With easy access and a welcoming atmosphere, it is an ideal base for a three-day exploration of California’s natural wonders. Day 1: Sequoia National Park Begin with a hearty breakfast in Visalia before the 45-minute drive to Sequoia National Park. This park is the nation’s second official national park. Upon arrival at Sequoia, follow the 2.7-mile Congress Trail to see the General Sherman Tree. The sequoia is the world’s largest tree by volume. Then continue to the Tunnel Log — a fallen sequoia with a section cut from its trunk in 1938 to let cars pass through. Return toVisalia in the evening to enjoy local craft beer. Day 2: Kings Canyon National Park After a light morning meal, drive about 75 minutes to Kings Canyon National Park. There you’ll find the world’s second-largest tree, the General Grant Tree. It’s a sequoia famous in the nation. Hike the 1.5-mile Zumwalt Meadow Trail before returning to Visalia for a farm-to-fork dinner. Day 3: Explore Visalia Visit Mooney Grove, California’s first county park. It houses a historic statue and a notable collection of Native American baskets from the Yokuts tribe (部落). Spend the afternoon boating on a nearby lake. Downtown Visalia offers excellent dining and shopping. Conclude your trip with a local craft beer before departure. Plan Your Trip Fly to Los Angeles or San Francisco. Then drive about three hours to Visalia. The downtown is walkable. A seasonal shuttle (班车) runs to the parks. 1. Which is a common activity on Day 1 and Day 2? A. Protecting a special tree. B. Admiring a giant sequoia. C. Going through a tree tunnel. D. Having a farm-to-fork dinner. 2. What does Mooney Grove offer to visitors? A. Boating fun. B. Craft guidance. C. Local beer. D. Cultural experience. 3. What does the author intend to do in the last part? A. Suggest the touring season. B. Promote Visalia attractions. C. Provide transportation tips. D. Advertise the shuttle service. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了以维塞利亚为起点，游览红杉国家公园和国王峡谷国家公园的三日行程安排及出行相关建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day 1: Sequoia National Park部分“Upon arrival at Sequoia, follow the 2.7‑mile Congress Trail to see the General Sherman Tree. The sequoia is the world’s largest tree by volume.(抵达红杉国家公园后，沿着2.7英里的国会步道参观谢尔曼将军树。这棵红杉是世界上体积最大的树。)”和Day 2: Kings Canyon National Park部分“There you’ll find the world’s second‑largest tree, the General Grant Tree. It’s a sequoia famous in the nation.(在那里你会发现世界第二大树——格兰特将军树，它是一棵全国闻名的红杉。)”可知，第一天和第二天的共同活动是观赏巨型红杉。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day 3: Explore Visalia部分“Visit Mooney Grove, California’s first county park. It houses a historic statue and a notable collection of Native American baskets from the Yokuts tribe (部落).(参观穆尼格罗夫，加利福尼亚首个县级公园。这里藏有一座历史雕像和一批著名的约库茨部落美洲原住民篮子藏品。)”可知，穆尼格罗夫能为游客提供文化体验。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Plan Your Trip部分“Fly to Los Angeles or San Francisco. Then drive about three hours to Visalia. The downtown is walkable. A seasonal shuttle (班车) runs to the parks.(飞往洛杉矶或旧金山，然后驱车约三小时前往维塞利亚。市中心适合步行，有季节性班车开往公园。)”可知，作者在最后一部分意在提供出行交通方面的建议。 B In June 2020, my husband and I moved home to New Zealand after I quit my job. We settled in with my husband’s parents, and I spent much of my time surfing the Internet. One day a friend posted a photo on social media of a beautiful skirt she’d made. I hadn’t thought about sewing my own clothes, but I needed something to do. My husband’s mum had a sewing machine and generously gifted it to me. Over the next few months, I became a passionate sewist. I created various garments (衣服) and learned more practical skills than I’d had since I was young. My great-grandmothers and grandmothers on both sides sewed clothes for their families. Sewing wasn’t a leisure activity for them; I’m sure they’d be surprised it’s a leisure activity for me. But when I’m sewing, I feel in touch with them. My hands, like theirs, have learned to read fabric and adjust fit. We share this thread (线) of creativity across the centuries. What you wear says something about