But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation. Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.” With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will. 4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By posing a contrast. B. By reporting an event. C. By assuming a situation. D. By making an appeal. 5. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians? A. The support from his parents. B. The passion for dental health. C. The encounter with local s lacking dental care. D. The professional skills and knowledge from college. 6. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi? A. Hopeful and diligent. B. Faithful and ambitious. C. Intelligent and creative. D. Charitable and dedicated. 7. What do we know about Porsorriso? A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need. B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority. C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals. D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care. C Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope? Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close? These are examples of skeuomorphs, which are when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. Why would new things want to look like something old? It’s all to do with human psychology. Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 8. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? A. B. C. D. 9. How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A. User-friendly. B. Safety-centered. C. Energy-saving. D. Cost-effective. 10. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A. Users became accustomed to technology. B. These products were expensive to design. C. Young people rejected traditional designs. D. The existing standards had been updated. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress. C. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D. The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs. D Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s. Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals. The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre. Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat. “That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.” 12. What can the laser camera be used for? A. Improving the usage of stethoscope. B. Measuring blood pressure remotely. C. Recording images of the human throat. D. Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system? A. How it works. B. Where it is used. C. Whom it benefits. D. What it is composed of. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4? A. Consistency. B. Complexity C. Sensitivity. D. Intensity. 15. What role does AI play in this system? A. To measure skin movements. B. To recognize heartbeat vibrations. C. To record images at high speeds. D. To shine a laser beam on the skin. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example. After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time. ___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed. Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations. On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along. A. It helps widen perspectives. B. This method has its limitations. C. That was when I took up speed reading. D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles. E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books. F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading. G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15题，每小题1分，满分15分） Mr. Dalton taught us plane geometry (平面几何) 37 years ago.

We were required to write out the ____24____ using our theorems (定理). I completed 24 problems quickly, but number seventeen was a lion ____25____ I spent thirty minutes on that proof and ____26____ I pulled it off with all my efforts. With ____27____ I marked the question true and handed in the test. The next day I got my score, a 96, and number seventeen was ____28____ wrong When Mr. Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, my hand ____29____. Instead of ____30____ this was a nationally standardized test and that there couldn’t be any ____31____. Mr. Dalton did the most powerful thing I’ve ever seen a teacher do: he held out the chalk to me with an encouraging smile. Murmurs spread through the classroom — some classmates exchanged ____32____ glances while others leaned forward, curiosity sparking in their eyes. I was hesitant for a moment, then went to the board and demonstrated my proof, using the whole board and three different colors of chalk. In the end, everyone clapped. Mr. Dalton gave ____33____ for my answer, and I ended up with a full mark. When I returned 37 years later to visit him again, Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默氏症) had ____34____ his mind, but he still wore a happy grin. I have been grateful to Mr. Dalton, for I could ____35____ have remained silent rather than challenging his authority or speaking up when I think I’m right. 21.

Scientists have found ways to get large amounts of oil from duckweed — one of the fastest-growing water plants. Turning such plant oil into biodiesel for transportation and ____36____ (heat) could support a sustainable future. In a new study, researchers genetically modified duckweed to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans. A biochemist said future work may double the ____37____ (engineer) duckweed’s oil output soon. Biofuels, which are distinct from fossil fuels ____38____ form underground, possess renewability and their consumption rate ____39____ (exceed) by regeneration speed. They also have lower carbon footprints. However, biofuels face ____40____ (criticize) because large crop ____41____ (volume) are used for energy instead of food, and much farmland is used to grow biofuel plants. Duckweed grows worldwide and is highly productive. It could be a revolutionary energy source for three reasons. First, it grows ____42____ (ready) in water and doesn’t need farmland. Second, it thrives in polluted water. Third, scientists found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier. For ____43____ new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an oil-producing gene, “turning it on like a light switch” ____44____ introducing a particular molecule only when the plant had finished growing. “To expand production to industrial levels, scientists will need to design and produce large-scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil is a challenge,” a researcher says, “____45____ duckweed is a non-mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，就读于一所国际学校，你校为了增加学生课间的运动量，设计了 “举手之劳，锻炼的不只是手臂” 的标语。请你写一篇英语发言稿，内容包括： 1. 解读标语的含义； 2. 提出你的倡议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last weekend, I was standing at the finish line of the St. Francis Franny Flyer 5K (5公里赛) route, waiting for my nine-year-old son Kade to pass by. Kade, though a fourth-grader, was already an experienced runner. He had been a part of a cross-country club since he was six years old. He had loved to run for as long as he could remember. He had been working hard to improve his endurance and running skills as he was determined to be a professional runner and compete in national and international races when he was older. There were two St. Francis Franny Flyer races happening at the same time that day. The 5K race weaved through neighborhoods, from the church to Pinecone Road and back while the 10K followed the same route but extended north on Pinecone Road. Race volunteers were available on Pinecone Road to show runners the way, and there were also signs directing the two different courses. I signed Kade up for the 5K race as a way to train him for the Junior Olympics. He had never run a 10K, not even in training, so the 10K race was never an option. Kade was pretty fast and he set a 5K record for his age group at last year’s race, so I was surprised to see slower runners crossing the finish line before him. “This is weird. He should be ahead of them. He might just be having a bad race,” I thought to myself. But as the minutes passed, my worry intensified. My heart raced at the thought that Kade might be lost or injured. Anxious and worried, I drove along the 5K race route in search of Kade, but he was nowhere to be found. A surge of fear and despair overwhelmed me, causing a flood of tears to pour down my face. I turned to race officials and volunteers for help, and people started looking for him 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。 Later a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Kade appeared and crossed the finish line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三年级英语素养测试卷 命题人、审题人：刘梅芳、邓玉婷 时间：2025. 8 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.

