Choudhury studied environmental science as a university student, and it was through her degree course — the global health modules, specifically — that an interest in sustainable living was excited. “I’d always been aware of the environment but I hadn’t really understood the facts and numbers behind it until I took the course, and then I was determined (下定决心的) to spring into action,” she says. It is her Bangladeshi cultural background that encourages her to stick to the low-waste lifestyle. “Bangladesh has been quite a poor country. And so, one thing that I was always brought up with was the idea of frugality (节俭). That was something that was already part of my head because when I was young, people around me kept saying, ‘You have to be frugal; you have to make things go further.’” While she would “never count plastic bags ever again”, she has practiced other simple but effective techniques for changing her consumer habits and for helping others make the same changes her family made-a “two-out, one-in” system when buying second-hand clothes. She also brings her own containers to a coffee shop or restaurant. And she suggests buying in large packaging (包装), which can help to reduce the amount of packaging waste that you create. According to a report published last year by Women’s Wear Daily, #zerowaste got more than 4.7m uses on social media that year, making it one of the fastest-growing and widely used sustainability-related hashtags (话题标签) on the Internet. 31. How did Choudhury practice a sustainable lifestyle at first? A. By eating as little meat as possible. B. By paying attention to plastic bags. C. By saying no to disposable chopsticks. D. By walking to work every day. 32. What inspired Choudhury to start her sustainability journey? A. Plastic bags she used at home. B. Articles on sustainability she read online. C. The degree course she took at her university. D. Zero waste methods she learned from environmental science. 33. What does Choudhury say about frugality? A. It has hardly been accepted in London. B. It is a deep-seated idea in her mind. C. It sometimes goes against her lifestyle. D. It has become out of date in Bangladesh. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Choudhury reduces waste as a consumer. B. Why it is difficult to change people’s lifestyles. C. How Choudhury looks at a sustainable lifestyle. D. Why it is necessary to protect Bangladeshi culture. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Small actions can make a big difference B. Reusing is the answer C. Saying “no” to plastic bags D. Living a low-waste life B In August, University of Alberta students successfully sent an experiment into space from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The experiment, called the PEPPER-X project, is designed to study the interaction between space radiation (辐射) and the Earth. The team, made up of undergraduate and graduate students, spent 16 months preparing for the launch (发射) as part of NASA’s RockSat-X program. “This experiment was almost entirely built and tested by students,” explained project manager Erik Halliwell, a graduate student in the Faculty of Engineering. For Halliwell, being a project manager on PEPPER-X provided important leadership opportunities. “It’s been really nice to work with people with different levels of experience. I have people who mentor (指导) me in my professional journey, and I was able to be that person for somebody else — to be the mentor that I would have wanted.” Joyce Winterton, Senior Advisor from NASA, expressed what a pleasure it was having the team from Alberta participate in RockSat-X. “The PEPPER-X project team showed their professionalism throughout the process. The members of this team will be a great addition to the aerospace workforce.” Winterton said. With a project like PEPPER-X, there are engineering objectives (目标) and there are science objectives. “The mission of this project is to build instruments that can function in space. But the purpose of training the students is for them to develop the skills needed to join the Canadian workforce in aerospace,” Halliwell said. “So we need to build the instruments, and we also need to train students. We did both and we nailed it.” Looking ahead, the team is currently working through analyzing (分析) the data, which will take weeks or even months to fully process. They will then take the lessons learned and apply them as they develop similar instruments for a mission launching in 2027. 36. What do we know about the PEPPER-X project? A. It is a student-built experiment. B. It provided inspiration for NASA. C. It will last for over 16 months in space. D. It has been greatly impacted by space radiation. 37. In which aspect did Halliwell benefit from the PEPPER-X project? A. Developing interest in space. B. Learning good leadership. C. Getting workplace experience. D. Building self-confidence. 38. What can we say about Winterton from her words? A. She expressed great expectation of RockSat-X. B. She valued international teamwork in space exploration. C. She felt pleased to be the mentor at the University of Alberta. D. She thought highly of the students from the PEPPER-X project. 39. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part “nailed it” in paragraph 4? A. Retired. B. Appeared. C. Succeeded. D. Changed. 40. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The team’s next step in analyzing data and preparing for a future mission. B. The challenges the team faced during the PEPPER-X launch. C. The importance of teamwork in completing the project. D. The role of NASA in supporting student projects. C From Braille to earmuffs, every day we use great inventions dreamt up by young people. And in the 21st century, young inventors continue to bring new inventions into our lives. Fionn Ferreira was a science and water sports lover. When he discovered the harmful impact of microplastic pollution on water, his passions connected. Aged 19, he invented a magnetic liquid (磁性液体) called ferrofluid. When added to water, it sticks to microplastics, allowing more than 85% of harmful microplastics to be removed from the water. Young inventors like Ferreira are transforming our world. And in classrooms around the world sit the inventors of the future. So how can teachers support these young inventors in their classrooms? “Teachers can encourage young people to bring out their inventive potential (潜能) by delivering lessons that connect with the real issues which inspire them,” says Maddy Kavanagh, Amazon Longitude Explorer Prize program manager at Nesta Challenges. “This can include climate change, living healthier lives, looking after an ageing population or clean transport.” Invention isn’t as simple as having one bright idea. The courage to try, fail and keep going is important to invention. “Help students stay confident when things get challenging,” says Heather Picov, CEO of Apps for Good. “Failing and trying again is part of the problem-solving process.” Inventions need protection. Intellectual property rights (知识产权) allow young inventors to get recognized as the creator of their ideas or products. Too often, intellectual property is either left out of lessons or the focus is on how students can stay out of trouble; for example, by avoiding breaking copyright rules around film or music. Young people need to learn about intellectual property as a tool to protect their creations. With the knowledge, skills and confidence they need, young people can transform the world. And when the creative spark (火花) shines, everybody can embrace the brilliance of life-changing inventions. 41. Why does the author mention Ferreira? A. To stress the value of young inventors. B. To compare inventors from different ages. C. To show technical progress in the 21st century. D. To reflect students’ views on environmental protection. 42. What is Kavanagh’s suggestion for educators? A. Teaching students real-world rules. B. Encouraging students to embrace failure. C. Connecting students with real challenges. D. Developing students’ skills in personal relations. 43. What quality does Heather Picov stress in paragraph 5? A. The desire for perfection. B. The determination to keep going through failure. C. The ability to avoid all risks. D. The courage to seek help from others. 44. What is the author’s attitude towards learning about intellectual property in class? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Thankful. D. Supportive. 45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What role teachers can play in students’ development B. How to help young inventors find their creative spark C. Invention education prepares students for the future D. Meet young talents in the 21st century 五．阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Andrew Brock was looking through job ads last year looking for a new adventure, but he never thought it would take him to the Australian Antarctic (南极洲) Division at Mawson Station. Looking for a “change of pace (节奏)” from his job with a southern New South Wales council, he decided to apply. Now halfway through a 14-month task as an expeditioner (探险队员), Mr. Brock is focusing on renewing the station’s main accommodation building, known as the “red shed.” “We’re now working on project renewals for all the bedrooms,” he said. He likens his job to space travel, noting, “There are similarities between ourselves and astronauts.” As Mawson Station’s fire chief, Mr. Brock is also fixing two of the station’s three water containers. Although winter has passed, temperatures still range from-32 to-5 degrees Celsius. “I never thought I would adapt to such extremes of temperature, but I have,” he said. The cold affects equipment, especially batteries. “We are in the age of cordless (无线的) tools, so we just have lots of them,” he noted. Mr. Brock and his teammates stay in regular contact with their families, but life at Mawson Station can make them feel cut off from the outside world. “You’re onsite 24/7, so at the end of the day, though you may not be on the job, you have to be ready to deal with any emergency,” he explained. So