阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Do we think about how our shopping affects people, animals and the environment Here’s how you can love fashion and the earth.
Ethical (道德的) shopping
Many people in Britain want to know more about the products they buy. They want to know how people, animals and our planet are treated when food, drinks and clothes are produced.
Fairtrade
The Fairtrade Foundation is based in the UK and helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. The organisation asks companies that grow products such as coffee or bananas to pay fair and to provide their workers with good conditions. The companies that follow these requirements then receive the Fairtrade certificate (证书) and can sell their products with the Fairtrade mark.
Free range and organic
Free range farming means that farm animals spend time outside rather than being inside 24 hours a day. Meat, eggs or dairy products can be free range. Some experts say that this type of farming is preferable because it is less cruel and the animals are healthier. Many people also think that free range food tastes better and is more nutritious than traditionally farmed food. Organic food is produced using few or no chemical fertilisers (肥料) and pesticides (杀虫剂). Some people feel that organic food is safer or healthier than traditional food and that it tastes better.
Ethical clothing
Some clothing factories have been accused (起诉) of employing children and of allowing unsafe conditions. The British public have woken up to the question of where and how their clothes are produced. People are becoming more interested in where their clothes are made, who they are made by, and in what conditions. They want their clothes to look good AND to be ethical.
21. What should a company do to receive the Fairtrade certificate
A. Sell their products with the Fairtrade mark.
B. Earn more money to live more comfortably.
C. Provide good conditions for their employees.
D. Follow the requirements of the UK government.
22. What does organic food refer to
A. Free range products. B. Traditionally cooked dishes.
C. Farm animals living outside. D. Food that is grown naturally.
23. What does the British public care about the fashion business
A. Where the workers work. B. What the clothes are made of.
C. Who the clothes are made for. D. Whether the workers are paid fair.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A
B
When handball was introduced to Sri Lankan schools in 2019, I wanted to bring it to my school, St Anthony’s, in the remote village of Wasalakotte in central Sri Lanka. This became a challenging task as the sports coach was unwilling to play anything other than traditional sports, such as rugby and basketball.
As headmaster, however, I was determined to start this game at any cost. I foresaw it as a golden opportunity for our school as we had never got a place in traditional sports. The boys were immediately interested and 40 students aged between 13 and 19 signed up to play. Heshan Pradeep, a former student, volunteered to coach the team.
After three months of devoted training, we were able to send an under-19s boys’ team to compete with 50 other schools at the school handball tournament (联赛) held in Colombo. Our boys played remarkably well and reached the semifinals (半决赛). However, in a heartbreaking turn of events, they faced a strong opponent who managed to get a narrow victory. Defeated, the boys fell to the ground, sad and disappointed. Some students from Colombo said, “Don’t cry, brothers. You must come again next year and claim your victory.” If not for the encouraging words of these students, our team may never have returned to Colombo for another tournament.
A few weeks after the defeat, with the help of Heshan, I invited Coach Vonho, a Korean professional handball coach, to our school. Vonho fulfilled his duty to the letter — I have never seen a more enthusiastic, supportive, and encouraging trainer. With his efforts, our handball team made great advances. Meanwhile, the team’s parents showed their support by preparing Vonho delicious traditional meals.
The following year, nobody could stop our team from winning the school handball championship in Colombo. The village were proud of our victory, appreciating the hard work and devotion shown by us all.
24. What made it hard for the author to introduce handball

C. His school’s focus on academic scores.
D. His students’ preference for traditional sports.
25. Why did the author decide to start handball
A. To keep his students healthy. B. To make a success in sports.
C. To develop students’ team spirit. D. To strengthen his role of leadership.
26. What did the author think of the students from Colombo
A. Patient. B. Energetic. C. Motivating. D. Competitive.
27. What does the story imply
A. Time and tide wait for no man.
B. The first step is the only difficulty.
C. Success is for those who are prepared.
D. Success is a journey, not a destination.

Some students from Eindhoven University of Technology ( TU/e) have designed a solar-powered SUV that can also be used as a small camper van.
The Stella Terra showed a wide variety of advantages over existing electric SUVs during its 620-mile journey across Morocco. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance. The car was tested on every type of surface,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the TU/e team.
