Financial literacy (素养) is no longer a skill reserved for adults; it is becoming a fundamental part of a child’s education. But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable resources, and no clear way to introduce these essential skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born. Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with essential money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive (沉浸式的) course. It offers comprehensive learning resources which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren't just about teaching — they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life. With a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, the program has earned widespread praise for its exceptional service and transformative impact on young learners. Parents have reported a noticeable shift in their children’s attitudes and behaviors after using Fin Free Kid’s products. Many children have developed the habit of saving money and learned to make more thoughtful spending choices. A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as “a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning. ” With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced resources for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses. “Our mission is to ensure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world, ” says Snehha Naarsaria, “The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations. ” 21. What contributed to Snehha’s creating Fin Free Kid? A. Rising concern about overspending. B. Lack of access to financial education. C. Her success as a professional accountant. D. Children’s urge to learn financial concepts. 22. In what aspect can children benefit from Fin Free Kid? A. Academic theories. B. Integrative competence. C. Reading techniques. D. Communication ability. 23. Why is a feature in The Economic Times mentioned? A. To criticize conventional financial education. B. To illustrate the means of financial education. C. To compare Fin Free Kid with other programs. D. To highlight Fin Free Kid’s groundbreaking role. 24. What is indicated about Fin Free Kid in the last paragraph? A. It’s complicated and varied. B. It will cooperate with parents. C. It’s successful and promising. D. It will focus on adults’ courses. B As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge. After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.” In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.” The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. 25 Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree. C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise. 26. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica? A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery. C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation. 27. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey? A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible. C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced. 28. What is the text mainly about? A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience. C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica. C Environmental groups have claimed success after bringing local wildlife back to Hackney Marshes in East London following the destruction of habitats in recent years. Weasels (鼬), wood mice and other small mammals (哺乳动物) had been disappearing from around the River Lea until hundreds of volunteers began rebuilding their ecosystems. All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.” With funding from Hackney Council, the mission was undertaken. Mr. Phillips explained wood mice’s disappearing caused a chain reaction. Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. “So three years ago, when we realized we were at a critical point, we took it upon ourselves to do something.” The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines, the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. “When you’ve got 3,000 dogs coming through here a day sometimes, there’s going to be death,” Mr. Philips added. This project shows what can be done with local knowledge and devotion in partnership with the council. The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. Meanwhile, Hackney Council has given them the green light to introduce other species like slow worms into Hackney Marshes. 29. How did Phillips’ feeling change? A. From doubtful to proud. B. From alarmed to astonished. C. From helpless to hopeful. D. From pressured to relieved. 30. What do Phillips’ words imply in paragraph 3? A. Wood mice will disappear completely. B. The ecosystem has been unstable. C. Every species in the ecosystem is vital. D. Their success relies on a joint effort. 31. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4? A. Causes of the disappearance of wildlife. B. Biological diversity in Hackney Marshes. C. Death threat from dogs to local mammals. D. Conflicts between tourism and conservation. 32. What are the rewilders attempting to do? A. Gain support of the local council. B. Educate the public on wildlife protection. C. Restore biodiversity in more areas. D. Monitor the foreign species in the region. D We all know that cars are dangerous to our health. Drivers of cars kill thousands every year directly by taking their lives away at the same time, and indirectly through pollution from exhausts (尾气). Then of course, there is the damage that drivers do to themselves by not getting exercise. I wrote last year that cars are killing us, and it is time to limit the damage to drivers and to people around them, just like we did with smoking. Environmental educator Arwen Birch has an interesting proposition that picks up on this. He thinks advertising of cars should be banned, just like it was for cigarettes in most of the world. “Smoking and car use have comparable health costs; yet while we have the strictest tobacco promotion laws in the world, we allow car companies to promote themselves uncontrolled.” Birch reminds us that just like cigarettes, car exhaust contains benzene and many other cancer-causing chemicals that build up inside the