12. discnnected
13. ver
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Sasaki在山顶建立一座电话亭,帮助人们说出他们在别人面前感到尴尬的话。
【11题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:一座白色的电话亭,被称为“风的电话”,坐落在山顶的花园里。文章通篇时态是一般现在时,主语A white telephne bth是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数形式sits。故填sits。
【12题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:虽然电话是断开的,但它有一个意想不到的作用:帮助人们说出在别人面前不好意思说的话。Thugh引导让步状语从句,从句中省略了主语the phne和系动词is,完整的表达应该是Thugh the phne is discnnected。故填discnnected。
【13题详解】
考查介词。句意:我的想法不能通过普通的电话线传递,所以我想让它们通过风来传递。名词phne line 前用介词形式。介词ver表示“通过(某种通讯途径、媒介等)”,符合句意。故填ver。
B
语法填空

【答案】14. but
15. are divided
16. that##which
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默是人类所特有,是幸福的关键。
【14题详解】
考查连词。句意:每个人都有幽默感,但不是每个人都有好的幽默感。分析句子,设空处应该使用连词,连接前后两个句子,此处表示转折关系,用表转折的并列连词but。故填but。
【15题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:心理学家对幽默是天生的还是后天习得的存在分歧。陈述一般性事实,用一般现在时。主语Psychlgists为复数形式,与divide之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,注意主谓一致。故填are divided。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些品质可以与其他形式的生命共享。分析句子,设空处引导的是限制性定语从句,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,先行词qualities,其意为“品质”为物,应用关系代词which或者that。故填that/which。
C
语法填空

18. t shw
19. hw 20. have witnessed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了照壁从古至今的功能变化。
【17题详解】
考查名词。句意:照壁可以在建筑物的入口处找到,在它们最早的形式中,它们仅是为社会最高成员建造的,以显示他们的社会地位和保护隐私。f名词所有格,用名词entrance (入口)。故填entrance。
【18题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:照壁可以在建筑物的入口处找到,在它们最早的形式中,它们仅是为社会最高成员建造的,以显示他们的社会地位和保护隐私。shw用不定式形式作目的状语。故填t shw。
【19题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:如今,照壁仍然是遥远的过去的样子。分析句子结构可知,这里为表语从句,描述其呈现的状态方式保持了过去的样子,用连接副词hw引导。故填hw。
【20题详解】
考查时态。句意:通过这些功能的不断演变,这些墙见证了中国的发展,让我们了解了历史上某个特定时期的生活。无灵主语常与有灵动词搭配使用,这些动词原本用于描述人或社会团体的动作和行为,如“see”(看见)、“witness”(见证)等,当它们与无灵主语结合时,能够赋予非生命事物以生命般的特性和动作,使句子更加生动有趣。分析句子结构可知,空处作谓语,根据句意可知,见证这一动作从过去发生一直持续到现在,应用现在完成时have/has dne,无灵主语these walls和有灵谓语动词witness是主动关系,且主语是复数,应用have dne,witness的过去分词为witnessed。故填have witnessed。

As a clueless freshman, I waltzed int my first creative writing curse by accident, thinking it was a literature class n hw t read stries, nt hw t write them.
When the teacher intrduced the curse, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned frm the curse wuldn’t cunt tward my majr. By the end f the sessin, hwever, I decided that I had t be a part f the curse. Perhaps, as a lifelng reader, I was eager t understand hw stries wrked their magic.
But taking the class wuld be impssible: I wasn’t even n the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked fr a vlunteer t submit the first wrkshp stry.
Silence blanketed the rm. N ne risked eye cntact. Whever vlunteered wuld have t write a whle stry in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written ne befre.
Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I g first, will yu give me a spt in the class?” He said he wuld.

Years later, I’d cmpleted a degree in creative writing and was wrking n a nvel when a literary agent asked t read the first 50 pages f my draft. But I wasn’t cmfrtable shwing her anything; the nvel was far frm dne.
Thrughut graduate schl, I’d been advised many times nt t cntact agents until I have a cmplete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning f my stry was attractive and that the agent might nt remember me after a year.
S, nce again, instead f keeping my head dwn and aviding eye cntact, I did the ppsite. I sent her the first three chapters. A mnth later, she signed me n the strength f thse chapters alne. She has since seen me thrugh the publicatin f three nvels.
Determinatin, fcus, perseverance-the qualities that I cnsider crucial in getting me int Stanfrd n dubt helped me becme the nvelist I am tday. And yet if I’d trained my gaze nly n the path ahead, I wuld have missed s many happy accidents, s many beautiful pprtunities t lk up, raise my hand, and say yes.
24. What made the authr finally decide t take the curse?
A. The ppularity f the curse.B. Her cnfidence in her writing skills.

