Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar. Yangon Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon’s wide streets come alive with stalls (货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight. Mandalay Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss. Bagan Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires. Kalaw If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking (长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation. 1 What makes Yangon different from other Asian cities? A. Its large population. B. Shwedagon Paya. C. Its delicious food. D. The trees everywhere. 2. What do Mandalay and Bagan have in common? A. The old capital identity. B. The diverse cuisines. C. The royal palaces. D. The Buddhist temples. 3. What will visitors experience in Kalaw? A. The temple culture. B. The local lifestyle. C. The cozy accommodation. D. The fresh cuisines. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了缅甸的四个热门旅游目的地，包括仰光、曼德勒、蒲甘和卡劳，并描述了每个地方的特色和吸引游客的亮点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. (到处都是树，这使它与其他亚洲城市的感觉完全不同。)”可知，到处都是树让仰光不同于其他亚洲城市。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar.( 风景如画的曼德勒以缅甸的古都而闻名。)”和第四段“The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. (蒲甘最受欢迎的旅游目的地是9世纪至13世纪第一缅甸帝国的首都。)”可知，曼德勒和蒲甘的共同之处是古都身份。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When trekking through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. (当徒步穿越卡劳的山丘时，你将体验到当地人多样的风景、文化和生活方式，同时享受新鲜的空气和美丽的景色。)”可知，游客在卡劳会体验到当地的生活方式。故选B。 B Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained. “I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.” As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.” The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. 4. What is Finger Dance? A. A machine learning device. B. A real-time translation tool. C. An app assisting to learn ASL. D. A program aimed for the deaf. 5. Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities? A. To win a series of technological contests. B. To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person. C. To create scientific innovation projects by coding. D. To connect the two communities using technology. 6 What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text? A. He prefers developing apps for deaf people. B. He is talented for American Sign Language. C. He has a strong sense of social responsibility. D. He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook. 7. What message is the text meant to convey? A. Technology serves society. B. Coding is everything. C. Knowledge changes destiny. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了17岁编程天才Eashwar获Swift学生挑战赛奖项，其开发的应用助力聋人与听力正常人群沟通。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. (他提交的作品Finger Dance旨在促进聋人群体和听力正常人群之间更好的沟通。该应用利用机器学习和增强现实技术，识别用户的手势并将其归类为美国手语字母，帮助初学者学习美国手语)”可知，Finger Dance是一款辅助学习美国手语的应用。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities. (我认为需要技术来真正弥合这两个群体之间的差距)”可知，Eashwar开发相关应用是为了用技术连接聋人群体和听力正常人群。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. (他提交的作品Finger Dance旨在促进聋人群体和听力正常人群之间更好的沟通)”以及第三段中“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities. (我认为需要技术来真正弥合这两个群体之间的差距)”和最后一段中““What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. (“真正激励我进入这个领域的是，你可以通过计算机科学和机器学习给世界带来的高影响力的社会创新，”Eashwar分享道)”可推知，Eashwar关注社会需求，想用技术解决实际问题，体现出强烈的社会责任感。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. (这位STEM明星显然对编码和应用程序开发可以为世界提供的切实可行、影响广泛的解决方案充满热情。“真正激励我进入这个领域的是，你可以通过计算机科学和机器学习给世界带来的高影响力的社会创新，”Eashwar分享道)”可知，文章围绕Eashwar开发应用助力不同群体沟通展开，凸显其用技术解决社会问题的理念，核心是“技术服务社会”。故选A。 C Nowadays, many Chinese tourists are so troubled by holiday crowds that seeking out unheralded (冷门的) destinations has become a trend known as “reverse travel”. Aside from providing people with better travel experiences with fewer crowds, reverse travel also meets their need for novelty and uniqueness. A key driver of travelers heading to lesser-known cities is cost. While the Labor Day holiday saw record numbers of domestic travelers, average spending per person remained below pre-pandemic levels according to a report. Hotels in lesser-known cities can be five times cheaper than in Beijing or Shanghai. The reverse travel trend has seen surging bookings in smaller cities, driven mostly by young people escaping the crowds on Shanghai’s Nanjing Road or in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Wang Xinyu is one of them. During the