动目的、奖品、参与方式等信息。
21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Described by The Irish Times as “A Dragons’ Cave for writers”,
each year the Fair aims to introduce up-and-coming writers to top publishers and literary agents.
(被《爱尔兰时报》描述为“作家的龙洞”，每年的书展旨在向顶级出版商和文学代理商介绍
崭露头角的作家)”可知，书展的目的在于为作家提供平台，让他们被出版商和文学代理商认
识。故选 C项。
22．推理判断题。根据 The Prize 中“To get fully prepared for the meeting with publishers and
agents, the winners will receive a place in a workshop on “How to Promote Your Novel”, two
weeks in advance. (为了充分准备与出版商和代理商的会面，获奖者将提前两周获得参加“如
何推广你的小说”研讨会的机会)”可知，研讨会将会教获奖者推广他们的小说。由此推知，
这会帮助他们把小说精彩地呈现出来。故选 D项。
23．细节理解题。根据 How to Enter中“Applicants are required to send a summary within 300
words and up to five chapters of their novel (申请人必须提交一篇 300字以内的摘要，以及小说
五个章节以内的内容)”可知，一篇 200字的摘要符合书展的要求。故选 A项。
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者八岁时得到了怀特太太送的复写纸作为礼物，作
者对这种东西非常着迷，并从中学到了印刷、复制文字和传播思想的奥秘。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much
money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present.(她给我的工资很少，因为她没
有多少钱。然而，她答应给我一份圣诞礼物)”可知，怀特太太答应给那个女孩一份圣诞礼物
是因为她想弥补低工资。故选 D。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one
of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet.
Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her
pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!(她拿起两张白纸，从盒子里拿出一张黑布放
在它们中间。然后，她用一支硬铅笔把我的名字写在上面那张纸上。她取下那张纸和那张皇
家高级复写纸，递给我第二张纸，她的铅笔根本没碰过那张纸。上面却有我的名字！)”可知，
Carbon Paper Regal Premium可以复制写在纸上的东西。故选 D。
英语（一中）答案 （第 1 页，共 9 页）
{#{QQABYYiEgggoAIIAABhCEQUgCgMQkBCAAAoGhAAEoAAASRFABCA=}#}
26．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece
of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end.(我写啊写，把整张纸都用完了，
直到最后一张黑纸都用完了)”可知，作者一直把 Carbon Paper Regal Premium 都写完了，说
明作者对 Carbon Paper Regal Premium 着迷了。故划线句意思是“我对 Carbon Paper Regal
Premium着迷了”。故选 A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or
nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.(正是这样
的礼物和经历——通常花费很少或根本不花——改变了一个人的生活，并赋予它一种可能持
续几十年的动力)”可推知，作者想要表达的信息是：有长期效果的礼物是更好的选择。故选
B。
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北极驯鹿的眼睛会随着季节变化而改变颜色，
从而适应环境中的光线量，而且它们拥有紫外线视觉，能够在雪地中更好地发现食物和天敌，
但是人工照明的使用对驯鹿敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁，我们应当保护驯鹿免受光污染。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“During the summer months, when the days are long and the sun is
bright, reindeer’s tapetum lucidum (荧光膜), a mirror-like layer at the back of their eye, appears
golden, which helps bounce the majority of light off the eyes, effectively acting like a pair of
natural sunglasses. As winter comes, and the days become shorter and darker, the tapetum lucidum
turns blue to absorb more light, allowing reindeer to improve their night vision and see clear in
low light conditions. (在夏季的几个月里，白天变长，阳光充足，驯鹿眼睛后部的镜面状的荧
光膜呈现出金色，有助于反射眼睛上的大部分光线，有效地起到一副天然太阳镜的作用。随
着冬天的到来，白天变短变暗，荧光膜变成蓝色以吸收更多的光线，这使得驯鹿能够提高他
们的夜视能力，在弱光条件下也能看得更清楚)”可知，夏季阳光充足时驯鹿眼睛中的荧光膜
呈金色，反射大部分光线，冬季阳光减少时荧光膜呈蓝色，吸收更多的光线。由此可知，荧
光膜帮助驯鹿适应季节变化。故选 C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“This UV vision enables them to spot food and predators more
effectively in the snowy landscape. (这种紫外线视觉使它们能够在雪地里更有效地发现食物
和捕食者)”可知，紫外线视觉让驯鹿在雪天更好地定位食物和天敌。故选 D项。
30．词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“In winter, the collagen fibers become packed tighter,
causing the tapetum lucidum to mainly reflect blue light. (在冬天，胶原纤维变得更紧，导致荧
光膜主要反射蓝光)”和下文“In summer, the reindeer’s pupils return to a smaller size, which
helps reindeer reduce the amount of light entering the eye. (在夏天，驯鹿的瞳孔会变小，这有助
于驯鹿减少进入眼睛的光线量)”可知，此处描述驯鹿眼睛中荧光膜在冬季和夏季的工作机
制，夏季时瞳孔会变小，减少进入眼睛的光线量。由此推知，冬天瞳孔会变大，增加进入眼
睛的光线量，dilate意思应该是“扩大”，与 expand意思相近。故选 B项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, the increasing use of artificial lighting, especially
during the winter months, poses a potential threat to their sensitive eyes. It can make reindeer lose
their way, affecting their ability to survive in their challenging environment. So it is crucial for us
to be mindful of our use of electricity and make efforts to minimize light pollution to ensure the
英语（一中）答案 （第 2 页，共 9 页）
{#{QQABYYiEgggoAIIAABhCEQUgCgMQkBCAAAoGhAAEoAAASRFABCA=}#}
well-being and survival of these magnificent creatures. (如今，人工照明的使用越来越多，尤其
是在冬季，这对它们敏感的眼睛构成了潜在的威胁。它会使驯鹿迷失方向，影响它们在恶劣
环境中的生存能力。因此，对我们来说至关重要的是要注意我们的用电，努力减少光污染，
