But are American and British English really so different? Vocabulary The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence. Past Tense Verbs You’ll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”. British English has the option (选择) of “learned” or “learnt”. The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”, “burned” and “burnt”, and “leaned” and “leant”. Americans tend to use the -ed ending; Brits tend to use the -t ending. Spelling There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s. Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded. You can see Webster’s legacy (遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor (from labour). Not So Different After All British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects (方言), most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books. They even make fun of each other’s accents. 1. Which of the following is a group of American words? A. Vacation; holiday. B. Apartment; flat. C. Vacation; apartment. D. Holiday; flat. 2. What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph? A. They both have some strange words. B. They are affecting people using them. C. They connect people of the two countries. D. Their differences have little effect on communication. 3. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A guidebook. D. A novel. B A farmer, Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba, Canada, faced a big challenge earlier this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus (多余的) potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential (潜在的) waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond. Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met. Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared. 4. What does the underlined word “dysphoric” in the first paragraph mean? A. Curious. B. Amazed. C. Anxious. D. Confident. 5. How did public service organizations manage to deal with Hofer’s potatoes? A. By donating them to other countries. B By providing money to give them out. C. By selling them to other areas of the country. D. By transporting them to other organizations. 6. What does Hofer try to convey in the last paragraph? A. His decision to help others. B. His excitement and thanks. C. His regret about the potatoes. D. His lesson learnt from the experience. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Poor Farmer B. Help Those in Need in Time C. Manitoba Great Potato Rescue D. Ways to Deal with Waste Potatoes C California researchers developed a glove with built-in electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and change the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The program recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second — or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants’ eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH for instance. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its compositions. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove’s correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it wirelessly to smartphones. B. By integrating facial expressions into gestures. C. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. D. By inputting more letters and words in English. 11. What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. D One of the key necessary things needed for life is phosphorus (磷), and a large number of lightning strikes that happened when Earth was young 4 billion years ago may have unlocked the necessary amount of phosphorus to create the foundation for life, according to a new study. Phosphorus is needed in the molecules (分子) that form basic cell structures, said Benjamin Hess, study author from Yale University. However, “most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,” Hess said. “Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.” It’s long thought that meteorites (陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite (磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth. Fortunately, schreibersite has another source in fulgurite (闪电熔岩), a kind of glass that forms when lightning strikes the ground. Fulgurite has been found to contain phosphorus and it can be dissolved. Hess and his fellow researchers studied the rate of lightning on early Earth, and found that, on Earth today, we experience about 560 million lightning flashes per year, while on early Earth, that number was anywhere between 1 and 5 billion annually. Over a billion years, that could have caused one quintillion lightning strikes and much phosphorus. Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms, Hess said. Understanding the role of lightning strikes has implications in the search for life beyond Earth. “Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,” Hess said. 12. What can we know about phosphorus on early Earth? A. It was very difficult to access. B. It was impossible to produce. C. It was enough for life to form. D. It existed mainly in water. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. How life on Earth came into being. B. How often meteorites impacted the Earth. C. Why life on Earth doesn’t originate from meteorites. D. What people’s opinions on the origin of life on Earth are. 14. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The rate of lightning on early Earth is less than today. B. Carbon dioxide results in the higher global temperature. C. More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning. D. Thunderstorms have almost nothing to do with global temperature. 15. What can we know from Hess’s words in the last paragraph? A. He is showing the results of their study. B. He is explaining the significance of their findings. C. He is suggesting a way to find the origin of life on Earth. D. He is commenting on the research methods of his team. 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。 Are you a student who always feels stressed?

