Edwardo marinda shuts the door of the study, leaving two singing robots to their own devices. Here's programmed them to generate random notes.

Maranda, a composer and computer scientists at the university of playmates in the U. K. Hopes that such CoOperation between singing robots will one day help them to compose music that no human would ever come up with. The robots developed their own musical culture. There are no preprogram musical rules. Maranda equipped each robot with software that imitates the human voice and gives each a micron that acts as its ears and a camera for its eyes. One robot starts by generating about six notes. When the second robot hears this, IT responds with its own strings of sounds. The first robot then compares the two strings of notes. If he finds them to be similar, IT nods. The second robot detects this and memorizes the settings that created the notes. If the noises are the summer, the first robot shakes his head, causing its partner to forget those notes. Since only those sounds that both robots know about are recorded gradually, their memories fill up with similar sounds. Mandana compares this to the emergence of a very simplistic shared culture.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France 21 (follow) rules that demand secondary fermentation（发酵）of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation. Some use “Champagne” as a general term for sparkling wine, but it is illegal to officially label any product Champagne 22 it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the title. In France the first sparkling Champagne was created accidentally. Contrary to legend and popular belief, Dom Pérignon did not invent sparkling wine. The oldest 23 (record) sparkling wine is Blanquette de Limoux, 24 was apparently invented by Benedictine Monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in 1531. Over a century later, the English scientist and physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar 25 a finished wine to create a second fermentation. The pressure in the Champagne bottle led it to be called “the devil's wine,” as bottles  exploded or corks popped. In 1844 Adolphe Jaquesson invented the muse-let 26 (prevent) the corks from blowing out. Even when it was deliberately produced as a sparkling wine, Champagne was for a very long time made by the méthode rurale, where the wine was bottled before the initial fermentation had finished. Champagne did not use the méthode champenoise 27 the 19th century, about 200 years after Merret documented the process. Méthode champenoise is the traditional method by which Champagne is produced. After primary fermentation and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second fermentation is caused by adding several grams of yeast and rock sugar to the bottle --- although each brand has 28 own secret recipe. Usually a minimum of 1.5 years is required to completely develop the full flavor. The 19th century 29 (see) a fast growth in Champagne production, going from a regional production of 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 to 20 million bottles in 1850. In 2007, Champagne sales hit 30 all-time record of 338.7 million bottles. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

There is no doubt that dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly 31 —and that is a big “if”—we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at three common dreams and what they potentially symbolize. Dream 1: I can see their laughing faces laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were, they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative 32 . On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday 33 . It may also symbolize a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is 34 of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent feelings of inferiority, which the dreamer attempts to get rid of by literally and physically 35 themselves above others. Dream 2: I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. It doesn’t matter how fast I go. I still can’t escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and 36 , it can suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By 37 hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stop moving. This makes the fear even more terrifying. One possible explanation is that the person is under pressure in their everyday life. Dream 3: I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped. Trapped in my own bed. This symbol is associated with fear and embarrassment: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot; 38 in’ a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent 39 for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something that you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a(n) 40 fear of losing a job and a livelihood. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable 41 . Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of 42 . The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea power 43 the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks 44 did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect- or perhaps because of it-English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare 45 . So how can a reader today 46 that gap between then and now? There are two critical areas to 47 : word usage and grammar. Once you understand there fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more 48 . First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. 49 , when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle)? Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good 50 with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used within a different meaning in Shakespeare’s works. Grammar is where the 51 of Shakespeare English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently 52 , such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don’t always 53 . Even sentence construction can be 54 , with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. 55 we would say, “John caught the ball”, Shakespeare might treat the same statement with the same meaning as “John the ball caught” or “The ball John caught.” 41．A．oppression B．accusation C．direction D．appreciation 42．A．specifics B．alternations C．improvements D．incidents 43．A．exposed B．led C．contacted D．linked 44．A．roughly B．arguably C．simply D．essentially 45．A．took pride B．kept track C．took advantage D．gave way 46．A．widen B．avoid C．embrace D．bridge 47．A．address B．deal C．learn D．undertake 48．A．unchanged B．easy C．accessible D．qualified 49．A．In other words B．For example C．Above all D．By contrast 50．A．edition B．medium C．recollection D．download 51．A．confusion B．mixture C．achievement D．flexibility 52．A．switched B．substituted C．excluded D．commanded 53．A．connect B．guarantee C．agree D．neglect 54．A．pitiful B．independent C．unique D．trick 55．A．Before B．While C．Providing D．Since Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In my hometown of Idaho Falls, beneath the elevated train tracks that paralleled West Yellowstone Highway, there was a hidden gem that aroused my curiosity. A small opening in the hill, easily missed if one wasn’t attentive, attracted me with its half-moon shape and stone-framed edges. Although it looked pointless, brilliant light poured through, creating a tapestry of thin trees covered in delicate, light green leaves — a symbol of freshness and new beginnings — and illuminating the space. That image remains vivid in my mind, evoking a fanciful notion of a gateway to a secret world where wood nymphs and fairies have fun. I imagined an embrace of beautiful light, a peaceful place where I would feel secure and understood. As a teenager, armed with a driver’s license, I fantasized about driving to that spot and finally stepping through the opening. However, I knew deep down that the moment I ventured closer, the enchantment (魔法) would disappear like morning mist. Even in adulthood, I had a knack for summoning enchantment. I could marvel at drifting clouds, sensing their magical dance. Old forests showed an otherworldly wisdom, and seemingly coincidental events held a mystical fascination. But the pandemic, like a thief in the night, robbed me of that gift. Confined to our homes, the cries of our children merged with our own as we wrestled with teaching them reading and math. Weeks stretched into months, and months into years, eroding my ability to find enchantment in the boring life, leaving only the residue of a COVID-infected existence. So when I picked up Katherine May’s newest book and read this bit, it felt really familiar: “I have lost some fundamental part of my knowing, some basic human feeling. Without it, the world feels like tap water left overnight, flat and chemical, short of life. I am like lightning seeking earth. Uneasy. I need a better way to walk through this life. I want to be enchanted again.” May has written an entire book about this, appropriately titled Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age. I dog-eared almost every page in this book, as they mirrored my own experiences. It was a confirmation I desperately needed- the realization that I wasn’t alone in my struggle. May’s exploration of curiosity, imagination, and the quest for meaning in our lives became a profound reminder of the path I yearned to rediscover. Therefore, I can’t wait to recommend this book to you. You won’t be disappointed; you have my word. 56．The first three paragraphs talk about ________. A．how the author discovered a hidden opening in her hometown B．what role a secret world plays in kids fascinated with fairy tales C．how the author holds onto a sense of wonder as a curious child D．why there is an inevitable loss of enchantment upon inspection 57．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the passage? A．draining up B．calling up C．stepping up D．filling up 58．What can you infer from the passage? A．The author identifies with the content in May’s newest book. B．The author enjoys reading books in the company of her dog. C．The pandemic has taken away the author’s ability to read. D．May’s newest book serves as a reminder of the boring past. 59．The purpose of this passage is to ________. A．compare ways to find enchantment in life B．recommend May’s newest book to readers C．explain why a sense of wonder is important D．introduce the author’s fascinating childhood (B) With the release of highly anticipated films such as Tolkien, Aladdin and Rocketman, and events like RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Canalway Cavalcade, May is set to be an exciting month for Londoners.

