B In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000 — Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education. The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. “When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said ‘yes’,” recalls Hagan, whose passion outweighs the district’s limited resources. What began as a simple room with uneven floorboards and mismatched walls has become a lively math space under Hagan’s care. Every surface bursts with colorful creations: posters and paper fill every corner and a handmade sign declares her the “Teacher of Awesome (Math).” This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper. Hagan’s classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. “She makes us forget we’re learning,” says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: “This year, I actually love it.” The young educator’s “A, B, or Not Yet” grading system rules out failure as an option. Students reattempt assignments until they master the material, with Hagan routinely staying hours after school to provide support. During lunch breaks, students gather in her office for help with all subjects, not just math. Fellow teacher Melinda Parker voices what many think: “We’re so lucky to have her in Drumright.” Though the workload sometimes wears her out, her commitment never declines. In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma. 4. Why does the author mention the condition of Drumright? A. To describe the falling of an oil town. B. To highlight the value of Hagan’s choice. C. To present the challenges of math education. D. To inspire more donations of teaching resources. 5. What is the key principle behind Hagan’s revolutionary teaching method? A. Involve me and I learn. B. Teach others to teach yourself. C. Learn and grow together. D. Seek truth from inner peace. 6. How does Sarah Hagan teach polynomials? A. By using traditional textbooks. B. Through math speed-dating activities. C. By inventing the grading system. D. Through office dialogues after class. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The Teacher Believing Math equals Love B. Teacher of Awesome: A Director of Vision C Talented Students Inspired D. DIY Math: The Rules rewriten C Traffic jams in Japan not only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) but also cause economic losses annually. A group of Japanese researchers have developed a new spatiotemporal (时空的) artificial intelligence (AI) technology, known as QTNN, to predict the location and length of upcoming traffic jams. QTNN first uses deep learning to predict the average speed and traffic volume at each intersection on the basis of jams and road network data for numerous roads. Next, it predicts the traffic jam length while correcting the traffic flow model used in traffic engineering. Through this two-step prediction method, the group achieved traffic jam prediction consistent with the knowledge from traffic engineering by using cutting-edge deep learning. A test was performed using the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to predict — one hour in advance — the length of traffic jams on 1,098 roads in Tokyo over two months. The company achieved a highly accurate prediction with an average error of less than 40m by accurately predicting instances of severe traffic jams as well as no traffic jams. The results indicate a 12.6% reduction in prediction error as compared to currently considered state-of-the-art deep learning methods. Plus, QTNN was able to find that the number of incoming vehicles increases dramatically around 6:00 a. m., and the length of the jam soars significantly. Traffic volumes and average speeds decrease as jam peaks. However, owing to a certain amount of traffic on the nearby roads that started diverting (分流), this jam would continue until 10:00 a.m. QTNN is being considered by the Metropolitan Police Department in its project to upgrade traffic control systems using AI and big data. They plan to conduct evaluation tests on some roads to prove the reliability of the technology in preparation for full operation in a real-world environment. Furthermore, the project aims to realize a spatiotemporal AI technology that will serve as a foundation for urban operation, flexibly employing information on signal control, road construction, and accident occurrence to predict traffic jam length. 8. What is the core idea behind QTNN? A. Combining AI and traffic engineering. B. Adding indicators to the traffic model. C. Relying on a data-driven prediction. D. Setting up a road network database. 9. What do we know about the prediction test? A. It won government funding. B. It targeted the busiest roads. C. It mirrored real traffic environment. D. It advocated observing traffic rules. 10. What does the underlined word “soars” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Declines. B. Varies. C. Interrupts. D. Grows. 11. What is the ultimate goal of the project that plans to use QTTN? A. To make roads available. B. To keep cities habitable. C To help direct visitors. D. To reduce car crashes. D Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 12. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 13. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 14. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. 第二节（共12．5小题；每小题1．5分，满分22．5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。 Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information. ____16____ And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems. All these are making the world smaller and faster. The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country develop, or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. It is starting a real global village, where people only dreamed of a generation ago. ____17____ Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority. The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies. ____18____ The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world. ____19____ It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve business, medicine, science and agriculture, and create new opportunities and employment. At the same time, cultures, languages and traditions will become stronger. World internet use has been growing massively—by about a billion users every five years—and now nearly half of the world is connected to the Internet. But does information come with freedom? ____20____ Information is power, so who will people share it? Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs? And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language? A. The digital divide will soon disappear completely. B. It focuses on sharing technology, care and education. C. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few. D. There are still many questions about the information age. E. Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day. F. What about the impact of information on different aspects of life? G. But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? 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） 读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It pained me to take down the old sugar maple.

