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 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. Taylor Swift. B. Bill Monroe. 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. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍每一位音乐爱好者都应该去游览的几座美国城市。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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(蓝草音乐源于阿巴拉契亚地区早期英国和爱尔兰人的音乐风格，1938年Bill Monroe创立了蓝草男孩乐队，蓝草音乐在肯塔基州的蓝草地区发展起来。这种音乐就以这个乐队命名）可知，Bill Monroe是蓝草音乐的代表人物，所以蓝草音乐家是Bill Monroe。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(爵士乐是the Big Easy的命脉。一个好去处是位于法国区中心的保存厅)”可知，文中提到爵士乐是“the Big Easy”的命脉，且提到的保存厅位于新奥尔良的法国区，所以被称为“the Big Easy”的城市是新奥尔良。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(底特律最常与摩城音乐联系在一起，但鲜为人知的是贝尔维尔三人组——德里克·梅、胡安·阿特金斯和凯文·桑德森——在20世纪80年代创造了一种全新的音乐风格：电子乐)”可知，电子乐是在20世纪80年代被创造出来的。 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 (域名) 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 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. 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. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章报道了加勒比小岛安圭拉因国家域名与人工智能缩写碰巧一致，意外地从全球AI热潮中获得巨额域名注册收入，显著改善了其经济，但当地政府也清醒地认识到这笔横财的不可持续性。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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. (这还为安圭拉（一个位于加勒比海的小岛国）带来了意想不到的收入，因为众多外国公司和个人都在争相注册以.ai为后缀的网站。)”和第二段中“Fueled by the increasing interest in AI, Anguilla’s earnings from web domain (域名) registration fees grew by 400% last year to $32 million. (由于人们对人工智能的兴趣日益浓厚，安圭拉去年从网络域名注册费中获得的收入增长了400%，达到3200万美元。)”可推知，安圭拉正在从人工智能热潮中获益。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Still, many residents are poor and tourism has been frequently hit by powerful hurricanes. (不过，这里的许多居民生活贫困，而且旅游业也经常受到强飓风的严重影响。)”可知，安圭拉的旅游业面临着经常受到自然灾害影响的问题。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中Ellis Webster所说的话“The money takes the pressure off government and helps fund key projects. But we can’t rely on it (这些钱减轻了政府的压力，并为关键项目提供了资金支持。但我们不能完全依赖它。)”和“You can’t predict how long this is going to last. (你无法预测这会持续多久。)”可知，他肯定收入带来了积极影响，体现宽慰，但指出其不可预测性，体现担忧。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While the addresses are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or organization, it’s not always a requirement. (虽然这些地址本应表明某个网站与特定的地区或组织存在关联，但并非总是必须如此。)”可知，网络域名的一个特点是不要求严格遵守规则。 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 — 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. 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 book review. B. A news report. C. A lecture. D. A diary entry. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章报道了一项关于流言蜚语的新研究，指出尽管人们普遍认为流言多是负面的，但实际上大部分是关于日常琐事以维系社会联系，但也警告不应鼓励任何形式的负面流言。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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. (尽管人们普遍认为大多数流言蜚语是关于坏事的，但研究发现，大部分的流言蜚语是关于那些维系人们联系的日常琐事。)”可知，人们普遍假设流言蜚语通常是关于坏事的。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, even such negative gossip serves a purpose: It is a kind of self-reflecting system. (然而，即使是这种负面的流言蜚语也有其目的：它是一种自我反思系统。)”和第五段中“Hearing the negative gossip, the victims may feel hurt, but it may lead them to reflect, and in some cases encourage them to improve (听到那些负面的流言蜚语，受害者可能会感到受伤，但这可能会促使他们进行反思，在某些情况下甚至会激励他们做出改进。)”可知，负面流言也有其目的，可能让人反思，鼓励人改进，这表明它有时可能是有益的。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““So negative gossip — even when they’re prosocial — should not be encouraged,” warns Martinescu. (“所以，负面流言——即使它们是亲社会的——也不应被鼓励，”Martinescu警告说。)”可知，Martinescu很可能建议我们在办公室避免任何负面流言蜚语。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“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. (由Elena Martinescu领导的一项新研究发现，几乎每个人都会说闲话，而且我们在与他人交谈时所花费的时间中，约有60%都用于某种形式的闲话。)”可知，文章开篇引述一项新研究的发现，再对比普遍假设，接着分析流言的不同类型和作用，最后给出研究者的结论性警告，且多次直接引用研究主导者Martinescu的原话。文章是在客观报道新研究，应该出自新闻报道。 D 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 CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) 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. Add some background information. