Zhoukoudian, Beijing Zhoukoudian, a UNESCO heritage site located 50km from downtown Beijing, has been a significant site. At various parts of the site, scientists have unearthed the remains of early human “Peking Man” that date back more than 500,000 years, as well as of “Shandingdong Man”, who lived 30,000 years ago. Sanxingdui Ruins, Sichuan Province As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years. The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, covering 12 square kilometers. Yinxu Ruins, Henan Province Yinxu Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anyang city, Henan Province, was an ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty (16th century BCE—11th century BCE). Spreading across over 30 square kilometers, the site features the greatest number of oracle bone inscriptions(甲骨文) discovered so far in the world. Daming Palace, Shaanxi Province Famous for its super-large size and splendid buildings, Daming Palace was the main royal palace in the Tang Dynasty (618—907) where Tang emperors lived and dealt with state affairs. Covering 3.2 square kilometers, it fully demonstrates the spectacular style of grand architecture during the Tang empire. 1. Which site reflects the earliest human? A. Zhoukoudian. B. Sanxingdui Ruins. C. Yinxu Ruins. D. Daming Palace. 2. What is Yinxu Ruins known for? A. The grand architecture. B. The remains of the Shu Kingdom. C. Oracle bone inscriptions. D. Royal palaces in the Tang Dynasty. 3. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To introduce the history of “Peking Man”. B. To demonstrate the China’s best palace. C. To share the information of the Shu Kingdom. D. To recommend some heritage sites to visitors. B Xu Yuanchong, a well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators (参议员) disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about 1,000 words, working till 3 to 4 a.m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a.m. to continue. “Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 4. What do we know about Xu Yuanchong from paragraph 1? A. He mastered at least three foreign languages. B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize. D. He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Particular. B. Confident. C. Inventive. D. Productive. 6. Why is the example mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To promote Xu’s translation works. B. To show Xu’s great translation skills. C. To stress the importance of Chinese poetry. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 7. Which of the following can best describe Xu? A. Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and passionate. C. Devoted and hard-working. D. Creative and open-minded. C According to a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears to be associated with a large brain volume (容量) in adults although experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cost caused by the lost time and the fatigue-related (与疲劳有关的) errors. The work followed previous studies that suggested a brief nap could improve people’s ability to learn. Arianna Huffington, a co-founder of Huff Post and founder of Thrive Global, said, “Given the latest science on the effectiveness of napping and the clear link between employees feeling well rested and their productivity, it’s long time that businesses allow short naps at work.” Some businesses, including Thrive Global, have already introduced facilities for employees to take naps. Google introduced sleeprooms as far back as 2014 and companies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s introduced nap rooms. The practice has even been adopted by the NHS, with a growing number of hospitals introducing sleep rooms for staff in an effort to help them get more rest. Employees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwood, of Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets employees more involved and creative, we’re happy to provide that for our team members.” Unfortunately, the practice of napping still suffers from our collective concept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. However, the performance-enhancing benefits of naps have been no secret to many leaders throughout history. It also gives the higher-ups the chance to acknowledge the 24/7 work culture and come up with top-down solutions that encourage workers to take care of themselves in and out of work. While sleep experts stressed that a daytime nap could be beneficial, they said it was crucial to get enough shut-eye at night, which is essential for overall well-being and strengthens the nerve circuits that make for learning and memory. Nevertheless, few people know how to get sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep period. 8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The brain volume in adults. B. The overwork and its consequences. C. Previous studies about napping. D. A research finding published recently. 