car. Besides, car exhausts contain a poisonous mix of chemicals that are involved in a wide range of diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s and respiratory illnesses. Researchers from the University of Melbourne argued recently that it is car use, not car accidents, that is the more significant killer. Of course, some people need cars, and nobody was very happy with my earlier proposal to ban them entirely from cities. Some people believe while banning car advertising might reduce the demand for big fancy car, Elon Musk hasn’t spent a cent on advertising and has had no trouble selling his cars. Rates of smoking have been dropping ever since tobacco advertising bans came into force in 1976. Given the enormous cost to public health and convenience facilities posed by cars, perhaps we could start considering we do the same with them. Readers often complain that I seem quick to trample (践踏) on people’s rights and freedoms, just because I don’t personally like being poisoned or squished (压坏). But at some point we have to ask what we can do to stop the destruction caused by the automobile, the pollution, the congestion, the murdering of children in the streets. Perhaps an ad ban is a place to start. What do you think? 33. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning so many damages that cars do to us in paragraph 1? A. To introduce his argument in this text. B. To show us the disadvantages of cars. C. To remind us of the potential harm of cars. D. To advise us to use less cars in our life. 34. What do we know from paragraph 2? A. Smoking is strictly forbidden on earth. B. Birch is a famous environment activist. C. Tobacco advertising is strictly banned. D. Car advertising is not allowed in many countries. 35. What does the author think of the ban on tobacco advertising? A. Strict. B. Successful. C. Abnormal. D. Stable. 36. What does the author think it is necessary for us to do first of all? A. To protect the environment. B. To spend less time on cars. C. To eat healthy foods. D. To ban car advertising. 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。 Life is full of peaks and valleys.

Please tell me that Coach Cafferty did NOT just say my name. Not for the one-hundred-meter breaststroke (蛙泳). Except all eyes were turned to me when she announced it, and her eyes met mine over the clipboard (剪贴板) that held the list of events and swimmers for the Plain Township Aquatic Center meet. The PTAC meet was the first of the season, and I was not ready. “Remember, the meet is on Wednesday night. Be here at four-thirty for and the race kicks off at six. I’ll see you at practice tomorrow.” Coach Cafferty added. The crowd cleared quickly and I headed back home, feeling desperate. “Did you find out your events for Wednesday?” Mom asked as she slid the pizza box across the table to me. “Yeah. One-hundred breaststroke,” I finally said, not meeting her eyes. “I don’t know why Coach didn’t give me backstroke (仰泳). She knows it’s my best. I can’t swim breaststroke!” “Maybe she sees something you don’t.” Mom said. “Or maybe I should just quit the swim team.” Mom frowned. “Is that what you want?” I sighed. “No.” I took a bite of my pizza. “I’m terrible at breaststroke. What happens when I show up on Wednesday and race, and I sink to the bottom of the pool? Or even worse，come in last?” “Someone has to be last.” Mom pointed out. “But I don’t even know if I can swim breaststroke for one-hundred meters!” I set my pizza down. “She had submitted the names, but there’s no way I can do this.” “You could. But how will you know unless you try?” Mom persuaded. “Yeah, but if I try, I could fail. In front of everyone.” I pictured the entire crowd watching as I finished last, pointing and laughing. My belly squeezed. Mom set her pizza down and gave me her I’m-saying-something-important-so-listen face. “Don’t worry about other people. Just race against yourself. Forget about anything else except doing your best and swimming your own race. Prove to yourself that you can do it.” Somehow, there seemed a mysterious power in her words comforting my unsettling heart and I decided to have a try. The next day, I was at practice as required. 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。 Paragraph 1: The first practice was a disaster. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then everything crashed in the last 5 meters of the race. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 白城一中2025级高三开学考 英语试卷 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. 此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the woman want to go?

Why does the speaker give the talk? A. To support the idea of banning fireworks. B. To announce a new regulation on fireworks. C. To free animals from being hurt by fireworks. 15. What issue does the speaker stress about fireworks? A. They are too loud. B. They cause pollution. C. They can be dangerous. 16. What is the speaker’s attitude toward China’s drone display? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Curious. 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 【解析】 【原文】 Many people in the UK enjoy fireworks, but I am part of those who think they should be banned (禁止). While it is nice for families to go and see professional firework shows, too many people are able to buy them privately. Children in towns and cities are regularly seen setting them off dangerously, even aiming them at animals or other people. This year, one woman has had enough. She made a request to ban the private sale of fireworks. She had managed to get one million people to sign her request, and was supported by an animal charity, due to how many animals were scared and frightened by fireworks. I understand letting fireworks off at New Year or other cultural events, but more and more people are using drone (无人驾驶飞机) shows instead. I read in the newspaper that China set the record for using over 10,000 drones rather than fireworks during a show. I think that is the future for these types of celebrations. 听下面一段对话，完成以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What is the woman worried about? A. How to get to the students’ union. B.

