AWIARE offers one-week camp focused on archaeology for kids entering Grade 1 and 5. Students will learn about the basic archaeology through hands-on, interactive classroom projects, outdoor activities, and a visit to an archaeological site in the Tampa Bay area. Day 1-2 Followed by engaging icebreaker activities and team-building exercises, participants will attend the speeches delivered by the world-known archaeologists. Dr. Robert Austin and Dr. John Arthur will respectively give speeches about the site and local history of the Tampa Bay area. The days will conclude with basic training on excavation techniques and tools, setting the groundwork for hands-on involvement in the archaeological exploration ahead. Day 3-4 Participants will explore local historic sites long-covered by plants and learn how archaeologists survey sites using direct measurements, digital cameras, careful notes, and hand-held GPS units. This trip will also provide an opportunity to learn more about the environment in which these sites were created. Day 5-7 Participants will be involved in assisting AWIARE researchers in excavation, recording data, screening sediment, and collecting artifacts, bone, and samples. What’s more, You will also help sorting and processing artifacts from the excavation and other sites in the Tampa Bay area. Date: August 10-16, 2024 Time: 9: 00 am-5: 00 pm Expedition cost: $300 per participant, which includes daily lunch at the AWIARE Research Station. Return campers receive a 20% discount. Registration is now open for the Hands-On Archaeology Camps. 1. Who can be the target audience for the camp? A. Students in primary school. B. Kids interested in UK history. C. Tourists interested in Weedon Island. D. Undergraduates majoring in archaeology. 2. What will participants probably do on August 13, 2024? A. Help improve the site’s environment. B. Help reconstruct ancient objects. C. Assist professional excavations. D. Explore vegetation-covered local historic sites. 3. How much is the cost for two kids coming back this year? A. $240 B. $480. C. $600. D. $720. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个考古夏令营活动情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“AWIARE offers one-week camp focused on archaeology for kids entering Grade 1 and 5.(AWIARE为一年级和五年级的孩子提供为期一周的考古夏令营)”可知，小学生可以成为夏令营的目标受众。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Day 3-4 Participants will explore local historic sites long-covered by plants and learn how archaeologists survey sites using direct measurements, digital cameras, careful notes, and hand-held GPS units.(第3-4天，参与者将探索长期被植物覆盖的当地历史遗迹，并学习考古学家如何使用直接测量、数码相机、仔细笔记和手持GPS装置来调查遗址)”以及“Date: August 10-16, 2024(日期：2024年8月10到16日)”可知，2024年8月13日参与者可能会探索植被覆盖的当地历史遗迹。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Expedition cost: $300 per participant, which includes daily lunch at the AWIARE Research Station. Return campers receive a 20% discount.(考察费用：每位参与者300美元，其中包括在AWIARE研究站每日午餐。返程露营者可享受八折优惠)”可知，两个孩子今年回来要花（300+300）×80%=480美元。故选B。 B Being incredibly talented doesn’t mean you’re untouched by anxiety, and many of the world’s best have to handle anxiety precisely because they expect so much from themselves. Take the world’s best soccer player named Mellionix. For all his brilliance, though, he’s famously anxious. For years, he habitually vomited (呕吐) on the field before big games. But Mellionix hasn’t allowed his anxiety to overshadow his brilliance because he’s mastered a coping mechanism that also doubles as the secret behind his tactical (战术的) brilliance. A soccer game lasts 90 minutes, with players active from the start. Mellionix is known for not engaging in the game initially, often walking near the field’s center and not interacting with teammates. While others run, Mellionix mostly walks, seldom accelerating beyond a slow jog. Mellionix does two things during these first few minutes. First, he calms himself. Easing into the match is Mellionix’s way of ensuring he’s fully engaged for the remainder of the match. His on-field vomiting has resolved itself, in part perhaps because he’s found a more effective way to calm his nerves. Second, he spends this time scoping out the opposition. His legs move slowly, but his eyes jump from player to player, assessing his opponents’ strengths, weaknesses and tactics. In football matches, Mellionix relies more on the preparation phase. In the classic match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Mellionix