2024届山西省省际名校高三下学期联考三（押题卷）英语试题一、阅读理解New York City has many remarkable parks and open spaces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby.Louis Valentino, Jr. ParkDon’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.Riverside ParkStretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon.Central ParkThere are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen.Ridgewood ReservoirAt Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.1．What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?A．Louis Valentino, Jr. Park.B．Ridgewood Reservoir.C．Riverside Park.D．Central Park.2．What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?A．It features a bike path for leisurely rides.B．It provides various sandwich options at Rolo’s.C．It is known for its iconic status and historic landmarks.D．It provides a scenic walk with options for bird watching.3．Where is this article most likely sourced from?A．An online cooking advertisement.B．A local New York City travel guide.C．The lifestyle section of a local newspaper.D．An official tourism design for New York City.Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.” He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits.The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning.Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools.Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them withthe kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filled childhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.4．What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?A．To generate profit from selling Lego sets.B．To recycle old Lego pieces and reduce waste.C．To compete with other Lego manufacturers.D．To promote the use of Legos in professional settings.5．Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?A．Forcing.B．Preventing.C．Urging.D．Expecting. 6．How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?A．By relying on community contributions.B．By investing in appropriate packaging materials.C．By securing financial support through various means.D．By distributing with charitable organizations nationwide.7．What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?A．Establishing a sustainable company.B．Earning recognition for his dedication.C．Enhancing personal satisfaction and growth.D．Sharing Lego joy with many children and families.If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool.A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler.The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℃) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, whilethe 2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”.We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning.“Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”8．What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?A．Green spaces help keep people cool.B．Wetlands and rain gardens are less effective.C．Botanical gardens are the best way to stay cool.D．More trees in urban areas mean cooler temperatures.9．Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?A．To discuss specific consequences of heatwaves.B．To emphasize the widespread impact of urban heat.C．To illustrate the seriousness of heatwaves with examples.D．To provide context for temperature records and their impacts.10．What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?A．The significance of global research support.B．The variety of cooling methods available.C．The requirement for universal cooling solutions.D．The importance of tailoring solutions to fit local needs.11．What might be a suitable title for the passage?A．The Cooling Power of Urban Green SpacesB．The Economic and Health Impacts of HeatwavesC．Innovative Architectural Solutions for Urban CoolingD．The Role of Botanical Gardens in Urban Temperature RegulationA team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories.Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions.Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding” method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff.This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C．Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights.So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future. 12．What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?A．A type of computer virus that attacks AI systems.B．A new technology for making computers run faster.C．A component in AI models that predicts future events.D．A part of the human brain involved in learning and memory.13．What did the team discover about Transformer?A．It directly mimics the brain’s memory process.B．It is unaffected by changes in memory settings.C．It uses a special method to manage memory.D．It requires adjustments to enhance long-term memory.14．What is the significance of the research findings according to C．Justin LEE?A．It is a new approach to memory organization.B．It is a crucial step in advancing AI and neuroscience.C．It is a method for improving short-term memory in AI.D．It is a breakthrough in understanding AI emotional processing.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Exploring the NMDA receptor in the brain.B．Discussing implications of neuroscience for AI.C．Comparing computer and human memory processes.D．Discovering similarities between AI and human memory.How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsThere’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking:Be careful16 . One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop to think before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 17 .Ask open-ended questions“Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 18 . Digging deepercan help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions.Learn to be quietActive listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 19 . If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions.Put it downRecording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 20 . Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.A．Comparing different views helps you learnB．There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of doubtC．It helps you avoid being misled by inaccurate informationD．It involves focusing on details and valuing others’ opinionsE．Try to engage with people who help you develop your ideasF．The act of recording ideas on paper can also improve your memoryG．Instead, ask open-ended questions that force you to engage in analysis二、完形填空One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.

