（2024高一上·湖南期中）When Heman Bekele was 6, he got a chemistry set for Christmas. He used it to mix up "potions(魔水)". Back then, only his parents paid attention. Now, in 2024, at 15, Heman is used to a lot more people watching his work.
In October 2023, 3M and Discovery Education named Heman the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge. His prize: $25,000. His accomplishment: inventing a soap that could one day treat and prevent some forms of skin cancer.
It could take years before the soap is available to customers. But Heman, a 10th grader at Woodson High, is determined. Over the summer, he spent every weekday in a lab at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. When he goes back to school this fall, he' ll be at the lab less often. But he' ll stick to his dream and try hard to make it come true.
Heman was born in Africa. He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without protection for their skin. Because of that, some of them developed skin cancer, a disease caused by too much exposure(暴露) to the sun. Treating the cancer is costly, about $40,000. Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease. He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine called imiquimod to a bar of soap. "What is one thing that everyone can use " Heman recalls thinking. "Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option."
Heman needed help to bring his idea to life. In 2023, he came across the 3M Challenge and submitted a video explaining his idea. Soon, he received an invitation to the company's headquarters. He spoke in front of a panel of judges. That day, he was named the winner. Since then, Heman has been working on developing his idea and some adult experts are guiding him, saying he's passionate and inspiring.
4．Why did Heman win the Young Scientist Challenge
A．He discovered a new chemical element.
B．He invented a soap that could prevent skin cancer.
C．He created a potion to cure common illnesses.
D．He developed a sunscreen with long-lasting effects.
5．Why did Heman view soap as the best choice for his invention
A．Because it was a common item people often use.
B．Because he had a personal interest in making soap.
C．Because he wanted to target a specific group of people.
D．Because he believed in the healing function of soap.
6．What is TRUE about Heman's experience at the 3M company's headquarters
A．He was not well-prepared in front of the judges.

三、C
（2024高一上·湖南期中）Ramona is only seven years old, but her paintings sell for around US $2,000 dollars each. That is a good price, especially since each painting takes her no more than 10 minutes.
She doesn't paint the same subjects as the average 7-year-old girl, either. There are no pictures of Mummy and Daddy, or her friends or school. Ramona prefers abstract (抽象的) art. She does not paint the real world. Instead, she paints her feelings about it in broad sweeps of bright colour. In fact, Ramona is an elephant.
Ramona is not the only artist at the Elephant Safari Park on the Indonesian island of Bali, or in Asia as a whole. Art comes naturally to them, "For many years, zookeepers have known that elephants both in zoos and in the wild will pick up sticks and doodle in the dirt," says Mia Fineman, an art historian from New York and author of the book When Elephants Paint.
Mia Fineman says that elephants from different parts of Asia have different styles. Those from central Thailand, for example, prefer cool, dark colours like blue and green. "When I view a painting, I can usually tell what region it's from, and which elephant created it," she says.
Elephant art first appeared in 1997, when two Russian conceptual artists first had the idea of encouraging elephants to paint. For them, the art lay in the idea of elephants painting, rather than in the paintings themselves.
Over time, people have come to enjoy the elephant art for itself. No one will put Ramona and her friends in the same category (类别) as famous painters like Rembrandt or Picasso. But their works are not just random brush strokes, either. Elephants are known to be sensitive and thoughtful creatures. There is no reason why they should not express their feelings about the world around them and what the human race has done to the world.
We may one day come to understand the meaning of elephant art. But will we like what it has to say about us
8．The underlined word "doodle" in paragraph 3 probably means "______".
A．fight fearlessly B．draw roughly
C．walk carelessly D．play happily
9．Why did the two Russian artists encourage elephants to paint
A．They thought the act of elephant painting was an art.
B．Elephants could express their feelings about the world.
C．Elephants' paintings were worth a lot of money.
D．Lost elephants could be found because of their paintings.
10．What does the writer think of elephant art
A．Elephant art can equal human art.
B．Paintings by elephants are meaningless.
C．Much remains to be discovered about elephant art.
D．It is impossible to discover what elephant art means.
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．A new way of making money.
B．An advanced method of training elephants.
C．Different lifestyles of elephants in parks.
D．The amazing art of elephants' paintings.

