Michael Jackson.Michael Jackson's home is called Neverland Ranch.It is a home like no other.It has all the things that every star's home should have:a six-car garage,a huge basketball court,and a golf course.What makes it special is that it is also home to twenty-seven different types of animals,and there are tons of rides and games.Jackson believed that his home should be a place for kids to have fun and relax.There are also many great places for adults, including a huge ballroom,a space for music and art,and a large theater.Jackson's home was mainly a place for him to escape from his fame and relax by himself and with friends.He wanted to build his own private world to enjoy and he certainly managed to do that.After all,Michael Jackson was the King of Pop,and he deserved to live in a nice place. 甘肃省2025年新高考英语模拟测试卷（八） 第一部分听力 1-5 CBABA 6-10 BACAB 11-15 CBAAC 16-20 BCABC 第二部分阅读 第一节 2l.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Set on an island,ten people are stranded with a killer among them.Each character has a dark past,and the killer starts playing games with them, eliminating them one by one based on the nursery rhyme 'Ten Little Indians.'The remaining survivors try to figure out who the killer is,while also trying to protect themselves from the inevitable fate that awaits them.(故事发生在一个小岛上，十个人被困在 岛上，其中有一个杀手。每个角色都有黑暗的过去，杀手开始和他们玩游戏，根据童谣‘十个 小印第安人’一个接一个地消灭他们。剩下的幸存者试图找出凶手是谁，同时也试图保护自 己免受等待他们的不可避免的命运)”可知，阿加莎·克里斯蒂创作的小说《无人生还》讲述了 10个陌生人被邀请到一个孤岛上，却一个接一个地被杀害的故事，这是侦探故事迷会感兴趣 的材料。故选D。 22.A 细节理解题。根据第一段“The novel explores themes of justice,love,and the complexities of revolution,painting a vivid picture of the tremendous changes in a certain period.(这部小说探讨了正义、爱情和革命的复杂性等主题，生动地描绘了某一时期的巨大变 化)”以及第二段“Set in the Ming Dynasty,it tells the rise and fall of the Jia family, exploring themes of love,fate,family,and society.(该剧以明朝为背景，讲述了贾氏家族的 兴衰，探讨了爱情、命运、家庭和社会等主题)”可知，两部小说都讲述主人公体会的巨大变化。 故选A。 23.B推理判断题。根据最后一段“Please click here for more bestsellers in the world.(请点击 这里查看更多全球畅销书)”可知，文章出自文学方面的网站。故选B。 B 24.D细节理解题。根据第一段“She paid me very little for my work,because she didn't have much money.She did,however,promise to give me a Christmas present..(她给‘我'的工资

pencil,she wrote my name on the upper sheet.Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium,she handed me the second sheet,which her pencil had in no way touched.There was my name！(她拿起两张白纸，从 盒子里拿出一张黑布放在它们中间。然后，她用一支硬铅笔把‘我’的名字写在上面那张纸 上。她取下那张纸和那张皇家高级复写纸，递给‘我’第二张纸，她的铅笔根本没碰过那张纸。 上面却有‘我'的名字！)”可知，Carbon Paper Regal Premium可以复制写在纸上的东西。故 选D。 26.A词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I wrote and wrote,using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up.It was a game I didn't want to end..(‘我'写啊写，把整张纸 都用完了，直到最后一张黑纸都用完了)”可知，作者一直把Carbon Paper Regal Premium都 写完了，说明作者对Carbon Paper Regal Premium着迷了。故划线句意思是“我对Carbon 8 Paper Regal Premium着迷了”。故选A。 27.B推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is such gifts and such experiences一usually costing little or nothing-that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.(E 是这样的礼物和经历一通常花费很少或根本不花一改变了一个人的生活，并赋予它一种可能 持续几十年的动力)”可推知，作者想要表达的信息是：有长期效果的礼物是更好的选择。故 选B。 C 28.D细节理解题。根据第二段“To achieve such agility(敏捷)，hummingbirds use distinct modes of visual processing to control different types of flight.(为了达到这种敏捷性，蜂鸟使 用不同的视觉处理模式来控制不同类型的飞行。)”可知，让蜂鸟在飞行中如此敏捷的原因是 它们处理自己看到的东西的方式。故选D项。 29.C细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers expected that if the hummingbirds were using visual clues to control their forward flight speed,they would see the birds speed or slow with lights cast on the side walls.But instead,it seemed that they had their own way of knowing how fast to go for forward flight.When moving up or down,however,the birds based their motor commands on the cast light patterns they saw.(研究人员预计，如果蜂鸟是利用视觉线 索来控制它们向前飞行的速度，那么它们就会通过投射在侧壁上的灯光看到蜂鸟的加速或减 速。但相反，它们似乎有自己的方法知道向前飞行的速度有多快。然而，当它们向上或向下 移动时，它们的运动指令是基于它们看到的投射光模式。)”可知，研究人员测试蜂鸟反应的方 法是通过投射移动的光模式。故选C项。 30.A推理判断题。根据第四段“But instead,it seemed that they had their own way of knowing how fast to go for forward flight.(但相反，它们似乎有自己的方法知道向前飞行的 速度有多快。)”可知，蜂鸟的反应超出了研究者的推断，可推知研究人员对蜂鸟的反应是震惊 的。故选A项。 3l.D推理判断题。根据最后一段“This knowledge could be useful for improving drone(无人 )technology,helping engineers develop better ways for drones to predict and respond to changes in their surroundings..