Now, let's take a look at some of the world's worst buildings. The Torre Velasca The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation(代表) of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts. The Mirador Building The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect(建筑师)Blanca Lleó.The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground. The Prague TV Tower The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn't fit in. The Longaberger Basket Company The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio(USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It's got seven floors and two handles(把手)at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it's certainly one of the most unusual. 1. According to the text, the Torre Velasca________. A. was created by Blanca Lleó B. is similar to a Lombard castle C. has a history of over 100 years D. is taller than the Prague TV Tower 2. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building? A. B. C. D. 3. When the Prague TV tower was put up，many people________. A. thought little of it B. liked it very much C. felt that it might fall down easily D. thought that it was totally useless 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了位于不同国家的四幢奇特的建筑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由The Torre Velasca一节中的Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle可知，Torre Velasca塔楼与Lombard城堡很相似，故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由The Mirador Building一节中的There is a large rectangular hole in the upper part of it可知B项为正确答案。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由The Prague TV Tower一节中的when the tower was put up...many felt it didn't fit in可知，当时人们对该电视塔并不看好，故选A项。 B More than £5,500 has been raised after a plea last Monday by a vet Dr. Scott Miller. Scott said, “I would like to say a massive thank-you to express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been destroyed since the fire began in September. On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to leave the area as fires on the suburb threatened to spread. And so far, a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas. Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated, while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight. According to Scott, who has appeared on ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter, the mother is showing "great signs of improvement" and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery on his eye and is "recovering from the anesthetic and doing well". But the mother remains dehydrated so isn't producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they're being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother. Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Even more sadly, patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries. 4. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. Dr. Scott donated more than £5,500. B. Residents were asked to return to Canberra. C. A large area of Britain has been destroyed. D. Numerous animals may have lost their lives. 5. What did Dr. Scott do in his homeland? A. He worked hard in a field hospital on the island. B. He tried to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island. C. He hosted the ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter. D. He carefully looked after the mother and the baby koalas. 6. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Separately. B. Seriously. C. Successfully. D. Sympathetically. 7. What's the best title of the passage? A. An unexpected fire B. Generous donation C. Koalas' recovery D. Koala rescue 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了兽医Scott Miller在澳大利亚森林大火中积极救助考拉的事迹，介绍了他救助一对考拉母子的经过以及它们的恢复情况。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And so far, a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas.(到目前为止，大约有十亿只动物死亡，其中包括两万五千只考拉。)”可推知，大量动物可能因为火灾失去了生命。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide.(上周，Scott讲述了他如何回到自己的家乡，帮助拯救阿德莱德海岸外的袋鼠岛上的野生动物)”可知，Scott在自己的家乡试图拯救袋鼠岛上的野生动物。故选B。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“At the moment they're being housed”（目前它们被......安置）以及后文“but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.”可知 but 表示转折，说明考拉婴儿和母亲是被分别收养的，等婴儿稍微强壮一点后，有希望将其送回母亲身边。由此推知，画线词意思为“分别地，各自地”。A. Separately.分别地；B. Seriously.严肃地；C. Successfully.成功地；D. Sympathetically.富有同情地。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“More than £5,500 has been raised after a plea last Monday by a vet Dr. Scott Miller. Scott said, ‘I would like to say a massive thank-you to express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.’(兽医Scott Miller上周一提出请求后，目前已筹集到5500多英镑。Scott说：“我想代表我自己，代表澳大利亚，代表考拉们，向广大的读者表示衷心的感谢。令人惊讶的是，世界各地的人们都能看到这场灾难的严重性。我非常感谢大家的支持和慷慨解囊。”)”