After listening to a concert of Handel’s Water Music which was played on tuned wine glasses, he developed the armonica — named for the Italian word ‘armonia’, meaning ‘harmony’ — as a musical instrument that could copy the high-pitched, almost heavenly, ringing noise of rubbing a finger around the top of a wine glass. Invented in 1761, it comprised 37 glass bowls of various sizes and thicknesses lined up in an overlapping (交叠) horizontal stack on a rotating spindle (轴). The player turned them all at once with a foot pedal, while rubbing their fingers against the rings of the desired bowls to make them ‘sing’. The bowls did not need liquid inside since they had been made by London-based glassblower Charles James to precise specifications so that each produced a different note. Franklin adored the “incomparably sweet” tones of the armonica and would always travel with the instrument to play at his leisure. In the years after its first performance in 1762, it became a favourite of many musicians and composers across Europe, such as Mozart, who wrote an Adagio and Rondo for the instrument. Other composers who wrote for it include Beethoven and Saint-Saëns. Yet the instrument’s impact had consequences Franklin could not have anticipated, as questions were raised over whether its sounds affected people’s health. There was a widespread belief that the high-pitch humming could bring about madness. One German magazine claimed that the armonica “excessively stimulates the nerves, leads the player into a disturbing depression and hence into a dark and sad mood, which is a possible method for slow self-destruction”. No explanation or proof was ever really given to any of these claims. Franklin himself ignored the controversy and continued to play the instrument until the end of his life with none of the symptoms mentioned. But the armonica never really returned to what it had been when it was first introduced. 4. What inspired Benjamin Franklin to make the glass armonica? A. His fascination with Water Music. B. A concert featuring wine glass music. C. A suggestion from the composer Handel. D. His desire to invent a new musical instrument. 5. What is the focus of the second paragraph about the glass armonica? A. Its theoretical basis. B. The inventing process. C. The needed materials. D. Its working mechanism. 6. Why is Mozart mentioned in Para 3? A. To show popularity of the glass armonica at that time. B. To demonstrate Franklin’s influence on other composers. C. To illustrate Mozart’s preference for new musical instruments. D. To highlight the armonica’s superiority to other musical instruments. 7. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Franklin persisted in playing the instrument to justify its safety. B. Public perception influenced the popularity of the glass armonica. C. The glass armonica should have been banned because of health concerns. D. The patients in low spirits were more likely to be affected by the glass armonica. C The first malaria drug for newborn babies and those weighing less than 11 pounds has been approved by Swiss medical authorities in a move that could bridge a treatment gap for some of those most vulnerable to the disease, developers and experts say. Coartem Baby, also known as Riamet Baby, was developed by the Swiss nonprofit organization Medicines for Malaria venture in cooperation with the Swiss drug company Novartis to treat the deadly mosquito-borne and parasite (寄生虫)-infected illness, MMV said in a statement Tuesday. Despite being both preventable and treatable, malaria remains a serious global health threat, with 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths worldwide in 2023. Children under 5 are some of the most vulnerable, accounting for about 76 percent of all malaria deaths in the WHO’s Africa region, according to 2023 figures. “The newly authorized product addresses a critical treatment gap for one of the most vulnerable patient populations — young infants suffering from malaria, and the drug can be absorbed by liquid, including breast milk, and has a sweet cherry flavor to make it easier to deliver.” Swissmedic, Switzerland’s health agency said. It said the development of a formula especially for children marked a “significant step forward in the global fight against malaria.” Coartem contains a combination of the antimalarial drugs artemether and lumefantrine, which is already approved for use in patients weighing more than 11 pounds. However, there had been no approved treatment for babies weighing less than this. Most birth weights are between 5.2 pounds and 9.7 pounds. Bhargavi Rao, the co-director of the Malaria Center, who was not involved in the research, said the new treatment is a welcome development for both very young babies and malnourished (营养不良的) children who don’t come under normal treatment guidance. “Traditionally, people had said sort of small babies didn’t get malaria because they were protected by the mothers’ immune system, but I think we’re increasingly recognizing that sufferings in very small children are not insignificant and they just present in very different ways. Even very low levels of parasites can give fairly severe malaria and death,” she told The Washington Post. 8. What is the primary purpose of developing Coartem Baby? A. To replace the existing malaria treatments. B. To offer newborns a treatment for malaria. C. To fight against the malnutrition in children. D. To reduce the costs of the antimalaria drugs. 9. Which makes Coartem Baby especially suitable for young babies? A. Its ability to melt and its sweet taste. B. Its effectiveness in treating the malaria. C. Its combination of two antimalarial drugs. D. Its potential to strengthen the immune system. 10. Which of the following statements might Bhargavi Rao agree with? A. Young infants are immune to malaria. B. Malaria isn’t as serious in infants as in adults. C. Mild malaria infections can be deadly in babies. D. Normal treatment is accessible to malnourished babies. 