第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Christmas is coming, and it is time to warm yourself and head out to see some festive lights. There are plenty of choices when it comes to following a light path as part of your Christmas celebrations.
Oxford Street
Oxford Street’s festive lights are a treat for the eyes this year. However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights— which we returned on at the start of November— are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3-11 p.m. , in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. It is expected this will reduce energy usage by up to two thirds compared to previous years, when the lights have been on for 24 hours through November and December.
Kew Garden
One of the most famous light paths of the season, Christmas at Kew offers a full-on festive experience with over 2 km of lights to walk through. Along the way you’ll have the chance to sample festive food and drink, and possibly even say hello to Santa himself.
Regent Street
Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. The lights, which cover Regent Street and the St James neighbourhoods, were turned on on November 9, and like the Oxford St lights are turned on between 3 and 11 p.m.
Covent Garden
A visit to Covent Garden will certainly get you in the festive spirit this year, with the central London destination offering a whole lot of lights— from 11 a. m. until midnight every day until January 3. Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine— with over 40 different varieties there.
21. Why are Oxford Street’s festive lights just on for 8 hours a day this year
A. The quality of these lights is not good.
B. The public don’t like these lights.
C. The country expects to differ from previous years.
D. The government wants to save energy.
22. In which place do the lights mainly focus on The Spirit Of Christmas
A. Kew Gardens. B. Oxford Street. C. Covent Garden. D. Regent Street.
23. What can visitors do when visiting Covent Garden
A. See snow day and night. B. Take a shower.
C. Enjoy many different kinds of wines. D. Pick out the favourite lights.
B
SAREK NATIONAL PARK—
EUROPE’S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE
A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a. m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valleybelow. I’m in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
A Land of Mountain and Ice
Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territorytheir home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.
Man at Peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
A Land of Adventure
After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However, I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better
24. Why is it hard for the author to tell whether it is morning or night
A. The author is in the remote far north of Sweden.
B. The author doesn’t have a chance to check his watch.
C. The sun never sets in summer above the Arctic Circle.
D. It is the first time for the author to come to the Arctic Circle.
25. How are the Sarek’s mountains at present
A. The mountains are covered by thick ice.
B. The mountains exist together with glaciers.
C. The Sami are growing crops on the mountains.
D. The mountains have turned into a few parks.
26. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3
A. Reindeer have become part of the Sami’s life.
B. The Sami should stop killing reindeer at once.
C. The Sami can live at peace with their neighbours.
D. It is a good idea to use the reindeer’s meat for food.
27. What could have happened to the author yesterday
A. He prepared enough food and supplies.
B. He walked along a rough and difficult path.
C. He was lucky to be alive in the mountains.
D. He made a detailed plan for the adventure.
C
A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws.
“We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research. “We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears— specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads— to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area.
To do this, the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab.
They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears.
The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala.
28. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab.
30. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph
A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough.
B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres.
C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration.
D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow
C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws
D
San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies— from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970sTV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
32. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges.
33. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support.
C. The competition from other cities. D. The influence of tourist activities.
34. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
B. To give an example of existing threats.
C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
D. To compare different types of natural disasters.
35. What can be known from the text
A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins.
C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded.

Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens. Many teens in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them popular. 36 Here are some of them.
With electronic products becoming more popular, it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves. Kids used to hang out around the town; now they just sit at home. 37 In this case, they’ll learn how to interact and work as a team— something they’ll find useful later in life.
38 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape. What’s more, these days, it is becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games. You can also help them practise, and help with the team fund-raising. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may think your teens aren’t good enough to make their school team. 39 There are plenty of other places besides the school to play team sports. You can also check other “for-fun clubs”. You could look into sports that you may not have thought of. If you do a little research, you are sure to find something your teens will enjoy.
Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. 40
A. Take it easy.
B. Sports help address teens’ overweight.
C. In my view, it is a waste of time and energy.
D. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today
E. However, there are other benefits your teens don’t realize.
F. How can we develop a hobby of doing sports from now on
G. Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize.

I believe in you and I will always be here for you. Now, go and 50 the life you dream of.

