Six years ago, Dick and his students did a little monarch research and found out just how dramatically their numbers were falling. Educators from Toledo Zoo brought several butterflies to Gateway for his students to tag (加标签) and release. “That’s when we realized that we had no milkweed — or anything else — here on Gateway’s campus for the butterflies to eat,” Dick explained. In response to it, he and his students, along with the help of Toledo Zoo and teachers at Gateway, engaged in a problem-based learning project to create a 10,000-square-foot urban prairie (草原) on the school grounds. Located across the parking lot and behind the bus garage, it’s been the optimal site because it’s easily accessible but out of the way of daily traffic. “We have a wide variety of birds, butterflies and bugs in that little space, and all kinds of unique plants,” Dick said. This was the original Prairie Project. Since then, they have added several schools and members and now have 19 buildings with a total of about 7.5 acres of prairie. Throughout the process, Toledo Zoo has been an amazing partner. Toledo Zoo’s curator (负责人) of education Mitch Magdich teamed up with Dick to write standards-based lessons for grades 1-8, making it easier for teachers to use their prairies as outdoor classrooms and lab spaces. “For example, every September, all 19 partnering schools do a Prairie Bioblitz, where we take pictures of all the living things that we can find and upload them to an app called iNaturalist. This is always a rewarding experience!” Dick said. “I think our little prairie spaces are providing meaningful, hands-on experiences that are truly unique. Kids today are actively looking for ways to make a difference. Our prairies not only make them aware of the environment, but also show the kids what role they can play in protecting and conserving our natural resources,” Dick said. 4. What led to the creation of the Gateway prairie? A. A systematic study on milkweed. B. A decline in the monarch butterfly population. C. A lack of food sources for butterflies on campus. D. A recommendation from Toledo Zoo educators. 5. What do the underlined words “the optimal site” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The most suitable place. B. The quietest location. C. The largest possible area. D. The least frequented spot. 6. What is the purpose of the Prairie Bioblitz? A. To reward those finding the most species. B. To protect endangered species in urban prairies. C. To record the biodiversity within urban prairies. D. To clean up the prairies and remove harmful species. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Journey in Education: The Life of Mike Dick B. Urban Prairies: The Home to Monarch Butterflies C. A Day at Toledo Zoo: Nature Education for Students D. The Butterfly Effect: Integrating Prairies and Campuses 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述教师Mike Dick在校园打造城市草原，保护黑脉金斑蝶，把生态保护与校园教育相结合的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That’s when we realized that we had no milkweed — or anything else — here on Gateway’s campus for the butterflies to eat,” Dick explained. In response to it, he and his students, along with the help of Toledo Zoo and teachers at Gateway, engaged in a problem-based learning project to create a 10,000-square-foot urban prairie (草原) on the school grounds.(“就在那时我们意识到，我们这里没有马利筋——或是其他任何东西——在盖特威校区，供蝴蝶食用，”迪克解释说。作为对此事的回应，他和他的学生们，在托莱多动物园以及盖特威学校老师们的帮助下，参与了一项基于问题的学习项目，在校场之上建造一片一万平方英尺的城市草原。)”可知，校园缺少蝴蝶的食物来源，促使人们打造这片草原。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Located across the parking lot and behind the bus garage, it’s been the optimal site because it’s easily accessible but out of the way of daily traffic.(这片区域位于停车场对面、公交车车库后方，它成为the optimal site，因为交通便利，又不会受到日常车流的干扰。)”可知，这片地点兼顾通行便利与免受车流打扰的条件，因此，画线短语“the optimal site”意为“最合适的地点”符合语境。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“For example, every September, all 19 partnering schools do a Prairie Bioblitz, where we take pictures of all the living things that we can find and upload them to an app called iNaturalist.(例如，每年九月，全部19所合作学校都会开展草原生物普查活动，大家拍摄所有能发现的生物，并上传至iNaturalist应用程序。)”可知，该活动目的是记录城市草原范围内的生物多样性。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“Mike Dick, a seventh-grade teacher at Gateway Middle School, was named Outstanding Conservation Educator for his efforts in helping the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶) population.