M: OK, OK…What did you tell us before Something about pretending that the crowd is cabbage Ha-ha! I’ve never forgotten that little bit of advice! Maybe it’ll work tonight…
W: I don’t remember saying that. You must have heard it from a movie. I’m not even sure it can make you less afraid. What I said was that close your eyes for 10 seconds and think about your character. It will help you be calm.
M: Well, I’m going to try the advice from the movie. It will make me laugh, and my character is supposed to be very funny.
W: Do anything that helps. We need to impress the judges that are sitting out there!

W: It’s a little cold today. But we can see the most beautiful view up here. Hey, what’s that mountain to the left called
M: That’s Mount Karen. And to the right of that with the three small points is Mount Brown.
W: Is this the highest mountain in this area
M: No, actually, Mount Heather, which we will be able to see in just a minute or so, is the highest. But, this is the highest mountain for the most popular activity skiing.
W: Can you ski throughout the year
M: No, it may make you sunburned up there in the summer. So if you want to be up here in other seasons, you’d better choose a cool spring or autumn day. Oh, look, there are two deer feeding in the clearing right below us.
W: Got it. That should be a great photo. So…what is there to do besides skiing at the top of the hill at this time of year
M: Oh there’s plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile tours, and a petting zoo for children. If you look to your left you’ll see the snowmobile sign going through the mountain.

W: Good afternoon and welcome to Seattle Houseboat Tours. My name’s Elizabeth Jones and I’m your guide today. This is my houseboat Moonlight. Before we go on board, I’d like to give you a little background information. Seattle has one of the largest numbers of houseboats in the US—about 500 of them in fact. That’s quite a high number and shows how popular houseboat living is here. We’re at the southern end of Lake Union right now. As you have probably seen already, this is a lively area with restaurants, shops and cafes. During our one-hour tour you’ll see a number of houseboats. People can pay millions of dollars for the biggest of these. Some of them are quite amazing and have two or three floors. My own is one of the smallest boats, but I still have plenty of room, as you’ll see when I show you around. My living area includes one bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have electricity, running water and network, so I really do have everything I need. You may be interested to know that I’m writing a book on the history of houseboats in the city, and this should be on sale from early July. Well, thank you for listening so far. Now let’s move into the boat and start the tour.

22.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When the clocks hit midnight in Spain, you’ll find people reaching for grapes. This is because there is a tradition of eating grapes each time the clock strikes midnight.”可知,当新年钟声在午夜敲响时,西班牙人会吃葡萄。故选B。

25.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“We didn’t have fun in our family. Fun was something we might have known about once, which, however, seemed foreign to us now.”可知,当妈妈说会很有趣时,孩子们一开始是感到困惑的。故选C项。
26.A　词义猜测题。画线短语前文“Mother started the car, saying ‘I thought we’d go to look at all the houses we’ve lived in.’”和后文“Gradually, going for a ride in my mother’s car became a regular thing.”说明妈妈经常开车带作者他们出去兜风,而那天是第一次开车带作者出去,从而推知画线短语的意思是“开始”。故选A项。

29.A　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“‘I love spending time at the knee of these elders,’ Lee said. ‘I am very lucky. I catch an end of an era.’”可知,这些话语表达了他对于能够接触和保护这些传统音乐的感激和欣喜,由此可以推断他很高兴能保护有价值的音乐传统。故选A。

