She completed this 4,100-mile crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in just over 97 days. Ms. Lachlan is 21 years old, and from the United Kingdom. She set off from Portugal in a special rowing boat on October 27, 2024. She would be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean with no one else to help her. The trip is an extreme challenge for anyone. And Ms. Lachlan wasn’t just new to ocean rowing, she was new to the ocean. “The first time I ever saw a fish in the ocean was on day six of my adventure trip,” she said. Ms. Lachlan had to clean the bottom of her boat regularly. That meant jumping into the ocean — something she didn’t enjoy at first, because she didn’t swim well. But Ms. Lachlan was determined. She faced many challenges along the way. Bad weather turned her boat over. An oar (桨) broke. After 40 days, her phone stopped working, and she couldn’t listen to music while she rowed anymore. Along the way, she hurt her arm, cut her leg, and broke a finger. At one point, she was nearly run over by a large ship. But there were many upsides, too. For Ms. Lachlan, the trip was a chance to see nature as few people ever do. The sunrises and night skies were “wonderful”. During the journey, Ms. Lachlan found dolphins, sharks, and even killer whales. After 97 days, 9 hours, and 20 minutes, Ms. Lachlan arrived in French Guiana, on the coast of South America. “Nobody knew I was coming in,” she said. “But I got clapped (鼓掌) by lots of fishermen from Brazil.” Ms. Lachlan nearly set a speed record for the journey. She missed that record by 19 hours. But in her heart, a deep-seated pride burned brightly. “I took on a huge challenge and won,” she said. 24. What can we know about Zara Lachlan according to the text? A. She was determined to complete the short trip. B. She had no experience in ocean rowing before. C. She came into close contact with killer whales. D. She didn’t receive any welcome at the destination. 25. What was one of the challenges Zara Lachlan faced during her trip? A. She ran out of food quickly. B. She lost her way in the ocean. C. Her phone broke after 40 days. D. Her boat was attacked by a shark. 26. How did Zara Lachlan feel about the fact that she missed that record? A. Still proud. B. Deeply worried. C. Quite angry. D. Extremely regretful. 27. What does Zara Lachlan’s experience show? A. Easy come, easy go. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述21岁英国女孩扎拉・拉克兰毫无海上划船经验，凭借坚定意志独自无补给划船横渡大西洋，途中历经天气、设备、身体等多重磨难，虽以微弱差距错失速度纪录，但依然为自己挑战并战胜困难感到无比自豪的励志故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And Ms. Lachlan wasn’t just new to ocean rowing, she was new to the ocean.(而拉克伦女士不仅从没试过海上划船，甚至对大海本身都十分陌生。)”可知，她之前没有海上划船的经验。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After 40 days, her phone stopped working, and she couldn’t listen to music while she rowed anymore.(出发40天后，她的手机坏了，划船时再也没法听音乐了。)”可知，她在旅途中遇到的最大挑战是出发40天后手机坏掉无法使用。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in her heart, a deep-seated pride burned brightly. “I took on a huge challenge and won,” she said.(但她内心深处，一股强烈的自豪感油然而生、无比炽热。她说：“我直面了巨大的挑战，并且战胜了它。”)”可知，错失记录后她内心仍然充满自豪感。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。文章重点描述了Zara如何克服重重困难（不会游泳、恶劣天气、设备故障、受伤等），最终完成独自跨洋划行。她的坚持和决心是成功的关键，完美契合谚语“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.(有志者事竟成。)”。 C Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 28. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 29. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 30. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint. C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍为何长时间不骑自行车仍能骑行这一现象及其背后的记忆原理。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys.(这很令人惊讶，因为我们的记忆在很多其他情况下会fall short，比如记住一个地方的名字、一个我们曾经认识的人，或者我们把钥匙放在哪里。)”可知，记住地名、人名等日常记忆容易出错，而骑自行车的记忆却很牢固，由此可推测“fall short”的意思与“失败，不足”意义相近。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.(语义记忆，也被称为事实记忆，是知道第二次世界大战于1945年结束。)”可知，知道法国的首都是事实记忆，属于语义记忆。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.(但为什么程序性记忆如此强大呢？这对科学来说还不太清楚，尽管苏坎写道，一个原因是大脑中形成运动模式的区域经历的神经细胞更新较少，这有助于保持对这些动作的回忆。)”可知，程序性记忆不太可能被遗忘。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?(那么，为什么我们多年不骑自行车，却还能骑呢？)”以及第二段中的“The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making.(答案与我们正在形成的记忆类型有关。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是解释一种现象的原因。故选D项。 D Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise. Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen. The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat. The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic. Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.” 32. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak? A. To introduce the feature of sound waves. B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting. C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak. D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting. 33. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4? A. Noise reduction is ineffective. B. Ship operators ignore guidelines. C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring. D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction. 34. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations? A. To address noise issues. B. To reduce fuel efficiency. C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines. D. To help measure influences on wildlife. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ships Slow Down for Whales. B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging. C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution. D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍越来越多的海洋噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来了困扰，为此，各方从多个角度投入力量改变这一现状。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是，现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷，使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么？船只交通噪音。)”可知，这里使用鲑鱼的隐形斗篷作为一个比喻，描述了船只交通噪音如何使得鲸鱼更难找到它们的食物，就像给鲑鱼穿上了一件隐形斗篷一样，由此可知，文中提到鲑鱼的隐形斗篷是为了表明鲸鱼捕食困难的境况。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began.(加拿大温哥华弗雷泽港务局在2023年报告说，在关键栖息地内，87%的船只为南部常驻鲸类减速或避让，这导致与2019年开始减速前相比，噪音水平降低了4.2分贝。)”可知，大多数船只遵循指导原则并自愿在关键栖息地减速，从而实现了噪音水平的有效降低，由此可知，第四段中的数据表明了自愿减速导致噪音减少。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.(例如，一种基于更安静无人机螺旋桨设计的螺旋桨。如果更加高效且更安静的船用螺旋桨的说法属实，这对于减少燃料使用和降低交通噪音都是好消息。)”可知，螺旋桨技术的创新旨在制造更加安静和高效的船用螺旋桨，有助于解决噪音问题，由此可知，螺旋桨技术创新的意义是解决噪音问题。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是，现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷，使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么？船只交通噪音。)”可知，噪音污染成为像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷一样，使得虎鲸难以捕捉到它们的主要食物来源，引出下文介绍的通过船只减速和其他技术手段来减轻这种影响的努力，由此可知，本文主要讲述的船只噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来的困扰以及解决这一问题的方法和技术进步，所以题目“船只噪音影响鲸鱼觅食” 准确反映了文章的核心内容，适合作为最佳标题。故选B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。 Why Do We Get Angry? Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ___36___ Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. _____37_____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits. Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ____38____ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. ___39___Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger. ___40___However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well. B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger. C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it. D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry. E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind. F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye. G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了导致人们生气的三个原因并指出如何防止愤怒爆发。 【36题详解】 考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到导致人们生气的三个主要原因： triggering（触发）events，personality traits（特征），our assessment of situations，下面的几段具体分析了这三个原因与生气的关系。故该句应该起承上启下的作用，故F选项（如果我们愿意用批判性的目光来评估自己的话，那么了解这些原因将会控制我们的愤怒。）承上启下，故选F。 【37题详解】 考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。该空前面两句提到引发愤怒的事件很多，例如：堵车，截止日期临近，身体疼痛等。下一句提到：某件事会激发一个人的怒气，但其他人却不会为此而生气的原因是由于个人的历史和心理特征。该空承上启下，应当提到某件事会使某些人生气，但不会使别人生气这个现象，故G选项（人们对这些事情的反应不一样，这就导致使一个人生气的事情可能会让另一个人生气，也可能不会让另一个人生气。）承上启下，故选G。 【38题详解】 考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到：每个人都有自己的心里不平衡的地方。那些比较好强，气量比较小的人更容易生气。下一句提到：而且，有时候，pre-anger并不一定是一种持久的状态，而是一种触发事件发生前的暂时状态。该空承上启下，既要提到上一句中的那些性格特征，又要提到下一句中的pre-anger，故Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind. （拥有这些个性特征意味着愤怒之前的状态，愤怒就在你的大脑背景中。）承上启下，故选E。 【39题详解】 考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到：有时候，甚至常规性的事件也会变成pre-anger或恼怒的来源。有时候对这些情况的无知和负面观点会产生愤怒。该空位于段首，引出下文，故A选项（我们的对情况的态度和看法也会在我们内心产生愤怒。）是本段的主题句，概括全段内容，故选A。 【40题详解】 考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到：但是生气很容易转变为暴力，所以最好了解一下愤怒的原因来阻止它的存在。该句和上一句之间是转折关系，结合剩余选项可知，D选项（愤怒是一种特别强烈的感情，或许人们认为他们有理由生气。）和下文构成转折关系，故选D。 点睛：七选五解题策略之一：词语复现 词语复现包括原词复现和同反义词复现，及正确选项和空格前后句子有相同的词或同反义词相互呼应。抓住这些复现线索，题目自然迎刃而解。在第一小题中，空前的the main reasons和G选项中的these reasons属于原词复现。第二小题空前文提到的trigger，G选项中的trigger，和空后一句中的trigger也属于原词复现。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The championship game was 67-68 with 10 seconds left.