(迈克・迪克，盖特威中学一名七年级教师，被授予杰出保护教育者称号，因为他为助力黑脉金斑蝶种群所付出的努力。)”与尾段的“Our prairies not only make them aware of the environment, but also show the kids what role they can play in protecting and conserving our natural resources(我们的草原不仅让他们认识环境，也向孩子们展示他们在保护和养护自然资源方面能够发挥什么样的作用)”可知，文章围绕校园城市草原项目展开，将草原生态建设与校园自然教育融合，保护黑脉金斑蝶，所以“The Butterfly Effect: Integrating Prairies and Campuses(蝴蝶效应：融合草原与校园)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C Imagine you’re at the beach when you spot a swimmer in trouble a little over half a mile away. Throwing a life ring that far is impossible, but flying one out? That’s where the TY-3R drone comes in, a brilliant product from Chinese drone company Didio k Makings. The idea is that when a struggling swimmer is spotted by shore-based rescuers, they’ll just fire up the drone, fly it out to the person and land it on the water, where the swimmer will use it as a floatation device. A slower-traveling human rescuer will then proceed out on a boat, to bring the individual back to shore. The TY-3R takes off with the push of a button on an included remote and provides the pilot with a real-time view from an onboard camera on its way out. Once the swimmer has been picked up and doesn’t require the drone for floatation anymore, another button push causes the aircraft to autonomously fly back to its take-off location — the drone is capable of taking off from the water, as well as landing on it. According to Didio k, the TY-3R can float up to two adults, has a communication range of 1.1 km, a top speed of 47 km/h and a runtime of over 10 minutes per battery charge. And yes, the TY-3R shuts off its motors upon landing on the water, plus it has screens over its propellers (螺旋桨) to further protect swimmers’ fingers and other body parts. It’s available now at the Didio k Makings website, priced at US$11,803. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first swimmer-rescuing drone we’ve seen. The Pars, Little Ripper, Auxdron and Project Ryptide system are also capable of performing the task, although they all do so by dropping separate floatation devices down to the person. 8. What is unique about the TY-3R? A. It can take off automatically. B. It can act as a life ring itself. C. It can replace human rescuers. D. It can bring the swimmer to a boat. 9. Which is a safety feature of the TY-3R? A. Flying at a particularly slow speed. B. Stopping its motors once in the water. C. Having cameras on its four propellers. D. Communicating with the swimmer by radio. 10. Why are the other drones mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the TY-3R’s advantage. B. To compare their price to the TY-3R’s. C. To discuss the history of rescue drones. D. To show the large market for rescue drones. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. A self-rescue guide. B. An inspiring company C. A technological innovation. D. A commercial for a new product. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍中国企业研发的TY-3R水上救援无人机，讲解其工作原理、安全性能，并对比其他同类救援设备。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The idea is that when a struggling swimmer is spotted by shore-based rescuers, they’ll just fire up the drone, fly it out to the person and land it on the water, where the swimmer will use it as a floatation device.(这个构想是，当岸上救援人员发现一名挣扎的游泳者时，他们只需启动无人机，将它飞至该人员上空并降落在水面，游泳者将把它用作漂浮设备。)”以及最后一段“The Pars, Little Ripper, Auxdron and Project Ryptide system are also capable of performing the task, although they all do so by dropping separate floatation devices down to the person.(Pars、Little Ripper、Auxdron以及Project Ryptide系统同样能够执行这项任务，尽管它们全都依靠向人员投放独立的漂浮装置完成作业。)” 可知，TY-3R自身可以充当救生圈，这是它独有的特点。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And yes, the TY-3R shuts off its motors upon landing on the water, plus it has screens over its propellers (螺旋桨) to further protect swimmers’ fingers and other body parts.(没错，TY-3R落在水面时会关闭电机，同时螺旋桨外设有防护网，进一步保护游泳者的手指与身体部位。)”可知，落入水中自动关闭电机是该无人机的一项安全设计。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first swimmer-rescuing drone we’ve seen. The Pars, Little Ripper, Auxdron and Project Ryptide system are also capable of performing the task, although they all do so by dropping separate floatation devices down to the person.(不足为奇，这并非我们见过的首款救援游泳者无人机。Pars、Little Ripper、Auxdron以及Project Ryptide系统同样能够执行这项任务，尽管它们全都依靠向人员投放独立的漂浮装置完成作业。)”