Red House, London Nothing better represents the commitment of William Morris, the creative genius of interiors to beauty than his striking home in London. From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows a strong medieval style. Mackintosh House, Glasgow Located on the site of the former home of legendary architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the reconstructed Mackintosh House offers a rare insight into their private lives. Furnished with the couple's own furniture, everything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornwall Though she was born in Yorkshire, British sculptor Barbara Hepworth moved to Cornwall and stayed there for the rest of her life. She claimed that there was a quantity of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline and sea view that she simply couldn't obtain from the city. It was Hepworth's wish that her home would be turned into a museum of her work. Henry Moore Foundation, Hertfordshire Sculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many of his most famous works there. Unlike traditional galleries, visitors can get close with these impressive structures. Access to Moore's home is through guided tours only. Visit on a sunny day, take a picnic, and experience the scenic village in person! 21. Which residence is influenced by medieval styles? A. Red House. B. Mackintosh House. C. Henry Moore Foundation. D. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. 22. What do we know about the Mackintosh House? A. It is the current residence of Mackintosh. B. It is rebuilt to improve Mackintosh's life. C. It restores the interior design of the Mackintosh's. D. It reflects Mackintosh's faith in original furniture design. 23. What do the last two residences have in common? A. Both sculptors take inspiration from nature. B. Both sites allow close contact with the designers. C. Both residences will be turned into urban museums. D. Both sites allow tours accompanied by the guide only. B Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science's annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization. Shanya's inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder's Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added. After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That's because smoke detectors sense active fires through the smoke in the air, while Shanya's thermal imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring. Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message alert. Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors. “Shanya saw a problem and tried hard to solve it, and that's what we need to encourage all young people to do,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of the Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future. 24. What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system? A. A neighbor's burnt kitchen. B. A report on Washington Post. C. A terrible restaurant experience. D. A horrible fire in her community. 25. How can Shanya's fire detection system help prevent fire? A. By having people updated. B. By sending a warning mail. C. By controlling the water tap. D. By putting out a heat source. 26. Why did the final device succeed? A. It was fast and precise. B. It was cheap and simple. C. It was complex and unique. D. It was affordable and convenient. 27. What may Ajmera agree? A. Teenagers are the architect of the future. B. A problem is a chance to bring out the best. C. The thirst for knowledge is a never-ending one. D. The best way to predict the future is to create it. C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you'd probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you'll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure or experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life. 28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts? A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Lack of interest. D. Art space unavailability. 29. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage? A. It explores mysteries of nature. B. It sparks emotional responses. C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life. 30. What will be talked about next in the passage? A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combining art and life. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Art Journey: From Body to Mind B. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity C. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy D If you have always suspected that you might just be a mosquito magnet (招蚊子的人), scientists now have evidence for you: Mosquitoes indeed are attracted to certain humans more than others, according to a new study. A research team at Rockefeller University sought to identify why certain people seem to draw more mosquitoes than others. Over the course of three years, researchers asked a group of 64 volunteers to wear nylon stockings on their arms for six hours a day over multiple days. Maria Elena De Obaldia, the study's first author, constructed a glass container in which researchers put two of the stockings. The study team then released yellow fever mosquitoes into the container and observed which stocking drew more insects. This test allowed researchers to separate study participants into mosquito magnets, whose stockings drew lots of mosquitoes, and low attractors, who didn't seem attractive to the insects. The scientists examined carefully the skin of the mosquito magnets and found 50 molecular compounds that were higher in these participants than the others. “We didn't hold certain expectations about what we would find,” said Vosshall, one of the researchers. But one difference was particularly distinctive: The mosquito magnets had much higher rates of carboxylic acid (羧酸) on their skin than the low attractors. Carboxylic acids are found in sebum, the oily substance that creates a barrier and helps protect our skin. “The carboxylic acids are large molecules,” Vosshall explained. “They're not that simply by themselves,” she said. But beneficial bacteria on the skin chew on these acids that produce the characteristic smell of humans, which may be what attracts mosquitoes, according to Vosshall. Carboxylic acids are just one piece of the puzzle in explaining how the annoying insects might choose their targets. Body heat and the carbon dioxide we release when we breathe also attract mosquitoes to humans. Scientists still don't know why carboxylic acids seem to attract mosquitoes so strongly. The next step might be to explore the effects of reducing carboxylic acids on the skin. 32. Why did the researchers carry out the test in the container? A. To free people from mosquitoes. B. To identify mosquito magnets. C. To distinguish certain mosquitoes. D. To better attract other insects. 33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The feature of human skin. B. The definition of acid. C. The expectation of the researchers. D. The finding of the study. 34. What makes carboxylic acids smelly? A. Beneficial bacteria. B. Body heat. C. Carbon dioxide. D. Human sweat. 35. What can we infer about mosquito magnets from the text? A. They never wear stockings in summer. B. They feature higher body temperature. C. Their root cause has remained unclear. D. Their daily routine differs from others. 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。 For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to rush directly to tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery shopping on holiday. As a vegetarian, finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. 36_____ The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, the ones I would struggle to find even in the UK. 37_____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores. 38______ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 39_____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones. Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country's citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 40_______. A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast. B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too. C. The smoked product is unique and specially packed. D. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen. E. It's an act of understanding people as much as of buying food. F. Corn pancakes always require a trip to a bigger grocery store. 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。 In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California.

