Growing up, Danielle Belleny was always outdoors, picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own. She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology, but that’s what she was learning about. She wanted to be a vet, a person who can treat sick or injured animals, at first. She said, “I always knew I wanted to work with animals, and as a kid, that was the only job I knew where I could do that.” But when Belleny was in college, her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary (兽医学). Later, Belleny started working on research projects. One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite. For another, she spent time feeding goats, as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them. Belleny’s current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors. It also lets her work with people. “In the mornings, I’m usually out the door before sunrise,” she says. She observes birds, keeping track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit. She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm. Her work takes her all around Texas. Outside of work, young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years. Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May, 2022. Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding, which is scheduled to come out in spring 2024. Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers. “Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries. If you’re into wildlife biology, go to a library and find some field guides. After learning much information, you can do research work more easily”. 4. What did Belleny want to do at the very beginning? A. Protecting wildlife. B. Watching birds daily. C. Working as a vet. D. Looking after goats. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Belleny? A. Her research reports. B. Her field work. C. Her link with animals. D. Her services to farmers. 6. What service can Belleny provide for landowners in her current job? A. Writing reports. B. Indoor consultations. C. Wildlife photography. D. Wildlife protection advice. 7. What advice does Belleny offer to young people considering careers? A. Explore diverse interests through books. B. Attend wildlife biology workshops. C. Pursue a degree in biology. D. Explore nature outdoors. C “One person’s rubbish is another’s jet fuel(燃料)?” Though surprising, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign claim to have developed a method to transform food waste into jet fuel. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, show the resulting fuel can be used directly in aircraft and meets all industry standards for conventional jet fuel. This proof of concept offers new hope for aviation to reach its net-zero carbon emission(排放) goal in three decades. “In a linear(线性的) economy, we just produce something, use it and throw it away,” noted Professor Yuanhui Zhang. “Here, we recover energy and materials from waste to make a usable product, filling a key gap in the circular economy.” The United States Environmental Protection Agency revealed transportation accounted for 29% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, with commercial aviation making up 7%. While battery-powered airplanes are possible for some shorter flights, they simply lack energy for long-distance travel. Some data suggest that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) extracted from biomass can reduce emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel, but its application has long been unattainable due to poor chemical components. Food waste addresses this issue. In this new experiment, the team collected food waste from nearby processing plants. They then used a chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction including removing salt, ash and water and applying catalytic hydrotreating (催化加氢处理) to removing other undesirable elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. As a result, the new aviation fuels passed screening tests by the Federal Aviation Administration. Theoretically, it can power commercial airplanes. While the technology is proven pragmatic, expanding its application to meet the fuel demands of entire passenger aircraft remains challenging, requiring time, resources, and investment. “Our research solves the scientific and engineering problems, and then the industry can step in,” Zhang said. 8. What is the importance of the findings? A. They offer a more effective way to deal with food waste. B. They help aircraft companies save a lot of money on fuel. C. They provide a new way to achieve aviation’s carbon goal. D. They turn the linear economy into a circular economy worldwide. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Conventional jet fuel is less environmentally friendly. B. SAF extracted from biomass has been put into wide use. C. Battery-powered airplanes are suitable for longer flights. D. The main reason for US air pollution is commercial aviation. 10. How is the experiment described in paragraph 4? A. In time order. B. By procedural steps. C. Through cause and effect. D. With comparisons and examples. 11. What does the word “pragmatic” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. Plain. B. Theoretical. C. Complex. D. Practical. D When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers’ produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. “We actually started just running everything off a laptop, and I would be there in the row coding. Chi would be making changes mechanically,” Contino, now CEO, told TechCrunch. The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine. The tech currently works with tomatoes and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future. Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can’t be harvested when they are ready, they rot and result in lost profits for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon. Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms. Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech. Four Growers now works with five customers, and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes. Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years. “It’s not really a labor replacement. It’s more of an augmentation (增强),” Contino said. “As the labor force shrinks, and there are fewer people willing to do it, it’s putting them to more comfortable positions and allowing one person to be able to do a lot more.” 12. What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse? A. Identify crops’ maturity. B. Take pictures for the ripe fruit. C. Monitor the surroundings. D. Distinguish tomatoes from other plants. 13. Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3? A. To express concern about the farm profits. B. To stress the necessity of harvesting robots. C. To show the achievements of Four Growers. D. To call for public support for the farm industry. 14. According to Contino, what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers? A. A wider range of crops. B. Greener than outside farms. C. A greater number of consumers. D. Higher harvesting frequency. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming. B. Seed for a Farm’s Future — Farm Management. C. Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest. D. Labor Shortages and Farmer Adaptation Strategies. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture this: everyone’s gathered around the table, plates full, but half the family stares at glowing screens instead of each other’s faces. This scene plays out in countless homes across America every single night. What started as occasional phone checks has evolved into overall device dependency that follows families right to their dining table. Remember when meals meant storytelling, laughter, and actual eye contact? ____16____ Before smartphones existed, families naturally gathered around the dining table to share their day, discuss plans, and enjoy each other’s company. ____17____ Research shows that the average American family spends less than 20 minutes eating dinner together, with much of that time spent interacting with screens. The cell phone transformed from a communication tool into a dining companion. ____18____ Unlike real conversation, screens demand attention without giving anything meaningful back to the family dynamic. The physical health consequences are equally concerning. Mindless eating becomes the norm when attention splits between food and screens. People eat faster, chew less, and often consume more calories without realizing it. ____19____ Creating a phone-free zone can transform food time from a rushed obligation into genuine family time that everyone looks forward to. When screens disappear from the table, something magical happens: People start noticing each other again. ____20____ Even the food tastes better when everyone is fully engaged in what they’re eating. A. Frankly, it’s not great company. B. Those days weren’t that long ago. C. That dinner wasn’t unique, and that’s the problem. D. Dinner conversations teach children essential skills. E. Technology has slowly but surely entered our dining spaces. F. Conversations flow more naturally and laughter comes more easily. G. This habit contributes to poor digestion and unhealthy eating patterns. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In the 1980s I worked in Sudan. One day I was returning from El Obeid to the capital, Khartoum.

The stars told us we were headed west while he ____24____ we were still headed north-east. The ____25____ emotion was not fear but ____26____. The Sudanese people were well known for their ____27____, so we weren’t worried about our ____28____ as foreigners. We were just in need of rest. Finally, a small village began to take shape out of the darkness, made up mostly of grass huts (小屋). We stopped to ask for ____29____ and discovered we’d driven eight hours in a huge circle, ____30____ back to El Obeid. The villagers told us to stay. In a moment, they had ____31____ a hut, put four beds in there, complete with fresh bedclothes and wished us goodnight — an offer that, having lost all faith in our driver’s navigational (导航的) skills, we ____32____. In the morning they ____33____ a huge breakfast with fruit, tea and bread. Here we were, a bunch of relatively well-off foreigners, offered luxurious ____34____ that the villagers could ill afford in a dry sandy landscape where life was incredibly hard. Their ____35____ still moves me today. 21. A. pain B. noise C. hunger D. heat 22. A. showed up B. settled down C. set off D. pulled over 23. A. lost B. anxious C. hesitant D. sleepy 24.

