The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it. One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work. Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”. Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science. In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked. In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life. He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. 4. Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo? A. Questionable and creative. B. Generous and experienced. C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Peace-loving and determined. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Share your kindness to others. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Teachers are key to shaping young minds. D. Actions speak louder than words. 6. Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth? A. The development of early radar. B. First discovery of atomic energy. C. The invention of electronic microscope. D. Various components of modern television. 7. How does the author develop the text? A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By following time order. D. By questioning the points. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了美国20世纪著名发明家Philo Farnsworth的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.(14 岁的菲洛认为这些著名的科学家是错的。他认定，机械装置是永远无法运转的。)”和第三段“All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.(他所要做的就是找到一种让电子发挥作用的方法。不久，菲洛就有了这样一个接收器的创意。它能把光困在一个容器里，然后让光沿着电子线路传输。菲洛将其称为“瓶中之光”。)”可知，14岁的Philo Farnsworth善于质疑并创新。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.(菲洛的老师是贾斯汀·托尔曼。多年后，菲洛将托尔曼先生视为引导自己想象力、帮助自己打开科学大门的引路人。)”可知，老师对塑造年轻人的思想起着关键作用。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能).(他还研发了早期雷达，发明了第一台电子显微镜，并致力于开发原子能的和平利用途径。)”可知，原子能的发现者并非Philo Farnsworth。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906.(菲洛·法恩斯沃思1906 年出生于犹他州。)”和最后一段“Philo Farnsworth died in 1971.(菲洛·法恩斯沃思于1971年去世。)”以及中间段落他完善发明现代电视机过程可知，本文是按时间顺序写的。故选C。 C A large and unusual tropical fruit is becoming more popular in the US. The jackfruit (菠萝蜜) is native to India. The big, spiky fruit grows in parts of Asia, South America and the Caribbean. It can weigh from 6 to around 30 kilogrammes. Often used as a meat substitute (替代品), jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral (中性的) flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular. This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los Angeles, California. “It was about five years ago that the fruit started to really take off,” he said. “Vegetarians and vegans found out how this fruit could be used as a meat substitute for pulled pork sandwiches and as a taco meat.” Schueller said Melissa’s sales have increased sharply. The company went from selling a few containers of jackfruit each week to thousands of cases weekly. In many places around the country, jackfruit is appearing not only at vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also at other places. Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly. Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Café in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection, personal health and moral considerations. “We eat meat because of the texture and the spices. Jackfruit is a great substitute,” Means said. “We put it in tacos, and we make sandwiches, like a barbecue pulled ‘pork’.” Jackfruit Café also serves a “fish patty” made of jackfruit and seaweed. Means said her restaurant tries to educate people in the community about jackfruit and meat substitutes. She predicted, “In seven to 10 years, jackfruit will be as popular as beef.” 8. What is known about the jackfruit? A. It grows all over the world. B. It is a small tropical fruit. C. It has a bitter taste. D. It can replace meat in some dishes. 9. How does the author show the increasing popularity of jackfruit? A. By giving examples. B. By listing its health benefits. C. By analyzing people’s eating habits. D. By comparing it with other fruits. 10. What makes people choose a vegan diet according to Angela Means? A. Environmental, health and moral concerns. B. Desire to try new tastes. C. The low prices of vegan food. D. The ease of cooking vegan food. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Jackfruit: The History in the US B. Is Jackfruit Next Meat Substitute? C. Jackfruit vs. Traditional Meat D. How to Cook with Jackfruit? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是菠萝蜜这种大型热带水果在美国日益流行，并逐渐成为肉类替代品的现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Often used as a meat substitute, jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals.(菠萝蜜常被用作肉类替代品，它富含多种维生素和矿物质。)”可知，菠萝蜜可以在一些菜肴中替代肉类。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los Angeles, California.(总部位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的特色农产品公司Melissa’s Produce的营销主管罗伯特·舒勒指出，这种热度已经持续了好几年。)”和第五段“Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly.(例如，纽约多布斯费里的墨西哥餐厅Tomatillo就推出了用菠萝蜜制作的奶酪饼和墨西哥玉米饼。在芝加哥，Alulu啤酒馆的菜单上除了有五花肉，还提供素食西西里菠萝蜜薄饼。)”可知，作者是通过举例来展现菠萝蜜日益受欢迎的趋势的。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Café in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection, personal health and moral considerations.(加利福尼亚州洛杉矶纯素食餐厅Jackfruit Café的老板Angela Means表示，人们选择纯素食的原因有很多，包括环境保护、个人健康和道德考量。)”可知，Angela Means认为，环境、健康和道德方面的考量促使人们选择纯素食。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Often used as a meat substitute, jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular.(菠萝蜜常被用作肉类替代品，它富含多种维生素和矿物质。其口味中性，可与各种调味料搭配。如今，随着许多美国人寻求以植物为基础的肉类替代品，菠萝蜜越来越受欢迎。)”可知，本文主要讲的是菠萝蜜这种大型热带水果在美国日益流行，并逐渐成为肉类替代品的现象，B选项“Is Jackfruit Next Meat Substitute?(菠萝蜜会成为下一个肉类替代品吗？)”提出菠萝蜜是否会成为下一个肉类替代品的疑问，能概括本文内容，吸引读者，因此可作为最好的题目。故选B。 D A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found. Several studies in recent years have suggested ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership. The new research, conducted by a non-profit group, focuses on how ride-sharing impacts pollution in seven major US cities. Overall, the researchers reported ride-sharing trips now “result in an estimated 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace”. The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot. One big reason for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups. This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle. Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip. The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the amount of pooled rides. It also urges the two companies to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centres. However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services, pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned. Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit (运输) information into their systems. 12. What did the new study find? A. Public transportation is unpopular. B. Private vehicle ownership is decreasing. C. People favour ride-sharing over all others. D. Ride-sharing harms urban environment. 13. What does the underlined word “deadheading” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Long-distance pickups. B. Driving without passengers. C. Extra fees for empty driving. D. Long waiting times for passengers. 14. What can we infer about Uber and Lyft’s attitude towards the new study? A. They accept its conclusions without reservation. B. They show little interest in its research methods. C. They challenge the correctness of its findings. D. They intend to cooperate with the researchers. 15. What will the text most probably talk about next? A. The government’s measures to limit ride-sharing services. B. The reasons why private vehicles cause more pollution. C. The study’s further research on public transportation. D. The specific electric bike services Uber and Lyft introduced. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项新的研究发现，拼车服务造成的污染比其他类型的私人和公共交通要严重得多。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found.(该研究发现，拼车出行还使乘客放弃了更环保的出行方式，如公共交通、步行或骑自行车。)”可知，拼车对城市环境有害。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“One big reason for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups.(造成这一结果的一个重要原因是，网约车常常会出现空车行驶的情况。这种情况通常发生在司机等待订单、前往接客地点，或是在两次接单的间隙行驶的时候。)”