But a changing climate and environment are washing away soil and weakening its health. However, most family farmers here, who have owned and worked the land for generations, recognize soil health is crucial in reducing the worst effects of climate change. Wendy Johnson left Iowa to pursue a career in fashion in California in 2002. But when her grandmother passed away, Wendy began thinking about the legacy (家业) of the family farm: She didn’t want to see all the hard work her grandparents and parents put into the land here lost. Thus, in 2010, Wendy returned and began co-managing the family farm, Center View Farm, with her father. Center View Farm was already an early adopter of no-till (免耕) farming then. Tilling the soil actually degrades soil health. Experts estimate the planet loses billions of tons of rich soil each year. This would be a disaster for the world’s food systems unless regenerative agricultural practices, which help fight climate change and grow food while restoring nature, are adopted. For example, in no-till farming, new seeds are planted directly into the residue (残留) of previous crops. But Wendy wanted to do more. Since she moved back, Wendy has been working with Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), a farmer-led nonprofit, to innovate the way her family farms. She managed to plant various cover crops to preserve the richness of the soil. She also attended the field days hosted by PFI that help connect farmers and enable them to learn from each other’s innovations. At one PFI field day, she learned about organic animal raising. Now, while Center View Farm continues to provide the main income stream for her parents, Wendy started Jóia Food & Fiber Farm, a certified organic farm, to test other restorative practices. 4. What motivated Wendy to return to Iowa? A. Her love of her grandmother. B. Her promise to farm with her father. C. Her dream of being a fashion designer. D. Her desire to carry on her family’s work. 5. Why is Center View Farm mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To present a solution to low crop yields. B. To provide a role model for local farmers. C. To introduce a novel way to improve the soil. D. To stress the significance of smart agriculture. 6. What role did Wendy play in the PFI field days? A. An enthusiastic participant. B. A generous sponsor. C. A knowledgeable instructor. D. A responsible organizer. 7. What does Wendy’s practice indicate? A. Cover crops matter a lot. B. Organic change occurs naturally. C. Land is the lasting legacy. D. Sustainable farming is climate action. C Think of evolution (进化), and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine. Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.” Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new — the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter - gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. Still not convinced? “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live?” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you — your community, your nation, your technologies.” Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. 8. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short. 9. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution? A. By giving an example of medical advances. B. By mentioning the origin of human society. C By citing the opinions of different researchers. D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas. 10. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4? A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical. 11. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change. C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony. D For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B. They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making 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。 Keep Skin Cancer At Bay “You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words.

Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families. One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown. After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom. “They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life. The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded. 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。 Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything seemed to change after that art show. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语测试 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。主要讲述了美国爱荷华州受气候变化影响土壤受损，温迪为延续家族农场事业返乡，采用免耕法、种植覆盖作物等可持续农业方式，助力应对气候变化。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But when her grandmother passed away, Wendy began thinking about the legacy (家业) of the family farm: She didn’t want to see all the hard work her grandparents and parents put into the land here lost. (但当她的祖母去世后，温迪开始思考家庭农场的遗产：她不想看到祖父母和父母在这片土地上付出的所有辛勤劳动付之一篑。)”可知，温迪想继承家族事业的愿望促使她回到爱荷华州。