She had to work with a human translator to help the deaf boy communicate with those who didn’t know sign language, and it stuck with her. After leaving the laboratory, she began to think if she could invent a device that can translate American sign language into spoken English. She talked about it with her good friend Sarvnaz. Her friend showed great interest and the two girls got down to work. They signed up for an online eight-week machine learning course designed by Stanford University. They also turned to local university professors who directed them to more resources. The teens also reached out to people who used American sign language, and asked them about their preferences. With great effort, they invented a device for deaf people to wear on their hands. Because of the device, in August 2020, the two girls won a competition and took home $5,000. They earned $10,000 a year later when they won a national competition. The teens said they hope to use the money to continue experimenting with the device.第二部分 阅读理解(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)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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AThe Ultimate Guide to SussexSussex offers beautiful countryside, charming seaside towns and some of the best vineyards (葡萄园) in the UK.

(请留意每年十月举行的Beachy Head马拉松比赛。)”可知，游客可以在Beachy Head观看体育赛事。故选B项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Lewes中“If you’re visiting during summer, pack your bathers for a visit to Pells Pool, the oldest known freshwater swimming pool in the UK. You’ll need to pre-book a session. (如果你是在夏天去，带着你的游泳用品去参观Pells游泳池，这是英国最古老的淡水游泳池。你需要提前预约。)”可知，游客在去Pells游泳池之前，要提前预约。故选A项。【23题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段“Sussex offers beautiful countryside, charming seaside towns and some of the best vineyards (葡萄园) in the UK. Plan your Sussex getaway with our ultimate guide. (苏塞克斯拥有美丽的乡村、迷人的海滨小镇和一些英国最好的葡萄园。与我们的终极指南一起计划您的苏塞克斯之旅。)”可知，本文主要介绍了苏塞克斯最值得游览的旅游景点，所以其目的是告诉我们在苏塞克斯有什么值得探索的。故选C项。BDespite being connected online, no matter what state you’re from, each city still retains its own language and slang. At my public high school in Los Angeles, we had our own secret language. A party was a “yart”. A beer was a “brewsky”. If I tried to use these words in front of anyone that didn’t live in Los Angeles, they would have no idea what was going on. When I came to college and used these words around my roommate from the East Coast, she would look at me with a blank stare.Teenagers are often blamed for pulling apart standard linguistic patterns. The way my parents used to talk isn’t the same way that teenagers talk now. But it reflects the dynamic nature of language, which evolves over time due to various influences, including generational shifts and technological advancements. Teenagers, at an age when they are actively exploring their identity and seeking to differentiate themselves from previous generations, often play a significant role in this evolution.It’s interesting to note that people around the world all have different terms for everyday things. Last year, I came across a British show called Love Island, which is a reality show that mixes people from different parts of the U. K. in a “villa”(another word Americans don’t typically say) for about eight weeks. As a bystander, the way they talked felt so elegant and fun, but to them, it was just normal.Whether the way we talk is regional or from online, the soul of communication lies in its power to connect people, foster understanding, and facilitate interactions that shape our personal and social lives. I have often found it’s the way we connect with the people we live around.24. Why might the roommate not understand the author’s high school language A. It is specific to Los Angeles. B. It is too informal.C. It is outdated. D. It is from online.25. According to the text, how do the teenagers contribute to the evolution of language A. By imitating their parents.B. By applying advanced technology.C. By following previous language patterns.D. By finding their own voice.26. Why does the author mention the British show in paragraph 3 A. To demonstrate worldwide language diversity.B. To speak highly of British English.C. To recommend a reality show.D. To introduce everyday expressions in Britain.27. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph A. The means of communication. B. The nature of communication.C. The elements of communication. D. The process of communication.【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。尽管有网络连接，但每个城市仍然保留着自己的语言和俚语。无论我们的谈话方式是地区性的还是网络性的，沟通的灵魂在于它能将人们联系起来，增进理解，促进互动，从而塑造我们的个人和社会生活。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If I tried to use these words in front of anyone that didn’t live in Los Angeles, they would have no idea what was going on. (如果我试图在任何不住在洛杉矶的人面前使用这些词，他们会不知道发生了什么。)”可知，如果在洛杉矶以外的地方讲作者的高中方言，听众会一头雾水。故选A。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Teenagers, at an age when they are actively exploring their identity and seeking to differentiate themselves from previous generations, often play a significant role in this evolution. (青少年在积极探索自己的身份并寻求与前几代人区分开来的年龄，往往在这一演变中发挥着重要作用。)”