结合下文讲述兽医Scott Miller在澳大利亚森林大火中积极救助考拉的事迹，以及他救助一对考拉母子的经过以及它们的恢复情况，可知D项“考拉营救行动”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C Conservation activities are one of the most effective ways to preserve the planet and the lives that inhabit it. Whether they’re aimed at saving the oceans, restoring trees, or saving animals, conservation activities are critical to preserving the planet’s beauty. On the other hand, conservation attempts occasionally fall short. And in some circumstances, it’s too little or too late. Red wolves, for example, used to be so rare that they only lived in one state in the United States, with only 14 remaining in the wild in the 1970s. It’s quite incredible for us due to a once celebrated population as being the most active reintroduction effort in the United States, laying the groundwork for Yellowstone’s highly praised grey wolf rewilding mission. However, when Heather Clarkson, who works for the conservation organization Defenders of Wildlife began working on the project in 2016, the situation was not good. “The red wolf scheme has almost crumbled because I’ve been living here, and I have been witnessing the whole change. It is quite miserable that it took over 20 years to get the initiative to a strong point. But now it comes in vain.” The district court for the eastern district of North Carolina ruled (作出裁决) in January that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which had abandoned the red wolf reintroduction program, would restore red wolves’ release into the wild. The USFWS submitted a revised proposal to the judge earlier this month, and he has allowed the plaintiffs (原告) two weeks to file any objections. Despite argument about whether the red wolf is a different species, a subspecies, or a half-blood animal, most scientists now consider it to be a distinct species. Red wolves are smaller than their grey relatives, and feed mainly on smaller animals, including raccoons, mice, and rabbits. They are the world’s most endangered wolf breed, after being widespread in the eastern and south-central United States until the early 1900s, extending from New York to Louisiana and as far west as Texas. Their habitat has been degraded as a result of increased urban expansion, which has occupied their breeding and hunting grounds. However, today’s main challenge is a battle with landowners, which has resulted in red wolves’ being hunted and destroyed. 8. What’s the author’s argument in the text? A. Conservation activities are useless. B. Conservation activities are not enough. C. It’s a big project to conserve lives on earth. D. It’s impossible to conserve some endangered species. 9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Broken down B. Worked out. C. Started. D. Succeeded. 10. What did the district court require USFWS to do? A. Give the red wolf freedom. B. Submit the objections in two weeks. C. Protect red wolves’ relatives at the same time. D. Abandon the red wolf reintroduction program. 11. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5? A. Provide some useful suggestions for readers. B. Give examples to support the above paragraphs. C. Add some background information about red wolves. D. Introduce the potential challenges of protecting red wolves. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章以红狼保护失败为例，说明保护行动有时力度不足、为时已晚，且面临多重阻碍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“On the other hand, conservation attempts occasionally fall short. And in some circumstances, it’s too little or too late.(另一方面，保护尝试偶尔会达不到预期。并且在某些情况下，保护行动要么力度太小，要么为时已晚)”可知，作者的观点是保护活动往往并不充足。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But now it comes in vain.(但是如今一切都付诸东流)”可知，红狼保护计划已经失败，因此猜测划线词所在句子“The red wolf scheme has almost crumbled”意为“红狼保护计划几乎已经崩溃”，即crumbled意为“崩溃”，与break down同义。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The district court for the eastern district of North Carolina ruled (作出裁决) in January that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which had abandoned the red wolf reintroduction program, would restore red wolves’ release into the wild.(北卡罗来纳州东区地区法院在一月作出裁决，已经放弃红狼野放计划的美国鱼类及野生动物管理局，需要恢复红狼野外放归工作)”可知，法院要求该局重新将红狼放归野外，也就是给予红狼野外生存的自由。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Red wolves are smaller than their grey relatives, and feed mainly on smaller animals, including raccoons, mice, and rabbits. They are the world’s most endangered wolf breed, after being widespread in the eastern and south-central United States until the early 1900s, extending from New York to Louisiana and as far west as Texas.(红狼比它们的近亲灰狼体型更小，主要以小型动物为食，包括浣熊、老鼠和兔子。它们是全球最濒危的狼类品种。在20世纪初之前，它们曾广泛分布于美国东部和中南部，分布范围从纽约延伸至路易斯安那州，最西到达得克萨斯州)”可知，本段介绍红狼物种界定、体型食性、历史分布，目的是补充与红狼相关的背景信息。 D In the late 1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective. Skyscraper (摩天大楼) construction exploded across the US after the turn of the 20th century. In New York, the record for the world’s tallest building was broken six times between 1908 and 1931. The development of steel frames made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The invention of the elevator, meanwhile, made inhabiting higher floors far more convenient. Though similar from the outside, today’s skyscrapers look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture’s next major technological shift: the curtain wall. After the developments in manufacturing, glass was produced quickly and uniformly, and glazed (装有玻璃的) windows soon became the choice for skyscrapers. Glazed windows have many advantages. In addition to allowing for greater floor space and letting natural light come in more easily, glass is much more flexible. The usage of glass could also help buildings stand greater wind as well as huge swinging caused by earthquakes and typhoons. “The role of skyscrapers has two parts,” explains Simon Chan, an experienced