These are Britain’s best country inns (旅馆) for you to choose from. Ship Inn, Fife The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar. The Star, Yorksbire For a pleasant winter break, the only thing better than a country inn is a thatched (茅草屋顶的) country inn and The Star is a rare and picture-perfect example. The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood. The food in the restaurant is a selection of what is typically served in local pubs. You could even join in a wrestling match and the pub’s owner is captain of the local wrestling club. Acorn Inn, Dorset Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires. There’s a wood-beamed (木梁) bar with an excellent restaurant, celebrated for its locally sourced produce. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham If you love the idea of staying at an inn but still want a touch of luxury, book a room at the Lord Crewe Arms. Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland in the beautiful landscape of the North Pennine hills, the inn has a history dating back to 1165. Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too. 21. What kind of holiday makers may favor Ship Inn, Fife? A. Sports lovers. B. Movie fans. C. Novel readers. D. Beach goers. 22. Which inn has kept its style for several hundred years? A. The Star, Yorkshire B. Acorn Inn, Dorset C. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham D. Ship Inn, Fife 23. What do the four inns have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They bear grass roofs. C. Their rooms feature wood. D. They offer the same menu. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国四处最好的乡村旅馆。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar.(风景如画的海岸线沿着东纽克的法夫是这个友好的水边客栈的家，其欢快的酒吧和六间木制卧室有一个新鲜的海岸的感觉。白天你可以探索沿海岸排列的迷人渔村；到了晚上，就在轮船旅馆酒吧的一张扶手椅上坐下)”可知，海滩游客会喜欢Ship Inn，Fife。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires.(多塞特郡的橡果客栈是一家16世纪的马车客栈，托马斯·哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》中就有它的名字“母猪和橡果”，作者会发现这家客栈今天几乎没有什么变化，木地板和熊熊燃烧的炉火)”可知，Acorn Inn，Dorset几百年来一直保持着自己的风格。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel.(风景如画的海岸线沿着东纽克的法夫是这个友好的水边客栈的家，其欢快的酒吧和六间木制卧室有一个新鲜的海岸的感觉)”；第三段“The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood.(客人可以住在舒适的房间设计的乡村风格，自然石材和木材)”；倒数第二段“Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires.(多塞特郡的橡果客栈是一家16世纪的马车客栈，托马斯·哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》中就有它的名字“母猪和橡果”，作者会发现这家客栈今天几乎没有什么变化，木地板和熊熊燃烧的炉火)”以及最后一段“Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too.(石头地板和木梁给了它足够的温暖和个性，房间里有豪华的床，可以躺进去，还有一家备受好评的餐厅)”可知，这四家旅馆的共同之处是房间以木材为特色。故选C。 B Eilish Fisher’s first words were a quote from Henry David Thoreau’s famous nature poem Walden, which hung on a print in the farmhouse where she grew up. The themes of Thoreau’s poem match Fisher’s twin interests in nature and verse (韵文). With the release of her first novel, Fia and the Last Snow Deer, a book for younger readers with a poetic quality that will appeal to both adults and children, these two passions are beautifully shown. Growing up on the farm in rural Vermont, Fisher lived with all kinds of animals. Before she could read, her parents used to read to her poems by Mary Oliver and WB Yeats. Fisher herself was educated through the Steiner system. She studied stories from Homer and the Greek mythology (神话), transforming what she learned into home-made textbooks that she drew and sewed, which were presented to her classmates at the end of every school year, as a Steiner tradition. She took a master’s and then a doctor’s degree in medieval (中世纪的) Irish poetry, but then she pivoted completely. “After spending years in academia, I missed animals and that connection that I had with them since childhood. I suppose I had confidence to just follow my heart, not to be afraid to take risks and try new things.” she said. She is based now in the Wicklow wilds of the Glenmalure Valley. The intention to write for children was stimulated by a wander Fisher took one winter morning in the remote hills around Glenmalure. “The calm environment reminds me of what I had read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland. I decided to write about human-deer relationship.” Initially writing in prose (散文), she chose to turn it into a verse novel, which posed a particular challenge for the writer. With an illustrator, the book Fia and the Last Snow Deer became visually unique. It won the award for children’s book of the year at the Irish Book Awards. 24. What’s a characteristic of Fia and the Last Snow Deer? A. It copies Walden in content. B. It combines nature and verse. C. It focuses on Irish mythology. D. It describes Fisher’s childhood. 25. What’s the Steiner tradition? A. Handing in a final paper. B. Sharing strategies on writing. C. Giving presentations on poems. D. Making stories into handmade books. 26. What do the underlined words “she pivoted completely” in paragraph 4 mean? A. She stayed in academia. B. She kept loving animals. C. She changed her career path. D. She turned to ancient poetry. 27. What led Fisher to write the awarded book? A. The inspiration during a walk. B. A book on human-deer relationship. C. The passion for poetry writing. D. A historical discovery about reindeer. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Eilish Fisher的成长经历、教育背景和创作儿童小说的动机， 以及她的小说Fia and the Last Snow Deer的获奖情况。