Known as the Pretty Bus Stop on Lankelly Lane in Cornwall, it was given its first transformation by Jane Tinsley after some damage. Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht (帆船) race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter. Sarah Worne, an artist who has been involved since 2021, recently created a plant-themed design called Thyme to Stop, which features real and painted pots of seedlings and plants, giving the stop the feel of a greenhouse. “It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.” Sarah enjoys the project because it brings joy to others. “I always like keeping busy and doing things that make people smile, just for fun.” she added. The bus stop even has a dedicated Facebook page, with more than 2,700 followers, showcasing its many designs over the years. “We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said. Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.” 4. What does the underlined word “makeovers” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Decorations. B. Achievements. C. Inspirations. D. Traditions. 5. What is the purpose of Sarah’s design? A. To display her talent for art. B. To warm the plants in winter. C. To bring warmth to people. D. To provide a place for reading. 6. What can be learned about the bus stop from paragraph 5? A. It boosts a sense of community. B. It owes its popularity to Facebook. C. It is owned by Fowey River Lions. D. It is funded by the local community. 7. What is Sarah most likely to do before decorating a bus stop? A. Contact qualified designers. B. Apply to the town council C. Gain its owner’s permission. D. Clarify its current location. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国福伊镇一个公交站二十年来被当地人创意装饰，以及艺术家莎拉参与其中的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A bus stop in Fowey, England, has been receiving artistic makeovers from creative locals for two decades.(20年来，英国福伊的一个公交车站一直受到当地富有创意的人的艺术makeovers)”以及第二段“Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter.(在接下来的20年里，这个车站被装饰成各种主题，包括茶室、帆船赛、图书馆，甚至有一次还出现了猫王主题的车站。志愿者们经常站出来给它一个新的面貌，尤其是在冬天)”可知，此处指公交车站被进行艺术装饰，“makeovers”意思是“装饰”。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.”(“进入2月天气很冷，每个人都需要一点温暖，”莎拉说。“这个设计让人们在等车的时候感觉很舒适。”)”可知，莎拉的设计目的是给人们带来温暖。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said.(“我们喜欢让社区参与进来。例如，我挑战福伊河狮子队进行设计，他们将在今年的复活节进行尝试，这让邻居们聚在一起，讨论想法，朝着共同的目标努力，”莎拉说)”可知，这个公交车站增强了社区意识。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.”(莎拉曾想过装饰其他公交车站，但还没有抽出时间和车主谈谈。“福伊的公交车站实际上归镇议会所有。你确实要弄清楚谁拥有公交车站，我还没有走那条路——但我确实注意到了其他几个可以亮起来的公交车站”)”可推知，莎拉在装饰公交车站之前最有可能先获得车主的许可。故选C。 C It would be hard, Gabriel Garcia Márquez thought, to do justice to the surreal tale on screen. In his opinion, One Hundred Years of Solitude (孤独), his landmark novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours, which makes challenges such as being filmed in Colombia and entirely in Spanish pale into insignificance. Netflix, a popular streaming service, has honoured two of those three statements. The streamer claims that its new adaptation of Márquez’s novel — the first on screen — is “one of the most expensive productions in Latin American history”. Considering how much viewers actually want, it has chosen to shorten Márquez’s novel into 16 episodes, with the first section released last December. The novel presents significant challenges to film-makers. It helped Márquez win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and has sold some 50 million copies worldwide. With affection comes expectation. When the TV show was announced, fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified retelling. Those remarks point to the other test for adaptors, which is the great complexity of the novel. Set in around 1850 — 1950, the book tracks the fortunes of the Buendia family across several