B When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not. This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products. Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America. Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.” 4. Which of the following statements is true? A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow. B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry. C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food. D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019. 5. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______. A. The shortage of funding. B. The theft of ticket income. C. The opposition from white people. D. The absence of the government’s support. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa? A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Passionate and cautious. C. Conservative and sensitive. D. Humorous and warm-hearted. 7. What message does the text convey? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. From humble beginnings come great things. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America. This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.” This is the story of our times — the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting (分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families. Although the far-reaching consequences are dramatic, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force — result from that fragmentation. We’ve left behind the nuclear-family model of 1955. For most people it’s not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when the y fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables. 8. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The scene of warm old-day family gatherings. B. The comparison between past and present life. C. The description of modern family celebrations. D. The experiences of Barry Levinson’s adulthood. 9. What does the underlined word “brittle” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strong and close. B. Stiff and complex. C. Flexible and adaptable. D. Fragile and easily broken. 10. What do we know about the nuclear family? A. It gradually falls apart with time. B. It has been replaced by extended families. C. It has grown more stable over time. D. It helps to broaden our family relationships. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Nuclear Family is Ideal B. The Nuclear Family is a Mistake C. The Extended Family is a Hit D. The Extended Family is Outdated D A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts. Scientists have previously estimated that almost half of the world’s vegetation is driven primarily by how much rain falls in a year. Less well understood is the role of day-to-day variability, said lead author Andrew Feldman, an ecosystem scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The team analyzed two decades of field and satellite observations spanning diverse lands cap es from Siberia to the southern tip of Patagonia. They found that plants across 42% of Earth’s vegetated land surface were sensitive to daily rainfall variability. Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts. In contrast, broadleaf forests and rainforests in lower and middle latitudes (纬 度) tended to grew worse under those conditions, possibly because they could not tolerate the longer dry periods. Statistically, daily rainfall variability was nearly as important as annual rainfall totals in driving growth worldwide. The new study relied primarily on a suite of NASA missions and datasets, which provides rai n and snowfall rates for most of the planet every 30 minutes using a network of international satellites. To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health. They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants give off during photosynthesis (光合作用), when a plant absorbs sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. This faint light is an obvious sign of flourishing vegetation. Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said. 12. What is the main focus of the NASA-led study in the article? A. The global distribution of rainfall in a given year. B. The role of satellites in monitoring rainfall and vegetation. C. The impact of daily rainfall variability on vegetation growth. D. The relationship between rainfall totals and vegetation growth. 13. What is the relationship between rainfall variability and plant growth? A. All types of vegetation respond similarly to rainfall patterns. B. Lower latitudes rainforests grew better after longer dry periods. C. Drier landscapes benefit from fewer but more intense rain events. D. Rainfall variability shows a relatively weaker influence on plant growth. 14. Which method did researchers use to measure plant responses to rainfall variability? A. Conducting field experiments in specific locations. B. Monitoring rainfall totals using a network of satellites. C. Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants. D. Analyzing satellite imagery for vegetation density and health. 15. What is Feldman’s attitude toward the findings of this study? A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 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。 The shape of Australia’s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments(入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools. Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option? ____16____ One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools. New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools. ____17____ According to Independent Schools Australia, the largest growth in enrollments is in schools charging fees of around A$5,0 00 per year. ____18____ New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.” Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”. ____19____ The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system. Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations. ____20____ Independent schools enroll increasing proportions of students from the most advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. A. What account for this shift? B. How should we deal with this shift? C. They are those from disadvantaged backgrounds. D. That makes them more accessible to middle-income families. E. Parents will naturally choose what they perceive to be the best school. F. This means different types of schools have students from different backgrounds. G. In some cases, state governments are slow to build new public schools in suburbs. 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。 “Smooth sailing never made a skilled sailor.” When I think of the toughest moments of my life, many have turned out to be ____21____ in disguise.

The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 武汉十一中高一下学期四月月考英语试卷 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段话仅读一遍。 1.