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs. 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. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了生态学家Anita Antoninka为应对干旱地区生物结皮退化的危机，成功探索出在户外培育并移植生物结皮的方法，加速了其自然恢复过程。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中Antoninka所说的话“These tiny biocrusts help create a protective living skin for Earth’s driest places. They absorb CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) other larger plants can use. In turn, the larger plants’ roots grow deep in the ground to protect the soil (这些微小的生物结皮为地球上最干旱的地区提供了保护性的“生命外皮”。它们能够吸收二氧化碳并产生氧气。它们还能通过将大气中的氮气转化为其他较大植物可以利用的营养物质，来丰富干燥的土壤。反过来，较大的植物的根会深入地下生长，以保护土壤。)”和“Only when this full cycle starts working does a true ecosystem exist. (只有当这个完整的循环开始运转时，一个真正的生态系统才会存在。)”可知，生物结皮是启动并维持这个循环的初始环节，表明它们是生态系统的基础。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, in dry lands around the world, biocrusts are under threat from climate change and human activities… but the process takes centuries. It’s why Antoninka… has begun an ambitious new experiment (然而，在世界各地的干旱地区，生物结皮正受到气候变化和人类活动的威胁……这个过程需要数个世纪。这就是为什么Antoninka……开始了一项雄心勃勃的新实验)”可知，该段以“However”开头，将话题从前两段生物结皮的神奇功能和生态作用，转向其面临的全球性威胁以及自然恢复的缓慢，接着指出这是Antoninka开展新实验的原因。这是为Antoninka的研究动机和意义提供了背景，可推知作者是想补充一些背景信息。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“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. (她在那里的实验没有成功。然而，她发现那些远离酷热环境的户外场所足以让这些幼小的植物变得健壮，而且不会导致它们死亡。)”可知，温室环境不利于生物结皮生长，而有一定挑战性的户外环境反而更好。由此推知，画线词意为“轻松的，舒适的”，与Easy“舒适的”意思接近。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Akasha Faist所说的话“For years, ecologists have been waiting for biocrusts to return on their own (多年来，生态学家们一直期待着生物结皮能够自行重新生长起来)”和“But now, efforts from Antoninka have begun to speed up this natural process. (但如今，Antoninka的努力已经开始加速这一自然过程。)”可知，Akasha Faist认为Anita Antoninka的突破在于缩短了生物结皮的再生时间。 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 (可食用性) 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 【答案】36. A 37. E 38. C 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了人类对动物认知的看法如何影响我们对待动物的方式，并通过具体事例和研究来支持这一观点。 【36题详解】 根据上文“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.(他就在门口安装了一个由绳子和铃铛组成的装置，这样狗和猪就能通过发出信号来表示它们想要出去了。狗和猪都学会了这种行为。)”和下文“It learned to ring the bell to show the driver when the dog was outside waiting to get back in.(它还会摇铃提醒主人外面的狗想进门。)”可知，上文说狗和猪都会发信号，下文讲猪和狗更进一步的行为。A选项“But the pig took it a step further.(但猪做得更进一步。)”起到承上启下，衔接普通技能和猪的进阶行为。 【37题详解】 下文“He acknowledged that it had because he stopped eating meat.(他承认确实改变了，因为他不再吃肉了。)”是对一个问题的回答，且和饮食偏好、吃肉相关。E选项“At the end of our trip, I asked whether the experience changed his food preferences.(行程最后我问这段经历是否改变了他的饮食偏好。)”正好对应后文的回答逻辑。 【38题详解】 下文“Research by psychologists suggests that it is likely. In one study, when asked to rate the IQ and edibility (可食用性) 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.(心理学家的研究表明，这种情况很有可能成立。在一项研究中，当被要求对各类动物的智商和可食用性进行评分时，参与者往往认为心智水平越低的动物，越适合被食用。而认为心智水平越高的动物，越不适合被食用。)”是对一般疑问句的回应，且主题是了解动物心智是否改变人类对待它们的方式。C选项“Will learning more about the mind of other animals change how we treat them?(更多了解其他动物的心智会改变我们对待它们的方式吗？)”契合后文研究话题。 【39题详解】 上文“In one study, when asked to rate the IQ and edibility (可食用性) of various animals, participants tended to rate those with less of a mind as more edible. (在一项研究中，当被要求对各类动物的智商和可食用性进行评分时，参与者往往认为心智水平越低的动物，越适合被食用。)”和下文“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.( 被告知袋鼠是食物来源的人，会认为这种动物感知痛苦的能力更弱，也更不值得给予道德关怀；而那些被告知袋鼠生活在亲密家庭群体中的人，则看法相反。)”可知，上文讲了一项研究，下文出现新研究对象袋鼠，G选项“In another study, participants were introduced to a species called Bennett’s tree kangaroo.(在另一项研究中，参与者了解了班尼特树袋鼠这一物种。)”与上文形成 In one study…In another study…的并列结构，衔接自然。 【40题详解】 上文“It’s easier to ignore a mind than to respect one.(无视动物的心智远比尊重它更容易。)”提出人们倾向无视动物有心智，F 选项“Ignoring that animals have a mind protects us from the reality of how we treat them.(无视动物拥有心智这一事实，能让我们回避自己对待动物的残酷现实。)”顺承前文观点，符合语境。 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。 I grew up in France where we celebrate April Fool's Day a little differently than we do here in the US.