(这些知识可能有助于改进无人机技术，帮助工程师开发出更 好的方法，让无人机预测和应对周围环境的变化。)”可推断出，仿生技术应用更有可能从这项 研究中受益。故选D项。 D 32.C细节理解题。根据第一段“the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans,estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的 东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，这项研究旨在揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C。 33.D推理判断题。根据第三段“However,when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes,checked patterns,or horizontal stripes(水平条纹)，the fish's behavior changed significantly.Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%,while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.( 当条纹图案被改变为更窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。 较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼 缸条纹改变后，鱼对距离的估算不准确了。故选D。 34.C细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to the researchers,the goldfish appeared to be using an‘optic(光学的)flow mechanism'based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled.The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals,including humans,based on angular(有角度的)motion of visual features..(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的‘光学流动机制’。 他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明， 包括人类在内的哺乳动物使用不同的光流机制，这是基于视觉特征的角度运动)”可知，此处 进一步阐明金鱼估计距离的原理，金鱼利用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C。 35.D推理判断题。根据最后一段“This study is novel because,despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance,we don't know how they estimate distances,"Professor Colin Lever,although not involved in the study,said,"it's exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信 息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项 研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早， 也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的”可知，Coln教授对该 研究的态度是积极地，赞成的。故选D。 第二节 36.B"Your brain possesses some incredible abilities,from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease.(你的大脑拥有一些不可思议的能 力，从回忆与密友的对话到轻松解决复杂的数学问题)”说明大脑具备一些不可思议的能力， 以及下文“At times,it may even overlook critical information,resulting in errors that could be bad for your well-being or health.（有时，它甚至可能忽略关键信息，导致可能对你的健康 或幸福不利的错误)”说明大脑也可能忽略关键信息，导致问题的出现，B项“但它并不是那么 8 完美，对不完美开放。”与上文形成转折关系，并引出下文，符合题意。故选B。 37.D"At times,it may even overlook critical information,resulting in errors that could be bad for your well-being or health.(有时，它甚至可能忽略关键信息，导致可能对您的健康 或幸福不利的错误)”说明大脑有时会导致问题的出现，D项errors与上文中的errors为复现 词，D项“但是，通过更好地了解这些错误，您可以避免其中一些错误。”与上文形成转折关系， 引出下文各段落的内容，符合题意。故选D。 38.G"For example,maybe you're terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic,high-profile plane crashes.In reality,traveling by air is much safer than traveling by cr.(例如，也许你害怕飞行，因为你能想到几起悲剧，高调的飞机失事。事实上，乘飞机旅行 比开车旅行安全得多)”以乘坐飞机为例，说明大脑的缺点之一是它会变得懒惰，思维模式会 回到过去行之有效的解决方案上，G项中flying是关键词，G项“然而，你的大脑正在使用一 种心理捷径来欺骗你，让你相信飞行比实际更危险。”说明上文现象出现的原因，符合题意。 故选G。 39.A"Moreover,your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings,a phenomenon referred to as change blindness..(此外，你的大脑可能无法检测 到周围环境发生的重大变化，这种现象被称为变化盲)”说明大脑无法检测周围环境发生的重 大变化这一现象，A项“你的大脑必须优先考虑它所关注的事情。”说明上文现象出现的原因， 并引出下文“Otherwise,it will get overwhelmed.(否则，它将不堪重负)”的结果，符合题意。 故选A。 40.FF"In the process,we twist reality to protect our self-esteem-in other words,we don't want to own up when we mess up.Why do we participate in the blame game? Researchers believe it's to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure..(在这个过程中，我们歪曲现实来保护我们的自尊一换句话说，当我们陷入困境时， 我们不想承认。我们为什么要参与指责游戏？研究人员认为，这是为了保护我们的自尊，保 护自己免受失败的恐惧)”说明我们会指责其他人，以保护自己的自尊，保护自己免受失败的 恐惧，F项“当事情出错时，你的大脑会本能地寻找某人或某事来承担责任。”说明事情出错 时，大脑的本能反应，引出下文这一过程出现的原因，符合题意。故选F。 第三部分语言运用 第一节 4l.C考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，Diana Trujill做到了一她现在是一名工程师，领导着 一个45人的团队，负责最新火星探测器的机械臂。A.Therefore因此；B.Instead相反；C.

That taught me a great lesson.I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time.From then on,I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow.As a result,not only did I finish my tasks on time,but also I felt better because I didn't have to panic at the last minute.At the end of the semester,my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion.Seeing my change,my parents and my sister were so proud of me.It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 附：听力原文 (Text 1) W:Sir,you parked your car in my parking space.You shouldn't have done so.