architect. “Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, but they also need places for people to live and work in dense urban settings.” he adds. A prime example is Hong Kong — one of the world’s most expensive property markets. Land there is very limited, and going high is almost the only solution. But there comes along the next big challenge. The buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world’s energy consumption, and contribute to almost 40% of greenhouse gas emissions; there are new costs to consider. Glass skyscrapers, for example, will probably revolutionize the look of our skylines, adding beauty to our city. However, they rely on energy-intensive air conditioning to address trapped heat and the lack of air flow. Whether it’s employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural ventilation (通风) or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the frontier for skyscraper architects. There should be many new developments in skyscraper design and technology with the aim of making skyscrapers something that saves energy. 12. What does the author mainly focus on in Paragraph 1? A. Equipment for skyscrapers. B. Development history of skyscrapers. C. Factors contributing to the rise of skyscrapers. D. The introduction to the world’s tallest skyscrapers. 13. From what aspect are today’s skyscrapers different from the former ones? A. Their height. B. Their outside look. C. Their main functions. D. Their building materials. 14. What’s the main purpose of building skyscrapers in Hong Kong? A. To save the construction cost. B. To handle the shortage of land. C. To promote the property market. D. To show the place’s particular culture. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the glass skyscrapers? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Pessimistic. D. Unknown. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍摩天大楼兴起原因、建筑变革、建造目的及当下低碳改造的发展方向。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the late 1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective. Skyscraper (摩天大楼) construction exploded across the US after the turn of the 20th century. In New York, the record for the world’s tallest building was broken six times between 1908 and 1931. The development of steel frames made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The invention of the elevator, meanwhile, made inhabiting higher floors far more convenient.(19世纪后期，工业化推动了城市人口和土地价格的上涨，使高层建筑变得越来越经济实惠。20世纪初之后，美国各地的摩天大楼建设迅速发展。在纽约，1908年至1931年间，世界最高建筑纪录被打破六次。钢框架的发展使得建造高楼变得更加容易且成本更低。与此同时，电梯的发明也大大提高了居住在高楼层的便利性。)”可知，第一段罗列工业化、钢架结构、电梯等，让摩天大楼兴起的原因。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Though similar from the outside, today’s skyscrapers look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture’s next major technological shift: the curtain wall. After the developments in manufacturing, glass was produced quickly and uniformly, and glazed (装有玻璃的) windows soon became the choice for skyscrapers.(尽管外观相似，如今的摩天大楼与20世纪上半叶建造的建筑已大不相同。这主要归功于建筑领域下一次重大的技术变革：幕墙。随着制造业的发展，玻璃得以快速且均匀地生产，玻璃窗很快成为摩天大楼的首选材料。)”可知，新旧摩天大楼差异体现在建筑材料。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A prime example is Hong Kong — one of the world’s most expensive property markets. Land there is very limited, and going high is almost the only solution.(典型例子是香港，全球房价最高的地区之一。当地土地资源十分有限，向高空发展几乎是唯一解决办法)”可知，香港修建摩天大楼是为了解决土地短缺问题。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Glass skyscrapers, for example, will probably revolutionize the look of our skylines, adding beauty to our city. However, they rely on energy-intensive air conditioning...(例如玻璃摩天大楼或将彻底改变城市天际线、美化城市。但它们依赖高能耗空调调节室内热量)”可知，作者既陈述玻璃大楼优点，也点明弊端，立场客观中立。 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。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置。 For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. ____16____ It wasn’t that I disliked others; keeping to myself just seemed easier. Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up. ____17____ Without warning, the power went out. The building fell into complete darkness. I sat alone in my apartment, the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead. The silence was familiar. Yet this time, it seemed different. Less comforting. More exposed. A soft knock broke the stillness. It was my neighbour from 3B, someone I recognised but hardly knew. She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled. ____18____ People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation. I listened more than I spoke. The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour. ____19____ I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离). When the lights finally returned, the hallway looked the same, but it felt different. I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space. ____20____ It’s about knowing when to let them in. Now, when I step into the elevator, I don’t automatically lower my eyes. Sometimes, I look up. A. After a moment, I stepped outside. B. I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation. C. I began to question my decision to join the conversation. D. Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well. E. As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen. F. But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out. G. That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者长期刻意疏远身边邻居，一场暴风雨停电的经历，让其打破隔阂，领悟到成熟并非封闭自我。 