Financial literacy (素养) is no longer a skill reserved for adults; it is becoming a fundamental part of a child’s education. But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable resources, and no clear way to introduce these essential skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born. Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with essential money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive (沉浸式的) course. It offers comprehensive learning resources which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren't just about teaching — they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life. With a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, the program has earned widespread praise for its exceptional service and transformative impact on young learners. Parents have reported a noticeable shift in their children’s attitudes and behaviors after using Fin Free Kid’s products. Many children have developed the habit of saving money and learned to make more thoughtful spending choices. A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as “a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning. ” With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced resources for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses. “Our mission is to ensure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world, ” says Snehha Naarsaria, “The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations. ” 21. What contributed to Snehha’s creating Fin Free Kid? A. Rising concern about overspending. B. Lack of access to financial education. C. Her success as a professional accountant. D. Children’s urge to learn financial concepts. 22. In what aspect can children benefit from Fin Free Kid? A. Academic theories. B. Integrative competence. C. Reading techniques. D. Communication ability. 23. Why is a feature in The Economic Times mentioned? A. To criticize conventional financial education. B. To illustrate the means of financial education. C. To compare Fin Free Kid with other programs. D. To highlight Fin Free Kid’s groundbreaking role. 24. What is indicated about Fin Free Kid in the last paragraph? A. It’s complicated and varied. B. It will cooperate with parents. C. It’s successful and promising. D. It will focus on adults’ courses. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. D 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Snehha Naarsaria创立的儿童财商教育项目Fin Free Kid的诞生背景、运营模式及社会影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable resources, and no clear way to introduce these essential skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born.(但事实证明，向孩子传授金融概念比Snehha Naarsaria想象的要困难得多。没有引人入胜的工具，没有可靠的资源，也没有明确的方法向年轻人介绍这些基本技能。这种知识和应用之间的脱节深深打动了她，于是“Fin Free Kid”的想法诞生了。)”可知，Snehha Naarsaria发现缺乏适合儿童的财务管理教育资源，这促使她创立了Fin Free Kid。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with essential money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive course. It offers comprehensive learning resources which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren’t just about teaching — they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life.(Fin Free Kid是一项创新活动，通过吸引人的书籍、卡片、DIY工具包、海报和沉浸式课程，让孩子们掌握基本的理财技能。它提供全面的学习资源，涵盖金融知识的各个方面。这些资源不仅仅是用来教学的，它们还能让孩子们独立思考，做出明智的决定，并养成终身受益的习惯。)”可知，Fin Free Kid不仅教授知识，还培养孩子的综合能力，包括独立思考、做出明智决策和养成良好习惯。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as ‘a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning.’(《经济时报》的一篇专题文章将Fin Free Kid描述为“儿童金融教育的先驱，在一个关键的学习领域弥合了差距。”)”可知，《经济时报》的报道强调了Fin Free Kid在儿童财务教育领域的开创性作用。故选D项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced resources for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses.(随着Fin Free Kid在葡萄牙越来越受欢迎和家长的信任，它计划为年龄较大的孩子引入先进的资源，并扩大与学校的合作伙伴关系，将金融知识融入课程。)”可知，Fin Free Kid在葡萄牙越来越受欢迎，并且计划扩展其教育资源和学校合作，显示出其成功和潜力。故选C项。 B As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge. After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.” In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.” The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. 25. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree. C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise. 26. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica? A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery. C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation. 27. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey? A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible. C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced. 28. What is the text mainly about? A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience. C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica. 