(我们很高兴介绍《课堂使用新闻》：这是一份每周通讯，包含一则新闻及基于该新闻设计的活动，您可将其用作热身、过渡或收尾任务。）”以及INTRO部分中的“You might need to read it out to students or it may also serve as a reference point to you, depending on the activities that go with the particular piece of news. (根据这则特定新闻配套的活动安排，你或许需要向学生宣读它，或者它也可能成为你的参考依据。)”以及ACTIVITY 部分中的“If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. (如果你教的是低年级学生，就用更简单的问题提问，或者直接让学生说说他们对这则新闻的看法。)”可知，文中多次出现“您”、“您的学生”、“教学”等与教师相关的表述，由此可推断该文本的目标读者是教师。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stories covered in the newsletter range from breaking news to more evergreen content which you will be able to go back to according to your students’ needs. (通讯涵盖的新闻故事既有突发新闻，也有更具时效性的内容，您可根据学生的需求随时回顾使用。)”可知，该通讯包含可重复使用的阅读材料，这是其特色之一。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据ACTIVITY 部分中的“If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. (如果您教授水平较低的学生（初学者），可以使用较简单的问题，或者直接让学生说出他们对这则新闻的看法。)”可知，向初学者推荐的活动是让他们表达自己的观点。故选C项。 B In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. 【答案】4 C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了在伦敦卡姆登区一条安静的小巷里，一位50多岁的中国移民Lena Wong经营着一个特别的果蔬摊。这个摊位采用诚信付款制，多数商品定价 1 英镑，而她这么做是为了帮助那些吃不饱的年轻人。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. (但在卡姆登区的核心地带，这个摊位之所以更加引人注目，是因为它采用诚信付款制——顾客只需把硬币扔进一个旧邮箱即可，而且在这个新鲜食材通常售价高得多的街区，这里出售的大部分商品标价仅为1英镑。)”可知，这个摊位特别之处在于它采用诚信付款制度，顾客把钱扔进旧邮箱即可。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. (Lena Wong天不亮就起床，准备去她位于伦敦郊外恩菲尔德的小块菜园干活。根据季节不同，她会收获洋葱、茄子、青椒等蔬菜。此外，她每周还要在一家养老院上几个夜班，以补贴她和丈夫并不丰厚的薪水)”可知，Lena Wong黎明前就起床去菜园干活，每周还要在养老院上几个夜班，这说明她工作时间很长。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. (这一切始于某一天，当时她正在恩菲尔德卖农产品，一位年轻顾客说他挣的钱几乎不够买食物)”可知，是一个吃不饱饭的年轻人激励了Lena Wong去帮助别人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” (“我不忍心想到年轻人饿着肚子四处奔波，”Lena Wong说。于是，一个念头就此萌生。“我想让年轻人觉得他们没有被遗忘，他们是被珍惜的，”她说，“不是每个人都只为自己着想。我什么时候都能挣钱，现在，我想帮年轻人一把)”并结合全文内容可知，Lena Wong开设摊位，以低廉的价格向年轻人提供果蔬，还想用这种方式让年轻人感受到被关心，由此可判断她是心地善良的人。故选A项。 C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了TQ（科技商数）的概念，阐述了在科技无处不在的当今时代，理解和运用技术的能力（TQ）正变得与IQ和EQ一样重要，并将成为定义个人成功的关键因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (它就像一种超能力，能让人理解最新的科技事物——这些事物对我们的曾祖父母来说，无疑是难以想象的。拥有高技术商数（TQ），意味着你擅长运用那些眼下还未被所有人熟知的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. (TQ试图量化我们合理利用现有技术、并快速适应、接纳和利用未来创造的能力)”可知，TQ指的是应用新技术的能力。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (拥有高TQ意味着你非常擅长使用那些还不是人人都知道的新奇事物)”和第三段所举例子“For the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. (对临床医生来说，它可能是人工智能在辅助分析CT扫描中的作用)”可知，能够利用AI辅助分析CT扫描的医生，正是擅长运用前沿新技术的典型例子，因此他拥有高TQ。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. (随着TQ的提升，它将与IQ和EQ结合，重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式——将对技术的适应能力转变为一种可衡量的优势)”可知，作者认为TQ的提升能带来竞争优势，并将其与IQ、EQ并列，视为未来成功的关键。