B 【解析】 【原文】 W: My husband and I took a 15-day tour of China provided by Top China Travel last year. It was more expensive than a regular tour, but it was worth it. Not much local people actually understand and speak English, so having a guide to take us around was a great help. We had a different guide in each area, and all of them were great. They provided an overall view of their area, including the main sights and picked an excellent restaurant for our lunches, so we were able to sample lots of different local foods. We had a Ford just for us. The guide basically picked us up at the airport or train station and ended his assignment after checking us in for our flight or train ride to the following city. We couldn’t have done everything we did without the service of the organization. The only issue we had is that we missed the cultural night show in Xi’an, since we arrived there too late that night. The following day after touring the Terracotta Soldiers we left in the afternoon for our next stop. Other than this, Top China Travel made our China experience a memorable one. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A For years, experts have pointed out that Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been primarily used to pump more oil out of the earth, using a process known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Burning that oil emits far more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than what is captured, and therefore CCS doesn’t represent a viable (可实施) solution to tackle climate change, critics argue. Below is a review of the climate impact of 4 large-scale CCS projects around the world. 1. Terrell Natural Gas Processing Plant (“Val Verde”) Storage method: Enhanced oil recovery in the Permian Basin. What they said would happen: More crude oil would be extracted using injected CO₂. What actually happened: It worked. Val Verde’s success served as a replicable model enabling the oil industry to pump more oil while claiming to be helping the climate. 2. Sleipner and Snøhvit Projects Storage methods: Geologic storage in the North Sea. What they said would happen: Often cited as evidence that the oil industry has already perfected carbon capture and storage techniques. What actually happened: Studies suggest the projects’ CO₂ storage modeling is faulty, stressing concerns that CO₂ behavior remains highly unpredictable. 3. Gorgon Project Storage methods: Geologic storage in Barro Island, Western Australia, Australia. What they said would happen: A flagship plant to store CO₂ produced by drilling for offshore gas. What actually happened: Project started years after drilling began; plagued (困扰) by technical problems that meant it captured less than a quarter of what was promised. 4. Boundary Dam Storage method: Enhanced oil recovery in the Weyburn oil field (90 percent), geologic storage (10 percent). What they said would happen: A world-leading “clean coal” facility. What actually happened: Consistent failure to hit capture targets; captured CO₂ used to pump more oil. 21. What major concern arose about Sleipner and Snøhvit Projects? A. Proven perfected CCS techniques. B. Unreliable CO₂ storage modeling. C. Primarily used CO₂ for oil extraction. D. Faced unexpected shutdowns. 22. Why did Gorgon fail expectations? A. It started late and had technical problems. B. It was never properly constructed. C. It stored excessive CO₂ emissions. D. It focused only on coal sources. 23. What is common problem for most projects? A. Effectively reduced carbon emissions. B. Suffered from high operational costs. C. Operated only for a limited time. D. Boosted fossil fuels causing more pollution. 【答案】21 B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章通过分析全球四个大型CCS项目案例，揭示了其因主要用于增强石油开采(EOR)导致实际排放量远超捕获量、技术不达标及存储模型不可靠等问题，指出CCS并非有效的气候解决方案。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sleipner and Snøhvit Projects部分中的“What actually happened: Studies suggest the projects’ CO₂ storage modeling is faulty, stressing concerns that CO₂ behavior remains highly unpredictable.(实际情况是：研究表明，这些项目的二氧化碳储存模型存在缺陷，这加剧了人们的担忧 —— 二氧化碳的活动仍然极难预测。)”可知，针对Sleipner and Snøhvit 项目的重大担忧是：二氧化碳封存模型存在缺陷，导致其实际封存行为的高度不可预测性。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gorgon Project部分中的“What actually happened: Project started years after drilling began; plagued (困扰) by technical problems that meant it captured less than a quarter of what was promised.(实际情况：项目在钻井开始几年后开始；受到技术问题的困扰，这意味着它只实现了承诺的四分之一。)”可知，Gorgon项目因启动延迟且遭遇技术问题而未达预期。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Terrell Natural Gas Processing Plant (“Val Verde”)部分中的“What actually happened: It worked. Val Verde’s success served as a replicable model enabling the oil industry to pump more oil while claiming to be helping the climate.(实际情况：它奏效了。Val Verde的成功是一个可复制的模式，使石油行业能够在声称有助于气候的同时泵送更多的石油。)”可知，该项目成功了，使得石油行业能够开采更多石油。根据Gorgon Project部分中的内容可知，海上天然气钻探产生了很多污染。