（2024高一上·湖南期中）Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in the American state of Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks in a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York state, it plays games and music for92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.
The device looks like a small table light, which has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user's interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. It can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.
ElliQ also plays music and provides creative or encouraging sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner's health, and gives reminders to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency.
Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner's device.
Charlotte Mather-Taylor is director of the Broward County, Florida, Area Agency on Aging. She said the COVID-19 pandemic and its following results left many older people more disconnected. Her agency has provided 300 ElliQs which, she believes, help the situation. She said, "We've seen very positive results with it. People generally like her and she makes them smile and brings joy."
Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who studies the effects of loneliness on health, worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human communication. She told The Associated Press that the difficult feeling of loneliness should push people to reconnect socially.
12．What makes the robot ElliQ unique
A．It is made by Intuition Robotics in America.
B．It can play games and music for the old.
C．It uses AI to help the old fight loneliness.
D．It can talk in a friendly female voice.
13．What do we know about ElliQs
A．They are intelligent and well-rounded women.
B．They can have deep discussions with the owners.
C．They are small table lights with human-like heads.
D．They may send the conversations to the company.
14．What can be inferred from Holt-Lunstad's comment
A．ElliQs will push more people to reconnect socially.
B．ElliQs make no difference to smoothing out loneliness.
C．ElliQs will have a promising future for their good effects.
D．ElliQs will have less helpful effects in the long term.
15．What's the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a special AI device.
B．To show us how to operate a new device.
C．To offer some advice on removing loneliness.
D．To call for more care for the old.

47．（2024高一上·湖南期中）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。
The smallest loaf of bread
Once there was a serious shortage (短缺，不足) of food in the town. A rich and kind baker called all the poorest children in town to his bakery (面包店) and gave one loaf of bread to each of them and told them to come back every day for bread until the hard days ended.
Rather than being thankful for the baker's kindness, many of the children fought over who would get the largest loaf. They complained, were bitter (愤愤不平的) about their present situation, and were just out for what they could get.
However, among the crowd was a neatly dressed little girl who had a different attitude. Day after day, patiently, she waited for the others to stop fighting, and she gratefully took the smallest loaf. Then, she thanked the baker and happily brought the loaf home to share with her family.
One day, while slicing (把……切成薄片) the bread, her mother found several silver coins inside the loaf. Quite surprised, she showed her daughter what she had discovered in the bread.
The next day, as usual, the children went back to the bakery. Some impatient children couldn't wait to get the bread. Some kept their eyes on the big loaf. Still others were making a noise, taking the baker's kindness and generosity for granted. The little girl also returned. Holding out the palm of her hand, the girl showed the silver coins to the baker and said, "Sir, we found your money inside the loaf of bread that you so generously gave to us. You must have accidentally dropped the coins while you were baking the loaf." This somehow didn't surprise the baker. He got closer to the little girl smilingly and said lovingly, "No, no, my child. I did not make a mistake." Hearing this, the crowd were curious about what would happen and began to quiet down.
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。
"Keep the money. This is a reward for you!" the baker added.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moved by the girl's story, the children lowered their heads in shame.

4．细节理解题。根据第二段"In October 2023, 3M and Discovery Education named Heman the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge. His prize: $25,000. His accomplishment: inventing a soap that could one day treat and prevent some forms of skin cancer.(2023年10月，3M公司和探索教育公司将赫曼评为他们的青年科学家挑战赛的获胜者。他的奖品：25000美元。他的成就：发明了一种肥皂，这种肥皂有朝一日可能治疗和预防某些形式的皮肤癌)"可知，Heman赢得青年科学家挑战赛是因为他发明了一种有朝一日能治疗和预防某些皮肤癌的肥皂，故选B。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段"Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease. He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine called imiquimod to a bar of soap. ‘What is one thing that everyone can use ' Heman recalls thinking. ‘Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.' (Heman想知道是否有一种更便宜的方法让人们应对这种疾病。他想到在一块肥皂中加入一种叫做咪喹莫特的皮肤癌药物。"每个人都可以使用的一件东西是什么？"Heman回忆起当时的想法。"每个人都使用肥皂和水进行清洁。所以肥皂可能是最好的选择。")"可知，Heman认为肥皂是他发明的最佳选择是因为它是人们经常使用的常见物品，故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据最后一段"In 2023, he came across the 3M Challenge and submitted a video explaining his idea. Soon, he received an invitation to the company's headquarters. He spoke in front of a panel of judges. That day, he was named the winner.(2023年，他遇到了3M挑战赛，并提交了一段视频来解释他的想法。很快，他收到了公司总部的邀请。他在一个评委小组面前发表了讲话。那天，他被评为获胜者)"可知，Heman参加3M公司总部的活动，先是提交视频解释自己的想法，然后受邀前往并在评委面前发言，最终获胜，这一过程是有挑战性的，但最后收获了奖励，所以是很有挑战性但最终是有回报的，故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据第四段"Heman was born in Africa. He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without protection for their skin. Because of that, some of them developed skin cancer, a disease caused by too much exposure(暴露) to the sun. Treating the cancer is costly, about $40,000. Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease.(Heman出生在非洲。他记得看到非洲人在烈日下工作，没有保护自己的皮肤。正因为如此，他们中的一些人患上了皮肤癌，这是一种由过度暴露在阳光下引起的疾病。治疗癌症的费用很高，约为40,000美元。Heman想知道是否有一种更便宜的方法让人们应对这种疾病)"可知，Heman出生在非洲，看到非洲人因在烈日下工作且皮肤缺乏保护而患皮肤癌，治疗费用高昂，所以他想找到一种更便宜的治疗方法，他的发明基于他的个人背景，其意义在于显示了他为非洲社区做贡献的愿望，故选D。