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Eilish Fisher’s first words were a quote from Henry David Thoreau’s famous nature poem Walden, which hung on a print in the farmhouse where she grew up. The themes of Thoreau’s poem match Fisher’s twin interests in nature and verse (韵文). With the release of her first novel, Fia and the Last Snow Deer, a book for younger readers with a poetic quality that will appeal to both adults and children, these two passions are beautifully shown.(艾利什·费雪的第一句话是引用亨利·大卫·梭罗著名的自然诗《瓦尔登湖》，这首诗挂在她长大的农舍的一幅版画上。梭罗诗歌的主题与费雪对自然和诗歌的双重兴趣相吻合。随着她的第一部小说Fia and the Last Snow Deer的出版，这两种激情被完美地展现了出来。这本书面向年轻读者，具有诗意的品质，既能吸引成人，也能吸引儿童)”可知，Fia and the Last Snow Deer）的特点是结合了自然和诗歌。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Fisher herself was educated through the Steiner system. She studied stories from Homer and the Greek mythology (神话), transforming what she learned into home-made textbooks that she drew and sewed, which were presented to her classmates at the end of every school year, as a Steiner tradition.(费雪本人就是通过斯坦纳体系接受教育的。她学习荷马和希腊神话中的故事，并将所学转化为自己绘制和缝制的课本，作为施泰纳的传统，在每学年结束时送给同学们)”可知，斯坦纳的传统是将故事制作成手工书。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词语后文““After spending years in academia, I missed animals and that connection that I had with them since childhood. I suppose I had confidence to just follow my heart, not to be afraid to take risks and try new things.” she said. She is based now in the Wicklow wilds of the Glenmalure Valley.(“在学术界呆了几年之后，我想念动物，想念我从小和它们之间的联系。我想我有信心跟随自己的心，不害怕冒险和尝试新事物。她说。她现在住在格兰玛卢河谷的威克洛荒野)”可知，Fisher改变了自己的职业道路，不再专注于学术研究。故划线部分意思是“她改变了职业道路”。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The intention to write for children was stimulated by a wander Fisher took one winter morning in the remote hills around Glenmalure. “The calm environment reminds me of what I had read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland. I decided to write about human-deer relationship.”(一个冬天的早晨，费舍尔在格伦玛卢周围的偏远山区漫步，激发了他为儿童写作的念头。“平静的环境让我想起了我读到的关于在爱尔兰发现驯鹿骨头的报道。我决定写人与鹿的关系。”)”可知，散步时的灵感促使费雪写了这本获奖的书。故选A。 C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 28. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 29. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 30. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知，矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作；结合常识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(Eschewing化肥和电动工具，它基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知，要像大自然那样进行园艺种植，让大自然自身承接更多的工作，就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”，与“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后，当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知，引入矩阵种植的想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf的花园推广了这种风格，在种植组合中增添了艺术气息，同时玩转色彩和形态，四季都有看点，还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知，Piet Oudolf的花园有艺术气息，很有品味。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具，基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少，花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段：化肥、分株、定期浇水。与传统花园地块相比，它们增加了碳吸收，减少了雨水径流，并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样性)”可知，文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法，它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态，未来园艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然的)”能概括文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray- brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock —— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood. In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long- forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes. Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange. The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. 32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as? A. Religious sites. B. Natural wonders. C. Rubbish stations. D. Domestic buildings. 33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles? A. The richness of plants. B. The worsening climate. C. The need to store goods. D. The desire to raise more animals. 34. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla? A. They had interactions with other groups. B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats. C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food. D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A To promote a historical site. B. To provide some new insights. C. To introduce an ancient population. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs. 【答案】32 D 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑，该建筑的发掘让考古学家对沙特新石器时代的游牧民有了新的认识。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.(被丢弃的动物骨头，家用工具，甚至珠宝，重新将站立的石头圈归类为新石器时代的房屋。)”可知，该建筑是新石器时代游牧民建立的定居地。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile.(更丰富的植被意味着将动物迁移到新鲜草原的压力更小，这使得建造家园更值得。)”可知，植被的丰富是促进游牧民定居的重要原因。故选A 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.(高原遗址还发现了用砂岩山谷的材料制成的工具和用红海贝壳制成的珠宝——这些新石器时代的人有一个复杂的文化，包括旅行和可能的交换。)”可推知新石器时期的沙特游牧民可能和其他地区的人群有往来。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首段末句“Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.(这个被考古学家称为“环状列石”的建筑无疑是由人类建造的，它是在大约7500年前由一个我们几乎不知道的民族建造的，我们长期以来一直误解它的目的。)”和最后一段的内容“The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. (这一发现推翻了我们对新石器时代的许多假设。这里的人们比历史上所记载的更加安定，更加文明。他们的故事才刚刚开始被揭示，但早期AlUla的一个非常不同的画面正在浮现。)”可知，本文介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑，该建筑的发掘推翻了考古学家之前对于沙特新石器时代游牧民的设想，为该地区游牧民的生活方式提供了新的认识。因此推断本文的写作目的是提供一些新的见解。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. _____36_____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? _____37_____ They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.

