(租一辆自行车骑行30分钟通常要花3美元，额外的用户每分钟还需付费（每分钟0.30美元）)”可知，骑行Lyft自行车35分钟需支付3+0.3×5=4.5美元。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Citi Bike部分中“The bike share company has 27,000 bikes located at l,700 stations, and a user-friendly mobile app that makes it easy to find an available bike and conveniently return it when you’re finished. (这家共享单车公司在1700个站点拥有27000辆自行车，还有一个用户友好的移动应用程序，可以很容易地找到可用的自行车，并在你用完后方便地归还。)”可知，Citi Bike的优势是找车和还车很方便。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Divvy部分中“And Divvy provides riders route ideas and corresponding Divvy stations - plus sightseeing recommendations for visitors. (Divvy为乘客提供路线建议和相应的Divvy站点，并为游客提供观光建议。)”可知，Divvy的特色是它可以为用户提供城市游览建议。故选D。 B Here’s what I remember: The day it happened, I was around 8 years old. It was definitely a Sunday because we never went anywhere on Saturdays. On that day, my dad decided to take me to the Museum of Modern Art to see some paintings. As we were walking in a big room, something on the wall grabbed my eyes. It was a woodland scene, with some colorful rocks in the foreground and tall trees branching into a blue sky. It had no people or anything extraordinary in it. But with a force, it almost pulled me to it. As I moved closer, it tightened its grip and I could barely move. Nothing like that had ever happened to me. Wondering where I’d gone, my dad turned around and found me standing a few feet from the image. When he came up behind me, I asked him, “What is this?” And he, without looking for a label, answered, “This is a Cezanne.” Cezanne is known to produce little worlds that almost lose their balance, but somehow hold themselves together, creating beauty, tension and danger all at once. But I knew nothing about painting or art history then. To this day, I cannot explain why the crazy painting could appeal to an 8-year-old. The fact that it kept happening — keeps happening, all these 60 years since — is one of the mysteries of my life. All I can think is that we are born with a sort of mood in us. Deep down, it keeps looking for someone to share itself with. When we come across the right musician, or, in this case, the right artist, then we are pulled into a conversation we’ve apparently been longing to have. And that’s what happened to me that day. When I left the museum, I felt like I had a personal talk with an artist who had already been dead for 50 years. 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. A search for Cezanne’s painting. B. A decision to stay home that day. C. A “conversation” with a dead artist. D. A trip to the Museum of Modern Art. 5 What did the little boy think of the painting? A. Amazing. B. Stupid. C. Boring. D. Funny. 6. What does the author suggest in paragraph 6? A. Most of us feel lonely in the world. B. Anyone can find comfort in nice artworks. C. Art is a necessity for human beings. D. Human beings are born with a taste for art. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A novel. B. A biography. C. A science report. D. An artwork review. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者8岁时与父亲参观现代艺术博物馆，被一幅塞尚的森林景色画深深吸引的经历。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Here’s what I remember: The day it happened, I was around 8 years old.(我记得：it发生的那天，我大约8岁。)”“As we were walking in a big room, something on the wall grabbed my eyes.(当我们走进一个大房间时，墙上的什么东西吸引了我的目光。)”和最后一段“And that’s what happened to me that day. When I left the museum, I felt like I had a personal talk with an artist who had already been dead for 50 years.(这就是那天发生在我身上的事。当我离开博物馆的时候，我觉得我和一位已经去世50年的艺术家进行了一次私人谈话。)”可知，第1段中划线的“it”指的是与一位已故艺术家的“对话”。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But with a force, it almost pulled me to it. As I moved closer, it tightened its grip and I could barely move.(但有一种力量，它几乎把我拉向它。我越靠近，它就越抓得紧，我几乎动弹不得。)”和第五段“To this day, I cannot explain why the crazy painting could appeal to an 8-year-old. The fact that it kept happening — keeps happening, all these 60 years since — is one of the mysteries of my life.(直到今天，我都无法解释为什么这幅疯狂的画会吸引一个8岁的孩子。60年来，这种事情一直在发生，一直在发生，这是我生命中的一个谜。)”可知，小男孩认为这幅画是不可思议的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“All I can think is that we are born with a sort of mood in us. Deep down, it keeps looking for someone to share itself with. When we come across the right musician, or, in this case, the right artist, then we are pulled into a conversation we’ve apparently been longing to have.(我所能想到的是，我们生来就有一种情绪。在内心深处，它一直在寻找与之分享的人。当我们遇到合适的音乐家，或者在这种情况下，合适的艺术家时，我们就会陷入一场我们显然渴望的对话中。)”可知，作者认为人类天生具有对艺术的感知力，可得出作者在第6段表明人类天生具有艺术鉴赏力。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Here’s what I remember: The day it happened, I was around 8 years old. It was definitely a Sunday because we never went anywhere on Saturdays. On that day, my dad decided to take me to the Museum of Modern Art to see some paintings. As we were walking in a big room, something on the wall grabbed my eyes.(这是我记得的：事情发生的那天，我大约8岁。那绝对是一个星期天，因为我们从来没有在星期六去任何地方。那天，爸爸决定带我去现代艺术博物馆看一些画。当我们走进一个大房间时，墙上的什么东西吸引了我的目光。)”