最新高考真题
1.（2024年新高考II卷）Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to
read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute,
a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like
short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched
last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call
to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about
120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
1．Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use.
C．To meet passengers’ needs. D．To reduce its running costs.
2．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A．By popularity. B．By length.
C．By theme. D．By language.
3．What has Trost been doing recently?
A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers.
C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists.
4．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline.C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase.
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打
印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持
乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。
1．推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it
tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications
officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and
it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进
入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选
择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘
车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你
可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可
以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to
submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The
winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报
亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，
获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。
4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything
they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short
stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认
为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故
事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。
2024 年高考模拟真题
（2024·辽宁辽阳·模拟预测）Leonardo da Vinci experimented with chemicals while painting some of his
答案第2页，共2页representative works — including The Mona Lisa — forming a poisonous layer hidden beneath the celebrated
art. Researchers studying a tiny microsample from a corner of the painting found a substance known as
plumbonacrite (水白铅矿), a poisonous compound (化合物) formed when oil and lead(Ⅱ) oxide (氧化铅)are
mixed together.
The Mona Lisa, and many other paintings from the Renaissance era in the early 1500s, were painted on
wooden panels. These required a thick base layer to enable artists to create their works on top. The most common
method was using a substance called gesso, which comes from plaster of Paris, but the presence of plumbonacrite
suggests Da Vinci layered his painting with lead white paint, mixed with oil infused (泡) with lead(Ⅱ) oxide.
Writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the authors said, “The most remarkable signature
in the sample is the presence of plumbonacrite, a rare compound that is stable only in an alkaline(碱性的)
environment. Leonardo probably attempted to prepare a thick paint suitable for covering the wooden panel of The
Mona Lisa by treating the oil with a high load of lead(Ⅱ) oxide. ”It is thought the lead(Ⅱ) oxide may have been
used to help the paint applied on top of it to dry.
The team reviewed Da Vinci’s writing to find reference to his use of the chemicals, but found only “unclear
references” to plumbonacrite. It seems once again the famous scholar was ahead of his time, with the technique
only found in other paintings by Rembrandt in the 1600s. Use of plumbonacrite at the time seems to have been
limited to skin and hair treatment.
In addition to The Mona Lisa analysis, the team used high-resolution analytic techniques on 17 samples
from across the surface of The Last Supper and found it also contained the same poisonous base layer.
5．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．A poisonous compound was found in The Mona Lisa.
B．Da Vinci created his painting through trial and error.
C．Researchers damaged the famous painting while studying it.
D．Da Vinci buried some poison under the painting to protect it.
6．What did Da Vinci possibly do while painting?
A．He used lead to decorate the painting.
B．He applied oil to cover the wooden panel.
C．He treated skin and hair with plumbonacrite.
D．He mixed oil and lead together to create a thick paint.
7．Why did the author mention The Last Supper?
A．To support the finding above.
B．To show how talented Da Vinci is.C．To explain the process of artwork creation.
D．To stress the importance of analytical techniques.
8．What is the best title for the text?
A．Mona Lisa, a Mysterious Woman
B．Poisonous Chemicals Help Create Artworks
C．Da Vinci, a Distinguished Painter as Well as a Chemist
D．The Mona Lisa Reveals a Poisonous Secret Hidden in the Painting
【答案】5．A 6．D 7．A 8．D

only in an alkaline(碱性的) environment. Leonardo probably attempted to prepare a thick paint suitable for
covering the wooden panel of The Mona Lisa by treating the oil with a high load of lead(Ⅱ) oxide. ”(在《美国化
学学会杂志》上，作者写道：“样本中最显著的特征是水白铅矿的存在，这是一种罕见的化合物，只在
碱性环境中稳定。达·芬奇很可能是想用高负荷的氧化铅(Ⅱ)处理油画，以制备一种适合覆盖《蒙娜丽莎》
木板的厚漆。”)”可知，达芬奇可能在油中添加了大量的氧化铅（Ⅱ）以制备一种适合覆盖《蒙娜丽莎》
木板的厚实颜料。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In addition to The Mona Lisa analysis, the team used high-resolution

（2024·安徽马鞍山·三模）About one in four Americans are physically inactive, according to data from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But for many of us, physical inactivity is not an intentional
choice. It stems from sitting all day at a desk job, driving to work because there are no suitable walking or cycling
routes. But what if the infrastructure (基础设施) around you gave you the opportunity to move your body without
taking extra time out of your day?