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；说明文；文学艺术类；文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过以7岁的大象Ramona为例，介绍了神奇的大象绘画，主要包括大象艺术家的风格，大象绘画概念的起源和发展，及其作品背后的意义。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题，词义猜测题和主旨大意题四种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有：利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。
8．词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文"Ramona is not the only artist at the Elephant Safari Park on the Indonesian island of Bali, or in Asia as a whole. Art comes naturally to them, "For many years, zookeepers have known that elephants both in zoos and in the wild will pick up sticks (Ramona并不是印尼巴厘岛大象野生动物园里唯一的艺术家，也不是整个亚洲唯一的艺术家。多年来，动物园管理员都知道，无论是在动物园还是在野外，大象都会捡起棍子)"可知，此处指出象群中的艺术家不止Ramona一个，大象普遍会创作，由此可知，画线词与绘画相关，应该与draw roughly"粗略地画"意思一致。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据第五段"For them, the art lay in the idea of elephants painting, rather than in the paintings themselves. (对他们来说，艺术在于大象绘画的想法，而不是绘画本身)"可知，这两位俄罗斯艺术家鼓励大象画画，是因为他们认为大象画画的行为是一种艺术。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据第六段"But their works are not just random brush strokes, either. Elephants are known to be sensitive and thoughtful creatures. There is no reason why they should not express their feelings about the world around them and what the human race has done to the world. (但他们的作品也不只是随意的笔触。众所周知，大象是敏感而体贴的动物。他们没有理由不表达自己对周围世界的感受，以及人类对世界的所作所为)"和最后一段中"We may one day come to understand the meaning of elephant art. (也许有一天我们会明白大象艺术的意义)"可知，作者指出大象的作品并非随意乱画，而是表达了他们对世界，对人类行为的感受，其意义我们有一天会明白。由此可知，作者认为关于大象艺术还有很多有待发现的地方。故选C。
11．主旨大意题。根据第二段"She does not paint the real world. Instead, she paints her feelings about it in broad sweeps of bright colour. In fact, Ramona is an elephant. (她没有描绘真实的世界。相反，她用明亮的色彩描绘了她对它的感受。事实上，Ramona是一头大象)"可知，文章以7岁的大象Ramona为例，介绍了神奇的大象绘画，主要包括大象艺术家的风格，大象绘画概念的起源和发展，及其作品背后的意义。故选D。
【答案】12．C
13．B
14．D

【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和主旨大意题三种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段"The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(该公司和其他官员表示，这是唯一一款使用人工智能（AI）帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)"可知，ElliQ的特殊之处在于它能够运用人工智能与老人交流来帮助老年人对抗孤独。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段"It remembers each user's interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. It can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.(它能记住每个用户的兴趣和他们的谈话内容，为每次新的讨论创造一种特殊的体验。它可以像生命的意义一样深刻，也可以像一个小笑话一样轻松)"可知，ElliQ可以与主人进行深入的讨论。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段"Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who studies the effects of loneliness on health, worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human communication.(杨百翰大学教授朱莉安娜·霍尔特-伦斯塔德研究孤独对健康的影响，她担心像ElliQ这样的设备可能会有短期的有益效果，但它可能会让人们不太愿意寻求人际交流)"可知，从长远来看，ElliQ帮助效果不大，故选D。
15．主旨大意题。根据第二段"The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(这些女性是美国首批接收由Intuition Robotics制造的机器人ElliQ的女性。该公司和其他官员表示，这是唯一一款使用人工智能（AI）帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)"以及文章第一到第五段主要介绍机器人设备 ElliQ的功能，即使用人工智能帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独。最后两段分别介绍了佛罗里达州布劳沃德县老龄化地区机构的主任 Charlotte Mather-Taylor 和杨百翰大学教授 Julianne Holt-Lunstad对这款设备的看法。可知，本文的主要写作目的是介绍一款特殊的人工智能设备。故选A。