和第五段“This situation(这种情况)”可知，deadheading的意思是“空车行驶”，和B选项“Driving without passengers.(无乘客驾车。)”意思相近。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段“However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services, pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned.(然而，这两家公司此前都曾辩称，大多数研究夸大了其服务对污染的影响，指出道路上大多数车辆都是私人拥有的。)”可知，这两家公司认为相关研究夸大了其服务所产生的污染影响，也就是对研究结果的正确性提出了质疑。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段的“Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit (运输) information into their systems.(尽管如此，这两家公司都有增加拼车出行和使用更多电动汽车的共同目标，并且已经推出了电动自行车服务，还将公共交通信息整合到了它们的系统中。)”可知，文章接下来可能会谈到推出的专属电动自行车服务的有关信息。故选D。 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。 Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle (咯咯笑) when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. But, is it a uniquely human experience? ____16____ Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Marc Bekoff, biology professor at the University of Colorado, also observed dogs playfully teasing (捉弄) each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. ____17____ And he’s also said that animals may spend time doing silly things as a way to cope with stress. In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape (猿类) species interact with each other. ____18____ They saw young apes approach quietly behind an adult, push them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline. ____19____ While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (喷鼻息) that could sound like laughter. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting. Rats make a joyful squeak similar to a giggle when they are tickled (逗乐), says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University. But, is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour? Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing and pranking? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “____20____” A What about laughing? B. The sound of their laughter died away. C. Dogs can hear much better than humans. D. His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun. E. Meanwhile, they observed 18 distinct teasing behaviours. F. We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible. G. Scientists have observed behaviours in animals that suggest your pets might be secret jokesters. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本书是一篇说明文。有些人认为幽默感和开怀大笑是人类独有的特质。但动物行为学家们可能不同意这个观点。有大量证据表明动物们像人类一样喜欢互相逗乐，而且它们这样做完全是出于好玩! 【16题详解】 根据上文“But, is it a uniquely human experience?(但是，这是人类独有的体验吗？)”可知，本句回答上文提出的问题，G选项中pets与第二段中的 dogs相呼应，故G选项“科学家已经观察到动物的行为，表明你的宠物可能是秘密的开玩笑者”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Marc Bekoff, biology professor at the University of Colorado, also observed dogs playfully teasing (捉弄) each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away.(你有没有见过狗让人靠近它们的玩具，然后顽皮地带着它跑掉？生物学家查尔斯·达尔文认为这是狗的恶作剧。科罗拉多大学的生物学教授马克·贝科夫也观察到，狗会慢慢靠近对方，然后迅速跑开，以此开玩笑)”可知，上文讲述了狗的行为，本句承接上文，说明对这些狗的行为的研究发现，故D选项“他的研究结论是狗只是想找乐子”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape (猿类) species interact with each other.(在2024年的一项研究中，伊莎贝尔·劳尔和同事观察了四种猿类相互作用)”以及后文“They saw young apes approach quietly behind an adult, push them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.(他们看到年轻的猿猴悄悄地靠近成年人的身后，推他们给他们惊喜，然后等待并观察他们的反应，这种行为与人类儿童的行为相似。所以，幽默感可能在我们进化的早期就出现了)”可知，上文提到了观察猿类，本句承接上文，说明观察的结果，故E选项“同时，他们观察到18种不同的戏弄行为”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (喷鼻息) that could sound like laughter. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting. Rats make a joyful squeak similar to a giggle when they are tickled (逗乐), says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.(狗在玩耍时，有时会发出像笑声一样的鼻息。海豚在打闹时发出欢快的声音。西北大学教授杰弗里·伯格多夫说，当老鼠被挠痒痒时，它们会发出欢快的吱吱声，类似于咯咯的笑声)”可知，本段主要说明了动物会发出笑声的情况，故A选项“那笑呢？”符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文““In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer.(“对于人类来说，幽默可以打破僵局，消除社会障碍，加强人际关系，”劳尔说)”可知，前文提到人类的幽默，本句可能会联想到猿类和其他动物是否也有类似的行为，故F选项“我们不知道猿或其他动物是否也有同样的情况，但这是可能的”符合语境。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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Emma was a child, she had a dream — to become a professional pianist.