your taste, your history, your values, where you come from and whose gaze (注视) you’re appealing to. It’s exciting and terrifying to be perceived, and sewing has helped me think more consciously about what kind of self I want to present to the world. I can’t control anyone’s perception of me, but I am convinced I can have my own voice. Sewing implies a belief that there will be an occasion to wear whatever garment you’re making. Fabric historian Sofi Thanhauser once said, “Sewing is an act of investment in a future self, like cooking or gardening.” I sew because it helps me believe in the future and in the person who will wear the new dress.When I’m sewing, I’m really saying I want to see what happens next. 4. What did the post inspire the author to do? A. Start a sewing career. B. Try sewing to kill time. C. Buy a sewing machine. D. Learn sewing on her own. 5. How does sewing change the author’s life? A. It makes her a professional sewist. B. It frees her from negative emotions. C. It offers her family a leisure activity. D. It connects her with her family roots. 6. What does sewing serve as according to paragraph 4? A. A tool to attract others. B. A chance to show values. C. A means of self-expression. D. A way of voicing objections. 7. Why does the author quote the fabric historian? A. To clarify a concept. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To lead to a new topic. D. To confirm her insight. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者受朋友启发开始缝纫，并从中找到自我表达与家族传承的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One day a friend posted a photo on social media of a beautiful skirt she’d made. I hadn’t thought about sewing my own clothes, but I needed something to do. My husband’s mum had a sewing machine and generously gifted it to me.(某天，一位朋友在社交平台晒出自己缝制的漂亮裙子。我此前从未想过亲手做衣服，但当时确实想找点事做。婆婆恰好有一台缝纫机，便大方地赠予了我。)”可知，作者看到朋友发的裙子照片后，因为闲来无事而决定尝试缝纫来打发时间。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But when I’m sewing, I feel in touch with them. My hands, like theirs, have learned to read fabric and adjust fit. We share this thread (线) of creativity across the centuries.(但穿针走线时，我仿佛能与先辈心意相通。我的双手也如同她们一般，学会辨识布料、调整版型，跨越岁月，我们以针线传承着这份创作心意。)”可知，缝纫让作者与家族中曾缝制衣服的先辈们产生了联系，连接了她与家族根源。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It’s exciting and terrifying to be perceived, and sewing has helped me think more consciously about what kind of self I want to present to the world. I can’t control anyone’s perception of me, but I am convinced I can have my own voice.(被外界审视的感觉既让人欣喜又心生忐忑，缝纫也让我开始认真思索，自己想要以何种姿态面对世界。我无法左右他人的看法，却坚信可以活出独有的自我。)”可知，缝纫对作者来说是一种自我表达的方式。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中引用“Fabric historian Sofi Thanhauser once said, “Sewing is an act of investment in a future self, like cooking or gardening.” I sew because it helps me believe in the future and in the person who will wear the new dress. When I’m sewing, I’m really saying I want to see what happens next.(布料历史学家Sofi Thanhauser曾说：“缝纫是为未来的自己倾注心意，如同烹饪与园艺一般。” 我热爱缝纫，这份爱好让我憧憬未来，也期待身着新衣的自己。穿针引线间，实则是满心期盼往后的美好际遇。)”可知，作者引用布料历史学家的话是为了印证自己的观点——缝纫是对未来的投资，帮助她相信未来。 C Conventional wisdom holds that transitioning from oil to plant-based biofuels (生物燃料) carries numerous green advantages. For many people, since such fuels are obtained from agricultural crops, they are naturally renewable. And our own farmers typically produce them domestically, reducing our dependence on unstable foreign sources of oil. Additionally, they cause less pollution than traditional fuels. They also do not have much of contribution of greenhouse gases to the global climate change problem. Despite the upsides, however, experts point out that a total shift from gas to biofuels, given the number of gas-only cars already on the road and the lack of biofuel filling equipment, would take some time. Another major obstacle to widespread adoption of biofuels is the challenge of growing enough crops to meet demand — something doubters say might well require turning just about all of the world’s remaining forests and open spaces into agricultural land. “Replacing only 5 percent of the nation’s diesel (柴油) consumption with biodiesel would require applying approximately 60 percent of today’s soy (大豆) crops to biodiesel production,” says Matthew Brown, an energy consultant and former energy program director at the National Conference of State Legislatures.