Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 tourist spots, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which goes up 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to experience the stories of childhood again and enjoy favorite attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle / Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly spots. The park’s newest spots include Pirate River Quest, a boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the spots may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to typical sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A. A variety of animals. B. More than 200 endangered birds. C. Shows at 206 feet high. D. The oldest roller coaster in the world. 22. What is known about Magic Kingdom Park? A. It is for younger guests only. B. It serves as a working studio. C. It is the first theme park in the USA. D. It combines classic attractions with new offerings. 23. Which theme park attracts those loving Harry Potter? A. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. B. Magic Kingdom Park. C. Universal Studios Florida. D. Legoland Florida. B According to related new research, tropical cyclones(热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer. It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities. “Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.” According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each spot. Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate change. Kossin’s work was considered to be “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says. 24. Why are cyclones more destructive when they crawl more slowly? A. They get higher wind speeds inside. B. They cause more serious climate change. C. They move poleward and affect more regions. D. They make rains and winds stay longer over a place. 25. What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific? A The speed of the storms there slows more. B. It has much wetter air. C. It has higher risk of being hit by storms. D. The storms there cause less damage. 26. What’s Christina Patricola’s attitude to Kossin’s work？ A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Critical. D. Approving. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Health. D. Education. C The following are the world-renewed attractions in London, so don’t miss them while touring there. Shakespeare’s Globe Shakespeare’s Globe, which officially opened in 1997, is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, built in 1599, and brings Shakespeare’s world to life. As a visitor to the exhibition you’ll discover how shows were produced in the theatres during Shakespeare’s time. The guide-storytellers take you on a fascinating half-hour tour. Price: Adult ￡9.00；Child(5-15) ￡6.50; Student ￡7.50; Under 5 FREE. The Tower of London The tower, nearly 100 feet high, with walls 15 feet thick, was built in the early 1080s. King Henry Ⅲ made this tower his home. King Edward V and his younger brother were murdered inside by their uncle. Queen Elizabeth I was shut up in the tower for two months by her half sister Mary who felt that her throne(王位)was being threatened(威胁). In 1603, part of the tower became a museum. Price: Adult ￡16.50; Child (5-15) ￡9.50; Under 5 FREE; Student ￡13.50; Family (two adults with three children) ￡46.00. Banqueting(宴会) House Banqueting House is the remains of Whitehall Palace which was built in 1529 and was home to the English kings. It was destroyed by fire. Famous for its architecture and painting, the building is also known for being the scene of Charles I’s execution(处决). Price: Adult ￡4.50; Child ￡2.25; Student (with ID) and senior citizen (60+) ￡3.00; Under 5 FREE. Tower Bridge Exhibition Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world. At the Tower Bridge Exhibition you can enjoy breath-taking views from the high-level walkways and learn about the history of the bridge and how it was built. You can then visit the Victorian engine rooms, home to the original steam engines that used to power the bridge. Price: Adult￡6.00; Child (5-15) ￡3.00; Under 5 FREE; Senior citizen(60+) ￡4.50; Student￡4.50. 28. Which of the following places has the longest history? A. Whitehall Palace. B. The Globe Theatre. C.