11. What could be the best title of the passage? A. World’s First Malaria Drug Approved B. More Attention Paid to Malaria in Babies C. Malaria — No Longer a Threat to Newborns D. A Breakthrough in Malaria Drug for Infants D Many young people feel crushed when they think about their ability to buy a home, but it doesn’t mean they’re giving up on the dream. The average age of first-time home-buyers rose to an all-time high of 38 last year. More than 6 in 10 Gen Z and millennial non-homeowners said they’re envious of peers who have bought houses. Despite their desires, 61% of non-homeowners are less confident they will ever own than they were at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and over half said they feel they’ve missed their opportunity. Thanks to high mortgage (抵押贷款) rates and home prices, Americans today need to earn about 70% more than they did six years ago to comfortably afford a medium-priced home. To buy a house the national medium list price of $431,250, realtor.com estimates a household needs to earn about $114,000 each year. While some young people feel home ownership isn’t in the cards for them, others are getting financial help from relatives to make that big purchase. And others are considering unconventional ways to beat the odds and make it happen including co-buying, relocating and mortgaging their retirement. Those without help from relatives are considering some creative alternative paths to purchasing a house. Some 57% of Gen Z and 54% of millennial say they would buy with friends or family. “If I didn’t have my family, I think I would’ve just been clueless,” St. Peters, 28, said. “I could have easily had the mentality as the other Gen Z people like, ‘Well, I don’t have that money. It seems really intimidating. I have no business buying a house. ” Young people are also willing to sacrifice on location and buy houses that aren’t move-in ready to achieve home-ownership. More than 6 in 10 are open to buying fixer-uppers and more than half are willing to move to another state or even country to afford a home. Another recent study by another property management company ranked Minnesota as the most desired state for young people buying property, with 50.8% of people under 35 owning a home there. 12. Why is it so hard for young people today to purchase a home? A. COVID-19 made housing prices balloon so quickly. B. Their families completely refuse to lend a helping hand. C. The housing market is so unaffordable for young buyers. D. The number of first-time buyers reaches an all-time high. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is an alternative path for young home-buyers? A. Co-buying with a stranger. B. Starting their own business. C. Moving to a cheaper state. D. Sticking to a move-in ready home. 14. What might the author continue talking about? A. Mortgaging retirement. B. Challenges and policies. C. The root of the problem. D. Preparations to buy a home. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Dream of owning a home is slipping away. B. Young buyers seek new paths to own a house. C. Americans are facing the toughest housing market. D. Various factors make young people fail to buy a house. 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。 SAN FRANCISCO-Taxis without drivers. ____16____ But an increase in ridership shows that many people prefer being driven by a computer rather than a person. Spend an evening out in popular nightlife areas and the long stream of Waymos, driverless taxis, dropping people off or picking them up can outnumber traditional taxis, like the Ubers and Lyfts. The women who routinely ride in Waymos prioritize safety and absence of real or potential harassment (骚扰). Many riders seek out the driverless taxi because they think the technology is getting close to the point where it will always be safer than having human drivers. ____17____ There are definite downsides, frequent users say. Generally, Waymos cost more than Ubers, or Lyfts, though it can depend on time of day and whether any specials are running. ____18____ Because as many Waymos as there are, there are fewer of them than other ride-hailing (打车服务) options. A rider typically decides what to take depending on timing. If a Waymo is only a few minutes more, he’ll take that. But if it’s 15 minutes more than an Uber, then it’s not worth it. ____19____ Would things be different if they were publicly owned rather than private? Will there be riders who can afford to pay for a robotaxi and who are left with the bus? Will robotaxis cut into public transportation, much as ride-hailing services did? And what will become of the more than 1 million Uber and Lyfts drivers in the United States if they are no longer needed? Could this be the future? Letting a computerized brain drive you around town becomes a routine so quickly even riders are surprised. Researchers studying how people interact with self-driving cars say this is actually a very common reaction. ____20____ Well on their way to being safer, self-driving vehicles, with their ability to coordinate and behave efficiently, could also make for much less crowded roads. For now, acceptance is a state-by-state and sometimes city-by-city move. A. They’re often smoother than robotaxis. B. Waymos also sometimes require a longer wait. C. And when that happens, more riders will opt for Waymos. D. The concept has sparked controversy, unease, amazement and confusion. E. Waymos updated the software to address risks of collisions with roadway barriers. F. In 50 years we could wonder why people persisted in driving themselves for so long. G. A more concern is what the rise in self-driving cars might mean for transportation as a whole. 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 12, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, where the spine curves to the side.

