Birds will sometimes get into fights. Even after a bird gets a hole, it has to watch out: There’s always a chance that a passerby tries to possess it. Owners don’t have many options to wait for and stop thieves. Some police their nest’s entrance hole, but preparing for parenthood is hungry work, and eventually the birds have to leave to get food. So Slagsvold and Wiebe started to look for alternative home-defense systems the birds might be using.They noticed feathers, usually helping animals keep warm, but that doesn’t seem to be how these particular birds are using them. Blue tits, for instance, get feathers on top of the nest, rather than putting them in. Some other birds dump feathers into holes before gathering other materials. “They’re white, and often noticeable,” Wiebe said, “as if the birds want to send a message.”To find out, they built nest boxes — some feathery, some not — in Europe and America, and recorded how tits, flycatchers and swallows reacted. The birds entered feather-free boxes quickly. But they froze at the sight of white feathers, sometimes hesitating outside for an hour. Black feathers scared them less, perhaps because they were harder to see. The feathers didn’t stop the birds as most eventually went inside. But even a brief delay can make a huge difference, Wiebe said. “Even 20 minutes can give the owner enough time to circle back, and fight off their competitors.”The birds’ behavior shows their high-risk lifestyle. They have to think twice as the holes may be hiding danger. The feathers represent possible violence, showing a predator might be inside.The experiment reflects the lies animals tell where nest sites are rare. They build a scene so horrible to discourage nest stealers. Birds are terrified of death. And they can exploit that reality to safeguard what’s theirs.4. What inspired Slagsvold and Wiebe to seek birds’ other possible ways to protect homes A. Birds have to fight to get the limited holes. B. Birds get tired from watching out in nests.C. Birds face many nest stealers on their own. D. Birds leave their nests unattended sometimes.5. What is the function of white feathers outside the nests A. To show a friendly welcome. B. To help stealers avoid danger.C. To buy time for the nest owners. D. To confirm this place is occupied.6. How does the author feel about the birds’ reaction in the experiment A. Understandable. B. Confusing. C. Possible. D. Worrying.7. What’s the best title for the text A Some birds refuse to build their nests B. It’s important for birds to have feathersC. High risks of life lead birds to turn to lies D. Birds create a false scene to protect their nestsCOn the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog,declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂视)as an unimportant dog.the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form,but he continued stealthily to follow the child.When the child reached his door-step,the dog was a few yards behind,moving slowly toward him.He became so anxious with shame when ho again faced the child that he forgot the dragging rope .

The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and soft,and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panic-stricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His ayes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.The child redoubled his efforts.They had a battle on the stairs.The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose,and because the dog was very small.He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home,and finally with victory across the doorway.No family member was in.The child sat down on the floor and made overtures to(向....示好) the dog.These the dog instantly accepted.He smiled with affection upon his new friend.In a short time they were firm and abiding(矢志不渝的)comrades.8.

Worried-angry-scared-delighted.C. Guilty-anxious-nervous-pleased.D. Angry-regretted-scared-puzzled.DSome people hold the idea that being starving is the most effective way of losing body fat. Remember, if we go on a starvation diet, we lose weight but not much fat. In starvation mode, we use up our energy stores of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) first (in the form of a substance called glycogen). However, the body can store only a little glycogen, and this is used up within two days. Then we start breaking down fat and protein. But we can’t afford to lose body proteins: our muscle mass decreases, we become noticeably weaker, and our immunity is threatened because the lack of protective immunoglobulin proteins (保护性免疫球蛋白) means we are subject to an increased risk of infection.Sure, we look slimmer, and we certainly weigh less, but we are weaker and becoming unhealthy. There is no point in dieting if it’s going to make us ill. And, of course, because we need our muscles, when we are even slightly distracted from the diet, our bodies immediately rebuild muscle and we regain all of the ‘lost’ weight very quickly. Not only have we gone through a period of reduced immunity and a lack of proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and other essential nutrients, there is evidence that so-called immediately effective