B As I was engaged in cutting lettuce in the kitchen, it suddenly occurred to me that I had seen a video on regrowing a whole new lettuce from its stub by placing it in water. Without hesitation, I took out a wide-mouthed mug, put the lettuce stub into it, added some water, and then set it near the window. On a snowy morning, I spotted the first sign of life. A small leaf began to stretch out from its center, like a tiny green flag of hope — beaten, yet not defeated. Within just a few days, the cuts where I had removed the leaves were no longer visible; the growth was incredibly rapid. When I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, reaching for the soil. Lettuce or hope? Put in the lettuce’s position I’d likely be doubtful initially, carefully sizing up my new environment before wholeheartedly diving into the process of growing. But this lettuce didn’t need much — just a bit of water and a place near the window is enough to decide it was going to thrive again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name .I decided to call it Monty. Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things. Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger. I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay (腐烂),or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave. 24. Why did the author put the stub in water? A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug C. To conduct an experiment. D. To remove his bad mood. 25. What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes? A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf. C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads. 26. How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation? A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed. 27. Which can be a suitable title of the passage? A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest. B. Believe in yourself when in trouble. C. Never be afraid to restart yourself. D. Give freedom to the heart in a way. C In the face of increasing energy bills and the unstable situation of global temperatures, Deep Green, a small data center startup, and Exmouth Leisure Centre have come up with an approach to assist one another. Since the start of the pandemic, energy costs for a leisure swimming pool have reportedly tripled, leaving many centers with no choice but to close, according to Swim England. They claim that by March 2024, 40 percent of council areas could risk losing their swimming pools if nothing changes. Similarly, data centers have had to raise their fees in order to cover the extra cost of cooling their equipment, making it impossible to offer a competitive rate. While most normal data centers waste the heat that the computers generate Deep Green has found a solution to benefit everybody. They have built a small data center in Exmouth Leisure Centre, allowing the heat from the servers to heat the swimming pool. The solution is cost-free, and Exmouth Leisure Centre is projected to save about £20,000 per year. Given that data centers run 24 hours a day and are designed with backup power systems, they generate a consistent and reliable amount of heat." “As the world moves, we need ten times the number of computers and we cannot build ten times the amount of data centers,” said Bjornsgaard, manager of Deep Green. “So there is a need to decentralize (分散) them and take little bits of them to where the heat is required. Our ‘digital boilers’ put waste heat to good use, saving local businesses thousands of pounds on energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint.” Deep Green isn’t the only company to come up with a neat solution to using waste-heat. In Paris, the Condorcet data center is heating an onsite Climate Change Arboretum that studies which plants are most adaptable to global warming. Similarly, the Notre Dame Centre for Research Computing heats a local municipal greenhouse. So as Bjornsgaard says, this is just the start. 28. What problem is Exmouth Leisure Centre facing? A. The increasing energy bill. B. The risk of losing its customers. C. Finding ways to cool its equipment. D. Its decreasing swimming pools. 29. Why does Deep Green cooperate with Exmouth Leisure Centre? A. Because they belong to the same company. B. Because their business models are similar. C. Because they can provide benefits for each other. D. Because they both want to protect the environment. 30. What factor leads to plenty of heat in data centers? A. The alarming speed of global warming. B. The non-stop running pattern. C. The building of backup power systems. D. The poor arrangement of devices. 31. Which of the following can best describe the solution? A. Modern but strange. B. Complicated but amazing. C. Demanding and expensive. D. Creative and environment-friendly. D A scientist who discovered a unicorn (独角兽) might not say it without seeing it for many times. Yet, there are times when a single unicorn is all it takes. In 2007 an astronomer named Duncan Lorimer reported finding a new kind of astronomical event. It was a brief stream of energy so powerful that it could reach Earth from a galaxy billions of light-years away. He called it a fast radio burst (FRB). This remarkable find, if real, could make huge contributions to the study about the universe. He predicted there would be many more — but that year, he spotted just one. Though it’s not entirely unheard of for one event to launch an entirely new scientific inquiry, it is certainly uncommon. When Lorimer’s paper came out in the journal, it was not surprising that many were skeptical. “Sometimes, what seems like a remarkable scientific discovery turns out to be an error in the data,” some commented. As years ticked by and no more FRBs were discovered, some astronomers began to conclude