可知，青少年正处在积极探索自我，力求与前辈不同的时期，所以他们会创造出专属的说话方式，这一行为在语言的演变中起了重要作用。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s interesting to note that people around the world all have different terms for everyday things. Last year, I came across a British show called Love Island, which is a reality show that mixes people from different parts of the U. K. in a “villa”(another word Americans don’t typically say) for about eight weeks. As a bystander, the way they talked felt so elegant and fun, but to them, it was just normal.(有趣的是，世界各地的人们对日常事物都有不同的说法。去年，我看到了一个叫《爱情岛》的英国节目，这是一个真人秀节目，让来自英国不同地区的人住在一个“别墅”(美国人通常不会说这个词)里，为期八周。作为一个旁观者，他们的谈话方式是如此优雅和有趣，但对他们来说，这只是正常的。)”可知，作者引用自己观看英国真人秀的经历，是为了支持自己在第三段第一句中表达的观点。故选A。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Whether the way we talk is regional or from online, the soul of communication lies in its power to connect people, foster understanding, and facilitate interactions that shape our personal and social lives. (无论我们的谈话方式是地区性的还是网络性的，沟通的灵魂在于它能将人们联系起来，增进理解，促进互动，从而塑造我们的个人和社会生活。)”可知，本段的关键词是“the soul of communication”。故本段主要讲了沟通的本质。故选B。CIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.28. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.29. What can we know from the scientific findings A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.30. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjectsB. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language31. What is mainly talked about in this passage A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究表明，学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度，让人变得更聪明，而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density(灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变灰质密度。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。)”可知，一项新研究发现学习新语言可以提高脑力，改变大脑的灰质密度，接着“It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(这与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似。)”提到学习新语言提高脑力与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似，结合常识可知，锻炼时会通过各种运动来活动肌肉，让肌肉变得更强大，由此可推测出，提到锻炼是为了更好地说明学习新语言能够有效训练大脑，让头脑变得更灵活。故选D。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.(研究还发现，学习第二语言的人越年轻，效果就越大。)”和第四段“Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.(扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度高于没有学第二语言的人。但一个人在掌握一门新语言之前等待的时间越长，差异就越小。)”可推知，学习第二语言会增加灰质密度，而且越早学习，效果就越好，越晚学习，灰质密度的变化就越小。故选B。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. ‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.’ he said. ‘You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.’(威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究了双语与数学技能之间的联系。他说：‘拥有两种语言可以给你打开两扇世界之窗，让大脑更加灵活。你实际上超越了语言，对不同的想法有了更好的理解。’)”和最后一段中的“The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. ‘Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,’ explained the scientists.(结果表明，他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。科学家们解释说：‘学习一门语言意味着你可以进入另一个世界。’)”可知，威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究双语与数学技能之间的联系，他认为学习语言可以更好地了解不同的想法；科学家们认为学习语言让人了解另一个世界，而不单单局限于语言方面，而且越早学习，效果就越好。由此可推测出，提早学习第二语言有助于学习其他科目。故选A。【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段中用问题“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language (你没有注意到，自从你开始学习一门语言以来，你变得更聪明了吗？)”引出学习语言会让人变聪明的话题，接下来具体介绍了一项新研究的发现：学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度（这是大脑中的信息加工区域），而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。由此可推测出，本文主要讲述的是学习新语言有助于提高人的思维能力。故选C。DWildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.32. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.C. To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.33. What is the biggest threat to wildlife A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about A. The activities of protection areas.B. The importance of biodiversity promotion.C. The relevant efforts of international organizations.D. The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.35. What does the author want to present in the last paragraph A. The necessity of legislation.B. The wildlife conservation’s achievements.C. The individuals’ contributions to the environment.D. The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了野生动物保护的重要性和措施。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.(野生动物保护旨在确保这些物种的生存，并教育人们与其他物种可持续地生活在一起。)”可知，野生动物保护旨在确保动植物的生存，让人类与其他物种和谐共处。故选B。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet.(如今，世界人口已超过80亿，而且还在继续快速增长。经济增长危及世界各地各种野生动物的栖息地和生存，特别是动物和植物，它们可能因土地开发而流离失所，或被用于食物或其他人类目的。这一威胁高居榜首，意味着地球上数十亿人正在以前所未有的速度消耗自然资源。)”可知，人类活动是野生动植物的最大威胁。故选B。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts.(世界野生动物基金会、保护国际、野生动物保护协会和联合国等国际组织在许多不同的方面努力支持全球动物和栖息地保护。)”可知，第三段介绍了一些国际组织在保护野生动植物方面做出的努力。故选C。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.(国家地理探险家，如保护生物学家Camille Coudrat和Titus Adhola，正在努力减缓全球物种的灭绝，保护全球生物多样性和栖息地。像Thomas P. Peschak这样的环保电影制作人和摄影师，对保护工作也至关重要，他们记录并关注世界各地的濒危野生动物。)”可知，作者在最后一段向我们呈现了一些个人对环境做出的贡献。故选C。第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The UK typically produces an additional 30% of rubbish throughout the festive period compared to the rest of the year, as Britons collectively send over 100 million bags of rubbish to landfills every Christmas. ___36___.Remember that less is more.

