Life being too short to cut potatoes but long enough to reach for the can-opener, I ate canned food often — to the horror of friends — directly and unheated from the can. For an occasional treat, I would go to an Indian takeaway, or sample the ready-cooked meals on the shelves of Marks & Spencer. If back then someone had told me that the day would come when I would feel excited by the publication of a new cookbook, I would have laughed into my can of Heinz sausages and beans. But the arrival of The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray has done exactly that. The recipes in the book were clear and easy to follow, and soon it became the go-to book in my kitchen. I started with risotto, an Italian dish of rice cooked with vegetables, meat, etc. It tasted a lot better than my rice with canned vegetables. I was drawn in, even deeply absorbed. I moved on to the yellow cookbook and the green (the authors’ two other books), and more adventurous recipes — bollito misto, suckling pig, pan-fried chicken with mascarpone. The recipes worked. The food tasted great. I was actually cooking. And if I didn’t have time to cook, the suggestions for bruschetta (an Italian bread) were always hugely more appetizing than cheese on toast. Part of my early resistance to cooking lay in my doubt about whether it would prove cost-effective. Whenever I overheard people talking about “blowout meals” they’d had in some fancy restaurant, I would feel a knot in my stomach. I admitted that good food always came at the expense of other things one might otherwise afford. To some extent, of course, this is true. But the great majority of the recipes in this book are probably more affordable than a lot of processed, ready-made supermarket meals. Tuscany, where so many of the recipes come from, was until recently one of the poorest parts of Europe. It’s farmers’ food — nutritious, healthy and tasty. I love cooking now, thanks to The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook. 4. What kind of person was the author according to paragraph 1? A. Pleasure-seeking. B. Health-conscious. C. Open-minded. D. Efficiency-driven. 5. What can we learn about The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook? A. The recipes in it were so easy that the author turned to the other two books. B. It convinced the author that home cooking could match the quality of canned food. C. It unexpectedly gave the author a big thrill to get the newly-published cookbook. D. The book failed to deliver practical assistance on the author’s time-pressed days. 6. What does the underlined phrase “blowout meals” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Costly feast. B. Nutritious dishes. C. Tasty food. D. Economical meals. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Fuel to Feast: A return to tradition B. Classic Italian Recipes: A healthy-diet reminder C. Beyond the Can-Opener: A new identity in the kitchen D. Food-is-fuel philosophy: A recipe for life change 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者过去秉持“食物只为果腹”的理念，长期吃罐头食品；一本意大利食谱彻底改变了作者，让他爱上下厨，体会到自制美食的乐趣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Until about 15 years ago I was strictly a food-is-fuel man: the only point of eating was to keep me going. Life being too short to cut potatoes but long enough to reach for the can-opener, I ate canned food often — to the horror of friends — directly and unheated from the can. (直到大约15年前，我还是一个严格意义上的“食物即燃料”的人：吃饭的唯一目的就是维持生命。人生苦短，来不及削土豆，却又长得足以伸手去拿开罐器，所以我经常吃罐头食品——而且是直接从罐头里拿出来、不加热就吃，这让朋友们惊恐不已。)”可知，作者当时一切追求省事高效，属于注重效率的人。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If back then someone had told me that the day would come when I would feel excited by the publication of a new cookbook, I would have laughed into my can of Heinz sausages and beans. But the arrival of The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray has done exactly that. (如果当时有人告诉我，有一天我会因为一本新食谱的出版而兴奋不已，我肯定会对着我那罐亨氏香肠和豆子大笑不止。但露丝·罗杰斯和罗斯·格雷合著的《河畔咖啡馆经典意大利食谱》的问世，确实让我变成了那样。)”可知，这本新食谱的面世，意外让作者感到非常激动。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Whenever I overheard people talking about “blowout meals” they’d had in some fancy restaurant, I would feel a knot in my stomach. I admitted that good food always came at the expense of other things one might otherwise afford. (每当我听到人们谈论在某家高档餐厅吃过____时，我就会感到胃里一阵抽搐。我承认，美食的代价就是牺牲掉其他本来买得起的东西。)”可知，fancy restaurant暗示就餐环境高端，at the expense of other things one might otherwise afford说明要付出的开销不小，blowout meals与“Costly feast (昂贵的盛宴)”意义最接近。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Life being too short to cut potatoes but long enough to reach for the can-opener. (人生苦短，来不及削土豆，却又长得足以伸手去拿开罐器)”以及最后一段“I love cooking now, thanks to The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook. (多亏了《河畔咖啡馆经典意大利食谱》，我现在热爱烹饪)”可知，文章讲述作者从只会开罐头吃熟食，转变为热爱下厨的人。