You can enjoy diverse marine life here.— By Terry Ward 1. What is the main focus of the Grootbos Florilegium? A. Rare plants. B. Artistic paintings. C. Diversity of ecosystems. D. Methods of nature conservation. 2. Who recommends agricultural practice? A. Cindy Fan. B. Terry Ward. C. Elaine Glusac. D. Sorrel Moseley. 3. What do we know about Dive Tutukaka? A. It offers special facilities and help to divers. B It is a paradise for the tourists interested in wildlife. C. It provides customized service for scuba enthusiasts. D. It is New Zealand’s most professional dive charter operator. B When I was 24, I had a good and well-paid job. However, I learned about the limitation of the position I was in. Therefore, I decided to change my situation to make myself more employable, develop a wider range of skills and finish a bachelor’s degree. I decided to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) as I had a passion for science. Besides, I enjoyed quick and critical thinking, and needed a worthwhile career. I started a BSN at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in January 2007 with the intention of specialising in Emergency. Throughout my education years, I worked about 30 hours per week sometimes even more, just to make a living. My parents supported my decisions but they lacked the financial resources to help me. Apart from government loans (贷款), scholarships and my own income from work, I had no other sources of financial support. Scholarships helped me a lot when it came to paying my tuition. I am happy to say that I graduated with a BSN in May three years later. Thanks to the Employed Student Nurse program, I found a good job easily and worked full-time in Emergency at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Shortly after being hired, I was sponsored (资助) by Fraser Health to continue my studies and finally I completed my Emergency Nursing Specialty certificate (文凭) as well as other various certifications connected with emergency nursing. With a BSN from Canada, I also challenged the American NCLEXRN (美国注册护士). I am now employed full-time in a hospital that I love and I plan to devote the rest of my life to it. I am happy that l chose to return to school to continue my education. 4. Why did the author decide to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing? A. To learn about the limitation of the position. B. To find a worthwhile career. C. To live up to her parents’ expectations. D. To help support her family. 5. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The author’s family background. B. The author’s part-time job. C. The author’s intention of winning scholar-ships. D. The author’s hard life during her education years. 6. When did the author get a BSN? A. In the year 2007. B. When she was 24 years old. C. In the year 2010. D. When she finished NCLEXRN 7. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. Keeping is harder than winning. C. Practice makes perfect. D. One never lose anything by politeness. C Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. The culprit is black carbon, created when fossil (化石) fuels and biomass are burnt. Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. Due to its remoteness, Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution compared to other parts of the world. However, the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape. The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula. The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether, an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest. “It is likely that local emissions (排放) account for most of the black carbon content in samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,” the paper states. Ships, aero planes, helicopters, generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon that can settle on snow. The study authors suggest that tourist cruises (巡航) and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution in the study area. That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or deep cycle battery power. “Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica,” the authors write. 8. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean? A Main cause. B. Harmful gas. C. Useful energy. D. Unexpected result. 9. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica? A. From winds blowing in foreign dust. B. From volcanic activities under the ice. C. From natural changes in temperature. D. From fuel use in tourism and research. 10. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply? A They exactly show each visitor’s carbon footprint. B. The impact of human activity may be underestimated. C. They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned. D. The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem. 11. What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica? A. They still show limited effect. B. They paint a rosy picture. C. They are a drop in the bucket. D. They boost Antarctica tourism. D In 2023, trucks moved $15 trillion worth of goods in the United States. Trucking is what keeps America’s economy moving, plain and simple. Advances in artificial intelligence, lasers, radar, and cameras are prepared to automate long-distance trucking on interstate highways. At the same time, battery technology has progressed to the point where electrifying semi-trucks is increasingly economical. “Autonomy and electrification combined could lead to a 50% decrease in emissions and 46% savings in life cycle costs,” a team of researchers reported earlier this summer in a paper. “Electrification of all U. S. trucks would result in $32.3 billion — $39.2 billion in avoided damages annually and health benefits throughout the United States.” Widespread autonomous, electric trucks are projected to be good for business and for America’s collective health. But will they ever be practical? At face value, the prospect is discouraging. First off, current diesel-powered (柴油动力) semi-trucks can travel 1,000 to 1,800 miles before needing a roughly twenty-minute refueling. Right now, even the best electric trucks can only travel at most 500 miles before requiring a lengthy recharge (which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to six or more hours). Second, refueling infrastructure (基础建设) for diesel trucks is widespread and easy to use, while charging infrastructure for electric semi-trucks is essentially nonexistent. Moreover, building it could cost $1 trillion according to one analysis. Such a pricey investment is scary for any single trucking firm. That means taxpayers might be asked to foot the bill. Third, essentially the core, this new system could effectively remove the long-distance trucking profession, which employs roughly 351,000 Americans. Would realizing an electric, autonomous trucking future be worth the cost? It’s hard to say right now, but the potential is certainly there. Imagine a world where trucks constantly run on interstate highways. Free of human drivers, they’ll run at all hours, stopping only to recharge every 800 or so miles. Human operators are only permitted to drive eleven hours in a day, so goods will arrive faster than they do now. This future is possible, but likely decades off. The costly reorientation (重新定位) needed to realize it — in terms of dollars spent and jobs lost — is an alarming barrier. 12. What advantages do autonomous and electric trucks have? A. They are affordable and long-lasting. B. They are accessible and eco-friendly. C. They are green and cost-efficient. D. They are convenient and strongly-powered. 13. What might be the vital problem for autonomy and electrification of trucks? A. Recharging the trucks. B. Costing too much. C. Lacking related laws. D. Causing unemployment. 14. What’s the author’s attitude toward autonomous and electric trucking? A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Prejudiced. D. Dismissive. 15. Which of the following is the best title? A. Is the Future of Trucks Autonomous and Electric? B. Why Should Trucking Be Autonomous and Electric? C. How Does Trucking Get Autonomous and Electric? D. What Prevents Autonomy and Electrification of Trucking? 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 adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys.

