Before long, one of his students came in. “He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children’s books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly Black neighborhoods across the country. According to Irby, they are putting books in a male-centered space. “Less than 2% of teachers are Black males and many Black boys are raised by single moms. Black boys don’t see Black men reading.” So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was, or tell them about another book another kid was reading.” Irby believes that talking about books with a Black man can be powerful for the boys he serves. “Our goal is not to turn barbers into tutors,” he said. “This is an opportunity to provide boys with male role models.” Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to forego that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.” And that’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.” 29. What inspired Irby to launch the project Barbershop Books? A. His encounter with his student in the barber’s. B. His childhood experience in his neighborhood. C. His bad impression on Black men. D. Barbers’ enthusiasm and generosity. 30. What does Irby intend the barbers to do in the project? A. To collect books for Black boys. B. To set a good example as a behaved citizen. C. To help Black boys comprehend books. D. To draw Black boys to reading. 31. What does the underlined word “forego” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Give up. B. Build up. C. Give away. D. Open up. 32. What has contributed to the success of the project? A. Black boys’ increased interest in reading. B. New policies concerning barbers’ shops. C. Irby’s firm belief in the power of reading. D. Effective cooperation between Irby and Denny Moe. C How long does it take you to make a cup of tea? Forty seconds, if you press the tea bag against the side of the mug. I’m not judging — that was me until recently, and we are not alone. Only 4% of people in the UK make their tea from leaves, and it seems the rest of us are missing out. I’ve dipped in and out of tea over the years, and have never taken it quite as seriously as coffee, but this long holiday seems as good a time as any to up my game. Previously, I’d been put off by the complexity of the process, but it turns out that a proper cup of tea from leaves doesn’t have to require a whole lot of tools. The game-changer for me was tea-ière, which is a bit like a cafetiere (咖啡壶). So, where to start our new adventure? The obvious answer, particularly this New Year weekend, is China, which is to tea what France is to wine. The country produces every imaginable style, from delicate green tea to refreshing jasmine tea. If you’re used to black tea, it’s probably best to begin with the rich oolong. And if you’re already into tea, prepare yourself for the mind-blowing puerh, which, according to my note, tastes of forest floor with a slight smell of shoe repair shop, and which, you’ll be relieved to hear, is a lot nicer than it sounds. It’s worth taking the trouble to get the basics right: the amount of tea, the quantity and temperature of the water, the ideal infusion (浸泡) time and, above all, pouring every last drop of tea from the pot. And if none of these will drag you away from tea bags, try loose tea leaves at least once infused for two to three minutes and see if you notice a difference. Watching those leaves magically spread out and thinking about what you are drinking is strangely comforting in a bitter winter. 33. What can we know about tea drinking in the UK? A. British people take tea less seriously than coffee. B. Most people prefer tea bags to loose tea leaves. C. It takes 40 seconds to prepare a tea bag. D. One might be judged if not using tea bags. 34. What did the author discover about drinking tea from leaves? A. It takes more effort than drinking coffee. B. It turns out to be tool-free. C. It’s fun and entertaining. D. It’s easier than anticipated. 35. How does the author present his idea in paragraph 3? A. By analyzing figures. B. By presenting options. C. By drawing conclusions. D. By describing experiences. 