(2024·河南省TOP二十名校高三一模)
Some readers majoring in computing discipline might ask, “What's all this got to do with me？I just want to develop a computer system, build a website or create a computer animation and write a report about it, not collect and analyse data or make arguments.”
The response is that designing and creating any kind of computer-based product is still a form of research, which requires finding or generating data, analysing it and drawing conclusions.The research question is, “Is it possible to develop a computer-based product to do X？” In order to define that question fully (for example, What is X？Why is it important to have a computer system to do X？), and then to answer it, you will have to gather data about the computer-based product required, generate your own data to document how and why you designed and implemented the product, and test the computer-based product and obtain user or viewer feedback, which will involve more data generation and analysis.
Ultimately, you will have to convince the readers of your report that you went about the design and development tasks in a systematic way, finding, generating and analysing appropriate data, so that you could draw conclusions about whether or not you could indeed develop a computer system to do X.
Of course, some systems development is fairly trivial, for example, using a PC-based software package to build a database to keep track of your music collection.To satisfy academics as a valid (有效的) piece of research, the computer-based product must contribute something new, for example, the system includes some new functions not previously automated using Information Technology (IT), or its design is based on a new theory or algorithm, or the system exhibits some new artistic ideas.Viewing the design and creation of computer systems as research is discussed more fully in Chapter 8.
As explained above, increasingly researchers who build computer-based products are also being encouraged to evaluate their products in use.Effectively, a new research question is being added to design and creation projects—What happens when the computer-based product is used in practice or viewed by an audience？To answer that question, researchers have to use one or more of the other strategies and data generation methods described in this book.
1．Why does the author begin the text with quotes from readers？
A．To provide evidence.
B．To lead in the topic.
C．To present the argument.
D．To review what is discussed.
2．Why is designing and creating a computer-based product viewed as research？
A．It has the same process as a research.
B．It serves the same purpose as a research.
C．It needs the same qualifications as a research.
D．It faces the same difficulties as a research.
3．What is the closest in meaning to “trivial” in Paragraph 4？
A．Abstract. B．Important.
C．Simple. D．Creative.
4．Where is the text most probably taken from？
A．A book review.
B．A book report.
C．The introduction to a book.
D．The main body of a book.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了计算机专业学生在开发项目时实际上是在进行研究，他们需要收集数据、分析并得出结论，以证明他们的设计与开发过程系统且有效。同时本文也出自一本书的引言，说明了书中的主要内容。
1．B 推理判断题。第一段“Some readers majoring in computing discipline might ask, ‘What's all this got to do with me？I just want to develop a computer system, build a website or create a computer animation and write a report about it, not collect and analyse data or make arguments.’(一些主修计算机学科的读者可能会问，‘这一切和我有什么关系？我只是想开发一个电脑系统，建一个网站，或者制作一个电脑动画，然后写一篇关于它的报告，而不是收集和分析数据或提出论点。’)”通过直接引语展示出计算机专业学生的困惑，第二段“The response is that designing and creating any kind of computer-based product is still a form of research, which requires finding or generating data, analysing it and drawing conclusions.(答案是：设计和创造任何一种基于计算机的产品仍然是一种研究形式，需要找到或生成数据、分析数据并得出结论。)”针对困惑给出回复，并进入本文谈论的话题。由此推知，作者在文章开头引用了读者的话是为了引入话题。故选B。
2．A 推理判断题。根据第二段“The response is that designing and creating any kind of computer-based product is still a form of research, which requires finding or generating data, analysing it and drawing conclusions.”可知，设计和创造一个基于计算机的产品也需要找到或生成数据，分析数据并得出结论，这与做研究的过程是一样的，所以它被视为一种研究。故选A。
3．C 词句猜测题。第三段“Ultimately, you will have to convince the readers of your report that you went about the design and development tasks in a systematic way, finding, generating and analysing appropriate data, so that you could draw conclusions about whether or not you could indeed develop a computer system to do X．(最后，你必须让你的报告的读者相信，你以一种系统的方式进行了设计和开发任务，找到、生成和分析了适当的数据，这样你就可以得出结论，你是否真的可以开发一个计算机系统来做什么事。)”详细描述了设计或创造一种基于计算机的产品的研究过程，过程复杂繁琐。再结合“Of course, some systems development is fairly trivial, for example, using a PC-based software package to build a database to keep track of your music collection.(当然，有些系统开发相当trivial，例如，使用基于PC的软件包构建数据库来跟踪您的音乐收藏。)”可知，系统开发任务“使用基于PC的软件包构建数据库来跟踪您的音乐收藏”与上文所述情况不一样，没有那么复杂，相对而来说比较容易。故选C。
4．C 语篇出处题。根据第四段“Viewing the design and creation of computer systems as research is discussed more fully in Chapter 8.(将计算机系统的设计和创建视为研究将在第8章中进行更全面的讨论。)”和最后一段“To answer that question, researchers have to use one or more of the other strategies and data generation methods described in this book.(为了回答这个问题，研究人员必须使用本书中描述的一种或多种其他策略和数据生成方法。)”可推知，本文选自一本书的前言，介绍了书中的内容。故选C。