But his story, the life inside of him, 50_____ me.” And even though Peterson, a 51_____ of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn't picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson's 52_____ with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization 53_____ befriending and painting portraits of the members of the community who are 54 ._____ Peterson sold the portrait for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model.

Every time that happens, my parents would tell us to look on the bright side and make the best of a bad situation. However, I never managed to do that until this spring. On a sunny morning last month, my aunt Jen invited us to the annual outdoor spring celebration at her farm. Since my family hadn't done anything different for ages, the whole family was very excited and everyone pulled his own weight to make sure everything goes as planned. In order to add more fun to this exciting trip, my little sister Indi and my little brother Tex even joined me to make an extra special treat—cupcakes. The picnic was intended to go from twelve to three. After double-checking the car, my parents loaded books, games, picnic blanket, and a whole big pack of food into the car. The moment of our departure finally arrived as the clock struck 11. However, everything went wrong the instant we bravely drove off. First, we had to stop and wait for Tex to find his shoes. Next, as we were driving down the road, we had to go back to the house because my mum forgot her wallet. Then, about halfway to Aunt Jen's house, we had to drive far out of our way to find a place for Indi to use the bathroom. After that, my parents decided it'd be quicker to take this one little side country road as a shortcut. But the shortcut ended up turning into a long cut! We drove forever on a winding road with wildflower field spreading endlessly out on both sides and the deep green pine trees going on and on within our sight. Spotting hundreds of birds flying in the sky, I was seized by a growing sense of desperation for I entirely had no idea when we could hit our destination. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Just then, our car started making a strange noise._______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ At first, we kids weren't excited about the idea._______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 单元检测卷 （考查范围：UNIT 1 时间：120分钟 分值：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

He is a graduate from Cambridge University. W: Maybe you are right. Let’s wait for his excellent performance. Text 2 W: You look pale. What’s the matter with you? M: I feel very terrible. Last night I was tired and went to bed at 8:30. But suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. W: What on earth happened? M: It was my new neighbour. He wanted to borrow my CD player. After he left, there was a telephone call from my sister. Text 3 W: Hey, John. Can you turn that up a little, please? M: Sure. Do you like classical music? W: Oh, yes. M: Why not go to the concert tonight? Text 4 M: Tickets are two dollars each for adults. Children’s tickets are half the price. W: Okay. I’d like six children’s tickets, please. Text 5 M: Mary, I have an extra ticket for the concert tonight. Can you come with us? W: I’d love to, but we’ll have some guests tonight. Thank you, anyway. 第二节 Text 6 W: Did you listen to that new band I told you about? M: Yes, I did. I think they are OK. W: Just OK? You don’t like them? M: Well, I’m not a big fan of their singer. W: Well, what kind of singer do you like? M: I’m more of a classic rock kind of guy. W: Oh, I get it. You like loud guys with long hair who don’t make any sense when they sing. M: Well, they’re better than emotional women who just sing about their boyfriends all the time. W: Each to their own, I suppose. Text 7 M: Why are all the lights turned down in here? You are making me want to go to sleep. W: I always listen to jazz music like this. I love this kind of calm atmosphere. M: I could understand if we were at a restaurant, but it’s 2:00 in the afternoon! Why don’t you play something a little more lively like rock ‘n’ roll? W: Because I’m studying, and if I play something like that, I won’t be able to concentrate. M: You know what we should do? There is a new band playing at the theatre. We can have dinner here, and then go to see them play. W: What kind of music do they play? M: Soul music. It’s a mixture of my music and yours. W: It’s the perfect compromise! Text 8 W: That’s a beautiful painting you’ve got there. M: Thank you. I painted it myself. W: I thought it was the work of some famous artists. How long did it take you to finish such a painting? M: Three days. W: That’s hard work. I thought it took three or four hours or something. M: Yes, painting isn’t as easy as people think. But if you really like it, you won’t think it’s hard work. You enjoy it no matter how long it takes. W: Tell me when you started to have an interest in painting. M: We had painting classes at school, but only after visiting the art museum of our city did I begin to think of painting seriously. I was shocked. W: Shocked? What made you feel like that? M: It’s hard to describe that feeling with words. Anyway I got very excited when I saw those works. The people and things in the paintings seem to be saying something to me. W: What did they say to you? M: They seem to be telling me that they had a life. And it’s a kind of life that we can only touch with our hearts. Text 9 W: What are you reading, Matt? M: It’s called The Art of War . It’s an ancient Chinese book about army science. It was written by a Chinese general. W: Are you reading it