This means knees and upper arms to be covered. Short-or long-sleeved dresses that fall below the knee and pants with a T-shirt are ideal.(梵蒂冈城有严格的着装要求：禁止穿短裤、短裙和无袖上衣。这意味着膝盖和上臂要被覆盖。膝盖以下的短袖或长袖连衣裙和带T恤的裤子是理想的)”可知，梵蒂冈城有严格的着装要求，所以需要穿合适的衣服。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Colosseum部分“Price: 20 euros for adults; 20% off available for children.(价格：成人20欧元；儿童可享受八折优惠)”可知，成人的票价为20欧元，儿童的票价打8折为16欧元，所以一对夫妻和一个孩子票价总计为20*2+16=56欧元。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Trevi Fountain部分“A must-see on many travelers’ plans, the Trevi Fountain, is situated amongst a high concentration of hotels, shopping and nightlife in the Trevi district.(特雷维喷泉是许多旅行者计划中必看的景点，位于特雷维区酒店、购物和夜生活的高度集中地带)”可知，特雷维喷泉，位于特雷维区酒店、购物和夜生活的高度集中的区域，适合体验当地的生活。故选C项。 B It’s often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight, especially when young, can touch, taste, smell, and hear better than those who can see. Donna Posont, who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing to detect thousands of bird songs. Posont is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond. It’s held on Saturday each month. During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired people through 120 acres of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. These include crows, geese, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, and red-winged blackbirds. Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species. They also learn how each bird fits into their habitat. “The world is designed for sighted people, but nature is a special place where it’s okay to be blind,” Posont told The Washington Post. “You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one). To me, that’s the beauty of it.” Posont is 67 years old. She has been blind since second grade. She was born with retinitis pigmentosa. It’s a worsening condition that affects the back wall of the eye. She graduated in environmental studies from the college. She’s also a certified interpretive guide and part-time naturalist at Michigan-Dearborn. Jerusalem Crawley first met Posont at a summer camp for the visually impaired. He’s been attending her classes for 15 years. As a child, Crawley said he had no idea there were thousands of bird species. “I used to think all birds were alike,” Crawley told Audubon Magazine. “This opened my eyes,” he said. Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions and embrace the world through a different lens. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway to understanding the relationships within ecosystems and the value of nature. 4. What does Posont’s program focus on? A. Training blind people to be nature guides. B. Providing blind people a safe outdoor space. C. Helping blind people identify birds by sound. D. Leading blind people to protect campus forest. 5. Why does Posont think nature is a special place for blind people? A. Nature helps people learn about birds’ habitat. B. Nature benefits blind people’s physical health. C. Blind people can study the behavior of wildlife. D. Blind people can experience nature with other senses. 6. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. The process of Posont’s program. B. The challenge of Posont’s program. C. The development of Posont’s program. D. The significance of Posont’s program. 7. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Birding by Ear: A Program for the Blind B. Beauty of Nature: A Journey of Discovery C. Natural Sound: A Journey to the Unknown D. Donna Posont: A Volunteer for Bird Protection 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了盲人女性 Donna Posont 如何利用声音辨别鸟类,并以此为基础创办了Birding by Ear and Beyond项目，帮助其他视障人士通过听觉体验自然世界。