Today, a brand-new Fahai Temple Mural Art Center has been built at the foot of the mountain. “By using digital modern technology, valuable digital resources have been created, allowing the inactive frescoes to come to life,” said Liu Xiaobo, the art center’s curator. First built in 1439, the Fahai Temple is known as one of the “three major frescoes in China” together with the frescoes found in Dunhuang and Yongle Palace. “The frescoes depict 77 figures, including ordinary people, Buddhas and bodhisattvas, each with different postures and expressions,” said Liu. With the fall of Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Fahai Temple too came to an abrupt end. However, in recent years, the development of a high-tech industry featuring creativity services and digital technology has given the Shijingshan district government more confidence in the digital display of frescoes. At the exhibition of Fahai Temple Mural Art Center, the original mural paintings are displayed on a 4K HD screen, presenting them at their actual size. Each of the 77 figures is portrayed with thorough attention to detail using 3D modeling at the pixel (像素) level. The facial details of Water-moon Avalokitesvara, one of the most representative figures on the frescoes of Fahai Temple, are hard to make out in dim conditions. However, after using 3D modeling, the figure’s face, which measures over 3 meters tall, can be seen clearly on the 4K HD screen at the mural hall of the art center. “Through technological means, we can zoom in on them to show specific details and introduce the content of the frescoes item by item, offering the audience ample time to understand the frescoes,” Liu explained. 4. What can we know about the Fahai Temple frescoes? A. They were built during the Qing Dynasty. B. They are among China’s three major frescoes. C. There are altogether 77 Buddhas in the frescoes. D. They remained prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. 5. Why is 3D modeling used for the frescoes? A. To reduce the actual size of the figures. B. To make the figures move like real ones. C. To change the facial expressions of the figures. D. To show the details more clearly and completely. 6. What does the underlined word “zoom in on” probably mean? A. Enlarge B. Decorate C. Restore D. Appreciate 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The long history of the Fahai Temple. B. Ways to appreciate the Fahai Temple frescoes. C. The introduction of three great Chinese frescoes. D.

It’s already widely used and promises to significantly improve consumer electronics in the future. However, producing graphene on a large scale remains difficult and expensive, which has led researchers to explore alternative methods. Led by a team from the University of New South Wales, the new research shows that the peanut shell has the potential to boost graphene production, and in a way that’s cheaper and more eco-friendly than some traditional graphene making methods. Worldwide peanut production results in more than 10 million tons of waste piling up each year. Key to the process is the natural material called lignin (木质素), which is packed with carbon. It was already known to be present in peanut shells, but the researchers had to figure out the best way to process it. The researchers first prepared the peanut shells through a controlled heating process to remove unwanted substances. They then applied a technique known as flash heating, which uses electricity to raise the temperature to over 3,000°C within milliseconds. This rapid heating rearranges the structures of peanut shells. “That process is vital to give us the best carbon-rich material to help ensure there are few imperfections in the final graphene and that it is indeed just a single layer,” says Yeoh. Although the peanut-shell-to-graphene line has been experimented with before, this study highlights how carefully controlling the starting material can significantly improve the resulting graphene quality. That’s not to say the process is perfect yet, though. The resulting graphene material scores highly in terms of quality but is typically composed of a few graphene layers in a disordered way, and the technique could take three to four years to expand for larger use, the researchers note. Work to further refine the process from this lab-based proof of concept will continue, and researchers are now exploring whether similar methods could be applied to other materials such as coffee grounds or banana peels. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how graphene is produced. B. To compare graphene with other materials. C. To describe the history of graphene research. D. To introduce graphene’s function and limitation. 9. What makes peanut shells suitable for graphene production? A. Their light weight nature. B. Their carbon content. C. Their health-friendly feature. D. Their large yearly output. 10. What is the function of the flash heating? A. Structuring. B. Removing. C. Cleaning. D. Packing. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the current research? A. Uninterested in its practical use. B. Doubtful about its future value. C. Positive but aware of its limitations. D. Completely satisfied with its results. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍石墨烯的特性、应用前景及生产局限，以及利用花生壳生产石墨烯的新方法及研究进展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Graphene (石墨烯) is based on carbon and is often described as a wonder material: it’s super strong, super light, and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It’s already widely used and promises to significantly improve consumer electronics in the future. However, producing graphene on a large scale remains difficult and expensive, which has led researchers to explore alternative methods.(石墨烯以碳为基础，常被称为神奇材料：它超级坚固、超级轻盈，还是优良的热和电导体。它已被广泛应用，并有望在未来显著改善消费电子产品。然而，大规模生产石墨烯仍然困难且昂贵，这促使研究人员探索替代方法)”可知，第一段主要目的是介绍石墨烯的功能特性和大规模生产的局限。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Key to the process is the natural material called lignin (木质素), which is packed with carbon. It was already known to be present in peanut shells, but the researchers had to figure out the best way to process it.(这一过程的关键是一种名为木质素的天然材料，它富含碳。人们早已知道花生壳中含有这种物质，但研究人员必须找到最佳的加工方法)”可知，花生壳适合用于生产石墨烯的原因是其含有的木质素富含碳，即花生壳本身含有碳元素。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They then applied a technique known as flash heating, which uses electricity to raise the temperature to over 3,000°C within milliseconds. This rapid heating rearranges the structures of peanut shells.(然后他们应用了一种名为闪速加热的技术，利用电力在毫秒内将温度升高到3000摄氏度以上。这种快速加热会重新排列花生壳的结构)”可知，闪速加热的作用是重新排列花生壳的结构，即具有塑形、构建结构的作用。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although the peanut-shell-to-graphene line has been experimented with before, this study highlights how carefully controlling the starting material can significantly improve the resulting graphene quality.(尽管用花生壳生产石墨烯的方法以前已经尝试过，但这项研究强调了仔细控制原材料可以显著提高最终石墨烯的质量)”可知，作者对当前研究持肯定态度；再根据“That’s not to say the process is perfect yet, though. The resulting graphene material scores highly in terms of quality but is typically composed of a few graphene layers in a disordered way, and the technique could take three to four years to expand for larger use, the researchers note.(不过，这并不是说这个过程已经完美了。研究人员指出，由此产生的石墨烯材料在质量上得分很高，但通常由几层无序排列的石墨烯组成，而且这项技术可能需要三到四年时间才能扩大规模投入更大范围使用)”可知，作者也清楚该研究目前存在的局限。因此，作者对当前研究的态度是积极但也意识到其局限性。故选C项。 D Here on Earth, it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow. But in outer space, critical functions like communication and navigation require even greater clock accuracy down to a billionth of a second — or more. To get the precision needed to fly through the cosmos requires an atomic (原子的) clock. We are sending more spacecraft further into deep space than ever before. But every one of those spacecraft out there depends on its navigation being performed right here on Earth to tell it where it is and, far more importantly, where it is going. In fact, tracking a spacecraft as it travels through deep space is fundamentally a problem of measuring time. Scientists can’t just pull out a ruler and measure how far away the spacecraft is. But they can measure how long it takes a signal to get there and back again. And the concept is exactly the same as an echo. If people stand in front of a mountain and shout, the longer it takes for them to hear the echo back at them, the further away that mountain is. Measuring the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel between Earth and a space probe (航天探测器) is absolutely critical for deep space exploration and can be the difference between a successful mission and a failed mission because getting it wrong by just a tiny fraction of a second might mean the difference between the spacecraft’s safely and gently landing on the surface of another planet and creating yet another crater (坑) on that surface. Just a tiny fraction of a second, and it can be the difference between a mission’s life and death. For this reason, incredibly precise clocks are vital for deep space missions. The only time measuring tool that is equipped for the job is the atomic clock. Not only are they incredibly exact, they are also extraordinarily reliable. And designing and building a precision instrument that can support that is as much art as it is science and engineering. 12. What leads to the need for an atomic clock? A. The use of atomic energy in navigation. B. The necessity of instant communication. C. The functional limitations of a wristwatch. D. The accurateness of measuring time in space. 13. Why does the author give the echo example? A. To explain how scientists locate spacecraft. B. To prove sound travels faster in mountains. C. To show why shouting is useless in deep space. D. To compare space navigation with daily activities. 14. What can be concluded about time measurement from paragraph 3? A. It helps scientists decide what to learn. B. A slight mistake in it could ruin a mission. C. A better technology could make it easier. D. It is used to control the spacecraft’s speed. 15. What will the author probably discuss next? A. Why other clocks fail in space. B. When atomic clocks were invented. C. How atomic clocks are developed. D. Where atomic clocks are used on Earth. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了原子钟在深空探测中的重要性及其必要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But in outer space, critical functions like communication and navigation require even greater clock accuracy down to a billionth of a second — or more. To get the precision needed to fly through the cosmos requires an atomic (原子的) clock.(但在太空中，通信和导航等关键功能需要更高的时钟精度，精确到十亿分之一秒甚至更高。要获得穿越宇宙所需的精度，就需要一个原子钟)”可知，太空探索中对计时精度的高要求，导致了对原子钟的需求。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Scientists can’t just pull out a ruler and measure how far away the spacecraft is. But they can measure how long it takes a signal to get there and back again. And the concept is exactly the same as an echo.(科学家们不能只是拿出一把尺子来测量宇宙飞船有多远。但他们可以测量信号往返所需的时间。这个概念和回声完全一样)”可知，作者举回声的例子是为了解释科学家如何通过测量信号往返时间来定位宇宙飞船。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Measuring the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel between Earth and a space probe (航天探测器) is absolutely critical for deep space exploration and can be the difference between a successful mission and a failed mission because getting it wrong by just a tiny fraction of a second might mean the difference between the spacecraft’s safely and gently landing on the surface of another planet and creating yet another crater (坑) on that surface.(测量信号在地球和航天探测器之间传播所需的时间对于深空探索至关重要，它可能是任务成功与失败的区别，因为仅仅差一小部分秒就可能导致航天器安全、温和地降落在另一个星球的表面，或者在该表面再制造一个坑)”可知，时间测量的微小错误可能会毁掉一项任务。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And designing and building a precision instrument that can support that is as much art as it is science and engineering.(设计和制造一种能够支持这一点的精密仪器既是一门艺术，也是一门科学和工程)”可推知，作者接下来可能会讨论原子钟是如何被开发出来的。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Animals have always had to adapt. ____16____ The rate of species loss is growing, and it’s estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. The World Wide Fund for Nature revealed a 73% decline in the average size of the wildlife populations monitored between 1970 and 2020. Currently, around a third of amphibian (两栖的) species are at risk of extinction. Mass extinction events can also cause animals to evolve as the territories they live in change so quickly. Animals must adapt to survive in new environments where previous wildlife has been eliminated. ____17____ Our ancestors evolved three times faster in the 10 million years following the giant species’ extinction compared to the previous 80 million