for class? M: No, it’s for my personal interest. The book is famous all over the world and has been used by many armies to help win battles. I am reading it to improve my chess playing. W: How will that help you? M: I don’t know yet, but I have heard good things about it from some top players. It should help me make better game plans and play a trick on the person I’m playing against. You know, this book is also used in business situations. W: To help a company win the competition? M: Yes. But some managers also use it to become better leaders in their own office. Workplaces can sometimes be like little armies, I think. W: That is exactly how I would describe my work environment. Maybe I should borrow your book when you’re done. M: Well, Auntie Lin, I wouldn’t want you to have the mind of an army leader. I like you just the way you are. Text 10 My name is Emily. I had been a dancer for quite a long time. I started studying ballet when I was six years old. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I was eighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wanted to do it professionally. So I applied successfully for the training program at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, and moved to Toronto to attend the program. That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated on scholarship and danced professionally for ten years. But after all those years, I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of a burden than a joy. I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself to dance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often. But it makes me happy to think that I’ll never have to go to another training session again. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Best of British: Artists' Residences Get up close with the inspiring places Britain's most vibrant artists called home. Red House, London Nothing better represents the commitment of William Morris, the creative genius of interiors to beauty than his striking home in London. From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows a strong medieval style. Mackintosh House, Glasgow Located on the site of the former home of legendary architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the reconstructed Mackintosh House offers a rare insight into their private lives. Furnished with the couple's own furniture, everything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornwall Though she was born in Yorkshire, British sculptor Barbara Hepworth moved to Cornwall and stayed there for the rest of her life. She claimed that there was a quantity of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline and sea view that she simply couldn't obtain from the city. It was Hepworth's wish that her home would be turned into a museum of her work. Henry Moore Foundation, Hertfordshire Sculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many of his most famous works there. Unlike traditional galleries, visitors can get close with these impressive structures. Access to Moore's home is through guided tours only. Visit on a sunny day, take a picnic, and experience the scenic village in person! 21. Which residence is influenced by medieval styles? A. Red House. B. Mackintosh House. C. Henry Moore Foundation. D. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. 22. What do we know about the Mackintosh House? A. It is the current residence of Mackintosh. B. It is rebuilt to improve Mackintosh's life. C. It restores the interior design of the Mackintosh's. D. It reflects Mackintosh's faith in original furniture design. 23. What do the last two residences have in common? A. Both sculptors take inspiration from nature. B. Both sites allow close contact with the designers. C. Both residences will be turned into urban museums. D. Both sites allow tours accompanied by the guide only. 解析： 21. A [细节理解题。根据对 Red House 介绍中“From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows a strong medieval style.”可知，Red House 具有强烈的中世纪风格，故选 A。] 22. C [细节理解题。根据对 Mackintosh House 介绍中最后一句“Furnished with the couple’s own furniture, everything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible.”可知，Mackintosh House 尽可能忠实地重新修整了 Mackintosh 住所的家居内饰，故选 C。] 23. A [细节理解题。根据对 Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden 介绍中“She claimed that there was a quantity of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline and sea view that she simply couldn’t obtain from the city.”以及对 Henry Moore Foundation 介绍中“Sculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many of his most famous works there.”可知，两位雕塑家都从自然中汲取了灵感，故选 A。] B Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science's annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization. Shanya's inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder's Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added. After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That's because smoke detectors sense active fires through the smoke in the air, while Shanya's thermal imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring. Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message alert. Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors. “Shanya saw a problem and tried hard to solve it, and that's what we need to encourage all young people to do,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of the Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future. 24. What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system? A. A neighbor's burnt kitchen. B. A report on Washington Post. C. A terrible restaurant experience. D. A horrible fire in her community. 