新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二下学期3月份月考 英语试题 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The 9th Asian Winter Games will kick off on February 7, 2025 in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. There will be 34 countries and regions — the most in the event’s history — taking part in the Games. Here are some fun facts about the Games. Torch (火炬) The torch stands 735mm tall and is inspired by a beautiful lilac (丁香花), Harbin’s city flower. The theme of its design, “Surging”, aims to express the strong energy of life in nature. It shows that the 9th Asian Winter Games will be filled with enthusiasm and passion. The design of the torch takes the form of a flowering lilac, integrating colors such as China Red, Lilac Purple and Snow White, symbolizing the sincerity, warmth, openness, and inclusiveness of Heilongjiang province and the characteristics of the host city, Harbin. Emblem (徽章) The emblem, named “Breakthrough”, combines symbols of short track speed skaters, flowing ribbons (丝带) and lilacs. Its colors, in shades of blue and purple, reflect the beauty of sunlight on ice and snow. The figure’s shape looks like the Chinese character “九”, representing the 9th Games, and “合”, representing unity and friendship. Through this emblem, Harbin extends a warm welcome and expresses hopes for shared growth among Asian countries. Mascots (吉祥物) The mascots for the Games, Binbin and Nini, are two lovable Siberian tigers. Binbin represents ice sports and wears ice skates, while Nini, representing snow sports, rides a snowboard. Their names — “Binbin” from “Harbin” and “Nini” from the Chinese word for “you” — come together to form a message: “Harbin welcomes you! ” These tiger mascots were inspired by two real tigers born in Harbin and represent values of strength, courage and positivity. Events The upcoming Games will feature 64 events in total, with 31% making their first appearance, including new events in speed skating, short track speed skating and ski mountaineering. Notably, ski mountaineering will also be included in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, making the Asian Winter Games a testing ground for the sport. 1. Where did the idea for the torch come from? A. A cute animal in Siberia. B. A speed ice skater in action. C. A flowing ribbon in the wind. D. A beautiful flower of the host city. 2. What common message do the emblem and the mascots carry? A. A shared future. B. A warm welcome. C. Unity and friendship. D. Courage and positivity. 3 What is special about the upcoming Games? A. One of the events will be included in the Olympics. B. The number of athlete participants will break the record. C. Half of the events will appear at the Games for the first time. D. Many new events will be tested for the Olympics at the Games. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了2025年第九届亚洲冬季运动会的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Torch (火炬)部分中“The torch stands 735mm tall and is inspired by a beautiful lilac (丁香花), Harbin’s city flower. (火炬高735毫米，设计灵感来源于哈尔滨的市花——美丽的丁香花。)”可知，火炬的设计灵感来自于主办城市哈尔滨的市花——丁香花。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Emblem (徽章)部分中“Through this emblem, Harbin extends a warm welcome and expresses hopes for shared growth among Asian countries. (通过这个会徽，哈尔滨向亚洲各国发出了热情的邀请，并表达了共同成长的愿望。)”和Mascots (吉祥物)部分中“Their names — “Binbin” from “Harbin” and “Nini” from the Chinese word for “you” — come together to form a message: “Harbin welcomes you! ” (它们的名字分别取自“哈尔滨”的“滨”和中文“你”的“妮”，合起来寓意“哈尔滨欢迎你！”。)”可知，二者共同传递了“热烈的欢迎”。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“The upcoming Games will feature 64 events in total, with 31% making their first appearance, including new events in speed skating, short track speed skating and ski mountaineering. Notably, ski mountaineering will also be included in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, making the Asian Winter Games a testing ground for the sport. (即将到来的运动会将总共设置64个比赛项目，其中31%为首次亮相的项目，包括速度滑冰、短道速滑和滑雪登山等新增项目。值得注意的是，滑雪登山也将被纳入2026年米兰科尔蒂纳冬奥会，这使得亚洲冬季运动会成为该项目的试验场。)”可知，特别之处在于其中一个项目滑雪登山，将被列入奥运会。故选A。 B My mother, who wasn’t good at driving and using technology, planned to drive for Uber, an online platform that provides ride-hailing (打车) services. One day on her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with a rider named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, the panic seized her — the silent navigation (导航), the distracting screen and the swipe/ tap confusion. It was just too much. Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride, nor did she contact him to explain. She turned her car and raced toward home. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check her text messages. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. Matthew called again. She hesitated, and then picked up the phone. “Why are you driving in the opposite direction?” he asked. “Listen,” she explained. “This is my first time with Uber, and I don’t know how to use it.” Then Mom found the destination and Matthew got in the car. Matthew was a handsome man in his early thirties with a kind face. Mom told Matthew he would need to manage the technology if he wanted to arrive on time. “So, start the trip,” she requested and tossed her phone to Matthew. He was glad of service. They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale — although at the wrong entrance. “I’m sorry,” she said. “It’s OK,” laughed Matthew. “Everyone is a beginner at some point.” He ended the trip, returned her phone and started to climb out of the car. “Matthew,” she called from her window, “you’d better not rate me one star.” “I’m rating you five right now!” he said and he really did. Matthew disappeared into the mall, smiling. She smiled, too, proud that her first ride was such a success. 4. Why did the author’s mother turn off her phone? A. She was at a loss what to do then. B. She had difficulty in finding Matthew. C. She couldn’t get in touch with Matthew. D. She had something urgent to deal with. 5 What did Matthew do before he met the author’s mother? A. He canceled the order. B. He followed her car home. C. He issued a warning. D. He phoned her several times. 6. What can we learn about the author’s mother and Mattew’s trip? A. It took shorter than usual. B. It led to a lasting friendship. C. They had a great time during it. D. They didn’t get along well during it. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Matthew? A. Humorous. B. Understanding. C. Intelligent. D. Responsible. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者母亲第一次使用Uber接客时，因不会操作手机应用而遇到困扰，最终在乘客Matthew的帮助下顺利完成行程并获得五星好评的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As she made her way toward him, the panic seized her — the silent navigation, the distracting screen and the swipe/tap confusion. It was just too much. Naturally, she turned off her phone. (当她走向他的时候，她突然感到恐慌——无声的导航，让人分心的屏幕，还有滑动/点击的困惑。实在是太过分了。很自然地，她关了手机)”可知，作者母亲关掉手机是因为她对于优步软件的使用以及手机操作感到困惑不知所措，因此选择关掉了手机。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check her text messages. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. (几分钟后，妈妈打开手机查看短信。她有几个马修的未接来电，马修一直在屏幕上看着她，在过去的五分钟里看到她朝相反的方向开车)”可知，马修在见到作者母亲之前给她打了几次电话。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale —— although at the wrong entrance (他们谈笑风生，最后到达了Yorkdale——尽管走错了入口)”和最后一段“Matthew disappeared into the mall, smiling. She smiled, too, proud that her first ride was such a success. (马修微笑着消失在购物中心。她也笑了，为自己的第一次跑网约车如此成功而自豪)”可推断，作者母亲和马修的行程很愉快。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段马修说的“Everyone is a beginner at some point. (每个人在某个时候都是初学者)”和最后一段他对作者母亲的评价“I’m rating you five right now! (我现在就给你打五分！)”可知，马修能理解并原谅一个初学者的错误，很善解人意。所以最能描述马修的词语是“Understanding(善解人意的)”。故选B项。 C A few years ago, we bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 8. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging. 9. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life requires to be planned carefully. B. Life doesn’t come with clear guidance. C Mistakes in life can always be corrected. D. Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting. 10. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life? A. By avoiding making any choice. B. By focusing on instant end results. C. By seeking instructions from others. D. By moving forward with confidence. 11. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author? A. The value of hard work in life. B. The achievement of life goals. C. The journey of living one’s life. D. The joy of staying with families. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了和父亲一起搭建泰姬陵乐高模型的经历，并由此引发对生活的思考，乐高模型有明确的说明书，但生活没有，尽管充满不确定性，我们也要带着信心前行。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn.(我们面对着成千上万的白色小零件，每一个都用精确编号的塑料袋包装着，附有一本厚厚的说明书。夜晚过得很快，那座建筑在我们眼前升起。我们可以看到我们的努力产生了良好的效果，当我们转向订购大楼地板上的彩色砖块的无聊任务时，我们的谈话也发生了变化)”可知，搭建乐高面对数千个小小的白色积木，可推理出这个过程是复杂的；同时因搭建的建筑物在我们眼前逐渐升起，我们能看到努力正在结出果实，即作者搭建乐高模型的经历复杂而有益。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken.(然而，生活并没有如此整齐地结合在一起，也很少给我们提供如此清晰的指示。我们谈论各自的生活，所做的决定，以及从未采取的行动和选择)”可知，作者从组装乐高模型中学到了人生没有明确的指引。