本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Tony Buzan的四部有关提升阅读能力、记忆力和创造力的作品。
21. C 细节理解题。根据The Mind Map Book部分中的“The Mind Map Book is a ground-breaking work on the basics of mind mapping suitable for everyone and introduces revolutionary techniques for planning and note-taking.”可知，The Mind Map Book一书可以帮助学生更好地做笔记。故选C。

B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了34岁的Chelsea Sodaro在生下女儿18个月后，在夏威夷的VinFast铁人世界锦标赛上夺得冠军的故事。
24. B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分上文中的“The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race ...”可知，这项比赛很难。结合“All the best athletes show up ...”可推知，他们应是准备好接受挑战了。故选B。
25. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success.”可知，准备做得好是Sodaro取得巨大成功的关键。故选B。
26. A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. ‘I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day,’ she said.”可知，面对即将到来的比赛，她起初很紧张，但在比赛开始前，她感到很平静。这是因为她认为她在训练上付出了很多努力，家人也做出了很多牺牲。她也已经准备好度过美好的一天了，也就是说她有信心参赛。综上可推知，面对压力，Sodaro采用的是自我鼓励的方式。故选A。
27. D 标题概括题。本文主要讲述了34岁的Chelsea Sodaro在生下女儿18个月后，重返赛场，在夏威夷的VinFast铁人世界锦标赛上夺冠的故事。D项最能概括文章主要内容。故选D。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的科学家们发现了一种新型的导电材料，这种材料在制作方式上与塑料类似，但导电方式更像金属。
28. A 推理判断题。文章第一段告诉我们：芝加哥大学的科学家们发现了一种新材料，这种材料可以像塑料一样制造出来，但导电方式更像金属。下文详细阐述了这种材料的特性。由此推断，本段主要是引出文章的说明对象。故选A。
29. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... to a scientist, it’s kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph ... if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material.”可知，作者在此处提及水上行驶的汽车是为了强调这种材料的创新性。故选D。
30. C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered.”可知，最令科学家震惊的是这种材料的分子结构是无序的。故选C。
31. B 观点态度题。根据文中的“extremely well”“extraordinarily useful”“enormously helpful”“attractive”等词汇以及最后一段提到的这种新材料的优点可知，作者对这种新型材料持肯定的态度。故选B。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章通过大批观鸟者来墨西哥观看鸟类迁徙壮景引出对墨西哥生态旅游业的发展现状的介绍。
32. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“millions of birds fly between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and the Gulf of Mexico ... an event known as the ‘River of Raptors’”可知，“猛禽之河”以其迁徙的鸟类数量之多，规模之大而著称。故选B。
33. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中Steven Koevoet的话可知，Koevoet的许多客户都去过其他著名的鸟类迁徙地点，但他们说，他们从未看到过像韦拉克鲁斯的“猛禽之河”这样壮观的景象。由此可知，作者提及Steven Koevoet是为了借助他的话来证明“猛禽之河”事件的壮观。故选D。
34. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Critics suggest the lack of increased ecotourism is mainly caused by Mexico’s failure to encourage tourism away from its beach resorts (旅游胜地).”可知，批评家认为，生态旅游业缺乏增长的主要原因是墨西哥未能促进除海滩度假胜地之外地方的旅游业发展。也就是说，生态旅游业的发展缺乏政府的支持。故选A。
35. B 推理判断题。最后一段首句提到韦拉克鲁斯的环保组织、大学和农民正在试着改变这一状况（‘猛禽之河’事件未能促进生态旅游业的发展）。接着介绍了大农场主Angel Viveros和当地咖啡生产商为促进生态旅游业的发展所作出的努力。下一步可能是为这些生产商发绿色、鸟类友好型认证。综合分析上述信息可知，人们正共同努力发展生态旅游业。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。友谊对每一个人来说都至关重要。本文提供了一些维系友谊并使之焕发生机与活力的建议。
36. D 空前一句提到人们通常认为“爱”是浪漫关系中的一种爱。而空后一句提到了新的看法——它有关爱和感激的传达。根据上下文可知，D项“但它不仅仅是牵手和亲吻。”符合此处的语境，且能起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
37. C 根据空前一句“Tell them how much they mean to you.”和空后一句中的“These simple acts”可知，空处应属于“These simple acts”中的一种。分析选项可知，C项“还有提醒他们你很感激认识他们。”符合语境。故选C。
38. G 本段围绕着“Be generous to your friends.”展开。G项“如果你在工作中加薪了，请朋友吃顿大餐吧。”与空前的“If you’re great with kids, you might offer to babysit for your friends who are parents.”都是慷慨之举。故选G。
39. A 分析文章结构及空处所在的位置可知，空处是本段的小标题。根据其他小标题的句式特点，可确定答案在A和F中。根据本段中“So don’t be afraid to share your struggles with your friends.”可知，本段内容主要与“分享”有关。故选A。
40. B 根据小标题及空后的内容可知，本段主要讲述的是“勇敢地处理冲突”。由空后一句中的“But”可知，空处与空后一句是转折关系。B项中的“deal with conflict in friendships”与空后一句中的“deal with conflict with friends”相呼应。故选B。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Dear Jerry,
Aimed at enriching students’ school life, a tug-of-war competition was held last Friday on our playground.
Bathed in sunshine, our class competed fiercely against Class 3, with the audience cheering wildly. The moment the referee blew the whistle, both teams tried to pull back as hard as they could. Although we won the first round, the other team didn’t lose heart and won the second round. The competition was filled with excitement and fun, ending in a draw.
Not only did the competition help relieve our pressure from the heavy academic load, but it also strengthened our relationship with others.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
“There’s a big food festival downtown today, and we got you a stand.” Jacob said. “Why not go there and give it a shot ” He continued to ask the kids, who could barely contain their excitement and jumped up with wide joy. “Yes, officers!” they exclaimed, a big smile broadening from ear to ear. It was not long before all the lemonade was gathered. The officers soon set up the lemonade stand and uploaded a post introducing their experience, which went viral and caused quite a stir in the neighbourhood. Grandma and the two kids were surprised to see their stand packed solid with people attracted by lemonade.
Paragraph 2:
There was a large crowd eager to buy lemonade. By the end of that day, the children were shocked to see that apart from the money raised, they also received loads of cards with warm and encouraging words. Grandma took the cards with trembling hands, cradling them in arms with tears brimming in her eyes. As soon as their mom was discharged from the hospital, they visited the police station and thanked the officers for their generosity and kindness. John and Nancy hugged Jacob tightly, knowing that they would never forget what they had been through and would cherish the love for good.