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 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。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★考试结束前 桐城中学2025—2026学年度上学期第一次教学质量检测 高一英语试卷 考生须知： 1. 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟； 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场、座位号及准考证号 （填涂）； 3. 所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效； 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了美式英语和英式英语之间的差异与相似之处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats.(美式英语和英式英语最明显的区别在于词汇。例如，美国人说“go on vacation”（度假），而英国人说“go on holidays”；纽约人住在“apartments”（公寓）里，而伦敦人住在“flats”（公寓）里)”可知，vacation和apartment是美式英语，holiday和flat是英式英语。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects, most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty.(英式英语和美式英语的相似之处远多于不同之处。除了一些地方方言外，大多数英国人和美国人都能毫不费力地理解对方的意思)”可知，英式英语和美式英语的相似之处远多于不同之处，英国人和美国人可以毫不费力地理解对方的意思，所以它们的差异对交流影响不大。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?(有句老话说，美国和英国是“被同一种语言分割的两个国家”。没有人确切知道这句话是谁说的，但它反映了许多英国人对美式英语的看法。但是美式英语和英式英语真的如此不同吗？)”可知，文章主要探讨了美式英语和英式英语之间的差异与相似之处，这类话题通常出现在杂志上。故选B。 B A farmer, Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba, Canada, faced a big challenge earlier this year. With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus (多余的) potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential (潜在的) waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond. Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. Kate Nelson chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met. Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared. 4. What does the underlined word “dysphoric” in the first paragraph mean? A. Curious. B. Amazed. C. Anxious. D. Confident. 5. How did public service organizations manage to deal with Hofer’s potatoes? A. By donating them to other countries. B. By providing money to give them out. C. By selling them to other areas of the country. D. By transporting them to other organizations. 6. What does Hofer try to convey in the last paragraph? A. His decision to help others. B. His excitement and thanks. C. His regret about the potatoes. D. His lesson learnt from the experience. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Poor Farmer B. Help Those in Need in Time C. Manitoba Great Potato Rescue D. Ways to Deal with Waste Potatoes 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了加拿大的农民Isaiah Hofer如何在公共服务机构的帮助下，把多余的土豆救助给有需要的人，转化为他人的生命线的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste.(由于有近10万袋多余的土豆，每袋重达100磅，霍弗不得不考虑如何处理数百万磅的食物。他dysphoric，想不出更好的办法。看来他只好让这些土豆白白浪费掉了)”可知，霍弗不得不考虑如何处理数百万磅的食物，所以很焦虑。所以dysphoric指的是Hofer对如何处理多余土豆感到焦虑不安。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. (令所有人吃惊的是，Hofer同意免费赠送这些土豆。在那之后，115辆卡车被派往多伦多、不列颠哥伦比亚省、圣地亚哥和新墨西哥州的食品银行运送他的土豆)”可知，公共服务机构是通过捐赠给其他地区处理Hofer的土豆的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back.(回顾这次经历，Hofer表达了对这些公共服务组织的感激，并为能够回馈而感到高兴)”可推知，Hofer想表达的是他的感激之情和喜悦。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A farmer, Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba, Canada, faced a big challenge earlier this year.(今年早些时候，加拿大马尼托巴省的农民以赛亚·霍弗(Isaiah Hofer)面临着一个巨大的挑战)”第三段“To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. (令所有人吃惊的是，Hofer同意免费赠送这些土豆。在那之后，115辆卡车被派往多伦多、不列颠哥伦比亚省、圣地亚哥和新墨西哥州的食品银行运送他的土豆)”以及根据第四段“Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met.(Farmlink项目的首席营销官兼联合创始人Kate Nelson参加了这次活动，并见证了整个过程。他说这是该项目迄今为止收到的最大一笔捐款之一)”可知，本文主要讲述了马尼托巴一次成功的大型土豆援助行动。故选C项。 C California researchers developed a glove with built-in electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and change the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The program recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second — or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants’ eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH for instance. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its compositions. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove’s correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it wirelessly to smartphones. B. By integrating facial expressions into gestures. C. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. D. By inputting more letters and words in English. 11. What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了加利福尼亚研究人员开发的一款内置电子传感器的手套，该手套可以通过智能手机上的应用程序将美国手语实时翻译成英语。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them.(希望这能为使用手语的人开辟一条便捷的途径，让他们无需他人协助翻译，就能与不懂手语的人直接沟通)”可知，这款新手套是为手语使用者设计的。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and change the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone.(这款手套装有由“导电纱线”制成的轻薄、可拉伸传感器，这些传感器延伸至每根手指，能将手部动作转化为信号。这些信号被传输至佩戴在手腕上、尺寸如1美元硬币大小的电路板，随后电路板将信号无线传输至智能手机)”可知，第四段主要介绍了新手套的工作原理。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants’ eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”.(研究人员还在参与者的眉毛之间以及嘴角两侧放置了传感器，以“捕捉作为美式手语（ASL）一部分的面部表情”)”和“The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same.(在手势保持不变的情况下，“多少”的程度完全可以仅凭面部表情来决定)”可知，研究人员通过将面部表情融入手势来提高手套识别的正确性。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores.(研究人员表示，为了推出可在商店销售的商用版本，这款手套还需要掌握更多词汇量，并且能够更快地翻译手语手势)”可知，研究人员未来会提高这款手套的性能。故选D。 D One of the key necessary things needed for life is phosphorus (磷), and a large number of lightning strikes that happened when Earth was young 4 billion years ago may have unlocked the necessary amount of phosphorus to create the foundation for life, according to a new study. Phosphorus is needed in the molecules (分子) that form basic cell structures, said Benjamin Hess, study author from Yale University. However, “most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,” Hess said. “Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.” It’s long thought that meteorites (陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite (磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth. Fortunately, schreibersite has another source in fulgurite (闪电熔岩), a kind of glass that forms when lightning strikes the ground. Fulgurite has been found to contain phosphorus and it can be dissolved. Hess and his fellow researchers studied the rate of lightning on early Earth, and found that, on Earth today, we experience about 560 million lightning flashes per year, while on early Earth, that number was anywhere between 1 and 5 billion annually. Over a billion years, that could have caused one quintillion lightning strikes and much phosphorus. Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms, Hess said. Understanding the role of lightning strikes has implications in the search for life beyond Earth. “Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,” Hess said. 12. What can we know about phosphorus on early Earth? A. It was very difficult to access. B. It was impossible to produce. C. It was enough for life to form. D. It existed mainly in water. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. How life on Earth came into being. B. How often meteorites impacted the Earth. C. Why life on Earth doesn’t originate from meteorites. D. What people’s opinions on the origin of life on Earth are. 14. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The rate of lightning on early Earth is less than today. B. Carbon dioxide results in the higher global temperature. C. More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning. D. Thunderstorms have almost nothing to do with global temperature. 15. What can we know from Hess’s words in the last paragraph? A. He is showing the results of their study. B. He is explaining the significance of their findings. C. He is suggesting a way to find the origin of life on Earth. D. He is commenting on the research methods of his team. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了磷元素对生命形成的重要性，以及早期地球上磷元素的来源。此外，文章还提到了另一个磷的来源——闪电熔岩，研究者指出，他们的发现对于在地球之外寻找生命具有重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“However, ‘most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren’t dissolved or inactive, meaning they couldn’t be used to make molecules needed for life,’(然而，“早期地球上的大部分磷都被包裹在无法溶解或处于惰性状态的矿物质中，这意味着这些磷无法被用于合成生命所需的分子。”)”以及“Hess said. ‘Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that’s crucial to life.’(Hess说道：“闪电产生的电击为形成一种对生命至关重要的磷元素提供了新的机制。”)”