only ran for four minutes, while for over eighty minutes he was walking. However, when he engaged in the game, he was active, creating nine opportunities, scoring a goal, and assisting his teammate to score another goal. That pattern isn’t unusual for Mellionix, and it’s often in big games that he lays great stress on his in-game preparation. That preparation also explains his ability to find himself in the right place at the right time, over and over. Though his positional play appears supernatural, it’s actually that he’s learned, minute by minute, that a particular defender leaves a particular square of pitch (球场) uncovered or that two midfielders leave a small corner of the pitch open when they run to the middle of the field. The lesson for us is clear: When you’re anxious, whether in athletics or in life more broadly, pause, and prepare. 4. What does Mellionix usually do at the beginning of a game? A. He doesn’t playin the game. B. He takes a walk around the field. C. He encourages his teammates. D. He takes an active part in the game. 5. Which of the following can replace “scoping out” underlined in paragraph 5? A. Following. B. Observing. C. Thinking about. D. Getting used to. 6. According to the text, when does Mellionix do his preparation for a soccer game? A. After the game begins. B. Before the game begins. C. When he feels anxious. D. When he lacks confidence. 7. What does Mellionix’s supernatural positional play indicate in paragraph 7? A. The time to pause. B. A chance to score a goal. C. The time to enter the game. D. The ability to overcome anxiety. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以世界最佳足球运动员Mellionix为例，说明了当你在运动或生活中感到焦虑时，应该暂停一下，做好准备。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mellionix is known for not engaging in the game initially, often walking near the field’s center and not interacting with teammates.(Mellionix以一开始不参与比赛而闻名，他经常在球场中心附近走动，不与队友互动。)”可知，在比赛开始时，Mellionix并不积极参与比赛，而是选择在球场中心附近走动。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“His legs move slowly, but his eyes jump from player to player, assessing his opponents’ strengths, weaknesses and tactics.(他的腿移动得很慢，但他的眼睛从一个球员跳到另一个球员，评估对手的优势、劣势和战术。)”可知，Mellionix是在观察对手，所以“scoping out”的意思是“观察”。故填B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“First, he calms himself. Easing into the match is Mellionix’s way of ensuring he’s fully engaged for the remainder of the match. His on-field vomiting has resolved itself, in part perhaps because he’s found a more effective way to calm his nerves. Second, he spends this time scoping out the opposition. His legs move slowly, but his eyes jump from player to player, assessing his opponents’ strengths, weaknesses and tactics.(首先，他让自己冷静下来。轻松进入比赛是Mellionix确保自己在剩余的比赛中完全投入的方式。他在球场上的呕吐症状已经消退，部分原因可能是他找到了一种更有效的方法来安抚自己的神经。其次，他会利用这段时间调查反对派。他的腿移动缓慢，但他的眼睛会从一个球员跳到另一个球员，评估对手的长处、弱点和战术。)”可知，Mellionix在比赛开始后的前几分钟会让自己冷静下来，通过观察对手来评估对手的长处、弱点和战术由此可推测出，Mellionix是在比赛开始后为足球比赛做准备的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Though his positional play appears supernatural, it’s actually that he’s learned, minute by minute, that a particular defender leaves a particular square of pitch uncovered or that two midfielders leave a small corner of the pitch open when they run to the middle of the field.(尽管他的位置发挥看起来超自然，但实际上，他是一分钟一分钟地学会了，某个特定的后卫会留下一个特定的球场区域没有防守，或者两个中场球员跑到球场中间时，会留下一个小角落的空当。)”可知，Mellionix能够发现对手防守的漏洞，从而为自己或队友创造进球的机会，这就是他超自然的位置发挥所表明的。故选B。 C In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting. Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, patterns, materials, and colors. But they are eventually the biggest deception (欺骗) that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels ― a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or stylish for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in creating short as well as long term troubles. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering. For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating lawns (草坪通气). Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy blocks of dirt lying around. Second, heels are quite functional for defending against potential enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion items. Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. Talk to any podiatrist (足病医生), and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails. The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a narrow sidewalk gap and being thrown to the ground ― possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck. And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her aching feet. 8. Women don’t take the disadvantages of high heels too seriously because of _______. A. their attempt to show off their status B. the rich variety of high heel styles C. their wish to improve their appearance D. the multi-functional use of high heels 9. What’s the author’s tone in presenting the positive sides of high heel shoes? A. ironic B. favorable C. sympathetic D. objective 10. The writer uses “those babies” (Paragraph 2) to refer to high heels _______. A. to show their fragile characteristic B. to show women’s affection for them C. to emphasize their small size D. to indicate their trendy appearance 11. It can be inferred from the passage that women should _______. A. refuse to buy the products of the fashion industry B. go to a podiatrist regularly for advice C. avoid following fashion too closely D. see through the very nature of fashion myths 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了高跟鞋为什么受到女性的欢迎，并分析了高跟鞋的好处和害处，总结出高跟鞋是女性最大的敌人，因为它对女性的健康有很大的伤害。 【8题详解】 细节推理题。根据第一段“Fashion myths lave led women to believe that they are more beautiful or stylish for wearing heels (错误的时尚信仰让女性相信穿上高跟鞋她们更美更有型。)”可知，她们不重视高跟鞋的缺点是由于她们想提升自己的外表。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating lawns (草坪通气). Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy blocks of dirt lying around. Second, heels are quite functional for defending against potential enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion items.(为了公平起见，必须指出高跟鞋也有积极的一面。首先，高跟鞋可以很好地给草坪通风。任何在草地上穿高跟鞋的人都知道我在说什么。在院子里简单地转一圈，就不用再找草坪护理专家了，而且还提供了完美大小的洞，给草坪提供氧气，而不会有那些乱七八糟的脏块躺在周围。其次，高跟鞋在抵御潜在敌人方面很有功能，用一双锋利而致命的时尚鞋来威胁敌人，他们很容易就会被吓跑。)”可知，作者提出了高跟鞋的两个优点：给草坪通气和作为武器保护自己。作者是在用一种嘲讽的语气在调侃。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。第二段中“A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care specialist(穿着高跟鞋在院子走一圈，就不需要找草 坪养护专家了。) ”作者用调侃的语气指出了，鞋跟非常细，会陷进草坪中，很不方便，但是女性仍然青睐高跟鞋。由于女性对高跟鞋的青睐，作者用those babies这种调侃的称呼来指代高跟鞋，因为高跟鞋穿着难受。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But they are eventually the biggest deception (欺骗) that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels ― a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). (但它们最终是当今时尚界存在的最大骗局。它们是什么?那就是高跟鞋——女人最大的敌人(不管她是否知道)。)”可知，文章从开始告诉读者错误的时尚信仰欺骗女性穿高跟鞋，尽管它很不舒适并影响健康，但女性乐此不疲。作者想建议女性摆脱这些错误的时尚信仰。故选D。 D Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking (吱吱声) noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds. Although we don’t consciously hear the noises, they can be picked up by a highly sensitive microphone placed in the ear canal. Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises, while doing the latter amplifies (放大) quiet ones. This arrangement could help us make sense of our surroundings, by automatically adjusting the sensitivity of our hearing based on what we’re looking at. In a recent experiment, Groh’s team and Professor Christopher Shera from the University of Southern California recruited 16 adults, all with good vision and hearing, to take a simple test. The volunteers started by visually tracking the movements of a green dot on a computer screen, without moving their heads. As they did so, an eye-tracking camera recorded the direction of their gaze, while microphones in their ear canals recorded their ear sounds. When the eye video and ear audio recordings were subsequently cross-referenced, it was found that eye movements in specific directions produced specific types of ear noises. The scientists were thus able to tell where a participant’s gaze was focused, simply by identifying what sort of noise “signature” their ears were making. It was also possible to do the opposite — the researchers could accurately tell what sort of sounds the volunteers’ ears were making, by tracking the direction of their gaze. It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests. “If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke. 12. Why do the ear noises occur according to Professor Jennifer Groh? A Some noises echo in the ear canal occasionally. B. The head moves too quickly along with the ears. C. A highly sensitive microphone usually causes the noises. D. The brain contracts muscles or hair cells with eye movements. 