This was proven by four-year-old Kyndal Bradley during a crisis at daycare. After Kyndal Bradley had breakfast, her mom, Taylor Moore, sent her to the kindergarten as usual. She felt as happy as usual. On arriving at the kindergarten, she greeted her classmates and teachers as warmly as before. She placed her schoolbag in the fixed shelf and played together with her classmates cheerfully. As a matter of fact, Kyndal did enjoy her time at the kindergarten. The morning started with language lesson, during which she learned how to spell and pronounce English words. She focused her attention on the lesson and she did master what she was taught. Then it came to the second class, which is about reading and sharing stories. Teacher Ms. Henderson was reading a book when she suddenly stopped. She made a strange noise. Her body became straight and still and then fell backwards onto the floor. Her arms and legs started shaking violently, knocking over those nearby blocks. The room was in chaos. Several children screamed and cried. Others froze and held their toys tight, at a loss what to do. Some just stared silently at their teacher’s frightening movements. With no adult present, the once happy classroom was now full of confusion and fear. Kyndal, sitting near the front, jumped back, covering her mouth. Fear flashed on her face, but it quickly turned to a sudden determination. While other kids were in a panic, Kyndal didn’t freeze or cry. She soon took action. Remembering that help was in the main office down the hall, she rose to her feet. She ran around tables and toys to the heavy classroom door. Using all her strength, she pushed hard until it opened enough for her to slip out. 注意： （1）续写词数应150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her mom Moore knew nothing about her bravery until pickup time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 玉溪一中2025—2026学年上学期高三适应性测试（六） 英语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号及科目，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色碳素笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。毎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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. “When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said ‘yes’,” recalls Hagan, whose passion outweighs the district’s limited resources. What began as a simple room with uneven floorboards and mismatched walls has become a lively math space under Hagan’s care. Every surface bursts with colorful creations: posters and paper fill every corner and a handmade sign declares her the “Teacher of Awesome (Math).” This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper. Hagan’s classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. “She makes us forget we’re learning,” says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: “This year, I actually love it.” The young educator’s “A, B, or Not Yet” grading system rules out failure as an option. Students reattempt assignments until they master the material, with Hagan routinely staying hours after school to provide support. During lunch breaks, students gather in her office for help with all subjects, not just math. Fellow teacher Melinda Parker voices what many think: “We’re so lucky to have her in Drumright.” Though the workload sometimes wears her out, her commitment never declines. In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma. 4. Why does the author mention the condition of Drumright? A. To describe the falling of an oil town. B. To highlight the value of Hagan’s choice. C. To present the challenges of math education. D. To inspire more donations of teaching resources. 5. What is the key principle behind Hagan’s revolutionary teaching method? A. Involve me and I learn. B. Teach others to teach yourself. C. Learn and grow together. D. Seek truth from inner peace. 6. How does Sarah Hagan teach polynomials? A. By using traditional textbooks. B. Through math speed-dating activities. C. By inventing the grading system. D. Through office dialogues after class. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The Teacher Believing Math equals Love B. Teacher of Awesome: A Director of Vision C. Talented Students Inspired D. DIY Math: The Rules rewriten 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍Sarah Hagan选择在条件落后的Drumright 高中担任数学老师，用创新的教学方法使学生爱上数学的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000-Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education.(在俄克拉何马州宁静的石油小镇Drumright，高速公路经过空荡荡的商店，人口不到3000人，Sarah Hagan正在改写数学教育的规则)”和第二段中“The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year.(这位25岁的教师拒绝了大城市的工作机会，现在在Drumright 高中一间破旧的教室里度过，每年只能挣3万美元)”可知，Hagan放弃大城市的工作机会选择来到Drumright高中工作，文章提及这里的条件简陋更加突出了Hagan作出这个选择的价值所在，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper.(这种转变反映了她革命性的教育方法——不仅依赖于教科书，还依赖于学生自己制作的学习日志，里面有折纸、手绘图表和印在彩虹色纸上的课程)”和第四段中“Hagan’s classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. ‘She makes us forget we’re learning,’ says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: ‘This year, I actually love it.’(Hagan的课堂充满了非传统的活力：学生们结对命名多项式，而意大利面条展示几何原理，代数变成了速配。‘她让我们忘记了我们正在学习，’Jake Williams说。就连Taylor Russell这样讨厌数学的人也发现自己投入其中：‘今年，我真的很喜欢数学。’)”可知， Hagan革命性的教育方法的关键原则是让学生参与其中，然后从中学习，A项“让我参与，我方能学会”符合题意，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles(学生们结对命名多项式，而意大利面条展示几何原理，代数变成了速配)”可知，Sarah Hagan用速配活动来教授多项式，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000-Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education.(在俄克拉何马州宁静的石油小镇Drumright，高速公路经过空荡荡的商店，人口不到3000人，Sarah Hagan正在改写数学教育的规则)”和最后一段中“In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma.(在难得的空闲时间，她通过她的博客分享她的创新方法，恰当地命名为“数学等于爱”——这种哲学继续改变着俄克拉荷马州这个不太可能的农村角落的生活)”可知，文章主要介绍Sarah Hagan选择在条件落后的Drumright 高中担任数学老师，用创新的教学方法使学生爱上数学的故事，A项“相信数学等于爱的老师”最适合作为标题，故选A。 C Traffic jams in Japan not only contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) but also cause economic losses annually. A group of Japanese researchers have developed a new spatiotemporal (时空的) artificial intelligence (AI) technology, known as QTNN, to predict the location and length of upcoming traffic jams. QTNN first uses deep learning to predict the average speed and traffic volume at each intersection on the basis of jams and road network data for numerous roads. Next, it predicts the traffic jam length while correcting the traffic flow model used in traffic engineering. Through this two-step prediction method, the group achieved traffic jam prediction consistent with the knowledge from traffic engineering by using cutting-edge deep learning. A test was performed using the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to predict — one hour in advance — the length of traffic jams on 1,098 roads in Tokyo over two months. The company achieved a highly accurate prediction with an average error of less than 40m by accurately predicting instances of severe traffic jams as well as no traffic jams. The results indicate a 12.6% reduction in prediction error as compared to currently considered state-of-the-art deep learning methods. Plus, QTNN was able to find that the number of incoming vehicles increases dramatically around 6:00 a. m., and the length of the jam soars significantly. Traffic volumes and average speeds decrease as jam peaks. However, owing to a certain amount of traffic on the nearby roads that started diverting (分流), this jam would continue until 10:00 a.m. QTNN is being considered by the Metropolitan Police Department in its project to upgrade traffic control systems using AI and big data. They plan to conduct evaluation tests on some roads to prove the reliability of the technology in preparation for full operation in a real-world environment. Furthermore, the project aims to realize a spatiotemporal AI technology that will serve as a foundation for urban operation, flexibly employing information on signal control, road construction, and accident occurrence to predict traffic jam length. 8. What is the core idea behind QTNN? A. Combining AI and traffic engineering. B. Adding indicators to the traffic model. C. Relying on a data-driven prediction. D. Setting up a road network database. 9. What do we know about the prediction test? A. It won government funding. B. It targeted the busiest roads. C. It mirrored real traffic environment. D. It advocated observing traffic rules. 10. What does the underlined word “soars” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Declines. B. Varies. C. Interrupts. D. Grows. 11. What is the ultimate goal of the project that plans to use QTTN? A. To make roads available. B. To keep cities habitable. C. To help direct visitors. D. To reduce car crashes. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍日本研究者开发的QTNN时空AI技术，及其预测交通拥堵、助力交通系统升级的相关情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“QTNN first uses deep learning to predict the average speed and traffic volume... Next, it predicts the traffic jam length while correcting the traffic flow model used in traffic engineering. Through this two-step prediction method, the group achieved traffic jam prediction consistent with the knowledge from traffic engineering by using cutting-edge deep learning.(QTNN首先利用深度学习，基于多条道路的拥堵情况和路网数据，预测每个路口的平均车速和交通流量。接着，它在修正交通工程中使用的交通流模型的同时，预测拥堵长度。通过这种两步预测法，该团队利用前沿的深度学习，实现了与交通工程知识一致的拥堵预测。)”可知，QTNN的核心思路是将AI（深度学习）与交通工程（交通流模型、交通工程知识）相结合。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A test was performed using the data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to predict — one hour in advance — the length of traffic jams on 1,098 roads in Tokyo over two months. The company achieved a highly accurate prediction with an average error of less than 40m by accurately predicting instances of severe traffic jams as well as no traffic jams.(研究团队使用东京警视厅提供的数据进行了一项测试，在两个月内提前一小时预测东京1098条道路的拥堵长度。