根据Boundary Dam部分中的“What actually happened: Consistent failure to hit capture targets; captured CO₂ used to pump more oil.(实际情况：持续未能击中捕获目标；捕获CO₂ 用于泵送更多的油。)”可知，捕获的CO₂被用于开采更多石油。再结合第一段内容可推知，大多数项目的共同问题是化石燃料使用增加导致更多污染。故选D。 B Juan came from a very poor, single parent home. Throughout the year, I noticed that Juan had an unusual ability to solve equations, and to correlate abstract relationships between concepts. I was shocked when he approached me after school one day to tell me that he liked chemistry, but failed to think that he was intelligent enough to attend college. He asked me what he should do with his life. I praised Juan’s talent and encouraged him not to waste it. His eyes lit up as I explained how scholarships, loans, and grants could make college possible, then invited him to join my advanced placement chemistry class next year. After promising to reconsider his future, Juan surprised me the next morning during my jog by appearing on my lawn, declaring cheerfully, “I’ve decided to take your AP class.” Juan was my best student that year in advanced placement chemistry. His skills and abilities continued to grow, and he never tired of mind-bending calculations or homework. He literally blossomed before my eyes. As the end of the year approached, Juan thanked me for my interest in his life. I was profoundly moved when he told me that those fifteen or twenty minutes that we had talked the previous year had changed his life. He got an A on the advanced placement chemistry exam and he was awarded enough scholarship assistance that he was able to attend the local university. My experiences with Juan contributed to my decision to remain in the classroom. My love for my students and for the subject I teach has continued to grow over the years. I consider myself most fortunate to be a chemistry teacher, and to have been a part of so many young lives, hopes, and dreams! 24. What was Juan’s initial attitude towards his own academic abilities? A. Confident about college. B. Excelled in chemistry. C. Avoided challenges. D. Doubted university chances. 25. Which of the following best explain “literally blossomed before my eyes” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Became physically taller. B. Improved social skills. C. Showed amazing growth. D. Planted lab experiments. 26. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Knowledgeable and patient. B. Sympathetic and helpful. C. Passionate and intelligent. D. Approachable and persistent. 27. What was the long-term impact of Juan’s story on the teacher? A. Won teaching awards. B. Changed subjects taught. C. Focused on poor students. D. Stayed in teaching. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了化学老师如何通过鼓励贫困学生Juan克服自卑追求高等教育，最终Juan学业成功并改变人生，从而坚定了老师对教学的热爱和奉献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was shocked when he approached me after school one day to tell me that he liked chemistry, but failed to think that he was intelligent enough to attend college.(有一天放学后，他来找我，告诉我他喜欢化学，但认为自己不够聪明，无法上大学，我感到很震惊。)”可知，Juan最初对自己的学术能力持怀疑态度，认为自己没有机会上大学。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的划线部分前文“Juan was my best student that year in advanced placement chemistry. His skills and abilities continued to grow, and he never tired of mind-bending calculations or homework.(Juan是我那年大学先修化学课上最优秀的学生。他的技能和能力不断提高，从不厌倦那些令人费脑筋的计算和作业。)”可知，Juan在学业上表现出色，“literally blossomed before my eyes”指的是Juan在学业上展现出惊人的成长。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I praised Juan’s talent and encouraged him not to waste it. His eyes lit up as I explained how scholarships, loans, and grants could make college possible, then invited him to join my advanced placement chemistry class next year. (我称赞了Juan的天赋，并鼓励他不要浪费这份天赋。当我向他解释奖学金、贷款和助学金如何能让上大学成为可能时，他的眼睛亮了起来，随后我邀请他明年加入我的大学先修化学课。)”以及老师对Juan的关心和帮助可知，这位老师富有同情心且乐于助人。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My experiences with Juan contributed to my decision to remain in the classroom.(和Juan相处的经历促使我决定继续留在课堂上。)”可知，Juan的故事促使老师坚持继续从事教学工作。故选D项。 C Artificial intelligence has persuaded many people that we need to thoroughly change education. Now that chatbots can speedily find and bring back information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems and leave the above-mentioned work to computers? This perspective suggests we can always “just google it” when information is needed. Yet this perspective faces strong pushback. Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable. This connects to a deeper concern about outsourcing memory. In The Shallows, Nicholas Carr writes that the suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception. Thanks to its plasticity, the brain’s long-term memory center can expand, as scientists found when studying London taxi drivers. Carr warns: “When we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.” Furthermore, cognitive limitations reinforce this risk. Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths About Education, reminds us that our working memories can only process a few new items at a time. So if we encounter too much new vocabulary or information, we become overwhelmed, damaging our ability to learn. Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later. But we don’t need to reinvent the wheel: In an era of conspiracy (阴谋) theories and misinformation, it’s even more vital that we humans have a firm grasp of basic facts. 28. What is E.D. Hirsch’s opinion on recalling facts in the AI era? A. It is less important than critical thinking. B. It remains essential despite technology. C. It should be replaced by internet access. D. It weakens knowledge retention overall. 29. How does the author support the main argument in the text? A. Describing personal chatbot experiences. B. Comparing ancient vs. modern education. C. Listing all AI benefits. D. Quoting experts. 30 What do Carr and Christodoulou imply about using the internet as a memory tool? A. It boosts creative thinking capacity. B. It enhances memory consolidation. C. It harms natural brain processes. D. It ensures reliable fact recall. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Future Role of AI Tutors in Education B. The Enhancement of Critical Thinking Skills C. The End of Memorization in the AI Era D. The Risks of Online Memory Outsourcing 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出，尽管AI和互联网能快速获取信息，但基础事实的记忆仍不可或缺，通过引用教育专家和认知科学研究成果，论证了过度依赖技术可能削弱人类认知能力，并强调在信息混乱时代掌握基本事实的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable.(年逾九旬的美国教育家 E.D. Hirsch 驳斥了“我们总能通过网络查询来获取知识”的观点，他指出，虽然互联网接入和人工智能辅导系统非常出色，如果合理使用的话能够增强知识储备，但能够准确回忆起事实这一点仍然是不可或缺的)”可知，E.D. Hirsch认为，尽管人工智能和互联网能快速获取信息，但在AI时代回忆事实仍然至关重要。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据根据第二段“Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable.(年逾九旬的美国教育家E.D. Hirsch 驳斥了“我们总能通过网络查询来获取知识”的观点，他指出，虽然互联网接入和人工智能辅导系统非常出色，如果合理使用的话能够增强知识储备，但能够准确回忆起事实这一点仍然是不可或缺的)”；第三段“In The Shallows, Nicholas Carr writes that the suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception.(在《浅薄》一书中，尼古拉斯·卡尔写道，我们应当将记忆“外包”以腾出有限的空间用于更富有创造性的思考这一观点是基于一种错误的观念)”以及第四段“Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths About Education, reminds us that our working memories can only process a few new items at a time.(《关于教育的七个误区》一书的作者黛西·克里斯托多卢提醒我们，我们的工作记忆每次只能处理少量的新信息)”可知，作者在文中通过引用专家观点来支持核心论点。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.(当我们开始将网络用作个人记忆的替代品，从而绕过记忆的内部巩固过程时，我们就有可能让自己的大脑失去其中的丰富内容)”可知，Carr指出依赖网络会绕过大脑的巩固过程，导致大脑失去丰富的资源；根据第四段中的“So if we encounter too much new vocabulary or information, we become overwhelmed, damaging our ability to learn. Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later. (所以，如果我们接触到太多的新词汇或新信息，就会感到不知所措，从而影响我们的学习能力。事实上，通过谷歌查找内容往往会导致我们之后无法回忆起相关内容)”可知，Christodoulou强调，过度依赖网络会导致“无法记住信息”。由此推知，两人均暗示互联网作为记忆工具会损害大脑的自然处理机制。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕AI时代是否应放弃记忆事实的争议展开，开篇提出“依赖技术快速获取信息即可替代记忆”的普遍观点，随即通过美国教育家E.D. Hirsch的驳斥引出核心论点—回忆事实在AI时代仍不可或缺；随后以Nicholas Carr对“外包记忆损害大脑巩固过程”的生理警示，和Daisy Christodoulou从“工作记忆容量有限”出发的认知科学分析，层层论证过度依赖网络记忆会削弱认知能力、导致信息无法留存的风险；最终强调在信息混乱时代更需掌握基本事实。因此选项D“网络记忆外包的风险”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Throughout human history, natural sponges have been essential for cleaning, painting, and absorbing liquids. Today, scientists worldwide recognize their modern potential: providing a solution to one of our biggest problems — microplastic pollution. The unique porous (多孔的) structure of sponges allows them to capture microscopic particles very effectively, making them promising solutions for environmental cleanup. In a groundbreaking August study from China, researchers created innovative sponges mainly made from starch and gelatin — common biodegradable materials. Resembling large marshmallows, these lightweight structures showed great filtration (过滤) abilities. During lab tests, when a plastic-filled solution was pushed through one of these sponges, it removed both microplastics (particles smaller than 5mm) and even nanoplastics (too small to see), trapping the particles within the sponge’s pore networks. According to materials chemist Guoqing Wang, co-author of the study: “Adjusting production temperatures directly controls pore size.” Higher temperatures create smaller pores able to capture nanometer-scale plastics, while lower temperatures create larger pores targeting microplastics. This allows the sponges to be used for different filtration needs. There are challenges to the sponge’s potential use, though. Material competition could arise since starch and gelatin are important food industry resources. Anett Georgi, a chemist in Germany, says that for cleaning up microplastic pollution in the ocean, the key is to stop microplastics from entering in the first place. That’s something that could be done quickly. But for smaller-scale uses, like removing microplastics from household water, the new sponge filters could be helpful, Georgi suggests. What’s still lacking, says Alice Horton at the UK’s National Oceanography Center, is proof that these newer sponge-based technologies can be cost-effective and successful in removing microplastics from water on a large scale. But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably destined to fail. “We have to stop it getting there in the first place,” she says. 32. What makes natural sponges effective for environmental cleanup? A. Their historical use in painting and cleaning. B. Their porous structure trapping tiny particles. C. Their ability to absorb liquids like modern sponges. D. Their potential for solving microplastic pollution. 