13. What potential outcome do the researchers anticipate from their findings? A. Creating a new type of hearing aid. B. Enhancing the design of microphones. C. Understanding human perception better. D. Replacing traditional vision tests with new technology. 14. What does Stephanie Lovich think of these findings? A. Complex. B. Promising. C. Faulty. D. Primitive. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The human perception is complex. B. Eye movements lead to brain responses. C. Scientists know what your eyes talk to your ears. D. The evolution of hearing is discovered by scientists. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现眼睛移动时耳朵会产生声音，并开发出通过分析这些声音来判断人的注视方向的方法，还介绍了相关实验及研究的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises, while doing the latter amplifies quiet ones.(首席科学家Jennifer Groh教授认为，这可能是因为眼球运动触发了大脑收缩中耳肌肉或毛细胞——前者有助于抑制噪音，而后者则放大安静的声音。)”可知，Jennifer Groh教授认为耳音的出现是因为大脑会随着眼睛的运动收缩肌肉或毛细胞。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests.(希望该小组的研究结果将有助于更好地理解人类感知，可能带来更准确和信息丰富的听力测试。)”可知，研究人员预计他们的发现能更好地理解人类感知。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke.(如果耳朵的每个部分都为耳膜信号贡献了单独的规则，那么它们就可以作为一种临床工具来评估耳朵的哪个解剖部位出现了故障，”该论文的主要作者之一、杜克大学心理学和神经科学研究生Stephanie Lovich说”。)”可知，Stephanie Lovich认为这些发现是有希望的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds.(早在2018年，杜克大学的科学家就发现，每次我们的眼睛移动时，耳朵都会发出吱吱声，这种声音很难或无法听到。现在，研究人员已经开发出一种通过分析这些声音来判断一个人在看哪里的方法。)”和下文内动可知，文章主要讲述了科学家发现眼睛移动时耳朵会产生声音，并开发出通过分析这些声音来判断人的注视方向的方法，还介绍了相关实验及研究的意义，所以文章的最佳标题是C项“科学家知道你的眼睛和耳朵在说什么”，故选C项。 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。 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ___16___ I was not the only one who felt this way. About 50% of the passengers of our expedition had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical the destination is. ___17___ How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The blinding white blankets everything, blurring the boundary between land and ocean. The icy water moves through your body as you take the Polar Plunge. The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. The list goes on. Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident. You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. ___18___ For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. ___19___ Things move fast here, every month offering something unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. Our voyage was the last of the season. In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice. The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive. ___20___ These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It’s absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor. A. But that is not how it is. B. It is as much cruel as beautiful. C. I, years later, did return to this fascinating place. D. The cycle continues, and you’ re left wondering who to support. E. That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe it. F. But immediately I stepped foot on the continent, I knew I needed to return. G. The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. B 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在南极洲的旅行经历。 【16题详解】 根据上文“I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.(我一直把它描述为一个一生一次的经历。)”可知，作者认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，F选项“但当我踏上这片大陆时，我知道我需要回去”能够承接上文，表示虽然作者刚开始认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，但当作者踏上南极的陆地时，想法改变了，知道还会回到那里。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs.(在高耸的冰川和冰山旁边，你感觉多么渺小)”和“The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. (庄严的沉默平息了你的不安，让你想起了过去探险家们感人的生存故事)”可知，此处在讲在南极的感官感受，E选项“你所有的感官都会受到刺激，这是我所能描述的最好的方式”引起下文对于感官的描述。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches.(例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛)”可知，棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟的例子表明，自然有美，也有残酷，B项意为“它既美丽又残忍”引起下文，下文举例说明了自然的残忍是如何体现的。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. (例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛。然后你的探险向导遗憾地告诉你，一只在三月出生的小企鹅在即将到来的冬天存活的机会非常渺茫。)”可知，自然是残酷的，其中有弱肉强食，经历着一次次生命循环，D选项“循环仍在继续，你不知道该为谁加油。”能够承接上文，描述自然生命的循环。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive. (企鹅正在完成一年一度的换羽过程。这段时间它们真的很虚弱，不能潜水。)”可知，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，G选项“探险队确保我们保持距离，没有吓到他们”能够承接上文，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，所以探险队确保保持距离，不要吓到它们。此处them与上文The penguins呼应。故选G。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 The headlines are everywhere: Americans have fewer close friends and spend more time online.