可知，作者主要讲了自己小时候去美术馆的一次经历，因此可能来自于自传，故选B。 C About 62m tonnes of electrical items, ranging from computers to mobile phones, were abandoned globally in 2022. Typically, these electrical wastes are either burnt or treated with chemicals, like strong acids, to recover metals. As these processes produce huge amounts of greenhouse gases and have poisonous by-products that are difficult to clear up, companies are developing a number of cleaner recycling methods. One of the most promising approaches turns to bacteria for help. Bioleaching, as this process is called, is an old idea: more than 2,000 years ago, the water in copper mines was noticed to turn blue. It was not until the 1950s, though, after bacteria were found to be responsible for the phenomenon, that the process was commercialized to recover leftover material in the liquid. When used outdoors, the process, though effective, can take months and is not very efficient. Contained within a modern processing plant, however, bioleaching can be sped up. The trick, according to Bioscope Technologies, an urban-mining company building a bioleaching plant in Cambridge, England, is to keep the bacteria in their preferred conditions that include a carefully controlled acidic environment, a warm temperature below 50℃ and a good supply of oxygen in their breeding tanks. Once these bacteria are mixed with the crushed electrical items in a reactor, they digest the metals within a day or two. Having done their stuff, the bacteria are moved to another breeding tank before being used again. The resulting liquid is then treated in a number of ways to recover the metals. Gold quickly sinks to the bottom with the addition of a little water. An electric current passed through the liquid recovers copper in a manner similar to electroplating. The process is capable of recovering almost all of the gold, silver, copper and palladium from the crushed electrical items, although the exact amount depends on the type of the items being recycled. PCBs from servers and telecoms equipment tend to contain the most precious metals, household appliances less so. The recovered gold and other metals are pure enough to be used again in electronics. 8. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The development of bioleaching. B. Problems with traditional methods. C. Varieties of recycling approaches. D. The accidental discovery of bacteria. 9. Which of the following can help speed up bioleaching? A. Keeping the temperature constant. B. Leaving the breeding tank outdoors. C. Putting more oxygen in the reactor. D. Creating a very acidic environment. 10. During bioleaching, the electroplating-like method is used to recover ______. A. gold B. silver C. palladium D. copper 11. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. PCBs contain the most precious metals. B. The recovered metals can be very pure. C. Different items should be separated first. D. Household appliances should not be recycled. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球存在大量废弃的电子物品，传统处理电子垃圾的方法会产生大量温室气体和难以清理的有毒副产品，因此公司正在开发更清洁的回收方法，其中生物浸出法是一种有前景的方法，介绍了其历史、加速方式以及金属回收等相关内容。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Bioleaching, as this process is called, is an old idea: more than 2,000 years ago, the water in copper mines was noticed to turn blue. It was not until the 1950s, though, after bacteria were found to be responsible for the phenomenon, that the process was commercialized to recover leftover material in the liquid. (生物浸出，这个过程被这样称呼，是一个古老的想法：两千多年前，人们注意到铜矿里的水变成了蓝色。然而，直到 20 世纪 50 年代，在发现细菌是造成这种现象的原因之后，这个过程才被商业化，用于回收液体中的剩余物质。)” 可知，该段主要讲述了生物浸出法从古代被发现到 20 世纪 50 年代实现商业化的发展历程。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Contained within a modern processing plant, however, bioleaching can be sped up. TThe trick, according to Bioscope Technologies, an urban-mining company building a bioleaching plant in Cambridge, England, is to keep the bacteria in their preferred conditions that include a carefully controlled acidic environment, a warm temperature below 50℃ and a good supply of oxygen in their breeding tanks. (然而，在现代化的加工厂中，生物浸出可以加快速度。据在英国剑桥建造生物浸出工厂的城市矿业公司 Bioscope Technologies 称，诀窍是将细菌保持在它们适宜的条件下，包括精心控制的酸性环境、低于 50℃的温暖温度以及它们的繁殖罐中有充足的氧气供应。)”可知，在反应器中放入更多氧气有助于加速生物浸出。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段 “An electric current passed through the liquid recovers copper in a manner similar to electroplating. (通过液体的电流以类似于电镀的方式回收铜。)” 可知，在生物浸出过程中，类似电镀的方法用于回收铜。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段 “The recovered gold and other metals are pure enough to be used again in electronics. (回收的金和其他金属纯度足够高，可以再次用于电子设备中。)” 可知，回收的金属可以非常纯。故选B。 