D．Grant W.BWith pet ownership becoming more popular, being saddened by the loss of a beloved pet is becoming a terrible headache. Li Peng, a woolen felt （织物）craftswoman, has found a unique way to preserve the memory of dead pets by creating realistic woolen images.Li’s journey i nto this craft is accidental. During her college years, she majored in e-commerce and worked part time at a pet store. One day, while visiting a website, she came upon a small fox made entirely of wool. Astonished at its delicacy, she set off on a self-taught journey inthis art form. In late 2019, Li Peng made the firm decision to start her own business and pursue wool felting as a full-time profession.While a video showcasing the work may only take a few minutes to watch, the actual process is far more intricate. The three-dimensional creations feature genuine fur, lifelike glass eyes and tiny whiskers （胡须）, each one individually secured by hand. To achieve a vivid effect, she repeatedly sticks layers of wool with a needle, winding the loose fibers together to create solid felted shapes. The key is massive patience.The handcrafted creations satisfy her desire to convey love. The majority of her customers are pet owners who have experienced the loss of their beloved companions. They send Li photographs and even their pets’ hair, hoping to freeze the appearance of their furry friends through her wool felting models. Fascinated by the deep bond between people and their pets, she is committed to grabbing and investing these emotions in her artworks. And it turns out that the career is a success. Orders are often scheduled for one year later, and she has gained substantial attention through social media.Reflecting on her work, Li expresses her desire to create meaningful pieces using the warm material, offering a heartfelt gift of warmth to the beautiful souls of this world.（）4．What inspired Li Peng to take up wool felting as a careerA．A temporary job at a pet shop. B．Her self-study art course.C．A discovery of an alternative to fiber. D．A woolen creation online. （）5．What does the underlined word “intricate” mean in paragraph 3 A．Confusing. B．Efficient. C．Complicated. D．Effortless.（）6．Who are Li Peng’s primary clientsA．Conservationists of animal rights. B．Individuals fond of furry toys. C．Distributors providing personalized service. D．People suffering from pet loss.（）7．What’s the crucial factor behind Li Peng’s successA．Fair product pricing. B．Human-pet attachment.C．Smart network marketing. D．Hunger for a fine reputation.CThink you have a good grasp of English Good. Read the six sentences below, then.Sentence 1: The old man the boat.Sentence 2: The cotton clothing is made of grows in Mississippi. Sentence 3: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.Sentence 4: Fat people eat collects.Sentence 5: The man who hunts ducks out on weekends.Sentence 6: The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families.Linguists （语言学家）call these “garden path sentences”, which take you by the hand and lead you down a winding path to a dead end.Despite this, they’re all grammatically correct. Let’s see why.Sentence 1: The old man the boat.Besides sounding like a rejected Hemingway title, this sentence is indeed grammatically correct thanks to some well-placed homonyms —words that share the same spellings but have different meanings. Homonym 1 here is “old”, used as a noun, meaning “old people”; homonym 2 is “man”, used as a verb, meaning “to serve in/on”. With that in mind, the sentence means “The old people serve on the boat”.Sentence 2: The cotton clothing is made of grows in Mississippi.At first read, you’d think “is made of” is the main verb of this sentence. But it’s not. The simplest form of this sentence is “The cotton grows in Mississippi”; confusingly, “clothing is made of” is used to tell us what cotton we’re talking about. This sentence would make way more sense if written “The cotton that clothing is made of grows in Mississippi”, but English allows us to remove certain conjunctions like “that”, with its meaning maintained.Sentence 3: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.The first half of this sentence is easy to catch. So when dealing with the other half, people usually follow the structure of the first half, and it’d be understood as “fruits fly like bananas”. This is obviously unreasonable. Only when people rethink can they recognize the true meaning of the sentence. Therefore, such sentences manage to make people ignore thestructure of the sentence itself, thus departing from its original meaning. Come on! Take a walk down the garden path with the rest of the sentences.（）8．What’s the characteristic of “garden path sentences” according to linguistsA．Misleading but error-free. B．Accurate and plain.C．Improperly-worded and meaningless. D．Ungrammatical but comprehensible.（）9．Which word is an example similar to the homonym of “man” in sentence 1A．