31.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is a common request for the songs and stories to be recorded and shared as the old ways are not being passed on and this huge store of knowledge of an ancient way of life is forgotten.”可知SCC的工作的必要性。根据第一段第二句“Their project aims to put the elders of a nearly-past generation in front of a microphone, to protect their songs and stories for musicians to hear and study for all time.”可知,他们致力于拯救和保存那些即将消失的传统歌曲和故事,所以SCC的工作很有意义。故选C。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着人工智能技术的进步,以及机器人性能的提高,机器人导盲犬的实现成为可能。机器人导盲犬可以帮助残疾人拓宽视野,让他们感觉更融入社会。而快速互联、低延迟和广泛覆盖的5G网络对此是至关重要的。因此因为技术受限,现在的机器人导盲犬还没有大规模制造。
32.D　段落大意题。第二段“The first guide dogs were used in 1916, and many countries have a rich culture of working with man’s best friend to help the visually impaired. The cost of specialist training to produce such a reliable animal can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of US dollars. Dogs also have physical limitations, for example being colour-blind, causing allergies or sadly having a limited lifespan.”讲述了培养导盲犬的花费大,而且导盲犬自身也有缺陷。因此本段主要讲述了使用狗作为导盲犬的不利条件。故选D。
33.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Laser ranging systems recreate a virtual map of the robot’s surroundings and enable it to guide itself and the person through an environment with ease, even in narrow spaces.”可知,通过使用激光测距系统重建的虚拟地图,机器人导盲犬可以轻松地引导自己和人通过一个环境。故选D。
34.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“As AI improves, along with the performance of robots, the dream may be realizable. Coding can be directly copied and put into mass-produced units, with hardware also becoming cheaper by the year. Robotic guide dogs of the future will need to calculate routes in real time, accounting for many factors such as traffic density (密度), weather conditions and pedestrian footfall. Fast interconnected 5G networks with low latency and widespread coverage will be vital for this.”可知,要使得机器人导盲犬在现实中使用,快速互联、低延迟和广泛覆盖的5G网络是至关重要的。故选B。
35.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“As AI improves, along with the performance of robots, the dream may be realizable. Coding can be directly copied and put into mass-produced units, with hardware also becoming cheaper by the year. Robotic guide dogs of the future will need to calculate routes in real time, accounting for many factors such as traffic density (密度), weather conditions and pedestrian footfall. Fast interconnected 5G networks with low latency and widespread coverage will be vital for this.”可知,伴随着人工智能技术的进步、机器人性能的提高和批量生产技术的进步,机器人导盲犬的实现是可能的。而快速互联、低延迟和广泛覆盖的5G网络是至关重要的。由此可推知,因为技术受限,现在的机器人导盲犬还没有大规模制造。故选A。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章对火山的形成、喷发强度的决定因素、火山喷发的危害和好处等进行了介绍。
36.C　根据前文“Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a build-up of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.”可知,选项C中的the same way就是指苏打水从瓶子里喷出来的方式。根据后文“Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force.”可知,火山爆发的方式和前文中提到的相同。所以选项C“火山爆发的作用方式大致相同。”切合文意。故选C。
37.E　根据前文“The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness.”可知,此处是讲决定喷发的强度的几个因素,并且前文中已经出现两个,所以选项E“被困在里面的气体量也是一个重要因素。”是讲第三个因素,切合文意。故选E。
38.A　根据后文“The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.”可知,此处是讲火山喷发也会创造新的土地,对应选项A中的“…they can also create new land.”,又和前文“Volcanoes can be destructive.”构成转折关系,对应选项A中的转折词however。所以选项A切合文意。故选A。
39.G　根据后文“Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.”可知,此处是讲火山对地球起到了重要作用,所以选项G“火山在塑造地球方面起了重要作用。”切合文意。故选G。
40.D　根据后文“Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.”和前文“In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced.”可知,此处是指利用火山发电,所以选项D“科学家们正在利用火山为城市供电。”切合文意。故选D。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。本文简要介绍了八段锦的历史,并对其最近在网络平台悄然走红的现象做了简要说明。