25. The authr vlunteered t write the first wrkshp stry t ________.

Enlightening, challenging, stimulating, fun. These were sme f the wrds that Nature readers used t describe their experiences f art-science cllabratins in a series f articles n partnerships between artists and researchers. Nearly 40% f the rughly 350 peple wh respnded t an accmpanying pll, said they had cllabrated with artists; and almst all said they wuld cnsider ding s in future.
Such an encuraging result is nt surprising. Scientists are increasingly seeking ut visual artists t help them cmmunicate their wrk t new audiences. “Artists help scientists reach a brader audience and make emtinal cnnectins that enhance learning,” ne respndent said.
One example f hw artists and scientists have tgether rcked the scenes came last mnth when the Sydney Symphny Orchestra perfrmed a rewrked versin f Antni Vivaldi’s The Fur Seasns. They reimagined the 300-year-ld scre by injecting the latest climate predictin data fr each seasn-prvided by Mnash University’s Climate Change Cmmunicatin Research Hub. The perfrmance was a creative call t actin ahead f Nvember’s United Natins Climate Change Cnference in Glasgw, UK.
But a genuine partnership must be a tw-way street. Fewer artists than scientists respnded t the Nature pll; hwever, several respndents nted that artists d nt simply assist scientists with their cmmunicatin requirements. Nr shuld their wrk be cnsidered nly as an bject f study. The alliances are mst valuable when scientists and artists have a shared interest in a prject, are able t jintly design it and can critique each ther’s wrk. Such an apprach can bth prmpt new research as well as result in pwerful art.
Mre than half a century ag, the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy pened its Center fr Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) t explre the rle f technlgy in culture. The funders deliberately fcused their prjects arund light—hence the"visual studies"in the name. Light was smething that bth artists and scientists had an interest in, and therefre culd frm the basis f cllabratin. As science and technlgy prgressed, and divided int mre sub-disciplines, the centre was simultaneusly (同时地) lking t a time when leading researchers culd als be artists, writers and pets, and vice versa.
Nature’s pll findings suggest that this trend is as strng as ever, but, t make a cllabratin wrk, bth sides need t invest time, and embrace surprise and challenge. The reach f art-science tie-ups needs t g beynd the

词句猜测题。根据前文“But a genuine partnership must be a tw-way street. Fewer artists than scientists respnded t the Nature pll; hwever, several respndents nted that artists d nt simply assist scientists with their cmmunicatin requirements. Nr shuld their wrk be cnsidered nly as an bject f study.(但真正的伙伴关系必须是双向的。回应《自然》调查的艺术家比科学家少;然而,一些受访者指出,艺术家不仅仅是帮助科学家满足他们的沟通需求。他们的工作也不应该仅仅被视为研究的对象)”可知,本段真正的伙伴关系必须是双向的,也就是艺术家不仅仅是帮助科学家满足他们的沟通需求,而且能够共同设计这个项目,并能互相批评对方的工作,这种联盟是最有价值的,推知alliances应是“联盟”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。