years. ____18____ After all, those adapting well are far more likely to survive. Many animals use hairless parts of their body to help regulate their body temperature. In the case of wood mice,their tails are becoming longer. Similarly, the ears of elephants are growing. This comes down to simple physical principles: animals can cool off more quickly through larger surface areas. At the same time, animals are becoming smaller, which again helps them to lose heat more quickly because of the greater surface areas to volume. Animals are also becoming lighter in colour. ____19____ Surely, it’s a good thing that animals are adapting? Well, yes and no. Adaptation to meet one challenge can create new challenges. Birds with larger beaks (喙), for example, may find it more difficult to feed. ____20____ The current situation has scientists concerned about the rate at which this “shapeshifting" is happening. A. This may lead to unnecessary food waste. B. Those without this ability have simply been extinct. C. The realistic question is how far an animal can adapt. D. Global warming destroys the homes of many animals. E. Animals change body structures due to climate change. F. For instance, evolution exploded after dinosaurs died out. G. That keeps them cooler and better hidden in sunny places. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍动物为适应环境发生身体结构的改变，同时指出这种适应存在限度并引发科学家担忧。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Animals have always had to adapt.(动物一直都必须适应环境。)”以及后文“The rate of species loss is growing, and it’s estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.(物种灭绝的速度正在加快，据估计比自然灭绝速度高出1000到10000倍。)”可知，前文强调动物需要适应，后文说明物种灭绝情况，B选项“Those without this ability have simply been extinct.(那些没有这种适应能力的动物都已经灭绝了。)”承接前后文，解释了物种灭绝的原因，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Mass extinction events can also cause animals to evolve as the territories they live in change so quickly.(大规模灭绝事件也会导致动物进化，因为它们生存的领地变化太快。)”以及后文“Our ancestors evolved three times faster in the 10 million years following the giant species’ extinction compared to the previous 80 million years. (在巨型物种灭绝后的1000万年里，我们祖先的进化速度比之前的8000万年快了三倍。)”可知，后文以人类祖先为例说明灭绝事件后的进化，F选项“For instance, evolution exploded after dinosaurs died out.(例如，恐龙灭绝后进化速度加快。)”举例印证前文观点，符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的中心句，根据后文“After all, those adapting well are far more likely to survive. Many animals use hairless parts of their body to help regulate their body temperature. In the case of wood mice, their tails are becoming longer. Similarly, the ears of elephants are growing. (毕竟，适应能力强的动物更有可能生存下来。许多动物利用身体无毛的部位来帮助调节体温。以林鼠为例，它们的尾巴变得越来越长。同样，大象的耳朵也在变大。)”可知，本段讲述动物因环境变化改变身体结构，E选项“Animals change body structures due to climate change.(动物因气候变化而改变身体结构。)”能概括本段主题，符合语境。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Animals are also becoming lighter in colour.(动物的颜色也变得越来越浅。)”可知，前文说明动物体色变浅的现象，此空应解释该变化的作用，G选项“That keeps them cooler and better hidden in sunny places.(这能让它们在阳光充足的地方更凉爽，也更容易隐藏。)”说明了体色变浅的好处，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Adaptation to meet one challenge can create new challenges. Birds with larger beaks (喙), for example, may find it more difficult to feed. (为应对一个挑战而进行的适应可能会带来新的挑战。例如，喙更大的鸟类可能会发现进食更加困难。)”以及后文“The current situation has scientists concerned about the rate at which this “shapeshifting” is happening. (目前的情况让科学家担心这种“形态改变”的发生速度。)”可知，前文说明适应带来新问题，C选项“The realistic question is how far an animal can adapt.(现实的问题是动物能适应到什么程度。)”承接前后文，引出科学家的担忧，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用 （共三节，满分35分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Daniel and Martin both work full-time — Daniel as a landscaper, Martin in the chemical industry.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】句意：黄大年在工作岗位上表现出色，为国家做出巨大贡献。空处引导状语从句，从句缺少地点状语，需用连接副词where引导，说明黄大年表现出色的具体方面。 37. ________ (cover) vast distances and an astonishing variety of landscapes, the Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Covering 【解析】 【详解】句意：丝绸之路覆盖广袤地域和种类繁多的地貌，是从东亚一直延伸至地中海的古代贸易路网。此处为非谓语动词作状语，主语the Silk Road与cover为主动关系，用现在分词作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。 38. ________ we can protect the ancient cultural relics well or not depends on the joint efforts of the whole society.