【点评】考查完形填空。首先要通读一遍文章，跳过缺失的单词，再根据上下文来判断所缺失的单词的含义，最后对选项进行对比分析，选出正确选项。完形填空旨在测试学生的语言综合运用能力。一些实用的解题策略如下。一、通读全文，把握大意。在开始答题之前，应先通读全文，了解文章的主题和大致内容。这样有助于理解作者的意图，把握文章的整体思路，为后续的填空选择提供正确的方向。二、仔细分析，逐一排查。对于每一个空，要仔细分析所给的选项，逐一排查，选出最符合文意的答案。通常情况下，完形填空中会有几个空白需要填写形容词、副、名词等，要注意所填的词要与句子前后内容相符。三、结合上下文，理解语义。有时候仅从一个空所在的句子很难确定正确的答案，这时需要结合上下文，理解整体的语义环境。通过对前后的语境分析，确定一个合理的答案。四、注意语法结构。完形填空中涉及的语法知识较多，如时态、语态、词性等。在选择答案时，要仔细考虑语法结构是否正确。

【知识点】文字式记叙文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，该篇记叙文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小镇食物短缺时，一位善良的面包师为贫困儿童发面包的故事。多数孩子不知感恩，争抢大面包且满腹牢骚，唯有一个小女孩耐心等待，欣然接受最小的面包并感激面包师。女孩母亲在面包中发现银币，女孩次日归还，认为是面包师不小心掉落，面包师却说并非失误，这让周围吵闹的孩子们安静下来，故事展现了小女孩的美好品德。段落续写：由第一段首句内容"‘把钱拿着。这是给你的奖励！'面包师补充道。"
可知，第一段可描写女孩很惊讶，想知道为什么要给她这个奖励，面包师认为她善良，有耐心，并说幸运会降临到那些懂得感恩的人身上，并向孩子们解释了发生的事情。由第二段首句内容"孩子们被这个女孩的故事所感动，羞愧地低下了头。"可知，第二段可描写大家开始排队等候，礼貌的接过面包，还向面包师表示感谢，小女孩成了希望的象征，提醒人们哪怕是在最具挑战性的时期也要耐心、感恩。续写线索：奖励——惊讶——为什么——解释——羞愧——排队——感谢——象征——祝福。写作时要注意准确运用时态，上下文意思要连贯，符合句际间和段际间的逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇及句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型来提升文章的档次。
【点评】1. 本篇书面表达表达上要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用了一定数量的句式结构，让句子表达更加生动传神，同时使用了较多的高级词汇和固定短语，提高了文章的档次，体现了对英语书面表达熟练的驾驭能力。 例如： Now she wondered why she deserved the "reward". （运用了why引导的宾语从句）；Noticing her hesitation, the baker patted her on the head kindly, saying, "You are always kind, patient and grateful.（运用了现在分词短语作状语）； You know good things often come to those who can wait and be thankful. （运用了省略了that引导的宾语从句以及who引导的定语从句）；With these words, he gently took the girl to the front and patiently
explained to the kids what had happened.（运用了what引导的宾语从句）；What a heart-warming scene! （运用了感叹句）；The little girl, with her quiet grace, had become a symbol of hope and a reminder that even in the most challenging times, virtues like patience,
gratitude, and honesty could lead to unexpected blessings.（运用了that引导的同位语从句）。
2. 读后续写步骤如下
（1）精读文章，确定文章线索。每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索，比如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等，这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求。一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此短文续写的具体要求，如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示，这样考生能做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路。根据文章后面的要求，再次快速回读短文，抓住文章的思路，结合段首的提示语，最终确定续写段落的思路，同时结合文章划线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句。在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
（5）标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。这一点可以帮助考生检查关键词语的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时，务必做到字迹工整与清晰。
3. 在做此类试题时，读到适当的位置，可以短暂停顿，根据已读部分文章的脉络，对文章进行发散思维，设想可能的几种结尾；经常实施微型化训练，也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某段落的首句提示，结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想，推断该段可能要讲述的内容。