36. What could be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Why Not Go For Chinese Tea? B. How To Pick The Right Tea? C. Loose Tea Leaves, Or Tea Bags? D. Fancy A Better Way Of Drinking Tea? D Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. Examples of deepfakes have been widely spread, including a video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech about his company’s plan, and a video of Elon Musk dancing and talking about the power of dreams, etc. It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. The first algorithm produces a synthetic image and receives feedback on it from the second algorithm and then adjusts it to make it appear more real; the loop is repeated as many times as it takes until the second algorithm does not detect any false imagery. Deepfakers often have evil motives, including creating misinformation and generating confusion. They tend to demean, terrify, and annoy, and have targeted not only celebrities but ordinary citizens as well. Most of the academic research surrounding deepfakes focuses on the detection of huge amount of deepfake videos emerging online. One detection approach is to use algorithms to identify inconsistencies in deepfake videos. For example, an automatic system can examine videos for errors such as irregular blinking patterns of lighting. However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. However, education and medicine are two of the fields that may benefit from deepfake technology. In the classroom, historical speeches could be deepfaked to offer immersive and engaging lessons. In health care, it can improve the accuracy of which tumors (肿瘤) are spotted, making them easier to treat. Its use also permits using synthesized data instead of that from real patients to avoid privacy concerns. 37. How does AI create a deepfake video according to the passage? A. By copying and combining the fake images. B. By constantly teaching itself to perfect the output. C. By acquiring feedback from multiple sources. D. By repeatedly generating realistic images from scratch. 38. What is the challenge of detecting deepfake videos? A. Ever-evolving deepfake techniques. B. Insufficient academic basis on detection solutions. C. A massive number of false videos online. D. Limited availability of detection tools. 39 What is the author’s attitude toward deepfake? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 40. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Potential threats: AI’s new playground B. Deepfake: Human’s another helping hand C. Artificial Intelligence: A piece of fake D. Detecting deepfake: An ongoing battle 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。 Floods can come from multiple sources.

With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero. One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager. “Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear. “Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense. 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。 para.1 A few weeks later Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 深圳市第三高级中学 2025-2026 学年度第一学期期末考试 高二A组英语试题卷 试卷总分：130分 考试时长：120分钟 1. 答题前, 考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚, 将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂; 非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写, 字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答, 超出答题区域书写的答案无效; 在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4.考试结束后，请将答题卡交监考人员。 第一部分 单选题(共25小题，每小题1分，满分25分) 1.

Stunning colors, falling leaves — but wetter pavements call for steady feet, which is why Goldster has teamed up with personal trainer and programme coach James Hilton to create a fantastic free online event to help make sure you stay stable, wherever you’re walking.(秋天的天气很美。绚丽的色彩，飘落的树叶，但潮湿的路面需要稳定的脚步，这就是为什么Goldster与私人教练兼项目教练James Hilton合作，创建了一个梦幻般的免费在线活动，以帮助你保持稳定，无论你走在哪里)”可知，这个活动是为了帮助人们在秋天湿滑的路面上保持稳定的步态，故本文的对象是秋季户外爱好者，故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Event schedule”部分中“2:45—3:15 p. m. Claudia le Feuvre, Nutritionist and eating psychology coach: Nutrition for muscle and bone health.(下午2:45到3:15营养学家和饮食心理学教练Claudia le Feuvre：肌肉和骨骼健康的营养)”可知，可以从5营养学家和心理学教练Claudia le Feuvre那里得到关于健康饮食的建议。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“3:45—4:00p. m.