33. What did the innovative sponges achieve in lab tests? A. They resembled large marshmallows in appearance. B. They were made from starch and gelatin resources. C. They filtered microplastics and nanoplastics successfully. D. They showed great biodegradation in solutions. 34. What can be concluded about temperature adjustment in sponge production? A. It customizes pore sizes for varied filtration needs. B. It ensures the sponges are lightweight and porous. C. It makes nanoplastics easier to capture at high heat. D. It reduces production costs for diverse applications. 35. What is Alice Horton’s view on ocean microplastic cleanup? A. Sponge technologies need large-scale proof first. B. Household water filters should be developed urgently. C. Cost-effectiveness determines cleanup success directly. D. Prevention is essential over post-pollution removal. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了天然海绵及创新海绵在清理微塑料污染方面的潜力、成果、挑战和不同观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The unique porous (多孔的) structure of sponges allows them to capture microscopic particles very effectively, making them promising solutions for environmental cleanup.(海绵独特的多孔结构使它们能够非常有效地捕获微小颗粒，使它们成为环境清理的有前途的解决方案)”可知，天然海绵多孔的结构能捕获微小颗粒，使其对环境清理有效。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During lab tests, when a plastic-filled solution was pushed through one of these sponges, it removed both microplastics (particles smaller than 5mm) and even nanoplastics (too small to see), trapping the particles within the sponge’s pore networks.(在实验室测试中，当将充满塑料溶液通过其中一种海绵时，它去除了微塑料（小于5毫米的颗粒）甚至纳米塑料（太小而看不见），将颗粒捕获在海绵的孔隙网络中)”可知，创新海绵在实验室测试中成功过滤了微塑料和纳米塑料。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to materials chemist Guoqing Wang, co-author of the study: “Adjusting production temperatures directly controls pore size.” Higher temperatures create smaller pores able to capture nanometer-scale plastics, while lower temperatures create larger pores targeting microplastics. This allows the sponges to be used for different filtration needs.(根据该研究的合著者、材料化学家王国庆的说法：“调整生产温度直接控制孔径。”较高的温度会产生较小的孔隙，能够捕获纳米级的塑料，而较低的温度会产生较大的孔隙，针对微塑料。这使得海绵可用于不同的过滤需求)”可知，调节生产温度可定制孔隙大小以满足不同的过滤需求。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably destined to fail. “We have to stop it getting there in the first place,” she says.(但有一件事她很有信心，那就是在微塑料已经进入海洋后再将其清除的努力很可能会失败。“我们必须首先阻止它进入那里，”她说)”可知，爱丽丝·霍顿认为预防微塑料污染比污染后的清理更重要。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。 If you’ve ever hesitated to share your work, you’re not alone.

Collaboration changes everything. The right people help fix issues and push you to see your work from new angles, uncovering hidden depths. They remind you why you started and broaden your vision. ____38____ Building a creative circle can feel overwhelming. Start where you are. Begin with those already interested in your work — a workshop partner, a reader, or a detail-oriented poet. Once you find potential partners, start small. Exchange one chapter or a short piece to see if feedback works. Not every reader fits, and that’s fine. The best collaborators push your work forward constructively. Why finding your people is worth the risk. ____39____. But so is the reward. Finding people who protect your ideas fiercely improves your work. They ask sharpening questions, suggest solutions saving your draft, and celebrate your wins as their own. ___40___. Finding your circle builds a sustainable writing life where creativity thrives in connection. A. Why starting small builds your circle B. Why seeking perfect partners matters C. Behind every success is a network D. Don’t pretend the fear isn’t real — it is E. Writing is hard, but it needn’t be lonely F. Finding them makes sharing transformative G. No one can copy your voice, characters, or rhythm 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过分析作家在创作中面临的分享困境，论证了合作对于完善作品的重要性，指出真正有价值的合作者不会窃取创意，而是通过建设性反馈帮助作者突破局限，最终强调建立创作共同体对可持续艺术发展的意义。 【36题详解】 由上文“But here’s what most writers don’t realize: The right people aren’t here to steal your work but to make it stronger.(但大多数作家没有意识到的是：合适的人不是来窃取你的作品，而是来让它更出色。)”可知，前文强调合适的人对作品的积极作用，F项Finding them makes sharing transformative.(找到他们会让分享变得有变革性。)中“Finding them”承接上文的“the right people”，“makes sharing transformative”进一步说明与他们分享的深层价值，与 “make it stronger”形成递进，符合语境。