【答案】25. A 26. C 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱，渴望探险，不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后，她开始周游世界，并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.(在奇切斯特大学获得相关艺术学位后，Ginni开始周游世界，最终在日本和智利找到了教英语的工作。)”可知，此处是指做有挑战性的事情，所以take the plunge意为“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. (意识到这是一块宝贵的土地，应该受到人类的尊重，这是Ginni最深刻的感受之一)”可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极旅行的经历，再根据第一段“These gentle lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. (这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton的南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历) 能够概括文章主旨。故选B。 【点睛】 C Environmental groups have claimed success after bringing local wildlife back to Hackney Marshes in East London following the destruction of habitats in recent years. Weasels (鼬), wood mice and other small mammals (哺乳动物) had been disappearing from around the River Lea until hundreds of volunteers began rebuilding their ecosystems. All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.” With funding from Hackney Council, the mission was undertaken. Mr. Phillips explained wood mice’s disappearing caused a chain reaction. Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. “So three years ago, when we realized we were at a critical point, we took it upon ourselves to do something.” The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. “When you’ve got 3,000 dogs coming through here a day sometimes, there’s going to be death,” Mr. Philips added. This project shows what can be done with local knowledge and devotion in partnership with the council. The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. Meanwhile, Hackney Council has given them the green light to introduce other species like slow worms into Hackney Marshes. 29. How did Phillips’ feeling change? A. From doubtful to proud. B. From alarmed to astonished. C. From helpless to hopeful. D. From pressured to relieved. 30. What do Phillips’ words imply in paragraph 3? A. Wood mice will disappear completely. B. The ecosystem has been unstable. C. Every species in the ecosystem is vital. D. Their success relies on a joint effort. 31. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4? A. Causes of the disappearance of wildlife. B. Biological diversity in Hackney Marshes. C. Death threat from dogs to local mammals. D. Conflicts between tourism and conservation. 32. What are the rewilders attempting to do? A. Gain support of the local council. B. Educate the public on wildlife protection. C. Restore biodiversity in more areas. D. Monitor the foreign species in the region. 【答案】29. D 30. C 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述环保组织通过重建生态系统让伦敦哈克尼沼泽地野生动物回归的故事。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All he volunteers had been on edge realizing the increasingly urgent problem. Now, all paid off. Ian Phillips, an ecologist as well as one of the volunteers, said, “It finally happened. It was absolutely a comfort and pleasure to see everything fall into place.”(所有志愿者都曾因意识到这个日益紧迫的问题而焦虑不安。如今，一切努力都有了回报。生态学家兼志愿者之一的伊恩・菲利普斯（Ian Phillips）说：“这终于实现了。看到一切步入正轨，绝对是一种安慰和乐趣。”)”可知，菲利普斯的感受从紧张变为宽慰。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Weasels left the habitat, and that in turn impacted the population of a type of local bind, “It’s like a classic sort of building block game — if you pull any piece out of the local ecosystem, everything can collapse,” he said. (鼬离开了这片栖息地，这进而影响了当地一种鸟类的种群数量。“这就像一个经典的积木游戏 —— 如果你从当地生态系统中抽出任何一块，一切都可能崩塌，” 他说。)”可知，菲利普斯的话暗示生态系统中的每个物种都至关重要。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The departure of wildlife resulted mainly from larger numbers of visitors and houseboaters taking logs from the area to use for firewood. While these gatherings made the headlines, the loud noise and log burning caused great disturbance to local species, driving kingfishers and small birds to abandon their nests. A rise in dog ownership also posed a threat to Hackney Marshes’ mammals. (野生动物的离去主要源于大量游客和房船使用者从该区域砍伐原木用作柴火。尽管这些聚集活动成为了头条新闻，但巨大的噪音和焚烧原木的行为对当地物种造成了严重干扰，致使翠鸟和小型鸟类放弃了它们的巢穴。此外，养狗数量的增加也对哈克尼湿地（Hackney Marshes）的哺乳动物构成了威胁。)”可知，第四段主要谈论野生动物消失的原因。故选A项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The rewilders said they’re working to expand their efforts across the region into Millfields Park and London Fields. They are also actively training council staff to help them recover species in the wider area. (野生动物保护者表示，他们正致力于将保护工作从该区域拓展至米尔菲尔德公园（Millfields Park）和伦敦田野（London Fields）。