The parking system is card-only — no cash is accepted.(收费标准如下：前30分钟免费，31至60分钟收费2美元；每日最高收费为35美元，驶离停车场时收取。停车系统仅支持刷卡，不接受现金)”可知，停车一天封顶35美元；超过半小时后每小时收费2美元，半天是12小时，收费是24美元。因此停车一天半需要缴费：35美元+24美元=59美元。 B Maggie Doyne is caring for and educating helpless children and orphans in rural Nepal. What started with a plot of land that she purchased with her babysitting money has become a global model for poverty relief (扶贫) and development through her nonprofit organization, BlinkNow Foundation. After high school, Doyne began her work after meeting a young girl in Surkhet, Nepal (尼泊尔), whose life was ruined during the country’s decades-long civil conflict. Today, Doyne cares for 93 children, addressing their immediate needs and supporting them for long-term growth and self-sufficiency. The organization also has a separate home for at-risk girls who have been victims of harm, human trafficking (贩卖) and violence, a food and farming program that trains women and farmers, and a full-service medical clinic. Doyne and a team of 175 caregivers, teachers, and professionals work together to offer comprehensive services that address the roots of poverty. Her Kopila Valley School, once a small “bamboo shack (棚屋)”, has now served 1,000 students with state-of-the-art facilities, modern technology, and diverse course offerings. Students participate in gardening, farming, and conservation classes and are provided healthy meals to cope with poor nutrition. There is a daycare, as well as a readiness program called “Futures” to launch students toward college and job training programs. At a speaking engagement in Los Angeles, Doyne connected with a filmmaker who shared a passion for humanitarian causes and storytelling. He started documenting Doyne’s work and life story. And the two began a journey together, professionally and personally. Now married, they raise their children in Nepal among their 93 siblings (兄弟姐妹). Hope and action are ideas that Doyne made a reality two decades ago. And today, her message remains: “Keep doing what you can, no matter where you are. Keep showing up, keep loving, and keep going with your acts of kindness. It all matters.” 4. What inspired Doyne to start charity work in Nepal? A. The money she earned in her first job.  B. An encounter with a girl in Surkhet. C. The model she learned from a school.  D. A speech about global poverty relief. 5. Why does the writer mention the different branches of BlinkNow in paragraph 3? A. To display diverse BlinkNow programs.  B. To show serious problems children face. C. To suggest Doyne’s thoughtful planning.  D. To promote public support for the poor. 6. What is the “Futures” program intended for? A. Training local women in farming skills.  B. Offering medical treatment for poor girls. C. Building modern classrooms for rural children.        D. Preparing teenagers for further study and career. 7. Which can best describe Doyne’s approach to poverty relief? A. Systematic and sustainable.  B. Continuous and imaginary. C. Personalized and traditional.  D. Accidental and essential. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Maggie Doyne在尼泊尔创办非营利组织BlinkNow Foundation，帮扶贫困儿童、开展扶贫事业的经历与理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After high school, Doyne began her work after meeting a young girl in Surkhet, Nepal (尼泊尔), whose life was ruined during the country’s decades-long civil conflict. (高中毕业后，Doyne在尼泊尔苏尔凯特遇到一个女孩，这个女孩的人生因内战被毁，自此她开始了自己的帮扶工作。)”可知，是在苏尔凯特和一个女孩的相遇启发了她开始在尼泊尔的慈善工作。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The organization also has a separate home for at-risk girls who have been victims of harm, human trafficking (贩卖) and violence, a food and farming program that trains women and farmers, and a full-service medical clinic. (该组织还设有一个专门收容曾遭受伤害、人口贩卖和暴力侵害的高危女孩之家，一个培训妇女和农民的粮食与农业项目，以及一个全方位服务的医疗诊所。)”可知，作者列举了该组织针对不同弱势群体设立的不同救助项目，旨在向读者展示BlinkNow基金会所提供的多元化援助项目。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There is a daycare, as well as a readiness program called “Futures” to launch students toward college and job training programs. (这里设有日托中心，还有一个叫作“Futures”的预备项目，助力学生迈入大学、参与职业培训项目。)”可知，这个项目的主要目的是帮助青少年为升学和就业做好准备。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Today, Doyne cares for 93 children, addressing their immediate needs and supporting them for long-term growth and self-sufficiency. (如今，Doyne照料93名孩子，解决他们当下的需求，并扶持他们实现长期成长与自立。)”以及第三段“Doyne and a team of 175 caregivers, teachers, and professionals work together to offer comprehensive services that address the roots of poverty.(Doyne和由175名护理人员、教师以及专业人员组成的团队协作，提供综合性服务，从根源上解决贫困问题。)”可知，她的扶贫方式成体系、着眼长期可持续发展，是系统化且可持续的。 C Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial (陆生的) insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate (授粉) our crops. If we don’t solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear. There are many causes for the insect decline, but pesticides (杀虫剂) are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used no matter whether pests are present or not. Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is an extremely misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern pesticides are so much more poisonous, the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. To the public, one broadly-publicized approach is to use pesticide-free pest (害虫) control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation (轮换) and the use of natural predators (掠食者). But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today. Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a small, subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal amount we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of pesticide to a tiny percentage of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing pesticide won’t solve the insect decline problem immediately, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover. 8. What about today’s pesticide is a problem? A. It has only short-term effect.  B. It is banned by the government. C. It is abused regardless of necessity.  D. It is less poisonous but more frequently used. 9. Why is IPM seldom used today? A. It has been around for a long time.  B. It takes advantage of other animals. C. It is still unknown to the mass public.  D. It is regarded as a complicated practice. 10. What may be the best solution according to the writer? A. Developing new pesticides.  B. Focusing on crop protection. C. Raising healthier pollinators.  D. Cultivating greener farmlands. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice. B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline. C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying. D. To warn readers of the hidden danger of modern pesticides. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述陆生昆虫数量锐减，现代杀虫剂是重要诱因，介绍害虫综合防治方案及其推广困境，并提出农业重心应转向保护作物、减量使用杀虫剂。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used no matter whether pests are present or not.(雪上加霜的是，这些杀虫剂如今被当作预防手段施加在农作物上，无论害虫是否存在都要使用)”可知，如今的杀虫剂存在不顾是否有必要就滥用的问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today.(但是它们的推广速度极其缓慢，因为喷洒杀虫剂被看作是一种更简单的选择)”可知，IPM很少被使用，是因为它被认为没有喷药简单，操作更复杂。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a small, subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops.(没有快速的解决办法，相反我们主张需要在关注点上做出微小而微妙的转变，从消灭害虫转向保护作物)”可知，作者认为最好的解决办法是把重心放在保护作物上。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a small, subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops.(没有快速的解决办法，相反我们主张需要在关注点上做出微小而微妙的转变，从消灭害虫转向保护作物)”可知，全文围绕昆虫锐减的现状展开，最终提出调整农业生产重心、减少杀虫剂用量的可行方案，文章旨在提出切实可行的农业生产方式转变的建议。 D A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it. “We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs. LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it. What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again. Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display. 12. What is special about the new LACMA? A. Displaying artworks flexibly. B. Stressing ocean movement. C. Treating artworks differently. D. Featuring Chinese designs. 13. Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA? A. To compare them with LACMA. B. To highlight an exhibition trend. C. To promote long-term displays. D. To explain economic globalization. 14. What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style? A. It limits the variety of artworks. B. It depends on QR code technology. C. It brings little profit to art galleries. D. It causes confusion for some visitors. 15. What can be inferred about the new museum from the last paragraph? A. It values architecture over artworks. B. It may raise argument over art styles. C. It can mirror environments and times. D. It guides how visitors view the art world. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍洛杉矶郡艺术博物馆新馆打破传统展览模式，采用灵活布展，列举其他博物馆同类变革，谈及新模式弊端，指出博物馆应当反映所处环境与时代。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another.(博物馆的单层展厅对所有艺术作品一视同仁：没有任何一种艺术运动被视作比另一种更重要)”可知，新LACMA展出艺术作品具有灵活性。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays.(洛杉矶郡艺术博物馆（LACMA）的组织方式突破传统，象征着在全球经济不断扩张的背景下，向全球性美术馆发展。伦敦泰特现代美术馆过去一直以西欧艺术为中心，但自2000年后，它根据主题重新编排展品，以突出文化联系。这一做法遭到媒体的批评。2019年，现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）也拒绝了长期固定展览模式)”可知，作者提到泰特现代美术馆和现代艺术博物馆是为了突出展览趋势。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder.(对一位访客而言，一个深思熟虑的对比可能难以被另一位理解。在洛杉矶县艺术博物馆（LACMA），一张巨大的咖啡桌陈列着不同时代的陶瓷作品。为什么？扫描二维码的游客会明白；其余人则只能感到纳闷)”可知，新展览风格可能存在的一个潜在问题是：它会让部分参观者感到困惑。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times.(许多策展人认为，博物馆不应是僵化的艺术宫殿，而应反映其周围环境和时代背景)”可知，新博物馆能够反映环境和时代。 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。 In the digital age, we interact with others online so much, so it’s especially important to be aware of digital etiquette (礼节).