Labor Day holiday, she left for Weihai, a less famous city for traveling. “Not only can I experience the local way of life by wandering through a park or exploring a market, but the hotel here also costs only a third of the price of Nanjing’s downtown hotels — it’s much more cost-effective,” says Wang. However, escaping large popular cities doesn’t guarantee better experiences. The recent virality of niche (小众的) travel spots has revealed formerly hidden gems (宝石) to more travelers, but many small towns and rural areas aren’t well equipped to handle the new tourist influx. Handan, a city of 9 million in Hebei Province, suffered overcrowding during the Labor Day holiday when it was listed as the seventh most popular “niche” travel spot by social media. Those who come with high hopes of idyllic (田园风的) breaks often instead find limited public transport, entertainment facilities, and charm. Some even report boredom. No destination or time is perfect. Either visitors see famous sites and face the crowds, or head off the beaten track and endure worse accommodation and transport options. “With the crazy amount of people traveling now, you have to let go of something if you want some peace and quiet,” says Mr. Zhai, a tourism researcher from Beijing. 8. Why does the author mention Wang Xinyu’s traveling experience? A. To explain how to choose hotels. B. To introduce Weihai’s scenic spots. C. To present reverse travel’s advantages. D. To prove young people love traveling. 9. What might have caused unpleasant reverse traveling experiences? A. Low budget way of traveling. B. Higher hotel costs during holidays. C. Overcrowding in famous destinations. D. Inadequate facilities in small destinations. 10. What might be Mr. Zhai’s attitude to traveling? A. Travelers prefer unheralded spots. B. Travelers need to think carefully. C. Traditional tours are in decline. D. Reverse travel is a new trend. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Reverse Travel: Trends and Troubles B. Cost-effective Holidays Gain Popularity C. Holiday Crowds Trouble Chinese Tourists D. Famous Attractions VS Small Destinations 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“反向旅行”这一新兴旅游趋势，包括其背后的原因、优势以及可能带来的问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wang Xinyu is one of them. During the Labor Day holiday, she left for Weihai, a less famous city for traveling. “Not only can I experience the local way of life by wandering through a park or exploring a market, but the hotel here also costs only a third of the price of Nanjing’s downtown hotels — it’s much more cost-effective,” says Wang. (王馨宇就是其中之一。劳动节假期期间，她去了威海，一个不太有名的旅游城市。王馨宇说：“我不仅可以通过在公园漫步或逛市场来体验当地的生活方式，而且这里的酒店价格也只有南京市区酒店价格的三分之一——这要划算得多。”)”可知，王馨宇的旅行经历展示了反向旅行的好处，即能体验当地生活方式且费用较低。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, escaping large popular cities doesn’t guarantee better experiences. The recent virality of niche travel spots has revealed formerly hidden gems to more travelers, but many small towns and rural areas aren’t well equipped to handle the new tourist influx. (然而，逃离大型热门城市并不能保证有更好的体验。最近小众旅游景点的流行向更多的旅行者揭示了以前隐藏的宝石，但许多小镇和农村地区并没有很好的设施来应对新的游客涌入。)”可知，小型旅游目的地的设施不足可能导致不愉快的反向旅行体验。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No destination or time is perfect. Either visitors see famous sites and face the crowds, or head off the beaten track and endure worse accommodation and transport options. “With the crazy amount of people traveling now, you have to let go of something if you want some peace and quiet,” says Mr. Zhai, a tourism researcher from Beijing. (没有完美的目的地或时间。游客要么去看著名的景点，面对人群，要么走不寻常的路，忍受更差的住宿和交通选择。北京的一位旅游研究员翟先生说：“现在旅行的人太多了，如果你想要一些宁静，你就必须放弃一些东西。”)”可知，翟先生认为旅行者需要仔细考虑，权衡利弊，做出选择。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nowadays, many Chinese tourists are so troubled by holiday crowds that seeking out unheralded destinations has become a trend known as “reverse travel”. (如今，许多中国游客被假日人群所困扰，以至于寻找鲜为人知的目的地已成为一种被称为“反向旅行”的趋势。)”和最后一段“No destination or time is perfect. (没有完美的目的地或时间。)”