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。
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can, so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she said, “We forgot something, Brad.” She ran to the fence and started sprinkling (洒) water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil.”
She stopped sprinkling. “My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it, the way you said.”
“But, Laynie—”
“How long does it take to grow a new pencil ”
I should have explained things right then, but I just said quietly, “Uh...I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted. She drew pictures with it all afternoon.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt, so I knew she’d just planted something. “What is it this time ” I asked.
“It’s Molly.” I gasped (倒吸气). Molly was Laynie’s goldfish! “She jumped out of her bowl again,” Laynie said. “Grandma said we didn’t find her in time.” Then Laynie picked up her little watering can and started sprinkling that spot. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” She knelt down to whisper, “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house. I sat down with my back to the fence and wondered what I should do then.
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。
Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave (坟墓).
2023级高二第一学期期中考试检测卷●英语
参考答案、提示及评分细则
1~5 BCCCA 6~10 CBACA 11~15 ABBBA 16~20 AACBB
【文章大意】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个可以观看圣诞节节日彩灯的地方。
21. D细节理解题。根据“Oxford Street”部分关键句“However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights— which we returned on at the start of November— are only on for eight hours a day this year, from3—11 p. m. , in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. (然而，你必须仔细选择你的欣赏时间，由于国家面临能源成本不断上涨，我们在11月初重新开启的灯，今年每天只开8小时，从下午3点到11点。)”可知，今年牛津大街的节日灯每天只亮8小时，因为政府想要节约能源。
22. D细节理解题。根据“Regent Street”部分关键句“Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. (摄政街的灯光以今年的圣诞精神为主题，为购物街带来金色天使。)”可知，在摄政街，灯光主要集中在圣诞精神上。
23. C细节理解题。根据“Covent Garden”部分关键句“Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine— with over 40 different varieties there. (游客还可以在那里享受每天的阵雪，以及节日食品和40多种不同品种的热葡萄酒。)”可知，游客参观科文特花园时可以享受多种不同种类的葡萄酒。
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的沙瑞克国家公园之旅。
24. C细节理解题。根据第一段中“I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets.” (我在风吹动帐篷布的声音中醒来。即使阳光灿烂，也无法分辨现在是早晨还是夜晚。我在北极圈之上，那里夏天太阳永不落。) 可知，作者很难分辨是早晨还是晚上是因为北极圈上空的夏天太阳从不落下。
25. B推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers.” (沙瑞克的山脉曾经被巨大的冰层覆盖。大约9000年前，这些冰融化了，留下了大约100个冰川。) 可推知，沙瑞克的山脉和冰川共存。
26. A主旨大意题。根据第三段“For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.” (几百年来，照顾驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。他们用驯鹿的肉做食物，用它们的骨头做工具，用它们的皮做衣服和帐篷。因为驯鹿总是在移动，萨米人会收拾他们的帐篷，陪伴他们。今天，大多数萨米人在萨雷克附近的村庄有房子，和他们的邻居一样过着现代生活。但每年春天，仍有一小部分萨米人跟随他们的驯鹿进入萨雷克的山谷，住在帐篷或古老的小屋里，享受着他们的传统。我不是萨米人，但在沙瑞克，我吸收了他们的一些习惯。例如，今天早上我的早餐是在火上烤热的扁平面包，驯鹿肉干，还有一些我在帐篷附近发现的酸甜浆果。) 可知，作者在第三段表明了驯鹿已经成为萨米人生活的一部分。
27. B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.” (如果今天像昨天一样，当我徒步穿过这片艰难的土地到达山谷另一边的目的地时，它将充满汗水和艰苦的工作。) 可推知，昨天作者可能走过一条崎岖难行的路。
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家基于北极熊熊爪的构造设计新型雪地轮胎。
28. A代词指代题。根据第二段“The obvious place to look was polar bears— specifically the tiny bumps on the surface of their paw pads— to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. (最明显研究对象是北极熊——特别是它们脚掌表面的小凸起——来发现它们对动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力有什么影响。)”可知，它们指的是北极熊脚掌表面的小凸起对于动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力的影响，推断处they指代的是选项“小凸起”。
29. A段落大意题。根据第四段“They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. (他们发现北极熊脚垫上的微小结构更高，这使得它们在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，尽管北极熊的脚垫比其他熊小。)”可知，第四段主要谈到的是研究的发现。
30. B推理判断题。根据最后一段“’If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads, but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,’said Dhinojwala. (如果你看看雪地轮胎，你会发现它们确实有一些更深的胎面，但这项研究也可以展示各种设计方法，这些方法可以产生更大的影响。)”可知，我们可以从最后一段Dhinojwala的话中推断出雪地轮胎可能会设计不同的胎面。
31. D标题归纳题。根据第一段“A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres based on polar bear paws. (一组研究人员提出了一种使在雪地里开车更容易的方法：用北极熊的爪子设计轮胎。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是科学家基于北极熊爪设计雪地轮胎，选项“基于北极熊爪的雪地轮胎”符合题意。