dieting is detrimental to health in the longer term.Quite simply, we are going to virtually eliminate all refined (精制的) carbohydrates and sugars (which are also carbohydrates), leaving us with a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet. On this diet, you will be cutting out virtually all refined carbohydrates so that body fat is burned with priority, to provide energy. Sugar, white flour, cakes, bread, pasta and rice are the usual trouble-makers. These foods have very little nutritional value and, what’s more, can cause medical and fat problems. Of course, there are forms of these carbohydrates — such as wholemeal rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pastas — that do have nutritional benefits and which you can reintroduce later, but in the initial stage of the diet, you have to reduce all carbohydrates, to switch on the fat-burning mechanism.One point to be aware of is that refined carbohydrates can appear in many unexpected sources. You probably know that bread, cakes, biscuits, potato crisps and fried potato chips all contain refined carbohydrates, but pasta, rice, most breakfast cereals, most tinned foods, many pre-packaged foods, and prepared sauces do as well… In fact the list goes on and on. Virtually all ‘fast foods’ contain very high proportion of refined carbohydrates and if your diet is high in refined carbohydrates, you will definitely put on weight. If you’re worried that by cutting out refined carbohydrates you’ll have virtually no foods left to choose from, fear not. In fact, high-protein and nutritious foods such as meat, fish, shellfish and eggs are all open to you, along with vegetables, cheese, spices and herbs, from which you can easily produce delicious, healthy and quick meals. You’ll be relieved to hear that you don’t have to live on a diet of lettuce and tomato. On the contrary, you will be eating virtually limitless quantities of very tasty food with delicious sauces and dressings: in other words, real food!12. What do you know about people following a starvation diet A. They are more likely to develop diseases.B. They run the risk of immediate health problems.C. Their fat and protein will be burnt prior to carbohydrates.D. Their appetite will be spoiled gradually.13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2 A. Damaging. B. Insignificant. C. Unpredictable. D. Constructive.14. What can you learn about the carbohydrates in a high protein diet A. They are banned although considered beneficial.B They are used as a primary source of energy.C. They can be consumed only under certain circumstances.D. Carbohydrates foster the consumption of sugary food.15. What can you do if you follow the new high protein diet A. You can become less muscular and athletic.B. You should only eat meat, fish, shellfish and eggs.C. You should monitor all the protein you take in.D. You can have and make delicious dishes.第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,有两个为多余选项。About 20 years ago, I was attending a law school while still doing my part-time job to provide my tuition.

I went to a place called Philmont and attended a summer camp. There were thirteen people including me. The entire 10-day hike we took through those mountains went well, except for the second day, because of the terrible weather.It had been a nice sunny day up until we were halfway to the camp we were staying at that night. Then without a word it started raining gently. There was nothing too bad and certainly nothing we couldn’t handle. We put our raincoats on and continued on our way. It stayed raining slightly for a while, so I decided it would be a good idea to say, “Well, it can’t be much worse than this, right ” And in less than five seconds the thunder crashed around us. It almost sounded like a laugh, as if it was laughing at us. Then the rain started to come down harder, and then, the hail (冰雹) came.Getting hit with balls of ice in the middle of the New Mexico mountains was not something I had ever thought would happen to us, but here we were. All thirteen of us were wishing at that moment that we could go home. But we quickly abandoned the idea. It was freezing, and my feet felt like they might fall off. Wet, cold, and carrying 40 pounds on our backs, we hiked on.But soon enough we got lost for about a mile because of a mistake that our “Navi-guesser” made on getting us to our destination. At the same time, one of our boys got a minor case of hypothermia (低温症). We decided to stop for a while, unpacking our tents to get into a nice warm sleeping bag. I don’t know if you know this, but unpacking camping gear (装备) in the rain was not very fun, especially setting up a tent.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。We came up with a solution._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The rain stopped just as we were about to start._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________沈阳二中24届高三寒假阶段测试(外语)注意事项:1.答题前,考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。2.每小题选出答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。3.考试结束后,请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分,考试用时120分钟。第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。1.