以及文章中间部分介绍了反向旅行的优势和可能带来的问题可知，这篇文章主要讨论了反向旅行的趋势及其带来的麻烦，所以选项A：“反向旅游：趋势与问题”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D Flamingos are eye-catching birds known for their pink color, standing on one leg to conserve energy, and dancing during mating and eating. Scientists have understood them to be filter (过滤) feeders. Like baleen whales, they have developed parts of the mouth that allow them to filter and eat small organisms from the water. One biology researcher from Northern California became curious about what was going on under the water. It started when he and his family were visiting the zoo in Atlanta Georgia, and he noticed a flamingo eating. Surprised that scientific research hadn’t yet delivered an answer, he decided to investigate. After studying the animals for a few years, he announced his findings in May. Flamingos, he says, aren’t simply passively filtering food. They are deliberately moving water in ways that direct the prey into their mouths. They use their L-shaped beaks upside down underwater to create vortex (漩涡) — like mini-tornadoes of water. The water, which can contain small organisms, moves from the lake bed or seafloor to the water surface and into the flamingos’ mouths. To find out what was happening, the researcher and his team studied three flamingos that were trained to feed in a clear container. The scientists also built a three-dimensional model of a flamingo beak and watched it work underwater. They found that flamingos frequently pull their heads out of the water during the process of feeding. The birds also chatter (鸣叫), or clap their beaks together, when the tops of their heads but not their beaks are out of the water. These movements, along with a dance-like stomping motion they do with their feet, create the vortexes. While the flamingos’ motions can look playful, they serve an important role in their survival. 12. What can we know about flamingos from the first paragraph? A. They use filtering to attract potential mates’ attention. B. They adopt specific postures to display their beauty. C. Their pink feathers are closely related to mating behavior. D. The function of their mouth parts is similar to those of baleen whales. 13. What does the underlined word “prey” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. The water in the container. B. The vortex-like mini-tornadoes. C. The small organisms in the water. D. The L-shaped beaks of flamingos. 14. What can we infer from the researcher’s investigation? A. All flamingos live in lakes or seas with clear water. B. The findings use three wild flamingos as study objects. C. Baleen whales catch food in the same way as flamingos. D. Flamingos’ feeding is more complex than previously thought. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How flamingos created vortexes. B. How three flamingos are trained. C. How researchers built 3D models. D. How flamingos survive the vortexes. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家对火烈鸟进食方式的最新研究，指出火烈鸟并非单纯被动过滤食物，而是主动制造漩涡引导猎物进入口中，其进食方式比之前认为的更为复杂。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Like baleen whales, they have developed parts of the mouth that allow them to filter and eat small organisms from the water.(像须鲸一样，它们进化出了嘴巴的部分结构，使它们能够过滤并食用水中的小生物。)”可知，火烈鸟嘴部器官的功能与须鲸相似。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“They use their L-shaped beaks upside down underwater to create vortex (漩涡) —like mini-tornadoes of water. The water, which can contain small organisms, moves from the lake bed or seafloor to the water surface and into the flamingos’ mouths.(它们用L形的喙在水下倒过来制造漩涡一样的微型水龙卷风。含有微小生物的水流会从湖底或海底涌向水面，最终流入火烈鸟的口中。)”可知，火烈鸟制造漩涡是为了将水中的小生物引导到它们的嘴里，因此“prey”在这里应该指的是“水中的小生物”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Flamingos, he says, aren’t simply passively filtering food. They are deliberately moving water in ways that direct the prey into their mouths.(他说，火烈鸟并不是简单地被动过滤食物。它们有意地以一种将猎物引导到它们嘴里的方式移动水。)”可推断，火烈鸟的进食方式比之前认为的更为复杂。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To find out what was happening, the researcher and his team studied three flamingos that were trained to feed in a clear container. The scientists also built a three-dimensional model of a flamingo beak and watched it work underwater. They found that flamingos frequently pull their heads out of the water during the process of feeding. The birds also chatter (鸣叫), or clap their beaks together, when the tops of their heads but not their beaks are out of the water. These movements, along with a dance-like stomping motion they do with their feet, create the vortexes.(为了弄清楚发生了什么，研究人员和他的团队研究了三只被训练在透明容器中进食的火烈鸟。科学家们还建造了一个火烈鸟喙的三维模型，并观察它在水下的工作情况。他们发现火烈鸟在进食过程中经常把头从水里拉出来。当它们的头顶而不是喙露出水面时，它们也会鸣叫或拍打喙。这些动作，加上它们用脚做的类似舞蹈的跺脚动作，产生了漩涡。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了火烈鸟如何制造漩涡。