34. A推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. (近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺。)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
Sorry to hear that you are puzzled about some Chinese gestures, which is common for the foreigners.
In China, some body language is identical to yours, while some differs from yours. For example, we usually greet our guests by shaking hands. Some may favour a nod or smile, but try to avoid hugging, especially kissing on the cheek. In addition, we nod our heads to approve and shake our heads to say “no”. Of course, it is to show great respect for others that we bow.
I hope the information above will help you adjust yourself to your life in China and enjoy yourself forever.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. Or I could sneak a new fish into Molly’s bowl and just say that it grew. I sighed. I knew there was only one right thing to do. When I laid the short pencil, and crayons on the table, Laynie looked confused. Then I explained the whole story to her. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. But the worst part hadn’t come yet. “Laynie,” I said softly. “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” All of a sudden, she burst into tears. I hugged her tightly and suggested, “How about a funeral for Molly ”
Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave. She watered them every morning. One day I saw Laynie carrying her watering can to the corner of the yard. “I’m growing ‘basketballs’ for you,” she announced, sprinkling a new patch of dirt. When she was gone, I dug up the spot with my bare hands. The “basketball seeds” were small and light, and they smelled like oranges! When I finally stopped laughing, I replanted them. Then I headed for the house to explain gardening to Laynie one more time.

M: I’d like to, but Mike will come to my home. We plan to practise for our performance.
(Text 2)
W: Hello, I didn’t expect to see you at the theatre. You look different in a suit.
M: Well, I couldn’t really wear my work uniform for the Kunqu Opera, could I
W: Not really. Anyway, I must go. I have to catch the last subway home.
(Text 3)
M: I heard there would be a power cut tonight.
W: Don’t worry. I’ve already bought some candles.
M: So when will it begin
W: It’ll begin at 6:00 p. m. and will last for three hours.
(Text 4)
M: Hi, Rose. How is everything
W: Well, I’ve lost my job and I’m looking for another one.
M: Well, that’s annoying.
W: Actually, I’m not worried. You see, I have proper skills and can get one pretty soon.
(Text 5)
W: If I were you, I’d just walk to work. It will take you about 15 minutes.
M: I agree. But this month my wife is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work, and I’m pressed for time, you know.
(Text 6)
W: I wonder why The Sunflower went out of business. It got a great review in Dining Magazine and every timeI ate there, there was a big crowd.
M: It’s not closed forever. There was a fire in the kitchen last month, but they plan to reopen as soon as the damage is repaired.
W: I’m glad to hear that. It was one of the best spots in town. It was so clean; the workers were so friendly, and the food was great!

M: Yes. I’d like to book some tickets for the play for children, Cinderella.

M: All right. I’d like tickets for two adults and three children please. And the show starts at 3:15, doesn’t it
W: That’s right, but you need to arrive at 2:30 to get your tickets.