“That’s bad news for tofu lovers.” Of course, soy is now much more likely to be grown as an industrial product than as a food ingredient! There is no simple, immediate solution to freeing ourselves from traditional fuels and the future will likely see a combination of sources — from wind and ocean currents to hydrogen, solar and, yes, some crops used for biofuels. The “elephant in the living room” that people often pay no attention to when considering energy options, however, is the clear hard reality that we must reduce our consumption, not just replace it with something else. Indeed, conservation is probably the largest single “alternative fuel” available to us. 8. What is the focus of conventional wisdom concerning biofuels? A. Their numerous sources. B. Their domestic production. C. Their environmental benefits. D. Their widespread adoption. 9. What do Matthew Brown’s words imply? A. Soy is more valuable as fuel than as food. B. Biofuel production threatens food supply. C. Biodiesel requires less soy than expected. D. Tofu lovers will reduce their consumption. 10. What does the underlined part “elephant in the living room” in the last paragraph mean? A. An obvious but ignored issue. B. A huge but insignificant object. C. An accessible and valued option. D. A time-consuming and hard task. 11. Which can be the suitable title of the text? A. Biofuels: Not a Quick Fix B. Biofuels: A Promising Future C. The True Cost of Going Green D. The Battle Between Soy and Oil 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍生物燃料的环保优势，分析其推广阻碍，并指出节能才是解决能源问题的关键。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Conventional wisdom holds that transitioning from oil to plant-based biofuels carries numerous green advantages.(传统观点认为，从石油转向植物基生物燃料具有诸多绿色优势)”以及“Additionally, they cause less pollution than traditional fuels. They also do not have much of contribution of greenhouse gases to the global climate change problem.(此外，它们比传统燃料造成的污染更少。它们也不会产生大量加剧全球气候变化的温室气体)”可知，传统观点聚焦生物燃料的环境益处。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Replacing only 5 percent of the nation’s diesel consumption with biodiesel would require applying approximately 60 percent of today’s soy crops to biodiesel production.(仅用生物柴油替换全国5%的柴油消耗，就需要将目前约60%的大豆作物用于生物柴油生产)”可知，生产生物燃料会占用大量粮食作物，威胁粮食供应。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线部分后的定语“people often pay no attention to when considering energy options,(人们在考虑能源选择时常常忽视)”对其进行解释，由此猜测“elephant in the living room”指显而易见却被忽视的问题。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“Despite the upsides, however, experts point out that a total shift from gas to biofuels, given the number of gas-only cars already on the road and the lack of biofuel filling equipment, would take some time.(然而尽管具备诸多优势，专家指出，鉴于现存燃油车辆数量庞大且生物燃料加注设备短缺，全面改用生物燃料尚需时日)”以及最后一段“There is no simple, immediate solution to freeing ourselves from traditional fuels.(摆脱传统燃料并没有简单速效的解决办法)”可知，文章先介绍生物燃料的优点，接着重点阐述其推广耗时、抢占耕地粮食等诸多弊端与局限，说明它并非快速解决能源问题的办法。A选项“生物燃料：不是一个快速的解决方法”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 D In 2010, the whale scientist Iain Kerr traveled to the Gulf of Mexico to study how one of the largest marine oil spills (泄漏) affected whales, but it wasn’t going well. Each time his boat approached a whale surfacing for air, the animal disappeared beneath the waves. As darkness fell, a whale dove in front of Kerr and covered him in the whale blow. That unpleasant experience gave Kerr an idea: What if he could collect that same blow by somehow flying over the whale? Researchers can gather much information from whale blows, including the animal’s DNA information and its sex. After many experiments, Kerr’s idea turned into a drone fitted with six dishes that collect whale blows by flying