57.an　考查冠词。单数可数名词前需使用不定冠词,表示“一个”,因空白处后面的词的第一个发音音素为元音音素,故填an。
58.targeting　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中作后置定语,且与其逻辑主语platform之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,使用现在分词,故填targeting。
59.originally　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中作状语,修饰谓语动词,使用副词,故填originally。
60.refers　考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中作谓语,因句子表达的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,因主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式,故填refers。
61.by　考查介词。分析句子结构可知,be accompanied by为固定短语,含义为“伴随着……”,符合句意,故填by。
62.so　考查连词。根据上文“…baduanjin is slow and usually accompanied…soft music…”以及下文“…it used to be considered as the exclusive sport for the elders.”可知上下文之间为因果关系,空白处应填表示因果关系的连词,故填so。
63.it　考查代词。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中代替上文的单数名词baduanjin,使用代词it,故填it。
64.healthier　考查形容词的比较级。根据上文“I have been doing baduanjin for about four months, which makes me sleep better and get stronger.”可知上下文要对生活方式进行比较,空白处应填形容词的比较级,空格前的much的作用是修饰比较级。故填healthier。
65.safety　考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词,故填safety。
第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
Dear John,
I’m delighted to receive your letter, in which you expressed eagerness for some information about the Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Campaign held in our school. I’m glad to share it with you.
As scheduled, the activity took place last Friday. First, all the teachers and students attended a lecture to get a good knowledge of the earthquake. During the lecture, the lecturer impressed on us the damage an earthquake can cause and how to protect ourselves when an earthquake happens through videos and pictures. After that, an earthquake prevention drill was conducted.
I’ve learned a lot from this activity. It is of great significance for us to master some self-help measures.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead ” He dug for hours and hours. His hands were mushy and he could only see well in flashes. Right before he was about to pass out, he pulled back a large rounded rock and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “Daniel!” A response came from below, “Dad It’s me, dad!” This must be the most beautiful voice he’s ever heard in his whole life! “What’s going on in there How is it ” the father asked anxiously.
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, dad,” Daniel replied. “We’re scared, hungry, and thirsty. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and saved us.” The father realized that this was a tricky situation. He couldn’t risk causing another collapse down there. Fortunately, the firefighters were just nearby. The father shouted to the fire chief and signalled to them to come over. Then, the father helped the firefighters cautiously remove the rocks and pull out the kids one by one. When everyone was safe and sound, Daniel threw himself into his father’s arms: “You did it, dad! No matter what, I know you’ll be there for me!”
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一座城市发生了7.8级地震,地震几乎把这座城市夷为平地。在一片混乱中,一位父亲冲去学校救自己的儿子,因为他曾向儿子承诺“无论发生什么,他都会永远在儿子身边”。学校已经成为一片废墟,但他仍然不停地在废墟中寻找,好心的家长和消防队员试图劝他停止寻找,但他仍不放弃。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他勇敢地独自挖掘,因为他自己需要知道:‘我的孩子是活着还是死了 ’”可知,第一段可描写这位父亲寻找儿子的过程及他是否找到了儿子。
②由第二段首句内容“‘我很好。爸爸,下面还有13个孩子,’丹尼尔回答。”可知,第二段可描写儿子获救及获救后父子二人的互动。
2.续写线索:继续寻找—听到儿子的声音—询问儿子的处境—还有13个孩子—儿子获救—父子互动单元素养测评卷(六)