【16题详解】 上文“For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. (多年来，我与周围的人保持着谨慎的距离。住在繁华的城市公寓里，我学会安静穿行于公共区域)”讲述作者刻意与人保持距离，B选项“I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation. (我避免眼神交流和多余交谈)”承接上文，具体说明作者疏远他人的表现，语境连贯。 【17题详解】 上文“Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up.(独立对我来说很重要，不需要任何人感觉像是成年人的一部分)”说明作者的想法，下文“Without warning, the power went out. (毫无征兆地，停电了)”引出突发意外事件，G选项“That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city. (一晚暴风雨席卷城市，我的固有想法受到了挑战)”起到承上启下的作用，引出停电变故。 【18题详解】 上文“She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled.(她拿着蜡烛，提到有几个居民聚集在走廊里，并邀请我加入他们。我犹豫了一下。独自待着感觉很安全，但有些事情让人感到不安)”说明邻居手持蜡烛邀请作者去走廊相聚，作者内心犹豫纠结，A选项“After a moment, I stepped outside. (片刻之后，我走了出去)”承接情节发展，体现作者最终接受邀请。 【19题详解】 上文“People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation.(人们坐在地板上，共享毯子、茶和安静的谈话)”以及“The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour.(我曾经认为不友好的那个人原来是一个幽默感很强的退休医生)”描写邻里相聚、相处融洽，作者看到了邻居不一样的一面，E选项“As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen. (夜色渐深，我长久以来的固有观念开始动摇)”衔接场景，引出作者内心的思想转变。 【20题详解】 上文“I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space.(我并没有突然变得外向，也没有放弃对空间的需求)”说明作者没有变得外向，也没有放弃独处需求，F选项“But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out. (但我有了新的领悟：成熟并非隔绝他人)”转折升华主旨，契合全文感悟。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。 Zhu Caiping, 73, started suffering mild cognitive impairment (认知障碍) three years ago.

All she had dreamed of for months was a bicycle of her very own — a red one, swift as the wind. When she dashed downstairs and saw the large, ribbon-topped box waiting, her heart soared. Inside gleamed the most perfect bike she could imagine. “It’s magnificent!” she cried, giving it a test spin around the kitchen tiles. She named it “Comet (彗星)” on the spot. That very afternoon, the school carnival was buzzing with noise and music. Mulan rode Comet proudly alongside her best friends, Lily and Chloe. When Lily spotted a stand selling personalized bike license plates (牌照), the idea was irresistible. “We have to get matching ones!” she exclaimed. The three girls hurried over, their coins clutched tightly. Lily and Chloe found their names in an instant among the neat rows of letters. But Mulan scanned the display again and again. ADAM, AMY, ANNA... her eyes moved down the alphabet, past the MACs and MONAs, but her name was nowhere to be seen. A small knot of disappointment tightened in her stomach. “Excuse me,” she asked the stand attendant, “are there any more plates in the back?” The man shook his head, barely looking up from his newspaper. “Please, could you check?” Mulan insisted, her voice hopeful. He sighed. “What’s the name?” Mulan,” she said clearly. He frowned. “Come again? Spell it.” M—U—L—A—N, she spelled out, each letter feeling heavier than the last. To her horror, a snicker (暗笑) came from behind her. Zac, a boy from the grade above, was watching. “Of course they don’t have it,” he called out. “It’s not even a real name! MOO-lan! Sounds like a cow!” A few other kids nearby giggled. Mulan’s checks flamed, and the world seemed to shrink to the sound of that cruel version of her name. Tears filled her eyes as she fled, leaving the stand and the laughter behind. 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。 The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!” Tears streaming down her face, she recounted Zac’s cruel words to her mother. Her mother hugged her gently and said, “Your name is a beautiful gift from your ancestors. It means bravery.” To help her embrace it, they spent the evening creating a unique, hand-painted license plate. With every brushstroke of bright red and gold paint, Mulan’s sadness slowly melted away, replaced by a growing sense of pride in her cultural identity. Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning. As she rode Comet down the street, the vibrant colors of her new plate proudly displayed her true self. When Zac saw it at the school gate, his mocking smile instantly faded into an awkward silence. Mulan held her head high, no longer feeling embarrassed or ashamed. She realized her name was not something to be laughed at, but a precious treasure that made her stand out just like her beloved bicycle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以木兰的名字认同为线索展开，讲述中美混血女孩木兰七岁生日得到心爱的自行车，在校园嘉年华因找不到专属名字牌照、遭到同学嘲笑名字怪异而自卑难过，最终在母亲引导下亲手制作专属牌照，接纳名字、正视自我、重拾文化自信的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写木兰回家哭诉委屈，母亲温柔开导并讲述名字寓意，母女亲手制作专属牌照，木兰逐渐释怀并心生自豪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写木兰带着自制牌照骑车上学，面对嘲笑坦然自信，彻底接纳自己的独特名字，收获成长。 2.续写线索：哭诉委屈——母亲开导——亲手制牌——消解难过——重拾自豪——坦然入校——不惧嘲笑——接纳自我 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①流下：stream down/roll down ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①难过：sadness/sorrow ②尴尬：embarrassed/awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tears streaming down her face, she recounted Zac’s cruel words to her mother.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] With every brushstroke of bright red and gold paint, Mulan’s sadness slowly melted away, replaced by a growing sense of pride in her cultural identity.（运用了过去分词短语作状语） [高分句型3] She realized her name was not something to be laughed at, but a precious treasure that made her stand out.（运用了“not...but...”