他们还在积极培训市政工作人员，以协助其在更广泛的区域内开展物种恢复工作。)”可知，野生动物保护者正试图在更多地区恢复生物多样性。故选C项。 D We all know that cars are dangerous to our health. Drivers of cars kill thousands every year directly by taking their lives away at the same time, and indirectly through pollution from exhausts (尾气). Then of course, there is the damage that drivers do to themselves by not getting exercise. I wrote last year that cars are killing us, and it is time to limit the damage to drivers and to people around them, just like we did with smoking. Environmental educator Arwen Birch has an interesting proposition that picks up on this. He thinks advertising of cars should be banned, just like it was for cigarettes in most of the world. “Smoking and car use have comparable health costs; yet while we have the strictest tobacco promotion laws in the world, we allow car companies to promote themselves uncontrolled.” Birch reminds us that just like cigarettes, car exhaust contains benzene and many other cancer-causing chemicals that build up inside the car. Besides, car exhausts contain a poisonous mix of chemicals that are involved in a wide range of diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s and respiratory illnesses. Researchers from the University of Melbourne argued recently that it is car use, not car accidents, that is the more significant killer. Of course, some people need cars, and nobody was very happy with my earlier proposal to ban them entirely from cities. Some people believe while banning car advertising might reduce the demand for big fancy car, Elon Musk hasn’t spent a cent on advertising and has had no trouble selling his cars. Rates of smoking have been dropping ever since tobacco advertising bans came into force in 1976. Given the enormous cost to public health and convenience facilities posed by cars, perhaps we could start considering we do the same with them. Readers often complain that I seem quick to trample (践踏) on people’s rights and freedoms, just because I don’t personally like being poisoned or squished (压坏). But at some point we have to ask what we can do to stop the destruction caused by the automobile, the pollution, the congestion, the murdering of children in the streets. Perhaps an ad ban is a place to start. What do you think? 33. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning so many damages that cars do to us in paragraph 1? A. To introduce his argument in this text. B. To show us the disadvantages of cars. C. To remind us of the potential harm of cars. D. To advise us to use less cars in our life. 34. What do we know from paragraph 2? A. Smoking is strictly forbidden on earth. B. Birch is a famous environment activist. C. Tobacco advertising is strictly banned. D. Car advertising is not allowed in many countries. 35. What does the author think of the ban on tobacco advertising? A. Strict. B. Successful. C. Abnormal. D. Stable. 36. What does the author think it is necessary for us to do first of all? A. To protect the environment. B. To spend less time on cars. C. To eat healthy foods. D. To ban car advertising. 【答案】33. A 34. C 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了汽车对健康的危害及作者提议禁止汽车广告。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We all know that cars are dangerous to our health. Drivers of cars kill thousands every year directly by taking their lives away at the same time, and indirectly through pollution from exhausts (尾气). (我们都知道汽车对我们的健康有害。汽车司机每年直接夺走上千人的生命，同时通过尾气污染间接造成更多人死亡。)”以及第二段中“He thinks advertising of cars should be banned, just like it was for cigarettes in most of the world.(他认为应该禁止汽车广告，就像世界上大多数国家禁止香烟广告一样。)”可知，作者在第一段中提到汽车对我们造成的诸多危害，是为了引出本文的论点，即应该禁止汽车广告。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He thinks advertising of cars should be banned, just like it was for cigarettes in most of the world. “Smoking and car use have comparable health costs; yet while we have the strictest tobacco promotion laws in the world, we allow car companies to promote themselves uncontrolled.” (他认为应该禁止汽车广告，就像世界上大多数国家禁止香烟广告一样。“吸烟和开车对健康的影响不相上下；然而，虽然我们有世界上最严格的烟草推广法律，但我们却允许汽车公司不受控制地自我宣传。”)”可知，烟草广告被严格禁止。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Rates of smoking have been dropping ever since tobacco advertising bans came into force in 1976. (自从1976年禁止烟草广告以来，吸烟率一直在下降。)”可知，作者认为禁止烟草广告是成功的，因为它导致了吸烟率的下降。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Perhaps an ad ban is a place to start. What do you think? (也许禁止广告是一个开始。你觉得呢？)”可知，作者认为我们首先要做的是禁止汽车广告。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。 Life is full of peaks and valleys.

