She sets out to learn more about her late grandma Jean, who was given up by her family as a child. Vicky then travels 6,000 miles to Japan to track down her great-grandpa’s Second World War grave (坟墓). (《Line Of Duty》中的Vicky McClure在这部新剧中探索她的家谱。她开始更多地了解她已故的奶奶Jean，Jean小时候被家人抛弃了。然后Vicky前往6000英里外的日本，寻找她祖父的二战坟墓)”可知，这个节目主要讲述Vicky McClure探索自己的家谱和家族历史，因此很可能是一部纪录片。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了四部即将播出的影视作品，包括它们的播放平台、播放时间以及内容简介等。因此，这篇文章应该出现在“What’s On This Week?(本周节目预告)”这样的栏目中。故选D项。 B Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible,” Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that counts.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades “seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 4. How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope? A. They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. B. They considered it as a fact at once. C. They were ignorant of it completely. D. They doubted it till evidence arrived. 5. Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A. Brave and generous. B. Adventurous and devoted. C. Creative but timid. D. Reserved but famous. 6. Why did Saudan go skiing? A. To escape his past life as a laborer. B. To push himself to new limits. C. To document adventures for fame. D. To test new skiing equipment. 7. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan? A. He faced extreme dangers in his career. B. He was cautious during his expeditions. C. His skiing methods were widely accepted. D. His achievements were often questioned. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了瑞士极限滑雪先驱西尔万·索丹的滑雪生涯，包括他在斯宾塞雪槽55度斜坡上的惊人成就、他对滑雪的热爱和追求以及他面对的危险。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks.(当地人并不相信他真的做到了，直到一架飞机飞过山顶并拍下了他的滑雪轨迹)”可知，人们直到看到证据才相信索丹在斯宾塞雪槽55度斜坡上的成就。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real.(西尔万·索丹对滑雪成就是如此雄心勃勃，以至于人们很难相信他的成就是真实的)”和他所说的话“The first to dare something are the real adventurers.(第一个敢于尝试的人才是真正的冒险家)”可推知，索丹具有冒险精神。再根据第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades ‘seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,’ said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri.(《华盛顿邮报》说，在斯宾塞库卢瓦滑雪后，他花了20年时间寻求更大的挑战，并尝试新的方法。他开发了一种新的滑雪风格，并为陡峭的斜坡引进了创新的设备，但他忽视了安全预防措施，比如他成功地降落了俄勒冈州的胡德山、坦桑尼亚的乞力马扎罗山和尼泊尔的道拉吉里山)”可推知，索热衷于滑雪。综上，索丹具有冒险精神且热衷于滑雪。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中西尔万·索丹的话“The first to dare something are the real adventurers.(第一个敢于尝试的人才是真正的冒险家)”、第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades ‘seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,’(在斯宾塞库卢瓦滑雪后，他花了二十年时间‘寻求更大的挑战和测试新方法’)”和最后一段中“He ‘spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,’ said The New York Times.(他‘一生都在挑战重力、雪崩和讣告作者们，’《纽约时报》说。)”可推知，索丹热衷于冒险，滑雪是为了不断挑战自己，把自己推向新的极限。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He ‘spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,’ said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind.(他‘一生都在挑战重力、雪崩和讣告作者们，’《纽约时报》说。他坚持认为，心理上的准备有助于控制恐惧，但死亡从未远离他的脑海)”可推知，《纽约时报》暗示索丹在职业生涯中一直在挑战极限，随时准备着讣告，面临着极端的危险。故选A项。 C Every two weeks, a language is at risk of disappearing. To help stop the tide, a project is exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) technology and immersive (沉浸式的) storytelling to try to restore endangered indigenous cultures and languages. Created by NowHere Media before the start of our project, Kusunda is an immersive interactive film that encourages viewers to learn key words of the Kusunda language, which is under threat of disappearing in Nepal. The film documents the nomadic way of life of the Kusunda people. It features their language, in the form of interviews with its last remaining speakers. NowHere Media worked closely with Lil Bahadur, just one of 150 Kusunda speakers left in the world, and his granddaughter Hima. Lil almost lost his mother tongue when he gave up one of his indigenous culture — the hunter-gatherer lifestyle— to live in the city at the age of 18. But researchers discovered that Lil’s teenage granddaughter was ardent about keeping her grandfather’s language and culture alive. “If the Kusunda language disappears, then the existence of the Kusunda people in Nepal will also fade away,” Hima said. “We’ll lose our identity. That’s why I want to save our language.” As to