When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-songy voice.This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas.Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list：bottlenose dolphins.
Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups.They communicate in a unique way：every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday.But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle？For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum.To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make.
Scientists studied 34 years' worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency.They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby.
This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves.Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate.At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies' attention.“It's important for a baby to know, ‘Oh, Mum's talking to me now，’” says marine biologist June Mann.
This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans.“It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate，” says Mann.“I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.”
5．What do the underlined words “this mystery”refer to in Paragraph 2？
A．Why dolphins live and play in groups.
B．How dolphins develop their unique sounds.
C．What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess.
D．Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans.
6．How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins？
A．By analyzing mother dolphins' sound features.
B．By recording parent-child interaction frequency.
C．By measuring the distance between parent and child.
D．By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins.
7．What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young？
A．To help them learn to talk.
B．To teach them hunting skills.
C．To express worry and care.
D．To distract their attention.
8．What is the purpose of the text？
A．To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins.
B．To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence.
C．To share new findings about dolphin communication.
D．To highlight the value of studying dolphins' language.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。
5．B 词句猜测题。根据上文“But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle？For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum.”以及“researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make”可知，海豚发出独特的声音与听到海豚妈妈的声音有关，所以为了解“海豚如何发出独特的声音”这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故选B。
6．A 推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists studied 34 years' worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.(科学家们研究了19只雌性宽吻海豚34年来的声音记录。)”可知，研究人员通过分析母海豚的声音特征对海豚进行研究。故选A。
7．A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves.(这一发现表明，利用这些变化，海豚妈妈帮助它们的孩子学习如何自己发出这些叫声。)”可知，海豚妈妈对幼崽使用父母语的原因是帮助它们学会说话。故选A。
8．C 写作意图题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-songy voice.This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas.Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list：bottlenose dolphins.(当成年人遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用一种高亢的歌声说话。这种被称为‘父母性’的转变并不是人类独有的，猴子和大猩猩等动物也有这种现象。现在，科学家们又增加了一个物种：宽吻海豚。)”结合文章主要内容可知，文章的目的是分享海豚交流的新发现。故选C。
Ⅱ.语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

The mysterious ancient roads, 8. date back over 2,200 years and predate the Roman Roads by over 200 years, are known to be 9. natural museum in the history of road construction.Historians evaluate it this way：if the Great Wall is compared to a defensive shield (盾牌), then Qin Zhidao is the weapon 10. (guard) the stability and prosperity (繁荣) of the Qin Empire.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秦朝的另一个奇迹：秦直道。
1．truth 考查名词。句意：“条条大路通咸阳”这句话可能并不广为人知，但这是历史事实。前面有定冠词the，所以用名词truth作表语，为不可数名词。故填truth。
2．as 考查介词。句意：公元前221年，中国第一位皇帝秦始皇统一中国后，他开始修建以咸阳为中心的国家级公路。此处表示“作为”，后跟名词，所以用介词as。故填as。
3．covering 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，几条长路建成，全长约750公里，穿过平原、山脉、草原、沙漠，最终通往都城咸阳。cover和它所修饰的词Several long roads之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填covering。
4．called 考查非谓语动词。句意：和长城一样，这些被称为“秦直道”的道路被认为是秦朝的另一个奇迹。call和它所修饰的词these roads之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
5．widest 考查形容词最高级。句意：一般来说，道路宽度为20～60米，最宽的路段可以同时行驶50辆汽车。此处表示“最宽的”，所以用形容词最高级作定语。故填widest。
6．was shaped 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：坚固的表面被塑造成乌龟的形状，露出地面，以避免积水。根据时间状语at that time可知，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，shape和主语之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主语为不可数名词surface。故填was shaped。
7．rarely 考查副词。句意：另一个令人惊奇的事实是，道路上很少长草，许多地方直到今天仍然状况良好。修饰动词，应用副词。故填rarely。
8．which 考查定语从句。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追溯到2,200多年前，比罗马道路早200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词为The mysterious ancient roads，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用which引导。故填which。
9．a 考查冠词。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追溯到2,200多年前，比罗马道路早200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，natural是以辅音音素开头的。故填a。
10．to guard/guarding 考查非谓语动词。句意：历史学家是这样评价它的：如果把长城比作防御的盾牌，那么秦直道就是保卫秦朝稳定繁荣的武器。guard和它所修饰的词之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，也可以用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to guard或guarding。