They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians (非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that, although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting off Black ideas do not. This is significant considering how wide Brazil’s racial wealth gap is, even as officials have down played the existence of racism (种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products. Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America. Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.” 4. Which of the following statements is true? A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow. B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry. C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food. D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019. 5. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except ______. A. The shortage of funding. B. The theft of ticket income. C. The opposition from white people. D. The absence of the government’s support. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa? A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Passionate and cautious. C. Conservative and sensitive. D. Humorous and warm-hearted. 7. What message does the text convey? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. From humble beginnings come great things. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过讲述了Adriana Barbosa的成长经历和她创办的Feira Preta Festival（黑人文化节）及其后续发展，展现了她在面对家庭经济困难和种族财富差距等挑战时，如何坚持并努力推动黑人文化的发展和庆祝。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money.(当Adriana Barbosa还是个孩子的时候，她的家庭正在努力支付房租，她会卖掉祖母做的食物来筹集资金。)”可知，Adriana Barbosa通过卖食物来帮助她的家人。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000 visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说，一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但Barbosa决心让这一切继续下去；该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客，已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一)”可知，在组织Feira Preta节时，Barbosa面临着许多挑战，有资金短缺，盗窃票务收入和白人的反对，没有提到缺少政府的支持。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’s films to the Black Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture.(斯派克·李的电影到黑豹党的激进主义，Barbosa总是对一切都感到兴奋。20多岁时，她创立了创立了Feira Preta Festival，既是为了帮助支付账单，也是为了庆祝黑人文化。)”可知，是Barbosa创立了Feira Preta Festival，说明她是有创造力的；以及倒数第二段“Which isn’t to say it hasn’t had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood block ed the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. But Barbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.(这并不是说它没有遇到过挑战。资金一直是个问题。她说，一个白人社区阻止这个节日在街道上举行。一些门票收入被盗。但巴博萨决心让这一切继续下去；该节日多年来吸引了20多万游客，已成为拉丁美洲最大的黑人文化活动之一。)”可知，在举办节日期间，遇到很多困难，但是她坚持了下去，所以是意志坚强的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’s a big social organization that has created a market f or Black people.”(Barbosa说：“这始于支付房租的一个小动作。“今天，它是一个大型社会组织，为黑人创造了一个市场。”)”和全文内容可知，文章讲述了Barbosa从小行动开始，最终成就了一个大的社会组织的经历，表明了“伟大的事情源于卑微的开始”。故选C项。 C The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America. This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.” This is the story of our times — the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting (分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families. Although the far-reaching consequences are dramatic, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force — result from that fragmentation. We’ve left behind the nuclear-family model of 1955. For most people it’s not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when the y fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables. 8. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The scene of warm old-day family gatherings. B. The comparison between past and present life. C. The description of modern family celebrations. D. The experiences of Barry Levinson’s adulthood. 