Queen Elizabeth I was shut up in the tower for two months by Mary mainly because ________. A. Mary didn’t like her B. she tried to steal Mary’s treasure C. Mary feared she would become the Queen D. she intended to murder Mary 31. How many places used as a king’s home are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. D Farmers often lose crops because they cannot spot diseases fast enough. When a virus (病毒) spreads, it can destroy many plants and hurt nearby farms too. In Tanzania, several viruses attack crops every year. Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results, but now a small, hand-held tool is changing everything. The tool is made by a British company. It looks like a little box and is easy to carry to any field. First, a farmer cuts a tiny piece from a sick leaf. The tool then pulls out the plant’s DNA and reads it. Within two hours, it tells the farmer which virus is hurting the crop. This speed is very important, because the quicker the answer, the sooner the farmer can act. After testing, farmer Asha Mohamed learned exactly which viruses were on her land. She was given two kinds of new seeds that can control those viruses. She planted them right away. Nine months later, scientists came back and saw tall, healthy plants and a big harvest. The same tool was also used in Kenya on Naomi Mumo’s pawpaw trees. The quick test showed the exact disease, and Naomi could choose the right treatment. Because the tool is small and runs on batteries, farmers can use it anywhere. They do not need a big lab or a long waiting time. By finding viruses early and choosing resistant seeds, farmers protect their crops, their neighbors’ crops, and their income. 32. What was the main problem farmers faced in the past? A. A lack of modern farming techniques. B. A shortage of high-quality farming land. C. A slow process to find diseases in crops. D. An inability to afford necessary supplies. 33. How does the hand-held tool help farmers? A. By watering the crops when needed. B. By increasing the growth speed of the crops. C. By reading the plant’s DNA to find the virus. D. By predicting which diseases will spread next. 34. What happened to farmer Asha Mohamed after she used the tool? A. She got more land to plant her crops on. B. She received money to help pay for her farm. C. She was given special seeds that stop viruses. D. All her crops became completely disease-proof. 35. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A fairy novel. D. A science magazine. 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。 Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people — especially children — not to ask too many questions. _____36_____ In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. _____37_____ For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world. _____38_____ On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you? In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. _____39_____ Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them. The final — and perhaps most worrying — way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, the big data find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. _____40_____ Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age. A. Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. B. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with. C. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. D. We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs E. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. F. However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology. G. It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 A woman, Li Li, aged 25 in China, recently decided to have an operation to reduce the size of her stomach.

Li Li’s ____46____ was recently published by Chengdu Business Daily. She arrived at the Chengdu Peopled Hospital and told the doctors there that she had ____47____ for seven years.

The woman said that after her first experience with weight-loss pills, she ____49____ going online and searching for other pills and weight-loss plans. But the results were always the same. She couldn’t even _____50_____ all the different drugs she had taken in the past seven years, but what she did know was that none of them worked as advertised. Yes, some pills _____51_____ helped her lose 29 pounds a month, but as soon as she stopped taking them, she soon came back to her previous weight and even _____52_____ more weight. Li Li said she wanted to remind people not to _____53_____ advertising which was different from reality when it came to weight loss products, because she was a clear _____54_____ of that. Losing weight is a long-term process, no matter how _____55_____ the advertising for weight-loss pills is. 41 A. program B. advertisement C. report D. project 42. A. doctors B. arguments C. suggestions D. pills 43. A. disappointing B. encouraging C. horrible D. awkward 44 A. hidden B. sold C. lost D. missed 45. A. beginning B. middle C. ending D. reason 46.