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In the face of uncertainty, we have to move on, trusting bot in the process and the end result(面对不确定性，我们必须继续前进，既相信过程也相信最终结果)”可知，作者建议我们充满信心地前进来处理生活中的不确定性。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.(有时，在我回家的日子里，我去空余的房间看完成的乐高模型，这带来了一种幸福和舒适的感觉。它提醒我，生活是慢慢建立起来的，充满了错误，不确定因素，没有说明书。它表明，体贴，温暖和信念会导致一个美好的生活。生活本身不在于我们创造了什么或留下了什么，而在于我们如何生活)”可知作者认为看见完成的乐高模型，让作者想起生活是慢慢构建的，有错误，有不确定性因素，生活本身不在于我们物质上创造或留下的东西，而在于我们如何度过它，可推理出对作者来说完成的乐高模型象征着人生之旅，故选C。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) might be the biggest winner of the Nobel Prize in 2024. US scientist John Hopfield and British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries and inventions in machine learning that paved the way for the AI rapid growth, according to Reuters. In 1982, Hopfield created a network that helps computers store and recall patterns, similar to how our brains remember things. A year later, Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine, which allows computers to learn independently to recognize patterns in data, such as identifying specific objects in images. As for the Nobel Prize in chemistry, US scientists David Baker and John Jumper, along with British computer scientist Demis Hassabis, won the prize. Half the prize was awarded to Baker “for computational protein design” while the other half was shared by Jumper and Hassabis for their development of the AI model AlphaFold2. Scientists struggled for decades to predict how proteins fold into their 3D shapes that determine their function. However, AlphaFold2, developed by AI research laboratory DeepMind, can accurately predict the 3D structures of nearly all known proteins, showing great potential in the field of drug development. “AI can be a powerful tool for solving problems that involve obtaining outputs from inputs, showing its great potential in scientific research, ” Professor Yang Maojun from Tsinghua University told Science and Technology Daily. In his view, AI applications are not limited to fields like biology, chemistry or physics. Their range mainly depends on how well problems from the real world can be abstracted into a form that AI can learn and process, and whether there is sufficient real-world data to train and build deep learning networks. AI's importance in scientific research is increasingly evident. Yang believes that scientists should actively accept this trend while remaining aware of AI's limitations. Hinton expressed a similar concern at the Nobel press conference. “We also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences, particularly the threat of these things getting out of control, ” he said. “Humans carry the responsibility for using this new technology in a safe and ethical (合乎道德的) way, for the greatest benefit of humankind,” said Ellen Moons, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics. 12. What was John Hopfield’s contribution to the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics? A. Inventing a new learning machine. B. Designing a new type of data processor. C. Creating an AI model for image analysis. D. Developing a network for pattern storage. 13. Why is AlphaFold2 important in the field of drug development? A. It can forecast protein folding patterns. B. It can produce new proteins for drug use. C. It can identify proteins related to diseases. D. It can analyze the genetic orders of proteins. 14. What may determine the potential of AI applications according to Yang Maojun? A. The accuracy of AI training data. B. The effectiveness of machine learning. C. The availability of enough real-world data. D. The level of real-world problem settlement. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. AI also has its weak points. B. AI should benefit humankind. C. AI steals the show at the Nobel Prize. D. AI may run out of control in the future. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述人工智能可能是今年诺贝尔奖的最大赢家。美国科学John Hopfield和英裔加拿大人Geoffrey Hinton获得了诺贝尔奖物理学奖，他们的发明为人工智能的快速发展铺平了道路。诺贝尔化学奖也有与人工智能相关的贡献。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1982, Hopfield created a network that helps computers store and recall patterns, similar to how our brains remember things. (1982年，Hopfield创建了一个网络，帮助计算机存储和回忆模式，类似于我们的大脑记忆事物的方式)”可知，John Hopfield对2024年诺贝尔物理学奖的贡献是发明了一种存储模式的网络，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Scientists struggled for decades to predict how proteins fold into their 3D shapes that determine their function. However, AlphaFold2, developed by AI research laboratory DeepMind, can accurately predict the 3D structures of nearly all known proteins, showing great potential in the field of drug development. (几十年来，科学家们一直在努力预测蛋白质如何折叠成决定其功能的3D形状。