The wide sloping (倾斜的) roof is equipped with built-in solar panels (板) that charge the electric battery while the car is running. This design allowed the creators to reduce the weight of the battery packs, creating a lighter car that uses less electricity. The team drove it from Tangier through the Rif Mountains, down to Fes and up the high mountain tracks near Midelt. They also went to the Sahara Desert area where the vehicle faced loose sandy tracks. At the end of the day, the rooftop solar array (数组) enlarged outward to fully re charge in the remaining daylight. This also created an awning, similar to what would be found in a camper van. The seats can also be fully moved backward to form a bed.
Bosman expressed the team’s ambition to inspire not only the general public but also the car industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to reconsider their designs and make changes at a faster pace. The team believed the market, which has the resources and power to make this change, should accept more sustainable (不破坏生态的) vehicles. The inventors behind the Stella Terra see it as a promising solution for drivers in remote areas without power supply. It also presents an ideal choice for emergency (应急) workers who take on multi-day journeys to transport important supplies or medical personnel to distant locations.
28. Why did the TU/e team test the car in Morocco
A. The landscape has advantages. B. The sunlight is the most intense.
C. There are enough sandy tracks. D. Morocco is in a shorter distance.
29. What does the underlined word “awning” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Dorm. B. Shelter. C. Fence. D. Entrance.
30. What does the TU/e team focus on
A. Camper vans. B. Sustainable cars.
C. Reusable vehicles. D. Power stations.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. Bosman and new energy vehicles
B. Great potentials of the solar power
C. World’s first off-road solar-powered SUV
D. Bosman’s ambition to inspire the car industry
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
D
It seems that the only way to celebrate a child’s first birthday is with a beautiful cake. Simply place one of these elegantly decorated sugar mountain s in front of the baby, roll the cameras and let the photogenic mess begin.
This isn’t how I’ll be marking my daughter’s first 12 months, though — not because there won’t be cake; but because my wife and I have already gone a full year without posting any pictures of her on social media, and we hope to continue this for as long as possible.
I realise that I am in a minority (少数) here. Surveys suggest around three-quarters of parents regularly post photos of their kids online. Pixsy, a service that helps photographers find out when their images are used without their permission, found that parents aged 20-25 were twice as likely as older generations to share baby photos on social media.
But I am not alone. One of the women behind Big Little Feelings, an Instagram (一种图片分享应用) account offering advice for new mothers with 2.8 m followers, recently remove all the photos she had posted of her daughters.
The debate over “sharenthood” — the trend of parents sharing their kids’ data online — has raged (激烈进行) for some time. Everyday decisions made by parents play an underappreciated yet outsized role in determining youths’ digital record, as well as their future life.
Tech advances have introduced new trouble for parents. The latest trend in AI is image-generation tools. Type some descriptive words into a text box, and the AI produces an image of what’s described. The data for these generative-AI systems are often collected from the open Internet.
Sure, the chances are remote that Instagram posts of my daughter would go through this AI production line until her likeness appears in someone’s generative art. But once images are out there on the web, it can be hard to remove them completely.
I do send photos digitally to friends and family through secure, private messaging apps. But these closed networks are very different to posting on the open Internet.
32. How may the author celebrate his daughter’s birthday
A. Have the room decorated for her.
B. Post her pictures on social media.
C. Take photos with a cake before her.
D. Send her photos to friends privately.
33. How many parents post photos of their kids online
A. Less than 10%. B. 20%-25%.
C. 40%-50%. D. Around 75%.
34. What has led to the new trouble for parents
A. Image-generation tools.
B. Kids’ digital records online.
C. Information on the Internet.
D. The descriptive words used by AI.
35. What’s the author’s suggestion for parents
A. Never show up in generative art.
B. Use safe private messaging apps.
C. Remove the images online entirely.
D. Post kids’ photos on closed networks.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We had a discussion about whether the woods next to the school should be turned into a parking lot.
Forty percent of our group are for the idea. They think it will provide more parking spaces for teachers and students, making it more convenient for them to park their cars. Also, it can reduce traffic congestion around the school.
However, sixty percent of us are against it. They believe that the woods are not just a piece of land, but an important part of the school’s ecosystem. They are not only good places for students to relax, but also crucial for improving the school’s environment.