9. What does the underlined word “brittle” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strong and close. B. Stiff and complex. C. Flexible and adaptable. D. Fragile and easily broken. 10. What do we know about the nuclear family? A. It gradually falls apart with time. B. It has been replaced by extended families. C. It has grown more stable over time. D. It helps to broaden our family relationships. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Nuclear Family is Ideal B. The Nuclear Family is a Mistake C. The Extended Family is a Hit D. The Extended Family is Outdated 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了家庭结构的变化，从过去的大家庭聚集到现在的小家庭模式，以及这种变化带来的社会影响，并呼吁找回大家庭的温暖。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a make shift stretch of family tables — siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America.(这个场景是我们许多人在家族历史中某个地方都经历过的：几十个人围着临时拼凑的家庭餐桌庆祝感恩节或其他节日——兄弟姐妹、表兄弟姐妹、叔叔阿姨、姑姑们。‘这是你一生中见过的最美丽的地方，’一个人回忆起他刚到美国的第一天时说道。)”和第二段“This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson’s 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories... Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families’ stories.”(这个特别的家庭出现在巴里·莱文森1990年的电影《阿瓦隆》中，这部电影基于他在巴尔的摩的童年生活。‘在我的童年时代，’莱文森告诉我，‘你会围在祖父母身边，他们会讲述家族的故事……现在，人们围着电视，看着其他家庭的故事’。)”可知，前两段主要谈论了往日温馨的家庭聚会的场景。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词后文的内容“In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.(在社会的许多领域，核心家庭分裂成单亲家庭，单亲家庭分裂成混乱的家庭或没有家庭。)”可知，后文提到核心家庭的分裂，因此可推知此处划线词与D项“Fragile and easily broken(易碎的，很容易破裂)”意思相近，因为核心家庭很脆弱，所以分裂还在继续。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn’t seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.(这种分裂的最初结果，即核心家庭，看起来并不那么糟糕。但随后，由于核心家庭如此脆弱，分裂继续。在社会的许多领域，核心家庭分裂成单亲家庭，单亲家庭分裂成混乱的家庭或没有家庭。)”可知，核心家庭随着时间的推移逐渐瓦解。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了家庭结构的变化，从过去的大家庭聚集到现在的小家庭模式，即核心家庭，以及这种变化带来的社会影响，如教育、心理健康、成瘾和劳动力质量等问题，并呼吁找回大家庭的温暖。根据最后一段“It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.(是时候想办法找回大餐桌了。)”可知，作者认为核心家庭模式存在问题，应该回归大家庭模式，即认为核心家庭是一个错误。由此可知，B项“核心家庭是一个错误”适合做本文最佳标题。故选B项。 D A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts. Scientists have previously estimated that almost half of the world’s vegetation is driven primarily by how much rain falls in a year. Less well understood is the role of day-to-day variability, said lead author Andrew Feldman, an ecosystem scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The team analyzed two decades of field and satellite observations spanning diverse lands cap es from Siberia to the southern tip of Patagonia. They found that plants across 42% of Earth’s vegetated land surface were sensitive to daily rainfall variability. Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts. In contrast, broadleaf forests and rainforests in lower and middle latitudes (纬 度) tended to grew worse under those conditions, possibly because they could not tolerate the longer dry periods. Statistically, daily rainfall variability was nearly as important as annual rainfall totals in driving growth worldwide. The new study relied primarily on a suite of NASA missions and datasets, which provides rai n and snowfall rates for most of the planet every 30 minutes using a network of international satellites. To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health. They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants give off during photosynthesis (光合作用), when a plant absorbs sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. This faint light is an obvious sign of flourishing vegetation. Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said. 12. What is the main focus of the NASA-led study in the article? A. The global distribution of rainfall in a given year. B. The role of satellites in monitoring rainfall and vegetation. C. The impact of daily rainfall variability on vegetation growth. D. The relationship between rainfall totals and vegetation growth. 