B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分上文中的“The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race ...”可知，这项比赛很难。结合“All the best athletes show up ...”可推知，他们应是准备好接受挑战了。故选B。 25. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success.”可知，准备做得好是Sodaro取得巨大成功的关键。故选B。 26. A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. ‘I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day,’ she said.”可知，面对即将到来的比赛，她起初很紧张，但在比赛开始前，她感到很平静。这是因为她认为她在训练上付出了很多努力，家人也做出了很多牺牲。她也已经准备好度过美好的一天了，也就是说她有信心参赛。综上可推知，面对压力，Sodaro采用的是自我鼓励的方式。故选A。 27. D 标题概括题。本文主要讲述了34岁的Chelsea Sodaro在生下女儿18个月后，重返赛场，在夏威夷的VinFast铁人世界锦标赛上夺冠的故事。D项最能概括文章主要内容。故选D。 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的科学家们发现了一种新型的导电材料，这种材料在制作方式上与塑料类似，但导电方式更像金属。 28. A 推理判断题。文章第一段告诉我们：芝加哥大学的科学家们发现了一种新材料，这种材料可以像塑料一样制造出来，但导电方式更像金属。下文详细阐述了这种材料的特性。由此推断，本段主要是引出文章的说明对象。故选A。 29. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... to a scientist, it’s kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph ... if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material.”可知，作者在此处提及水上行驶的汽车是为了强调这种材料的创新性。故选D。 30. C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered.”可知，最令科学家震惊的是这种材料的分子结构是无序的。故选C。 31. B 观点态度题。根据文中的“extremely well”“extraordinarily useful”“enormously helpful”“attractive”等词汇以及最后一段提到的这种新材料的优点可知，作者对这种新型材料持肯定的态度。故选B。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在美国，越来越多的隔代人群（老年人和年轻人）选择居住在同一屋檐下这一现象。 32. C 细节理解题。根据第二段内容尤其是第一句“Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排) within the United States since 1971.”和最后一句中的“... that had many generations living under one roof”可知，文章所提到的这种正在增长的住房趋势指的是“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”。故选C。 33. B 段落大意题。由第三段的第一句以及后文中的“it’s because of”和“one main reason”可知，本段主要分析了“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”这种安排兴起的原因。故选B。 34. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知，Kaplan可以从年长的室友那里学会如何做园艺、烹饪鱼以及浪漫地生活。故选D。 35. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后三段中作者对两个年轻人与老人在一起生活的经历的描述，特别是其中的“It was perfect”和“why it’s so special”可以推断出，“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”这种安排效果良好。故选C。 第二节 本文是一篇说明文。友谊对每一个人来说都至关重要。本文提供了一些维系友谊并使之焕发生机与活力的建议。 36. D 空前一句提到人们通常认为“爱”是浪漫关系中的一种爱。而空后一句提到了新的看法——它有关爱和感激的传达。根据上下文可知，D项“但它不仅仅是牵手和亲吻。”符合此处的语境，且能起到承上启下的作用。故选D。 37. C 根据空前一句“Tell them how much they mean to you.”和空后一句中的“These simple acts”可知，空处应属于“These simple acts”中的一种。分析选项可知，C项“还有提醒他们你很感激认识他们。”符合语境。故选C。 38. G 本段围绕着“Be generous to your friends.”展开。G项“如果你在工作中加薪了，请朋友吃顿大餐吧。”与空前的“If you’re great with kids, you might offer to babysit for your friends who are parents.”都是慷慨之举。故选G。 39. A 分析文章结构及空处所在的位置可知，空处是本段的小标题。根据其他小标题的句式特点，可确定答案在A和F中。根据本段中“So don’t be afraid to share your struggles with your friends.”可知，本段内容主要与“分享”有关。故选A。 40. B 根据小标题及空后的内容可知，本段主要讲述的是“勇敢地处理冲突”。由空后一句中的“But”可知，空处与空后一句是转折关系。B项中的“deal with conflict in friendships”与空后一句中的“deal with conflict with friends”相呼应。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述演员安东尼·安德森30年前因经济困难休学，四年前他的儿子被他曾经就读的大学录取，安德森受到触动后重返校园，在51岁的时候完成了学业的故事。 41.

Bathed in sunshine, our class competed fiercely against Class 3, with the audience cheering wildly. The moment the referee blew the whistle, both teams tried to pull back as hard as they could. Although we won the first round, the other team didn’t lose heart and won the second round. The competition was filled with excitement and fun, ending in a draw. Not only did the competition help relieve our pressure from the heavy academic load, but it also strengthened our relationship with others. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 参考范文： Paragraph 1: “There’s a big food festival downtown today, and we got you a stand.” Jacob said. “Why not go there and give it a shot?” He continued to ask the kids, who could barely contain their excitement and jumped up with wide joy. “Yes, officers!” they exclaimed, a big smile broadening from ear to ear. It was not long before all the lemonade was gathered. The officers soon set up the lemonade stand and uploaded a post introducing their experience, which went viral and caused quite a stir in the neighbourhood. Grandma and the two kids were surprised to see their stand packed solid with people attracted by lemonade. Paragraph 2: There was a large crowd eager to buy lemonade. By the end of that day, the children were shocked to see that apart from the money raised, they also received loads of cards with warm and encouraging words. Grandma took the cards with trembling hands, cradling them in arms with tears brimming in her eyes. As soon as their mom was discharged from the hospital, they visited the police station and thanked the officers for their generosity and kindness. John and Nancy hugged Jacob tightly, knowing that they would never forget what they had been through and would cherish the love for good. 听力材料 Text 1 M: What do you like to watch on TV?

