B With a background in the arts, Danielle Ross knew she wanted a creative, hands-on job, but she never thought she’ d be using toys on a daily basis for work. When Ross started her new role two years ago, she made history as the first female master builder for the LEGOLAND New York Theme Park. She spends her days creating and maintaining the park's 15,000 Lego(乐高) models with a focus on adding“all kinds of diversity that's represented in the real world,” she said, especially at Miniland, the small model country of 10 destinations in the US. Every day, Ross and the rest of the model shop do their rounds around the park to make sure everything looks perfect and repair anything that goes wrong. She works on a team of eight and is one of the four master builders. The rest of the team comprises two animators, a manager and a designer. When it's a big model, it takes the entire team's cooperation.“We each build a part of it. It is like putting together a puzzle,” she said. Sometimes the team has to figure out how to build new models when there aren't the most obvious Lego piece choices, and they need to be creative and assess what the needs are.“You have to figure out how to build something using other pieces,” she said.“It is like an equation(等式)——— think of how six can be made with three and three or four and two. It always turns out perfect in the end.” “Being out in the park is great,” Ross said.“I want to inspire all kids to follow what they want to do and see they can have a fun, exciting job.” She also makes sure she creates models of all types of people so everyone feels represented at the park. 24. What is Ross's job in the park? A. Organizing field trips. B. Designing and promoting new toys. C. Introducing famous destinations. D. Building and maintaining Lego models. 25. What do we know about Ross's team? A. It is a large team. B. It usually works on big models. C. Cooperation is sometimes required. D. The members love solving puzzles together. 26. What does Ross want to explain by mentioning the equation? A. The process of assessing the needs. B. The various ways of building Lego models. C. The importance of learning maths well. D. The obvious choices of building models. 27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Ross's career advice. B. Lego model types in the future. C. The meaning of Ross's job. D. Lego's inspiration for kids' future career C As I write, I have 101 unread WhatsApp messages, 254 unread iPhone messages and46,252 unread emails across three separate accounts. For me, Inbox Zero is a faraway goal. But it is the WhatsApp messages, specifically the WhatsApp group chats, that terrorize me the most. If I were a woman of courage, I would simply exit these chats,but I feel the weight of social obligation, and so I remain. I am not the only person to feel this way. Last month, WhatsApp bowed to public pressure and announced that users would be able to exit groups invisibly, without informing other members of their decision. “I am probably on the wrong side of history on this,” says Danny Groner, 39, a marketing director from New York.“Just to be clear. It's not about my cousins.”Groner is referring to a 25-strong WhatsApp group composed of his first and second cousins. It is a space to keep up with family news. “Everyone is well-meaning,” says Groner.“But I wasn't getting any value out of it.” Groner has left the group three times. Each time, a cousin has added him back in,usually to wish him a happy birthday or happy anniversary, and Groner has gone straight back out again. Although Groner is often told that he is rude, he is also an unlikely hero for the WhatsApp group resistance.“I have so many people telling me that the chats reduce them to an army of modern-day Mrs Bennets and that they wish they could get out of groups, but they' re afraid they' ll offend(冒犯) people if they leave.” It is worth remembering that WhatsApp, if used within due limits, can play a-positive role in connecting people, says Gazit, a lecturer in information science at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.“I am a member of a WhatsApp group of moms,” Gazit says.“We discuss the issue of new motherhood, they provide me with support when I need it,and we exchange information. It's great,” Irene, a 41-year-old marketing strategist from London, says.“If something needs to be coordinated(协调), I'd set up a WhatsApp group for that specific reason. But I'd delete it afterward.” 28. How does the author feel when exiting a WhatsApp group? A. Relieved. B. Stressed. C. Determined. D. Disappointed. 29. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Resisting the WhatsApp group. B. Cutting off connections with relatives. C. Being unresponsive to group messages. D. Removing a member from the family chat group. 