We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. We're all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (门厅) on the second Friday of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn't much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss. Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about "Building Community". I asked, "How do you do that? " He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made much sense to me. I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby wall with signs saying "Where We're From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born. " People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has. I see there will be challenges, but I also know a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work. 24.What trouble did the author have building a community? A. The community was rather poor. B. She was lacking in enough money. C. Her neighbors were all immigrants. D. Renters had no sense of belonging. 25.How did the author find her earlier events? A. Fruitful. B. Messy. C. Uninteresting. D. Inspiring. 26.What did the author do in order to change the socials? A. Sharing friendly stickers. B. Adding foods and drinks. C. Asking neighbors for help. D. Adopting a sharing game. 27.Which of the following best describes the author? A. Responsible and particular. B. Insightful and determined. C. Demanding and sympathetic. D. Knowledgeable and modest. C From Scotland to Cornwall, an organic, regenerative collective of the UK farmers is looking to pair up with sustainable businesses that need access to land and tools. Pitch Up! was founded in 2021 by Tim May, of Kingsclere Estates (庄园) farm in Hampshire. It offers land, resources and expertise to businesses with big ideas for sustainable projects. The idea is to copy nature's "closed loop" system, with waste being reused to create a booming circular (循环的) farming community. "Our goal is to have a diverse mix of enterprises (企业) all operating off the land — using each other's byproducts or waste, and sharing knowledge, equipment and experience," says May. "Nature thrives (兴盛) on diversity; it also fuels economic resilience (韧性), helps create a closed-loop system, and builds stronger rural communities. As farmers, we have an abundance of land and natural resources, and we want to share those resources and bring more people on to the land." Pitch Up! has already helped to launch a handful of businesses. Balcaskie Estate covers 2,000 hectares of land in Fife, Scotland, and has hosted markets, a butchery, and pop ups by Scotland The Bread, an organization that works to get more people eating better bread. Rosie Jack, Balcaskie's business development manager, says, "We know that there's a real demand for rural land so our message is, 'We have land, come and use it!' We really do welcome approaches from businesses of all shapes and sizes." This year, the Pitch Up! farming collective is keen to hear from more cooperative enterprisers. "We are looking for sustainable businesses at all stages of the business life cycle, but particularly those that have an idea of how they can fit into the circular systems in place at a Pitch Up! farm," says May, "It might be a cheese maker for example, who can add value by using the organic milk from the mobile dairy business here." 28.What does Pitch Up! offer to sustainable businesses? A. Organic food. B. Farming resources.　　　 C. Money and staff. D. Tools and workers. 29.What's May's vision for Pitch Up!? A. A single big company. B. More land for farming. C. Only eco-friendly farms. D. Various businesses cooperating. 30.Why was Balcaskie Estate mentioned in the text? A. For selling land. B. Due to program failure. C. For bread promotion. D. As a successful case ofPitch Up!. 31.What does May want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Expectation of cooperation. B. Value ofPitch Up!. C. Demand for a cheese maker. D. Importance of circular systems. D The field of anti-ageing medicine has exploded in recent years due to discoveries about the fundamental biology of ageing, which are translated into experimental therapies (疗法). The latest fountain of youth comes in the form of vaccines (疫苗) against age-related conditions — cancer, heart disease, dementia and more. The first of these could be available by the end of the decade. All-purpose anti-ageing injections are also in development. The upsides of such vaccines are clear. Anything, limiting the impact of age-related conditions on people who live into old age and the loved ones who often end up caring for them, has to be welcomed. They also promise to lessen effect on the increasingly societal and economic costs of these diseases. But as with all anti-ageing interventions, there are potential downsides too. If millions of people live significantly longer, we risk a population explosion on a planet with overstretched resources. If the vaccines merely delay the beginning of age-related conditions, they will only postpone the burden on people and society. And as Nobel prizewinner Venki Ramakrishnan told us earlier, a long-lived society is likely to become less dynamic. These are familiar fears. The common response is to focus on increasing health span, which means people living for longer, free from the diseases of old age, then suddenly declining and dying. We won't know the outcome until the therapies have been widely used, at which point it might be too late to put the genie back in the bottle. But there is really no turning back anyway. If vaccines and other anti-ageing therapies work and are affordable, they will be used. Besides, nobody would argue that innovations like antibiotics, vaccines and advanced diagnostics were a bad idea even if they marked the beginning of our era of age-related diseases. Similarly, we shouldn't fear life-saving medical advances on the basis of unintended consequences. If we can make lives longer and less painful, the downsides are a price worth paying. 