模拟试题（三）参考答案及解析 第一部分 听力 参考答案 1-5 BBCCA 6-10 CBCAA 11-15 BABAB 16-20 CACAB 听力材料 Text 1 M: Our flight leaves at 10:00 am tomorrow, so we will have to get up early. W: What time should we arrive at the airport? M: We need to be at the airport one hour before, so that means 9:00 am. W: So we’ll have to be out of bed at 7:00 am in order to get to the airport on time. Text 2 M: I can’t wait for the holiday! W: What are you going to do for it? M: My sister and I are going to look for a pet dog to buy. I’m so excited! What’s your plan? W: I’m going to visit my grandparents in Singapore by myself! Text 3 M: Excuse me, I think you are in my seat. W: Sorry, but it says 7A on my boarding card. What’s your seat number? M: Let’s see. Oh, my seat number is 8A. W: So I guess you are in the seat behind me; you see the seat in front of me is 6A. Text 4 M: Shall we go to visit the Great Wall today? W: But I’m afraid it’s too far away, dear. M: Then let’s go to visit the Forbidden City. It’s a historic landmark and an imperial palace. W: Let’s first go to Nanluoguxiang for some Beijing traditional snacks in the morning. Then,we can go to the Forbidden City in the afternoon. M: Sounds great! Let’s go. Text 5 M: Would you tell me what time it is? I’m going to meet my uncle at the airport at 10:15. W: It’s 9:20. You have enough time to go there. M: I think I’d better go at 9:30.1’m not familiar with that area. W: You can use GPS. It will help you find the airport easily. Text 6 M: Helen, today is a lovely Saturday. What would you like to do? W: I really feel like doing something outdoors. Perhaps we could go hiking. M: Hmm, I am not really interested in hiking. Why don’t we just go and have a barbecue somewhere? We can also invite Jane and Tom to come with us. W: That suits me. But that will only take an hour or two. Do you want to do something else in the afternoon? Maybe we could go cycling to the country. M: Actually, I am not a very good cyclist. Maybe we could have a game of tennis in the park. Jane and Tom are good players. W: That sounds fun. I just want to be outdoors in the fresh air. M: OK, it’s settled. You call Jane and Tom, and I’ll go shopping for the barbecue. Text 7 W: Why don’t we go abroad for a change, Simon? Where I’d like to go is France, Spain, or Italy. M: Mm, I’m not that interested at all. I’d rather stay at home. W: Oh, come on, Simon. Think of the sun! M: Yes, but think of the cost! The best thing about having a holiday in Britain is its cheaper expense. And another thing, the travelling would be easier. No boats, planes or anything. W: Even so, we’ve been to most of the interesting places in Britain. There’s no point in wasting our summer holiday here. M: I suppose you’re right. However, what I don’t like actually is the trouble in changing money abroad. W: Oh, think about our children. Simon. They’re expecting an exciting holiday. M: And what’s more, I can’t speak any of the languages, you know that. It’s all right for you. You can speak foreign languages. W: Exactly. You see, what I’d really like to do is practice my French. It would help me a lot at work. M: Then, let’s go to France. W: Great! Text 8 M: Hi, Rita. Any more trips? W: No, mainly reports and paperwork. M: Rita, have you ever been to Mexico or Brazil? W: Mexico, yes, I have. I went to Cancún a couple of years ago. M: What’s it like? W: Lots of nice beaches, very good diving and waterskiing, and great nightlife. M: How about Brazil? Have you been there? W: Well, I’ve never been there, but it’s on my wish list. M: I’m thinking of taking a vacation this summer. I’ve got all this information, and I need to decide this week. W: One thing I can tell you for sure, Ben. Both places have a lot of parrots. Text 9 W: Congratulations, Bill. You are admitted into the office. M: Thank you. I’ll be glad to work with you.

