He had already had his first show at a local art center. showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence. Yet he wanted more—specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, an exhibition with judges, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the smallest age for submission was 18. However, being refused became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea—creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first show with judges was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled “Pokemon”. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their works. B. To form the association between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 6. What kind of person is Nalin according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. 7. What can we learn from Nalin Kamat’s story? A. Wisdom arises from experience. B. Everything comes to those who wait. C. Luck matters to one’s career success. D. Innovative thoughts increase one’s chances. C If you consider yourself reasonably intelligent and educated, you might assume that you understand how the world works - from everyday inventions to natural phenomena. But think about this: How does a toilet flush? Why can sunny days be colder than cloudy days? Could you give a detailed answer, or only a vague (模糊的) idea? Many people, when asked to explain, are completely at a loss. This bias is known as an “illusion of knowledge. The concept was first identified in 2002 by Rozenblit and Keil at Yale, the phenomenon was revealed through studies where participants rated how well they thought they could explain scientific processes before writing in-depth explanations. Initially confident, many produced only sketchy accounts and were surprised by how little they knew. The Yale researchers argued that this overconfidence arose from the ease of visualising processes – such as picturing a helicopter’s flight — which created a false sense of understanding. Later studies showed that having online resources at our fingertips may feed our overconfidence, as we mistake the wealth of knowledge on the internet for our own memories. The illusion of knowledge does not remain restricted to scientific curiosities. It can shape our decisions and behaviour on a daily basis. In the workplace, for example, it may lead us to overstate our expertise in interviews, overlook the contributions of our colleagues and take on jobs for which we are ill-prepared. What can people do to avoid these pitfalls (陷阱)? One simple solution is to test yourself. If you are assessing your ability to handle an unfamiliar task, don’t rely on a vague sense of what it involves. Instead, think carefully through each step, and you may discover significant gaps to address before acting. It also helps to talk with an expert, who can help you check false assumptions. Given the role of online habits, pause and try to recall a fact before searching. Feeling the discomfort of ignorance can foster a more realistic view of what you truly know. The aim, with all of this, is to cultivate a little more humility — one of the classic“intellectual virtues” celebrated by philosophers. By recognising our illusions of knowledge and admitting the limits of our understanding, we may all sidestep some unfortunate thinking traps to enjoy wiser decision making. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a contrast. B. By quoting an expert. C. By providing background. D. By explaining reasons. 9. Which daily habit most likely fuels the illusion of knowledge? A. Watching short videos for entertainment. B. Memorizing vocabulary lists without practice. C. Bookmarking articles instead of reading them. D. Downloading lecture PPTs as learning materials. 10. What does paragraph 3 focus on regarding the illusion of knowledge? A. Its roles in job-hunting markets. B. Its consequences in everyday life. C. Its significance in work environment. D. Its demonstration in scientific studies. 11. What can help us cultivate the “intellectual virtues”? A. Handling unfamiliar tasks. B. Hiding personal ignorance. C. Identifying knowledge gaps. D. Challenging philosophers’ ideas. D From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blin d passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Rom a and AedoProject—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows. The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing. “As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo.-one director of GTBRoma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stituations for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.” The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action. 12 How does the smart car window work? A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera. C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors. 13. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russø? A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first. C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages. 14. What difficulty is Ford facing currently? A. How to explore their future business model. B. How the technology is applied to everyday life. C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers. D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive C. Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views D. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip Enjoyable 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。 Can't Resist Junk Food? Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick You're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken!____16____A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices. Let's take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes?____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g,cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).____18____That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food. ____19____When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire. So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____ A. But wait a minute before you order. B. It's a response that has been researched. C. Get the satisfaction with none of the calories. D. It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago. E. However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food. F. It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied. G. The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste. 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 12-year-old girl from Michigan is fighting for making laws to build public restrooms more accessible for the disabled.