Isn’t it a symbol of ____29____?” Gradually, it evolved into a ____30____ part of my identity rather than a source of shame and even became a powerful tool I now use to help others through their own ____31____. Since then, I have not ____32____ discussing my operation — even wearing a wedding dress that showed off the ____33____ when I married Jack Brooksbank in 2018. Now I am a mother of two, also sponsor of Horatio’s Garden, which helps to improve the ____34____ of patients having spinal surgery by giving them garden spaces to ____35____ to occasionally. 21 A. pause B. assistance C. participation D. allowance 22.

As Lily and Sunny boarded the No.17 bus, especially intended for serving the local residents living in the community, uneasy murmurs immediately rippled through the crowd. A teenager pulled up his feet while a woman frowned holding a baby tightly. “Dogs aren’t allowed!” someone shouted from the back row. “Service animals are permitted,” the driver silenced the loudest protest, “She is a new comer in our community.” The crowd saw Sunny guide Lily past a middle-aged woman’s perfume cloud to the priority seat, his nose expertly avoiding a potato chip wrapper. Lily was seated, Sunny lying at her feet, silent and still. The bus started. “The giant guy is gentle, isn’t it?” the young mother asked seriously. “Of course he is,” Lily smiled, “This is his first ride, but he is my second one.” Then Lily shared the stories about her dogs and her. Lily was born with a rare type of childhood eye cancer. She had to have her eyes removed at a young age. When Lily started her first job, she had to use a walking stick to get to work at a bank in the West End, which was too stressful. So she decided to turn to The Guide Dogs, a non-profit organization, mainly supported by donations of individuals. Wendy was Lily’s first dog. He helped Lily to embrace the world of work and life more confidently and independently. Wendy accompanied her for about five years. “Thanks to The Guide Dogs, I managed to meet with Wendy and Sunny.” Lily’s hand instinctively touched Sunny’s warm fur. “Nearly two out of three guide dogs are funded by the public donors. People can help provide the guide dogs of the future, as well as expand other services.” At that time, the bus stopped. Sunny led Lily off the bus cautiously and skillfully. The driver carried onward with the neighbors. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三期初学业质量监测试卷 英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1. 本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卷交回。 2. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号用0.5毫米黑色字迹签字笔填写在答题卷上。 3. 请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、考试证号与你本人的是否相符。 4. 作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米的签字笔写在答题卷上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面的5段对话。每段对话后都有一个小题，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.

After listening to a concert of Handel’s Water Music which was played on tuned wine glasses, he developed the armonica — named for the Italian word ‘armonia’, meaning ‘harmony’ — as a musical instrument that could copy the high-pitched, almost heavenly, ringing noise of rubbing a finger around the top of a wine glass. Invented in 1761, it comprised 37 glass bowls of various sizes and thicknesses lined up in an overlapping (交叠) horizontal stack on a rotating spindle (轴). The player turned them all at once with a foot pedal, while rubbing their fingers against the rings of the desired bowls to make them ‘sing’. The bowls did not need liquid inside since they had been made by London-based glassblower Charles James to precise specifications so that each produced a different note. Franklin adored the “incomparably sweet” tones of the armonica and would always travel with the instrument to play at his leisure. In the years after its first performance in 1762, it became a favourite of many musicians and composers across Europe, such as Mozart, who wrote an Adagio and Rondo for the instrument. Other composers who wrote for it include Beethoven and Saint-Saëns. Yet the instrument’s impact had consequences Franklin could not have anticipated, as questions were raised over whether its sounds affected people’s health. There was a widespread belief that the high-pitch humming could bring about madness. One German magazine claimed that the armonica “excessively stimulates the nerves, leads the player into a disturbing depression and hence into a dark and sad mood, which is a possible method for slow self-destruction”. No explanation or proof was ever really given to any of these claims. Franklin himself ignored the controversy and continued to play the instrument until the end of his life with none of the symptoms mentioned. But the armonica never really returned to what it had been when it was first introduced. 