13. What is the relationship between rainfall variability and plant growth? A. All types of vegetation respond similarly to rainfall patterns. B. Lower latitudes rainforests grew better after longer dry periods. C. Drier landscapes benefit from fewer but more intense rain events. D. Rainfall variability shows a relatively weaker influence on plant growth. 14. Which method did researchers use to measure plant responses to rainfall variability? A. Conducting field experiments in specific locations. B. Monitoring rainfall totals using a network of satellites. C. Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants. D. Analyzing satellite imagery for vegetation density and health. 15. What is Feldman’s attitude toward the findings of this study? A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国宇航局领导的一项新研究发现，某一年的降雨方式对世界植被的影响几乎和降雨量一样重要，并且强调了这项研究的重要性和意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world’s vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec.11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts. (美国宇航局领导的一项新研究发现，某一年的降雨方式对世界植被的影响几乎和降雨量一样重要。研究人员在12月11日的《自然》杂志上报道，即使在降雨总量相似的年份，当降雨量减少、降雨量增加时，植物的生长也会有所不同。)”可知，美国宇航局领导的研究的主要关注点是每日降雨量变化对植被生长的影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts.(其中，有一半以上的植物在雨天较少但强度较大的年份生长得更好。这些包括草原、农田和沙漠等干燥景观。)”可知，较干燥的景观得益于较少但更强烈的降雨事件。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health.(为了测量植物的日常反应，研究人员计算了一片区域在卫星图像上看起来有多绿。“绿色”通常用于估计植被密度和健康状况。)”可知，研究人员通过分析卫星图像中的植被密度和健康状况来测量植物对降雨量变化的反应。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon around Earth — a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,” Feld man said.(Feldman说，这些发现凸显了植物在地球碳循环过程中所发挥的重要作用。Feldman说：“更好地了解植物如何在日常、风暴中茁壮成长或衰落，可以帮助我们更好地了解它们在这个关键周期中的作用。”)”可推知，Feldman说明了这项发现所发挥的重要作用，因此对这项研究的结果持肯定的态度。故选B。 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。 The shape of Australia’s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments(入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools. Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option? ____16____ One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools. New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools. ____17____ According to Independent Schools Australia, the largest growth in enrollments is in schools charging fees of around A$5,0 00 per year. ____18____ New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.” Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”. ____19____ The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system. Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations. ____20____ Independent schools enroll increasing proportions of students from the most advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. A. What account for this shift? B. How should we deal with this shift? C. They are those from disadvantaged backgrounds. D. That makes them more accessible to middle-income families. E. Parents will naturally choose what they perceive to be the best school. F. This means different types of schools have students from different backgrounds. G. In some cases, state governments are slow to build new public schools in suburbs. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚独立学校的入学人数超过公立学校的入学人数的原因。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option?(为什么更多的家庭选择独立学校，而不是免费的公立学校呢？)”和空后“One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia.(一个原因可能是政策的变化，允许在澳大利亚建立新的独立学校。)”可知，空前提出问题，为什么更多的家庭选择独立学校，空后提出了其中一个可能的原因，故A项“什么导致了这种转变呢？”符合，在此处承上启下，A项中的that shift指代前文的“更多的家庭选择独立学校”，引出后文的具体原因，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools.(新的独立学校往往比老牌精英学校的收费更低。)”可知，独立学校比老牌精英学校收费低，D项“这使得中收入家庭更能支付。”是空前的顺义承接，因此，中收入家庭更能支付，从而导致更多的家庭选择独立学校，D项中的“them”指代空前的“New independent schools”，故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据空后“New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.”(新南威尔士州教育部长Prue Car曾谈到她儿子的这个问题，他就读于一所独立的小学：“我们住在一个政府没有建学校的郊区。