30. Why does Groner leave his family chat group? A. It is valueless to stay. B. Some members are rude. C. He has nothing to say there. D. There are too many messages to handle. 31. What can we learn about WhatsApp from the stories of Gazit and Irene? A. Getting out of it is unwise. B. It does more bad than good. C. Its new feature is necessary. D. Using it wisely is the key. D Most people hate mosquitoes—— but scientists are about to build a“mosquito factory”to release modified(改良的) mosquitoes. The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it's rarely discovered in mosquitoes“We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’ Neil, an Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population. Several studies have demonstrated the insects’ success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021. The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil's urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, a disease mainly spread by mosquitoes. Dengue patients may have mild symptoms like fever, but severe cases can lead to death. Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website.“More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It's going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist at the Oswaldo CruzFoundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News. Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM,转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida. According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gene that prevents female offspring from surviving to adulthood, and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, GM mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease. 32. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’ Neil? A. To spread a type of bacteria. B. To make money for the scientists involved. C. To reduce the number of insects in the world. D. To prevent mosquitoes from biting people. 33. What can we infer from the experiment in Indonesia mentioned in the text? A. Dengue is not a serious disease in Indonesia. B. Modified mosquitoes have no effect on dengue. C. Mosquitoes in Indonesia are not carriers of dengue. D. Modified mosquitoes can significantly decrease dengue cases. 34. What does the underlined word“cleared” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Removed. B. Measured. C. Approved. D. Blocked. 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of GM Mosquitoes B. Modified Mosquitoes to Fight Diseases C. Genetic Engineering in Medical Research D. The World GM Mosquito Program's Success 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。 Born in London on 28 November 1772, Luke Howard was interested in the weather from an early age. 36 He was instead easily distracted(分心) by the clouds he could see through the window. He started his career as a pharmacist, producing and sending out medicines for people. 37 He soon became an amateur meteorologist(业余气象学者). In 1802, Howard presented his research in a lecture to the Askesian Society, a club for people who were interested in science. At this point, meteorology hadn't progressed as much as other sciences, because it was difficult to take observations when the weather was always changing. To take his observations, Howard did sketches(草图) of the clouds as they moved and changed in the sky. 38 Howard suggested that although the shapes of clouds were changing, there were three basic types of clouds in the sky, to which he gave Latin names. 39 The second was“cumulus”, meaning heap(一堆) or pile. And the third was“stratus”, meaning layer or sheet. He also introduced four other cloud types to recognize the changing clouds when they are joining together or breaking apart. In 1803, he published his research in a paper called“On the Modifications of Clouds” After the publication of Howard's research, the field of meteorology continued to develop. Scientists now have a much greater understanding of weather patterns(模式) all around the world. 40 Professor Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, said,“His scientific work helped us understand our climate.” A. There are now 10 types of clouds. B. But his true passion was meteorology. C. But it was Howard's work that started it all. D. He couldn't stay focused when he was at school. E. This helped him to recognize the forms we know today. F. Howard's findings also inspired the artist John Constable. G. The first was called“cirrus”, which means tendril or hair in Latin. 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ever since childhood, I'd been passionate about performing solo(独唱).