故选F项。 【37题详解】 由上文“It’s tempting to believe isolation protects ideas. But writing in a vacuum has risks. Think about admired writers.(人们很容易认为独处能保护想法。但在孤立中写作是有风险的。想想那些受人敬仰的作家。)”和下文“No great work happens in isolation.(没有伟大的作品是在孤立中诞生的。)”可知，空格处应举例说明成功作家并非孤立创作。C项Behind every success is a network.(每一次成功的背后都有一个人脉网络。)符合语境，“Behind every success”呼应“admired writers”，“a network”与“no great work in isolation”形成对比，说明合作的重要性。故选C项。 【38题详解】 由下文“Building a creative circle can feel overwhelming. Start where you are. Begin with those already interested in your work — a workshop partner, a reader, or a detail-oriented poet. Once you find potential partners, start small.(建立一个创意圈可能会让人感到不知所措。从你所在的地方开始。从那些已经对你的工作感兴趣的人开始——工作坊伙伴、读者或注重细节的诗人。一旦你找到了潜在的合作伙伴，从小处着手。)”可知，本段围绕“从小处着手建立圈子”展开。A 项Why starting small builds your circle.(为什么从小处着手能建立你的圈子。)符合语境，作为段落标题，“starting small”和“builds your circle”直接概括了段落内容，与下文“start small”、“Building a creative circle”呼应。故选A项。 【39题详解】 由上文“Why finding your people is worth the risk.(为什么找到志同道合的人值得冒险。)”和下文“But so is the reward.(但回报也是如此。)”可知，空格处应承认寻找过程中的风险或恐惧。D项Don’t pretend the fear isn’t real — it is.(不要假装恐惧不存在 —— 它确实存在。)符合语境，“fear”呼应“risk”，“isn’t real — it is”承认恐惧的真实性，与“but”后的 “reward”形成转折，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 【40题详解】 由上文“They ask sharpening questions, suggest solutions saving your draft, and celebrate your wins as their own.(他们提出尖锐的问题，给出挽救草稿的解决方案，还会把你的成功当作自己的来庆祝。)”和下文“Finding your circle builds a sustainable writing life where creativity thrives in connection.(找到你的圈子能构建一种可持续的写作生活，在这种联结中创造力得以蓬勃发展。)”可知，空格处需衔接合作的温暖与圈子的意义。E项Writing is hard, but it needn’t be lonely.(写作很难，但不必孤独。)中“Writing is hard”承认写作的艰辛，“but it needn’t be lonely”则呼应前文“他们”的陪伴和下文“圈子”的联结，传递出合作带来的归属感，承上启下自然。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(每小题1分，满分15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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One year ago, I was feeling lonely and losing confidence.

Featuring 60. presentation 61. to learn 62. are 63. fearless 64. As 65. which 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了正在上海世博会博物馆举办的希腊主题免费展览《希腊人：从阿伽门农到亚历山大大帝》。 【56题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：免费展览《希腊人：从阿伽门农到亚历山大大帝》正在上海世博会博物馆举行，将持续到10月26日。分析句子成分可知，空处为句子谓语。再根据时间状语“until Oct 26(持续至10月26日)”及句首Now可知，描述当前持续进行的动作，需用现在进行时。主语为单数The exhibition，be动词用is。故填is running。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：此次展览是希腊政府旗舰级的全球文化项目，汇聚了来自14家希腊文化机构和博物馆的核心考古发现。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词bring与句子的主语The exhibition之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词bringing作状语。故填bringing。 【58题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：此次展览是希腊政府旗舰级的全球文化项目，汇聚了来自14家希腊文化机构和博物馆的核心考古发现。discovery是可数名词，根据下文的“from 14 Greek cultural institutions and museums”可知，“来自14家希腊文化机构和博物馆的核心考古发现”肯定应该用复数形式。故填discoveries。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：展览精选了270件从新石器时代到希腊化时期（约公元前6800年–公元前31年）的珍贵文物，全面展示了古希腊7000年的文明历程。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词feature与句子的主语the exhibition之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词featuring作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Featuring。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：展览精选了270件从新石器时代到希腊化时期（约公元前6800年–公元前31年）的珍贵文物，全面展示了古希腊7000年的文明历程。根据空格前的offers a可知，空格处应该用单数名词presentation作宾语。故填presentation。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通过六个章节、六个时代以及16组人物的故事，展览让观众通过希腊人的生活了解古希腊文明。allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”是固定搭配，所以此处使用不定式形式to learn作宾补。故填to learn。 【62题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：据世博会博物馆展览策展人洪丽娜介绍，他们包括欧洲最早的农民、第一届古代奥运会的运动员、无畏的斯巴达战士，以及雅典最早的民主实践者。空格处是谓语动词，句子描述客观情况，用一般现在时；该句子是倒装句，主语是下文的“the earliest farmers in Europe, athletes of the first ancient Olympic Games, the 　8　 (fear) Spartan warriors”，be动词应该用复数形式。故填are。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：据世博会博物馆展览策展人洪丽娜介绍，他们包括欧洲最早的农民、第一届古代奥运会的运动员、无畏的斯巴达战士，以及雅典最早的民主实践者。空格处作定语，修饰下文的名词短语Spartan warriors，且意义为“无畏的”，所以用fear的形容词fearless。故填fearless。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：作为庆祝上海与雅典建立姐妹城市关系的一份文化礼物，此次展览由世博会博物馆、希腊文化部、长沙湖南省博物馆、江苏省南京博物院以及北京首都博物馆联合举办，令人印象深刻。根据空格后的名词短语a cultural gift celebrating the sister-city relationship between Shanghai and Athens可知，空格处应该填入一个介词，且意义为“作为”，所以用介词as。故填As。 【65题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：作为庆祝上海与雅典建立姐妹城市关系的一份文化礼物，此次展览由世博会博物馆、希腊文化部、长沙湖南省博物馆、江苏省南京博物院以及北京首都博物馆联合举办，令人印象深刻。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，对上文的内容进行限定说明，从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词which代替上文的内容在从句中作主语。故填which。 第四部分：书面表达(共两节;满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假如你是李华，学校即将举办主题为“My ideal high school life”的英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇参赛稿，主要内容包括： 1. 介绍自己的想法； 2. 阐述高中学校生活的意义。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My Ideal High School Life Good morning, everyone.