A [2024·河北省沧衡学校联盟高一期中]
Different countries celebrate festivals in their own unique ways. The same goes for the New Year. Let’s take a look at some unique New Year traditions from around the world.
Smashing (打碎) plates
If you walked out of your front door to find a load of smashed plates, you might be a bit confused. But that’s exactly what people in Denmark hope to find after midnight, as it represents good luck. Danish people go and smash a plate in front of a friend’s door on New Year’s Eve to bring good luck over the next 12 months.
Dropping things
In New York City, Times Square is the centre of the countdown to midnight. But the thing that everyone is looking forward to is called the “ball drop”, which is when a glowing (发光的) ball is lowered down a big flag pole (旗杆), marking the start of the New Year. Other cities in America now have their own traditions of dropping things on New Year’s Eve. For example, in Vincennes, Indiana, people drop watermelons from high places.
Eating grapes
When the clocks hit midnight in Spain, you’ll find people reaching for grapes. This is because there is a tradition of eating grapes each time the clock strikes midnight. The idea is that this will bring people 12 lucky months in the year ahead.
Walking with an empty suitcase
In some South American countries like Colombia, you might see some people on New Year’s Eve walking around with an empty suitcase. Some hold the belief that taking a “suitcase walk” means they will have a year full of adventures.
(　)21.Why do Danish people smash plates on New Year’s Eve
A.To have fun. 　　　　　B.To honour a poet.
C.To celebrate the harvest. D.To bring good luck.
(　)22.What do the Spanish do when the clocks hit midnight on New Year’s Eve
A.They exchange gifts.
B.They eat grapes.
C.They dress up as bears.
D.They drop balls from high places.
(　)23.Which country has the tradition of carrying empty suitcases on New Year’s Eve
A.Denmark. B.The USA.
C.Colombia. D.Spain.
B [2024·广东河源部分学校高一期中]
One night, our house burned down. As a single mother with four kids, she cried bitterly. We had to move into the Ramada Inn, where my mother worked. This was the room where putting one foot in front of the next felt impossible. After four months of not having any of our own air to breathe, we were on the edge of just giving up.
One day Mother stood up, looking crazy. “Let’s go for a ride.” We looked at one another cautiously, not sure if we had heard right. “Come on,” she urged. “It’ll be fun.” We didn’t have fun in our family. Fun was something we might have known about once, which, however, seemed foreign to us now. Still, we piled into our 1972 blue Ford Torino, a blue so faded as to appear almost white. Mother started the car, saying “I thought we’d go to look at all the houses we’ve lived in.”
Embarking on rides that night was my first. Gradually, going for a ride in my mother’s car became a regular thing. Every night we piled into the car and the world changed. We even sang You Are My Sunshine and a million other songs. The hope we seemed to have lost in the rest of our life was real again in the car as we sang. One night as we were singing loudly, “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines and you shiver when the cold wind blows…”, Mother suddenly stopped the car. “This is it!” she cried.
“This” was a house, and a for-rent sign in the front yard brought me more joy than I could believe. “Really ” I asked in a low voice. My mother was excited and we all went to look. We might have a house again. That night, I realized my mother was like us. The following weekend, we moved in. The nights in the car were over. Better off, we had new jobs and activities now. One summer in the Torino had saved us. We had lost our home, but my mother had found a way to bring us together and keep us that way.

A small group of brave and curious young Irish musicians have taken it upon themselves to save a tradition of songs. Their project aims to put the elders of a nearly-past generation in front of a microphone, to protect their songs and stories for musicians to hear and study for all time.
Some experts often pass warnings about how much oral tradition the human race loses to modernity every year. In Ireland, a country famous for its singers, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) celebrates that history by honouring the people who have kept its roots alive. Most of them are from the reclusive (隐居的) traveller communities. Rather than simply collecting words, each song can be accessed only by exploring the life and story of the person who sang it for the SCC, or the so-called “Tradition Bearer”.
Take Freda Black, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties, for example. She kept so many songs that she admitted she couldn’t possibly count them. She would go on to feature in the recently released album by a modern folk singer and SCC member, Sam Lee. “I love spending time at the knee of these elders,” Lee said. “I am very lucky. I catch an end of an era.”
“It is a common request for the songs and stories to be recorded and shared as the old ways are not being passed on and this huge store of knowledge of an ancient way of life is forgotten. In the current era of accessible recording technology, there is no excuse for not documenting and sharing this rich but fragile (脆弱的) tradition,” wrote the SCC. Having collected hundreds of recordings from dozens of singers, the SCC is beginning to host educational events, sharing the stories and singing voices for those interested in hearing them, as well as how people can become collectors in their own way.
(　)28.How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs
A.By spreading their new music styles.
B.By recording old folk songs and related stories.
C.By teaching young people to learn traditional songs.
D.By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians.
(　)29.What can we infer from Sam Lee’s words
A.He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music.
B.His latest album carries the memory of his grandma.
C.He is lucky to have got some help in learning music.
D.His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black.
(　)30.What further promotes the SCC’s protection of the oral tradition
A.Market demand.
B.The support of famous musicians.
C.High praise from the elderly.
D.Technological progress.
(　)31.Which of the following can best describe the SCC’s work
A.Effective and interesting.
B.Successful but confusing.
C.Necessary and meaningful.
D.Professional but dangerous.

