B The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A. Shame. B. Regret. C. Glory. D. Responsibility. 25. In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The sports talent from her father. C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The training offered by her father. 26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She continued her passion for sports. B. She preferred reading to working out. C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the article? A. To show her father’s guidance on sports. B. To express her love for sports and fitness. C. To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports. C Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 28. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A. Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 29. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 30. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A. By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D. How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? D The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B. To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B. How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen，but not today. At the sound of his mom coughing，Tony knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern，“Mom，are you OK？” “Honey，” Mom said weakly. “I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal（燕麦）for breakfast and watch cartoons. I'm going to stay in bed. ” Tony poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Tony help？First，he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly，so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do？Tony thought. Sunday was the day when mom did laundry. Tony loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket，inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress，among other clothes and a pair of red socks. Tony opened the door to the washer and put the clothes inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times，so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally，he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START". Tony looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in，and the machine was starting to spin，making his clothing tumble around. That was easy!. Tony watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep. That meant the washing was done. Tony opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer. Everything seemed clean，and Tony felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress. 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。 But as far as he could remember，there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tony nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again，with the pink dress in her arms. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 呼铁一中2025-2026学年第一学期期末考试高二英语试卷 出题人： (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) 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。 例:How much is the shirt?

In the 2000s. 20. What were the Gili Islands like before? A. There was much waste. B. There was plenty of fresh water. C. There were a lot of wild animals. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】 W: The Gili Islands are three small islands off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia. The islands are popular with tourists. Cars and motorbikes are not allowed, and people get around on foot or by bicycle. There is beautiful ocean life around the islands. People only began to live on the islands in the 1970s. Before that, there wasn’t much fresh water, and the islands were full of wild animals. Some travelers discovered the islands in the 1980s and tourism began to develop. In 2000, an organization called the Gili Eco Trust was set up to help protect the areas around the islands. From then on, many other organizations have been set up to educate people about problems on the islands, such as waste and overfishing. The islands cannot be reached by plane, so people have to take boats directly from Lombok to get there. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Children’s Discovery Museum General Information about Group Play Pricing Group Play $7/person Scholarships We offer scholarships to low-income schools and youth organizations, subject to availability.

Participation in a post-visit survey is required.(我们会视情况而定，为低收入学校和青年组织提供奖学金，并需要其参与访问后调查问卷)”可知，如果一个团体获得了奖学金，需要在参加一个访后的调查问卷，与选项C“Take a survey after the visit.(接受参观后的问卷调查)”属于同义替换，故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Group Size”标题下“We require one chaperone (监护人) per ten children.(我们要求每十个孩子有一个监护人)”可知，10个孩子需要1个监护人，那么30个孩子则需要3个监护人。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Guidelines”标题下“Children are not allowed unaccompanied in all areas of the Museum.(无人陪伴的儿童不得进入博物馆的所有区域)”可知，儿童必须在监护人陪伴下才能进入博物馆，即儿童不能单独进入博物馆进行探索。与选项D“Exploring the place alone.(独自探索博物馆)”属于同义替换，故选D。 B The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A. Shame. B. Regret. C. Glory. D. Responsibility. 25. In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The sports talent from her father. C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The training offered by her father. 26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She continued her passion for sports. B. She preferred reading to working out. C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the article? A. To show her father’s guidance on sports. B. To express her love for sports and fitness. C. To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从童年到成年对体育从疏远到热爱的过程。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. (就我的年龄而言，我个子矮小，而且我更喜欢读书，而不是体育运动。我曾遭受过一种特别的humiliation，在各种体育运动队中，我都是最后一个被选中的)”可知，作者提到她曾经因为体型较小而经常成为体育团队中最后被挑选的一员，这让她感到羞愧、羞耻。humiliation在这里的意思是“羞愧，羞耻”。A. Shame羞愧，羞耻；B. Regret遗憾；C. Glory荣耀；D. Responsibility责任。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. (这要归功于我的第一个教练，我的父亲。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们每个人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏。秋天来临时，我们的后院足球比赛开始于传球练习)”可知，在作者看来，她父亲提供的训练导致了她在垒球投掷项目中的胜利。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. (当我上大学时，我和室友甚至养成了每天完成加拿大皇家空军（RCAF）训练的习惯，当我们没有多余的钱去参加健身房时，这种习惯一直持续到我结婚)”和最后一段中“So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. (因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的)”可知，成年后作者继续保持着对运动的热情。