“grows” in sentence 2 . B．“eat” in sentence 4.C．“hunts” in sentence 5. D．“houses” in sentence 6.（）10．Which of the following correctly interprets “fruit flies like a ba nana” in sentence 3A．“fruit flies” refers to a sort of insect.B．“flies” serves as the verb of the sentence.C．“flies like” explains what fruit is talked about.D．“like” has the same meaning as the “like” before it.（）11．What can be the troublemaker in sentence 4A．The ill-placed verbs. B．The removal of “that”.C．The grammar mistakes. D．The lack of noun behind “collects”.DSocial media provides materialists with ideal opportunities to compare themselves with others, which makes them subject to passive and addictive user behavior. This stresses them out and, ultimately, leads to low life satisfaction, according to a new study.The researchers headed by Dr. Phillip Ozimek from Germany employed 1,230 people for their online survey. In order to participate, respondents had to visit at least one social media channel at least once a week. On average, the participants stated they spent just over two hours a day on social media.The team used six different questionnaires to determine the extent to which the participants had a materialistic attitude and tended to compare themselves with others, whether they used social media more actively or passively, whether they were addicted to social media, how stressed and how satisfied they were with their lives.“The data sh owed a stronger materialistic approach goes hand in hand with a tendency to compare oneself with others,” points out Ozimek. This comparison is easy to make on social media, primarily through passive use — by looking at the content posted by other users. Materialism and passive use were also linked to addictive use of social media.“Users are constantly thinking about the respective channels and fear they’re missing out on something if they aren’t online,” explains Ozimek.“This in turn leads to poorer ment al health like stress. The final link in the chain is reduced life satisfaction.”“Overall, the study provides further evidence that the use of social media is associated with risks, especially for people with a highly materialistic mindset,” says the psychologist. “This is particularly worrying, because social media can stimulate and increase materialistic values through influence r marketing. Meanwhile, the platforms attract materialists anyway, as they’re a perfect way to satisfy materialistic needs.”“It’s definitely a good idea to be aware of the amount of time you spend on social media and to reduce it,” recommends Ozimek, who advises against giving up social media completely. “If you did, you’re likely to over-correct.”He also suggests recording mater ialism and social media use in patients undergoing treatment for mental health disorders. “While these factors are often irrelevant, they can be a starting point for additional interventions patients can try out at home.”（）12．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text A．The Virtual World, the Real DangerB．Showing Superiority Causes Heavy Media UseC．More Social Media Materialism, Less HappinessD．Materialistic Values: A Stepping Stone to Discontent（）13．To qualify for the survey, a participant must ______.A．be a big spender B．specialize in data analysisC．be a regular social media user D．upload web surfing history（）14．What kind of feeling is expressed by Ozimek in paragraph 6 A．Pessimism. B．Sympathy. C．Shock. D．Concern.（）15．What does Ozimek propose concerning using social media A．Restricting the duration. B．Logging onto well-rated websites. C．Abandoning it for good. D．Prohibiting patients from using it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

四川省绵阳市2024届高三上学期第一次诊断性模拟测试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Women are equally responsible for the growth of a free, modern society. Here’s a look at some outstanding women who made great contributions to world history.Maria Sibylla MerianToday, children can explain how a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly (蝴蝶). But there was a time when no one knew this --not even scientists. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Merian was fascinated by insects, and she began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was as young as 13. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles.Beryl MarkhamBeryl Markham was quite incredible in not just aviation (航空) but several other industries, including horse racing. In 1936, at age 33, Markham became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone from the east to the west, nonstop. The pilot played a role in the classic best-selling novel and film, Out of Africa, and had many biographies penned about her talents and life.Madam C. J. WalkerMadam C J. Walker developed a condition that caused her to lose her hair, and with it, an interest in hair care. She began working for black hair care entrepreneur ( 企业家) Annie Turnbo Malone. Eventually, Walker began making and marketing her own hair care products designed for African-American women. Her company developed into the successful Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. She is widely recognized as America’s first black female self-made millionaire.Hedy LamarrYou might know Hedy Lamarr from the silver screen; she starred in many films. But her film career is far from her only achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she received a patent for an invention that could change radio signal frequencies. It paved the way for much of the wireless technology we use today.1、Who had a lot of enthusiasm for the study of insects?A. Hedy LamarrB. Beryl MarkhamC. Madam C. J. WalkerD. Maria Sibylla Merian2、What made Madam C. J. Walker begin to focus on the hair care?A. Her losing her hair.B. A type of hair care product.C. Annie Turnbo Malone’s success.D. Her wish to help African Americans.3、What is special about Hedy Lamar?A. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone.B. She was both a film star and an inventor.C. She was a successful businesswoman.D. She was a best-selling writer.When Virginia Norwood was in high school in the 1940s, her guidance teacher advised her to become a librarian instead of a physicist. Luckily, she ignored him. “I was always enthusiastic about mathematical problems and physics,” said Norwood. Also, her father, an electrical engineer, was very important to her. By 1972, Norwood, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate and engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company, had designed a vital component of Landsat 1, the first satellite launched into space to monitor Earth’s surface. Satellites in the Landsat series still provide valuable data to scientists worldwide and Landsat 9 was successfully launched on 27 September, 2021, almost 50 years after the first one.Norwood’s contribution was the multispectral scanner (多光谱扫描仪) 一a sensor thatenergy reflected from Earth and could transmit (传输) data digitally to researchers on the ground. The scanner enabled scientists to track forest loss, crop productivity, and the spread of deserts, and to map inaccessible features of Earth’s physical structures such as glaciers and ice sheets. “She cleared the way for an entire generation of... Earth observation instruments,”says NASA’s Jeffrey Masek, a Landsat proje ct scientist.Norwood’s device was included in the first several satellites launched through the Landsat program, a joint effort by NASA and the US Geological Survey. Other satellites have since surpassed the Landsat series in resolution and scanning abilities, but the continuity of the Landsat database over the decades makes it a gold standard in Earth imaging.4、What inspired Norwood to pursue physics?A. Her interest in the subject.B. Her father’s job as a physicist.C. Her guidance teacher’s advice.D. Her enthusiasm about the Landsat program.5、What does the underlined word “calibrated” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Detected.B. Described.C. Adjusted.D. Reflected.6、What is the author’s attitude towards the Landsat series?A. Appreciative.B. Contradictory.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.7、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. A Joint Effort to Monitor Earth’s SurfaceB. Meet the Landsat Pioneer-Virginia NorwoodC. A Great Contribution-the Multispectral ScannerD. Satellites Launched Through the Landsat ProgramLondon Mayor Sadiq Khan’s announcement that all primary school pupils in the city will receive free school meals from September is a welcome move amid rising food and energy prices. The £130 million plan rejects means-testing (经济状况调查) in favor of a universal scheme, which many see as a smart political move and a good policy. Universal public services such as this create shared understanding and gain political legitimacy, as they enable individuals to live at a reasonable standard.The current tax and benefit system in the UK leaves millions of children in poverty and hunger, and means-testing is neither fair nor efficient. Parents claiming universal credit in England must have a household income of less than £7,400 to qualify for free school meals. An estimated 800,000 children living in poverty do not get free school meals due to the eligibility criteria being so restrictive. Another 200,000 are eligible but have not accessed them because enrolment is not automatic.The initiative has been welcomed by many for its potential to reduce child obesity rates and improve pupil attainment. The Impact on Urban Health thinktank estimates that making free school meals universal will generate £1.71 in economic and social benefits for every £1 invested.Unfortunately, the government seems more interested in rationing access to welfare than helping people get the support they need. Means-testing is often justified on the grounds that it diverts resources