generations, from the time José Arcadio and his wife, Ursula, establish the town of Macondo to the moment their last descendant (后代) dies, with civil wars, modernisation, economic success and ruin in between. When Netflix approached Alex García Lopez, a director, about the project, he was excited but uneasy. “I remember the book having very little dialogue. I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place. I just thought: ‘This is just not really doable, is it?’” It was, José Rivera, one of the screenwriters, decided that the story should proceed in the order of time and that it needed a storyteller. It quotes from the novel word for word. “This approach allowed us to stay true to the book’s core and its unique style,” says MrLópez. As a result, the film-makers have grasped the strangeness of the story, in which events are at once fantastical and commonplace. 8. Which is the biggest challenge to put the novel on screen? A. Lacking Spanish-speaking actors. B. Budget limitations on adapting it. C. An absence of a proper filming site. D. Representing it in a short format. 9. What can be inferred about the novel from paragraph 3? A. It is complex but widely celebrated. B. It focuses on economic changes in history. C. It failed to meet fans’ expectations online. D. It will be followed by a simplified version. 10. What does Mr Lopez think of Rivera’s suggestion? A. Cost-effective. B. Time-consuming. C. Workable. D. Confusing. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gabriel Garcia Márquez: A Literary Genius on Screen. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude: A Cultural Phenomenon. C. A Heated Debate: Bringing Márauez’s Masterdiece to Screer. D. Filming the Unfilmable: Netflix Tackles Márquez’s Masterpiece. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Netflix将马尔克斯的《百年孤独》改编成电视剧所面临的挑战及采取的改编方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In his opinion, One Hundred Years of Solitude (孤独), his landmark novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours, which makes challenges such as being filmed in Colombia and entirely in Spanish pale into insignificance.(在他看来，他1967年的里程碑式小说《百年孤独》需要100个小时的播放时间，这使得在哥伦比亚拍摄和完全用西班牙语拍摄等挑战相形见绌)”以及第二段中“Considering how much viewers actually want, it has chosen to shorten Márquez’s novel into 16 episodes, with the first section released last December.(考虑到观众的实际需求，Netflix选择将马尔克斯的小说缩短为16集，第一集于去年12月发布)”可知，将这部小说搬上荧幕最大的挑战是以短片的形式呈现它。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The novel presents significant challenges to film-makers. It helped Márquez win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and has sold some 50 million copies worldwide. With affection comes expectation. When the TV show was announced, fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified retelling. Those remarks point to the other test for adaptors, which is the great complexity of the novel.(这部小说给电影制作人带来了重大挑战。它帮助马尔克斯在1982年获得诺贝尔文学奖，并在全球售出了约5000万册。有了喜爱就有了期待。当这部电视剧宣布时，粉丝们迅速在网上表达了他们对过于简化的重述的担忧。这些评论指出了改编者面临的另一个考验，那就是这部小说的复杂性)”可推知，这部小说很复杂，但广受赞誉。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I remember the book having very little dialogue. I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place. I just thought: “This is just not really doable, is it?’” It was, José Rivera, one of the screenwriters, decided that the story should proceed in the order of time and that it needed a storyteller. It quotes from the novel word for word. “This approach allowed us to stay true to the book’s core and its unique style,” says MrLópez.(“我记得这本书几乎没有对话。我记得这是一本非常存在主义的书，到处跳跃。我只是想：“这真的不可行，是吗？”编剧之一何塞·里维拉决定，故事应该按照时间顺序进行，需要一个讲故事的人。它逐字引用了小说中的内容。洛佩兹先生说：“这种方法让我们忠实于这本书的核心和它独特的风格。”)”