They were playing fetch with her favorite ball. Rose loved chasing it! But this time, the ball bounced too close to some big, jagged rocks. Rose, excited and focused on getting her ball, didn’t see the danger. She ran after it and vanished straight down a very narrow crack between the rocks. She fell a scary 40 feet deep into the dark hole below. Jack was horrified. Rescue teams quickly arrived: firefighters, animal rescuers, and even experts who know about deep holes. They looked down the dark, tight space. It looked very dangerous. They sadly decided that trying to rescue Rose was too risky. They didn’t think anyone could safely get her out. They gave the terrible news: Rose probably wouldn’t survive and they could do nothing for her. Hope seemed very small. Jack’s heart was breaking. He couldn’t believe his little dog was trapped deep underground and everyone said there was no hope. He wouldn’t accept it. While the rescue teams sadly packed up, Jack stayed. He found a shovel and started digging near the rocks where Rose had fallen. It was back-breaking work. The ground was hard as stone. Sweat poured down his face, and his hands became sore and blistered. He dug fiercely, calling Rose’s name down the dark hole. He had to get to her. After hours of exhausting work alone, Jack had an idea. He pulled out his phone. With shaking, dirty hands, he took pictures of the deep crack and the spot where he was desperately digging. He wrote a heartfelt message: “This is my dog, Rose. She fell down this hole. They say it’s too dangerous to save her. I’m her owner, and I can’t leave her. I’m digging her out, but I need help. Please, can anyone help us? Share this!” He posted this plea on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Jack didn’t know if anyone would even notice his post. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack’s post didn’t just bring messages; it brought people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Jack didn’t know if anyone would even notice his post. But then, something truly amazing happened. People saw his heartbreaking pictures of the dark, scary hole and read his desperate words — a father refusing to abandon his beloved dog. Their hearts instantly ached for him. They didn’t just read it; they shared it everywhere. Friends told friends, families shared it at dinner, and strangers across oceans passed it on. Within days, what started as one man’s plea became a global story. Thousands, then millions, of people all over the planet knew the names Jack and Rose and were rooting for her. Jack’s post didn’t just bring messages; it brought people. Within days, volunteers poured in from everywhere. Men and women drove from nearby towns, from across England, and even from Scotland and Wales. They arrived dust-covered and determined, carrying heavy tools like drills, and generators bought with online donations. They shared one goal: save the dog. Strangers worked side-by-side, tirelessly chipping away at the stubborn rock. The lonely hole became a hive of hope, filled with the sounds of effort and the shared dream of seeing Rose safe. Finally, the inspiring news erupted: “She’s out!” It felt as if the entire world felt relieved. The rescue sparked this scene of generosity, which truly crowned the miracle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小狗罗丝掉进40英尺深的岩缝，救援队因危险放弃救援。主人杰克不愿放弃，独自挖掘并在社交媒体求助。帖子引发全球关注，志愿者纷至沓来，最终成功救出罗丝，这场救援彰显了人们的慷慨与奇迹。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰克不知道自己的帖子是否会有人留意”可知，第一段可描写帖子引发全球关注。 ②由第二段首句内容“杰克的帖子不仅传递了信息，还带来了人们”可知，第二段可描写志愿者纷至沓来，最终成功救出罗丝，这场救援彰显了人们的慷慨与奇迹。 2.续写线索：发出帖子——帖子得到关注——志愿者赶来——救出罗丝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①疼痛：ache/in pain ②拒绝：refuse/decline ③看到：see/catch sight of 情绪类 ①惊人：amazing/surprising ②安慰：relieved/be at ease 【点睛】[高分句型1] Within days, what started as one man’s plea became a global story.（运用了what引导主语从句） [高分句型2] It felt as if the entire world felt relieved.（运用了as if引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高二上学期开学考试英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman probably busy doing?

