B You might have thought that the world’s longest-serving lifeguard would be found on a sunny beach in California or Australia. But on a rainy British spring day, the Guinness World Records people held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset spot when he was 16, meaning he has been coming to the aid of users of the sandy beaches here for 58 years. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working on the beach, which I love, and you’re helping people. What could be better?” Lewis said friends used to rib (逗弄) him that his colleagues in Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) were half his age. “Now they say they’re a third my age,” he said. But he is still fighting fit. RNLI lifeguards must complete a 400-metre pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25-metre pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim continuously in under 50 seconds. And run 200 metres along the beach in under 40 seconds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasonably easy for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month with no wetsuit. Lewis had ever suffered anxiety and depression. But he believes his training and the time spent on the beach relieved this. He now helps to train young lifeguards. Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out exciting rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.” 4. Why does Lewis consider his job the best? A. It enables him to get an award. B. It matches his interests and values. C. It allows him to work at an old age. D. It wins him the beachgoers’ respect. 5. What is the purpose of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show Lewis’ physical fitness. B. To analyze lifeguards’ safety risks. C. To measure Lewis’ performance. D. To stress the training requirements. 6. What can we learn from Lewis’ words in the last paragraph? A. Good advice sells for nothing. B. It’s never too late to rescue people. C. Prevention is better than cure. D. Actions speak louder than words. 7. Which of the following best describes Lewis? A. Devoted and creative. B. Knowledgeable and brave. C. Kind and determined. D. Emotional and adventurous. C One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled. I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry. Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured(津津有味地吃) at home. I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider. For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.” Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide. 8. Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school? A. She didn’t like her smelly lunch. B. Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti. C. Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her. D. She skipped her lunch to fit in with others. 9. What can we infer about the writer according to the passage? A. She enjoyed the lunchtime at school. B. Her parents are immigrants from India. C. She liked peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwich best. D. She would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking. 10. How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”? A. She threw away her lunch box. B. She asked her teacher to make a rule. C. She ate American food instead of her mom’s Indian cooking. D. She brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates. 11. What does the author want to tell us? A. Food is something to celebrate, not hide. B. Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case. C. Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated. D. The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods. D Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions (碑文), to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic (陶瓷) and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate (估算) the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. And, the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years. When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 12. Which can replace the underlined word “renovate” in paragraph 1？ A. Adopt. B. Recover. C. Collect. D. Translate. 13. Which reason for the ancient inscriptions' being hard to recognize is mentioned? A. The wars in the past. B. The development of industry. C. The objects' being damaged. D. The extinction of language. 14. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Ithaca currently recognizes only English. B. Ithaca has great market development potential. C. Ithaca can completely replace historians in the future. D. Ithaca cannot bring any profit to its development company. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Shortcut to Ancient Inscriptions B. Who Will Be the Historians' Right-Hand Man? C. The Mysterious Contents of Ancient Languages D. AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings 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。 