可知，文章列举其他救援无人机，通过对比凸显TY-3R自身可作为漂浮装置这一独特优势。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“That’s where the TY-3R drone comes in, a brilliant product from Chinese drone company Didio k Makings.(这正是TY-3R无人机发挥作用之处，它是中国无人机企业Didio k Makings推出的一款出色产品。)”可知，文章详细介绍TY-3R救援无人机的工作方式、性能参数、安全设计，同时与其他救援无人机进行对比，展现这款救援无人机的创新之处，因此本文主要介绍一项科技创新成果。 D Forty years ago, memory expert Donald Homa tested the reading skills of two people, who claimed they could read over 100,000 words per minute — ten times faster than typical readers. In the lab, he tasked the two men with speed reading a text then taking a multiple-choice test to assess their comprehension. After finishing the text in mere minutes, they took the test and absolutely bombed. This episode exemplifies (例证) what scientists have broadly learned about speed reading: It doesn’t work. For well over a half-century, speed reading courses all promise to significantly boost one’s reading ability without harming comprehension. Supporters claim people can become speed readers by learning to take in more words with less eye movement and by silencing their inner speech that accompanies reading. Summarizing decades of research in an article published in 2020, an all-star team of scientists disproved both of these principles. First, how human vision works simply doesn’t allow us to see words on the edge of our visual field with enough clarity to fully take in their meaning. Thus, the idea that whole blocks of words can be understood at a glance is nonsensical. Second, sounds are key to language, so translating visual information into sound form, even just in one’s head, is necessary for complete understanding of written words. Still, those behind speed reading programs point to data showing that their students’ reading speed improves while maintaining comprehension. Pupils are given a pre-test and a post-test and generally experience sizable improvement. “Sometimes the pre-test is harder than the post-test, and other times trainees are tested repeatedly on the same material. In both cases, it is certain that their performance will be better on the post-test merely because of the relative difficulty of the tests or because of repeated exposure,” concluded the authors of the 2020 report. So if speed reading is ineffective, is there any way to read more quickly? The answer is to read more, along with expanding one’s vocabulary. Like a pianist playing every day for years, a basketball player taking endless shots, or a pilot spending thousands of hours in the air, expertise takes time. Reading ability cannot be taught via a 12-week training program. 12. How did the two men handle the test? A. They performed poorly. B. They repeated the whole text. C. They finished it in no time. D. They showed good understanding. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Reasons why speed reading fails. B. Factors that limit our reading speed. C. Impacts of sounds on comprehension. D. Strategies for becoming a speed reader. 14. What can we learn about the tests used by speed reading programs? A. They show a real improvement in reading ability. B. They focus on reading rate assessment. C. They are too easy for the students. D. They guarantee desired results. 15. What message do the three professions in the last paragraph indicate? A. Well begun is half done. B. Practice makes perfect. C. One tree does not make a forest. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍科学研究表明快速阅读难以奏效，分析其理论漏洞，并指出提升阅读能力只能依靠长期积累与大量阅读。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After finishing the text in mere minutes, they took the test and absolutely bombed.(两人只用几分钟读完文章，随后参加测试，结果考得一塌糊涂。)”可知，这两个人在测试里表现很差。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Summarizing decades of research in an article published in 2020, an all-star team of scientists disproved both of these principles. First, how human vision works simply doesn’t allow us to see words on the edge of our visual field with enough clarity to fully take in their meaning. Thus, the idea that whole blocks of words can be understood at a glance is nonsensical. Second, sounds are key to language, so translating visual information into sound form, even just in one’s head, is necessary for complete understanding of written words.(在 2020 年发表的一篇文章中，一支顶尖科学家团队总结了数十年的研究，推翻了这两条原理。首先，人类视觉的运作方式根本无法让我们足够清晰地看见视野边缘的文字，从而充分领会其含义。因此，一整段文字能够一眼看懂的观点是荒谬的。其次，声音是语言的关键，所以将视觉信息转化为声音形式——哪怕只是在脑海里转化——对于完整理解书面文字是必不可少的。)”