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four Things to Say to Someone Who Won’t Get off Their Phone Trying to talk to someone attached to their phone is a universal experience. There’s a name for it: phubbing. When someone phubs you, you feel like you’re not important. ____16____ That’s why solutions are needed to handle it. Here’s exactly what to say when the person you’re trying to talk to won’t put down their phone. 1 “Is everything OK?” ____17____ Meanwhile it implies that if there’s not, it would be better to put the phone down. It might feel slightly confrontational (挑衅的), but it’s better than snapping at the other person to get off their device. This question is a callout. It helps you find a way to thread (穿过) that needle of acknowledging that there might be something important going on. 2 “____18____” Focusing on how someone’s phone use makes you feel can be more effective than judgemental comments. It won’t help to bark, “You’re always on TikTok! You don’t care about me!” Highlighting how someone’s behavior makes you feel, however, plants a seed that can encourage them to re-evaluate their habits. The most important thing is to approach phubbing from a position of being nonjudgmental. 3 “Can we take a 10-minute phone break?” You’re not asking them to disconnect with their phone forever. ____19____ People are more likely to unplug when there’s a clear time boundary and a good reason. Plus, it’s cooperative, almost like you’re proposing a team challenge. In this way, it helps build healthier screen habits. 4 “These moments with you really matter to me.” If you’re at dinner with friends, or are spending time with a family member you don’t get to see often, consider calling attention to the significance of the moment. ____20____ Or, phrase it like this: “This time together deserves our full attention, don’t you think?” You could even follow up by adding, “I’d hate to look back and feel like we missed out because of our screens.” It can be very powerful and lead to meaningful improvements in relationship quality. A. I feel like I’m being ignored. B. Rather, you’re inviting a shared moment. C. Tell them you miss them when they’re on their phone. D. You never pay attention to me when you’re on the phone. E. This request forces them to stop using the phone temporarily. F. This question allows for the possibility that there’s an emergency. G. Phubbing negatively affects mental health, relationship satisfaction, and overall well-being. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对“低头族”（phubbing）的四种沟通方式。 【16题详解】 上文“When someone phubs you, you feel like you’re not important.(当有人忽视你时，你会觉得自己不重要)”描述了被忽视的感受。下文“That’s why solutions are needed to handle it.(这就是为什么需要解决方案来处理它)”指出了需要解决问题。由此可知，空处应该是一个过渡句，说明为什么需要解决问题，即“低头族”带来的负面影响。选项G“Phubbing negatively affects mental health, relationship satisfaction, and overall well-being.(低头族对心理健康、关系满意度和整体幸福感有负面影响)”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Is everything OK?(一切都好吗？)”是一个疑问句，询问对方是否一切都好。下文“Meanwhile it implies that if there’s not, it would be better to put the phone down.(同时，这也暗示着如果不好，最好放下手机)”进一步解释了上文问题的隐含意义。由此可知，空处应该是一个解释上文问题可能性的句子。选项F“This question allows for the possibility that there’s an emergency.(这个问题允许存在紧急情况的可能性。)”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“Focusing on how someone’s phone use makes you feel can be more effective than judgemental comments.(关注别人使用手机给你带来的感受，比评判性的评论更有效)”强调了关注感受的重要性。由此可知，空处应该是一个表达感受的句子。选项A“I feel like I’m being ignored.(我觉得我被忽视了)”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“You’re not asking them to disconnect with their phone forever.(你不是要求他们永远断开与手机的联系)”否定了永远断开与手机联系的可能性。下文“People are more likely to unplug when there’s a clear time boundary and a good reason.(当有明确的时间界限和充分的理由时，人们更有可能断开与手机的联系)”说明了在什么情况下人们更可能断开与手机的联系。由此可知，空处应该是一个与上文形成对比，同时引出下文的句子。选项B“Rather, you’re inviting a shared moment.(相反，你是在邀请共享一段时光)”与上文形成对比，同时引出了下文关于在特定情况下断开与手机联系的讨论，符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“If you’re at dinner with friends, or are spending time with a family member you don’t get to see often, consider calling attention to the significance of the moment.(如果你和朋友一起吃饭，或者和一个不常见面的家人在一起，考虑一下提醒对方这个时刻的重要性)”强调了提醒对方这个时刻的重要性。下文“Or, phrase it like this: “This time together deserves our full attention, don’t you think?”(或者，可以这样说：“这次相聚值得我们全神贯注，你不觉得吗？”)”给出了一个具体的表达方式。由此可知，空处应该是一个与上文相似，但表达方式不同的句子。选项C“Tell them you miss them when they’re on their phone.(告诉他们，当他们玩手机的时候，你很想念他们)”表达了相似的情感，即珍惜与对方在一起的时光，同时也可以作为提醒对方注意这个时刻的一种方式，符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One Saturday afternoon, Bell went fishing on Lake Wachi.