Currently 44. and 45. doing 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是中国的相声艺术。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：相声表演是中国特有的艺术形式，在这类表演中，一对喜剧演员主要通过说唱和文字游戏来逗乐观众。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词crosstalk show是抽象地点，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句，故填where。 【37题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：后来，经过长期与其他艺术形式的不断融合，相声演变成了如今的样子。空格处引导的是表语从句，从句中缺少表语，此处表示“相声演变成了如今的样子”，因此用what引导表语从句，故填what。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：相声在中文里被称为“相声”（字面意思是“脸和声音”），在20世纪的大部分时间里，它都是主要的喜剧形式。句中谓语是was，空格处用非谓语动词，crosstalk和know之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词known表被动，作状语，故填Known。 39题详解】 考查不定式。句意：在过去，天津等地庙会和市场是相声演员表演的主要场所，尽管他们偶尔也会在茶馆或剧院登台。根据语境可知，句子表示“天津等地庙会和市场是相声演员表演的主要场所”，空格处用不定式作后置定语，故填to perform。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：相声作品取材于中国文化的方方面面，从历史故事和民间传说，到当时的社会问题。from...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……”，因此空格处用介词to，故填to。 【41题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：虽然有数百个传统相声段子，但它们会不断被重新演绎，以适应时代和观众的需求，同时也会创作新的作品。while表并列，由前面的they’re constantly recreated可知，时态用一般现在时，也可用现在进行时，作品是被创作，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态或现在进行时的被动语态，主语works是复数，因此空格处是are (being) written。故填are (being) written。 【42题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：这正是相声在其历史发展过程中成为一种大众艺术形式的特征之一。空前有one of，空格处用复数，故填features。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：目前，中国相声演员有必要扎根于群众之中，紧跟时代潮流，传承传统精髓，并拥抱创新。空格处用副词currently作状语，意为“目前”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Currently。 44题详解】 考查连词。句意：目前，中国相声演员有必要扎根于群众之中，紧跟时代潮流，传承传统精髓，并拥抱创新。stay，follow和embrace之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此用and表并列，故填and。 【45题详解】 考查动名词。句意：只有这样，他们才能创作出受到公众赞誉、满足其文化需求的作品。by是介词，空格处用动名词作宾语，故填doing。 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，在外教Mr Moore的帮助下，你在学校组织的主题为“Explore the World; Light up the Future(探索世界，点亮未来)”的英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。请你写一封邮件表达感谢，内容包括： 1. 告知获奖； 2. 回顾参赛并表达感谢。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr Moore, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Mr Moore, I’m writing to share some exciting news with you.

A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating (令人惊恐的) thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. The hallways were a sea of unfamiliar faces, and the noise level was overwhelming. I clutched my schedule tightly, trying to navigate through the bustling crowds. Dora had a different schedule, so I was on my own. I felt like everyone else knew exactly where they were going, while I was lost in a maze. Suddenly, I heard Jane call my name. With the help of Jane, I found my next classroom just as the bell rang. I slipped into a seat, feeling relieved but still nervous about what the rest of the day would bring. During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. At first, I introduced Jane to Dora. Then Dora introduced us to some of her other friends, and although I was still a bit shy, I tried to join in the conversation. It was comforting to have a familiar face and to see that not everyone was as confident as they seemed. As the day went on, I started to feel more comfortable. By the end of the day, I realized that high school wasn’t as intimidating as I had feared, and I was ready to face the challenges ahead with a bit more confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者初入高中的经历。从担忧不安开始，因不熟悉环境、担心学业挑战而紧张。坐公交进校后，在人群中局促，上课也有些无措。不过，在朋友和同桌的帮助下，逐渐适应，午餐时融入交流，最终发现高中没那么可怕，有了面对挑战的信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有点害怕，因为我不知道该往哪儿走。走廊里都是陌生的面孔，嘈杂声震耳欲聋。”可知，第一段可描写作者在陌生环境中感到害怕和无助，不知道该去哪里，但最终在同桌Jane的帮助下找到了教室。 ②由第二段首句内容“午饭时，Jane和我与Dora在一张桌子旁坐下。”可知，第二段可描写作者在午餐时与朋友和同桌交流，逐渐感到舒适和自信，意识到高中并没有那么可怕。 2.续写线索： 害怕无助——寻找教室——得到帮助——找到座位——午餐交流——逐渐自信——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch tightly/grasp firmly/hold tight ②.加入：join in/participate in/take part in ③.意识到：realize/become aware of/recognize 情绪类 ①.宽慰的：relieved/eased/comforted ②.紧张的：nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it. One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work. Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”. Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science. In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked. In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life. He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. 4. Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo? A. Questionable and creative. B. Generous and experienced. C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Peace-loving and determined. 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Share your kindness to others. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Teachers are key to shaping young minds. D. Actions speak louder than words. 6. Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth? A. The development of early radar. B. First discovery of atomic energy. C. The invention of electronic microscope. D Various components of modern television. 7. How does the author develop the text? A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By following time order. D. By questioning the points. C A large and unusual tropical fruit is becoming more popular in the US. The jackfruit (菠萝蜜) is native to India. The big, spiky fruit grows in parts of Asia, South America and the Caribbean. It can weigh from 6 to around 30 kilogrammes. Often used as a meat substitute (替代品), jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral (中性的) flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular. This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los Angeles, California. “It was about five years ago that the fruit started to really take off,” he said. “Vegetarians and vegans found out how this fruit could be used as a meat substitute for pulled pork sandwiches and as a taco meat.” Schueller said Melissa’s sales have increased sharply. The company went from selling a few containers of jackfruit each week to thousands of cases weekly. In many places around the country, jackfruit is appearing not only at vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also at other places. Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly. Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Café in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection, personal health and moral considerations. “We eat meat because of the texture and the spices. Jackfruit is a great substitute,” Means said. “We put it in tacos, and we make sandwiches, like a barbecue pulled ‘pork’.” Jackfruit Café also serves a “fish patty” made of jackfruit and seaweed. Means said her restaurant tries to educate people in the community about jackfruit and meat substitutes. She predicted, “In seven to 10 years, jackfruit will be as popular as beef.” 8. What is known about the jackfruit? A. It grows all over the world. B. It is a small tropical fruit. C. It has a bitter taste. D. It can replace meat in some dishes. 9. How does the author show the increasing popularity of jackfruit? A. By giving examples. B. By listing its health benefits. C. By analyzing people’s eating habits. D. By comparing it with other fruits. 10. What makes people choose a vegan diet according to Angela Means? A. Environmental, health and moral concerns. B. Desire to try new tastes. C. The low prices of vegan food. D. The ease of cooking vegan food. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Jackfruit: The History in the US B. Is Jackfruit Next Meat Substitute? C. Jackfruit vs. Traditional Meat D. How to Cook with Jackfruit? D A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found. Several studies in recent years have suggested ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership. The new research, conducted by a non-profit group, focuses on how ride-sharing impacts pollution in seven major US cities. Overall, the researchers reported ride-sharing trips now “result in an estimated 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace”. The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot. One big reason for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups. This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle. Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip. The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the amount of pooled rides. It also urges the two companies to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centres. However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services, pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned. Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit (运输) information into their systems. 12. What did the new study find? A. Public transportation is unpopular. B. Private vehicle ownership is decreasing. C. People favour ride-sharing over all others. D. Ride-sharing harms urban environment. 13. What does the underlined word “deadheading” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Long-distance pickups. B. Driving without passengers. C. Extra fees for empty driving. D. Long waiting times for passengers. 14. What can we infer about Uber and Lyft’s attitude towards the new study? A. They accept its conclusions without reservation. B. They show little interest in its research methods. C. They challenge the correctness of its findings. D. They intend to cooperate with the researchers. 15. What will the text most probably talk about next? A. The government’s measures to limit ride-sharing services. B. The reasons why private vehicles cause more pollution. C. The study’s further research on public transportation. D. The specific electric bike services Uber and Lyft introduced. 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。 Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle (咯咯笑) when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. But, is it a uniquely human experience? ____16____ Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Marc Bekoff, biology professor at the University of Colorado, also observed dogs playfully teasing (捉弄) each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. ____17____ And he’s also said that animals may spend time doing silly things as a way to cope with stress. In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape (猿类) species interact with each other. ____18____ They saw young apes approach quietly behind an adult, push them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline. ____19____ While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (喷鼻息) that could sound like laughter. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting. Rats make a joyful squeak similar to a giggle when they are tickled (逗乐), says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University. But, is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour? Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing and pranking? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “____20____” A. What about laughing? B. The sound of their laughter died away. C. Dogs can hear much better than humans. D. His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun. E. Meanwhile, they observed 18 distinct teasing behaviours. F. We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible. G. Scientists have observed behaviours in animals that suggest your pets might be secret jokesters. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Emma was a child, she had a dream — to become a professional pianist.

A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating (令人惊恐的) thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don’t know what I’m doing. I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I’d had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring. When Dora and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice. Although a lot of students might not laugh when I made a strange joke, they weren’t rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectations. After maths class, we needed to go to another classroom to have history class. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