32.Why is the field of anti-ageing medicine growing rapidly? A. The biology of ageing is better applied. B. The trend of healthy lifestyle is growing. C. The demand for longer life is increasing. D. The number of elderly is rising globally. 33.How do anti-ageing vaccines benefit society? A. By increasing the workforce. B. By reducing healthcare expense. C. By curing people of diseases. D. By boosting economic growth. 34.What does the underlined phrase "put the genie back in the bottle" mean? A. To stop the process of ageing totally. B. To create a new medical breakthrough. C. To remove the impact of the therapies. D. To delay the development of technology. 35.What is the best title for this article? A. Can Anti-Ageing Medicine Really Work? B. What Is the Risk of Anti-Ageing Medicine? C. Is It Worthwhile Using Anti-Ageing Medicine? D. How to Stay Young with Anti-Ageing Medicine? 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。 I hated writing as I grew up. But I couldn't avoid it: learning English was a must in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences. I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was frustrated to no end. 　(36)　 　And that was OK. I didn't have to be good at everything. 　(37)　 　I liked it when objective truth could be found if I searched properly. In college, I joined a scientific research lab. However, the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our findings. I knew that if I wanted to become an academic, I would need to spend time penning papers. But with my awful track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. 　(38)　 Before I could give up in defeat, though, the graduate student explained those red marks didn't mean I was a bad writer. 　(39)　 　It requires revising your work, often several times. I kept improving the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs. My initial draft wasn't perfect. I had buried a few key takeaways, and the introduction was missing important context. But with help, I finally made it. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research. 　(40)　 　But I came around. All it took was some trial and error. A．I should view it in a positive way. B．"Never again," I screamed inside. C．Writing isn't a one-and-done thing. D．I soon realized writing was my strength. E．Maybe I just wasn't meant to be a writer. F．I switched to the world of math and science. G．I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams. 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。 JongMay Urbonya is an American lady full of (41) : she is fluent in Mandarin, fond of hanfu and Chinese dance.

But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste. One weekend, Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, "You two looked so down. What happened?" Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice, "It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible." Understanding the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, "Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem." "Just two of us..." complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other. Suddenly an idea flashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement. "Yes, that's the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!" the pair said in chorus. 注意： (1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.    Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. 襄阳四中2024级高二下学期三月月考 英语答案 听力理解：1-5 ACBBC 6-10 CBBAC 11-15 ACCAB 16-20 ABBCA 阅读理解：21-23 ADB 24-27 DCDB 28-31 BDDA 32-35 ABCC 36-40 EFBCG 完形填空：41-45 CBACD 46-50 ABCBD 51-55 ADBCD 语法填空：56.where 57.as 58.creativity 59.challenged 60.given 61.entries 62.entries 63.enthusiastically 64.the 65.referring 写 作： 第一节： Dear Jim, How is everything going? I’m writing to share a sketching event held by Art Club last Friday, which turned out to be truly memorable and inspiring. ①Assigned to capture the campus beauty, I chose to paint the small garden in front of the teaching building. The golden sunlight reflected off the green leaves, casting warm shadows on the bench. I tried to capture the vibrant/bright colors and the peaceful atmosphere with my brushes. ②It was a refreshing experience that left me in awe of the campus beauty and filled me with inspiration (灵感) to translate onto my canvas (画布). Immersing myself in the campus beauty also cleared my mind and lifted my spirits after a week of study. Sometimes, stepping outside can be the best way to recharge and move forward. Yours, Li Hua 第二节： Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. "Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness. " Maria proposed. "Good idea! We can also make a video! " Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up. Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