D
The weather in Texas may have cled since the recent extreme heat, but the temperature will be high at the State Bard f Educatin meeting in Austin this mnth as fficials debate hw climate change is taught in Texas schls.
Pat Hardy, wh sympathizes with the views f the energy sectr, is resisting prpsed changes t science standards fr pre-teen pupils. “There are as many scientists wrking against all the panic f glbal climate change as there are thse wh are pushing it,” she claims. “Texas is an energy state and we need t recgnize that. Yu need t remember where yur bread is buttered.”
Mst scientists and experts sharply dispute Hardy’s views. Bard members like her “casually dismiss the career wrk f schlars and scientists as just anther misguided pinin,” says Dan Quinn, senir cmmunicatins strategist at the Texas Freedm Netwrk, a nn-prfit grup that mnitrs public educatin.
Such debates reflect fierce discussins acrss the US, as researchers, plicymakers, teachers and students step up demands fr a greater fcus n teaching abut the facts f climate change in schls.
A study last year by the Natinal Center fr Science Educatin, a nn-prfit grup f scientists and teachers, lking at hw state public schls acrss the cuntry address climate change in science classes, gave barely half f US states a grade B+ r higher. Amng the 10 wrst perfrmers were sme f the mst ppulus states, including Texas, which was given the lwest grade (F) and has a disprprtinate influence because its textbks are widely sld elsewhere.
Glenn Branch, the centre’s deputy directr, cautins that setting state-level science standards is nly ne limited benchmark in a cuntry that decentralizes decisins t lcal schl bards. Even if a state is cnsidered a high perfrmer in its science standards, “that des nt mean it will be taught”, he says. Anther issue is that, while climate change is well integrated int sme subjects and at sme ages-such as earth and space sciences in high schls—it is nt as well represented in curricula (教学大纲) fr yunger children and in subjects that are mre widely taught, such as bilgy and chemistry. It is als less prminent in many scial studies curses.
Branch pints ut that, even if a grwing number f fficial guidelines and textbks reflect scientific cnsensus
n climate change, unfficial educatinal materials that cnvey mre biased perspectives are being distributed t teachers. They include materials spnsred by energy industry assciatins.
32. What des Quinn think f Hardy?
A. She exaggerates the existing panic.B. She shws n cncern fr pre-teens.
C. She expresses self-cntradictry views.D. She denies the value f scientific wrk.
33. The study mentined in Paragraph 5 shws that ________.
A. Texas is reluctant t rewrite its science textbks
B. plicymakers have little drive fr science educatin
C. climate educatin is insufficient at state public schls
D. envirnmental teaching in sme states lacks supervisin
34. Accrding t Branch, state-level science standards in the US________.
A. call fr regular revisinB. have limited influence
C. require urgent applicatinD. priritize lcal needs
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论了在气候问题日益严重的情况下,我们应该如何加强公立学校的气候教育工作。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Bard members like her “casually dismiss the career wrk f schlars and scientists as just anther misguided pinin,” says Dan Quinn, senir cmmunicatins strategist at the Texas Freedm Netwrk, a nn-prfit grup that mnitrs public educatin. (监督公共教育的非营利组织德克萨斯自由网络的高级传播策略师Dan Quinn说,像她这样的董事会成员“随意地驳回学者和科学家的职业工作只是另一种误导性的观点”。)”可知,Dan Quinn认为Hardy随意地驳回学者和科学家的职业工作,由此可知,Quinn认为Hardy否认了科学工作的价值。故选D项。
33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段关键句“A study last year by the Natinal Center fr Science Educatin, a nn-prfit grup f scientists and teachers, lking at hw state public schls acrss the cuntry address climate change in science classes, gave barely half f US states a grade B+ r higher. (美国国家科学教育中心是一个由科学家和教师组成的非营利组织,去年的一项研究考察了全国各州公立学校如何在科学课上应对气候变化,该研究仅给美国一半的州打了B+或更高的分数。)”可知,美国仅有一半的州在教授学生如何应对气候变化方面得
了B+或更高的分数,由此可知,第5段中提到的研究表明公立学校的气候教育不足。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Glenn Branch, the centre’s deputy directr, cautins that setting state-level science standards is nly ne limited benchmark in a cuntry that decentralizes decisins t lcal schl bards. (该中心副主任格伦·布兰奇警告说,在一个将决策权下放给地方学校董事会的国家,制定州级科学标准只是一个有限的基准。)”可知,布兰奇认为制定州级科学标准只是一个有限的基准,由此可知,布兰奇认为美国州级科学标准影响力有限。故选B项。