Lorimer had found nothing more than an unusual example of one of the perytons. Good news: in 2011, there was a report of a second FRB. Four more were found in 2013. Bad news: all of them came from the same Lorimer’s radio telescope. But ultimately, in 2014, there was a report from another radio telescope. More discoveries started showing up from other telescopes on a somewhat regular basis. At last the conversation about FRBs shifted — from whether they were real to where they came from. Finally, this “unicorn” story came to a somehow surprising end. Several years ago, a team reanalyzed the same data from the radio telescope by which Lorimer found the first FRB. There was one more that they had previously missed. Since then, other teams have analyzed even older data and found FRBs in those datasets too. “They were just sitting there, waiting to be discovered by better techniques,” Lorimer says. 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Negative. B. Curious. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 33. What is the purpose when unicorns are mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To indicate that the new scientific discovery might be a legend. B. To hint that mythical creatures might actually exist in reality. C. To symbolize the previously unknown and unseen discoveries. D. To cite an event that occurred in the field of science. 34. Why was it bad news that other FRBs found also came from Lorimer’s telescope? A. Because it might mean the results were not reliable. B. Because they were all found at almost the same time. C. Because these signals were labeled as perytons and turned out to be not real FRBs. D. Because not every astronomer had access to the same type of telescope as Lorimer. 35. What does the last sentence imply? A. Just one event might be enough to kick off a new scientific field. B. It’s unlikely to make a new scientific discovery without advanced research methods. C. Scientists shouldn’t deny new discoveries even if they lack evidence temporarily. D. It’s important for scientists to carefully tell the difference between true discoveries and data errors. 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。 Challenges are a common part of our life, and everyone is bound to meet them. ___36___ However, we can use these challenges to make positive changes in our life.

One day, they had a usual walk in the woods. The sun shone brightly, and little Jaden held his mother’s hand tightly. “Mommy, look at the trees! They’re so tall and green!” Jaden cried, pointing upwards with excitement. Ojibway smiled warmly, and her eyes were full of love. “Yes, my dear. This is your safe haven, where you can be yourself and explore all the wonders nature has to offer.” As they walked deeper into the woods, Jaden’s curiosity grew. He stopped to play with the grass in a while and sometimes looked up into the sky carefully. Watching this, Ojibway felt a relief because only in the woods could Jaden behave freely and open his heart. When Jaden saw butterflies flying from flower to flower, his face lit up with joy. “Mommy, they are so beautiful! Can I catch one?” he asked innocently. Ojibway looked at Jaden, saying, “Mommy also thinks they are very beautiful. Let’s just watch them dance, OK?” Jaden nodded thoughtfully, watching the butterflies quietly. As they continued their walk, Jaden spotted something fluttering (拍打) weakly on the ground. It was a butterfly, whose wings were wet and stuck together, unable to fly. “Mommy, the butterfly is hurt! Can we help it?” Jaden asked worriedly. Ojibway knelt down beside her son, gently picking up the delicate creature in her hands. “Of course, we can, honey. I think we should do something for it. Let’s find a safe place for it to rest and dry its wings.” Together, they found a sheltered spot under a large tree, where Ojibway carefully placed the butterfly on a soft leaf. “Now, we just need to be patient and let nature do its work,” she said to Jaden. Jaden sat beside his mother, watching eagerly, with his little hand holding hers. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the minutes passed the butterfly slowly began to move. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Yes, we did it!” Ojibway smiled, turning to her son ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 合肥六中2024-2025学年下学期高一期中教学质量检测 英 语 (考试时间：120分钟满分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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】 Why does the man look terrible?

Special attractions for children include a quiz and hourly feeding times for all the different animals and fish, starting at 9:30. You can see everything here, from the most enormous sea creatures to the smallest. Every morning from ten o’clock there are slide and video shows for children in the sea life theatre, and someone is always there to answer questions about what you’ve seen. If you are in a group of six or more people, they can give you a special guided tour of the center. But you need to arrange this at the information desk when you arrive. The latest attraction at the center is a big glass tunnel you can walk through. All around you, you will see enormous fish swimming. Sometimes even over your head. You certainly have the clearest possible view of the world beneath the waves. Children love it and it’s really amazing for adults too. When you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining area serving snacks, cold drinks and ice creams. Near the main entrance there is an excellent bookshop and there’s also a souvenir shop selling all kinds of things connected with the sea. So I warmly recommend this visit. 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 Vocabulary.com partners with teachers to help students master new words.