This ___65___ (combine) of tradition and innovation helps ensure that tea culture remains relevant in today’s fast-paced world. 【答案】56. refers 57. symbolic 58. creating 59. a 60. risers 61. to take 62. leisured##leisurely 63. which 64. as 65. combination 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了厦门的一项特色传统——茶桌仔（chazhuozi），它不仅是一种围绕饮茶的聚会形式，更是友谊与尊重的象征。 【56题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：厦门有一项引人注目的传统叫作“茶桌仔”（chazhuozi），字面意思是“茶桌”，指的是以喝茶为中心的聚会。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语tradition是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填refers。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在那里，茶不仅仅是一种饮品——它是友谊和尊重的象征。空格处用形容词作表语，symbol的形容词是symbolic，意为“象征性的”，故填symbolic。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“茶桌仔”吸引人们围坐在桌旁，一边喝茶一边分享故事，为当地人和游客营造出温馨、惬意的氛围，让大家可以在轻松、社交的环境中享受泡茶的艺术。句中谓语是draws，空格处用非谓语动词，Chazhuozi和create之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作状语，故填creating。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“茶桌仔”吸引人们围坐在桌旁，一边喝茶一边分享故事，为当地人和游客营造出温馨、惬意的氛围，让大家可以在轻松、社交的环境中享受泡茶的艺术。setting是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，relaxed是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【60题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：早起的人，尤其是老年人，会带着自己的茶叶和茶点来到茶桌旁，开启崭新的一天。riser是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填risers。 【61题详解】 考查不定式。句意：老年人的茶会通常在上午9点左右结束，之后其他人便会接替他们。根据语境可知，句子表示“老年人的茶会通常在上午9点左右结束，之后其他人便会接替他们”，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to take。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这是厦门生活的一个缩影——闲适且从容不迫。空格处用形容词作状语，leisure的形容词是leisured/leisurely，意为“从容的，悠闲的”，和后文 unhurried并列，故填leisured/leisurely。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当地人围坐在茶桌旁分享古老的故事和历史传说，为茶会增添了深度和乐趣。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，主语是前面整个主句的内容，因此空格处用which引导定语从句，故填which。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：许多年轻人受到这种传统茶文化的启发，开始接受饮茶这种方式，以此重拾与根源的联系。根据语境可知，空格处意为“作为”，用介词as，故填as。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种传统与创新的结合有助于确保茶文化在当今快节奏的世界中依然保持活力。空前有This，空格处用名词，combine的名词是combination，意为“结合”，是不可数名词，作主语，故填combination。 第四部分 写作(满分40分) 第一节 书面表达(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你参加的选修课近期将组织一次校外实地考察，现就“A Field Trip to the City Museum or the Nature Park”在同学们中征求意见，请你给负责该课程的外教Brian写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 你的意向和理由； 2. 对活动的期待。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 可以适当增添细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Brian, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文1: Dear Brian, As for the upcoming field trip organized for our elective course, visiting the City Museum would be a fantastic choice in my opinion.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南平一中2024~2025学年下学期高二3月月考英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150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。 例: How much is the shirt?