In my opinion, we should definitely protect the woods and look for other solutions to the parking problem. Maybe we can build a multi-story parking building nearby instead.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mama looked up from her weaving (编织), a half-finished mat (垫子) spread across her lap. Beside her was a pile of wild-grass. In the corner were pots of dye(染料) she'd use to paint the finished mats. “Will you fetch me some water for the dyes ” Mama called.
“Of course, Mama!” Alice picked up a clay pol as she ran outside.
She didn't like mat weaving, although it was a tradition for a mother to pass on the trade to her daughter. Alice would rather be playing outdoors with her friends.
Outside, Alice called Jenny, whose house was across from hers. Both girls, with clay pots balanced on their heads, made their way to the Niger River.
When they arrived at the water, they found a huge surprise. The river was gone! In its place was a blanket of dark green leaves dotted by purple flowers——the hyacinths (水葫芦) .“Oh no!” Alice cried, “The river is gone! There's no water for drinking, cooking, or bathing! Mama won't have water to mix the dyes for her mats.” How could such a pretty plant cause such harm Alice wondered.
Some adults arrived at the riverbank. They shook their heads and then walked into the water and began pulling out hyacinths and throwing them onto the riverbank. Alice and Jenny joined them. When they'd cleared enough plants, the girls filled their pots with water.
A pile of hyacinths lay on the riverbank. What a shame to waste such pretty flowers, Alice thought. She picked some for Mama, and then the girls headed home.
Each day, they found the river covered by hyacinths as if no one had cleared the waterfront the day before. To fill their pots, they again had to pull and throw hyacinths onto the riverbank. The pile on the sand grew taller.
One day, as Alice moved an armful of dried hyacinths out of her way, she had an idea.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Carrying the plants under her arm, she ran home. “Mama, will you teach me to weave ”

So Mama and Alice taught Jenny, and they also taught other neighbors.

【答案】Carrying the plants under her arm, she ran home. “Mama, will you teach me to weave ” Alice asked breathlessly. Surprised, Mama nodded, wondering what had sparked her daughter’s sudden interest in mat weaving. Alice explained her idea, “We could use the hyacinths to make mats instead of wild grass. They’re abundant, and we could turn the problem into an opportunity.” Mama listened intently, her eyes lighting up as she understood Alice’s plan. Together, they started experimenting with the hyacinths, trying different weaving techniques and dyeing methods to create unique patterns and designs.
So Mama and Alice taught Jenny, and they also taught other neighbors. Word spread quickly, and soon, the entire community was involved in turning the invasive hyacinths into beautiful, functional mats. The women gathered at the riverbank, working together to clear the waterway while bonding over their shared craft. The mats became a symbol of resilience and unity, showcasing the community’s ability to transform a challenge into a source of income and creativity. As the piles of hyacinths diminished, the river flowed freely once again, and the village thrived, thanks to Alice’s innovative solution.洛阳市2023——2024学年高一质量检测

A
Do we think about how our shopping affects people, animals and the environment Here’s how you can love fashion and the earth.
Ethical (道德的) shopping
Many people in Britain want to know more about the products they buy. They want to know how people, animals and our planet are treated when food, drinks and clothes are produced.
Fairtrade
The Fairtrade Foundation is based in the UK and helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world to earn enough money to live comfortably. The organisation asks companies that grow products such as coffee or bananas to pay fair and to provide their workers with good conditions. The companies that follow these requirements then receive the Fairtrade certificate (证书) and can sell their products with the Fairtrade mark.
Free range and organic
Free range farming means that farm animals spend time outside rather than being inside 24 hours a day. Meat, eggs or dairy products can be free range. Some experts say that this type of farming is preferable because it is less cruel and the animals are healthier. Many people also think that free range food tastes better and is more nutritious than traditionally farmed food. Organic food is produced using few or no chemical fertilisers (肥料) and pesticides (杀虫剂). Some people feel that organic food is safer or healthier than traditional food and that it tastes better.
Ethical clothing
Some clothing factories have been accused (起诉) of employing children and of allowing unsafe conditions. The British public have woken up to the question of where and how their clothes are produced. People are becoming more interested in where their clothes are made, who they are made by, and in what conditions. They want their clothes to look good AND to be ethical.