While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Your furry companion obtains comfort and security from enclosed spaces. B. Others prefer shoes, bowls, shopping bags, coffee mugs, empty egg cartons, and other small, enclosed spaces. C. She found a significant difference in stress levels between cats that had the boxes and those that didn’t. D. A box, in this sense, can often represent a safe zone, a place where sources of anxiety, hostility (恶意), and unwanted attention simply disappear. E. So rather than work things out, cats tend to simply run away from their problems or avoid them altogether. F. Thankfully, behavioral biologists and veterinarians have come up with a few interesting explanations. Why Do Cats Love Boxes So Much? There is an object that’s pretty much guaranteed to arouse your cat’s interest. That object, as the Internet has so thoroughly documented, is a box. Any box, really. Like many other really strange things cats do, science hasn’t fully cracked this particular feline (猫科的) mystery. ____67____ In fact, when you look at all the evidence together, it could be that your cat may not just like boxes, he may need them. The box-and-whisker plot Understanding the feline mind is extremely difficult. Still, there’s a sizable amount of behavioral research on cats who are, well, used for other kinds of research. These studies have been taking place for more than 50 years and they make one thing quite clear: ____68____ This is likely true for a number of reasons, but for cats in stressful situations, a box or some other type of separate enclosure can have a strong impact on both their behavior and physiology. Ethologist Claudia Vinke of Utrecht University in the Netherlands is one of the latest researchers to study stress levels in shelter cats. Working with domestic cats in a Dutch animal shelter, Vinke provided hiding boxes for a group of newly arrived cats while keeping another group from them entirely. ____69____ In effect, the cats with boxes got used to their new surroundings faster, were far less stressed early on, and were more interested in interacting with humans. The ‘If it fits, I sits’ principle Some feline observers will note that in addition to boxes, many cats seem to pick other odd places to relax. Some curl up in a bathroom sink. ____70____ This brings us to the other reason why your cat may like particularly small boxes: It’s really cold out. So there you have it: Boxes are insulating, stress-relieving, comfort zones—places where cats can hide, relax, sleep, and occasionally launch a surprise attack against the huge, unpredictable apes they live with. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Combating Cyberbullying: A Guide for Adults to Protect and Support Children If you notice warning signs that a child may be involved in cyberbullying, take steps to investigate that child’s digital behavior. Adults should take action to handle cyberbullying: support the bullied child, address the bullying behavior of a participant, and show children that cyberbullying is taken seriously. Since cyberbullying happens online, responding to it requires different approaches. If you think that a child is involved in cyberbullying, there are several things you can do. The first thing parents can do is to recognize if there have been dramatic changes in mood or behavior. Try primarily to determine if these changes happen around a child’s use of digital devices. For example, if a child who was previously enthusiastic about using social media or playing online games suddenly becomes withdrawn or reluctant to engage with these activities, it could be a sign that they are experiencing cyberbullying. If you’ve confirmed that your child has been bullied, I advise you to ask questions to learn what is happening, how it started, and who is involved. Remember to keep a record of what your kid says, and take screenshots of harmful posts or content if possible. Most laws and policies note that bullying is a repeated behavior, so records help to document it. Most social media platforms and schools have clear policies and reporting processes. If a classmate is cyberbullying, report it to the school. You can also use social media platforms to report offensive content and have it removed. If a child has received physical threats, or if a potential crime or illegal behavior is occurring, report it to the police. Instant report can be crucial in preventing further harm and ensuring that the situation is addressed promptly and effectively. By acting quickly, you can help protect the victim from additional distress and potentially stop the bullying from escalating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．教师致力于培养孩子的创新能力, 这是教书育人的重要使命之一。(which) 73．研究人员想弄清楚经常与动物接触是否能帮助人们有效减轻压力。(exposure) 74．医疗人员敦促游客们时刻戴好口罩。(urge) 75．第十九届杭州亚运会取得了圆满成功，杭州独特的城市文化以及市民们的热情付出给运动员们留下了深刻的印象。(impress) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是启明中学高二学生王磊，刚刚收到你的好朋友李华的邮件。信中提到他和家人计划在即将到来的公共假期来上海旅游，但他对于自驾游还是使用公共交通犹豫不决，现征求你的建议。请你回复邮件，内容需包括： 1.你的建议；2.你建议的理由。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit 3 ·基础卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：140分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Listening Comprehension （第1-10题, 每题1分；第11-20题，每题1.5分；共25分） Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