Featuring 59. exhibits 60. impressively 61. an 62. to take 63. which 64. located 65. as 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了敦煌艺术大展的盛况、展品及意义。 【56题详解】 考查时态。句意：在国庆假期期间，于黄浦江东岸的中国美术馆举办的敦煌大展大受欢迎，吸引了全国各地的游客。根据“during the National Day holiday”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，主语The Great Art of Dunhuang Exhibition是单数，be动词用was。故填was。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：展出的是甘肃省敦煌研究院收藏的一些最具代表性的文物。根据空前的“the most”和空后名词“artifacts”可知，空处应用形容词representative“有代表性的”构成形容词最高级，作定语，修饰名词artifacts。故填representative。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这次展览以168件（套）中国国宝级文物为特色，假期期间接待游客超过5万人次。句中已有谓语动词welcomed，空处应用非谓语动词形式，feature与逻辑主语the exhibition之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式作状语，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Featuring。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：展品之一是《胜利碑》，这是一块刻有莫高窟开凿记录的石碑。“one of the + 可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，exhibit作名词时意为“展品”，故空处应用其复数形式exhibits。故填exhibits。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意：更令人印象深刻的是，6个最具代表性的洞窟按原比例复制展出，为游客带来了身临其境的莫高窟体验。空处修饰整个句子，应用副词impressively作状语，表示“令人印象深刻地”。故填impressively。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：更令人印象深刻的是，6个最具代表性的洞窟按原比例复制展出，为游客带来了身临其境的莫高窟体验。根据空后“immersive experience”可知，空处应用不定冠词，泛指“一次身临其境的体验”，immersive是以元音音素开头的单词，前面用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一位游客说：“我们在参观莫高窟时不允许拍照。多亏了数字技术，我们可以在这些复原的洞窟中近距离体验艺术品，这比参观真实的洞窟所能做的更多。”be allowed to do sth.是固定短语，意为“被允许做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to take。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一位游客说：“我们在参观莫高窟时不允许拍照。多亏了数字技术，我们可以在这些复原的洞窟中近距离体验艺术品，这比参观真实的洞窟所能做的更多。”空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：敦煌位于戈壁沙漠的一片绿洲中，曾是古丝绸之路上的重要贸易中心。句中已有谓语动词served，空处应用非谓语动词形式，be located in是固定短语，意为“位于”，locate与逻辑主语Dunhuang之间是被动关系，所以空处应用过去分词located作定语。故填located。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：敦煌位于戈壁沙漠的一片绿洲中，曾是古丝绸之路上的重要贸易中心。serve as是固定短语，意为“充当，担任，作为”，所以空处应用介词as。故填as。 第四部分 写作(以练字标准作答) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 66. 你校英文报“Opinion”栏目正在征稿，请同学们对未来大学生活中的学习(Study)、社交(Socialize)、睡眠(Sleep)这三件事按重要性进行排序，并阐述理由。 请你写一篇短文向该栏目投稿。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ranking My College Life Essentials ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ranking My College Life Essentials When it comes to the key elements of college life, I rank study first, sleep second and socialize third for solid reasons.