She always wore a gentle smile and greeted everyone warmly. Her class was always full of laughter and questions, challenging them to think in a unique way. In one class, she introduced an unusual game called “The Traveling Note”. With a twinkle in her eye, she handed each student a blank sheet of paper and explained the rules, “Each of you is to create something — a quote, a story, a drawing, or a joke — that would inspire others to pass it on in our school. The note that travels the farthest and lasts the longest will be the winner.” The challenge immediately ignited (点燃) a spark of creativity and competition among students. Some students wrote profound quotes, believing wisdom would travel farthest. Others penned touching stories, hoping to stir emotions and ensure their note’s journey continued. A few drew beautiful pictures, while the class clown added humor with jokes. Someone even promised good luck for those who passed the note on. Each student was confident that their work would secure victory. Soon, it was time to submit the paper. To everyone's surprise, Emily, a shy but smart girl, handed in a blank sheet of paper only with a single line at the bottom: “Please add your own thoughts, drawings, messages, etc. in your own style to the note and pass it on.” All the classmates laughed at her, claiming her idea would be the first to fail. But Miss Brown just collected the paper and said nothing, a knowing smile spreading across her face. She distributed all notes randomly. Then, the passing began quietly, with each student handling the paper they received without knowing its origin. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Days passed, and the moment finally arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily gathered her courage and walked up to the platform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Days passed, and the moment finally arrived. Miss Brown asked everyone to bring back the notes they had received. Students presented their works one by one. Some quotes and stories remained almost untouched, while a few pictures had minor scribbles. But when Emily’s note was shown, the whole class gasped. The blank paper was now filled with colorful drawings, heartfelt stories, inspiring quotes, and funny jokes from different hands. It had truly become a collective masterpiece that integrated everyone’s creativity and emotions. Miss Brown announced with a bright smile, “Emily’s note has traveled through the most hands and collected the richest content. She is the winner!” Emily gathered her courage and walked up to the platform. Her face was blushing, but her eyes sparkled with excitement and pride. “I just thought,” she stammered, “that everyone’s ideas are unique and valuable. When we combine them, they can create something far more wonderful than any single piece of work.” Her words triggered thunderous applause. From then on, Emily was no longer the shy girl ignored by others. And the “Traveling Note” game became a tradition in the school, reminding everyone of the power of cooperation and the beauty of shared creativity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布朗老师深受学生喜爱，她在课堂上推出“旅行便条”游戏，让学生创作能激励他人传递的内容。学生们各展创意，而害羞的艾米丽却只交了一张写有让他人自由添加内容后传递的空白纸。布朗老师神秘微笑，开始随机分发便条，游戏就此展开。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天过去了，那个时刻终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写便条收回展示，多数作品变化小，艾米丽的空白便条成集体杰作并夺冠。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾米丽鼓起勇气走上讲台。”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽勇敢分享创意融合的理念获掌声，从此不再害羞，“旅行便条”游戏成为学校象征合作与创意的传统。 2.续写线索：便条收回——空白便条成集体杰作——夺冠——艾米丽理念获掌声——艾米丽不再害羞——“旅行便条”游戏成为传统 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/display/showcase ②宣布：announce/declare ③忽视：ignore/overlook 情绪类 ①令人鼓舞的：inspiring/encouraging/motivating ②兴奋：excitement/thrill/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1]Miss Brown asked everyone to bring back the notes they had received.(运用了省略which或that的定语从句) [高分句型2]When we combine them, they can create something far more wonderful than any single piece of work.”(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3]And the “Traveling Note” game became a tradition in the school, reminding everyone of the power of cooperation and the beauty of shared creativity.(运用了现在分词作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023级高三第一学期阶段考试英语科试卷 2025. 9 (满分120分；考试时间120分钟) 第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A DISCOVER WEEDON ISLAND’S ANCIENT PAST If you are interested in archaeology, experience hands-on archaeology at Weedon Island Preserve, one of Florida’s exceptional archaeological sites.