But ___58___English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us? The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you’ve enjoyed!” after eating. While ___59___(eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very ___60___(puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently? Am I eating too ___61___or too much? And now comes the end of the dinner when your guests ___62___(leave). The Chinese would say, “Walk slowly!” This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners: why can’t I walk fast? Does it matter ___63___I walk slowly or not? Are you worrying that I may fall over? ___64___change your words ___65___a simple “Bye!” or “See you next time!” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 书面表达 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是某校的英文报记者李华。你们学校最近举办了一次主题为“来华留学生讲中国故事”的英语征文大赛。请你写一篇英文报道，内容包括： 1. 参赛情况； 2. 获奖情况：10名同学分获一、二、三等奖； 3. 活动反响。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 读后续写 (满分25分) 67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail. Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table. It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats. Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything. We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: But when Dad pulled back the right turkey leg, it slipped from his oily fingers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As Lonnie yelled, we found a turkey leg was missing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年第一学期 高二年级英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分 30 分) 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 1.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 tourist spots, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which goes up 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to experience the stories of childhood again and enjoy favorite attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle / Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly spots. The park’s newest spots include Pirate River Quest, a boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the spots may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to typical sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A. A variety of animals. B. More than 200 endangered birds. C. Shows at 206 feet high. D. The oldest roller coaster in the world. 22. What is known about Magic Kingdom Park? A. It is for younger guests only. B. It serves as a working studio. C. It is the first theme park in the USA. D. It combines classic attractions with new offerings. 23. Which theme park attracts those loving Harry Potter? A. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. B. Magic Kingdom Park. C. Universal Studios Florida. D. Legoland Florida. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了佛罗里达州四个最棒的主题公园，包括Busch Gardens Tampa Bay、Magic Kingdom Park、Legoland Florida和Universal Studios Florida分别说明了它们的特色和亮点，为游客规划旅行提供参考。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Busch Gardens Tampa Bay”部分中“Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. (在这里，你可以找到世界上最高、最快的过山车Montu，以及该地区最大的动物园，拥有200多种动物)”可知，Busch Gardens Tampa Bay拥有多种动物。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Magic Kingdom Park”部分中“Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to experience the stories of childhood again and enjoy favorite attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. (如今，Magic Kingdom Park将新旧结合，邀请游客重温童年的故事并享受最受欢迎的景点，如加勒比海盗)”可知，该公园结合了经典景点和新项目。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Universal Studios Florida”部分中“This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. (这里也是孩子们可以找到《哈利·波特》的魔法世界——对角巷的地方，这是有史以来最令人印象深刻的主题公园之一)”可知，佛罗里达环球影城会吸引那些喜欢《哈利·波特》这部电影的人。故选C项。 B According to related new research, tropical cyclones(热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer. It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities. “Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.” According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each spot. Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate change. Kossin’s work was considered to be “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says. 24. Why are cyclones more destructive when they crawl more slowly? A. They get higher wind speeds inside. B. They cause more serious climate change. C. They move poleward and affect more regions. D. They make rains and winds stay longer over a place. 25. What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific? A. The speed of the storms there slows more. B. It has much wetter air. C. It has higher risk of being hit by storms. D. The storms there cause less damage. 26. What’s Christina Patricola’s attitude to Kossin’s work？ A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Critical. D. Approving. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Health. D. Education. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一项研究发现：根据相关的最新研究，热带气旋，从飓风到台风，在地球上移动的速度比几十年前更慢，这意味着它们具有更大的破坏力，而且持续时间更长。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities.”(虽然气旋在地面上移动的速度较慢，但是它们在里面的风速仍然很高，相反，这使得强降雨在社区上空停留的时间更长。)因此，气旋移动的速度慢，那么强降雨在社区上空停留的时间更长，这样他的破坏力更大。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016.”（他指出，从1949年到2016年，全球热带气旋的速度平均减缓了10% 。）；倒数第二句“ In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third.”(在北太平洋的西部，它的速度下降了近三分之一。)所以，在北太平西部的气旋的速度降低的更慢。选项A与文意相符。故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Kossin’s work was considered to be “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola”(Christina Patricola 认为 Kossin 的研究”相当有说服力”。)所以，对于Kossin 的研究结果，Christina Patricola是赞同的。选项D与文意一致。故选D。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“According to related new research, tropical cyclones(热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer.”(根据相关的最新研究，热带气旋，从飓风到台风，在地球上移动的速度比几十年前更慢，这意味着它们具有更大的破坏力，而且持续时间更长。)全文主要是来说明这个关于热带气旋的研究结果，是和科学研究相关的文章。所以文章可能使在报纸的科学版块出现。选项B与文意相符。故选B。 C The following are the world-renewed attractions in London, so don’t miss them while touring there.