文章通过 Posont的经历和项目参与者的感受，展现了自然界对视障人士的独特意义，以及利用非视觉感官探索世界的可能性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired people through 120 acres of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. These include crows, geese, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, and red-winged blackbirds. (在这个项目中，波斯特带领视障人士穿过120英亩的校园森林。他们倾听许多鸟的叫声。这些鸟类包括乌鸦、鹅、山雀、啄木鸟、知更鸟和红翼黑鸟)”可知，Posont 的项目旨在帮助视障人士通过声音辨别鸟类。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中 Posont 所说“The world is designed for sighted people, but nature is a special place where it’s okay to be blind(这个世界是为视力正常的人设计的，但大自然是一个特殊的地方，在那里盲人也没关系)”以及“You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works.(你可以用你的其他感官来了解为什么鸟类和自然是重要的，以及它们是如何作为一个整体运作的)”可知，她认为自然界为视障人士提供了利用其他感官体验世界的机会。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions and embrace the world through a different lens. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway to understanding the relationships within ecosystems and the value of nature.(通过她的项目，Posont不仅帮助视障人士与自然联系，还激励他们挑战自己的观念，通过不同的视角拥抱世界。通过耳朵识别鸟类的能力成为理解生态系统内部关系和自然价值的门户)”可知，该段总结了 Posont 的项目的意义，说明它不仅帮助视障人士与自然建立联系，更重要的是鼓励他们挑战感知，从不同的角度拥抱世界。通过辨别鸟类声音，他们能够理解生态系统中的关系和自然价值，从而实现自我成长。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight, especially when young, can touch, taste, smell, and hear better than those who can see. Donna Posont, who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing to detect thousands of bird songs.(人们常说，天生失明或失明的人，尤其是在年轻时，比那些能看见的人在触觉、味觉、嗅觉和听觉方面都要好。唐娜·波森特是盲人，她帮助其他人利用他们增强的听觉来探测成千上万的鸟鸣)”及第二段“She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond.(她领导着她在学院创立的一个月度项目)”及最后一段“Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions and embrace the world through a different lens.(通过她的项目，Posont不仅帮助视障人士与自然联系，还激励他们挑战自己的观念，通过不同的视角拥抱世界)”并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了 Donna Posont 为视障人士创办的Birding by Ear and Beyond项目，该项目以声音辨别鸟类为核心，并介绍了这个项目的具体安排及其意义。故选A项。 C Where were the dull sounds of flying insects hitting against the light bulb? Even the absent singing of cicadas or crickets, whichever they were, had quieted its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? Our own existence depends on a diverse insect world. Studies show that where more insect species are present, pollination (授粉) is more reliable. As Dave Goulson, professor of biology, points out in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three- quarters of all crops grown by humans require pollination by animals, the vast majority by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. It’s not just about bees and butterflies, the beautiful insects. Other, less visually appealing pollinators such as flies, moths, and earwigs are also showing declines. Several of these species don’t just pollinate. They also eat the pest (害虫) insects that ruin crops. It turns out that ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. The culprits are climate change, habitat loss, light pollution, intensive farming, pesticide and fertilizer use. But it’s a struggle to get people to act. After all, we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellow companions. Who can forget the horror of Kafka’s Metamorphosis (《变形记》), where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect? Even insects like butterflies and bees can seem strange when you look at them closely. Maybe we’ve been ignoring them because they seem different from us. Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light. A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing, lit by street lights at night, seem to have tougher leaves. In other words, insects are probably being starved in the area. We should change our attitudes to insects. Those annoying flies hovering around your food are simply doing what they were born for. They’re recycling. Without them we might be wondering what to do about rotting (腐烂的) waste. Besides, they’re food for birds, and UK bird populations have greatly decreased in recent years. 8. What can we learn about insects in the first two paragraphs? A. Less appealing insects are on the increase. B. Beautiful insects can help kill the pests. C. Insect pollination affects the crop types. D. Insect decline threatens global food supply. 9. What does the underlined word “culprits” mean in paragraph 3? A. Solutions. B. Causes. C. Effects. D. Consequences. 10. What does the author want to say by mentioning Kafka’s Metamorphosis? A. The book of insects is interesting. B. Unattractive insects are ignored. C. Insects are everywhere in our lives. D. People have complex feelings to insects. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explore the diversity of the insects. B To compare the different features of insects. C. To warn about the insect decline and its effects. D. To review the history of human-insect relationship. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以昆虫数量减少的现象开头，引出昆虫对生态系统和人类生存的重要性，并指出昆虫数量下降是由于气候变化、栖息地丧失、光污染、集约化农业、杀虫剂和化肥使用等因素造成的，并强调了人类对昆虫的态度需要改变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Where were the dull sounds of flying insects hitting against the light bulb? Even the absent singing of cicadas or crickets, whichever they were, had quieted its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? (飞虫撞击灯泡的沉闷声音在哪里？即使没有蝉或蟋蟀的歌声，不管它们是什么，也使乐器安静下来。昆虫都到哪里去了？)”和第二段“Our own existence depends on a diverse insect world. Studies show that where more insect species are present, pollination (授粉) is more reliable. As Dave Goulson, professor of biology, points out in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three- quarters of all crops grown by humans require pollination by animals, the vast majority by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. (我们的生存依赖于一个多样化的昆虫世界。研究表明，昆虫种类越多的地方，授粉就越可靠。生物学教授Dave Goulson在他的书《寂静的地球：避免昆虫末日》中指出，人类种植的所有作物中，约有四分之三需要动物授粉，其中绝大多数是昆虫。“没有传粉媒介，我们无法养活全球人口，”他写道。)” 可知文章引出昆虫数量下降的现象，并且重点说明了昆虫对人类食物生产的重要性。并强调没有授粉者，我们无法养活全球人口。这表明昆虫数量下降威胁着全球粮食供应。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“It turns out that ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. (事实证明，世界各地的生态学家和昆虫学家多年来一直在警告昆虫数量下降。)”，所以可推测下文指出了昆虫数量下降的原因是气候变化、栖息地丧失、光污染、集约化农业、农药和化肥的使用。“culprits”指的是这些导致昆虫数量下降的因素，也就是“罪魁祸首”，即“原因”，和causes同义，故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But it’s a struggle to get people to act. After all, we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellow companions. Who can forget the horror of Kafka’s Metamorphosis (《变形记》), where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect? Even insects like butterflies and bees can seem strange when you look at them closely. Maybe we’ve been ignoring them because they seem different from us. (但要让人们行动起来是很困难。毕竟，我们人类与六条腿的同伴有着复杂的关系。谁能忘记卡夫卡的《变形记》（Metamorphosis）中的恐怖情节呢？一个旅行推销员一天早上醒来，发现自己变成了一只昆虫。即使是蝴蝶和蜜蜂这样的昆虫，当你仔细观察它们时，也会觉得很奇怪。也许我们一直忽视他们是因为他们看起来和我们不同。)”可推断作者用卡夫卡的《变形记》这本书的例子来进一步说明人类对昆虫的复杂感情。