9. What is Arianna Huffington’s attitude to napping? A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent. 10. Why do many companies offer their staff sleeping facilities? A They find a new way to sell their products. B. They’re aware of the advantages of napping. C. They aim to inspire the staff work extra hours. D. They’re trying to draw more people to join them. 11. What might be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. The collective concept of napping. B. The storage of memory. C. The ways to a sound sleep at night. D. The secrets to well-being. D In late September, an international team of researchers spread out across a remote New Mexico mountain range in search of a plant. The group walked through the rough landscape looking for signs of plants hugging a tree. Seven days later, the scientists left with a sample of nature’s reward: wild bean plants. The scientists wanted to collect the legume (豆科植物), which is native to dry regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. “The plants have adapted to this very hot and dry climate, so they have exceptional drought and heat tolerance,” said Sarah Dohle, an expert with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A warming planet is causing huge damage to agriculture around the globe. In the Western U.S., a severe drought affected California’s tomato and rice production. In Guatemala, the combined effects of both drought and rain decreased corn and black bean harvests. In Sub-Saharan Africa, hot conditions have reduced the yields of wheat and corn by more than a third since the early 1960s. “Crops like the wild bean could help diversify food production, and their genetic material may help make other crops more drought-and heat-tolerant,” said Richard Pratt, who is among a growing number of scientists working to look for crops adapting to climate change. The University of California is leading a multi-state $ 15 million project involving 20 institutions to speed up the breeding (繁殖) cycles of wheat and to research ways to help the crop grow in a toughened environment. At Auburn University in Alabama, scientists are working to breed a peanut variety that can better tolerate drought conditions. And scientists from various institutions have taken part in an effort funded by the Norwegian government to identify, collect and evaluate wild crops for future development. Still, there are numerous challenges at play: Crop breeding is a time-intensive process, so it can be difficult for scientists to keep pace with rapidly changing weather. Advances in gene editing can help speed up the process, but come with their own trials. “As global climate change keeps being hard on us” Sarah said, “there isn’t plenty of time left for us to get crops that are adaptable.” 12. What’s special about the wild legume? A. It merely grows in New Mexico. B. It easily survives in a very hot and dry climate. C. It may limit rice’s growth conditions. D. It may help researchers improve crop production. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By answering questions. C. By analyzing reasons. D. By making comparisons. 14. What message does Sarah Dohle convey in the last paragraph? A. Climate change is controllable. B. Crop breeding is time-consuming. C. Urgent measures should be carried out. D. Efforts to plant crops prove fruitless. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Overlooked Wild Crops Require Preserving B. Global Warming Influences Crops’ Adaptation C. A Severe Drought Is Threatening Food Security D. Scientists Are Looking for Climate-adapted Crops 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。 Reading body language can tell you a lot about someone’s feelings or what they really mean when they’re speaking. ____16____ So take some notes!

The passages were filled with sounds of the students chatting and laughing cheerfully. In a classroom on the first floor, some of the freshmen were catching up on their homework, while others were sharing stories about their weekends. Among them were Alex, a tall and well-built boy crazy about fitness. He was tidying up the teacher’s desk in the front of the classroom. Alex was a popular fellow, always wearing a big smile on his face and ready to help others. Alex’s deskmate Ben was busy preparing for his favourite literature class to be given by their headteacher Ms Eyre. Ben was a newcomer who had just joined the class a week before. He had suffered from a rare condition that led to his extremely limited physical strength, a thin body and reliance on a wheelchair for mobility. Ben usually left his wheelchair outside classrooms during school due to the restricted room capacity. Despite his disability, his friendly nature and optimistic attitude to life quickly endeared him to his new classmates. Every student was enjoying their brief break when suddenly the ground started to shake violently, sending almost all the books and learning tools flying off the desks. Next, the familiar sound of earthquake alarms rang loudly throughout the school. “Earthquake! Take cover under the desks!” shouted Alex. Thanks to the regular emergency drills (演练) by the school, the students didn’t panic but immediately sprang into action. They quickly pushed away their chairs and hid under the desks, just as they had been taught and practiced many times. However, Ben, who had never experienced such a disaster, was terribly frightened and at a loss what to do. Seated on his chair and holding on to the edge of his desk, he was trembling along with the ground, his face turning deadly pale. Aware of Ben’s situation, Alex, rose to his feet from under the teacher’s desk. 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。 He made his way to Ben, saying firmly, “Don’t panic! We’ll get out safe.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Ms Eyre made it to her classroom, she found nobody left behind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长水教育集团2024—2025学年第二学期质量检测（6月） 高二英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第一册——选择性必修第四册。 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。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.

Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators (参议员) disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about 1,000 words, working till 3 to 4 a.m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a.m. to continue. “Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 4. What do we know about Xu Yuanchong from paragraph 1? A. He mastered at least three foreign languages. B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize. D. He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Particular. B. Confident. C. Inventive. D. Productive. 6. Why is the example mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To promote Xu’s translation works. B. To show Xu’s great translation skills. C. To stress the importance of Chinese poetry. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 7. Which of the following can best describe Xu? A. Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and passionate. C. Devoted and hard-working. D. Creative and open-minded. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了中国著名翻译家许渊冲在诗歌翻译方面的成就以及他的影响力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. (自1978年以来，许出版了100多部中、英、法翻译作品，在国内外拥有数百万读者。最值得注意的是，他将中国诗歌翻译成英语和法语的押韵诗。)”可知，许渊冲以翻译的押韵诗而广为人知。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“For him, English is a “scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. (对他来说，英语是一门要求准确的“科学”语言，而汉语是一门包含更广泛内容的“艺术”语言。遵循这一原则，许在翻译中不仅要忠实于原文的意义，还要力求保持诗歌的美。)”可知，许渊冲在他的翻译中不仅追求准确，也追求美。由此推知，许在翻译时应是极其严谨和讲究细节的，所以推测画线词应意为“讲究的，挑剔的”。A. Particular挑剔的，讲究的；B. Confident自信的；C. Inventive有创造力的；D. Productive多产的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators (参议员) disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. (通过许的翻译，古老的中国智慧，对西方及全世界产生了影响。例如，当美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马在其任期内试图启动一项医疗保健项目时，一些参议员起初表示反对。但一位参议员阅读了许翻译的《江雪》这首诗后，他被这位渔夫的独立思考所打动，选择放弃党派路线，转而支持奥巴马。)”可知，许渊冲翻译的《江雪》打动了那位参议员，改变了其想法，充分说明了他的翻译技巧之高。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. (自1978年以来，许出版了100多部中、英、法翻译作品，在国内外拥有数百万读者。)”和最后一段中“Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about 1,000 words, working till 3 to 4 a.m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a.m. to continue. (取得如此大的成就后，许保持着常规。他每天翻译大约1000个单词，工作到凌晨3、4点，睡3个小时左右，早上6点起床继续工作。)”可知，许渊冲热衷于翻译事业且非常刻苦努力。故选C项。 C According to a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears to be associated with a large brain volume (容量) in adults although experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cost caused by the lost time and the fatigue-related (与疲劳有关的) errors. The work followed previous studies that suggested a brief nap could improve people’s ability to learn. Arianna Huffington, a co-founder of Huff Post and founder of Thrive Global, said, “Given the latest science on the effectiveness of napping and the clear link between employees feeling well rested and their productivity, it’s long time that businesses allow short naps at work.” Some businesses, including Thrive Global, have already introduced facilities for employees to take naps. Google introduced sleeprooms as far back as 2014 and companies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s introduced nap rooms. The practice has even been adopted by the NHS, with a growing number of hospitals introducing sleep rooms for staff in an effort to help them get more rest. Employees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwood, of Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets employees more involved and creative, we’re happy to provide that for our team members.” Unfortunately, the practice of napping still suffers from our collective concept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. However, the performance-enhancing benefits of naps have been no secret to many leaders throughout history. It also gives the higher-ups the chance to acknowledge the 24/7 work culture and come up with top-down solutions that encourage workers to take care of themselves in and out of work. While sleep experts stressed that a daytime nap could be beneficial, they said it was crucial to get enough shut-eye at night, which is essential for overall well-being and strengthens the nerve circuits that make for learning and memory. Nevertheless, few people know how to get sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep period. 