2026一2027学年度学科素养周测评(八)
英语
(总分100分)
第一部分阅读(共8小题;每小题5分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It's a hot night on the western coast of Sri Lanka.A team of volunteers is patrolling
(巡逻)a popular tourist beach on the outskirts of Colombo,searching for turtle(海龟)
nesting sites.They gather in a circle,digging in the sand at dusk.
Turtle eggs have long been stolen as a food source by coastal communities,but more
recently it is human activity of another kind that has proved a greater threat.As the city
has expanded,restaurants and other tourist facilities have mushroomed along most parts
of the country's western coast,bringing in more people,noisy music,and much plastic
and chemical waste,all of which harm turtle nesting during the reproducing season.
Aware that life for the turtles was becoming more difficult,Muditha Katuwawala,
one of the volunteers,expanded the activities of the Pearl Protectors to include regular
patrols.Working with the coastguard,the volunteers help to find eggs laid in hazardous
areas and remove them to a safe nesting place on the beach until they hatch.
Nevertheless,a significant threat to the turtles comes from the illegal hunters
because once they find a nest,all the eggs are usually taken."Certain restaurants and
hotels sell these eggs to the foreigners as a novel food,at a good price,"Katuwawala
says."So turtle eggs now have commercial demand.He says patrolling alone will not
create a lasting impact on turtle conservation and it needs to be combined with educating
coastal communities.
Another volunteer,Lara Wijesuriya,agrees."It makes a difference to the community
in how they perceive the problem and the solution,"she says."And it makes a difference
to the volunteers in how they approach the problem.It bridges the gap.
In the southern part of the island,the Turtle Conservation Project has gone a step
further by employing hunters to protect nests,providing an alternative income.
"When you finally see the baby turtles going into the ocean,it's really nice to know
that you helped a life to live,"Fernando,another volunteer,says.

For decades it's been hoped that seawater could be desalinated (to resolve the
problem of drinking water shortage.Yet desalination plants still provide only around one
percent of the world's drinking water.The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are
expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run.Energy accounts for one-
姓名
third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.
In Saudi Arabia,the world's largest producer of desalinated water,the process
-------------
accounts for up to a fifth of the nation's energy consumption.But all this may be

changing.A 2020 study found that,globally,the average cost of desalinated water could
more than halve (if solar power and battery storage systems were used.Across
the world,there are around 180 facilities currently under construction,or in their design
phase,mostly in the Middle East and North Africa.New sources of renewable energy like
solar power mean it's getting cheaper to power energy-hungry desalination equipment in
sunny and water-stressed areas.
Egypt and Morocco,for example,are building renewable-powered plants designed
both to provide drinking water and to water crops.In South Australia,a self-cooling
greenhouse design that uses wind to desalinate seawater for crops is part of a commercial
project producing 15 percent of Australian-grown tomatoes.Scientists are also making
major breakthroughs,such as new self-cleaning membrane technology,which
improves the desalination process.
One start-up,Core Power,is developing nuclear-powered offshore plants.Another,
Oneka,is employing wave power for desalination units.This wave of growth and
innovation is set to continue.A global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion
dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32 billion dollars by 2030.
But serious challenges remain.Most facilities still use non-renewable fuels to power
the plants,and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sealife.
These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination
industry to provide its fresh water.
5.What results in the slow progress of desalination?
A.High production costs.
B.Environmental concerns.
C.Little demand for fresh water.
D.Lack of official support.
6.What do the facts in Paragraphs 3 and 4 imply concerning the desalination industry?
A.It promises a bright prospect.
B.It'll end water shortage soon.
C.It's merely a temporary success.
D.It faces huge investment risks.
7.In which of the following publications would this text be printed?
A.Motor Trend.
B.Runner's World.
C.Psychology Today.
D.The Economist.
8.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.Why we depend on fresh water to live.
B.How to lessen negative effects of desalination.
C.What to do to store fresh water against droughts.
D.How desalination technologies boost water supply.

His 20 came in the form of speech typing that helped him write more stories

either speed up your regular jogs,or take the stairs instead of the lift.The study reports

第三部分写作(满分20分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students.On this particular day,she was
guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape..Akila yawned(打哈欠),
clearly disinterested-drawing wasn't her thing.A small group of students gathered
around Tina,laughing at her unusual drawing:a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped
with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease,"Draw it the way I showed you."As
the lesson continued,doubt crept into Mary's mind.Had the joy of creativity been
overshadowed by the pressure to fit in?She scanned the room,observing her students'
faces-some concentrated,others uncertain.Akila's disinterest was clear and Tina's
imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class,Mary sat down with Tina,her tone softening."Why did you draw the
sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?"she asked gently.
Tina's eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion ()-"I love ice cream,and I
thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses.Why do we always have to draw like
everyone else?”
Mary paused,her thoughts racing.Tina's drawings weren't just curious-they were
a window into a world where imagination ruled,where rules could be bent into delightful
chaos.Was she,by enforcing a rigid style,killing that very creativity?
The next morning,Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of
purpose.She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new
project::they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled“Our Dream World'”with
no rules.They were free to use colors,shapes,and patterns however they wished.
At first,the students hesitated,unsure of this newfound freedom.Akila leaned
back,skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise.But Tina,her creativity
no longer restricted,eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon.Then,
Maya joined in.And then Michael...
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