Burning that oil emits far more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than what is captured, and therefore CCS doesn’t represent a viable (可实施的) solution to tackle climate change, critics argue. Below is a review of the climate impact of 4 large-scale CCS projects around the world. 1. Terrell Natural Gas Processing Plant (“Val Verde”) Storage method: Enhanced oil recovery in the Permian Basin. What they said would happen: More crude oil would be extracted using injected CO₂. What actually happened: It worked. Val Verde’s success served as a replicable model enabling the oil industry to pump more oil while claiming to be helping the climate. 2. Sleipner and Snøhvit Projects Storage methods: Geologic storage in the North Sea. What they said would happen: Often cited as evidence that the oil industry has already perfected carbon capture and storage techniques. What actually happened: Studies suggest the projects’ CO₂ storage modeling is faulty, stressing concerns that CO₂ behavior remains highly unpredictable. 3. Gorgon Project Storage methods: Geologic storage in Barro Island, Western Australia, Australia. What they said would happen: A flagship plant to store CO₂ produced by drilling for offshore gas. What actually happened: Project started years after drilling began; plagued (困扰) by technical problems that meant it captured less than a quarter of what was promised. 4. Boundary Dam Storage method: Enhanced oil recovery in the Weyburn oil field (90 percent), geologic storage (10 percent). What they said would happen: A world-leading “clean coal” facility. What actually happened: Consistent failure to hit capture targets; captured CO₂ used to pump more oil. 21. What major concern arose about Sleipner and Snøhvit Projects? A. Proven perfected CCS techniques. B. Unreliable CO₂ storage modeling. C. Primarily used CO₂ for oil extraction. D. Faced unexpected shutdowns. 22. Why did Gorgon fail expectations? A. It started late and had technical problems. B. It was never properly constructed. C. It stored excessive CO₂ emissions. D. It focused only on coal sources. 23. What is common problem for most projects? A. Effectively reduced carbon emissions. B. Suffered from high operational costs. C. Operated only for a limited time. D. Boosted fossil fuels causing more pollution. B Juan came from a very poor single parent home. Throughout the year, I noticed that Juan had an unusual ability to solve equations, and to correlate abstract relationships between concepts. I was shocked when he approached me after school one day to tell me that he liked chemistry, but failed to think that he was intelligent enough to attend college. He asked me what he should do with his life. I praised Juan’s talent and encouraged him not to waste it. His eyes lit up as I explained how scholarships, loans, and grants could make college possible, then invited him to join my advanced placement chemistry class next year. After promising to reconsider his future, Juan surprised me the next morning during my jog by appearing on my lawn, declaring cheerfully, “I’ve decided to take your AP class.” Juan was my best student that year in advanced placement chemistry. His skills and abilities continued to grow, and he never tired of mind-bending calculations or homework. He literally blossomed before my eyes. As the end of the year approached, Juan thanked me for my interest in his life. I was profoundly moved when he told me that those fifteen or twenty minutes that we had talked the previous year had changed his life. He got an A on the advanced placement chemistry exam and he was awarded enough scholarship assistance that he was able to attend the local university. My experiences with Juan contributed to my decision to remain in the classroom. My love for my students and for the subject I teach has continued to grow over the years. I consider myself most fortunate to be a chemistry teacher, and to have been a part of so many young lives, hopes, and dreams! 24. What was Juan’s initial attitude towards his own academic abilities? A. Confident about college. B. Excelled in chemistry. C. Avoided challenges. D. Doubted university chances. 25. Which of the following best explain “literally blossomed before my eyes” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Became physically taller. B. Improved social skills. C. Showed amazing growth. D. Planted lab experiments. 26. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Knowledgeable and patient. B. Sympathetic and helpful. C. Passionate and intelligent. D. Approachable and persistent. 27. What was the long-term impact of Juan’s story on the teacher? A. Won teaching awards. B. Changed subjects taught. C. Focused on poor students. D. Stayed in teaching. C Artificial intelligence has persuaded many people that we need to thoroughly change education. Now that chatbots can speedily find and bring back information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems and leave the above-mentioned work to computers? This perspective suggests we can always “just google it” when information is needed. Yet this perspective faces strong pushback. Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable. This connects to a deeper concern about outsourcing memory. In The Shallows, Nicholas Carr writes that the suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception. Thanks to its plasticity, the brain’s long-term memory center can expand, as scientists found when studying London taxi drivers. Carr warns: “When we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.” Furthermore, cognitive limitations reinforce this risk. Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths About Education, reminds us that our working memories can only process a few new items at a time. So if we encounter too much new vocabulary or information, we become overwhelmed, damaging our ability to learn. Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later. But we don’t need to reinvent the wheel: In an era of conspiracy (阴谋) theories and misinformation, it’s even more vital that we humans have a firm grasp of basic facts. 