然而，人工智能研究实验室DeepMind开发的AlphaFold2可以准确预测几乎所有已知蛋白质的3D结构，在药物开发领域显示出巨大的潜力)”可知，AlphaFold2可以预测蛋白质的折叠模式，因此在药物开发领域非常重要，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In his view, AI applications are not limited to fields like biology, chemistry or physics. Their range mainly depends on how well problems from the real world can be abstracted into a form that AI can learn and process, and whether there is sufficient real-world data to train and build deep learning networks. (在他看来，人工智能的应用并不局限于生物、化学或物理等领域。它们的范围主要取决于现实世界中的问题能在多大程度上抽象成人工智能可以学习和处理的形式，以及是否有足够的现实世界数据来训练和构建深度学习网络)”可知，杨茂君认为足够的现实世界数据的可用性决定了人工智能应用的潜力，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) might be the biggest winner of the Nobel Prize in2024. (人工智能可能是2024年诺贝尔奖的最大赢家)”可知，文章主要在围绕着AI在2024年诺贝尔奖中不但实现了零的突破，而且所占的比重很大来展开，所以C项“AI steals the show at the Nobel Prize (人工智能在诺贝尔奖上抢尽风头)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. ___16___ What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. ___17___ For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. ___18___ Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. ___19___ It’s simply not possible. ___20___ It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F. Another research also suggests younger children don’t learn well from screens. G. But parents shouldn’t overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了父母过度使用手机对子女语言发展的影响，并提供了改善亲子互动和减少屏幕时间的建议。 【16题详解】 上文提到“When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. (当屏幕被使用时，无论是父母还是孩子，家庭中会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。)” 家庭中使用屏幕时，会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。D项（这可能是语法能力和词汇量较低的原因之一。）直接指出了屏幕使用与语言能力下降之间的联系，符合上下文逻辑。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文提到“What's more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn't help their language skills. (此外，当孩子们和父母一起观看屏幕时，这对他们的语言技能没有帮助。)”带孩子看屏幕对他们的语言技能没有帮助。F项（另一项研究也表明，年幼的孩子从屏幕上学不到太多东西。）补充了相关研究结果，支持了上文的观点。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. (研究表明，父母在和孩子在一起时，应该尽量不要花太多时间在设备上。)”建议父母尽量减少在孩子面前使用手机的时间。A项（我们实际上并不需要一直使用手机。）进一步强调了减少手机依赖的重要性和原因，与上文建议的内容一致。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文提到“We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn’t. (我们生活在一个看似一切都紧急的世界，但实际上并非如此。)”我们生活的世界并非看起来那么紧急。E项（尽量不要给自己施加压力，要求自己立即回应所有事情。）指出不必要求自己立即回复所有的事。下文“It’s simply not possible. (这根本不可能。)”给出原因。因此E项承上启下。故选E。 【20题详解】 下文“It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid's development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. (修复永远不晚。多花点时间一起阅读或在无手机区域（如餐桌）相处。关心孩子的发展并关注这些建议，你已经做得很好了。)”提出修复孩子的习惯的具体建议，G选项（但如果父母或孩子已经花了太多时间在屏幕上，他们不应该过于焦虑。）承接下文，提出了一个观点，即父母不必因为过去过度使用屏幕而过于焦虑，因为还有修复的机会，这与下文提到的修复和积极行动的建议相呼应。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was 19, determined not to spend my last teenage year stuck in the suburbs, I took off with an Australian friend and we traveled around Europe for months. We stayed in the cheapest accommodation we could find and ___21___ bread, cheese and the occasional bottle of red. This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the Internet, when the primary contact with home was the ___22___ of mail from the general post office. Before I left, Mom had made me a small money bag to ___23___ around my neck. She’d also made me a sleeping sheet so that I could avoid ___24___ bedding. These gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time, even though she didn’t want me to go. It’s only now, as my 18-year-old daughter is ___25___ to leave on her own gap year trip, that I have more ___26___ for what Mom felt. Working multiple jobs and saving money, my daughter has researched where to stay, how to get around and what to do when she ___27___. She rarely asks for my opinion and I find myself ___28___ unsure of whether I should get involved or ___29___. I want to be ___30___ but not too involved. I want to be cool but not cold. I want to be like the perfect travel ___31___. When she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that could ___32___ her. As I had mine, I didn’t let myself think a lot about her not being here. Our family has already got ___33___ and soon it will just be me, my son and the cat. And I’m not quite ready for that. But this ___34___ is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter. I have promised not to bother her with messages, but at least I know she can ___35___ me when she wants to. 21. A. turned to B. asked for C. dreamed of D. lived on 22.