A. goods B. rewards C. gifts D. treats 35. A. wisdom B. generosity C. courage D. bravery 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文或句子，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Ding Shumin, a Beijing native in her 60s, stood at the counter of a pastry shop in Beijing, carefully ____36____ (select) mooncakes. One for herself, another for a relative, a few for friends — and some for her grandson. Ding packed about 20. She could have chosen chocolate, durian and some other contemporary flavors. Instead, she ____37____ (stick) to the taste she has loved since childhood: wuren, a traditional filling made with nuts and seeds. Five mooncakes were first bundled in brown kraft paper, then wrapped in bright red paper bearing the shop’s name and the flavor in black calligraphy, before ____38____ (tie) with coarse twine (粗麻绳). There was no complicated gift box — just a humble wrapping that has survived from another era. For Li Baozhi, who has been in the trade for decades and now works with a time-honored food brand known for traditional Beijing flavors, the appeal of the traditional ____39____ (variety) lies in their simplicity. “The sales were even ____40____ (strong) in the past, because there was less choice, but now people have more options — you can eat mooncakes, or hairy crabs instead.” But preserving tradition does not mean freezing it in time. A mooncake that costs just a few yuan can carry more meaning than an expensive gift box, he noted. That down-to-earth quality may be precisely ____41____ gives traditional mooncakes staying power. Yet the ritual (仪式) has proved difficult ____42____ (replace). At the bakery ____43____ customer Ding shopped, several thousand mooncakes are sold daily. At the busiest point before the festival, sales can climb to 10,000 or even 20,000 pieces a day. In nearby Qianmen, a historic district in central Beijing, 53-year-old Zhai Guangjun runs another traditional bakery ____44____ (locate) inside a hutong. He started selling mooncakes about a month before the festival, ____45____ most customers coming from the neighborhood. For many, buying old-fashioned mooncakes is less about novelty than memory — a small edible link to childhood and to the annual promise of family reunions. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，在学校组织的“假期艺术欣赏”活动中，有一幅画给你留下了深刻印象。请你给英国朋友Mark写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 简要介绍令你印象深刻的这幅画（如作品名称、作者和画面主要内容）； 2. 简要谈谈你的感想（至少两点）。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Mark, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 47. 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。 Carlos, a music teacher, was preparing a dance for the school show, whose theme was spring. Every afternoon, the music room was filled with laughter and the light thud (咚咚声) of little feet. Carlos taught the students movements that celebrated the season. He loved watching them bounce, spin, and leap to the rhythm. The room was alive with energy, alive with motion, alive with spring. But there was something that weighed on his heart. A girl named Luna always sat quietly in the corner. Carlos knew that Luna had difficulty walking. Her legs did not move like those of the other children. Day after day, he saw her sitting there, and each time he felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He noticed the way her eyes followed the other children as they moved across the floor. There was longing in those eyes — a quiet, painful wish to be one of them. He wanted to include her. But how? The dance had been built around movements Luna could not do. Then one afternoon, Carlos was demonstrating a new set of steps. Soft music drifted through the room — a gentle tune about spring, about tiny green shoots pushing through the cold earth. The students followed along, pretending to be seeds waking from winter sleep. Carlos turned around to check on their progress. That was when he saw Luna. She was still sitting in her corner, but her small hands were moving gently in the air. Her fingers opened like tender leaves unfolding. They reached upward like a young plant searching for sunlight after a long winter. Her upper body swayed (摇摆) slightly, like a small tree bending in a soft spring breeze (风). She was not just watching. She was dancing with her hands — a small, quiet dance of spring, of life beginning again. She looked like a tiny tree, still delicate, yet already reaching for the light. Her fingers trembled like new leaves, fragile in the cold air, yet brave enough to appear. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: Carlo s felt something hit his chest — a tiny tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Then came the school show. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级10月限时训练 英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。 1.

Growing up, Danielle Belleny was always outdoors, picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own. She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology, but that’s what she was learning about. She wanted to be a vet, a person who can treat sick or injured animals, at first. She said, “I always knew I wanted to work with animals, and as a kid, that was the only job I knew where I could do that.” But when Belleny was in college, her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary (兽医学). Later, Belleny started working on research projects. One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite. For another, she spent time feeding goats, as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them. Belleny’s current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors. It also lets her work with people. “In the mornings, I’m usually out the door before sunrise,” she says. She observes birds, keeping track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit. She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm. Her work takes her all around Texas. Outside of work, young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years. Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May, 2022. Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding, which is scheduled to come out in spring 2024. Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers. “Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries. If you’re into wildlife biology, go to a library and find some field guides. After learning much information, you can do research work more easily”. 4. What did Belleny want to do at the very beginning? A. Protecting wildlife. B. Watching birds daily. C. Working as a vet. D. Looking after goats. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Belleny? A. Her research reports. B. Her field work. C. Her link with animals. D. Her services to farmers. 6. What service can Belleny provide for landowners in her current job? A. Writing reports. B. Indoor consultations. C. Wildlife photography. D. Wildlife protection advice. 7. What advice does Belleny offer to young people considering careers? A. Explore diverse interests through books. B. Attend wildlife biology workshops. C. Pursue a degree in biology. D. Explore nature outdoors. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Danielle Belleny从热爱自然的儿童成长为野生动物生物学家的经历，介绍了她的职业发展、日常工作以及对年轻人的建议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She wanted to be a vet, a person who can treat sick or injured animals, at first.(起初，她想成为一名兽医，也就是能够治疗生病或受伤动物的人。)”可知，Belleny最初想成为一名兽医。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“In the mornings, I’m usually out the door before sunrise(早上，我通常在日出前出门)”和“She observes birds, keeping track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit.(她观察鸟类，记录不同种类的鸟类。她还会寻找该地区其他动物活动的迹象。午餐时间左右，她会回家写报告。下午，她又出发去另一个地点考察。)”可知，本段主要描述Belleny的实地工作。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm.(她就如何保护生活在他们农场上的野生动物向人们提供建议。)”可知，Belleny为土地所有者提供野生动物保护建议。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries.(通过书籍和图书馆尝试你感兴趣的一切事物。)”可知，Belleny建议年轻人通过书籍探索多样的兴趣。故选A。 C “One person’s rubbish is another’s jet fuel(燃料)?” Though surprising, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign claim to have developed a method to transform food waste into jet fuel. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, show the resulting fuel can be used directly in aircraft and meets all industry standards for conventional jet fuel. This proof of concept offers new hope for aviation to reach its net-zero carbon emission(排放) goal in three decades. “In a linear(线性的) economy, we just produce something, use it and throw it away,” noted Professor Yuanhui Zhang. “Here, we recover energy and materials from waste to make a usable product, filling a key gap in the circular economy.” The United States Environmental Protection Agency revealed transportation accounted for 29% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022, with commercial aviation making up 7%. While battery-powered airplanes are possible for some shorter flights, they simply lack energy for long-distance travel. Some data suggest that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) extracted from biomass can reduce emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel, but its application has long been unattainable due to poor chemical components. Food waste addresses this issue. In this new experiment, the team collected food waste from nearby processing plants. They then used a chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction including removing salt, ash and water and applying catalytic hydrotreating (催化加氢处理) to removing other undesirable elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. As a result, the new aviation fuels passed screening tests by the Federal Aviation Administration. Theoretically, it can power commercial airplanes. While the technology is proven pragmatic, expanding its application to meet the fuel demands of entire passenger aircraft remains challenging, requiring time, resources, and investment. “Our research solves the scientific and engineering problems, and then the industry can step in,” Zhang said. 8. What is the importance of the findings? A. They offer a more effective way to deal with food waste. B. They help aircraft companies save a lot of money on fuel. C. They provide a new way to achieve aviation’s carbon goal. D. They turn the linear economy into a circular economy worldwide. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Conventional jet fuel is less environmentally friendly. B. SAF extracted from biomass has been put into wide use. C. Battery-powered airplanes are suitable for longer flights. D. The main reason for US air pollution is commercial aviation. 10. How is the experiment described in paragraph 4? A. In time order. B. By procedural steps. C. Through cause and effect. D. With comparisons and examples. 11. What does the word “pragmatic” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. Plain. B. Theoretical. C. Complex. D. Practical. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的研究人员声称开发出一种将食物垃圾转化为航空燃油的方法，该发现为航空业实现净零碳排放目标提供了新途径，文章还阐述了该技术的实验过程以及应用面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This proof of concept offers new hope for aviation to reach its net - zero carbon emission(排放) goal in three decades.(这一概念验证为航空业在三十年内实现净零碳排放目标带来了新的希望)”可知，这些发现的重要性在于为实现航空业的碳目标提供了一种新途径。