B Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11. "We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. " The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market. With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes. 24. What do we know about Susanna Reid? A. She enjoys embarrassing her guests. B. She has started a new programme. C. She dislikes working early in the morning. D. She has had a light budget for her family. 25. How does Matt Tebbutt help Susanna? A. He buys cooking materials for her. B. He prepares food for her kids. C. He assists her in cooking matters. D. He invites guest families for her. 26. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4? A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Provide some advice for the readers. C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Keeping Fit by Eating Smart B. Balancing Our Daily Diet C. Making yourself a Perfect Chef D. Cooking Well for Less C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected 29. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？ A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200. 31 What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. D We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 32 What does the author think of new devices? A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old. C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly. 33. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 34. Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. 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。 Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room.

Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? _____36_____, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.

They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. _____39_____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. _____40_____. A. While all of them are useful B. Whatever you’re looking for C. If you’re experimenting with a color D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G.

I have a deep passion for cultivating flowers there. When I cast my ____42____ upon my dahlia seedlings, I was shocked to find ____43____ in their leaves. It was clear that some pests were causing trouble. At first, I decided to try a method I had read about.

They claimed that the ____45____ edges of the crushed eggshells would stop the slimy invaders (入侵者). I gathered a collection of dried eggshells, crushed them, and made a white circle around the seedlings, like a small fence. ____46____, the next morning, to my disappointment, I saw a fat slug right inside the circle, still feasting on the leaves. I looked closely and realized that the slug’s slimy body enabled itself to move ____47____ over the eggshells. This attempt didn’t work. Then, I decided to experiment with coffee grounds.

Instead of ____53____ against the slugs in a conventional way, I should find their natural enemies. I dug a shallow pit in the corner of the garden to hold water, which I hoped would ____54____ small frogs. I also hung a simple birdhouse on a tree. Every morning, I could hear birds chirping as they searched for food. Slowly, the slugs disappeared. This experience taught me a valuable lesson. Gardening isn’t about fighting nature but living in harmony with it.

I didn’t even hope to rank in the top half of the over-50 age group. What scared me most wasn’t losing, but others’ whispers and laughter. Most of all, I couldn’t bear the thought of my son Zane seeing his dad as an “ultimate loser.” I’ve never been a sports fan, and I even find “aerobic (有氧的) exercise” unbearable. But that summer, my wife urged me to work out, and Zane came up with a surprisingly bold idea: “Let’s do the triathlon together! I’ll cheer so loud you’ll hear me anywhere!” I couldn’t say no to him, so a few weeks later, I signed up unwillingly. At the base camp, panic washed over me as I looked around. Everyone was fully prepared: some had sharp muscle lines, and others wore professional triathlon suits. But me? I’d grabbed a pair of sneakers randomly from the drawer, my goggles (泳镜) were second-hand, and my bike was so old that everything creaked except the bell. “Dad, your bike’s cool — it’s like a hero’s ride!” Zane whispered. A terrible thought still hit me: I might really end up last. The race started with a 1.5 km swim in the icy lake. When the cold water reached my chest, I panicked — I’d totally forgotten cold water makes you breathe fast. My goggles fogged up, but I struggled to swim, choking on water several times. By the time I got to the shore, most players had already ridden off on their bikes. Cycling, I held the handles tight to pedal hard, but my bike brakes (刹车装置) were rubbing all the way. As one rider after another roared past me, a 70-year-old man even shouted, “Come on! You can do it!” His encouragement felt more like embarrassment — even an old man was faster than me. “Dad, don’t look at them! Look at me!” Zane rode alongside the track, waving. “You’re doing better than yesterday’s practice!” The final part was running, my least favorite. My sneakers were already out of shape and my legs felt as heavy as stones, so I could only drag them forward, maybe slower than walking. But I bit my lip to keep running. “Dad, one step at a time!” Zane called. What’s worse, an official ambulance followed — ready if I fell in a faint (晕倒). Yet I kept going, for Zane, and for the promise I’d made to myself. 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。 Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Zane interrupted my excuses: “Dad, you finished the whole race!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2025-2026学年高二下期03月开学测试(一) 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

W: Me too, I have to prepare for my biology exam. But didn’t you say last week you had overdue library novels? M: Oh, right! I completely forgot to return them with all my assignments. W: You should probably take care of that first, or you might get a late fee added to your account. M: Good idea. Thanks for reminding me. Shall we meet inside the library?