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Center View Farm was already an early adopter of no - till (免耕) farming then. Tilling the soil actually degrades soil health. Experts estimate the planet loses billions of tons of rich soil each year. This would be a disaster for the world’s food systems unless regenerative agricultural practices, which help fight climate change and grow food while restoring nature, are adopted. For example, in no - till farming, new seeds are planted directly into the residue (残留) of previous crops. (当时Center View农场已经是一个较早采用免耕农业的农场。耕作实际上会降低土壤的健康。专家估计，地球每年损失数十亿吨肥沃的土壤。除非采用有助于应对气候变化和在恢复自然的同时种植粮食的可再生农业做法，否则这对世界粮食系统将是一场灾难。例如，在免耕农业中，新的种子直接播种到以前作物的残余物中。)”可推知，提到Center View农场是为了引进一种改良土壤的新方法。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“She also attended the field days hosted by PFI that help connect farmers and enable them to learn from each other’s innovations. At one PFI field day, she learned about organic animal raising. (她还参加了由PFI主办的实地日活动，帮助农民建立联系，使他们能够相互学习彼此的创新。在一次PFI实地考察日，她学习了有机动物饲养。)”可知，温迪在PFI领域扮演热心参与者的角色。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Iowa has long been known as the heartland of farming in the U. S. But a changing climate and environment are washing away soil and weakening its health. However, most family farmers here, who have owned and worked the land for generations, recognize soil health is crucial in reducing the worst effects of climate change. (爱荷华州长期以来一直被认为是美国农业的中心地带，但不断变化的气候和环境正在冲刷土壤，削弱其健康。然而，这里的大多数世代拥有并耕种土地的家庭农民认识到，土壤健康对于减少气候变化的最坏影响至关重要。)”可知，全文核心逻辑为“气候变化威胁土壤健康→家族农场采用免耕法→温迪进一步创新，种植覆盖作物、发展有机农业，践行再生农业”。由此可推知，温迪的实践说明了通过可持续农业应对气候变化。故选D项。 C Think of evolution (进化), and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine. Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.” Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new — the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter - gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. Still not convinced? “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live?” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you — your community, your nation, your technologies.” Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. 8. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short. 9. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution? A. By giving an example of medical advances. B. By mentioning the origin of human society. C. By citing the opinions of different researchers. D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas. 10. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4? A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical. 11. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change. C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇打破人们对进化的传统认知（达尔文自然选择与基因决定），提出核心观点：当前人类的进化历程由文化而非基因主导。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. (尽管基因在我们过去的进化中推动了最根本性的变化，但这一过程是incremental。相比之下，文化进化可以在通过一项法律的时间内发生。)”可知，基因进化与文化进化形成鲜明对比，文化进化速度极快，因此“incremental”应表示与“快速”相反的含义。选项B“渐进的”符合对比逻辑，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. (当我们看到预期寿命延长时，这往往不是基因的结果，而更可能是医疗保健和其他相关领域进步的产物。)” 可知，作者通过“医疗进步使人类预期寿命延长”这一具体实例，直观体现了文化进化对人类的重要影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Waring的提问“Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live? (问问自己：对你的个人生活结果而言，你与生俱来的基因和你生活的国家，哪个更重要？)” 以及后续明确结论“Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you (如今，你的福祉越来越少地由个人生理因素决定，越来越多地由你周围的文化系统决定)” 可知，Waring的语气坚定且有说服力，充满自信。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. (一些专家认为，我们正在走向一个未来，所有的人类将作为一个单一的单位，就像一个蚁群一样。伍德和韦林不相信我们已经到了那个地步，但他们预测，从长远来看，文化对人类进化的影响将继续增长，直到基因成为次要的，最终由文化控制。)” 可知，该段核心聚焦于文化在未来对人类进化的主导地位。故选C。 D For some readers a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B. They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象，分析了其原因，探讨了词典编纂者的未来，并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本：现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中，记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革：“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释，皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意，抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站，凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知，网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义，从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时，已无法确定，人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久，来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知，作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久，由此可推知，现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊，也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知，作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会，是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(我们无法断言人类仍需要实体词典。正如百科全书与地图册，其中最优秀的早已迁移至线上。事实上，多数搜索引擎的起点正是专家编纂的词典与百科全书。但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊，也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知，文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象，并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视，认为它们是无比珍贵的时光胶囊，是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一，A项“A Word in Favor of Dictionaries(为纸质词典正名)”概括了文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选A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。 Keep Skin Cancer At Bay “You have skin cancer.” No one wants to hear such scary words.