“Beyond the Can-Opener: A new identity in the kitchen (不再只依赖开罐器：厨房中的全新自我)”最适合作为文章标题。 C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚂蚁的团队协作行为对缓解交通拥堵的启示及未来自动驾驶汽车的应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.(研究表明，当密度达到每车道每英里15辆车时，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会导致持续时间长、范围广的交通堵塞。)”可知，在特定密度下，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会直接导致大面积高速公路交通堵塞。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake.(Katsuhiro Nishinari此前的研究已经表明，觅食的蚂蚁即使在种群密度很高的情况下也能保持平稳移动。最近的一项后续研究发现，它们通常以3到20只为一组旅行，以稳定的速度移动，彼此之间保持适当的间隙，从不试图超车。)”可知，第三段提到最近的后续研究是为了详细说明蚂蚁如何实现平稳移动。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry.(其中关键的一点就是避免tailgating。与前车保持安全距离有助于吸收密集交通中突然刹车产生的冲击波——这是一种优先考虑整体顺畅而非个人匆忙的简单做法。)”可知，与前车保持安全距离可以避免追尾，故tailgating意思是“与前车距离太近”。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits.(正如Katsuhiro Nishinari指出的那样，“与经常独立行动的人类驾驶员不同，未来的自动驾驶汽车可以被设计成共享实时数据并作为一个集成系统运行。”受蚂蚁的启发，这些车辆可以作为一个协作系统来升级交通流量，可能需要更新现有法规以充分实现其优势。)”可知，Katsuhiro Nishinari建议受蚂蚁启发的自动驾驶汽车应采用协作方法。故选B。 D The evolutionary path that led to the rise of modern humans is full of twists and turns, and the latest surprise is that our species likely evolved from two ancestral populations. Scientists have long thought that modern humans emerged from a single hominin (古人类) population in Africa between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago. However, a new study led by Richard Durbin, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, revealed that two groups of hominins split apart around 1.5 million years ago, only to reunite about 1.2 million years later, initiating a genetic mixing event that resulted in the birth of modern humanity. Instead of relying on ancient remains, researchers made use of modern human DNA from the 1,000 Genomes Project. By adding that data set to a computational algorithm (算法), they produced a structured model that displayed two ancestral populations breaking apart and getting back together in ancient times. “The fact that we can reconstruct events from hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago just by looking at DNA today is astonishing,” said Durbin. The model shows in the years after the split, one of the two groups contracted temporarily. “Immediately after the two ancestral populations split, we see a severe bottleneck in one of them — suggesting it declined to a very small size before slowly growing over a period of one million years,” Durbin said. “This population would later contribute about 80% of the genetic material of modern humans. The second group, meanwhile, contributed around 20% of the genes, many of which are located far away from the functional regions of the genome.” As for the identity of these ancestral populations, an element of mystery still remains. The researchers point to Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis as possible candidates, but further research is needed. Still, the genetic exchange shaping the modern human genome demonstrates that human evolution has involved splits and get-togethers. And that’s probably not limited to humans. 12. What is the highlight of the new study? A. It compares two populations. B. It rewrites human origin. C. It maps the human genome. D. It confirms evolution timeline. 13. Which best describes the method of the study? A. Practice-focused. B. Culture-led. C. Data-based. D. Theory-guided. 14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Species evolve in a clear and straight line. B. The two populations contributed equally in genes. C. The identity of the two groups has been identified. D. Genetic exchange may exist in other species. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Our Closest Ancient Cousins B. The Art of Encoding Human DNA C. An Ancestral Reunion D. The Out-of-Africa Human Journey 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项新研究，通过分析现代人DNA建立模型，提出现代人类很可能源自两个古人类种群，这两个种群分开后又再次融合，催生了现代人类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“the latest surprise is that our species likely evolved from two ancestral populations (最新的惊人发现是我们人类很可能由两个祖先种群演化而来)”以及第二段“However, a new study led by Richard Durbin, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, revealed that two groups of hominins split apart around 1.5 million years ago, only to reunite about 1.2 million years later, initiating a genetic mixing event that resulted in the birth of modern humanity. (然而剑桥大学遗传学家Richard Durbin主导的一项新研究表明，两组古人类在约150万年前分开，又在120万年后重新汇合，开启了基因融合事件，造就了现代人类)”可知，以往认为现代人来自单一古人类种群，而这项新研究提出了人类起源的新观点，重新阐释人类起源。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of relying on ancient remains, researchers made use of modern human DNA from the 1,000 Genomes Project. By adding that data set to a computational algorithm (算法), they produced a structured model (研究人员没有依靠古代遗骸，而是使用千人基因组计划中的现代人DNA，把数据集代入计算算法，构建出结构化模型)”可知，该研究依靠大量DNA数据开展，是基于数据的研究。