Why did Lena decide to join a dance academy? A. Her teacher recommended it. B. She hoped to become a dance instructor. C. She wanted to improve her technical skills. 16. Why does the man mention his friend’s experience of planning the dance for a show? A. To explain the importance of teamwork. B. To show how difficult it is to create original work. C. To encourage Lena to try to plan the dance for a show. 17. What does Lena say about international dance competitions? A. They are highly competitive. B. They often take place in large theaters. C. They provide valuable networking opportunities. 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. A 【解析】 【原文】M: Lena, I know you’ve been dancing for years. Did you start directly with Contemporary dance when you were young? W: No, not really. My mother put me in ballet classes at age six and I’ve carried that with me ever since. That’s really been my true foundation as a dancer. M: I see. So what eventually led you to join a national dance academy? Was it mainly your teacher’s recommendation? W: Not really, it came more from my own feeling. I needed to improve my skills further and reach a truly professional level. So it was a very personal decision. M: That makes sense. Speaking of creating and not just performing, have you ever tried to plan the dance for a full show? My friend tried it recently and found that it wasn’t just about teamwork; in fact, creating original work was far harder than he ever expected. W: I completely agree with that. It’s a huge challenge to build a whole routine from nothing, with no one else’s steps to follow. M: I can imagine. And on a different note, you’ve joined a lot of international competitions, right? I’ve always heard they are great events for making professional connections and meeting people. W: That’s true. You certainly can meet a lot of people there. But what impresses me most is that the atmosphere is just intensely competitive — everyone’s mainly there to win. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. Who is the speaker talking to? A. His friends.

We won’t need them. Today’s class is different. To start with, thanks for being kind to each other. I always notice everyone’s caring behaviour towards other classmates, and we can all learn to treat each other better. We all want to live in a happier world, right? I’m talking about being polite and how it makes life better for everyone. When I was your age, my dad told me some simple rules. These rules improved my life in school and work, so I want to share them with you all as well. First, never laugh at others for making mistakes. Second, always let people speak and listen to them closely. And most importantly, treat others the way you want to be treated. No need to write these down. Instead, I’ll share a paper with these rules listed. Before we review the next rules, I’d like some of you to present a story with the class about a very polite person you know. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Washington, D.C.

In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11. "We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. " The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market. With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.

