Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·广东信宜市高三摸底考试)
One of the most common beliefs among researchers is that humans first arrived in North America 16，000 years ago. According to a recent fossil discovery, that might not be true. The new finding suggests that humans might have arrived in North America far earlier.
In 2013, a damaged mammoth (猛犸象) skull and other bones that looked “deliberately broken” were found. The damage to the bones suggested that humans were the ones who caused it to make tools. Carbon dating analysis suggested the pieces are roughly 37，000 years old. This discovery could shift our understanding of humans' earliest existence in North America. These fossils suggest humans killed animals in the area much earlier than 16, 000 years ago.
Previous research led scientists to believe the first humans that settled in North America belonged to the Clovis culture. This was a group of people who left behind carefully made tools 16，000 years ago. However, carbon dating analysis of the mammoth bones indicates that the site is around 36, 250 to 38, 900 years old. That means it's the oldest known site left behind by ancient humans in North America.
“That's not the only interesting thing about the discovery，” said Timothy Rowe, a professor at the University of Texas. “The similar findings supporting an earlier date for human arrival have been mostly ignored. This is because they have contradicted previous research.”
Now, however, he thinks there's a good chance that researchers will find evidence of humans farther back in time.
The early humans shaped bones into sharp blades, which were used to take apart animals' remains, according to Rowe. There are also signs that they cooked the animal bones over a fire to melt off the fat. “The real evidence that we have has to do with the breakage patterns, and how thorough they are. They must have used rocks or hammer stones to bust the skeleton apart... These people would use whatever they could，” Rowe told USA Today.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新的研究表明人类远早于16，000年前就到达了北美。
1．What can be learnt about the earliest humans in North America
A．They arrived there 16，000 years ago.
B．They caused mammoth to disappear.
C．They belonged to the Clovis culture.
D．They could make tools with bones.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“The damage to the bones suggested that humans were the ones who caused it to make tools.(骨头上的损伤表明是人类制造的工具造成的。)”可知，北美洲最早的人类可以用骨头制作工具。故选D。
2．Why are the findings similar to the new one ignored
A．They lack a good chance.
B．They fail to draw attention.
C．They disagree with earlier research.
D．They aren't studied scientifically.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第四段的“The similar findings supporting an earlier date for human arrival have been mostly ignored. This is because they have contradicted previous research.(支持人类更早到达的类似发现大多被忽视了。这是因为它们与之前的研究相矛盾。)”可知，与新发现相似的早期发现被忽略是因为与早期研究相矛盾。故选C。
3．How does Rowe find the new discovery
A.Inspiring. B．Annoying.
C．Puzzling. D．Embarrassing.
解析：A　推理判断题。根据第五段“Now, however, he thinks there's a good chance that researchers will find evidence of humans farther back in time.(然而，现在他认为研究人员很有可能找到更早以前人类存在的证据。)”可知，Rowe认为新的研究很有可能帮助研究人员找到更早以前人类存在的证据。由此推知，Rowe认为这个发现是鼓舞人心的。故选A。
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Earliest Humans' Settling in North America
B．Evidence of Earlier Humans' Arrival in North America
C.The Earliest Tool Makers in North America
D．Research on Mammoths in North America
解析：B　主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“The new finding suggests that humans might have arrived in North America far earlier.(这项新发现表明，人类可能更早到达北美。)”和第二段的“This discovery could shift our understanding of humans' earliest existence in North America. These fossils suggest humans killed animals in the area much earlier than 16, 000 years ago.(这一发现可能会改变我们对人类最早在北美存在的理解。这些化石表明，早在一万六千年前，人类就在该地区捕杀动物。)”可知，本文主要介绍新的研究表明人类远早于16，000年前就到达了北美。B项“早期人类到达北美的证据”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

Many news reports focus on climate change these days.Extreme heat, wildfires, floods, homeless polar bears...How do you feel when reading worrying news about climate change You may believe that people are becoming insensitive to the warming planet, accepting that it is only getting worse.
A research team at Pennsylvania State University，U.S., reported otherwise.To record how the news can impact people's emotions, participants were first exposed to negative news stories about climate change for three days.They then continued to read negative news headlines for seven days.In the first three days, the participants experienced greater fear and less hope, which can potentially hurt an audience's belief that they can do anything to tackle the problem.
However, during the seven day long exposure, the fear peaked and then held steady(稳定的).“We saw the opposite pattern in our second study.The more exposure people had to these threatening news stories each day, the more likely they are to think that they can make a difference in tackling climate change，” Christofer Skurka, the paper's lead author told the Pennsylvania State University website.
According to the researchers, one possibility is that when the public hears about climate change threats, they may convince themselves that they have control over the situation.They will then believe that their actions may make a difference.
Knowing that everyone is able to help is only the first step.According to a study that analyzed information from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison.For example, if a person's neighbors follow a low carbon lifestyle, such as driving electric cars, the person may feel social pressure and become more likely to follow this behavior.This happens because people usually judge their own behavior and follow social norms (规范).Another effective motivation is providing financial rewards to consumers, helping them save money.
“There are so many routes to our goals，” Matthew Goldberg, the co author of the study, told Scientific American.As Goldberg pointed out, future research like this can help policymakers decide how best to encourage people toward more climate friendly habits.

A lady named Ella lived in a small, pretty town surrounded by gentle hills and big, green forests.Her favorite place in the whole world was her kitchen.It was like her special art studio, but for making delicious food.Ella loved cooking, especially for her mom, who really enjoyed old fashioned, tasty dishes.Every night, they would sit down together and enjoy the tasty food that Ella made with lots of care and love.
Ella's mother always said, “Cooking is not just about feeding my body；it's about feeding my soul.” Ella kept these words close to her heart, and cooking became a spiritual bond between her mother and her.They shared joyful times, with Ella carefully measuring each cooking material and making her mom's favorite while her mom told stories of her own childhood kitchen adventures.On cold evenings, they would laugh together as they added spices to a hearty stew, the steam making the kitchen windows foggy and turning it into a warm, comfortable place.
However, this bond was broken when her mother passed away.The kitchen, once filled with warmth, the smell of spices and the sound of laughter, turned into a place that just reminded Ella of her mom and made her very sad.She avoided the recipe books, as they brought back memories of their cooking sessions—like the time they accidentally used salt instead of sugar in cookies, but ended up laughing it off and making it once again together.With her mom gone, the joy of cooking faded, leaving Ella with a heart heavy with loss.
Months turned into years, and Ella's interest in cooking faded into a distant memory.But life had other plans for her.One day, Ella came across a volunteer group that attended to seniors in her community.Moved by their dedication, she decided to join them.

As Ella spent more time with the seniors, she noticed their longing for home cooked meals.Their eyes would light up at the mention of certain dishes, and they often shared stories of their own kitchen memories.It reminded Ella of the bond she had with her mother and the joy they shared in the kitchen.Despite her initial hesitation, she found herself drawn to the idea of cooking again, not just for herself but also for others who craved the comfort of home made food.