the job is kind of demanding. His time in the Antarctic has deepened his appreciation for environmental efforts. “Every expeditioner appreciates the quietness and beauty of the place, and they don’t want to mess it up,” he said. He has seen various animals, like Weddell seals, emperor penguins, and various whales, and hopes to see an orca (虎鲸) before returning to Australia in January. He enjoys his free time with fellow expeditioners, playing darts and watching movies. Also, when the weather is good, they organize “jollies”, which are short trips unrelated to work. 46. Why did Brock decide to apply for a position at the Australian Antarctic Division? (no more than 15 word) ________________________________________________________________ 47. How does Brock feel about his adapting to the cold conditions? (1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 48. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 49. What effect does Brock’s stay in the Antarctic have on him? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 50. Do you like trying new things? Why or why not? (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 六．书面表达（共15分） 51. 假定你是李华，正在新西兰某国际高中交换学习。你校将于下个月开设中国戏曲鉴赏（appreciation）课程，现需要一名学生助教，你有意应聘。请给该课程负责人写一封邮件，内容包括： 1）写信目的；2）个人优势；3）期待回复。 注意：写作词数应不少于100。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026（二）天津二中高一年级第二次月考 英语学科试卷 一．听力（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 第一节 听下面五段对话，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，你将有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.

with counting all of the plastic bags that came into my house,” she explains, sharing her strict low-to-zero-waste methods. Choudhury studied environmental science as a university student, and it was through her degree course — the global health modules, specifically — that an interest in sustainable living was excited. “I’d always been aware of the environment but I hadn’t really understood the facts and numbers behind it until I took the course, and then I was determined (下定决心的) to spring into action,” she says. It is her Bangladeshi cultural background that encourages her to stick to the low-waste lifestyle. “Bangladesh has been quite a poor country. And so, one thing that I was always brought up with was the idea of frugality (节俭). That was something that was already part of my head because when I was young, people around me kept saying, ‘You have to be frugal; you have to make things go further.’” While she would “never count plastic bags ever again”, she has practiced other simple but effective techniques for changing her consumer habits and for helping others make the same changes her family made-a “two-out, one-in” system when buying second-hand clothes. She also brings her own containers to a coffee shop or restaurant. And she suggests buying in large packaging (包装), which can help to reduce the amount of packaging waste that you create. According to a report published last year by Women’s Wear Daily, #zerowaste got more than 4.7m uses on social media that year, making it one of the fastest-growing and widely used sustainability-related hashtags (话题标签) on the Internet. 31. How did Choudhury practice a sustainable lifestyle at first? A. By eating as little meat as possible. B. By paying attention to plastic bags. C. By saying no to disposable chopsticks. D. By walking to work every day. 32. What inspired Choudhury to start her sustainability journey? A. Plastic bags she used at home. B Articles on sustainability she read online. C. The degree course she took at her university. D. Zero waste methods she learned from environmental science. 33. What does Choudhury say about frugality? A. It has hardly been accepted in London. B. It is a deep-seated idea in her mind. C. It sometimes goes against her lifestyle. D. It has become out of date in Bangladesh. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Choudhury reduces waste as a consumer. B. Why it is difficult to change people’s lifestyles. C. How Choudhury looks at a sustainable lifestyle. D. Why it is necessary to protect Bangladeshi culture. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Small actions can make a big difference B. Reusing is the answer C. Saying “no” to plastic bags D. Living a low-waste life 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍公共卫生专家乔杜里践行低浪费可持续生活的起因、具体做法，也提及零浪费是当下网络热门环保话题。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I started with counting all of the plastic bags that came into my house(我一开始就是从统计家里收到的所有塑料袋开始的)”可知，乔杜里最初从统计进入家中的塑料袋开始践行可持续生活，关注塑料袋是她最初的行动。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Choudhury studied environmental science as a university student, and it was through her degree course — the global health modules, specifically — that an interest in sustainable living was excited.(乔杜里大学时主修环境科学，正是通过她的学位课程——特别是全球健康相关的模块——才真正激发了她对可持续生活的兴趣)”可知，乔杜里的大学学位课程让她读懂环保相关数据，激发了她开启可持续生活的决心。