Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2025·浙江绍兴高考科目诊断性考试) As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a marine biologist and I lived out this fantasy by setting up aquariums at home. Then, at 20, I was introduced to photographer David Liittschwager, who hired me to help him with a magazine assignment on marine life.
David's assignment was to document the amazing biodiversity found in the ocean. My role was to collect specimens for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I'd then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot.
Those evenings made me feel as if I were on another planet. I had never imagined such strange life-forms could exist in our oceans. But I didn't grasp the true magic of what was in front of me until I saw the photographs David took.
The biggest surprise was his image of a baby flounder. I caught this fish by accident. Only later did I notice its two tiny eyeballs staring back at me. But David's photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs (肋骨). The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand.
Years after that project, I was snorkeling (潜泳) on a shallow reef. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives.
1．What was the author's role in the magazine assignment？(　　)
A．Photographing the marine life.
B．Documenting the amazing biodiversity.
C．Building an aquarium for marine research.
D．Attracting and gathering species of marine life.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My role was to collect specimens for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I'd then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot.”可知，作者的任务是吸引和收集海洋生物的物种，供David Liittschwager的拍照。故选D。
2．What surprised the author about the image of a baby flounder？(　　)
A．The advanced techniques of lighting.
B．The strange appearance of the small fish.
C．The accurate display of its comprehensive details.
D．The unexpected effect of background processing.
答案：C　
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段可知，David Liittschwager的照片展示了比目鱼的许多细节，这些细节是作者之前没有注意到的。由此可知，作者对小比目鱼的照片感到惊讶是因为它展示了全面的细节。故选C。
3．What can we infer about the author from the text？(　　)
A．He launched a local snorkeling project.
B．He achieved his dream by taking up photography.
C．The project motivated him to start ocean research.
D．The experience changed his view of photography.
答案：D　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives.”可知，在为David Liittschwager工作之前，作者认为摄影的目标仅仅是再现观察，以便其他人分享相同的体验。但这段经历让他意识到摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，教我们从新的视角看待世界。由此可推知，这次经历改变了作者对摄影的看法。故选D。
4．What is the true magic of photography？(　　)
A．To record an observation result.
B．To help people see the world anew.
C．To share one's specific experience.
D．To reveal visible wonders of the world.
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to look at the world from new perspectives.”可推知，摄影的真正魔力在于帮助人们以新的视角看待世界。故选B。
B
(2025·山东烟台高三期中) For decades it's been hoped that seawater could be desalinated (淡化) to resolve the problem of drinking water shortage. Yet desalination plants still provide only around one percent of the world's drinking water. The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run. Energy accounts for one-third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of desalinated water, the process accounts for up to a fifth of the nation's energy consumption. But all this may be changing. A 2020 study found that, globally, the average cost of desalinated water could more than halve if solar power and battery storage systems were used. Across the world, there are around 180 facilities currently under construction, or in their design phase, mostly in the Middle East and North Africa. New sources of renewable energy like solar power mean it's getting cheaper to power energy-hungry desalination equipment in sunny and water-stressed areas.
Egypt and Morocco, for example, are building renewable-powered plants designed both to provide drinking water and to water crops. In South Australia, a self-cooling greenhouse design that uses wind to desalinate seawater for crops is part of a commercial project producing 15 percent of Australian-grown tomatoes. Scientists are also making major breakthroughs, such as new self-cleaning membrane (膜状物) technology, which improve the desalination process.
One start-up, Core Power, is developing nuclear-powered offshore plants. Another, Oneka, is employing wave power for desalination units. This wave of growth and innovation is set to continue. A global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32 billion dollars by 2030.
But serious challenges remain. Most facilities still use non-renewable fuels to power the plants, and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sealife. These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.
5．What results in the slow progress of desalination？(　　)
A．High production costs.
B．Environmental concerns.
C．Little demand for fresh water.
D．Lack of official support.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run. Energy accounts for one third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.”可知，生产成本高导致海水淡化进展缓慢。故选A。
6．What do the facts in Paragraphs 3 and 4 imply concerning the desalination industry？(　　)
A．It promises a bright prospect.
B．It'll end water shortage soon.
C．It's merely a temporary success.
D．It faces huge investment risks.
答案：A　
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，本段通过具体的埃及、摩洛哥和南澳大利亚的项目，以及自清洁膜技术的突破，展示了海水淡化领域的不断发展。根据第四段可知，本段介绍核能和波浪能两种新兴技术，以及良好的市场预测，强调了海水淡化领域的创新趋势和市场增长。由此可知，海水淡化行业前景光明。故选A。
7．In which of the following publications would this text be printed？(　　)
A．Motor Trend. B．Runner's World.
C．Psychology Today. D．The Economist.
答案：D　
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是全文第一句“For decades it's been hoped that seawater could be desalinated (淡化) to resolve the problem of drinking water shortage.”可知，文章围绕海水淡化展开，介绍了其现状，并指出通过利用可再生能源和新技术，海水淡化成本正在降低，市场增长迅速，但仍面临能源和环境挑战。因此，文章与自然资源、工业技术及经济发展相关，可能被刊登在《经济学人》这种涉及商业、金融和科技等的刊物上。故选D。
8．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows？(　　)
A．Why we depend on fresh water to live.
B．How to lessen negative effects of desalination.
C．What to do to store fresh water against droughts.
D．How desalination technologies boost water supply.
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“But serious challenges remain. Most facilities still use non renewable fuels to power the plants, and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sealife. These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.”可知，此处指出海水淡化领域仍然面临严峻的能源和环境挑战。由此可推知，接下来作者应该会探讨如何减少海水淡化的负面影响。故选B。

1．答案：to　
解析：考查介词。此处表示“它见证了水利工程的早期卓越发展”。bear witness to sth.“见证某事”，为固定短语。
2．答案：served　
解析：考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语，the Grand Canal和serve之间是主动关系。再根据时间状语“In ancient times”可知，时态应用一般过去时。故填served。
3．答案：construction　
解析：考查名词。根据空前“the”和空后“of”可知，此处应用名词，construction“建筑，建造，施工”，是不可数名词。故填construction。
4．答案：which　
解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，并指代先行词the Gongchen Bridge。故填which。
5．答案：to represent　
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，应用动词不定式。故填to represent。
6．答案：a　
解析：考查冠词。a length of“长……”，是固定搭配，此处total修饰length，其发音以辅音音素开头。故填不定冠词a。
7．答案：sites　
解析：考查名词复数。空前有“58”修饰，且site“场地，场所”是可数名词，故填sites。
8．答案：and　
解析：考查连词。句中的enters、travels和flows为并列关系，故填并列连词and。
9．答案：are recommended　
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处说明一般情况，应用一般现在时，且主语是可数名词的复数形式，与recommend之间是被动关系，故填are recommended。
10．答案：its　
解析：考查形容词性物主代词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰名词scenery，应用形容词性物主代词，表示“它的”，故填its。