The world of literature, with a wealth of characters, conflicts and settings, ____37____ (offer) readers a distinctive way to engage with lives beyond their own. To begin with, since literary works often employ a rich and varied vocabulary, twisted plots and layered characterization, ____38____ (deal) with these elements helps readers expand their own vocabulary and develop an appreciation for the subtleties of human expression. Besides, the open-ended nature of great fiction requires readers to weigh evidence, trace motives and tolerate ____39____ (certainty), a process that encourages them ____40____ (think) critically, challenge assumptions and draw their own conclusions. Not only does such sustained engagement ____41____ (sharp) readers’ analytical skills, but it also enhances their capacity to hold conflicting ideas in mind at once. Moreover, the narrative pull of a novel, ____42____ (combine) with its vivid settings and fully drawn characters, creates an immersive experience, ____43____ allows individuals to live unfamiliar lives and to process their own emotions at a safe distance. Empathy, insight and a sense of belonging fostered by literature can be felt whenever readers lose themselves in a story ____44____ (mirror) their own struggles. Furthermore, reading literature broadens cultural understanding, for writers draw _____45_____ their personal histories, traditions and communities to create worlds reflecting the full range of human experience. Ultimately, what readers gain from literature goes far beyond information; it is a slow and careful training of the imagination. 【答案】36. a 37. offers 38. dealing 39. uncertainty 40.  to think 41. sharpen 42. combined 43. which 44. mirroring 45.  on##upon 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了阅读文学作品带来的诸多益处，如丰富词汇、培养批判性思维、增强共情力并拓宽文化视野。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：阅读文学作品提供了一种独特且丰富的体验，带来诸多益处，能深化洞察力、拓宽视野并培养情感成熟。experience此处为可数名词，意为“经历/体验”，此处泛指一种独特的体验，且unique以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：文学世界拥有丰富的角色、冲突与背景，为读者提供了一种独特方式来接触自身之外的生活。空处为句子的谓语动词，句子陈述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态，主语The world of literature为第三人称单数形式，所以谓语用第三人称单数offers。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，由于文学作品常运用丰富多变的词汇、曲折的情节和多层次的人物塑造，处理这些元素能帮助读者拓展词汇量，培养对人类表达细微差别的感知能力。此处作主语，表泛指，需用动名词形式。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：此外，优秀小说的开放性特质要求读者权衡证据、追溯动机、包容不确定性，这个过程鼓励他们批判性思考、挑战固有假设并得出自己的结论。tolerate后接名词作宾语，结合语境可知“开放性”需要容忍“不确定性”。certain的名词形式为certainty“确定性”，其反义为uncertainty“不确定性”。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。encourage sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，此处需用不定式结构。 【41题详解】 考查动词。句意：这种持续的投入不仅使读者的分析能力变得敏锐，也增强了他们同时容纳矛盾观点的能力。根据“Not only does”可知，该句话使用部分倒装结构，助动词does后需接动词原形，将形容词sharp变为动词sharpen，意为“提升、使敏锐”。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，小说的叙事吸引力，结合其生动的场景和丰满的人物形象，创造出一种沉浸式体验，让读者能够体验陌生的人生，在安全的距离下梳理自己的情绪。空处需要非谓语动词作定语，be combined with是固定搭配，此处用过去分词作后置定语修饰the narrative pull of a novel。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词an immersive experience指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导该从句。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每当读者沉浸在一个映照自身困境的故事中时，就能感受到文学培养出的共情力、洞察力和归属感。空处需要非谓语动词作定语，story与mirror（反映）为主动关系，需用现在分词作后置定语。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：此外，阅读文学能拓宽文化认知，因为作家会从个人经历、传统和社群中汲取素材，创造出反映全人类体验的世界。draw on/upon是固定短语，意为“利用、汲取”。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 你校高三年级正在考虑取消美术课，请你写一篇短文向校英语报“Voices”栏目投稿，对此发表看法，并阐述理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Should art class be canceled? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Should art class be canceled? Recently, our school has been considering canceling art classes for Senior 3 students. As a student who values holistic development, I firmly oppose this decision. While we are under immense academic pressure, art classes serve as an effective outlet for stress relief, which is vital for mental well-being. Moreover, art education fosters creativity and aesthetic appreciation, qualities that are just as important as academic success. Canceling these classes would deprive us of a balanced education. Therefore, I sincerely hope the school will reconsider and allow us to continue enjoying the beauty of art. 【解析】 【导语】要求考生就学校拟取消高三美术课发表看法并陈述理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 考虑：consider → contemplate 反对：oppose → object to 巨大的：immense → enormous 培养：foster → cultivate 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Recently, our school has been considering canceling art classes for Senior 3 students. 拓展句：Recently, our school has been considering canceling the art classes that Senior 3 students currently attend. 【点睛】【高分句型1】While we are under immense academic pressure, art classes serve as an effective outlet for stress relief, which is vital for mental well-being.