2024级高三第一学期摸底考试英语科试卷 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 WALK FOR GREEN How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus? The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points (and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time, and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: 1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. 2. A maximum of six points will be awarded each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. LWS Building. D. MTR Station. 2. What are participants required to do? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Complete a round trip. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Choose a pre-set route. 3. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 6 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了学校推出“绿色步行”活动，设置校园步行路线与打卡读卡器。参与者打卡积攒积分，三十天集齐60分可获称号，该活动倡导绿色出行、锻炼身体。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building.(“绿色步行”活动从地铁站出发，推荐多条校园步行路线，其中一条途经YIA大楼、LSK大楼以及LWS大楼)”可知，活动起点是地铁站。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points (and also at an intermediate card reader).(想要参与活动的师生可以选择一条标识好的路线，在起点、终点以及中途打卡点的读卡器上刷校园卡。)”可知，参与者要选择预先设置好的路线。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Walking Journey Points图表内容可知，“YIA Building ↔ LSK Building”对应2分，“LSK Building ↔ LWS Building”对应1分，从YIA Building步行至LWS Building需经过LSK Building，总积分为 2+1=3 分。 B The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 4. Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 5. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 6. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C. He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的猎人视角，描绘一头饱经风霜却优雅悲悯的非洲象，其凝视触发作者的良知觉醒，最终放弃猎杀。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. (这只野兽慢慢地抬起头，它粗壮的鼻子巧妙地卷曲在附近一棵树的叶子上，把叶子抽出来，礼貌地塞进嘴里。)”和第二段中“Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. (它粗糙的毛发从皮肤上伸出来，两根巨大的白色象牙从嘴的两侧优雅地弯曲着。)”可知，前两段通过细致动作和雅致的外貌展现大象的优雅。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. (在某个地方，一只狮子在吼叫，还有别的什么东西发出了响亮的叫声。一只秃鹫飘过这个世界的上空，在天空中只是一个黑点。无数的灌木昆虫的嗡嗡声似乎集体提高了音调，几乎就像整个热带草原都在唱着只有它们才知道的歌。)”可知，该段描写狮子吼叫、秃鹫盘旋、昆虫鸣叫，并将之比喻为“草原的合唱”，表明大象与其他生物共存于这一生态系统中。因此，镜头从大象转向其他生物，意在展示大象是广阔鲜活世界的一部分。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. (变焦镜头几乎展示了这头大象的每一个细节：它的左耳上有三个小伤口，这是它小时候在荆棘树下玩耍时留下的，它的前腿上有一个伤疤，那是它年轻时被狮子在不知道的情况下抓住的，它那又大又珍贵的象牙上有几十年生活在这片尘土飞扬的大陆上无情的草原上的风化。)”和第五段中“And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. (然后大象看着我。它用那双长着睫毛的大眼睛看着我，从那巨大而隐蔽的深处发出一种温暖。)”可知，作者透过镜头看到大象的沧桑与灵性，他深受触动且充满同情。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. (它接受和原谅。它去爱。但最主要的是，它只是感到悲伤。它为我感到难过。我不能再这样下去了。)”和最后一段“I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” (我把视线从瞄准具上移开，把枪还给了我的搭档。“我们回家吧，”我轻声说，“我们就回家吧。”)”可知，大象的凝视使作者放下猎枪，选择离开，体现自然唤醒人性良知，即“自然净化心灵”。故选B项。 C A new paper published in Environmental Research Letters has some warning news for people living in the lower 48 states: You may be at risk from river flooding and not even know it until the water starts to rise. In fact, the study, estimates of present and future flood risk in the United States, found that 41 million U. S. residents are at risk from flooding along rivers. That’s three times more than current estimates based on the flood maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , which primarily maps the areas at risk for 1-in-100-year floods in populous (人口众多的) river basins. Why does the big difference come into being? As always, it’s all about the data. Generally, FEMA prioritizes risk-assessment areas based on their population; reserving expensive field-work methodologies (研究方法) for the more populous river basins, but many other rivers have not yet been mapped at all. The size of the USA means that flood maps made in this way are incomplete. It would be too expensive and time-consuming to survey every river basin in America. The national-scale flood maps produced by FEMA leave the flood risk of many parts of the country unaccounted for. For this research, scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology that avoids the defects of the FEMA approach, where individual catchments (流域) are studied by making use of big data. The study used a new high-resolution model, produced by the flood-mapping organization Fathom, which copies floods on all rivers across the entire continental United States. “We were all surprised by how many people are actually exposed to freshwater flooding in the USA,” said Oliver Wing, lead researcher on the study and a PhD student at the University of Bristol. “It’s particularly worrisome considering that most of these people aren’t even aware of the risk they face. This study helps fill that critical information gap.” 8. What did the new paper intend to tell readers? A. The mistakes made by FEMA. B. The serious situation of the flood. C. The populous river basins of the USA. D. The unseen risk of the flood in the USA. 9. Why is the map produced by FEMA incomplete? A. It’s dangerous to research all the rivers. B. The size of the USA is too big. C. It ignores less populous rivers. D. The efficiency of making it is low. 10. What does the underlined word “defects” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shortcomings. B. Potential. C. Consumption. D. Contributions. 