On an Arctic island, an enormous vault（保险库）has been built deep underground. Like any bank vault, it holds treasures. ____16____ This vault holds seeds from food crops around the world. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is in Norway. It is a seed bank, a place to store and protect seeds. More than 800 thousand different seed samples rest here. All are dried and kept in temperature- and moisture-controlled conditions. ____17____ Many nations have their own seed banks, too. One main purpose is to make sure that even if crops fail, there will still be seeds for farmers to plant. ____18____ Loss of diversity can cause problems. That was made clear in Ireland in the 1840s. People grew and ate just one kind of potato, which had no defense when a disease struck. The potato crops failed, and one million people died as a result. Seeds hold information for scientists. ____19____They might grow into plants that can resist pests and disease. They might grow where other plants can't. Even the seeds of an invasive plant like kudzu are saved in seed banks. Perhaps scientists will find out their use someday. A nation commonly has more than one seed bank. Still, a backup plan is a good idea. Floods, fires, war, and other disasters can destroy storehouses of precious seeds. ____20____The seeds come from all over the world, and they belong to everyone, not just one nation. A. But you won't find precious jewels or metals here. B. That's why the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was created. C. Another main purpose of seed banks is to protect diversity. D. The seeds of plants that are no longer farmed may be useful. E. They will still have seeds to plant, crops to grow, and food to eat. F. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is nicknamed the Doomsday Vault. G. This means the air in the vault stays dry and the temperature is always the same. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 We had just completed a unit on heroes, and I had given my kindergarten class a task to ____21____ their favorite hero.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” she shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.”That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, ”she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten­dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs pollock’s Grade Two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess (课间休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.　 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门海沧实验中学2024-2025学年第二学期高一年段 英语科期中考试试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But on a rainy British spring day, the Guinness World Records people held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title. Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset spot when he was 16, meaning he has been coming to the aid of users of the sandy beaches here for 58 years. “It’s the best job in the world,” he said. “You’re working on the beach, which I love, and you’re helping people. What could be better?” Lewis said friends used to rib (逗弄) him that his colleagues in Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) were half his age. “Now they say they’re a third my age,” he said. But he is still fighting fit. RNLI lifeguards must complete a 400-metre pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25-metre pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim continuously in under 50 seconds. And run 200 metres along the beach in under 40 seconds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasonably easy for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month with no wetsuit. Lewis had ever suffered anxiety and depression. But he believes his training and the time spent on the beach relieved this. He now helps to train young lifeguards. Over the years, he has performed hundreds of rescues. He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out exciting rescues. “I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.” 4. Why does Lewis consider his job the best? A. It enables him to get an award. B. It matches his interests and values. C. It allows him to work at an old age. D. It wins him the beachgoers’ respect. 5. What is the purpose of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show Lewis’ physical fitness. B. To analyze lifeguards’ safety risks. C. To measure Lewis’ performance. D. To stress the training requirements. 6. What can we learn from Lewis’ words in the last paragraph? A. Good advice sells for nothing. B. It’s never too late to rescue people. C. Prevention is better than cure. D. Actions speak louder than words. 7. Which of the following best describes Lewis? A. Devoted and creative. B. Knowledgeable and brave. C. Kind and determined. D. Emotional and adventurous. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了经验丰富的救生员Chris Lewis的事迹。