Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）What distinguishes an outstanding city? The Global Cities Index assesses cities based on diverse criteria, including: ·Business – The presence of multinational corporations. How many global companies are in the city? Does the city do a lot of international business? ·People – The city’s ability to attract talents globally. Does the city attract talented people from around the world? What’s proportion of residents with higher education? ·Media – The accessibility of varied information channels. How many residents have Internet access? ·Entertainment – The availability of leisure and cultural activities. Does the city have many entertainment options: museums, sports, music, and different types of restaurants? Future Leaders     Most cities on the Global Cities Index are strong in certain areas. Beijing’s strength, for example, is business, while Los Angeles’s strength is people. Which cities will become more powerful in the future? ·Asia: Beijing and Shanghai are both business centers and will continue to grow. In a few years, they will potentially match New York’s influence. Indian cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi have a lot of business potential, too. ·South America: urban centers like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil will gain influence. In these cities, the middle class is growing, and life for many people is improving. ·The Middle East: Istanbul in Turkey, Cairo in Egypt, and the cities of the United Arab Emirates such as Dubai will hold more power in international politics and business, especially in helping East and West work together. In 10 years, the top cities on the index may be different, but one thing is certain: With over 50 percent of the world’s people now living in urban areas, tomorrow’s global cities will be more powerful than ever. 21．(2.5分)Which aspect is considered in the Global Cities Index?

Does the city attract talented people from around the world? What’s proportion of residents with higher education?(人才——城市吸引全球人才的能力。这个城市吸引了来自世界各地的人才吗?受过高等教育的居民比例是多少?)”可知，全球城市指数的评估标准中包括人才这一项内容，在该项内容中涉及到的事受过高等教育的居民所占的比例，由此可知，教育是全球城市指数考虑的方面。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据Future Leaders部分中的“Asia: Beijing and Shanghai are both business centers and will continue to grow. In a few years, they will potentially match New York’s influence. Indian cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi have a lot of business potential, too.(亚洲：北京和上海都是商业中心，并将继续发展。几年后，它们的影响力可能会赶上纽约。孟买和新德里等印度城市也有很大的商业潜力。)”可知，亚洲的北京和上海市商业中心，孟买和新德里等印度城市也有很大的商业潜力，结合“The Middle East: Istanbul in Turkey, Cairo in Egypt, and the cities of the United Arab Emirates such as Dubai will hold more power in international politics and business, especially in helping East and West work together.(中东：土耳其的伊斯坦布尔、埃及的开罗和阿联酋的迪拜等城市将在国际政治和商业中拥有更大的影响力，尤其是在帮助东西方合作方面。)”可知，中东地区土耳其的伊斯坦布尔、埃及的开罗以及阿联酋的迪拜等城市在国际政治和商业中将拥有很大的影响力，由此可知，亚洲和中东地区预计将在商业领域增长。故选C项。 23．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“What distinguishes an outstanding city?

Zhang met her husband in Dali and worked as a teacher in a local school. Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this place with which she was too familiar. She volunteered to teach in a middle school in Huaping, a poverty-stricken county located in the mountains. Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority only worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered that many female students would just disappear after studying for a while and some were even pulled out of class just before the college entrance examination. Zhang came up with an idea which, to many, seemed crazy: to found a free high school for girls. In 2008, with the help of the local government and personal donations, she founded the Huaping All-girls High School. With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, Zhang often works overtime despite suffering from several kinds of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains, talking to the parents about the importance of education for girls. The efforts paid off. Many female students have graduated from this school and gone to college. “To educate a girl is to change the destiny of three generations. A cultured, responsible mother won’t let her daughter drop out of school,” Zhang said. 24．(2.5分)What probably made Zhang Guimei decide to leave the local school in Dali? A．Her husband’s death. B．Her concern for girls. C．Her love for teaching. D．Her eagerness for adventure. 25．(2.5分)What inspired Zhang to found a high school for girls? A．Difficult examinations. B．Gender inequality. C．Lack of qualified teachers. D．Encouragement from students’ parents. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Zhang Guimei? A．Pessimistic. B．Generous. C．Determined. D．Modest. 27．(2.5分)What’s the main idea of the text? A．A free high school for girls was successfully set up. B．A woman with illnesses faces ups and downs in life. C．The gender gap in education in rural areas is bridged. D．An educator’s dedication to girls’ education finally paid off. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文讲述张桂梅的人生经历，张在目睹乡村地区教育中的性别不平等现象后创办华坪女子高级中学，投身山区女孩教育事业，最终收获成果的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this place with which she was too familiar.