【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了费尔法克斯县公园管理局社区花园地块租赁项目的相关政策、地块类型及租赁条款。
第21题.A 细节理解题。解析：根据文章第一段中“Our policy of ‘next plot, next person’ for our registration list ensures a healthy mix of backgrounds and a fair distribution of plots.”可知，该政策旨在确保背景的多样性以及地块的公平分配。故选A。
第22题.D 细节理解题。解析：根据文章第二段中“Gardeners who follow the rules are offered renewal rentals for subsequent years in all garden plot parks except Hogge Park where rentals are only for one year.”可知，Hogge Park与其他公园不同，其租赁期限仅为一年，不可续租，即提供不可续租的租赁服务。故选D。
第23题.C 细节理解题。解析：根据文章最后“Comparison of Large and Small Rental Plots”表格中关于“Accessibility”一栏的信息，小地块模型(Small Plot Model)标注为“All plots accessible by wheelchair.”，而大地块模型仅在Laurel Hill提供轮椅通道。因此，小地块模型对残障人士更为友好。故选C。
B篇主题语境：人与社会——对社会有突出贡献的人物
【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记文。文章主要讲述了Paul Farmer医生从童年时期与海地结缘，到后来在海地及其他国家开展公共卫生事业，致力于为贫困人群提供医疗服务的生平事迹。
第24题.B 细节理解。解析：根据文章第二段，Paul在12岁时跟随家人乘坐改装的大巴旅行，一个夏天他与家人一起和海地移民工人摘橘子，并好奇地听他们用克里奥尔语交谈，这是他第一次接触海地。因此，是童年与家人旅行的经历让他对海地产生了兴趣。故选B。
第25题.A 推理判断。解析：根据文章第三段，Paul到达海地时，当地医院系统非常匮乏，病人甚至需要自己购买基本医疗用品，他对这种情况感到震惊，决定开设一个不同的诊所。由此可知，他开设诊所的目的是提供可及的医疗服务。故选A。
第26题.A 词句理解。解析：根据文章最后一段，Laurie Nuell提到作为一名社会工作者，她学会了保持专业距离，但Paul不同，他对痛苦感同身受，“That’s the beauty of it”指的就是他始终保持同情心的品质。故选A。
第27题.B 写作目的。解析：文章从Paul Farmer童年与海地的初次接触写起，讲述他在海地及其他国家为贫困人群建立医疗网络、改善公共卫生的毕生成就，并通过他人评价突出其富有同情心的人格。全文旨在赞扬他一生对公共卫生事业的奉献。故选B。
C篇主题语境：人与社会——科学研究
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是科学家通过实验测试倭黑猩猩Kanzi是否具备想象和假装游戏的能力，并探讨其与人类想象力的异同。
第28题. B 事实细节题。 解析：根据第二段中“They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.”可知，在第一次实验中，Kanzi被要求在两个杯子中选择一个，它选择了科学家假装还有果汁的那个杯子。故选B。
第29题. C 推理判断题。 解析：根据第三段中“To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake, they also ran a test with actual juice.”以及后续Bastos的说明“Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice”可知，科学家用真果汁做实验是为了确认Kanzi能否区分真实与假装。故选C。
第30题. C 观点态度题。 解析：根据第四段中Tomasello所说“There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real”以及“To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself”可知，他认为现有实验不足以证明Kanzi真正拥有想象力，还需要更主动的假装行为作为证据。故选C。
第31题. D 主旨大意题。 解析：文章围绕科学家通过假装果汁派对实验测试猿类想象力展开，D项“A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested”既概括了实验形式，又点明了核心话题，简洁贴切。故选D。
D篇主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是科学家利用真菌的菌丝体成功制造出忆阻器，这种生物基计算机组件具有与硅基芯片相当的性能，并且在低功耗等方面具有独特优势，为未来计算机技术的发展提供了新方向。
第32题. B 细节理解。解析：根据第二段“The result is a memristor with performance comparable to that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today do not.”以及第三段“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the machine isn’t being used,”可知，基于菌丝体的忆阻器在不使用时功耗较低，故选B。
第33题. A 细节理解。解析：根据第四段“Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in ways similar to neural systems.”可知，科学家选择蘑菇是因为其网络与神经系统相似，A项符合文意。故选A。
第34题. D 推理判断。解析：根据第六段“They were able to fix it by adding more mushrooms to the circuit.”可知，当电压升高导致性能下降时，增加蘑菇数量可以改善性能，即网络扩展有助于提升性能，故选D。
第35题. D 主旨大意。解析：文章围绕科学家利用真菌菌丝体制造忆阻器的研究成果展开，介绍了其性能、优势及实验过程，属于生物计算组件领域的突破性进展，D项概括准确。故选D。

第37题.F 段首句与下文细节的对应关系。解析：本段后文提到我们难以与不同的人对话、忘记倾听、给出不当回应，这些都是“难以处理棘手对话”的具体表现。F项“许多人不知道如何处理棘手的对话”恰当地概括了本段内容，引出下文的具体问题。故选F。