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段引语“Bangladesh has been quite a poor country. And so, one thing that I was always brought up with was the idea of frugality (节俭). That was something that was already part of my head because when I was young, people around me kept saying, ‘You have to be frugal; you have to make things go further.’(孟加拉国一直是一个相当贫穷国家。因此，从小我就被灌输了勤俭节约的理念。这种观念早已根深蒂固，因为在我小时候，身边的人总是说：‘你必须节俭，要让东西用得更久’)”可知，乔杜里成长过程中一直被灌输节俭观念，节俭早已深深植根在她的思想中。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“While she would “never count plastic bags ever again”, she has practiced other simple but effective techniques for changing her consumer habits and for helping others make the same changes her family made-a “two-out, one-in” system when buying second-hand clothes...(虽然她‘再也不会数塑料袋了’，但她已经尝试了其他简单却有效的方法来改变自己的消费习惯，并帮助他人做出与家人相同的改变——比如在购买二手衣物时采用‘两出一入’的系统……)”可知，本段主要介绍了乔杜里在日常中减少浪费的多种具体方法，核心围绕她作为消费者的减废行为展开。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Farihah Choudhury, a public health expert based just outside London, remembers her early efforts to live a sustainable lifestyle. ‘I started with counting all of the plastic bags that came into my house,’ she explains, sharing her strict low-to-zero-waste methods.(居住在伦敦郊外的公共卫生专家法里哈·乔杜里回忆起自己早期努力践行可持续生活方式的经历。‘我一开始就是从统计家里收到的所有塑料袋开始的，’她解释道，并分享了她严格的低至零浪费方法)”可知，全文围绕乔杜里践行低浪费生活展开，核心主题就是低浪费生活方式。 B In August, University of Alberta students successfully sent an experiment into space from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The experiment, called the PEPPER-X project, is designed to study the interaction between space radiation (辐射) and the Earth. The team, made up of undergraduate and graduate students, spent 16 months preparing for the launch (发射) as part of NASA’s RockSat-X program. “This experiment was almost entirely built and tested by students,” explained project manager Erik Halliwell, a graduate student in the Faculty of Engineering. For Halliwell, being a project manager on PEPPER-X provided important leadership opportunities. “It’s been really nice to work with people with different levels of experience. I have people who mentor (指导) me in my professional journey, and I was able to be that person for somebody else — to be the mentor that I would have wanted.” Joyce Winterton, Senior Advisor from NASA, expressed what a pleasure it was having the team from Alberta participate in RockSat-X. “The PEPPER-X project team showed their professionalism throughout the process. The members of this team will be a great addition to the aerospace workforce.” Winterton said. With a project like PEPPER-X, there are engineering objectives (目标) and there are science objectives. “The mission of this project is to build instruments that can function in space. But the purpose of training the students is for them to develop the skills needed to join the Canadian workforce in aerospace,” Halliwell said. “So we need to build the instruments, and we also need to train students. We did both and we nailed it.” Looking ahead, the team is currently working through analyzing (分析) the data, which will take weeks or even months to fully process. They will then take the lessons learned and apply them as they develop similar instruments for a mission launching in 2027. 36. What do we know about the PEPPER-X project? A. It is a student-built experiment. B. It provided inspiration for NASA. C. It will last for over 16 months in space. D. It has been greatly impacted by space radiation. 37. In which aspect did Halliwell benefit from the PEPPER-X project? A. Developing interest in space. B. Learning good leadership. C. Getting workplace experience. D. Building self-confidence. 38. What can we say about Winterton from her words? A. She expressed great expectation of RockSat-X. B. She valued international teamwork in space exploration. C. She felt pleased to be the mentor at the University of Alberta. D. She thought highly of the students from the PEPPER-X project. 39. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part “nailed it” in paragraph 4? A. Retired. B. Appeared. C. Succeeded. D. Changed. 40. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The team’s next step in analyzing data and preparing for a future mission. B. The challenges the team faced during the PEPPER-X launch. C. The importance of teamwork in completing the project. D. The role of NASA in supporting student projects. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了阿尔伯塔大学学生PEPPER-X项目成功送入太空及其意义与后续计划。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The team, made up of undergraduate and graduate students, spent 16 months preparing for the launch (发射) as part of NASA’s RockSat-X program. “This experiment was almost entirely built and tested by students,” explained project manager Erik Halliwell, a graduate student in the Faculty of Engineering. (这支由本科生和研究生组成的团队花费了16个月时间为发射做准备，该发射是美国宇航局RockSat-X项目的一部分。项目负责人、工程学院的硕士研究生Erik Halliwell解释说：“这个实验几乎完全是由学生自己建造和测试的。”)”可知，PEPPER-X项目是一个由学生建造的实验项目。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For Halliwell, being a project manager on PEPPER-X provided important leadership opportunities. (对Halliwell来说，担任PEPPER-X项目的项目经理提供了重要的领导机会。)”