Insights from a UK Exchange
I'm Li Hua and have just completed my two-week academic exchange programme in the UK recently.This unique experience granted me a front-row seat to both diverse learning environments and local life.Academically, I engaged with challenging coursework and dynamic seminars, learning not just from textbooks but from lively debates with peers.Living alongside local students, I navigated the intricacies of daily life abroad, adapting to new norms and customs.
The greatest challenge？Overcoming the initial language barrier and adjusting to cultural differences! However, these obstacles became steppingstones to my growth.This adventure has taught me that embracing challenges is essential for fostering intercultural understanding and personal growth.

(2024·重庆乌江高三模拟预测)
The dog days of summer in Central Texas are hot and damp.It was a pity that our home didn't have air conditioning.Momma and I were just trying to get through this August afternoon the best we could.Reading helped take our minds off the heat.Momma was stretched across the sofa, a pillow (枕头) under her head, reading.I sat on the floor, leaning (倚靠) back against the sofa, a curious nine-year-old in shorts sharing a fan's flow.My book rested on the floor.
I looked at the thin hardcover my mom was reading, Ed Nichols Rode a Horse.There was a cowboy riding his horse on the front cover, but otherwise the book appeared plain and unimpressive.Before I settled, I asked, “Momma, what's your book about？”
“It's a story about a man, his horse and the hardships he encountered in Texas.Some of it takes place in Bosque County，” she answered.
With that, my mom returned to her story.I knew Bosque County was near where Momma had grown up.And I also knew it was best if I didn't ask any more questions.My mom took her reading seriously.
We'd been reading for the better part of an hour—the only sounds were those that came from the fan and an occasional turn of a page—when I heard something unfamiliar.The sniffling (抽鼻子) back of tears.
I turned in her direction and saw something I'd never seen before：my mom crying.Something big—really big must have happened.My mom did not cry.
“Momma, what's wrong？” I got up on my knees, staring directly into her face.“Are you all right？” “Jennifer, I'm fine.” Momma sat up and wiped (擦) her eyes.“You don't need to be concerned.”
I wasn't buying it.This was not normal behavior.“Why were you crying？” I asked in a whisper.She looked at me hard.“The book made me cry，” she replied.
I was trying to figure out how that plain-looking book could make my mostly no-nonsense momma cry when she said the most amazing thing.“The story made me sad when the horse got hurt.”
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。
That's when I learned the truth that stories affect us.
I read Ed Nichols Rode a Horse from cover to cover with a big plan forming in my mind.
【范文】
That's when I learned the truth that stories affect us.A reader can be transformed and feel strong emotion over something printed on a page.Words had just become very powerful.I looked into my mom's eyes.“Momma, could I read your book？” I held my breath, afraid she'd deny me the right to read such a sad, adult tale.But my mom was a wise woman.She studied me for what seemed a long time.Finally, she said, “I think you're old enough to handle it.” Momma handed me her book.
I read Ed Nichols Rode a Horse from cover to cover with a big plan forming in my mind.In the process of my reading I cried just like my mom.The powerful story told on those pages affected me, just like it had my mom.And, the shared reading of it united us.We were unified that hot Texas day over the power of written words.And from that moment on, I knew what I wanted to become.I wanted to be a writer of stories capable of bringing such emotions into others' mind.