The automaker advertised its system, named“Super e-Platform”, as one that can charge its latest models in just five minutes, 56 (allow) them to travel up to 400 kilometers. Assigned a 10C rating, 57 e-platform can reach full charge in just six minutes.The C-rate is an industry measurement standard 58 a 1C rating means the battery can be fully charged in one hour. Therefore, a 10C rating indicates the battery can achieve full charge in one-tenth of an hour, which 59 (equal) six minutes. “We’ ve always been in 60 (pursue) of speedy charging,” BYD founder Wang Chuanfu said.“The new battery’ s peak charging power can reach 1,000 kilowatts. This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt(兆瓦) 61 (achieve) on charging power.” The e-platform works by delivering a large current(电流) to the charging car, 62 high currents tend to generate heat that damages EV batteries. To get around this, BYD says it 63 (massive) reduced the internal resistance inside the battery. This technology is currently only available in China, and the company has yet 64 (confirm) whether it will make this technology available internationally. If 65 (popularize), BYD’ s new charging platform represents a major innovation that could help transform the electric car market. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是高二学生李华，你校计划于3月3日(元宵节)下午在学校食堂举办庆元宵主题文化活动。请你用英语写一封邀请信，邀请你校外籍教师 Mr. Brown参加此次活动。内容包括： 1.活动时间、地点及节日意义； 2.主要活动安排。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Brown, 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Snowflake Bentley In the days when Vermont farmers worked the land and spent time with livestock,there lived a boy Willie Bentley who loved snow more than anything in the world.Vermont is no stranger to snow and Bentley's happiest days were snowstorm days. He watched snowflakes(雪花) on his glove, on the vast farm fields, and on the dark metal handle of the barn(谷仓) door. He said snow was the blessings of Nature. However, he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them. Later, when his mother gave him an old microscope, he mainly used it to look at snow. While kids of his neighbors chased hens and had snowball fights, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals(冰晶). Their delicate patterns were even more beautiful than he had imagined. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful designs. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted in the black tray(托盘) that he used to catch them before he could finish the drawings. When he was sixteen, Willie read of a camera with its own microscope.“If I had that camera I could photograph snowflakes,” he told his mother. Willie's mother knew that he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen. “Spending time on snow is just foolishness,” his mother said. Still, she loved his son. When Willie was seventeen his parents spent their savings and bought the camera.It cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure. it was the best of all cameras. 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。 Nevertheless, in those days no one cared. Despite the new-found fame, Snowflake Bentley simply made up his mind to produce a perfect photo. 英语参考答案 题 序 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 答 案 C B B A B C C A A C C A C B A 题 序 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答 案 C A B A B A C B D C B C B A A 题 序 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 答 案 D A D C B D B E' G C A D B B A 题 序 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 答 案 C A D D D B C D A B 【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了多伦多的共享单车项目，具体说明了这一项目的收费等信息。 21. A。细节理解题。根据 For locals部分中的“The Annual Membership is the best deal for locals of Toronto and other frequent riders.(年度会员是多伦多当地人和其他经常骑行的人的最佳选择。)”可知，多伦多当地人最合适的选择是年度会员。故选 A。 22. C。细节理解题。根据 For locals部分中的“If you keep a bike out for longer than 30 minutes at a time, you will becharged an extra $1.50 for the first 30 minutes over,$4 for the next 30 minutes, and $7 for each additional 30minutes after that.(如果你持有自行车的时间超过30分钟,首30分钟将额外收取1.5美元,接下来的30分钟将收取4美元，之后每增加30分钟将收取7美元。)”可知，如果骑自行车旅行两个小时，额外的费用是1.5+4+7=12.5(美元)。故选 C。 23. B。细节理解题。根据 Contact us部分中的“Employment Opportunities:(855)898-2498[就业机会请拨打:(855)898——2498]”可知,想了解在多伦多自行车共享中心工作的更多信息,需联系(855)898—2498。故选 B。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了 Danielle Ross在纽约乐高主题公园里建造和维护乐高模型的工作。 24. D。事实细节题。根据第二段第二句“She spends her days creating and maintaining the park's 15,000 Lego(乐高)models…”可知, Ross的工作内容是建造和维护园内的15000个乐高模型。 25. C。事实细节题。根据第三段对 Ross团队工作的叙述可知，该团队的日常工作是去公园巡视。当遇到要搭建大模型时.整个团队会一同协作，就像做拼图一样，故C项正确。 26. B。推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“It is like an equation(等式)-think of how six can be made with threeand three or four and two.”可知、 Ross把拼装模型的工作比喻为做加法:3+3或4+2的结果都是6。即拼乐高有不同的方法，故B项正确。 27. C。主旨大意题。根据最后一段第二句“I want to inspire all kids to follow what they want to do and see they can have a fun, exciting job.”和第一句“She… creates models of all types of people so everyone feels represented at the park.”可知,本段主要讲述 Ross工作的意义,故C项正确。