M：We need to use teamwork more.John is our best player，but we can’t give him the ball every time. Text 5 W：Excuse me.I’m trying to pay the parking，but all I have is dollar bills.Could you spare any change? M：I’m sorry，madam.But our store policy is not to give out change unless you buy something. W：OK. Text 6 W：Tim，I saw you running from the bus stop this morning.Your mother and father wouldn’t be happy seeing you do that. M：I was late for school though. W：You need to be more careful when you cross the street.You need to walk during the right time and in the right places. M：But I’m very fast. W：Are you even listening to me? It is dangerous.It is also against the law. M：But I hate waiting for the lights to change and the cars to pass by.I don’t want to be late. W：It is important to obey the rules，but your safety is more important.I don’t want to see any one of my students get hurt. Text 7 W：Sorry，Jim.I won’t be able to make it to the dinner tomorrow night.I’ll be busy volunteering at the library during that time. M：That’s interesting，Carol.Most people I know volunteer by collecting garbage or something.What do you do at the library when you volunteer? Are they short on employees who put away books? W：Nothing like that.I just read the children’s books and act out some of the stories for them.It’s very fun and it doesn’t take long，maybe one or two hours. M：How often do you do that? W：I do it on Monday，Wednesday and Friday every week.You should come to help me with it one time. M：That sounds like fun.Can I pick the stories I want to read?

University of Oxford，England Founded in：1096 The foundation year of this university is around 1096.There is evidence of teaching being undertaken then.It gained a lot of popularity in the early 1167，as Henry Ⅱ put a ban on English students from entering the University of Paris.It is regarded as one of the best places to get a higher education today，and it consists of 38 different colleges specializing in various fields of study. University of Salamanca，Spain Founded in：1218 This is the oldest university in Spain，and is located in the town of Salamanca，west of Madrid.It is the third oldest university in Europe that has been in continuous operation since it was founded.Today，it is the most important institution in the world for studying humanities and languages.Christopher Columbus is said to have consulted with its scholars when he was seeking a route to India.

Growing up，moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school，reuniting only during the holidays.Every year，she would eagerly await my return.Those cherished moments were gradually disappearing as I moved away for university.Soon，our relationship became tense.She seemed unable to understand me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. I assumed the immersive(沉浸式) exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother，who was an art student.However，I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale，a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution.“It’s art，Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended. Disheartened by the distance between us，I led her to the kid’s zone.We signed up for a joint sketching(素描) activity，hoping that would help us connect.As our creative juices flowed，our faded relationship began to shift to something sincere and beautiful. “Look！” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations.“That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out，touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank. Looking around，I saw children sharing moments with their parents，and my own childhood flashed back.That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her，who was like me，had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood. “Our time together was like that of friends.You were my mother，and I’m a child following you around.” My mum said to me with a smile. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一次去艺术科学博物馆的参观如何帮助作者与母亲重建了她们的温馨关系。 24．What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore?

The institute featured dozens of exhibitions on China’s latest achievements in artificial intelligence，autonomous underwater vehicles，lunar exploration and experiments onboard the Tiangong space station. The public were feverish since this was the first time in three years that the academy had been able to hold live activities on Public Science Day. Parents and children began queuing outside the front doors of the academy’s Institute of Physics early in the morning.The Institute of Automation extended opening hours several times to accommodate visitors，and tickets were sold out in hours. Children of all ages came to see the institute’s scientists conduct colorful and thought-provoking(发人深省的) physics experiments.After the show，they were able to use the instruments themselves and ask questions about their use. Cao Ying，a Beijing resident attending the event with her 3-year-old son，said that she had previously only known about these scientific achievements through the news.She added that it had been eye-opening to experience them first-hand and to talk to the scientists behind them.“Science education should start at an early age，” she said.“Seeing these scientific achievements in person makes me appreciate the hard work and ingenuity(独创性) of our scientists even more.” Chinese scientists and engineers have accomplished many great things，and the achievements should not be locked away in an ivory tower. By communicating their findings to the public，scientists also learn more about the actual needs of the people，which helps open up new areas of research and use.One example is using humanoid robots to care for the elderly. 语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了自然科学学术机构向科学爱好者敞开大门，分享最新的科技成果，目的是普及科学，让公众与著名科学家和关键研究设施互动。 28．How did the institute involve the public in scientific events?

