Notice
With the approaching of the International Bird Loving Day, our school will hold an outdoor bird-watching activity this Sunday morning. As scheduled, the activity will begin at 8:00 a.m. at the school lecture hall where the biology teacher will explain basic principles of scientific observation. Then, we’ll walk to the forest park near our school where an experienced guide will lead us some dos and don’ts of bird-watching. Please wear comfortable shoes and take sun cream with you in case of getting sun burnt. Being punctual is also of vital importance. Whoever is interested is welcome to join us.

第二节：
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood. Gathering my courage, I introduced myself as the young representative of the well-known greeting-card company. The initial responses were mixed — some were hesitant, while others were fascinated by the idea of a child engaged in such a venture. As I showcased the high-quality cards and shared the story behind each design, the doubt began to fade away, replaced by genuine interest. Surprisingly, my shy character transformed into enthusiasm, and I found myself engaging in conversations that extended beyond the purpose of sales.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954. The community’s response exceeded my expectations, and the support I received went beyond mere financial transactions. Neighbors were not just buying cards; they were encouraging a young entrepreneur. This unexpected journey into sales not only alleviated my financial concerns for Christmas but also instilled a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. It broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for a newfound belief in the possibilities that determination and courage could unfold, regardless of age.
答案解析
第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）
1-5 BABCA 6-10 BCBCB 11-15 ACABA 16-20 CACCA
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
DCA 24-27 CACB 28-31 DBCA 32-35 DDBA
21. D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章What to Expect at the Fair 部分，“For book lovers, it’s an opportunity to get autographs (亲笔签名) from many popular authors and ask them some questions.”可知，游客可以与作家咨询问题，与之进行沟通交流，故选D。
22. C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章How Much Does the Fair Cost 部分可知，成人周末10美元，12岁以下不收费，故一对夫妇和两个12岁以下的儿童，共计20美元。
23. A【解析】理解目的。通过文章结尾段，作者对读者进行呼吁，可知该文本主要是为一次书市做宣传。
24. C【解析】细节理解题。通过文章第二段“they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and ensure the security of ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i for future generations.”可知，该校学生承担传承夏威夷当地语言的重任。
25. A【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段“they’re encouraged to focus on “more useful” subjects and use English, which are believed to assist them in achieving success in their work.”可知，为了在工作中取得成功，很多学生放弃夏威夷语言的学习。
26. C【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段。第四段“In 2016, there were 18,610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands. One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe,”可知，目前夏威夷语言的使用者远达不到安全数量100000，因此需要更多使用者才能确保该语言的安全。
27. B【解析】理解态度。由文章最后一段“Fortunately, …take the responsibility to continue the work …expanding access to ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i…making the language a practical skill in adulthood…share their hopes for the better”可知，作者肯定目前人们保护夏威夷语言的努力，对夏威夷语言的未来持积极乐观态度。