连接并列结构以及关系代词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宜宾市一中2024级高二下期第三次学情检测 英语 (考试时间：120分钟;全卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的考号、姓名、班级填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Now, let's take a look at some of the world's worst buildings. The Torre Velasca The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation(代表) of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts. The Mirador Building The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect(建筑师)Blanca Lleó.The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground. The Prague TV Tower The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn't fit in. The Longaberger Basket Company The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio(USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It's got seven floors and two handles(把手)at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it's certainly one of the most unusual. 1. According to the text, the Torre Velasca________. A. was created by Blanca Lleó B. is similar to a Lombard castle C. has a history of over 100 years D. is taller than the Prague TV Tower 2. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building? A. B. C. D. 3. When the Prague TV tower was put up，many people________. A. thought little of it B. liked it very much C. felt that it might fall down easily D. thought that it was totally useless B More than £5,500 has been raised after a plea last Monday by a vet Dr. Scott Miller. Scott said, “I would like to say a massive thank-you to express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been destroyed since the fire began in September. On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to leave the area as fires on the suburb threatened to spread. And so far, a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas. Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated, while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight. According to Scott, who has appeared on ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter, the mother is showing "great signs of improvement" and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery on his eye and is "recovering from the anesthetic and doing well". But the mother remains dehydrated so isn't producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they're being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother. Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Even more sadly, patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries. 4. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. Dr. Scott donated more than £5,500. B. Residents were asked to return to Canberra. C. A large area of Britain has been destroyed. D. Numerous animals may have lost their lives. 5. What did Dr. Scott do in his homeland? A. He worked hard in a field hospital on the island. B. He tried to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island. C. He hosted the ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter. D. He carefully looked after the mother and the baby koalas. 6. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Separately. B. Seriously. C. Successfully. D. Sympathetically. 7. What's the best title of the passage? A. An unexpected fire B. Generous donation C. Koalas' recovery D. Koala rescue C Conservation activities are one of the most effective ways to preserve the planet and the lives that inhabit it. Whether they’re aimed at saving the oceans, restoring trees, or saving animals, conservation activities are critical to preserving the planet’s beauty. On the other hand, conservation attempts occasionally fall short. And in some circumstances, it’s too little or too late. Red wolves, for example, used to be so rare that they only lived in one state in the United States, with only 14 remaining in the wild in the 1970s. It’s quite incredible for us due to a once celebrated population as being the most active reintroduction effort in the United States, laying the groundwork for Yellowstone’s highly praised grey wolf rewilding mission. However, when Heather Clarkson, who works for the conservation organization Defenders of Wildlife began working on the project in 2016, the situation was not good. “The red wolf scheme has almost crumbled because I’ve been living here, and I have been witnessing the whole change. It is quite miserable that it took over 20 years to get the initiative to a strong point. But now it comes in vain.” The district court for the eastern district of North Carolina ruled (作出裁决) in January that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which had abandoned the red wolf reintroduction program, would restore red wolves’ release into the wild. The USFWS submitted a revised proposal to the judge earlier this month, and he has allowed the plaintiffs (原告) two weeks to file any objections. Despite argument about whether the red wolf is a different species, a subspecies, or a half-blood animal, most scientists now consider it to be a distinct species. Red wolves are smaller than their grey relatives, and feed mainly on smaller animals, including raccoons, mice, and rabbits. They are the world’s most endangered wolf breed, after being widespread in the eastern and south-central United States until the early 1900s, extending from New York to Louisiana and as far west as Texas. Their habitat has been degraded as a result of increased urban expansion, which has occupied their breeding and hunting grounds. However, today’s main challenge is a battle with landowners, which has resulted in red wolves’ being hunted and destroyed. 