W: Yes, you can take up to 4 hours a week for college courses. M: That’s very perfect. Thank you! Text 10 W: Hi, everybody. Welcome to our school library. I’m the librarian Kathy Smith and it is a great pleasure to show you around our beautiful and modern library. This library was set up in 2014. Although it has a short history, it has a huge collection of over 5,000 books as well as about 300 kinds of magazines and newspapers. Just imagine, when the class is over, you are reading your favorite book with the warm sunshine on the comfortable sofa. How relaxing it is! But always keep in mind that you should keep quiet. You may also borrow books from it. But it has some rules to follow. You can borrow at most four books at a time and keep them no longer than two weeks. If you can’t return them before they are due, you should renew them. Otherwise, you have to pay 10 cents for each book. You must take your library card with you. What’s more, there are computers available here. You can surf the Internet, look for the information you need and download some materials. That’s all for my introduction. Is there any question you want to ask? 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 【语篇解读】 A篇是一篇应用文，介绍了纽约大学为高中生举办的暑期学校项目。文章详细说明了项目的课程设置、关键特色、时间安排、费用以及完成项目后可获得的成果，旨在吸引全球青少年报名参加。 【答案解析】 21. A 细节理解题。根据首段"broaden their global perspective"及Key Features中"Interact with students from diverse backgrounds to gain a global perspective."可知，国际视野是项目的特色之一。B项"科研机会"、C项"每日导游"（实际为每周一次）、D项"无限借书"（实际为10本）均与原文不符。故选A。 22. A 细节理解题。根据"Application Deadline: June 10th, 2025"可知，申请截止日期为2025年6月10日，因此5月10日（A项）可以提交申请，B项6月15日已过截止日期。故选A。 23. B 细节理解题。根据"What you will gain"部分"Upon completion, students receive detailed grade reports that can enhance their college applications."可知，完成课程可获得详细的成绩报告（report card）。故选B。 B 【语篇解读】 B篇是一篇科普说明文，通过介绍生物音乐学领域的研究，说明音乐创作并非人类独有的能力。文章以座头鲸为例，详细分析其歌声在节奏、音域、结构和韵律等方面与人类音乐的相似性，证明动物同样具备音乐创作能力。 【答案解析】 24. A 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句"even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty"可知，即使座头鲸的发声器官允许它们发出其他声音，它们仍然趋向于选择那些与人类音乐偏好一致的声音和美感。converge on意为"趋向于"，与tend towards同义。故选A。 25. B 细节理解题。第四段详细描述了座头鲸在节奏、音阶、声音混合比例和A-B-A结构等方面的音乐能力，说明它们能够创造优美的音乐模式。A项"记忆复杂材料"是研究者的推测而非直接表现，C项"连续发出鼓声"与原文"混合鼓声和纯音"不符，D项"跟着西方音乐节奏唱"属于过度推断。故选B。 26. D 主旨大意题。文章开头指出音乐比之前认为的更古老，第二段提出音乐创作是人类和动物共有的活动，随后以座头鲸为例论证这一观点。因此文章主要说明音乐创作是人类和动物共同的古老活动。故选D。 27. B 写作意图题。全文以客观陈述的方式介绍科学研究成果，旨在向读者告知和解释"动物也能创作音乐"这一事实。故选B。 C 【语篇解读】 C篇是一篇说明文，介绍了海豚的生活习性、智力水平及其与人类的友好关系。