28. D【解析】推理判断。由文章第一段“an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. …. a Japanese pedometer (计步器), with no science to back it up.”可知，现有的观点缺乏科学依据，本项研究旨在为科学的走路步数提供证据，由此可知本研究为了为日常走路锻炼提供科学指导。
29. B 【解析】理解词汇。所猜单词leveled off之后有“meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity”可知多余的步数并不会增加额外的好处，由此可知步数到达一定量之后降低死亡的风险趋于稳定，不再变化。
30. C【解析】推理判断。由“for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000-8,000 steps per day, while for adults younger than 60, about 8,000-10,000 steps per day.”可知年龄不同，最佳效果步数也不一样。
31. A 【解析】细节理解。由文章最后一段Paluch所说的“There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity. More steps per day are better for your health.”可知，不运动的的人，增加走路步数对健康有益，因此可知Paluch建议不运动的人应该增加走路步数。
32. D【解析】细节理解。由文章第二段“The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9,000 years… By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow’s milk to feed their babies.”可知，使用牛奶作为食物由来已久。
33. D【解析】理解目的。文章第三段作者提及欧洲和蒙古都是为了印证上文中“one recent finding suggests milk drinking occurred before these mutations and might not even require them.”这一观点，即使用例子阐明观点。
34. B【解析】推理判断题。由文章最后一段“how wrong-headed one-size-fits-all nutritional guidance can be.”和“how much our bodies process depends, at least in part, on our own genes.”可知牛奶的吸收因人而异，不能一概而论。
35. A【解析】主旨大意题。全文主要涉及“人们如何开始食用牛奶”、“为何部分人乳糖不耐受”、“基因突变既然不是人们能够消化牛奶的原因，那么是什么因素让人们可以吸收牛奶”等问题展开，归纳起来即为“牛奶食用之谜”。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
36-40 GECFD
36. G【解析】理解段落结构。空格前介绍个人职业，空格后介绍工作目的，因此空格处应为“我”的工作内容，故选择G。
37. E【解析】理解句际关系。上文提到Utah and Colorado，介绍了在Utah看到的景象，37空说明在另一工作场所Colorado的工作情况，故选E。
38. C【解析】理解段落结构。本段讲述作者工作的艰辛，选择C选项作为本段主旨句。
39. F【解析】理解句际关系。上文讲述灰尘使雪的颜色变黑，F项中as a result表明由此导致的结果。
40. D【解析】考查代词衔接手段。下文中them回指D选项中的models。
第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
41-45 BDCAC 46-50 ADBAB 51-55 CDABD
41. B【解析】本句表明烤箱还不广泛为人们所使用(available)，因此有了社区共用烤箱的传统。
42. D【解析】人们共用烤箱做食物，因此选择cooked。
43. C【解析】Brickyard Bakery有一次采用(adopted)这一办法来为社区居民服务。
44. A【解析】该面包店主动为人们提供烤箱，烘烤食物，因此选择offers这一答案。
45. C【解析】烘烤食物通常(typically)需要四五个小时，因为耗时长，很多人无法支付燃料费用。
46. A【解析】因为耗时长，很多人无法支付(afford)燃料费用。
47. D【解析】面包店恢复了公共烤箱这一做法，使这一传统再次为人们所使用，因此选择reintroduced。
48. B【解析】人们可以在家把面包胚做好，在送到面包店加工，因此选择prepare。
49. A【解析】人们在家准备，但是不在家烤蛋糕，而是送到Brickyard Bakery，因此选择instead of。
50. B【解析】制作好的蛋糕胚，送往(deliver)Brickyard Bakery烤熟。
51. C【解析】人们因为付不起高额的燃料费而烦恼(upset)。
52. D【解析】如果有一个人遭遇这样的问题，一定还有更多的人面临(faced with)这一问题。
53. A【解析】对面包店而言，花的钱并不多，但是对他人产生重大影响（make a difference）。
54. B【解析】人们对面包店的这一举动反应积极，也因此店主决定将烤蛋糕的服务(service)提供的日期延长至圣诞节。
55. D【解析】此处指面包店所提供的烤面包的服务(service)。
第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分，大小写错误、拼写错误均不得分）
56. further 57. The 58. was listed 59. located 60. himself
61. which 62. has helped 63. as 64. doing 65. recognition
56. further【解析】考查语境下形容词比较级的运用。很多人停留在梦想之中，而文章主人公更进一步(further)，付诸行动。
57. The【解析】考查语境中定冠词的运用。这里特指上文中的Jim Spear，因此使用定冠词。
58. was listed 【解析】考查语境中谓语动词的运用。长城被列为世界文化遗产，使用过去时态、被动语态，主谓一致考虑单数，因此答案为was listed。
59. located 【解析】考查语境中过去分词作后置定语。Locate与place构成逻辑上的被动关系，因此使用过去分词作后置定语。
60. himself 【解析】考查语境中的反身代词的用法。此处意为Jim Spear本人亲自打理庭院，因此使用反身代词himself。
61. which【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句缺少主语，先行词为物，因此使用关系代词which。
62. has helped 【解析】考查语境中谓语动词的时态和主谓一致。根据over the years可知，此处应使用现在完成时，主语为单数，因此答案为has helped。
63. as 【解析】考查具体语境下的介词运用。Operate as意为“充当、用作”，这里指Spear翻新的房子用作旅馆和餐馆。
64. doing 【解析】考查语境中的非谓语动词用法。此处do和the architect构成逻辑上的主动关系，因此使用现在分词doing作状语。
65. recognition 【解析】考查语境中的名词运用。介词In之后用recognition作介词宾语，构成短语in recognition of。

M: The astronomy club’s star watching event was fantastic last night!