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, the genetic exchange shaping the modern human genome demonstrates that human evolution has involved splits and get-togethers. And that’s probably not limited to humans. (尽管如此，塑造现代人类基因组的基因交换证明人类进化存在种群分化与融合。而这可能不局限于人类)”可推知，基因交换现象或许也存在于其他物种中。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“two groups of hominins split apart around 1.5 million years ago, only to reunite about 1.2 million years later, initiating a genetic mixing event that resulted in the birth of modern humanity (两组古人类在约150万年前分开，又在120万年后重新汇合，开启了基因融合事件，造就了现代人类)”以及通读全文可知，本文重点讲述了两支古人类种群分离之后再度汇合融合，reunite对应Reunion，“An Ancestral Reunion (祖先的重聚)”最适合作为文章标题。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 A passenger jet flies at about 575 mph once it’s at cruising altitude. That’s nearly nine times faster than a car might typically be cruising on the highway. ____16____ If you watch a plane accelerating toward takeoff, it appears to be moving very quickly. It’s not until the plane is in the air and has reached cruising altitude that it appears to be moving very slowly. That’s because there is often no independent reference point when the plane is in the sky. A reference point is a way to measure the speed of the airplane. ____17____ This can make it very hard to perceive just how fast a plane is moving. Besides, because the plane is far away, it takes longer for it to move across your field of vision compared to an object that is close to you. ____18____ The factors above explain why a plane looks like it’s going more slowly than it is. But why does it feel that way, too? A plane feels like it’s traveling more slowly than it is because, just like when you look up at a plane in the sky, as a passenger on a plane, you have no independent reference point. ____19____ This is the same reason why it can be hard to tell that you are driving quickly on a highway that is surrounded only by empty fields with no trees. ____20____ The combination of lack of reference points, distance and shared motion with the plane creates a powerful illusion that affects both our eyes and our bodies. A. The plane’s size also plays a role in how we feel in flight. B. In fact, the speed of a plane is much more stable than that of a car. C. So why does a plane in flight look like it’s just inching across the sky? D. This further creates the false impression that it is moving more slowly than it actually is. E. In short, both our visual perception and physical sensation are tricked by the same fundamental reason. F. If there are no clouds or smoke surrounding it, the plane is moving against a completely uniform blue sky. G. You and the plane are moving at the same speed, which can make it difficult to perceive your rate of motion relative to the ground beneath you. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了飞机巡航时速很快，但肉眼看高空飞机却移动缓慢，解释了视觉错觉与乘客体感变慢的多重原因。 【16题详解】 上文“A passenger jet flies at about 575 mph once it’s at cruising altitude. That’s nearly nine times faster than a car might typically be cruising on the highway. (客机在巡航高度的飞行速度约为每小时575英里，这几乎是高速公路上汽车常规巡航速度的9倍。)”点明飞机实际飞行速度极快。C选项“So why does a plane in flight look like it’s just inching across the sky? (那么为什么飞行中的飞机看起来只是在天空中缓缓挪动？)”承接上文飞机高速的事实，提出疑问，引出下文的原因分析。 【17题详解】 上文“A reference point is a way to measure the speed of the airplane. (参照物是衡量飞机速度的一种方式)”介绍参照物的概念。下文“This can make it very hard to perceive just how fast a plane is moving. (这会让我们很难感知飞机到底有多快。)”陈述某种现象带来的结果。F选项“If there are no clouds or smoke surrounding it, the plane is moving against a completely uniform blue sky. (如果周围没有云或者烟雾，飞机在一片完全均匀的蓝天上飞行。)”举例说明飞机缺少参照物的场景，承接上文的概念，引出下文的感知困难。 【18题详解】 上文“Besides, because the plane is far away, it takes longer for it to move across your field of vision compared to an object that is close to you. (此外，因为飞机距离很远，和近处物体相比，它穿过你的视野需要更长时间。)”说明不同距离带来的视觉差异。D选项“This further creates the false impression that it is moving more slowly than it actually is. (这进一步造成了飞机比实际速度更慢的错觉。)”中This指代上文飞机远距离穿过视野的现象，递进说明该现象会让人产生飞机速度慢的错觉。 【19题详解】 上文“A plane feels like it’s traveling more slowly than it is because, just like when you look up at a plane in the sky, as a passenger on a plane, you have no independent reference point. (坐在飞机上感觉飞行速度比实际慢，原因在于：就像你抬头看天空中的飞机一样，作为飞机上的乘客，你也没有独立的参照物。)”说明乘客在飞机上缺少参照物。下文“This is the same reason why it can be hard to tell that you are driving quickly on a highway that is surrounded only by empty fields with no trees. (这和你在四周只有空旷田野、没有树木的高速上很难察觉自己车速很快是同一个道理。)”用开车类比。G选项“You and the plane are moving at the same speed, which can make it difficult to perceive your rate of motion relative to the ground beneath you. (你和飞机以相同速度运动，这让你很难感知你相对于地面的移动速度。)”