该公司通过准确预测严重拥堵和无拥堵情况，实现了高精度预测，平均误差不足40米。)”可知，测试使用真实的城市交通数据（东京警视厅提供），且覆盖多种拥堵场景（严重拥堵、无拥堵），能够反映真实交通环境。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Plus, QTNN was able to find that the number of incoming vehicles increases dramatically around 6:00 a.m., and the length of the jam soars significantly. Traffic volumes and average speeds decrease as jam peaks.(此外，QTNN发现，早上6点左右驶入车辆数量急剧增加，拥堵长度也显著soars。随着拥堵达到高峰，交通流量和平均车速会下降。)”可知，“increases dramatically”（急剧增加）与“soars significantly”为并列关系，描述“车辆增加”与“拥堵长度变化”的关联，结合“拥堵高峰”的语境，可推断“soars”意为“增长、飙升”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Furthermore, the project aims to realize a spatiotemporal AI technology that will serve as a foundation for urban operation, flexibly employing information on signal control, road construction, and accident occurrence to predict traffic jam length.(此外，该项目旨在实现一种时空AI技术，作为城市运行的基础，灵活利用信号控制、道路施工和事故发生等信息预测拥堵长度。)”可知，项目的最终目标是通过QTNN技术为“城市运行”提供支持，而“城市运行”的核心是保障城市宜居性。故选B项。 D Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 12. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 13. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 14. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国西南部莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量大幅减少的现状、原因，以及其重要的生态作用和相关保护措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难。这些陆龟长着圆顶状且有花纹的龟壳，分布于加利福尼亚州、内华达州部分地区、亚利桑那州以及墨西哥西北部。然而，几十年来，它们的栖息地因人类开发活动而不断丧失。此外，疾病和气候变化也使它们面临生存危机，对其生存构成了威胁)”以及第二段中的“Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. (据估计，自1984年以来，在陆龟生活的五个主要地区中，有四个地区约90%的陆龟已经消失)”可知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟更难被发现是因为它们的数量大幅减少了，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. (然而，前美国鱼类和野生动物管理局官员克里斯蒂娜・德雷克表示，联邦政府的支持面临挑战——美国鱼类和野生动物管理局失去了许多工作人员，其预算可能会被削减，而且这种已经在沙漠中生活了至少1500万年的陆龟预计不会获得更多的联邦资金)”可知，克里斯蒂娜・德雷克的话表明，由于人员和预算问题，联邦政府对陆龟的支持是有限的，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is ‘death from a thousand cuts’ — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. (科学家表示，陆龟数量的减少是‘千刀万剐式的死亡’，原因包括车辆碰撞、栖息地丧失、气候变化等等)”可推知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量减少是多种因素复杂结合的结果，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难)”以及最后一段“Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. (尽管现在一天看到两只陆龟是罕见而特别的，但非营利组织将继续为保护它们而奋斗)”可知，本文主要介绍了莫哈韦沙漠龟数量减少的现状、原因，以及各方为保护它们所做的努力。故选C。 第二节（共12．5小题；每小题1．5分，满分22．5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。 Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry. But something else is becoming more important in today’s world: information. ____16____ And the technology that we use to do this is called information—hour news, e-commerce, international communication, mobile phones, global positioning systems. All these are making the world smaller and faster. The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country develop, or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. It is starting a real global village, where people only dreamed of a generation ago. ____17____ Billions of people cannot read those words because they do not have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either—the language that around half of the information on the Internet is written in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority. The contrast between countries that have information technology and those that don’t is called the “digital divide”. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use Information and Communication technologies. ____18____ The United Nations is trying to make the information society a reality for more of the world’s developing world. ____19____ It wants to see rich countries share their technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve business medicine, science and agriculture, and create new opportunities and employment. At the same time, cultures, languages and traditions will become stronger. World internet use has been growing massively—by about a billion users every five years—and now nearly half of the world is connected to the Internet. But does information come with freedom? ____20____ Information is power, so who will people share it? Doesn’t more information mean fewer jobs? And how can most of the world’s people keep local cultures alive if most of them are only connected to broadband and outside media in one language? A. The digital divide will soon disappear completely. B. It focuses on sharing technology, care and education. C. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few. D. There are still many questions about the information age. E. Information is flowing around the world every hour of every day. F. What about the impact of information on different aspects of life? G. But can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕信息时代展开，探讨了信息的重要性、信息传播带来的影响、全球存在的“数字鸿沟”现象、联合国为缩小数字鸿沟所做的努力，以及信息时代引发的诸多问题和思考。 【16题详解】 上文“Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, then around industry.