W: Really I missed it because I was showing and explaining my work from my art class.
M: Join us next time. Hopefully we’ll see some shooting stars then!
(Text 2)
M: How did your exam go yesterday
W: I think I did well on the multiple-choice section, and I understood the blank filling questions, but the essay part was a real killer.
(Text 3)
M: Which floor would you like me to press
W: Thirty-six, please.
M: We’re on the same floor. I’m in the Williams Company.
W: Me too. I’m new here.
(Text 4)
M: Do you have any idea about the winter vacation, Natalie I remember you had a great time hiking with your friends last year.
W: Hmm … I’ll definitely go back to the mountains, but this time I’m thinking of skiing.
(Text 5)
W: Jim, that tree in my front garden which I’m going to dig up, do you want it
M: Thanks for the offer, Maggie, but I moved into a house with little outdoor space recently.
(Text 6)
M: Did you hear about the community theater’s line-up After the hit Romeo and Juliet, they’re thinking of doing Hamlet and Macbeth next!
W: That’s interesting, but I’ve seen Hamlet so many times. What’s special about this one
M: Well, my cousin’s doing the stage design. He’s planning something really innovative, combining modern and traditional elements.
W: That sounds attractive. How about Macbeth
M: Macbeth could be great too. They’re considering a female lead for Macbeth, which could give it a fresh perspective.
W: Hmm, a tough choice. Both sound promising.
(Text 7)
W: How may I help you
M: Yes, my doctor recommended I include more protein in my diet. I am a vegetarian. I don’t eat meat but I think I can drink milk.
W: Yeah, milk is a good source of protein. Come this way. We have a lot of options to choose from.
M: You’re right. There are many kinds. Hmm. I have to watch out my weight too. My doctor also warned me against having fried and sugary food. This one has more than 5 grams of fat.
W: In that case, I would suggest non-fat milk and you can add nuts or grains for more vitamins and minerals.
M: Thank you. You’ve been a great help.
(Text 8)
W: Philip, are you free this afternoon The product design team is scheduled to make a presentation about Trend Ⅳ — our latest mobile phone at 3 p.m.
M: Actually, I’m occupied with writing an urgent survey report.
W: I know you’re quite busy because you just came to our design department from marketing department. But it will really help you settle in here if you attend it.
M: OK. I think I can fit it into my schedule. Where will it be held
W: It will take place in our main conference room on the 5th floor in “Enterprises East Wing.” It’s just a 5-minute walk from your office. If you’d like, I’ll walk you over there.
M: I’d appreciate it. I’m still a stranger here. I’ll stop by your office a quarter before the presentation begins.
(Text 9)
M: Today I’m talking to 21-year-old, long-distance runner Ann Brown, who’s just returned from the World Championships. So, Ann, how did you feel about your performance in the championships
W: I’d only had a few weeks of training, so I never thought I would do brilliantly, and I was happy to get the silver medal.
M: Do you train every day or do you take a day off
W: The accepted idea is that sportspeople should have at least one rest day a week. But for me I find I can keep going without one.
M: What about your competitors in races — do you get to know them as friends
W: I tend to keep a professional distance. It’d be too easy to let friendships start influencing the way I run races.