（2024高一上·湖南期中）When Heman Bekele was 6, he got a chemistry set for Christmas. He used it to mix up "potions(魔水)". Back then, only his parents paid attention. Now, in 2024, at 15, Heman is used to a lot more people watching his work.
In October 2023, 3M and Discovery Education named Heman the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge. His prize: $25,000. His accomplishment: inventing a soap that could one day treat and prevent some forms of skin cancer.
It could take years before the soap is available to customers. But Heman, a 10th grader at Woodson High, is determined. Over the summer, he spent every weekday in a lab at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. When he goes back to school this fall, he' ll be at the lab less often. But he' ll stick to his dream and try hard to make it come true.
Heman was born in Africa. He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without protection for their skin. Because of that, some of them developed skin cancer, a disease caused by too much exposure(暴露) to the sun. Treating the cancer is costly, about $40,000. Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease. He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine called imiquimod to a bar of soap. "What is one thing that everyone can use " Heman recalls thinking. "Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option."
Heman needed help to bring his idea to life. In 2023, he came across the 3M Challenge and submitted a video explaining his idea. Soon, he received an invitation to the company's headquarters. He spoke in front of a panel of judges. That day, he was named the winner. Since then, Heman has been working on developing his idea and some adult experts are guiding him, saying he's passionate and inspiring.

A．He discovered a new chemical element.
B．He invented a soap that could prevent skin cancer.
C．He created a potion to cure common illnesses.
D．He developed a sunscreen with long-lasting effects.
5．Why did Heman view soap as the best choice for his invention
A．Because it was a common item people often use.
B．Because he had a personal interest in making soap.

4．细节理解题。根据第二段"In October 2023, 3M and Discovery Education named Heman the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge. His prize: $25,000. His accomplishment: inventing a soap that could one day treat and prevent some forms of skin cancer.(2023年10月，3M公司和探索教育公司将赫曼评为他们的青年科学家挑战赛的获胜者。他的奖品：25000美元。他的成就：发明了一种肥皂，这种肥皂有朝一日可能治疗和预防某些形式的皮肤癌)"可知，Heman赢得青年科学家挑战赛是因为他发明了一种有朝一日能治疗和预防某些皮肤癌的肥皂，故选B。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段"Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease. He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine called imiquimod to a bar of soap. ‘What is one thing that everyone can use ' Heman recalls thinking. ‘Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.' (Heman想知道是否有一种更便宜的方法让人们应对这种疾病。他想到在一块肥皂中加入一种叫做咪喹莫特的皮肤癌药物。"每个人都可以使用的一件东西是什么？"Heman回忆起当时的想法。"每个人都使用肥皂和水进行清洁。所以肥皂可能是最好的选择。")"可知，Heman认为肥皂是他发明的最佳选择是因为它是人们经常使用的常见物品，故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据最后一段"In 2023, he came across the 3M Challenge and submitted a video explaining his idea. Soon, he received an invitation to the company's headquarters. He spoke in front of a panel of judges. That day, he was named the winner.(2023年，他遇到了3M挑战赛，并提交了一段视频来解释他的想法。很快，他收到了公司总部的邀请。他在一个评委小组面前发表了讲话。那天，他被评为获胜者)"可知，Heman参加3M公司总部的活动，先是提交视频解释自己的想法，然后受邀前往并在评委面前发言，最终获胜，这一过程是有挑战性的，但最后收获了奖励，所以是很有挑战性但最终是有回报的，故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据第四段"Heman was born in Africa. He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without protection for their skin. Because of that, some of them developed skin cancer, a disease caused by too much exposure(暴露) to the sun. Treating the cancer is costly, about $40,000. Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way for people to deal with the disease.(Heman出生在非洲。他记得看到非洲人在烈日下工作，没有保护自己的皮肤。正因为如此，他们中的一些人患上了皮肤癌，这是一种由过度暴露在阳光下引起的疾病。治疗癌症的费用很高，约为40,000美元。Heman想知道是否有一种更便宜的方法让人们应对这种疾病)"可知，Heman出生在非洲，看到非洲人因在烈日下工作且皮肤缺乏保护而患皮肤癌，治疗费用高昂，所以他想找到一种更便宜的治疗方法，他的发明基于他的个人背景，其意义在于显示了他为非洲社区做贡献的愿望，故选D。
三、C
（2024高一上·湖南期中）Ramona is only seven years old, but her paintings sell for around US $2,000 dollars each. That is a good price, especially since each painting takes her no more than 10 minutes.
She doesn't paint the same subjects as the average 7-year-old girl, either. There are no pictures of Mummy and Daddy, or her friends or school. Ramona prefers abstract (抽象的) art. She does not paint the real world. Instead, she paints her feelings about it in broad sweeps of bright colour. In fact, Ramona is an elephant.
Ramona is not the only artist at the Elephant Safari Park on the Indonesian island of Bali, or in Asia as a whole. Art comes naturally to them, "For many years, zookeepers have known that elephants both in zoos and in the wild will pick up sticks and doodle in the dirt," says Mia Fineman, an art historian from New York and author of the book When Elephants Paint.
Mia Fineman says that elephants from different parts of Asia have different styles. Those from central Thailand, for example, prefer cool, dark colours like blue and green. "When I view a painting, I can usually tell what region it's from, and which elephant created it," she says.
Elephant art first appeared in 1997, when two Russian conceptual artists first had the idea of encouraging elephants to paint. For them, the art lay in the idea of elephants painting, rather than in the paintings themselves.
Over time, people have come to enjoy the elephant art for itself. No one will put Ramona and her friends in the same category (类别) as famous painters like Rembrandt or Picasso. But their works are not just random brush strokes, either. Elephants are known to be sensitive and thoughtful creatures. There is no reason why they should not express their feelings about the world around them and what the human race has done to the world.
We may one day come to understand the meaning of elephant art. But will we like what it has to say about us
8．The underlined word "doodle" in paragraph 3 probably means "______".
A．fight fearlessly B．draw roughly
C．walk carelessly D．play happily
9．Why did the two Russian artists encourage elephants to paint
A．They thought the act of elephant painting was an art.
B．Elephants could express their feelings about the world.
C．Elephants' paintings were worth a lot of money.
D．Lost elephants could be found because of their paintings.
10．What does the writer think of elephant art
A．Elephant art can equal human art.
B．Paintings by elephants are meaningless.
C．Much remains to be discovered about elephant art.
D．It is impossible to discover what elephant art means.
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．A new way of making money.
B．An advanced method of training elephants.
C．Different lifestyles of elephants in parks.
D．The amazing art of elephants' paintings.