Birds will sometimes get into fights. Even after a bird gets a hole, it has to watch out: There’s always a chance that a passerby tries to possess it. Owners don’t have many options to wait for and stop thieves. Some police their nest’s entrance hole, but preparing for parenthood is hungry work, and eventually the birds have to leave to get food. So Slagsvold and Wiebe started to look for alternative home-defense systems the birds might be using.They noticed feathers, usually helping animals keep warm, but that doesn’t seem to be how these particular birds are using them. Blue tits, for instance, get feathers on top of the nest, rather than putting them in. Some other birds dump feathers into holes before gathering other materials. “They’re white, and often noticeable,” Wiebe said, “as if the birds want to send a message.”To find out, they built nest boxes — some feathery, some not — in Europe and America, and recorded how tits, flycatchers and swallows reacted. The birds entered feather-free boxes quickly. But they froze at the sight of white feathers, sometimes hesitating outside for an hour. Black feathers scared them less, perhaps because they were harder to see. The feathers didn’t stop the birds as most eventually went inside. But even a brief delay can make a huge difference, Wiebe said. “Even 20 minutes can give the owner enough time to circle back, and fight off their competitors.”The birds’ behavior shows their high-risk lifestyle. They have to think twice as the holes may be hiding danger. The feathers represent possible violence, showing a predator might be inside.The experiment reflects the lies animals tell where nest sites are rare. They build a scene so horrible to discourage nest stealers. Birds are terrified of death. And they can exploit that reality to safeguard what’s theirs.4. What inspired Slagsvold and Wiebe to seek birds’ other possible ways to protect homes A. Birds have to fight to get the limited holes. B. Birds get tired from watching out in nests.C. Birds face many nest stealers on their own. D. Birds leave their nests unattended sometimes.5. What is the function of white feathers outside the nests A. To show a friendly welcome. B. To help stealers avoid danger.C. To buy time for the nest owners. D. To confirm this place is occupied.6. How does the author feel about the birds’ reaction in the experiment A. Understandable. B. Confusing. C. Possible. D. Worrying.7. What’s the best title for the text A. Some birds refuse to build their nests B. It’s important for birds to have feathersC. High risks of life lead birds to turn to lies D. Birds create a false scene to protect their nests【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家们发现山雀会通过把羽毛放在巢上,来恐吓那些想要偷窃巢穴的鸟类。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段““Holes are rare, so there’s great competition,” Wiebe said. Birds will sometimes get into fights. Even after a bird gets a hole, it has to watch out: There’s always a chance that a passerby tries to possess it. Owners don’t have many options to wait for and stop thieves. Some police their nest’s entrance hole, but preparing for parenthood is hungry work, and eventually the birds have to leave to get food. So Slagsvold and Wiebe started to look for alternative home-defense systems the birds might be using.(“洞很少,所以竞争很激烈,”韦博说。鸟儿有时会打架。即使一只鸟找到了一个洞,它也必须小心:路过的鸟总有可能试图占有它。主人没有太多的选择来等待和阻止小偷。有些鸟会守在鸟巢的入口洞里,但为为人父母做准备是一项饥饿的工作,最终它们不得不离开去找食物。因此,Slagsvold和Wiebe开始寻找鸟类可能使用的替代家庭防御系统)”可知,鸟儿们必须为得到有限的洞而战斗激发了Slagsvold和Wiebe去寻找鸟类保护家园的其他可能方式。故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“But they froze at the sight of white feathers, sometimes hesitating outside for an hour.(但它们一看到白色的羽毛就僵住了,有时在外面犹豫了一个小时)”和“But even a brief delay can make a huge difference, Wiebe said. “Even 20 minutes can give the owner enough time to circle back, and fight off their competitors.”(但韦博说,即使是短暂的延迟也会产生巨大的影响。“即使是20分钟,也能让巢主有足够的时间绕回来,打败竞争对手。”)”可知,巢外的白色羽毛可以为巢主争取时间。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The birds’ behavior shows their high-risk lifestyle. They have to think twice as the holes may be hiding danger. The feathers represent possible violence, showing a predator might be inside.(这些鸟的行为显示了它们高风险的生活方式。它们必须三思而后行,因为这些洞可能隐藏着危险。羽毛代表着可能的暴力,表明里面可能有捕食者)”以及最后一段“The experiment reflects the lies animals tell where nest sites are rare. They build a scene so horrible to discourage nest stealers. Birds are terrified of death. And they can exploit that reality to safeguard what’s theirs.(这个实验反映了动物们在巢穴稀少的地方所说的谎言。它们营造了一个可怕的场景来阻止偷巢者。鸟害怕死亡。它们可以利用这个现实来保护他它们的东西)”可知,因为山雀高风险的生活方式,它们把白色羽毛丢在巢穴顶部恐吓想要偷窃巢穴的鸟类,以此保护自己的巢穴,作者认为实验中鸟儿的反应可以理解。故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The experiment reflects the lies animals tell where nest sites are rare. They build a scene so horrible to discourage nest stealers. Birds are terrified of death. And they can exploit that reality to safeguard what’s theirs.(这个实验反映了动物们在巢穴稀少的地方所说的谎言。它们营造了一个可怕的场景来阻止偷巢者。鸟害怕死亡。它们可以利用这个现实来保护它们的东西)”结合文章主要说明了科学家们发现鸟类会通过把羽毛放在巢上,来恐吓那些想要偷窃巢穴的鸟类。可知,D选项“鸟类创造一个虚假的场景来保护它们的巢穴”最符合文章标题。故选D。COn the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog,declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂视)as an unimportant dog.the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form,but he continued stealthily to follow the child.When the child reached his door-step,the dog was a few yards behind,moving slowly toward him.He became so anxious with shame when ho again faced the child that he forgot the dragging rope .