第38题.C 段落结论句与因果逻辑。解析：本段前文强调对话素养的重要性，指出它能让人反思对话的力量，帮助识别并避免有害对话。C项“因此，我们的社会关系将得到改善”是前文内容的自然结果，且与后文“当我们进行真实对话时，奇妙的事情会发生”形成衔接。故选C。
第39题.A 段落细节与具体现象的对应关系。解析：本段讲述真实面对面交流时发生的变化。空格后提到我们无意识地模仿动作、相互协调，以及大脑同步等现象，这些都是“身体自然适应对方”的具体表现。A项“我们的身体自然地相互适应”准确地概括了后文内容。故选A。
第40题.G 段落建议句与举例说明的关系。解析：本段前文建议“现在就可以开始建立对话素养”，空格后说明真诚对话对家庭中最年轻成员的成功与发展有巨大影响。G项“你可以尝试进行家庭晚餐交谈，且餐桌上没有手机”是具体的实施建议，既承接前文的行动呼吁，又引出后文对家庭成员的影响。故选G。

语法填空主题语境：人与社会——节日习俗
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是巴基斯坦拉合尔市在时隔多年后重新合法举办巴桑特节（风筝节），政府为保障安全对风筝制作、销售及放飞时间等进行了严格管制，并解释了出台这些措施的历史原因。
第56题.needed 非谓语动词（过去分词作定语）。解析：空格前的名词string与动词need之间是被动关系，意为“被需要的风筝线”，因此用过去分词needed作后置定语，相当于which is needed。
第57题.when 定语从句关系副词。解析：空格前是表示年份的2007，且定语从句“a provincial ban on Basant took effect”主谓宾完整，缺少时间状语，故用关系副词when引导非限制性定语从句。
第58题.and 并列连词。解析：空格前的“strict rules for kite sellers”与“banned items for buyers”以及“a set window”构成三个并列的宾语成分，均为介词with的宾语，表示“对……有严格规定、对……有违禁品限制以及有规定的时间段”，三者之间为并列关系，故用and连接。
第59题.had become 动词时态（过去完成时）。解析：句中“before earlier kite flying regulations were put in place in 2005”表示“在2005年相关规定出台之前”，这一过去时间点之前发生的动作应使用过去完成时，故填had become。
第60题.relaxation 词性转换（名词）。解析：空前为介词of，因此需要名词形式作宾语，动词relax的名词形式为relaxation，意为“放松、消遣”。
第61题.a 冠词。解析：kite maker为可数名词单数，此处首次提到一位名叫Saleem-ud-Din的风筝制作人，表示泛指“一位”，故用不定冠词a。
第62题.adding 非谓语动词（现在分词作状语）。解析：动词add的逻辑主语是句子的主语he，两者之间是主动关系，且add的动作与主句谓语动词says同时发生，故用现在分词adding作伴随状语。
第63题.safer 形容词比较级。解析：动词make后接宾语kite-flying，空格处为宾语补足语。结合语境，政府禁用金属线是为了让放风筝“更安全”，且与之前不安全的状态形成对比，故用形容词safe的比较级safer。
第64题.were transported 动词时态和语态（一般过去时的被动语态）。解析：主语those varieties与动词transport之间为被动关系，且动作发生在过去（Basant举办期间），故用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，填were transported。
第65题.unclear 词性转换（形容词）。解析：空格处为形容词作表语，根据上文“Basant is officially over”以及“kite flying is back to being prohibited”可知，明年是否会再次举办尚不确定，故用clear的反义词unclear，意为“不清楚的”。

第10段
Before we end today, I'd like to clarify the requirements for your short paper. Your paper should be around 1,500 words and focus on one specific topic. A clear structure is important and I do expect thoughtful analysis. However, even more important than structure or ideas is academic integrity. As for the references, you are required to use at least five academic sources including three journal articles. The remaining sources may include books but popular websites should be avoided. More importantly, you must clearly indicate which ideas are your own and which come from others. Simply listing references at the end is not enough. Regarding AI tools, you may use them to help organize your thoughts or improve language accuracy. However, they must not replace your own reasoning or generate complete arguments. Even limited use requires careful checking. If AI contributes in any meaningful way, you must provide a brief explanation of how it was used. Finally, upload a PDF by 5 o'clock pm next Friday. Late papers will receive a grade reduction rather than being rejected.成都市2023级高三第二次模拟测试

Paul Edward Farmer Jr. was born on Oct. 26, 1959, in North Adams, Mass. When Paul was around 12, his father bought an old bus and converted it into a mobile home. Paul, his parents and his five siblings spent the next few years traveling.