When you hear a question, you will have seven seconds to decide which choice would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Eight years ago, Kiko Matthews was given a life-changing diagnosis when she found out she had Cushing's syndrome, which is a disease that can have a serious impact on the sufferer’ s life. At times, Matthews was so weak she’ d struggle to climb a flight of stairs.She was unwilling to let the illness change her life, and became determined that no challenge would be too big for her. So it was that on 22 March, 2018, Matthews arrived at the sunny island of Barbados, after rowing across the Atlantic Ocean on her own in record-breaking time. Matthews wasn't just aiming to row across the Atlantic--a distance of2,800 miles. She wanted to beat the fastest time for a woman. “You might as well have something to aim for,” she said. Matthews’ journey was also for a good cause—— she wanted to raise funds for King’s College Hospital, in London, where she was treated for her illness. She rowed the distance in 49 days, eight hours and 13 minutes, breaking the previous record of 56 days. In doing so, she raised more than £80,000 for the hospital. These accomplishments are amazing, but Matthews remains modest. “Eight months ago, I was lying in hospital having my brain operated on,” she said when she made land,“and now I am here, having rowed the Atlantic. I guess I am a bit proud.” (Now listen again.) Questions 11. What can be learned about Kiko Matthews's journey across the Atlantic? 12. Which of the following is an aim of Matthew's journey? 13. Which of the following words can best describe Matthews according to the passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Eduardo Miranda shuts the door of his study, leaving two“singing” robots to their own devices. He has programmed them to generate random notes, and two weeks later, he returns to find that the robots continue to make soft, comforting sounds in their human-like tones, but they have now“evolved” to sing 20 sounds together. Miranda, a composer and computer scientist at the University of Plymouth in the UK,hopes that such cooperation between singing robots will one day help him to compose music that no human would ever come up with. “The robots develop their own musical culture. There are no pre-programmed musical rules.” Miranda equips each robot with software that imitates the human voice, and gives each a microphone that acts as its ears and a camera for its eyes. One robot starts by generating about six notes. When the second robot hears this, it responds with its own strings of sounds. The first robot then compares the two strings of notes. If it finds them to be similar, it nods. The second robot detects this and“memorises” the settings that created the notes. If the noises are dissimilar, the first robot shakes its head, causing its partner to“forget” those notes. Since only those sounds that both robots know about are recorded, gradually their memories fill up with similar sounds. Miranda compares this to the emergence of a very simplistic, shared culture. (Now listen again.) Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. Why does Eduardo Miranda equip each robot with a microphone? 16. What can be learned about Eduardo Miranda's experiment from the passage? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. Now you have 40 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. W: Hello, Bahar. Welcome to the careers office. Good to see you. M: Hello. W: Now, I saw from your file that you're looking for advice on what to do when you graduate. You're considering university, aren't you? M: Yes, that's right, but I'm not really sure which course to apply for. W: Well, what are you considering? M: I like Maths and Physics, and I'm doing well in those classes. And I'm considering studying Engineering. W: Ah, Engineering. That's a big field. What sort of Engineering are you interested in?Electrical? Civil? Nuclear? M: I'm not sure. I've always been interested in the way things work, you know, cars and other machines. So, I'd like to study something technical. Actually, I'm quite interested in space flight. W: Maybe you should consider Mechanical Engineering then. As a start, anyway. That's a.good, basic Engineering degree—— it covers the core subjects. Mechanical engineers often go on to become specialists in lots of different jobs— Aerospace Engineering is just one of them. M: Right, but I'm not sure if that would be for me. An Engineering degree would be very academic. I wonder if I should try something more vocational. Maybe a diploma course? I actually quite like manual work. I'd rather make something than write about it! W: How about trying to find out more about Engineering courses, then? I could give you the names of some universities and colleges that teach Engineering. You could visit them and discuss their courses in detail. M: That's a good idea. I think I could do that. And I think I'd really enjoy the practical side of Engineering. You know, designing and making things. Manufacturing Engineering could be really interesting. W: You might want to try contacting a manufacturing Engineering firm here in the city, then. In fact, I could help you with that. We could probably set up a visit for you. M: That would be fantastic. Thank you. (Now listen again.) Questions 17. Who is most probably the woman? 18. Why does the woman suggest the man consider Mechanical Engineering? 19. What does the man think of an Engineering degree? 20. What is the woman going to do? II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France 21 (follow) rules that demand secondary fermentation（发酵）of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation. Some use “Champagne” as a general term for sparkling wine, but it is illegal to officially label any product Champagne 22 it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the title. In France the first sparkling Champagne was created accidentally. Contrary to legend and popular belief, Dom Pérignon did not invent sparkling wine. The oldest 23 (record) sparkling wine is Blanquette de Limoux, 24 was apparently invented by Benedictine Monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in 1531. Over a century later, the English scientist and physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar 25 a finished wine to create a second fermentation. The pressure in the Champagne bottle led it to be called “the devil's wine,” as bottles  exploded