D In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many would regard as the good life: he has a family; he is healthy and has a good job; he has time to travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that something is missing. What makes Heid’s problem somewhat odd is that it does not seem to relate to anything specific. If he had lost his job, had no time for himself, or was struggling in his marriage, the feeling would be understandable. He ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences. In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls it the “illusion of crop rotation”, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences. It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to, but that we have been given a life to live in the first place, the taste of possibility that comes with being alive. This mood is not due to doubts like “Do I have enough hobbies?” or “Have I achieved my goal?” It is related to the more fundamental questions like “What does it mean to be human?” “What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind of life is possible for me?” This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of agony about who we are and how we should go on. Recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good. 12. Which of the following can best describe Markham Heid’s crisis? A. It is caused by uncertainties in life. B. It is a powerful but objectless mood. C. It has many different and odd names. D. It occurs typically to middle-aged men. 13. What does Soren Kierkegaard most likely suggest Markham Heid do? A. Talk to old friends. B. Do exercise every day. C. Study philosophy. D. Go travelling frequently. 14. What does the author imply about the unusual feeling? A. It is a natural part of being human. B. It is closely related to some cultures. C. It is determined by our personalities. D. It is mainly driven by our desire for fun. 15. Which is closest in meaning to “agony” in the last paragraph? A. Achievement. B. Relief. C. Pain. D. Direction. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文结合了个人经历（Markham Heid的生活危机）和哲学观点（如Soren Kierkegaard的理论）来探讨一种普遍存在的、无具体对象的空虚感或存在焦虑。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. (在哲学史上，人们曾多次试图理解这种强烈但无对象的感觉)”可知，Markham Heid的危机是一种强大而无目的的感觉。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls it the ‘illusion of crop rotation’, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. (丹麦哲学家Soren Kierkegaard称之为“轮作幻觉”，即经常改变环境可以让我们摆脱这种情绪)”可知，Soren Kierkegaard可能会建议Markham Heid经常旅行来改变环境。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“This mood is related to the more fundamental questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ ‘What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?’ and ‘What kind of life is possible for me?’ This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. (这种情绪与更根本的问题有关，比如“作为人类意味着什么？”“我应该如何对待被赋予的生命？”以及“对我来说，什么样的生活是可能的？”这就是为什么这种情绪可能会在我们的生活中频繁出现)”可知，作者认为这种不寻常的感觉是人类天性的一部分。故选A。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of agony about who we are and how we should go on. (这些问题永远没有最终答案，它们总是让我们对自己是谁以及应该如何继续生活感到非常agony。)”以及根据 “Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received(无聊、焦虑、抑郁和绝望是对这种情绪的一些描述)”可知，此处描述的是这些问题给人带来的负面感受，所以它们总是让我们对自己是谁以及应该如何继续生活感到非常痛苦。与C选项“Pain”同义。故选C。 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。 From quick fixes to new ways of designing our homes, we’re examining methods to keep comfortable on a warming planet. Prevent heat from gathering inside. Instead of cooling the hot air in our house, try to prevent heat from gathering in the first place, ___16___ . Open them back up at night to allow warm inside air to escape and cooler nighttime air to enter. Something else we can do to cool the house? Cook outside in the summer. ___17___ . So, if we’re cooking something that produces a lot of heat, get a little barbecue and do it outside. ___18___ . Dark rooftops are responsible for absorbing large amounts of solar energy and warming the house. So replace them with the so-called green roofs. But the downside of green roofs is their weight and they often need maintenance and upkeep. ___19___ . The simplest way to a cool roof is to paint it white. White color reflects sunlight off our house. Rethink how we build. It may be helpful if we can have a look at the ways some cultures in traditionally hot environments have adapted to cool their buildings. For example, wind towers are often used in the Middle East to get cool air into a building while pushing out warm air. In Africa, buildings are usually constructed with rooms looking into a central courtyard. ___20___ . A. Design better roofs B Cooking is a huge source of heat C. Or cook as few dishes as possible D. A better alternative to a green roof is a cool roof E. Close the windows and lower the blinds in the daytime F. So they can protect the interior of the house from the heat outside G. The design of many of our buildings cannot cool themselves efficiently 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在全球变暖的情况下，我们可以通过一些方法来让我们的家保持舒适，如阻止热量聚集、在户外做饭、设计更好的屋顶以及重新思考房屋建造方式等。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Open them back up at night to allow warm inside air to escape and cooler nighttime air to enter(晚上再打开它们，让屋内温暖的空气逸出，让凉爽的夜间空气进入)” 可知，这里是在说窗户的开关时间。