M: Hello, Lily. Is it true you are going to leave us for Boswell
W: Yes, you know, Tom has got a new job there.
M: You’re going to miss Highland Park, aren’t you
W: Oh, definitely. But it’s a much greater opportunity for Tom. His salary will be higher and he’ll have a much better position. He’ll manage the whole sales department. Also, there are better schools for the children. The town itself isn’t half as nice as Highland Park, of course.
M: Yes, there are so many factories. There’s probably a lot of air pollution, isn’t there
W: Yeah, and not much green area. But that’s life, I guess.
M: Are you going to stop working
W: I believe I’ll have to at first, but I intend to go back as soon as we settle down. I may get a teaching job.
There’s a new high school there and they’re looking for teachers.
(Text 10)
It’s good to see people live longer lives. But how we can help people who live longer live better has been a big challenge. Now, a number of businesses are offering services specifically designed for the elderly. One of them is True Call. True Call is a UK telephone communication service that can block unwanted telephone calls. Businessman Robert Smith has set the system in his mother’s home, since a group of people had stolen her life savings through phone calls a few months earlier.
Another one called Red & Yellow Care is a health care service. According to the director Mike Hart, their staff is trained to be able to explain their service in a simple and clear way, and unafraid of repeating the information. All the training is to provide safer and friendlier service for the elderly.
Then there is Safeway, a supermarket chain. One of the staff, Martin Bateman says that he and his co-workers now ask older customers more frequently if they need help at the checkouts. These customers may not know what to do with the self-checkout machines. All in all, the elderly are gaining increasing attention from the society. They’ll be living longer and better.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Christmas is coming, and it is time to warm yourself and head out to see some festive lights. There are plenty of choices when it comes to following a light path as part of your Christmas celebrations.
Oxford Street
Oxford Street’s festive lights are a treat for the eyes this year. However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights— which we returned on at the start of November— are only on for eight hours a day this year, from 3-11 p.m. , in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. It is expected this will reduce energy usage by up to two thirds compared to previous years, when the lights have been on for 24 hours through November and December.
Kew Garden
One of the most famous light paths of the season, Christmas at Kew offers a full-on festive experience with over 2 km of lights to walk through. Along the way you’ll have the chance to sample festive food and drink, and possibly even say hello to Santa himself.
Regent Street
Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. The lights, which cover Regent Street and the St James neighbourhoods, were turned on on November 9, and like the Oxford St lights are turned on between 3 and 11 p.m.
Covent Garden
A visit to Covent Garden will certainly get you in the festive spirit this year, with the central London destination offering a whole lot of lights— from 11 a. m. until midnight every day until January 3. Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine— with over 40 different varieties there.
21. Why are Oxford Street’s festive lights just on for 8 hours a day this year
A. The quality of these lights is not good.
B. The public don’t like these lights.
C. The country expects to differ from previous years.
D. The government wants to save energy.
22. In which place do the lights mainly focus on The Spirit Of Christmas
A. Kew Gardens. B. Oxford Street. C. Covent Garden. D. Regent Street.
23. What can visitors do when visiting Covent Garden
A. See snow day and night. B. Take a shower.
C. Enjoy many different kinds of wines. D. Pick out the favourite lights.
B
SAREK NATIONAL PARK—
EUROPE’S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE
A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a. m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valleybelow. I’m in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
A Land of Mountain and Ice
Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers. Soon after, reindeer began to arrive. Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territorytheir home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state. Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned within park boundaries. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.
Man at Peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
A Land of Adventure
After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again. Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. However, I cannot complain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better
24. Why is it hard for the author to tell whether it is morning or night
A. The author is in the remote far north of Sweden.
B. The author doesn’t have a chance to check his watch.
C. The sun never sets in summer above the Arctic Circle.
D. It is the first time for the author to come to the Arctic Circle.
25. How are the Sarek’s mountains at present
A. The mountains are covered by thick ice.
B. The mountains exist together with glaciers.
C. The Sami are growing crops on the mountains.
D. The mountains have turned into a few parks.
26. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3
A. Reindeer have become part of the Sami’s life.
B. The Sami should stop killing reindeer at once.
C. The Sami can live at peace with their neighbours.
D. It is a good idea to use the reindeer’s meat for food.
27. What could have happened to the author yesterday
A. He prepared enough food and supplies.
B. He walked along a rough and difficult path.
C. He was lucky to be alive in the mountains.
D. He made a detailed plan for the adventure.
C
A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres (轮胎) based on polar bear paws.
“We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,” said Ali Dhinojwala, who took part in the research. “We were looking at the friction (摩擦力) of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions.” The team turned to nature for inspiration, thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology. The obvious place to look was polar bears— specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) on the surface of their paw pads— to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area.
To do this, the team gathered samples (样本) of polar bear paw pads, as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically found in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electron microscope, produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab.
They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears.
The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures. “If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,” said Dhinojwala.
28. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Tiny bumps. B. Polar bears. C. Snowy roads. D. Paw pads.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The finding of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The comparison of different bear pads. D. The differences of samples in the lab.
30. What can we infer from Dhinojwala’s words in the last paragraph
A. Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough.
B. Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres.
C. The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration.
D. The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B. An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow
C. A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D. Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws
D
San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies— from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970sTV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude (震级) and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
32. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A. Crowded beaches. B. Old landmarks. C. Comfortable climate. D. Beautiful bridges.
33. What challenge is the waterfront facing
A. The threat from rising sea levels. B. The loss of public support.
C. The competition from other cities. D. The influence of tourist activities.
34. Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
B. To give an example of existing threats.
C. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
D. To compare different types of natural disasters.
35. What can be known from the text
A. Threats have been removed. B. Heritage sites are in ruins.
C. Solutions are under consideration. D. The shoreline has been flooded.

Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens. Many teens in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them popular. 36 Here are some of them.
With electronic products becoming more popular, it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves. Kids used to hang out around the town; now they just sit at home. 37 In this case, they’ll learn how to interact and work as a team— something they’ll find useful later in life.
38 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape. What’s more, these days, it is becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games. You can also help them practise, and help with the team fund-raising. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may think your teens aren’t good enough to make their school team. 39 There are plenty of other places besides the school to play team sports. You can also check other “for-fun clubs”. You could look into sports that you may not have thought of. If you do a little research, you are sure to find something your teens will enjoy.
Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. 40
A. Take it easy.
B. Sports help address teens’ overweight.
C. In my view, it is a waste of time and energy.
D. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today
E. However, there are other benefits your teens don’t realize.
F. How can we develop a hobby of doing sports from now on
G. Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize.

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。
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can, so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she said, “We forgot something, Brad.” She ran to the fence and started sprinkling (洒) water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil.”
She stopped sprinkling. “My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it, the way you said.”
“But, Laynie—”
“How long does it take to grow a new pencil ”
I should have explained things right then, but I just said quietly, “Uh...I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted. She drew pictures with it all afternoon.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt, so I knew she’d just planted something. “What is it this time ” I asked.
“It’s Molly.” I gasped (倒吸气). Molly was Laynie’s goldfish! “She jumped out of her bowl again,” Laynie said. “Grandma said we didn’t find her in time.” Then Laynie picked up her little watering can and started sprinkling that spot. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” She knelt down to whisper, “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house. I sat down with my back to the fence and wondered what I should do then.
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。
Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave (坟墓).