or corks popped. In 1844 Adolphe Jaquesson invented the muse-let 26 (prevent) the corks from blowing out. Even when it was deliberately produced as a sparkling wine, Champagne was for a very long time made by the méthode rurale, where the wine was bottled before the initial fermentation had finished. Champagne did not use the méthode champenoise 27 the 19th century, about 200 years after Merret documented the process. Méthode champenoise is the traditional method by which Champagne is produced. After primary fermentation and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second fermentation is caused by adding several grams of yeast and rock sugar to the bottle --- although each brand has 28 own secret recipe. Usually a minimum of 1.5 years is required to completely develop the full flavor. The 19th century 29 (see) a fast growth in Champagne production, going from a regional production of 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 to 20 million bottles in 1850. In 2007, Champagne sales hit 30 all-time record of 338.7 million bottles. 【答案】 21．following 22．unless 23．recorded 24．which 25．to 26．to prevent 27．until 28．its 29．saw 30．an 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了香槟酒的生产以及历史发展过程。 21．考查非谓语动词。句意：香槟是一种起泡酒，由法国香槟地区种植的葡萄酿造而成，葡萄酒在瓶中需要进行二次发酵以产生碳酸。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰sparkling wine，sparkling wine和动词follow为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填following。 22．考查连词。句意：有些人用“香槟”作为起泡酒的总称，但正式给任何产品贴上香槟的标签都是非法的，除非它既来自香槟地区，又根据标题的规定生产。根据句意可知，此处为连词unless“除非”连接上下句，满足句意逻辑要求。故填unless。 23．考查形容词。句意：有记载的最古老的起泡酒是Blanquette de Limoux，它显然是由圣伊莱尔修道院的本笃会僧侣于1531年发明的。由空后sparkling wine为名词可知，此处为形容词recorded“记录的，有记载的”作定语修饰该名词，满足句意要求。故填recorded。 24．考查定语从句。句意：有记载的最古老的起泡酒是Blanquette de Limoux，它显然是由圣伊莱尔修道院的本笃会僧侣于1531年发明的。分析句子可，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词Blanquette de Limoux在从句中作主语成分。故填which。 25．考查介词。句意：一个多世纪后，英国科学家兼医生克里斯托弗·梅雷特(Christopher Merret)记录了在成品葡萄酒中添加糖以进行第二次发酵的过程。根据句意以及空前addition可知，此处为介词to，构成addition to“添加到”，满足句意要求。故填to。 26．考查动词不定式。句意：1844年，阿道夫·杰克松发明了一种防止软木塞被吹出的瓶塞。根据句意可知，此处为动词不定式to do表示“为了……”作目的状语，满足句意要求。故填to prevent。 27．考查连词。句意：直到19世纪，在Merret记录了这一过程大约200年后，香槟公司才开始使用msamuthode champenoise。根据句意可知，此处为连词not… until“直到……才……”，满足句意要求。故填until。 28．考查代词。句意：第二次发酵是在瓶中加入几克酵母和冰糖，尽管每个品牌都有自己的秘方。由空后own secret recipe为名词短语可知，此处为形容词性物主代词。故填its。 29．考查动词时态。句意：19世纪见证了香槟生产的快速增长，从1800年每年30万瓶的地区产量增长到1850年的2000万瓶。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，根据上下文时态以及该句中的The 19th century可知，此处应为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时。故填saw。 30．考查冠词。句意：2007年，香槟销量创下了3.387亿瓶的历史纪录。根据句意以及空后record为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一个历史记录”为泛指概念，结合all为首音节元音因素，所以为不定冠词an的填入。故填an。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

There is no doubt that dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly 31 —and that is a big “if”—we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at three common dreams and what they potentially symbolize. Dream 1: I can see their laughing faces laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were, they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative 32 . On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday 33 . It may also symbolize a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is 34 of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent feelings of inferiority, which the dreamer attempts to get rid of by literally and physically 35 themselves above others. Dream 2: I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. It doesn’t matter how fast I go. I still can’t escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and 36 , it can suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By 37 hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stop moving. This makes the fear even more terrifying. One possible explanation is that the person is under pressure in their everyday life. Dream 3: I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped. Trapped in my own bed. This symbol is associated with fear and embarrassment: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot; 38 in’ a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent 39 for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something that you are normally very good at, such as your job.

B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable 41 . Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of 42 . The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea power 43 the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks 44 did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect- or perhaps because of it-English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare 45 . So how can a reader today 46 that gap between then and now? There are two critical areas to 47 : word usage and grammar. Once you understand there fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more 48 . First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. 49 , when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle)? Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good 50 with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used within a different meaning in Shakespeare’s works. Grammar is where the 51 of Shakespeare English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently 52 , such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don’t always 53 . Even sentence construction can be 54 , with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. 55 we would say, “John caught the ball”, Shakespeare might treat the same statement with the same meaning as “John the ball caught” or “The ball John caught.” 41．A．oppression B．accusation C．direction D．appreciation 42．A．specifics B．alternations C．improvements D．incidents 43．A．exposed B．led C．contacted D．linked 44．A．roughly B．arguably C．simply D．essentially 45．A．took pride B．kept track C．took advantage D．