文章从海豚的群居性、大脑特征、回声定位能力等方面展开，并通过Jack的故事说明海豚的友善和聪明。 【答案解析】 28. B 细节理解题。根据第一段"It is said that dolphins are the world's second brightest creatures after humans and have many brain features related to intelligence. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own."可知，海豚拥有与人类接近大小的大脑，这是它们区别于许多其他动物的特点。A、C、D项海豚与其他动物（如蜜蜂、鸟类）共有。故选B。 29. C 细节理解题。根据第二段"We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw."可知，海豚用下颚（jaw）来接收声音以确定方向。故选C。 30. D 细节理解题。根据第四段"In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way."可知，水手们寻找Jack是因为它能引领船只通过危险海域，即他们需要Jack的帮助。故选D。 31. A 推理判断题。Jack的故事展示了海豚自愿为人类船只引路的友善行为以及其聪明才智，说明海豚是友好且聪明的动物。B项"人类对动物残忍"并非故事主旨，C项"Jack与众不同"过于表面，D项"海豚应受法律保护"是文章最后一段的内容而非故事本身的主旨。故选A。 D 【语篇解读】 D篇是一篇议论文，讨论了现代数字生活中人们被科技产品控制的普遍现象。作者指出简单的技巧无法解决数字成瘾问题，提出需要一种"技术使用哲学"，并引用了Cal Newport的"数字极简主义"概念，主张有选择地使用数字工具，关注真正重要的事物。 【答案解析】 32. D 词义猜测题。根据第一段"that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day"可知，its danger指的就是"失去对数字生活的控制感"。A项"抑郁"、B项"讨论中分心"、C项"放弃私人时刻"都是失控的具体表现，而非其本质。故选D。 33. C 推理判断题。第二段作者讲述自己试图通过设置手机振动来控制技术使用却养成新习惯的经历，是为了说明仅靠小技巧难以持久改革数字生活，从而引出下文"需要技术使用哲学"这一更好的解决方案。故选C。 34. B 细节理解题。根据第三段Cal Newport对Digital Minimalism的定义"focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value"可知，数字极简主义者会将屏幕时间投入在真正有价值的事物上。故选B。 35. D 主旨大意题。全文围绕"技术使用哲学"这一核心概念展开——从问题描述到个人经历，再到专家定义的提出和具体做法的建议。A项"生活改革"范围过宽，B项"技术挑战"只是切入点，C项"应用程序和社交媒体"过于具体。故选D。 第二节 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了复活节的起源和庆祝传统。文章说明了复活节作为基督教节日的宗教意义，同时指出许多庆祝习俗（如画彩蛋、藏蛋、复活节兔子）实际上源于古代春天的庆祝活动，与基督教无关。 【答案解析】 36. B 根据下文"Easter is known mostly as a Christian holiday"可知，此处应说明复活节是庆祝耶稣复活的基督教节日。B项"It's a holiday to celebrate Jesus Christ's return to life."符合语境。故选B。 37. C 上文说复活节主要是基督教节日，下文说这个节日最初是为了庆祝春天的到来，说明许多庆祝活动与基督教无关。C项"However, many celebrations during this time have nothing to do with Christianity."起到承上启下的转折作用。故选C。 38. F 下文提到"Then later the eggs were given as gifts"，说明画蛋习俗先于送蛋习俗。F项"The practice of painting eggs was first done to represent the coming of spring."解释了画蛋的起源，与后文形成时间上的顺承关系。故选F。 39. A 上文提到孩子们喜欢寻找彩蛋（egg hunts），下文提到孩子们到处跑着寻找它们。A项"Others have hidden eggs around the houses or outside."解释了彩蛋是被"其他人"藏起来的，与前文的"egg hunts"形成逻辑关联。故选A。 40. G 上文提到复活节兔子从德国传到北美，下文提到甚至有巧克力做成的复活节兔子，说明复活节兔子是一个非常受欢迎的形象。G项"It's a very popular character for Easter."概括了本句与下文的逻辑关系。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者亲自照顾重病母亲的经历。作为医生的作者在母亲面前挣扎于"医生"和"女儿"双重身份之间。最终，疾病和需求拉近了母女关系，她们变得更亲密，并认识到彼此相爱才是最重要的。 【答案解析】 41.

What attracts me most is its theme—family bonds and the spirit of never giving up, which are deeply rooted in Chinese culture.