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“‘It’s the best job in the world,’ he said. ‘You’re working on the beach, which I love, and you’re helping people. What could be better?’(“这是世界上最好的工作，”他说。“你在海滩上工作，这是我喜欢的，你在帮助别人。还有比这更好的吗?”)”可知，在他看来，这份工作让他在喜欢的地方帮助到别人。由此可推知，他认为自己的这份工作是最棒的是因为这份工作符合他的兴趣和价值观。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“RNLI lifeguards must complete a 400-metre pool swim in under 7.5 minutes. They have to do a 25-metre pool swim underwater and a 25-metre surface swim continuously in under 50 seconds. And run 200 metres along the beach in under 40 seconds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasonably easy for Lewis. All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month with no wetsuit.(RNLI的救生员必须在7.5分钟内游完400米泳池。他们必须在50秒内完成25米的水下游泳和25米的水面游泳。在40秒内沿着海滩跑200米。游泳体能测试对Lewis来说还是相当容易的。整个冬天，他每个月都在不穿潜水服的情况下进行3000米的海水游泳。)”可知，数字是在列举RNLI救生员的体能要求，而之后又讲到这些体能测试的要求对于Lewis来说是相当容易的，并补充冬天里他能做到每个月不穿潜水服的情况下进行3000米海水游泳。由此可推知，列举这些数字其实是为了说明Lewis优秀健康的体能。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段落内容“He says giving advice that prevents people getting into trouble is preferable to carrying out exciting rescues. ‘I would love to go through the whole of summer without having to rescue anybody.’(他说，提供建议以防止人们陷入麻烦比进行令人兴奋的救援更可取。“我希望整个夏天都不用去救任何人。”)”可知，在他看来，比起救援，能够提供建议以防止人们在这里陷入麻烦是更可取的。因此，从他的话里可以推知，在海边最好能做到“预防胜于治疗”或“防患于未然”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset spot when he was 16, meaning he has been coming to the aid of users of the sandy beaches here for 58 years.(现年74岁的Lewis 16岁时就开始在多塞特郡的海滩上工作，这意味着58年来他一直在帮助这里的沙滩使用者。)”可知，58年以来，他一直在沙滩上帮助人们，这说明，他是一个善良的人；而第二段内容“But he is still fighting fit.(但他仍在努力保持健康。)”以及“All winter he has been doing 3,000 metres of sea swimming each month with no wetsuit.(整个冬天，他每个月都在不穿潜水服的情况下进行3000米的海水游泳。)”提到他虽然年纪很大了，仍然在努力保持身体健康，并能做到冬天里每个月不穿潜水服进行3000米海水游泳，这说明他是一个意志坚定的人。故选C项。 C One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled. I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry. Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured(津津有味地吃) at home. I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider. For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.” Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide. 8. Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school? A. She didn’t like her smelly lunch. B. Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti. C. Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her. D. She skipped her lunch to fit in with others. 9. What can we infer about the writer according to the passage? A. She enjoyed the lunchtime at school. B. Her parents are immigrants from India. C. She liked peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwich best. D. She would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking. 10. How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”? A. She threw away her lunch box. B. She asked her teacher to make a rule. C. She ate American food instead of her mom’s Indian cooking. D. She brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates. 11. What does the author want to tell us? A. Food is something to celebrate, not hide. B. Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case. C. Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated. D. The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章从作者亲身经历讲到移民家庭孩子在学校吃自带午餐（印度菜）的困境，然后讲到Satya Singh怎么积极应对午餐时刻，最后指出食物是用来庆祝的，不是用来隐藏的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But feeling embarrassed for having a ‘smelly’ lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.(但我为吃了一顿‘有味道’的午餐而感到尴尬，并想融入其中，我悄悄地合上了午餐盒。那天，我挨饿了)”可知，作者是因为没有吃午餐而挨饿的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(遭遇) what’s known as ‘the lunchbox moment’ at school(我不知道不是我一个人这样。许多移民家庭的孩子在学校会遇到所谓的‘午餐盒时刻’)”可知，作者也是移民家庭的孩子。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it.(第二天，Satya带了足够的扁豆和全班同学分享——他们都很喜欢)”可知，Satya带来了更多的印度菜和同学们分享。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’ s something to celebrate, not hide.(食物是文化、传统、家庭和爱的表达。这是用来庆祝的，而不是用来隐藏的)”可知，文章从作者亲身经历讲到移民家庭孩子在学校吃自带午餐（印度菜）的困境，然后讲到Satya Singh怎么积极应对午餐时刻，最后点题，食物是用来庆祝的，不是用来隐藏的。故选A。 D Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions (碑文), to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic (陶瓷) and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate (估算) the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. And, the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years. When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 12. Which can replace the underlined word “renovate” in paragraph 1？ A. Adopt. B. Recover. C. Collect. D. Translate. 13. Which reason for the ancient inscriptions' being hard to recognize is mentioned? A. The wars in the past. B. The development of industry. C. The objects' being damaged. D. The extinction of language. 14. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Ithaca currently recognizes only English. B. Ithaca has great market development potential. C. Ithaca can completely replace historians in the future. D. Ithaca cannot bring any profit to its development company. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Shortcut to Ancient Inscriptions B. Who Will Be the Historians' Right-Hand Man? C. The Mysterious Contents of Ancient Languages D. AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员开发的一款人工智能系统，它可以帮助历史学家修复作品和找出它们的写作时间和地点。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后句“the writings(作品)”以及“and identify when and where they were written (并找出它们的写作时间和地点)”可知，研究人员开发的人工智能(AI)系统来帮助历史学家恢复文字和并找出它们的写作时间和地点。划线处和B项：recovery(恢复，复苏)含义相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand (但在许多情况下，包含这些铭文的物品在几个世纪中已经被损坏了，这使得铭文的主要部分丢失，难以识别和理解)”可知，物品被损坏导致这些古文很难辨认。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. (DeepMind已经推出了一个基于该系统的免费交互式工具，供研究人员、教育工作者、博物馆工作人员和公众使用)”可推知，Ithaca有很大的市场发展潜力。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written.(研究人员开发了一种人工智能(AI)系统，以帮助历史学家恢复文字，并确定它们的写作时间和地点)”以及后文对人工智能(AI)系统可以帮助历史学家解决碰到的困难等作用和用途的介绍，可知D项：AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings(人工智能用于填补古文中的缺词)合乎题意。故选D。 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。 On an Arctic island, an enormous vault（保险库）has been built deep underground. Like any bank vault, it holds treasures. ____16____ This vault holds seeds from food crops around the world. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is in Norway. It is a seed bank, a place to store and protect seeds. More than 800 thousand different seed samples rest here. All are dried and kept in temperature- and moisture-controlled conditions. ____17____ Many nations have their own seed banks, too. One main purpose is to make sure that even if crops fail, there will still be seeds for farmers to plant. ____18____ Loss of diversity can cause problems. That was made clear in Ireland in the 1840s. People grew and ate just one kind of potato, which had no defense when a disease struck. The potato crops failed, and one million people died as a result. Seeds hold information for scientists. ____19____They might grow into plants that can resist pests and disease. They might grow where other plants can't. Even the seeds of an invasive plant like kudzu are saved in seed banks. Perhaps scientists will find out their use someday. A nation commonly has more than one seed bank. Still, a backup plan is a good idea. Floods, fires, war, and other disasters can destroy storehouses of precious seeds. ____20____The seeds come from all over the world, and they belong to everyone, not just one nation. A. But you won't find precious jewels or metals here. B. That's why the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was created. C. Another main purpose of seed banks is to protect diversity. D. The seeds of plants that are no longer farmed may be useful. E. They will still have seeds to plant, crops to grow, and food to eat. F. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is nicknamed the Doomsday Vault. G. This means the air in the vault stays dry and the temperature is always the same. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. C 19. D 20.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” she shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.”That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, ”she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten­dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs pollock’s Grade Two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess (课间休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.　 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, and then she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car. Paragraph 2: Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realised the truth that one who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在圣诞节前夕，从姐姐那里得知没有圣诞老人存在的“真相”后，感到困惑并逃向奶奶寻求答案。奶奶坚决否认了这一谣言，并鼓励作者去做一件有意义的事情——用她给的十美元去为需要帮助的人买礼物。作者选择了去镇上的综合商店，为同班同学Bobby Decker买了一件红色的外套，因为他没有外套穿，冬天从不出去课间休息。通过这个经历，作者不仅传递了温暖和关爱，也体会到了给予的快乐和圣诞节的真正意义。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，奶奶帮我用圣诞包装纸把外套包了起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和奶奶包装外套的尾声以及给Bobby Decker送外套的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我和奶奶屏息等待着Bobby Decker家的前门打开，门终于开了。”可知，第二段可描写Bobby Decker收到外套后的反应，以及这件事后作者的内心活动，作者为自己的所作所为感到非常自豪，决定永远做圣诞老人的帮手。 2.续写线索：送外套——放下礼物——Bobby惊讶——感谢圣诞老人——感到开心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意：notice/spot ②决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ③意识到：realise/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/amazed ②以……自豪：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, and then she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers.（运用了现在分词作状语，省略that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. （运用了what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