4. What inspired Benjamin Franklin to make the glass armonica? A. His fascination with Water Music. B. A concert featuring wine glass music. C. A suggestion from the composer Handel. D. His desire to invent a new musical instrument. 5. What is the focus of the second paragraph about the glass armonica? A. Its theoretical basis. B. The inventing process. C. The needed materials. D. Its working mechanism. 6. Why is Mozart mentioned in Para 3? A. To show popularity of the glass armonica at that time. B. To demonstrate Franklin’s influence on other composers. C. To illustrate Mozart’s preference for new musical instruments. D. To highlight the armonica’s superiority to other musical instruments. 7. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Franklin persisted in playing the instrument to justify its safety. B. Public perception influenced the popularity of the glass armonica. C. The glass armonica should have been banned because of health concerns. D. The patients in low spirits were more likely to be affected by the glass armonica. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了本杰明·富兰克林发明玻璃琴的灵感来源、构造原理、受欢迎程度及公众对其健康影响的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“After listening to a concert of Handel’s Water Music which was played on tuned wine glasses, he developed the armonica — named for the Italian word ‘armonia’, meaning ‘harmony’ — as a musical instrument that could copy the high-pitched, almost heavenly, ringing noise of rubbing a finger around the top of a wine glass.(在聆听了一场用调过音的酒杯演奏的亨德尔《水上音乐》音乐会后，他发明了玻璃琴——其名源自意大利语“armonia”，意为“和谐”——这种乐器能模仿出用手指在酒杯口摩擦时产生的高亢、近乎天籁般的嗡鸣声。)”可知，本杰明·富兰克林是受一场以酒杯音乐为特色的音乐会启发而制作出玻璃琴的。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Invented in 1761, it comprised 37 glass bowls of various sizes and thicknesses lined up in an overlapping (交叠) horizontal stack on a rotating spindle (轴). The player turned them all at once with a foot pedal, while rubbing their fingers against the rings of the desired bowls to make them ‘sing’.(它发明于1761年，由37个大小和厚度各异的玻璃碗组成，这些玻璃碗在旋转的轴上水平交叠堆放。演奏者用脚踏板同时转动它们，同时用手指摩擦所需碗的边缘，使它们‘唱歌’。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了玻璃琴的工作原理。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the years after its first performance in 1762, it became a favourite of many musicians and composers across Europe, such as Mozart, who wrote an Adagio and Rondo for the instrument.(在1762年首次演出后的几年里，它成为了欧洲许多音乐家和作曲家的最爱，比如莫扎特，他为这种乐器写了一首慢板和回旋曲。)”可知，作者提到莫扎特是为了说明玻璃琴在当时很受欢迎。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Yet the instrument’s impact had consequences Franklin could not have anticipated, as questions were raised over whether its sounds affected people’s health. There was a widespread belief that the high-pitch humming could bring about madness.(然而，这种乐器的影响带来了富兰克林无法预料的后果，因为人们开始质疑它的声音是否会影响人们的健康。人们普遍认为，高音嗡嗡声会导致人发疯。)”和最后一段中“No explanation or proof was ever really given to any of these claims. Franklin himself ignored the controversy and continued to play the instrument until the end of his life with none of the symptoms mentioned. But the armonica never really returned to what it had been when it was first introduced.(但这些说法从未得到过任何解释或证实。富兰克林本人对这些争议置之不理，直至去世都一直在演奏玻璃琴，且从未出现过上述症状。然而，玻璃琴却再也没能重现初问世时的辉煌。)”可知，公众对玻璃琴的看法影响了它的受欢迎程度。故选B。 C The first malaria drug for newborn babies and those weighing less than 11 pounds has been approved by Swiss medical authorities in a move that could bridge a treatment gap for some of those most vulnerable to the disease, developers and experts say. Coartem Baby, also known as Riamet Baby, was developed by the Swiss nonprofit organization Medicines for Malaria venture in cooperation with the Swiss drug company Novartis to treat the deadly mosquito-borne and parasite (寄生虫)-infected illness, MMV said in a statement Tuesday. Despite being both preventable and treatable, malaria remains a serious global health threat, with 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths worldwide in 2023. Children under 5 are some of the most vulnerable, accounting for about 76 percent of all malaria deaths in the WHO’s Africa region, according to 2023 figures. “The newly authorized product addresses a critical treatment gap for one of the most vulnerable patient populations — young infants suffering from malaria, and the drug can be absorbed by liquid, including breast milk, and has a sweet cherry flavor to make it easier to deliver.” Swissmedic, Switzerland’s health agency said. It said the development of a formula especially for children marked a “significant step forward in the global fight against malaria.” Coartem contains a combination of the antimalarial drugs artemether and lumefantrine, which is already approved for use in patients weighing more than 11 pounds. However, there had been no approved treatment for babies weighing less than this. Most birth weights are between 5.2 pounds and 9.7 pounds. Bhargavi Rao, the co-director of the Malaria Center, who was not involved in the research, said the new treatment is a welcome development for