选项E“白天关闭窗户并拉下百叶窗” 与后文形成对比，白天关窗，晚上开窗，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Cook outside in the summer (夏天在室外做饭)” 以及空后的 “So, if we’re cooking something that produces a lot of heat, get a little barbecue and do it outside(所以，如果我们正在做会产生大量热量的食物，那就弄个小烧烤架在室外做)” 可知，此处是在解释为什么要在室外做饭。选项B“烹饪是热量的巨大来源” 符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Dark rooftops are responsible for absorbing large amounts of solar energy and warming the house. So replace them with the so-called green roofs(深色的屋顶会吸收大量的太阳能并使房子变暖。所以用所谓的绿色屋顶来取代它们)” 可知，这一段主要在讲屋顶的设计。选项 A“设计更好的屋顶” 能够概括这一段的主旨。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The simplest way to a cool roof is to paint it white. White color reflects sunlight off our house(打造凉爽屋顶的最简单方法是把它涂成白色。白色可以将阳光从我们的房子上反射出去)” 可知，这里在说凉爽屋顶的做法。选项D“绿色屋顶的一个更好的替代方案是凉爽的屋顶” 引出了关于凉爽屋顶的内容，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据空前的 “In Africa, buildings are usually constructed with rooms looking into a central courtyard(在非洲，建筑物通常建造得房间朝向中央庭院)” 可知，这里在说非洲建筑的设计特点。由此推知，空处可能陈述这种设计的好处。选项F“这样它们就可以保护房子内部免受外面的热量侵袭” 解释了这种设计的作用，符合语境。故选F。 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。 When I volunteered to teach deaf kids to ski in Winter Park, Colorado, I came to know Sarah, who was also a volunteer.

(运用了动名词作宾语) 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。 It was late December several years ago, and I was sitting alone in my office, tired out after a long day of work. I scrolled (滚动) aimlessly through the screen of my phone. That was when I came across a news story that caught my attention. It was about two children in Atlanta, Georgia, who had one simple wish for Christmas: a kidney (肾). But it was not for themselves — for their beloved grandmother, Beverly. Unfortunately, no one in the family was a match, so with the help of their mother, they had set up a page online titled “A Kidney for Gran”, hoping to find a stranger who would help. I was struck by these kids’ selfless nature, but I was also deeply moved by their decision to reach out to a world full of strangers. I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes. What if I needed a kidney, and no one I knew was a match? How desperate would I feel? And who, I wondered, would be willing to go through the process of donating a kidney to a complete stranger? That kind of person turned out to be me. I was an average 48-year-old woman from California, a mother of four. I had always believed in doing for others what I would hope they would do for me. When I saw that I shared a blood type with Beverly, something inside me clicked. A quiet voice in my head said, “You know of the need, and you can meet it. You’ll be fine.” That night, I picked up my phone and called the Piedmont Transplant Center in Atlanta. I left my contact information, and within a week, I heard from a transplant coordinator (协调员). She walked me through the initial steps, and after a thorough review of my medical history, I learned that I was a suitable candidate. Thus began a long journey of testing and evaluations that would take months. 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。 Throughout the process, I heard a lot of opinions from friends and family. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match finally came, and after further testing, everything was set. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Throughout the process, I heard a lot of opinions from friends and family. Most were supportive, some not, but only out of fear for my safety — what if something went wrong? What if my own health suffered? Through it all, I never felt like I needed to turn back. As simple as it sounds, it was the right thing to do. And I was never afraid. Every test I passed felt like a small victory, not just for me but for Beverly and her family, who were waiting with bated breath for news of a match. The match finally came, and after further testing, everything was set. As I lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew I was doing something bigger than myself. The surgery went smoothly, and Beverly’s body accepted the kidney as though it had always been hers. A few weeks later, I had the chance to meet her and her grandchildren. The gratitude in their eyes and the tears streaming down their faces made every sacrifice worthwhile. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了数年前12月末，疲惫的作者在手机上看到亚特兰大两名孩子为祖母贝弗利征集肾源的新闻，被其无私打动。身为48岁加州母亲的作者与贝弗利血型匹配，秉持助人理念主动联系捐赠，历经数月检测评估，成功完成手术。会面时对方的感激，让作者觉得所有付出都值得。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在整个过程中，我听到了来自朋友和家人的诸多意见”可知，第一段可描写作者秉持助人理念主动联系捐赠。 ②由第二段首句内容“配型终于开始了，经过进一步的测试，一切准备就绪”可知，第二段可描写历经数月检测评估，成功完成手术。会面时对方的感激，让作者觉得所有牺牲都值得。 2.续写线索：听取意见——联系捐赠——测试——完成手术——对方感激——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进行：go/conduct ②涌上：wash over/flood over ③遇见：meet/encounter 情绪类 ①害怕的：afraid/scared ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses, I felt a sense of peace wash over me.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Every test I passed felt like a small victory, not just for me but for Beverly and her family, who were waiting with bated breath for news of a match.