The head was twice as big as the body and the ears were almost as big as the head. It was funny but looked just like Olivia. When holding up the picture for Emily to see, Olivia advised Emily to have herself drawn. But Emily shrugged and declined, mentioning that she hated others joking about her appearance. She had tolerated too many lighthearted “jokes” about her freckles(雀斑) since childhood. Each joke amused others but hurt her. Olivia liked the drawing and wished she could draw as well as the cartoonist. Emily told Olivia she was a good artist and encouraged her to draw a cartoon for the school art exhibition. “A cartoon? No way. I can’t draw like that,” said Olivia. “Well, not yet, but maybe someday you can,” Emily responded. Encouraged by Emily’s confidence in her, Olivia decided to make a change. That evening, she took out a fresh page, found a photo of a person and began to sketch. It turned out terribly. But Olivia didn’t lose heart and practised hard the following days. She practised every evening for two weeks. She even bought a book about caricatures and learned some of the secrets: Exaggerate the main features. Leave out parts that aren’t important. Keep everything simple. Soon she could use a few lines and shapes to draw a funny caricature just like the cartoonist did. With the art show coming, Olivia decided to sign up for it and draw someone nobody had drawn before — Emily, her best friend. She immediately set to work. She was so satisfied with the cartoon that she thought she had a chance to win first place. To give Emily a surprise, Olivia kept it a secret from her. On the opening day, the art exhibition attracted many students, including Emily, who was looking forward to Olivia’s amazing drawing and ready to applaud her. 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。 When Olivia arrived, Emily was staring at the cartoon with watery eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching Emily’s disappearing shadow, Olivia decided to do something to make up for her fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 When Olivia arrived, Emily was staring at the cartoon with watery eyes. On seeing Olivia, she sniffed and asked if the cartoon was supposed to be her. After Olivia murmured a “yes”, Emily’s anger erupted. She protested that not only did Olivia’s cartoon exaggerate her freckles, but it also made her fluffy hair look like a plate of spaghetti. “This is the ugliest cartoon I’ve ever seen” exclaimed Olivia. Hearing these words, Olivia froze, shocked that her carefully prepared surprise had turned into a disappointment. She tried to explain but Emily stormed off, leaving her with only a disappearing shadow. Watching Emily’s disappearing shadow, Olivia decided to do something to make up for her fault. That night she set about crafting the most exquisite portrait of Emily she could. The next morning, Olivia sought Emily out, apologized sincerely and begged for forgiveness, explaining that she had never meant to tease her — she had drawn her solely as her best friend. She then presented Emily’s new portrait. Its beauty made Emily’s eyes sparkle. She forgave Olivia, praised her cartoon progress and even apologized for calling her earlier drawing ugly. Exchanging a knowing smile, they walked to the classroom together, their friendship deeper than ever. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Olivia在一家披萨店看到一位漫画家为她画了一幅有趣的漫画后，受到启发并决定学习画画。尽管一开始画得很糟糕，但她没有灰心，坚持练习，最终掌握了画漫画的技巧。在学校的艺术展览上，她决定画自己的好朋友Emily的漫画像，并对此充满信心，想给Emily一个惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Olivia赶到时，Emily正泪眼汪汪地盯着那幅漫画。”可知，第一段可描写漫画的具体内容以及Emily看到漫画后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“望着Emily消失的背影，Olivia决定做点什么来弥补自己的过错。”可知，第二段可描写Olivia道歉并获得谅解的过程。 2.续写线索：Emily生气——Olivia愣住了——想要解释——道歉——谅解——和好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试做某事：try to do sth/attempt to do sth ②解释：explain/account for ③嘲笑：tease/laugh at ④赞美：praise/speak highly of 情绪类 ①生气：anger/indignation ②失望：disappointment/despair 【点睛】[高分句型1] The next morning, Olivia sought Emily out, apologized sincerely and begged for forgiveness, explaining that she had never meant to tease her — she had drawn her solely as her best friend.