over the animal as it surfaces and breathes out through its blowhole. Today, drones like this are employed to gather whale blows all over the world, and not just from sperm whales (抹香鲸): They’ re also collecting this scientifically valuable whale blow from blue whales and dolphins. Crucially, drones reduce the need to get close to whales with a boat. This means less disturbance to the animals, and is also safer for scientists. Drones also have significant advantages over planes, which have historically played a large role in collecting whale data. “The rapid advancement of drone technology makes it difficult to predict what marine mammal (哺乳动物) research will look like in the future,” says Stewart, an ecologist from Oregon State University. “It’s hard to imagine what the next amazing thing might be.” While drones are opening up a world of possibilities for whale scientists, there’s still room for improvement. Many drones, especially small ones, have battery limitations. “You can only fly for maybe45 minutes or an hour with a small drone, even if you’ re really lucky,” says Johnston, a marine conservation ecologist. Drone regulations limit the flight range in many countries — in the United States, for example, operators must keep the machines within their line of sight unless they have a special license. 12. What was a barrier to Kerr’s collecting information for research? A. The severe oil spill. B. The whale’s reaction. C. The boat’s appearance. D. The geographic limitation. 13. Why are blue whales and dolphins mentioned? A. To illustrate the function of the drone. B. To present the instructions on the drone. C. To prove the drone’s species adaptability. D. To show the drone’s advantage over planes. 14. In which tone does Stewart make his remark? A. Unsure but positive. B. Curious but conservative. C. Urgent and hopeful. D. Critical and disapproving. 15. What might be a technological upgrade direction for drones? A. Simpler operation. B. Lower battery cost. C. Looser regulation. D. Longer flight duration. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了无人机技术如何革新鲸鱼喷气采集科研方式及其优势与局限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2010, the whale scientist Iain Kerr traveled to the Gulf of Mexico to study how one of the largest marine oil spills (泄漏) affected whales, but it wasn’t going well. Each time his boat approached a whale surfacing for air, the animal disappeared beneath the waves.(2010年，鲸鱼科学家Iain Kerr前往墨西哥湾，研究大规模海上原油泄漏对鲸鱼造成的影响，然而研究进展并不顺利。每当船只靠近浮出水面换气的鲸鱼，它便会潜入水中消失不见。)”可知，Kerr收集研究信息的障碍是鲸鱼对船只的躲避反应。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“After many experiments, Kerr’s idea turned into a drone fitted with six dishes that collect whale blows by flying over the animal as it surfaces and breathes out through its blowhole. Today, drones like this are employed to gather whale blows all over the world, and not just from sperm whales (抹香鲸): They’ re also collecting this scientifically valuable whale blow from blue whales and dolphins.(经过多次试验，Kerr研发出一款搭载六个收集盘的无人机。无人机可在鲸鱼上浮呼吸时飞至其上方，收集喷出的水汽。如今这类无人机已在全球投入使用，采集对象不只是抹香鲸，也包括蓝鲸与海豚，这些水汽都具备极高科研价值。)”可知，提到蓝鲸和海豚是为了证明无人机适用于多种物种，即其物种适应性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““The rapid advancement of drone technology makes it difficult to predict what marine mammal (哺乳动物) research will look like in the future,” says Stewart, an ecologist from Orego n State University. “It’s hard to imagine what the next amazing thing might be.”(俄勒冈州立大学的生态学家Stewart称：“无人机技术飞速发展，海洋哺乳动物未来的研究模式难以预判，无法预想还会出现哪些新奇成果。”)”可知，Stewart对未来感到不确定，但用“amazing thing”表达了积极期待。因此语气是不确定但积极的。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many drones, especially small ones, have battery limitations. “You can only fly for maybe45 minutes or an hour with a small drone, even if you’ re really lucky,” says Johnston, a marine conservation ecologist.(多数无人机，尤其是小型机型，都存在电池续航短板。海洋保护生态学家Johnston表示：“即便运气极好，小型无人机飞行时长也仅能达到四十五分钟到一小时。”)”可知，电池续航是当前主要技术瓶颈，因此技术升级方向应是延长飞行时间。 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。 When I started college, I expected to succeed.