以及“I have people who mentor (指导) me in my professional journey, and I was able to be that person for somebody else — to be the mentor that I would have wanted. (在我的职业发展道路上，有人指导我，而我也能够成为别人身边的那个角色——成为我当初所希望遇到的那种指导者。)”可知，Halliwell从中受益于学习良好的领导力。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The PEPPER-X project team showed their professionalism throughout the process. The members of this team will be a great addition to the aerospace workforce. (PEPPER-X项目团队在整个过程中表现出了专业精神。这个团队的成员将成为航空航天队伍的重要补充。)”可知，Winterton对PEPPER-X项目的学生给予了高度评价。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“So we need to build the instruments, and we also need to train students. We did both and we nailed it. (所以我们需要制造仪器，同时也需要培养学生。我们两件事都做到了，而且我们nailed it。)”可知，他们两项任务都完成了并且做得很好，因此“nailed it”意为“取得成功”，与succeeded同义。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Looking ahead, the team is currently working through analyzing (分析) the data, which will take weeks or even months to fully process. They will then take the lessons learned and apply them as they develop similar instruments for a mission launching in 2027. (展望未来，该团队目前正在分析数据，完全处理这些数据将需要数周甚至数月的时间。然后，他们将吸取经验教训，并将其应用于为2027年发射的一项任务开发类似的仪器。)”可知，本段主要讲述了团队分析数据以及为未来任务做准备的下一步计划。 C From Braille to earmuffs, every day we use great inventions dreamt up by young people. And in the 21st century, young inventors continue to bring new inventions into our lives. Fionn Ferreira was a science and water sports lover. When he discovered the harmful impact of microplastic pollution on water, his passions connected. Aged 19, he invented a magnetic liquid (磁性液体) called ferrofluid. When added to water, it sticks to microplastics, allowing more than 85% of harmful microplastics to be removed from the water. Young inventors like Ferreira are transforming our world. And in classrooms around the world sit the inventors of the future. So how can teachers support these young inventors in their classrooms? “Teachers can encourage young people to bring out their inventive potential (潜能) by delivering lessons that connect with the real issues which inspire them,” says Maddy Kavanagh, Amazon Longitude Explorer Prize program manager at Nesta Challenges. “This can include climate change, living healthier lives, looking after an ageing population or clean transport.” Invention isn’t as simple as having one bright idea. The courage to try, fail and keep going is important to invention. “Help students stay confident when things get challenging,” says Heather Picov, CEO of Apps for Good. “Failing and trying again is part of the problem-solving process.” Inventions need protection. Intellectual property rights (知识产权) allow young inventors to get recognized as the creator of their ideas or products. Too often, intellectual property is either left out of lessons or the focus is on how students can stay out of trouble; for example, by avoiding breaking copyright rules around film or music. Young people need to learn about intellectual property as a tool to protect their creations. With the knowledge, skills and confidence they need, young people can transform the world. And when the creative spark (火花) shines, everybody can embrace the brilliance of life-changing inventions. 41. Why does the author mention Ferreira? A. To stress the value of young inventors. B. To compare inventors from different ages. C. To show technical progress in the 21st century. D. To reflect students’ views on environmental protection. 42. What is Kavanagh’s suggestion for educators? A. Teaching students real-world rules. B. Encouraging students to embrace failure. C. Connecting students with real challenges. D. Developing students’ skills in personal relations. 43. What quality does Heather Picov stress in paragraph 5? A. The desire for perfection. B. The determination to keep going through failure. C. The ability to avoid all risks. D. The courage to seek help from others. 44. What is the author’s attitude towards learning about intellectual property in class? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Thankful. D. Supportive. 45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What role teachers can play in students’ development B. How to help young inventors find their creative spark C. Invention education prepares students for the future D. Meet young talents in the 21st century 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍青年发明家的成果，并阐述教师助力青年发明创造的各类方法。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Young inventors like Ferreira are transforming our world. And in classrooms around the world sit the inventors of the future.(像费雷拉这样的青年发明家正在改变我们的世界。世界各地的教室里，坐着未来的发明家)”可知，作者列举费雷拉的案例，是为了强调青年发明家的价值。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Teachers can encourage young people to bring out their inventive potential (潜能) by delivering lessons that connect with the real issues which inspire them(教师可以通过讲授与能够启发学生的现实问题相关的课程，鼓励年轻人发掘自身的发明潜能)”可知，卡瓦纳建议教育者将学生和真实的挑战联系起来，激发创造潜能。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“The courage to try, fail and keep going is important to invention. “Help students stay confident when things get challenging,” says Heather Picov, CEO of Apps for Good. “Failing and trying again is part of the problem-solving process.”