Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline. The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 24. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired. 25. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________. A. elderly people have a failing memory B. modern machines are poorly designed C. technology changes seniors’ living habits D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life 26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 27. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. D The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when human-built structures get in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human-built structures. On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000 times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely. For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future. As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene. C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief. 33. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have? A. It provided a new habitat for ocean life. B. It blocked the path of the green sawfish. C. It attracted more new species to the area. D. It drove the green sawfish into deep waters. 34. What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings? A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually. C. They have destroyed land animals’ habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. When Ocean Life Is in Danger C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done 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。 My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____36____ This early experience taught me that passion isn’t about having the best equipment, but about the feeling it gives you. Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together. ____37____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports. ____38____ At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university. Yet, we found them closed, which only pushed me to explore other places — empty parking lots, quiet office parks, and smooth pathways. The joy I got from these experiences never left me. As I grew older, my relationship with skateboarding matured. I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____39____ From there, I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines. Now, with a family of my own, that passion rides on. I introduced all my children to skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk. The full-circle moment of seeing my sons surpass my own ability is a pride unlike any other. I know some journeys, when you stick with them, don’t end. ____40____ A. I realized I needed much better equipment. B. They just find new, beautiful paths forward. C. It inspired me to write a book, The Concrete Wave. D. That was when I decided to quit and try other sports. E. Yet, none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride. F. We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways. G. In 1983, my skateboard accompanied me to university in Toronto. 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。 I usually eat an apple on the drive home from work.

I remembered the apple core and felt a moment of ____43____ that some creature had found the treat I’d ____44____ left. I found myself grinning, and the happy moment stuck in my mind. That evening, I did the same thing at the same spot. To my delight, more ____45____ of different animals were found. I began to Google them and take ____46____ for the following months in identifying my visitors. I felt ____47____ to a different world that existed all around me. I didn’t share my new ____48____ with anyone and I knew the complaints from my neighbors about my seemingly innocent gifts.

I didn’t say a word but ____52____ leaving my cores and my secret co-existence with wildlife came to an end.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $宁波市高三英语模拟考试听力部分听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Why did you set the alarm so early?

Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline. The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 24. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired. 25. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________. A. elderly people have a failing memory B. modern machines are poorly designed C. technology changes seniors’ living habits D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life 26. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 27. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对生活中各种提醒噪音的困扰，并最终决定采取措施解决冰箱噪音问题的故事。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.(10秒后，一系列刺耳的嘟嘟声响起，提醒健忘的人关门。我怀疑这个无法neutralized的警报是为了阻止我深夜在冰箱里搜查——我妻子早就警告过我，午夜吃零食对我的腰围有害)”可知，提醒噪音在日常生活中无处不在，所以无法消除，可推测出neutralized意思是“使失效，关闭”，与C选项“Disabled（使失效）”意思相近。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.(不仅仅是冰箱和汽车。一旦我开始注意，我意识到我们的环境充满了提醒噪音。炉灶也会唱歌——留一个燃烧器开着，它就会演奏自己的小音乐会。至于我的手机，即使关掉了我能找到的每一个通知，日历提醒还是会传过来)”可推知，提到炉灶和手机是为了说明日常生活中哔哔的警报声是不可避免的。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.(如果我把冰箱门半开着，毁掉了一份昂贵的烤肉怎么办？如果我错过了提醒我可能会忘记的约会的通知怎么办？没有提醒的生活后果可能太严重，不能冒险)”可推知，作者担心没有提醒会带来不良后果。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it.(我会把噪音制造者拿走，在门上贴一张便利贴，提醒我关上它)”可知，作者最终决定用便条代替警报。故选D。 C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明，通过戏剧方式教授莎士比亚作品能提升孩子的读写能力和情感理解力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.(这位来自埃文河畔斯特拉特福德的文法学校男生再次成为头条新闻，此前一项突破性的研究表明，莎士比亚确实有益于儿童的读写能力和情感发展，但前提是他们能把他演出来)”以及第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”可知，这项研究鼓励孩子们表演莎士比亚的作品。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.(这项随机试验涉及45所公立小学的数百名五年级学生（9岁和10岁）。孩子们被分为目标组和对照组。两组都阅读了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的一段，并被要求以罗密欧的身份写一封信，讲述与朱丽叶分离后的感受。在写作之前，目标组参加了一个30分钟的以戏剧为基础的活动，而对照组没有)”可知，本段介绍了研究的参与对象、分组方式与具体实验步骤，即介绍了研究的过程。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly.(O’Hanlon说，最让她惊讶的是孩子们写作中表现出的情感理解力，他们表现出更深的同理心，更生动地表达情感)”可知，O’Hanlon对目标组写作印象最深刻的是情感深度。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding.(研究发现，以戏剧为基础的莎士比亚教学方法拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提高了他们的写作质量，增强了他们的情感理解力)”以及倒数第二段中““It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.(她补充道：“这可能与基于戏剧的过程有关，在这个过程中，你习惯于像角色一样思考和感受。”)”可推知，通过戏剧表演实践学习莎士比亚效果显著，体现“在实践中学习效果最佳”。故选B。 D The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when human-built structures get in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human-built structures. On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000 times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely. For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future. As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene. C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief. 33. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have? A. It provided a new habitat for ocean life. B. It blocked the path of the green sawfish. C. It attracted more new species to the area. D. It drove the green sawfish into deep waters. 34. What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings? A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually. C. They have destroyed land animals’ habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. When Ocean Life Is in Danger C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋动物因人类建造的结构面临生存障碍，呼吁建立海洋动物通道以保护其生存。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken.(海洋似乎无边无际。人们很容易想象鱼类和其他海洋生物可以不受限制地自由游动。然而，这种假设是错误的)”可知，作者通过挑战一个普遍的观念来引出问题。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier.(正如Lear所担心的那样，这项工程确实对极度濒危的绿锯鳐造成了伤害——它们无法绕过障碍物)”可知，阿什伯顿河附近的结构阻挡了绿锯鳐的路径。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.(尽管这种桥梁在陆地上已经很受欢迎，但Lear表示，专门为帮助海洋动物安全通行而设计的野生动物通道却很少受到关注)”以及第四段中“With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future.(随着阿什伯顿河地区计划建造更多的大型建筑，Lear表示，多重障碍的累积效应确实令人担忧绿锯鳐的未来)”可推知，Lear暗示海洋动物迫切需要野生动物通道。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第三段中“On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common.(在陆地上，野生动物通道越来越普遍)”、最后一段中“To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes.(为了解决这个问题，我们可以在人类建造的结构中建立通道，或者保护它们迁徙路线上的栖息地)”以及结合全文可知，本文主要介绍了海洋动物因人类建造的结构面临生存障碍，呼吁建立海洋动物通道以保护其生存。由此可知，A选项“野生动物通道：从陆地到海洋”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 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。 My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引).