可推知，洛佩兹先生认为里维拉的建议是可行的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It would be hard, Gabriel Garcia Márquez thought, to do justice to the surreal tale on screen. In his opinion, One Hundred Years of Solitude (孤独), his landmark novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours, which makes challenges such as being filmed in Colombia and entirely in Spanish pale into insignificance.(加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯认为，在银幕上公正地呈现这个超现实的故事是很困难的。在他看来，他1967年的里程碑式小说《百年孤独》需要100个小时的播放时间，这使得在哥伦比亚拍摄和完全用西班牙语拍摄等挑战相形见绌)”结合文章主要说明了Netflix将马尔克斯的小说《百年孤独》搬上荧幕，介绍了这部小说的复杂性以及拍摄面临的挑战。可知，D选项“拍摄无法拍摄的电影：Netflix挑战马尔克斯的杰作”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Described in Nature Communications, a new approach called the Toxic (有毒的) Male Technique (TMT) works by genetically engineering male insects to produce insect-specific poisonous proteins in their body, which have little effect on themselves. But when these males mate with females, the proteins are passed on, greatly reducing the duration of life of females and their ability to spread diseases. Disease-carrying insects pose a growing threat to global health and agriculture, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of infections, and costing billions in health care and crop damage annually. In mosquitoes like Anopheles gambiae, only the females bite and spread diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika and yellow fever. Pesticides (农药) face declining effectiveness due to resistance and have caused harm to non-target species and ecosystems. Genetic bio-control has appeared as a hopeful choice. Current techniques like the Sterile (不育的) Insect Technique (SIT) or insects carrying deadly genes work by releasing large numbers of sterile or genetically engineered males to mate with the wild females. While these mated females produce no descendant insects or only male descendants, they continue to blood-feed and spread diseases until they die naturally meaning populations of biting females only decrease when the next generation emerges. By immediately reducing the biting female population, the TMT offers significant advantages over competing genetic bio-control methods. Laboratory tests using fruit flies showed that females mated with TMT males had their life length shortened by 37%-64% compared to those mated with unengineered males. Computer models predict that applying the TMT to Aedes aegypti, a mosquito species primarily responsible for spreading dengue and Zika, could reduce blood-feeding rates by 40% to 60% compared to current methods. The current study was conducted in Associate Professor Maciej Maselko’s lab and the proof of concept for this approach for lowering the populations of troublesome species. “We provides still need to apply it to mosquitoes and conduct thorough safety testing to ensure there are no risks to humans or other non-target species,” says Maselko. 12. What can be learned about the TMT? A. It is based on traditional techniques. B. It poses a real threat to male insects. C. It is replacing pesticides worldwide. D. It offers hope against harmful insects. 13. What makes the TMT different from the SIT? A. The reason it was created. B. The way it functions. C. The popularity it has achieved. D. The insect it targets. 14. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply? A. The challenges facing the TMT. B. The decrease in insect populations. C. The huge potential of the TMT. D. The great power of computer models. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To call for a prohibition on chemical pesticides. B. To introduce a new genetic bio-control approach. C. To discuss the history of insect-killing techniques. D. To highlight the dangers of disease-carrying insects. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“有毒雄性技术（TMT）”的新型基因生物防治方法及其优势和应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Described in Nature Communications, a new approach called the Toxic (有毒的) Male Technique (TMT) works by genetically engineering male insects to produce insect-specific poisonous proteins in their body, which have little effect on themselves. But when these males mate with females, the proteins are passed on, greatly reducing the duration of life of females and their ability to spread diseases.(《自然通讯》杂志上描述了一种名为“有毒雄性技术（TMT）”的新方法，该方法通过基因工程使雄性昆虫体内产生对昆虫特有的有毒蛋白质，这些蛋白质对它们自身几乎没有影响。但是当这些雄性与雌性交配时，蛋白质会传递下去，大大缩短雌性的寿命和传播疾病的能力)”以及第三段中“Genetic bio-control has appeared as a hopeful choice.(基因生物防治已成为一个有希望的选择)”可知，TMT为对抗有害昆虫提供了希望。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Current techniques like the Sterile (不育的) Insect Technique (SIT) or insects carrying deadly genes work by releasing large numbers of sterile or genetically engineered males to mate with the wild females. While these mated females produce no descendant insects or only male descendants, they continue to blood-feed and spread diseases until they die naturally meaning populations of biting females only decrease when the next generation emerges.(目前的技术，如绝育昆虫技术（SIT）或携带致命基因的昆虫，通过释放大量绝育或基因工程改造的雄性与野生雌性交配。虽然这些交配后的雌性不会产生后代昆虫或只产生雄性后代，但它们会继续吸血并传播疾病，直到自然死亡，这意味着叮咬的雌性数量只有在下一代出现时才会减少)”以及“By immediately reducing the biting female population, the TMT offers significant advantages over competing genetic bio-control methods.(通过立即减少叮咬雌性的数量，TMT相比其他竞争性的基因生物控制方法具有显著优势)”可知，TMT与SIT的不同之处在于它的作用方式。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Laboratory tests using fruit flies showed that females mated with TMT males had their life length shortened by 37%-64% compared to those mated with unengineered males. Computer models predict that applying the TMT to Aedes aegypti, a mosquito species primarily responsible for spreading dengue and Zika, could reduce blood-feeding rates by 40% to 60% compared to current methods.(使用果蝇进行的实验室测试表明，与未改造的雄性交配的雌性相比，与TMT雄性交配的雌性寿命缩短了37%-64%。计算机模型预测，与目前的方法相比，将TMT应用于主要传播登革热和寨卡病毒的埃及伊蚊，可使吸血率降低40%至60%)”可推知，第4段中的数据暗示了TMT的巨大潜力。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Described in Nature Communications, a new approach called the Toxic (有毒的) Male Technique (TMT) works by genetically engineering male insects to produce insect-specific poisonous proteins in their body, which have little effect on themselves. But when these males mate with females, the proteins are passed on, greatly reducing the duration of life of females and their ability to spread diseases.(《自然通讯》杂志上描述了一种名为“有毒雄性技术（TMT）”的新方法，该方法通过基因工程使雄性昆虫体内产生对昆虫特有的有毒蛋白质，这些蛋白质对它们自身几乎没有影响。但是当这些雄性与雌性交配时，蛋白质会传递下去，大大缩短雌性的寿命和传播疾病的能力)”结合文章主要介绍了一种名为“有毒雄性技术（TMT）”的新方法，该方法通过基因工程使雄性昆虫体内产生对昆虫特有的有毒蛋白质，从而缩短与它们交配的雌性昆虫的寿命和传播疾病的能力。可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种新的基因生物控制方法。故选B。 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。 Let’s be honest here: Impulse (冲动) buying is kind of fun — at least in the moment. People impulsively spend an average of $ 150 every month. That adds up to an extra $ 1,800 spent every year and about $ 108,000 in a lifetime. Ouch! ____16____ Let’s find out. ● Make a budget and stick to it. First things first: You need a budget. ____17____ A budget isn’t a magic wand (魔法棒) that will suddenly make all of your money behave. It’s on you to tell your money where to go each month and then follow through with that plan. ● Give yourself permission to spend. Yes, I just told you to stick to your budget — and you always should. ____18____ You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it, so that reward or treat isn’t an impulse buy anymore. ● Wait a day or longer before you make a purchase. These days it’s so easy to see something we want and click, click, click it into a purchase. One way to help here is to give yourself a day or so before you buy something. Then ask yourself if you’ll actually use this thing and if you can pay for it now. ____19____ Don’t let a countdown rush you into buying anything! A sale will come back around. Trust me. ● ____20____ Don’t let your emotions control your spending habits! This can lead to impulsive shopping, whether to reward yourself on a good day or to deal with a bad one. We’ve all been there before. How can you fix it? Whether you’re celebrating or trying to cheer yourself up, don’t buy anything when your emotions are riding a roller coaster. A. Then you have to actually keep to it. B. Make your budget as low as possible. C. Avoid shopping when you’re emotional. D. Why is it so easy to buy things on impulse? E. How can we stop the impulsive shopping habit? F. And watch out for deals that are only good for 24 hours. G. But it’s also important to throw a little fun money in there. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出冲动消费虽然当下有趣，但长期来看花费巨大，随后提供了几条阻止冲动购物习惯的建议，包括制定并遵守预算、允许自己适度消费、购物前等待一天或更久以及避免情绪化购物等。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“That adds up to an extra $ 1,800 spent every year and about $ 108,000 in a lifetime. Ouch! (这意味着每年额外花费1800美元，一生中大约花费108000美元。哎哟！)”以及空后的“Let’s find out. (让我们来看看。)”和下文的建议可知，此处应是提出如何阻止冲动购物习惯这一问题，从而引出下文的内容。E选项“How can we stop the impulsive shopping habit? (我们如何才能阻止冲动购物的习惯呢？)”符合语境，能够承接前文冲动消费的高昂花费，引出下文的解决办法。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“First things first: You need a budget. (首先：你需要一个预算。)”以及空后的“A budget isn’t a magic wand (魔法棒) that will suddenly make all of your money behave. It’s on you to tell your money where to go each month and then follow through with that plan. (预算并不是一根能突然让你所有的钱都听话的魔法棒。每月告诉你的钱该花在哪里，然后按照这个计划执行，这取决于你自己。)”可知，此处应强调制定预算后要实际遵守。A选项“Then you have to actually keep to it. (然后你必须实际遵守它。)”中的“it”指代前文的“a budget”，且与空后内容衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Yes, I just told you to stick to your budget — and you always should. (是的，我刚刚告诉你要遵守预算——你也应该一直这样做。)”以及空后的“You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it, so that reward or treat isn’t an impulse buy anymore. (你已经为它预算了一小部分开销，所以这种奖励或款待就不再是冲动消费了。)”可知，此处应说明在遵守预算的同时，也要有一些用于娱乐的花费。G选项“But it’s also important to throw a little fun money in there. (但在预算中加入一点娱乐资金也很重要。)”中的“But”与前文形成转折，且引出下文关于为娱乐花费做预算的内容，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Then ask yourself if you’ll actually use this thing and if you can pay for it now. (然后问问自己，你是否真的会用这个东西，以及你现在是否能支付得起。)”以及空后的“Don’t let a countdown rush you into buying anything! (不要让倒计时催促你买任何东西！)”可知，此处应提到要警惕那些有时间限制的交易。F选项“And watch out for deals that are only good for 24 hours. (还要注意那些只在24小时内有效的交易。)”中的“deals that are only good for 24 hours”与空后“countdown”相呼应，符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，与其他段落相同，应为祈使句，根据空后的“Don’t let your emotions control your spending habits! This can lead to impulsive shopping, whether to reward yourself on a good day or to deal with a bad one. We’ve all been there before. How can you fix it? Whether you’re celebrating or trying to cheer yourself up, don’t buy anything when your emotions are riding a roller coaster (别让情绪左右你的消费习惯！无论是在顺境时想犒劳自己，还是在逆境中想借此排解，情绪都可能引发冲动消费。这种情况我们都遇到过。那该如何改善呢？不管你是在庆祝喜事，还是想让自己开心起来，当情绪像坐过山车一样起伏不定时，千万别买任何东西。)”可知，本段讲述的内容应与避免在情绪化时购物相关。C选项“Avoid shopping when you’re emotional.

Pan-fried on only one side, the dough (面团) for these dumplings is both chewy and ____37____ (taste).

It was such a sweet ____39____ (pleasant) to eat as much as I wanted and still be a skinny child. ____40____ (fill) with pork, cabbage, and a rich chicken soup, the dumplings made every bite wonderful. The secret of these pot stickers is to reduce the homemade chicken soup until it is concentrated enough ____41____ (firm) up when refrigerated.

The pot stickers are first pan-fried on one side for a few minutes until they turn a beautiful golden color. Then, a small amount of water ____43____ (add), and the pan is covered.