Without hesitation, I took out a wide-mouthed mug, put the lettuce stub into it, added some water, and then set it near the window. On a snowy morning, I spotted the first sign of life. A small leaf began to stretch out from its center, like a tiny green flag of hope — beaten, yet not defeated. Within just a few days, the cuts where I had removed the leaves were no longer visible; the growth was incredibly rapid. When I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, reaching for the soil. Lettuce or hope? Put in the lettuce’s position, I’d likely be doubtful initially, carefully sizing up my new environment before wholeheartedly diving into the process of growing. But this lettuce didn’t need much — just a bit of water and a place near the window is enough to decide it was going to thrive again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name .I decided to call it Monty. Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things. Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger. I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay (腐烂),or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave. 24. Why did the author put the stub in water? A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug C. To conduct an experiment. D. To remove his bad mood. 25. What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes? A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf. C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads. 26. How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation? A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed. 27. Which can be a suitable title of the passage? A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest. B. Believe in yourself when in trouble. C. Never be afraid to restart yourself. D. Give freedom to the heart in a way. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者将生菜残余部分放入水中生长，展现出生命力的故事，并表达了 作者希望自己能够像一样勇敢地面对生活的选择。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As I was engaged in cutting lettuce in the kitchen, it suddenly occurred to me that I had seen a video on regrowing a whole new lettuce from its stub by placing it in water. Without hesitation, I took out a wide-mouthed mug, put the lettuce stub into it, added some water, and then set it near the window.(当时我正在厨房里切生菜，突然想到我之前看过一个视频，里面讲的是如何将一棵完整的生菜从残根处重新种植出来，方法是将残根放入水中。我毫不犹豫地拿出一个宽口的杯子，把生菜的残根放进去，加了些水，然后把它放在窗边)”可知，作者把生菜残余部分放进杯子里是希望它能长出一棵新的生菜。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On a snowy morning, I spotted the first sign of life. A small leaf began to stretch out from its center, like a tiny green flag of hope — beaten, yet not defeated.(在一个飘着雪花的清晨，我看到了生命的最初迹象。一片小小的叶子从它的中心开始向外舒展，宛如一面小小的绿色希望旗帜——虽经风雨洗礼，却未被击垮)”可知，作者眼里的生命的第一个迹象是一片小叶子。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Put in the lettuce’s position, I’d likely be doubtful initially, carefully sizing up my new environment before wholeheartedly diving into the process of growing.(假设我将生菜种在那个位置，一开始我可能会有些犹豫，会先仔细观察一下这个新环境，然后再全身心地投入到种植的过程中)”可知，作者如果是一棵处于类似状况的生菜，作者会怀疑自己的状况，会感到犹豫。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay (腐烂),or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.(我惊讶地发现自己竟身处这般境地。或许蒙蒂也有同样的感受。我和他面临着同样的选择：要么屈服并逐渐消亡，要么重新开始。重新开始的前景令人沮丧。但我的“生菜朋友”蒙蒂却率先迈出了第一步。我只能希望自己也能像他一样勇敢)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述 了作者将生菜残余部分放在水中，生菜努力生长的故事给作者带来的感触。作者认为，我们要勇于重新开始。故选C。 C In the face of increasing energy bills and the unstable situation of global temperatures, Deep Green, a small data center startup, and Exmouth Leisure Centre have come up with an approach to assist one another. Since the start of the pandemic, energy costs for a leisure swimming pool have reportedly tripled, leaving many centers with no choice but to close, according to Swim England. They claim that by March 2024, 40 percent of council areas could risk losing their swimming pools if nothing changes. Similarly, data centers have had to raise their fees in order to cover the extra cost of cooling their equipment, making it impossible to offer a competitive rate. While most normal data centers waste the heat that the computers generate, Deep Green has found a solution to benefit everybody. They have built a small data center in Exmouth Leisure Centre, allowing the heat from the servers to heat the swimming pool. The solution is cost-free, and Exmouth Leisure Centre is projected to save about £20,000 per year. Given that data