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中“The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. (我第一次意识到我对体育比赛的热爱是在小学的体育比赛日期间)”和最后一段中“So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. (因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达她对运动和健身的热爱。故选B。 C Surrounded by towering redwoods on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the coastal city of Santa Cruz, some 70 miles south of San Francisco, is a great place for a young person to experience nature. That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said. One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere. Most of us are aware that cows release methane, but wetlands are also a major source of the gas. Wetlands host a community of microbes (微生物), including Archaea, which generate methane as a byproduct when they consume and digest components of organic matter. These microbes grow in oxygen-free environments like wet soils, which typically occur in the wetlands’ deeper levels. However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat (泥炭) and soil near the surface. To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions. To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.The result is the creation of far more methane than expected. Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production. 28. What motivated Zhang to study environmental issues? A. Her childhood experiences. B. The adventure in nature. C. Her educational background. D. The pressure from fellows. 29. Why did Zhang analyze microbes in the wetland soil? A. To examine the condition of surface soil. B. To explore the impact of methane on microbes. C. To study the role of oxygen in methane production. D. To calculate the amount of methane released by cows. 30. How might the findings help reduce methane from wetlands? A. By changing soil structures. B. By introducing new microbes. C. By blocking harmful chemicals. D. By adjusting soil oxygen levels. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How Does Methane Affect Climate Change? B. What Drives Methane Production in Wetlands? C. What Is the Link Between Oxygen and Methane? D. How Do Wetlands Contribute to Microbial Diversity? 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地球科学助理教授张新宁（音译）对湿地甲烷产生原因的研究，包括氧气在甲烷产生过程中的作用等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That’s where Xinning Zhang, assistant professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, spent her childhood. “Growing up there, you just can’t help thinking and caring about the environment,” she said.(那就是地球科学和普林斯顿环境研究所助理教授张新宁度过童年的地方。她说：“在那里长大，你不由自主地就会去思考和关心环境问题。”)”可知，张新宁童年在圣克鲁兹这个地方成长，在那里的经历促使她思考和关心环境问题，所以是她的童年经历促使她研究环境问题。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To explore this phenomenon, Zhang and her team analyzed peat samples collected from a wetland in the Northeast U.S. One set of samples received oxygen treatment followed by incubation (培养) under oxygen-free conditions. The other samples remained in an oxygen-free environment for the entire study period. Contrary to expectations, the oxygen-treated peats produced a higher amount of methane than the peats maintained under continuously oxygen-free conditions.(为了探究这一现象，张和她的团队分析了从美国东北部一个湿地采集的泥炭样本。一组样本接受了氧气处理，然后在无氧条件下进行培养。另一组样本在整个研究期间都处于无氧环境中。与预期相反，经过氧气处理的泥炭产生的甲烷量比持续无氧条件下的泥炭要多)”以及第四段“To find out why, the researchers analyzed all the microbes found in the peat samples. They found that oxygen stimulated some microbes to break down harmful chemicals, which would otherwise threaten the entire microbial community, including methane-producing Archaea.(为了找出原因，研究人员分析了泥炭样本中发现的所有微生物。他们发现氧气刺激了一些微生物分解有害化学物质，否则这些化学物质会威胁到整个微生物群落，包括产生甲烷的古细菌)”可知，张分析湿地土壤中的微生物是为了探究氧气在甲烷产生过程中所起的作用。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Zhang’s work suggests that oxygen variability is an important control on wetland methane production. Her team is also exploring further how oxygen variability for different lengths of time, and how different soil chemistries influence microbial methane production.(张的研究表明，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素。她的团队还在进一步探索不同时间长度的氧气变化，以及不同的土壤化学成分如何影响微生物产生甲烷)”可知，氧气的变化是控制湿地甲烷产生的重要因素，所以可以通过调整土壤的氧气水平来减少湿地甲烷的产生。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段中的“One of the environmental questions Zhang is exploring is why methane, a significant greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere.(张新宁正在探索的环境问题之一是：甲烷作为一种重要的温室气体，为何在大气中的含量正在增加)”和第二段中的“ However, researchers have been surprised to find that quite a lot of methane comes from the oxygen-rich peat ( 泥炭) and soil near the surface.(然而，研究人员惊讶地发现，相当多的甲烷来自（湿地）地表附近富含氧气的泥炭和土壤)”以及下文中张新宁和她的团队为此所做的研究可知，文章主要讲述了张新宁对湿地产生甲烷的研究，包括湿地中微生物产生甲烷的过程以及氧气在其中的作用等，重点是探究是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生，所以题目“是什么驱动了湿地中甲烷的产生”概括了文章的主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 32. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B. To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B. How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物。文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example ,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.可知例如，在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现，城市绿化较好的地区犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中，当员工的工作场所被室内植物装饰时，他们的工作效率会提高15%。由此可知，第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中These include plants that have sensors printed on their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.可知这就包括叶子上印有传感器来显示植物缺水的情况的植物，还有一种植物可以检测到地下水中的有害化学物质。由此可知，麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。由此可知，这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源，例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离，在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物，文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。由此可知，C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗？”最符合文章标题。故选C。 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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the ____58____(loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid _____59_____(look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel_____60_____(challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a ____61____(science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching ____62____ these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing.

