Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take“ green” designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’ re reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York, or Rome.Ⅰ 选择题第一部分 听力(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)1~5 CABCB 6~10 ABCAB 11~15 CCBAA 16~20 BCBBA第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50 分)第一节 (共15个小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)21~23 CBD 24~27 BABD 28~31 CDBA 32~35 CDBD第二节 (共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)36~40 BCDFE第三部分 语言运用(共两小节，满分30 分)第一节：完形填空(共15个小题；每小题1分，满分15分)41~45 BBCAB 46~50 ACCBD 51~55 DCBBAⅡ 非选择题部分第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)语法填空 56. a 57. traditionally 58. showing 59. retired 60. includes61. on 62. which 63. unforgettable 64. and 65. musicians答案详解答案:C考点：细节信息理解分析:第21题询问的是展览 The Natural Center 的目的。从一、二段可知 Aaron Delehanty通过该展览想要探索的是人与自然的和谐主题。22.答案B考点：细节信息理解分析：第22题询问的是参观展览时可以做什么，这考查考生对文本中具体细节信息的理解能力。考生需要从第三、四段找到关于展览活动的具体描述，并从选项中选择与文中描述相符的答案。23.答案:D考点：推理判断与文章出处分析：第23题要求考生根据文章内容推断它可能出现在杂志的哪个部分。这不仅考查考生对文章内容的理解，还考查他们根据文章主题和内容进行逻辑推理的能力，以及对不同杂志版块主题的判断。24.答案:B考点:推理判断解析:文中提到“ she started to glimpse a future for herself. .. her social worker suggested she should try a sport.”这表明是社会工作者的建议激发了她尝试轮椅篮球的想法。25.答案:A考点：推理判断解析:文中提到“ she couldn’t make it past the doors... ‘I can’t do this,’ she says.”显示了她内心的挣扎。26.答案:B考点：推理判断解析:文中描述“ We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes，...”这反映了团队给她的感觉像一个快乐的家庭。27.答案:D考点：推理判断解析:文末提到“I feel so independent. ..

Her eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly nodded, a spark of interest igniting in her gaze.“ Alright, let's do it. I' ve always wanted to try something new, but never had the time,” she admitted. We scoured the kitchen, pulling out ingredients that we had never combined before. As we chopped, mixed, and fried, we laughed and shared stories, creating a bond over our shared endeavor. Despite the occasional mishap, like a bit too much garlic or a slightly burnt crumb topping, we were having fun. This was more than just cooking; it was a culinary adventure that brought us closer together.The day of the competition arrived, and the kitchen classroom was filled with activity. Students were bustling around, their faces a mix of concentration and nervous energy. The air was thick with the scents of various dishes being prepared. When the judges announced the ingredients for our dishes, my heart raced. I had practiced, but this was the real test. I combined the ingredients with creativity, turning them into a dish that represented my growth as a cook. As the competition ended and the results were announced, I didn't win first place, but I didn't feel disappointed. I had learned something far more valuable— how to create, adapt, and enjoy the process of cooking with someone I love. My mom and I exchanged a proud smile; we had won a new recipe and the confidence to keep exploring the world of flavors.评分原则：1.本题总分为25分，按五个档次进行评分。2.评分时，应主要从内容、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为：(1)创造内容的质量，续写的完整性以及与原文情境的融洽度。(2)使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。(3)上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。3.评分时，先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。4.评分时还应注意:(1)词数少于120个的，酌情扣分。(2)单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。(3)书写较差以致影响交际的，酌情扣分。二、各档次的给分范围和要求第五档(21—25分)——创造了丰富、合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境融洽度高。——使用了多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有个别小错，但完全不影响理解。——有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义连贯。第四档(16—20分)——创造了比较丰富、合理的内容，比较有逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文情境融洽度较高。——使用了比较多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有些许错误，但不影响理解。——比较有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。第三档(11—15分)——创造了基本合理的内容，有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情境相关。——使用了简单的词汇和语法结构，有一些错误或不恰当之处，但基本不影响理解。——基本有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯。第二档(6—10分)——内容或逻辑上有一些重大问题，续写不够完整，与原文情境有一定程度脱节。——所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误较多，影响理解。——未能有效地使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义不够连贯。第一档(1—5分)——内容或逻辑上有较多重大问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整，与原文情境基本脱节。——所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误很多，严重影响理解。——几乎没有使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。未作答；所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法评判；所写内容全部抄自原文或与题目要求完全不相关。绝密★启用前浙江强基联盟2024年8月高三联考英语试题命题单位：浙江强基联盟研究院2024年8月注意事项:1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分)做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。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.

How do we reconcile(使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world.The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library's Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines(交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet.The most prominently placed piece is the waterco lor series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon Series features image ry from John James Audubon's famous Birds of America watercolor painting series. The exhibit also houses four sculpted cranes, each frozen in a unique pose.The Natural Center will be on display through Friday, Feb. 17 in the Frontispace Gallery, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library at the Art and Music Library entrance.21. What does Aaron Delehanty intend to do through The Natural Center A. To praise humans as animals. B. To challenge the natural world.C. To integrate mankind into nature. D.

In which section of the magazine may the text appear A. Gardening. B. Health. C. Wildlife. D. Art.BChin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate.“ At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn't even use a wheelchair,” she says.“I realised that I wouldn't be able to go back to my old life.”Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn't want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy(疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport.“ She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says.The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65- year- old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn't make it past the doors.“I looked through the window and just thought:‘I can’t do this,’” she says.“ The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it's changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.”Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair.“ We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs.“I'm the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn't come into it— it's such a pleasure.”“I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says.“I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there's opportunity out there— they don't have to be alone.”24. Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team A.