D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一档英国电视节目，给观众介绍如何减少食物浪费以及如何以较少的预算做出美味佳肴。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role可知，她开辟了一个新的节目。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day.可知，Susanna在厨师Matt Tebbutt的帮助下，提供如何减少食物浪费同时花费低于£5的一个家庭一整天的食谱。故选C。解题关键词：同义词表达with the help of和help。 【26题详解】 写作意图题。根据文章第四段中的which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.可知，Save Money: Good Food节目是Save Money: Good Health节目之后，给观众一些建议：如何从市场上众多的健康产品中获取价值。也就是给这个节目补充背景信息，故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨要义题。根据文章的整体内容可知，文章作者一直在讲如何用较少的钱做出好的食物。根据文章中的prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.（在资金紧张的情况下，准备可口且有营养的饭菜）；how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. 如何减少食物浪费同时花费低于£5的一个家庭一整天的食谱；how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. 我们自己做这种食物有多便宜；less expensive but still tasty recipes.不贵但仍然可口的食谱。故D项Cooking Well for Less是最佳标题。 【点睛】本篇文章学生感到比较难的是26题，很多学生不知道作者在说什么，不明白作者的意图，感到很茫然。根据文章中的Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money: Good Health,…可知作者是为读者介绍了Save Money这个节目是怎么来的，即是背景信息。 C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected 29. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？ A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人组成的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式……当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12,000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。 【29题详解】 猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在快速替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.和The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。 点睛：长难句解读 In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. 分析：dominant前的and连接两个并列句，all和前面的名词短语trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications是同位语。 句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都导致许多语言消失。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语等主流语言正日益占据主导地位。 D We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 32. What does the author think of new devices? A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old. C They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly. 33. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 34. Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章指出纽约罗彻斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事研究证实：旧电子设备要比新设备耗能高，所以作者主张使用新电子设备，既经济又环保。 【32题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第一段中的That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.可知，使用旧的电子设备对环境和我们的钱包都是坏消息。这些过时的设备做相同的事情要消耗比新设备更多的能量。由此推知作者认为新电子设备环保、节能。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life可知，Babbitt’s team研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.可知，平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备，可以降低44%的耗能。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容可知，因为旧的电子设备耗能高，不环保。所以作者建议停止使用旧的电子设备。故选A。 点睛：熟悉比较句型是彻底理解本文的关键，也是解题的关键。本文中的比较句型： 1. That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the news ones that do the same things 做同样的事，旧的过时的装置比新装置消耗更多能源，对环境有害，浪费钱财。 2. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. 根据Babbitt团队的分析，旧的桌面显示器和阴极射线管箱式电视机是最差的电子设备，它们的耗能和温室气体的排放是1992到2007window的两倍还多。 3. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.他们发现在平板电脑上看的随需变化的娱乐节目比在电视和电脑上看耗能减少了44%。 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。 Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room.

Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? _____36_____, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel. Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. _____37_____, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. _____38_____. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. _____39_____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. _____40_____. A. While all of them are useful B. Whatever you’re looking for C. If you’re experimenting with a color D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了室内设计中颜色的选择问题。 【36题详解】 36题以逗号结尾，后面另起一个简单句，可以从句子结构排除D,E,F,G项。根据前文的三个问句可知，此处是从中选择一种。故选B（不管你寻找哪一种）。 【37题详解】 前文：在过去的许多年里，有许多技术帮助设计者实现这一要点；下文：它们有点复杂。所以A（然而他们都很有用）承上启下。符合题意。 【38题详解】 本空是一个主题句，总说选择小型颜色是我们很熟悉的方法。后文分说小型颜色选择具体用于哪些。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据前文“中型颜色选择通常是指一些例如沙发，餐桌或者书架等家具的颜色选择”，接着表明这种范围的颜色选择是比小型颜色选择在两种方式上更高一级，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据前文the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant（你所付诸的时间、精力和相关的费用是巨大的），后文F项（那肯定是值得的，因为你想第一次把它弄好）是上文的结果。故选F。 点睛：关键词法解决阅读填空题是一种有效的方法。做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。 37题A选项中的them 指代上文中的 different techniques 和下文中的they 指代内容相同。 38题上一段末尾提到要介绍三种颜色选择，本段详细介绍第一种small color choice.选项和语段中都有关键词small color choice。 39题本段主要内容是medium color choice, 前半句承接上文中medium是small的升级，后半句引出下文的两种方式。关键词：two major ways和...and …。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last Saturday morning, I entered my backyard garden with great ____41____. I have a deep passion for cultivating flowers there. When I cast my ____42____ upon my dahlia seedlings, I was shocked to find ____43____ in their leaves. It was clear that some pests were causing trouble. At first, I decided to try a method I had read about. I ____44____ reading in a gardening book and hearing from neighbors about a useful approach of spreading crushed eggshells around the plants. They claimed that the ____45____ edges of the crushed eggshells would stop the slimy invaders (入侵者). I gathered a collection of dried eggshells, crushed them, and made a white circle around the seedlings, like a small fence. ____46____, the next morning, to my disappointment, I saw a fat slug right inside the circle, still feasting on the leaves. I looked closely and realized that the slug’s slimy body enabled itself to move ____47____ over the eggshells. This attempt didn’t work. Then, I decided to experiment with coffee grounds. I collected some coffee from home and spread them near another seedling. But after a few days, that seedling started to wilt (枯萎).When I asked my mom, she ____48____ me that coffee contains caffeine, which can have a ____49____ impact on small plants. Later, I attempted to make garlic spray. After mashing garlic in the kitchen, my hands had a strong and ____50____ smell. When I went to borrow garden shears (大剪刀) from my neighbor, they looked at me in a rather ____51____ way. I felt embarrassed and knew this wasn’t a practical ____52____. Finally, I had an idea. Instead of ____53____ against the slugs in a conventional way, I should find their natural enemies. I dug a shallow pit in the corner of the garden to hold water, which I hoped would ____54____ small frogs. I also hung a simple birdhouse on a tree. Every morning, I could hear birds chirping as they searched for food. Slowly, the slugs disappeared. This experience taught me a valuable lesson. Gardening isn’t about fighting nature but living in harmony with it. It made me ____55____ the delicate balance within small ecosystems and improve my understanding of how to maintain a healthy garden. 41. A. eagerness B. pressure C. anxiety D. panic 42.

