英是他们家族中最杰出的人物，也是皇帝朝廷中值得信赖的高级官员。try to do sth.和为固定搭配，表示“尝试做某事”，所以空处需用动词不定式形式。故填to appeal。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他回应以诗歌的形式流传至今，但并没有为他的家人提供他们所期望的支持。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词response，指物，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：相反，他呼吁他的族人从边界后退1米 —— 这个建议让争执双方深受感动，双方都照做了。修饰动词did需用exact的副词形式，作状语。故填exactly。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：这条小巷经常被引用，与宽容、道德、社会秩序以及定义好官员的品质等思想联系在一起。此处为名词作宾语，connect的名词为connection，意为“联系，关系”，in connection with为固定短语，意为“与……有关”。故填connection。 【65题详解】 考查疑问词。句意：对普通人来说，这个故事讲的是如何与他人相处。此处为“疑问词 + 不定式”结构，作介词about的宾语，结合句意，此处表示方式，所以此处为how to get along with other people意为“如何与他人相处”，符合语境。故填how。 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假如你是李华,上周末你们班在苏州进行了为期两天的美丽乡村体验活动。请给你的英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次体验,内容包括: 1. 体验内容； 2. 你的感想。 注意: 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 Dear Chris, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you have similar experiences?

As I stepped back home, my family waited for me. Everyone wanted to tell me something — especially eight-year-old Jeremy. He jumped up and down in order to be heard, and his voice carried above the other children’s, even above my husband Jerry’s. “Poster paper, Mama! I have to have poster paper. We’re having a contest at school.” I put him off, promising we’d talk about it later. As I moved about hurriedly, trying to decide what to do next, Jeremy kept reminding me, “I need the poster paper, Mama.” My third day home I managed to save about fifteen minutes to type an article. A small shadow fell across my paper. I knew who it would be before I looked up. I know he needs poster paper. I need to type. I smiled weakly at Jeremy and kept typing. He watched for a few more minutes, then turned and walked away. I almost didn’t hear his comment. “Contest is over tomorrow, anyway.” Get him that paper—now! I shut off my electric typewriter. “Let’s go get the paper, Jeremy.” He stopped, turned around and looked at me without even smiling or speaking—almost as though he hadn’t heard. “Come on,” I urged, grabbing my purse and the car keys. He still didn’t move. “Do you have something else you have to get, Mama?” “No, just your poster paper.” I headed for the door. Suddenly, a look of delight shot across his face, erasing the disbelief. He moved with amazing speed and dashed out to the car still wearing the Christmas morning expression. At the store, he grabbed my hand and started rapidly telling me about the poster contest. “It’s about fire prevention. The teacher announced it a long time ago, and when I first told you, you said we’d see later. Then you went out of town. The contest ends tomorrow. I’ll have to work hard. What if I win?” He went on with endless enthusiasm as though he’d only asked me one time for the paper. So I just listened. I listened to him as intently as I ever have anyone in my life. We also got the other items and at the cashier’s, Jeremy, who is usually shy when meeting strangers, said, “I’m making a poster. My mama brought me to the store to buy the stuff.” He tried to sound matter-of-fact, but his face gave him away. He worked silently and with great determination on the poster all afternoon. Paragraph 1: The winner of the contest was announced two days later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: And a few weeks later, a large yellow envelope came in the mail addressed to Jeremy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The winner of the contest was announced two days later. Much to my delight, Jeremy won the first prize and his poster would be exhibited on the organizer’s official website. Besides that, he was also told that the Certificate of Award would be delivered soon and the story behind the contest should be shared on their website after the certificate was received. Jeremy’s face was lit up with excitement and he wrote his story about the contest up late at night. There was one sentence that jumped out at me: “And then my Mama stopped typing and listened to me and took me to the store.”  Paragraph 2: And a few weeks later, a large yellow envelope came in the mail addressed to Jeremy. His hands trembled with eagerness as he opened the letter, which said, “Congratulations, Jeremy! Your poster for Fire Prevention gives a significant warning to our citizens. Please share your story in two days.” After reading it, Jeremy, overwhelmed with the thrill, sang and dance, laughing aloud. I was glad I had made such a timely decision to listen to him that I didn’t spoil his enthusiasm. I framed his certificate as a constant reminder of what a big difference listening could make. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者和儿子杰里米的故事为线索，讲述作者参加作家会议回家后，杰里米多次请求购买海报纸参加学校防火比赛，作者起初因忙碌拖延，最终意识到重要性并带他购买。杰里米认真制作海报，之后比赛结果公布，他获得一等奖，几周后还收到了要求分享故事的信件，作者将他的奖状装裱起来，以此提醒自己倾听的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛的获胜者在两天后公布了。”可知，第一段可描写两天后比赛结果公布，杰里米获得一等奖，他的海报将在主办方官网展出，还得知会收到获奖证书，且需在官网分享比赛背后的故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，邮件里来了一个寄给杰里米的黄色大信封。” 可知，第二段可描写打开信封后里面有什么，以及接下来杰里米的感受以及接下来的行动。 2. 续写线索：比赛结果公布——杰里米获一等奖——将在官网展出并分享故事——杰里米连夜写故事——收到黄色信封——信中祝贺并请分享故事——杰里米激动 ——作者装裱证书提醒自己倾听的重要性 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①照亮：lit up/brighten up/shine with ②颤抖：trembled /shiver/shake ③装裱：framed /mount 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement /thrill/excitedly ②高兴：glad /delighted/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] There was one sentence that jumped out at me: “And then my Mama stopped typing and listened to me and took me to the store.”（运用了that引导定语从句修饰先行词sentence） [高分句型2] His hands trembled with eagerness as he opened the letter, which said, “Congratulations, Jeremy!