A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation. Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.” With the support of his parents Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will. 4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By posing a contrast. B. By reporting an event. C. By assuming a situation. D. By making an appeal. 5. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians? A. The support from his parents. B. The passion for dental health. C. The encounter with local s lacking dental care. D. The professional skills and knowledge from college. 6. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi? A. Hopeful and diligent. B Faithful and ambitious. C. Intelligent and creative. D Charitable and dedicated. 7. What do we know about Porsorriso? A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need. B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority. C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals. D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴西牙医Felipe Rossi创建了非政府组织Porsorriso，致力于为贫困地区的低收入人群提供免费的口腔治疗服务。尽管面临资金和运营挑战，Rossi及其团队仍坚持帮助需要的人，传递健康微笑，增强当地民众的自信。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.(对我们中的一些人来说，去牙医那里做例行检查是一件很平常的事情。但对世界上许多人来说，尤其是那些生活在贫困地区的人来说，改善牙齿和检查牙齿根本是不可能的。巴西牙医费利佩·罗西致力于帮助改变这种状况)”可知，文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查，而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况，引出了文章的主题，即巴西牙医Felip e Rossi致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此，作者通过提出对比来引入文章的主题。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”(‘并不是所有的当地人都能得到牙科护理，因此，很多人的牙齿都变形了，甚至掉了牙，导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’Felipe Rossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说，用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知，Felipe Rossi在巴西的Balsabo地区看到当地人没有机会接受牙科治疗，很多人因此牙齿变形或甚至失去牙齿，这激发了他提供牙科治疗的决心；由此可知，是当地人缺乏牙科护理的情况促使Felipe为巴西人提供牙科治疗。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”(‘并不是所有的当地人都能得到牙科护理，因此，很多人的牙齿都变形了，甚至掉了牙，导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’Felipe Rossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说，用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知，Felipe Rossi想要利用自己的技能为遭受牙科问题的人们带来健康的笑容，这表明他具有慈善精神。在最后一段中“As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.(尽管目标崇高，Felipe承认Porsorriso正在‘挣扎着生存’，因为提供牙科治疗的巨大成本和他们必须举行的持续筹款活动以保持非政府组织的正常运作。‘虽然这很有挑战性，但它确实给当地人带来了健康的牙齿，并重新树立了信心。无论我们面临什么困难，我们都将继续这一变革行动。’斐利贝带着强烈的意志说)”可知，他承认Porsorriso的生存很困难，但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动，无论他们将面临什么困难，这表明他具有奉献精神。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.(赞助通常由两家私人公司提供。个人也可以通过‘微笑团结’计划捐款，他们可以选择每月的捐款数额。Porsorriso还定期举行筹款活动，为全国各地提供免费牙科服务)”可知，Porsorriso是由企业和个人提供经济支持。故选C项。 C Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope? Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close? These are examples of skeuomorphs, which are when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. Why would new things want to look like something old? It’s all to do with human psychology. Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 8. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? A. B. C. D. 9. How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A. User-friendly. B. Safety-centered. C. Energy-saving. D. Cost-effective. 10. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A. Users became accustomed to technology. B. These products were expensive to design. C. Young people rejected traditional designs. D. The existing standards had been updated. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress. C. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D. The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拟物化设计在现代科技中的应用及其历史根源，解释了为什么新事物往往模仿旧事物的外观或声音，并讨论了随着技术进步，拟物化设计逐渐被平面设计取代，但在智能手表等新领域中又重新兴起，并且可能会一直存在。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“These are examples of skeuomorphs, which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. (这些都是拟物化设计的例子，也就是新事物呈现出被它们取代的物体的外观或声音)”可知，拟物化设计是指让新事物的外观或声音与被取代的旧事物相同。比较选项中的图标可知，C项的图标呈现的是过去常用的手电筒的外观，属于拟物化设计。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. (心理学家James Gibson说，人们了解世界的方式之一是通过功能可见性——物体的形状告诉你如何使用它们。在创造新的数字技术时，像苹果公司的Steve Jobs这样的发明家使用了拟物化设计，这样人们就会知道如何使用他们的产品。通过向人们展示他们已经知道如何使用的东西的图像，它让使用电脑或智能手机变得更容易)”可知，拟物化设计更易于实现功能可见性，让使用者通过已知如何使用的东西的图像，知道如何使用新产品。