Take the world’s best soccer player named Mellionix. For all his brilliance, though, he’s famously anxious. For years, he habitually vomited (呕吐) on the field before big games. But Mellionix hasn’t allowed his anxiety to overshadow his brilliance because he’s mastered a coping mechanism that also doubles as the secret behind his tactical (战术的) brilliance. A soccer game lasts 90 minutes, with players active from the start. Mellionix is known for not engaging in the game initially, often walking near the field’s center and not interacting with teammates. While others run, Mellionix mostly walks, seldom accelerating beyond a slow jog. Mellionix does two things during these first few minutes. First, he calms himself. Easing into the match is Mellionix’s way of ensuring he’s fully engaged for the remainder of the match. His on-field vomiting has resolved itself, in part perhaps because he’s found a more effective way to calm his nerves. Second, he spends this time scoping out the opposition. His legs move slowly, but his eyes jump from player to player, assessing his opponents’ strengths, weaknesses and tactics. In football matches, Mellionix relies more on the preparation phase. In the classic match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Mellionix only ran for four minutes, while for over eighty minutes he was walking. However, when he engaged in the game, he was active, creating nine opportunities, scoring a goal, and assisting his teammate to score another goal. That pattern isn’t unusual for Mellionix, and it’s often in big games that he lays great stress on his in-game preparation. That preparation also explains his ability to find himself in the right place at the right time, over and over. Though his positional play appears supernatural, it’s actually that he’s learned, minute by minute, that a particular defender leaves a particular square of pitch (球场) uncovered or that two midfielders leave a small corner of the pitch open when they run to the middle of the field. The lesson for us is clear: When you’re anxious, whether in athletics or in life more broadly, pause, and prepare. 4. What does Mellionix usually do at the beginning of a game? A. He doesn’t playin the game. B. He takes a walk around the field. C. He encourages his teammates. D. He takes an active part in the game. 5. Which of the following can replace “scoping out” underlined in paragraph 5? A. Following. B. Observing. C. Thinking about. D. Getting used to. 6. According to the text, when does Mellionix do his preparation for a soccer game? A. After the game begins. B. Before the game begins. C. When he feels anxious. D. When he lacks confidence. 7. What does Mellionix’s supernatural positional play indicate in paragraph 7? A. The time to pause. B. A chance to score a goal. C. The time to enter the game. D. The ability to overcome anxiety. C In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting. Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, patterns, materials, and colors. But they are eventually the biggest deception (欺骗) that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels ― a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or stylish for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in creating short as well as long term troubles. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering. For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating lawns (草坪通气). Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy blocks of dirt lying around. Second, heels are quite functional for defending against potential enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion items. Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. Talk to any podiatrist (足病医生), and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails. The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a narrow sidewalk gap and being thrown to the ground ― possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck. And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her aching feet. 8. Women don’t take the disadvantages of high heels too seriously because of _______. A. their attempt to show off their status B. the rich variety of high heel styles C. their wish to improve their appearance D. the multi-functional use of high heels 9. What’s the author’s tone in presenting the positive sides of high heel shoes? A. ironic B. favorable C. sympathetic D. objective 10 The writer uses “those babies” (Paragraph 2) to refer to high heels _______. A. to show their fragile characteristic B to show women’s affection for them C. to emphasize their small size D. to indicate their trendy appearance 11. It can be inferred from the passage that women should _______. A. refuse to buy the products of the fashion industry B. go to a podiatrist regularly for advice C. avoid following fashion too closely D. see through the very nature of fashion myths D Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking (吱吱声) noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds. Although we don’t consciously hear the noises, they can be picked up by a highly sensitive microphone placed in the ear canal. Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises while doing the latter amplifies (放大) quiet ones. This arrangement could help us make sense of our surroundings, by automatically adjusting the sensitivity of our hearing based on what we’re looking at. In a recent experiment, Groh’s team and Professor Christopher Shera from the University of Southern California recruited 16 adults, all with good vision and hearing, to take a simple test. The volunteers started by visually tracking the movements of a green dot on a computer screen, without moving their heads. As they did so, an eye-tracking camera recorded the direction of their gaze, while microphones in their ear canals recorded their ear sounds. When the eye video and ear audio recordings were subsequently cross-referenced, it was found that eye movements in specific directions produced specific types of ear noises. The scientists were thus able to tell where a participant’s gaze was focused, simply by identifying what sort of noise “signature” their ears were making. It was also possible to do the opposite — the researchers could accurately tell what sort of sounds the volunteers’ ears were making, by tracking the direction of their gaze. It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests. “If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke. 12. Why do the ear noises occur according to Professor Jennifer Groh? A. Some noises echo in the ear canal occasionally. B. The head moves too quickly along with the ears. C A highly sensitive microphone usually causes the noises. D. The brain contracts muscles or hair cells with eye movements. 13. What potential outcome do the researchers anticipate from their findings? A. Creating a new type of hearing aid. B. Enhancing the design of microphones. C. Understanding human perception better. D. Replacing traditional vision tests with new technology. 14. What does Stephanie Lovich think of these findings? A. Complex. B. Promising. C. Faulty. D. Primitive. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The human perception is complex. B. Eye movements lead to brain responses. C. Scientists know what your eyes talk to your ears. D. The evolution of hearing is discovered by scientists. 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。 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible.

She always wore a gentle smile and greeted everyone warmly. Her class was always full of laughter and questions, challenging them to think in a unique way. In one class, she introduced an unusual game called “The Traveling Note”. With a twinkle in her eye, she handed each student a blank sheet of paper and explained the rules, “Each of you is to create something — a quote, a story, a drawing, or a joke — that would inspire others to pass it on in our school. The note that travels the farthest and lasts the longest will be the winner.” The challenge immediately ignited (点燃) a spark of creativity and competition among students. Some students wrote profound quotes, believing wisdom would travel farthest. Others penned touching stories, hoping to stir emotions and ensure their note’s journey continued. A few drew beautiful pictures, while the class clown added humor with jokes. Someone even promised good luck for those who passed the note on. Each student was confident that their work would secure victory. Soon, it was time to submit the paper. To everyone's surprise, Emily, a shy but smart girl, handed in a blank sheet of paper only with a single line at the bottom: “Please add your own thoughts, drawings, messages, etc. in your own style to the note and pass it on.” All the classmates laughed at her, claiming her idea would be the first to fail. But Miss Brown just collected the paper and said nothing, a knowing smile spreading across her face. She distributed all notes randomly. Then, the passing began quietly, with each student handling the paper they received without knowing its origin. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Days passed, and the moment finally arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily gathered her courage and walked up to the platform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