以确保这些出色生物的健康和生存)”可推知，本段主要说明人工照明的使用对驯鹿敏感的眼
睛构成了潜在的威胁，呼吁我们保护驯鹿免受光污染。故选 A项。
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了乐高公司放弃使用回收塑料瓶制造积木的计划，并探
讨了该公司面临的可持续发展挑战。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The toy maker makes about 4, 400 different bricks. Currently,
many of them are made using a plastic, ABS, mainly made from oil. (这家玩具制造商生产大约
4400种不同的积木。目前，它们中的许多都是用一种主要由石油制成的塑料 ABS制成的。)”
可知，乐高一直试图取代由石油制成的塑料 ABS。故选 A项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“But Lego has now discovered that after more than two years of
testing, it had found that using recycled PET didn’t reduce carbon emissions. (但乐高现在发现，
经过两年多的测试，它发现使用回收 PET并不能减少碳排放。)”可知，经过两年的测试，乐
高发现，PET未能达到预期的目标。故选 A项。
34．推理判断题。根据第一段“Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from
recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021
that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had
found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully
devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. (玩具巨头乐高(Lego)放弃了用回收瓶子
制造积木的计划，这对其减少碳排放的努力造成了打击。该公司在 2021年表示，其目标是
在两年内减少油基积木的使用。但周一的声明说，它发现使用这种新材料并没有减少碳排放。
乐高表示，该公司仍将全力致力于开发可持续的积木材料。)”可知，本文主要报道了乐高公
司的动态，所以应来自报纸的经济板块。故选 C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from
recycled bottles, in a blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions (排放). The company said in 2021
that it aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday’s statement said it had
found that using the new material didn’t reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains fully
devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks. (玩具巨头乐高(Lego)放弃了用回收瓶子
制造积木的计划，这对其减少碳排放的努力造成了打击。该公司在 2021年表示，其目标是
在两年内减少油基积木的使用。但周一的声明说，它发现使用这种新材料并没有减少碳排放。
乐高表示，该公司仍将全力致力于开发可持续的积木材料。)”纵观可知，本文介绍了乐高公
司放弃使用回收塑料瓶制造积木的计划，并探讨了该公司面临的可持续发展挑战，所以 D
项“Lego: Firm Green Goal Despite failure (乐高：尽管失败，但坚定的绿色目标)”是本文最好
的标题。故选 D项。
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“独立”的重要性进行论述，阐述了独立对于个人
成长和成功的重要性。
36．根据空前“The ability to be independent is something not everyone possesses.(独立的能力不
英语（一中）答案 （第 3 页，共 9 页）
{#{QQABYYiEgggoAIIAABhCEQUgCgMQkBCAAAoGhAAEoAAASRFABCA=}#}
是每个人都具备的。)”可知，不是每个人都具备独立的能力。而空后“And learning to support
yourself is fundamental for any success you ever hope to achieve.(学习支持自己是你想要获得
成功的基础。)”可知，独立是成功的基础。选项 E“However, you need to be independent in order
to survive in the world.(然而，为了在这个世界上生存，你需要独立。)”承上启下，与上文存
在转折关系，指的是虽然不是每个人都具备独立的能力，但是我们必须独立才能生存，同时
引出下文，指出我们应该学会独立。故选 E。
37．根据空前“People rely on others far more than it is necessary. People put their happiness in the
hands of a significant person, thinking this will bring them satisfaction.(人们对别人的依赖远远
超过了必要的程度。人们把自己的幸福交到重要的人手里，以为这会给他们带来满足。)”可
知，人们总是过度依赖别人。而根据下文“Should you always be dependent on someone
else Of course not.(你应该一直依赖别人吗？当然不是。)”可判断，总是依赖他人是不对的。
选项 B“This is a serious error too many people make these days.(这是现在很多人犯的严重错
误。)”是上文内容的总结，指出人们总是过度依赖他人，这是错误的。故选 B。
38．根据空前内容“Should you always be dependent on someone else Of course not.(你应该一
直依赖别人吗？当然不是。)”可知，我们不应该总是依赖别人。选项 G“Not only are you
limiting yourself, you are also likely to become a burden to this person.(你不仅限制了自己，还可
能成为对方的负担。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是如果我们总是依赖别人，我们不但限
制了自己还可能成为对方的负担。故选 G。
39．根据空前内容“However, there is no reason to base your life decisions on relationships with
people. All relationships end at some point or another.(然而，没有理由把你的人生决定建立在与
人的关系上。所有的关系都有结束的时候。)”可知，所有的关系都有结束的时候；而根据下
文“The only thing you can do is alter your understanding of relationships.(你唯一能做的就是改
变你对人际关系的理解。)”可知，对于“所有的关系都有结束的时候”这件事，我们是无法改
变的。选项 A“There is nothing you can do to change or affect that.(你无法改变或影响这一点。)”
承上启下，承接上文说明我们无法改变这一点，引出下文，我们只有改变自己对人际关系的
理解。故选 A。
40．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Don’ t ask for advice , do what you want
and learn from your own mistakes. Many people are afraid to think for themselves because that
involves taking responsibility for their own lives. This is just one way people become dependent.
We are born alone and we die alone, so we each have to take responsibility for our lives at every
step along the way.(不要寻求建议，做你想做的，从自己的错误中吸取教训。许多人害怕独立
思考，因为这涉及到为自己的生活负责。这只是人们变得依赖的一种方式。我们孤独地出生，
孤独地死去，所以我们每个人都必须为自己生命中的每一步负责。)”可知，在本段中，作者
建议我们做自己想做的，为自己的每一步负责。选项 C“Make decisions by and for yourself,
whatever they may be.(自己做决定，不管决定是什么。)”与本段内容相符，指出对于自己的
人生，我们应该做出自己的决定。故选 C。