8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The brain volume in adults. B. The overwork and its consequences. C. Previous studies about napping. D. A research finding published recently. 9. What is Arianna Huffington’s attitude to napping? A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent. 10. Why do many companies offer their staff sleeping facilities? A. They find a new way to sell their products. B. They’re aware of the advantages of napping. C. They aim to inspire the staff work extra hours. D. They’re trying to draw more people to join them. 11. What might be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. The collective concept of napping. B. The storage of memory. C. The ways to a sound sleep at night. D. The secrets to well-being. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了小睡的益处、企业推广小睡的现状及原因和专家对睡眠的建议。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to a study published this week, habitual napping (小睡) appears to be associated with a large brain volume (容量) in adults although experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cost caused by the lost time and the fatigue - related (与疲劳有关的) errors.(根据本周发表的一项研究，习惯性小睡似乎与成人大脑容量大有关，尽管专家强调还需要进一步研究。它减少了因时间损失和疲劳相关错误造成的成本)”可知，第一段主要阐述了最近发表的一项研究发现。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Arianna Huffington, a co-founder of Huff Post and founder of Thrive Global, said, “Given the latest science on the effectiveness of napping and the clear link between employees feeling well rested and their productivity, it’s long time that businesses allow short naps at work.”(赫芬顿邮报的联合创始人、Thrive Global的创始人阿里安娜·赫芬顿说：“鉴于关于小睡有效性的最新科学研究，以及员工休息良好与工作效率之间的明确联系，企业早就应该允许员工在工作时小睡了”)”可知，阿里安娜·赫芬顿认为企业应允许员工小睡，由此可推知，她对小睡持支持态度。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Some businesses, including Thrive Global, have already introduced facilities for employees to take naps. Google introduced sleeprooms as far back as 2014 and companies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s introduced nap rooms. The practice has even been adopted by the NHS, with a growing number of hospitals introducing sleep rooms for staff in an effort to help them get more rest. Employees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwood, of Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets employees more involved and creative, we’re happy to provide that for our team members.”(包括Thrive Global在内的一些企业已经为员工引入了小睡设施。谷歌早在2014年就推出了睡眠室，耐克和Ben & Jerry’s等公司也推出了小睡室。英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）甚至也采用了这种做法，越来越多的医院为员工设立了睡眠室，以帮助他们获得更多休息。员工们似乎很热情。Ben & Jerry’s的肖恩·格林伍德说：“如果小睡能让员工更投入、更有创造力，我们很乐意给团队成员提供这样的机会”)”可知，许多公司为员工提供睡眠设施是因为他们意识到了小睡的好处，能让员工更投入和有创造力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While sleep experts stressed that a daytime nap could be beneficial, they said it was crucial to get enough shut - eye at night, which is essential for overall well - being and strengthens the nerve circuits that make for learning and memory. Nevertheless, few people know how to get sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep period.(虽然睡眠专家强调白天小睡可能有益，但他们表示晚上获得充足的睡眠至关重要，这对整体健康至关重要，并且能强化有助于学习和记忆的神经回路。然而，很少有人知道如何在正常的夜间睡眠时间获得充足的睡眠)”可知，文章最后提到很少人知道如何在夜间获得充足睡眠，那么接下来可能会讨论获得良好夜间睡眠的方法。故选C项。 D In late September, an international team of researchers spread out across a remote New Mexico mountain range in search of a plant. The group walked through the rough landscape looking for signs of plants hugging a tree. Seven days later, the scientists left with a sample of nature’s reward: wild bean plants. The scientists wanted to collect the legume (豆科植物), which is native to dry regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. “The plants have adapted to this very hot and dry climate, so they have exceptional drought and heat tolerance,” said Sarah Dohle, an expert with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A warming planet is causing huge damage to agriculture around the globe. In