One summer, he and his family worked alongside Haitian migrant workers picking oranges, listening curiously as they chatted to one another in Creole. That was Paul’s first encounter with Haiti, the country that would appeal to him in his 20s and then direct him toward a career in public health.
After graduating from Duke University, he moved to Haiti, volunteering in Cange. He arrived when Haiti's hospital system was so threadbare that patients had to pay for basic supplies, like medical gloves. He said he was really taken aback by the situation and decided to open a different kind of clinic. Over the years, Dr. Farmer raised millions of dollars for an ever-expanding network of community health facilities.
The clinic in Haiti, at first a single room, grew over the years to a network of 16 medical centers in the country, with a local staff of almost 7,000. Among them was a teaching hospital opened in 2013. There, poor patients with difficult diseases paid a basic fee of around $1.50 a day for treatment, including medication.
Partners in Health he founded with the the other three also expanded into Rwanda, where Dr. Farmer helped the government restructure the country’s health system, improving health outcomes in areas. Dr. Farmer also helped develop new public health approaches in Peru, Russia and Lesotho, among other places.
Over the years, he kept in touch with many of his patients. “He had a very tender heart,” said Laurie Nuell, a close friend and board director at Partners in Health. “Seeing pain and suffering was very hard for him. It just hurt him. I’m a social worker by training. One thing I learned is about keeping a professional distance. He was different. That’s the beauty of it.”
24. What drew Dr. Farmer’s interest in Haiti
A. His school life at university. B. His childhood traveling with his family.
C. His curiosity about the Creole language. D. His work experience in the countryside.
25. Why did Dr. Farmer decide to open the clinic
A. To offer accessible medical care. B. To promote local social justice.
C. To pursue his academic ambition. D. To expand his medical project globally.
26. What does Laurie Nuell mean by saying “That’s the beauty of it”
A. Dr. Farmer stayed sympathetic.
B. Dr. Farmer was quite professional.
C. Dr. Farmer was experienced in social work.
D. Dr. Farmer showed devotion to public health.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To call for more help for the poor in Haiti.
B. To praise a doctor for his lifelong devotion.
C. To tell a story of a family’s unusual travels.
D. To introduce a new medical system in Haiti.
C
By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape（猿）living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend—that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake（假的）, they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.

A computer that relies on fungal（真菌的）networks to store information could one day be an alternative to the current generation of memory devices, according to research published in PLOS One.
Scientists have built working memristors（忆阻器）—circuitry elements that “remember” their past electrical activity—from the root-like part of a mushroom called the mycelium. The result is a memristor with performance comparable to that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today do not.
“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the machine isn’t being used,” says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University. “That can bring a huge potential advantage.”
Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they send information using electrical and chemical signals, just like a brain. But the fact that they aren’t actually brains means some engineering is needed to make them do what scientists need them to do.
The team grew the mushroom mycelium under controlled conditions. Then they dried the samples in sunlight to ensure long-term stability. Finally, they connected them to a circuit to test their performance. “We would connect electrical wires at different points on the mushrooms,” LaRocco says. “Depending on the voltage（电压）and connectivity, we were seeing different performances.”