In her first math class, Mr. Carter wrote a series of expressions on the blackboard. While most of her classmates nodded and took notes, the symbols “x” and “y” seemed to swim before her eyes. She felt as if she were listening to a “foreign language”. 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. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Every afternoon, the two girls studied together. Zoe never laughed at Lena’s slow progress or silly questions. Instead, she explained patiently and even drew pictures to make those difficult concepts easier to understand. When Lena still got stuck, Zoe broke down each step until she got it right. With Zoe’s encouragement, Lena also worked harder. She took more detailed notes and practiced extra problems every night. Gradually, the “foreign language” of math became familiar, and she even started to feel a little excited when she solved a tough problem. One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. Lena’s hands kept shaking as she picked up her paper. When she saw a bright red “B”, a broad smile spread across her face. She ran to thank Zoe, who hugged her happily, and then found Mr. Carter to share the good news. He patted her shoulder proudly and said, “Hard work pays off”. Lena smiled, realizing that with friendly support, encouragement and her own perseverance, any difficulty could be overcome. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了原本学习自信的Lena升入高中后，难以听懂数学课，作业也完全不会做，数学学习上陷入困惑与挫败，变得自卑不敢举手答题。一次被老师提问时她毫无头绪，还遭到同学Jax的嘲讽。课后Carter老师没有批评她，反而温柔开导，告诉她数学需要方法和练习，并安排热心的Zoe帮助她，还特意调整座位让Zoe成为她的同桌。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Zoe如何帮助Lena，以及Lena努力学习后发生的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Lena取得好成绩向Zoe和Cater老师表示感谢以及Lena的感悟。 2.续写线索：Zoe帮助Lena——Lena努力学习，获得成就感——Lene成绩进步——表示感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②解决：solve/work out ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/cheerfully ②感谢某人：thank sb/be grateful to sb 【点睛】[高分句型1] She ran to thank Zoe, who hugged her happily, and then found Mr. Carter to share the good news.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Lena smiled, realizing that with friendly support, encouragement and her own perseverance, any difficulty could be overcome.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一4月学业评估 英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers probably do next?

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 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. Taylor Swift. B. Bill Monroe. 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 (域名) 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 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. 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 — 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. 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 book review. B. A news report. C. A lecture. D. A diary entry. D 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 CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) 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. Add some background information. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs. 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. 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.

In her first math class, Mr. Carter wrote a series of expressions on the blackboard. While most of her classmates nodded and took notes, the symbols “x” and “y” seemed to swim before her eyes. She felt as if she were listening to a “foreign language”. 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. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, the result of the first math exam came out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语科听力部分。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