参考答案、提示及评分细则
1~5 BCCCA 6~10 CBACA 11~15 ABBBA 16~20 AACBB
【文章大意】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个可以观看圣诞节节日彩灯的地方。
21. D细节理解题。根据“Oxford Street”部分关键句“However you’ll have to pick your hours carefully as the lights— which we returned on at the start of November— are only on for eight hours a day this year, from3—11 p. m. , in the wake of the rising energy costs the country is facing. (然而，你必须仔细选择你的欣赏时间，由于国家面临能源成本不断上涨，我们在11月初重新开启的灯，今年每天只开8小时，从下午3点到11点。)”可知，今年牛津大街的节日灯每天只亮8小时，因为政府想要节约能源。
22. D细节理解题。根据“Regent Street”部分关键句“Regent Street’s lights are on the theme of The Spirit Of Christmas this year, bringing golden angels to the shopping street. (摄政街的灯光以今年的圣诞精神为主题，为购物街带来金色天使。)”可知，在摄政街，灯光主要集中在圣诞精神上。
23. C细节理解题。根据“Covent Garden”部分关键句“Visitors can also enjoy daily snow showers as well as festive food treats and heated wine— with over 40 different varieties there. (游客还可以在那里享受每天的阵雪，以及节日食品和40多种不同品种的热葡萄酒。)”可知，游客参观科文特花园时可以享受多种不同种类的葡萄酒。
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的沙瑞克国家公园之旅。
24. C细节理解题。根据第一段中“I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets.” (我在风吹动帐篷布的声音中醒来。即使阳光灿烂，也无法分辨现在是早晨还是夜晚。我在北极圈之上，那里夏天太阳永不落。) 可知，作者很难分辨是早晨还是晚上是因为北极圈上空的夏天太阳从不落下。
25. B推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sarek’s mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice. Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers.” (沙瑞克的山脉曾经被巨大的冰层覆盖。大约9000年前，这些冰融化了，留下了大约100个冰川。) 可推知，沙瑞克的山脉和冰川共存。
26. A主旨大意题。根据第三段“For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours. But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.” (几百年来，照顾驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。他们用驯鹿的肉做食物，用它们的骨头做工具，用它们的皮做衣服和帐篷。因为驯鹿总是在移动，萨米人会收拾他们的帐篷，陪伴他们。今天，大多数萨米人在萨雷克附近的村庄有房子，和他们的邻居一样过着现代生活。但每年春天，仍有一小部分萨米人跟随他们的驯鹿进入萨雷克的山谷，住在帐篷或古老的小屋里，享受着他们的传统。我不是萨米人，但在沙瑞克，我吸收了他们的一些习惯。例如，今天早上我的早餐是在火上烤热的扁平面包，驯鹿肉干，还有一些我在帐篷附近发现的酸甜浆果。) 可知，作者在第三段表明了驯鹿已经成为萨米人生活的一部分。
27. B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.” (如果今天像昨天一样，当我徒步穿过这片艰难的土地到达山谷另一边的目的地时，它将充满汗水和艰苦的工作。) 可推知，昨天作者可能走过一条崎岖难行的路。
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家基于北极熊熊爪的构造设计新型雪地轮胎。
28. A代词指代题。根据第二段“The obvious place to look was polar bears— specifically the tiny bumps on the surface of their paw pads— to find out what effect they have on the animals’ ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. (最明显研究对象是北极熊——特别是它们脚掌表面的小凸起——来发现它们对动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力有什么影响。)”可知，它们指的是北极熊脚掌表面的小凸起对于动物在冰雪地区快速移动的能力的影响，推断处they指代的是选项“小凸起”。
29. A段落大意题。根据第四段“They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better friction on the snow, even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. (他们发现北极熊脚垫上的微小结构更高，这使得它们在雪地上有更好的摩擦力，尽管北极熊的脚垫比其他熊小。)”可知，第四段主要谈到的是研究的发现。
30. B推理判断题。根据最后一段“’If you look at snow tyres, you’ll see that they do have some deeper treads, but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,’said Dhinojwala. (如果你看看雪地轮胎，你会发现它们确实有一些更深的胎面，但这项研究也可以展示各种设计方法，这些方法可以产生更大的影响。)”可知，我们可以从最后一段Dhinojwala的话中推断出雪地轮胎可能会设计不同的胎面。
31. D标题归纳题。根据第一段“A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow: by designing tyres based on polar bear paws. (一组研究人员提出了一种使在雪地里开车更容易的方法：用北极熊的爪子设计轮胎。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是科学家基于北极熊爪设计雪地轮胎，选项“基于北极熊爪的雪地轮胎”符合题意。
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。
32. B细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies— from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970sTV series The Streets of San Francisco. (它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克●伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》。)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。
33. A细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. (2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市的部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁。)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。
34. A推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. (近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺。)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。
35. C细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. (现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线。)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。

64. surrounding考查形容词。句意：自2023年12月该剧开播以来，南京路及其周边地区的酒店搜索量迎来了720万游客。空后为名词areas，因此空处应填形容词surrounding，意为“周围的，周边的”，作定语。故填surrounding。
65. an考查冠词。句意：游客数量的迅速增加促成了假期期间旅游消费的一个明显的增长。此处泛指“一个明显的增长”，且obvious以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
Sorry to hear that you are puzzled about some Chinese gestures, which is common for the foreigners.
In China, some body language is identical to yours, while some differs from yours. For example, we usually greet our guests by shaking hands. Some may favour a nod or smile, but try to avoid hugging, especially kissing on the cheek. In addition, we nod our heads to approve and shake our heads to say “no”. Of course, it is to show great respect for others that we bow.
I hope the information above will help you adjust yourself to your life in China and enjoy yourself forever.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Maybe, I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along. Or I could sneak a new fish into Molly’s bowl and just say that it grew. I sighed. I knew there was only one right thing to do. When I laid the short pencil, and crayons on the table, Laynie looked confused. Then I explained the whole story to her. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. But the worst part hadn’t come yet. “Laynie,” I said softly. “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” All of a sudden, she burst into tears. I hugged her tightly and suggested, “How about a funeral for Molly ”
Laynie buried Molly and planted some “forget-me-not” seeds on the grave. She watered them every morning. One day I saw Laynie carrying her watering can to the corner of the yard. “I’m growing ‘basketballs’ for you,” she announced, sprinkling a new patch of dirt. When she was gone, I dug up the spot with my bare hands. The “basketball seeds” were small and light, and they smelled like oranges! When I finally stopped laughing, I replanted them. Then I headed for the house to explain gardening to Laynie one more time.