gave way 46．A．widen B．avoid C．embrace D．bridge 47．A．address B．deal C．learn D．undertake 48．A．unchanged B．easy C．accessible D．qualified 49．A．In other words B．For example C．Above all D．By contrast 50．A．edition B．medium C．recollection D．download 51．A．confusion B．mixture C．achievement D．flexibility 52．A．switched B．substituted C．excluded D．commanded 53．A．connect B．guarantee C．agree D．neglect 54．A．pitiful B．independent C．unique D．trick 55．A．Before B．While C．Providing D．Since 【答案】 41．B 42．B 43．A 44．C 45．C 46．D 47．A 48．C 49．B 50．A 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．D 55．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。阅读莎士比亚作品时，人们最大的抱怨可能是它读起来并不像“正常”的英语，文章主要分析了莎士比亚英语之所以难度的原因以及如何解决这一问题。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是一个自然而合理的指控。A. oppression压迫；B. accusation控告；C. direction方向；D. appreciation欣赏。根据上文“Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English.(阅读莎士比亚作品时，人们最大的抱怨可能是它读起来并不像“正常”的英语)”可知，上文人们在控诉莎士比亚的作品难读懂。故选B。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：想想单词的含义和表达在相对较短的时间内是如何变化的；四个世纪给他们带来了很多变化。A. specifics细节；B. alternations变化，交替；C. improvements改善；D. incidents事件。根据上文“Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time”可知，此处强调单词含义和表达的变化，故选B。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：文艺复兴和英国作为海上强国的地位使英语接触到越来越多的文化和语言。A. exposed暴露；B. led带领；C. contacted交往；D. linked连接。根据后文“the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages.”可知，英语在文艺复兴时期接触到越来越多的文化和语言。故选A。 44．考查副词词义辨析。句意：正式的字典和语法教科书根本没有退出，而“适当的教育更多地侧重于古典拉丁语，而不是口语英语”。A. roughly大概；B. arguably按理；C. simply仅仅，根本；D. essentially本质上。根据后文“did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English.”可知，正式的字典和语法教科书根本没有退出，而“适当的教育更多地侧重于古典拉丁语，而不是口语英语”。故选C。 45．考查动词短语辨析。句意：尽管存在这种忽视——或许正因为如此——伊丽莎白统治时期的英语有一定的灵活性，莎士比亚利用了这一点。A. took pride以……为骄傲；B. kept track追踪；C. took advantage利用；D. gave way让步。根据上文“English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare”指莎士比亚利用了英语当时的灵活性。故选C。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：那么，今天的读者如何才能跨越过去和现在之间的鸿沟呢？A. widen变宽；B. avoid避免；C. embrace拥抱；D. bridge弥合。根据后文“that gap between then and now”指弥合过去和现在的鸿沟，应用动词bridge。故选D。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：有两个关键领域需要解决：词汇用法和语法。A. address解决；B. deal交易；C. learn学习；D. undertake承担。上文提到今天的读者如何才能跨越过去和现在之间的鸿沟，后文指出有两个关键领域需要解决：词汇用法和语法。故选A。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一旦你理解了这些基本概念，莎士比亚就变得容易理解了。A. unchanged不变的；B. easy容易的；C. accessible可到达的，可以理解的；D. qualified有资格的。根据上文“Once you understand there fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more”中once引导条件状语从句，说明一旦你理解了这些基本概念，莎士比亚就变得容易理解了。故选C。 49．考查介词短语辨析。句意：例如，你最后一次听到有人使用bodkin（穿孔工具）、contumely（辱骂）或fardel（捆绑）等词是什么时候？A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In my hometown of Idaho Falls, beneath the elevated train tracks that paralleled West Yellowstone Highway, there was a hidden gem that aroused my curiosity. A small opening in the hill, easily missed if one wasn’t attentive, attracted me with its half-moon shape and stone-framed edges. Although it looked pointless, brilliant light poured through, creating a tapestry of thin trees covered in delicate, light green leaves — a symbol of freshness and new beginnings — and illuminating the space. That image remains vivid in my mind, evoking a fanciful notion of a gateway to a secret world where wood nymphs and fairies have fun. I imagined an embrace of beautiful light, a peaceful place where I would feel secure and understood. As a teenager, armed with a driver’s license, I fantasized about driving to that spot and finally stepping through the opening. However, I knew deep down that the moment I ventured closer, the enchantment (魔法) would disappear like morning mist. Even in adulthood, I had a knack for summoning enchantment. I could marvel at drifting clouds, sensing their magical dance. Old forests showed an otherworldly wisdom, and seemingly coincidental events held a mystical fascination. But the pandemic, like a thief in the night, robbed me of that gift. Confined to our homes, the cries of our children merged with our own as we wrestled with teaching them reading and math. Weeks stretched into months, and months into years, eroding my ability to find enchantment in the boring life, leaving only the residue of a COVID-infected existence. So when I picked up Katherine May’s newest book and read this bit, it felt really familiar: “I have lost some fundamental part of my knowing, some basic human feeling. Without it, the world feels like tap water left overnight, flat and chemical, short of life. I am like lightning seeking earth. Uneasy. I need a better way to walk through this life. I want to be enchanted again.” May has written an entire book about this, appropriately titled Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age. I dog-eared almost every page in this book, as they mirrored my own experiences. It was a confirmation I desperately needed- the realization that I wasn’t alone in my struggle. May’s exploration of curiosity, imagination, and the quest for meaning in our lives became a profound reminder of the path I yearned to rediscover. Therefore, I can’t wait to recommend this book to you. You won’t be disappointed; you have my word. 56．The first three paragraphs talk about ________. A．how the author discovered a hidden opening in her hometown B．what role a secret world plays in kids fascinated with fairy tales C．how the author holds onto a sense of wonder as a curious child D．why there is an inevitable loss of enchantment upon inspection 57．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the passage?

However, I knew deep down that the moment I ventured closer, the enchantment (魔法) would disappear like morning mist.(十几岁的时候，我拿着驾照，幻想着开车到那个地方，最终穿过那个开放的地方。然而，我内心深处知道，当我冒险靠近的那一刻，魔法就会像晨雾一样消失)”可知，前三段讲述了作者作为一个好奇的孩子是如何保持好奇心的。故选C。 57．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I could marvel at drifting clouds, sensing their magical dance.