25. How can Shanya's fire detection system help prevent fire? A. By having people updated. B. By sending a warning mail. C. By controlling the water tap. D. By putting out a heat source. 26. Why did the final device succeed? A. It was fast and precise. B. It was cheap and simple. C. It was complex and unique. D. It was affordable and convenient. 27. What may Ajmera agree? A. Teenagers are the architect of the future. B. A problem is a chance to bring out the best. C. The thirst for knowledge is a never-ending one. D. The best way to predict the future is to create it. 解析： 24. D [细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post.”可知，是 Shanya 的社区发生的一场可怕的火灾后发生了她对火灾探测系统的设计。故选 D 项。] 25. A [细节理解题。根据第四段中“The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message alert.”可知，Shanya 的火灾探测系统是通过让人们得到最新信息来帮助预防火灾的。故选 A 项。] 26. A [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.”可知，因为又迅速又准确，所以最终的装置成功了。故选 A 项。] 27. B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Ajmera 说的话“Shanya saw a problem and tried hard to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage all young people to do”可推知，Ajmera 认为，问题是一个发挥最佳水平的机会。故选 B 项。] C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you'd probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you'll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure or experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life. 28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts? A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Lack of interest. D. Art space unavailability. 29. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage? A. It explores mysteries of nature. B. It sparks emotional responses. C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life. 30. What will be talked about next in the passage? A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combining art and life. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Art Journey: From Body to Mind B. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity C. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy 解析： 28. A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.”可知，阻碍人们享受艺术的是安排得满满的日程，即缺少享受艺术的时间。故选 A 项。] 29. B [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.”可知，艺术可能会刺激一种突然的觉醒，给人带来震惊。由此可推知，艺术会给人带来情绪方面的刺激。故选 B 项。] 30. A [推理判断题。最后一段中的“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.”提到了制订一个时间表，将艺术融入日常生活。由此可推知，后文应以这一话题继续讲述如何安排这样的时间表，如何将艺术融入日常生活规划中。故选 A 项。] 31. B [标题归纳题。阅读文章可知，文章最后一段点明了作者想要表达的核心，即摒弃掉“对艺术理论式的喜爱”，将艺术真正融入生活，使其成为生活中的必需品，而非奢侈品。故选项 B “拥抱艺术：从奢侈品到必需品” 贴合主旨，最适合作本文的标题。故选 B 项。] D If you have always suspected that you might just be a mosquito magnet (招蚊子的人), scientists now have evidence for you: Mosquitoes indeed are attracted to certain humans more than others, according to a new study. A research team at Rockefeller University sought to identify why certain people seem to draw more mosquitoes than others. Over the course of three years, researchers asked a group of 64 volunteers to wear nylon stockings on their arms for six hours a day over multiple days. Maria Elena De Obaldia, the study's first author, constructed a glass container in which researchers put two of the stockings. The study team then released yellow fever mosquitoes into the container and observed which stocking drew more insects. This test allowed researchers to separate study participants into mosquito magnets, whose stockings drew lots of mosquitoes, and low attractors, who didn't seem attractive to the insects. The scientists examined carefully the skin of the mosquito magnets and found 50 molecular compounds that were higher in these participants than the others. “We didn't hold certain expectations about what we would find,” said Vosshall, one of the researchers. But one difference was particularly distinctive: The mosquito magnets had much higher rates of carboxylic acid (羧酸) on their skin than the low attractors. Carboxylic acids are found in sebum, the oily substance that creates a barrier and helps protect our skin. “The carboxylic acids are large molecules,” Vosshall explained. “They're not that simply by themselves,” she said. But beneficial bacteria on the skin chew on these acids that produce the characteristic smell of humans, which may be what attracts mosquitoes, according to Vosshall. Carboxylic acids are just one piece of the puzzle in explaining how the annoying insects might choose their targets. Body heat and the carbon dioxide we release when we breathe also attract mosquitoes to humans. Scientists still don't know why carboxylic acids seem to attract mosquitoes so strongly. The next step might be to explore the effects of reducing carboxylic acids on the skin. 32. Why did the researchers carry out the test in the container? A. To free people from mosquitoes. B. To identify mosquito magnets. C. To distinguish certain mosquitoes. D. To better attract other insects. 33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The feature of human skin. B. The definition of acid. C. The expectation of the researchers. D. The finding of the study. 34. What makes carboxylic acids smelly? A. Beneficial bacteria. B. Body heat. C. Carbon dioxide. D. Human sweat. 35. What can we infer about mosquito magnets from the text? A. They never wear stockings in summer. B. They feature higher body temperature. C. Their root cause has remained unclear. D. Their daily routine differs from others. 解析：32. B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A research team at Rockefeller University sought to identify why certain people seem to draw more mosquitoes than others.”及第三段中的“This test allowed researchers to separate study participants into mosquito magnets...and low attractors...”可知，研究人员在玻璃容器里进行实验是为了找到更受蚊子偏爱的人群。] 