Lexington Rooted in the musical styles of early British and Irish people across Appalachia,bluegrass grew legs in Kentucky's bluegrass area when Bill Monroe founded the Blue Grass Boys in 1938.The music took its name from this band,and the music is still alive in Lexington. Nashville Country music can still be heard ringing out loud and proud on Broadway in Nashville.But country purists should book early to get a seat at The Bluebird Cafe,where stars including Taylor Swift and Faith Hill once 【高一英语第2页（共8页）】 pulled up a chair to play in this small diner.On a Saturday night,a visit to Grand Ole Opry is a must. New Orleans Jazz is the lifeblood of the Big Easy.A fine place to go is Preservation Hall,which is located in the heart of the French Quarter.Half of the fun is in guessing who might perform:Big-name musicians can casually drop by unannounced. Detroit Detroit is most associated with Motown,but lesser known is the story of the Belleville Three-Derrick May,Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson-who,in the 1980s,created a brand new sound:techno.Today the beat lives on. As for where to hear techno,the king of clubs is the TV Lounge,showcasing some of the biggest names in the business.The Leland City Club is another front-runner-Derrick May himself once performed here. 21.Who is a bluegrass musician? A.Bill Monroe. B.Taylor Swift. C.Derrick May. D.Juan Atkins. 22.Which city is also called the Big Easy? A.Lexington. B.Nashville. C.New Orleans. D.Detroit. 23.When was techno created? A.In the 1930s. B.In the 1950s. C.In the 1960s. D.In the 1980s. B The rapid growth of artificial intelligence(AI)in the world has benefited robot makers and computer scientists.It's also providing an unexpected income for Anguilla,a tiny island in the Caribbean,as foreign companies and individuals fight to register websites that end in.ai. Fueled by the increasing interest in AI,Anguilla's earnings from web domain()registration fees grew by 400%last year to $32 million.The income now accounts for about 20%of Anguilla's total government income.Just a few years ago,it was at around 5%. To help keep up with the rapid growth in domain registrations,Anguilla is signing a deal with a US-based domain management company,Identity Digital,to help manage the effort.The agreement will mean more money for the government while improving the security of the web addresses. Anguilla's government,which uses the gov.ai home page,collects a fee every time an.ai web address is renewed.It also gets paid when new addresses are registered and abandoned ones are sold off. The money directly fuels the economy of Anguilla,which is just 91 square kilometers and has a population of about 16,000.Surrounded with blue waters and white sand beaches,the island is a destination for wealthy tourists.Still,many residents are poor and tourism has been frequently hit by powerful hurricanes. "The money takes the pressure off government and helps fund key projects.But we can't rely on it," Premier Ellis Webster said."You can't predict how long this is going to last." The island was given the.ai internet address in the 1995.It was one of hundreds of ordinary addresses assigned to individual countries and regions based on their names.While the addresses are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or organization,it's not always a requirement.So it was just luck that it was Anguilla,and not nearby Antigua,that got the.ai domain. 【高一英语第3页（共8页）】 24.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A.Web addresses are often in short supply. B.AI industry is growing fast in Anguilla. C.Anguilla is benefiting from the AI craze. D.Anguilla is a big country in the Caribbean. 25.What is the problem with the tourism in Anguilla? A.The waters and beaches are polluted. B.It is often affected by natural disasters. C.Most tourists spend little money there. D.It is controlled by a US-based company. 26.How did Ellis Webster most probably feel about the new income? A.Relieved and worried. B.Worried and disappointed. C.Ashamed and relieved. D.Disappointed and ashamed. 27.What is a feature of the web domain? A.It must be based on a country's name. B.It has to be bought by a certain country. C.It is often shared by neighboring countries. D.It is not required to follow the rule strictly. C A new study led by Elena Martinescu has found that almost everyone gossips and that around 60 percent of the time we spend on conversation with other people involves some form of gossip. "We have found that adults spend about 52 minutes per day talking to someone about someone else who is not present,"says Martinescu,a researcher at King's College London who has been studying gossip in the workplace."We gossip about our friends,we gossip about our enemies,and we gossip about stars we've never met before-一and likely never will.” But here's the surprise:Despite the assumption that most gossip is about bad things,the study found that the majority of gossip is about everyday things that keep people connected.For example,we share whose daughter has got her driver's license or whose uncle has had a kidney stone. Of course,some gossip is about bad things.It can be about someone who cheats at cards or who does not work hard in the office.However,even such negative gossip serves a purpose:It is a kind of self-reflecting system. "Hearing the negative gossip,the victims may feel hurt,but it may lead them to reflect,and in some cases encourage them to improve,"explains Martinescu. Gossip that strengthens relationship and benefits cooperation is called prosocial gossip.It may involve sharing unfavorable judgments,but the shared information could also protect many people from antisocial behavior. Of course,it does not mean that green light should be given to negative gossip.According to the study,it will backfire since we don't share negative gossip with a desire to help others.Instead,we do it because we are usually driven by jealousy or the desire to get attention. "So negative gossip-even when they're prosocial-should not be encouraged,"warns Martinescu. 28.What is the popular assumption about gossip? A.Almost everyone gossips. B.It is usually about bad things. C.It encourages cooperation. D.Most of it is about daily things. 