immersive technology, StoryLab received a grant from the British Academy to evaluate its potential for bringing endangered languages back to life. Our research study, Reviving Kusunda, compared the interactive VR experience alongside a short film created during the project. We threw light on the role of immersive technologies in creating emotional understanding of the subject in comparison to regular film. Participants in our research — both members of the Kusunda community in Nepal and the public in the UK — identified many benefits of using multiple formats. However, they expressed a clear preference for VR. They highlighted the importance of interactivity and immersion in engaging viewers in the subject matter. With the VR experience, viewers are part of the story — a key aspect that helps revive stories and memories from the past. 8. What can be inferred about Kusunda from paragraph 2? A. It is a device to print short stories. B. It is a film to state a group’s industries. C. It is a means of saving an endangered tongue. D. It is an app to promote a type of film. 9. What happened to Lil when he was aged 18? A. He had to drop out of school. B. He promoted his native language. C. He made a huge fortune in a city. D. He removed from part of his tradition. 10. What does the underlined word “ardent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Sensitive. B. Astonished. C. Well-informed. D. Enthusiastic. 11. Why are the public in the UK mentioned? A. To show they were in favor of the project. B. To state they enjoyed listening to distant tales. C. To prove they were crazy about advanced technology. D. To praise them for saving many endangered customs. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个借助虚拟现实（VR）技术和沉浸式故事讲述来拯救濒危土著文化和语言的项目。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Kusunda is an immersive interactive film that encourages viewers to learn key words of the Kusunda language, which is under threat of disappearing in Nepal.(《库孙达》是一部沉浸式互动电影，鼓励观众学习库孙达语的关键词，这种语言在尼泊尔面临消失的威胁)” 可知，这部电影旨在帮助人们学习濒危的库孙达语，是拯救濒危语言的一种方式。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lil almost lost his mother tongue when he gave up one of his indigenous culture — the hunter-gatherer lifestyle — to live in the city at the age of 18.(18 岁时，利尔放弃了他的一种本土文化 —— 狩猎采集生活方式，搬到城市生活，几乎因此失去了他的母语)” 可知，利尔 18 岁时脱离了部分传统生活方式。故选D。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“If the Kusunda language disappears, then the existence of the Kusunda people in Nepal will also fade away, ” Hima said. “We’ll lose our identity. That’s why I want to save our language. ”(“如果库孙达语消失，那么尼泊尔库孙达族的存在也将逐渐消失”希玛说。“我们将失去我们的身份。这就是为什么我想拯救我们的语言。”)” 可知，希玛非常想拯救自己民族的语言，对保留祖父的语言和文化充满热情。由此猜测，划线词为“热情的”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Participants in our research — both members of the Kusunda community in Nepal and the public in the UK — identified many benefits of using multiple formats. However, they expressed a clear preference for VR.(我们研究的参与者 —— 尼泊尔库孙达社区成员和英国公众 —— 都认识到使用多种形式的诸多好处。然而，他们明确表示更喜欢虚拟现实技术)” 可知，提到英国公众是为了表明他们认可该项目中使用的沉浸式技术，对项目持支持态度。故选A。 D Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as “sit” and “stay”, and even associate words with their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that. But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have. A recent study conducted in Hungary, appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as “ball” or “frisbee”, and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not. Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said “A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven.” Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans. Despite the study’s promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words. Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question. 12. What does “referential understanding” refer to? A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands. C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training. 13. How did researchers test dogs’ brain responses? A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects. C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects. 14. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study? A. It overestimates dogs’ cognitive abilities. B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field. C. It proves dogs know specific words very well. D. It provides a new insight about dogs’ evolution. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. What dog owners’ belief about their pets is. B. What dogs’ response to the different objects is. C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands. D. Whether referential understanding exists in Dogs. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于狗是否具有指称理解能力，即是否能在听到物体名称时在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像的科学研究。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.(但科学一直难以确定，狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时，是否真的会在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像，这种与语言的关系被称为referential understanding，这表明它们对人类语言有着更深的理解)”可知，referential understanding指的前文中“狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时，在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像”这一现象，所以，referential understanding指的是“在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像”。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as ‘ball’ or ‘frisbee,’ and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.(研究人员播放了狗主人说出物体名称（如‘球’或‘飞盘’）的音频片段，然后向狗展示相应的物体或不同的物体，以观察当物体与单词匹配时，与不匹配时相比，狗是否会表现出明显的大脑反应)”可知，研究人员是通过将物体与单词匹配来测试狗的大脑反应的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.(亚利桑那州立大学的克莱夫·温恩在脸书上争论说，这项研究只证明了狗对刺激物的反应，而不是对特定单词的理解。他怀疑狗是否真正理解单词的确切含义)”可知，克莱夫·温恩认为这项研究高估了狗的认知能力，只是证明了狗对刺激物的反应，而不是对特定单词的理解。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding(但科学一直难以确定，狗和其他动物在听到物体的名字时，是否真的会在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像，这种与语言的关系被称为指称理解)”和最后一段中“However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.(然而，这种长期的共同居住历史是否有助于它们理解指称语言的能力仍然是一个悬而未决的问题)”可知，文章主要介绍了关于狗是否具有指称理解能力的科学研究，即探讨狗是否能在听到物体名称时在脑海中形成该物体的心理图像。故选D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。 How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. ____16____ They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks, there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body. Accept what you dislike about your body. ____17____ It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it. Be able to compartmentalize (隔开) to a degree by loving your body overall, even when you know it’s imperfect. Practice positive self-talk. If you feel bad about yourself, you may find yourself putting yourself down a lot. You may engage in negative self-talk, which means you find yourself saying things to yourself like, “I can’t believe how fat you are” throughout the day. Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. ____18____ Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. ____19____ Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. ____20____ If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important.

You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“如何改善对自己外表的看法”这一主题展开，通过五个方法帮助读者建立身体自信。 【16题详解】 后文“They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. (它们很容易导致不安全感)”主语为代词They，说明空处需要填入的话中有明确的被They指代的对象，且应为可数名词复数，即空处需要说明是什么导致了不安全感。E选项“人们每年都会接触到大量关于美的标准的信息”中的“关于美的标准的信息”恰好说明普遍焦虑的成因，是They指代的对象，符合语境。故选E。 17题详解】 前文“Accept what you dislike about your body. (接受你对自己身体不满意的地方)”为第二段的总起句，是建立身体自信的第一个方法。空处开始展开说明为何要这样做，且后文“It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. (期望自己始终喜欢身体的每个部位是不现实的)”指出人不可能总喜欢身体每个部位的结论。空处既承接前文说明为何要接受对身体的不满，又为后文的结论提供前提。C选项“人们总有些身体部位令自己不满”满足此要求，衔接前后文。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. (尝试用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话)”指出练习积极的自我对话的方法。设空处是对前文的总结，需补充积极心理暗示的效果。G选项“最初可能感到不自然，但长期会提升自我价值感”既承接前文说明这种方法最初的感受，又点明长期的实施效果，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 前文“Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. (许多低自尊者通过节食或健康饮食来改变身体)”说明低自尊者的做法，后文“Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. (要想着将健康饮食视为滋养身体而非强迫改变的方式)”提到在思想上要如何看待这种做法。这表明空处需要一句能承接前文，既表明正确饮食的作用，又能引出后文的过渡性文字。F选项“正确饮食能提升自我感觉，但需保持正确态度”，既承认饮食的作用，又强调思想态度上的转变。故选F。 【20题详解】 后文“If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. (若自我感觉糟糕，支持很重要)”提到支持的重要性，且最后一段整段都围绕寻求周围人积极的支持展开，说明处于本段首句的设空处应谈及关于支持的内容。B选项“让自己置身于支持性人群中”，与后文核心词“support”直接对应，且后文“Seek out friends and family members who are positive. (寻找积极的朋友和家人)”正是该建议的实施方式。故选B。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I needed to have a new phone installed (安装).