David was excited—his grandmother, Abuela, was good at telling tales. She had the magic to make every story come alive before his eyes. That afternoon, David rushed home excitedly, telling his grandmother about the project. Her eyes lit up. “I have the perfect story to share,” she assured. The next day, she prepared enthusiastically, shopping for fabrics at Petra’s Fabric Place, where everyone knew her as a skilled tailor. She’d started sewing there after moving in, easing her loneliness. She felt like she knew everyone in class including Mrs. Petrovski well because David talked about them all the time. Therefore, she decided to make hand-sewn gifts tailored for each one. Learning that Mrs. Petrovski’s mother, a Russian living in America for many years, would come as well, she would make a lovely traditional Russian hat for her as a special surprise. In the next two days, she rushed to get things done. But on Wednesday, David’s excitement faded when classmates shared their relatives’ dramatic stories: Joseph’s grandfather, a retired policeman, had chased a cat that stole a purse; Ramon’s father, a firefighter, had rescued workers from a factory fire; Marisa’s aunt, a vet (兽医), had saved a mistreated dog. Compared to these exciting tales, David worried his grandmother’s story about sewing would seem boring. He considered pretending to be sick, practicing fake (假的) coughs on his way home. After he tried this excuse at home, he also pointed out that the gifts prepared for the presentation hadn’t been put into the bags yet. Abuela looked thoughtful, telling him how she learnt to sew from her mother during childhood illness. David was speechless. He realized how important sewing was to his grandmother and how she expected to share with others her story about sewing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next morning, he accompanied Abuela to the presentation, bags in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself. Immersed in a surge of regret, he hugged Abuela and extended his sincere apology for being silly, adding that her story would definitely be the best. She patted his back softly, her eyes shining like diamonds. Catching sight of the empty bags lying on the table, he offered to help her pack the hand-sewn treasures carefully. As they worked together, he kept imagining how wonderful her sewing story would be, his heart filled with expectation. Next morning, he accompanied Abuela to the presentation, bags in hand. Eager and curious, the class cheered as each relative shared vivid stories. Soon, it was Abuela’s turn. With a soft smile, she handed out the hand-sewn gifts to their receivers with the assistance of David, and told how sewing, which was learnt during childhood illness, accompanied her through the ups and downs of life. Eyes wide with amazement, everyone admired the gifts, soft murmurs of praise rippling through the room. When she finished, thunderous applause echoed. David felt his chest swell with pride as he saw Abuela’s bright smile, and he knew that her story had touched the class more than any other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了大卫在学校接到一个故事分享项目任务，需要带一位亲戚来分享故事并录像。大卫原本很兴奋，因为他的祖母Abuela擅长讲故事，能将每个故事都生动地呈现在他眼前。然而，当听到同学们分享的亲戚们的惊险故事后，大卫开始担心祖母分享的关于缝纫的故事会显得无聊，甚至一度想假装生病来逃避。但祖母的回忆和期待让他意识到缝纫对祖母的重要性，以及祖母希望与他人分享自己缝纫故事的愿望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在那一刻，他为自己感到羞愧。”可知，第一段可描写大卫内心的转变过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，他陪外婆去参加展示活动，手里提着几个包。”可知，第二段可描写第二天展示活动上的情景。 2.续写线索：道歉——提出帮忙——期待——分发礼物——讲故事——大家鼓掌——大卫感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②分发：hand out/give out ③想象：imagine/picture 情绪类 ①后悔：regret/repentance ②惊奇：amazement/wonder 【点睛】[高分句型1] Immersed in a surge of regret, he hugged Abuela and extended his sincere apology for being silly, adding that her story would definitely be the best.

B The Fahai Temple, located at the southern foot of Cuiwei Mountain in the Shijingshan district of Beijing, houses Ming Dynasty frescoes (壁画) dating back nearly 600 years. Today, a brand-new Fahai Temple Mural Art Center has been built at the foot of the mountain. “By using digital modern technology, valuable digital resources have been created, allowing the inactive frescoes to come to life,” said Liu Xiaobo, the art center’s curator. First built in 1439, the Fahai Temple is known as one of the “three major frescoes in China” together with the frescoes found in Dunhuang and Yongle Palace. “The frescoes depict 77 figures, including ordinary people, Buddhas and bodhisattvas, each with different postures and expressions,” said Liu. With the fall of Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Fahai Temple too came to an abrupt end. However, in recent years, the development of a high-tech industry featuring creativity services and digital technology has given the Shijingshan district government more confidence in the digital display of frescoes. At the exhibition of Fahai Temple Mural Art Center, the original mural paintings are displayed on a 4K HD screen, presenting them at their actual size. Each of the 77 figures is portrayed with thorough attention to detail using 3D modeling at the pixel (像素) level. The facial details of Water-moon Avalokitesvara, one of the most representative figures on the frescoes of Fahai Temple, are hard to make out in dim conditions. However, after using 3D modeling, the figure’s face, which measures over 3 meters tall, can be seen clearly on the 4K HD screen at the mural hall of the art center. “Through technological means, we can zoom in on them to show specific details and introduce the content of the frescoes item by item, offering the audience ample time to understand the frescoes,” Liu explained. 4. What can we know about the Fahai Temple frescoes? A. They were built during the Qing Dynasty. B. They are among China’s three major frescoes. C. There are altogether 77 Buddhas in the frescoes. D.