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了教育部长的儿子就读独立学校的原因是他们住在一个政府没有建学校的郊区，故G项“在某些情况下，州政府在郊区建设新公立学校的速度较慢。”符合，总结后文内容，说明越来越多的家庭选择独立学校的另一个原因是因为州政府在郊区建设新公立学校的速度较慢，故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of “socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”.(与其他国家相比，澳大利亚的学校具有较高的社会经济隔离水平。)”和空后“The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.(去付费私立学校的学生人数的增加意味着我们的学校系统中的隔离现象越来越严重。)”可知，空前提到了澳大利亚学校社会经济隔离水平较高，空后提出了去私立学校的人数增加导致这种隔离现象越来越严重，故F项“这意味着不同学校的学生来自不同的背景。”符合，澳大利亚学校具有较高的社会经济隔离水平，就意味着不同学校的学生来自不同的背景，去私立学校的人更多也就意味着这种隔离现象越来越严重，故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations.(公立学校继续教育偏远地区的大多数儿童。)”可知，空前提到公立学校教育的是偏远地区的儿童，故C项“他们都是背景不太优越的孩子。”符合，C项中的“They”指代前文的“the majority of children in remote locations”，公立学校教育的是偏远地区的儿童，他们都是背景不太优越的孩子，故选C项。 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。 “Smooth sailing never made a skilled sailor.” When I think of the toughest moments of my life, many have turned out to be ____21____ in disguise. The most severe one was being pretty much kicked out of my Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia in 2016, after I ____22____ all my jobs in California, even sacrificing my intern license (实习医生执照). The program in Georgia turned out to not be the right ____23____for me despite my best efforts. I mainly went because they offered to ____24____ my tuition, but I didn’t examine the program carefully enough. The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, anxiety, insecurity, fear and exclusion. I was in therapy myself for most of the year to cope, and the only thing that made it ____25____ was a lot of support from my family and friends. I was utterly ____26____ when I went back home; it felt like my ____27____ was over.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文用作者读博的亲身经历阐释：艰难挫折往往是伪装的好运。作者辞去加州工作赴佐治亚读博却被迫退学，一度陷入消沉；转学圣地亚哥后事业顺利发展，佐治亚的求学积累也助力个人成长。作者感悟当下的祸福，日后可能走向对立面。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我回想起生命中最艰难的时刻，很多结果都是伪装下的祝福。A. innovations创新；B. motivations动机；C. blessings祝福，幸事；D. challenges挑战。根据下文​“one of the best things that ever happened to me”以及“Fate loves irony”可知，这些艰难时刻最终被证明是“好事/祝福”。blessings in disguise是固定短语，意为“伪装的祝福，因祸得福”。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：最严重的一次是在2016年，我在加州辞掉了所有工作，甚至牺牲了我的实习医生执照，之后几乎是被佐治亚大学的博士项目赶了出来。A. took接受，拿；B. quit辞去，退出；C. completed完成；D. considered考虑。根据下文“sacrificing my intern license (实习医生执照)”可知，作者为去佐治亚大学付出了巨大代价，因此是“辞掉了”在加州的所有工作。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：尽管我尽了最大努力，佐治亚的这个项目结果证明并不适合我。A. fit适合（的人或物）；B. time时间；C. tip建议，小费；D. example例子。根据上文‌“being pretty much kicked out of my Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia”可知， 作者被博士项目劝退，说明该项目和自身不合适。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我主要去那里是因为他们提出要负担我的学费，但我没有足够仔细地考察这个项目。A. contain包含；B. charge收费，要价；C. fill填满；D. cover支付，覆盖。根据上文“I mainly went because they offered to”以及下文“my tuition”可知，学校在经济上提供了支持，这是做者选择这里的原因之一。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我大部分时间都在接受心理治疗来应对，唯一让这件事变得可以忍受的是家人和朋友的许多支持。A. familiar熟悉的；B. tolerable可忍受的，可容忍的；C. splendid辉煌的，极好的；D. flexible灵活的。根据上文​“The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, anxiety, insecurity, fear and exclusion.”可知，那段时间非常艰难，家人的支持只是让处境“变得可以忍受”，并未使其变好。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我回到家时，我彻底萎靡消沉；感觉我的职业生涯结束了。A. relaxed放松的；B. depressed沮丧的，抑郁的；C. confident自信的；D. calm平静的。根据上文​“ being pretty much kicked out of my Ph.D.”以及“The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, anxiety, insecurity, fear and exclusion.”可知，被博士项目劝退、常年被焦虑折磨，所以回家后内心极度低落消沉。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意同上。A. trip旅行；B. degree学位；C. position职位；D. career职业，事业。根据上文“​being pretty much kicked out of my Ph.D.”可知，这直接打击了他的“职业生涯”发展。 【28题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，快进到今天，我可以看到被赶出佐治亚项目是发生在我身上最好的事情之一。A. otherwise否则；B. therefore因此；C. instead反而；D. however然而。