可知，本段阐述快速阅读行不通的两大科学原因。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Sometimes the pre-test is harder than the post-test, and other times trainees are tested repeatedly on the same material. In both cases, it is certain that their performance will be better on the post-test merely because of the relative difficulty of the tests or because of repeated exposure.(有时候前测比后测更难，还有些时候受训者会针对相同材料被反复测试。在这两种情况中，可以确定他们在后测上的表现将会更好，仅仅是因为测试相对难度，或是因为反复接触。)”可知，这类测试设计存在漏洞，人为保证出现看上去理想的结果。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Like a pianist playing every day for years, a basketball player taking endless shots, or a pilot spending thousands of hours in the air, expertise takes time.(就像钢琴家常年每日练习、篮球运动员不停投篮、飞行员积累数千小时飞行时长，专业能力需要时间打磨。)”可知，三个职业事例意在说明坚持练习才能习得本领，对应谚语熟能生巧。 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。 Everyone has a story to tell. The challenge lies in getting that story out of your head and into print in a way that your audience can relate to. Here are several tips to refer to. Find an engaging topic. ___16___ Although the story itself is unique to the author’s experience, there’s some universal truth that speaks to us from just below the surface. Topics like facing a fear, overcoming a challenge, discovering something new, or making a difficult choice tackle feelings and events that happen in everyone’s life. Create an outline. All it takes to understand the importance of an outline is listening to someone who struggled to tell a personal story. ___17___ The switchbacks (转折) where the teller says “But wait, I have to tell you about this part, first!” are maddening and disturbing. An outline will help you organize your thoughts before committing them to text. ___18___ Close your eyes. Think of the scene you’re about to write down. What were you experiencing with your five senses? How did you feel? Your challenge is to describe those senses and feelings without flatly stating them. Don’t say “I felt cold.” Say “I pulled the blanket tight around my shoulders in a useless attempt to trap my body heat.” ___19___ Stephen King describes it as making the reader “prickle (感到刺痛) with recognition.” Create a thoughtful conclusion. Your essay should end with your own reflection and analysis. ___20___ You have to describe how whatever happened shaped you. Just as a good lead hooks readers and draws them along for the ride, a good conclusion releases them from your essay’s hold with a sense of pleasure, agreement, passion or some other sense of completion. A. Show, don’t tell. B. Consider others’ senses. C. The story is usually full of events. D. Often, the story seems to have no real point. E. The best essay topics are often deeply relatable. F. It’s not enough to say “And that’s what happened.” G. Your description should help the reader experience the cold with you. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍撰写个人故事的实用写作技巧，包括选取共鸣话题、搭建写作大纲、情景细节描写、打磨深度结尾等方法。 【16题详解】 根据本段小标题“Find an engaging topic.(找到吸引人的话题。)”以及空后的 “Although the story itself is unique to the author’s experience, there’s some universal truth that speaks to us from just below the surface.(虽然故事本身是作者独有的个人经历，但在表象之下存在着能打动所有人的普遍真理。)”可知，本段围绕写作选材展开论述，着重强调优质写作话题的核心特点是具有普遍性、能引发读者共鸣。E选项“The best essay topics are often deeply relatable (最好的作文话题往往极具共鸣感)”精准贴合本段主旨，承接小标题引出段落核心观点，句中relatable与后文universal truth相互呼应，完美引出后文各类大众化写作题材，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“All it takes to understand the importance of an outline is listening to someone who struggled to tell a personal story.(想要理解大纲的重要性，只需听听那些讲述个人故事时磕磕绊绊、思路混乱的人。)”以及空后的“The switchbacks (转折) where the teller says “But wait, I have to tell you about this part, first!” are maddening and disturbing.(讲述者反复颠倒叙事顺序、穿插内容的混乱讲述方式，令人烦躁、干扰理解。)”可知，此处侧重讲解没有写作大纲会出现的问题，前文铺垫叙事混乱的现象，后文具体说明逻辑颠倒的弊端。D选项“Often, the story seems to have no real point (通常情况下，这样的故事看起来毫无重点)” 承接前文无大纲导致的叙事混乱，点明缺少大纲的核心弊端，衔接后文逻辑混乱、语序颠倒的具体表现，符合语境。 【18题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处为本段的小标题，与上下文段落小标题格式一致，用于总领全段主旨。根据空后的“Don’t say “I felt cold.” Say “I pulled the blanket tight around my shoulders in a useless attempt to trap my body heat.”(不要直白地说“我感到很冷”，而要描写“我紧紧裹紧毯子，徒劳地想要留住身上的体温”。)”可知，本段核心写作原则是拒绝直白抒情、直白陈述，而是通过细节场景描写烘托情绪，让读者自行感受。A选项“Show, don’t tell (展示，而非直白诉说)”是经典写作技巧，精准概括本段全部内容，句式简洁贴合全文小标题格式，能够统领本段举例内容，适合作本段小标题。