25. A 推理判断题。通读第二段可知,解决新冠疫情只能依靠个人的行动和人类的善意。但人类必须应对的下一个挑战——气候变化,是无法用疫苗来解决的。因此,作者想到可以通过每个人的日常活动来应对全球变暖。由此可推知,新冠疫情期间,个人在疫情预防方面做出的贡献给予了作者启发,从而开发出了EnRoute这款应用程序。故选A。
26. B 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“And the coolest thing is that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea.”和第五段第一句“Fast forward to today, through EnRoute, over 4,000 people reduced more than 150,000 kg carbon emissions.”可知,这款应用程序让很多人产生兴趣并参与进来,降低了碳排放量。由此可推知,这款应用程序的好处是让很多人做出了改变。故选B。

D篇
本文是一篇说明文。为了减少对森林的砍伐,研究人员开始在实验室内用生物材料培育家具,这样对于环保将大有裨益。
32. C 推理判断题。根据第一段内容尤其是第四句中的“but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest”可知,但是现在研究人员找出了一种更好的方法,即在实验室里培育家具而不是砍伐森林。由此可推知,作者对培育家具是赞同的,并认为它可能会有着光明的未来。故选C。
33. C 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句“ ‘The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,’ said Velásquez-García. ‘This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.’”可知,Velásquez-García表示,我们获取这些材料的方式几个世纪以来都没有改变,而且效率非常低,这是一个避免所有低效率的真正机会。由此可知,画线词所在句表示用生物材料和其他物品制造家具可以杜绝砍伐森林中的树木。由此可推知,画线词意为“清除,根除”,与C项意思相近。故选C。
34. B 目的意图题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.”可知,Beckwith说她想找到一种更有效的方式来使用土地和资源,以便人们可以让更多的耕地保持野生状态,或者保持较低的产量,但要考虑让这些耕地有更丰富的生物多样性。由此可推知,Beckwith在室内培育家具的目的是保持生物多样性。故选B。
35. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value.”可知,当新的生物材料变得容易获得时,森林将失去其经济价值,并将因其环境、健康和娱乐价值而得到保护。由此可知,保护森林的关键是使新的生物材料得到广泛使用。故选A。
【解析】本文为记叙文。主要介绍英语中许多有关狗的表达方式。
36. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据下文的“They take their dogs for walks, give them good food and medical care.”可知, 他们带着狗散步,给它们提供良好的食物和医疗保健。由此可推断出,他们喜欢狗,善待狗。分析选项可知B. People love dogs and treat them well. (人们爱狗,善待它们)符合题意,故选B。
37. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world” 及下文“A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.”可知,当我们说我们生活在一个狗咬狗的世界,可知,我们生活在一个竞争激烈的世界,如找一份好的工作也要竞争。分析选项可知G项(很多人竞争同一样东西,例如好工作。)符合题意,故选G。
38. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.” 意思是说人一生中总有出头之日。下文中的转折副词“Yet”以及“some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new skills and will not change the way they do things.”可知,但年长的人不喜欢学习新事物,不会改变他们做事的方式。从而推断出“要想成功,人们往往需要学习新的技能,而不能像老年人一样”。分析选项可知C项(想要成功,人们往往需要学习新的技能)符合题意,故选C。
39. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段大意为:有些人被以一些不好的方式来与狗比较,如对人不友好或冷漠的人们被形容为生活在垃圾场的狗。凶狠的狗通常用来看护这类场所。有人试图进入这类场所时,它们便狂吠或攻击。结合空前的“However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.”可知,虽然有些人看上去凶狠极具威胁,实际没那么严重。我们就说这种狗只会叫,即看上去凶,但却不咬人。分析选项可知F(We could say his bark is worse than his bite.)符合题意,故选F。
40. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据句首“Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.”可知,狗一类的词汇还用来形容词天气。分析选项可知E项(A rainstorm may cool the weather.)与天气有关,并有词“the weather”的复现。故选E项。

第四部分 写作
第一节 应用文
参考范文:
An excellent drama is to be held in our school’s stadium at 7 pm this Friday evening.
The drama is based on the famous folk story “The Old Fool who Moved the Mountains”. The story goes that there were two large mountains—Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, which sat in front of an old man Yu’s house. Because the mountains blocked the way, Yu attempted to move them with his family. He determinedly dug a small amount every day. Although others laughed at his behavior, he never gave up. With perseverance, he eventually managed to move these mountains.
Do come, everybody! You will have an unforgettable time with such a classic story.

参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Their sudden appearance shocked me and a cold sweat broke out all over my body. But I managed to gather myself together. I struck the shovel left beside me with a stone and screamed as loudly as I could. The two wolves were frightened at first and stepped back. But after a short time of hesitation, they continued to remove the branches. And no matter how hard I struck the shovel, they just ignored. I was in despair. But I still held the stone and shovel firmly, thinking I wouldn’t give it up without a fight.
Paragraph 2:
Strangely, I saw the two wolves turn around and run away in a flash. “Are they afraid of my shovel ” I wondered. But I realized I was wrong when I saw many flashlights approaching my tent quickly. It turned out that Roy had run away to seek help. With a dozen of villagers, Roy was coming to my rescue! They were calling my name and I responded as they removed the branches. As Roy got into the tent and hugged me, I couldn’t help crying, both in fright and relief.2022—2023 学年高二上学期开学摸底考试英语试卷 的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对