You don’t have to run fast or for long____57____(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of____58____(die) early by running. While running regularly can’t make you live forever, the review says it is more effective at lengthening life____59____walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study____60____(publish) in 2014____61____showed a mere 5 to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all____62____(cause). The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise … it’s probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to____63____(strength) your leg muscles, avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it’s always____64____(energy). If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give______65______a try. 【答案】56. longer 57. to see 58. dying 59. than 60. published 61. that 或 which 62. causes 63. strengthen 64. energetic 65. it 或 running 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了跑步的好处——延年益寿。 【56题详解】 考查副词比较级。句意：医学报告显示：经常跑步的人比不跑步的人多活3年。根据空格后的than可知用比较级，故填longer。 【57题详解】 考查不定式。句意：你不必跑得太快或时间太长就能看到它的好处。分析句意可知，“_2____ (see) the benefit”作目的状语，所以应用不定式，故填to see。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重，但仍然可以通过跑步减少早亡的风险。根据空格后的副词early可知，此处表动作，所以用动名词形式作介词of的宾语。故填dying。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：虽然定期跑步不能让你长生不死，但这篇综述称，在延长寿命方面，跑步比走路、骑自行车或游泳更有效。根据其前的more effective可知，此处表示比较，根据其后的动名词“walking, cycling or swimming”可知，此处填介词，综上，故填than。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该综述的两位作者还在2014年发表了一项研究，表明每天跑步5到10分钟可以降低心脏病和其他原因导致的早死风险。分析句子成分可知，“___5____ (publish) in 2014”作后置定语，修饰名词a study，所给词“publish(发表)”与“study(研究)”之间为被动关系，所以应用过去分词，故填published。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句的引导词。句意见上。分析句子结构可知，“__6____ showed a mere 5 to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all ____7____ (cause)”作定语从句，修饰先行词a study，该先行词指物，在定语从句中作主语，故填that 或 which。 【62题详解】 考查名词的数。句意见上。根据其前的修饰语all，并结合句意可知，此处应用可数名词复数形式，故填causes。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了避免膝盖疼痛，你可以在柔软的地面上跑步，做运动来加强你的腿部肌肉，避开山坡和买一双好的跑鞋。分析句子成分可知，“to ____8____ (strength) your leg muscles”作目的状语，此处to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填strengthen。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：跑步既便宜又容易，而且总是充满活力。根据空格前的it's可知，所设空处作表语，应用形容词。故填energetic。 【65题详解】 考查代词/名词。句意：或许我们都应该试试跑步。此处用固定短语give it a try表示“试一试”，或填名词running，指跑步这一运动。故填it 或 running。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你的加拿大笔友Jane在参与一个在线国际学生交流项目时遇到了困难，请你用英语给她写一封邮件，提出你的建议，内容包括： 1.给予安慰： 2.针对时差问题（time zone differences）和虚拟沟通局限性提出建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯， Dear Jane, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Jane, Sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing.

