Below are stories from some of the scientists who are involved in the program.Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家) “I have a black belt in Taekwondo (跆拳道). I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika epidemic, Al-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy.

On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza was headed out fishing. He found surprisingly that an oil spill had polluted the waters badly. Staring out at the waves, he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking the beach, he found a struggling penguin, covered by oil and starving. Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim. Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to breed (繁殖), they must return to Patagonia, an island 8,000 miles away from Pereira’s home. Pereira patiently took Dindim back to the ocean and taught him how to swim again. Soon enough, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time he saw him. But the next June, Dindim returned. The two shared a tender beak-to-nose greeting, and Dindim stayed for a month, walking heavily and clumsily (笨拙地) around Pereira’s house. It was time for Dindim to leave, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But 11 months later, the penguin with a long memory returned again. It is a common belief among scientists that animals have short memories. So a couple of them put a tracking device on Dindim to see if it was indeed the same penguin that returned year after year. To their surprise, Dindim returned, year after year, for more than a decade. Love creates so deep a bond (纽带) that we can’t always explain it. It’s just something we feel, something we long to provide. And when we do, it lasts much longer than we ever expected. 24．(2.5分)What caused Dindim to get hurt? A．A hurricane. B．A fight with Pereira. C．An oil spill. D．An unknown disease. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer from paragraph 4? A．Dindim is a forgettable penguin. B．Dindim returned to Pereira for food. C．Pereira wished Dindim not to return. D．Pereira and Dindim loved each other. 26．(2.5分)What did the scientists think of Dindim’s story? A．Unbelievable. B．Inspiring. C．Original. D．Typical. 27．(2.5分)What does the text tell us? A．Time and tide wait for no man. B．Success belongs to the persevering. C．Love creates a bond and relationship. D．All things are difficult before they are easy. （本题10分）A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 28．(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A．He mastered at least three foreign languages. B．He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C．He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize. D．He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Particular. B．Satisfied. C．Inventive. D．Productive. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A．To recommend Xu’s translation works. B．To stress the charm of Chinese poetry. C．To show Xu’s great translation skills. D．To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Xu? A．Thoughtful and modest. B．Generous and objective C．Creative and open-minded. D．Devoted and hard-working. （本题10分）Global sea levels continue to rise, posing a significant threat to coastal populations worldwide. Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that, compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 32．(2.5分)What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A．Energy crisis. B．Potential disasters. C．Tourism expansion. D．Overcrowded cities. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A．Adaptable and innovative. B．Fictional and renewable. C．Eco-friendly and immovable. D．Wave-resistant and conventional. 34．(2.5分)A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A．its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B．it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C．its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D．its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B．Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C．Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D．Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo. （本题12.5分）How to Make the World a Better Place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. 36(2.5分) Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 People of Achievement（较易版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What is Ryan most excited about?

C．Food. 19．(1.5分)What is Silent Spring mainly about? A．The effects of birds’ unusual behavior. B．The improvements in farming practices. C．The connection between humans and nature. 20．(1.5分)What does the speaker suggest? A．Printing books by Carson. B．Stopping using chemicals. C．Reflecting on Carson’s message. 【答案】18．A 19．C 20．C 【原文】 Rachel Carson is the first scientist who gets people thinking about the way we humans are causing everlasting damage to the Earth. At first, she wrote books about oceans, but gradually she became aware of the danger of chemicals like DDT and the way they can harm the whole of the food chain. She wrote her classic book Silent Spring in 1962 to explain how humans and nature are connected. The title of Silent Spring refers to the fact that one day all the birds might be dead so they won’t be able to sing in the springtime. The agricultural and chemical industries reacted very badly to the book and said she was unprofessional. But further research by other scientists proved that she was right about the dangers of chemicals used to kill insects. Nowadays there is an improvement in farming practices, but unfortunately things in general are still getting worse, rather than better. We still need to read Rachel Carson’s book and think about its message. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）A project called “I Am A Scientist” is giving middle and high school students the opportunity to interact with modern-day researchers.