These are Britain’s best country inns (旅馆) for you to choose from. Ship Inn, Fife The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar. The Star, Yorksbire For a pleasant winter break, the only thing better than a country inn is a thatched (茅草屋顶的) country inn and The Star is a rare and picture-perfect example. The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood. The food in the restaurant is a selection of what is typically served in local pubs. You could even join in a wrestling match and the pub’s owner is captain of the local wrestling club. Acorn Inn, Dorset Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires. There’s a wood-beamed (木梁) bar with an excellent restaurant, celebrated for its locally sourced produce. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham If you love the idea of staying at an inn but still want a touch of luxury, book a room at the Lord Crewe Arms. Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland in the beautiful landscape of the North Pennine hills, the inn has a history dating back to 1165. Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too. 21. What kind of holiday makers may favor Ship Inn, Fife? A. Sports lovers. B. Movie fans. C. Novel readers. D. Beach goers. 22. Which inn has kept its style for several hundred years? A. The Star, Yorkshire B. Acorn Inn, Dorset C. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham D. Ship Inn, Fife 23. What do the four inns have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They bear grass roofs. C. Their rooms feature wood. D. They offer the same menu. B Eilish Fisher’s first words were a quote from Henry David Thoreau’s famous nature poem Walden, which hung on a print in the farmhouse where she grew up. The themes of Thoreau’s poem match Fisher’s twin interests in nature and verse (韵文). With the release of her first novel, Fia and the Last Snow Deer, a book for younger readers with a poetic quality that will appeal to both adults and children, these two passions are beautifully shown. Growing up on the farm in rural Vermont, Fisher lived with all kinds of animals. Before she could read, her parents used to read to her poems by Mary Oliver and WB Yeats. Fisher herself was educated through the Steiner system. She studied stories from Homer and the Greek mythology (神话), transforming what she learned into home-made textbooks that she drew and sewed, which were presented to her classmates at the end of every school year, as a Steiner tradition. She took a master’s and then a doctor’s degree in medieval (中世纪的) Irish poetry, but then she pivoted completely. “After spending years in academia, I missed animals and that connection that I had with them since childhood. I suppose I had confidence to just follow my heart, not to be afraid to take risks and try new things.” she said. She is based now in the Wicklow wilds of the Glenmalure Valley. The intention to write for children was stimulated by a wander Fisher took one winter morning in the remote hills around Glenmalure. “The calm environment reminds me of what I had read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland. I decided to write about human-deer relationship.” Initially writing in prose (散文), she chose to turn it into a verse novel, which posed a particular challenge for the writer. With an illustrator, the book Fia and the Last Snow Deer became visually unique. It won the award for children’s book of the year at the Irish Book Awards. 24. What’s a characteristic of Fia and the Last Snow Deer? A. It copies Walden in content. B. It combines nature and verse. C. It focuses on Irish mythology. D. It describes Fisher’s childhood. 25. What’s the Steiner tradition? A. Handing in a final paper. B. Sharing strategies on writing. C. Giving presentations on poems. D. Making stories into handmade books. 26. What do the underlined words “she pivoted completely” in paragraph 4 mean? A. She stayed in academia. B. She kept loving animals. C. She changed her career path. D. She turned to ancient poetry. 27. What led Fisher to write the awarded book? A. The inspiration during a walk. B. A book on human-deer relationship. C. The passion for poetry writing. D. A historical discovery about reindeer. C A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does. The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads. It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth. The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly. 28. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean? A Running out of. B. Keeping away from. C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of. 29. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced? A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants. C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland. 30. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens? A Traditional. B. Odd-looking. C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS. C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS. D Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray- brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock —— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood. In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long- forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes. Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange. The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. 32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as? A. Religious sites. B. Natural wonders. C. Rubbish stations. D. Domestic buildings. 33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles? A. The richness of plants. B. The worsening climate. C. The need to store goods. D. The desire to raise more animals. 34. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla? A. They had interactions with other groups. B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats. C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food. D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote a historical site. B. To provide some new insights. C. To introduce an ancient population. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. _____36_____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? _____37_____ They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving. AI shopping agents not only suggest what you might like, but also act on your behalf. Imagine this: You remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that’s highly rated and will arrive by Sunday. In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. _____38_____ Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. They are likely to be able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms. Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms. Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver. _____39_____ A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough. AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously performing complex tasks such as automating refunds and approving pricing decisions. _____40_____ A. But can AI truly learn your preferences? B. The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents. C. Companies using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits. D. A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results. E. They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter. F. This is reshaping consumers’ shopping habits and how businesses operate. G. Meanwhile, the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分45分) 第一节 完型填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