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard, she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2027届高二上学期期中考试 英语试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍， 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了文章讲述 13 岁少年纳林因年龄限制无法参加评审展览，转而创办画廊为年轻艺术家提供展示平台，最终获得成功的故事，强调“创新思维”“将挫折转化为机会”的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist.( 纳林·卡马特（Nalin Kamat）13岁时，这位多伦多少年已经在成为一名职业艺术的道路上走得很好。)”以及第二段中“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the smallest age for submission was 18.( 就在这时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请的最后一行中，他发现提交申请的最小年龄是18岁。)”可知，他因年龄限制被取消了参加评审展览的资格。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.( 现年15岁的纳林说：“我想，如果我能给更多年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太酷了。”在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，成立了Little EGG画廊。现在，通过对展出的作品收取少量挂费，这家画廊已经盈利，足以维持收支平衡。反过来，Little EGG通过展示他们的作品来帮助推广年轻人才。)”可知，纳林决定设立Little EGG画廊是因为想通过给年轻艺术家提供舞台来展示他们的才华。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world. ”(开业后不久, 安大略艺术与设计大学教授兼艺术家大卫•格里芬走进画廊, 见到了纳林。格里芬认为他是个特别的人：“一个很有想法的年轻艺术家——创造一个展示年轻人天赋的空间。这在艺术界是一个空白。”)”体现纳林的创造性；以及最后一段“As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.( 由于纳林忙于学业、生活和自己的艺术，Little EGG基本上只接受预约开放，但他仍然致力于通过每年安排几次季节性和主题展览来发展它。)”体现纳林的专注投入。由此可推知，纳林是一个有奉献精神和有创造力的人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，纳林因年龄限制被评审展拒绝，创新性地创办画廊为年轻艺术家提供平台，画廊获得成功并得到专业人士认可。核心是“创新思维（将挫折转化为机会，创办专属年轻艺术家的画廊）带来成功”。由此可推知，我们能从纳林·卡马特的故事中学到创新的思想增加机会。故选D项。 C If you consider yourself reasonably intelligent and educated, you might assume that you understand how the world works - from everyday inventions to natural phenomena. But think about this: How does a toilet flush? Why can sunny days be colder than cloudy days? Could you give a detailed answer, or only a vague (模糊的) idea? Many people, when asked to explain, are completely at a loss. This bias is known as an “illusion of knowledge. The concept was first identified in 2002 by Rozenblit and Keil at Yale, the phenomenon was revealed through studies where participants rated how well they thought they could explain scientific processes before writing in-depth explanations. Initially confident, many produced only sketchy accounts and were surprised by how little they knew. The Yale researchers argued that this overconfidence arose from the ease of visualising processes – such as picturing a helicopter’s flight — which created a false sense of understanding. Later studies showed that having online resources at our fingertips may feed our overconfidence, as we mistake the wealth of knowledge on the internet for our own memories. The illusion of knowledge does not remain restricted to scientific curiosities. It can shape our decisions and behaviour on a daily basis. In the workplace, for example, it may lead us to overstate our expertise in interviews, overlook the contributions of our colleagues and take on jobs for which we are ill-prepared. What can people do to avoid these pitfalls (陷阱)? One simple solution is to test yourself. If you are assessing your ability to handle an unfamiliar task, don’t rely on a vague sense of what it involves. Instead, think carefully through each step, and you may discover significant gaps to address before acting. It also helps to talk with an expert, who can help you check false assumptions. Given the role of online habits, pause and try to recall a fact before searching. Feeling the discomfort of ignorance can foster a more realistic view of what you truly know. The aim, with all of this, is to cultivate a little more humility — one of the classic“intellectual virtues” celebrated by philosophers. By recognising our illusions of knowledge and admitting the limits of our understanding, we may all sidestep some unfortunate thinking traps to enjoy wiser decision making. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a contrast. B. By quoting an expert. C. By providing background. D. By explaining reasons. 9. Which daily habit most likely fuels the illusion of knowledge? A. Watching short videos for entertainment. B. Memorizing vocabulary lists without practice. C. Bookmarking articles instead of reading them. D. Downloading lecture PPTs as learning materials. 10. What does paragraph 3 focus on regarding the illusion of knowledge? A. Its roles in job-hunting markets. B. Its consequences in everyday life. C. Its significance in work environment. D. Its demonstration in scientific studies. 11. What can help us cultivate the “intellectual virtues”? A. Handling unfamiliar tasks. B. Hiding personal ignorance. C. Identifying knowledge gaps. D. Challenging philosophers’ ideas. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示了“知识错觉”现象——人们常把可随手搜索的信息误当成自身知识，并给出自测、请教专家和先回忆再搜索等应对策略，倡导谦逊求知。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you consider yourself reasonably intelligent and educated, you might assume that you understand how the world works - from everyday inventions to natural phenomena. But think about this: How does a toilet flush? Why can sunny days be colder than cloudy days? Could you give a detailed answer, or only a vague idea? Many people, when asked to explain, are completely at a loss. This bias is known as an“illusion of knowledge.”(如果你自认为还算聪明且受过良好教育，你可能会认为自己了解世界是如何运转的——从日常发明到自然现象。但请想一想：马桶是如何冲水的？为什么晴天会比阴天更冷？你能给出详细的解释，还是只能有个模糊的概念？许多人被问到这些问题时，都完全不知所措。这种偏差被称为“知识错觉”。)”可知，作者先用“你自以为了解冲水马桶、晴天为何比阴天冷”等日常现象设问，再指出多数人其实答不出细节，从而引出“知识错觉”主题，属于通过对比引入话题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。第二段末句提到“Later studies showed that having online resources at our fingertips may feed our overconfidence, as we mistake the wealth of knowledge on the internet for our own memories.(后来的研究表明，唾手可得的网络资源可能会助长我们的过度自信，因为我们把互联网上的知识财富误认为是我们自己的记忆。)”，日常习惯有可能助长知识错觉的是将网上可随手搜到的信息误当成自己的知识；与之最接近的日常习惯是“收藏文章却不去阅读”。 故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容“The illusion of knowledge does not remain restricted to scientific curiosities. It can shape our decisions and behaviour on a daily basis. In the workplace, for example, it may lead us to overstate our expertise in interviews, overlook the contributions of our colleagues and take on jobs for which we are ill-prepared.(对知识的幻觉并不局限于对科学的好奇心。它可以影响我们每天的决定和行为。例如，在工作场所，它可能会导致我们在面试中夸大自己的专业知识，忽视同事的贡献，并承担我们准备不足的工作。)”可知，第三段主要聚焦知识错觉“对日常生活的影响”。 故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“What can people do to avoid these pitfalls ? One simple solution is to test yourself. If you are assessing your ability to handle an unfamiliar task, don’t rely on a vague sense of what it involves. Instead, think carefully through each step, and you may discover significant gaps to address before acting.(人们怎样才能避免这些陷阱呢？一个简单的解决办法就是测试你自己。如果你在评估自己处理一项不熟悉的任务的能力，不要依赖于对任务内容的模糊认识。相反，仔细考虑每一步，你可能会发现在行动之前需要解决的重大差距。)”和最后一段“The aim, with all of this, is to cultivate a little more humility – one of the classic“intellectual virtues” celebrated by philosophers. By recognising our illusions of knowledge and admitting the limits of our understanding, we may all sidestep some unfortunate thinking traps to enjoy wiser decision making.(这样做的目的是为了培养更多的谦逊——这是哲学家们所推崇的经典“智力美德”之一。通过认识到我们对知识的错觉，承认我们理解的局限性，我们都可以避开一些不幸的思维陷阱，享受更明智的决策。)”可知，，识别并正视自己的知识缺口能帮助我们培养“智力美德”。 故选C项。 D From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blin d passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Rom a and AedoProject—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows. The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing. “As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo.-one director of GTBRoma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stituations for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.” The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action. 12. How does the smart car window work? A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera. C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors. 13. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russø? A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first. C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages. 14. What difficulty is Ford facing currently? A. How to explore their future business model. B. How the technology is applied to everyday life. C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers. D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive C. Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views D. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip Enjoyable 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。福特公司联合GTB Roma和Aedo Project研发了一款智能车窗，帮助盲人感受旅途中的风景，带给盲人全新的旅行体验。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it.(智能车窗的原型有一个面向外部的摄像头。只需按下一个按钮，系统就会拍下当前视图的照片。然后通过不同震动的LED灯将彩色图像转换成不同灰度的图像。当手指经过图像的不同区域时，它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈)”可知，智能车窗通过将风景转化为振动，它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stitutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”(他认为，这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车。“它可以作为一种工具引入学校和盲人机构，可以以多种方式使用。”)”可知，Federico Russo认为，这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车，还可以作为一种多用途的工具引入盲人学校和为盲人服务的机构。由此可推知，Federico Russo认为这项技术有广泛的应用价值。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another.

Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick You're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken!____16____A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices. Let's take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes?____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g,cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).____18____That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food. ____19____When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire. So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____ A. But wait a minute before you order. B. It's a response that has been researched. C. Get the satisfaction with none of the calories. D. It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago. E. However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food. F. It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied. G. The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文，介绍了几项抵制垃圾食品诱惑的技巧。 【16题详解】 根据下一句“A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices."可知，暴露在垃圾食品中至少两分钟会帮助你选择健康食品，所以本句与等待时间有关，表达“但是在预定之前先等一下”。故A选项“但是在预定之前先等一下”切题。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据前文连发的两个问句可知，垃圾食品在第一次被闻到时非常吸引人，那么在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?根据下一句可知，这恰恰是要离开的时刻，可知，本句在表达“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了。”故D选项“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了”切题。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据本段开头提示，可知一系列的实验结果表明暴露在垃圾食品的气味中多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降，在进行客观结果描述，所以排除易错选项F，同时，下一句在解释闻到气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。可知空处所在句要表达大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故G选项“大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显”切题。故选选G。 【19题详解】 从下一句“当检测健康食物的气味时，食物选择并没有受到很大的影响。”可以得知空格内容与健康食物的气味相关，并且表达转折的语义。故E选项“然而，健康食物的味道就不一样了。”切题。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前句“it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two."（最简单的方法是坐在那里闻上一两分钟香甜的味道）与选项中“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied. (闻到味道与吃到它是一样可以满足愿望的。)承接自然，话题一致。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的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 12-year-old girl from Michigan is fighting for making laws to build public restrooms more accessible for the disabled.

This mix of daily life and a taste for luxury enriches Chinese cuisine, ____45____ (leave) a lasting impression on readers. 【答案】36. who 37. consists 38. to 39. merely 40. acceptance  41. remarkable 42. to appreciate 43. an 44. is reflected  45. leaving 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了《鱼翅与花椒》一书以及作家对中国美食的探索。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：《鱼翅与花椒》是英国作家Fuchsia Dunlop关于中国烹饪的一本书，她花了大约15年的时间探索中国及其多样的饮食文化。本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Fuchsia Dunlop，指人，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。故填who。 【37题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这本书由16章组成，每一章都有一个实用的食谱。consist of“包括，由……组成”。此处描述的是一般事实，所以时态用一般现在时，且主语The book是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用consist的第三人称单数形式。故填consists。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：邓洛普从遥远的甘肃乡村探索到历史悠久的扬州美食。from... to...“从……到……”，为固定短语，其中to为介词。故填to。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：她不仅仅是呈现食物，而是沉浸其中品尝，更重要的是对其进行研究。此处修饰动词presenting，所以用副词merely“仅仅”，作状语。故填merely。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：从惊讶到接受，邓洛普通过学做和尝试不同的中国食物（包括海参和蝎子），开始了她的美食之旅，尽管她平时的饮食偏好并非如此。from... to...“从……到……”，为固定短语，其中to为介词，本空作to的宾语，所以此处用名词acceptance“接受”。故填acceptance。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这本非凡的书提供了一段从简单描述四川花椒到严肃讨论与昂贵食物（如鱼翅）相关的动物虐待等话题的激动人心的旅程。