This was proven by four-year-old Kyndal Bradley during a crisis at daycare. After Kyndal Bradley had breakfast, her mom, Taylor Moore, sent her to the kindergarten as usual. She felt as happy as usual. On arriving at the kindergarten, she greeted her classmates and teachers as warmly as before. She placed her schoolbag in the fixed shelf and played together with her classmates cheerfully. As a matter of fact, Kyndal did enjoy her time at the kindergarten. The morning started with language lesson, during which she learned how to spell and pronounce English words. She focused her attention on the lesson and she did master what she was taught. Then it came to the second class, which is about reading and sharing stories. Teacher Ms. Henderson was reading a book when she suddenly stopped. She made a strange noise. Her body became straight and still and then fell backwards onto the floor. Her arms and legs started shaking violently, knocking over those nearby blocks. The room was in chaos. Several children screamed and cried. Others froze and held their toys tight, at a loss what to do. Some just stared silently at their teacher’s frightening movements. With no adult present, the once happy classroom was now full of confusion and fear. Kyndal, sitting near the front, jumped back, covering her mouth. Fear flashed on her face, but it quickly turned to a sudden determination. While other kids were in a panic, Kyndal didn’t freeze or cry. She soon took action. Remembering that help was in the main office down the hall, she rose to her feet. She ran around tables and toys to the heavy classroom door. Using all her strength, she pushed hard until it opened enough for her to slip out. 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。 Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her mom Moore knew nothing about her bravery until pickup time. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Kyndal burst into the office, out of breath but focused. She urgently pulled the daycare director’s sleeve. “Help! Help!” Kyndal shouted clearly. “Teacher fell! She’s shaking on the floor! Hurry, please!” She pointed straight back to her classroom. All the teachers in the office soon realized what had happened. They quickly ran out of the office and arrived at Kyndal’s childcare room. Soon, paramedics arrived quickly and took Ms. Henderson to the hospital for important care. Kyndal’s fast action and clear words did save her teacher’s life. Her mom Moore knew nothing about her bravery until pickup time. Before Moore could ask questions, the childcare director told her directly. “There was a serious incident today with Ms. Henderson but Kyndal stayed calm, ran for help, and told us exactly what happened. She saved her teacher’s life,” she said gratefully. Moore was shocked at this news. Though Moore had taught her daughter some basics like her phone number and address, she had never thought to teach what to do in an emergency. In relief, Moore said that Kyndal had a born caring spirit. Moore is very proud of how Kyndal stayed calm during the scary event. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四岁的Kyndal Bradley在幼儿园老师Henderson突发意外、现场陷入混乱时，未像其他孩子一样慌乱，而是冷静跑去办公室求助，最终帮助老师获得及时救治，展现其天生应急本能与勇敢的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Kyndal冲进主办公室，虽然气喘吁吁，但眼神依旧专注。”以及第二段首句内容“直到放学接孩子时，妈妈Moore才得知女儿的勇敢举动。”可知，第一段可描写Kyndal清晰地向幼儿园园长和老师们说明了Henderson老师晕倒的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“直到放学接孩子时，妈妈Moore才得知女儿的勇敢举动。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈从园长那儿得知了女儿的举动，非常震惊，同时也为女儿感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：Kyndal冲进办公室——清晰地告知其老师晕倒了——老师们立刻明白发生了什么事——老师们赶紧赶到Henderson老师晕倒的教室——医护人员也及时赶到——Kyndal清晰的表述和迅速的行动救了老师的命——Kyndal的妈妈Moore得知了女儿的勇敢举动——Moore非常震惊女儿的举动——Moore对于女儿的举动感到非常骄傲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①明白：realize/come to know ②到达：arrive at/reach ③对……感到自豪：be proud of/take pride in 情绪类 ①感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②震惊的：shocked/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】All the teachers in the office soon realized what had happened.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Before Moore could ask questions, the childcare director told her directly.（运用了before引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