(不幸的是，婚后不久她的丈夫就因癌症去世。悲痛之下，张桂梅决定离开这片她太过熟悉的地方。)”可知，丈夫离世促使她离开大理当地学校。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority only worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered that many female students would just disappear after studying for a while and some were even pulled out of class(久而久之，张桂梅目睹了贫困农村地区存在的教育性别差距。城乡学生本就面临优质教育的不平等获取，而传统的男性优越观念更进一步恶化了农村女孩的处境。 她发现很多女生求学一段时间后就辍学，有的甚至被迫退学)”可知，这种教育上的性别不平等促使她创办女子高中。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, Zhang often works overtime despite suffering from several kinds of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains(为了不让任何一名女孩失学，身患多种疾病的张桂梅经常超负荷工作。她走遍大山深处几乎每一户人家)”可推知，张桂梅意志坚定。 27．主旨大意题。文章围绕张桂梅这名教育工作者展开，她致力于山区女孩教育、创办免费女子高中，最后“The efforts paid off. Many female students have graduated from this school and gone to college.(努力终获回报，许多女生从这所学校毕业走进大学)”点明她的奉献最终取得成效。因此推断文章主要讲述一位教育工作者对女孩教育的奉献终于得到了回报。 （本题10分）You’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail (实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce (电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology. Super-fast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, up to 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery. Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stocks (库存) and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute rush to the grocery store because you forget to buy pet food. Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that it was out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask the Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” The assistant will tell you how many stores have it right away and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see the future when it has become standard. Convenience, experience, and options — retail will take on a new look. 28．(2.5分)What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now. B．It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future. C．Super-fast delivery has widely been used now. D．The delivery will be in two days in the future. 29．(2.5分)How does the author primarily illustrate the future of retail? A．By listing examples of future tech applications. B．By analyzing data and citing research. C．By proposing theories and using logical arguments. D．By comparing pros and cons of online and physical retail. 30．(2.5分)What will happen in the future according to the text? A．People will ask the Google Assistant to purchase goods. B．Shopping will be more convenient and effective. C．Retail will disappear gradually. D．Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．What Benefits Will High-tech Bring in the Future? B．How Will We Run the Retail Trade in the Future? C．What Will Retail Be Like in the Future? D．How Will New Technology Change the World? 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了基于当前科技，未来实体零售业可能会呈现出的样子。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.(两小时送货服务在不久的将来就会实现，亚马逊已经在尝试30分钟送货服务)”可知，未来两小时内送货是有可能的。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Super-fast delivery is coming.(超快速配送即将到来)”，第三段中“Your kitchen will resupply itself.(你的厨房会自动补货)”以及第四段中“Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it.(确切知道库存和在哪里可以买到)”可推知，作者主要通过列举未来科技应用来阐述零售业的未来。故选A。 30．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Convenience, experience, and options — retail will take on a new look.(便利、体验和选择——零售业将焕然一新)”可知，未来购物将更加方便和高效。故选B。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce (电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.(鉴于零售业正从实体店逐渐转向移动和电子商务，你可能想知道，“未来的零售业会是什么样子？”没人知道。但基于当前的技术，以下是一些你可以期待看到的事情)”可知，文章主要讲述了基于当前科技，未来实体零售业可能会呈现出的样子。由此可知，C项“What Will Retail Be Like in the Future?(未来的零售业会是什么样子？)”最适合作文章标题。故选C。 （本题10分）Why move to a city? And why leave? Urban centers today see this for many reasons — the economy, crowds, lifestyle considerations, air quality, and some odd diseases perhaps. The earliest cities worldwide were born of country folk. Farmers were reliant on land-extensive economies, which encouraged them to live and spread out across the landscape in small settlements, to minimize the travel time and costs between their residences and farm plots. Then as now, though, city living was more expensive in all the ways: greater chance of crowd diseases, more competition for resources, and rising levels of systemic inequality. And astonishingly, farmers still chose to bear these costs. What happened? That question has been the source of a long-standing debate, according to Douglas Kennett, who has conducted extensive research into urbanization in Classic Maya cities. “We determined that the rise and expansion of Classic Maya cities resulted from the interaction of climate downturns, intergroup conflict, and the presence of strong economies of scale realized through capital investments in agricultural systems,” Kennett says. Using that same framework, Kennett and other researchers also determined that deurbanization set in “when the benefits of urban living no longer outweighed the costs, as environments were degraded (恶化) in cities and better climate improved the livability of rural areas where people would have more freedom and autonomy”. Indeed, the team’s initial interest was centered on the role of climate change in the decline of Classic Maya cities. “We also capitalized on major developments in computational modeling,” Kennett says. “The biggest surprise for me was that the abandonment of cities occurred under improving climatic conditions.We have long thought that the decline of Classic Maya cities partially resulted from an extended period of drought. It turns out to be a much more complicated and interesting story.” All told, the new work offers critical insights for understanding and managing contemporary and future urban evolution by establishing timeless, universal principles about how populations concentrate and spread out. 32．