The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me, nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended, I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone. Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl who was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice "So what are you drawing?" It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew. In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday.

Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that “this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems”. LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light. The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin(褪黑素)that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits. The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people’s sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources. David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, “Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths(带宽值)of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.” 8. What is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1? A. The rising demand for public lighting. B. The increasing use of LED lights. C. Old street lights producing lots of emissions. D. Artificial lights at night wasting much energy. 9. What does the underlined word “counteracted” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Judged. B. Maintained. C. Balanced. D. Strengthened. 10. In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights? A. Sleep patterns. B. Eyesight. C. Learning ability. D. Social behaviors. 11. Why does the author mention David Smith? A. To stress the importance of saving energy. B. To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights. C. To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs. D. To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲LED 灯背后的蓝光污染。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that ‘this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems’.(一项对国际空间站照片的新分析发现，欧洲国家在夜间用来照亮街道和建筑物的照明技术发生了变化。研究人员发现，老式的暖高压路灯正在迅速被较冷的LED灯所取代。埃克塞特大学发表在《科学进展》上的研究声称，‘这种现象正在广泛增加对生态系统有害影响的风险’。)”可知, 文章第一段描述了 LED 灯使用越来越多的现象。故选 B 项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light.(LED照明被宣传为旨在减少排放，但其使用增加了能源消耗。对此的一种解释是，功率效率的提高和经济成本的相关降低推动了对照明的需求增加，因此，任何效率的提高都被光消耗的增加所 。)”并结合选项可推测, 画线词所在句表示任何效率的提高都被增加的光消耗“抵消”了，C 项意为“抵消, 中和”。 故选 C 项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin (褪黑素) that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits.(蓝光对健康的主要影响是它能够减少褪黑激素的产生，而褪黑激素调节人类和其他生物的睡眠模式。科学研究已经警告说，增加暴露在人造蓝光下会恶化人们的睡眠习惯。)”可知，蓝光会影响人们的睡眠模式。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.(光污染会对动物产生巨大影响。我们应该从比人类更广泛的生物学角度来考虑光，并关注与我们的自然世界和谐相处的更高质量的照明。更好的质量和更低的照明水平将有助于节约能源和降低财务成本，同时也使我们的环境对人类更安全。当局可以在夜间调暗灯光，并改变LED灯泡的带宽，以产生危害较小的蓝光。)”可知, David Smith 表示光污染会极大地影响动物，作者引用 David Smith 的话语旨在为减少光污染提供建议。故选 D 项。 D There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would you choose？ While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true？ Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?” 12. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to ________. A. introduce points for discussion B. tell readers how to save money C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier 13. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags ________. A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests 14. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________". A. share B. put forward C. discuss D. give up 15. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one? C. A small bag or big one? D. Paper or plastic？ 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生产和回收购物纸袋实际要比塑料袋消耗更多的能源，并不有利于环境，但人们仍然认为塑料袋对环境的危害要大一些，作者认为无论何种材质，重复使用这些袋子才有利于环境。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder.可知，作者提出问题是为了引出下文的讨论“纸袋真的更好吗？”，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.可知，制作纸袋的用水量是制作塑料袋的20倍。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones(纸袋比塑料更环保的想法可能很快会被放弃)，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的There’s no doubt that it make more sense to reuse these bags.可知，毫无疑问，重新使用这些袋子更有意义，因此推断作者建议人们循环使用纸袋，故选B。 【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧 词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。 比如小题3，根据第三段中的"Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper"可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故"the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones"可能很快会被放弃，故选D。 第二节：(共5小题, 每小题2.5分, 共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。 As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者提出几个充分利用时间学习的建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate (偏离) from your plan.”（这意味着每天留出特定的时间来学习，然后尽可能严格地遵守这个时间表。当然，也会有事情发生的时候，你不得不偏离你的计划。）可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，而E项However, try not to go off - track too often or for too long.（但是，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道。）符合语境，其中go off - track 和上文deviate from your plan对应。故选E项。 【17题详解】 由前文“Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration”（我们的大脑只能有效地集中注意力这么长一段时间，然后才会开始失去注意力。）和后文“chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn.”（你不记得你想学的所有信息的可能性要大得多。）可知，前面讲大脑只能集中注意力一段时间，而后文讲记不住内容，所以所填空应说我们一次学习时间太长的话，我们会记不住学习内容。而C项So if you try to study for several hours once（所以如果你试着一次学习几个小时）符合语境，有承上启下作用。故选C项。 【18题详解】 由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-its all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.”（有些人喜欢完全安静地学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音有助于他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案，这都是关于找一个学习的地方。这使你能够尽可能高效地学习。）可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，而F项Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time（你在哪里学习也会影响你如何有效地利用时间）符合语境，其中Where 和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故选F项。 【19题详解】 由后文“it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.”（你可以更容易地指导你的学习课程，更好地利用你的时间。）可知，前文应讲明确你的方向，这样会更利于学习。而G项And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on（一旦你知道了你需要研究的具体主题或想法）符合语境，其中specific topics or ideas you need to work on与后文direct your study sessions accordingly对应。故选G项。 【20题详解】 由后文“If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on.”（如果你发现你很难理解这些材料，或者只是没有像你想的那样快速地取得进展，请及时寻求帮助。承认你需要帮助并不可耻。事实上，通过尽早获得所需的支持，从长远来看，它可以节省大量时间。）可知，这段主要讲要学会寻求帮助，而B项Don’t be afraid to ask for help（不要害怕寻求帮助）符合语境，对下文有概括作用，且help与下文也对应。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用(共二节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分, 共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。 A little boy told his mother that there was a teacher-parent meeting in his school.

In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now. The day of safety education for primary and middle school students falls on Monday in the last week of March each year. It helps students learn more about what they should do to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents at school? Let’s take a look. A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around. When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It’ll protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines. When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. Remember, the most important thing is to stay calm in a fire. Stampedes, earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school. If you can remember safety knowledge and survival skills, you will live a safe and happy life. 1. When is the safety education day for students in 2024? A. On Monday, March 4th. B. On Monday, March 11th. C. On Monday, March 18th. D. On Monday, March 25th. 2. What should you do when earthquakes happen? A. Try to help others run away. B. Get under a desk quickly and hold on. C. Protect your stomach with your hands. D. Stand and try to hold onto something. 3. What does the passage focus on? A. Health care. B. Cooking courses. C. English learning. D. Safety education. B Do you still remember what happened when you went to school on the first day? I still remember my interesting first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back .I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me, nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended, I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone. Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl who was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, "So what are you drawing?" It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew. In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it. 4. What do we know about the writer’s science class? A. She was 15 minutes late for it. B. She made some new friends. C. She learned some class rules. D. She sat in the front row. 5. According to the writer, the English class was _____.

In the art class, the writer _____. A. met someone she knew before B. talked about her past holiday C. got to know a lively girl D. drew some pictures about her class C A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that “this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems”. LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light. The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin(褪黑素)that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits. The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people’s sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources. David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, “Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths(带宽值)of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.” 8. What is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1? A. The rising demand for public lighting. B. The increasing use of LED lights. C. Old street lights producing lots of emissions. D. Artificial lights at night wasting much energy. 9. What does the underlined word “counteracted” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Judged. B. Maintained. C. Balanced. D. Strengthened. 10 In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights? A. Sleep patterns. B. Eyesight. C. Learning ability. D. Social behaviors. 11. Why does the author mention David Smith? A. To stress the importance of saving energy. B. To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights. C. To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs. D. To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution. D There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would you choose？ While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true？ Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do?