（运用了While引导让步状语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Moreover, art education fosters creativity and aesthetic appreciation, qualities that are just as important as academic success.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 第二节(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。 I am an English teacher. One cold evening on my way home from school, I noticed a small boy standing by a rubbish bin outside a noodle shop. He was thin and dirty, with a torn coat that looked two sizes too big for him, and his eyes followed every customer who walked out carrying a paper bowl. He did not beg; did not stretch out his hand; he only stood there, still and silent, as if waiting for something the world had long forgotten to give him. For a moment I hesitated. Then, instead of walking on like everyone else, I went over and asked gently whether he was hungry. He looked up at me, his face pale in the lamplight, and after a long silence he gave a small, uncertain nod. I pushed open the door and led him to a corner table. I ordered two bowls of hot beef noodles and an extra egg for him. He ate slowly at first, as if afraid the food would disappear, then faster and faster, until his cheeks were full and his spoon scraped the bottom of the bowl. When I asked his name, he whispered without looking up,“They call me Little Toby.” He would not tell me where he came from or why he was alone, and I did not push. When we finished, I paid the bill, and as I turned to go, he grabbed the corner of my coat and, without a word, pointed at the notebook sticking out of my pocket. I smiled and told him I used it to write down things worth remembering. He stared at the notebook for a long time, as if it held some secret, then let go of my coat and vanished into the dark street. I walked home slowly, but the look in his eyes stayed with me all night. I could not stop thinking about that boy who noticed a notebook, of all things, in a world that seemed to notice nothing about him. 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。 A few days later, I saw Toby again, holding a piece of paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I read his poem repeatedly, and decided to give him one more gift. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few days later, I saw Toby again, holding a piece of paper. He hid half of the crumpled paper behind his back, ears red with cold, and handed it to me shyly. It was a short, misspelled poem about warm beef noodles and a stranger’s soft smile, which he had written down after watching me talk about my notebook. He mumbled that he had always wanted to write down the nice things no one had ever noticed, just like what my notebook did. I read his poem repeatedly, and decided to give him one more gift. I took out a brand new notebook with a pen from my bag, and told him he could use it to write all the warm little moments he met. Later, I helped him find a temporary shelter, and let him sit in on my after-school free English classes. Years later, a young man knocked at my door, holding a published collection of poems — its author was Little Toby. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物情感变化为线索展开。讲述身为英语老师的作者寒夜下班途中遇到流浪男孩Toby，带他进店吃热牛肉面，分别时Toby注意到作者用来记录值得铭记之事的笔记本，他望向笔记本的眼神让作者久久难以忘怀。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者看到Toby拿的纸上的内容。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者赠送Toby纸笔、帮他找到住所并让他参加免费课程，多年后Toby出版了诗集。 2. 续写线索：Toby把纸递给作者——看到纸上的内容——送给Toby纸笔——帮Toby找到住所并让他参加免费课程——多年后出版诗集 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①写下：write down/take down ②遇到：meet/encounter 情绪类 ①害羞：shyly/timidly  ②温和的：soft/gentle 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a short, misspelled poem about warm beef noodles and a stranger’s soft smile, which he had written down after watching me talk about my notebook.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Years later, a young man knocked at my door, holding a published collection of poems — its author was Little Toby.（运用了现在分词holding作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南京市金陵中学 2026~2027学年第一学期阶段性测试(二) 高二英语试卷 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

What started with a plot of land that she purchased with her babysitting money has become a global model for poverty relief (扶贫) and development through her nonprofit organization, BlinkNow Foundation. After high school, Doyne began her work after meeting a young girl in Surkhet, Nepal (尼泊尔), whose life was ruined during the country’s decades-long civil conflict. Today, Doyne cares for 93 children, addressing their immediate needs and supporting them for long-term growth and self-sufficiency. The organization also has a separate home for at-risk girls who have been victims of harm, human trafficking (贩卖) and violence, a food and farming program that trains women and farmers, and a full-service medical clinic. Doyne and a team of 175 caregivers, teachers, and professionals work