21. What should a company do to receive the Fairtrade certificate
A. Sell their products with the Fairtrade mark.
B. Earn more money to live more comfortably.
C. Provide good conditions for their employees.
D. Follow the requirements of the UK government.
22. What does organic food refer to
A. Free range products. B. Traditionally cooked dishes.
C. Farm animals living outside. D. Food that is grown naturally.
23. What does the British public care about the fashion business
A. Where the workers work. B. What the clothes are made of.
C. Who the clothes are made for. D. Whether the workers are paid fair.
B
When handball was introduced to Sri Lankan schools in 2019, I wanted to bring it to my school, St Anthony’s, in the remote village of Wasalakotte in central Sri Lanka. This became a challenging task as the sports coach was unwilling to play anything other than traditional sports, such as rugby and basketball.
As headmaster, however, I was determined to start this game at any cost. I foresaw it as a golden opportunity for our school as we had never got a place in traditional sports. The boys were immediately interested and 40 students aged between 13 and 19 signed up to play. Heshan Pradeep, a former student, volunteered to coach the team.
After three months of devoted training, we were able to send an under-19s boys’ team to compete with 50 other schools at the school handball tournament (联赛) held in Colombo. Our boys played remarkably well and reached the semifinals (半决赛). However, in a heartbreaking turn of events, they faced a strong opponent who managed to get a narrow victory. Defeated, the boys fell to the ground, sad and disappointed. Some students from Colombo said, “Don’t cry, brothers. You must come again next year and claim your victory.” If not for the encouraging words of these students, our team may never have returned to Colombo for another tournament.
A few weeks after the defeat, with the help of Heshan, I invited Coach Vonho, a Korean professional handball coach, to our school. Vonho fulfilled his duty to the letter — I have never seen a more enthusiastic, supportive, and encouraging trainer. With his efforts, our handball team made great advances. Meanwhile, the team’s parents showed their support by preparing Vonho delicious traditional meals.
The following year, nobody could stop our team from winning the school handball championship in Colombo. The village were proud of our victory, appreciating the hard work and devotion shown by us all.
24. What made it hard for the author to introduce handball
A. The disapproval of the PE teacher.
B. The lack of equipment at his school.
C. His school’s focus on academic scores.
D. His students’ preference for traditional sports.
25. Why did the author decide to start handball
A. To keep his students healthy. B. To make a success in sports.
C. To develop students’ team spirit. D. To strengthen his role of leadership.
26. What did the author think of the students from Colombo
A. Patient. B. Energetic. C. Motivating. D. Competitive.
27. What does the story imply
A. Time and tide wait for no man.
B. The first step is the only difficulty.
C. Success is for those who are prepared.
D. Success is a journey, not a destination.
C
Some students from Eindhoven University of Technology ( TU/e) have designed a solar-powered SUV that can also be used as a small camper van.
The Stella Terra showed a wide variety of advantages over existing electric SUVs during its 620-mile journey across Morocco. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance. The car was tested on every type of surface,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the TU/e team.
The wide sloping (倾斜的) roof is equipped with built-in solar panels (板) that charge the electric battery while the car is running. This design allowed the creators to reduce the weight of the battery packs, creating a lighter car that uses less electricity. The team drove it from Tangier through the Rif Mountains, down to Fes and up the high mountain tracks near Midelt. They also went to the Sahara Desert area where the vehicle faced loose sandy tracks. At the end of the day, the rooftop solar array (数组) enlarged outward to fully re charge in the remaining daylight. This also created an awning, similar to what would be found in a camper van. The seats can also be fully moved backward to form a bed.
Bosman expressed the team’s ambition to inspire not only the general public but also the car industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to reconsider their designs and make changes at a faster pace. The team believed the market, which has the resources and power to make this change, should accept more sustainable (不破坏生态的) vehicles. The inventors behind the Stella Terra see it as a promising solution for drivers in remote areas without power supply. It also presents an ideal choice for emergency (应急) workers who take on multi-day journeys to transport important supplies or medical personnel to distant locations.
28. Why did the TU/e team test the car in Morocco
A. The landscape has advantages. B. The sunlight is the most intense.
C. There are enough sandy tracks. D. Morocco is in a shorter distance.
29. What does the underlined word “awning” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Dorm. B. Shelter. C. Fence. D. Entrance.