centers run 24 hours a day and are designed with backup power systems, they generate a consistent and reliable amount of heat." “As the world moves, we need ten times the number of computers and we cannot build ten times the amount of data centers,” said Bjornsgaard, manager of Deep Green. “So there is a need to decentralize (分散) them and take little bits of them to where the heat is required. Our ‘digital boilers’ put waste heat to good use, saving local businesses thousands of pounds on energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint.” Deep Green isn’t the only company to come up with a neat solution to using waste-heat. In Paris, the Condorcet data center is heating an onsite Climate Change Arboretum that studies which plants are most adaptable to global warming. Similarly, the Notre Dame Centre for Research Computing heats a local municipal greenhouse. So as Bjornsgaard says, this is just the start. 28. What problem is Exmouth Leisure Centre facing? A. The increasing energy bill. B. The risk of losing its customers. C. Finding ways to cool its equipment. D. Its decreasing swimming pools. 29. Why does Deep Green cooperate with Exmouth Leisure Centre? A. Because they belong to the same company. B. Because their business models are similar. C. Because they can provide benefits for each other. D. Because they both want to protect the environment. 30. What factor leads to plenty of heat in data centers? A. The alarming speed of global warming. B The non-stop running pattern. C. The building of backup power systems. D. The poor arrangement of devices. 31. Which of the following can best describe the solution? A. Modern but strange. B. Complicated but amazing. C. Demanding and expensive. D. Creative and environment-friendly. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Deep Green数据中心与埃克斯茅斯休闲中心合作利用废热的互利方案及类似案例。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since the start of the pandemic, energy costs for a leisure swimming pool have reportedly tripled, leaving many centers with no choice but to close, according to Swim England.(据英国游泳协会称，自疫情开始以来，休闲游泳池的能源成本已上涨两倍，许多中心别无选择，只能关闭。)”可知，埃克斯茅斯休闲中心面临着能源账单不断增加的问题。故选A项。 29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Deep Green, a small data center startup, and Exmouth Leisure Centre have come up with an approach to assist one another.(小型数据中心初创公司Deep Green和埃克斯茅斯休闲中心想出了一种互相帮助的方法。)”以及第四段中的“They have built a small data center in Exmouth Leisure Centre, allowing the heat from the servers to heat the swimming pool.(他们在埃克斯茅斯休闲中心建造了一个小型数据中心，利用服务器产生的热量为游泳池供暖。)”可知，两者合作是因为能互相提供好处。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Given that data centers run 24 hours a day and are designed with backup power systems, they generate a consistent and reliable amount of heat.(由于数据中心全天24小时运行，并且设计有备用电源系统，它们产生的热量稳定且可靠。)”可知，数据中心24小时不间断运行的模式使其产生大量热量。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While most normal data centers waste the heat that the computers generate, Deep Green has found a solution to benefit everybody.(虽然大多数普通数据中心会浪费计算机产生的热量，但Deep Green找到了一个对每个人都有利的解决方案。)”以及第六段中的“Our ‘digital boilers’ put waste heat to good use, saving local businesses thousands of pounds on energy bills and reducing their carbon footprint.(我们的‘数字锅炉’充分利用废热，为当地企业节省数千英镑的能源账单，并减少他们的碳足迹。)”可知，这种解决方案既富有创意，又有利于环境。故选D项。 D A scientist who discovered a unicorn (独角兽) might not say it without seeing it for many times. Yet, there are times when a single unicorn is all it takes. In 2007 an astronomer named Duncan Lorimer reported finding a new kind of astronomical event. It was a brief stream of energy so powerful that it could reach Earth from a galaxy billions of light-years away. He called it a fast radio burst (FRB). This remarkable find, if real, could make huge contributions to the study about the universe. He predicted there would be many more — but that year, he spotted just one. Though it’s not entirely unheard of for one event to launch an entirely new scientific inquiry, it is certainly uncommon. When Lorimer’s paper came out in the journal, it was not surprising that many were skeptical. “Sometimes, what seems like a remarkable scientific discovery turns out to be an error in the data,” some commented. As years ticked by and no more FRBs were discovered, some astronomers began to conclude Lorimer had found nothing more than an unusual example of one of the perytons. Good news: in 2011, there was a report