For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air 【答案】63．B 64．B 65．C 66．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了空气污染加剧对健康的威胁以及由此带来的瓶装空气市场的兴起。 63．细节理解题。根据第二段“While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air.(尽管这家公司已经向厌倦了城市污染的中国民众出售了12,000瓶来自加拿大国家公园的空气，越来越多的其他国家也在请求获取清洁空气。)”可知，加拿大公司通过将国家公园的空气运往中国以牟利。故选B。 64．细节理解题。根据第三段“The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history.(化石燃料的燃烧增长如此之快，以至于全球正在接近超出每百万体积400份的二氧化碳浓度水平——这是人类历史上未曾见过的水平。)”可知，化石燃料的过度燃烧导致了空气污染问题，故选B。 65．推理判断题。根据第三段“Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter.(化石燃料的燃烧增长如此之快，以至于全球正在接近超出每百万体积400份的二氧化碳浓度水平——这是人类历史上未曾见过的水平。)”可知，燃烧化石燃料导致阿拉斯加的冬季变暖，故选C。 66．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs.(但是，每年因空气污染而死亡的人数超过了疟疾和艾滋病死者的总和，因此显然我们需要采取更多措施来清洁城市环境，遏制塑料进入环境的流动，并帮助快速发展的经济体利用太阳能和风能，而不是依赖煤炭来获取能源。)”可知，文中主要讨论空气质量问题及Vitality Air销售瓶装空气的现象，其中提及瓶装空气并不是解决空气污染的灵丹妙药，A“瓶装空气：远离空气污染的灵丹妙药”符合主题，适合做标题。故选A。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Your furry companion obtains comfort and security from enclosed spaces. B. Others prefer shoes, bowls, shopping bags, coffee mugs, empty egg cartons, and other small, enclosed spaces. C. She found a significant difference in stress levels between cats that had the boxes and those that didn’t. D. A box, in this sense, can often represent a safe zone, a place where sources of anxiety, hostility (恶意), and unwanted attention simply disappear. E. So rather than work things out, cats tend to simply run away from their problems or avoid them altogether. F. Thankfully, behavioral biologists and veterinarians have come up with a few interesting explanations. Why Do Cats Love Boxes So Much? There is an object that’s pretty much guaranteed to arouse your cat’s interest. That object, as the Internet has so thoroughly documented, is a box. Any box, really. Like many other really strange things cats do, science hasn’t fully cracked this particular feline (猫科的) mystery. ____67____ In fact, when you look at all the evidence together, it could be that your cat may not just like boxes, he may need them. The box-and-whisker plot Understanding the feline mind is extremely difficult. Still, there’s a sizable amount of behavioral research on cats who are, well, used for other kinds of research. These studies have been taking place for more than 50 years and they make one thing quite clear: ____68____ This is likely true for a number of reasons, but for cats in stressful situations, a box or some other type of separate enclosure can have a strong impact on both their behavior and physiology. Ethologist Claudia Vinke of Utrecht University in the Netherlands is one of the latest researchers to study stress levels in shelter cats. Working with domestic cats in a Dutch animal shelter, Vinke provided hiding boxes for a group of newly arrived cats while keeping another group from them entirely. ____69____ In effect, the cats with boxes got used to their new surroundings faster, were far less stressed early on, and were more interested in interacting with humans. The ‘If it fits, I sits’ principle Some feline observers will note that in addition to boxes, many cats seem to pick other odd places to relax. Some curl up in a bathroom sink. ____70____ This brings us to the other reason why your cat may like particularly small boxes: It’s really cold out. So there you have it: Boxes are insulating, stress-relieving, comfort zones—places where cats can hide, relax, sleep, and occasionally launch a surprise attack against the huge, unpredictable apes they live with. 【答案】67. F 68. A 69. C 70. B 【解析】 【导语】本是一篇说明文。主要介绍了猫喜欢盒子的原因。 【67题详解】 上文“Like many other really strange things cats do, science hasn’t fully cracked this particular feline (猫科的) mystery. (就像猫做的许多其他非常奇怪的事情一样，科学还没有完全破解这种特殊的神秘的猫科动物)”说明猫科动物很神秘，与空格处是转折关系，因此F项“值得庆幸的是，行为生物学家和兽医提出了一些有趣的解释”符合语境，故选F。 【68题详解】 下文“This is likely true for a number of reasons, but for cats in stressful situations, a box or some other type of separate enclosure can have a strong impact on both their behavior and physiology.(这可能有很多原因，但对于处于压力环境中的猫来说，一个盒子或其他类型的单独围栏会对它们的行为和生理产生强烈影响。)”说明猫处于压力环境中需要有缓解压力的空间，因此A项“你的毛茸茸的同伴从封闭的空间中获得舒适和安全”符合语境，故选A。 【69题详解】 上文“Working with domestic cats in a Dutch animal shelter, Vinke provided hiding boxes for a group of newly arrived cats while keeping another group from them entirely. (Vinke在荷兰的一家动物收容所与家猫合作，为一群新来的猫提供了隐藏箱，同时让另一群猫完全远离它们)”说明的是Vinke做的实验，空格处是实验得出的结果，因此C项“她发现有盒子的猫和没有盒子的猫在压力水平上有显著差异”符合语境，故选C。 【70题详解】 上文“Some feline observers will note that in addition to boxes, many cats seem to pick other odd places to relax. (一些猫科动物观察者会注意到，除了盒子，许多猫似乎还会选择其他奇怪的地方放松。)”说明猫科动物喜欢的狭小的奇奇怪怪的空间，空格处是具体的奇怪的地方，因此B项“其他猫更喜欢鞋子、碗、购物袋、咖啡杯、空鸡蛋盒和其他小的封闭空间”符合语境，故选B。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Combating Cyberbullying: A Guide for Adults to Protect and Support Children If you notice warning signs that a child may be involved in cyberbullying, take steps to investigate that child’s digital behavior. Adults should take action to handle cyberbullying: support the bullied child, address the bullying behavior of a participant, and show children that cyberbullying is taken seriously. Since cyberbullying happens online, responding to it requires different approaches. If you think that a child is involved in cyberbullying, there are several things you can do. The first thing parents can do is to recognize if there have been dramatic changes in mood or behavior. Try primarily to determine if these changes happen around a child’s use of digital devices. For example, if a child who was previously enthusiastic about using social media or playing online games suddenly becomes withdrawn or reluctant to engage with these activities, it could be a sign that they are experiencing cyberbullying. If you’ve confirmed that your child has been bullied, I advise you to ask questions to learn what is happening, how it started, and who is involved. Remember to keep a record of what your kid says, and take screenshots of harmful posts or content if possible. Most laws and policies note that bullying is a repeated behavior, so records help to document it. Most social media platforms and schools have clear policies and reporting processes. If a classmate is cyberbullying, report it to the school. You can also use social media platforms to report offensive content and have it removed. If a child has received physical threats, or if a potential crime or illegal behavior is occurring, report it to the police. Instant report can be crucial in preventing further harm and ensuring that the situation is addressed promptly and effectively. By acting quickly, you can help protect the victim from additional distress and potentially stop the bullying from escalating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The passage provides strategies for adults to tackle cyberbullying affecting children.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France 21 (follow) rules that demand secondary fermentation（发酵）of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation. Some use “Champagne” as a general term for sparkling wine, but it is illegal to officially label any product Champagne 22 it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the title. In France the first sparkling Champagne was created accidentally. Contrary to legend and popular belief, Dom Pérignon did not invent sparkling wine. The oldest 23 (record) sparkling wine is Blanquette de Limoux, 24 was apparently invented by Benedictine Monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in 1531. Over a century later, the English scientist and physician Christopher Merret documented the addition of sugar 25 a finished wine to create a second fermentation. The pressure in the Champagne bottle led it to be called “the devil's wine,” as bottles  exploded or corks popped. In 1844 Adolphe Jaquesson invented the muse-let 26 (prevent) the corks from blowing out. Even when it was deliberately produced as a sparkling wine, Champagne was for a very long time made by the méthode rurale, where the wine was bottled before the initial fermentation had finished. Champagne did not use the méthode champenoise 27 the 19th century, about 200 years after Merret documented the process. Méthode champenoise is the traditional method by which Champagne is produced. After primary fermentation and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second fermentation is caused by adding several grams of yeast and rock sugar to the bottle --- although each brand has 28 own secret recipe. Usually a minimum of 1.5 years is required to completely develop the full flavor. The 19th century 29 (see) a fast growth in Champagne production, going from a regional production of 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 to 20 million bottles in 1850. In 2007, Champagne sales hit 30 all-time record of 338.7 million bottles. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