30. What does the TU/e team focus on
A. Camper vans. B. Sustainable cars.
C. Reusable vehicles. D. Power stations.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. Bosman and new energy vehicles
B. Great potentials of the solar power
C. World’s first off-road solar-powered SUV
D. Bosman’s ambition to inspire the car industry
D
It seems that the only way to celebrate a child’s first birthday is with a beautiful cake. Simply place one of these elegantly decorated sugar mountain s in front of the baby, roll the cameras and let the photogenic mess begin.
This isn’t how I’ll be marking my daughter’s first 12 months, though — not because there won’t be cake; but because my wife and I have already gone a full year without posting any pictures of her on social media, and we hope to continue this for as long as possible.
I realise that I am in a minority (少数) here. Surveys suggest around three-quarters of parents regularly post photos of their kids online. Pixsy, a service that helps photographers find out when their images are used without their permission, found that parents aged 20-25 were twice as likely as older generations to share baby photos on social media.
But I am not alone. One of the women behind Big Little Feelings, an Instagram (一种图片分享应用) account offering advice for new mothers with 2.8 m followers, recently remove all the photos she had posted of her daughters.
The debate over “sharenthood” — the trend of parents sharing their kids’ data online — has raged (激烈进行) for some time. Everyday decisions made by parents play an underappreciated yet outsized role in determining youths’ digital record, as well as their future life.
Tech advances have introduced new trouble for parents. The latest trend in AI is image-generation tools. Type some descriptive words into a text box, and the AI produces an image of what’s described. The data for these generative-AI systems are often collected from the open Internet.
Sure, the chances are remote that Instagram posts of my daughter would go through this AI production line until her likeness appears in someone’s generative art. But once images are out there on the web, it can be hard to remove them completely.
I do send photos digitally to friends and family through secure, private messaging apps. But these closed networks are very different to posting on the open Internet.
32. How may the author celebrate his daughter’s birthday
A. Have the room decorated for her.
B. Post her pictures on social media.
C. Take photos with a cake before her.
D. Send her photos to friends privately.
33. How many parents post photos of their kids online
A. Less than 10%. B. 20%-25%.
C. 40%-50%. D. Around 75%.
34. What has led to the new trouble for parents
A. Image-generation tools.
B. Kids’ digital records online.
C. Information on the Internet.
D. The descriptive words used by AI.
35. What’s the author’s suggestion for parents
A. Never show up in generative art.
B. Use safe private messaging apps.
C. Remove the images online entirely.
D. Post kids’ photos on closed networks.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mama looked up from her weaving (编织), a half-finished mat (垫子) spread across her lap. Beside her was a pile of wild-grass. In the corner were pots of dye(染料) she'd use to paint the finished mats. “Will you fetch me some water for the dyes ” Mama called.
“Of course, Mama!” Alice picked up a clay pol as she ran outside.
She didn't like mat weaving, although it was a tradition for a mother to pass on the trade to her daughter. Alice would rather be playing outdoors with her friends.
Outside, Alice called Jenny, whose house was across from hers. Both girls, with clay pots balanced on their heads, made their way to the Niger River.
When they arrived at the water, they found a huge surprise. The river was gone! In its place was a blanket of dark green leaves dotted by purple flowers——the hyacinths (水葫芦) .“Oh no!” Alice cried, “The river is gone! There's no water for drinking, cooking, or bathing! Mama won't have water to mix the dyes for her mats.” How could such a pretty plant cause such harm Alice wondered.
Some adults arrived at the riverbank. They shook their heads and then walked into the water and began pulling out hyacinths and throwing them onto the riverbank. Alice and Jenny joined them. When they'd cleared enough plants, the girls filled their pots with water.
A pile of hyacinths lay on the riverbank. What a shame to waste such pretty flowers, Alice thought. She picked some for Mama, and then the girls headed home.
Each day, they found the river covered by hyacinths as if no one had cleared the waterfront the day before. To fill their pots, they again had to pull and throw hyacinths onto the riverbank. The pile on the sand grew taller.
One day, as Alice moved an armful of dried hyacinths out of her way, she had an idea.
注意：

Carrying the plants under her arm, she ran home. “Mama, will you teach me to weave ”