Before long, one of his students came in. “He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children’s books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly Black neighborhoods across the country. According to Irby, they are putting books in a male-centered space. “Less than 2% of teachers are Black males and many Black boys are raised by single moms. Black boys don’t see Black men reading.” So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was, or tell them about another book another kid was reading.” Irby believes that talking about books with a Black man can be powerful for the boys he serves. “Our goal is not to turn barbers into tutors,” he said. “This is an opportunity to provide boys with male role models.” Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to forego that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.” And that’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.” 29. What inspired Irby to launch the project Barbershop Books? A. His encounter with his student in the barber’s. B. His childhood experience in his neighborhood. C. His bad impression on Black men. D. Barbers’ enthusiasm and generosity. 30. What does Irby intend the barbers to do in the project? A. To collect books for Black boys. B. To set a good example as a behaved citizen. C. To help Black boys comprehend books. D. To draw Black boys to reading. 31. What does the underlined word “forego” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Give up. B. Build up. C. Give away. D. Open up. 32. What has contributed to the success of the project? A. Black boys’ increased interest in reading. B. New policies concerning barbers’ shops. C. Irby’s firm belief in the power of reading. D. Effective cooperation between Irby and Denny Moe. 【答案】29. A 30. D 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章讲述了一年级教师Alvin Irby在理发店遇到一个学生后引发了他的思考，继而开创了Barbershop Books这个非营利项目，为一群由单亲妈妈抚养长大的黑人孩子提供书籍和读书空间，为他们树立男性榜样，使他们的生活发生了改变。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An ordinary day in 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a Bronx barbershop after school for a haircut. Before long, one of his students came in.”（2008年一个普通的日子，一年级Alvin Irby放学后到布朗克斯的一家理发店理发。不久，他的一个学生走了进来。）和第二段““He is getting antsy; he’s kind of looking bored,” Irby recalled. “I’m looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.’ But I didn’t have a book.” That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books.”（“他开始坐立不安了;他看起来有点无聊，”Irby回忆道。“我看着这个学生(在想)，‘他应该在练习阅读。’但我没有书。”那一刻一直伴随着Irby，五年后他创办了Barbershop Books。）可知，是当时在理发店碰到一个学生引发了Irby的思考，继而开创了Barbershop Books这个项目的。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading.”（因此，Irby让理发师参与到他的任务中来——训练他们让男孩们参与阅读。）可知，Irby打算让理发师们吸引这些黑人男孩们阅读书籍。故选D。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上一句“Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income,”（Moe之前曾在他的Harlem商店里提供电子游戏，以赚取额外收入）和转折词“but”可知，划线词所在句与上一句之间为转折关系，故“he was willing to forego that to help the community.”应表示虽然他赚取了额外收入，但是为了帮助社区，他愿意放弃这些收入，故forego表示“放弃”。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.””（“我很激动，我们可以为男孩们创造一个安全的空间，让他们做一些真正改变生活的事情。”他说，“这就是我真的相信阅读可以做到，它释放了人们的潜力。”）可知，这个项目的成功，来源于Irby对阅读力量的坚定信念。故选C。 C How long does it take you to make a cup of tea? Forty seconds, if you press the tea bag against the side of the mug. I’m not judging — that was me until recently, and we are not alone. Only 4% of people in the UK make their tea from leaves, and it seems the rest of us are missing out. I’ve dipped in and out of tea over the years, and have never taken it quite as seriously as coffee, but this long holiday seems as good a time as any to up my game. Previously, I’d been put off by the complexity of the process, but it turns out that a proper cup of tea from leaves doesn’t have to require a whole lot of tools. The