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Some data suggest that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) extracted from biomass can reduce emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel(一些数据表明，与传统航空燃油相比，从生物质中提取的可持续航空燃料（SAF）可将排放量减少高达80%)”可知，传统航空燃油排放量大，不太环保。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In this new experiment, the team collected food waste from nearby processing plants. They then used a chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction including removing salt, ash and water and applying catalytic hydrotreating (催化加氢处理) to removing other undesirable elements such as oxygen and nitrogen.(在这个新实验中，研究小组从附近的加工厂收集食物垃圾。然后他们使用了一种称为水热液化的化学过程，包括去除盐、灰和水，并应用催化加氢处理去除其他不需要的元素，如氧和氮)”可知，该段是按照实验的步骤来描述的。故B项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“As a result, the new aviation fuels passed screening tests by the Federal Aviation Administration. Theoretically, it can power commercial airplanes.(结果，这种新型航空燃料通过了美国联邦航空管理局的筛选测试。从理论上讲，它可以为商用飞机提供动力)”以及第五段“While the technology is proven pragmatic, expanding its application to meet the fuel demands of entire passenger aircraft remains challenging, requiring time, resources, and investment.(虽然这项技术被证明是……，但将其应用扩展到满足整个客机的燃料需求仍然具有挑战性，需要时间、资源和投资)”可知，该技术通过了测试，说明是可行的、实用的，所以“pragmatic”意思是“实用的”。故选D项。 D When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers’ produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. “We actually started just running everything off a laptop, and I would be there in the row coding. Chi would be making changes mechanically,” Contino, now CEO, told TechCrunch. The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine. The tech currently works with tomatoes and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future. Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can’t be harvested when they are ready, they rot and result in lost profits for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon. Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms. Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech. Four Growers now works with five customers, and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes. Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years. “It’s not really a labor replacement. It’s more of an augmentation (增强),” Contino said. “As the labor force shrinks, and there are fewer people willing to do it, it’s putting them to more comfortable positions and allowing one person to be able to do a lot more.” 12. What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse? A. Identify crops’ maturity. B. Take pictures for the ripe fruit. C. Monitor the surroundings. D. Distinguish tomatoes from other plants. 13. Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3? A. To express concern about the farm profits. B. To stress the necessity of harvesting robots. C. To show the achievements of Four Growers. D. To call for public support for the farm industry. 14. According to Contino, what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers? A. A wider range of crops. B. Greener than outside farms. C. A greater number of consumers. D. Higher harvesting frequency. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming. B. Seed for a Farm’s Future — Farm Management. C. Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest. D. Labor Shortages and Farmer Adaptation Strategies. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍机器人初创公司Four Growers专注于为温室农场开发自动化采摘机器人，利用多摄像头技术识别作物成熟度，并精准操作机械臂进行采摘。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“  The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine.(这些机器人被设定为通过多台立体相机观测作物，识别出符合农户需求的成熟度等级的农产品——不同农户对成熟度的判定标准存在差异，以此辅助操作机械臂避开藤蔓上尚未成熟的果实。)”可知，机器人通过利用多个立体摄像机来观察作物，从而识别出成熟度合适的农产品。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can’t be harvested when they are ready, they rot and result in lost profits for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon.(拥有足够的劳动力来采收作物至关重要，因为如果作物在成熟时无法被及时采收，它们就会腐烂，给农场造成利润损失。美国州农业部门协会2024年的劳动力报告指出，农业正面临“严重的工人短缺”问题，且这一状况短期内不会得到改善。)”可知，作者提及美国州农业部协会的2024年的劳动力报告是为了强调当前研发采摘机器人的必要性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech.(与户外农场不同，温室农场几乎全年都可以种植作物，生产效率也比户外农场更高。同时它们的采收频次远高于户外农场，这让温室农场成为采购这类农业技术的理想对象。)”可知，温室农场有更高的收获频率，这使它成为Four Growers机器人产品的市场目标。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers’ produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. (当布兰登・孔蒂诺与联合创始人丹・奇在研发Four Growers公司的农产品采摘机器人时，他们几乎整整一年都住在温室大棚里)”和第二段中“The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses.(最终便诞生了Four Growers，它制造专门用于在温室大棚内自主采收作物的机器人)”可知，文章介绍机器人初创公司Four Growers专注于为温室农场开发自动化采摘机器人，利用多摄像头技术识别作物成熟度，并精准操作机械臂进行采摘，C项“Four Growers机器人帮助收获”最适合作为标题。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture this: everyone’s gathered around the table, plates full, but half the family stares at glowing screens instead of each other’s faces. This scene plays out in countless homes across America every single night. What started as occasional phone checks has evolved into overall device dependency that follows families right to their dining table. Remember when meals meant storytelling, laughter, and actual eye contact? ____16____ Before smartphones existed, families naturally gathered around the dining table to share their day, discuss plans, and enjoy each other’s company. ____17____ Research shows that the average American family spends less than 20 minutes eating dinner together, with much of that time spent interacting with screens.