In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a sheet of paper, we made a list of the three people we were looking for in the group, and when we had gathered all the applications, Mrs. Brtlett informed us she would consider the names we had picked out and notify us tomorrow. There was no question in my mind that I would get the group of my own choosing. There were only a handful of sociable decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other. Then the next day, I was anxious to wait for the class. When the bell rang, Missy and I ceased to talk and Mrs. Bartlett called our attention. She began calling out names. When she reached the group three, Missy’s name was mentioned. So, I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth group members have been called out. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, and Carina.” I could feel the tears well up in my eyes.How can I stand being part of this group-one boy who rarely spoke English, one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird (怪异的) clothes? How badly I wanted to be with my friends! I tried not to cry when I approached Mrs. Bartlett. She glanced at me and understood why I had come. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I asked. She put her hand gently on my shoulder. “I understand what you’re trying to do, Carina, but your group need you. You have to help them get a pass on this task. You’re the only one who can help them.” I was surprised that she had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Are you going to help them?” she asked. I stood more upright. “Yeah,” I answered. I didn’t believe it was true, but it was. I had committed. 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。 Paragraph 1: I bravely walked to where the rest of my group were seated. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: In the end, Mrs. Bartlett gave us an “A” on that assignment. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2024-2025学年高二下期06月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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 Each year, TIME makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明南极旅游活动通过黑碳排放加速雪层融化，目前的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染，研究者呼吁加强减排行动。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. (每年约有5.3万名游客到访南极。根据《自然·通讯》发表的最新研究，每位游客可能无意中导致83吨积雪融化)”指出前往南极的游客会导致积雪融化，画线词的下文“Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. (黑碳沉降在雪面上，导致雪的颜色变深。这会增强对太阳热量的吸收，从而加速冰雪融化)”说明黑碳对雪层的影响机制，因此这里是指黑碳是积雪融化的诱因。由此猜测，画线词意思应该是“主要原因，主因”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape. (然而，这项新研究表明，南极旅游和科研活动产生的黑碳仍对这片冰雪景观产生了显著影响)”可知，黑碳是由旅游和研究中使用的燃料产生的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether, an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. (研究表明，在污染严重的区域，黑碳污染导致积雪每年减少多达23毫米。仅旅游活动产生的黑碳影响，就导致每年约440万吨积雪在夏季加速融化——相当于每位游客造成83吨的积雪消融)”可知，这些数据表明黑碳污染导致的积雪融化量非常巨大，暗示了人类活动的影响可能被低估了。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or deep cycle battery power. (尽管近年来已采取多项措施来减少南极旅游的环境足迹——例如改用船用柴油或深循环电池供电——但问题依然存在)”和最后一段中该研究的作者们所说的话“Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica (我们的研究结果表明，要减少旅游活动和船舶对南极洲的影响，仍需付出更多努力)”可知，现有的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染，需要更多的努力来解决这一问题。由此可知，作者们认为这些努力的效果仍然有限。故选A项。 D In 2023, trucks moved $15 trillion worth of goods in the United States. Trucking is what keeps America’s economy moving, plain and simple. Advances in artificial intelligence, lasers, radar, and cameras are prepared to automate long-distance trucking on interstate highways. At the same time, battery technology has progressed to the point where electrifying semi-trucks is increasingly economical. “Autonomy and electrification combined could lead to a 50% decrease in emissions and 46% savings in life cycle costs,” a team of researchers reported earlier this summer in a paper. “Electrification of all U. S. trucks would result in $32.3 billion — $39.2 billion in avoided damages annually and health benefits throughout the United States.” Widespread autonomous, electric trucks are projected to be good for business and for America’s collective health. But will they ever be practical? At face value, the prospect is discouraging. First off, current diesel-powered (柴油动力) semi-trucks can travel 1,000 to 1,800 miles before needing a roughly twenty-minute refueling. Right now, even the best electric trucks can only travel at most 500 miles before requiring a lengthy recharge (which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to six or more hours). Second, refueling infrastructure (基础建设) for diesel trucks is widespread and easy to use, while charging infrastructure for electric semi-trucks is essentially nonexistent. Moreover, building it could cost $1 trillion according to one analysis. Such a pricey investment is scary for any single trucking firm. That means taxpayers might be asked to foot the bill. Third, essentially the core, this new system could effectively remove the long-distance trucking profession, which employs roughly 351,000 Americans. Would realizing an electric, autonomous trucking future be worth the cost? It’s hard to say right now, but the potential is certainly there. Imagine a world where trucks constantly run on interstate highways. Free of human drivers, they’ll run at all hours, stopping only to recharge every 800 or so miles. Human operators are only permitted to drive eleven hours in a day, so goods will arrive faster than they do now. This future is possible, but likely decades off. The costly reorientation (重新定位) needed to realize it — in terms of dollars spent and jobs lost — is an alarming barrier. 