B Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103. Born in 1922 Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies. After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education. Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. 4. What is the article mainly about? A. Yang’s lifelong contributions to China. B. Yang’s research on elementary particles. C. Yang’s influence on global science policy. D. Yang’s educational background in America. 5. Why was Yang’s 1971 visit significant? A. It focused on political dialogue. B. It promoted cultural activities in China. C. It aimed to win a Nobel Prize for China. D. It initiated academic exchanges with the US. 6. What did Yang do for Chinese scholars? A. He funded their advanced studies abroad. B. He helped them win international awards. C. He taught them advanced physics personally. D. He offered them jobs in American universities. 7. How does the author view Yang’s contributions? A It is primarily for Chinese scientists. B. It belongs to the whole world. C. It lies in his Nobel Prize achievement. D. It is mainly about educational reform. C Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 8. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 9. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 10. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Psychology behind “Maybe” B. The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe” C. “Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict D. “Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations D In recent years, Alchemist, a top restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, used ants in some dishes. Once, Alchemist’s team members left milk with an ant in the fridge unintentionally, and noticed it soon thickened. From there, Alchemist, which aims to “transform and go beyond the nature of food and dining”, recreated a nearly-forgotten ancient Turkish and Bulgarian recipe for making yogurt from the six-legged creatures. Their experiments’ success caught the attention of experts like anthropologists and microbiologists, who sought to understand what it is about ants that could ferment (发酵) yogurt. Their research was published in iScience. The fermentation of milk into products such as yogurt and cheese dates back around 9,000 years to Anatolia, in modern-day Turkey. For thousands of years, yogurt recipes varied greatly by cultures and regions, with different groups introducing different tiny living things into milk to start fermentation, by adding materials such as pinecones, chamomile and nettle roots. That started to change in the 1900s, when yogurt was industrialized and makers focused on just a few bacterial species (菌株). To learn more, the team visited a Bulgarian expert who shared a tradition: putting red wood ants into milk to make yogurt. The team embarked on the method — they put four ants in warm milk and left it in an ant nest overnight. The next day, the milk was thick and sour. Back in the lab, the team found ants release certain substances that turn milk into yogurt. Alchemist then created three ant-based foods: an ice cream sandwich, a creamy cheese, and a cocktail. But enthusiasts shouldn’t try the Alchemist recipe at home. The researchers say that ant-based fermentation is best left to the professionals, because it can introduce a number of food safety concerns. For example, live ants may contain small harmful creatures that live a long time. We should also know the fact that European red wood ants are considered to be a near-threatening species due to recent population declines. Still, this study on old yogurt-making ways might help create more unique, tasty foods in the future. 12. What made Alchemist begin its experiments on the ant-based yogurt? A. The advice from food experts. B. An ancient Turkish recipe. C. Its management philosophy. D. Its accidental discovery. 13. What do we know about the traditional yogurt before the 1900s? A. It relied on industrial processes. B. It featured diverse types of additives. C. It was popular in most countries. D. It could be mass-produced. 14. What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Changed. C. Adopted. D. Opposed. 15. What does the author probably think of using red wood ants to make yogurt? A. It’s unsustainable. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s time-consuming. D. It’s unprofitable. 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。 The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel. Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____16____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____17____ Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____18____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____19____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure. “I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____20____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said. A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip. B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction. C. Even a short trip is better than staying home. D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower. E. That means having only one “motive” for each place. F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared. G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format. 第三部分：英语知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat.

She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 哈尔滨市第六中学2023级上学期12月测试 高三英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies. After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education. Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. 4. What is the article mainly about? A. Yang’s lifelong contributions to China. B. Yang’s research on elementary particles. C. Yang’s influence on global science policy. D. Yang’s educational background in America. 5. Why was Yang’s 1971 visit significant? A. It focused on political dialogue. B. It promoted cultural activities in China. C. It aimed to win a Nobel Prize for China. D. It initiated academic exchanges with the US. 6. What did Yang do for Chinese scholars? A He funded their advanced studies abroad. B. He helped them win international awards. C. He taught them advanced physics personally. D. He offered them jobs in American universities. 7. How does the author view Yang’s contributions? A. It is primarily for Chinese scientists. B. It belongs to the whole world. C. It lies in his Nobel Prize achievement. D. It is mainly about educational reform. 【答案】4 A 5. D 6. A 7.