“An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,” said Anna Boldina, an architectural
researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the U. K. “Not only would
these active cities be full of variety, but the various elements of an active city also have their own specific
benefits: for example, stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and lower body
muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’ here and now,’ known as a stress relief.”
This all sounds great for future city design and planning, but how can we integrate these feature s into
existing city infrastructure? “The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small interventions
here and there: an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,” Boldina said.
“Sometimes it is not about adding; it is about removing. It is also important that these routes are accessible to
people of all ages and abilities.”
Of course, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, how can we encourage those who are
able to take the more physically active routes? “One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,”
Boldina said. The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut. “Other
factors included playfulness, crossing water, using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,” addedBoldina, whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes.
9．Which of the following best explains “stems from” underlined in paragraph 1?
A．Relies on. B．Is caused by. C．Mixes with. D．Is changed into.
10．What can we learn about active cities?
A．They contribute to better health. B．They offer personalized activities.
C．They rely on governmental support. D．They generally look like each other.
11．What does Boldina think matters when we transform a place into an active city?
A．Protecting the local environment. B．Adding a variety of safety equipment.
C．Making it easy for people to use. D．Designing as many routes as possible.
12．What does Boldina’s study try to find?
A．How to motivate citizens to use active routes.
B．How to make active routes functional and fun.
C．Why citizens have little interest in active routes.
D．Why Cambridge can succeed, in adopting active routcs.
【答案】9．B 10．A 11．C 12．A
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了关于如何在城市中通过设计基础设施来促进人们的身体活动的研
究和建议，介绍了剑桥大学研究人员对于“活力城市”的概念和实践。
9．词句猜测题。根据前文“But for many of us, physical inactivity is not an intentional choice.(但对于我们中
的许多人来说，缺乏运动并不是一个有意的选择)”可知，此处讲述许多人缺乏运动并不是一个有意的选择，
所以接下来应是讲述为什么，根据划线部分后文“sitting all day at a desk job, driving to work because there
are no suitable walking or cycling routes.”可推知，应是表达“它源于整天坐在办公室工作，开车上班，因
为没有合适的步行或骑自行车的路线”之意，所以stems from应是“源于”之意，和B项意思相近。故
选B项。
10．推理判断题。根据第二段““An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,” said Anna
Boldina, an architectural researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the
U. K. “Not only would these active cities be full of variety, but the various elements of an active city also have
their own specific benefits: for example, stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and
lower body muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’ here and now,’ known as a stress relief.”(“一个
答案第6页，共2页充满活力的城市会为你提供很多从A地到B地的方式，”在英国剑桥大学研究活力城市的建筑研究员兼
设计师Anna Boldina说道。“这些充满活力的城市不仅丰富多彩，而且一个充满活力的城市的各种元素
也有其独特的好处：例如，跳石可以提高各种上下肢肌肉的平衡共同激活，还可以提高‘此时此地’的
专注度和注意力，这被称为缓解压力的方法。”)”可知，一个充满活力的城市有助于增进健康。故选A项。
11．细节理解题。根据第三段““The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small
interventions here and there: an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,”
Boldina said. “Sometimes it is not about adding; it is about removing. It is also important that these routes are
accessible to people of all ages and abilities.”(“把一个地方变成充满活力的城市的最好方法就是通过在这里
和那里进行小小的干预：在草地上增加一个跳石的捷径，或者在雨水花园中增加一根额外的木
头，”Boldina说。“有时候，这并不是要增加什么，而是要移除一些东西。同样重要的是，这些路线应
该对所有年龄段和能力的人开放。”)”可知，Boldina重要的是，这些路线应该对所有年龄段和能力的人
开放，也就是让人们更容易使用。故选C项。
12．细节理解题。根据最后一段““One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,” Boldina
said. The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut. “Other factors
included playfulness, crossing water, using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,” added Boldina,
whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes.(“我们的一项研
究专门针对鼓励，”博尔迪纳说。研究发现，最有效的鼓励方式是提供一条捷径。“其他因素包括玩耍、
穿越水面、使用天然材料和增加扶手以增强信心，”Boldina补充说，他的团队目前正在与剑桥的建筑师
合作创造这种活跃的景观)”可知，Boldina的研究试图找到如何激励市民使用活跃的路线。故选A项。

本文标题。故选A。（2024·河南新乡·三模）English businessman Richard Branson made history on July 11, 2021 as he and
three other crewmates became the world’s first space tourists. The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS
Unity that was built by Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took
Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary (边界) of
space which lies 50 miles above the Earth.