When a virus (病毒) spreads, it can destroy many plants and hurt nearby farms too. In Tanzania, several viruses attack crops every year. Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results, but now a small, hand-held tool is changing everything. The tool is made by a British company. It looks like a little box and is easy to carry to any field. First, a farmer cuts a tiny piece from a sick leaf. The tool then pulls out the plant’s DNA and reads it. Within two hours, it tells the farmer which virus is hurting the crop. This speed is very important, because the quicker the answer, the sooner the farmer can act. After testing, farmer Asha Mohamed learned exactly which viruses were on her land. She was given two kinds of new seeds that can control those viruses. She planted them right away. Nine months later, scientists came back and saw tall, healthy plants and a big harvest. The same tool was also used in Kenya on Naomi Mumo’s pawpaw trees. The quick test showed the exact disease, and Naomi could choose the right treatment. Because the tool is small and runs on batteries, farmers can use it anywhere. They do not need a big lab or a long waiting time. By finding viruses early and choosing resistant seeds, farmers protect their crops, their neighbors’ crops, and their income. 32. What was the main problem farmers faced in the past? A. A lack of modern farming techniques. B. A shortage of high-quality farming land. C. A slow process to find diseases in crops. D. An inability to afford necessary supplies. 33. How does the hand-held tool help farmers? A. By watering the crops when needed. B. By increasing the growth speed of the crops. C. By reading the plant’s DNA to find the virus. D. By predicting which diseases will spread next. 34. What happened to farmer Asha Mohamed after she used the tool? A. She got more land to plant her crops on. B. She received money to help pay for her farm. C. She was given special seeds that stop viruses. D. All her crops became completely disease-proof. 35. Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A fairy novel. D. A science magazine. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一款便携式作物病毒检测工具，解决农民过去病害检测慢的问题，助力作物保护与丰收。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Farmers often lose crops because they cannot spot diseases fast enough. ... Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results(农民经常因为不能足够快地发现病害而损失作物。……过去，农民需要等待六个月甚至更长时间才能拿到实验室结果)”可知，农民过去面临的主要问题是作物病害检测过程缓慢。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tool then pulls out the plant’s DNA and reads it. Within two hours, it tells the farmer which virus is hurting the crop.(然后该工具会提取植物的DNA并进行解读。在两小时内，它就能告诉农民是哪种病毒在危害作物。)”可知，这款手持工具通过读取植物DNA来识别病毒，帮助农民快速定位病害。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After testing, farmer Asha Mohamed learned exactly which viruses were on her land. She was given two kinds of new seeds that can control those viruses.(测试后，农民阿莎·穆罕默德确切知道了她的土地上存在哪种病毒。她得到了两种能够抵御这些病毒的新种子。)”可知，阿莎使用工具后，获得了可防控相关病毒的特殊种子。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Farmers often lose crops because they cannot spot diseases fast enough. When a virus spreads, it can destroy many plants and hurt nearby farms too. In Tanzania, several viruses attack crops every year. Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results, but now a small, hand-held tool is changing everything(农民们常常因为无法及时发现作物病害而遭受损失。当病毒传播时，它会摧毁大量作物，还会影响到周边的农场。在坦桑尼亚，每年都有多种病毒侵袭农作物。过去，农民们需要等待六个月甚至更久才能拿到实验室检测结果，但现在一款小型手持工具正在改变这一切)”可知，文章围绕一款新型农业科技工具展开，介绍其工作原理、使用效果和实际价值，内容涉及科学技术在农业中的应用。短文来自科学杂志。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people — especially children — not to ask too many questions. _____36_____ In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. _____37_____ For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world. _____38_____ On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you? In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. _____39_____ Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them. The final — and perhaps most worrying — way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, the big data find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. _____40_____ Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age. A. Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. B. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with. C. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. D. We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs E. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. F. However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology. G. It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure 【答案】36. A 37. E 38. F 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，在决定学生在学校表现如何方面，好奇心和智力同样重要。然而，好奇心目前面临的最大威胁来自科技。因此，在21世纪培养好奇心的真正关键，或许是减少对我们这个时代技术工具的依赖。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people — especially children — not to ask too many questions.(也许你听过一句老话“好奇害死猫”。这个短语经常用来警告人们，尤其是孩子，不要问太多问题)”以及下文“In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.(事实上，研究表明，在决定学生在学校表现如何方面，好奇心和智力同样重要)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出好奇心对学习有积极作用。故A项“然而，人们普遍认为好奇心确实能让学习更有效”符合语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities.(好奇心也可以引导我们做出意想不到的发现，给我们的生活带来兴奋，并打开新的可能性)”以及后文“For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.(例如，1831年的一天，迈克尔·法拉第正在摆弄一个线圈和一个磁铁，突然他发现了如何产生电流。一开始，我们不清楚它会有什么用途，但它确实让电力在技术上得到了应用，从而改变了世界)”可知，上文提到好奇心打开新的可能性，后文则举出了科学实验的例子，说明在科学方面好奇心也有重要的好处。故E选项“在科学上，以好奇心为基础的研究可以带来意想不到的重要好处”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据后文“On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?(在某种程度上，这是因为技术已经变得如此先进，以至于我们中的许多人无法再深入思考事物到底是如何工作的。对于一个好奇的青少年来说，拆开一个烤面包机并了解它是如何工作的是可能的，但当你在浏览器中输入一个网址时，你对发生的事情了解多少呢？你对技术的掌握在哪里结束，而你的魔力在哪里开始？)”可知，本段的主旨是科技让许多人无法再深入思考事物到底是如何工作的，从而导致好奇心降低，故F选项“然而，好奇心目前面临的最大威胁来自科技”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly.(除此之外，事实是我们现在都与科技紧密相连，尤其是与我们的手机。我们盯着屏幕的时间越长，与他人直接交谈的时间就越少)”以及后文“Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.(然后，我们觉得自己对一个人已经足够了解，不需要进一步与他们接触)”可知，本段主要说明的是人们通过科技来了解他人，认为自己对一个人已经足够了解，故B选项“我们常常接受社交媒体为我们提供的人物形象”符合语境，故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The final — and perhaps most worrying — way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, the big data find out what we like and push more of the same back to us.(技术阻止我们提出更多要求的最后一种方式——或许也是最令人担忧的一种方式——与算法有关，即计算机遵循的过程。随着我们越来越多地通过社交媒体获取新闻，大数据会发现我们喜欢什么，并把更多同样的东西推送给我们)”以及后文“Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.(那么，也许在21世纪培养好奇心的真正关键是少依赖我们这个时代的科技工具)”可知，上文提到大数据会发现我们喜欢什么，并把更多同样的东西推送给我们，故本句说明这一现象的结果就是：我们最终会陷入自己的小泡泡里，不再有新的想法。故C选项“这意味着我们最终会陷入自己的小泡泡里，不再有新的想法”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 A woman, Li Li, aged 25 in China, recently decided to have an operation to reduce the size of her stomach.

Please forgive me.” In fact, it is a Chinese way of ___56___(be) modest. ___57___he really means is that all the dishes here are really wonderful! What he really hopes is compliment from the guests! But ___58___English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us? The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you’ve enjoyed!” after eating. While ___59___(eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very ___60___(puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently? Am I eating too ___61___or too much? And now comes the end of the dinner when your guests ___62___(leave). The Chinese would say, “Walk slowly!” This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners: why can’t I walk fast? Does it matter ___63___I walk slowly or not? Are you worrying that I may fall over? ___64___change your words ___65___a simple “Bye!” or “See you next time!” 【答案】56. being 57. What 58. the 59. eating 60. puzzling 61. quickly##fast 62. will leave##are leaving 63. whether 64. So 65. for 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。 【56题详解】 考查动名词。句意：事实上，这是中国人谦虚的一种方式。分析句子可知，介词of后面需使用动名词形式作宾语。故填being。 【57题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：事实上，这是中国人谦虚的一种方式。分析句子可知，该句是主语从句，主语从句缺少宾语，需使用连接词what，且位于句首首字母大写。故填What。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：但是英国人可能完全不理解。分析句子可知，定冠词the+国家名表示某国人，the English指英国人。故填the。 