Twelve-year-old Mia felt sweat dropping down her back as she arranged the freshly made lemonade (柠檬水) on her folding table. She’d made the chalk drawings that morning: pink hearts and blue skateboards. Her big poster swung desperately in the hot wind: Lemonade 50 cents — Save for Skateboard! “Business slow, eh?” Mr. Rossi’s voice carried flour-dusted kindness from his grocery store doorway. And the smell of freshly baked bread followed him. Mia nodded, smoothing seven sweaty coins on the table. As they were talking, a silver car stopped by. A businessman in a nice suit stepped out, phone glued to his ear. “I said I would be there soon!” He seemed to be in a hurry. Grabbing a bottle of lemonade, he put a $20 bill onto the table. “Keep the change!” Mia was surprised. “No, sir. But...” Hurriedly, she counted out $19.50. “Here’s your change, sir.” “Keep it. Consider it a tip.” The businessman said with a gentle smile. “No, I can’t. The lemonade’s fifty cents.” Mia insisted. The car door was closed, with only tire (轮胎) marks left on the dirt road. Mia stared at the bill. Twenty dollars. Enough for skateboard wheels! Her fingers brushed through the cash box. “Wow, good luck.” Mr. Rossi said and went back to his grocery store. “But my mom used to say, money weighs heavy in dishonest pockets.” Mia whispered. As she was about to put away the money, she spotted something under the maple tree — a black leather wallet sticking out through dead leaves. Mia’s fingers shook as she opened it. Credit cards. A driver’s license. And a hundred-dollar bill. Her skateboard fund screamed in her ears, but Mom’s voice shouted louder. Mia could feel the wallet was heavy and realized the owner would be very worried. Without any hesitation, Mia went to Mr. Rossi for help. Looking through the contents of the wallet, Mr. Rossi said the owner would surely return and look for it. So maybe the best choice was to wait. 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。 Mia waited at her lemonade stand until darkness fell. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The businessman promised to buy Mia a skateboard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mia waited at her lemonade stand until darkness fell. The street quieted down, and most neighbors had already gone inside. Just as Mia began to pack up, headlights lit the road. The silver car returned, and the businessman came out, his expression filled with concern. When Mia handed him the wallet, his shoulders relaxed and a thankful smile spread across his face. He glanced inside, and clearly relieved that everything was still there. Mia simply told him she had found it by the maple tree. The businessman promised to buy Mia a skateboard. However, Mia hesitated for a moment and then politely declined. She explained that saving up for it by herself made the goal more meaningful. Instead, she offered him another bottle of lemonade — this time chilled with extra ice. The man smiled and paid the proper amount before driving off. As Mia packed up her stand, she felt a quiet pride settle in her heart. Though she hadn’t reached her goal yet, she knew she was on the right path. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了12岁的Mia在卖柠檬水攒钱买滑板时，意外捡到一个钱包，最终选择归还给失主的故事。故事展现了Mia的诚实和坚持原则的品质。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mia在她的柠檬水摊上等着直到天黑”可知，第一段可描写Mia等待失主的过程，以及失主返回后Mia归还钱包的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“这位商人答应为Mia购买滑板。”可知，第二段可描写Mia如何礼貌拒绝商人的好意，并坚持通过自己的努力攒钱买滑板。 2.续写线索：等待失主——归还钱包——商人感谢——提出帮助——Mia拒绝——感悟成长 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 返回：return/come back 拒绝：decline/refuse 提供：offer/provide 情绪类： 感激：thankful/grateful 自豪：feel a quiet pride settle in her heart/have a sense of pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] Just as Mia began to pack up, headlights lit the road.（由as引导的状语从句） [高分句型2]When Mia handed him the wallet, his shoulders relaxed and a thankful smile spread across his face.（由when引导的状语从句） [高分句型3] The silver car returned, and the businessman came out, his expression filled with concern.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级第一学期开学检测 英语 本试卷共12页，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why does Kristen choose the train to Germany?