At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue.
Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s
surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views.
They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at
Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it had taken off 90
minutes before.
On landing back, Branson said, “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could
prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.”
July 11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket
for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what — they will have a
choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20
on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space.
17．What is Richard Branson famous for?
A．His success in tourism.
B．His company of Virgin Galactic.
C．His spaceship named VSS Unity.
D．His first commercial space travel in history.
18．What does Branson think of his space travel?
A．Unbelievable. B．Adventurous. C．Regrettable. D．Worthless.
19．What do space tourists have to do?
A．Take a spacecraft of Virgin Galactic.
B．Pay $250,000 for the rocket tour.
C．Pass the fitness test for astronauts.
D．Line up for a position in Blue Origin.
20．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

（2024·浙江·三模）MyHeritage has announced the release of two new AI features which it promises will
‘revolutionise genealogy (系谱学)’ research, similar to how ChatGPT revolutionised searching the Internet.
The first feature, AI Record FinderTM, is an interactive chatbot that helps family historians find relevant
historical records about a person of interest within MyHeritage’s database of 20 billion records. This free-text chat
tool enables users to talk to an intelligent assistant to find information about their ancestors, relatives, or other
people who have passed away.
In addition to AI Record FinderTM, MyHeritage has also introduced AI BiographerTM, another innovativefeature that automatically generates a narrative biography about an ancestor’s life using information from
historical records that match the person. This creates a Wikipedia-like biography, which gives users a complete
understanding of their ancestor’s life story.
These two new features are integrated, allowing MyHeritage users to create an AI Biography for their
ancestors using the AI Record FinderTM. With this integration, users can easily use a conversational AI to search
for historical records. This makes it faster and easier to find information about their family members.
Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage, said of the new features, “We’re constantly pushing the
boundaries of genealogy to reinvent the way people can discover their family history as we aim to reshape
genealogy in the 21st century. Together, these advanced features strengthen MyHeritage’s position as the industry
leader for innovative genealogy and continue our mission to make family history easier, more accessible, and
more fun for everyone.” AI Record FinderTM is a disruptive feature that simplifies the way people can find
information about their ancestors by making the search easier. AI Biographert M turns a person’s life details into a
fascinating story. Not all our ancestors were famous, but they all deserve to be remembered!
21．What is a typical feature of AI Record FinderTM?
A．It updates MyHeritage’s database. B．It generates a narrative biography.
C．It narrows down the target information. D．It helps users interact with intelligent people.
22．Which of the following would Gilad Japhet probably agree with?

（2024·黑龙江大庆·模拟预测）“Palace, Mountain, Moon?” has been selected by NASA as the
Astronomical Picture of the Day for December 25, 2023.
The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of
December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving
much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been
chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible!
In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills
north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and MountainMonviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up
just right.