About 17 million blind and visually impaired (视力受损的) people live in China, according to a 2018 report. The nation does not have the same history of using guide dogs as exists in other countries.
The first guide dogs were used in 1916, and many countries have a rich culture of working with man’s best friend to help the visually impaired. The cost of specialist training to produce such a reliable animal can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of US dollars. Dogs also have physical limitations, for example being colour-blind, causing allergies or sadly having a limited lifespan.
This month, a team led by Zhongyu Li, at the University of California, Berkeley, revealed a modern prototype (原型). The new four-legged model is designed to guide people with a lead, and is able to find the right way to avoid obstacles. Laser ranging systems recreate a virtual map of the robot’s surroundings and enable it to guide itself and the person through an environment with ease, even in narrow spaces.
The type of coding needed for the robot to understand its relative position in space, and to account for dangers in a changeable environment, will not be easy or cheap to make it available to the public, especially in a population as large as China.
It may still be far-fetched to imagine robots walking through the busy streets. As AI improves, along with the performance of robots, the dream may be realizable. Coding can be directly copied and put into mass-produced units, with hardware also becoming cheaper by the year. Robotic guide dogs of the future will need to calculate routes in real time, accounting for many factors such as traffic density (密度), weather conditions and pedestrian footfall. Fast interconnected 5G networks with low latency and widespread coverage will be vital for this.
The blind and visually impaired are a significant minority of the population, and for many the chance to lead an independent and normal life is often as a stepping stone to greater contributions within China’s economy. Robotics can expand horizons for disabled people and allow them to feel more included in society.
(　)32.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.How the first guide dogs came into being.
B.The necessity to train real-life guide dogs.
C.How guide dogs help the visually impaired.
D.The disadvantages of using real-life guide dogs.
(　)33.What’s the function of the virtual map of the robot’s surroundings
A.To track the robot’s movement.
B.To make the robot’s service life longer.
C.To keep weather conditions informed.
D.To help the robot lead the way successfully.
(　)34.What is important for the application of robotic guide dogs according to the text
A.Good road conditions.
B.Fast 5G networks.
C.Full support from the blind.
D.A virtual map of surroundings.
(　)35.What can be inferred about robotic guide dogs from the text
A.They have yet to be mass-produced.
B.They will surely replace real-life guide dogs.
C.They are equipped with expensive hardware.
D.They stand for a stepping stone to vision recovery.

Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a build-up of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
36.　　　　 Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth’s surface, it’s called lava (熔岩).
Some volcanic eruptions are explosive. Lava shoots into the sky. Gas and hot pieces of rock and ash are also released. The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness. 37.　　　　
Volcanic eruptions can cause other natural disasters. These include landslides, mudslides, earthquakes and tsunamis. Volcanoes can be destructive. 38.　　　　 The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.
39.　　　　 Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.
In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced. 40.　　　　 Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.
Volcanoes may be unpredictable. However, as we learn more about how they work, they will become even more important to life on the earth.
A.However, they can also create new land.
B.Volcanoes can become more dangerous.
C.A volcanic eruption works much the same way.
D.Scientists are using volcanoes to help power cities.
E.The amount of gas trapped inside is also an important one.
F.Volcanoes are threatening the life of people across the world.
G.Volcanoes have played an important role in shaping the earth.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife secure at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now ”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To them this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now ”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself:“Is my boy alive or is he dead ”




Paragraph 2:
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, dad,” Daniel replied.