第一节
Leave-No-Trace Camping
Dear all,
In recent years, camping has become increasingly popular as a recreational activity. However,
it has brought about various environmental and safety issues.
Improper disposal of trash pollutes the environment and harms wildlife. Additionally,
campfires that are not properly extinguished can lead to wildfires and devastate ecosystems.
To address these problems and promote environmental conservation, I propose the following
initiatives. Firstly, let’s make a conscious effort to pack out everything we bring in and properly
dispose of garbage in waste bins. Secondly, to be cautious, ensuring campfires completely
extinguished before leaving the site. In addition, you’re merciful to avoid disturbing animals’
habitats, and stay on appointed trails to minimize any potential damage to fragile vegetation.
Let us join hands in preserving environment while enjoying ourselves outdoors.

第二节
An hour later; Ian arrived with a loaded truck. Hardly had Ian arrived when we began to
unload from the truck, which was filled with plenty of sand, palm trees, beach toys, torches, and
other necessities for the party. I was overwhelmed with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. We
made an effort to set everything up in the yard, small signs hanging. Small as the beach was,
Helen couldn’t contain her joy and excitement. With all the things arranged well, the guests
arrived.
Children could not wait to play on the sand. Not only did they build their sand castles, but
they also lit torches and enjoyed the company of the campfire. With the dog barking happily, the
children heartily laughed and played on the “beach” around the campfire. When the birthday cake
was ready, all the friends sang songs together to express their blessings to Helen. The birthday girl
was in high spirits. It was the “beach” built with so much love that made her blessed with an
unforgettable birthday.