可以得知，早期的地球上的磷大多被困在无法溶解或不活跃的矿物中，因此很难获取。所以选项A“It was very difficult to access.(它很难获取)”符合题意。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“It’s long thought that meteorites(陨石) delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite(磷铁石), a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water. If enough of them crashed into Earth, that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago, and that’s when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth.( 长期以来，人们一直认为陨石为地球上的生命出现提供了必需的元素。众所周知，陨石中含有施韦伯斯石（一种可溶于水的磷矿石）。如果足够多的陨石撞击地球，那么这些施韦伯斯石就能提供适量的磷。然而，生命是在 35 亿至 45 亿年前开始出现的，而那时撞击地球的陨石数量较少。)”可知，长期以来人们认为陨石为地球带来了生命所需的元素，但研究表明在生命起源的时期，撞击地球的陨石数量减少，因此地球上的生命不太可能完全起源于陨石。所以，本段的主要内容是解释为什么地球上的生命不是起源于陨石。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“‘Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms,’(在早期的地球上，闪电现象更为常见，因为那时大气中的二氧化碳含量更高。二氧化碳会影响全球气温，而全球气温升高则会导致雷暴更加频繁且更为强烈。)”可以推断出，大气中更多的二氧化碳导致了更多的闪电。因此，选项C“More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning.(大气中更多的二氧化碳导致了更多的闪电)”符合题意。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Hess said. ‘Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning. So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning, it’d have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,’(Hess说道：“我们的研究结果很可能适用于任何拥有大气层且能产生闪电的行星。只要一颗行星有大量闪电现象发生，它就具备了生命诞生所需的磷元素来源。”)”可以推断出Hess的话是在解释他们研究的重要性，即理解闪电的作用对于在地球之外寻找生命具有重要意义。因此，选项B“He is explaining the significance of their findings.(他正在解释他们发现的意义)”符合题意。故选B。 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。 Are you a student who always feels stressed?

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 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。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The day I looked forward to came eventually. My heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and excitement as we lined up for the relay race. As the race began, the cheers from the crowd fueled my determination. I focused on the task at hand. Each step was a testament to the weeks of practice and the support of my teammates. But it was at the moment when I took over the baton that I collapsed onto the track, due to the sudden pain from my knee, gasping for air. We were supposed to win the championship, but in the end we ended up getting the second place. We lost the game, and I blamed our failure on myself. After crossing the finish line, disappointment washed over me like a cold wave. As we gathered together, I finally spoke up, my voice trembling with guilt. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t tripped, maybe we would have won.” However, Sarah placed a hand on my shoulder and said gently, “We’re a team, remember? Your effort and improvement are what truly matter.” Her words warmed my heart, and I realized that the true value of the sports day lay not in winning but in the bonds we had forged and the lessons we had learned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位原本内向的作者，在班长Sarah鼓励下参加运动会接力赛训练。训练中作者受伤却坚持下来，逐渐体会到团队合作的价值。比赛时作者膝盖的伤痛未能顺利接到接力棒，班级获得第二名。深感自责，但Sarah安慰作者强调团队精神与个人努力的价值。作者最终明白，运动会的意义在于友谊与成长，而非胜负。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我期待的那一天终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在接力赛前、赛中的心理状态以及赛跑中的意外情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们输了比赛，我把失败归咎于自己。”可知，第二段可描写赛后作者的自责与内疚，以及班长和同学们的安慰与鼓励，最终让作者领悟到运动会的真正价值。 2.续写线索： 期待比赛——赛前紧张与兴奋——赛跑中的意外——自责与内疚——Sarah与同学们的安慰——领悟运动会的真正价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激发：fuel/inspire/boost ②.集中：focus on/concentrate on ③.形成：forge/form/establish 情绪类 ①.紧张与兴奋：nervousness and excitement/tension and eagerness/anxiety and enthusiasm ②.温暖人心：warm one’s heart/touch one deeply/move one profoundly 【点睛】[高分句型1] My heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and excitement as we lined up for the relay race.（由as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Her words warmed my heart, and I realized that the true value of the sports day lay not in winning but in the bonds we had forged and the lessons we had learned.（运用了that引导宾语从句的结构以及省略引导词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
