If you said the first one was cold congratulations: You’re in Dr. Agrawal’s majority. In general, cold water sounds brighter and splashier, while hot water sounds duller and frother. But until recently no one really had evidence to explain the difference. However, Xiaotian Bi, who earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering last year from Tsinghua University in Beijing, offers a new explanation in a paper he and colleagues published in March on the arXiv website. It’s all about the size of the bubbles that form during pouring, he says, and this insight may have implications for how we enjoy everyday food and drink. Dr. Bi’s paper has not yet been through peer review, and he acknowledges that much more research is needed. But Joshua Reiss, a professor of audio engineering at Queen Mary University of London, who has also studied the acoustics (声学) of hot and cold water said he was “on the right track, for sure.” Discussions of the varying sounds of hot and cold liquids usually point to differences in viscosity (粘度) as the culprit(罪魁祸首). But Dr. Bi wasn’t satisfied with that reasoning. He produces and stars in his own popular science videos, and decided that the sounds water makes at different temperatures was a good topic. He poked around looking for published research on the subject and came away disappointed. “None of them gave a precise explanation,” he said, adding that it was “an unsolved mystery.” 1. Which statement best reflects the significance of Dr. Bi’s findings? A. It gives final solution to the problem. B. It shows that bubble size is the key. C. It confirms cold water sounds brighter due to higher viscosity. D. It is fully accepted by other scientists. 2. The underlined phrase “poked around” probably means ______. A conducted a systematic laboratory experiment B. searched casually or informally for information C. criticized existing studies publicly D. collaborated with other researchers extensively 3. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Why You Can Hear the Temperature of Water B. Can You Guess Which Side is Cold And Which is Hot C. A Science Video Maker in China is Exploring a Mystery of Water D. How Can Bi Dao Become a Leading Science Video Maker in China B It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then—bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle. As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, who was 65，fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty.” At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival. DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. “You’re on the railroad tracks，”DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now! The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door fail to be opened due to the collision(碰撞), so DiPinto quickly run to the other side and was able to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day. “Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr., Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.” 4. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1? A. Esposito’s car hit another vehicle. B. Esposito drove too fast. C. Esposito didn’t know the route well. D. A running train crashed into Esposito’s car. 5. How was Janice Esposito right after the accident? A. She felt all right. B. She was badly hurt. C. She got stuck in the car. D. She completely lost her consciousness. 6. How was Janice Esposito rescued from her car? A. Through the window on the driver’s side. B. Through the door on the driver’s side. C. Through the window on the passenger’s side. D. Through the door on the passenger’s side. 7. What did Gregory Miglino Jr. mean by “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck”? A. DiPinto was not a professional firefighter. B. DiPinto rushed to save life without thinking about himself. C. DiPinto was a special firefighter who preferred wearing pajamas. D. DiPinto was unable to find a fire truck when the accident happened. C Slow-moving tropical cyclones will cause greater devastation According to related new research, tropical cyclones (热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer. It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities. “Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.” According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each spot. Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate change. Kossin’s work was considered to be “important and new” and “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says. 8. Why are cyclones crawling more slowly more destructive? A. They get higher wind speeds inside. B. They cause more serious climate change. C. They move poleward and affect more regions. D. They make rains and winds stay longer over a place. 9. What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific? A. The speed of the storms there slows more. B. It has much wetter air. C It has higher risk of being hit by storms. D. The storms there cause greater damage. 10. Why does the author quote Christina Patricola’s words? A. To attract more attention to research on storms. B. To emphasize the importance of studying storms. C. To show she is an authoritative scientist in this field. D. To demonstrate that Kossin’s work has been recognized. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Health. D. Education. D Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-skilled Workers Forty years ago, Americans who didn’t go to college could move to cities and get good jobs in manufacturing or office work. But starting in about 1980, these jobs began to disappear, thanks in part to offshoring(离岸外包) and automation. Workers without a college education were increasingly moved to low-skilled service jobs. Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well. High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集) in cities, while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas — workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into town. Thus, a major route to middle-class prosperity has been closed off. Some of this can be explained by virtue of the two basic economic reasons for cities to exist in a modern economy — agglomeration(聚集) and clustering. Agglomeration refers to the tendency of businesses of all types, but especially manufacturers, to locate near each other. This happens because employers want to be near to employees, who want to be near to the businesses they work for and buy goods from. The result is a city with lots of different industries. Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to want to be near each other. Clustering effects are much stronger in knowledge-based industries like tech and finance, because ideas are their lifeblood, and workers who live near each other tend to share ideas with each other. Clustering also arises because of the need for employers to have access to a deep pool of skilled workers. As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services, agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering. The smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers. So what’s to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live decent, middle-class lives? And how can the emerging divide between small towns and big cities be arrested? One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically depressed regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas. But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the services class. Wage subsidies, portable pensions and various other incentives for higher wages can be deployed to make today’s low-skilled jobs more like the good office and factory jobs of yesteryear. The alternative may be to watch non-college workers and small towns fall further behind. 12. Which of the following is NOT the reason why more low-skilled workers are shut away from middle-class prosperity? A. The education opportunities are unequally distributed. B. Low-skilled service jobs are gradually limited to the suburbs. C. Few jobs related to offshoring and automation are vacant. D. Low-skilled workers can hardly get a higher pay in city centers. 13. _________ is a case of clustering. A. A center where many colleges and universities gather B. An area where there are a lot of computer companies C. A land where agricultural production is highly automated D. A town where industries specialize in producing masks 14. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the smokestack cities of the last century to _________. A. explain why agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering B. reveal how U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it C. indicate that we cannot emphasize the importance of manufactures too much D. imply that old industrial cities have been transformed into knowledge-based ones 15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. More houses will be built to make life in cities more affordable. B. Research needs to be done in less-populated areas to revive its economy. C. The government plays an irreplaceable role in helping those disadvantaged workers. D. Non-college workers and small town have no alternative but to fall further behind. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box. ___16___ ___17___ If you assume all students learn in the same way, you are absolutely wrong. As teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student. Determine if they have trouble sitting still. Examine how they learn the best—are they auditory (听觉的) learners, visual learners, or physical learners? Use the knowledge to structure your lesson plans. Get involved in your students’ learning.

It is a fearful thing for the traveler, especially if night falls, to hear the howls of the hungry wolves as they approach nearer and nearer. A Russian nobleman, with his wife and his young daughter, was traveling in a sleigh (雪橇) over a barren plain. Around nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on. “There is danger ahead,” he said.“The wolves are out.” The traveler thought that the man was telling him this to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too early in the season for wolves. In spite of the innkeeper‘s repeated warnings, the nobleman and his family left on their way. The driver had worked his entire life for the nobleman. He was a loyal man who loved his master as he loved his own life. The sleigh traveled quickly over the hard snow, and there seemed to be no signs danger. The moon began to shine, and the road looked like shiny silver. Suddenly the little girl said to her father,“What is that strange sound I heard just now?” Her father replied,“Nothing but the wind blowing through the trees.” The girl shut her eyes and kept still for a while.However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and said,“Surely that is not the wind! I heard it again. Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far away in the distance behind him, he heard a howl of the wolves. It was perfectly clear to the nobleman that a pack of wolves had got their smell,and were chasing (追赶) them. 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。 Whispering to the driver the nobleman said, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having found that they couldn't get rid of the wolves, the driver decided to take a risk. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 解密时间：2026.1.29 下午14:55 高2027届2025-2026学年度上期期末调研 英 语 考试时间：2026.1.29 上午15:00-17:00 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) 1.