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章从昆虫数量减少的现象开始，并重点阐述了昆虫数量下降的原因以及对生态系统和人类生活的影响。作者通过一系列论证，呼吁人们重视昆虫的价值，并采取措施保护昆虫。因此，文章的目的是警告人们昆虫数量下降及其影响。故选C。 D How important are the first three episodes (集) to a show? The first three episodes of a drama are crucial for keeping viewers engaged. Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes, with 35% of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode. But now, the old rules of judging a show by its first few episodes are fading. The audience has developed from the double-speed watching at the beginning to the commentary- style (弹幕式) watching, and then to the fragmented (碎片化) watching that is appearing now. The audience’s speed of watching shows has been speeding up. When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails. The poet Coleridge said “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” This explains the value of short videos: in the crowded field of information, you can’t get any useful knowledge. Watching shows by short videos is different from watching movies or reading novels. While we are surrounded by short videos, finding real knowledge is a struggle. Short videos offer instant satisfaction but lack depth, finally destroying the artistic value of film and television. This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers. Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true. 12. What does the data from Tencent Video suggest? A. Viewers’ expectation for shows. B. Viewers’ impatience with shows. C. Viewers’ opinions on making shows. D. Viewers’ reasons for abandoning shows. 13. Why have the audience changed their habits of watching shows? A. The shows have become longer today. B. The quality of shows has decreased greatly. C. Audience may not like watching shows as before. D. Social media provides many choices of short videos. 14. What is the influence of watching shows by short videos? A. It will reduce viewers’ confusion. B. It will narrow viewers’ horizon. C. It will weaken viewers’ thinking abilities. D. It will provide viewers useful knowledge. 15. How does the author feel about the change in watching shows? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Satisfied. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了随着观看习惯的改变，电视剧的前几集对观众吸引力的重要性减弱，以及碎片化观看趋势影响影视艺术价值。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes, with 35% of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode. (腾讯视频的数据显示，近40%的观众在前三集就放弃了一部剧，35%的观众在第一集的前七分钟就放弃了这部剧。)”可知，观众对电视剧的耐心不足。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails. (当观众越来越随意地看节目时，我们不禁要问，这是因为现在的节目不好吗？还是因为听众没有耐心？对于活跃在社交媒体上的年轻人来说，他们有很多选择。当一部新剧播出时，他们不会看前三集，而是去微博、豆瓣等社交媒体平台看短视频。如果一部剧在第一周不受欢迎，它基本上就失败了。)”可知，社交媒体提供了很多短视频的选择，改变了观众的观剧习惯。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers. (这种持续不断的碎片化信息会让我们变得懒惰。)”可知，这说明通过短视频看剧会削弱观众的思维能力。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true. (现在，人们没有耐心去看一部电影、一本名著或一篇深入的文章。Neil Postman警告说，我们正变得“被逗乐到死”，事实证明这是真的。)”可知，作者对观剧习惯的改变感到担忧。故选A。 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。 Simple Yet Amazing Ways to Get Wisdom Wisdom is not just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary.

