B During the time when Theodor Geisel was working as a children’s book author, a popular primer (初级读本) for young children involved the story of two characters named Dick and Jane. However, Dick and Jane were boring. Consequently, these boring characters kept children from learning how to read. Writer John Hershey described the problem in a1954 article in Life magazine. Upon reading it, William Spaulding, the director of Houghton Mifflin, decided to invite Geisel to create an exciting children’s book. Geisel thought, “No sweat”. But in fact, he did sweat for a year and a half. Accustomed to inventing words at his leisure in his previous books, the imaginative author underestimated how difficult it would be to limit his vocabulary to around200 words. He stared at Spaulding’s word list for a year but got nothing. Out of frustration, he finally chose the first two words that rhymed as the title. Cat and hat were what he found. He next worked on what the cat would look like and how he would act. As Geisel wrote, his cat was shaped and inspired by two other cartoon cats he had admired since childhood. The first was from comic Krazy Kat. Geisel’s cat would channel Krazy’s physical appearance. As for its personality, Geisel looked to another cartoon cat for inspiration: Felix the Cat. Felix was adventurous and Geisel’s cat would behave with a similar confidence. Now that he had a main character, finding things for that character to do within the limitation of the word list was like putting his cat in a straitjacket. As Geisel slowly wrote and rewrote The Cat in the Hat throughout1956, he figured out a few tricks to help his writing. He would repeat words or phrases, which gave his works a distinct and regular rhythm that helped young readers learn words through look-say repetition. Upon publication in1957, The Cat in the Hat was an instant hit and made Geisel a world famous children’s book author. 4. What made it hard for Geisel to create his story? A. The restriction of word selections. B. Criticisms from another writer. C. The publisher’s demand for quality. D. The change of his writing topic. 5. What do we know about the cat in Geisel’s book? A. It is as confident as Krazy. B. It is dressed in a straitjacket. C. It takes after Felix in appearance. D. It takes on features of two cartoon cats. 6. Which of the following best describes the language in The Cat in the Hat? A. Varied and plain. B. Simple but insightful. C. Repetitive and rhythmic. D. Limited but well-organized. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The creation of cats in children’s books. B. The story behind a famous children’s book. C. A well-known writer in children’s literature. D. Difficulties and skills in writing a children’s book. C On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab,Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt."I realized this was air pollution，or sooty（像煤一样）particulate matter (PM)，made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles，" Sharma says. "This is a major health issue."Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels. Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators（柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai,and London. Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints.At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art."Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done,"Sharma says. 8. What struck Sharma most during his break in India? A. Dirt on his T-shirts. B. Health issue of the locals. C. Coal industry in Mumbai. D. Incomplete burning of fossil fuels. 9. According to the text, Air-Ink is________. A. a cleaner of outdoor air B. a product made from PM C. a newly-founded company D. a printing technology 10. What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text? A. It improves artistic effect. B. It makes pollution acceptable. C. It helps Sharma make a profit. D. It raises environmental awareness. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Arts know no borders B. Waste has no price C. Less pollution, more art D. Creative thinking, effective painting D The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region’s most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming. Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species — meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they’re responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America’s bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course. For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon’s resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings. Because of the study’s long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological (形态学的) effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size. 12. Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds? A. They have small body sizes. B. They are sensitive to hot weather. C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest. D. They are ecological balance indicators. 13. What can we learn from the new study? A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade. B. 36 species lost 2% of their body weight every year. C. Two- thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight. D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings. 14. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Take on. B. Give off. C. Put up. D. Lead to. 15. What would probably the researchers further study? A Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool. B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds. C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight. D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下而短文，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。 How to Cheer up Your Friend The following tips will make your friend cheer up.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绵阳中学实验学校2023级高二（下）入学考试 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 总分：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。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.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是儿童作家Theodor Geisel创作《戴帽子的猫》的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Accustomed to inventing words at his leisure in his previous books, the imaginative author underestimated how difficult it would be to limit his vocabulary to around200 words.