together to offer comprehensive services that address the roots of poverty. Her Kopila Valley School, once a small “bamboo shack (棚屋)”, has now served 1,000 students with state-of-the-art facilities, modern technology, and diverse course offerings. Students participate in gardening, farming, and conservation classes and are provided healthy meals to cope with poor nutrition. There is a daycare, as well as a readiness program called “Futures” to launch students toward college and job training programs. At a speaking engagement in Los Angeles, Doyne connected with a filmmaker who shared a passion for humanitarian causes and storytelling. He started documenting Doyne’s work and life story. And the two began a journey together, professionally and personally. Now married, they raise their children in Nepal among their 93 siblings (兄弟姐妹). Hope and action are ideas that Doyne made a reality two decades ago. And today, her message remains: “Keep doing what you can, no matter where you are. Keep showing up, keep loving, and keep going with your acts of kindness. It all matters.” 4. What inspired Doyne to start charity work in Nepal? A. The money she earned in her first job.  B. An encounter with a girl in Surkhet. C. The model she learned from a school.  D. A speech about global poverty relief. 5. Why does the writer mention the different branches of BlinkNow in paragraph 3? A. To display diverse BlinkNow programs.  B. To show serious problems children face. C. To suggest Doyne’s thoughtful planning.  D. To promote public support for the poor. 6. What is the “Futures” program intended for? A. Training local women in farming skills.  B. Offering medical treatment for poor girls. C. Building modern classrooms for rural children.        D. Preparing teenagers for further study and career. 7. Which can best describe Doyne’s approach to poverty relief? A. Systematic and sustainable.  B. Continuous and imaginary. C. Personalized and traditional.  D. Accidental and essential. C Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial (陆生的) insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate (授粉) our crops. If we don’t solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear. There are many causes for the insect decline, but pesticides (杀虫剂) are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more poisonous than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used no matter whether pests are present or not. Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is an extremely misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern pesticides are so much more poisonous, the global toxicity (毒性) of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. To the public, one broadly-publicized approach is to use pesticide-free pest (害虫) control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation (轮换) and the use of natural predators (掠食者). But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today. Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a small, subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal amount we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of pesticide to a tiny percentage of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing pesticide won’t solve the insect decline problem immediately, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover. 8. What about today’s pesticide is a problem? A. It has only short-term effect.  B. It is banned by the government. C. It is abused regardless of necessity.  D. It is less poisonous but more frequently used. 9. Why is IPM seldom used today? A. It has been around for a long time.  B. It takes advantage of other animals. C. It is still unknown to the mass public.  D. It is regarded as a complicated practice. 10. What may be the best solution according to the writer? A. Developing new pesticides.  B. Focusing on crop protection. C. Raising healthier pollinators.  D. Cultivating greener farmlands. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice. B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline. C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying. D. To warn readers of the hidden danger of modern pesticides. D A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it. “We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs. LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it. What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again. Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display. 12. What is special about the new LACMA? A. Displaying artworks flexibly. B. Stressing ocean movement. C. Treating artworks differently. D. Featuring Chinese designs. 13. Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA? A. To compare them with LACMA. B. To highlight an exhibition trend. C. To promote long-term displays. D. To explain economic globalization. 14. What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style?