channel

support me. They felt that journalism was a risky field to be in, though they are well-paid and do a
lot of traveling.

our quest to find the truth. But the satisfaction we get is huge. Actually, that’s what keeps us in this

travel
W: After I left university I spent a year as an English teacher in Spain, followed by six months as a
tour guide in Italy. When I returned to England, the company World Travel needed an assistant,
because the manager’s assistant left after being with the company for twelve months. I was
promoted to a manager position four months after joining. And I did manage to go to the
company’s head office in Australia last year.
M: Good for you! What does the job involve
W: Well, we get requests from journalists who often ring us to see if we can help. So I’m mainly
in charge of that. I sometimes give talks to people in the travel industry.

course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isn’t it
W: Yes. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period. We did
think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as there’re some schools
which finish term a week earlier. In fact, two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we
decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, as I understand, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of people interested in the course. We
didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children. Besides, there was such a lot
of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year
W: Well, once again there’ll be artists and musicians who will lead creative classes. We also
considered providing some more exciting adventure sports. But we decided not to, in the end.
Instead we’re introducing some fun programs. I think it’ll be good fun for children.
Text 10
W: Mr. Day was on holiday. He was staying in a small town famous for blankets. One sunny
morning he went to the market, and saw a beautiful blanket there. It was big and full of rich colors.
He looked at it for a long time, and then went away. The next day he asked about the price.
“This one, Sir This is a very special blanket,” said the woman.
“Yes, but how much is it ”
“It’s a special one, Sir, so it is not cheap. It’s beautiful, isn’t it ”
“Yes, it is very beautiful but…”
“It is also very old. It belonged to a great man many years ago. So I can’t sell it cheap.”
“No. How much is it ” Mr. Day asked again.
“A beautiful old blanket, Sir, and also a magic one. A magic flying blanket. A man came this
morning and offered me five hundred pounds for it.”
“Oh,” said Mr. Day.
“But I like you, Sir. You look like a very nice gentleman. I will sell it to you. Five hundred
and fifty pounds.”
“Hmm,” Mr. Day thought for a moment, “All right.”
“Very good, Sir,” said the woman. “Will you pay now and take it with you ”
“No,” said Mr. Day. “Here is my address. Fly over on the blanket. I’ll pay you when you
arrive.”