both very young babies and malnourished (营养不良的) children who don’t come under normal treatment guidance. “Traditionally, people had said sort of small babies didn’t get malaria because they were protected by the mothers’ immune system, but I think we’re increasingly recognizing that sufferings in very small children are not insignificant and they just present in very different ways. Even very low levels of parasites can give fairly severe malaria and death,” she told The Washington Post. 8. What is the primary purpose of developing Coartem Baby? A. To replace the existing malaria treatments. B. To offer newborns a treatment for malaria. C. To fight against the malnutrition in children. D. To reduce the costs of the antimalaria drugs. 9. Which makes Coartem Baby especially suitable for young babies? A. Its ability to melt and its sweet taste. B. Its effectiveness in treating the malaria. C. Its combination of two antimalarial drugs. D. Its potential to strengthen the immune system. 10. Which of the following statements might Bhargavi Rao agree with? A. Young infants are immune to malaria. B. Malaria isn’t as serious in infants as in adults. C. Mild malaria infections can be deadly in babies. D. Normal treatment is accessible to malnourished babies. 11. What could be the best title of the passage? A. World’s First Malaria Drug Approved B. More Attention Paid to Malaria in Babies C. Malaria — No Longer a Threat to Newborns D. A Breakthrough in Malaria Drug for Infants 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了针对新生儿及体重不足11磅婴儿的首款疟疾药物获瑞士批准，填补治疗空白。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first malaria drug for newborn babies and those weighing less than 11 pounds has been approved by Swiss medical authorities in a move that could bridge a treatment gap for some of those most vulnerable to the disease, developers and experts say.(开发者和专家表示，瑞士医疗当局已批准首款针对新生儿和体重不足11磅婴儿的疟疾药物，此举可能为一些最易感染疟疾的人群填补治疗空白。)”和第二段“Coartem Baby, also known as Riamet Baby, was developed by the Swiss nonprofit organization Medicines for Malaria venture in cooperation with the Swiss drug company Novartis to treat the deadly mosquito-borne and parasite (寄生虫)-infected illness, MMV said in a statement Tuesday.(MMV周二发布声明称，这款名为Coartem Baby，又称Riamet Baby的药物，由瑞士非营利组织疟疾药品事业会与瑞士制药公司Novartis合作研发，用于治疗由蚊虫传播、寄生虫感染引发的致命疾病疟疾。)”可知，开发Coartem Baby的主要目的是为新生儿提供疟疾治疗方法。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The newly authorized product addresses a critical treatment gap for one of the most vulnerable patient populations — young infants suffering from malaria, and the drug can be absorbed by liquid, including breast milk, and has a sweet cherry flavor to make it easier to deliver.(新批准的产品解决了一个最脆弱的病人群体——患疟疾的婴儿——的关键治疗缺口，这种药物可以被液体（包括母乳）溶解，并且有甜樱桃味，使其更容易服用。)”可知，Coartem Baby可以被液体（包括母乳）溶解，并且有甜樱桃味，使其更容易服用，这使得它特别适合婴儿。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Traditionally, people had said sort of small babies didn’t get malaria because they were protected by the mothers’ immune system, but I think we’re increasingly recognizing that sufferings in very small children are not insignificant and they just present in very different ways. Even very low levels of parasites can give fairly severe malaria and death,” she told The Washington Post.(她告诉《The Washington Post》：“传统上，人们认为小婴儿不会感染疟疾，因为他们受到母亲免疫系统的保护，但我认为我们越来越认识到，小婴儿的痛苦并非微不足道，只是表现形式不同。即使寄生虫水平很低，也可能导致相当严重的疟疾和死亡。”)”可知，Bhargavi Rao认为即使寄生虫水平很低，也可能导致婴儿患上严重的疟疾甚至死亡，即轻度疟疾感染在婴儿中可能是致命的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“The first malaria drug for newborn babies and those weighing less than 11 pounds has been approved by Swiss medical authorities in a move that could bridge a treatment gap for some of those most vulnerable to the disease, developers and experts say.(开发者和专家表示，瑞士医疗当局已批准首款针对新生儿和体重不足11磅婴儿的疟疾药物，此举可能为一些最易感染疟疾的人群填补治疗空白。)”可知，文章主要介绍了首款针对新生儿和体重不足11磅婴儿的疟疾药物Coartem Baby获得瑞士批准的情况，包括其开发背景、适用人群、药物特点以及专家评价等，因此“A Breakthrough in Malaria Drug for Infants(婴儿疟疾药物的突破)”作为标题最合适。故选D。 D Many young people feel crushed when they think about their ability to buy a home, but it doesn’t mean they’re giving up on the dream. The average age of first-time home-buyers rose to an all-time high of 38 last year. More than 6 in 10 Gen Z and millennial non-homeowners said they’re envious of peers who have bought houses. Despite their desires, 61% of non-homeowners are less confident they will ever own than they were at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and over half said they feel they’ve missed their opportunity. Thanks to high mortgage (抵押贷款) rates and home prices, Americans today need to earn about 70% more than they did six years ago to comfortably afford a medium-priced home. To buy a house the national medium list price of $431,250, realtor.com estimates a household needs to earn about $114,000 each year. While some young people feel home ownership isn’t in the cards for them, others are getting financial help from