The researchers achieved a performance of 5,850 Hertz, with an accuracy of 90 percent from their mushroom memristor—that is, it switches signals at a speed of about 5,850 times per second. The researchers also found that as the electrical voltage increased, the mushroom’s performance decreased. They were able to fix it by adding more mushrooms to the circuit.
You’re not going to have a mycelial computer any time soon. Still, the findings do suggest that this is a promising path for future research. As the researchers note in their paper, “The future of computing could be fungal.”
32. What can be learned about working memristors built from mycelium
A. They are shaped like real mushrooms.
B. They need less power when not working.
C. They perform much better than traditional chips.
D. They have become a new way to store information.
33. Why do scientists choose mushrooms as computer components
A. They have brain-like working networks. B. They can process information like humans.
C. They grow quickly in controlled conditions. D. They can work with electrical signals alone.
34. What do the findings on mushroom memristors show
A. Higher voltage improves accuracy. B. Connectivity has no influence on results.
C. They remain stable when voltage changes. D. Network expansion improves their performance.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Challenges of creating biological computer chips.
B. Advantages of mushroom-based memory devices.
C. A comparison between fungal and neural networks.
D. A breakthrough in developing bio-computing components.

Our conversations define us and shape us as individuals. _____36_____ Just as an expert says, “The quality of our conversations is directly tied to our personal happiness, and to our social and professional success.” While issues like nutrition have become a public health priority, we know very little about the extraordinary human capacity—conversational abilities.
_____37_____ We struggle to engage in dialogue with people who are different from us. We forget to listen to others when they speak, which is the bedrock of empathy and cooperation. We give improper responses without knowing it.
For this reason, we urgently need to make conversational literacy a matter of public interest. This skill enables us to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation. It also helps us to identify and avoid harmful conversations. _____38_____
When we have a real, face-to-face conversation and give our full attention, something special happens. _____39_____ We unconsciously copy movements and coordinate with one another. Research also shows that our brains can become synchronised（同步）during meaningful conversations. The deeper the conversation, the stronger this connection becomes.
You can start building conversational literacy today. _____40_____ Engaging in a genuine conversation will have a huge impact on the success and development—both personal and professional—of the youngest members of the family.
A. Our bodies naturally adjust to each other.
B. Everyday conversation comes very natural to us.
C. Consequently, our social relationship will improve.
D. They can create or destroy our social relationships.
E. This enables us to better recognize and express feelings.
F. Many of us do not understand how to handle a tough conversation.
G. You can try having family dinner talks without mobile phones in sight.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Mrs. Thompson wasn’t what you’d expect from someone who would change the course of a town. In her 60s, she was quiet, soft-spoken, and didn’t seem to stand out in any way. But what she lacked in presence, she more than made up for with her determination and a heart full of sympathy. When she moved into our town, she noticed the rundown state of the local playground—faded equipment, worn paint, and weeds growing through the gravel. It was a far cry from the beautiful playgrounds she remembered from her own childhood.
Rather than complaining about it, Mrs. Thompson decided to do something about it. She didn’t have any grand plans or special expertise. She simply had an idea—a vision for a better playground where kids could play and families could gather. Mrs. Thompson started small, going door-to-door, talking to neighbors, and explaining her idea. At first, some people were doubtful. The town was struggling with budget cuts and didn’t have much extra money for a playground overhaul. But Mrs. Thompson’s passion was infectious. She listened to everyone’s concerns and patiently responded to them. She made it clear that this wasn’t just her project but something the whole community could benefit from.
Mrs. Thompson’s determination was quite strong. She tirelessly fundraised, organized bake sales, car washes, and even held a small-town fair to raise money. She faced countless difficulties—funding challenges, logistical issues, and sometimes just sheer doubt from others. But she never gave up and her determination slowly began to draw more and more people into her cause. Neighbors started pitching in, donating time, skills, and money. A local construction company offered to do the heavy lifting for free. Businesses contributed materials, and parents volunteered to paint, build, and clean up.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was a great day when the new playground was finally ready.
Mrs. Thompson’s influence didn’t end with a new playground.