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；说明文；文学艺术类；文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过以7岁的大象Ramona为例，介绍了神奇的大象绘画，主要包括大象艺术家的风格，大象绘画概念的起源和发展，及其作品背后的意义。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题，词义猜测题和主旨大意题四种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有：利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。
8．词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文"Ramona is not the only artist at the Elephant Safari Park on the Indonesian island of Bali, or in Asia as a whole. Art comes naturally to them, "For many years, zookeepers have known that elephants both in zoos and in the wild will pick up sticks (Ramona并不是印尼巴厘岛大象野生动物园里唯一的艺术家，也不是整个亚洲唯一的艺术家。多年来，动物园管理员都知道，无论是在动物园还是在野外，大象都会捡起棍子)"可知，此处指出象群中的艺术家不止Ramona一个，大象普遍会创作，由此可知，画线词与绘画相关，应该与draw roughly"粗略地画"意思一致。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据第五段"For them, the art lay in the idea of elephants painting, rather than in the paintings themselves. (对他们来说，艺术在于大象绘画的想法，而不是绘画本身)"可知，这两位俄罗斯艺术家鼓励大象画画，是因为他们认为大象画画的行为是一种艺术。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据第六段"But their works are not just random brush strokes, either. Elephants are known to be sensitive and thoughtful creatures. There is no reason why they should not express their feelings about the world around them and what the human race has done to the world. (但他们的作品也不只是随意的笔触。众所周知，大象是敏感而体贴的动物。他们没有理由不表达自己对周围世界的感受，以及人类对世界的所作所为)"和最后一段中"We may one day come to understand the meaning of elephant art. (也许有一天我们会明白大象艺术的意义)"可知，作者指出大象的作品并非随意乱画，而是表达了他们对世界，对人类行为的感受，其意义我们有一天会明白。由此可知，作者认为关于大象艺术还有很多有待发现的地方。故选C。
11．主旨大意题。根据第二段"She does not paint the real world. Instead, she paints her feelings about it in broad sweeps of bright colour. In fact, Ramona is an elephant. (她没有描绘真实的世界。相反，她用明亮的色彩描绘了她对它的感受。事实上，Ramona是一头大象)"可知，文章以7岁的大象Ramona为例，介绍了神奇的大象绘画，主要包括大象艺术家的风格，大象绘画概念的起源和发展，及其作品背后的意义。故选D。
四、D
（2024高一上·湖南期中）Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in the American state of Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks in a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York state, it plays games and music for92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.
The device looks like a small table light, which has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user's interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. It can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.
ElliQ also plays music and provides creative or encouraging sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner's health, and gives reminders to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency.
Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner's device.
Charlotte Mather-Taylor is director of the Broward County, Florida, Area Agency on Aging. She said the COVID-19 pandemic and its following results left many older people more disconnected. Her agency has provided 300 ElliQs which, she believes, help the situation. She said, "We've seen very positive results with it. People generally like her and she makes them smile and brings joy."
Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who studies the effects of loneliness on health, worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human communication. She told The Associated Press that the difficult feeling of loneliness should push people to reconnect socially.
12．What makes the robot ElliQ unique
A．It is made by Intuition Robotics in America.
B．It can play games and music for the old.
C．It uses AI to help the old fight loneliness.
D．It can talk in a friendly female voice.
13．What do we know about ElliQs
A．They are intelligent and well-rounded women.
B．They can have deep discussions with the owners.
C．They are small table lights with human-like heads.
D．They may send the conversations to the company.
14．What can be inferred from Holt-Lunstad's comment
A．ElliQs will push more people to reconnect socially.
B．ElliQs make no difference to smoothing out loneliness.
C．ElliQs will have a promising future for their good effects.
D．ElliQs will have less helpful effects in the long term.
15．What's the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a special AI device.
B．To show us how to operate a new device.
C．To offer some advice on removing loneliness.
D．To call for more care for the old.
【答案】12．C
13．B