Text 10
M: OK. Good morning, everyone. Now I’m going to talk about technology and learning. First of all, let’s talk about the Internet. There are several ways you can use to improve your English. You can read, listen and write.
Firstly, writing practice is good for your learning. On the Internet there are two places where you can write — message boards and live chat rooms. Live chat rooms are great for improving your fluency, because you have to write quickly. People don’t want to wait too long to hear your response. A message board is good for both fluency and accuracy because you can think and prepare before you write.
Also, the Internet is a good place to practice your listening. The Internet may be better than the radio as you can listen again and again. You should visit a good news site, such as the BBC. BBC radio is an incredible resource. The ability to listen repeatedly, and to pause, allows you to put into practice the advice I gave in the reading and listening skills section. In order to improve your listening, you have to be an active listener: make notes; try to write down the main points and new vocabulary.
Finally, visit the website for the textbook. There are extra practice exercises and reading materials. It also offers learners special message boards. OK. That’s all for today. Thank you for listening.2023—2024 学年高二上学期开学考试英语试卷（新高考）（公共原卷版）

Chelsea Sodaro is a 34-year-old new mom who recently won the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in the professional women’s field. Just 18 months after giving birth to her daughter, Skylar, the professional triathlete won the intense competition.
The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race — a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. A resident in Reno, Nevada told Fox News Digital, “The IRONMAN World Championship is the most important part of our sport. All the best athletes show up ready to throw down”.
Sodaro, shockingly, had only ever completed one IRONMAN prior to the World Championship — in June 2022. With just one other full IRONMAN finished, Chelsea Sodaro had to train hard for the championship. The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success. The triathlete trains roughly 25–30 hours a week across all areas of the race: swimming, biking and running. Training athletes like her also tend to lift weights and gain muscle to help them succeed in the race.
However, this particular competition proved to be a challenge beyond the physical training aspect.
Sodaro said the Big Island of Hawaii had unique climate conditions that required additional training on her part. But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. “I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day,” she said.
So how did Sodaro make it to the finish line first She said she stayed focused and didn’t panic when things went wrong.
Sodaro crossed the finish line at 8:33:46. That made her the first rookie (新选手) to win the IRONMAN World Champion in 15 years and the first American in over 25 years.
24. What does the underlined phrase “throw down” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Beat others. B. Take up challenges.
C. Create history. D. Get pleasure.
25. Why did Chelsea Sodaro win a big success in the race
A. She is good at various sports.
B. Her preparation had gone well.
C. She is an experienced competitor.
D. The local residents gave her support.
26. How did Chelsea Sodaro respond to stress before the race
A. By encouraging herself.
B. By giving herself a short break.
C. By talking with her family.
D. By adding more physical training.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. The Best IRONMAN Races in Kailua-Kona
B. Female Athlete Returns After Having a Baby
C. Chelsea Sodaro Crossed the Finish Line
D. New Mom Wins IRONMAN Championship