A Science Video Maker in China is Exploring a Mystery of Water D. How Can Bi Dao Become a Leading Science Video Maker in China 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了毕晓天博士通过研究发现，倒水时气泡大小是冷热水声不同的关键，推翻了以往关于粘度的解释，虽未通过同行评审，但得到专家认可，解开了长期未解之谜。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“ In general, cold water sounds brighter and splashier, while hot water sounds duller and frother. But until recently no one really had evidence to explain the difference.(一般来说，冷水听起来更加清脆、更富有冲击力，而热水则听起来较为沉闷、泡沫更多。但直到最近，还没有人能拿出确凿的证据来解释这种差异。)”和第四段“It’s all about the size of the bubbles that form during pouring, he says, and this insight may have implications for how we enjoy everyday food and drink.(他说，这完全取决于在倒的过程中形成的气泡的大小。而这一发现或许会对我们日常享受食物和饮品的方式产生影响)”可知，毕晓天的研究核心是：气泡大小决定了冷热倒水声音不同，故选B。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He produces and stars in his own popular science videos, and decided that the sounds water makes at different temperatures was a good topic.(他不仅制作而且还是自己那些热门科普视频的主角，认为水在不同温度下发出的声音是一个很好的研究主题)”以及所在句“He poked around looking for published research on the subject and came away disappointed.(他poked around有关该课题的已发表研究成果，但结果却令他感到失望)”可知，他确定了研究主题，并且开始随意查找有关该课题的已发表研究成果，故划线词意思是“随意、非正式地查找信息”。故选B。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Could you tell which sound was hot and which was cold?(你能分辨出哪个声音是热水，哪个是冷水吗？)”以及文章主要说明了毕晓天博士通过研究发现，倒水时气泡大小是冷热水声不同的关键，推翻了以往的关于粘度的解释。可知，A选项“为何你能听到水的温度”最符合文章标题。故选A。 B It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, who was 65，fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty.” At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival. DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. “You’re on the railroad tracks，”DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now! The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door fail to be opened due to the collision(碰撞), so DiPinto quickly run to the other side and was able to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day. “Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr., Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.” 4. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1? A. Esposito’s car hit another vehicle. B. Esposito drove too fast. C. Esposito didn’t know the route well. D. A running train crashed into Esposito’s car. 5. How was Janice Esposito right after the accident? A. She felt all right. B. She was badly hurt. C. She got stuck in the car. D. She completely lost her consciousness. 6. How was Janice Esposito rescued from her car? A. Through the window on the driver’s side. B. Through the door on the driver’s side. C. Through the window on the passenger’s side. D. Through the door on the passenger’s side. 7. What did Gregory Miglino Jr. mean by “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck”? A. DiPinto was not a professional firefighter. B. DiPinto rushed to save life without thinking about himself. C. DiPinto was a special firefighter who preferred wearing pajamas. D. DiPinto was unable to find a fire truck when the accident happened. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Janice Esposito的车撞上了另一辆车，又被甩回了铁轨上，受了伤被困在了车里。65岁的志愿消防员Dipinto不顾自己，冲过去把Janice Esposito救了出来的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was plashed back onto the tracks.”（Esposito的车刚穿过铁轨，就撞上了另一辆车，又被甩回了铁轨上）可知，事故的原因是Esposito的车撞了另一辆车。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.”（她受伤了，但主要是被碰撞和弹出的安全气囊所惊吓，她被困在车里）可知，Esposito在事故中被困在了车里。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible.（他把安全气囊放在一边，抓住她的胳膊，把她从乘客座位上拉到自己身边，直到最后把她救了出来，并尽快把她带到安全的地方）”可知，Esposito被从乘客座位那边的门救了出来。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As it happened, Pete Dipinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, Dipinto who was 65, fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation.（事情发生时，Pete Dipinto刚要睡觉，突然听到一阵刺耳的声音，并看到事故发生在离他卧室窗户不远的地方。现年65岁的DiPinto是一名志愿消防员和退休教师，他拿起手电筒，毫不犹豫地冲了出去）”可推知，“这位英雄是穿着睡衣来的，而不是坐着消防车”是指DiPinto不顾自己，冲过去救人。故选B项。 C Slow-moving tropical cyclones will cause greater devastation According to related new research, tropical cyclones (热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer. It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities. “Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.” According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each spot. Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate change. Kossin’s work was considered to be “important and new” and “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says. 8. Why are cyclones crawling more slowly more destructive? A. They get higher wind speeds inside. B. They cause more serious climate change. C. They move poleward and affect more regions. D. They make rains and winds stay longer over a place. 9. What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific? A. The speed of the storms there slows more. B. It has much wetter air. C. It has higher risk of being hit by storms. D. The storms there cause greater damage. 10. Why does the author quote Christina Patricola’s words? A. To attract more attention to research on storms. B. To emphasize the importance of studying storms. C. To show she is an authoritative scientist in this field. D. To demonstrate that Kossin’s work has been recognized. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Science. C. Health. D. Education. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一项研究发现：根据相关的最新研究，热带气旋，从飓风到台风，在地球上移动的速度比几十年前更慢，这意味着它们具有更大的破坏力，而且持续时间更长。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities. (虽然气旋在地面上移动的速度较慢，但是它们在里面的风速仍然很高，相反，这使得强降雨在社区上空停留的时间更长)”可知，气旋移动的速度慢，那么强降雨在社区上空停留的时间更长，这样他的破坏力更大。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016.(他指出，从1949年到2016年，全球热带气旋的速度平均减缓了10%)”以及“In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. (在北太平洋的西部，它的速度下降了近三分之一)”可知，在北太平西部的气旋的速度降低的更慢。故选A。