newsreport第一篇：news reportReturn the Money Found: Ordinary News in Extraordinary TimeThe society calls for good people and good deeds, such as a pupil’s returning the money found.Meanwhile it is the media that should help with dissemination.“You are the youngest good person I have met in my past eight decades.” These are the words from a letter of thanks written by a retired teacher, Cheng Shuning, and sent to a third-grade pupil studying in the Affiliated School of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Zhang Weixin.It is the pupil who picked up the wallet which the old woman lost in the end of last November.Zhang handed in the wallet with 4000 yuan to his class teacher once he had found it.When Cheng happily got the lost-and-found, she insisted on giving Zhang 500 yuan in return which, however, Zhang refused to accept.Because of his honesty, Zhang was highly praised.Though this piece of news has nothing special, it is in the spotlight when the society is undergoing a moral crisis shown by a series of events.For example, early this year a 2-year-old girl named Yueyue was hit by two vehicles and ignored by 18 passers-by, and five years ago a man helped a woman to the hospital after she had fallen, only to have the woman accuse him of kncoking her over.All these including what happended in our daily life have disappointed all of the kind-hearted people and reinforced people’s wariness to help others in like situations.However, Z hang’s good deed reminds people of the kindness among people, at least among the young who are the hope for the future.People should not forget that virtue has itsown reward.Indeed everyone is responsible to improve the morality of the society, especially the media.The media might want to report the eye-catching isolated phenomena in order to stimulate the sales.Nevertheless, this type of news does harm to people’s faith at the same time.The result is that people shy away helping each other because they are afraid of the possible outcome, although knowing that the negative news reported accounts for only a small percentage.People’s faith to the society is vital for the development of humanity.Before the harm is irredeemable, the media should spare no effort to disseminate good people and good deeds.第二篇：英语newsreport底稿校园news播报主持A 主持B Part：学生街安全问题：情侣A(男)B（女）在逛学生街。

Divorce risk for couples sharing chores平分家务的夫妻离婚率高Divorce rates are far higher among “modern” couples who share the housework than in those where the woman does the lion‟s share of the chores, a Norwegian study has found.挪威一项最新调查表明，共同分担家务的“现代”夫妇的离婚率比妻子承担绝大部分家务的夫妇高得多。

In what appears to be a slap in the face for gender equality, the report found the divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work.调查报告显示，共同分担家务的夫妇离婚率比妻子承担绝大部分家务的夫妇高出50%。

这好似给了性别平等的理念当头一棒。

“What we‟ve seen is that sharing equal responsibility for work in the home doesn‟t necessarily contribute to contentment,” said Thomas Hansen, co-author of the study entitled “Equality in the Home”.研究报告的合著者托马斯-汉森说：“从调查可以看出，在家里共同分担家务并不一定会提高婚姻满足感。

”这份报告名为《家庭生活中的平等》。

The lack of correlation between equality at home and quality of life was surprising, the researcher said.汉森表示，夫妻关系的平等和生活质量几乎没有关系，这很令人吃惊。

There were a lot of descriptions to show what the characters are feeling. There are also many detailed descriptions of the environments around the characters. For example, Moyes writes "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…"，describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well, just live" in a letter. This short line is the last thing that Will writes to Lou. It shows Will's deep feelings about life.

The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices are buffeted by，floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid-century，the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed，and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night，but according to the needs of the plants.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.7. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means_____ .A. badly influencedB. causedC. dividedD. well achieved8. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?A. The temperature is often changed.B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.C. Day and night depends on plants.D. Air quality is controlled by plants.9. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .A. is of great help to the people who live in the cityB. saves less water compared with outdoor agricultureC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. requires much space and suits the production of corn10. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disadvantages of outdoor farmingB. Development of greenhouse farmingC. The world's food problemsD. Sunless，rainless indoor farming四、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）36.