Please tell me that Coach Cafferty did NOT just say my name. Not for the one-hundred-meter breaststroke (蛙泳). Except all eyes were turned to me when she announced it, and her eyes met mine over the clipboard (剪贴板) that held the list of events and swimmers for the Plain Township Aquatic Center meet. The PTAC meet was the first of the season, and I was not ready. “Remember, the meet is on Wednesday night. Be here at four-thirty for and the race kicks off at six. I’ll see you at practice tomorrow.” Coach Cafferty added. The crowd cleared quickly and I headed back home, feeling desperate. “Did you find out your events for Wednesday?” Mom asked as she slid the pizza box across the table to me. “Yeah. One-hundred breaststroke,” I finally said, not meeting her eyes. “I don’t know why Coach didn’t give me backstroke (仰泳). She knows it’s my best. I can’t swim breaststroke!” “Maybe she sees something you don’t.” Mom said. “Or maybe I should just quit the swim team.” Mom frowned. “Is that what you want?” I sighed. “No.” I took a bite of my pizza. “I’m terrible at breaststroke. What happens when I show up on Wednesday and race, and I sink to the bottom of the pool? Or even worse，come in last?” “Someone has to be last.” Mom pointed out. “But I don’t even know if I can swim breaststroke for one-hundred meters!” I set my pizza down. “She had submitted the names, but there’s no way I can do this.” “You could. But how will you know unless you try?” Mom persuaded. “Yeah, but if I try, I could fail. In front of everyone.” I pictured the entire crowd watching as I finished last, pointing and laughing. My belly squeezed. Mom set her pizza down and gave me her I’m-saying-something-important-so-listen face. “Don’t worry about other people. Just race against yourself. Forget about anything else except doing your best and swimming your own race. Prove to yourself that you can do it.” Somehow, there seemed a mysterious power in her words comforting my unsettling heart and I decided to have a try. The next day, I was at practice as required. 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。 Paragraph 1: The first practice was a disaster. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then everything crashed in the last 5 meters of the race. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The first practice was a disaster. I didn’t swim breaststroke for one-hundred meters and sank to the bottom of the pool. I could feel people surrounding were all pointing and laughing. What a shame! Face blushing, I was about to give up again when mom’s words resounded in my mind, “Don’t worry about other people. Just race against yourself.” Calmness gradually seizing me, I continued to practise and gradually made progress in the following practices. Finally, Wednesday came and I arrived at the pool hall nervously. Soon it was my turn and to my surprise, I had a good beginning. Paragraph 2: Then everything crashed in the last 5 meters of the race. My legs were pillars of lead. I kicked, but it felt like I was moving through cement. My arms were on fire, and my lungs were bursting. I slapped it with what little energy I had left. There was no one else left in the pool. I had finished last. After the meet, Mom found me, exhausted, collapsing in a chair. “I’m so proud of you,” she said. “I lost.” “Yeah.” She nodded. “But you did it, right?” I bit my lip. “Yeah. I guess I did.” I didn’t come close to placing, but I had given everything I had to finish. “I swam my race. And I think I won.” Race is not only to beat your competitors but also to race against yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被选为参加一百米蛙泳比赛，但是作者并不擅长，担心自己会输掉比赛，后来在母亲的开导下，作者认真训练，并参加了比赛，尽管最后并未得到冠军，但是战胜了自己。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第一次练习是一场灾难。”可知，第一段可描写作者第一次训练，情况很糟糕，但是想到母亲的话，最后作者坚持了下来。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后在比赛的最后5米，一切都崩溃了。”可知，第二段可描写作者最后还是输掉了比赛，母亲来安慰作者，虽然没有赢竞争对手，但是赢了自己。 2. 续写线索：被选为参加一百米蛙泳比赛——感到担心——向母亲抱怨——母亲安慰——参加训练——坚持完成比赛——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回响：resound/reverberate ②练习：practise/train/discipline ③我认为：I think/I consider/in my opinion ④完成：finish/accomplish/complete 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervously/anxiously/restlessly ②惊讶：surprise/amaze/astonish 【点睛】[高分句型1] Face blushing, I was about to give up again when mom’s words resounded in my mind, “Don’t worry about other people.(运用了独立主格作状语和when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] I kicked, but it felt like I was moving through cement.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。听下面对话，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。Can you help me out?