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Kossin’s work was considered to be “important and new” and “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.(加州劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室气候与生态系统科学部门的科学家克里斯蒂娜·帕特里科拉认为，科辛的研究成果“意义重大且新颖”，并且“极具说服力”)”可推知，作者引用克里斯蒂娜·帕特里科拉的话是为了表明科辛的工作得到了认可。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to related new research, tropical cyclones (热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer. (根据相关的最新研究，热带气旋，从飓风到台风，在地球上移动的速度比几十年前更慢，这意味着它们具有更大的破坏力，而且持续时间更长)”以及全文主要是来说明这个关于热带气旋的研究结果，是和科学研究相关的文章。所以文章可能使在报纸的科学版块出现。故选B。 D Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-skilled Workers Forty years ago, Americans who didn’t go to college could move to cities and get good jobs in manufacturing or office work. But starting in about 1980, these jobs began to disappear, thanks in part to offshoring(离岸外包) and automation. Workers without a college education were increasingly moved to low-skilled service jobs. Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well. High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集) in cities, while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas — workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into town. Thus, a major route to middle-class prosperity has been closed off. Some of this can be explained by virtue of the two basic economic reasons for cities to exist in a modern economy — agglomeration(聚集) and clustering. Agglomeration refers to the tendency of businesses of all types, but especially manufacturers, to locate near each other. This happens because employers want to be near to employees, who want to be near to the businesses they work for and buy goods from. The result is a city with lots of different industries. Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to want to be near each other. Clustering effects are much stronger in knowledge-based industries like tech and finance, because ideas are their lifeblood, and workers who live near each other tend to share ideas with each other. Clustering also arises because of the need for employers to have access to a deep pool of skilled workers. As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services, agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering. The smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers. So what’s to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live decent, middle-class lives? And how can the emerging divide between small towns and big cities be arrested? One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically depressed regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas. But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the services class. Wage subsidies, portable pensions and various other incentives for higher wages can be deployed to make today’s low-skilled jobs more like the good office and factory jobs of yesteryear. The alternative may be to watch non-college workers and small towns fall further behind. 12. Which of the following is NOT the reason why more low-skilled workers are shut away from middle-class prosperity? A. The education opportunities are unequally distributed. B. Low-skilled service jobs are gradually limited to the suburbs. C. Few jobs related to offshoring and automation are vacant. D. Low-skilled workers can hardly get a higher pay in city centers. 13. _________ is a case of clustering. A. A center where many colleges and universities gather B. An area where there are a lot of computer companies C. A land where agricultural production is highly automated D. A town where industries specialize in producing masks 14. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the smokestack cities of the last century to _________. A. explain why agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering B. reveal how U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it C. indicate that we cannot emphasize the importance of manufactures too much D. imply that old industrial cities have been transformed into knowledge-based ones 15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A More houses will be built to make life in cities more affordable. B. Research needs to be done in less-populated areas to revive its economy. C. The government plays an irreplaceable role in helping those disadvantaged workers. D. Non-college workers and small town have no alternative but to fall further behind. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章指出美国经济转型背景下，城市中低技能工作渐趋消失，非大学生群体再难通过移居城市找到体面工作并提高收入，处境堪忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well. High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集)in cities, while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas — workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into town.(在教育不平等加剧的同时，地域不平等也在加剧。高技能职业越来越多地集中在城市，而低技能服务岗位在城市中心之外越来越多。与此同时，制造业和办公室工作等中等技能工作的工资在城市和农村地区是平等的——这些工作的工人不能再通过搬到城镇来获得太多的加薪)”可知，越来越多的低技能工人被挡在中产阶级繁荣之外，是由于教育机会分配不均、低技能服务岗位逐渐被限制在郊区以及低技能工人在城市中心很难获得更高的工资，C项“几乎没有与外包和自动化相关的职位空缺”不是其原因。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to want to be near each other.(另一方面，产业集群效应指的是同一行业内的公司想要彼此靠近的趋势)”可知，产业集群效应是指同一行业内的公司彼此靠近，B项“一个地区有很多电脑公司”属于产业集群效应。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services(随着美国经济将制造业转移到海外或将其自动化，随着消费者从购买更多的实体商品转向购买更多的数字服务)”可知，美国经济在转型，所以作者在最后一句“The smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers.(上世纪烟囱林立的城市已经让位于科技中心和金融中心)”提到上世纪烟囱林立的城市已经让位于科技中心和金融中心，是暗示老工业城市已经转变为知识型城市。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。倒数第二段中“One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically depressed regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas.(一个想法是在城市里建造更多的住房，降低租金，让城市更适合每个人居住。另一种想法是，利用研究型大学将知识工作者分散到人口较少的地区，从而振兴经济萧条地区)”提到的解决措施均是政府权利范围内的事情，结合最后一段中“But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the services class.(但最终，政府可能得介入并代表服务类进行干预)”可推知，政府在帮助弱势工人方面发挥着不可替代的作用。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students.