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Don’t say “I felt cold.” Say “I pulled the blanket tight around my shoulders in a useless attempt to trap my body heat.”(不要直白地说“我感到很冷”，而要描写“我紧紧裹紧毯子，徒劳地想要留住身上的体温”。)”以及空后的“Stephen King describes it as making the reader “prickle (感到刺痛) with recognition.”(斯蒂芬·金将这种写法形容为让读者产生深刻的共鸣与代入感。)”可知，前文列举了具象化细节描写的具体案例，后文阐述该写法的效果，空格处需要承接案例，解释细节描写的核心作用。G选项“Your description should help the reader experience the cold with you (你的描写应该让读者身临其境，和你一同感受这份寒冷)”承接前文冷暖描写的实例，点明“展示而非诉说”的写作目的，衔接后文读者产生共鸣的写作效果，逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Your essay should end with your own reflection and analysis.(你的文章结尾应当包含个人的反思和分析。)”以及空后的“You have to describe how whatever happened shaped you.(你必须阐述过往的经历如何塑造、改变了你。)”可知，本段讲解文章结尾的写作要求，强调结尾不能简单收尾，必须有深度思考和自我感悟。F选项“It’s not enough to say “And that’s what happened.” (仅仅简单陈述“事情就是这样”是远远不够的)” 否定了平淡、无思考的无效结尾方式，承接前文结尾需有反思的要求，自然引出后文结尾要升华主旨、感悟成长的内容，符合语境。 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。 If you’re afraid of looking silly in public, this woman’s social experiment might just help.

We had enjoyed ourselves together and had supper in his home. It was dark when we began to return home. On the way home, we found a box of abandoned kittens. There were six of the little cats with no mama around, and their mew indicated they were hungry. They were very young, and their eyes were not even open. It was too late. We found a local hotel and decided to leave for home the next morning. With the owner’s permission, we brought them into the room, got them warm, and cleaned them up. My son Tom started searching on the Internet eagerly about what we needed to do. It was the middle of the night, and we were in a rural area. We couldn’t find a local vet (兽医). The Internet told us that, if necessary, we needed to get a specific type of milk, and we could feed them using a plastic syringe (注射器). Off to the nearest 24-hour convenience store I went — thirty miles away. I found the milk, but I couldn’t find any syringe. I asked at the counter. The cashier said, “I need a prescription (处方), and then I can give the syringe to you.” Suddenly, I realized how I made a mistake. I explained, “Wait! It is not for me! That’s for the kittens!” The cashier asked, “The kittens?” I asked if the place had Wi-Fi, and I got access. Then, I video-called my husband and showed the cashier the kittens. I explained, “These little guys needed to be fed as soon as possible. The Internet told me they were too young to lick up milk on their own, so they needed a syringe.” 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 cashier’s initially skeptical expression softened as she watched the video call. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filled with gratitude for the cashier’s compassion and quick thinking, I hurried back to the hotel. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： The cashier’s initially skeptical expression softened as she watched the video call. On the screen, six tiny kittens huddled together with their eyes sealed shut, mewing weakly. Once realizing the urgency of the situation, the cashier’s eyes lit up with quick thinking. “Wait here,” she said, already disappearing into the back. Within a minute, she returned with a small box. “Inside are syringes that I keep for my baby,” she explained, handing the box to me, “Take it and take good care of them.” Firmly holding the precious box, I thanked her repeatedly and left with the determination to help them survive. Filled with gratitude for the cashier’s compassion and quick thinking, I hurried back to the hotel. Upon my arrival, Tom anxiously grabbed the syringes. Following the instructions, we carefully fed the kittens with the special milk using the syringe. Their tiny mouths eagerly sucked the milk, and soon their tiny bellies filled and their mewling softened. Seeing them snuggle up close to each other for warmth and sleep soundly, Tom whispered with a relieved smile, “We made it!” Despite the late hour and the challenges we faced, a sense of fulfillment washed over us, knowing that we had given these abandoned kittens a fighting chance at life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者一家冬日返程途中发现一窝失明饥饿的遗弃幼猫，连夜留宿乡村酒店救助。因缺少喂食注射器，作者驱车远赴便利店采购，却因购买限制受阻，最终通过视频展示幼猫困境、真诚求助，顺利获得帮助，成功救助幼猫的暖心故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写收银员看完视频打消疑虑、心生善意，主动拿出自用注射器无偿赠予作者。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者赶回酒店和儿子小心喂食幼猫，幼猫安稳入睡，二人收获满满的成就感与温暖。 2. 续写线索：打消疑虑——心生善意——赠予工具——心怀感激——赶回酒店——细心喂食——幼猫安稳——收获感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①归还/带回：return/bring back ②喂养：feed/nourish 情绪类 ①焦急：anxious/worried/concerned ②宽慰：relieved/alleviated 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Once realizing the urgency of the situation, the cashier’s eyes lit up with quick thinking.（运用了状语从句的省略） [高分句型 2] Filled with gratitude for the cashier’s compassion and quick thinking, I hurried back to the hotel.（运用了过去分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