Gently 45. that##which 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了锅贴饺和葱油饼的制作方法及锅贴饺的美味秘诀。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：大约在同一时间，我还接触到了葱油饼。at about the same time“大约在同一时间”，为固定搭配，句首单词首字母大写。故填At。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些饺子只在一面煎，面团既耐嚼又好吃。根据空前both chewy and可知，空处需用形容词作表语，taste的形容词为tasty“美味的”。故填tasty。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：当我大约11岁的时候，我有时可以一口气吃掉一整打这些煎饺。根据空后full dozen可知，此处表示一整打，full以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a，表示泛指。故填a。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：吃我想吃的东西，还能做一个瘦瘦的孩子，这是一件多么令人愉快的事情啊。根据空前such a sweet可知，空处需用名词，pleasant的名词为pleasure“愉快的事情”，由空前a可知，空处名词用单数。故填pleasure。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：饺子里塞满了猪肉、卷心菜和浓郁的鸡汤，每一口都很美味。本句已有谓语动词made，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，动词fill与其逻辑主语dumplings之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词filled作状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Filled。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些锅贴的秘诀是将自制的鸡汤浓缩到足够凝固的程度，以便冷藏。“adj. + enough to do sth.”是固定结构，意为“足够……去做某事”，所以空处需用动词不定式作结果状语。故填to firm。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：然后将固体汤切成不规则的小块，在包饺子前将其混合到馅料中。piece“块”为可数名词，数量大于一，空处需用名词复数。故填pieces。 【43题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：然后，加入少量的水，盖上锅盖。根据前后句时态可知，空处所在句子用一般现在时态，主语a small amount of water和谓语动词add是被动关系，所以空处需用一般现在时态的被动语态：am/is/are done，主语不可数，所以be动词需用is。故填is added。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：轻轻咬一口饺子，现在与猪肉馅的味道结合在一起的美味汤汁就会流出来。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词bite，gentle的副词为gently“轻轻地”，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Gently。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词soup，指物，关系词替代先行词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。故填that/which。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校将举办以“我手绘家乡”为主题的绘画作品展。请给你校留字生Chris写封邮件，请他提供作品。内容包括： (1)展览介绍； (2)作品要求。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris.

Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration. The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.” Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different. Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing. “I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story. Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes. 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。 “Just start writing down anything,” I told myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It wasn’t long before the editor replied. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Just start writing down anything.” It old myself. My fingers then responded by typing a sentence then two. The words flowed from my fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment. I found myself absorbed in the process, letting my thoughts and emotions guide my review. And soon enough, I had a complete draft before me. As I read through what I had written, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. It wasn’t perfect, but I captured the essence of the novel. With a deep breath, I hit the “send”button. Then, all I could do was wait. Meanwhile, I felt worried that it wouldn’t be accepted by the editor. It wasn’t long before the editor replied. “Hi, Carol. I did a quick read through of your review. It looks great the editor excitedly. Upon hearing these words, all my doubts were pushed aside and replaced by newfound confidence. From that day forward, I embraced more opportunities to write reviews. It was a journey of growth and self-discovery, one that taught me the power of stepping out of my comfort zone and trusting in my own abilities. And so, my humble beginnings as an occasional poet and library assistant paved the way for a new chapter in writing journey. I’m grateful for the initial chance the editor gave me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为图书馆工作人员和业余诗人，向地区杂志投稿诗歌后，意外收到编辑的书评撰写邀请。作者起初因缺乏经验和自我怀疑而不安，但还是接受了挑战，在认真阅读小说后完成书评并发送。编辑回复认可，这让作者重拾信心，开启了写作新篇章，也让作者明白走出舒适区和相信自己能力的重要性。 详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘就从写下任何东西开始吧，’我告诉自己。”可知，第一段可描写作者克服心理障碍，开始撰写书评，并最终完成初稿的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“没过多久，编辑就回复了。”可知，第二段可描写编辑对作者书评的积极反馈，以及作者因此获得的信心和成长。 2. 续写线索：开始写作——克服焦虑——完成初稿——发送书评——等待回复——收到积极反馈——获得信心和成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①点击“发送”按钮：hit the “send” button/click the “send” button/press the “send” button ②抓住机会：embrace opportunities/seize opportunities/take up opportunities ③为……铺平道路：pave the way for/smooth the way for/clear the path for 情绪类 ①感到担心：feel worried/be concerned ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】The words flowed from my fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment.（运用了as if引导的方式状语从句） 【高分句型2】As I read through what I had written, a sense of accomplishment washed over me.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河南省信阳市2024-2025学年高二下学期期末质量检测 英语试题 满分150分，考试时间120分钟 考生注意： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答: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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效. 3.