Once his message was delivered, he allowed me _____65_____ (stay)and watch. 【答案】56. who 57. the 58. loudest 59. looking 60. challenged 61. scientist 62. for 63. them 64. meant 65. to stay 【解析】 【分析】本文为记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在中非偶遇大猩猩，彼此惊恐的经历。 【56题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：我不确定谁更害怕，我，还是突然出现的雌性大猩猩。此处为宾语从句，空格处表示“谁”，故用who。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。此处为固定短语at the top of，此处表示以最大的肺活量喊叫。 【58题详解】 考查最高级。根据后面的of all可知，他声音最大，所以用最高级loudest。 【59题详解】 考查动词。动词avoid后要加doing。此处表示避免直接看他的眼睛。用looking。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语。根据语境可知，此处表示不直视他的眼睛，他就不会感到被挑战性。feel为系动词，表示“被挑战”，用过去分词challenged。 【61题详解】 考查名词。根据语境可知，我是一名科学家。scientist科学家。 【62题详解】 考查动词短语搭配。search for是固定搭配，表示“寻找”，表示“我”在寻找“我”研究的三只西部低地大猩猩。 【63题详解】 考查代词。此处做find 的宾语，所以用宾格them。 【64题详解】 考查谓语动词。分析本句的句子成分可知，本句缺少谓语，再根据总体时态可知要用一般过去时，所以用meant。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。固定短语allow sb to do允许某人做某事，应该用to stay。 【点睛】此题考查固定搭配较多，其中第2,4,7，10 都为固定搭配，对于这类题目我们需要熟练掌握动词的固定搭配以及介词短语。而此题的第一题则考查从句，对于从句我们可以通过分析句子成分确定连接词的选择。如本题为宾语从句，宾语从句中缺主语，所以应该从连接代词who，whom，what，which，whose，再根据指人做主语可判断用which。 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 随着全球变暖越来越严重，地球的环境正遭受到严重的破坏。假定你是学生会主席李华，你校即将举行主题为“Let’s go green now”的一项环保活动。请你用英语写一封倡议书，要点包括： (1)倡导绿色生活的原因; (2)实践途径(至少两点); (3)呼吁大家积极参加。 注意：(1)词数80左右; (2)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯; (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Boys and girls, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】例文 Boys and girls, In order to protect our environment, there is no doubt that we should go green now.

Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen，but not today. At the sound of his mom coughing，Tony knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern，“Mom，are you OK？” “Honey，” Mom said weakly. “I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal（燕麦）for breakfast and watch cartoons. I'm going to stay in bed. ” Tony poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Tony help？First，he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly，so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do？Tony thought. Sunday was the day when mom did laundry. Tony loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket，inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress，among other clothes and a pair of red socks. Tony opened the door to the washer and put the clothes inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times，so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally，he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START". Tony looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in，and the machine was starting to spin，making his clothing tumble around. That was easy!. Tony watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep. That meant the washing was done. Tony opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer. Everything seemed clean，and Tony felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress. 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。 But as far as he could remember，there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tony nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again，with the pink dress in her arms. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： But as far as he could remember，there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. “Where did it come from？"Tony wondered，reaching into the washer to take out more clothes. Then much to his astonishment，he pulled out two T-shirts，both in light pink. Realizing there was something wrong，Tony stood frozen，his heart sinking. While racking his brain for reasons，he caught sight of the red socks，and it suddenly occurred to him that they must be to blame for it. With no means of handling the situation，Tony was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom. "That isn't a positive approach to the problem，” he reminded himself. Finally，he decided to dry and fold the laundry before telling his mom everything. Tony nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again，with the pink dress in her arms. After what seemed like ages，he came to the bedside，his head drooping. Sensing his son's unease，his mother inquired with concern what was wrong. "Sorry mom，I shouldn't have ruined your favorite dress. ” Tony apologized. Stuttering out the mistake he had made，he was ready to get a good scolding for his wrongdoing. Realizing what was going on，mom smiled understandingly at Tony，"Never mind，dear. I know you meant to help. ” Then mom held the dress up before her and said in an approving tone，"You know what？I think it looks nice. " At this Tony beamed with relief，making a silent vow to be more careful in helping his mom out next time. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物线索展开，讲述了一个周六的早上，Tony发现妈妈生病了，决定帮妈妈分担家务，却在洗衣服时不小心把衣服混色了的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但他记得洗衣篮里没有粉红色的连衣裙。”可知，第一段可描写Tony发现衣服变色并找到变色的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“Tony拿着那件叠得整整齐齐的粉红色连衣裙，紧张地再次敲了敲妈妈的卧室门。”可知，第二段可描写Tony向妈妈承认错误的过程。 2. 续写线索：发现衣服变色——找到变色原因——决定向妈妈承认错误——获得原谅 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①拿出，取出：take out/pull out ②发现，看见：see/notice/catch sight of ③打算做某事：want to do/mean to do 情绪类： ①令人惊讶的：to his astonishment/to one's surprise ②积极的态度：positive approach/positive attitude 【点睛】【高分句型1】While racking his brain for reasons，he caught sight of the red socks，and it suddenly occurred to him that they must be to blame for the accident. （运用了that引导的主语从句） 【高分句型2】With no means of handling the situation，Tony was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom. （运用了such…that…引导结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节。听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