(2.5分)Why did early farmers live in small settlements? A．To escape from disasters and diseases. B．To enjoy a comfortable urban lifestyle. C．To boost the development of economies. D．To manage agricultural work efficiently. 33．(2.5分)What puzzle is presented about early city life in paragraph 3? A．Farmers were forced to move into cities. B．Cities failed to offer proper accommodations. C．Farmers willingly faced urban challenges. D．Rural life was more expensive than urban life. 34．(2.5分)What caused the decline of Classic Maya cities according to Kennett? A．The long period of water shortage. B．The increased appeal of rural life. C．The limitation to residents’ freedom. D．The collapse of agricultural systems. 35．(2.5分)What is the significance of the new research? A．It clarifies Classic Maya cities’ history. B．It proves climate’s role in urban decline. C．It offers general rules for urban evolution. D．It develops a computational modeling way. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章围绕城市的兴起与衰落展开，以玛雅古典时期城市的城市化与去城市化进程为研究对象，探讨人口选择进入或离开城市的核心逻辑。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Farmers were reliant on land-extensive economies, which encouraged them to live and spread out across the landscape in small settlements, to minimize the travel time and costs between their residences and farm plots.(农民依赖的是大规模的土地经济模式，这种模式促使他们分散居住在广阔地域内的小型定居点，以减少居住地与农田之间的往返时间和成本)”可知，早期农民住在小型定居点是为了缩短住所与农田之间的出行时间、降低成本，本质是为了更高效地打理农活，故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then as now, though, city living was more expensive in all the ways: greater chance of crowd diseases, more competition for resources, and rising levels of systemic inequality. And astonishingly, farmers still chose to bear these costs. What happened?(尽管如今的情况依旧如此，但城市生活在各个方面都更加昂贵：更容易传播群体性疾病、对资源的竞争更激烈、社会不平等程度也在不断上升。而令人惊讶的是，农民仍然选择承受这些代价。发生了什么？)”可知，城市生活成本更高、更容易爆发传染病、资源竞争更激烈、不平等问题更严重，但农民依然主动选择承担这些成本进入城市，故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Using that same framework, Kennett and other researchers also determined that deurbanization set in “when the benefits of urban living no longer outweighed the costs, as environments were degraded (恶化) in cities and better climate improved the livability of rural areas where people would have more freedom and autonomy”.(基于同样的理论框架，Kennett和其他研究人员还确定，当“城市生活的益处不再超过其成本，因为城市环境恶化，而更好的气候改善了农村地区的宜居性（使人们能拥有更多的自由和自主权）”时，城市化进程就会逆转)”可知，玛雅城市衰落的原因是城市环境恶化，同时气候改善提升了农村的宜居性，农村能给人们更多自由自主权，也就是农村吸引力上升了。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“All told, the new work offers critical insights for understanding and managing contemporary and future urban evolution by establishing timeless, universal principles about how populations concentrate and spread out.(总的来说，这项新研究通过确立关于人口如何聚集和分散的永恒、普遍原则，为理解并管理当代及未来的城市发展提供了关键性的见解)”可知，这项新研究建立了关于人口聚集与分散的永恒普遍原则，为理解和处理当代、未来的城市发展提供了关键思路，对应C选项“为城市演化提供了通用规律”，故选C。 （本题12.5分）I arrived at Beijing Language and Culture University in 2014, expecting my time there to last just a few years. 36(2.5分) I walk the same paths, but as a very different person. What began as a college degree has turned into a full study journey — from a college student to a graduate student, and now to the final stage of my highest degree. While China has been changing at a great pace, I remained in one place long enough to grow alongside it. 37(2.5分) Academically, staying at the same university has given me a rare sense of staying, and the opportunity to watch the campus change. New buildings have risen, facilities have improved, and more classes have been added. 38(2.5分) At the same time, I have seen my own growth: from a student taking in knowledge to a researcher beginning to contribute to it. Beyond campus, the changes of technology and daily life have been equally great. When I first arrived, cash was still widely used and mobile payments were only just beginning to appear. 39(2.5分) Convenience has become an important feature of modern Chinese society, and living through this shift has felt like watching the future happen in real time. Yet what has influenced me most is not buildings or roads, but the people. Along the way, teachers and friends have supported me with guidance and opportunities whenever I needed them. I have shared meals, celebrated festivals, and taken part in conversations that challenged my ideas and broadened my views. Through these relationships, I have come to understand the depth and diversity of Chinese society. 40(2.5分) A．It’s far beyond what any textbook can offer.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.     After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Times Change！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What is the woman watching?