由此可知，人们会觉得拟物化设计是用户友好的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. (然而，随着人们对现代科技的熟悉，一些设计师认为拟物化设计不再是必要的)”可知，一些设计师认为没有必要使用拟物化设计是因为用户已经习惯了科技。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. (虽然这些都是今天人们使用拟物化设计的方式，但这并不意味着它只是一个现代现象。事实上，1899年，考古学家Henry Colley March首次使用了这个词，他意识到一些古代文物保留了更古老物体的外观，尽管没有实际的理由这样做。当古希腊建筑者从使用木材转向使用石头时，他们重现了木制建筑的一些特征。从古希腊建筑到21世纪的科技，拟物化设计一直是科学进步的一个关键特征。所以，当你对未来的事物感到好奇时，看看周围。它们很可能看起来很像过去的物品)”可知，本段先指出拟物化设计并非现代现象，然后追溯这一概念的历史起源和在考古中的发现，最后点明其重要性，表明拟物化设计在未来很可能依然存在。因此，本段主要是说明拟物化设计会一直存在。故选D项。 D Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s. Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value, as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals. The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre. Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat. “That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.” 12. What can the laser camera be used for? A. Improving the usage of stethoscope. B. Measuring blood pressure remotely. C. Recording images of the human throat. D. Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system? A. How it works. B. Where it is used. C. Whom it benefits. D. What it is composed of. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4? A. Consistency. B. Complexity C. Sensitivity. D. Intensity. 15. What role does AI play in this system? A. To measure skin movements. B. To recognize heartbeat vibrations. C. To record images at high speeds. D. To shine a laser beam on the skin. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了格拉斯哥大学的研究人员利用人工智能和量子技术，成功研发了一款激光相机，能够用于远程检测心跳。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Glasgow University researchers have created a laser(激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring.(格拉斯哥大学的研究人员利用人工智能和量子技术制造了一种激光相机，可以远程检测一个人的心跳，这可能会改变健康监测。)”可知，这款激光相机可以远程检测一个人的心跳。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery(动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.(Faccio和他的团队开发的这个系统包括高速相机，可以以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像。激光束照射在人喉咙的皮肤上，反射光被用来准确测量当血液被迫通过主动脉时，他们的皮肤在主动脉扩张和收缩时的升降幅度。这些变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。)”可知，本段主要讲述了这个系统的工作原理。故选A。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的Such可知，Such acuity指的是前文的内容，结合第三段中的“The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second.(Faccio和他的团队开发的这个系统包括高速相机，可以以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像。)”和“These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.(这些变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。)”可知，这个系统以每秒2000帧的速度记录图像，而且记录的变化只涉及几十亿分之一米的运动。由此可推测出，这个系统非常灵敏。acuity意为“敏锐”，和sensitivity意思相近。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that.(我们使用先进的计算系统来区分除人的心跳引起的振动之外的所有东西。我们知道人类心跳的频率范围，人工智能专注于此。)”可知，人工智能专注于识别心跳的振动。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example. After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time. ___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed. Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations. On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along. A. It helps widen perspectives. B. This method has its limitations. C. That was when I took up speed reading. D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles. E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books. F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading. G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过分享自己的阅读经历，探讨了不同的阅读方法及其对学习和理解的影响。 【16题详解】 上文提到“It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book(这是一种缓慢但能更深入地吸收书籍内容的方式)”，说明作者之前的阅读方式较慢。后文“My struggle with Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example(我早期阅读陀思妥耶夫斯基的《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》时的艰难经历就是一个很好的例子)”，表明因为阅读方式慢，读厚书很费劲。选项E“That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books(这就是为什么我花了几个月时间才读完那些厚书)”中的“That’s why”承接上文的慢阅读方式，“took me months to finish heavy books”与后文读《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》的艰难相呼应。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文说“Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages(很多个夜晚，我都熬夜到午夜过后，翻阅着书页)”，表明为了工作阅读量很大。后文“It helped me breeze through my reading requirements(它帮助我轻松完成了阅读任务)”，说明有一种方法让阅读变得轻松。