the Western U.S., a severe drought affected California’s tomato and rice production. In Guatemala, the combined effects of both drought and rain decreased corn and black bean harvests. In Sub-Saharan Africa, hot conditions have reduced the yields of wheat and corn by more than a third since the early 1960s. “Crops like the wild bean could help diversify food production, and their genetic material may help make other crops more drought-and heat-tolerant,” said Richard Pratt, who is among a growing number of scientists working to look for crops adapting to climate change. The University of California is leading a multi-state $ 15 million project involving 20 institutions to speed up the breeding (繁殖) cycles of wheat and to research ways to help the crop grow in a toughened environment. At Auburn University in Alabama, scientists are working to breed a peanut variety that can better tolerate drought conditions. And scientists from various institutions have taken part in an effort funded by the Norwegian government to identify, collect and evaluate wild crops for future development. Still, there are numerous challenges at play: Crop breeding is a time-intensive process, so it can be difficult for scientists to keep pace with rapidly changing weather. Advances in gene editing can help speed up the process, but come with their own trials. “As global climate change keeps being hard on us,” Sarah said, “there isn’t plenty of time left for us to get crops that are adaptable.” 12. What’s special about the wild legume? A. It merely grows in New Mexico. B. It easily survives in a very hot and dry climate. C. It may limit rice’s growth conditions. D. It may help researchers improve crop production. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By answering questions. C. By analyzing reasons. D. By making comparisons. 14. What message does Sarah Dohle convey in the last paragraph? A. Climate change is controllable. B. Crop breeding is time-consuming. C. Urgent measures should be carried out. D. Efforts to plant crops prove fruitless. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Overlooked Wild Crops Require Preserving B. Global Warming Influences Crops’ Adaptation C. A Severe Drought Is Threatening Food Security D. Scientists Are Looking for Climate-adapted Crops 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了科学家们为寻找适应气候变化的农作物所做出的努力以及面临的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The scientists wanted to collect the legume (豆科植物), which is native to dry regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. “The plants have adapted to this very hot and dry climate, so they have exceptional drought and heat tolerance,” said Sarah Dohle, an expert with the U. S. Department of Agriculture.(科学家们想收集豆科植物，它原产于美国西南部和墨西哥西北部的干旱地区。美国农业部专家Sarah Dohle说：“这些植物已经适应了这种非常炎热和干燥的气候，因此它们具有特殊的耐旱和耐热性。”)”可知，这种野生的豆科植物具有非凡的抗旱性和耐热性。换言之，它们在炎热、干燥的气候下易存活。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A warming planet is causing huge damage to agriculture around the globe. In the Western U.S., a severe drought affected California’s tomato and rice production. In Guatemala, the combined effects of both drought and rain decreased corn and black bean harvests. In Sub-Saharan Africa, hot conditions have reduced the yields of wheat and corn by more than a third since the early 1960s.(全球变暖正在对全球农业造成巨大损害。在美国西部，严重的干旱影响了加州的番茄和水稻产量。在危地马拉，干旱和降雨的共同影响导致玉米和黑豆的收成减少。在撒哈拉以南的非洲，自20世纪60年代初以来，炎热的气候使小麦和玉米的产量减少了三分之一以上。)”可知，第三段主要是通过列举三个地区的农作物产量情况来说明气候变暖对农业的影响。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““As global climate change keeps being hard on us,” Sarah said, “there isn’t plenty of time left for us to get crops that are adaptable.”(“随着全球气候变化对我们的影响越来越大，”Sarah说，“留给我们种植适应性强的作物的时间已经不多了。”)”可知，Sarah Dohle应是提醒需采取紧急措施来解决气候变暖对农业的影响这一问题。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是前两段及倒数第三段可知，本文主要讲述了科学家们为应对气候变化对农业带来的影响所做出的努力——科学家们正在寻找适应气候变化的农作物品种。D项“科学家正在寻找适应气候的作物”概括全文，适合作文章标题。故选D。 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。 Reading body language can tell you a lot about someone’s feelings or what they really mean when they’re speaking. ____16____ So take some notes!