承接上文缺少参照物，解释乘客产生慢速体感的原理，下文的This指代本句描述的情况，引出类比。 【20题详解】 文章第2~4段分别介绍了仰望飞机产生的视觉错觉以及身处飞机上感受到的体感错觉。下文“The combination of lack of reference points, distance and shared motion with the plane creates a powerful illusion that affects both our eyes and our bodies. (缺少参照物、距离以及人与飞机同步运动这些因素叠加，形成强烈错觉，同时影响我们的视觉与身体感受。)”说明多种因素叠加形成错觉，同时影响视觉与身体感受。E选项“In short, both our visual perception and physical sensation are tricked by the same fundamental reason. (简而言之，我们的视觉感知和身体感受，都被同一个根本原因欺骗了。)”是对上文提到的两类错觉进行概括总结，visual perception and physical sensation对应下文的“both our eyes and our bodies”，起到承上启下的作用。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In Old Delhi, pigeon keeping is more than just entertainment; it carries on the cultural memory of this city.

For 15-year-old Daniel, summer usually meant bike rides, basketball games, and long afternoons at the park with his friends. But this year felt different — quieter, somehow. Daniel’s neighbor, Mr. Wagner, had always been a big part of the neighborhood. He was the kind of adult kids actually liked to be around. Every winter, he helped clear snow off the sidewalks, even when no one asked. In the summer, he set up a sprinkler (洒水器) in his front yard for the kids to run through and handed out orange and grape juice from a little cooler. When Daniel hurt his knee trying to learn a skateboard trick, it was Mr. Wagner who cleaned the cut and covered it up. He even helped Daniel with his math homework once when he was stuck before a test. He didn’t have kids of his own, but he treated every child on the street like family. That was why Daniel started to worry when he didn’t see Mr. Wagner outside anymore. No more chats, no more afternoon waves. Then one afternoon, an ambulance pulled into Mr. Wagner’s driveway. Daniel watched from his window, his heart sinking. Later that evening, Daniel’s parents told him that Mr. Wagner had a serious sickness. His condition had worsened recently, and he now needed a wheelchair to get around — but there was no ramp (坡道) at his house, just three high steps leading to the front door. The next day, Daniel and his friends took turns visiting Mr. Wagner. They brought him books from the library, helped water his garden, and even walked his dog. But Daniel knew that wasn’t enough. That evening, he gathered his friends under a big apple tree. “Mr. Wagner has done so much for us,” Daniel said firmly. “It’s our turn to help him.” The others nodded. That’s when the idea came — they would build him a ramp. 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: Building the ramp wasn’t easy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After a full week of hard work, the ramp was finally ready. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Building the ramp wasn’t easy. None of them had built anything before, but their determination to help Mr. Wagner kept them going. They watched tutorial videos online, asked their parents how to measure, cut, and fasten wood, and borrowed tools from neighbors. Under the hot sun, they worked with sweat rolling down their faces, learning through trial and error. They accepted Mr. Wagner’s orange and grape juice but refused his suggestion to take a break. Every afternoon, the sounds of tools mixed with laughter, turning their street into the liveliest place. After a full week of hard work, the ramp was finally ready. Mr. Wagner came to the door in his wheelchair. Slowly, he rolled onto the ramp and down into the yard. For the first time in weeks, he was outside again. He looked at the kids, his eyes shining. He told them he had been feeling lonely, but now, thanks to the ramp, he felt part of the world again. That summer, the ramp became more than just a way for Mr. Wagner to get outside. It became a symbol of kindness, connection, and community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了15岁的丹尼尔往年夏天充满活力，而今年因邻居瓦格纳先生不再露面而不同。瓦格纳先生常热心帮助邻里孩子，后因重病需轮椅却无坡道。丹尼尔和朋友决定为他建坡道，虽无经验，但查教程、学技能、辛苦劳作一周建成。坡道不仅方便了瓦格纳先生，更成了善意与社区联结的象征。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“建造斜坡并非易事。”可知，第一段可描写他们建造斜坡的具体经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过整整一周的辛勤工作，斜坡终于准备好了。”可知，第二段可描写斜坡建造好以后不仅方便了瓦格纳先生，更成了善意与社区联结的象征。 2.续写线索：建造斜坡——观看教学视频——一起建造斜坡——完成斜坡——瓦格纳先生使用斜坡——斜坡成为善意与社区联结的象征 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①变成：turn into/transform into ②拒绝：refuse/decline ③接受：accept/jump at 情绪类 ①寂寞的：lonely/doleful ②善行：kindness/good-deed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Under the hot sun, they worked with sweat rolling down their faces, learning through trial and error.(运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] He looked at the kids, his eyes shining.(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 $ 哈九中2024级高三9月阶段性考试 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，每段对话读两遍。 1.