On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza was headed out fishing. He found surprisingly that an oil spill had polluted the waters badly. Staring out at the waves, he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking the beach, he found a struggling penguin, covered by oil and starving. Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim. Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to breed (繁殖), they must return to Patagonia, an island 8,000 miles away from Pereira’s home. Pereira patiently took Dindim back to the ocean and taught him how to swim again. Soon enough, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time he saw him. But the next June, Dindim returned. The two shared a tender beak-to-nose greeting, and Dindim stayed for a month, walking heavily and clumsily (笨拙地) around Pereira’s house. It was time for Dindim to leave, and Pereira thought this surely would be the last time he would see Dindim. But 11 months later, the penguin with a long memory returned again. It is a common belief among scientists that animals have short memories. So a couple of them put a tracking device on Dindim to see if it was indeed the same penguin that returned year after year. To their surprise, Dindim returned, year after year, for more than a decade. Love creates so deep a bond (纽带) that we can’t always explain it. It’s just something we feel, something we long to provide. And when we do, it lasts much longer than we ever expected. 24．(2.5分)What caused Dindim to get hurt? A．A hurricane. B．A fight with Pereira. C．An oil spill. D．An unknown disease. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer from paragraph 4? A．Dindim is a forgettable penguin. B．Dindim returned to Pereira for food. C．Pereira wished Dindim not to return.

His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 28．(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A．He mastered at least three foreign languages. B．He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C．He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.

Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that, compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 32．(2.5分)What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A．Energy crisis. B．Potential disasters. C．Tourism expansion. D．Overcrowded cities. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A．Adaptable and innovative. B．Fictional and renewable. C．Eco-friendly and immovable. D．Wave-resistant and conventional. 34．(2.5分)A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A．its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B．it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C．its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D．its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B．Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C．Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D．Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo. 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Luca Curci建筑事务所为应对海平面上升带来的沿海灾害威胁，提出的“漂浮城市”设计方案，阐述了该设计的结构特点、环保优势，同时分析了其面临的挑战，并点明该设计体现的与自然和谐共生的城市建设理念。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”可知，潜在的灾害促使该事务所推出新设计。故选B。 33．推理判断题。根据第一段“This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters.(该设计使城市区域能够适应不断上升的水位，直接应对这些日益严重的灾害。)”以及第二段“A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators.(其关键创新点在于安全系统：极端天气下，平台能借鉴鱼群躲避捕食者的方式自动分离并重新组合。)”可知，该设计兼具适应性与创新性。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually.(在技术层面，持续暴露在海水中会损坏材料，研究表明平台表面每年可能有高达15%的部分需要维修。)”可知，该项目的一大局限是结构因受海水侵蚀需定期维修。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”以及第五段“Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. ‘Cities must learn to dance with the waves,’ Curci concludes.(与对抗自然的刚性海堤不同，这些动态结构旨在与海洋节奏和谐共生。Curci总结道：‘城市必须学会与海浪共舞。’)”可知，文章核心是介绍随潮汐发展的漂浮城市设计。B“随潮而起：漂浮的城市。”符合主题，适合用作标题，故选B。 （本题12.5分）How to Make the World a Better Place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. 36(2.5分) Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

In 1998, British 41 Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a 42 goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of 43 . What he didn’t know then was that it would stretch into a remarkable 27-year journey 44 continents, oceans, and history itself. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, 45 polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating 46 visa setbacks, the 56-year-old ex-paratrooper (前伞兵) is 47 on the home stretch. Bushby began his adventure in Chile, trekking (跋涉) north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he 48 one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. 49 with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to 50 between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done. His 51 didn’t stop there. Bushby was held in Russia for entering incorrectly and banned for five years. Sponsorships 52 during the 2008 financial crisis. The pandemic stopped his progress.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.     After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语) 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