28. What is E.D. Hirsch’s opinion on recalling facts in the AI era? A. It is less important than critical thinking. B. It remains essential despite technology. C. It should be replaced by internet access. D. It weakens knowledge retention overall. 29. How does the author support the main argument in the text? A. Describing personal chatbot experiences. B. Comparing ancient vs. modern education. C. Listing all AI benefits. D. Quoting experts. 30. What do Carr and Christodoulou imply about using the internet as a memory tool? A. It boosts creative thinking capacity. B. It enhances memory consolidation. C. It harms natural brain processes. D. It ensures reliable fact recall. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Future Role of AI Tutors in Education B. The Enhancement of Critical Thinking Skills C. The End of Memorization in the AI Era D. The Risks of Online Memory Outsourcing D Throughout human history, natural sponges have been essential for cleaning, painting, and absorbing liquids. Today, scientists worldwide recognize their modern potential: providing a solution to one of our biggest problems — microplastic pollution. The unique porous (多孔的) structure of sponges allows them to capture microscopic particles very effectively, making them promising solutions for environmental cleanup. In a groundbreaking August study from China, researchers created innovative sponges mainly made from starch and gelatin — common biodegradable materials. Resembling large marshmallows, these lightweight structures showed great filtration (过滤) abilities. During lab tests, when a plastic-filled solution was pushed through one of these sponges, it removed both microplastics (particles smaller than 5mm) and even nanoplastics (too small to see), trapping the particles within the sponge’s pore networks. According to materials chemist Guoqing Wang, co-author of the study: “Adjusting production temperatures directly controls pore size.” Higher temperatures create smaller pores able to capture nanometer-scale plastics, while lower temperatures create larger pores targeting microplastics. This allows the sponges to be used for different filtration needs. There are challenges to the sponge’s potential use, though. Material competition could arise since starch and gelatin are important food industry resources. Anett Georgi, a chemist in Germany, says that for cleaning up microplastic pollution in the ocean, the key is to stop microplastics from entering in the first place. That’s something that could be done quickly. But for smaller-scale uses, like removing microplastics from household water, the new sponge filters could be helpful, Georgi suggests. What’s still lacking, says Alice Horton at the UK’s National Oceanography Center, is proof that these newer sponge-based technologies can be cost-effective and successful in removing microplastics from water on a large scale. But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably destined to fail. “We have to stop it getting there in the first place,” she says. 32. What makes natural sponges effective for environmental cleanup? A Their historical use in painting and cleaning. B. Their porous structure trapping tiny particles. C. Their ability to absorb liquids like modern sponges. D. Their potential for solving microplastic pollution. 33. What did the innovative sponges achieve in lab tests? A. They resembled large marshmallows in appearance. B. They were made from starch and gelatin resources. C. They filtered microplastics and nanoplastics successfully. D. They showed great biodegradation in solutions. 34. What can be concluded about temperature adjustment in sponge production? A. It customizes pore sizes for varied filtration needs. B. It ensures the sponges are lightweight and porous. C. It makes nanoplastics easier to capture at high heat. D. It reduces production costs for diverse applications. 35. What is Alice Horton’s view on ocean microplastic cleanup? A. Sponge technologies need large-scale proof first. B. Household water filters should be developed urgently. C. Cost-effectiveness determines cleanup success directly. D. Prevention is essential over post-pollution removal. 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。 If you’ve ever hesitated to share your work, you’re not alone.

They were playing fetch with her favorite ball. Rose loved chasing it! But this time, the ball bounced too close to some big, jagged rocks. Rose, excited and focused on getting her ball, didn’t see the danger. She ran after it and vanished straight down a very narrow crack between the rocks. She fell a scary 40 feet deep into the dark hole below. Jack was horrified. Rescue teams quickly arrived: firefighters, animal rescuers, and even experts who know about deep holes. They looked down the dark, tight space. It looked very dangerous. They sadly decided that trying to rescue Rose was too risky. They didn’t think anyone could safely get her out. They gave the terrible news: Rose probably wouldn’t survive and they could do nothing for her. Hope seemed very small. Jack’s heart was breaking. He couldn’t believe his little dog was trapped deep underground and everyone said there was no hope. He wouldn’t accept it. While the rescue teams sadly packed up, Jack stayed. He found a shovel and started digging near the rocks where Rose had fallen. It was back-breaking work. The ground was hard as stone. Sweat poured down his face, and his hands became sore and blistered. He dug fiercely, calling Rose’s name down the dark hole. He had to get to her. After hours of exhausting work alone, Jack had an idea. He pulled out his phone. With shaking, dirty hands, he took pictures of the deep crack and the spot where he was desperately digging. He wrote a heartfelt message: “This is my dog, Rose. She fell down this hole. They say it’s too dangerous to save her. I’m her owner, and I can’t leave her. I’m digging her out, but I need help. Please, can anyone help us? Share this!” He posted this plea on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Jack didn’t know if anyone would even notice his post. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack’s post didn’t just bring messages; it brought people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Oh, dear, I can't find my blue tie.