I used to think passion alone would carry me through college, but I’ve learned it takes more than that. ____20____ That’s what helped me stay motivated and start enjoying school again. I’ve learned that changing direction is not failure — it is growth. A. It was a tough but meaningful choice. B. Then, the same issue came back again. C. But my confidence took a hit very soon. D. That was why I considered being a business major. E. Instead of giving up, I started researching other majors. F. It is about finding a path that fits interests and strengths. G. That was when I realized the school and major weren’t the right fit. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】作者入学满怀憧憬，所选专业学习屡屡受挫，两次更换专业。不断摸索后找到适配自身的商科专业，最终明白转行并非失败，找寻契合自身的道路才是成长。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When I started college, I expected to succeed. I thought I would pass my classes, make friends, and enjoy college life. I chose marine science because I loved animals and thought it was the perfect way to turn that passion into a career. I was confident I had made the right choice.(当我进入大学时，我满怀期待地想要取得成功。我期望能够顺利通过课程、结交朋友并享受大学生活。我选择了海洋科学专业，因为我热爱动物，并且认为这是将这份热情转化为职业的理想途径。我坚信自己做出了正确的选择)”可知，第一段讲作者刚入学满怀自信选择海洋科学，后文第二段提到课程学习遇到困难，空处需要转折引出受挫，C选项“但我的自信很快就受到了打击”衔接合理。 【17题详解】 根据上文“I struggled with the classes, especially math and science. Loving animals didn’t make marine science as easy as I had thought. Eventually, I was placed on academic probation (察看).(我在这些课程中遇到了很大的困难，尤其是数学和科学。热爱动物这一点并没有让我觉得海洋科学会像我原本想象的那样简单。最终，我被处以学业警告处分)”以及后文“I started looking into other options, trying to figure out where I could realistically succeed. I came across community college and viewed it as a way to rest without giving up on my education entirely.(我开始考虑其他的选择，试图找出自己能够真正取得成功的途径。我了解到社区学院这一选项，并将其视为一种既能休息放松又能不完全放弃学业的途径)”可知，前文提到课程跟不上最终被留校察看，后文提到作者开始寻找其他选择，G选项“就在那时我意识到这个学校和专业都不适合我”，承接前文的危机，引出后文找新方向的动作。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I decided to transfer to Pasadena City College, a community college. I chose kinesiology (人体运动学) as my new major because I ran cross-country. I thought becoming an athletic trainer could be a great path. I was excited to try something new.(我决定转学到帕萨迪纳市立学院，那是一所社区大学。我选择了人体运动学作为我的新专业，因为我曾参加过越野赛跑。我认为成为一名运动训练师会是一条很好的职业道路。我很期待尝试新的事物)”以及后文“I still could not pass the science and math classes. My motivation dropped again, and I even started wondering if stepping away from school might be the right choice.(但我还是无法通过科学和数学课程的考试。我的积极性再次下降，甚至开始怀疑离开学校是否可能是正确的选择)”可知，前文提到作者转专业到人体运动学，重新燃起兴致，后文提到作者依旧无法通过数理化课程，问题重现，B选项“然后，同样的问题再次出现了”完美衔接。 【19题详解】 根据后文“I considered digital art, but it didn’t feel right. Then I looked into business administration. Classes like business law and marketing interested me. I pictured myself working in sports marketing or running my own business. The classes were still challenging, but they felt more manageable and connected to what I truly cared about. I’m doing better now, passing my classes.(我考虑过数字艺术，但总觉得不太合适。然后我转而研究了工商管理专业。像商业法和市场营销这样的课程吸引了我。我想象自己能从事体育营销工作或者自主创业。这些课程仍然有一定难度，但感觉更容易应对，也更与我真正关心的事情相关联。现在我进步了不少，课程都能通过了)”以及前文提到作者动力下滑，甚至考虑退学，后文提到作者先后考虑数字艺术、工商管理，即重新寻找合适专业，E选项“我没有放弃，反而开始研究其他专业”引出后文的找专业过程。 【20题详解】 根据上文“I used to think passion alone would carry me through college, but I’ve learned it takes more than that.(我过去一直认为仅仅凭借热情就能让我顺利度过大学时光，但我后来明白了，这远远不够)”以及后文“That’s what helped me stay motivated and start enjoying school again. I’ve learned that changing direction is not failure — it is growth.(正是这些经历让我重新找回了动力，并重新享受起学习过程。我明白了改变方向并非失败，而是一种成长)”可知，前文提到作者过去认为只有热情就能完成大学，现在明白不止需要热情，后文提到这帮助自己重获动力，F选项“它（大学学习）是要找到一条符合你兴趣和能力的道路”承接前文的感悟，引出后文的总结。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Dad is the only breadwinner of our family.