of a second FRB. Four more were found in 2013. Bad news: all of them came from the same Lorimer’s radio telescope. But ultimately, in 2014, there was a report from another radio telescope. More discoveries started showing up from other telescopes on a somewhat regular basis. At last the conversation about FRBs shifted — from whether they were real to where they came from. Finally, this “unicorn” story came to a somehow surprising end. Several years ago, a team reanalyzed the same data from the radio telescope by which Lorimer found the first FRB. There was one more that they had previously missed. Since then, other teams have analyzed even older data and found FRBs in those datasets too. “They were just sitting there, waiting to be discovered by better techniques,” Lorimer says. 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Negative. B. Curious. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 33. What is the purpose when unicorns are mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To indicate that the new scientific discovery might be a legend. B. To hint that mythical creatures might actually exist in reality. C. To symbolize the previously unknown and unseen discoveries. D. To cite an event that occurred in the field of science. 34. Why was it bad news that other FRBs found also came from Lorimer’s telescope? A. Because it might mean the results were not reliable. B Because they were all found at almost the same time. C. Because these signals were labeled as perytons and turned out to be not real FRBs. D. Because not every astronomer had access to the same type of telescope as Lorimer. 35. What does the last sentence imply? A. Just one event might be enough to kick off a new scientific field. B. It’s unlikely to make a new scientific discovery without advanced research methods. C. Scientists shouldn’t deny new discoveries even if they lack evidence temporarily. D. It’s important for scientists to carefully tell the difference between true discoveries and data errors. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了快速射电暴（FRB）从发现到被广泛确认的科学探索过程。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When Lorimer’s paper came out in the journal, it was not surprising that many were skeptical. “Sometimes, what seems like a remarkable scientific discovery turns out to be an error in the data,” some commented.(当洛里默的论文在期刊上发表时，许多人skeptical，这并不奇怪。“有时候，看似非凡的科学发现，结果却是数据错误，”一些人评论道。)”可知，许多人对洛里默的论文持怀疑态度，认为有时候看似非凡的科学发现结果是数据上的错误，skeptical“怀疑的”与D选项Doubtful“怀疑的”意思一致。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A scientist who discovered a unicorn (独角兽) might not say it without seeing it for many times. Yet, there are times when a single unicorn is all it takes.(一个发现独角兽的科学家可能不会在没多次见到它的情况下就这么说。然而，有时候，一只独角兽就足够了。)”和第二段“In 2007 an astronomer named Duncan Lorimer reported finding a new kind of astronomical event. It was a brief stream of energy so powerful that it could reach Earth from a galaxy billions of light-years away. He called it a fast radio burst (FRB). This remarkable find, if real, could make huge contributions to the study about universe. He predicted there would be many more — but that year, he spotted just one.(2007年，一位名叫邓肯·洛里默的天文学家报告称发现了一种新型天文事件。那是一股极为短暂且强大的能量流，能够从数十亿光年外的星系抵达地球。他将其命名为快速射电暴（FRB）。如果这一非凡发现确凿无疑，那么它将为宇宙研究做出巨大贡献。他预测还会发现更多此类事件，但那一年，他仅观测到了一起。)”可知，第一段提到独角兽是为了象征以前未知和未被发现的发现，C选项“To symbolize the previously unknown and unseen discoveries.(象征着以前未知和未被发现的发现。)”符合题意。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Bad news: all of them came from the same Lorimer’s radio telescope. But ultimately, in 2014, there was a report from another radio telescope. More discoveries started showing up from other telescopes on a somewhat regular basis. At last the conversation about FRBs shifted — from whether they were real to where they came from.(但坏消息是：这些发现全部来自洛里默使用的那台射电望远镜。不过最终，在2014年，另一台射电望远镜也报告了快速射电暴的发现。此后，其他望远镜也开始较为定期地发现更多此类事件。最终，关于快速射电暴的讨论焦点从“它们是否真实存在”转移到了“它们源自何处”。)”可知，其他快速射电暴信号也都来自洛里默的同一台射电望远镜，这可能意味着结果不可靠，所以是坏消息。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““They were just sitting there, waiting to be discovered by better techniques,” Lorimer says.(“它们一直就在那里，等待着更先进的技术将它们发现。”洛里默说道。)”可知，即使暂时缺乏证据，科学家也不应该否认新发现。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Challenges are a common part of our life, and everyone is bound to meet them. ___36___ However, we can use these challenges to make positive changes in our life.