to the most needy, but this argument falls apart when thousands of children are going hungry and struggling to learn at school.The move towards universal free school meals in London is a step in the right direction and shows an appetite for experimentation necessary to flesh out the future of the post-Covid welfare state. While some parents on higher salaries may benefit, focusing on this would be missing the point: universal services pay for themselves. By investing in our children’swellbeing and education, we create a healthier, more prosperous soc iety for everyone. It’s time to reject the divisive politics of means-testing and embrace universal public services that benefit us all.8、What is the aim of London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan?A. To reduce child obesity rates.B. To improve pupils’ achievement in primary schools.C. To help pupils from poor families handle hunger.D. To ensure means-testing an access to free school meals.9、Why do many people view the universal scheme as a good policy?A. It creates more jobs.B. It benefits individuals.C. It is a divisive politics of means-testing.D. It generates economic and social benefits.10、Why is means-testing an inefficient means to address children’s hunger?A. It runs without political legitimacy.B. The qualification criteria are too restrictive.C. The argument about means-testing falls apart.D. It doesn’t include the current tax and benefit system.11、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Obstacles to Universal Free School Meals in LondonB. The Pros and Cons of Means-Testing for Free School MealsC. A Plan to Provide Free School Meals to Pupils in LondonD. The Impact of Universal Public Services on Poverty and HungerAncient Fish Returns to Illinois WatersThe Illinois Department of Natural Resources is returning a fish called the alligator gar to the state’s rivers. Some people call the fish a “living fossil.” Experts believe the fish first appeared during the Early Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago.Randy Sauer is an Illinois state fisheries biologist. He says the fish disappeared from the state’s rivers in the 1990s, although they have continued to do well in southern states. Sauer says biologists want to bring the fish back to northern rivers “because it is important to have top predators to balance the species below them,” he said.Sport fishermen like to try to catch the alligator gar. Alligator gar are the second-largest freshwater fish in North America. They can grow as large as 2.7 meters and weigh more than136 kilograms. Sauer says their large size is one reason they disappeared in the 1990s. Experts say alligator gars are “opportunistic feeders.” This means they will eat almost anything --including small turtles or ducks. They also eat invasive species such as Asian and silver carp.Sauer hopes the re-introduction of the alligator gar will help the state’s efforts to control the carp. Because gar can live up to 60 years, the program will continue to increase for many years.Sauer notes that female alligator gars do “not sexually matu re until 11 years, and the male not till 6 or 7 years.” That means the biologists will try to raise and release a lot of fish early in the program to re-introduce them.Small devices have been placed in 7,000 of the fish so they can be observed after they are released into the waterways of Illinois. As it rains and floods, biologists expect some of the fish will follow the rivers into the states of Louisiana and Texas.12、Why people call the alligator gar “living fossil”?A. They can grow up to 2.7 meters.B. They can grow up to 136 kilograms.C. Their fossil can be found on earth.D. They have existed for over 100 million years.13、Biologists will bring the alligator gar back to northern rivers in order to _______.A. keep the species balance.B. help people make more money.C. help to protect the environment.D. increase the number of the alligar gar.14、According to Randy Sauer, alligar gar died out in northern rivers probably because _______.A. they ate almost anything.B. they were caught by sport fishermen.C. they were very huge in size.D. the rivers were polluted then.15、What can we learn from the underlined statement?A. It will be decades before these fish produce young.B. There is a long way to go before the fish find each other.C. 10 or 20 years will be needed to find these fish.D. These fish can find each other themselves along the waterways.二、七选五16、EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. ①______ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. ②______There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. ③______ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. ④______ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. ⑤______ To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,”Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.三、完形填空（20空）I love roller coasters.