E【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了圣诞节的礼物包装对环境造成的影响，并提出了一些环保的方法。【36题详解】上文“The UK typically produces an additional 30% of rubbish throughout the festive period compared to the rest of the year, as Britons collectively send over 100 million bags of rubbish to landfills every Christmas. (与一年中其他时间相比，英国在节日期间通常会产生额外30%的垃圾，因为英国人每年圣诞节都会向垃圾填埋场发送超过1亿袋垃圾。)”说明圣诞节产生的垃圾会对环境造成影响，选项G“值得庆幸的是，我们已经准备好分享一些建议，让你在这个圣诞节减少影响”承接上文，引出主题，为减轻圣诞节造成的影响，文章将给予一些建议。故选G项。【37题详解】上文“In addition, of all the purchases made for Christmas, only 1% will remain in use six months down the line. (此外，在所有为圣诞节购买的商品中，只有1%会在六个月后继续使用。)”说明圣诞节购买的商品质量很差，不耐用，选项F“所以你在买礼物的时候最好注重质量，而不是数量。”承接上文，和上文是因果关系，所以购买礼物要注重质量。故选F项。【38题详解】下文“When you buy an Ocean Bottle, you fund the collection of one thousand ocean-bound plastic bottles before they enter the ocean. (当你买了一个海洋瓶，你就资助了1000个海洋塑料瓶的收集，然后它们才进入海洋。)”说明买一个海洋瓶就相当于资助了1000个海洋塑料瓶的收集，选项A“一份礼物可能意味着1000份”符合本段主题。故选A项。【39题详解】下文“So, you can rest assured that they won’t end up in the landfill before next Christmas! (所以，你可以放心，它们不会在明年圣诞节前被扔进垃圾填埋场！)”说明这种产品耐用，不会很快被丢弃，选项D“它们经久耐用，保修10年”引领下文，和下文存在因果关系。故选D项。【40题详解】上文“You need to know the materials. (你需要了解材料。)”说明要了解所买产品的材料，选项E “虽然我们很多人都知道一次性塑料是不能回收的”承接上文，谈到很多人知道一次性塑料这种材料不能回收，引出下文“it can be easy to forget about other things like wrapping paper or our clothing (我们很容易忘记其他的东西，比如包装纸或衣服。)”转折语义，但是人们还是使用一次性塑料，而忘记其他更环保的东西。故选E项。第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)Yoriko, a sheepshead fish (kobudai in Japanese), first met Arakawa nearly 30 years ago.

It was hotter than normal — too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. This was the day we had waited so long for. I looked out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces flashed across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, with worry and excitement on his face. Adrenaline (肾上腺素) pumped through my body, and the race began.For the first two and a half miles, I felt great. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with strictly controlled practices and a strict diet. My friends hadn’t seen me in weeks, but they understood the sacrifice required to make my dream a reality.My dad and I had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was excited by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice — telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the blossoms (花簇) of the orange trees, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking with every step the path to greatness.But without warning, when I was 200 yards away from the finish line, my legs stopped working. My lungs fought to take in enough air, and my feet transformed into cement (水泥) bricks. I still don’t know what happened in those last few moments. Nothing I could do would make them hold my weight. They were as weak as jelly.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。Even though I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed, I had to finish the race.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“I’m so sorry I disappointed you,” I whispered to Dad.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible versionEven though I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed, I had to finish the race. With all of the strength left in me, I got on my hands and knees and crawled without stop for a moment. Voices, both foreign and familiar, cheered me on. They gave me the courage to keep going until the very end. Although my friends rushed to me, helping me get back on my feet and in the meantime continuously offering comforting words of encouragement, there was only one person I wanted to talk to at that moment — my dear dad. My eyes searched the crowd for him. However, fear pulsed through all my veins as he pushed his way to my side. No sooner had he got close to me than tears spilled all over my cheeks.“I’m so sorry I disappointed you,” I whispered to Dad. He reached out and gently wiped away my tears, his voice filled with love and understanding. “My dear child, you could never disappoint me. Sometimes these things just happen. All that matters is that you did your best. Don’t you know that you are my dream come true ” His words brought a sense of comfort, and I realized that my dad’s support and love were unwavering, regardless of the outcome. I had thought my dad was running after a prize. What I realized, though, was that he was running after me. To him, I was the greatest prize he had ever won. It wasn’t long before I put on my running shoes again to mark a new path for my journey.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和父亲很期待自己能在高中最后一年的越野赛跑上获得好成绩，不料在比赛过程中，作者突然体力耗尽，虽然作者最后尽力越过终点，但是却没获得好成绩，作者觉得让父亲和大家失望了，父亲却说只要尽力了，不会失望。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“尽管我知道我的胜利梦想破灭了，但我必须完成比赛。”以及第二段首句内容“‘对不起，让你失望了。’我低声对爸爸说。”可知，第一段可描写虽然不可能胜利，作者还是拼尽全力完成了比赛，及到达终点后大家的行动和作者找寻爸爸的行为。②由第二段首句内容“‘对不起，让你失望了。’我低声对爸爸说。”可知，第二段可描写爸爸给作者的鼓励和作者的感悟。2.续写线索：作者期待已久的比赛开始了——作者和自己的父亲已经为了这场比赛努力了三年——比赛一开始，作者感觉良好——作者不断努力，即将实现自己的梦想——在距离终点200码的时候，作者突然失去了所有的力量——作者明白自己胜利无望，但还是拼尽全力完成了比赛——作者觉得自己让父亲失望了，非常难过——可是，父亲却给了作者鼓励，作者决定继续努力3.词汇激活行为类①想要做某事：want to do sth./would like to do sth.②提供：offer/provide③意识到：realize that/be aware that情绪类①害怕：fear/fright②安慰：comfort/consolation【点睛】【高分句型1】Although my friends rushed to me, helping me get back on my feet and in the meantime continuously offering comforting words of encouragement, there was only one person I wanted to talk to at that moment — my dear dad.