因此作者对TQ持积极的态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? (新时代需要新的词汇。当所有手机都具备移动功能，或是当手机被植入我们体内时，我们还会称呼它为“移动”电话吗？)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇以新时代需要新词汇引出话题，接着第二段定义了TQ的概念，第三段举例说明TQ的应用并强调其重要性，第四段将其与IQ、EQ类比，指出其将成为定义未来成功的关键方面，末段总结TQ将结合IQ、EQ重塑我们的生活。全文核心围绕“是什么使TQ成为一种新的智力商数”展开。故选C项。 D Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples. 13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement. C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction. 14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To advocate reducing traffic. B. To preserve wildlife diversity. C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals. 【答案】12 D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了道路对野生动物产生的多方面影响，包括道路致死、阻碍迁徙、造成污染以及形成生态陷阱等，同时也提到了动物在交通减少时的适应能力和某些物种的适应性变化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. (通过进化，动物发展出了许多保护自己免受捕食者伤害的方法。乌龟躲在壳里，臭鼬使用有臭味的液体。)”可知，作者在第一段通过列举乌龟和臭鼬保护自己的例子开启全文。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence” — a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. (道路还起到了屏障的作用，阻碍动物自由活动。高速公路上川流不息的车辆形成了科学家们所说的“移动围栏”——一道由车辆组成的墙，动物们会避开穿越这道墙。)”可知，道路对野生动物的有害影响之一是限制了它们的活动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” (他指出，芝加哥的都市狐狸过马路时据说会左右张望。“我们总把道路看作对动物普遍或唯一有害的力量，它们确实极具破坏性，”他说，“但野生动物也展现出惊人的适应能力和智慧，许多动物正在我们身边找到生存之道。”)”可知，从Goldfarb的话中可以推断出动物能聪明地适应危险的道路环境。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” (但这些防御手段在汽车面前毫无用处，甚至还会带来危害。环境记者Ben Goldfarb解释道：“面对汽车时，这些防御方法不仅没用，甚至可能有害。一动不动是最糟糕的选择。道路致死是野生动物面临的一个严重威胁。”)”并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕道路对野生动物的影响展开，依次阐述了公路导致的路杀现象以及公路阻碍动物迁徙、带来化学污染、形成“生态陷阱”等负面影响，同时也提到了部分物种的适应性调整。整体是在分析公路对野生动物多方面的影响。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My hesitation melted away. I grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light. I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述市中心快餐店午间繁忙，作者下班后买了午餐，看到两位刚可能出完任务、面露疲惫的消防员排队。警报响起，消防员立刻行动，作者虽不舍排队换来的午餐，但想到他们应急时难以吃饭，内心纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“我的犹豫消失了。”可知，下文可描写作者追上两名消防员并把自己的食物拿给他们，消防员表示感谢，作者虽然饿着，但心情舒畅。 ②根据第二段首句“我回到柜台，却发现经理正在等我。”可知，接下来可描写经理被作者的行为感动，为作者准备好了餐食，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：犹豫消失——追上消防员——递上食物——消防员感激——作者心情舒畅——老板等着作者——递给作者准备好的食物——解释原因——作者感悟 3词类激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/get hold of ②看见：see/notice ③回答：reply/respond 情绪类 ①感激地：gratefully/with gratitude ②心情舒畅的：feel light/feel lighthearted 【点睛】【高分句型1】They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】 As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 临沂一中南校区2023级第一次阶段性质量检测 英语试题 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.

Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? D Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