M: Well, you need to walk past Causeway Inn to the bus stop, catch the bus to Notting-Hill station and then the train to South City. It should take about an hour this time of day.

Now I’m going to talk about technology and learning. First of all, let’s talk about the Internet. There are several ways you can use to improve your English. You can read, listen and write. Firstly, writing practice is good for your learning. On the Internet there are two places where you can write — message boards and live chat rooms. Live chat rooms are great for improving your fluency, because you have to write quickly. People don’t want to wait too long to hear your response. A message board is good for both fluency and accuracy because you can think and prepare before you write. Also, the Internet is a good place to practice your listening. The Internet may be better than the radio as you can listen again and again. You should visit a good news site, such as the BBC. BBC radio is an incredible resource. The ability to listen repeatedly, and to pause, allows you to put into practice the advice I gave in the reading and listening skills section. In order to improve your listening, you have to be an active listener: make notes; try to write down the main points and new vocabulary. Finally, visit the website for the textbook. There are extra practice exercises and reading materials. It also offers learners special message boards. OK. That’s all for today. Thank you for listening. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$班别 学号 姓名」 2024-2025学年高二上学期10月考英语试卷答题卡 第三部分语言知识应用（第二节） 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 第四部分写作（第一节） Dear Jerry, Yours, Li Hua 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 第四部分写作（第二节） Paragraph 1: Paragraph 2: 2024-2025学年高二上学期10月考英语试卷 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.

Just 18 months after giving birth to her daughter, Skylar, the professional triathlete won the intense competition. The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race — a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. A resident in Reno, Nevada told Fox News Digital, “The IRONMAN World Championship is the most important part of our sport. All the best athletes show up ready to throw down”. Sodaro, shockingly, had only ever completed one IRONMAN prior to the World Championship — in June 2022. With just one other full IRONMAN finished, Chelsea Sodaro had to train hard for the championship. The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success. The triathlete trains roughly 25–30 hours a week across all areas of the race: swimming, biking and running. Training athletes like her also tend to lift weights and gain muscle to help them succeed in the race. However, this particular competition proved to be a challenge beyond the physical training aspect. Sodaro said the Big Island of Hawaii had unique climate conditions that required additional training on her part. But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. “I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day,” she said. So how did Sodaro make it to the finish line first? She said she stayed focused and didn’t panic when things went wrong. Sodaro crossed the finish line at 8:33:46. That made her the first rookie (新选手) to win the IRONMAN World Champion in 15 years and the first American in over 25 years. 24. What does the underlined phrase “throw down” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Beat others. B. Take up challenges. C. Create history. D. Get pleasure. 25. Why did Chelsea Sodaro win a big success in the race? A. She is good at various sports. B. Her preparation had gone well. C. She is an experienced competitor. D. The local residents gave her support. 26. How did Chelsea Sodaro respond to stress before the race? A. By encouraging herself. B. By giving herself a short break. C. By talking with her family. D. By adding more physical training. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Best IRONMAN Races in Kailua-Kona B. Female Athlete Returns After Having a Baby C. Chelsea Sodaro Crossed the Finish Line D. New Mom Wins IRONMAN Championship C Scientists of the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The research, published in Nature, shows how to make a kind of material in which the molecular (分子) pieces are disordered, but can still conduct electricity extremely well. This goes against all of the rules we know about conductivity — to a scientist, it’s kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph. The finding could be extraordinarily useful; if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material. To the scientists’ astonishment, the material easily and strongly conducted electricity. What’s more, it was very stable. “We heated it, cooled it, exposed it to air and in a wet environment, and even dropped acid and alkali (酸和碱) on it, and nothing happened,” said Xie, the first author on the paper. That is enormously helpful for a device that has to function in the real world. But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered. “From a fundamental picture, that should not be able to be a metal,” said Anderson, the senior author on the study. “There isn’t a solid theory to explain this.” One of the material’s attractive characteristics is that it has new options for processing. For example, metals usually have to be melted in order to be made into the right shape for a chip or device, which limits what you can make with them, since other components of the device have to be able to withstand (承受) the heat needed to process these materials. The new material has no such limitation because it can be made at room temperatures. It can still be used where the need for a device or pieces of the device to withstand heat, acid or alkali, or a wet environment has previously limited engineers’ options to develop new technology. 28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. Introduce the object to be explained. B. Provide an example to analyze. C. Offer some background information. D. Make necessary comparisons for the readers. 29. Why is a car driving on water mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the character of the car. B. To show the difficulty of the process. C. To explain the importance of speed. D. To highlight the creativity of the finding. 30. What made scientists amazed most about the material? A. Stable function. B. Easy conduction. C. Structural disorder. D. Flexible processing. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the new material? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Negative. D Who says that being roommates with someone from a completely different generation has to be strange? Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (代际的) roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living. Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排) within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍) since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59.7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof. There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age (平均预期寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier. According to a 25-year-old robotics student living in Massachusetts, Nadia Abdullah, who moved in with her 64-year-old roommate Judith in 2019, “It was perfect — Judith has become like my family.” Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from Boston and 30 minutes from her robotics job located in Beverly Mass. Nadia was matched with Judith through website, a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates. Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service and why it’s so special, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google — showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.” 32. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text? A. More people are living together as roommates. B. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family. C. Different generations are living under the same roof. D. Family members of different generations are living together. 33. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements. C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements. 34. What could Kaplan learn from the roommate? A. How to google special knowledge. B. How to build a garden. C. How to fish. D. How to live a romantic life. 35. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences? A. The website is popular with university students. B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other. C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well. D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements. 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。 Everyone needs friendship to survive.