【59题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：当吃饭时，我们中国人经常对客人说：“慢慢吃。”在状语从句中，主从句中主语一致，因此从句中可以省略主语we Chinese，且eat和主语之间是主动关系，因此需使用现在分词表主动。故填eating。 【60题详解】 考查形容词。句意：对外国人来说，这是非常令人迷惑的。分析句子可知，空处需使用形容词作表语。故填puzzling。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：是我吃的太快还是太多了呢？分析句子可知，空处需使用副词作状语修饰动词eat，前文提到Eat slowly. （慢慢吃）由此判断，当中国人说“慢慢吃”的时候，外国人可能会觉得自己吃的太快了。故填quickly/fast。 【62题详解】 考查时态。句意：当客人要离开时，中国人会说：“慢点走”。分析句子可知，主句是一般现在时，从句时态不限。空处表示客人将要离开的情况，可使用一般将来时或现在进行时态表示将来，故填will leave/ are leaving。 【63题详解】 考查连词。句意：我走的快或者慢要紧吗？分析句子可知，此处是固定搭配whether…or not，意为“是否”。故填whether。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：因此，把你的词语变成一句简单的“再见”或者“下次见”。分析句子可知，该句与前文中This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners.（这对于中国人来说是一句非常礼貌的话，但是却会让外国人很困惑。）是因果关系，因为外国人感到困惑，所以可以换成一句简单的话，因此空处可使用so表示因果关系，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填So。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：因此，把你的词语变成一句简单的“再见”或者“下次见”。分析句子可知，此处是固定搭配change... for...，意为“把……换成……”。故填for。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 书面表达 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是某校的英文报记者李华。你们学校最近举办了一次主题为“来华留学生讲中国故事”的英语征文大赛。请你写一篇英文报道，内容包括： 1. 参赛情况； 2. 获奖情况：10名同学分获一、二、三等奖； 3. 活动反响。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Lately an English writing contest with the theme of “Foreign students in China tell stories about China” was held in our school.

Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail. Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table. It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats. Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything. We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: But when Dad pulled back the right turkey leg, it slipped from his oily fingers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As Lonnie yelled, we found a turkey leg was missing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】But when Dad pulled back the right turkey leg, it slipped from his oily fingers. “You clumsy ox!” Mom yelled, and she quickly grabbed and picked up the leg. Baba looked at the chandelier and looked annoyed. We all laughed, and Fido started barking in circles on the ground. Anyway, our Thanksgiving dinner is here. As Lonnie yelled, we found a turkey leg was missing. Where’s the drumstick? We felt very strange. Lonnie kept calling and looking at us, pointing under the table. We looked under the table and saw Fido munching on a big turkey leg. When he was found, he stared back at us, unrepentant. Mom said: “So Fido wants to have a delicious Thanksgiving, too.” Fido barked at us, as if confirming my mother’s words. We all laughed. It was so much fun. 【解析】 【分析】 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和家人一起度过的一次快乐的感恩节。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但当爸爸把他的右火鸡腿拉开时，它从他油腻的手指上滑了下来。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈嗔怪了爸爸，爸爸觉得很羞赧。 ②由第二段首句内容“朗尼大喊，我们发现一只火鸡腿不见了。”可知，第二段可描写大家发现火鸡腿不见了，发现狗狗在吃鸡腿。 2.续写线索：嗔怪——懊恼——欢乐——发现鸡腿——回应——开心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：yell/shout ②开始：start/begin ③发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①懊恼：annoyed/upset ②大笑：laugh/guffaw 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lonnie kept calling and looking at us, pointing under the table.

When people think of australia, they mostly think of kangaroo, but really, it's full of diverse wildlife and landscapes. Interesting, i've never been there before, is the landscape quite different from here in the us. I'm from a dry and hot area of the country, but you can see many other wet, costal, cold, mountainous and mild city landscapes there. On travel videos. I have some relatives who live in gold coast, australia. Theyve told me something I never knew about the country, but that area is mainly famous for surfing and beaches. True, around eighty five percent of australians live fifty kilometers from the coast. Because of the country's rough climate, so many drive private trucks or vans through the country to experience the intense beauty. I rather visit urban areas like sydney or melbourne, but on australian road trip sounds cool.