B Mike Dick, a seventh-grade teacher at Gateway Middle School, was named Outstanding Conservation Educator for his efforts in helping the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶) population. Six years ago, Dick and his students did a little monarch research and found out just how dramatically their numbers were falling. Educators from Toledo Zoo brought several butterflies to Gateway for his students to tag (加标签) and release. “That’s when we realized that we had no milkweed — or anything else — here on Gateway’s campus for the butterflies to eat,” Dick explained. In response to it, he and his students, along with the help of Toledo Zoo and teachers at Gateway, engaged in a problem-based learning project to create a 10,000-square-foot urban prairie (草原) on the school grounds. Located across the parking lot and behind the bus garage, it’s been the optimal site because it’s easily accessible but out of the way of daily traffic. “We have a wide variety of birds, butterflies and bugs in that little space, and all kinds of unique plants,” Dick said. This was the original Prairie Project. Since then, they have added several schools and members and now have 19 buildings with a total of about 7.5 acres of prairie. Throughout the process, Toledo Zoo has been an amazing partner. Toledo Zoo’s curator (负责人) of education Mitch Magdich teamed up with Dick to write standards-based lessons for grades 1-8, making it easier for teachers to use their prairies as outdoor classrooms and lab spaces. “For example, every September, all 19 partnering schools do a Prairie Bioblitz, where we take pictures of all the living things that we can find and upload them to an app called iNaturalist. This is always a rewarding experience!” Dick said. “I think our little prairie spaces are providing meaningful, hands-on experiences that are truly unique. Kids today are actively looking for ways to make a difference. Our prairies not only make them aware of the environment, but also show the kids what role they can play in protecting and conserving our natural resources,” Dick said. 4. What led to the creation of the Gateway prairie? A. A systematic study on milkweed. B. A decline in the monarch butterfly population. C. A lack of food sources for butterflies on campus. D. A recommendation from Toledo Zoo educators. 5. What do the underlined words “the optimal site” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The most suitable place. B. The quietest location. C. The largest possible area. D. The least frequented spot. 6. What is the purpose of the Prairie Bioblitz? A. To reward those finding the most species. B. To protect endangered species in urban prairies. C. To record the biodiversity within urban prairies. D. To clean up the prairies and remove harmful species. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Journey in Education: The Life of Mike Dick B. Urban Prairies: The Home to Monarch Butterflies C. A Day at Toledo Zoo: Nature Education for Students D. The Butterfly Effect: Integrating Prairies and Campuses C Imagine you’re at the beach when you spot a swimmer in trouble a little over half a mile away. Throwing a life ring that far is impossible, but flying one out? That’s where the TY-3R drone comes in, a brilliant product from Chinese drone company Didio k Makings. The idea is that when a struggling swimmer is spotted by shore-based rescuers, they’ll just fire up the drone, fly it out to the person and land it on the water, where the swimmer will use it as a floatation device. A slower-traveling human rescuer will then proceed out on a boat, to bring the individual back to shore. The TY-3R takes off with the push of a button on an included remote and provides the pilot with a real-time view from an onboard camera on its way out. Once the swimmer has been picked up and doesn’t require the drone for floatation anymore, another button push causes the aircraft to autonomously fly back to its take-off location — the drone is capable of taking off from the water, as well as landing on it. According to Didio k, the TY-3R can float up to two adults, has a communication range of 1.1 km, a top speed of 47 km/h and a runtime of over 10 minutes per battery charge. And yes, the TY-3R shuts off its motors upon landing on the water, plus it has screens over its propellers (螺旋桨) to further protect swimmers’ fingers and other body parts. It’s available now at the Didio k Makings website, priced at US$11,803. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first swimmer-rescuing drone we’ve seen. The Pars, Little Ripper, Auxdron and Project Ryptide system are also capable of performing the task, although they all do so by dropping separate floatation devices down to the person. 8. What is unique about the TY-3R? A. It can take off automatically. B. It can act as a life ring itself. C. It can replace human rescuers. D. It can bring the swimmer to a boat. 9. Which is a safety feature of the TY-3R? A. Flying at a particularly slow speed. B. Stopping its motors once in the water. C. Having cameras on its four propellers. D. Communicating with the swimmer by radio. 10. Why are the other drones mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the TY-3R’s advantage. B. To compare their price to the TY-3R’s. C. To discuss the history of rescue drones. D. To show the large market for rescue drones. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. A self-rescue guide. B. An inspiring company C. A technological innovation. D. A commercial for a new product. D Forty years ago, memory expert Donald Homa tested the reading skills of two people, who claimed they could read over 100,000 words per minute — ten times faster than typical readers. In the lab, he tasked the two men with speed reading a text then taking a multiple-choice test to assess their comprehension. After finishing the text in mere minutes, they took the test and absolutely bombed. This episode exemplifies (例证) what scientists have broadly learned about speed reading: It doesn’t work. For well over a half-century, speed reading courses all promise to significantly boost one’s reading ability without harming comprehension. Supporters claim people can become speed readers by learning to take in more words with less eye movement and by silencing their inner speech that accompanies reading. Summarizing decades of research in an article published in 2020, an all-star team of scientists disproved both of these principles. First, how human vision works simply doesn’t allow us to see words on the edge of our visual field with enough clarity to fully take in their meaning. Thus, the idea that whole blocks of words can be understood at a glance is nonsensical. Second, sounds are key to language, so translating visual information into sound form, even just in one’s head, is necessary for complete understanding of written words. Still, those behind speed reading programs point to data showing that their students’ reading speed improves while maintaining comprehension. Pupils are given a pre-test and a post-test and generally experience sizable improvement. “Sometimes the pre-test is harder than the post-test, and other times trainees are tested repeatedly on the same material. In both cases, it is certain that their performance will be better on the post-test merely because of the relative difficulty of the tests or because of repeated exposure,” concluded the authors of the 2020 report. So if speed reading is ineffective, is there any way to read more quickly? The answer is to read more, along with expanding one’s vocabulary. Like a pianist playing every day for years, a basketball player taking endless shots, or a pilot spending thousands of hours in the air, expertise takes time. Reading ability cannot be taught via a 12-week training program. 12. How did the two men handle the test? A. They performed poorly. B. They repeated the whole text. C. They finished it in no time. D. They showed good understanding. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Reasons why speed reading fails. B. Factors that limit our reading speed. C. Impacts of sounds on comprehension. D. Strategies for becoming a speed reader. 