非选择题的作答:用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区城内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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纸上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Known as the Pretty Bus Stop on Lankelly Lane in Cornwall, it was given its first transformation by Jane Tinsley after some damage. Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room, a yacht (帆船) race, a library, and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look, especially during the winter. Sarah Worne, an artist who has been involved since 2021, recently created a plant-themed design called Thyme to Stop, which features real and painted pots of seedlings and plants, giving the stop the feel of a greenhouse. “It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,” Sarah said. “This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.” Sarah enjoys the project because it brings joy to others. “I always like keeping busy and doing things that make people smile, just for fun.” she added. The bus stop even has a dedicated Facebook page, with more than 2,700 followers, showcasing its many designs over the years. “We love getting the community involved. For example, I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter, which has led neighbors to come together, discuss ideas, and work towards a common goal,” Sarah said. Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn’t yet taken the time to talk to the owners. “The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council. You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven’t gone down that route — but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up.” 4. What does the underlined word “makeovers” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Decorations. B. Achievements. C. Inspirations. D. Traditions. 5. What is the purpose of Sarah’s design? A. To display her talent for art. B. To warm the plants in winter. C. To bring warmth to people. D. To provide a place for reading. 6. What can be learned about the bus stop from paragraph 5? A. It boosts a sense of community. B. It owes its popularity to Facebook. C. It is owned by Fowey River Lions. D. It is funded by the local community. 7. What is Sarah most likely to do before decorating a bus stop? A. Contact qualified designers. B. Apply to the town council C. Gain its owner’s permission. D Clarify its current location. C It would be hard, Gabriel Garcia Márquez thought, to do justice to the surreal tale on screen. In his opinion, One Hundred Years of Solitude (孤独), his landmark novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours, which makes challenges such as being filmed in Colombia and entirely in Spanish pale into insignificance. Netflix, a popular streaming service, has honoured two of those three statements. The streamer claims that its new adaptation of Márquez’s novel — the first on screen — is “one of the most expensive productions in Latin American history”. Considering how much viewers actually want, it has chosen to shorten Márquez’s novel into 16 episodes, with the first section released last December. The novel presents significant challenges to film-makers. It helped Márquez win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and has sold some 50 million copies worldwide. With affection comes expectation. When the TV show was announced, fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified retelling. Those remarks point to the other test for adaptors, which is the great complexity of the novel. Set in around 1850 — 1950, the book tracks the fortunes of the Buendia family across several generations, from the time José Arcadio and his wife, Ursula, establish the town of Macondo to the moment their last descendant (后代) dies, with civil wars, modernisation, economic success and ruin in between. When Netflix approached Alex García Lopez, a director, about the project, he was excited but uneasy. “I remember the book having very little dialogue. I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place. I just thought: ‘This is just not really doable, is it?’” It was, José Rivera, one of the screenwriters, decided that the story should proceed in the order of time and that it needed a storyteller. It quotes from the novel word for word. “This approach allowed us to stay true to the book’s core and its unique style,” says MrLópez. As a result, the film-makers have grasped the strangeness of the story, in which events are at once fantastical and commonplace. 8. Which is the biggest challenge to put the novel on screen? A. Lacking Spanish-speaking actors. B Budget limitations on adapting it. C. An absence of a proper filming site. D. Representing it in a short format. 9. What can be inferred about the novel from paragraph 3? A. It is complex but widely celebrated. B. It focuses on economic changes in history. C. It failed to meet fans’ expectations online. D. It will be followed by a simplified version. 10. What does Mr Lopez think of Rivera’s suggestion? A. Cost-effective. B. Time-consuming. C. Workable. D. Confusing. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Gabriel Garcia Márquez: A Literary Genius on Screen. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude: A Cultural Phenomenon. C. A Heated Debate: Bringing Márauez’s Masterdiece to Screer. D. Filming the Unfilmable: Netflix Tackles Márquez’s Masterpiece. D Described in Nature Communications, a new approach called the Toxic (有毒的) Male Technique (TMT) works by genetically engineering male insects to produce insect-specific poisonous proteins in their body, which have little effect on themselves. But when these males mate with females, the proteins are passed on, greatly reducing the duration of life of females and their ability to spread diseases. Disease-carrying insects pose a growing threat to global health and agriculture, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of infections, and costing billions in health care and crop damage annually. In mosquitoes like Anopheles gambiae, only the females bite and spread diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika and yellow fever. Pesticides (农药) face declining effectiveness due to resistance and have caused harm to non-target species and ecosystems. Genetic bio-control has appeared as a hopeful choice. Current techniques like the Sterile (不育的) Insect Technique (SIT) or insects carrying deadly genes work by releasing large numbers of sterile or genetically engineered males to mate with the wild females. While these mated females produce no descendant insects or only male descendants, they continue to blood-feed and spread diseases until they die naturally meaning populations of biting females only decrease when the next generation emerges. By immediately reducing the biting female population, the TMT offers significant advantages over competing genetic bio-control methods. Laboratory tests using fruit flies showed that females mated with TMT males had their life length shortened by 37%-64% compared to those mated with unengineered males. Computer models predict that applying the TMT to Aedes aegypti, a mosquito species primarily responsible for spreading dengue and Zika, could reduce blood-feeding rates by 40% to 60% compared to current methods. The current study was conducted in Associate Professor Maciej Maselko’s lab and the proof of concept for this approach for lowering the populations of troublesome species. “We provides still need to apply it to mosquitoes and conduct thorough safety testing to ensure there are no risks to humans or other non-target species,” says Maselko. 12. What can be learned about the TMT? A. It is based on traditional techniques. B. It poses a real threat to male insects. C It is replacing pesticides worldwide. D. It offers hope against harmful insects. 13. What makes the TMT different from the SIT? A. The reason it was created. B. The way it functions. C. The popularity it has achieved. D. The insect it targets. 14. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply? A. The challenges facing the TMT. B. The decrease in insect populations. C. The huge potential of the TMT. D. The great power of computer models. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To call for a prohibition on chemical pesticides. B. To introduce a new genetic bio-control approach. C. To discuss the history of insect-killing techniques. D. To highlight the dangers of disease-carrying insects. 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。 Let’s be honest here: Impulse (冲动) buying is kind of fun — at least in the moment. People impulsively spend an average of $ 150 every month. That adds up to an extra $ 1,800 spent every year and about $ 108,000 in a lifetime. Ouch! ____16____ Let’s find out. ● Make a budget and stick to it. First things first: You need a budget. ____17____ A budget isn’t a magic wand (魔法棒) that will suddenly make all of your money behave. It’s on you to tell your money where to go each month and then follow through with that plan. ● Give yourself permission to spend. Yes, I just told you to stick to your budget — and you always should. ____18____ You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it, so that reward or treat isn’t an impulse buy anymore. ● Wait a day or longer before you make a purchase. These days it’s so easy to see something we want and click, click, click it into a purchase. One way to help here is to give yourself a day or so before you buy something. Then ask yourself if you’ll actually use this thing and if you can pay for it now. ____19____ Don’t let a countdown rush you into buying anything! A sale will come back around. Trust me. ● ____20____ Don’t let your emotions control your spending habits! This can lead to impulsive shopping, whether to reward yourself on a good day or to deal with a bad one.

Then you have to actually keep to it. B. Make your budget as low as possible. C. Avoid shopping when you’re emotional. D. Why is it so easy to buy things on impulse? E. How can we stop the impulsive shopping habit? F. And watch out for deals that are only good for 24 hours. G.

Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration. The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.” Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different. Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing. “I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story. Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes. 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。 “Just start writing down anything,” I told myself. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It wasn’t long before the editor replied. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