（运用了that引导宾语从句，现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Exchanging a knowing smile, they walked to the classroom together, their friendship deeper than ever.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 肇庆市2026届高中毕业班第一次模拟考试英语 本试题共10页，考试时间120分钟，满分120分 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的信息填写清楚、准确，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码粘贴处。 2.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 3.答题时请按要求用笔，保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不得使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。考试结束后，请将本试题及答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读(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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A If you’re looking for a truly original country to visit, then Myanmar is the place. Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar. Yangon Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon’s wide streets come alive with stalls (货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight. Mandalay Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss. Bagan Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires. Kalaw If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking (长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation. 1. What makes Yangon different from other Asian cities? A. Its large population. B. Shwedagon Paya. C. Its delicious food. D. The trees everywhere. 2. What do Mandalay and Bagan have in common? A. The old capital identity. B. The diverse cuisines. C. The royal palaces. D. The Buddhist temples. 3. What will visitors experience in Kalaw? A. The temple culture. B. The local lifestyle. C. The cozy accommodation. D. The fresh cuisines. B Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained. “I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.” As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.” The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. 4. What is Finger Dance? A. A machine learning device. B. A real-time translation tool. C. An app assisting to learn ASL. D. A program aimed for the deaf. 5. Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities? A. To win a series of technological contests. B. To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person. C. To create scientific innovation projects by coding. D. To connect the two communities using technology. 6. What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text? A. He prefers developing apps for deaf people. B. He is talented for American Sign Language. C. He has a strong sense of social responsibility. D. He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook. 7. What message is the text meant to convey? A. Technology serves society. B. Coding is everything. C. Knowledge changes destiny. D. Practice makes perfect. C Nowadays, many Chinese tourists are so troubled by holiday crowds that seeking out unheralded (冷门的) destinations has become a trend known as “reverse travel”. Aside from providing people with better travel experiences with fewer crowds, reverse travel also meets their need for novelty and uniqueness. A key driver of travelers heading to lesser-known cities is cost. While the Labor Day holiday saw record numbers of domestic travelers, average spending per person remained below pre-pandemic levels according to a report. Hotels in lesser-known cities can be five times cheaper than in Beijing or Shanghai. The reverse travel trend has seen surging bookings in smaller cities, driven mostly by young people escaping the crowds on Shanghai’s Nanjing Road or in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Wang Xinyu is one of them. During the Labor Day holiday, she left for Weihai, a less famous city for traveling. “Not only can I experience the local way of life by wandering through a park or exploring a market, but the hotel here also costs only a third of the price of Nanjing’s downtown hotels — it’s much more cost-effective,” says Wang. However, escaping large popular cities doesn’t guarantee better experiences. The recent virality of niche (小众的) travel spots has revealed formerly hidden gems (宝石) to more travelers, but many small towns and rural areas aren’t well equipped to handle the new tourist influx. Handan, a city of 9 million in Hebei Province, suffered overcrowding during the Labor Day holiday when it was listed as the seventh most popular “niche” travel spot by social media. Those who come with high hopes of idyllic (田园风的) breaks often instead find limited public transport, entertainment facilities, and charm. Some even report boredom. No destination or time is perfect. Either visitors see famous sites and face the crowds, or head off the beaten track and endure worse accommodation and transport options. “With the crazy amount of people traveling now, you have to let go of something if you want some peace and quiet,” says Mr. Zhai, a tourism researcher from Beijing. 