8. What’s the author’s argument in the text? A. Conservation activities are useless. B. Conservation activities are not enough. C. It’s a big project to conserve lives on earth. D. It’s impossible to conserve some endangered species. 9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Broken down B. Worked out. C. Started. D. Succeeded. 10. What did the district court require USFWS to do? A. Give the red wolf freedom. B. Submit the objections in two weeks. C. Protect red wolves’ relatives at the same time. D. Abandon the red wolf reintroduction program. 11. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5? A. Provide some useful suggestions for readers. B. Give examples to support the above paragraphs. C. Add some background information about red wolves. D. Introduce the potential challenges of protecting red wolves. D In the late 1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective. Skyscraper (摩天大楼) construction exploded across the US after the turn of the 20th century. In New York, the record for the world’s tallest building was broken six times between 1908 and 1931. The development of steel frames made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The invention of the elevator, meanwhile, made inhabiting higher floors far more convenient. Though similar from the outside, today’s skyscrapers look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture’s next major technological shift: the curtain wall. After the developments in manufacturing, glass was produced quickly and uniformly, and glazed (装有玻璃的) windows soon became the choice for skyscrapers. Glazed windows have many advantages. In addition to allowing for greater floor space and letting natural light come in more easily, glass is much more flexible. The usage of glass could also help buildings stand greater wind as well as huge swinging caused by earthquakes and typhoons. “The role of skyscrapers has two parts,” explains Simon Chan, an experienced architect. “Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, but they also need places for people to live and work in dense urban settings.” he adds. A prime example is Hong Kong — one of the world’s most expensive property markets. Land there is very limited, and going high is almost the only solution. But there comes along the next big challenge. The buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world’s energy consumption, and contribute to almost 40% of greenhouse gas emissions; there are new costs to consider. Glass skyscrapers, for example, will probably revolutionize the look of our skylines, adding beauty to our city. However, they rely on energy-intensive air conditioning to address trapped heat and the lack of air flow. Whether it’s employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural ventilation (通风) or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the frontier for skyscraper architects. There should be many new developments in skyscraper design and technology with the aim of making skyscrapers something that saves energy. 12. What does the author mainly focus on in Paragraph 1? A.

All she had dreamed of for months was a bicycle of her very own — a red one, swift as the wind. When she dashed downstairs and saw the large, ribbon-topped box waiting, her heart soared. Inside gleamed the most perfect bike she could imagine. “It’s magnificent!” she cried, giving it a test spin around the kitchen tiles. She named it “Comet (彗星)” on the spot. That very afternoon, the school carnival was buzzing with noise and music. Mulan rode Comet proudly alongside her best friends, Lily and Chloe. When Lily spotted a stand selling personalized bike license plates (牌照), the idea was irresistible. “We have to get matching ones!” she exclaimed. The three girls hurried over, their coins clutched tightly. Lily and Chloe found their names in an instant among the neat rows of letters. But Mulan scanned the display again and again. ADAM, AMY, ANNA... her eyes moved down the alphabet, past the MACs and MONAs, but her name was nowhere to be seen. A small knot of disappointment tightened in her stomach. “Excuse me,” she asked the stand attendant, “are there any more plates in the back?” The man shook his head, barely looking up from his newspaper. “Please, could you check?” Mulan insisted, her voice hopeful. He sighed. “What’s the name?” Mulan,” she said clearly. He frowned. “Come again? Spell it.” M—U—L—A—N, she spelled out, each letter feeling heavier than the last. To her horror, a snicker (暗笑) came from behind her. Zac, a boy from the grade above, was watching. “Of course they don’t have it,” he called out. “It’s not even a real name! MOO-lan! Sounds like a cow!” A few other kids nearby giggled. Mulan’s checks flamed, and the world seemed to shrink to the sound of that cruel version of her name. Tears filled her eyes as she fled, leaving the stand and the laughter behind. 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。 The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