29.Which of the following can best describe the negative gossip? A.It is often based on good will. B.It always happens among close friends. C.It may be beneficial sometimes. D.It plays a key role in strengthening ties. 【高一英语第4页（共8页）】 30.What will Martinescu most probably suggest we do in the office? A.Monitor all sorts of gossiping. B.Show support to the victims. C.Take part in prosocial gossip. D.Avoid any negative gossiping. 31.From which is the text probably taken? A.A news report. B.A book review. C.A lecture. D.A diary entry. ◇ Like a magician,Anita Antoninka poured some water over the so-called biocrusts that she had planted in the Arizona desert and within seconds,the seemingly lifeless soil at her feet turned into a blanket of dark-green moss(苔藓)！ "These tiny biocrusts help create a protective living skin for Earth's driest places.They absorb COa and produce O2.They also enrich the dry soil by changing Na in the atmosphere into nutrients()other larger plants can use.In turn,the larger plants'roots grow deep in the ground to protect the soil,"explained Antoninka."Only when this full cycle starts working does a true ecosystem exist." However,in dry lands around the world,biocrusts are under threat from climate change and human activities.Biocrusts can regrow,but the process takes centuries.It's why Antoninka from Northern Arizona University has begun an ambitious new experiment:She is growing biocrusts and transplanting them to some of the driest areas in the US.Luckily for her,she only needs tiny pieces of biocrusts,because any individual cell in biocrusts can regrow into a functioning mini ecosystem,as long as conditions are suitable. And suitable means unpleasant.Antoninka found that life in a greenhouse was too cushy for biocrusts and her experiments there failed.Instead,she found that outdoor places sheltered from extreme heat were enough to toughen up the tiny plants without killing them.Antoninka now grows biocrusts on materials so that they can be rolled up,transported,and planted in new locations. "For years,ecologists have been waiting for biocrusts to return on their own,"said Akasha Faist,an ecologist at New Mexico State University."But now,efforts from Antoninka have begun to speed up this natural process.” 32.What can we know about biocrusts? A.They can grow into very large plants. B.They can regrow fast in the driest places. C.They are the basis of the ecosystem. D.They can help some chemical reactions. 33.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Add some background information. C.Provide some advice for researchers. D.Introduce a new topic for discussion. 34.Which is closest in meaning to "cushy"underlined in paragraph 4? A.Hot. B.Tough. C.Strange. D.Easy. 35.What was Anita Antoninka's breakthrough according to Akasha Faist? A.She shortened biocrusts'regrowing time. B.She discovered biocrusts for the first time. C.She invented materials to speed up the process. D.She successfully grew biocrusts in greenhouses. 【高一英语第5页（共8页）】 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。 A few years ago,during a taxi ride,the driver described to me how his pet pig had changed his life.Once he set up a string-and-bell system by the door,the dog and pig could signal when they wanted to go outside.Both the dog and pig learned to do this.36:It learned to ring the bell to show the driver when the dog was outside waiting to get back in. He had many examples like this and told with pride.37.He acknowledged that it had because he stopped eating meat. 38 Research by psychologists suggests that it is likely.In one study,when asked to rate the IQ and edibility()of various animals,participants tended to rate those with less of a mind as more edible.They then rated those with more of a mind as less edible.39.Those who were told the kangaroo was a food source viewed it as being less capable of suffering and less worthy of moral concern than those who were told the animal lived in a very close family.These studies show that our knowledge does affect our behavior. However,we still have to face a cruel reality:It's easier to ignore a mind than to respect one.40. A.But the pig took it a step further B.Is it possible for us to study animals'mind C.Will learning more about the mind of other animals change how we treat them D.The way we treat animals is strongly related to the mind we believe they possess E.At the end of our trip,I asked whether the experience changed his food preferences F.Ignoring that animals have a mind protects us from the reality of how we treat them G.In another study,participants were introduced to a species called Bennett's tree kangaroo 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人空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in France where we celebrate April Fools Day a little differently than we do here in the US.The traditional prank()in France 41 a home-made paper fish.If the prankster succeeds in 42 it to the back of a friend,colleague or family member,he shouts,"April Fish!"

The confusion only grew when she sat down to do her homework.For two hours she remained at her desk, staring at the textbook and the blank pages of her notebook.She reread the first question ten times,but the numbers refused to make sense.Upset and ashamed,she never felt so defeated by a subject. Her anxiety deepened over the following days.She stopped raising her hand.She was worried that her questions would sound stupid.One day,Mr.Carter called on her to answer a question.Lena stood up,her face burning with embarrassment because she was totally clueless about the answer.But a boy named Jax said in a low voice,"Even a middle schooler knows that!" Lena bit her lip and sank back into her seat with her head hanging very low.Seeing this,Mr.Carter asked Lena to stay after class.Instead of criticizing her,he said gently,"I notice you've been struggling,Lena.Math can be tough at first.Like learning to play a musical instrument,it requires the right method and a lot of practice.I have talked to Zoe and she has agreed to help you.You know,she is a kind girl and is always ready to help.” The next day,Mr.Carter rearranged the seats,and Zoe became Lena's new deskmate. 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。 Every afternoon,the two girls studied together.