I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash (发泄) a storm of anger on him. “I’m taking you to school.” Dad said, as rain came down in sheets and lightning flashed in the sky. “You are not used to driving in this kind of weather.” he continued, reaching for his boots. “I have been driving that route for many years. I can drive it today.” With these words, I struggled into my jacket, grabbed my bag and stormed out of the house. “Don’t take the shortcut, Donna!” Dad shouted after me, throwing through the car window a big pack of sandwiches. Dad had been working as a building worker when a heart attack last spring forced him to leave his job earlier than he had planned. Dad began to stay home and took over the household chores. As the medical bills mounted I realized I would have to work part-time after my school day to make ends meet. The new arrangement was a disaster for me. Exhausted after a day of dealing with my academic routine and food delivery, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal and a good night’s sleep. During the months that followed, Dad’s cooking somehow was getting worse. We dined on smelly baked potatoes and, of course, hard egg sandwiches. I would remember the time Dad had eaten every piece of potatoes on his plate and complimented (恭维) the dinner though I discovered later how he disliked it. So I wouldn’t say anything to him, even about the endless sandwiches. It was much harder for me to hold my peace after Dad served such meals for the third night in a row. As far as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found my blue skirt badly folded, I could only burst out. I had had it! 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。 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Helpless and hungry I was in a state of desperation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. I hoped it didn’t rain enough to flood the road but my wheels were nearly in the water as I drove along. It was raining increasingly heavily with lightning flashing nonstop. I felt a bit scared, attempting to drive backwards but in vain. Gradually, the road ahead was totally covered and turned into a running stream. The last straw was when my car was power-off all of a sudden. I got completely stuck as it grew darker and darker. Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. The sight of the smelly sandwiches that Dad baked today gave me hope for the best. I grabbed them and swallowed to fill my empty stomach, refreshed and grateful. “Donna!” Oh, it was Dad, wet through. “I’m throwing a rope,” he yelled. “Hang on to it and walk towards me”. Opening the car door, I grabbed the rope and inched out. “Be careful!” Dad said quietly. “I got you Dad!” I hugged him, tears in my eyes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 “我” 和爸爸因为家务事发生争吵后，“我” 不顾爸爸的警告执意开车走捷径去上学，在途中遭遇困难的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“十分钟后，我无视爸爸不要走捷径的警告，驶离了主路。”可知，第一段围绕走捷径后遇到的状况展开，如路况因雨发生的变化，车的状况等。 ②由第二段首句内容“又无助又饥饿，我陷入了绝望之中。”可知，第二段要续写在绝望中如何得到解救，以及和爸爸关系的缓和。 2.续写线索：开车走捷径——路况变差车子被困——处于绝望——爸爸出现解救——关系缓和 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab /seize ②尝试：attempt /try ③打开：open /unlock 情绪类： ①害怕的：scared /frightened ②感激的：grateful /thankful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I hoped it didn’t rain enough to flood the road but my wheels were nearly in the water as I drove along.（运用了省略 that 的宾语从句以及 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】The last straw was when my car was power-off all of a sudden.（运用了 when 引导的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2023级高三上学期9月月考英语试题 本试卷分四部分，共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项：1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔填写在答题卡上，将条形码贴在答题卡规定的位置上。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔将答案标号填涂在答题卡上对应题目标号的位置上，非选择题用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔书写在答题卡的对应框内，超出答题区书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试题卷上的答案无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡收回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible,” Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that counts.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades “seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 4. How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope? A. They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. B. They considered it as a fact at once. C. They were ignorant of it completely. D. They doubted it till evidence arrived. 5. Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A. Brave and generous. B. Adventurous and devoted. C. Creative but timid. D. Reserved but famous. 6. Why did Saudan go skiing? A. To escape his past life as a laborer. B. To push himself to new limits. C. To document adventures for fame. D. To test new skiing equipment. 7. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan? A. He faced extreme dangers in his career. B. He was cautious during his expeditions. C. His skiing methods were widely accepted. D. His achievements were often questioned. C Every two weeks, a language is at risk of disappearing. To help stop the tide, a project is exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) technology and immersive (沉浸式的) storytelling to try to restore endangered indigenous cultures and languages. Created by NowHere Media before the start of our project, Kusunda is an immersive interactive film that encourages viewers to learn key words of the Kusunda language, which is under threat of disappearing in Nepal. The film documents the nomadic way of life of the Kusunda people. It features their language, in the form of interviews with its last remaining