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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了乐高乐园纽约主题公园首位女性大师级建造师罗斯的工作日常及意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She spends her days creating and maintaining the park’s 15,000 Lego (乐高) models(她每天都在创作和维护公园的15000个乐高模型)”可知，罗斯的工作是建造和维护乐高模型。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When it’s a big model, it takes the entire team’s cooperation.(当是一个大模型时，需要整个团队的合作。)”可知，罗斯的团队有时需要合作。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“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.(有时，当没有最明显的乐高积木选择时，团队必须想出如何建造新模型，他们需要发挥创造力并评估需求是什么)”以及“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.(这就像一个等式——想想如何用三个和三个或者四个和两个组成六。最终结果总是完美的)”可知，罗斯提到等式是为了解释建造乐高模型的各种方法。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中““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.(“在公园里很棒，”罗斯说。“我想激励所有的孩子追随他们想做的事情，看到他们可以有一份有趣、令人兴奋的工作。”她还确保自己创造出各种类型的人的模型，让每个人在公园里都能感受到自己的代表性。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了罗斯工作的意义。故选C。 C As I write, I have 101 unread WhatsApp messages, 254 unread iPhone messages, and 46,252 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 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.” 8. How does the author feel when exiting a WhatsApp group? A. Relieved. B. Stressed. C. Determined. D. Disappointed. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了很多人深受WhatsApp群聊困扰、想要退群却碍于社交压力，同时也指出合理使用该软件能发挥积极作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“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.(如果我是个有勇气的人，我就直接退出这些群聊，但我感受到了社交责任的压力，所以我选择留下。)” 可知，作者退出群聊时会感到有压力。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段““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.(39岁的纽约营销总监Danny Groner说：“在这件事上，我可能站在了历史的对立面。说清楚点，这和我的表亲们无关。” Danny Groner指的是一个由他的第一代和第二代表亲组成的25人WhatsApp群聊。)” 以及第四段““Everyone is well-meaning,” says Groner. “But I wasn’t getting any value out of it.” Groner has left the group three times.(Groner说：“每个人都是出于好意，但我从中得不到任何价值。” 他已经退群三次了。)”可知，Groner看不到WhatsApp群聊的任何价值，并多次退出，说明划线部分指的是抵制WhatsApp群聊。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段““Everyone is well-meaning,” says Groner. “But I wasn’t getting any value out of it.” Groner has left the group three times.(Groner说：“每个人都是出于好意，但我从中得不到任何价值。” 他已经退群三次了。)”可知，Groner退出家庭群聊是因为待在里面没有价值。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“It is worth remembering that WhatsApp, if used within due limits, can play a positive role in connecting people, says Gazit (Gazit表示，值得记住的是，如果在适当限度内使用，WhatsApp在连接人们方面可以发挥积极作用)”及“Irene, a 41-year-old marketing strategist from London, says, “If something needs to be coordinated, I’d set up a WhatsApp group for that specific reason. But I’d delete it afterward.”(来自伦敦、41岁的营销策划师Irene说：“如果有事情需要协调，我会为此专门建一个WhatsApp群。但事后我会把它删掉。”)”可知，合理、明智地使用WhatsApp才是关键。故选D。 D Most people hate mosquitoes — but scientists are about to build a “mosquito factory” to release modified 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 Cruz Foundation 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 gen 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. 12. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’Nei? A. To spread one 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. 13. 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. 14. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Removed. B. Approved. C. Cleaned. D. Blocked. 15. 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 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一项关于通过改良蚊子基因来防止蚊子传播疾病的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(然而，这种细菌在蚊子体内却极为罕见。“我们实际上培育出了体内带有这种细菌的蚊子。”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。当这些经过改造的蚊子被释放后，它们会逐渐将这种细菌传播给蚊群)”可知，培育转基因蚊子是为了传播一种细菌。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(多项研究已经证明了这些昆虫的成效。例如，在印度尼西亚进行的一项对照实验表明，经过改造的这种昆虫使得登革热病例减少了77%。这一结果出自2021 年发表的一篇研究论文)”可知，改进后的蚊子能够显著减少登革热病例。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the US Environmental Protection Agency(美国环境保护署)”以及后文“the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida.(在在加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州投放了24亿只转基因蚊子)”可知，美国环保署批准释放24亿只转基因蚊子的行为，后文又介绍了转基因蚊子的作用，故划线词意思是“批准”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“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 (登革热) by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.(几项研究已经证明了这种昆虫的成功。例如，根据2021年发表的一篇研究论文，印度尼西亚的一项对照实验表明，这种转基因昆虫有助于将登革热病例减少77%)”结合文章报道了一项关于通过改良蚊子基因来防止蚊子传播疾病的研究，所以“改良蚊子以对抗疾病”是文章最佳标题。故选B。 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 ____16____ 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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____. 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. ____20____ 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. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了卢克·霍华德对气象学做出的贡献。 【16题详解】 根据下文“He was instead easily distracted by the clouds he could see through the window. ”（相反，他很容易被透过窗户看到的云分散注意力）可知，选项承接下文与下文话题一致，说的都是他不能注意力集中的事情。故D选项“他在学校时不能集中注意力。”切题。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“He started his career as a pharmacist, producing and sending out medicines for people.”（他的职业生涯始于药剂师，为人们生产和分发药品）根据下文“He soon became an amateur meteorologist (业余气象学者).”（他很快就成了一名业余气象学家）可知，选项与上文为转折关系且引起下文，说明他真正热爱的是气象学。故B选项“但他真正热爱的是气象学”切题。meteorology呼应meteorologist (业余气象学者)。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“To take his observations, Howard did sketches (草图) of the clouds as they moved and changed in the sky.”（为了进行观察，霍华德画了云在天空中移动和变化的草图）可知，选项承接上文说明这么做的作用是什么。故E选项“这帮助他认识到我们今天所知道的云的形状”切题。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The second was“cumulus”, meaning heap (一堆) or pile.”（第二个是“积云”，意思是堆或堆。）可知，选项与下文为并列关系，说明的是第一种类型的云。故G选项“第一种叫做“卷云”，在拉丁语中是卷须或毛发的意思”切题。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“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.”（霍华德的研究发表后，气象学领域继续发展。科学家们现在对世界各地的天气模式有了更深入的了解。）可知，选项承接上文说明科学家们现在对世界各地的天气模式有了更深入的了解的原因。故C选项“但这一切都是从霍华德的工作开始的”切题。故选C项。 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, ____36____ (allow) them to travel up to 400 kilometers. Assigned a 10C rating, ____37____ e-platform can reach full charge in just six minutes. The C-rate is an industry measurement standard ____38____ 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 ____39____ (equal) six minutes. “We’ve always been in ____40____ (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) ____41____ (achieve) on charging power.” The e-platform works by delivering a large current (电流) to the charging car, ____42____ high currents tend to generate heat that damages EV batteries. To get around this, BYD says it ____43____ (massive) reduced the internal resistance inside the battery. This technology is currently only available in China, and the company has yet ____44____ (confirm) whether it will make it available internationally. If ____45____ (popularize), BYD’s new charging platform represents a major innovation that could help transform the electric car market. 【答案】36. allowing 37. the 38. where 39. equals 40. pursuit 41. has been achieved 42. but 43. massively 44. to confirm 45. popularized 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了比亚迪最近在中国推出了一种新的充电系统，介绍了该系统的优势、工作原理及其潜在影响。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该汽车制造商宣传其名为“超级电子平台”的系统，可以在5分钟内为其最新车型充电，使它们能够行驶400公里。本句已有谓语动词charge，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词，作结果状语，此处表示一种自然而然的结果，所以空处需用allow“允许”的现在分词allowing。故填allowing。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：该电子平台被指定为10C级，只需6分钟即可充满电。此处特指前文提到的“Super e-Platform”，所以空处需用定冠词the。故填the。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：C率是行业测量标准，1C表示电池可以在一小时内充满电。空处引导定语从句，先行词是standard，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。 【39题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：因此，10C表示电池可以在十分之一小时内充满电，相当于6分钟。本空是which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语，根据前文“indicates”可知，此处描述客观事实，所以时态用一般现在时态，主语是which，指代前文整个句子，所以be动词需用equal“相当于，等于”的第三人称单数形式equals。故填equals。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：比亚迪创始人王传福表示：“我们一直在追求快速充电。”in pursuit of“追求”，固定短语，所以空处需用名词pursuit。故填pursuit。 【41题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这是该行业首次在充电功率上达到兆瓦级。本句是“It/This is the first time that...”句型，其从句需用现在完成时态，主语the unit of megawatt (兆瓦)与动词achieve“实现”是被动关系，所以空处需用现在完成时态的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数，所以助动词需用has。故填has been achieved。 【42题详解】 考查连词。句意：电子平台的工作原理是向充电汽车输送大电流，但大电流往往会产生热量，损坏电动汽车电池。本空前后为转折关系，所以空处需用连词but。故填but。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：为了解决这个问题，比亚迪表示，它大幅降低了电池内部的电阻。空处修饰动词reduced，需用副词，作状语，massive的副词为massively“大量地，大幅度地”。故填massively。 【44题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：这项技术目前仅在中国可用，该公司尚未确认是否会在国际上推广。have has yet to do sth.“尚未做某事”，固定搭配，所以空处需用动词不定式。故填to confirm。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如果普及，比亚迪的新充电平台将是一项重大创新，可能有助于改变电动汽车市场。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时，或从句主语为it，且从句含有be动词时，可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词。本句中的条件状语从句完整句子为if it is popularized，省略it is，保留过去分词。故填popularized。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 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100个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Brown, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】【参考范文】 Dear Mr. Brown, I hope this message finds you well!