The Global Cities Index assesses cities based on diverse criteria, including: ·Business – The presence of multinational corporations. How many global companies are in the city? Does the city do a lot of international business? ·People – The city’s ability to attract talents globally. Does the city attract talented people from around the world? What’s proportion of residents with higher education? ·Media – The accessibility of varied information channels. How many residents have Internet access? ·Entertainment – The availability of leisure and cultural activities. Does the city have many entertainment options: museums, sports, music, and different types of restaurants? Future Leaders     Most cities on the Global Cities Index are strong in certain areas. Beijing’s strength, for example, is business, while Los Angeles’s strength is people. Which cities will become more powerful in the future? ·Asia: Beijing and Shanghai are both business centers and will continue to grow. In a few years, they will potentially match New York’s influence. Indian cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi have a lot of business potential, too. ·South America: urban centers like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil will gain influence. In these cities, the middle class is growing, and life for many people is improving. ·The Middle East: Istanbul in Turkey, Cairo in Egypt, and the cities of the United Arab Emirates such as Dubai will hold more power in international politics and business, especially in helping East and West work together. In 10 years, the top cities on the index may be different, but one thing is certain: With over 50 percent of the world’s people now living in urban areas, tomorrow’s global cities will be more powerful than ever. 21．(2.5分)Which aspect is considered in the Global Cities Index?

Zhang met her husband in Dali and worked as a teacher in a local school. Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this place with which she was too familiar. She volunteered to teach in a middle school in Huaping, a poverty-stricken county located in the mountains. Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority only worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered that many female students would just disappear after studying for a while and some were even pulled out of class just before the college entrance examination. Zhang came up with an idea which, to many, seemed crazy: to found a free high school for girls. In 2008, with the help of the local government and personal donations, she founded the Huaping All-girls High School. With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, Zhang often works overtime despite suffering from several kinds of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains, talking to the parents about the importance of education for girls. The efforts paid off. Many female students have graduated from this school and gone to college. “To educate a girl is to change the destiny of three generations. A cultured, responsible mother won’t let her daughter drop out of school,” Zhang said. 24．(2.5分)What probably made Zhang Guimei decide to leave the local school in Dali? A．Her husband’s death. B．Her concern for girls. C．Her love for teaching. D．Her eagerness for adventure. 25．(2.5分)What inspired Zhang to found a high school for girls? A．Difficult examinations. B．Gender inequality. C．Lack of qualified teachers. D．Encouragement from students’ parents. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Zhang Guimei? A．Pessimistic. B．Generous. C．Determined.

Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce (电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology. Super-fast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, up to 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery. Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stocks (库存) and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute rush to the grocery store because you forget to buy pet food. Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that it was out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask the Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” The assistant will tell you how many stores have it right away and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see the future when it has become standard. Convenience, experience, and options — retail will take on a new look. 28．(2.5分)What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now. B．It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future. C．Super-fast delivery has widely been used now. D．The delivery will be in two days in the future. 29．(2.5分)How does the author primarily illustrate the future of retail? A．By listing examples of future tech applications. B．By analyzing data and citing research. C．By proposing theories and using logical arguments. D．By comparing pros and cons of online and physical retail. 30．(2.5分)What will happen in the future according to the text? A．People will ask the Google Assistant to purchase goods. B．Shopping will be more convenient and effective. C．Retail will disappear gradually. D．Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．What Benefits Will High-tech Bring in the Future? B．How Will We Run the Retail Trade in the Future? C．What Will Retail Be Like in the Future? D．How Will New Technology Change the World? （本题10分）Why move to a city? And why leave? Urban centers today see this for many reasons — the economy, crowds, lifestyle considerations, air quality, and some odd diseases perhaps. The earliest cities worldwide were born of country folk. Farmers were reliant on land-extensive economies, which encouraged them to live and spread out across the landscape in small settlements, to minimize the travel time and costs between their residences and farm plots. Then as now, though, city living was more expensive in all the ways: greater chance of crowd diseases, more competition for resources, and rising levels of systemic inequality. And astonishingly, farmers still chose to bear these costs. What happened? That question has been the source of a long-standing debate, according to Douglas Kennett, who has conducted extensive research into urbanization in Classic Maya cities. “We determined that the rise and expansion of Classic Maya cities resulted from the interaction of climate downturns, intergroup conflict, and the presence of strong economies of scale realized through capital investments in agricultural systems,” Kennett says. Using that same framework, Kennett and other researchers also determined that deurbanization set in “when the benefits of urban living no longer outweighed the costs, as environments were degraded (恶化) in cities and better climate improved the livability of rural areas where people would have more freedom and autonomy”. Indeed, the team’s initial interest was centered on the role of climate change in the decline of Classic Maya cities. “We also capitalized on major developments in computational modeling,” Kennett says. “The biggest surprise for me was that the abandonment of cities occurred under improving climatic conditions.We have long thought that the decline of Classic Maya cities partially resulted from an extended period of drought. It turns out to be a much more complicated and interesting story.” All told, the new work offers critical insights for understanding and managing contemporary and future urban evolution by establishing timeless, universal principles about how populations concentrate and spread out. 32．(2.5分)Why did early farmers live in small settlements? A．To escape from disasters and diseases. B．To enjoy a comfortable urban lifestyle. C．To boost the development of economies. D．To manage agricultural work efficiently. 33．(2.5分)What puzzle is presented about early city life in paragraph 3? A．Farmers were forced to move into cities. B．Cities failed to offer proper accommodations. C．Farmers willingly faced urban challenges. D．Rural life was more expensive than urban life. 34．(2.5分)What caused the decline of Classic Maya cities according to Kennett? A．The long period of water shortage. B．The increased appeal of rural life. C．The limitation to residents’ freedom. D．The collapse of agricultural systems. 35．(2.5分)What is the significance of the new research? A．It clarifies Classic Maya cities’ history. B．It proves climate’s role in urban decline. C．It offers general rules for urban evolution. D．It develops a computational modeling way. （本题12.5分）I arrived at Beijing Language and Culture University in 2014, expecting my time there to last just a few years. 36(2.5分) I walk the same paths, but as a very different person. What began as a college degree has turned into a full study journey — from a college student to a graduate student, and now to the final stage of my highest degree. While China has been changing at a great pace, I remained in one place long enough to grow alongside it. 37(2.5分) Academically, staying at the same university has given me a rare sense of staying, and the opportunity to watch the campus change. New buildings have risen, facilities have improved, and more classes have been added. 38(2.5分) At the same time, I have seen my own growth: from a student taking in knowledge to a researcher beginning to contribute to it. Beyond campus, the changes of technology and daily life have been equally great. When I first arrived, cash was still widely used and mobile payments were only just beginning to appear. 39(2.5分) Convenience has become an important feature of modern Chinese society, and living through this shift has felt like watching the future happen in real time. Yet what has influenced me most is not buildings or roads, but the people. Along the way, teachers and friends have supported me with guidance and opportunities whenever I needed them. I have shared meals, celebrated festivals, and taken part in conversations that challenged my ideas and broadened my views. Through these relationships, I have come to understand the depth and diversity of Chinese society. 40(2.5分) A．It’s far beyond what any textbook can offer. B．Studying in China has also shaped my sense of identity. C．Twelve years later, however, I am still on the same campus. D．Today, nearly every part of life is included in digital systems. E．Over the years, the changes I have observed in China have been great. F．Places that once felt strange have quietly become part of my daily life. G．There were times of missing home, not understanding the culture, and study pressure. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Mr. Henderson’s newsstand had long stood unchanged on Maple Street.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。What comedy are you watching?

Like a leaf, the surface of the house collect sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. IT uses the soil to control the homes temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect IT from strong heat. During the dark days, IT turns White and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner, because IT is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