At my public high school in Los Angeles, we had our own secret language. A party was a “yart”. A beer was a “brewsky”. If I tried to use these words in front of anyone that didn’t live in Los Angeles, they would have no idea what was going on. When I came to college and used these words around my roommate from the East Coast, she would look at me with a blank stare.Teenagers are often blamed for pulling apart standard linguistic patterns. The way my parents used to talk isn’t the same way that teenagers talk now. But it reflects the dynamic nature of language, which evolves over time due to various influences, including generational shifts and technological advancements. Teenagers, at an age when they are actively exploring their identity and seeking to differentiate themselves from previous generations, often play a significant role in this evolution.It’s interesting to note that people around the world all have different terms for everyday things. Last year, I came across a British show called Love Island, which is a reality show that mixes people from different parts of the U. K. in a “villa”(another word Americans don’t typically say) for about eight weeks. As a bystander, the way they talked felt so elegant and fun, but to them, it was just normal.Whether the way we talk is regional or from online, the soul of communication lies in its power to connect people, foster understanding, and facilitate interactions that shape our personal and social lives. I have often found it’s the way we connect with the people we live around.24. Why might the roommate not understand the author’s high school language A. It is specific to Los Angeles. B. It is too informal.C. It is outdated. D. It is from online.25. According to the text, how do the teenagers contribute to the evolution of language A. By imitating their parents.B. By applying advanced technology.C. By following previous language patterns.D. By finding their own voice.26. Why does the author mention the British show in paragraph 3 A.

What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph A. The means of communication. B. The nature of communication.C. The elements of communication. D. The process of communication.CIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.28. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.29. What can we know from the scientific findings A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.30. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjectsB. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language31. What is mainly talked about in this passage A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.DWildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.32. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.C. To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.33. What is the biggest threat to wildlife A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about A. The activities of protection areas.B. The importance of biodiversity promotion.C. The relevant efforts of international organizations.D. The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.35. What does the author want to present in the last paragraph A. The necessity of legislation.B. The wildlife conservation’s achievements.C. The individuals’ contributions to the environment.D. The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The UK typically produces an additional 30% of rubbish throughout the festive period compared to the rest of the year, as Britons collectively send over 100 million bags of rubbish to landfills every Christmas. ___36___.Remember that less is more.

It was hotter than normal — too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. This was the day we had waited so long for. I looked out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces flashed across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, with worry and excitement on his face. Adrenaline (肾上腺素) pumped through my body, and the race began.For the first two and a half miles, I felt great. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with strictly controlled practices and a strict diet. My friends hadn’t seen me in weeks, but they understood the sacrifice required to make my dream a reality.My dad and I had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was excited by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice — telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the blossoms (花簇) of the orange trees, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking with every step the path to greatness.But without warning, when I was 200 yards away from the finish line, my legs stopped working. My lungs fought to take in enough air, and my feet transformed into cement (水泥) bricks. I still don’t know what happened in those last few moments. Nothing I could do would make them hold my weight. They were as weak as jelly.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。Even though I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed, I had to finish the race.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“I’m so sorry I disappointed you,” I whispered to Dad.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析：江西省婺源天佑中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月考试英语试题（原卷版）.docx 精品解析：江西省婺源天佑中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月考试英语试题（解析版）.docx 听力.mp3