14. What can we learn about the tests used by speed reading programs? A. They show a real improvement in reading ability. B. They focus on reading rate assessment. C. They are too easy for the students. D. They guarantee desired results. 15. What message do the three professions in the last paragraph indicate? A. Well begun is half done. B. Practice makes perfect. C. One tree does not make a forest. D. Actions speak louder than words. 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。 Everyone has a story to tell. The challenge lies in getting that story out of your head and into print in a way that your audience can relate to. Here are several tips to refer to. Find an engaging topic. ___16___ Although the story itself is unique to the author’s experience, there’s some universal truth that speaks to us from just below the surface. Topics like facing a fear, overcoming a challenge, discovering something new, or making a difficult choice tackle feelings and events that happen in everyone’s life. Create an outline. All it takes to understand the importance of an outline is listening to someone who struggled to tell a personal story. ___17___ The switchbacks (转折) where the teller says “But wait, I have to tell you about this part, first!” are maddening and disturbing. An outline will help you organize your thoughts before committing them to text. ___18___ Close your eyes. Think of the scene you’re about to write down. What were you experiencing with your five senses? How did you feel? Your challenge is to describe those senses and feelings without flatly stating them. Don’t say “I felt cold.” Say “I pulled the blanket tight around my shoulders in a useless attempt to trap my body heat.” ___19___ Stephen King describes it as making the reader “prickle (感到刺痛) with recognition.” Create a thoughtful conclusion. Your essay should end with your own reflection and analysis. ___20___ You have to describe how whatever happened shaped you. Just as a good lead hooks readers and draws them along for the ride, a good conclusion releases them from your essay’s hold with a sense of pleasure, agreement, passion or some other sense of completion. A. Show, don’t tell. B. Consider others’ senses. C. The story is usually full of events. D. Often, the story seems to have no real point. E. The best essay topics are often deeply relatable. F. It’s not enough to say “And that’s what happened.” G. Your description should help the reader experience the cold with you. 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。 If you’re afraid of looking silly in public, this woman’s social experiment might just help.

We had enjoyed ourselves together and had supper in his home. It was dark when we began to return home. On the way home, we found a box of abandoned kittens. There were six of the little cats with no mama around, and their mew indicated they were hungry. They were very young, and their eyes were not even open. It was too late. We found a local hotel and decided to leave for home the next morning. With the owner’s permission, we brought them into the room, got them warm, and cleaned them up. My son Tom started searching on the Internet eagerly about what we needed to do. It was the middle of the night, and we were in a rural area. We couldn’t find a local vet (兽医). The Internet told us that, if necessary, we needed to get a specific type of milk, and we could feed them using a plastic syringe (注射器). Off to the nearest 24-hour convenience store I went — thirty miles away. I found the milk, but I couldn’t find any syringe. I asked at the counter. The cashier said, “I need a prescription (处方), and then I can give the syringe to you.” Suddenly, I realized how I made a mistake. I explained, “Wait! It is not for me! That’s for the kittens!” The cashier asked, “The kittens?” I asked if the place had Wi-Fi, and I got access. Then, I video-called my husband and showed the cashier the kittens. I explained, “These little guys needed to be fed as soon as possible. The Internet told me they were too young to lick up milk on their own, so they needed a syringe.” 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 cashier’s initially skeptical expression softened as she watched the video call. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filled with gratitude for the cashier’s compassion and quick thinking, I hurried back to the hotel. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