One for herself, another for a relative, a few for friends — and some for her grandson. Ding packed about 20. She could have chosen chocolate, durian and some other contemporary flavors. Instead, she ____37____ (stick) to the taste she has loved since childhood: wuren, a traditional filling made with nuts and seeds. Five mooncakes were first bundled in brown kraft paper, then wrapped in bright red paper bearing the shop’s name and the flavor in black calligraphy, before ____38____ (tie) with coarse twine (粗麻绳). There was no complicated gift box — just a humble wrapping that has survived from another era. For Li Baozhi, who has been in the trade for decades and now works with a time-honored food brand known for traditional Beijing flavors, the appeal of the traditional ____39____ (variety) lies in their simplicity. “The sales were even ____40____ (strong) in the past, because there was less choice, but now people have more options — you can eat mooncakes, or hairy crabs instead.” But preserving tradition does not mean freezing it in time. A mooncake that costs just a few yuan can carry more meaning than an expensive gift box, he noted. That down-to-earth quality may be precisely ____41____ gives traditional mooncakes staying power. Yet the ritual (仪式) has proved difficult ____42____ (replace). At the bakery ____43____ customer Ding shopped, several thousand mooncakes are sold daily. At the busiest point before the festival, sales can climb to 10,000 or even 20,000 pieces a day.

Every afternoon, the music room was filled with laughter and the light thud (咚咚声) of little feet. Carlos taught the students movements that celebrated the season. He loved watching them bounce, spin, and leap to the rhythm. The room was alive with energy, alive with motion, alive with spring. But there was something that weighed on his heart. A girl named Luna always sat quietly in the corner. Carlos knew that Luna had difficulty walking. Her legs did not move like those of the other children. Day after day, he saw her sitting there, and each time he felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He noticed the way her eyes followed the other children as they moved across the floor. There was longing in those eyes — a quiet, painful wish to be one of them. He wanted to include her. But how? The dance had been built around movements Luna could not do. Then one afternoon, Carlos was demonstrating a new set of steps. Soft music drifted through the room — a gentle tune about spring, about tiny green shoots pushing through the cold earth. The students followed along, pretending to be seeds waking from winter sleep. Carlos turned around to check on their progress. That was when he saw Luna. She was still sitting in her corner, but her small hands were moving gently in the air. Her fingers opened like tender leaves unfolding. They reached upward like a young plant searching for sunlight after a long winter. Her upper body swayed (摇摆) slightly, like a small tree bending in a soft spring breeze (风). She was not just watching. She was dancing with her hands — a small, quiet dance of spring, of life beginning again. She looked like a tiny tree, still delicate, yet already reaching for the light. Her fingers trembled like new leaves, fragile in the cold air, yet brave enough to appear. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: Carlo s felt something hit his chest — a tiny tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Then came the school show. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Carlos felt something hit his chest — a tiny tree. In that moment, he understood. Luna did not need to copy the other children’s jumps and turns. She could become the very heart of the dance. She could be a little tree in spring — still, quiet, yet full of life. The other children could dance around her like wind, rain, and sunlight. Carlos walked over, knelt beside her, and gently told her what he had in mind. “Your hands are beautiful,” he said softly. “They can tell the story of spring.” Luna looked up at him, surprised. Then her eyes slowly lit up. She nodded eagerly, her face shining with joy, for nothing made her happier than the thought of finally joining the performance. Then came the school show. Warm golden light fell across the stage as the music began, soft and hopeful. The other children skipped and twirled like spring breezes, full of energy and delight. But at the center of the stage sat Luna, dressed in pale green. Slowly, her hands rose into the light. Her fingers trembled, opened, and stretched upward like new leaves reaching for the sun. Around her, the other children moved in circles like wind dancing through the trees. The audience grew quiet, watching her every movement. And when her hands finally opened wide, as if a tiny tree had fully awakened to spring, the hall burst into applause. Carlos felt tears sting his eyes. At that moment, Luna was no longer the girl who sat in the corner. She had become spring itself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了音乐老师Carlos为校园春季主题舞蹈排练，发现行动不便的Luna只能默默旁观，却用双手演绎出春日树木的姿态，Carlos深受触动的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Carlos受到启发，想到适合Luna的表演形式，主动沟通邀请她加入舞蹈，描写Luna惊喜、开心的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写正式演出的场景，描写舞台表演过程、观众的反应以及演出带来的感动与结局。 2.续写线索：获得灵感——构思全新舞蹈编排——主动与Luna沟通——Luna欣然接受并满心欢喜——校园演出正式开始——全体同学配合表演，Luna成为舞台核心——表演打动全场，观众热烈鼓掌——演出圆满落幕 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 旋转；转动：twirl/spin 伸展：stretch/extend 情绪类： 惊讶的：surprised/amazed 满怀希望的：hopeful/promising 【点睛】【高分句型1】She nodded eagerly, her face shining with joy, for nothing made her happier than the thought of finally joining the performance.