The researchers analyzed historical population variations among 157 mammal species from around the world.These fluctuations(波动) were compared with weather and climate date from the same time period.The results are providing new insight into how animals respond to extreme weather.In particular，the experts have identified which animal populations will be the hardest hit by climate change. “We can see a clear pattern: Animals that live a long time and have few offspring are less vulnerable(脆弱的) when extreme weather hits than animals that live for a short time and have many offspring，” said study Professor Owen. Large animals that live longer can cope better with an extreme event such as a persistent drought because these animals have the option to wait until conditions improve to reproduce.The same weather event would affect small mammals differently，as food sources like insects，flowers，and fruits would disappear quickly. On the other hand，populations of small mammals may also take advantage when weather conditions improve by producing many offspring. “These small mammals react quickly to extreme weather，and it goes both ways.Their weakness to extreme weather should therefore not be equated(等同) with a risk of extinction.Our analysis helps predict how different animal species might respond to future climate change based on their general characteristics.” said study co-author Jackson.He emphasized that the ability of animals to endure climate change is not the only factor for their extinction.“Habitat destruction，pollution，poaching and invasive species are factors that threaten many animal species—in many cases even more than climate change，” he added. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南丹麦大学的一项新研究发现，小型哺乳动物将很难在与气候变化相关的压力源中生存。 32．What contributes to certain small mammals’ survival in extreme weather? A．Their natural lifespan. B．Their high reproductive ability. C．Their unique body temperature. D．Their small appetite for food. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，在极端气候下，小型哺乳动物也可能利用天气条件改善的机会繁殖许多后代从而幸存下来。由此可推断，能让小型哺乳动物在极端气候下幸存下来的原因是其强大的繁殖能力。故选B。 33．What affects animals’ survival possibility in extreme weather according to paragraph 4? A．Food sources. B．High temperatures. C．Birth rates. D．Ages. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，食物来源会影响动物在极端天气下的生存可能性。故选A。 34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Many factors influence the animals’ characteristics. B．Climate change is not a factor for the species’ extinction. C．The animals’ survival ability will improve in the future. D．Ecology protection is the key to saving species from extinction. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He emphasized that the ability of animals to endure climate change is not the only factor for their extinction...in many cases even more than climate change”可知，保护生态是拯救物种免于灭绝的关键。故选D。 35．What’s the best title of the text? A．What Influences Animals’ Birth Rate? B．What Will Animals Do in Extreme Weather? C．Which Animals Are More Affected by Extreme Weather? D．How Does the Climate Change Influence Weak Animals? 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“...the experts have identified which animal populations will be the hardest hit by climate change.”可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员经过研究分析，最终确定哪些动物种群将受到气候变化的最严重打击。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·湖北武汉高二期中) For many of us，there’s nothing better than burying our head in a good book.Whether it’s an adventure story or a biography of someone’s amazing life，it’s good to read a book to switch off from the distractions(分心) of everyday life. 36 It may seem obvious that reading is beneficial to our health.It can be educational and broaden the mind.A good novel can make us happy or make us cry as we empathize with characters. 37 This power of reading books was first recognized a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency，which published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients，dealing with topics from depression，dementia(精神错乱) to chronic pain. Professor Philip Davis，the author of a book called Reading for Life，studied people in reading groups and found that it’s reading literature—only written works thought to have artistic value—that has the best effect.“When reading something for pleasure，” he said，“the brain begins to work from different parts.It gets excited.It gets pre-emotional. 38 ” In our smartphone time，we tend to abandon a good book and play with our phones instead.But opening up a book could be a simple way to help maintain our mental health. 39 And it may allow you to see that awkward situation you’ve been anxious about for long from someone else’s view. 40 Refer to the Reading Agency’s book list，or you could read book reviews，visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend.Once you’ve found the right one，you’ll be fascinated! A．You can see the brain coming to life. B．Perhaps you could always use an e-reader. C．It can help you set new targets and find focus. D．You can lend it to friends and forget what you did. E．It is powerful to help you relax the body and mind. F．It is actually being identified as a treatment for sickness. G．If you’re not an eager reader，it’s hard to know where to begin. 36．答案　E 解析　根据上文“Whether it’s an adventure story or a biography of someone’s amazing life，it’s good to read a book to switch off from the distractions(分心) of everyday life.”可知，此处说明了阅读的一个好处是摆脱日常生活的干扰，因此空处进一步解释阅读给身心带来的好处。E项符合语境。故选E。 37．答案　F 解析　根据下文“This power of reading books was first recognized a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency，which published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients，dealing with topics from depression，dementia(精神错乱) to chronic pain.”可知，空处提到了阅读的“治疗”作用，F项的“as a treatment”和下文“dealing with topics from depression，dementia(精神错乱) to chronic pain”对应。故选F。 38．答案　A 解析　根据上文“‘When reading something for pleasure，’ he said，‘the brain begins to work from different parts.It gets excited.It gets pre-emotional.’”可知，此处表示书籍对大脑的积极影响。A项符合语境。故选A。 39．答案　C 解析　根据上文“But opening up a book could be a simple way to help maintain our mental health.”和下文“And it may allow you to see that awkward situation you’ve been anxious about for long from someone else’s view.”可知，此处前后句都是强调书籍对人生的一些积极的作用。C项符合语境。故选C。 40．答案　G 解析　根据下文“Refer to the Reading Agency’s book list，or you could read book reviews，visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend.Once you’ve found the right one，you’ll be fascinated！”可知，下文提到的是具体从哪里开始阅读的一些建议，上文应该是提出问题——不知道从哪里开始。G项符合语境。故选G。 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。 Leticia Conzalez wanted to do something special to put some extra magic into Christmas.The mother helped her twin daughters，Luna and Gianella，craft(精心制作) the perfect 41 to Santa.The girls then tied their notes to red balloons and 42 them.Leticia never thought the balloons would 43 anyone.But she was 44 ！ She got a Facebook message that 45 her.Someone had found Luna’s note and balloon，and he was looking to make her day!

Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again. Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.He jumped off to have a look.It turned out that it was actually a large turtle making its way across the road.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle. Out of the corner of his eye，he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up because snapping turtles have a powerful bite and they could even bite off someone’s finger! What could he do? Thinking fast，he started waving both hands wildly.“Stop! Stop！” he cried.The car slowed to a stop. “Are you alight，Alex？” It was his neighbor，Mrs Ramos. “I’m fine，Mrs Ramos，” said Alex.“I’m just trying to save a turtle.It’s probably going to lay egg.” “Oh，yeah.It’s spring，” said Mrs Ramos.“So，I guess a lot of turtles need to lay their eggs in the grass across the road.” Then she waved goodbye and drove off. Alex thought about what Mrs Ramos had said.“There would probably be more turtles trying to cross the road at this spot！” he realized.But he couldn’t stand there all day trying to stop cars.He looked around and a road sign caught his eye.And then his face brightened. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.

Turtles Crossing！” Work all done，they put the wooden sign into their car and went for dinner. The next morning，Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car.Upon arriving，they sprang into action.Alex pulled the sign to the side of the road and held it tightly while Dad hammered it into the ground.Sweat dripping into their eyes，they worked with passion until the sign got fixed firmly in the ground.Alex stepped back and surveyed their work.“Slow! Turtles Crossing！” he read out loud and grinned.“Ready to go canoeing？” “Yes！” Alex blurted out，rushing to the pond with pride. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $单元检测卷一。第一节。听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, I never listen to the radio anyway.