根据下文“I can see that getting driven out of the Georgia program was one of the best things that ever happened to me.”可知，前文描述被劝退时的痛苦和绝望，本句说这是“最好的事之一”，语义发生强烈转折，需要用表示转折的副词however。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：我永远感谢我所有的教授，是他们让我看到了我当时没能看到的东西：我在合适的项目中会绽放光彩。A. shake摇动；B. stop停止；C. flower繁荣，兴旺；D. wander徘徊，游荡。根据下文“I began to succeed and now my business and career are doing exceptionally well”可知，在合适的项目中，作者“取得成功、蓬勃发展”。flower 在此比喻“茁壮成长、取得成功”。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：2017年，当我转学到圣地亚哥的一个博士项目时，我开始取得成功，现在我的生意和事业都异常顺利。A. transferred转学，转移；B. appealed上诉，吸引；C. referred参考，提及；D. led领导，导致。根据上文​离开佐治亚项目和下文“to a doctoral program in San Diego”可知，作者是“转学”到另一个项目。 【31题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：回顾过去，我深深地感激我最终留在了圣地亚哥，也很高兴我没有留在佐治亚。A. wound up最终处于，以……告终；B. turned up出现，调高；C. gave up放弃；D. stayed up熬夜。根据上文“to a doctoral program in San Diego, I began to succeed and now my business and career are doing exceptionally well.”以及下文“I didn’t stay in Georgia”可知，作者在圣地亚哥的事业非常顺利，所以作者最终在圣地亚哥定居，而没有留在佐治亚。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：具有讽刺意味的是，佐治亚大学的研究和写作训练帮助我提高了我的学术、专业和个人写作能力。A. expected期望；B. forbade禁止；C. helped帮助；D. warned警告。根据下文“develop my academic, professional, and personal writing”这一积极结果可知，佐治亚的经历对他有“帮助”。 【33题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：简而言之，我在佐治亚很努力，而且努力得到了回报；我经历的学习和成长是无与伦比的。A. came about发生；B. faded away逐渐消失；C. paid off取得成功，得到回报；D. settled down安顿下来。根据上文“I worked hard in Georgia”和下文“the learning and growth I experienced”可知，努力最终“得到了回报”。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意同上。A. ordinary普通的；B. unparalleled无与伦比的，无比的；C. awful糟糕的；D. casual随意的。根据上文“​I began to succeed and now my business and career are doing exceptionally well.”可知，虽然过程艰难，但收获巨大，因此是“无与伦比的”。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：正如我的个人例子所展示的，生活完全像过山车；现在看起来是好是坏的消息，未来可能变成相反的情况。A. opposite相反的；B. unknown未知的；C. best最好的；D. natural自然的。根据全文主旨​ 和作者自身的经历，在佐治亚被劝退在当时是“坏消息”，但后来证明是通往成功的契机，这体现了事物的“相反”面。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The British Museum is delighted to announce that the Trustees of the Sir Percival David Foundation are gifting their world-famous private collection of Chinese ceramics (陶瓷制品)___36___ the Museum permanently.

The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! It was a piece of cake to me.” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. I carefully connected everything. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. “Done!” I announced confidently. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Soon, people were noticing. My abilities made a difference! Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered joyfully as she packed flowers. Mr. Jackson smiled warmly and handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone moved quickly to keep up with orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. Surprisingly, the roses sold out in half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized competence wasn’t avoiding mistakes, but facing them and making the most of my strengths. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jude因为去年夏天忘记锁门，导致邻居Mr. Jackson的玫瑰损失惨重，内心一直充满愧疚。今年夏天回到奶奶的农场时，他原本以为会受到Mr. Jackson的责备，但没想到Mr. Jackson不仅没有批评他，反而鼓励他，并请求他帮忙解决网上卖玫瑰的技术问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“或许我真的能成为一个有真才实学的人。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定帮助奶奶和杰克逊先生建立网络连接并在社交媒体上销售玫瑰的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“几小时内，玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写订单涌来后大家的忙碌以及作者对能力的重新认识。 2.续写线索：帮助建立网络连接——上传照片并设置价格——订单涌来——大家忙碌——玫瑰售罄——奶奶拥抱并夸奖——重新认识能力 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②上传照片：upload photos/post pictures ③售罄：sell out/be completely sold 情绪类 ①令人惊讶地：surprisingly/amazingly ②高兴地：joyfully/rejoicingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.
