Their stories are still being written, and they won't be complete until you share your side. The Missing Pieces Project invites you to share your pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England. The List is a register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites across England. Your view of a place is as unique as you are, so every snapshot and story you add is an important piece of the picture. And the more pieces of the picture we have, the better we can work together to protect what makes these places special. Whether you have a connection to a place already or you’re discovering it for the first time, your views add important new pieces to the picture. Images: from phone snaps to scans of old photos and architects' drawings, from wide angles to close-ups Stories: from memories of holidays, school trips and family events to information about grand openings and transformations Photos must be ones you took yourself, from public land or rights of way, or with permission from the landowner. To add an historic image, you must have the rights to it. See the Missing Pieces Project terms and conditions for more information. Sign in and make a difference. 21. What is the purpose of the Missing Pieces Project? A. To preserve historic places. B. To create fine art pieces. C. To promote a story contest. D. To teach photography skills. 22. How can you contribute to the project? A. By scanning a portrait of a great architect. B. By taking a picture of a newly-built museum. C. By sharing memories of a protected English site. D. By writing a special story of your trip to France. 23. What is required for a photo taken on a private land? A. Quality information. B. Public permission. C. A right background. D. The owner's support. B Dressed in a shiny metallic suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame is overshadowed by the red curtain of molten (熔化的，炽热的) rock that bursts from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured (捕捉) in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984, during the final breathing of a multi-year-long eruption (喷发). Looking at the image, one can almost feel the volcano’s heat, hear its roar, and sense Krafft’s heart pounding as the volcanologist does what she loves most: bearing witness to our planet’s strong anger. Katia Krafft was a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field. She was born in the Rhine valley of northeast France in 1942, curing the height of World War II. The chaotic human world drove both Katia and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcanologist, to seek comfort in nature. The moment a volcano exploded, they dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. The Kraffts used their videos of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. It changed the ability to communicate volcano science. Their videos are credited as one of the primary reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffs didn’t live to see that eruption. The couple died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a monstrous eruption, which claimed 41 other lives. Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet. “Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I’m doing this job,” says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Tiraboschi first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since. She now studies the processes at work deep below the volcanic peaks. 24. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1? A. The importance of volcanology. B. Katia Krafft’s passion for her work. C. The difficulty of filming volcanoes. D. The damage of a volcanic eruption. 25. What can we know about the videos of explosive eruptions? A. They prevented a natural disaster. B. They helped spread volcano science. C. They served as a warning in Japan. D. They covered Mount Pinatubo’s eruption. 26. How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi? A. Katia’s death made her restless. B. Katia helped her with her research. C. Katia taught her to make a documentary. D. Katia’s deeds inspired her career choice. 27. Which of the following best describes Katia Krafft? A. Creative and honest. B. Ambitious and outgoing. C. Brave and enthusiastic. D. Determined and generous. C A common theme running in fiction and mythology is the idea of orphan (孤儿) heroes and superheroes. Fairytales introduce us to children of absent fathers and cruel caretakers, like Cinderella (灰姑娘) and Snow White. Fiction makes much of the parentage of David Copperfield and Jane Eyre. Comic books offer orphaned heroes like Batman, Spiderman, or you’ll notice characters in more modern fiction from films and books like Harry Potter and Leia Skywalker. Why are so many heroes and superheroes orphans? Lacking parents, orphan heroes and superheroes are considered “children of the world”. Having raised themselves, and having been freed from much of the complex relationship of child to parent, orphan heroes and superheroes are at much greater liberty to interact with the world, and they may look at the world as parent and all its inhabitants as family. Some orphans seek only a home and a family. David Copperfield finds this with his aunt. Cinderella and Snow White escape evil stepmothers by marrying. Others, especially of the superhero “cast” are never really given family in the traditional sense. In fact, though they may have strong bonds with friends, or with caretakers, they are constantly attempting to prove worthiness to the world, and are desperate to save the people they do care about. You can also evaluate orphan heroes and superheroes as a means by which anxiety, loneliness, and independence are emphasized. The comic book type superhero is usually one who suffers always, or at least most of the time. Loss of even one parent can be intensely upsetting and forever change a child’s life, and superheroes may do all in their power to prevent this fate for other children. Empathy for suffering and a desire to end or prevent it for others are increased. It’s a good idea to consider why we see this theme expressed so commonly. Perhaps we view these orphans or poorly parented children as ultimately our own. They may not just be children of the world, but may belong to each reader. 28. Why does the author mention some famous characters in Paragraph 1? A. To support a statement. B. To advertise classic fiction. C. To clarify the writing purpose. D. To make an overall outline. 29. Which of the following drives some orphans to become superheroes? A. Intention to escape a family. B. Strong bonds with their family. C. Desire to prove their value to the world. D. Wishes for freedom to explore the world. 30. Which word best describes the comic book type superhero? A. Childish. B. Sympathetic. C. Cheerful. D. Dependent. 