Application of digital technology to ancient frescoes. C Graphene (石墨烯) is based on carbon and is often described as a wonder material: it’s super strong, super light, and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It’s already widely used and promises to significantly improve consumer electronics in the future. However, producing graphene on a large scale remains difficult and expensive, which has led researchers to explore alternative methods. Led by a team from the University of New South Wales, the new research shows that the peanut shell has the potential to boost graphene production, and in a way that’s cheaper and more eco-friendly than some traditional graphene making methods. Worldwide peanut production results in more than 10 million tons of waste piling up each year. Key to the process is the natural material called lignin (木质素), which is packed with carbon. It was already known to be present in peanut shells, but the researchers had to figure out the best way to process it. The researchers first prepared the peanut shells through a controlled heating process to remove unwanted substances. They then applied a technique known as flash heating, which uses electricity to raise the temperature to over 3,000°C within milliseconds. This rapid heating rearranges the structures of peanut shells. “That process is vital to give us the best carbon-rich material to help ensure there are few imperfections in the final graphene and that it is indeed just a single layer,” says Yeoh. Although the peanut-shell-to-graphene line has been experimented with before, this study highlights how carefully controlling the starting material can significantly improve the resulting graphene quality. That’s not to say the process is perfect yet, though. The resulting graphene material scores highly in terms of quality but is typically composed of a few graphene layers in a disordered way, and the technique could take three to four years to expand for larger use, the researchers note. Work to further refine the process from this lab-based proof of concept will continue, and researchers are now exploring whether similar methods could be applied to other materials such as coffee grounds or banana peels. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how graphene is produced. B. To compare graphene with other materials. C. To describe the history of graphene research. D. To introduce graphene’s function and limitation. 9. What makes peanut shells suitable for graphene production? A. Their light weight nature. B. Their carbon content. C. Their health-friendly feature. D. Their large yearly output. 10. What is the function of the flash heating? A. Structuring. B. Removing. C. Cleaning. D. Packing. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the current research? A. Uninterested in its practical use. B. Doubtful about its future value. C. Positive but aware of its limitations. D. Completely satisfied with its results. D Here on Earth, it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow. But in outer space, critical functions like communication and navigation require even greater clock accuracy down to a billionth of a second — or more. To get the precision needed to fly through the cosmos requires an atomic (原子的) clock. We are sending more spacecraft further into deep space than ever before. But every one of those spacecraft out there depends on its navigation being performed right here on Earth to tell it where it is and, far more importantly, where it is going. In fact, tracking a spacecraft as it travels through deep space is fundamentally a problem of measuring time. Scientists can’t just pull out a ruler and measure how far away the spacecraft is. But they can measure how long it takes a signal to get there and back again. And the concept is exactly the same as an echo. If people stand in front of a mountain and shout, the longer it takes for them to hear the echo back at them, the further away that mountain is. Measuring the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel between Earth and a space probe (航天探测器) is absolutely critical for deep space exploration and can be the difference between a successful mission and a failed mission because getting it wrong by just a tiny fraction of a second might mean the difference between the spacecraft’s safely and gently landing on the surface of another planet and creating yet another crater (坑) on that surface. Just a tiny fraction of a second, and it can be the difference between a mission’s life and death. For this reason, incredibly precise clocks are vital for deep space missions. The only time measuring tool that is equipped for the job is the atomic clock. Not only are they incredibly exact, they are also extraordinarily reliable. And designing and building a precision instrument that can support that is as much art as it is science and engineering. 