此处修饰名词book，作定语，所以形容词用remarkable“非凡的”。故填remarkable。 【42题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：读者也被鼓励从一个局外人的角度欣赏食物之外的生活的其他方面。本句谓语为are encouraged，此处为非谓语动词，encourage sb. to do sth.表示“鼓励某人做某事”，本空用appreciate“欣赏”的不定式。故填to appreciate。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：读者也被鼓励从一个局外人的角度欣赏食物之外的生活的其他方面。此处泛指“一个局外人”，且outsider是发音以元音音素开头的单词，所以不定冠词用an。故填an。 【44题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：这种双重性在书名中得到了体现：四川花椒代表日常活力，而鱼翅则代表高端奢华。本句描述的一般事实，所以时态用一般现在时，且主语This duality与reflect“反映，显示”为被动关系，句子用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为 第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is reflected。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种日常生活与奢华品味的结合丰富了中国美食，给读者留下了深刻的印象。本句谓语为enriches，此处为非谓语动词，且This mix与leave“留下”为主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语。故填leaving。 第四部分 写作(满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你班最近就“Electronic dictionary pens VS Traditional paper dictionaries”展开了热烈讨论，同学们观点不一。请你写一篇发言稿，在英语课上发言，内容包括： 1.你的选择及理由； 2.发出倡议。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear classmates, Our discussion on dictionary tools was really inspiring. For me, electronic dictionary pens are my top choice. They’re lightweight to carry, and with a quick scan, we get accurate meanings instantly — no more flipping through thick paper dictionaries when reading. Their built-in audio also lets us learn correct pronunciations right away. But paper dictionaries, with detailed examples, help us grasp word usage deeply. I suggest combining both: use pens for speed and paper ones for in-depth learning. Let’s make tools work better for us!

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon, Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That night, Callie woke up suddenly. The weak cries filled her mind. She couldn’t rest. Quietly, she put on her coat, took a flashlight and slipped out. Inside the barn, near the hay stacks, Callie held her breath, listening with full attention. Then, it came: Meow... meow... Her flashlight beam swept across the bales. There! Near the bottom of a tall stack, she spotted a tiny movement-a small patch of gray fur barely visible between two enormous bales. She rushed over and pushed the bales again, but they wouldn’t move. “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. She raced back home and quickly awoke Ben and their father. Seeing Callie’s worried face and absolute certainty, they both hurried with her back to the barn. Working together, Ben and their father carefully moved the heavy hay bales which Callie pointed at. Eventually, a narrow passage was revealed. There was a tiny gray kitten, its eyes wide with fright. Trembling and exhausted, it let out another pitiful meow. Carefully, Callie’s father reached in and gently held the little creature out. Callie’s heart swelled with relief and joy as she looked at the rescued kitten, safe and warm in her father’s large, gentle hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述10岁女孩卡莉在农场畜棚听到干草堆里有小猫叫声，两次恳求父亲和哥哥查看遭疑，他们分别认为是风声、老鼠或猫头鹰，卡莉虽失望但仍坚信有小猫被困，内心不安。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“那天晚上，卡莉突然醒来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉夜探谷仓，用手电筒发现干草堆底部有小灰猫，推干草捆却推不动。 ②由第二段首句内容“卡莉心想：‘我别无选择，只能找人帮忙！’”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉叫醒父兄帮忙，三人挪开干草捆救出受惊小猫，卡莉见状欣慰喜悦。 2.续写线索：卡莉夜探谷仓——发现小灰猫——寻求父兄帮忙——救出受惊小猫——感到欣慰喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.休息：rest/take a rest ②.看见：spot/see ③颤抖：tremble/ shake 情绪类 ①.担心的：worried/concerned ②.快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].