It is a fearful thing for the traveler, especially if night falls, to hear the howls of the hungry wolves as they approach nearer and nearer. A Russian nobleman, with his wife and his young daughter, was traveling in a sleigh (雪橇) over a barren plain. Around nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on. “There is danger ahead,” he said.“The wolves are out.” The traveler thought that the man was telling him this to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too early in the season for wolves. In spite of the innkeeper‘s repeated warnings, the nobleman and his family left on their way. The driver had worked his entire life for the nobleman. He was a loyal man who loved his master as he loved his own life. The sleigh traveled quickly over the hard snow and there seemed to be no signs danger. The moon began to shine, and the road looked like shiny silver. Suddenly the little girl said to her father,“What is that strange sound I heard just now?” Her father replied,“Nothing but the wind blowing through the trees.” The girl shut her eyes and kept still for a while.However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and said,“Surely that is not the wind! I heard it again. Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far away in the distance behind him, he heard a howl of the wolves. It was perfectly clear to the nobleman that a pack of wolves had got their smell,and were chasing (追赶) them. 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。 Whispering to the driver, the nobleman said, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having found that they couldn't get rid of the wolves, the driver decided to take a risk. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Whispering to the driver, the nobleman said, “Hurry up! Wolves are chasing us!” His voice trembled with fear, and his wife held their little daughter tightly in her arms, her face as white as snow. The driver whipped the horses fiercely, and the sleigh sped forward like an arrow over the silver snow. But the howls of the wolves grew louder and closer, echoing through the silent forest. The horses neighed in panic, their hooves thudding wildly on the snow. The nobleman clutched the side of the sleigh, his heart pounding — he deeply regretted ignoring the innkeeper’s warnings, realizing they were in mortal danger now. Having found that they couldn’t get rid of the wolves, the driver decided to take a risk. He suddenly turned the sleigh toward a thick stand of pine trees by the road and stopped it sharply. Grabbing a heavy wooden stick from the sleigh, he shouted to the nobleman, “Protect your family! I’ll hold them off!” The wolves swarmed forward, their eyes glowing red in the moonlight. The driver fought bravely, swinging the stick with all his strength, hitting the wolves that lunged at him. The nobleman joined in, using a knife to defend his family. After a fierce struggle, the wolves, wounded and frightened, finally slunk away into the dark forest. The three survived, forever grateful to the loyal driver. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在俄罗斯一片常年积雪的森林附近，一位贵族不顾客栈老板的警告，执意带着妻女乘雪橇赶路。不久，他们听到远处狼嚎，意识到狼群正循着气味追赶而来。忠心的车夫一路疾驰，可危险已然逼近。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“贵族低声对车夫说，”可以预测续写这段主要内容：贵族发现狼群追来，急忙让车夫加速，雪橇飞速前行。可狼嚎越来越近，众人惊恐，他后悔不听劝告，陷入绝境。 ②由第二段首句内容“发现无法摆脱狼群，车夫决定冒险一搏。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：车夫冒险将车停在松林，勇敢搏斗阻挡狼群，贵族也奋力护家。狼群最终败退，三人获救，十分感激忠心的车夫。 2.续写线索：发现狼群追来——众人惊恐——陷入绝境——勇敢搏斗狼群——狼群败退——贵族感激车夫 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.颤抖： tremble/shake ②.抓住：clutch/seize ③.忽略：ignore/neglect 情绪类 ①.恐惧：fear/terror/horror ②.感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