The passages were filled with sounds of the students chatting and laughing cheerfully. In a classroom on the first floor, some of the freshmen were catching up on their homework, while others were sharing stories about their weekends. Among them were Alex, a tall and well-built boy crazy about fitness. He was tidying up the teacher’s desk in the front of the classroom. Alex was a popular fellow, always wearing a big smile on his face and ready to help others. Alex’s deskmate Ben was busy preparing for his favourite literature class to be given by their headteacher Ms Eyre. Ben was a newcomer who had just joined the class a week before. He had suffered from a rare condition that led to his extremely limited physical strength, a thin body and reliance on a wheelchair for mobility. Ben usually left his wheelchair outside classrooms during school due to the restricted room capacity. Despite his disability, his friendly nature and optimistic attitude to life quickly endeared him to his new classmates. Every student was enjoying their brief break when suddenly the ground started to shake violently, sending almost all the books and learning tools flying off the desks. Next, the familiar sound of earthquake alarms rang loudly throughout the school. “Earthquake! Take cover under the desks!” shouted Alex. Thanks to the regular emergency drills (演练) by the school, the students didn’t panic but immediately sprang into action. They quickly pushed away their chairs and hid under the desks, just as they had been taught and practiced many times. However, Ben, who had never experienced such a disaster, was terribly frightened and at a loss what to do. Seated on his chair and holding on to the edge of his desk, he was trembling along with the ground, his face turning deadly pale. Aware of Ben’s situation, Alex, rose to his feet from under the teacher’s desk. 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。 He made his way to Ben, saying firmly, “Don’t panic! We’ll get out safe.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Ms Eyre made it to her classroom, she found nobody left behind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version He made his way to Ben, saying firmly, “Don’t panic! We’ll get out safe.” Ben, his eyes wide with fear, nodded with a forced smile. The second the ground stopped shaking, the students didn’t hesitate to come out from under the desks and make for the exit in an orderly fashion, following the route they were familiar with from the drills. Alex quickly lifted Ben out of his chair, carried him in his strong arms and made his way out of the classroom. He put Ben into his wheelchair outside and pushed it forward quickly. They succeeded in escaping from the teaching building to the open ground. As Ms Eyre made it to her classroom, she found nobody left behind. Relieved, she quickly reached the playground where her class gathered. When she scanned the crowd and finally spotted Ben, she hurried over, patting him on the shoulder and saying, “Thank goodness, Ben. You’re here.” “Alex helped me out,” Ben responded with gratitude. “You did a great job.” Ms Eyre praised Alex, who just shrugged, saying smilingly, “We’re all here. That’s what matters.” Everyone clapped. The students’ unity and courage made this earthquake an unforgettable experience, strengthening their bond and deepening their understanding of how vital it was to look out for each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在突发地震中，Alex冷静应对，帮助行动不便的同桌Ben迅速撤离，展现了同学间真挚互助、勇敢担当的精神，也体现了灾难面前团结协作的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他走向Ben，坚定地说：“别慌！我们会安全出去的。””可知，第一段可描写地震发生后Alex如何迅速帮助Ben撤离的过程，包括他的行动和两人之间的互动。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Eyres老师赶到教室时，她发现没有人被落下。”可知，第二段可描写事后老师清点人数、表扬Alex以及同学们对这次经历的感悟与情感升华。 2.续写线索：地震突发——学生有序撤离——Alex帮助Ben转移——成功脱险——老师确认全员安全——表扬善举 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走向：make for/head for/move towards ②发现：spot/discover ③鼓掌：clap/applaud 情绪类 ①害怕地：with fear/fearfully/in terror ②感激地：with gratitude/thankfully/appreciatively 【点睛】【高分句型1】Relieved, she quickly reached the playground where her class gathered.