I’m afraid we’re going to have to amputate (截肢) your son’s leg,” the doctor explained to Jackie Burns as she fought back tears of desperation. In June 2018, her 10-year-old son Gavin was in a horrific car accident. He had been airlifted by medical helicopter to a local children’s hospital where he underwent several surgeries trying to save his left leg and foot. But nothing had worked. Gavin ultimately had to have his leg amputated from the knee down. After 17 days in the hospital, the boy was finally able to go home. The following year, Gavin did not go to a regular school. Instead, he was taught at home. This was very difficult because he had to handle many things at once. He needed to go to physical therapy (治疗) regularly, visit the doctor, and learn how to use his prosthetic leg (假肢). Later, he had to have another surgery. Life was very hard for him. When he was finally able to go back to school, he still needed help. Besides using his prosthetic leg, he also had to use a wheelchair to get around. He was very worried about fitting in with his classmates again. Other kids could run and jump, but he was not the same. He was afraid people might look at him differently or think he was strange. “You’re still the same Gavin inside even though you may look different from other kids,” Jackie said, hugging him tightly. “You can still do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you!” As the years rolled by, Gavin held on to his mother’s words, and by high school, he had become stronger, more confident and more skilled at using his prosthetic leg. One day, the 17-year-old came into the kitchen with a smile. “Mom, I want to play football.” Jackie froze and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure?” Gavin raised his head with confidence and answered loudly and clearly, “I am. After all, you said I could do anything!” 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。 With his parents’ support, Gavin signed up for the football team and was accepted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day for the football game came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With his parents’ support, Gavin signed up for the football team and was accepted. At first, he was a bit nervous, wondering if he could keep up with the other players who all had two healthy legs. However, his coach, who had seen Gavin’s determination during the tryouts, encouraged him, saying, “You’ve got a strong spirit, Gavin, and that’s what matters most on the field.” Gavin took these words to heart and practiced tirelessly, learning how to balance and run with his prosthetic leg. His teammates, who initially had doubts, soon grew to respect him for his hard work and positive attitude. Finally, the day for the football game came. Gavin’s heart pounded with excitement as he stepped onto the field, his prosthetic leg feeling steady beneath him. The crowd roared as the game began, and Gavin focused on every move, knowing that this was his chance to prove himself. During a crucial play, he intercepted the ball and sprinted towards the goal, his teammates cheering him on. As he scored, the stadium erupted in applause, and Gavin knew that all his efforts had paid off. After the game, his coach hugged him and said, “You’ve shown everyone that nothing can stop you, Gavin.” Gavin smiled, feeling proud of what he had achieved, knowing that his mother’s words had guided him every step of the way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Gavin因车祸截肢，经历诸多困难后重返校园，在母亲鼓励下重拾信心。高中时他已能熟练运用假肢，并最终决定挑战自我，向母亲提出想要踢足球的愿望。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写Gavin在父母支持下加入足球队后的初期经历，包括他的紧张情绪、教练的鼓励以及他如何通过不懈努力赢得队友的尊重。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写Gavin参加足球比赛的过程，他如何抓住机会证明自己，进球后的反应，以及比赛结束后教练的赞扬和Gavin内心的感受，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持与爱能使人克服一切困难，实现梦想。 2.续写线索：加入足球队后的初期经历与努力——足球比赛的过程与表现——进球后的反应与教练的赞扬——内心的感受与主旨升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate/inspire ②冲刺：sprint/dash/rush 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/anxious/uneasy ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】At first, he was a bit nervous, wondering if he could keep up with the other players who all had two healthy legs.

With easy access and a welcoming atmosphere, it is an ideal base for a three-day exploration of California’s natural wonders. Day 1: Sequoia National Park Begin with a hearty breakfast in Visalia before the 45-minute drive to Sequoia National Park. This park is the nation’s second official national park. Upon arrival at Sequoia, follow the 2.7-mile Congress Trail to see the General Sherman Tree. The sequoia is the world’s largest tree by volume.

Day 2: Kings Canyon National Park After a light morning meal, drive about 75 minutes to Kings Canyon National Park. There you’ll find the world’s second-largest tree, the General Grant Tree. It’s a sequoia famous in the nation. Hike the 1.5-mile Zumwalt Meadow Trail before returning to Visalia for a farm-to-fork dinner. Day 3: Explore Visalia Visit Mooney Grove, California’s first county park. It houses a historic statue and a notable collection of Native American baskets from the Yokuts tribe (部落). Spend the afternoon boating on a nearby lake. Downtown Visalia offers excellent dining and shopping. Conclude your trip with a local craft beer before departure.