As a talented teenager she was ____ by British Blind Sport and selected for the national swimming team.”可知，Melanie是盲人。故选C项。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：梅兰妮出生时患有先天性弓形虫病，左眼失明，另一只眼视力也有限，但她从小就喜欢游泳。A. limited有限的；B. normal正常的；C. outstanding杰出的；D. perfect完美的。根据下文的“As a talented teenager she was ____ by British Blind Sport and selected for the national swimming team.”可知，既然她被英国盲人运动发现并入选国家游泳队，说明她的右眼的视力也有限。故选A项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：作为一个天才少年，她被英国盲人运动发现并入选国家游泳队。A. fascinated使着迷；B. ignored忽略；C. spotted发现；D. criticized批评。根据下文的“selected for the national swimming team”可知，英国盲人运动首先是发现她，然后才能选她入国家游泳队。故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：随后，她在1996年亚特兰大奥运会和2000年悉尼残奥会上赢得了几枚游泳奖牌。A. medals奖牌；B. coins硬币；C. prizes奖品；D. rewards奖励。根据上文的“selected for the national swimming team”和下文的“at the Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Paralympics”可知，作为国家队运动员在残奥会上获得的肯定是奖牌。故选A项。 【26题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，她曾认为横渡英吉利海峡是不可能的，因为在不知道方向的情况下，在开阔的水域长时间游泳是一个巨大的挑战，即使她能应付寒冷和距离。A. However然而；B. Therefore因此；C. Meanwhile同时；D. Otherwise否则。根据下文的“she had thought it impossible to swim across the English Channel as it was a huge challenge to swim for long in open water without knowing where she was heading”可知，Melanie曾认为游过英吉利海峡是不可能的，与上文提到的她取得的成就是转折关系。故选A项。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：然而，她曾认为横渡英吉利海峡是不可能的，因为在不知道方向的情况下，在开阔的水域长时间游泳是一个巨大的挑战，即使她能应付寒冷和距离。A. suffer from患有；B. cope with应对；应付；C. stand for代表；D. draw on接近；临近。根据下文的“the cold and the distance”可知，这是她横渡英吉利海峡时要应对的问题。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了克服这一点，她在丈夫理查德的皮划艇旁练习游泳。A. transform变换；B. abandon放弃；C. welcome欢迎；D. overcome解决；克服。空格后的this指的是上文的“without knowing where she was heading”，所以，在横渡英吉利海峡时，她必须解决这个问题。故选D项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：沟通对他们来说是一件难事。A. pleasure快乐；B. responsibility责任；C. success成功；D. struggle难事；奋斗。根据下文的“My husband couldn’t talk to me while I was swimming”可知，因为游泳的时候，丈夫不能和她说话，所以，沟通对他们来说是一件难事。故选D项。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“我的丈夫在我游泳的时候不能和我说话，也不能给我任何方向。A. command命令；B. direction指示；方向；C. energy能源；D. comfort舒适。根据上文的“My husband couldn’t talk to me while I was swimming”可知，因为丈夫不能和她说话，也就无法给她指示方向。故选B项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：幸运的是，他们找到了一个解决办法，把一个无线电系统连接到骨传导耳机，让理查德在她游泳的时候指导她。A. way方式；B. solution解决方案；C. method方法；D. plan计划。根据下文的“a wireless radio system that connected to bone conducting headphones, allowing Richard to ____ her while she swam.”可知，把一个无线电系统连接到骨传导耳机解决了丈夫给她指示方向的问题。故选B项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：幸运的是，他们找到了一个解决办法，把一个无线电系统连接到骨传导耳机，让理查德在她游泳的时候指导她。A. follow跟随；B. teach教导；C. guide引导；指导；D. accompany陪伴。根据上文的“My husband couldn’t talk to me while I was swimming and was unable to give me any ____ ”和“a wireless radio system that connected to bone conducting headphones”可知，他们把一个无线电系统连接到骨传导耳机肯定就是为了让她的丈夫通过耳机给她引导方向。故选C项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：为了做更好的准备，她甚至在花园里准备了一桶冷水，以帮助她在不能在开阔水域练习时提高对温度的耐受力。A. reaction反应；B. tolerance容忍；忍受；C. patience耐心；D. sensitivity敏感。根据上文的“a barrel full of cold water”和下文的“the temperature”可知，用冷水训练的目的肯定是为了提高她对温度的忍耐力。故选B项。 【34题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不仅是为了她自己的乐趣，接受这项挑战也是为了让失明的人更容易接触这项运动。A. appropriate适当的；B. challenging具有挑战性的；C. affordable负担的起的；便宜的；D. accessible可接近的，可进入的。根据空格前的“the sport”和空格后的“people with sight loss”可知，她挑战横渡英吉利海峡肯定是为了让失明的人更容易接触游泳这项运动。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：Melanie在Facebook上建立了一个名为“盲游伙伴”的群组，越来越多的人注册成为志愿者，并说明他们从事的是哪种水上活动。A. school学校；B. eye眼睛；C. water水；D. space空间。根据她建立的“Blind Swim Buddies”可知，志愿者从事的肯定是与水有关的活动。故选C项。 非选择题部分 第二节 语法填空（共10小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分15分） 语法填空 With a history of more than 5000 years, the Chinese nation has created a splendid Chinese civilization and made outstanding ____36____ (contribute) to mankind.