M: So do you have any favorite free time activities
W: When I was a kid, I used to fly my kite at the top of the hills. But now, skiing’s something that I get into quite a bit when I’m free. I’ve always enjoyed active things, and never really been much of a reader.
(Text 10)
W: Good afternoon, I’m Ella, my blog is about clothes for students. I didn’t get many hits at first, but one newspaper wrote something about me, and more people started to look at the blog. Then, a local TV channel interviewed me for a program. Since then, the blog has developed even faster, so I’m no longer working alone. A photographer agreed to take some shots for the site. To better show the clothes, my brother Eden offered to be my model. And I considered hiring a make-up artist. Luckily, Bonnie, my talented friend, helped me.
I make sure I include all kinds of clothes to suit a range of tastes for my readers. I try and think about their budgets, too. Most of the clothes I talk about are readily available. As well as showing the latest styles, I also feature classic clothes I’ve found in second-hand shops. Believe it or not, those from the 1920s are the richest sources of ideas for my recent blog posts, although people enjoyed the clothes from the 1970s most. I also got positive comments about stuff from the 1980s.2024 年湖北省七市州高三年级3月联合统一调研测试

Every morning on the island of Oahu, students at Pū‘ohala Elementary gather on a field as towering mountain s watch them from the mist. Their day starts with songs in‘ lelo Hawai‘i,the islands’ native language, restating values of respect and justice that their teachers hope willguide them through their education, and throughout their lives.
Like most kids their age, they're not concerned about the significance of the language they’re learning. Still, they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and ensure the security of‘ lelo Hawai‘i for future generations.
It was only 50 years ago that the language was on the edge of extinction. Though the situation is much improved, in many ways‘ lelo Hawai‘i is still on life support. Teachers say there's a huge enthusiasm for school kids to learn the language, but as they grow up, they're encouraged to focus on “more useful” subjects and use English, which are believed to assist·them in achieving success in their work. In 2016, there were 18,610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.
“One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe,” says Solomon, professor of Hawaiian language at University of Hawai‘i atMānoa. “The idea is that there are enough people passing it on to the next generation,socializing their children to use the language in all domains of life, to express all thoughts and needs and desires.”
Fortunately, the kids of Pū‘ōhala Elementary will take the responsibility to continue the work of the current young adults defending the language, expanding access to‘ lelo Hawai‘i in part through TikTok and Instagram, and making the language a practical skill in adulthood.These youth, along with those committed to recovering the language from previous generations,share their hopes for the better.
24. What are the students at Pū‘ōhala Elementary expected to do
A. To figure out the value of life.
B. To go out of the island of Oahu.
C. To pass their native language down.
D. To draw people's attention to folk songs.
25. What makes the students abandon‘ lelo Hawai‘i
A. Career development. B. The improved situation.
C. Lack of enthusiasm. D. Little educational support.
26. What is the current situation of‘ lelo Hawai‘i according to professor Solomon
A. It is used in all walks of life.
B. It his considered a sa fe language.
C. It demands more speakers to be safe.
D. It has one hundred thousand speakers.
27. What is the author's attitude towards the future of‘ lelo Hawai‘i
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Unclear. D. Reserved.

A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second,5,800; the third,7,800; and the fourth, 10,900steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40-53% lower risk of death,compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about6,000-8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases,until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed,”Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before,which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people's risk of early death. “There's a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial,particularly for those who are doing very little activity,” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
28. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people's health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer's working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
29. What does the underlined words“leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable.
C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
30. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pa ce is the key to avoiding early death.
31. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.

Despite its benefits, drinking milk into adulthood, let alone other animals’ milk, is a strange behavior in the animal kingdom. What makes it even stranger is that an estimated 68percent of the global human population is actually lactose(乳糖) intolerant. Scientists are still getting to the bottom of why the practice began and continued. This research could unlock new understandings of our food cultures and even our DNA.