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 拉萨市第二高级中学2026届高三第二次月考 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It was definitely a Sunday because we never went anywhere on Saturdays. On that day, my dad decided to take me to the Museum of Modern Art to see some paintings. As we were walking in a big room, something on the wall grabbed my eyes. It was a woodland scene, with some colorful rocks in the foreground and tall trees branching into a blue sky. It had no people or anything extraordinary in it. But with a force, it almost pulled me to it. As I moved closer, it tightened its grip and I could barely move. Nothing like that had ever happened to me. Wondering where I’d gone, my dad turned around and found me standing a few feet from the image. When he came up behind me, I asked him, “What is this?” And he, without looking for a label, answered, “This is a Cezanne.” Cezanne is known to produce little worlds that almost lose their balance, but somehow hold themselves together, creating beauty, tension and danger all at once. But I knew nothing about painting or art history then. To this day, I cannot explain why the crazy painting could appeal to an 8-year-old. The fact that it kept happening — keeps happening, all these 60 years since — is one of the mysteries of my life. All I can think is that we are born with a sort of mood in us. Deep down, it keeps looking for someone to share itself with. When we come across the right musician, or, in this case, the right artist, then we are pulled into a conversation we’ve apparently been longing to have. And that’s what happened to me that day. When I left the museum, I felt like I had a personal talk with an artist who had already been dead for 50 years. 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. A search for Cezanne’s painting. B. A decision to stay home that day. C. A “conversation” with a dead artist. D. A trip to the Museum of Modern Art. 5. What did the little boy think of the painting? A. Amazing. B. Stupid. C. Boring. D. Funny. 6. What does the author suggest in paragraph 6? A. Most of us feel lonely in the world. B. Anyone can find comfort in nice artworks. C. Art is a necessity for human beings. D. Human beings are born with a taste for art. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A novel. B. A biography. C. A science report. D. An artwork review. C About 62m tonnes of electrical items, ranging from computers to mobile phones, were abandoned globally in 2022. Typically, these electrical wastes are either burnt or treated with chemicals, like strong acids, to recover metals. As these processes produce huge amounts of greenhouse gases and have poisonous by-products that are difficult to clear up, companies are developing a number of cleaner recycling methods. One of the most promising approaches turns to bacteria for help. Bioleaching, as this process is called, is an old idea: more than 2,000 years ago, the water in copper mines was noticed to turn blue. It was not until the 1950s, though, after bacteria were found to be responsible for the phenomenon, that the process was commercialized to recover leftover material in the liquid. When used outdoors, the process, though effective, can take months and is not very efficient. Contained within a modern processing plant, however, bioleaching can be sped up. The trick, according to Bioscope Technologies, an urban-mining company building a bioleaching plant in Cambridge, England, is to keep the bacteria in their preferred conditions that include a carefully controlled acidic environment, a warm temperature below 50℃ and a good supply of oxygen in their breeding tanks. Once these bacteria are mixed with the crushed electrical items in a reactor, they digest the metals within a day or two. Having done their stuff, the bacteria are moved to another breeding tank before being used again. The resulting liquid is then treated in a number of ways to recover the metals. Gold quickly sinks to the bottom with the addition of a little water. An electric current passed through the liquid recovers copper in a manner similar to electroplating. The process is capable of recovering almost all of the gold, silver, copper and palladium from the crushed electrical items, although the exact amount depends on the type of the items being recycled. PCBs from servers and telecoms equipment tend to contain the most precious metals, household appliances less so. The recovered gold and other metals are pure enough to be used again in electronics. 8. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The development of bioleaching. B. Problems with traditional methods. C. Varieties of recycling approaches. D. The accidental discovery of bacteria. 9. Which of the following can help speed up bioleaching? A. Keeping the temperature constant. B. Leaving the breeding tank outdoors. C. Putting more oxygen in the reactor. D. Creating a very acidic environment. 