At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn’t have them, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but it was all in vain. At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch in exhaustion. I began to take key inventory (盘点). The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. The mail key was a big deal because getting a new one takes a lot of time. I had a spare car key, but it was unstable, and the key fob (钥匙) would be expensive to replace. But the iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Just thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes. For some reason I will never understand, I didn’t begin the various tasks involved in getting replacements. Instead, I continued with the day. That night, it turned colder and we had a snow flurry. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening. It was peaceful until I heard the horrific screech (尖叫) of my car alarm blasting from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted the unstable key in the door and finally opened it, and then wiggled it in the ignition (点火装置) until the alarm stopped. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbors being startled and annoyed. I went back in the house but it started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm blasted again. I repeated the process. 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。 Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took the keys in my grateful hands, amazed by such a clever neighbor. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Assuming it was a neighbor ready to fuss at me, I opened the door slowly and turned on the light with apologies ready. In the light snow stood a neighbor from several streets away, who held out her gloved hand, with my keys hanging from her pointer finger and a giant smile on her face! “Oh, my goodness! My keys!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my eyes as I stood there in utter amazement. “Sorry about all the noise, but your key fob has the alarm button, and we kept pressing it until we found your home!” she said, handing them over with a wink. I took the keys in my grateful hands, amazed by such a clever neighbor. “Thank you soooo much,” I stammered, my voice thick with emotion. “You’ve saved me a huge hassle. Please, come inside and have a cup of hot cocoa.” “No thank you,” she said softly. “I’m just glad I could help.” And with that, she turned and disappeared into the swirling snowflakes, leaving me standing there, clutching my keys and realizing how a simple act of kindness had transformed a frustrating and chilly day into a heartwarming one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者丢失钥匙后寻找无果，却意外触发汽车警报，最终邻居帮忙找回钥匙的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到屋里，我等着，但接下来听到的是前门门铃的声音。”可知，第一段可描写邻居归还钥匙的情节，作者感到惊讶并表达感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“我满怀感激地接过钥匙，对这样聪明的邻居感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写作者邀请邻居进屋喝热饮被婉拒，感叹邻居的善良让这一天变得温暖。 2续写线索：门铃响起——邻居归还钥匙——作者惊讶并感谢——邻居解释按到警报——作者邀请邻居——邻居婉拒并离开——作者感叹善良温暖这一天 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①伸出：hold out/reach out ②结结巴巴地说：stammer/stutter  ③紧握：clutch/grasp 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/surprise ②高兴的：glad/happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] In the light snow stood a neighbor from several streets away, who held out her gloved hand, with my keys hanging from her pointer finger and a giant smile on her face!(运用了介词短语In the light snow置于句首引出的全部倒装、关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句和with复合结构作状语) [高分句型2] Sorry about all the noise, but your key fob has the alarm button, and we kept pressing it until we found your home!(运用了until引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3] I’m just glad I could help.(运用了省略引导词词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 当湖高级中学高二年级第一次阶段性测试 英语学科试题卷 考生须知: 1. 本卷共10页满分150分, 考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前, 在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上, 写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后, 只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 第一部分听力（共两节,满分30分） 第一节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B It’s often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight, especially when young, can touch, taste, smell, and hear better than those who can see. Donna Posont, who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing to detect thousands of bird songs. Posont is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond. It’s held on Saturday each month. During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired people through 120 acres of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. These include crows, geese, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, and red-winged blackbirds. Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species. They also learn how each bird fits into their habitat. “The world is designed for sighted people, but nature is a special place where it’s okay to be blind,” Posont told The Washington Post. “You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one). To me, that’s the beauty of it.” Posont is 67 years old. She has been blind since second grade. She was born with retinitis pigmentosa. It’s a worsening condition that affects the back wall of the eye. She graduated in environmental studies from the college. She’s also a certified interpretive guide and part-time naturalist at Michigan-Dearborn. Jerusalem Crawley first met Posont at a summer camp for the visually impaired. He’s been attending her classes for 15 years. As a child, Crawley said he had no idea there were thousands of bird species. “I used to think all birds were alike,” Crawley told Audubon Magazine. “This opened my eyes,” he said. Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions and embrace the world through a different lens. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway to understanding the relationships within ecosystems and the value of nature. 4. What does Posont’s program focus on? A. Training blind people to be nature guides. B. Providing blind people a safe outdoor space. C. Helping blind people identify birds by sound. D. Leading blind people to protect campus forest. 