There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 8. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 9. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 10. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 11 What is the best title for the passage? A. The Psychology behind “Maybe” B. The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe” C. “Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict D. “Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.(想象一下，你赢得了两张售罄音乐会的门票，急切地发短信问朋友是否愿意一起去。他们回复“也许吧”。你的心情立刻变了，因为你需要等他们做决定，才能确定自己的音乐会计划)”以及第二段中的“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life.(如果你有过类似上述轶事的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复“也许”是社交生活中常见却令人恼火的一面)”可知，作者开头提及音乐会轶事，是为了引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”这一常见社交场景。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open.(我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以有偏差的方式解读信息以迎合自己的意愿时，就会发生动机性推理。换句话说，受邀者会说服自己，邀请者更想听到“也许”而不是“不”，因为“也许”对受邀者更有利，能让他们保留选择的余地)”可知，人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的主要原因是对社交信号有偏差的解读。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town.(虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但有时直接明确是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但能避免邀请你的人陷入不确定的状态，而且当下一场音乐会来临时，他们或许还会想到你)”可知，作者建议优先选择清晰明确的回应，而非保留选择余地。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头以音乐会轶事引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的现象，接着在第三段分析了这一现象背后“动机性推理”的心理原因，第四段介绍了人们更愿意说“不”的特定情况，最后给出直接回应的建议。全文围绕“Maybe”背后的心理机制展开，因此A项“‘Maybe’背后的心理学”概括了文章主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 D In recent years, Alchemist, a top restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, used ants in some dishes. Once, Alchemist’s team members left milk with an ant in the fridge unintentionally, and noticed it soon thickened. From there, Alchemist, which aims to “transform and go beyond the nature of food and dining”, recreated a nearly-forgotten ancient Turkish and Bulgarian recipe for making yogurt from the six-legged creatures. Their experiments’ success caught the attention of experts like anthropologists and microbiologists, who sought to understand what it is about ants that could ferment (发酵) yogurt. Their research was published in iScience. The fermentation of milk into products such as yogurt and cheese dates back around 9,000 years to Anatolia, in modern-day Turkey. For thousands of years, yogurt recipes varied greatly by cultures and regions, with different groups introducing different tiny living things into milk to start fermentation, by adding materials such as pinecones, chamomile and nettle roots. That started to change in the 1900s, when yogurt was industrialized and makers focused on just a few bacterial species (菌株). To learn more, the team visited a Bulgarian expert who shared a tradition: putting red wood ants into milk to make yogurt. The team embarked on the method — they put four ants in warm milk and left it in an ant nest overnight. The next day, the milk was thick and sour. Back in the lab, the team found ants release certain substances that turn milk into yogurt. Alchemist then created three ant-based foods: an ice cream sandwich, a creamy cheese, and a cocktail. But enthusiasts shouldn’t try the Alchemist recipe at home. The researchers say that ant-based fermentation is best left to the professionals, because it can introduce a number of food safety concerns. For example, live ants may contain small harmful creatures that live a long time. We should also know the fact that European red wood ants are considered to be a near-threatening species due to recent population declines. Still, this study on old yogurt-making ways might help create more unique, tasty foods in the future. 12. What made Alchemist begin its experiments on the ant-based yogurt? A. The advice from food experts. B. An ancient Turkish recipe. C. Its management philosophy. D. Its accidental discovery. 13 What do we know about the traditional yogurt before the 1900s? A. It relied on industrial processes. B. It featured diverse types of additives. C. It was popular in most countries. D. It could be mass-produced. 14. What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Changed. C. Adopted. D. Opposed. 15. What does the author probably think of using red wood ants to make yogurt? A. It’s unsustainable. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s time-consuming. D. It’s unprofitable. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哥本哈根餐厅Alchemist因偶然发现蚂蚁发酵牛奶的现象，进而复兴古代酸奶配方，科学家受此启发研究其原理，同时指出这种方法有生态与安全上的局限性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once, Alchemist’s team members left milk with an ant in the fridge unintentionally, and noticed it soon thickened. From there, Alchemist, which aims to “transform and go beyond the nature of food and dining”, recreated a nearly-forgotten ancient Turkish and Bulgarian recipe for making yogurt from the six-legged creatures. (有一次，Alchemist的团队成员无意中把牛奶和一只蚂蚁放在冰箱里，发现牛奶很快就变稠了。从那里，旨在“改变并超越食物和餐饮的本质”的Alchemist，重新创造了一种几乎被遗忘的古土耳其和保加利亚配方，用这种六条腿的生物制作酸奶。)”可知，促使Alchemist开始蚂蚁酸奶实验的原因是偶然的发现。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For thousands of years, yogurt recipes varied greatly by cultures and regions, with different groups introducing different tiny living things into milk to start fermentation, by adding materials such as pinecones, chamomile and nettle roots. (几千年来，酸奶的配方因文化和地区的不同而有很大的不同，不同的群体通过添加松果、洋甘菊和荨麻根等材料，将不同的微小生物引入牛奶中启动发酵。)”可知，1900年代前的传统酸奶以多样化的添加物为特点。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语的上文“To learn more, the team visited a Bulgarian expert who shared a tradition: putting red wood ants into milk to make yogurt. (为了了解更多，研究小组拜访了一位保加利亚专家，他分享了一个传统：把红木蚁放进牛奶里做酸奶。)”