B In June 2020, my husband and I moved home to New Zealand after I quit my job. We settled in with my husband’s parents, and I spent much of my time surfing the Internet. One day a friend posted a photo on social media of a beautiful skirt she’d made. I hadn’t thought about sewing my own clothes, but I needed something to do. My husband’s mum had a sewing machine and generously gifted it to me. Over the next few months, I became a passionate sewist. I created various garments (衣服) and learned more practical skills than I’d had since I was young. My great-grandmothers and grandmothers on both sides sewed clothes for their families. Sewing wasn’t a leisure activity for them; I’m sure they’d be surprised it’s a leisure activity for me. But when I’m sewing, I feel in touch with them. My hands, like theirs, have learned to read fabric and adjust fit. We share this thread (线) of creativity across the centuries. What you wear says something about your taste, your history, your values, where you come from and whose gaze (注视) you’re appealing to. It’s exciting and terrifying to be perceived, and sewing has helped me think more consciously about what kind of self I want to present to the world. I can’t control anyone’s perception of me, but I am convinced I can have my own voice. Sewing implies a belief that there will be an occasion to wear whatever garment you’re making. Fabric historian Sofi Thanhauser once said, “Sewing is an act of investment in a future self, like cooking or gardening.” I sew because it helps me believe in the future and in the person who will wear the new dress.When I’m sewing, I’m really saying I want to see what happens next. 4. What did the post inspire the author to do? A. Start a sewing career. B. Try sewing to kill time. C. Buy a sewing machine. D. Learn sewing on her own. 5. How does sewing change the author’s life? A. It makes her a professional sewist. B. It frees her from negative emotions. C. It offers her family a leisure activity. D. It connects her with her family roots. 6. What does sewing serve as according to paragraph 4? A. A tool to attract others. B. A chance to show values. C. A means of self-expression. D. A way of voicing objections. 7. Why does the author quote the fabric historian? A. To clarify a concept. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To lead to a new topic. D. To confirm her insight. C Conventional wisdom holds that transitioning from oil to plant-based biofuels (生物燃料) carries numerous green advantages. For many people, since such fuels are obtained from agricultural crops, they are naturally renewable. And our own farmers typically produce them domestically, reducing our dependence on unstable foreign sources of oil. Additionally, they cause less pollution than traditional fuels. They also do not have much of contribution of greenhouse gases to the global climate change problem. Despite the upsides, however, experts point out that a total shift from gas to biofuels, given the number of gas-only cars already on the road and the lack of biofuel filling equipment, would take some time. Another major obstacle to widespread adoption of biofuels is the challenge of growing enough crops to meet demand — something doubters say might well require turning just about all of the world’s remaining forests and open spaces into agricultural land. “Replacing only 5 percent of the nation’s diesel (柴油) consumption with biodiesel would require applying approximately 60 percent of today’s soy (大豆) crops to biodiesel production,” says Matthew Brown, an energy consultant and former energy program director at the National Conference of State Legislatures.“That’s bad news for tofu lovers.” Of course, soy is now much more likely to be grown as an industrial product than as a food ingredient! There is no simple, immediate solution to freeing ourselves from traditional fuels and the future will likely see a combination of sources — from wind and ocean currents to hydrogen, solar and, yes, some crops used for biofuels. The “elephant in the living room” that people often pay no attention to when considering energy options, however, is the clear hard reality that we must reduce our consumption, not just replace it with something else. Indeed, conservation is probably the largest single “alternative fuel” available to us. 8. What is the focus of conventional wisdom concerning biofuels? A. Their numerous sources. B. Their domestic production. C. Their environmental benefits. D. Their widespread adoption. 9. What do Matthew Brown’s words imply? A. Soy is more valuable as fuel than as food. B. Biofuel production threatens food supply. C. Biodiesel requires less soy than expected. D. Tofu lovers will reduce their consumption. 