选项C“That was when I took up speed reading(就在那时我开始了速读)”中的“took up speed reading”解释了能轻松完成阅读任务的原因，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 后文“I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. (我不再只专注于一本书，而是在几本书之间切换，每本花大约半个小时。目前，我正在读六本书，处于不同的阶段，还有更多的书即将开始。)”，说明现在的阅读习惯是同时读多本书。选项F“Nowadays I’ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading(如今我养成了同时阅读多本书的习惯)”，准确概括了后文的内容，引出下文。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据下文“However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.(然而，它往往会限制你在新的和不同的情况下应用知识的方式。)”中的转折和提到的“Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”的局限性可知，空格处的句子应该提到“集Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”的好处，G项“This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.(这种方法对于掌握单个概念是有效的。)”提到“Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”对掌握单个概念的作用，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 前文提到“Interleaved Practice(交叉练习法)”的好处“could produce dramatic, long - lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills(可以产生显著的、持久的学习效果。通过在不同主题之间切换，读者可以在不同的想法和技能之间建立联系)”。选项A“It helps widen perspectives(它有助于拓宽视野)”，进一步说明了交叉练习法的好处，与前文内容相呼应，it代指上文的“Interleaved Practice”。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15题，每小题1分，满分15分） Mr. Dalton taught us plane geometry (平面几何) 37 years ago.

Scientists have found ways to get large amounts of oil from duckweed — one of the fastest-growing water plants. Turning such plant oil into biodiesel for transportation and ____36____ (heat) could support a sustainable future. In a new study, researchers genetically modified duckweed to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans. A biochemist said future work may double the ____37____ (engineer) duckweed’s oil output soon. Biofuels, which are distinct from fossil fuels ____38____ form underground, possess renewability and their consumption rate ____39____ (exceed) by regeneration speed. They also have lower carbon footprints. However, biofuels face ____40____ (criticize) because large crop ____41____ (volume) are used for energy instead of food, and much farmland is used to grow biofuel plants. Duckweed grows worldwide and is highly productive. It could be a revolutionary energy source for three reasons. First, it grows ____42____ (ready) in water and doesn’t need farmland. Second, it thrives in polluted water. Third, scientists found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier. For ____43____ new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an oil-producing gene, “turning it on like a light switch” ____44____ introducing a particular molecule only when the plant had finished growing. “To expand production to industrial levels, scientists will need to design and produce large-scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil is a challenge,” a researcher says, “____45____ duckweed is a non-mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure.” 【答案】36. heating 37. engineered 38. which## that 39. is exceeded 40. criticism 41. volumes 42. readily 43. the 44. by 45. because 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家发现从浮萍这种快速生长的水生植物中获取大量油的方法，将其转化为生物柴油可为可持续未来提供支持，尽管将浮萍大规模生产用于能源面临一些挑战，但浮萍因无需农田、能在污水中生长等特点，有望成为革命性的能源来源。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：将这种植物油转化为用于交通运输和供暖的生物柴油，有助于实现可持续发展的未来。此处与transportation并列，作介词for的宾语，应用动名词形式heating，表示“供暖”。故填heating。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一位生物化学家表示，未来的研究可能很快会使经过基因改造的浮萍的产油量翻倍。duckweed与动词engineer“改变……的基因（或遗传）结构”之间为逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词转化的形容词engineered作定语，修饰名词duckweed，表示“经过基因改造的”。故填engineered。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：生物燃料与在地下形成的化石燃料不同，具有可再生性，其消耗速度低于再生速度。“____3____ form underground”为定语从句，先行词为fossil fuels，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导定语从句。故填which/that。 【39题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：生物燃料与在地下形成的化石燃料不同，具有可再生性，其消耗速度低于再生速度。句中consumption rate与exceed之间是被动关系，且此处描述一般情况，应用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语consumption rate是第三人称单数，所以用is exceeded。故填is exceeded。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，生物燃料面临批评，因为大量农作物被用于能源而非食品，并且大量农田被用来种植生物燃料作物。根据空前的face可知，此处应用名词criticism，意为“批评”，作宾语。故填criticism。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：然而，生物燃料面临批评，因为大量农作物被用于能源而非食品，并且大量农田被用来种植生物燃料作物。volume“量，额”为可数名词，根据语境及谓语are可知，此处应用复数形式volumes，作主语。故填volumes。