C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小狗走失后偶遇一个男孩,最终成功跟随小男孩回家的故事。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog, declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂视)as an unimportant dog. the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form, but he continued stealthily to follow the child.(在回家路上,孩子多次转过身来打那条狗,用孩子气的手势宣称他蔑视那条狗,认为它是一条不重要的狗。狗为自己是这样的动物而道歉,并以良好的形式表示遗憾,但它继续偷偷地跟着孩子。)”可知,孩子试图摆脱狗,而且他们在此之前并不认识,可见他们是无意间遇到的。从而推断,这条狗曾是别人的宠物,但迷路了。小狗是丢失后才遇到男孩的。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He performed a few playful jumps with such abandon(尽情地) that the child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing.(它尽情地跳了几下,孩子突然觉得它很有价值。)”可知,小狗努力的取悦男孩,使得男孩改变了主意。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。文章四五两段在描述男孩拖拉小狗上楼梯的过程,看得出小男孩精力充沛,一直不懈的努力着,尽管当时小狗是有点害怕的,但小男孩没有停止自己的行为,可见这个男孩子有点调皮。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。狗的心情和它的遭遇是一致的,第一段狗尽管被嫌弃但还是跟着,心情是有点罪恶感的,从apologized可以看出;第二段出现了anxious and shamed,可见狗的心情是紧张羞愧;第三段狗取悦小孩;四五段就是狗被带上楼梯的过程,从panic-stricken可以看出,狗因为未知的地方感到害怕;最后一段狗和小孩已经交好,推断出心情愉悦。故选C。DSome people hold the idea that being starving is the most effective way of losing body fat. Remember, if we go on a starvation diet, we lose weight but not much fat. In starvation mode, we use up our energy stores of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) first (in the form of a substance called glycogen). However, the body can store only a little glycogen, and this is used up within two days. Then we start breaking down fat and protein. But we can’t afford to lose body proteins: our muscle mass decreases, we become noticeably weaker, and our immunity is threatened because the lack of protective immunoglobulin proteins (保护性免疫球蛋白) means we are subject to an increased risk of infection.Sure, we look slimmer, and we certainly weigh less, but we are weaker and becoming unhealthy. There is no point in dieting if it’s going to make us ill. And, of course, because we need our muscles, when we are even slightly distracted from the diet, our bodies immediately rebuild muscle and we regain all of the ‘lost’ weight very quickly. Not only have we gone through a period of reduced immunity and a lack of proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and other essential nutrients, there is evidence that so-called immediately effective dieting is detrimental to health in the longer term.Quite simply, we are going to virtually eliminate all refined (精制的) carbohydrates and sugars (which are also carbohydrates), leaving us with a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet. On this diet, you will be cutting out virtually all refined carbohydrates so that body fat is burned with priority, to provide energy. Sugar, white flour, cakes, bread, pasta and rice are the usual trouble-makers. These foods have very little nutritional value and, what’s more, can cause medical and fat problems. Of course, there are forms of these carbohydrates — such as wholemeal rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pastas — that do have nutritional benefits and which you can reintroduce later, but in the initial stage of the diet, you have to reduce all carbohydrates, to switch on the fat-burning mechanism.One point to be aware of is that refined carbohydrates can appear in many unexpected sources. You probably know that bread, cakes, biscuits, potato crisps and fried potato chips all contain refined carbohydrates, but pasta, rice, most breakfast cereals, most tinned foods, many pre-packaged foods, and prepared sauces do as well… In fact the list goes on and on. Virtually all ‘fast foods’ contain