relatives to make that big purchase. And others are considering unconventional ways to beat the odds and make it happen including co-buying, relocating and mortgaging their retirement. Those without help from relatives are considering some creative alternative paths to purchasing a house. Some 57% of Gen Z and 54% of millennial say they would buy with friends or family. “If I didn’t have my family, I think I would’ve just been clueless,” St. Peters, 28, said. “I could have easily had the mentality as the other Gen Z people like, ‘Well, I don’t have that money. It seems really intimidating. I have no business buying a house. ” Young people are also willing to sacrifice on location and buy houses that aren’t move-in ready to achieve home-ownership. More than 6 in 10 are open to buying fixer-uppers and more than half are willing to move to another state or even country to afford a home. Another recent study by another property management company ranked Minnesota as the most desired state for young people buying property, with 50.8% of people under 35 owning a home there. 12. Why is it so hard for young people today to purchase a home? A. COVID-19 made housing prices balloon so quickly. B. Their families completely refuse to lend a helping hand. C. The housing market is so unaffordable for young buyers. D. The number of first-time buyers reaches an all-time high. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is an alternative path for young home-buyers? A Co-buying with a stranger. B. Starting their own business. C. Moving to a cheaper state. D. Sticking to a move-in ready home. 14. What might the author continue talking about? A. Mortgaging retirement. B. Challenges and policies. C. The root of the problem. D. Preparations to buy a home. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Dream of owning a home is slipping away. B. Young buyers seek new paths to own a house. C. Americans are facing the toughest housing market. D. Various factors make young people fail to buy a house. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高昂的房价让年轻购房者望而却步，但他们没有放弃希望，他们正在用一些创造性的途径来购买房屋，包括共同购买、搬迁和抵押退休生活。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thanks to high mortgage (抵押贷款) rates and home prices, Americans today need to earn about 70% more than they did six years ago to comfortably afford a medium-priced home. (由于高抵押贷款利率和房价，今天的美国人需要比六年前多赚70%左右，才能舒适地负担起中等价位的住房)”可知，年轻人购房困难是因为房价对他们来说是负担不起的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Young people are also willing to sacrifice on location and buy houses that aren’t move-in ready to achieve home-ownership. More than 6 in 10 are open to buying fixer-uppers and more than half are willing to move to another state or even country to afford a home.(年轻人也愿意在居住地段上做出让步，并且会购买尚不能直接入住的房子，只为实现拥有自己住房的目标。超过六成的年轻人愿意购买需翻新的房子，超半数则愿意搬到其他州甚至其他国家，以负担起一套住房)”可知，搬到一个物价更便宜的州是年轻购房者的可替代方法之一。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And others are considering unconventional ways to beat the odds and make it happen including co-buying, relocating and mortgaging their retirement.(还有一些人正在考虑非传统的方式来克服困难，实现这一目标，包括共同购买、搬迁和抵押退休金等)”并结合第五段介绍共同购买，第六、七段介绍搬迁推知，作者可能在下文介绍“抵押退休金”这种购房途径。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第四段“While some young people feel home ownership isn’t in the cards for them, others are getting financial help from relatives to make that big purchase. And others are considering unconventional ways to beat the odds and make it happen including co-buying, relocating and mortgaging their retirement.(虽然一些年轻人觉得自己不可能拥有自己的房子，但其他人正在从亲戚那里得到经济上的帮助，以进行大笔购买。还有一些人正在考虑非传统的方式来克服困难，实现这一目标，包括共同购买、搬迁和抵押退休生活)”可知，文章主要介绍了高昂的房价让年轻购房者望而却步，但他们没有放弃希望，他们正在用一些创造性的方法来替代传统的购房途径，包括共同购买、搬迁和抵押退休生活等。因此本文主要是关于年轻的购房者寻求新的买房途径。故选B。 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。 SAN FRANCISCO-Taxis without drivers. ____16____ But an increase in ridership shows that many people prefer being driven by a computer rather than a person. Spend an evening out in popular nightlife areas and the long stream of Waymos, driverless taxis, dropping people off or picking them up can outnumber traditional taxis, like the Ubers and Lyfts. The women who routinely ride in Waymos prioritize safety and absence of real or potential harassment (骚扰). Many riders seek out the driverless taxi because they think the technology is getting close to the point where it will always be safer than having human drivers. ____17____ There are definite downsides, frequent users say. Generally, Waymos cost more than Ubers, or Lyfts, though it can depend on time of day and whether any specials are running. ____18____ Because as many Waymos as there are, there are fewer of them than other ride-hailing (打车服务) options. A rider typically decides what to take depending on timing. If a Waymo is only a few minutes more, he’ll take that. But if it’s 15 minutes more than an Uber, then it’s not worth it. ____19____ Would things be different if they were publicly owned