game-changer for me was tea-ière, which is a bit like a cafetiere (咖啡壶). So, where to start our new adventure? The obvious answer, particularly this New Year weekend, is China, which is to tea what France is to wine. The country produces every imaginable style, from delicate green tea to refreshing jasmine tea. If you’re used to black tea, it’s probably best to begin with the rich oolong. And if you’re already into tea, prepare yourself for the mind-blowing puerh, which, according to my note, tastes of forest floor with a slight smell of shoe repair shop, and which, you’ll be relieved to hear, is a lot nicer than it sounds. It’s worth taking the trouble to get the basics right: the amount of tea, the quantity and temperature of the water, the ideal infusion (浸泡) time and, above all, pouring every last drop of tea from the pot. And if none of these will drag you away from tea bags, try loose tea leaves at least once infused for two to three minutes and see if you notice a difference. Watching those leaves magically spread out and thinking about what you are drinking is strangely comforting in a bitter winter. 33. What can we know about tea drinking in the UK? A. British people take tea less seriously than coffee. B. Most people prefer tea bags to loose tea leaves. C. It takes 40 seconds to prepare a tea bag. D. One might be judged if not using tea bags. 34. What did the author discover about drinking tea from leaves? A. It takes more effort than drinking coffee. B. It turns out to be tool-free. C. It’s fun and entertaining. D. It’s easier than anticipated. 35. How does the author present his idea in paragraph 3? A. By analyzing figures. B. By presenting options. C. By drawing conclusions. D. By describing experiences. 36. What could be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Why Not Go For Chinese Tea? B. How To Pick The Right Tea? C. Loose Tea Leaves, Or Tea Bags? D. Fancy A Better Way Of Drinking Tea? 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者面向绝大部分习惯喝茶包的英国读者，介绍并推荐了冲泡散装茶叶这一在英国尚属小众文化的饮茶方法，其中在茶叶选择部分重点介绍了产自中国的茶叶，包括乌龙茶和普洱茶。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Forty seconds, if you press the tea bag against the side of the mug. I’m not judging — that was me until recently, and we are not alone. Only 4% of people in the UK make their tea from leaves, and it seems the rest of us are missing out.(40秒，如果你把茶包压在马克杯的一边。我不是在评头论足——这是最近之前的那个我，我们并不孤单。在英国，只有4%的人用茶叶泡茶，而我们其他人似乎都错过了)”可知，在英国仅有4%的人喝散装茶叶冲泡的茶，而96%的人是喝茶包泡制的茶。由此可知，大多数人喜欢茶包而不是散装茶叶。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Previously, I’d been put off by the complexity of the process, but it turns out that a proper cup of tea from leaves doesn’t have to require a whole lot of tools.(以前，我一直被这个过程的复杂性所困扰，但事实证明，一杯用茶叶冲泡的像样的茶不需要很多工具)”可知，用茶叶冲泡茶并没有作者之前所想象的那么复杂。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“If you’re used to black tea, it’s probably best to begin with the rich oolong. And if you’re already into tea, prepare yourself for the mind-blowing puerh, which, according to my note, tastes of forest floor with a slight smell of shoe repair shop, and which, you’ll be relieved to hear, is a lot nicer than it sounds.(如果你习惯了红茶，那么最好从浓郁的乌龙茶开始。如果你已经开始喝茶了，那就为这道令人大开眼界的普洱做好准备，根据我的笔记，它尝起来像森林地面，有一点修鞋店的味道，而且让你听起来你会松一口气的是，它比听起来美味多了)”可知，作者在向读者介绍乌龙茶和普洱茶这两种不同的茶叶种类，并且描述了其产品特色。由此推知，作者通过呈现不同的选择表达了自己的观点。故选B。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Only 4% of people in the UK make their tea from leaves, and it seems the rest of us are missing out.(在英国，只有4%的人用茶叶泡茶，而我们其他人似乎都错过了)”以及最后一段第一句“And if none of these will drag you away from tea bags, try loose tea leaves at least once infused for two to three minutes and see if you notice a difference.(如果这些都不会把你从茶包里拖走，试着把松散的茶叶至少浸泡一次，浸泡两到三分钟，看看你是否注意到了不同)”可知，本文主要在向绝大多数喝茶叶包的英国读者推荐散装茶叶这种更好的饮茶方式。由此可知，D项“想知道更好的喝茶方式吗？”符合题意。C选项是干扰项，本文大意并非比较茶包和散装茶叶，而是聚焦于推荐喝散装茶叶泡茶这种在英国还不太主流的方式。故选D。 D Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. Examples of deepfakes have been widely spread, including a video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech about his company’s plan, and a video of Elon Musk dancing and talking about the power of dreams, etc. It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. The first algorithm produces a synthetic image and receives feedback on it from the second algorithm and then adjusts it to make it appear more real; the loop is repeated as many times as it takes until the second algorithm does not detect any false imagery. Deepfakers often have evil motives, including creating misinformation and generating confusion. They tend to demean, terrify, and annoy, and have targeted not only celebrities but ordinary citizens as well. Most of the academic research surrounding deepfakes focuses on the detection of huge amount of deepfake videos emerging online. One detection approach is to use algorithms to identify inconsistencies in deepfake videos. For example, an automatic system can examine videos for errors such as irregular blinking patterns of lighting. However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. However, education and medicine are two of the fields that may benefit from deepfake technology. In the classroom, historical speeches could be deepfaked to offer immersive and engaging lessons. In health care, it can improve the accuracy of which tumors (肿瘤) are spotted, making them easier to treat. Its use also permits using synthesized data instead of that from real patients to avoid privacy concerns. 37. How does AI create a deepfake video according to the passage? A. By copying and combining the fake images. B. By constantly teaching itself to perfect the output. C. By acquiring feedback from multiple sources. D. By repeatedly generating realistic images from scratch. 38. What is the challenge of detecting deepfake videos? A. Ever-evolving deepfake techniques. B. Insufficient academic basis on detection solutions. C. A massive number of false videos online. D. Limited availability of detection tools. 39. What is the author’s attitude toward deepfake? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 40. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Potential threats: AI’s new playground B. Deepfake: Human’s another helping hand C. Artificial Intelligence: A piece of fake D. Detecting deepfake: An ongoing battle 【答案】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者客观地对deepfake进行了客观事实阐述：AI是能轻易地制造出假视频的。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. (人工智能很容易使用两种不同的深度学习算法来产生这种深度伪造：一种算法根据真实图像或视频创建尽可能最好的克隆，另一种算法检测副本是否为假，如果是假的，则报告它与原件之间的差异。)”可知，人工智通过不断地自我训练来完善输出创建深度假视频。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. (然而，这些方法受到了批评，因为深度伪造检测的特点是“移动的门柱”，深度伪造的生产在不断变化和改进，而检测工具总是在追赶它们。)”可知，检测深度假视频的挑战是不断发展的深度造假技术。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。作者在文章中阐述了deepfake技术的概念、应用案例、原理，动机，也提到了其在不同应用领域的好处和坏处，可推知作者对它的态度是客观的。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. (Deepfake；人工智能技术生成的合成媒体，包括图像、视频和音频，用来展示不存在的东西或从未发生过的事件。)”结合作者客观地对deepfake进行了客观事实阐述：AI是能轻易地制造出假视频的。故C选项“人工智能：一块假货”最符合文义。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。 Floods can come from multiple sources.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了洪水这种自然灾害，包括其特点、含义、类型、起因、汛期和预测预防手段。 【41题详解】 前文“Floods can come from multiple sources. It can be a hurricane, failed dam, or overflowing river. The disasters can move quickly. (洪水可能有多种来源。它可能是飓风、大坝倒塌或河水泛滥。灾难发生的速度很快)”提到造成洪水的原因有多种，且洪水速度很快，后文“It’s important to know how to keep your family and belongings safe during such an event. Full preparation can put you at ease for its coming. (在这种情况下，知道如何保护家人和财产的安全是很重要的。充分的准备可以使你在它到来时感到安心)”提到保护家人和财产的安全的重要性，建议做好充分的准备。D项“And sometimes they come with little warning. (有时，它们来得毫无征兆)”符合语境，指出洪水可能很突然地发生，承接前文，佐证后文做充分准备的必要性。故选D。 【42题详解】 前文“A flood is simply an event where water overflows a natural area and covers normally dry places. In general, there are two types. (洪水仅仅是水溢出自然区域并覆盖通常干燥的地方的事件。一般来说，有两种类型)”提到洪水的定义，以及包含两种类型，后文“The soil in these areas can’t absorb a lot of moisture. The water then rapidly runs off the surface resulting in a torrent (激流) of rapidly moving water. (这些地区的土壤不能吸收很多水分。然后水迅速从地表流出，形成快速流动的水流)”具体描述第一种类型的洪水，因此C项“Flash floods are more common in dry areas.