11. What attitude does Oliver Wing have to the study? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Uncaring. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过了一项开创性的方法，对美国目前和未来洪水风险作出新的评估，让人们减少遭受洪水的威胁。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A new paper published in Environmental Research Letters has some warning news for people living in the lower 48 states: You may be at risk from river flooding and not even know it until the water starts to rise.(发表在《环境研究快报》上的一篇新论文对居住在美国本土48个州的人们提出了一些警告:你可能面临河流洪水的威胁，但直到洪水开始上涨时你才意识到。)”可推断，这份新报纸打算告诉读者在美国有许多看不见的洪水风险。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A Generally, FEMA prioritizes risk-assessment areas based on their population; reserving expensive field-work methodologies (研究方法) for the more populous river basins, but many other rivers have not yet been mapped at all. (一般来说，联邦应急管理局根据人口对风险评估领域进行优先排序;为人口较多的河流流域保留昂贵的野外研究方法，但许多其他河流还没有绘制地图。)”可推断，联邦应急管理局制作的地图不完整是因为它忽略了人口较少的河流。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“For this research, scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology (为了这个研究，美国自然保护协会的科学家采用了一种开创性的方法)”并结合上文可知，原来洪水地图的绘制是不科学的，所以此方法避免联邦紧急事务管理局研究方法的缺陷。可以猜测defects为“缺陷”之意。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This study helps fill that critical information gap. (这项研究有助于填补这一关键的信息空白。)”可推断，Oliver Wing对此研究的态度是支持的。故选B。 【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题。设题时，常会考查生词或短语的词义判断题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出defects的含义，就是根据文章第五段“For this research, scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology (为了这个研究，美国自然保护协会的科学家采用了一种开创性的方法)”并结合上文可知，原来洪水地图的绘制是不科学的，所以此方法避免联邦紧急事务管理局研究方法的缺陷。可以猜测defects为“缺陷”之意。 D It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to-7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures. With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier — the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four-sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly. The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage.” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tubingen in Germany. In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) — at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says. 12. What does the recent study reveal about crows? A. They can draw simple figures with tools. B. They can distinguish basic geometric shapes. C. They can do easy math calculations. D. They can recognize human voices and faces. 13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape-recognition task? A. By showing the figures with different colors. B. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes. C. By shortening the time for the crows to respond. D. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Crows’ food-searching advantage. B. Survival benefits of crows’ cognition. C. Geometric potential’s role in crow navigation. D. Reasons why crows evolved shape recognition. 15. What is the follow-up step for future study? A. Studying crows’ brain areas for geometry. B. Comparing human and crow cerebral cortex. C. Exploring crows’ other complex brain functions. D. Investigating causes of crows’ flexible behaviors. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了已有研究证实乌鸦具备多种认知能力，而最新研究发现乌鸦可以识别基础几何特征、分辨不同图形，同时推测该能力进化的多重原因，并讲述未来科研方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures. (最近一项专项研究进一步扩充了这份能力清单，揭示乌鸦能够识别边长、平行线、直角等基础几何特征，并且可以分辨星形、月牙形、正方形以及不规则四边形等图形。)”可知，这项新研究发现乌鸦可以区分基础几何图形。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four-sided figures. (当乌鸦适应这项任务后，图形变得更加相似，包括正方形与不规则四边形。)”可知，研究人员通过提高图形之间的相似度来提升任务难度。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段，根据“They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around....to help them search for food or identify other individual crows...“All these abilities…have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage.” (他们猜测这项能力可能有助于它们在飞行时进行导航……帮助它们寻找食物或识别其他个体乌鸦……“所有这些能力……得以进化是因为它们可以提供生存或者繁殖优势。”)”可知，本段主要分析乌鸦进化出形状识别能力的各类缘由。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. (未来，研究人员希望探寻这种鸟的大脑中哪些区域负责它们在几何方面的出众能力。)”可知，后续会研究乌鸦大脑中负责几何的区域。 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。 Finding classroom strategies to support young people’s reading motivation can be challenging. ___16___To avoid the guesswork, you are offered some effective methods for your pupils.