5. Why does Posont think nature is a special place for blind people? A. Nature helps people learn about birds’ habitat. B Nature benefits blind people’s physical health. C. Blind people can study the behavior of wildlife. D. Blind people can experience nature with other senses. 6. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. The process of Posont’s program. B. The challenge of Posont’s program. C. The development of Posont’s program. D. The significance of Posont’s program. 7. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Birding by Ear: A Program for the Blind B. Beauty of Nature: A Journey of Discovery C. Natural Sound: A Journey to the Unknown D. Donna Posont: A Volunteer for Bird Protection C Where were the dull sounds of flying insects hitting against the light bulb? Even the absent singing of cicadas or crickets, whichever they were, had quieted its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? Our own existence depends on a diverse insect world. Studies show that where more insect species are present, pollination (授粉) is more reliable. As Dave Goulson, professor of biology, points out in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three- quarters of all crops grown by humans require pollination by animals, the vast majority by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. It’s not just about bees and butterflies, the beautiful insects. Other, less visually appealing pollinators such as flies, moths, and earwigs are also showing declines. Several of these species don’t just pollinate. They also eat the pest (害虫) insects that ruin crops. It turns out that ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. The culprits are climate change, habitat loss, light pollution, intensive farming, pesticide and fertilizer use. But it’s a struggle to get people to act. After all, we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellow companions. Who can forget the horror of Kafka’s Metamorphosis (《变形记》), where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect? Even insects like butterflies and bees can seem strange when you look at them closely. Maybe we’ve been ignoring them because they seem different from us. Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light. A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing, lit by street lights at night, seem to have tougher leaves. In other words, insects are probably being starved in the area. We should change our attitudes to insects. Those annoying flies hovering around your food are simply doing what they were born for. They’re recycling. Without them we might be wondering what to do about rotting (腐烂的) waste. Besides, they’re food for birds, and UK bird populations have greatly decreased in recent years. 8.

The first three episodes of a drama are crucial for keeping viewers engaged. Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes, with 35% of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode. But now, the old rules of judging a show by its first few episodes are fading. The audience has developed from the double-speed watching at the beginning to the commentary- style (弹幕式) watching, and then to the fragmented (碎片化) watching that is appearing now. The audience’s speed of watching shows has been speeding up. When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails. The poet Coleridge said “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” This explains the value of short videos: in the crowded field of information, you can’t get any useful knowledge. Watching shows by short videos is different from watching movies or reading novels. While we are surrounded by short videos, finding real knowledge is a struggle. Short videos offer instant satisfaction but lack depth, finally destroying the artistic value of film and television. This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers. Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true. 12. What does the data from Tencent Video suggest? A. Viewers’ expectation for shows. B. Viewers’ impatience with shows. C. Viewers’ opinions on making shows. D Viewers’ reasons for abandoning shows. 13. Why have the audience changed their habits of watching shows? A. The shows have become longer today. B. The quality of shows has decreased greatly. C. Audience may not like watching shows as before. D. Social media provides many choices of short videos. 14. What is the influence of watching shows by short videos? A. It will reduce viewers’ confusion. B. It will narrow viewers’ horizon. C. It will weaken viewers’ thinking abilities. D. It will provide viewers useful knowledge. 15. How does the author feel about the change in watching shows? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Satisfied. 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。 Simple Yet Amazing Ways to Get Wisdom Wisdom is not just a good quality to have but it is also very necessary.

At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn’t have them, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but it was all in vain. At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch in exhaustion. I began to take key inventory (盘点). The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. The mail key was a big deal because getting a new one takes a lot of time. I had a spare car key, but it was unstable, and the key fob (钥匙) would be expensive to replace. But the iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Just thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes. For some reason I will never understand, I didn’t begin the various tasks involved in getting replacements. Instead, I continued with the day. That night, it turned colder and we had a snow flurry. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening. It was peaceful until I heard the horrific screech (尖叫) of my car alarm blasting from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted the unstable key in the door and finally opened it, and then wiggled it in the ignition (点火装置) until the alarm stopped. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbors being startled and annoyed. I went back in the house but it started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm blasted again. I repeated the process. 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。 Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took the keys in my grateful hands, amazed by such a clever neighbor. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