12. What advantages do autonomous and electric trucks have? A. They are affordable and long-lasting. B. They are accessible and eco-friendly. C. They are green and cost-efficient. D. They are convenient and strongly-powered. 13. What might be the vital problem for autonomy and electrification of trucks? A. Recharging the trucks. B. Costing too much. C. Lacking related laws. D. Causing unemployment. 14. What’s the author’s attitude toward autonomous and electric trucking? A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Prejudiced. D. Dismissive. 15. Which of the following is the best title? A. Is the Future of Trucks Autonomous and Electric? B. Why Should Trucking Be Autonomous and Electric? C. How Does Trucking Get Autonomous and Electric? D. What Prevents Autonomy and Electrification of Trucking? 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了2023年美国卡车货运量大，自动驾驶和电动化可降排省成本，但续航、基建和就业问题让其实现可能需数十年。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Autonomy and electrification combined could lead to a 50% decrease in emissions and 46% savings in life cycle costs,” a team of researchers reported earlier this summer in a paper. “Electrification of all U. S. trucks would result in $32.3 billion — $39.2 billion in avoided damages annually and health benefits throughout the United States.”(今年夏天早些时候，一组研究人员在一篇论文中报告说：“自动驾驶和电气化结合起来，可以减少50%的排放量，节省46%的生命周期成本。”“美国所有卡车的电气化每年将避免323亿至392亿美元的损失，并在美国各地带来健康效益。”)”可知，自动驾驶和电动卡车绿色且成本低廉。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Third, essentially the core, this new system could effectively remove the long-distance trucking profession, which employs roughly 351,000 Americans.(第三，从本质上讲，这个新系统能够有效地淘汰长途货运行业，该行业雇佣了大约351000名美国人)”可知，对于卡车的自主化和电动化而言，可能存在的关键问题是导致失业。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Autonomy and electrification combined could lead to a 50% decrease in emissions and 46% savings in life cycle costs,” a team of researchers reported earlier this summer in a paper. “Electrification of all U.

In groups we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a sheet of paper, we made a list of the three people we were looking for in the group, and when we had gathered all the applications, Mrs. Brtlett informed us she would consider the names we had picked out and notify us tomorrow. There was no question in my mind that I would get the group of my own choosing. There were only a handful of sociable decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other. Then the next day, I was anxious to wait for the class. When the bell rang, Missy and I ceased to talk and Mrs. Bartlett called our attention. She began calling out names. When she reached the group three, Missy’s name was mentioned. So, I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth group members have been called out. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, and Carina.” I could feel the tears well up in my eyes.How can I stand being part of this group-one boy who rarely spoke English, one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird (怪异的) clothes? How badly I wanted to be with my friends! I tried not to cry when I approached Mrs Bartlett. She glanced at me and understood why I had come. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I asked. She put her hand gently on my shoulder. “I understand what you’re trying to do, Carina, but your group need you. You have to help them get a pass on this task. You’re the only one who can help them.” I was surprised that she had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Are you going to help them?” she asked. I stood more upright. “Yeah,” I answered. I didn’t believe it was true, but it was. I had committed. 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。 Paragraph 1: I bravely walked to where the rest of my group were seated. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: In the end, Mrs. Bartlett gave us an “A” on that assignment. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I bravely walked to where the rest of my group were seated. According to what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper. Halfway through it, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three people. Gradually, I learned that Mauro was struggling with the English language. Juliette wore long skirts every day because of her religion and Rachel had a burning desire to be a fashion designer. Finally, with our cooperation, our assignment was successfully finished. In the end, Mrs. Bartlett gave us an “A” on that assignment. She announced that the newspaper designed by our group was the best. Our joy was beyond description. Many years later, I didn’t recall the content of the newspaper, but I did feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions. It is Mrs. Bartlett’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students. She is the one who truly deserves the grade A. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了世界历史课上，老师要求分组创建报纸。作者自信能与朋友Missy同组，却意外被分配到一个看似不合群的小组。通过老师劝说，作者意识到自己能帮助这个小组完成任务，最终决定接受挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我勇敢地走到其他人坐的地方。”可知，第一段可描写作者与组内成员一起完成任务。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，巴特利特太太在那项任务上给了我们一个“A”。”可知，第二段可描写作者感觉高兴，并意识到是巴特利特太太激发了自己和组员的潜力。 2.续写线索：开始做任务——享受组员的陪伴——完成任务——获得A——感觉快乐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②宣布：announce/declare ③激发：inspire/motivate 情绪类 ①享受：enjoy/appreciate ②喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】According to what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】She is the one who truly deserves the grade A.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