There is no doubt that dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly 31 —and that is a big “if”—we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at three common dreams and what they potentially symbolize. Dream 1: I can see their laughing faces laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were, they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative 32 . On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday 33 . It may also symbolize a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is 34 of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent feelings of inferiority, which the dreamer attempts to get rid of by literally and physically 35 themselves above others. Dream 2: I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. It doesn’t matter how fast I go. I still can’t escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and 36 , it can suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By 37 hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stop moving. This makes the fear even more terrifying. One possible explanation is that the person is under pressure in their everyday life. Dream 3: I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped. Trapped in my own bed. This symbol is associated with fear and embarrassment: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot; 38 in’ a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent 39 for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something that you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a(n) 40 fear of losing a job and a livelihood. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable 41 . Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of 42 . The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea power 43 the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks 44 did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect- or perhaps because of it-English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare 45 . So how can a reader today 46 that gap between then and now? There are two critical areas to 47 : word usage and grammar. Once you understand there fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more 48 . First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. 49 , when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle)? Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good 50 with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used within a different meaning in Shakespeare’s works. Grammar is where the 51 of Shakespeare English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently 52 , such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don’t always 53 . Even sentence construction can be 54 , with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. 55 we would say, “John caught the ball”, Shakespeare might treat the same statement with the same meaning as “John the ball caught” or “The ball John caught.” 41．A．oppression B．accusation C．direction D．appreciation 42．A．specifics B．alternations C．improvements D．incidents 43．A．exposed B．led C．contacted D．linked 44．A．roughly B．arguably C．simply D．essentially 45．A．took pride B．kept track C．took advantage D．gave way 46．A．widen B．avoid C．embrace D．bridge 47．A．address B．deal C．learn D．undertake 48．A．unchanged B．easy C．accessible D．qualified 49．A．In other words B．For example C．Above all D．By contrast 50．A．edition B．medium C．recollection D．download 51．A．confusion B．mixture C．achievement D．flexibility 52．A．switched B．substituted C．excluded D．commanded 53．A．connect B．guarantee C．agree D．neglect 54．A．pitiful B．independent C．unique D．trick 55．A．Before B．While C．Providing D．Since Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In my hometown of Idaho Falls, beneath the elevated train tracks that paralleled West Yellowstone Highway, there was a hidden gem that aroused my curiosity. A small opening in the hill, easily missed if one wasn’t attentive, attracted me with its half-moon shape and stone-framed edges. Although it looked pointless, brilliant light poured through, creating a tapestry of thin trees covered in delicate, light green leaves — a symbol of freshness and new beginnings — and illuminating the space. That image remains vivid in my mind, evoking a fanciful notion of a gateway to a secret world where wood nymphs and fairies have fun. I imagined an embrace of beautiful light, a peaceful place where I would feel secure and understood. As a teenager, armed with a driver’s license, I fantasized about driving to that spot and finally stepping through the opening. However, I knew deep down that the moment I ventured closer, the enchantment (魔法) would disappear like morning mist. Even in adulthood, I had a knack for summoning enchantment. I could marvel at drifting clouds, sensing their magical dance. Old forests showed an otherworldly wisdom, and seemingly coincidental events held a mystical fascination. But the pandemic, like a thief in the night, robbed me of that gift. Confined to our homes, the cries of our children merged with our own as we wrestled with teaching them reading and math. Weeks stretched into months, and months into years, eroding my ability to find enchantment in the boring life, leaving only the residue of a COVID-infected existence. So when I picked up Katherine May’s newest book and read this bit, it felt really familiar: “I have lost some fundamental part of my knowing, some basic human feeling. Without it, the world feels like tap water left overnight, flat and chemical, short of life. I am like lightning seeking earth. Uneasy. I need a better way to walk through this life. I want to be enchanted again.” May has written an entire book about this, appropriately titled Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age. I dog-eared almost every page in this book, as they mirrored my own experiences. It was a confirmation I desperately needed- the realization that I wasn’t alone in my struggle. May’s exploration of curiosity, imagination, and the quest for meaning in our lives became a profound reminder of the path I yearned to rediscover. Therefore, I can’t wait to recommend this book to you. You won’t be disappointed; you have my word. 56．The first three paragraphs talk about ________. A．how the author discovered a hidden opening in her hometown B．what role a secret world plays in kids fascinated with fairy tales C．how the author holds onto a sense of wonder as a curious child D．why there is an inevitable loss of enchantment upon inspection 57．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the passage? A．draining up B．calling up C．stepping up D．filling up 58．What can you infer from the passage? A．The author identifies with the content in May’s newest book. B．The author enjoys reading books in the company of her dog. C．The pandemic has taken away the author’s ability to read. D．May’s newest book serves as a reminder of the boring past. 59．The purpose of this passage is to ________. A．compare ways to find enchantment in life B．recommend May’s newest book to readers C．explain why a sense of wonder is important D．introduce the author’s fascinating childhood (B) With the release of highly anticipated films such as Tolkien, Aladdin and Rocketman, and events like RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Canalway Cavalcade, May is set to be an exciting month for Londoners. You’ll be pleased to have your two bank holidays to enjoy some of the things.