Calling on号召，呼吁；B. Pointing at指向；C. Turning to转向；D. Waiting for等待。根据语境以及下文“I smiled. “Don’t worry — we won’t be entering.””可知，老师一直走在队伍前面，到达目的地后，需要转过身来面对学生才能开始说话。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. joy快乐，喜悦；B. fear恐惧，害怕；C. anger愤怒，生气；D. hope希望。根据后文“let fear take over”可知，此处指的是学生们太害怕未知的事物了。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. heard听到；B. missed错过，未注意到；C. avoided避免；D. recorded记录。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders”可知，因为学生们全神贯注于对未知的恐惧，所以错过了身边的鸟鸣和阳光。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. beauty美景，美好；B. harmony和谐；C. warmth温暖；D. mystery神秘。根据上文“the birds singing”和“the sunlight filtering through the leaves”可知，都是大自然中具体的美好事物，用“beauty”可以概括性地指代这些身边的风景。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：“所以……我们总是过于担忧未来，以至于忘记了当下该做什么？”A. refuse拒绝；B. pretend假装；C. forget忘记；D. hate讨厌。根据上文“we worry so much about the future”可知，杰克的感悟是对老师观点的总结：人们过度担忧未来，以至于忘记了活在当下。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：“正是如此，”我回答道，“生活是一段旅程。”A. game游戏；B. battle战斗；C. gift礼物；D. journey旅程。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders.”可知，此处指的是“生活是一场旅程”，与后文“错过沿途的奇迹”完美呼应。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：这个道理虽然简单却意义深远：当下塑造着未来。A. present当下，现在；B. chance机会；C. effort努力；D. luck运气。根据下文“Don’t let fear steal today’s gifts.”可知，此处为文章主旨升华：当下塑造未来，不要让恐惧偷走今天的礼物。与前文“live now”“today’s gifts”形成完美呼应。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When visiting Chongqing for the first time, Joshua Guvi was worried that the city he ____36____ (see) on social media couldn’t possibly be as cool in real life.

We made it within one and a half hours, which is really something! We planned to get lunch and then bike back to Macon, a city on the Saone River where I was staying with Gabriel’s family for the summer. It was market day, bustling with locals buying groceries and tourists hunting for souvenirs. We bought a long, thin loaf of bread called a baguette and some Brie, a soft cheese I’m obsessed with. It tastes awesome with the crispy crust of the baguette. While eating, I noticed a girl in a USA Basketball T-shirt smiling at us. Basketball is popular in France too. You can even watch NBA games on TV. The girl stopped to buy cookies with someone that I guessed was her mom because they looked so much alike. We later saw her and her mom by the river, enjoying pastries(糕点) on a bench near a riverboat named Voyageur, which had docked earlier. Then they boarded the boat. As it was preparing to leave, I spotted a colorful shopping bag on the bench. The girl had left it! Gabriel and I called out to her in French and English, waving the bag. When the girl noticed us, she was surprised but disappointed as the boat began to leave. Gabriel suggested throwing it to her, but I feared it would fall into the river. We had to find another way ! Running alongside the boat, Gabriel learned from a sailor that the next stop was Macon-our destination as well. It would take the boat just under two hours at a speed of 12 knots. Gabriel searched on the phone about the speed. “That’s 22 kilometers-or 14 miles-per hour,” he said. “Do you think we can keep up?” I asked. With a laugh, he replied, “We’re about to find out!” 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。 I threw the bag over my shoulder, and we set off. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The girl’s eyes lit up with astonishment while her mom clapped in delight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I threw the bag over my shoulder, and we set off . We pedaled as fast as we could, our hearts pounding with excitement and determination.We skillfully navigated through the traffic, taking sharp turns with precision and Gabriel occasionally glancing at his phone to monitor our speed.Our legs burned with effort, but the thought of returning the girl’s bag kept us going.