Life being too short to cut potatoes but long enough to reach for the can-opener, I ate canned food often — to the horror of friends — directly and unheated from the can. For an occasional treat, I would go to an Indian takeaway, or sample the ready-cooked meals on the shelves of Marks & Spencer. If back then someone had told me that the day would come when I would feel excited by the publication of a new cookbook, I would have laughed into my can of Heinz sausages and beans. But the arrival of The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray has done exactly that. The recipes in the book were clear and easy to follow, and soon it became the go-to book in my kitchen. I started with risotto, an Italian dish of rice cooked with vegetables, meat, etc. It tasted a lot better than my rice with canned vegetables. I was drawn in, even deeply absorbed. I moved on to the yellow cookbook and the green (the authors’ two other books), and more adventurous recipes — bollito misto, suckling pig, pan-fried chicken with mascarpone. The recipes worked. The food tasted great. I was actually cooking. And if I didn’t have time to cook, the suggestions for bruschetta (an Italian bread) were always hugely more appetizing than cheese on toast. Part of my early resistance to cooking lay in my doubt about whether it would prove cost-effective. Whenever I overheard people talking about “blowout meals” they’d had in some fancy restaurant, I would feel a knot in my stomach. I admitted that good food always came at the expense of other things one might otherwise afford. To some extent, of course, this is true. But the great majority of the recipes in this book are probably more affordable than a lot of processed, ready-made supermarket meals. Tuscany, where so many of the recipes come from, was until recently one of the poorest parts of Europe. It’s farmers’ food — nutritious, healthy and tasty. I love cooking now, thanks to The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook. 4. What kind of person was the author according to paragraph 1? A. Pleasure-seeking. B. Health-conscious. C. Open-minded. D. Efficiency-driven. 5. What can we learn about The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook? A. The recipes in it were so easy that the author turned to the other two books. B. It convinced the author that home cooking could match the quality of canned food. C. It unexpectedly gave the author a big thrill to get the newly-published cookbook. D. The book failed to deliver practical assistance on the author’s time-pressed days. 6. What does the underlined phrase “blowout meals” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Costly feast. B. Nutritious dishes. C. Tasty food. D. Economical meals. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Fuel to Feast: A return to tradition B. Classic Italian Recipes: A healthy-diet reminder C. Beyond the Can-Opener: A new identity in the kitchen D. Food-is-fuel philosophy: A recipe for life change C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. D The evolutionary path that led to the rise of modern humans is full of twists and turns, and the latest surprise is that our species likely evolved from two ancestral populations. Scientists have long thought that modern humans emerged from a single hominin (古人类) population in Africa between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago. However, a new study led by Richard Durbin, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, revealed that two groups of hominins split apart around 1.5 million years ago, only to reunite about 1.2 million years later, initiating a genetic mixing event that resulted in the birth of modern humanity. Instead of relying on ancient remains, researchers made use of modern human DNA from the 1,000 Genomes Project. By adding that data set to a computational algorithm (算法), they produced a structured model that displayed two ancestral populations breaking apart and getting back together in ancient times. “The fact that we can reconstruct events from hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago just by looking at DNA today is astonishing,” said Durbin. The model shows in the years after the split, one of the two groups contracted temporarily. “Immediately after the two ancestral populations split, we see a severe bottleneck in one of them — suggesting it declined to a very small size before slowly growing over a period of one million years,” Durbin said. “This population would later contribute about 80% of the genetic material of modern humans. The second group, meanwhile, contributed around 20% of the genes, many of which are located far away from the functional regions of the genome.” As for the identity of these ancestral populations, an element of mystery still remains.