8. Why does the author mention Wang Xinyu’s traveling experience? A. To explain how to choose hotels. B. To introduce Weihai’s scenic spots. C To present reverse travel’s advantages. D. To prove young people love traveling. 9 What might have caused unpleasant reverse traveling experiences? A. Low budget way of traveling. B. Higher hotel costs during holidays. C. Overcrowding in famous destinations. D. Inadequate facilities in small destinations. 10. What might be Mr. Zhai’s attitude to traveling? A. Travelers prefer unheralded spots. B. Travelers need to think carefully. C. Traditional tours are in decline. D. Reverse travel is a new trend. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Reverse Travel: Trends and Troubles B. Cost-effective Holidays Gain Popularity C. Holiday Crowds Trouble Chinese Tourists D. Famous Attractions VS Small Destinations D Flamingos are eye-catching birds known for their pink color, standing on one leg to conserve energy, and dancing during mating and eating. Scientists have understood them to be filter (过滤) feeders. Like baleen whales, they have developed parts of the mouth that allow them to filter and eat small organisms from the water. One biology researcher from Northern California became curious about what was going on under the water. It started when he and his family were visiting the zoo in Atlanta, Georgia, and he noticed a flamingo eating. Surprised that scientific research hadn’t yet delivered an answer, he decided to investigate. After studying the animals for a few years, he announced his findings in May. Flamingos, he says, aren’t simply passively filtering food. They are deliberately moving water in ways that direct the prey into their mouths. They use their L-shaped beaks upside down underwater to create vortex (漩涡) — like mini-tornadoes of water. The water, which can contain small organisms, moves from the lake bed or seafloor to the water surface and into the flamingos’ mouths. To find out what was happening, the researcher and his team studied three flamingos that were trained to feed in a clear container. The scientists also built a three-dimensional model of a flamingo beak and watched it work underwater. They found that flamingos frequently pull their heads out of the water during the process of feeding. The birds also chatter (鸣叫), or clap their beaks together, when the tops of their heads but not their beaks are out of the water. These movements, along with a dance-like stomping motion they do with their feet, create the vortexes. While the flamingos’ motions can look playful, they serve an important role in their survival. 12. What can we know about flamingos from the first paragraph? A. They use filtering to attract potential mates’ attention. B. They adopt specific postures to display their beauty. C. Their pink feathers are closely related to mating behavior. D. The function of their mouth parts is similar to those of baleen whales. 13. What does the underlined word “prey” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. The water in the container. B. The vortex-like mini-tornadoes. C. The small organisms in the water. D. The L-shaped beaks of flamingos. 14. What can we infer from the researcher’s investigation? A. All flamingos live in lakes or seas with clear water. B. The findings use three wild flamingos as study objects. C. Baleen whales catch food in the same way as flamingos. D. Flamingos’ feeding is more complex than previously thought. 15 What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How flamingos created vortexes. B. How three flamingos are trained. C. How researchers built 3D models. D. How flamingos survive the vortexes. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four Things to Say to Someone Who Won’t Get off Their Phone Trying to talk to someone attached to their phone is a universal experience. There’s a name for it: phubbing. When someone phubs you, you feel like you’re not important. ____16____ That’s why solutions are needed to handle it. Here’s exactly what to say when the person you’re trying to talk to won’t put down their phone. 