Family Alliance Meal Delivery B On February 1, 2025, Zara Lachlan became the first woman — and the youngest person — to row from mainland Europe to mainland South America by herself without support. She completed this 4,100-mile crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in just over 97 days. Ms. Lachlan is 21 years old, and from the United Kingdom. She set off from Portugal in a special rowing boat on October 27, 2024. She would be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean with no one else to help her. The trip is an extreme challenge for anyone. And Ms. Lachlan wasn’t just new to ocean rowing, she was new to the ocean. “The first time I ever saw a fish in the ocean was on day six of my adventure trip,” she said. Ms. Lachlan had to clean the bottom of her boat regularly. That meant jumping into the ocean — something she didn’t enjoy at first, because she didn’t swim well. But Ms. Lachlan was determined. She faced many challenges along the way. Bad weather turned her boat over. An oar (桨) broke. After 40 days, her phone stopped working, and she couldn’t listen to music while she rowed anymore. Along the way, she hurt her arm, cut her leg, and broke a finger. At one point, she was nearly run over by a large ship. But there were many upsides, too. For Ms. Lachlan, the trip was a chance to see nature as few people ever do. The sunrises and night skies were “wonderful”. During the journey, Ms. Lachlan found dolphins, sharks, and even killer whales. After 97 days, 9 hours, and 20 minutes, Ms. Lachlan arrived in French Guiana, on the coast of South America. “Nobody knew I was coming in,” she said. “But I got clapped (鼓掌) by lots of fishermen from Brazil.” Ms. Lachlan nearly set a speed record for the journey. She missed that record by 19 hours. But in her heart, a deep-seated pride burned brightly. “I took on a huge challenge and won,” she said. 24. What can we know about Zara Lachlan according to the text? A. She was determined to complete the short trip. B. She had no experience in ocean rowing before. C. She came into close contact with killer whales. D. She didn’t receive any welcome at the destination. 25. What was one of the challenges Zara Lachlan faced during her trip? A. She ran out of food quickly. B. She lost her way in the ocean. C. Her phone broke after 40 days. D. Her boat was attacked by a shark. 26. How did Zara Lachlan feel about the fact that she missed that record? A. Still proud. B. Deeply worried. C. Quite angry. D. Extremely regretful. 27. What does Zara Lachlan’s experience show? A. Easy come, easy go. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 28. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 29. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 30. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint. C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon. D Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise. Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen. The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat. The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic. Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.” 32. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak? A. To introduce the feature of sound waves. B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting. C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak. D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting. 33. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4? A. Noise reduction is ineffective. B. Ship operators ignore guidelines. C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring. D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction. 34. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations? A. To address noise issues. B. To reduce fuel efficiency. C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines. D. To help measure influences on wildlife. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ships Slow Down for Whales. B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging. C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution. D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers. 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。 Why Do We Get Angry? Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ___36___ Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. _____37_____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits. Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ____38____ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. ___39___Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger. ___40___However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well. B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger. C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it. D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry. E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind. F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye. G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The championship game was 67-68 with 10 seconds left.

Twelve-year-old Mia felt sweat dropping down her back as she arranged the freshly made lemonade (柠檬水) on her folding table. She’d made the chalk drawings that morning: pink hearts and blue skateboards. Her big poster swung desperately in the hot wind: Lemonade 50 cents — Save for Skateboard! “Business slow, eh?” Mr. Rossi’s voice carried flour-dusted kindness from his grocery store doorway. And the smell of freshly baked bread followed him. Mia nodded, smoothing seven sweaty coins on the table. As they were talking, a silver car stopped by. A businessman in a nice suit stepped out, phone glued to his ear. “I said I would be there soon!” He seemed to be in a hurry. Grabbing a bottle of lemonade, he put a $20 bill onto the table. “Keep the change!” Mia was surprised. “No, sir. But...” Hurriedly, she counted out $19.50. “Here’s your change, sir.” “Keep it. Consider it a tip.” The businessman said with a gentle smile. “No, I can’t. The lemonade’s fifty cents.” Mia insisted. The car door was closed, with only tire (轮胎) marks left on the dirt road. Mia stared at the bill. Twenty dollars. Enough for skateboard wheels! Her fingers brushed through the cash box. “Wow, good luck.” Mr. Rossi said and went back to his grocery store. “But my mom used to say, money weighs heavy in dishonest pockets.” Mia whispered. As she was about to put away the money, she spotted something under the maple tree — a black leather wallet sticking out through dead leaves. Mia’s fingers shook as she opened it. Credit cards. A driver’s license. And a hundred-dollar bill. Her skateboard fund screamed in her ears, but Mom’s voice shouted louder. Mia could feel the wallet was heavy and realized the owner would be very worried. Without any hesitation, Mia went to Mr. Rossi for help. Looking through the contents of the wallet, Mr. Rossi said the owner would surely return and look for it. So maybe the best choice was to wait. 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。 Mia waited at her lemonade stand until darkness fell. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The businessman promised to buy Mia a skateboard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力。第一节。听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。how will you go to germany next week?