After pinpointing these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed
something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases and
position s reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the
Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join
the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waxing phase. This meant that in the photo,
not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light,
also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s
shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waxing Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible
because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color.
This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well.
25．Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA?
A．He took an interest in astronomical advances.
B．He expected to create an impact on social media.
C．He received broad support from enthusiastic fans.
D．He wished to make his hometown a tourist hot spot.
26．In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ______.
A．shine light on each other B．stand in a straight line
C．fit each other in size D．vary from usual in color
27．What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo?
A．Studying how the Moon phase changes. B．Calculating the Superga-Monviso distance.
C．Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle. D．Measuring the height of the observation point.
28．What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow?
A．The outline of the crescent. B．The outline of Superga.
C．The dark side of the Moon. D．The shadowed side of the Earth.

the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.(考虑到这一点，他研究了月
亮的相位，在日历上标记了可能的日期，并计划了月亮可能加入队列的确切时刻)”可知，为了拍出一张完
美的照片，瓦莱里奥研究月相的变化。故选A。
28．细节理解题。根据最后一段“That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after
him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened.(这部分是由反射
光照亮的，也被称为达·芬奇的光芒，以他的名字命名，因为他提出了月球的阴暗面为什么会变亮的理
论)”可知，达芬奇的光芒照亮了月球的阴暗面。故选C。
（2024·湖北武汉·二模）Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate
and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper.
The move comes as Peru’s national science agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other
dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry
that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating
more than 170 other researchers at a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct,
including 72 listed n the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru.
The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest
publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government
and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving
force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating
academic cheating.”
Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems.One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who
boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five
points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. A massing points
can bring bonus payments and career promotion.
Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a
Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors
from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes
20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says.
29．What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating?
A．Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty.
B．Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry.
C．Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct.
D．Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities.
30．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “transcend” in paragraph 3?
A．Change. B．Strengthen. C．Go beyond. D．Approve of.
31．What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru?
A．It advocated a fair scoring system. B．It applied to high-impact journals.
C．It led to an increase in false authorship. D．It aimed to punish dishonest publishing.
32．The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with _________.
A．career promotion B．consistent research focus
C．few citations by Punto Final D．co-authors from various countries
【答案】29．B 30．C 31．C 32．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍秘鲁准备通过新的法律，以便更容易地调查和惩罚从事学术作
弊的研究人员并解释作弊的原因和现象等。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a
national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. (它最近将两名
被指控发表不诚实文章的科学家从国家登记处除名，而国家登记处是获得政府资助、工作晋升和工资奖
金的关键。)”可知秘鲁最近采取了从国家注册中心取消2名科学家资格来解决学术作弊问题。故选B。
答案第16页，共2页30．词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding
without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the
bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic
cheating.” (因为它们使研究人员能够在不讲真话的情况下获得政府和私人资助，他是这些法案背后的推动
力量，立法者预计将在今年年初完成这些法案。“这些人在搞学术作弊。” )”由此可推断上文意思是国
会议员Edward Málaga Trillo说，不诚实的出版行为“超越了单纯的道德不端行为”，所以transcend意为
“超越”，和“Go beyond”同义，故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate
research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used
by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the
journal is lower impact. A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. (一些研究人员表示，
其中一个原因是2014年的一项法律，该法律旨在通过奖励提高论文发表量的研究人员来刺激研究。例如，
在大学使用的评分系统下，研究人员在高影响力期刊上的作者可以获得5分，在期刊影响力较低的期刊
上可以获得2分。大量的积分可以带来奖金和职业晋升。)”可知研究人员会想办法提高论文的发表量，这
样就会导致虚假作者的增加，故选C。
32．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from
different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20
articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. (Punto Final引用
的许多论文都有来自不同国家的许多共同作者，在同一主题上很少有先前的出版物。蒙特布兰科说：
“如果你的同事每年与其他国家的合著者持续发表20篇文章，那就非常值得怀疑了。”)” 可知最值得怀
疑的可能是拥有来自不同国家的合著者，故选D。
