She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue. Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings. After the Civil War Susan became very involved in the Women’s Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the US Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights. Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar. 4. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born? A. They could vote after getting married. B. They had a low social status. C. They managed money for their husbands. D. They were responsible for decision-making. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Susan’s teaching experiences. B. Susan’s educational background. C. Susan’s fighting for women’s causes. D. Susan’s efforts to abolish slavery. 6. What does the word “decision” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. Giving women voting rights. B. Changing the US Constitution. C. Promoting the social movement. D. Uniting other areas and states. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. The first American woman to invent coins B. A pioneer in fighting for women’s rights C. The problem of women rights in the US D. The most popular women organizations 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了苏珊·安东尼在早期为女性争取财产、教育及投票权而奋斗，是美国女权运动的重要先驱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. (那时，女性几乎没有权利。她们不能拥有财产。已婚女性挣的钱归丈夫所有。有关孩子的重要决定由父亲做出。女性不能投票。)”可知，苏珊出生时，美国女性权利很少，社会地位低下。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings. (然后她开始组织妇女团体，推动对女性重要的事业。她帮助女性获得更好的教育权。她帮助已婚女性拥有自己的收入。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Susan为争取妇女各项权利和事业所做出的努力和斗争。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. (经过苏珊和其他女性多年的演讲、写作和呼吁，美国一些地区修改了法律，赋予女性投票权。第一个州是1869年的怀俄明州。其他地区和州逐渐效仿怀俄明州的decision。)”可知，怀俄明州做出的“决定”正是前文提到的“赋予女性投票权”，随后其他地区和州也效仿了这一做法。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue. (苏珊·布朗内尔·安东尼是一位超越时代的女士。早在女权成为热门议题之前，她就在为女性权利奋斗。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讲述苏珊·安东尼一生中为争取妇女教育权、财产权以及投票权所做出的杰出贡献。因此，“争取妇女权利的先驱”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。 C Three researchers from Harvard Business School, the University of London and the University of British Columbia have found that college graduates who value time over money report being happier a year later than those who report the reverse (相反). In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Ashley Whillans, Lucia Macchia and Elizabeth Dunn, describe their study and what they learned from it. Most people who have lived for a long time know that there is very often a trade-off (权衡) between doing things that make you happy and doing things to make it possible — like earning more money. For those who are still young and in the process of making major life decisions, the trade-off might not be so obvious. In this new effort, the researchers sought to learn more about the decision-making processes of people about to graduate college, and how those decisions affected their level of happiness just a year later. The researchers administered a two-part survey to the volunteers. The first part asked questions regarding whether they valued time over money or vice versa (相反). They also asked them to rate how happy they were. The first part of the survey was given to 1,000 volunteer students while they were still in college. The second part, which was identical to the first, was given to the same people one year later. The researchers report that in the first survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents reported valuing time over money — a year later, they found that the ratio (比率) had changed somewhat. Fourteen percent of those who had reported valuing money over time switched their answer, while 13 percent of those who had first reported valuing time over money switched. The researchers also reported that those students who had reported valuing money over time while still in school tended to accept jobs that were more income-focused, while those who chose time over money were more focused on working in an environment that they liked. The researchers also found that those who reported valuing time over money on either survey rated themselves as happier than those who valued money over time. 8. The underlined word “those” refers to ________. A. people who work for a year B. college graduates C. college students D. common people 9. How did the researchers get the conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By studying previous figures. C. By doing experiments in the lab. D. By collecting information from volunteers 10. From the last paragraph, we know that ________. A. The survey consists of only one part. B. A bit more graduates who had valued time over money changed their mind. C. Those who value time over money concern more about working environment. D. Those who chose money over time found they were happier. 11. Which do you think would be the proper title of the passage? A. A Study Conducted by Three Researchers B. College Graduates Are Happier C. How Should You Use Time and Money D. Time Beats Money in Bringing Happiness 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了三位研究人员对大学毕业生的一项调查研究，发现重视时间胜过金钱的毕业生在一年后比重视金钱胜过时间的人更快乐。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“college graduates who value time over money report being happier a year later than those who report the reverse (相反)(重视时间超过金钱的大学毕业生报告称，一年后他们比持相反观点的那些人更幸福)”可知，前文提到了大学毕业生，可推理出划线词those指代大学毕业生。