12．细节理解题。根据第二段"The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(该公司和其他官员表示，这是唯一一款使用人工智能（AI）帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)"可知，ElliQ的特殊之处在于它能够运用人工智能与老人交流来帮助老年人对抗孤独。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段"It remembers each user's interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. It can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.(它能记住每个用户的兴趣和他们的谈话内容，为每次新的讨论创造一种特殊的体验。它可以像生命的意义一样深刻，也可以像一个小笑话一样轻松)"可知，ElliQ可以与主人进行深入的讨论。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段"Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who studies the effects of loneliness on health, worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human communication.(杨百翰大学教授朱莉安娜·霍尔特-伦斯塔德研究孤独对健康的影响，她担心像ElliQ这样的设备可能会有短期的有益效果，但它可能会让人们不太愿意寻求人际交流)"可知，从长远来看，ElliQ帮助效果不大，故选D。
15．主旨大意题。根据第二段"The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device (设备) using artificial intelligence(AI) to help older Americans from loneliness.(这些女性是美国首批接收由Intuition Robotics制造的机器人ElliQ的女性。该公司和其他官员表示，这是唯一一款使用人工智能（AI）帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独的设备)"以及文章第一到第五段主要介绍机器人设备 ElliQ的功能，即使用人工智能帮助美国老年人摆脱孤独。最后两段分别介绍了佛罗里达州布劳沃德县老龄化地区机构的主任 Charlotte Mather-Taylor 和杨百翰大学教授 Julianne Holt-Lunstad对这款设备的看法。可知，本文的主要写作目的是介绍一款特殊的人工智能设备。故选A。

【点评】考查完形填空。首先要通读一遍文章，跳过缺失的单词，再根据上下文来判断所缺失的单词的含义，最后对选项进行对比分析，选出正确选项。完形填空旨在测试学生的语言综合运用能力。一些实用的解题策略如下。一、通读全文，把握大意。在开始答题之前，应先通读全文，了解文章的主题和大致内容。这样有助于理解作者的意图，把握文章的整体思路，为后续的填空选择提供正确的方向。二、仔细分析，逐一排查。对于每一个空，要仔细分析所给的选项，逐一排查，选出最符合文意的答案。通常情况下，完形填空中会有几个空白需要填写形容词、副、名词等，要注意所填的词要与句子前后内容相符。三、结合上下文，理解语义。有时候仅从一个空所在的句子很难确定正确的答案，这时需要结合上下文，理解整体的语义环境。通过对前后的语境分析，确定一个合理的答案。四、注意语法结构。完形填空中涉及的语法知识较多，如时态、语态、词性等。在选择答案时，要仔细考虑语法结构是否正确。

Friendships are like flowers which need to be taken good care of, so you should be friendlier and always be a good listener.