12. What leads to the need for an atomic clock? A. The use of atomic energy in navigation. B. The necessity of instant communication. C. The functional limitations of a wristwatch. D. The accurateness of measuring time in space. 13. Why does the author give the echo example? A. To explain how scientists locate spacecraft. B. To prove sound travels faster in mountains. C. To show why shouting is useless in deep space. D. To compare space navigation with daily activities. 14. What can be concluded about time measurement from paragraph 3? A. It helps scientists decide what to learn. B. A slight mistake in it could ruin a mission. C. A better technology could make it easier. D. It is used to control the spacecraft’s speed. 15. What will the author probably discuss next? A. Why other clocks fail in space. B. When atomic clocks were invented. C. How atomic clocks are developed. D. Where atomic clocks are used on Earth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Animals have always had to adapt. ____16____ The rate of species loss is growing, and it’s estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. The World Wide Fund for Nature revealed a 73% decline in the average size of the wildlife populations monitored between 1970 and 2020. Currently, around a third of amphibian (两栖的) species are at risk of extinction. Mass extinction events can also cause animals to evolve as the territories they live in change so quickly. Animals must adapt to survive in new environments where previous wildlife has been eliminated. ____17____ Our ancestors evolved three times faster in the 10 million years following the giant species’ extinction compared to the previous 80 million years. ____18____ After all, those adapting well are far more likely to survive. Many animals use hairless parts of their body to help regulate their body temperature. In the case of wood mice,their tails are becoming longer. Similarly, the ears of elephants are growing. This comes down to simple physical principles: animals can cool off more quickly through larger surface areas. At the same time, animals are becoming smaller, which again helps them to lose heat more quickly because of the greater surface areas to volume. Animals are also becoming lighter in colour. ____19____ Surely, it’s a good thing that animals are adapting? Well, yes and no. Adaptation to meet one challenge can create new challenges. Birds with larger beaks (喙), for example, may find it more difficult to feed. ____20____ The current situation has scientists concerned about the rate at which this “shapeshifting" is happening. A. This may lead to unnecessary food waste. B. Those without this ability have simply been extinct. C. The realistic question is how far an animal can adapt. D. Global warming destroys the homes of many animals. E. Animals change body structures due to climate change. F. For instance, evolution exploded after dinosaurs died out. G. That keeps them cooler and better hidden in sunny places. 第三部分 语言运用 （共三节，满分35分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Daniel and Martin both work full-time — Daniel as a landscaper, Martin in the chemical industry.

David was excited—his grandmother, Abuela, was good at telling tales. She had the magic to make every story come alive before his eyes. That afternoon, David rushed home excitedly, telling his grandmother about the project. Her eyes lit up. “I have the perfect story to share,” she assured. The next day, she prepared enthusiastically, shopping for fabrics at Petra’s Fabric Place, where everyone knew her as a skilled tailor. She’d started sewing there after moving in, easing her loneliness. She felt like she knew everyone in class including Mrs. Petrovski well because David talked about them all the time. Therefore, she decided to make hand-sewn gifts tailored for each one. Learning that Mrs. Petrovski’s mother, a Russian living in America for many years, would come as well, she would make a lovely traditional Russian hat for her as a special surprise. In the next two days, she rushed to get things done. But on Wednesday, David’s excitement faded when classmates shared their relatives’ dramatic stories: Joseph’s grandfather, a retired policeman, had chased a cat that stole a purse; Ramon’s father, a firefighter, had rescued workers from a factory fire; Marisa’s aunt, a vet (兽医), had saved a mistreated dog. Compared to these exciting tales, David worried his grandmother’s story about sewing would seem boring. He considered pretending to be sick, practicing fake (假的) coughs on his way home. After he tried this excuse at home, he also pointed out that the gifts prepared for the presentation hadn’t been put into the bags yet. Abuela looked thoughtful, telling him how she learnt to sew from her mother during childhood illness. David was speechless. He realized how important sewing was to his grandmother and how she expected to share with others her story about sewing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next morning, he accompanied Abuela to the presentation, bags in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