Marking 39. ambitious 40. is expected 41. an 42. has been 43. which 44. uses 45. easier 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了由荷兰公司改造的全球首个涡轮机住宅Nestle。文章阐述了该住宅的设计特点、改造来源于20年退役涡轮机，强调其作为升级改造范例的意义。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：在这个仅35平方米的紧凑空间里，玻璃门窗营造出令人惊讶地明亮通风的环境。此处修饰形容词light and airy，需用副词形式，surprising的副词是surprisingly（令人惊讶地）。故填surprisingly。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Nestle由一台有20年历史的退役涡轮机改造而成，该涡轮机由一家荷兰公司捐赠，这家公司专门收购二手涡轮机进行再利用。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，turbine与donate之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填donated。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示，这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设，Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例，展示了升级改造的可能性。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，此处表示“作为首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设”，与主语Nestle之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，句首单词首字母大写。故填Marking。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示，这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设，Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例，展示了升级改造的可能性。此处修饰名词demonstration，需用形容词形式，ambition的形容词是ambitious（雄心勃勃的）。故填ambitious。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：随着全球陆上和海上风电产业的蓬勃发展，未来几十年涡轮机废弃物预计将快速增长。句子描述客观预测，用一般现在时；turbine waste与expect之间是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，waste为不可数名词，助动词用is。故填is expected。 【41题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：克里格希望像Nestle这样的项目能为退役涡轮机提供一种报废后的替代处理方案。此处表示“一种替代方案”，表泛指，end-of-life以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极，该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段，计划首批生产约10套微型住宅，这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。根据时间状语So far可知，句子用现在完成时；主语the response为单数，助动词用has。故填has been。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：到目前为止，人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极，该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段，计划首批生产约10套微型住宅，这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子（“公司筹备批量生产”这件事），在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现，就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主，这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。use作“用途”讲时是可数名词，前面有more修饰，用复数形式。故填uses。 【45题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现，就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主，这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，意为“越……，越……”，easy的比较级是easier。故填easier。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英语广播站计划推出一档新栏目“每日金曲 (Song of the Day)”。请你给栏目负责人Mr. Smith写一封邮件，内容包括： (1) 你的看法； (2) 你的建议。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Smith, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m truly excited about the upcoming program “Song of the Day”.

Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families. One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown. After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom. “They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life. The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded. 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。 Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Everything seemed to change after that art show. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. She introduced herself to all of us formally on the stage, including her name, her hometown, her interests and so on. Following is her beautiful and amazing dance. As she was dancing, another student called Mike, began to play the violin as her background music. Such a shy and silent boy is he that they never know he is good at playing the violin. Students off the stage clapped their hands loudly as the final note ended. And then, they began to come to the stage and share their stories one by one. The art show lasted for two hours that day and everyone enjoyed it so much. Everything seemed to change after that art show. They began to communicate with others and make new friends. Besides, they took part in the class and school activities actively, which made them integrate into the new class and school better. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Amanda通过和朋友Rama聊天，了解到班上很多新同学都来自各个不同地方，他们无法很好地与同学沟通，只能孤独地坐在教室后面，Amanda想帮助他们，但又不得其法，最后通过艺术来帮助他们融入班级的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，拉玛站出来打破了僵局。”可知，第一段可描述Rama站出来打破僵局后发生的故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“艺术展览之后一切都变了。”可知，第二段可描述艺术展览之后同学们发生的变化。 2.续写线索：打破僵局——分享故事——踊跃上台——发生变化——积极参与班级活动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap the hands / applaud ②参加活动：take part in activities / participate in activities 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：amazing / surprising / astonishing ②害羞的：shy / bashful 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she was dancing, another student called Mike, began to play the violin as her background music.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Such a shy and silent boy is he that they never know he is good at playing the violin.(运用了such…that…引导的结果状语从句和部分倒装) 【高分句型3】Besides, they took part in the class and school activities actively, which made them integrate into the new class and school better.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