W:Where will you build the printers? M:Well,we'll just add another line to our factory in Shanghai.Employees are no big deal. Employees here in Australia are too particular about work.Mrs.Ozawa...ten years? That's totally unrealistic.I can't agree with that request. (Text 9) W:Look at the note on the fridge.It must be from Mom. M:Let me see.Mom said she got a call from our grandpa this morning,because something had come up at his house.She didn't have time to cook breakfast.Besides,she wanted us to do housework W:No problem.The summer vacation started yesterday,so you don't have to deal with school work.As for me,I don't need to go to my flower shop,because it is being decorated and won't reopen until next week.Therefore,we're both free today. M:OK.Let's share the housework now.I'll mop the floor and take out the garbage.I leave the laundry and window cleaning to you. W:OK.You've been having back pain lately,so I'll also take care of mopping the floor.What about grocery shopping? M:We can walk to the nearby grocery store when we're done. W:It is closed these days,so Mom has to drive to the far market.But she drove the car to our Grandpa's house today. M:It's simple.Let's take the bus. W:Good idea. (Text 10) W:Handing power tools over to young students could result in some disastrous situations.But if those tools are combined with effective supervision and teaching,the students can learn valuable new skills and might even find a new career path.One such program,in Washington,D.C.,aims to teach woodworking and finished carpentry skills to teens and young adults.It includes a woodshop,completely housed inside a truck,that acts as a kind of "classroom on wheels".The Mobile Woodshop program was started by the nonprofit Zenith Community Arts Foundation.Margery Goldberg,Zenith's director,said the goal of the woodshop is "to get people jobs".Joe Largess is a teacher at the woodshop.He said much of the class centers on teaching students "soft skills".These are skills that are desirable in all jobs,such as teamwork,having a strong work ethic,being able to follow instructions and arriving to work on time.Ryan is a student at the mobile woodshop.Before entering the class,he had some experience working with wood and tools."I wanted to give myself a chance to get better at it.That's why I started the class,"Ryan said.He added that he saw another benefit to learning woodworking:"You can sell some of this stuff and make money from it.” 甘肃省2025年新高考英语模拟测试卷（九） 第一部分 1-5 ACABB 6-10 BABCA 11-15 BBABA 16-20 CBCCA 第二部分阅读 第一节 2l.C细节理解题。题干问管理人员的主要职责是什么。根据第三段中“Depending on which role you choose you could help to increase..or help to project...You might also design..." 可知，根据岗位不同，管理人员可以帮助增加小区的饮用水，可以规划地方文化，可以设计挑 战项目培训年轻的志愿者，从这些内容上可以判断出其主要职责是执行项目计划。故选C。 22.A细节理解题。题干问八月份开始的这个项目将在哪里开展。根据这个表格中4-week甘肃省2025年新高考英语模拟测试卷（八） 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）（湖北省“腾·云”联盟2024一2025学年度上学期八月联 考) 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。 听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.How does the woman probably feel in the end?

C (石家庄市2024年普通高中学校毕业年级教学质量检测)Hummingbirds are small birds but they're the Olympic gymnasts of the flying world.They have strongly muscled bodies and rather long wings.They fly around at remarkable speeds and fly in all directions,including backward and upside down. To achieve such agility(),hummingbirds use distinct modes of visual processing to control different types of flight.Their brains can make rapid transitions from visual signals to motor outputs.They take in lots of complicated visual information and make a flight plan out of that.Recently,the researchers have uncovered a unique mode that guides hummingbirds'speed when they are flying forward. The findings come from an experiment of more than 3,500 hummingbird flights inside a 12-foot-long tunnel()with a branch at one end and a feeder at the other.Moving light patterns cast on the tunnel walls influences how the hummingbirds see things while flying. The researchers expected that if the hummingbirds were using visual clues to control their forward flight speed,they would see the birds speed or slow with lights cast on the side walls. But instead,it seemed that they had their own way of knowing how fast to go for forward flight. When moving up or down,however,the birds based their motor commands on the cast light patterns they saw. This special ability helps hummingbirds fly safely and quickly.This knowledge could be useful for improving drone (technology,helping engineers develop better ways for drones to predict and respond to changes in their surroundings."If we can develop a mathematical model for this visual processing,it could be very useful for drones.says Bo Cheng,a mechanical engineer,at Pennsylvania State University. 