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 Nevertheless, in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow. 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了热爱雪花的男孩本特利痴迷观察雪花冰晶，一心想留存雪花之美。他克服困难，耗费积蓄购置特制相机，不顾旁人嘲讽，反复尝试拍摄雪花。最终他拍出清晰完美的雪花照片，收获名声，以影像定格自然之美，被称作“雪花本特利”。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，在那些日子里，没有人在意这件事。”可知，第一段可描写他克服困难，耗费积蓄购置特制相机，不顾旁人嘲讽，反复尝试拍摄雪花，并最终成功成名。 ②由第二段首句内容“尽管获得了新的声誉，雪花本特利只是下定决心要拍出一张完美的照片”可知，第二段可描写最终他拍出清晰完美的雪花照片，收获名声，以影像定格自然之美，被称作“雪花本特利”。 2.续写线索：无人在意——邻居嘲笑——反复尝试——取得成功——收获名声——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①嘲笑：laugh at/tease ②联系：reach out to/get in touch with ③闪过：flicker across/flash across 情绪类 ①了不起的：marvelous/remarkable ②高兴：overjoyed/over the moon 【点睛】[高分句型1] He firmly believed the photographs would be his gift to the world.

(855)8989-2398 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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, and 46,252 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 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.” 8. How does the author feel when exiting a WhatsApp group? A. Relieved. B. Stressed. C. Determined. D. Disappointed. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 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 Cruz Foundation 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 gen 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. 12. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’Nei? A. To spread one 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. 13. 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. 14. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Removed. B. Approved. C. Cleaned. D. Blocked. 15. 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 ____16____ He was instead easily distracted (分心) by the clouds he could see through the window.

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. ____20____ 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.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
