Schnitzer had taken the name"Emin Pasha,"in an attempt to be better received by those he was living among.Pasha was cataloging a host of recently-discovered plant and animal life forms when fighting broke out in the Sudan.Pasha withdrew to Equatoria,at about the same time the Emin Pasha Relief Committee was formed.In addition to the chief goal of bringing Pasha home,Stanley was also under orders from the King of Belgium to open up some new trade routes in the area. The roundabout route the Committee ended up taking meant that by the time they finally found Pasha many members of the expedition were dead.Those that did survive were worn,ill, and starving by the time they found Pasha who,in comparison,was well-dressed,clean, and-by some accounts-smoking a three-year-old cigar when they finally found him.He was in need of some support and supplies,but he had neither intent nor desire to leave the area. Arguments arose,causing a firm hatred between Stanley and Pasha. Stanley finally convinced Pasha to leave with the remains of the expedition,setting off on a demanding trip back through Africa.They finally met up with some German explorers,and made it back to the port town of Bagamoyo in 1889. During the party they threw to celebrate their return to civilization,Pasha fell off a balcony and broke his skull.Stanley returned to Europe to receive commendations and congratulations, while Pasha slowly recovered from his unwanted rescue. 24.Why did Eduard Schnitzer choose the name"Emin Pasha"? A.To carry out his plant research secretly. 高三年级英语科试卷第4页共11页 B.To hide his identity as a German zoologist. C.To gain support from the Relief Committee. D.To better fit in with local people around him. 25.What is the most ironic(thing about Stanley's last rescue expedition? A.Pasha had no willingness to be rescued at all. B.Stanley failed to develop expected new trade routes. C.Stanley got badly injured at the welcome celebration. D.Many expedition members lost their lives on the way. 26.Why does the author mention Pasha's falling off a balcony? A.To explain why Pasha refused to leave Africa. B.To show Pasha's poor physical and mental state C.To create an ironic ending to the whole rescue story. D.To prove the celebration party was poorly organized. 27.What does"commendations"mean in the last paragraph? A.Formal criticism.B.Public praise.C.Sincere apology.D.Careful consideration. C The U.S.food stamp program was launched at a time when the nation was facing a tragic paradox ()As millions of Americans suffered from hunger during the Great Depression, the country's farmers found themselves with a glut(供过于求)of crops and livestock. This prompted the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation(FSCC),a New Deal agency to be established in 1933,which purchase excess food and distribute it directly to the needy at little or no cost.This initiative,however,dampened (business for grocers and food wholesalers,who complained of government interference and unfair competition in the marketplace. In the morning of May 16,1939,FSCC officials watched anxiously as they opened their doors to launch the country's latest relief measure.The first person in line approached a cashier window,a machinist who had been out of work for nearly a year,handed a clerk $4 from his latest unemployment check and received $4 of orange stamps in return as well as S2 of blue stamps for free. The orange "food stamps"could be exchanged at any of the 1,200 participating Rochester groceries for any goods on the shelves,while blue stamps could only be used to buy surplus agricultural items such as butter,eggs,prunes,flour,oranges,cornmeal and beans.Grocers could exchange the food stamps for money at commercial banks and FSCC offices. Food stamp recipients approved of the new program,which gave them greater choice in what to eat,beyond just the surplus items being handed out by the government."Now we'll get the best in food,"one woman told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle."We can take our pick on these surplus commodities instead of taking what they give us." Building on the initial success,the food stamp program was rolled out to additional pilot cities and expanded to half the counties in the United States.The program fed 20 million 高三年级英语科试卷第5页共11页 Americans until it was discontinued in 1943 when the economic stimulus provided by World War II eased unemployment and crop surpluses. 28.Which group was the food stamp program designed to support originally? A.Machinists.B.Government officials.C.Farmers.D.Food wholesalers. 29.What are Paragraph 1 and 2 mainly about? A.The origin of FSCC. B.The cruelty of the war. C.The definition of food stamps. D.The background of the food stamp program. 30.Why did the 1939 food stamp program use two different colors of stamps? A.To limit how much food a family could buy. B.To make sure people only bought healthy food. C.To help the government save money on printing. D.To help people choose food and farmers sell extra goods. 