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers administered a two‑part survey to the volunteers. The first part asked questions regarding whether they valued time over money or vice versa (相反). They also asked them to rate how happy they were. The first part of the survey was given to 1,000 volunteer students while they were still in college. The second part, which was identical to the first, was given to the same people one year later.(研究人员对志愿者开展分为两部分的调查。第一部分询问他们是看重时间胜于金钱还是反之，还让他们给自己的幸福感打分。第一份调查在 1000名学生还在读大学时完成，一年后对同一批人开展完全相同的第二份调查。)” 可知，研究人员通过收集志愿者的问卷信息得出结论。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers also reported that those students who had reported valuing money over time while still in school tended to accept jobs that were more income- focused, while those who chose time over money were more focused on working in an environment that they liked.(研究人员还报告称，在校时重视金钱超过时间的学生倾向于接受更以收入为导向的工作，而选择时间超过金钱的学生更关注在自己喜欢的工作环境中工作)”可知，重视时间超过金钱的人更关注工作环境。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Three researchers from Harvard Business School, the University of London and the University of British Columbia have found that college graduates who value time over money report being happier a year later than those who report the reverse (相反).(来自哈佛商学院、伦敦大学以及不列颠哥伦比亚大学的三位研究人员发现：相较于那些看重金钱胜过时间的大学毕业生，把时间看得比金钱更重要的毕业生，在一年后自述幸福感更高。)”可知全文围绕看重时间能带来更高幸福感展开，强调重视时间比重视金钱能带来更高的幸福感，选项D“Time Beats Money in Bringing Happiness(在带来幸福感方面，时间胜过金钱)”最贴合文章主旨，适合作为本文标题。 D Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals. Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar. China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays. But the game’s launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game’s default language is Chinese and added, “It feels so good.” The global interest in the game also highlighted China’s push to exercise its “soft power.” The novel that it is based on is considered one of China’s four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China. “The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article. 12. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong? A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements. B. It shifts China’s gaming towards consoles. C. It features a world born of pure imagination. D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth. 13. What challenge has China’s gaming industry faced recently? A. Insufficient budget for game development. B. Increasing popularity of smartphone games. C. China’s lack of emphasis on cultural soft power. D. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The game targets Western audience with its cultural themes. B. The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide. C. The game’s success is a way to boost China’s economic growth. D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China’s Youth C. The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture D. Black Myth: Wukong’s Influence on Game Mechanics 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了主机游戏《黑神话：悟空》以及该游戏和中国文化之间的关系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console（主机游戏）or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers.(中国的电子游戏行业主要是在智能手机上玩的游戏，而不是在全球发行的大预算游戏机或PC游戏。然而，《黑神话：悟空》标志着一个转变，因为它最初是在索尼的PlayStation 5和个人电脑上发布的。)”可知，《黑神话:悟空》改变了中国的游戏平台。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.(近年来，中国的这个行业面临着巨大的挑战。政府已经实施了严格的规定来控制游戏，因为担心孩子们可能会上瘾并产生负面影响。例如，北京出台了规定，禁止年轻人在上学期间玩网络游戏，并对周末和节假日的游戏时间进行了严格限制。)”可知，中国游戏产业最近面临的挑战是政府限制青少年玩游戏的时间。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article.(“《黑神话:悟空》的成功不仅是游戏行业的胜利，也是中国文化海外扩张的一个重要里程碑，”国有报纸《羊城晚报》在一篇文章中写道。)”可知，这个游戏是向世界展示中国文化的一大步。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了主机游戏《黑神话：悟空》以及该游戏和中国文化之间的关系，所以用A项“Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador(文化大使——《黑神话：悟空》)。”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 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。 How is eating in space different from eating on Earth? If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it? Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space. First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). ___16___ Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy. ___17___ If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly. The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill (洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. ___18___ A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous. ___19___ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. ___20___ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up. Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day. A. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables. B. Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission. C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible. D. Taste is also important. E. For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board. F. Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider. G. Finally, weight is an important concern. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍决定宇航员在太空中吃什么以及怎样吃需要考虑的几个因素。 【16题详解】 上文“First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养).

(味道也很重要)中的taste与后文的distasteful相对应，符合题意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 本段主旨句“The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. (宇宙飞船中缺乏重力也决定了在太空中什么食物可以吃，什么食物不可以吃。)”说明了重力也是宇航员饮食中需要考虑的因素之一；后文“A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous. (一把松动的刀在舱内弹跳是很危险的。)”说明了刀在太空舱到处弹跳是危险的；E选项：For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board (同样的原因，锋利的刀和人在船上从不使用。)中的knife与后文的knife相对应，the same reason就是指开头的The lack of gravity ，符合题意。故选E项。 【19题详解】 后文“The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again.