I didn’t even hope to rank in the top half of the over-50 age group. What scared me most wasn’t losing, but others’ whispers and laughter. Most of all, I couldn’t bear the thought of my son Zane seeing his dad as an “ultimate loser.” I’ve never been a sports fan, and I even find “aerobic (有氧的) exercise” unbearable. But that summer, my wife urged me to work out, and Zane came up with a surprisingly bold idea: “Let’s do the triathlon together! I’ll cheer so loud you’ll hear me anywhere!” I couldn’t say no to him, so a few weeks later, I signed up unwillingly. At the base camp, panic washed over me as I looked around. Everyone was fully prepared: some had sharp muscle lines, and others wore professional triathlon suits. But me? I’d grabbed a pair of sneakers randomly from the drawer, my goggles (泳镜) were second-hand, and my bike was so old that everything creaked except the bell. “Dad, your bike’s cool — it’s like a hero’s ride!” Zane whispered. A terrible thought still hit me: I might really end up last. The race started with a 1.5 km swim in the icy lake. When the cold water reached my chest, I panicked — I’d totally forgotten cold water makes you breathe fast. My goggles fogged up, but I struggled to swim, choking on water several times. By the time I got to the shore, most players had already ridden off on their bikes. Cycling, I held the handles tight to pedal hard, but my bike brakes (刹车装置) were rubbing all the way. As one rider after another roared past me, a 70-year-old man even shouted, “Come on! You can do it!” His encouragement felt more like embarrassment — even an old man was faster than me. “Dad, don’t look at them! Look at me!” Zane rode alongside the track, waving. “You’re doing better than yesterday’s practice!” The final part was running, my least favorite. My sneakers were already out of shape and my legs felt as heavy as stones, so I could only drag them forward, maybe slower than walking. But I bit my lip to keep running. “Dad, one step at a time!” Zane called. What’s worse, an official ambulance followed — ready if I fell in a faint (晕倒). Yet I kept going, for Zane, and for the promise I’d made to myself. 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。 Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Zane interrupted my excuses: “Dad, you finished the whole race!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. I stood there, rooted to the spot, a wave of disappointment crashing over me. I felt like a complete failure, not just in the race but as a father who was supposed to be a role model. I approached Zane, stole a glance at him and whispered in a low voice: “I really thought I could do better. However, there was something wrong with my bike and goggles and even the sports shoes were of poor quality.” But Zane interrupted my excuses: “Dad, you finished the whole race!” His eyes sparkled with genuine pride. “You faced each challenge with courage and determination, and that’s what makes you a true winner in my eyes.” His words hit me like a thunderbolt. I had shown Zane the value of perseverance, and that was far more important. A broad smile spread across my face, and I pulled Zane into a tight hug, filled with a new-found sense of pride and the resolve to take on more challenges in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者参加铁人三项为线索展开，讲述了原本害怕垫底、担心在儿子Zane面前丢脸，在儿子的鼓励下，克服自身运动能力不足、装备简陋等困难，坚持完成比赛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最终，我冲过了终点线，在121名参赛者中排第121名。”可知，第一段可描写作者冲过终点后僵在原地的失落，觉得自己是彻底的失败者，既输了比赛，也没做好父亲的榜样，并向Zane小声找装备问题当借口的细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“但Zane打断了我的借口：‘爸爸，你完成了整场比赛啊！’”可知，第二段可描写Zane眼中闪烁的骄傲，他夸赞作者的勇气与坚持是真正的胜利，以及作者被点醒后舒展笑容、拥住Zane，收获自豪与未来挑战决心的场景。 2. 续写线索： 冲过终点(垫底)——失落自我否定——找装备借口——Zane打断并赞美坚持——领悟意义相拥成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲过终点：cross the finish line/ cross the finishing tape ②打断：interrupt/ cut in ③僵在原地：root to the spot/ stand frozen ④拥住：pull sb. into a tight hug/ embrace sb. closely 情绪类 ①失落：disappointment/ dejection ②骄傲：sparkle with pride/ brim with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】I stood there, rooted to the spot, a wave of disappointment crashing over me. (运用了过去分词rooted作状语和独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】You faced each challenge with courage and determination, and that’s what makes you a true winner in my eyes.