W: John, I’m going swimming in the gym tonight. Would you like to join me
M: I’d like to, but Mike will come to my home. We plan to practise for our performance.
(Text 2)
W: Hello, I didn’t expect to see you at the theatre. You look different in a suit.
M: Well, I couldn’t really wear my work uniform for the Kunqu Opera, could I
W: Not really. Anyway, I must go. I have to catch the last subway home.
(Text 3)
M: I heard there would be a power cut tonight.
W: Don’t worry. I’ve already bought some candles.
M: So when will it begin
W: It’ll begin at 6:00 p. m. and will last for three hours.
(Text 4)
M: Hi, Rose. How is everything
W: Well, I’ve lost my job and I’m looking for another one.
M: Well, that’s annoying.
W: Actually, I’m not worried. You see, I have proper skills and can get one pretty soon.
(Text 5)
W: If I were you, I’d just walk to work. It will take you about 15 minutes.
M: I agree. But this month my wife is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work, and I’m pressed for time, you know.
(Text 6)
W: I wonder why The Sunflower went out of business. It got a great review in Dining Magazine and every timeI ate there, there was a big crowd.
M: It’s not closed forever. There was a fire in the kitchen last month, but they plan to reopen as soon as the damage is repaired.
W: I’m glad to hear that. It was one of the best spots in town. It was so clean; the workers were so friendly, and the food was great!
(Text 7)

W: Ah, you two are in the same class at school, aren’t you
M: Yes, we’re going to work on an art project together.
W: Oh, art was my favourite subject at school.
M: It’s mine too.
W: I know that since you were little. You really get the talent.
M: How I want maths and physics talent! Then I will get them passed. Anyway, we’ll work in the dining room, so we won’t disturb you.
W: Why don’t you work in the living room
M: The light in the dining room will be better for art. And Mum, would you mind turning off the TV
W: Of course not. No problem.

W: Westbury Theatre. Can I help you
M: Yes. I’d like to book some tickets for the play for children, Cinderella.
W: When would you like to go
M: The afternoon of the seventh of May. How much are they
W: $12 each. Children under sixteen pay only $8 if they’re with an adult.
M: All right. I’d like tickets for two adults and three children please. And the show starts at 3:15, doesn’t it
W: That’s right, but you need to arrive at 2:30 to get your tickets.
M: OK, thanks. Can you tell me about your Children’s Club on Saturday mornings

M: Hello, Lily. Is it true you are going to leave us for Boswell
W: Yes, you know, Tom has got a new job there.
M: You’re going to miss Highland Park, aren’t you
W: Oh, definitely. But it’s a much greater opportunity for Tom. His salary will be higher and he’ll have a much better position. He’ll manage the whole sales department. Also, there are better schools for the children. The town itself isn’t half as nice as Highland Park, of course.
M: Yes, there are so many factories. There’s probably a lot of air pollution, isn’t there
W: Yeah, and not much green area. But that’s life, I guess.
M: Are you going to stop working
W: I believe I’ll have to at first, but I intend to go back as soon as we settle down. I may get a teaching job.
There’s a new high school there and they’re looking for teachers.

It’s good to see people live longer lives. But how we can help people who live longer live better has been a big challenge. Now, a number of businesses are offering services specifically designed for the elderly. One of them is True Call. True Call is a UK telephone communication service that can block unwanted telephone calls. Businessman Robert Smith has set the system in his mother’s home, since a group of people had stolen her life savings through phone calls a few months earlier.
Another one called Red & Yellow Care is a health care service. According to the director Mike Hart, their staff is trained to be able to explain their service in a simple and clear way, and unafraid of repeating the information. All the training is to provide safer and friendlier service for the elderly.
Then there is Safeway, a supermarket chain. One of the staff, Martin Bateman says that he and his co-workers now ask older customers more frequently if they need help at the checkouts. These customers may not know what to do with the self-checkout machines. All in all, the elderly are gaining increasing attention from the society. They’ll be living longer and better.