Census data in1993, just about three- quarters of single family homes in the Midwest had air conditioning. In the West and Northeast, it was just about half. Now, all regions are pushing 100 percent air conditioning coverage. In the South, it's been at about 100 percent since the early 1990s.As the cost of air conditioning installation has gone down, and temperatures have gone up, Americans have been offered an opportunity for a steady indoor temperature year- round, regardless of the weather outside. This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what's happening all around us. A conditioned climate allows us to completely ignore the changing seasons and our warming planet. Only listening to people who agree with us—— or trying to silence those who disagree— creates our own, individually conditioned realities.New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences“ atomize” our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt's big focus is on smartphones and social media, as ex plored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets.Cars allowed us to shop in other towns, reducing reliance on local businesses. A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors, and by extension, eroding community structures and institutions( often called“ third places,” in contrast to work and home). Air conditioning allowed us to stay inside in the heat, limiting a play- based childhood where kids run around with each other and make their own fun.What if we all turned off the air condition ing for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected.28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs A. Air conditioning easily shapes our individual personality.B. Air conditioned houses are more comfortable than others.C. Air conditioning can reduce our connection with the world.D. Air conditioning is accessible to every household in the US.29. Why does the author mention Haidt A. To promote his recent book. B. To illustrate technological advances.C. To praise human self- reliance. D. To reveal the harm of air conditioning.30. What does the word“ eroding” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to A. Constructing. B. Destroying,C. Avoiding. D. Improving.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text A. Turn off Air Conditioning for a Bit B. Experience Your Life to the FullestC. Keep Away from Air Conditioned Houses D. Never Create Our Own Conditioned RealitiesDMountain chickadees(山雀) have some of the strongest spa cial memories in the animal kingdom. New research reveals the genes involved and sheds light on how a changing climate may influence the evolution of this particular skill.In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nevada, Reno identify nearly a hundred genes associated with the birds’ special memory, or ability to recall the locations of objects. The paper also suggests a potential balance may exist between having a solid long- term memory and being able to quickly remove old memories to form new ones.Taylor, the director of CU Boulder's Mountain Research Station and his associates at the University of Nevada, Reno, lead by biologist professor Vladimir Pravosudov, designed a novel technique to assess the spa cial memory of wild mountain chickadees. They hung various feeder groups in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, each with eight seed- filled bird feeders. Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers. The scientists then configured(设定) each gate to only open to specific birds, forcing the chickadees to remember which feeders would open to them. Pravosudo v and his team then counted how many times each chickadee landed on the wrong feeders before they recalled the right one.Using blood samples, the CU Boulder team sequenced(测定序列) the whole genome of 162tagged chickadees, resulting in the largest database t ever collected for examining the genetic basis of chickade e cognitive ability. The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee special learning and memory by comparing the birds' genomes to their performance on the feeder test.The findings could help biologists better understand the evolution of spa cial memory in animals, including humans.“ Chickadees are impressive birds,” said Scott Taylor.“ They can remember tens of thousands of locations where they store food across an entire winter and a new set of those the next winter. Their special memory is much more developed than many other birds that don't have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.”32. What do we know about mountain chickadees' spa cial memories A. They are linked with a hundred relevant genes. B. They maintain a good balance in locating objects.C. They are considered powerful in the animal world. D. They might account for the slow change of climate.33. What can a radio frequency reader do in the test A. Lower the error rate of the chickadees. B. Count the times each chickadee failed.C. Colle ct the food information of a feeder. D. Identify the chickadee landing on a feeder.34. What does paragraph 4 focus on about the study A. Blood sampling. B. Genes involved.C. Ability comparing. D. Data gathered.35. What does Scott Taylor imply in the last paragraph A. Chickadees possess amazing evolutionary capability.B. Many other birds should improve their spa cial memory.C. Food storage is vital to the survival of animals in winter.D. Chickadees' spa cial memory carries them through winter.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or uninterested in life lately 36 There are some effective ways to deal with these feelings and regain control over your life. 37If you' re feeling lost, the first step to regaining direction is to admit your feelings to yourself.

That was all. She kept all seven recipes labeled with a day of the week. That day was Meatloaf Monday. Again.“ It's just, it had been Tun a Tuesdays and Spaghetti Saturdays for, like, my entire life. Not every meal had to start with the same letter as a day of the week.”My mom's eyes flashed. But she said nothing. I knew she didn't consider learning new recipes due to her overwhelming stress.The next day I was sitting next to Tania, whose dad was the best cook, in our school's brand- new- since- six- months- ago kitchen classroom. Everything— the tables, the stove, the pots and pans—— sh one and sparkled. I was about to ask Tania about a new recipe, but Mr. Bruin, our teacher, interrupted.“I’ ve got exciting news,” he said. Exciting news The class stopped talking and looked expectantly at Mr. Bruin.“ To finish off our unit on kitchen skills, we were having a competition where you didn't have a recipe and you had to make something with whatever ingredients the judges gave you.” An eager murmur traveled through the class.“ You’ ve learned a lot this term— accurate measuring, food prep, cooking techniques. Just add some creativity to the mix.”“ Will there be prizes ” asked Samantha.“ Absolutely! And the first- place prize was the newest book in the Cave of the Dragons series,” said Mr. Bruin, holding up a copy for everyone to see.The class erupted into squeals and cheers. Cave of the Dragons was the best book series ever! It had been sold out everywhere. During the break, all anyone could talk about was the cooking competition .“I'm totally going to win,” said Tania.“ Genes, like, cooking was in my DNA.” And if there was some sort of cooking gene, my mom definitely didn't have it.