rather than private? Will there be riders who can afford to pay for a robotaxi and who are left with the bus? Will robotaxis cut into public transportation, much as ride-hailing services did? And what will become of the more than 1 million Uber and Lyfts drivers in the United States if they are no longer needed? Could this be the future? Letting a computerized brain drive you around town becomes a routine so quickly even riders are surprised. Researchers studying how people interact with self-driving cars say this is actually a very common reaction. ____20____ Well on their way to being safer, self-driving vehicles, with their ability to coordinate and behave efficiently, could also make for much less crowded roads. For now, acceptance is a state-by-state and sometimes city-by-city move. A. They’re often smoother than robotaxis. B. Waymos also sometimes require a longer wait. C. And when that happens, more riders will opt for Waymos. D. The concept has sparked controversy, unease, amazement and confusion. E. Waymos updated the software to address risks of collisions with roadway barriers. F. In 50 years we could wonder why people persisted in driving themselves for so long. G. A more concern is what the rise in self-driving cars might mean for transportation as a whole. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。旧金山的无人驾驶出租车（Waymo）虽引发争议，但乘客数量增长，许多人因安全考量偏好其服务。不过 Waymo 也存在缺点，如费用更高、等待时间更长。同时，也展望自动驾驶车辆未来可能让道路更畅通，但目前其接受度因地区而异。 【16题详解】 根据下文“But an increase in ridership shows that many people prefer being driven by a computer rather than a person.(但乘客数量的增加表明，许多人更喜欢由电脑而不是人来驾驶)”中的but可知，空处内容与下文形成转折关系，下文指出大多数喜欢自动驾驶，由此推知，空处可能陈述自动驾驶的负面信息。D项“这个概念引发了争议、不安、惊奇和困惑”符合语境，承上启下。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Many riders seek out the driverless taxi because they think the technology is getting close to the point where it will always be safer than having human drivers. (许多乘客之所以选择无人驾驶出租车，是因为他们认为这项技术正在接近一个临界点，即它永远比人类司机更安全)”说明乘客选择无人驾驶出租车的原因是认为其技术将更安全，空处应承接这一逻辑，说明“技术更安全”带来的结果。C项“而当这种情况发生时，更多乘客会选择 Waymo”符合语境， that指代“技术达到更安全水平”，“更多乘客选择Waymo”是合理结果，衔接自然。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Because as many Waymos as there are, there are fewer of them than other ride-hailing (打车服务) options.(因为无论 Waymos的车辆数量有多少，都比其他打车服务选项的车辆数量要少)”可知，Waymos的服务车辆少，由此推知，乘坐Waymos的车有时需要等较长时间。B项“Waymos有时还需要更长的等待时间”符合语境，与下文内容密切相关。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Would things be different if they were publicly owned rather than private? Will there be riders who can afford to pay for a robotaxi and who are left with the bus? Will robotaxis cut into public transportation, much as ride-hailing services did?(若这些自动驾驶出租车归公有而非私有，情况会有所不同吗？会不会出现有人付得起自动驾驶出租车费用，而有人只能选择公交的情况？自动驾驶出租车是否会像此前的打车服务那样，对公共交通造成冲击？)”可知，下文就自动驾驶出租车归公有提出了一些列问题，由此推知，空处提出一个令人担忧的问题或现象，以引出下文的问题。G项“更令人担忧的是，自动驾驶汽车的兴起对整个交通运输意味着什么。”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Researchers studying how people interact with self-driving cars say this is actually a very common reaction.(研究人们如何与自动驾驶汽车互动的研究人员表示，这实际上是一种非常常见的反应)”和下文“Well on their way to being safer, self-driving vehicles, with their ability to coordinate and behave efficiently, could also make for much less crowded roads. (在变得更安全的道路上，自动驾驶汽车凭借其协调和高效行为的能力，也可以大大减少道路拥挤)”可知，上文提到乘客对 “自动驾驶成为日常” 感到惊讶是普遍反应，后句展望自动驾驶车辆的优势。空处应承接 “普遍反应”，进一步对未来进行设想，且能与后文的优势展望衔接。推测，空处内容与未来的设想有关。F项“50年后，我们可能会想知道为什么人们坚持自己开车这么长时间。”符合语境，承接上文。故选F。 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 12, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, where the spine curves to the side. After the 8-hour operation, I spent three days in intensive care and a week on a general ward, followed by six days wheelchair-bound, requiring full ____21____ for all activities of daily living. Even now, the period of recovery keeps ____22____ across my mind. The paralysis caused by my spinal injury seemed psychologically ____23____, and it’s so ____24____ to come to terms with it. I couldn’t get out of bed or do anything for myself. I was filled with a sense of ____25____ about the entire experience — an emotion even I don’t know why or where it came from. It was my mother who ___26___ how I perceived both the surgery and its lasting mark. She was ____27____. She’d ask me if she could present it to people, then she’d turn me around and say, “My daughter is a(n) ____28____ — you’ve got to check out her scar. Isn’t it a symbol of ____29____?” Gradually, it evolved into a ____30____ part of my identity rather than a source of shame and even became a powerful tool I now use to help others through their own ____31____. Since then, I have not ____32____ discussing my operation — even wearing a wedding dress that showed off the ____33____ when I married Jack Brooksbank in 2018. Now I am a mother of two, also sponsor of Horatio’s Garden, which helps to improve the ____34____ of patients having spinal surgery by giving them garden spaces to ____35____ to occasionally. 21.