33. D [段落大意题。通读第四段，尤其是“But one difference was particularly distinctive: The mosquito magnets had much higher rates of carboxylic acid...”可知，本段主要介绍此次研究的发现。] 34. A [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But beneficial bacteria on the skin chew on these acids that produce the characteristic smell of humans...”可知，益生菌吞噬酸，使其产生一种人类特有的气味，并吸引蚊虫叮咬。] 35. C [推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Carboxylic acids are just one piece of the puzzle in explaining...”及最后一段可推断，为何有的人更爱蚊子偏爱的根本原因尚不清楚。] 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。 For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to rush directly to tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery shopping on holiday. As a vegetarian, finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. 36_____ The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, the ones I would struggle to find even in the UK. 37_____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores. 38______ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 39_____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones. Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country's citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 40_______. A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast. B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too. C. The smoked product is unique and specially packed. D. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen. E. It's an act of understanding people as much as of buying food. F. Corn pancakes always require a trip to a bigger grocery store. 参考答案36—40 DABFE 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。 In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California.

Every time that happens, my parents would tell us to look on the bright side and make the best of a bad situation. However, I never managed to do that until this spring. On a sunny morning last month, my aunt Jen invited us to the annual outdoor spring celebration at her farm. Since my family hadn't done anything different for ages, the whole family was very excited and everyone pulled his own weight to make sure everything goes as planned. In order to add more fun to this exciting trip, my little sister Indi and my little brother Tex even joined me to make an extra special treat—cupcakes. The picnic was intended to go from twelve to three. After double-checking the car, my parents loaded books, games, picnic blanket, and a whole big pack of food into the car. The moment of our departure finally arrived as the clock struck 11. However, everything went wrong the instant we bravely drove off. First, we had to stop and wait for Tex to find his shoes. Next, as we were driving down the road, we had to go back to the house because my mum forgot her wallet. Then, about halfway to Aunt Jen's house, we had to drive far out of our way to find a place for Indi to use the bathroom. After that, my parents decided it'd be quicker to take this one little side country road as a shortcut. But the shortcut ended up turning into a long cut! We drove forever on a winding road with wildflower field spreading endlessly out on both sides and the deep green pine trees going on and on within our sight. Spotting hundreds of birds flying in the sky, I was seized by a growing sense of desperation for I entirely had no idea when we could hit our destination. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Just then, our car started making a strange noise._______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ At first, we kids weren't excited about the idea._______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 第一节 [参考范文] Dear committee members, I wish to make a suggestion about starting a school art gallery. There are many students who are good at painting in our school. The school art gallery can provide these students with a very good platform to display their own paintings, offer them a chance to admire the artistic achievements and the development of school culture as well as widen their knowledge. If you were to offer such an opportunity to the students who are fond of art, I believe they would give you a big surprise. I would be more than happy if my suggestion could be considered. Yours faithfully, Li Hua 第二节 [参考范文] Just then, our car started making a strange noise. Obviously, there was something wrong with it and we had to pull over and call roadside service. Dad comforted us and claimed that help would arrive soon. But help did not arrive soon at all. So frustrated was I that I felt the whole world crumbled with tears streaming down my cheeks. Then came my dad’s voice, “Look on the bright side,” said Dad. Our car couldn’t have picked a prettier place to break down. Mum agreed, getting out the picnic blanket and suggested walking over to that gorgeous wildflower field and have our own springtime celebration. At first, we kids weren’t excited about the idea. We carried stuff over to the field, dragged ourselves down, and grumbled. But as we started looking around, cool things started happening. Hundreds of butterflies were dancing on the boundless wildflower field, looking like a beautiful scroll spreading out just for us. With a whooshing sound, a flock of birds rose up out of the pine trees, and flew around and around in the most amazing wavelike patterns, right over our heads! Just right there, we enjoyed our hand-made special treats, which were so delicious! It ended up one of the most amazing picnics in my life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $单元检测卷一第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one. you want the Young fellow . to design the new art museum for us.