28.What contributes most to hummingbirds'agility in flight? A.Their small size and light body. B.Their strong muscles and long wings. C.Their strong sense of direction. D.Their own way to handle what they see. 29.How did the researchers test the hummingbirds'response? A.By placing barriers in the tunnel.B.By changing the position of the feeder. C.By projecting moving light patterns.D.By adjusting the brightness of the tunnel. 30.What did the researchers think of hummingbirds'reaction? A.Surprising. B.Discouraging.C.Satisfactory. D.Amusing. 31.Which field is more likely to benefit from the research? A.Wild bird protection. B.Math-based game design. C.Behavioral and brain science. D.Bio-inspired technology application. D (成都教科院附中高考热身试题)Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank,but they possess a rather complicated navigation system,as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford.Led by Dr.Adelaide Sibeaux,the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish,and potentially humans,estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B,Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2 cm-wide black and white vertical stripes on the walls,connected by similar stripes across the floor.The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70 cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures,under different patterns. Over multiple trials,the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74 cm,give or take 17 cm, when presented with the vertical 2 cm-wide stripes.However,when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes,checked patterns,or horizontal stripes(水平条s纹)， the fish's behavior changed significantly.Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%,while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations. According to the researchers,the goldfish appeared to be using an“optic(光学的)flow mechanism"based on the visual density of their environment.They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled.The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals,including humans, based on angular(有角度的)motion of visual features.The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline. "This study is novel because,despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance,we don't know how they estimate distances,"Professor Colin Lever,although not involved in the study,said,"it's exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals. 32.Why did Dr.Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish? A.To test the accuracy of goldfish's internal GPS. B.To create an advanced navigation system for humans. C.To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances. D.To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans. 33.What can we learn about the experiment? A.People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment. B.The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns. C.Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes. D.The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment. 34.What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? A.Optic flow mechanism is unique to humans. B.Mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish. C.Goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information. D.Visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish. 35.What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study? A.Objective. B.Ambiguous. C.Disapproving. D.Favorable. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Your Brain Deceives You (2024届浙江省台州部分学校高三下学期3月模拟测试卷)Your brain possesses some incredible abilities,from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease.36 At times,it may even overlook critical information,resulting in errors that could be bad for your well-being or health.37 One of the biggest shortcomings of your brain is that it can get lazy.When trying to solve a problem or make a decision,your mind often falls back on solutions that have worked in the past.While using shortcuts can be a useful and effective approach,they can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes.For example,maybe you're terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic,high-profile plane crashes.In reality,traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car.38 Moreover,your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings,a phenomenon referred to as change blindness.39 otherwise,it will get overwhelmed.Seemingly not like a huge problem,it can have major consequences according to some research.For example,people who have jobs like air traffic control can make potentially disastrous errors as a result of change blindness. 40 In the process,we twist reality to protect our self-esteem-in other words,we don't want to own up when we mess up.Why do we participate in the blame game?Researchers believe it's to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure.When adopting this mindset,we attribute negative outcomes to factors beyond our control. A.Your brain has to prioritize what it pays attention to. B.But it is not that perfect and open to imperfections. C.This realization can carry you through some unnecessary errors. D.However,you can avoid some of these errors by acquiring a better understanding of them. E.It goes without saying that your brain is incapable of processing all information at the the same time. F.When something goes wrong,your brain instinctively seeks someone or something to hold responsible. G.However,your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing flying is more dangerous than it is. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (西南大学附中高三2024届全真模拟集训)For a little girl growing up in Colombia in the 1980s,a science career with NASA may have seemed like setting foot on a faraway planet.41 _Diana Trujill has made it-she is a(n)42 now,leading a 45-person team that's responsible for the robotic arm of the latest Mars rover.Born in 1983,even as a young girl, Diana was certain of her passion for science.When she was 17,her dad offered to send her to Miami,Florida to study Aerospace Engineering.Without any 43,she followed her dad's 44.Arriving in the U.S.with just 300,Trujillo had to 45 through school by doing a series of housekeeping jobs.The 46 was definitely not easy,but Trujillo never complained.

I'm the only procrastination in my family.My parents and sister were all born with the do- it-right-now gift.They are always in a rush,as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally,I prefer a more relaxed pace.When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies,saying“Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today,”“No way!”I responded,confidently presenting my research as a defense.It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project.In these cases,delaying a decision can be beneficial.This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them,which could lead to more creative solutions.My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride.My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister's.or so I thought. At school we'd been talking about architecture and design.As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr.Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete.We were expected to choose our materials,construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class.Not only would the winners receive extra credit,but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria."I have no clue how I could get it done,"my friend Nate sighed in despair.I didn't say anything.Not because I shared his anxiety,but because I was not nervous at all.I loved hands-on projects!Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria,I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone.So relaxed was I that I didn't give it a second thought for weeks. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Before I knew it,I had only one day left for the project. That taught me a great lesson.