(敢于尝试、失败并坚持不懈，对发明至关重要。“当事情变得困难时，帮助学生保持信心，”Apps for Good公司首席执行官希瑟·皮科夫表示，“失败和再次尝试是解决问题过程的一部分。”)”可知，皮科夫强调直面失败、坚持下去的意志力。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段的“Young people need to learn about intellectual property as a tool to protect their creations.(年轻人需要学习知识产权，将其作为保护自身创作成果的工具)”可知，作者支持课堂中开展知识产权相关学习。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章前两段举年轻发明者的例子，第三段提出教师该怎么支持，第四、五、六段分三个建议（开设结合现实问题的课程，挖掘学生的发明潜能；引导学生直面困难、不惧失败，保持信心并坚持尝试；普及知识产权知识，教会学生用其保护自身创作成果）展开，最后说有了知识技能信心，年轻人可以改变世界，核心是介绍帮助青年发明家迸发创造力的方法。因此“如何帮助青年发明家迸发创意火花”是最佳标题。 五．阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Andrew Brock was looking through job ads last year looking for a new adventure, but he never thought it would take him to the Australian Antarctic (南极洲) Division at Mawson Station. Looking for a “change of pace (节奏)” from his job with a southern New South Wales council, he decided to apply. Now halfway through a 14-month task as an expeditioner (探险队员), Mr. Brock is focusing on renewing the station’s main accommodation building, known as the “red shed.” “We’re now working on project renewals for all the bedrooms,” he said. He likens his job to space travel, noting, “There are similarities between ourselves and astronauts.” As Mawson Station’s fire chief, Mr. Brock is also fixing two of the station’s three water containers. Although winter has passed, temperatures still range from-32 to-5 degrees Celsius. “I never thought I would adapt to such extremes of temperature, but I have,” he said. The cold affects equipment, especially batteries. “We are in the age of cordless (无线的) tools, so we just have lots of them,” he noted. Mr. Brock and his teammates stay in regular contact with their families, but life at Mawson Station can make them feel cut off from the outside world. “You’re onsite 24/7, so at the end of the day, though you may not be on the job, you have to be ready to deal with any emergency,” he explained. So the job is kind of demanding. His time in the Antarctic has deepened his appreciation for environmental efforts. “Every expeditioner appreciates the quietness and beauty of the place, and they don’t want to mess it up,” he said. He has seen various animals, like Weddell seals, emperor penguins, and various whales, and hopes to see an orca (虎鲸) before returning to Australia in January. He enjoys his free time with fellow expeditioners, playing darts and watching movies. Also, when the weather is good, they organize “jollies”, which are short trips unrelated to work. 46. Why did Brock decide to apply for a position at the Australian Antarctic Division? (no more than 15 word) ________________________________________________________________ 47. How does Brock feel about his adapting to the cold conditions? (1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 48. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (1 word) ________________________________________________________________ 49. What effect does Brock’s stay in the Antarctic have on him? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 50. Do you like trying new things? Why or why not? (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Because he was looking for a change of pace from his present job. 47. Surprised. / Unexpected. 48. Challenging. / Difficult. / Hard. / Tough. 49. It has deepened his appreciation for environmental efforts. / He is more aware of environmental protection. 50. Yes. Because they challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, and they can also bring fresh experiences.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述安德鲁前往南极科考站工作，介绍其工作、生活与内心感悟。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Looking for a “change of pace (节奏)” from his job with a southern New South Wales council, he decided to apply.(为了摆脱新南威尔士州南部议会工作的节奏，他决定申请该岗位)”可知，布罗克申请南极岗位是为了改变现有工作节奏。 【47题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I never thought I would adapt to such extremes of temperature, but I have.(我从未想过自己能适应如此极端的气温，但我做到了)”可知，布罗克对自己适应严寒感到意外。 【48题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段中的“You’re onsite 24/7, so at the end of the day, though you may not be on the job, you have to be ready to deal with any emergency.(你全年无休驻守现场，所以归根结底，即便不在工作时段，你也必须随时准备处理突发状况)”可知，他的工作有难度、要求很高。由此猜测，划线词demanding意为“要求高的、有难度的”，与“challenging/ difficult/ hard/ tough.”等同义。 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“His time in the Antarctic has deepened his appreciation for environmental efforts.(他在南极的这段时光加深了他对环保工作的理解)”可知，南极经历对他的影响是加深了他对环保工作的理解。 【50题详解】 开放性问答题。结合原文主人公主动尝试全新工作的主旨作答，贴合词数限制。例如可回答：Yes. Because they challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, and they can also bring fresh experiences. 六．书面表达（共15分） 51. 假定你是李华，正在新西兰某国际高中交换学习。你校将于下个月开设中国戏曲鉴赏（appreciation）课程，现需要一名学生助教，你有意应聘。请给该课程负责人写一封邮件，内容包括： 1）写信目的；2）个人优势；3）期待回复。 注意：写作词数应不少于100。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Li Hua, and I am an exchange student from China.