That’s nearly nine times faster than a car might typically be cruising on the highway. ____16____ If you watch a plane accelerating toward takeoff, it appears to be moving very quickly. It’s not until the plane is in the air and has reached cruising altitude that it appears to be moving very slowly. That’s because there is often no independent reference point when the plane is in the sky. A reference point is a way to measure the speed of the airplane. ____17____ This can make it very hard to perceive just how fast a plane is moving. Besides, because the plane is far away, it takes longer for it to move across your field of vision compared to an object that is close to you. ____18____ The factors above explain why a plane looks like it’s going more slowly than it is. But why does it feel that way, too? A plane feels like it’s traveling more slowly than it is because, just like when you look up at a plane in the sky, as a passenger on a plane, you have no independent reference point. ____19____ This is the same reason why it can be hard to tell that you are driving quickly on a highway that is surrounded only by empty fields with no trees. ____20____ The combination of lack of reference points, distance and shared motion with the plane creates a powerful illusion that affects both our eyes and our bodies. A. The plane’s size also plays a role in how we feel in flight. B. In fact, the speed of a plane is much more stable than that of a car. C. So why does a plane in flight look like it’s just inching across the sky? D. This further creates the false impression that it is moving more slowly than it actually is. E. In short, both our visual perception and physical sensation are tricked by the same fundamental reason. F. If there are no clouds or smoke surrounding it, the plane is moving against a completely uniform blue sky. G. You and the plane are moving at the same speed, which can make it difficult to perceive your rate of motion relative to the ground beneath you. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In Old Delhi, pigeon keeping is more than just entertainment; it carries on the cultural memory of this city.

For 15-year-old Daniel, summer usually meant bike rides, basketball games, and long afternoons at the park with his friends. But this year felt different — quieter, somehow. Daniel’s neighbor, Mr. Wagner, had always been a big part of the neighborhood. He was the kind of adult kids actually liked to be around. Every winter, he helped clear snow off the sidewalks, even when no one asked. In the summer, he set up a sprinkler (洒水器) in his front yard for the kids to run through and handed out orange and grape juice from a little cooler. When Daniel hurt his knee trying to learn a skateboard trick, it was Mr. Wagner who cleaned the cut and covered it up. He even helped Daniel with his math homework once when he was stuck before a test. He didn’t have kids of his own, but he treated every child on the street like family. That was why Daniel started to worry when he didn’t see Mr. Wagner outside anymore. No more chats, no more afternoon waves. Then one afternoon, an ambulance pulled into Mr. Wagner’s driveway. Daniel watched from his window, his heart sinking. Later that evening, Daniel’s parents told him that Mr. Wagner had a serious sickness. His condition had worsened recently, and he now needed a wheelchair to get around — but there was no ramp (坡道) at his house, just three high steps leading to the front door. The next day, Daniel and his friends took turns visiting Mr. Wagner. They brought him books from the library, helped water his garden, and even walked his dog. But Daniel knew that wasn’t enough. That evening, he gathered his friends under a big apple tree. “Mr. Wagner has done so much for us,” Daniel said firmly. “It’s our turn to help him.” The others nodded. That’s when the idea came — they would build him a ramp. 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: Building the ramp wasn’t easy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After a full week of hard work, the ramp was finally ready. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