1 “Is everything OK?” ____17____ Meanwhile it implies that if there’s not, it would be better to put the phone down. It might feel slightly confrontational (挑衅的), but it’s better than snapping at the other person to get off their device. This question is a callout. It helps you find a way to thread (穿过) that needle of acknowledging that there might be something important going on. 2 “____18____” Focusing on how someone’s phone use makes you feel can be more effective than judgemental comments. It won’t help to bark, “You’re always on TikTok! You don’t care about me!” Highlighting how someone’s behavior makes you feel, however, plants a seed that can encourage them to re-evaluate their habits. The most important thing is to approach phubbing from a position of being nonjudgmental. 3 “Can we take a 10-minute phone break?” You’re not asking them to disconnect with their phone forever. ____19____ People are more likely to unplug when there’s a clear time boundary and a good reason. Plus, it’s cooperative, almost like you’re proposing a team challenge. In this way, it helps build healthier screen habits. 4 “These moments with you really matter to me.” If you’re at dinner with friends, or are spending time with a family member you don’t get to see often, consider calling attention to the significance of the moment. ____20____ Or, phrase it like this: “This time together deserves our full attention, don’t you think?” You could even follow up by adding, “I’d hate to look back and feel like we missed out because of our screens.” It can be very powerful and lead to meaningful improvements in relationship quality. A. I feel like I’m being ignored. B. Rather, you’re inviting a shared moment. C. Tell them you miss them when they’re on their phone. D. You never pay attention to me when you’re on the phone. E. This request forces them to stop using the phone temporarily. F. This question allows for the possibility that there’s an emergency. G. Phubbing negatively affects mental health, relationship satisfaction, and overall well-being. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One Saturday afternoon, Bell went fishing on Lake Wachi.

The head was twice as big as the body and the ears were almost as big as the head. It was funny but looked just like Olivia. When holding up the picture for Emily to see, Olivia advised Emily to have herself drawn. But Emily shrugged and declined, mentioning that she hated others joking about her appearance. She had tolerated too many lighthearted “jokes” about her freckles(雀斑) since childhood. Each joke amused others but hurt her. Olivia liked the drawing and wished she could draw as well as the cartoonist. Emily told Olivia she was a good artist and encouraged her to draw a cartoon for the school art exhibition. “A cartoon? No way. I can’t draw like that,” said Olivia. “Well, not yet, but maybe someday you can,” Emily responded. Encouraged by Emily’s confidence in her, Olivia decided to make a change. That evening, she took out a fresh page, found a photo of a person and began to sketch. It turned out terribly. But Olivia didn’t lose heart and practised hard the following days. She practised every evening for two weeks. She even bought a book about caricatures and learned some of the secrets: Exaggerate the main features. Leave out parts that aren’t important. Keep everything simple. Soon she could use a few lines and shapes to draw a funny caricature just like the cartoonist did. With the art show coming, Olivia decided to sign up for it and draw someone nobody had drawn before — Emily, her best friend. She immediately set to work. She was so satisfied with the cartoon that she thought she had a chance to win first place. To give Emily a surprise, Olivia kept it a secret from her. On the opening day, the art exhibition attracted many students, including Emily, who was looking forward to Olivia’s amazing drawing and ready to applaud her. 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。 When Olivia arrived, Emily was staring at the cartoon with watery eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching Emily’s disappearing shadow, Olivia decided to do something to make up for her fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