One day, they had a usual walk in the woods. The sun shone brightly, and little Jaden held his mother’s hand tightly. “Mommy, look at the trees! They’re so tall and green!” Jaden cried, pointing upwards with excitement. Ojibway smiled warmly, and her eyes were full of love. “Yes, my dear. This is your safe haven, where you can be yourself and explore all the wonders nature has to offer.” As they walked deeper into the woods, Jaden’s curiosity grew. He stopped to play with the grass in a while and sometimes looked up into the sky carefully. Watching this, Ojibway felt a relief because only in the woods could Jaden behave freely and open his heart. When Jaden saw butterflies flying from flower to flower, his face lit up with joy. “Mommy, they are so beautiful! Can I catch one?” he asked innocently. Ojibway looked at Jaden, saying, “Mommy also thinks they are very beautiful. Let’s just watch them dance, OK?” Jaden nodded thoughtfully, watching the butterflies quietly. As they continued their walk, Jaden spotted something fluttering (拍打) weakly on the ground. It was a butterfly, whose wings were wet and stuck together, unable to fly. “Mommy, the butterfly is hurt! Can we help it?” Jaden asked worriedly. Ojibway knelt down beside her son, gently picking up the delicate creature in her hands. “Of course, we can, honey. I think we should do something for it. Let’s find a safe place for it to rest and dry its wings.” Together, they found a sheltered spot under a large tree, where Ojibway carefully placed the butterfly on a soft leaf. “Now, we just need to be patient and let nature do its work,” she said to Jaden. Jaden sat beside his mother, watching eagerly, with his little hand holding hers. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the minutes passed, the butterfly slowly began to move. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Yes, we did it!” Ojibway smiled, turning to her son ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As the minutes passed, the butterfly slowly began to move. Its wings, once stuck together, gradually separated under the warmth of the sun. Jaden watched with bated breath, his hand tightly holding his mother’s. “It’s working, Mommy,” he said softly, eyes shining with hope. Ojibway nodded, whispering encouragement to both her son and the little creature. Soon enough, the butterfly gave a few tentative flutters before taking off gently from the leaf. “Yes, we did it!” Ojibway smiled, turning to her son. Jaden beamed back, filled with pride and joy. “We helped it fly again, Mommy!” He exclaimed, clapping his hands. Ojibway hugged him close, feeling his excitement. “You see, honey, sometimes all someone needs is a little help to get back on their feet.” As they walked home through the woods, Jaden kept looking up at the sky, hoping to catch another glimpse of the butterfly. The day was not just about rescuing an insect; it was a lesson in kindness and patience that would stay with him for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Therese Ojibway和她的儿子Jaden在森林中的探险为线索展开，讲述了他们一次普通的森林漫步。当Jaden对周围的大自然表现出极大的好奇与兴奋时，母子俩发现了一只翅膀湿透无法飞翔的蝴蝶并决定帮助蝴蝶的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“时间一分一秒地过去，那只蝴蝶开始慢慢移动。”可知，第一段可描写蝴蝶的变化以及Jaden见到后做出的回应并且最后蝴蝶飞起来。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘是的，我们成功了！’Ojibway微笑着转向她的儿子。”可知，第二段可描写Jaden看到蝴蝶起飞后的喜悦情景以及这次救助蝴蝶的意义。 2.续写线索：蝴蝶开始移动——Jaden见后的反应——蝴蝶起飞——Jaden更加兴奋——对Jaden的影响——救助的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分离：separate/part ②抓住：hold/grab/grasp/seize ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①充满希望：with hope/with expectation ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jaden watched with bated breath, his hand tightly holding his mother’s.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Ojibway nodded, whispering encouragement to both her son and the little creature.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型3] As they walked home through the woods, Jaden kept looking up at the sky, hoping to catch another glimpse of the butterfly.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作状语） 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。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, man, I feel awful.