Our Amazing Hands
The hand is where the mind meets the wrld. We use ur hands t build fires, t fly airplanes, and t write. The human brain, with its pen-ended creativity, may be the thing that makes the human race unique. But withut hands, all the ideas we think up wuld cme t nthing.
____35____ Study it carefully, yu will find smething interesting. The thumb alne is cntrlled by nine separate muscles. The wrist is a grup f bnes and muscles cnnected with nerves. The nerves send branches int each fingertip, which makes the fingers extremely flexible. ____36____
Early hands seemed mre unusual and interesting than any hand tday. Sme animals had seven fingers. Others had eight. But by the time vertebrates (脊椎动物) appeared 340 millin years ag, the hand had develped t nly five fingers. ____37____
After years f research, scientists are beginning t understand the mlecular (分子的) changes in hands. ____38____This makes the hands f different animals very similar. There is a netwrk f many genes that builds a hand, and all hands are built n that netwrk.
The discvery has given scientists a deeper understanding f the develpment f hands. A bird’s wing and a lin’s pa w may appear t have nthing in cmmn. ____39____It may just be a little mre f ne prtein here a little less f anther there. In the past, scientists culd recgnize nly the utward signs that hands had develped frm a cmmn ancestr. Tday scientists are uncvering the inward signs as well.
A. Hands can ften be used fr a number f different purpses.
B. But the difference between them may cme dwn t a tiny change in frm.
C. It has kept that number fr reasns scientists dn’t yet knw.
D. N ne wuld dubt that the five fingers are different with each ther.
E. They als see that all hands start ut in much the same way.
F. S yu can see a skilled watchmaker use his hands t set springs in place under a micrscpe.
G. The reasn we can use ur hands fr s many things is their special structure.
【答案】35. G 36. F 37. C 38. E 39. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类手部的结构、功能、发展以及与其他动物手部结构的相似性,向读者展示了手的神奇之处和科学家们对手部研究的最新进展。
【35题详解】
空后内容“Study it carefully, yu will find smething interesting. (仔细研究它,你会发现一些有趣的事情。)”中的“it”指代的就是手,这句话暗示了手的结构或特点很有趣,所以空处需要一个句子来承接前文并引出后文对手的研究。选项G“The reasn we can use ur hands fr s many things is their special structure. (我们能用手做这么多事情的原因是它们特殊的结构。)” 既承接了前文关于手可以用于多种用途的表述,又引出了后文对手的结构的研究,符合语境。故选G。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“The thumb alne is cntrlled by nine separate muscles. The wrist is a grup f bnes and muscles cnnected with nerves. The nerves send branches int each fingertip, which makes the fingers extremely flexible. (仅拇指就由九块独立的肌肉控制。手腕是一组与神经相连的骨骼和肌肉。神经向每个指尖发出分支,这使得手指极其灵活。)”可知,上文提到了手指非常灵活。选项F“S yu can see a skilled watchmaker use his hands t set springs in place under a micrscpe. (所以你可以看到一位熟练的钟表匠在显微镜下用他的双手把弹簧放在适当的位置。)”为一个具体的例子,很好地说明了手指灵活性的实际应用,即手的结构使其能够完成精细的操作。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据空前内容“But by the time vertebrates appeared 340 millin years ag, the hand had develped t nly five fingers. (但在3.4亿年前脊椎动物出现的时候,手已经发展到只有五个手指了。)”可知,上文提到了手已经发展到了五个手指。选项C“It has kept that number fr reasns scientists dn’t yet knw. (出于科学家们尚不知道的原因,它一直保持了这个数字。)”延续上文内容,指出了手指为什么保持五个的原因到现在还不清楚。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据空前内容“After years f research, scientists are beginning t understand the mlecular changes in hands. (经过多年的研究,科学家们开始了解手部的分子变化。)”可知,空处需要进一步说明这些分子变化的特点或影响。选项E“They als see that all hands start ut in much the same way. (他们也看到所有的手都以非常相似的方式开始。)”延续上文内容,继续讲述手部的发展变化。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“The discvery has given scientists a deeper understanding f the develpment f hands. A bird’s wing and a lin’s pa w may appear t have nthing in cmmn. (这一发现使科学家们对手的发展有了更深入的了解。鸟的翅膀和狮子的爪子可能看起来没有什么共同之处。)”可知,上文提到了鸟的翅膀和狮子的爪子看起来似乎不同。选项B“But the difference between them may cme dwn t a tiny change in frm. (但它们之间的区别可能只是形态上的微小变化。)”解释了为什么不同的手部结构可能只是形态上的微小差异,这与后文提到的“It may just be a little mre f ne prtein here, a little less f anther there (这可能只是这里多一点某种蛋白质,那里少一点另一种蛋白质。)”相呼应,即手部结构的差异可能只是由蛋白质含量的微小变化引起的。故选B。