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：首先，它很容易在水中生长，不需要农田。此处修饰动词grows，应用副词readily，意为“容易地，轻易地”。故填readily。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：对于这项新研究，尚克林说，研究人员添加了一个产油基因，“就像打开电灯开关一样，仅在植物生长完成后引入一种特定分子。”此处特指上文提到的新研究，应用定冠词the。故填the。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：对于这项新研究，尚克林说，研究人员添加了一个产油基因，“就像打开电灯开关一样，仅在植物生长完成后通过引入一种特定分子。”根据语境，此处表示“通过某种方式”，应用介词by。故填by。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：一位研究人员说：“要将生产规模扩大到工业水平，科学家们需要设计并建造大规模的基地来种植经过基因改造的植物，获取油是一项挑战，因为浮萍是一种非主流作物，现有的基础设施并不多。”前后句之间是因果关系，后句解释前句中获取油是挑战的原因，所以用连词because。故填because。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，就读于一所国际学校，你校为了增加学生课间的运动量，设计了 “举手之劳，锻炼的不只是手臂” 的标语。请你写一篇英语发言稿，内容包括： 1. 解读标语的含义； 2. 提出你的倡议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear fellow students, Our school’s slogan, “Raising hands exercises more than arms” carries a deep message.

Kade, though a fourth-grader, was already an experienced runner. He had been a part of a cross-country club since he was six years old. He had loved to run for as long as he could remember. He had been working hard to improve his endurance and running skills as he was determined to be a professional runner and compete in national and international races when he was older. There were two St. Francis Franny Flyer races happening at the same time that day. The 5K race weaved through neighborhoods, from the church to Pinecone Road and back while the 10K followed the same route but extended north on Pinecone Road. Race volunteers were available on Pinecone Road to show runners the way, and there were also signs directing the two different courses. I signed Kade up for the 5K race as a way to train him for the Junior Olympics. He had never run a 10K, not even in training, so the 10K race was never an option. Kade was pretty fast and he set a 5K record for his age group at last year’s race, so I was surprised to see slower runners crossing the finish line before him. “This is weird. He should be ahead of them. He might just be having a bad race,” I thought to myself. But as the minutes passed, my worry intensified. My heart raced at the thought that Kade might be lost or injured. Anxious and worried, I drove along the 5K race route in search of Kade, but he was nowhere to be found. A surge of fear and despair overwhelmed me, causing a flood of tears to pour down my face. I turned to race officials and volunteers for help, and people started looking for him 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。 Later, a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Kade appeared and crossed the finish line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Later, a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course. Knowing that he was safe, I let out a sigh of relief. Despite hearing that Kade seemed to be running well, worry hang over me as I realized he had taken a wrong turn and was now running a longer and more challenging race than he had ever trained for I couldn’t help but pace back and forth at the finish line, anxiously searching for any sign of my son. With every runner approaching, my heart leaped in hope, only to sink in disappointment when it wasn’t him. Finally, Kade appeared and crossed the finish line. Relief washed over me at the sight of his face. I hugged him tightly, overwhelmed with pride for his courage, determination, and resilience. “What happened? Why did you end up on the 10K course?” I asked my son eagerly. “A race volunteer directed me the wrong way. I didn’t realize the mistake until I saw the 10K turnaround sign, but I didn’t want to give up halfway,” explained Kade. At that moment, I knew without doubt that he was to become a professional runner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去看儿子凯德参加跑步比赛，半路作者没有看到儿子，担心儿子迷路，最后儿子顺利完成比赛，也学会了变得坚毅勇敢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，一位志愿者告诉我，他在10K跑道上看到了凯德。”可知，第一段可描写凯德比赛中的表现以及作者的内心变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，凯德出现了，冲过了终点线。”可知，第二段可描写凯德完成比赛，作者内心的感受。 2.续写线索：被告知儿子消息——焦急等待——凯德出现——完成比赛——自豪拥抱——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search for/look for ②靠近：approach/get close ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②毅力：resilience/perseverance 【点睛】[高分句型1] Knowing that he was safe, I let out a sigh of relief.