31.According to the woman,what was one good thing about the new stamp program? A.It gave people more money than before. B.It provided more surplus food than before. C.It allowed people to sell the stamps for cash. D.It gave people more say in what food they could get. D Pictures of the bird called the red siskin appear on Venezuela's money,on products and in school books.But the small song bird is disappearing from the wild.It has become the victim of shrinking forests and poachers who want to sell their bright red feathers. That threat has brought together an international team.The team includes scientists from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.and coffee farmers in Venezuela's mountains. They hope to save the bird.The plan is to have farmers plant organic coffee plants.Such coffee plants are covered with branches which make good nesting places for the birds."They don't have many years left,unless we do something right now,"said Miguel Arvelo. Planting organic coffee crops with branches stops farmers from increasing production by thinning their coffee crops to let more sun onto their fields.Farmers who meet the project's rules will win the right to sell their beans with "Bird Friendly"labels.They will be able to set prices for such"high quality"products that can be five times higher than legal prices set by the socialist government. At the same time,a red siskin breeding center is being built at a private zoo in Venezuela. There,200 birds are expected to be born next year.This number will be added to the 25 siskins at the Smithsonian Institution. Protection under Venezuelan law has not stopped poachers from catching the birds to sell on an illegal international market.Poor Venezuelan families often catch and sell the birds.The money they receive can feed their children for months,said biologist Jhonathan Miranda,a 高三年级英语科试卷第6页共11页 Provita researcher. Michael Braun is co-founder of the Red Siskin Initiative.He said Venezuela's economic crisis has hurt the project.Researchers and scientists have been robbed or shot by Venezuela's growing poor population.It is difficult to get people to work on the project,Braun said. Scientists keep the places where the birds are known to live a secret to protect them from poachers.They permitted the Associated Press to photograph a small number of birds at one of those secret places. 32.What makes the red siskin endangered? A.Food shortage.B.Climate change.C.Illegal hunting.D.Environmental pollution. 33.What is the main purpose of involving coffee farmers in the project? A.To increase coffee production for export. B.To reduce the price of organic coffee beans. C.To provide nesting habitats for the red siskin. D.To compete with the socialist government's pricing. 34.What is the main function of the red siskin breeding center? A.To treat sick birds. B.To train birds for release. C.To increase the bird population. D.To replace the Smithsonian's collection. 35.Why does the author mention that scientists keep the birds'locations secret? A.To show the weakness of legal protection B.To explain why the breeding center is necessary. C.To prove that the birds no longer exist in the wild. D.To suggest that farmers already know the locations. 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。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 I know that facing uncertainty at work can be stressful,particularly in the current economic climate.While I don't know the particulars of your situation,36 Start by demonstrating your skills and value to your company.This may mean volunteering for tasks that others don't want to do.37Provide regular progress updates on the financial impact directly related to your work.And share your accomplishments with your directors.They may not be aware of all that you've done.

This is exactly what audiences experienced at a recent concert in Shanghai,featuring 56 unique collaboration between Wu Man and American jazz artist Jon Jang. The performance blended ancient Chinese melodies with modern jazz rhythms,creating a sound that was both familiar and completely new.Unlike traditional concerts 57 each instrument follows its own rules,this fusion allowed both 58(music)to improvise freely,responding to each other's musical phrases in real time. "It's like a conversation 59 different languages suddenly understanding each other," saidLi Wei,a college student who attended the show. The collaboration required months ofpreparation, as the two artists had to find a common ground between two very different musicalsystems. The concert has since gone viral on Chinese social media,60 (gain)millions of views. Many young people expressed that this cross-cultural experiment made them 61 (appreciate)their own musical heritage more.Greatly 62 (encourage),the two artists plan to record an album together next year. Although some purists argue that such fusion risks "watering down"traditional art forms, Wu Man 63 (agree)."Culture is alive,"she said in an interview."It grows when it 64(expose)to something different.We are not replacing tradition;we are giving it new voices."In China,young artists are 65(increase)blending Chinese elements with global styles-from hip-hop to fashion. 高三年级英语科试卷第9页共11页 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你所在的学校上周组织了一次“走进美丽乡村”社会实践活动。