One day, Lily’s mother asked her to go to the store to buy some groceries. Excited by the thought of being responsible, Lily happily walked along the streets, her small steps filled with purpose and enthusiasm. The sun was shining, and the air was filled with the scent (香味) of freshly baked bread from the nearby bakery, adding to her excitement. As Lily walked into the store, she noticed a beautiful container of pink candies on the cashier’s desk. The candies were wrapped in sparking wrappers, and they seemed to call out to her. She really wanted to buy them. However, there was one problem-she didn’t have enough money to pay. Then, Lily came up with an idea. She told herself it was just a little white lie and that no one would ever know. It seemed like a simple solution to her dilemma (困境). She quickly put the candies into her shopping bag and paid for the groceries, hoping that her secret would be safe. That evening, Lily couldn’t help but feel regretful in her heart. The excitement of the day had faded, replaced by a heavy feeling of guilt. She knew that what she had done wasn’t right. Her conscience (良知) was eating away at her, causing her to lose sleep and feel restless. The candies, once a source of joy, now sat heavily in her stomach, a reminder of her actions. The next morning, Lily’s mother noticed her daughter’s troubled expression and asked her what was wrong. Lily hesitated for a moment, the weight of her secret almost too much to bear. But then, the truth poured out of her mouth like a waterfall. “Mom, I have something to tell you,” Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes, “I took some candies from the store without paying for them. I'm really sorry.” Her voice was small, but the sincerity in her words was clear. Her mother’s face softened, and she pulled Lily into a warm hug. “Lily, I am proud of you for telling me the truth,” her mother said gently. “But it’s important to understand that lying, even about something small, can hurt others and ourselves. Let’s go back to the store and make things right.” 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。 Shortly, Lily and her mother were back at the store. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Lily understood the importance of telling the truth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例： Shortly, Lily and her mother were back at the store. Lily’s heart was pounding, but her mother gave her the courage she needed. They approached the cashier desk, and with a trembling voice, Lily explained what she had done and admitted her mistake. The store owner, surprised by the little girl’s honesty, smiled kindly and praised her for her integrity. He even gave her a bag of candies as a reward for her bravery and honesty. Lily’s face lit up with relief and gratefulness as she handed over the money, feeling a heavy weight lift off her shoulders. From that day on, Lily understood the importance of telling the truth. The experience taught her that honesty, even when it’s difficult, is always the best policy. She learned that while mistakes are part of life, it’s how we correct them that builds up our character. Lily’s mother’s support and the store owner’s understanding left a lasting impression on her. She promised never to let a “little white lie” cloud her judgment again. The pink candies incident remained a precious memory, a reminder of the power of truth and the warmth of a mother’s love in guiding her through life’s lessons. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。八岁的Lily没有付钱偷拿了商店的糖果，内心愧疚难安。最终，在母亲的支持下，她勇敢地向店主承认错误，得到了谅解和奖励。这次经历让她深刻明白了诚实的重要性，并学会了如何面对和改正错误。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不久，Lily和她妈妈回到了商店。”可知，第一段可描写Lily承认错误，得到店主的原谅和奖励。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，Lily明白了说真话的重要性。”可知，第二段可描写Lily从这件事上得到的教训和道理以及对她的影响。 2.续写线索：承认错误——得到原谅和奖励——感觉轻松——学到的道理——承诺 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走近：approach/come close to ②承认：admit/acknowledge ③微笑：smile/grin 情绪类 感激：gratefulness/appreciation/thankfulness 惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lily’s face lit up with relief and gratefulness as she handed over the money, feeling a heavy weight lift off her shoulders.