10. What does the underlined part “elephant in the living room” in the last paragraph mean? A. An obvious but ignored issue. B. A huge but insignificant object. C. An accessible and valued option. D. A time-consuming and hard task. 11. Which can be the suitable title of the text? A. Biofuels: Not a Quick Fix B. Biofuels: A Promising Future C. The True Cost of Going Green D. The Battle Between Soy and Oil D In 2010, the whale scientist Iain Kerr traveled to the Gulf of Mexico to study how one of the largest marine oil spills (泄漏) affected whales, but it wasn’t going well. Each time his boat approached a whale surfacing for air, the animal disappeared beneath the waves. As darkness fell, a whale dove in front of Kerr and covered him in the whale blow. That unpleasant experience gave Kerr an idea: What if he could collect that same blow by somehow flying over the whale? Researchers can gather much information from whale blows, including the animal’s DNA information and its sex. After many experiments, Kerr’s idea turned into a drone fitted with six dishes that collect whale blows by flying over the animal as it surfaces and breathes out through its blowhole. Today, drones like this are employed to gather whale blows all over the world, and not just from sperm whales (抹香鲸): They’ re also collecting this scientifically valuable whale blow from blue whales and dolphins. Crucially, drones reduce the need to get close to whales with a boat. This means less disturbance to the animals, and is also safer for scientists. Drones also have significant advantages over planes, which have historically played a large role in collecting whale data. “The rapid advancement of drone technology makes it difficult to predict what marine mammal (哺乳动物) research will look like in the future,” says Stewart, an ecologist from Oregon State University. “It’s hard to imagine what the next amazing thing might be.” While drones are opening up a world of possibilities for whale scientists, there’s still room for improvement. Many drones, especially small ones, have battery limitations. “You can only fly for maybe45 minutes or an hour with a small drone, even if you’ re really lucky,” says Johnston, a marine conservation ecologist. Drone regulations limit the flight range in many countries — in the United States, for example, operators must keep the machines within their line of sight unless they have a special license. 12. What was a barrier to Kerr’s collecting information for research? A. The severe oil spill. B. The whale’s reaction. C. The boat’s appearance. D. The geographic limitation. 13. Why are blue whales and dolphins mentioned? A. To illustrate the function of the drone. B. To present the instructions on the drone. C. To prove the drone’s species adaptability. D. To show the drone’s advantage over planes. 14. In which tone does Stewart make his remark? A. Unsure but positive. B. Curious but conservative. C. Urgent and hopeful. D. Critical and disapproving. 15. What might be a technological upgrade direction for drones? A. Simpler operation. B. Lower battery cost. C. Looser regulation. D. Longer flight duration. 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。 When I started college, I expected to succeed. I thought I would pass my classes, make friends, and enjoy college life. I chose marine science because I loved animals and thought it was the perfect way to turn that passion into a career.

I’m afraid we’re going to have to amputate (截肢) your son’s leg,” the doctor explained to Jackie Burns as she fought back tears of desperation. In June 2018, her 10-year-old son Gavin was in a horrific car accident. He had been airlifted by medical helicopter to a local children’s hospital where he underwent several surgeries trying to save his left leg and foot. But nothing had worked. Gavin ultimately had to have his leg amputated from the knee down. After 17 days in the hospital, the boy was finally able to go home. The following year, Gavin did not go to a regular school. Instead, he was taught at home. This was very difficult because he had to handle many things at once. He needed to go to physical therapy (治疗) regularly, visit the doctor, and learn how to use his prosthetic leg (假肢). Later, he had to have another surgery. Life was very hard for him. When he was finally able to go back to school, he still needed help. Besides using his prosthetic leg, he also had to use a wheelchair to get around. He was very worried about fitting in with his classmates again. Other kids could run and jump, but he was not the same. He was afraid people might look at him differently or think he was strange. “You’re still the same Gavin inside even though you may look different from other kids,” Jackie said, hugging him tightly. “You can still do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you!” As the years rolled by, Gavin held on to his mother’s words, and by high school, he had become stronger, more confident and more skilled at using his prosthetic leg. One day, the 17-year-old came into the kitchen with a smile. “Mom, I want to play football.” Jackie froze and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure?” Gavin raised his head with confidence and answered loudly and clearly, “I am. After all, you said I could do anything!” 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。 With his parents’ support, Gavin signed up for the football team and was accepted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day for the football game came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