九、第二节 （满分25分）
47．（2024高一上·湖南期中）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。
The smallest loaf of bread
Once there was a serious shortage (短缺，不足) of food in the town. A rich and kind baker called all the poorest children in town to his bakery (面包店) and gave one loaf of bread to each of them and told them to come back every day for bread until the hard days ended.
Rather than being thankful for the baker's kindness, many of the children fought over who would get the largest loaf. They complained, were bitter (愤愤不平的) about their present situation, and were just out for what they could get.
However, among the crowd was a neatly dressed little girl who had a different attitude. Day after day, patiently, she waited for the others to stop fighting, and she gratefully took the smallest loaf. Then, she thanked the baker and happily brought the loaf home to share with her family.
One day, while slicing (把……切成薄片) the bread, her mother found several silver coins inside the loaf. Quite surprised, she showed her daughter what she had discovered in the bread.
The next day, as usual, the children went back to the bakery. Some impatient children couldn't wait to get the bread. Some kept their eyes on the big loaf. Still others were making a noise, taking the baker's kindness and generosity for granted. The little girl also returned. Holding out the palm of her hand, the girl showed the silver coins to the baker and said, "Sir, we found your money inside the loaf of bread that you so generously gave to us. You must have accidentally dropped the coins while you were baking the loaf." This somehow didn't surprise the baker. He got closer to the little girl smilingly and said lovingly, "No, no, my child. I did not make a mistake." Hearing this, the crowd were curious about what would happen and began to quiet down.
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。
"Keep the money. This is a reward for you!" the baker added.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moved by the girl's story, the children lowered their heads in shame.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 "Keep the money. This is a reward for you!" the baker added. "A reward for me " the girl was quite surprised. All these days, she was deeply grateful to the baker for his generosity and understanding. Now she wondered why she deserved the "reward". Noticing her hesitation, the baker patted her on the head kindly, saying, "You are always kind, patient and grateful. You know good things often come to those who can wait and be thankful. You are worth it." With these words, he gently took the girl to the front and patiently explained to the kids what had happened.
Moved by the girl's story, the children lowered their heads in shame. Everything began to change. They waited in line. There were no more complaints, arguments or fighting for the largest loaf. Every kid took the bread politely and offered thanks to the baker. What a heart-warming scene! The little girl, with her quiet grace, had become a symbol of hope and a reminder that even in the most challenging times, virtues like patience, gratitude, and honesty could lead to unexpected blessings.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，该篇记叙文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小镇食物短缺时，一位善良的面包师为贫困儿童发面包的故事。多数孩子不知感恩，争抢大面包且满腹牢骚，唯有一个小女孩耐心等待，欣然接受最小的面包并感激面包师。女孩母亲在面包中发现银币，女孩次日归还，认为是面包师不小心掉落，面包师却说并非失误，这让周围吵闹的孩子们安静下来，故事展现了小女孩的美好品德。段落续写：由第一段首句内容"‘把钱拿着。这是给你的奖励！'面包师补充道。"
可知，第一段可描写女孩很惊讶，想知道为什么要给她这个奖励，面包师认为她善良，有耐心，并说幸运会降临到那些懂得感恩的人身上，并向孩子们解释了发生的事情。由第二段首句内容"孩子们被这个女孩的故事所感动，羞愧地低下了头。"可知，第二段可描写大家开始排队等候，礼貌的接过面包，还向面包师表示感谢，小女孩成了希望的象征，提醒人们哪怕是在最具挑战性的时期也要耐心、感恩。续写线索：奖励——惊讶——为什么——解释——羞愧——排队——感谢——象征——祝福。写作时要注意准确运用时态，上下文意思要连贯，符合句际间和段际间的逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇及句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型来提升文章的档次。
【点评】1. 本篇书面表达表达上要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用了一定数量的句式结构，让句子表达更加生动传神，同时使用了较多的高级词汇和固定短语，提高了文章的档次，体现了对英语书面表达熟练的驾驭能力。 例如： Now she wondered why she deserved the "reward". （运用了why引导的宾语从句）；Noticing her hesitation, the baker patted her on the head kindly, saying, "You are always kind, patient and grateful.（运用了现在分词短语作状语）； You know good things often come to those who can wait and be thankful. （运用了省略了that引导的宾语从句以及who引导的定语从句）；With these words, he gently took the girl to the front and patiently
explained to the kids what had happened.（运用了what引导的宾语从句）；What a heart-warming scene! （运用了感叹句）；The little girl, with her quiet grace, had become a symbol of hope and a reminder that even in the most challenging times, virtues like patience,
gratitude, and honesty could lead to unexpected blessings.（运用了that引导的同位语从句）。
2. 读后续写步骤如下
（1）精读文章，确定文章线索。每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索，比如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等，这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求。一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此短文续写的具体要求，如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示，这样考生能做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路。根据文章后面的要求，再次快速回读短文，抓住文章的思路，结合段首的提示语，最终确定续写段落的思路，同时结合文章划线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句。在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
（5）标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。这一点可以帮助考生检查关键词语的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时，务必做到字迹工整与清晰。
3. 在做此类试题时，读到适当的位置，可以短暂停顿，根据已读部分文章的脉络，对文章进行发散思维，设想可能的几种结尾；经常实施微型化训练，也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某段落的首句提示，结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想，推断该段可能要讲述的内容。