It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____36____ This early experience taught me that passion isn’t about having the best equipment, but about the feeling it gives you. Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together. ____37____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports. ____38____ At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university. Yet, we found them closed, which only pushed me to explore other places — empty parking lots, quiet office parks, and smooth pathways. The joy I got from these experiences never left me. As I grew older, my relationship with skateboarding matured. I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____39____ From there, I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines. Now, with a family of my own, that passion rides on. I introduced all my children to skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk. The full-circle moment of seeing my sons surpass my own ability is a pride unlike any other. I know some journeys, when you stick with them, don’t end. ____40____ A. I realized I needed much better equipment. B. They just find new, beautiful paths forward. C. It inspired me to write a book, The Concrete Wave. D. That was when I decided to quit and try other sports. E. Yet, none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride. F. We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways. G. In 1983, my skateboard accompanied me to university in Toronto. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与滑板运动的不解之缘，从初识滑板到成为生活的一部分，再到传承给下一代的故事。 【36题详解】 上文“It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise.(它有廉价的粘土轮子，摇晃、颠簸，发出很大的噪音)”说明作者的第一块滑板质量很差，使用体验不佳。空处和前文为转折关系，说明尽管设备不好，但滑行的自由感让一切都不重要，所以E选项“然而，当我感受到骑行的自由时，这些都不重要了”。故选E。 【37题详解】 上文“Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together.(很快，我就发现自己把每一期《滑板手》杂志都读了一遍，那是一本当时很受欢迎的杂志，我们社区到处都是一起滑板的孩子们)”说明街区有很多孩子一起滑滑板。空处和前文为顺接关系，具体说明孩子们一起滑滑板的活动，所以F选项“我们建了滑板赛道，花了好几个小时沿着车道滑行”符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 下文“At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university.(有一次，一个在城北约克大学读书的朋友建议我们去试试大学里的隧道)”提到了大学相关内容。空处总起该段，引出大学时期的滑板经历。G选项“1983年，我的滑板陪我来到了多伦多的大学”，符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“I created a website called SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.(我创建了一个名为SkateGeezer的网站，专门为那些在20世纪60年代、70年代和80年代滑过滑板的人服务)”说明作者创建了相关滑板网站。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明网站带来的后续创作，C选项“它激励我写了一本书《混凝土波浪》”符合语境，该项中的it指代前文中的“a website called SkateGeezer”。故选C。 【40题详解】 上文“I know some journeys, when you stick with them, don’t end.(我知道有些旅程，只要你坚持下去，就不会结束)”说明作者认为热爱的旅程不会结束。空处承接前文，进一步解释旅程的延续方式。B选项“他们只是找到了新的、美好的前进道路”符合语境。故选B。 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。 I usually eat an apple on the drive home from work.

Between the two versions, I highly recommend the first one, “There is no Planet B.” I prefer this design for two main reasons. Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top. It vividly highlights the severe environmental crises we are facing, such as global warming and air pollution. More importantly, the slogan itself is brilliant. By cleverly playing on the phrase “Plan B”, it sends a powerful warning to the public: our planet is irreplaceable, and we have no backup home to escape to. Therefore, we must stop the destruction before it’s too late. I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. Best of luck! Yours, Li Hua Possible Version 2 Dear Chris, Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Both versions are fantastic, but I favor the second one, “OUR ACTIONS, OUR FUTURE.” What makes this poster stand out is the perfect combination of its image and slogan. In terms of the image, it presents a hopeful scene where a pair of hands gently holds the Earth. On top of the globe, leafy trees and a bright sun vividly symbolize a green, sustainable future. Moreover, the slogan perfectly matches the drawing. Written entirely in bold capitals, the words create a strong impact, conveying a highly positive message that the destiny of our planet literally lies in our own hands. I’m sure this inspiring design will shine in the contest and motivate more people to take concrete eco-friendly actions. Good luck! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就海报设计大赛的两个版本给出选择并阐述理由，文章推荐了第一个版本并说明了原因。 【详解】1.词汇积累 主要的：main → primary 聪明的：clever → intelligent 警告：warning → alert 有毒的：toxic → poisonous 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. 拓展句：I hold the belief that this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings. On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Nate在图书馆看到“第一届高地绘画比赛”的通知后，原本觉得小镇平淡无奇的他，在同学Briana的启发下，开始重新发现小镇的独特之美，并决定参加比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到启发的Nate建议他们去他爷爷的农场看看”可知，第一段可描写Nate和Briana在爷爷农场里的所见所感，以及Nate决定画农场参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼那天，图书馆里挤满了人”可知，第二段可描写Nate的画获奖，以及他的获奖感言，表达他对小镇美丽的新认识。 2.续写线索：参观农场——发现农场之美——决定画农场参加比赛——颁奖典礼——Nate获奖——发表获奖感言——重新认识小镇之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出发：set off/depart/leave for ②到达：arrived/get to/reach ③走上舞台：step onto the stage/walk onto the stage/go up on the stage 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/anxiously/with tension ②怀疑：disbelief/doubt/skepticism 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time.（运用了现在分词作状语以及as if引导表语从句） 【高分句型2】As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