speakers. NowHere Media worked closely with Lil Bahadur, just one of 150 Kusunda speakers left in the world, and his granddaughter Hima. Lil almost lost his mother tongue when he gave up one of his indigenous culture — the hunter-gatherer lifestyle— to live in the city at the age of 18. But researchers discovered that Lil’s teenage granddaughter was ardent about keeping her grandfather’s language and culture alive. “If the Kusunda language disappears then the existence of the Kusunda people in Nepal will also fade away,” Hima said. “We’ll lose our identity. That’s why I want to save our language.” As to immersive technology, StoryLab received a grant from the British Academy to evaluate its potential for bringing endangered languages back to life. Our research study, Reviving Kusunda, compared the interactive VR experience alongside a short film created during the project. We threw light on the role of immersive technologies in creating emotional understanding of the subject in comparison to regular film. Participants in our research — both members of the Kusunda community in Nepal and the public in the UK — identified many benefits of using multiple formats. However, they expressed a clear preference for VR. They highlighted the importance of interactivity and immersion in engaging viewers in the subject matter. With the VR experience, viewers are part of the story — a key aspect that helps revive stories and memories from the past. 8. What can be inferred about Kusunda from paragraph 2? A. It is a device to print short stories. B. It is a film to state a group’s industries. C. It is a means of saving an endangered tongue. D. It is an app to promote a type of film. 9. What happened to Lil when he was aged 18? A. He had to drop out of school. B. He promoted his native language. C. He made a huge fortune in a city. D. He removed from part of his tradition. 10. What does the underlined word “ardent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Sensitive. B. Astonished. C. Well-informed. D. Enthusiastic. 11. Why are the public in the UK mentioned? A. To show they were in favor of the project. B. To state they enjoyed listening to distant tales. C. To prove they were crazy about advanced technology. D. To praise them for saving many endangered customs. D Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as “sit” and “stay”, and even associate words with their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that. But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have. A recent study conducted in Hungary, appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as “ball” or “frisbee”, and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not. Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said “A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven.” Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans. Despite the study’s promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs’ responses to stimuli (刺激物), rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words. Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question. 12. What does “referential understanding” refer to? A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands. C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training. 13. How did researchers test dogs’ brain responses? A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects. C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects. 14. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study? A. It overestimates dogs’ cognitive abilities. B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field. C. It proves dogs know specific words very well. D. It provides a new insight about dogs’ evolution. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. What dog owners’ belief about their pets is. B. What dogs’ response to the different objects is. C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands. D.

I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash (发泄) a storm of anger on him. “I’m taking you to school.” Dad said, as rain came down in sheets and lightning flashed in the sky. “You are not used to driving in this kind of weather.” he continued, reaching for his boots. “I have been driving that route for many years. I can drive it today.” With these words, I struggled into my jacket, grabbed my bag and stormed out of the house. “Don’t take the shortcut, Donna!” Dad shouted after me, throwing through the car window a big pack of sandwiches. Dad had been working as a building worker when a heart attack last spring forced him to leave his job earlier than he had planned. Dad began to stay home and took over the household chores. As the medical bills mounted I realized I would have to work part-time after my school day to make ends meet. The new arrangement was a disaster for me. Exhausted after a day of dealing with my academic routine and food delivery, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal and a good night’s sleep. During the months that followed, Dad’s cooking somehow was getting worse. We dined on smelly baked potatoes and, of course, hard egg sandwiches. I would remember the time Dad had eaten every piece of potatoes on his plate and complimented (恭维) the dinner though I discovered later how he disliked it. So I wouldn’t say anything to him, even about the endless sandwiches. It was much harder for me to hold my peace after Dad served such meals for the third night in a row. As far as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found my blue skirt badly folded, I could only burst out. I had had it! 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。 Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