Scientists of the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The research, published in Nature, shows how to make a kind of material in which the molecular (分子) pieces are disordered, but can still conduct electricity extremely well.
This goes against all of the rules we know about conductivity — to a scientist, it’s kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph. The finding could be extraordinarily useful; if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material.
To the scientists’ astonishment, the material easily and strongly conducted electricity. What’s more, it was very stable. “We heated it, cooled it, exposed it to air and in a wet environment, and even dropped acid and alkali (酸和碱) on it, and nothing happened,” said Xie, the first author on the paper. That is enormously helpful for a device that has to function in the real world.
But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered. “From a fundamental picture, that should not be able to be a metal,” said Anderson, the senior author on the study. “There isn’t a solid theory to explain this.” One of the material’s attractive characteristics is that it has new options for processing. For example, metals usually have to be melted in order to be made into the right shape for a chip or device, which limits what you can make with them, since other components of the device have to be able to withstand (承受) the heat needed to process these materials.
The new material has no such limitation because it can be made at room temperatures. It can still be used where the need for a device or pieces of the device to withstand heat, acid or alkali, or a wet environment has previously limited engineers’ options to develop new technology.
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1
A. Introduce the object to be explained.
B. Provide an example to analyze.
C. Offer some background information.
D. Make necessary comparisons for the readers.
29. Why is a car driving on water mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To stress the character of the car.
B. To show the difficulty of the process.
C. To explain the importance of speed.
D. To highlight the creativity of the finding.
30. What made scientists amazed most about the material
A. Stable function.
B. Easy conduction.
C. Structural disorder.
D. Flexible processing.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the new material
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable.
C. Neutral. D. Negative.
D
Every year, millions of birds fly between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and the Gulf of Mexico from August to November to escape cold temperatures, giving rise to an event known as the “River of Raptors”, which brings hundreds of foreign birdwatchers to the coastal area of Veracruz.
“Many of my customers have been at other famous bird migration (迁徙) sites but say they have never seen anything as grand as the ‘River of Raptors’ in Veracruz,” said Steven Koevoet, a birdwatching guide who has shown visitors places in Yucatan and Veracruz for over 25 years.
Yet the yearly event has not led to a large increase in ecotourism. Critics suggest the lack of increased ecotourism is mainly caused by Mexico’s failure to encourage tourism away from its beach resorts (旅游胜地). Environmentalists believe high levels of violence and environmentally unfriendly practices are also problems for developing ecotourism in the states of Chiapas and Veracruz. Violence has stopped birdwatching for years in some places, where the activity was an important source of income for local communities.
But, environmental groups, universities and farmers in Veracruz are trying to change this. Angel Viveros, a rancher (大农场主), uses land owned by his family for activities including birdwatching, horse riding, skydiving and hiking. Supported by the non-profit group Pronatura Veracruz, which studies and counts the birds in the yearly migration, he is now receiving hundreds of visitors yearly. Local coffee producers organize coffee tastings and educational talks about the importance of birds in spreading seeds. A green, bird-friendly stamp for those producers could be the next step. One retiree who has been visiting Veracruz since 2002 had this to say, “Apart from feeling the physical relaxation, it is like something spiritual ... there are no words to describe what it feels like to see the river of birds.”
32. What is the “River of Raptors” known for
A. The rich diversity of birds.
B. The size of birds’ migrating.
C. The number of birdwatchers.
D. The long distance of migration.
33. Why is Steven Koevoet mentioned
A. To stress the popularity of the event.
B. To explain his intention to be a guide.
C. To show his devotion to local tourism.
D. To prove the impressiveness of the event.
34. What prevents the development of ecotourism in Mexico according to critics
A. The lack of government support.
B. High levels and frequency of violence.
C. Disagreement among local communities.
D. The adoption of not eco-friendly methods.
35. What can be inferred about ecotourism from the last paragraph
A. People hold different attitudes to it.
B. Joint efforts are made to develop it.
C. It is a major source of income for the locals.
D. It has an uncertain future in Veracruz.

John and Nancy were left with their grandmother Linda after their mom was hospitalized for illness. They were curious about when they could finally see their mom. “The hospital won’t allow her to leave until all of her medical bills are settled. I have given your mom all I could, but there’s still a large amount that we need to pay off,” Linda explained. John and Nancy missed their mom a lot and wanted her to come back home as soon as possible.
“What if we put up a lemonade stand (摊位), John ” Nancy asked her older brother. “We can pick the lemons from the garden and make fresh juice out of them,” she suggested. Her brother smiled, “That’s a great idea, Nancy!” From then on, John and Nancy stayed outside the entire afternoon after school selling lemonade. A week went by, they only managed to earn ten dollars.
On Saturday morning, they sat on the side of the yard, looking worried. After a couple of seconds, their silent pondering (沉思) was interrupted by loud police sirens. “Hey, fellas!” one of the policemen greeted. “My colleague Jacob said that his neighbor had a lemonade stand in front of their yard.” The two children nodded. “I’m sorry, officer. But I didn’t think there would be anything wrong with that. Besides, we didn’t earn a lot,” John tried to explain.
“Don’t worry. You’re not in trouble. I bought a cup of it from you two the other day, remember I asked why you were selling lemonade, and you told me it was to raise funds to get your mom out of the hospital,” Jacob interrupted upon seeing John and Nancy looked nervous.
“I told my friends over here, and we decided we wanted to e to the back of the police car, and we have something to show you,” Jacob told the kids. They slowly made their way to the back of one of the police cars and saw a nicely-painted wooden lemonade stand. “That’s beautiful!” Nancy said in surprise.