The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points (and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time, and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: 1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. 2. A maximum of six points will be awarded each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. LWS Building. D. MTR Station. 2. What are participants required to do? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Complete a round trip. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Choose a pre-set route. 3. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 6 B The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 4. Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 5. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 6. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C. He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. C A new paper published in Environmental Research Letters has some warning news for people living in the lower 48 states: You may be at risk from river flooding and not even know it until the water starts to rise. In fact, the study, estimates of present and future flood risk in the United States, found that 41 million U. S. residents are at risk from flooding along rivers. That’s three times more than current estimates based on the flood maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , which primarily maps the areas at risk for 1-in-100-year floods in populous (人口众多的) river basins. Why does the big difference come into being? As always, it’s all about the data. Generally, FEMA prioritizes risk-assessment areas based on their population; reserving expensive field-work methodologies (研究方法) for the more populous river basins, but many other rivers have not yet been mapped at all. The size of the USA means that flood maps made in this way are incomplete. It would be too expensive and time-consuming to survey every river basin in America. The national-scale flood maps produced by FEMA leave the flood risk of many parts of the country unaccounted for. For this research, scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology that avoids the defects of the FEMA approach, where individual catchments (流域) are studied by making use of big data. The study used a new high-resolution model, produced by the flood-mapping organization Fathom, which copies floods on all rivers across the entire continental United States. “We were all surprised by how many people are actually exposed to freshwater flooding in the USA,” said Oliver Wing, lead researcher on the study and a PhD student at the University of Bristol. “It’s particularly worrisome considering that most of these people aren’t even aware of the risk they face. This study helps fill that critical information gap.” 8. What did the new paper intend to tell readers? A. The mistakes made by FEMA. B. The serious situation of the flood. C. The populous river basins of the USA. D. The unseen risk of the flood in the USA. 9. Why is the map produced by FEMA incomplete? A. It’s dangerous to research all the rivers. B. The size of the USA is too big. C. It ignores less populous rivers. D. The efficiency of making it is low. 10. What does the underlined word “defects” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Shortcomings. B. Potential. C. Consumption. D. Contributions. 11. What attitude does Oliver Wing have to the study? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Uncaring. D It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to-7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures. With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier — the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four-sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly. The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage.” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tubingen in Germany. In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) — at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says. 12. What does the recent study reveal about crows? A. They can draw simple figures with tools. B. They can distinguish basic geometric shapes. C. They can do easy math calculations. D. They can recognize human voices and faces. 13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape-recognition task? A. By showing the figures with different colors. B. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes. C. By shortening the time for the crows to respond. D. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Crows’ food-searching advantage. B. Survival benefits of crows’ cognition. C. Geometric potential’s role in crow navigation. D. Reasons why crows evolved shape recognition. 15. What is the follow-up step for future study? A. Studying crows’ brain areas for geometry. B. Comparing human and crow cerebral cortex. C. Exploring crows’ other complex brain functions. D. Investigating causes of crows’ flexible behaviors. 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。 Finding classroom strategies to support young people’s reading motivation can be challenging. ___16___To avoid the guesswork, you are offered some effective methods for your pupils.

We made it within one and a half hours, which is really something! We planned to get lunch and then bike back to Macon, a city on the Saone River where I was staying with Gabriel’s family for the summer. It was market day, bustling with locals buying groceries and tourists hunting for souvenirs. We bought a long, thin loaf of bread called a baguette and some Brie, a soft cheese I’m obsessed with. It tastes awesome with the crispy crust of the baguette. While eating, I noticed a girl in a USA Basketball T-shirt smiling at us. Basketball is popular in France too. You can even watch NBA games on TV. The girl stopped to buy cookies with someone that I guessed was her mom because they looked so much alike. We later saw her and her mom by the river, enjoying pastries(糕点) on a bench near a riverboat named Voyageur, which had docked earlier. Then they boarded the boat. As it was preparing to leave, I spotted a colorful shopping bag on the bench. The girl had left it! Gabriel and I called out to her in French and English, waving the bag. When the girl noticed us, she was surprised but disappointed as the boat began to leave. Gabriel suggested throwing it to her, but I feared it would fall into the river. We had to find another way ! Running alongside the boat, Gabriel learned from a sailor that the next stop was Macon-our destination as well. It would take the boat just under two hours at a speed of 12 knots. Gabriel searched on the phone about the speed. “That’s 22 kilometers-or 14 miles-per hour,” he said. “Do you think we can keep up?” I asked. With a laugh, he replied, “We’re about to find out!” 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。 I threw the bag over my shoulder, and we set off. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The girl’s eyes lit up with astonishment while her mom clapped in delight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