"Great idea," Max said, his frustration replaced by determination. Max kicked the soccer ball into a corner and they gathered, quickly dividing the park into sections: Max took the playground area, Ava focused on the walking trails, and Sam headed for the grassy fields. They raced home to grab gloves and trash bags, returning with a renewed sense of purpose. With each piece of trash they collected, the park slowly regained its former charm. Their efforts soon caught the attention of other parkgoers who watched curiously. A young mom with her child picked up litter near the sandbox, while an elderly man helped clear the walking trails. Even a group of teenagers, who had been playing basketball, joined in. What they did was infectious, and soon the park was cleaner than ever. Max, Ava, and Sam realized that together, they could make a real difference. They stood back to admire their handiwork. "We should call ourselves the Cleanup Squad," Ava suggested, smiling.

B Music for Humans and Humpback Whales As researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected. In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that music-making is at once an original human "business", and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom. The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere. For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length-a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves, yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form. Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. "This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material," the researchers write. 24. The underlined words "converge on" in Paragraph 3 probably means _______. A. tend towards B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward 25. Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales? A. They can remember complex material. B. They can create pleasing patterns of music. C. They can make sounds like drums continuously. D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music. 26. What is the main idea of the article? A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans. B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales. C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom. D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals. 27. The main purpose of the passage is to _______. A. argue and discuss B. inform and explain C. compare and advertise D. examine and assess C For centuries, dolphins have got our admiration, and it is easy to see why. They are beautiful, cute and smart sea animals. Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. It is said that dolphins are the world's second brightest creatures after humans and have many brain features related to intelligence. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 28. Dolphins are different from many other animals because they _______. A. live in groups B. have large brains C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language 29. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around? A. Its nose. B. Its ears. C. Its jaw. D. Its eyes. 30. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack? A. He was lonely and liked to be with people. B. They enjoyed playing with him. C. He was seriously wounded. D. They wanted his help. 31. By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted to show that _______. A. dolphins are friendly and clever B. people are cruel to animals C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law D We are often so attracted by the promises of modern digital life that we fail to notice its danger. It's that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day, from when we get distracted with our phones in a discussion to when we can't appreciate a private moment without sharing it with virtual audience. In my first attempt to get control over my technology use, I set my phone to vibrate rather than ring. Soon after, another problem appeared. The act of continually checking the phone became a habit. I knew then that using only tips to permanently reform digital life is difficult. We should go past the notification settings on our devices or apps and consider the more essential topic of why we use so many apps in the first place. What all of us who are struggling with these challenges need is a technology usage philosophy, something that explains from the ground up which digital tools we allow into our lives, why, and under what conditions. Cal Newport, a professor of computer science, defines Digital Minimalism as a "philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value, and then happily miss out on everything else." To do so, however, we cannot passively allow the tools and apps provided by the internet age to control how we spend our time or how we feel. Instead, we must take steps to draw the positive aspects of these technologies while sidestepping the negative aspects. 32. What does "its danger" in the first paragraph refer to? A. Feeling depressed. B. Getting distracted in a discussion. C. Giving up private moments. D. Losing control of your digital life. 33. Why does the author mention his own experiences? A. To make a comparison. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To bring in a better solution. D. To clarify misunderstandings. 34. Which of the following will digital minimalists agree to? A. Ignoring the side effect of digital tools. B. Devoting your screen time to valuable things. C. Spending more time selecting information. D. Getting away from entertainment apps. 35. What's the text mainly about? A. Reforms in life. B. Technology challenges. C. Apps and social media sites. D. Technology usage philosophy. 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。 Easter is a very popular holiday in Christian countries. ___36___ Easter is a "movable" holiday, as it is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox.

This tidy little park was their go-to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam following closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once-beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash—candy wrappers stuck in the slide's metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. "Look at this!" Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max's face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields—a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. "Who would be so thoughtless?" Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. "It's not just thoughtless—it's disrespectful." Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. "We can't just leave it like this. Why don't we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad..." she said, her voice soft but determined. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，每段对话仅读一遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