（由连接词as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] She learned that while mistakes are part of life, it’s how we correct them that builds up our character.（由连接词that引导的名词性从句作learned的宾语；while引导让步状语从句；强调句型和how引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二下学期3月份月考 英语试题 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The 9th Asian Winter Games will kick off on February 7, 2025 in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. There will be 34 countries and regions — the most in the event’s history — taking part in the Games. Here are some fun facts about the Games. Torch (火炬) The torch stands 735mm tall and is inspired by a beautiful lilac (丁香花), Harbin’s city flower. The theme of its design, “Surging”, aims to express the strong energy of life in nature. It shows that the 9th Asian Winter Games will be filled with enthusiasm and passion. The design of the torch takes the form of a flowering lilac, integrating colors such as China Red, Lilac Purple and Snow White, symbolizing the sincerity, warmth, openness, and inclusiveness of Heilongjiang province and the characteristics of the host city, Harbin. Emblem (徽章) The emblem, named “Breakthrough”, combines symbols of short track speed skaters, flowing ribbons (丝带) and lilacs. Its colors, in shades of blue and purple, reflect the beauty of sunlight on ice and snow. The figure’s shape looks like the Chinese character “九”, representing the 9th Games, and “合”, representing unity and friendship. Through this emblem, Harbin extends a warm welcome and expresses hopes for shared growth among Asian countries. Mascots (吉祥物) The mascots for the Games, Binbin and Nini, are two lovable Siberian tigers. Binbin represents ice sports and wears ice skates, while Nini, representing snow sports, rides a snowboard. Their names — “Binbin” from “Harbin” and “Nini” from the Chinese word for “you” — come together to form a message: “Harbin welcomes you! ” These tiger mascots were inspired by two real tigers born in Harbin and represent values of strength, courage and positivity. Events The upcoming Games will feature 64 events in total, with 31% making their first appearance, including new events in speed skating, short track speed skating and ski mountaineering.

B My mother who wasn’t good at driving and using technology, planned to drive for Uber, an online platform that provides ride-hailing (打车) services. One day on her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with a rider named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, the panic seized her — the silent navigation (导航), the distracting screen and the swipe/ tap confusion. It was just too much. Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride, nor did she contact him to explain. She turned her car and raced toward home. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check her text messages. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and had seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. Matthew called again. She hesitated, and then picked up the phone. “Why are you driving in the opposite direction?” he asked. “Listen,” she explained. “This is my first time with Uber, and I don’t know how to use it.” Then Mom found the destination and Matthew got in the car. Matthew was a handsome man in his early thirties with a kind face. Mom told Matthew he would need to manage the technology if he wanted to arrive on time. “So, start the trip,” she requested and tossed her phone to Matthew. He was glad of service. They laughed, talked and eventually arrived at Yorkdale — although at the wrong entrance. “I’m sorry,” she said. “It’s OK,” laughed Matthew. “Everyone is a beginner at some point.” He ended the trip, returned her phone and started to climb out of the car. “Matthew,” she called from her window, “you’d better not rate me one star.” “I’m rating you five right now!” he said and he really did. Matthew disappeared into the mall, smiling. She smiled, too, proud that her first ride was such a success. 4. Why did the author’s mother turn off her phone? A. She was at a loss what to do then. B.

Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 8. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging. 9 What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life requires to be planned carefully. B. Life doesn’t come with clear guidance. C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected. D. Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting. 10. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life? A. By avoiding making any choice. B. By focusing on instant end results. C. By seeking instructions from others. D. By moving forward with confidence. 11. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author? A. The value of hard work in life. B. The achievement of life goals. C. The journey of living one’s life. D. The joy of staying with families. D Artificial intelligence (AI) might be the biggest winner of the Nobel Prize in 2024. US scientist John Hopfield and British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries and inventions in machine learning that paved the way for the AI rapid growth, according to Reuters. In 1982, Hopfield created a network that helps computers store and recall patterns, similar to how our brains remember things. A year later, Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine, which allows computers to learn independently to recognize patterns in data, such as identifying specific objects in images. As for the Nobel Prize in chemistry, US scientists David Baker and John Jumper, along with British computer scientist Demis Hassabis, won the prize. Half the prize was awarded to Baker “for computational protein design” while the other half was shared by Jumper and Hassabis for their development of the AI model AlphaFold2. Scientists struggled for decades to predict how proteins fold into their 3D shapes that determine their function. However, AlphaFold2, developed by AI research laboratory DeepMind, can accurately predict the 3D structures of nearly all known proteins, showing great potential in the field of drug development. “AI can be a powerful tool for solving problems that involve obtaining outputs from inputs, showing its great potential in scientific research, ” Professor Yang Maojun from Tsinghua University told Science and Technology Daily. In his view, AI applications are not limited to fields like biology, chemistry or physics. Their range mainly depends on how well problems from the real world can be abstracted into a form that AI can learn and process, and whether there is sufficient real-world data to train and build deep learning networks. AI's importance in scientific research is increasingly evident. Yang believes that scientists should actively accept this trend while remaining aware of AI's limitations. Hinton expressed a similar concern at the Nobel press conference. “We also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences, particularly the threat of these things getting out of control, ” he said. “Humans carry the responsibility for using this new technology in a safe and ethical (合乎道德的) way, for the greatest benefit of humankind,” said Ellen Moons, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics. 12. What was John Hopfield’s contribution to the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics? A. Inventing a new learning machine. B. Designing a new type of data processor. C. Creating an AI model for image analysis. D. Developing a network for pattern storage. 13. Why is AlphaFold2 important in the field of drug development? A. It can forecast protein folding patterns. B. It can produce new proteins for drug use. C. It can identify proteins related to diseases. D. It can analyze the genetic orders of proteins. 14. What may determine the potential of AI applications according to Yang Maojun? A The accuracy of AI training data. B. The effectiveness of machine learning. C. The availability of enough real-world data. D. The level of real-world problem settlement. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. AI also has its weak points. B. AI should benefit humankind. C. AI steals the show at the Nobel Prize. D. AI may run out of control in the future. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. ___16___ What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. ___17___ For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. ___18___ Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. ___19___ It’s simply not possible. ___20___ It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F.

One day, Lily’s mother asked her to go to the store to buy some groceries. Excited by the thought of being responsible, Lily happily walked along the streets, her small steps filled with purpose and enthusiasm. The sun was shining, and the air was filled with the scent (香味) of freshly baked bread from the nearby bakery, adding to her excitement. As Lily walked into the store, she noticed a beautiful container of pink candies on the cashier’s desk. The candies were wrapped in sparking wrappers, and they seemed to call out to her. She really wanted to buy them. However, there was one problem-she didn’t have enough money to pay. Then, Lily came up with an idea. She told herself it was just a little white lie and that no one would ever know. It seemed like a simple solution to her dilemma (困境). She quickly put the candies into her shopping bag and paid for the groceries, hoping that her secret would be safe. That evening, Lily couldn’t help but feel regretful in her heart. The excitement of the day had faded, replaced by a heavy feeling of guilt. She knew that what she had done wasn’t right. Her conscience (良知) was eating away at her, causing her to lose sleep and feel restless. The candies, once a source of joy, now sat heavily in her stomach, a reminder of her actions. The next morning, Lily’s mother noticed her daughter’s troubled expression and asked her what was wrong. Lily hesitated for a moment, the weight of her secret almost too much to bear. But then, the truth poured out of her mouth like a waterfall. “Mom, I have something to tell you,” Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes, “I took some candies from the store without paying for them. I'm really sorry.” Her voice was small, but the sincerity in her words was clear. Her mother’s face softened, and she pulled Lily into a warm hug. “Lily, I am proud of you for telling me the truth,” her mother said gently. “But it’s important to understand that lying, even about something small, can hurt others and ourselves. Let’s go back to the store and make things right.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Shortly, Lily and her mother were back at the store. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Lily understood the importance of telling the truth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