The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9,000 years to modern-dayTurkey near the sea of Marmara, where milk fats have been found on ancient pottery. According to Jessica Hendy, a scientist at the University of York, then milk would have been part of a diverse diet for it was mixed with other food. From its origins, the technology of making use of milk spread into the Caucasu s and then across Europe. By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow's milk to feed their babies.
For a long time, researchers believed that milk drinking changed as a cultural practice hand in hand with the spread of genetic mutations(变异) that allowed people to tolerate milk into adulthood. But one recent finding suggests milk drinking occurred before these mutations and might not even require them. In Europe, people appear to have been drinking milk for thousands of years before any genetic ability to drink milk became common. The ancient cheese making equipment might offer part of the solution: Fermenting(发酵) milk into yogurt,cheese, or other products reduces the amount of lactose. In Mongolia, researchers have not yet found a genetic mutation that allows people to digest lactose, despite the major role of milk in that culture. So some scientists held that there might be other potential factors helping.
What we do know about the history of milk reveals how wrong-headed one-size-fits-all nutritional guidance can be, In modern America, milk drinking has been presented as a universal good. In reality, how milk is prepared can change the nutritional picture, and how much our bodies process depends, at least in part, on our own genes.
32、What can we learn about milk drinking from paragraph 2
A. It used to be a symbol of identity.
B. It initially started with little babies.
C. It was the key diet of ancient people.
D. It has been a human tradition for long.
33、Why does the author mention Europe in paragraph 3
A. To give a suggestion. B. To define a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To clarify a finding.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Mil k consumption functions as a cure-all.
B、Mil k intake varies from person to person.
C. Milk's nutritional value is beyond imagination.
D. One's milk digestive ability changes constantly.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Mystery of Drinking Milk
B. The Proces s of Genetic Mutations
C. The Phenomenon of Lactose Intolerance
D. The Technology of Making Milk Products

My name is McKenzie Skiles and I'm a snow hydrologist(水文学家) at the University ofUtah in Salt Lake City. 36 Actually, the purpose is to track dust's impact on water resources.
I am most interested in the impact of warming temperatures on snow melting rates, and Ihave started studying snowmelt since 2009 in Utah and Colorado. When I skied to research sites in Utah to collect snow for my experiment, the mountainous landscapes were covered in dust. 37 It's clear that 2009 was one of the biggest years for dust deposition(沉积) onto snow.
38 I usually have to cover several kilometers, carrying a 27-kilogramme pack with a shovel(铲子) to dig a snow hole, tools to cut s now and measure its density, and containers to collect snow for analyses. One year, I hit a dusty area of suow, broke my ski and
sliced my leg open.
In areas with heavy dust deposition, such as the southern Rocky Mountains, dust speeds up melting by one or two months. Warming air temperatures affect snow gathering, but dust builds up over time and darkens the surface. 39
I'm now exploring different ice and snow landscapes for further research. For example,how black-carbon buildup following forest fires affects melting. 40 As we move into a future that is likely to be even dustier, we need them to predict snowmelt for many reasons,including working out how to use water in the western United States efficiently.
A. The dust caused a lot of trouble.
B. I went for miles in the wilderness.
C. Doing my research is no easy task.
D. One of the goals is to develop snowmelt models.
E. In Colorado, the red dust from desert soils had also blown in.
F. As a result, the snow will absorb more sunlight and quick en melting.
G. My job is to sk i in the wilderness to measure dust on top of snow each spring.

I faced a tight budget when I was nine. On November 1st, I used up most of the money Isaved. With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas I didn't have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year's pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members. But then, one evening, Iwas sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine. Several greeting-card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery(文具). Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a well-known greeting-card company in my nation, whose products were of high quality. With my parents' help, I contacted the company,although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products. After my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nine-year-old boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week. I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur's shoebox; it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff. There was a thick binder(活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my try to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success; after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy. However, I was determined to have a try to challenge myself.