Here is something about digital etiquette you need to know. Keep things respectful, truthful, and kind in your online interactions. When you’re commenting, posting, or sending a message on the Internet, remember that you’re interacting with actual people who have feelings and deserve respect. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. ____16____ Review messages, comments, and posts before sending. ____17____ Unfortunately, this often leads to hurt feelings, and you’ll often end up regretting it later — especially because what you say online is memorialized forever. To avoid this regret, it helps to pause and reflect before posting or sending something. As part of that reflection, reread what you’ve written, and make sure it’s truthful, respectful, and fair. ____18____ If you see a negative comment, you may be tempted to fight back with some heated words of your own. Though this may feel good in the moment, it only escalates things and makes them worse. Plus, unlike verbal arguments, online conversations can be preserved forever, so your words can come back to bite you in the future. ____19____ Be mindful of your audience. ____20____ The key is to adjust your behavior appropriately based on the relationship you have with the receiver and the purpose of your message. It’s appropriate to use informal language when you are sending a message in a group chat with your friends. If you’re posting a message in your online classroom for school, nevertheless, use proper spelling and punctuation, as well as more formal language. A. Stay on topic in group chats. B. Digital etiquette will vary from setting to setting. C. Don’t engage in digital drama in the comment section. D. In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to react too quickly. E.

What seems harmless to you may be embarrassing or unsafe for them. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In high school, I used to wonder what college was like.

One cold evening on my way home from school, I noticed a small boy standing by a rubbish bin outside a noodle shop. He was thin and dirty, with a torn coat that looked two sizes too big for him, and his eyes followed every customer who walked out carrying a paper bowl. He did not beg; did not stretch out his hand; he only stood there, still and silent, as if waiting for something the world had long forgotten to give him. For a moment I hesitated. Then, instead of walking on like everyone else, I went over and asked gently whether he was hungry. He looked up at me, his face pale in the lamplight, and after a long silence he gave a small, uncertain nod. I pushed open the door and led him to a corner table. I ordered two bowls of hot beef noodles and an extra egg for him. He ate slowly at first, as if afraid the food would disappear, then faster and faster, until his cheeks were full and his spoon scraped the bottom of the bowl. When I asked his name, he whispered without looking up,“They call me Little Toby.” He would not tell me where he came from or why he was alone, and I did not push. When we finished, I paid the bill, and as I turned to go, he grabbed the corner of my coat and, without a word, pointed at the notebook sticking out of my pocket. I smiled and told him I used it to write down things worth remembering. He stared at the notebook for a long time, as if it held some secret, then let go of my coat and vanished into the dark street. I walked home slowly, but the look in his eyes stayed with me all night. I could not stop thinking about that boy who noticed a notebook, of all things, in a world that seemed to notice nothing about him. 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。 A few days later, I saw Toby again, holding a piece of paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I read his poem repeatedly, and decided to give him one more gift. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