To achieve 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍汝瓷渊源与现状，及传承人李超的传承创新之举。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：正如作曲家方文山所描述的那样，它的原创歌词灵感来自汝瓷。根据空前定冠词the以及空后“Fang Wenshan”可知，此处指“作曲家方文山”，应用名词composer“作曲家”，此处特指方文山，用单数形式。故填composer。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：大约在1100年，大量的汝瓷涌入市场，但如今汝瓷的存世量实际上十分稀少。oceans of为固定搭配，意为“大量的；许许多多的”，后接可数名词复数或不可数名词，符合语境。故填of。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：大约在1100年，大量的汝瓷涌入市场，但如今汝瓷的存世量实际上十分稀少。根据空前定冠词the以及空后“of Ru ware”可知，此处表示“汝瓷的存在”，应用名词existence“存在”，不可数名词，the existence of意为“……的存在/存世量”。故填existence。 【64题详解】 考查副词比较级。句意：多亏了汝瓷传承人的努力，人们现在可以比以前更近距离地欣赏汝瓷了。根据空后“than before”可知，空处应用比较级形式closer，表示“更近距离地”。故填closer。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：出生于河南汝州的李超花了十年时间精进制作工艺。spend time (in) doing sth.为固定句型，意为“花费时间做某事”，所以空处应用动词better“改进；使更好；精进”的动名词形式bettering。故填bettering。 【66题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：汝瓷要经过72道工序，其中第一道是揉泥。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词72 steps，先行词指物，关系词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，所以应用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【67题详解】 考查副词。句意：每一件艺术品都完全值得我们敬佩。空处修饰动词deserves，应用副词fully作状语，表示“完全地，充分地”。故填fully。 【68题详解】 考查语态。句意：随着资深传承人的逐渐离世，制作汝瓷的技艺将会失传。空处在句中作谓语，句子主语Techniques of making Ru porcelain与动词lose之间构成被动关系，且空前有will，所以此处应用一般将来时的被动语态will be lost。故填be lost。 【69题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：所以，李不遗余力做的事情就是把它介绍给更广泛的人群。空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，所以应用连接代词what引导。故填what。 【70题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了实现这个目标，他创造性地在制作受年轻人欢迎的日常器皿时使用汝瓷。空处在句中作目的状语，所以应用动词不定式to achieve，句首单词首字母大写。故填To achieve。 第四部分 写作(满分25分) 71. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Catherine had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children, but now, she, who lost her husband in a car accident, had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero. One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager. “Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear. “Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense. 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。 para.1 A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. In the distance, he saw a familiar figure in worn-out clothes, covered in dust and sweat, lifted heavy bricks with her weathered hands at the construction site. As he drew closer, he realized it was his mother, Catherine. Catherine tirelessly moved heavy bricks with her ugly and rough hands under the scorching sun. Her face was covered in sweat, and she didn't even have time to wipe it off as she rushed back and forth, working tirelessly. Peter stood there in shock, unable to utter a single word. Meanwhile, a wave of guilt and regret flooded over him. He shouldn’t have said those hurtful words. On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. Peter couldn't shake off the guilt and regret for his hurtful words towards his mother. He knew he had to make things right and apologize to her. The moment Catherine stepped into the house from work, Peter rushed up to her, gently took her hands in his and held them tightly. “Mom, I’m sorry” he murmured, tears welling up in his eyes, “I didn’t understand then, but now I see how hard you work for us. Your hands may be rough, but they are the most beautiful hands in the world because they care for us.” Tears welled up in Catherine’s eyes as she embraced her son, a wave of happiness washing over her. From that day on, Peter not only attended the school event with his mother but also stood by her side, holding her hands with pride. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了凯瑟琳一直呆在家里照顾她的三个孩子，但现在，她的丈夫在一场车祸中丧生，她不得不出去挣钱养家糊口。由于没有工作经验，也没有专业学位，她找到高薪工作的机会几乎为零。最后她不得不去建筑工地干活，而她的儿子彼得却嫌弃母亲的工作。直到某天彼得看到母亲辛苦工作，感到内疚和悔恨，向母亲道了歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，彼得走在回家的路上，一件意想不到的事情引起了他的注意”可知，第一段可描写彼得看到母亲辛苦工作，感到内疚和悔恨。 ②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，他一直在想该如何向母亲道歉”可知，第二段可描写彼得和母亲道歉，母子俩和好。 2.续写线索：看到母亲工作——理解母亲辛苦——感到内疚——道歉——取得原谅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/catch sight of ②意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①不知疲倦：tirelessly/indefatigably ②震惊：shock/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he drew closer, he realized it was his mother, Catherine.