While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Your furry companion obtains comfort and security from enclosed spaces. B. Others prefer shoes, bowls, shopping bags, coffee mugs, empty egg cartons, and other small, enclosed spaces. C. She found a significant difference in stress levels between cats that had the boxes and those that didn’t. D. A box, in this sense, can often represent a safe zone, a place where sources of anxiety, hostility (恶意), and unwanted attention simply disappear. E. So rather than work things out, cats tend to simply run away from their problems or avoid them altogether. F. Thankfully, behavioral biologists and veterinarians have come up with a few interesting explanations. Why Do Cats Love Boxes So Much? There is an object that’s pretty much guaranteed to arouse your cat’s interest. That object, as the Internet has so thoroughly documented, is a box. Any box, really. Like many other really strange things cats do, science hasn’t fully cracked this particular feline (猫科的) mystery. ____67____ In fact, when you look at all the evidence together, it could be that your cat may not just like boxes, he may need them. The box-and-whisker plot Understanding the feline mind is extremely difficult. Still, there’s a sizable amount of behavioral research on cats who are, well, used for other kinds of research. These studies have been taking place for more than 50 years and they make one thing quite clear: ____68____ This is likely true for a number of reasons, but for cats in stressful situations, a box or some other type of separate enclosure can have a strong impact on both their behavior and physiology. Ethologist Claudia Vinke of Utrecht University in the Netherlands is one of the latest researchers to study stress levels in shelter cats. Working with domestic cats in a Dutch animal shelter, Vinke provided hiding boxes for a group of newly arrived cats while keeping another group from them entirely. ____69____ In effect, the cats with boxes got used to their new surroundings faster, were far less stressed early on, and were more interested in interacting with humans. The ‘If it fits, I sits’ principle Some feline observers will note that in addition to boxes, many cats seem to pick other odd places to relax. Some curl up in a bathroom sink. ____70____ This brings us to the other reason why your cat may like particularly small boxes: It’s really cold out. So there you have it: Boxes are insulating, stress-relieving, comfort zones—places where cats can hide, relax, sleep, and occasionally launch a surprise attack against the huge, unpredictable apes they live with.

Combating Cyberbullying: A Guide for Adults to Protect and Support Children If you notice warning signs that a child may be involved in cyberbullying, take steps to investigate that child’s digital behavior. Adults should take action to handle cyberbullying: support the bullied child, address the bullying behavior of a participant, and show children that cyberbullying is taken seriously. Since cyberbullying happens online, responding to it requires different approaches. If you think that a child is involved in cyberbullying, there are several things you can do. The first thing parents can do is to recognize if there have been dramatic changes in mood or behavior. Try primarily to determine if these changes happen around a child’s use of digital devices. For example, if a child who was previously enthusiastic about using social media or playing online games suddenly becomes withdrawn or reluctant to engage with these activities, it could be a sign that they are experiencing cyberbullying. If you’ve confirmed that your child has been bullied, I advise you to ask questions to learn what is happening, how it started, and who is involved. Remember to keep a record of what your kid says, and take screenshots of harmful posts or content if possible. Most laws and policies note that bullying is a repeated behavior, so records help to document it. Most social media platforms and schools have clear policies and reporting processes. If a classmate is cyberbullying, report it to the school. You can also use social media platforms to report offensive content and have it removed. If a child has received physical threats, or if a potential crime or illegal behavior is occurring, report it to the police. Instant report can be crucial in preventing further harm and ensuring that the situation is addressed promptly and effectively. By acting quickly, you can help protect the victim from additional distress and potentially stop the bullying from escalating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．教师致力于培养孩子的创新能力, 这是教书育人的重要使命之一。(which) 73．研究人员想弄清楚经常与动物接触是否能帮助人们有效减轻压力。(exposure) 74．医疗人员敦促游客们时刻戴好口罩。(urge) 75．第十九届杭州亚运会取得了圆满成功，杭州独特的城市文化以及市民们的热情付出给运动员们留下了深刻的印象。(impress) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是启明中学高二学生王磊，刚刚收到你的好朋友李华的邮件。信中提到他和家人计划在即将到来的公共假期来上海旅游，但他对于自驾游还是使用公共交通犹豫不决，现征求你的建议。请你回复邮件，内容需包括： 1.你的建议；2.你建议的理由。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit 3 ·基础卷（参考答案） I.Listening Comprehension （第1-10题, 每题1分；第11-20题，每题1.5分；共25分） 1-5 ABAAB 6-10 ACAAA 11-13 BAA 14-16 DAA 17-20 ABAA II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A 21．following 22．unless 23．recorded 24．which 25．to 26．to prevent 27．until 28．its 29．saw 30．an Section B 31．I 32．C 33．G 34．E 35．A 36．D 37．H 38．K 39．B 40．F III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A 41．B 42．B 43．A 44．C 45．C 46．D 47．A 48．C 49．B 50．A 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．D 55．B Section B 56．C 57．B 58．A 59．B 60．B 61．C 62．D 63．B 64．B 65．C 66．A Section C 67.

VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Dear Li Hua, I am so glad to hear that your family has planned a visit to Shanghai during the next public holiday! Welcome! Since you are hesitant about traveling by car or using public transportation, I am writing to give you some advice. In my opinion, compared with using public transportations, driving a car here is a good choice, On one hand, traffic rules in Shanghai are not friendly at all to cars from other cities. You might be politely refused by a policeman when entering the inner-ring areas if you drive a car. On the other hand, the public transportation in Shanghai can meet all your needs. Boasting the longest underground railways in the world, the metro service is bound to provide you with a satisfactory travel experience. Besides, it is economical and convenient to take the city buses to tour around. Hopefully, you can have a good time in Shanghai.