31. What may make the theme of orphan superheroes so common? A. Orphans’ ultimate fate is pitiful B. Readers have a preference for tragedies. C. Orphan characters are reflections of the readers. D. Readers may regard orphan characters as their own kids. D The universe, with its countless stars and galaxies (星系）, can be visually impressive, especially when we use high-powered telescopes to peer beyond the range of human vision. But what if we could hear those objects as well? That may sound impossible at first — how can sound travel through the vacuum of space? Isn’t the universe silent? Far from it, says Kim Arcand, an expert on data visualization (视觉化) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her team has found ways to strengthen distant sound waves that would otherwise be undetectable by human ears. They’ve also employed creative processing — taking visual data from infrared and X-ray telescopes and assigning notes to that data-to show celestial (天体的) phenomena via sounds. These “sonifications” (可听化) provide a new way for people to experience those awe-inspiring objects. Arcand, working with colleagues at the Smithsonian, Harvard and NASA, together with a Canadian science outreach team called SYSTEM Sounds, has been making these custom-made audio tracks that bring celestial images to life. An obvious match-up is to pair brighter parts of an image with louder sounds or to present longer wavelengths of light with lower-pitched sounds, and shorter ones with higher-pitched. Now, many of the tracks can be heard on YouTube, paired up with the images that inspired them, 16 of those sonifications have been put into an album called Universal Harmonies, which will be available on CD and streaming platforms beginning March 10. Aside from bringing science to a wider audience, Arcand also believes that sonification can bolster the science itself by allowing more people to contribute to our understanding of the universe. One of her goals, she says, is to show that “people who are blind or low-vision ... can also become part of the scientific enterprise.” For University of Toronto astrophysicist Matt Russo, who runs SYSTEM Sounds together with musician Andrew Santaguida, sonification has been a chance to bring together his two great passions — astronomy and music. It’s both an art and a science. “It was just instantly obvious that it was fun and rewarding,” he says. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Ways to sonifications. B. Advantages of visualization. C. Processes of data analysis. D. Patterns of sound waves. 33. How did Arcand’s team turn the images of universe into sounds? A. By uploading images onto streaming platforms. B. By identifying and connecting different sound waves. C. By pairing images with sounds through creative technology. D. By processing audio data with the help of SYSTEM Sounds. 34. What does the underlined word “bolster” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Prove. B. Support. C. Mirror. D. Lead. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How Does Sound Come into Being? B. SYSTEM Sounds: A Pioneer in Space C. Universe: The Mystery Uncovered D. What Does the Universe Sound Like? 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows that we spend one-third to one-half of our waking life not living in the present. 36 Our brains transport us to past events, imagined future scenes and other internal thoughts. This allows for introspection (内省) — the space to imagine, remember, reflect and then use these fantasies to solve problems, innovate and create. But introspection can sometimes lead to more harm than good. 37 When we focus inward to work through our problems, we may find that doing so causes us to feel worse. Negative thought cycles like this can make our capacity for introspection feel more like a curse than a blessing. The fact that introspection is both a helpful tool and destructive force is a great contradiction of the human mind. Fortunately, science has begun to explain why this happens, and how to control it. 38 This fires up our emotions to the degree of rejecting alternative ways of thinking about the issue that might cool us down. In other words, we lose insight. One natural solution to this problem is to zoom out — to “step back” from your problems so you can think about them more objectively. 39 However, not just any conversation will do. The key is to focus on talking to people who not only allow you to express your emotions but also help broaden your horizons. Introspection is central to the makeup of the human mind. The challenge is to minimize the negative aspects while achieving its potential. 40 . A. But it can be wonderful to live in the past. B. It might contribute to anxiety and depression. C. We naturally separate from the here and now. D. Another way to gain insight is to talk to others. E. Regulating negative emotions also helps to reason wisely. F. Negative thought cycles occur when we zoom in too close on our problems. G. Being aware of how our minds work can help us make the best of introspection. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I love and enjoy playing the piano.

Midweek, no one was around here. The nearby protected wetlands ran along the shore. Songbirds, ducks, and Canada geese slid by on the breeze, touching down briefly on the water’s surface before flapping (拍打) and quacking (呱呱叫) their way back up into the sky. Standing at the lake’s edge, I cast my fishing line onto the smooth-as-glass water. Down the shoreline was Isaiah, who liked to fish alone, away from noise and other people. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons (潜鸟) crowded together not far from the shoreline. Loons usually travel alone, but here were five of them in a group. One loon, making painful sounds, swam away from the group, toward me. It seemed like it was trying to get my attention. “Isaiah! Come here!” Isaiah pressed his finger against his lips, pointed to where he had cast his line, and shook his head gently. “Just get over here. Now!” I yelled. He laid his fishing pole down and dragged his feet, moving toward me at a snail’s pace. “Come here!” I yelled again. “Take a look at that loon. It keeps getting closer and closer!” On hearing this, Isaiah fastened his pace. The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore, not ten feet away from us. It was so close that we could see its red eyes. Oddly, the bird’s wings were held tight against its spotted black-and-white body. Though scared of its sharp beak (喙), we stepped into the water cautiously. As we approached the loon, we both saw something around its neck (脖子). Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red-hook deeply stuck in its body, and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn’t fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Isaiah rushed to grab the scissors (剪刀) from the toolbox and came back. ___________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ With a sigh of relief, I set the loon down on the water. __________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025（上）高三英语期中考 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