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。作者的手机上有多个聊天群.虽然海量的信息令作者不胜其扰，但是因为人际关系等原因而不好意思退出。作者在文中介绍了应用程序 WhatsApp及其聊天群的利弊，倡导人们合理适度地使用社交软件。 28. B。推理判断题。根据第. 段前两句“But it is the WhatsApp messages, specifically the WhatsApp group chats,that terrorize me the most. If I were a woman of courage. I would simply exit these chats, but I feel the weight of social obligation, and so I remain.”可知,作者不好意思退出群聊。据此可判断,作者退群时是有压力的。 29. A。推理判断题。文章前两段提到，很多人包括作者自己在想退群时，他们的做法通常都是因为不好意思退出而选择继续留在群里,这种做法对应的是画线部分 on the wrong side of history意为“站在历史的对立面”,即想退群就退。第四段提到 Groner 三次退群以及第五段中的“… he is also an unlikely hero for the WhatsApp group resistance.”提到 Groner 是 WhatsApp群聊的抵制者也说明了 Groner 的态度,故选A项。 30. A。事实细节题。根据第四段中的“But I wasn't getting any value out of it.”可知答案。 31. D。事实细节题。根据最后一段中 Gazit 所说的“… WhatsApp, if used within due limits, can play a positive role…”以及 Irène所说的有需要时建群聊，而用完之后就删除可知，本段主要告诉我们要合理使用 WhatsApp。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家培育改良蚊子对抗疾病的相关举措及成效。 32. A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium.’ Scott O’Neil, an Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population.(‘我们实际上是在培育携带这种细菌的蚊子，’参与该项目的澳大利亚科学家斯科特·奥尼尔告诉加拿大广播公司新闻。当改良后的蚊子被释放后，它们会慢慢将这种细菌传播给人群。)”可知，斯科特·奥尼尔培育改良蚊子是为了传播一种细菌。 33. D。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.(例如，根据2021年发表的一项研究论文，在印度尼西亚进行的一项对照实验表明，这种改良昆虫使登革热病例减少了77%。)”可推知，改良蚊子可以显著减少登革热病例。 34. C。词义猜测题。根据第六段“Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified(GM,转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida.(另一种防止蚊子传播疾病的方法是生产转基因蚊子。2022年，美国环境保护局批准在加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州释放24亿只转基因蚊子。)”可知，防止蚊子传播疾病的一种方法是生产转基因蚊子，所以此处指美国环境保护局批准释放转基因蚊子，故推测 cleared意为“批准”,与“Approved”意思相近。 35. B。主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most people hate mosquitoes—— but scientists are about to build a‘mosquito factory’to release modified(改良的) mosquitoes.(大多数人讨厌蚊子,但科学家们即将建造一个‘蚊子工厂’来释放改良蚊子。)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们通过培育改良蚊子来对抗疾病。因此，B选项“改良蚊子对抗疾病”最符合文章主旨。 36. D。空前提及 Luke Howard从小就对天气感兴趣，空后说“他反而很容易被窗外可见的云朵分心”。D项“他在学校里无法集中注意力”正好与“distracted(分心) by the clouds”形成因果关系,且与“interested in the weather froman early age”形成对照,说明他对云的兴趣影响了课堂注意力。 37. B。前句说他以药剂师为职业，空后句提到“他很快成为一名业余气象学者”。B项“但他真正的热情在于气象学”承上启下，解释了为什么他虽然是药剂师却迅速转向气象学的原因。 38. E。上文描述霍华德通过画云的草图来观察云的变化。这一行为(This)帮助他识别出了我们今天所知的云的形态。E项中的“This”指代前文的素描方法，并自然过渡到下文他对云的分类。 39. G。上文紧接着介绍了第二种(cumulus)和第三种(stratus)云。因此,空白处必然是介绍第一种云。G项以“The first was...”开头，完美衔接，且内容符合上下文对拉丁名称的解释。 40.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 【参考范文】 Nevertheless, in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow.“Snow inVermont is as common as dirt,” they said. But Willie was not disheartened. He firmly believed the photographs would be his gift to the world. He gave copies away to neighbors or sold them for some money to help out his parents.He even wrote about snow and published his pictures in magazines. Soon, Bentley was beginning to make a name for himself. Flocks of journalists reached out to him for interviews and eventually the nickname“Snowflake Bentley” was born. Despite the new-found fame, Snowflake Bentley simply made up his mind to produce a perfect photo. Whenever it snowed, he would wait hours for just the right crystal. While neighbors sat by the fireplace, Willie stood at the barn door and held out the black tray to catch flakes. Through trial and error, he learned to produce photos of better quality. One day, Bentley worked his magic and eventually developed a perfectly clear photograph. The young man was overjoyed and immediately presented it to his folks.“I was wrong about your work, son. This is marvelous!” said his mother. A smile of pride flickered across Snowflake Bentley's face, for he knew he had forever captured the beauty of nature. 听力材料 Text 1 M: So do all employees get a discount on store purchases?

I didn't have time to get it ready, so you have a few extra days to study. Now,let's get to today's topic. Some of you may not like science, but you should at least respect it because it adds so much to our lives. Recently, I read about a newly created plastic that changes color when it's stretched. How did the scientists dream up this idea? They could never have done it without observing nature. While studying certain insects, the scientists found that the insects’ shells changed color when looked at from different angles. They immediately thought of ways to use that science to benefit humans. The scientists plan to use this plastic on food packages to tell us when our food goes bad and on our money to make it more difficult for criminals to copy. So when you' re walking to class each day, try to take some time to observe nature around you. You never know when you' ll have a bright idea that can change how we live. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