When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-songy voice.This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas.Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list：bottlenose dolphins.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秦朝的另一个奇迹：秦直道。
1．truth 考查名词。句意：“条条大路通咸阳”这句话可能并不广为人知，但这是历史事实。前面有定冠词the，所以用名词truth作表语，为不可数名词。故填truth。
2．as 考查介词。句意：公元前221年，中国第一位皇帝秦始皇统一中国后，他开始修建以咸阳为中心的国家级公路。此处表示“作为”，后跟名词，所以用介词as。故填as。
3．covering 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，几条长路建成，全长约750公里，穿过平原、山脉、草原、沙漠，最终通往都城咸阳。cover和它所修饰的词Several long roads之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填covering。
4．called 考查非谓语动词。句意：和长城一样，这些被称为“秦直道”的道路被认为是秦朝的另一个奇迹。call和它所修饰的词these roads之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
5．widest 考查形容词最高级。句意：一般来说，道路宽度为20～60米，最宽的路段可以同时行驶50辆汽车。此处表示“最宽的”，所以用形容词最高级作定语。故填widest。
6．was shaped 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：坚固的表面被塑造成乌龟的形状，露出地面，以避免积水。根据时间状语at that time可知，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，shape和主语之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主语为不可数名词surface。故填was shaped。
7．rarely 考查副词。句意：另一个令人惊奇的事实是，道路上很少长草，许多地方直到今天仍然状况良好。修饰动词，应用副词。故填rarely。
8．which 考查定语从句。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追溯到2,200多年前，比罗马道路早200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词为The mysterious ancient roads，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用which引导。故填which。
9．a 考查冠词。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追溯到2,200多年前，比罗马道路早200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，natural是以辅音音素开头的。故填a。
10．to guard/guarding 考查非谓语动词。句意：历史学家是这样评价它的：如果把长城比作防御的盾牌，那么秦直道就是保卫秦朝稳定繁荣的武器。guard和它所修饰的词之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，也可以用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to guard或guarding。

Insights from a UK Exchange
I'm Li Hua and have just completed my two-week academic exchange programme in the UK recently.This unique experience granted me a front-row seat to both diverse learning environments and local life.Academically, I engaged with challenging coursework and dynamic seminars, learning not just from textbooks but from lively debates with peers.Living alongside local students, I navigated the intricacies of daily life abroad, adapting to new norms and customs.
The greatest challenge？Overcoming the initial language barrier and adjusting to cultural differences! However, these obstacles became steppingstones to my growth.This adventure has taught me that embracing challenges is essential for fostering intercultural understanding and personal growth.

(2024·重庆乌江高三模拟预测)
The dog days of summer in Central Texas are hot and damp.It was a pity that our home didn't have air conditioning.Momma and I were just trying to get through this August afternoon the best we could.Reading helped take our minds off the heat.Momma was stretched across the sofa, a pillow (枕头) under her head, reading.I sat on the floor, leaning (倚靠) back against the sofa, a curious nine-year-old in shorts sharing a fan's flow.My book rested on the floor.
I looked at the thin hardcover my mom was reading, Ed Nichols Rode a Horse.There was a cowboy riding his horse on the front cover, but otherwise the book appeared plain and unimpressive.Before I settled, I asked, “Momma, what's your book about？”
“It's a story about a man, his horse and the hardships he encountered in Texas.Some of it takes place in Bosque County，” she answered.
With that, my mom returned to her story.I knew Bosque County was near where Momma had grown up.And I also knew it was best if I didn't ask any more questions.My mom took her reading seriously.
We'd been reading for the better part of an hour—the only sounds were those that came from the fan and an occasional turn of a page—when I heard something unfamiliar.The sniffling (抽鼻子) back of tears.
I turned in her direction and saw something I'd never seen before：my mom crying.Something big—really big must have happened.My mom did not cry.
“Momma, what's wrong？” I got up on my knees, staring directly into her face.“Are you all right？” “Jennifer, I'm fine.” Momma sat up and wiped (擦) her eyes.“You don't need to be concerned.”
I wasn't buying it.This was not normal behavior.“Why were you crying？” I asked in a whisper.She looked at me hard.“The book made me cry，” she replied.
I was trying to figure out how that plain-looking book could make my mostly no-nonsense momma cry when she said the most amazing thing.“The story made me sad when the horse got hurt.”

That's when I learned the truth that stories affect us.
I read Ed Nichols Rode a Horse from cover to cover with a big plan forming in my mind.
【范文】
That's when I learned the truth that stories affect us.A reader can be transformed and feel strong emotion over something printed on a page.Words had just become very powerful.I looked into my mom's eyes.“Momma, could I read your book？” I held my breath, afraid she'd deny me the right to read such a sad, adult tale.But my mom was a wise woman.She studied me for what seemed a long time.Finally, she said, “I think you're old enough to handle it.” Momma handed me her book.
I read Ed Nichols Rode a Horse from cover to cover with a big plan forming in my mind.In the process of my reading I cried just like my mom.The powerful story told on those pages affected me, just like it had my mom.And, the shared reading of it united us.We were unified that hot Texas day over the power of written words.And from that moment on, I knew what I wanted to become.I wanted to be a writer of stories capable of bringing such emotions into others' mind.