As Lily and Sunny boarded the No.17 bus, especially intended for serving the local residents living in the community, uneasy murmurs immediately rippled through the crowd. A teenager pulled up his feet while a woman frowned holding a baby tightly. “Dogs aren’t allowed!” someone shouted from the back row. “Service animals are permitted,” the driver silenced the loudest protest, “She is a new comer in our community.” The crowd saw Sunny guide Lily past a middle-aged woman’s perfume cloud to the priority seat, his nose expertly avoiding a potato chip wrapper. Lily was seated, Sunny lying at her feet, silent and still. The bus started. “The giant guy is gentle, isn’t it?” the young mother asked seriously. “Of course he is,” Lily smiled, “This is his first ride, but he is my second one.” Then Lily shared the stories about her dogs and her. Lily was born with a rare type of childhood eye cancer. She had to have her eyes removed at a young age. When Lily started her first job, she had to use a walking stick to get to work at a bank in the West End, which was too stressful. So she decided to turn to The Guide Dogs, a non-profit organization, mainly supported by donations of individuals. Wendy was Lily’s first dog. He helped Lily to embrace the world of work and life more confidently and independently. Wendy accompanied her for about five years. “Thanks to The Guide Dogs, I managed to meet with Wendy and Sunny.” Lily’s hand instinctively touched Sunny’s warm fur. “Nearly two out of three guide dogs are funded by the public donors. People can help provide the guide dogs of the future, as well as expand other services.” At that time, the bus stopped. Sunny led Lily off the bus cautiously and skillfully. The driver carried onward with the neighbors. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. Unlike the previous day, the crowd greeted them with warm smiles. The young mother holding a baby waved and said, “Sunny, you’re here!” A teenager even moved aside to let them take the priority seat easily. An elderly man handed Lily a small bag of snacks, saying, “For you and your good helper.” Lily thanked everyone happily, and Sunny wagged his tail gently, as if responding to the kindness. The bus ride this time was filled with friendly chats, not uneasy murmurs. One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. The letter said that many residents of her community had donated to the organization after hearing her story on the No.17 bus. Some even volunteered to help train guide dogs. The donations would help more visually impaired people get guide dogs like Sunny. Lily was deeply touched. She stroked Sunny’s head and whispered, “Look, our small bus ride has brought so much help to others.” Sunny nuzzled her hand, as if understanding her joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以Lily和导盲犬Sunny乘坐公交车展开，讲述了他们上车后人们都在小声议论，认为狗不应该上公交车。司机用“服务犬允许乘坐公交车”使人群安静下来，此后Lily和邻座分享她和Sunny的故事以及导盲犬的相关知识。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“第二天，17路公交车的门又开了，Lily和Sunny上了车。”并结合上文Lily和邻座分享的内容推测，接下来可描写大家的态度与昨天完全不同，大家都很欢迎他们，他们在车上高兴地交谈。 ②根据第二段首句“一个月后，Lily收到了导盲犬协会的一封感谢信。”推测接下来可描写感谢信的内容（社区居民得知导盲犬的事情后，纷纷向导盲犬协会捐款，并提供帮助）以及Lily的感悟。 2.续写线索：第二天坐车——人们热情地欢迎他们——Lily和大家快乐的聊天——受到导盲犬协会的感谢信——信的主要内容——Lily的感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①递给：hand/pass ②说：say/put ③抚摸：stroke/pet 情绪类 ①令人不适的：uneasy/uncomfortable ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】An elderly man handed Lily a small bag of snacks, saying, “For you and your good helper.” （运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】The letter said that many residents of her community had donated to the organization after hearing her story on the No.17 bus.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