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty. He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor. My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too. 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。 Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father’s arrival and his response. Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, “You are my best flowers!” 【解析】 【分析】这篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家有一个阳台，这个阳台是他和他姐姐的玩耍的小天地，但更是爸爸的养植他心爱花的地方。爸爸每天下班回家就会去阳台那里照料他的花朵。 【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一天，爱着爸爸的姐姐有了一个好的主意……，所以应该写姐姐的这个主意是什么，应该怎么做来实现这个想法。要详细描述姐姐有这样想法的原因，姐姐和我怎么做，做了什么来实现这个姐姐的这个想法。第二段开头是：爸爸回家后，像往常一样直奔阳台，看到了他的花像死去的动物一样躺在那里……，这里应该写爸爸看到阳台的一片狼藉后做了些什么。爸爸看到阳台的花被弄的一片狼藉，感到十分愤怒，找到我和姐姐质问我们为什么会变成这样，勇敢的姐姐解释了这样做的初衷，但因为意外导致现在这样的状况并向爸爸道歉，当他们忐忑地等待着爸爸的责骂时，爸爸却是感动地把他们揽在怀里深情地说道：“你们就是我最好的花朵。” 续写时要求根据所给文章和段落开头，写一篇完整的短文，且所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：propose sb to do，what was worse，in a mess，storm into等 高级词汇；目的状语从句so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard， what we meant to do and how it ended up this way.两个并列宾语从句，questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. 非谓语引导的伴随状语。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 彭水一中高2026届高二（上）第二次月考 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue. Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings. After the Civil War Susan became very involved in the Women’s Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the US Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights. Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar. 4. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born? A. They could vote after getting married. B. They had a low social status. C. They managed money for their husbands. D. They were responsible for decision-making. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Susan’s teaching experiences. B. Susan’s educational background. C. Susan’s fighting for women’s causes. D. Susan’s efforts to abolish slavery. 6. What does the word “decision” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. Giving women voting rights. B. Changing the US Constitution. C. Promoting the social movement. D. Uniting other areas and states. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. The first American woman to invent coins B. A pioneer in fighting for women’s rights C. The problem of women rights in the US D. The most popular women organizations C Three researchers from Harvard Business School, the University of London and the University of British Columbia have found that college graduates who value time over money report being happier a year later than those who report the reverse (相反). In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Ashley Whillans, Lucia Macchia and Elizabeth Dunn, describe their study and what they learned from it. Most people who have lived for a long time know that there is very often a trade-off (权衡) between doing things that make you happy and doing things to make it possible — like earning more money. For those who are still young and in the process of making major life decisions, the trade-off might not be so obvious. In this new effort, the researchers sought to learn more about the decision-making processes of people about to graduate college, and how those decisions affected their level of happiness just a year later. The researchers administered a two-part survey to the volunteers. The first part asked questions regarding whether they valued time over money or vice versa (相反). They also asked them to rate how happy they were. The first part of the survey was given to 1,000 volunteer students while they were still in college. The second part, which was identical to the first, was given to the same people one year later. The researchers report that in the first survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents reported valuing time over money — a year later, they found that the ratio (比率) had changed somewhat. Fourteen percent of those who had reported valuing money over time switched their answer, while 13 percent of those who had first reported valuing time over money switched. The researchers also reported that those students who had reported valuing money over time while still in school tended to accept jobs that were more income-focused, while those who chose time over money were more focused on working in an environment that they liked. The researchers also found that those who reported valuing time over money on either survey rated themselves as happier than those who valued money over time. 8. The underlined word “those” refers to ________. A. people who work for a year B. college graduates C. college students D. common people 9. How did the researchers get the conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By studying previous figures. C. By doing experiments in the lab. D. By collecting information from volunteers 10. From the last paragraph, we know that ________. A. The survey consists of only one part. B. A bit more graduates who had valued time over money changed their mind. C. Those who value time over money concern more about working environment. D. Those who chose money over time found they were happier. 11. Which do you think would be the proper title of the passage? A. A Study Conducted by Three Researchers B. College Graduates Are Happier C. How Should You Use Time and Money D. Time Beats Money in Bringing Happiness D Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals. Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar. China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.

If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it? Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space. First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). ___16___ Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy. ___17___ If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly. The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill (洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. ___18___ A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous. ___19___ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. ___20___ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up. Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day. A. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables. B. Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission. C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible. D. Taste is also important. E. For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board. F. Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider. G. Finally, weight is an important concern. 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。 When I was 24, I moved to America, 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland.

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty. He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor. My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too. 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。 Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