请你为校 英文报写一篇新闻报道，内容包括： (1)活动内容： (2)你的感想。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Journey to a Beautiful Village 第二节（满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Dale Tingle,a 54-year-old grandmother from Georgia,received a letter one day.It was written in English,but the writer was not a native speaker.The letter said:"I am 20 years old.I don't know whether you know me.By now,you have become one of the most important people in my life.Without you I wouldn't be alive anymore.I had already given up hope.And now I am wondering:what do you tell someone who has saved your life?" The letter came from a young man named Kevin Kruger,who lived 4,500 miles away in Germany.A few years earlier,Kevin had been diagnosed with leukemia.He was only 19.The treatment was aggressive,and his weight dropped from 176 pounds to 88.His father was dying of brain cancer,and his mother had to care for both him and his two younger sisters.Kevin smiled and told jokes to lift his mother's spirits,but inside,he was losing hope.Doctors told him his only chance was a stem cell transplant.None of his family members matched.Neither did 3,000 people who tested at two registration events. Then,a match was found.Halfway across the world,in Georgia,Dale Tingle had registered at a stem cell drive two years earlier,hoping to help a local three-year-old boy.She wasn't a match for that boy,but she turned out to be a perfect match for Kevin.Without hesitation,she agreed to donate.After the donation,she and her family prayed for the stranger,whom she secretly called"Rocky"-a fighter who never gave up. 高三年级英语科试卷第10页共11页 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Now,months later,Kevin's letter had finally arrived.Dale's hands trembled as she read his words.

It was an impressive experience. During the activity, students visited modern farmhouses, tried fruit picking, and learned traditional handicrafts from villagers. They actively took part in the hands-on work and enjoyed the close contact with nature and local culture. The activity not only broadened students’ horizons but also deepened their understanding of rural development. More such activities are needed. The more, the better. 读后续写：【参考范文】 Now, months later, Kevin’s letter had finally arrived. Dale’s hands trembled as she read his words. Tears blurred her vision, but she smiled through them. “Without you I wouldn’t be alive anymore,” she whispered, reading the line again. She had prayed for this stranger whom she secretly called “Rocky” — a fighter who never gave up. Now, here was his proof of life. Without hesitation, she sat down at her kitchen table and began to write back. “Dear Kevin,” she wrote, “you are not alone. I have been praying for you every day. You don’t need to thank me. Just live. That is the greatest gift you can give me.” She also wrote about her family, the creek behind her house, and her faith. Weeks later, a second letter arrived — this time from Kevin’s mother, who began with the words: “Dear rescuer of my son.” Years later, Kevin flew to Georgia to meet Dale for the first time. At the Atlanta airport, Dale spotted a tall young man walking toward her. She burst into tears. Kevin wrapped her in a tight hug, and they stood there holding each other for a long moment. “I’ve waited so long for this,” he whispered. During his ten-day visit, Kevin did not ask to see any famous sights. He wanted only to stay with Dale and her family — chatting on the porch, playing in the creek with her grandchildren, and attending church with them. “Without you,” he told her one evening, “I wouldn’t be alive anymore.” Dale hugged him again. “And without you,” she said, “I wouldn’t know how much one person can truly change another’s world. You are my gift, too.” 听力材料 (Text 1) 【原文】M: Jennifer, are you going to the library? W: No. I’m going to the cinema near our school. A famous French movie will be on there this afternoon.

M: How can I say no to that? (Text 10) W: Good evening. I’m your old friend Lisa Brown, Tonight, I’d like to tell you about a new site for tourists in the northern Philippines. A long-lasting drought has caused water in a dam there to disappear. As a result, the ruins of a centuries-old town showed up. The dried-up dam has exposed the foundations of some old buildings. This new-found site immediately drew the attention of the locals. Residents like Aurea Delos Santos, a retired nurse, express excitement at the site. It has become an attraction for them and foreign tourists. Therefore, it serves as an additional source of income in an area relying on agriculture. Some locals, like the fisherman Nelson Dellera, have taken the opportunity to profit by taking tourists to the site. The old town had been moved somewhere else in the 1970s during the dam’s construction. The dam now plays an important role in providing water to the region. So the appearance of the site has also caused some concerns. Locals hope the dam will be filled with water again. That’s all for tonight’s program. Thank you for your listening. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