和下文“they put four ants in warm milk and left it in an ant nest overnight (他们把四只蚂蚁放进热牛奶里，然后把牛奶放在蚁巢里过夜)”可知，团队实际执行了保加利亚专家放入蚂蚁制作酸奶的传统方法，画线短语意思应该是“采用，着手”，于Adopted“采取”意思一致。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We should also know the fact that European red wood ants are considered to be a near-threatening species due to recent population declines. (我们还应该知道，由于最近数量下降，欧洲红木蚁被认为是一种近乎濒危的物种。)”可知，作者指出欧洲红木蚁是近危物种，表明这种发酵方法不适合普及。由此可知，作者认为该方法不可持续。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel. Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____16____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____17____ Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____18____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____19____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure. “I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____20____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said. A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip. B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction. C. Even a short trip is better than staying home. D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower. E. That means having only one “motive” for each place. F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared. G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“24小时一日游旅行”展开，介绍了博主Kevin Droniak对这种旅行方式的实践与看法，并分析了其背后的社会心理。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok.(Droniak是一名内容创作者，他在TikTok上记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行)”及下文“Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning.(通常，它包括一个清晨的航班，一段时间探索一个城市或一个特定的景点，然后在晚上或第二天早上离开)”可知，前文提到Droniak作为一名博主，在TikTok记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行，后文直接描述了他的典型行程，由此可知，G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.(在这些旅行中，他通常坚持“24小时旋风式打卡”的模式)符合语境，既承接前文“记录旅行”，又为后文他的具体描述做铺垫。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared.(快节奏的旅行和24小时旅行比社交媒体和病毒式传播更早出现。然而，这种硬核风格的旅行迎合了我们现代人对快速、有影响力的体验的渴望，这种体验很容易被记录和分享)”可知，指出高强度快节奏旅行符合现代人对快速体验的渴望。由此可知，B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.(这是旅行版的即时满足)符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan.(Droniak说，坐飞机一日游的关键是不要过度计划)”及下文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如，在一次去波多黎各的旅行中，他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗（是的，Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天），他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知，前文强调“一日游的关键是不过度计划”，后面举出实例解释一次只有一个目标。由此可知，E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.(这意味着每个地方只有一个“动机”)符合语境。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如，在一次去波多黎各的旅行中，他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗（是的，Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天），他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知，前文举了两个例子证明他每次只有一个旅行目标。由此可知，D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.(在巴黎，他的目的是参观埃菲尔铁塔)符合语境，又举了例子证实一次只有一个动机。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house.(飞到任何地方进行一日游的想法是不可想象的，但德龙尼亚克认为，最有价值的经历是那些让你完全走出家门的经历)”及空后“Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again(因为它让人们有可能再次体验到孩子般的惊奇感)”可知，德龙尼亚克认为能让人走出家门看世界的经历都是值得的，后文解释这样可以重获孩童般的好奇。由此可知，C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.(即使是短途旅行也比待在家里好)即使是短途旅行也能获得好处，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分：英语知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?”为题，给学校英文报投稿，明确表达对“是否应开设生活技能课程”的看法，并说明理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 坚定：firmly→strongly 必要的：necessary→essential 提升：boost→enhance 掌握：master→grasp 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 拓展句：I hold a firm belief that life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二节： (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bear was not a bear. She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) . She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”. On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk of ice, unable to crawl onto it. Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond. “Mike, keep your arms up — don’t let go!” Martha shouted, her voice cracking with fear. The boy’s lips were turning a frightening shade of blue, and water sloshed over his boots each time the ice tilted. The sisters clung to a low branch, but the thought of re-entering the frigid hole was unbearable. With no adults in sight and daylight fading, the brittle silence of the farm suddenly felt enormous. Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Powerful strokes sliced the surface as spray flew from her coat. When she reached him, she circled once, nudging his armpit with her nose until Mike’s arms slid over her broad shoulders. Instinct took over. Gripping his jacket between her teeth, she turned toward shore and began towing her passenger. Martha and Sara lay flat on the ice, stretching a long branch. The moment Bear’s paws scraped frozen ground, the girls hauled the boy and the dog together, collapsing in a trembling heap of relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小狗Bear为线索展开，讲述了它保护着鸭子、鸡和孩子们。在一个寒冷冬日，三个孩子在农场池塘滑冰时冰面破裂，Martha和Sara上岸后发现Mike被困在冰上。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回头看，他们看到小Mike紧紧抓住一块破碎的冰，无法爬上去。”可知，第一段可描写Martha和Sara的惊慌失措以及Mike的危险处境，同时强调当时的寒冷和无助。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到这一幕，Bear发出一连串的叫声，跳进水里，径直向Mike游去。”可知，第二段可描写Bear如何成功营救Mike，以及Martha和Sara在岸边的协助，最后大家都松了一口气。 2. 续写线索：冰面破裂——Mike被困——Bear营救——成功上岸 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①大喊：shout/yell ②紧紧抓住：cling to/grasp/hold fast to ③到达：reach/get to 情绪类 ①惊慌：panic/fright/terror ②恐惧：fear/terror/alarm 【点睛】【高分句型1】Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond.