(这位富有想象力的作家在他以前的书中习惯于在闲暇时间创造词汇，他低估了将自己的词汇量限制在200个左右的困难)”可知，单词选择的限制让盖泽尔难以创作他的故事。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“As Geisel wrote, his cat was shaped and inspired by two other cartoon cats he had admired since childhood.(正如盖泽尔所写的，他的这只猫的造型和灵感来自于他从小就崇拜的另外两只卡通猫)”可知，盖泽尔书中的猫具有两只卡通猫的特点。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“He would repeat words or phrases, which gave his works a distinct and regular rhythm that helped young readers learn words through look-say repetition.(他会重复单词或短语，这使他的作品具有鲜明而有规律的节奏，帮助年轻读者通过看说的重复来学习单词)”可知，《戴帽子的猫》中的语言是重复和有节奏的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Upon reading it, William Spaulding, the director of Houghton Mifflin, decided to invite Geisel to create an exciting children’s book.(霍顿·米夫林的导演威廉·斯波尔丁读了这本书后，决定邀请盖泽尔创作一本令人兴奋的儿童读物)”和最后一段的“Upon publication in1957, The Cat in the Hat was an instant hit and made Geisel a world famous children’s book author.(1957年，《戴帽子的猫》一出版，立即引起轰动，使盖泽尔成为世界著名的儿童书籍作家)”可知，本文主要讲的是儿童作家Theodor Geisel创作《戴帽子的猫》的过程，即“一本著名的儿童读物背后的故事”。故选B。 C On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab,Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt."I realized this was air pollution，or sooty（像煤一样）particulate matter (PM)，made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles，" Sharma says. "This is a major health issue."Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels. Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators（柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai,and London. Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints.At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art."Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done,"Sharma says. 8. What struck Sharma most during his break in India? A. Dirt on his T-shirts. B. Health issue of the locals. C. Coal industry in Mumbai. D. Incomplete burning of fossil fuels. 9. According to the text, Air-Ink is________. A. a cleaner of outdoor air B. a product made from PM C. a newly-founded company D. a printing technology 10. What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text? A. It improves artistic effect. B. It makes pollution acceptable. C. It helps Sharma make a profit. D. It raises environmental awareness. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Arts know no borders B. Waste has no price C. Less pollution, more art D. Creative thinking, effective painting 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了Sharma开发了新的技术，将空气中的颗粒物收集起来，制成空气墨水，供艺术家们创作。他的目的是为了提高人们的环境意识。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt.”可知，在印度，Sharma注意到，他的T恤上都有一些看起来像灰尘样的东西越来越多。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段中提到“Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators to collect particulate matter. Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink… .（Sharma创建的Graviky 实验室开发了一种技术，可以连接到柴油发电机的排气系统上，收集颗粒物。然后，Graviky实验室的科学家将它转化为墨水，称为‘空气墨水’）”，其中it指代上一句中的收集的“particulate matter”即PM。由此可知，Air-Ink是由PM制成的产品。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段中提到Sharma所说的话 “Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from.”。文章第二段中提到Air-Ink是由PM（空气中的颗粒物）制成的，用Air-Ink创作的艺术画可以帮助我们认识到墨水和颜料是从哪里来的。由此可以推断，用Air-Ink 绘制艺术画可以帮助人们提高环境意识。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章最后一段提到“Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use. But it can be done.(我们的墨水传达出一个信息：污染是世界上最难收集和利用的资源之一。但这是可以做到的，)”，Sharma的研究表明虽然污染很难再次利用，但是还是可以做到的； Sharma利用技术，将空气中的污染颗粒物（PM）收集起来，制成Air-Ink，给艺术家们创作艺术作品，以提高人们的环境意识。他将污染加以回收利用，转化成艺术形式。因此文章标题应为“Less pollution, more art”。故选C。 D The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region’s most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming. Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species — meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they’re responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America’s bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course. For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon’s resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings. Because of the study’s long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological (形态学的) effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size. 12. Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds? A. They have small body sizes. B. They are sensitive to hot weather. C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest. D. They are ecological balance indicators. 13. What can we learn from the new study? A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade. B. 36 species lost 2% of their body weight every year. C. Two- thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight. D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings. 14. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Take on. B. Give off. C. Put up. D. Lead to. 15. What would probably the researchers further study? A. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool. B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds. C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight. D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化对鸟的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species—meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they’re responding to climate change. (鸟类通常被认为是哨兵物种，这意味着它们表明了生态系统的整体健康状况，因此科学家们对它们如何应对气候变化特别感兴趣。)”可知，科学家喜欢研究鸟是因为鸟是生态平衡的暗示者。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon’s resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. (在这项新研究中，研究人员收集了迄今为止最大的亚马逊留鸟数据集，代表了77种非候鸟，从1979年到2019年持续了40年。)”以及“Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings. (同时，所有物种的平均体重都有所下降，而三分之一的物种的翅膀变长了。)”可知，大约26种鸟类长着较长的翅膀应对气候变化。互选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. (然而，研究人员自己也不确定，他们想知道翅膀长度的变化给鸟类带来了什么好处，但假设体型较小的鸟类可能更容易保持凉爽。)”以及画线单词前“In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size (一般来说，较小的动物有较大的表面积与身体大小的比率)”可知，较小动物的表面积相对于整体而言较大，因此容易散发热量，所以画线单词的意思为“散发”。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. (然而，研究人员自己也不确定，他们想知道翅膀长度的变化给鸟类带来了什么好处，但假设体型较小的鸟类可能更容易保持凉爽。)”可知，研究者将进一步研究鸟的翅膀长度对鸟有什么影响。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下而短文，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。 How to Cheer up Your Friend The following tips will make your friend cheer up.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other. After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