第一节 (共4小题,第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The ther day I was having cffee and catching up with Brian, a friend I hadn’t seen in ver a year, when he asked me this questin: “D yu regret leaving Ggle?” “Of curse, I dn’t regret it,” I answered. But when I reflected mre deeply n his questin, I arrived at this realizatin: We cannt regret smething that has taught us valuable lessns in life.
Truth is, nt every decisin we make will be the right chice fr us. I learned later that quitting my ne and nly surce f incme t start an e-cmmerce business frm nthing was a recipe fr financial disaster. N, that decisin was nt the right ne at the time. Perhaps I shuld’ve fllwed the advice I give tday: Build yur business while wrking a full-time jb s that yu can wrk frm a place f stability. But then again, I wuldn’t have learned such a valuable lessn had I nt acted upn what was truly imprtant t me at the time—the freedm f pursuing my wn dream, n my wn terms.
We regret what’s in the past and can’t be changed. We cmpare the chices we made yesterday t an ideal path that we think we shuld have taken—we simply imagine it t be a better path. What is wrse is when stuck in regret, we lse ur cntrl ver what matters mst: What we d with ur time, tday.
There’s a much better way t lk at regret—a mre mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where actin,
reflectin, and gratitude meet.
S whenever yu find yurself caught in regret, stp and ask yurself these tw questins: “What have I learned frm this? And hw have I grwn because f it?” Perhaps yu might just shift yur viewpint frm that f being upset and regretful t being appreciative and grateful.
40. What did Brian’s questin make the writer realize?
___________________________________________________________
41. List the tw wrds the authr uses t describe the viewpint peple shuld take when facing regret.
___________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that past chices can’t be changed.
___________________________________________________________
43. What has been yur biggest regret during yur high schl life? What have yu learned frm this? (In abut 40 wrds)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Brian’s questin makes the writer realize that we cannt regret smething that has taught us valuable lessns in life.
41. Appreciative and grateful
42. When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that past chices can’t be changed.
Reasn: When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that we lse ur cntrl ver what matters mst: What we d with ur time, tday.
43. The biggest regret during my high schl life is that I did nt study hard and treasure the valuable time and culd nt be admitted t my ideal university. I realized the prblem in my cllege, s I wrked hard n my majr and have made sme achievements in my majr finally. S I accept my regret and learn smething frm it and cnsider the regret as a valuable experience.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过作者的自身经历表达了我们不应该为所做的决定后悔和遗憾,应从沮丧和遗憾转变为感激和感激。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“But when I reflected mre deeply n his questin, I arrived at this realizatin: We cannt regret smething that has taught us valuable lessns in life. (但当我更深入地思考他的问题时,我意识
到:我们不能后悔那些在生活中教会了我们宝贵教训的事情。)”可知,朋友的问题使我意识到我们不能后悔那些在生活中教会了我们宝贵教训的事情。故答案为Brian’s questin make the writer realize that we cannt regret smething that has taught us valuable lessns in life。
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章最后一句“S whenever yu find yurself caught in regret, stp and ask yurself these tw questins: “What have I learned frm this? And hw have I grwn because f it?” Perhaps yu might just shift yur viewpint frm that f being upset and regretful t being appreciative and grateful. ( 所以,当你发现自己陷入后悔之中时,停下来问问自己这两个问题:“我从这件事中学到了什么?我是如何因此而成长的呢?”也许你可以把你的观点从沮丧和遗憾转变为感激和感激。)”可知作者用来描述人们在面对后悔时应该采取的观点的两个词是appreciative和grateful。故答案为Appreciative and grateful。
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“What is wrse is when stuck in regret, we lse ur cntrl ver what matters mst: What we d with ur time, tday.(更糟糕的是,当陷入后悔之中时,我们会失去对最重要的事情的控制:我们今天如何利用我们的时间。) ”可知“When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that past chices can’t be changed. (当人们陷入悔恨时,更糟糕的是过去的选择无法改变。)”这句话是错误的,当人们陷入悔恨时,更糟糕的不是过去的选择无法改变。而是我们会失去对最重要的事情的控制:我们今天如何利用我们的时间。故答案为When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that past chices can’t be changed. Reasn: When peple get stuck in regret, what makes the situatin wrse is that we lse ur cntrl ver what matters mst: What we d with ur time, tday.
【43题详解】
开放性试题,言之有理即可。这篇文章表达了我们不应该为所做的决定后悔和遗憾,应从沮丧和遗憾转变为感激和感激。我们人生当中都有后悔的事情,关键是我们面对后悔和遗憾的态度。故答案可为The biggest regret during my high schl life is that I did nt study hard and treasure the valuable time and culd nt be admitted t my ideal university. I realized the prblem in my cllege, s I wrked hard n my majr and have made sme achievements in my majr finally. S I accept my regret and learn smething frm it and cnsider the regret as a valuable experience.