very high proportion of refined carbohydrates and if your diet is high in refined carbohydrates, you will definitely put on weight. If you’re worried that by cutting out refined carbohydrates you’ll have virtually no foods left to choose from, fear not. In fact, high-protein and nutritious foods such as meat, fish, shellfish and eggs are all open to you, along with vegetables, cheese, spices and herbs, from which you can easily produce delicious, healthy and quick meals. You’ll be relieved to hear that you don’t have to live on a diet of lettuce and tomato. On the contrary, you will be eating virtually limitless quantities of very tasty food with delicious sauces and dressings: in other words, real food!12. What do you know about people following a starvation diet A. They are more likely to develop diseases.B. They run the risk of immediate health problems.C. Their fat and protein will be burnt prior to carbohydrates.D. Their appetite will be spoiled gradually.13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2 A. Damaging. B. Insignificant. C. Unpredictable. D. Constructive.14. What can you learn about the carbohydrates in a high protein diet A. They are banned although considered beneficial.B. They are used as a primary source of energy.C. They can be consumed only under certain circumstances.D. Carbohydrates foster the consumption of sugary food.15. What can you do if you follow the new high protein diet A. You can become less muscular and athletic.B. You should only eat meat, fish, shellfish and eggs.C. You should monitor all the protein you take in.D. You can have and make delicious dishes.【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出节食减肥法虽然能够减轻体重,但会导致肌肉流失、免疫力下降以及缺乏必要的营养素,从而使身体变得虚弱和不健康。文章建议采用低碳水化合物、高蛋白的饮食方式来实现健康减肥,指出要避免精制碳水化合物,逐渐引入全谷类食物,同时警惕精制碳水化合物隐藏在许多食物中。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“But we can’t afford to lose body proteins: our muscle mass decreases, we become noticeably weaker, and our immunity is threatened because the lack of protective immunoglobulin proteins (保护性免疫球蛋白) means we are subject to an increased risk of infection. (但是我们不能失去身体的蛋白质:我们的肌肉量减少,我们变得明显更弱,我们的免疫力受到威胁,因为缺乏保护性免疫球蛋白意味着我们受到感染的风险增加)”可知,采用节食减肥法的人免疫力会下降,更容易患病。故选A项。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Not only have we gone through a period of reduced immunity and a lack of proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and other essential nutrients (我们不仅经历了免疫力下降和缺乏蛋白质、矿物质、维生素、抗氧化剂和其他必需营养素的时期)”可知,此处介绍节食减肥法对人体带来的损害,画线词所在句是进一步介绍这种损害。由此推知,所谓立竿见影的节食从长远来看对健康是“有害的”,画线词意思应该是“有害的”,与damaging意思相近。故选A项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Of course, there are forms of these carbohydrates — such as wholemeal rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pastas — that do have nutritional benefits and which you can reintroduce later, but in the initial stage of the diet, you have to reduce all carbohydrates, to switch on the fat-burning mechanism. (当然,这些碳水化合物也有一些形式——比如全麦米饭、全麦面包和全麦面食——它们确实有营养价值,你可以稍后再引入它们,但在饮食的初始阶段,你必须减少所有的碳水化合物,以启动脂肪燃烧机制)”可知,在高蛋白饮食法中,碳水化合物只有在特定情况下才能吃,初始阶段不能吃。故选C项。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In fact, high-protein and nutritious foods such as meat, fish, shellfish and eggs are all open to you, along with vegetables, cheese, spices and herbs, from which you can easily produce delicious, healthy and quick meals. (事实上,高蛋白和营养的食物,如肉类、鱼类、贝类和鸡蛋,以及蔬菜、奶酪、香料和草药,都是向你开放的,你可以很容易地制作出美味、健康和快速的食物)”可知,如果遵循高蛋白饮食法,你可以吃并制作出美味的菜肴。故选D项。第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,有两个为多余选项。About 20 years ago, I was attending a law school while still doing my part-time job to provide my tuition.