10. During bioleaching, the electroplating-like method is used to recover ______. A. gold B. silver C. palladium D. copper 11. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. PCBs contain the most precious metals. B. The recovered metals can be very pure. C. Different items should be separated first. D. Household appliances should not be recycled. D In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many would regard as the good life: he has a family; he is healthy and has a good job; he has time to travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that something is missing. What makes Heid’s problem somewhat odd is that it does not seem to relate to anything specific. If he had lost his job, had no time for himself, or was struggling in his marriage, the feeling would be understandable. He ends up attributing his crisis to the lack of new experiences. In the history of philosophy, there have been many attempts to understand such a powerful but objectless feeling. Boredom, anxiety, depression and despair are some of the descriptions this mood has received. The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard calls it the “illusion of crop rotation”, the idea that changing the environment frequently can save us from this mood. But what really drives this mood is not the need for new experiences. It is not even the particulars of our individual lives or the cultures we belong to, but that we have been given a life to live in the first place, the taste of possibility that comes with being alive. This mood is not due to doubts like “Do I have enough hobbies?” or “Have I achieved my goal?” It is related to the more fundamental questions like “What does it mean to be human?” “What am I supposed to do with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind of life is possible for me?” This is why this mood is likely to appear frequently in our life. These questions never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense of agony about who we are and how we should go on. Recognizing that these doubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allow us to know what may be missing, even when everything is good. 12. Which of the following can best describe Markham Heid’s crisis? A. It is caused by uncertainties in life. B. It is a powerful but objectless mood. C. It has many different and odd names. D. It occurs typically to middle-aged men. 13. What does Soren Kierkegaard most likely suggest Markham Heid do? A. Talk to old friends. B. Do exercise every day. C. Study philosophy. D. Go travelling frequently. 14. What does the author imply about the unusual feeling? A. It is a natural part of being human. B. It is closely related to some cultures. C. It is determined by our personalities. D. It is mainly driven by our desire for fun. 15. Which is closest in meaning to “agony” in the last paragraph? A. Achievement. B. Relief. C. Pain. D. Direction. 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。 From quick fixes to new ways of designing our homes, we’re examining methods to keep comfortable on a warming planet.

I scrolled (滚动) aimlessly through the screen of my phone. That was when I came across a news story that caught my attention. It was about two children in Atlanta, Georgia, who had one simple wish for Christmas: a kidney (肾). But it was not for themselves — for their beloved grandmother, Beverly. Unfortunately, no one in the family was a match, so with the help of their mother, they had set up a page online titled “A Kidney for Gran”, hoping to find a stranger who would help. I was struck by these kids’ selfless nature, but I was also deeply moved by their decision to reach out to a world full of strangers. I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes. What if I needed a kidney, and no one I knew was a match? How desperate would I feel? And who, I wondered, would be willing to go through the process of donating a kidney to a complete stranger? That kind of person turned out to be me. I was an average 48-year-old woman from California, a mother of four. I had always believed in doing for others what I would hope they would do for me. When I saw that I shared a blood type with Beverly, something inside me clicked. A quiet voice in my head said, “You know of the need, and you can meet it. You’ll be fine.” That night, I picked up my phone and called the Piedmont Transplant Center in Atlanta. I left my contact information, and within a week, I heard from a transplant coordinator (协调员). She walked me through the initial steps, and after a thorough review of my medical history, I learned that I was a suitable candidate. Thus began a long journey of testing and evaluations that would take months. 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。 Throughout the process, I heard a lot of opinions from friends and family. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match finally came, and after further testing, everything was set. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