These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. La rson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). ‘I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said.Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat –an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.单选：1-5 ABCBD 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 DBBDC完形1-5 BCDBA 6-10 CACBA阅读BDA ACB ACAD词汇36.controlling 37.discussed 38.customers’ 39.achievement 40.repairing41.nineties 42.happiness 43.impatient 44.decision 45.inventors’首字母46.Of 47.poor 48. with e 50.Saying51.from 52. doubted 53. tired 54. great 55.realized任务型阅读56. leave57. be/become58. creates59. succeed60. donated61. speed62. refused63. sure/certain64. remain/stay65. confident写作例文Dear Amy,I’m really happy to have your email. Thanks for your care. The epidemic situation is really serious. I haven’t been out for days. I've been staying at home because it’s the safest way. So have other people. If we go out, we must wear a mask, and when we come back, we must take our temperature at the gate of the communities. All the doctors and nurses are fighting with the novel coronavirus all day and all night on the front lines. And I believe we can defeat it in the near future. Because I believe that as long as we work together, nothing is impossible.Although the school has not started yet, we have been studying at home all the time. The teachers give us lessons online and help us solve problems. This way is more convenient for me, because I don't have to waste time on my way to school, and I can have more time to study. I have been reviewing all the lessons carefully every day, preparing for the entrance examination of my senior high school.I hope you can also take care of your health and keep healthy.Yours,Li Hua。

总结Young people who commit serious crimes, such as a robbery or a violent attack should be punished in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree?Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that they are the best people to talk to school students the danger of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree?People are afraid to leave their homes for fear of crimes. Some people believe that more action should be taken to prevent crimes while others think that little could be done. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.Children are committing more crimes. What are the causes? How to punish them?Some think most crime is the result of circumstances e.g. poverty and other social problems. Other believe that most crime is caused by people who are bad by nature.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.In most countries, prison is an effective solution to the problem of crime. Some people think it is a more effective solution to provide education for those who violate the law.To what extent do you agree or disagree?A recent newspaper article report that a 14 years old boy who seriously destroyed his school got a punishment to clean streets instead of being sent to the prison, Do you think this is right, or the young criminals should be sent to the jail?12015/4/25；2015/6/18; 2013/11/9（3次）青少年犯罪是否该受到与成年⼈⼀样的惩罚？22015/8/8请改造过后的犯⼈给学⽣讲犯罪的危害，可否？32015/8/29; 2012/11/3（2次）我们已经没有办法阻⽌犯罪吗？42014/8/2; 2010/8/5（2次）⼉童犯罪增多的原因，怎样处罚他们？52014/11/8犯罪的原因到底是社会原因还是⼈性原因？62012/5/12还有⽐监狱更好的办法来解决犯罪问题吗？72016/1/14青少年损坏公物后被罚扫街，这种处罚合适吗？It is argued that, when a teenager commits a crime, even a serious crime such as robbery or sexual molestation, he should not be given the same punishment as an adult criminal. Instead of being put into prison, as these people would suggest, the young criminal should be ordered to do some community services so that they can learn from their mistakes. Quite contrary to this popular belief, I think all criminals, no matter how young they are, should be put into jail and how long they should stay there depends on the severity of their crime.Firstly, prison is a good place for young people to think again what wrong they have done to other people. When put into jail, the young people will have little to do but read and think about their past. There are also many people who will help the young people understand why what they have done before is not socially acceptable. In this way, these young criminals will have a better chance to come back to normal life. On the contrary, if they are just ordered to community services, they may very likely end up repeating their mistakes.Secondly, for these young criminals, their experience in prison may help prevent them from committing more crimes. Once they have been put into jail, they will never forget this experience. So, next time when they think of doing anything wrong, their memory of the prison will immediately return and then they may stop. The memory of doing community services, I believe, does not have this function.Therefore, my opinion is that, like an adult law violator, the teenager should also go to prison when he commits serious crimes because this experience in prison may enable them to become a better person. Other forms of punishment may be useful, yet I do not think they are as effective as prison.

Instead of being put into prison, as these people would suggest, the young criminal should be ordered to do some community services so that they can learn from their mistakes. Quite contrary to this popular belief, I think all criminals, no matter how young they are, should be put into jail and how long they should stay there depends on the severity of their crime.有些⼈认为，当青少年犯罪，即使是诸如抢劫和性骚扰等很严重的罪⾏，他们不应该与成年罪犯受到同样的惩罚。
