2024年高考模拟真题
（2024·辽宁辽阳·模拟预测）Lenard da Vinci experimented with chemicals while painting sme f his representative wrks — including The Mna Lisa — frming a pisnus layer hidden beneath the celebrated art. Researchers studying a tiny micrsample frm a crner f the painting fund a substance knwn as plumbnacrite (水白铅矿), a pisnus cmpund (化合物) frmed when il and lead(Ⅱ) xide (氧化铅)are mixed tgether.
The Mna Lisa, and many ther paintings frm the Renaissance era in the early 1500s, were painted n wden panels. These required a thick base layer t enable artists t create their wrks n tp. The mst cmmn methd was using a substance called gess, which cmes frm plaster f Paris, but the presence f plumbnacrite suggests Da Vinci layered his painting with lead white paint, mixed with il infused (泡) with lead(Ⅱ) xide.
Writing in the Jurnal f the American Chemical Sciety, the authrs said, “The mst remarkable signature in the sample is the presence f plumbnacrite, a rare cmpund that is stable nly in an alkaline(碱性的) envirnment. Lenard prbably attempted t prepare a thick paint suitable fr cvering the wden panel f The Mna Lisa by treating the il with a high lad f lead(Ⅱ) xide. ”It is thught the lead(Ⅱ) xide may have been used t help the paint applied n tp f it t dry.
The team reviewed Da Vinci’s writing t find reference t his use f the chemicals, but fund nly “unclear references” t plumbnacrite. It seems nce again the famus schlar was ahead f his time, with the technique nly fund in ther paintings by Rembrandt in the 1600s. Use f plumbnacrite at the time seems t have been limited t skin and hair treatment.
In additin t The Mna Lisa analysis, the team used high-reslutin analytic techniques n 17 samples frm acrss the surface f The Last Supper and fund it als cntained the same pisnus base layer.
5．What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A．A pisnus cmpund was fund in The Mna Lisa.

This all sunds great fr future city design and planning, but hw can we integrate these feature s int existing city infrastructure? “The best way t transfrm a place int an active city is thrugh small interventins here and there: an extra stepping stne shrtcut acrss the grass r extra lg acrss the rain garden,” Bldina said. “Smetimes it is nt abut adding; it is abut remving. It is als imprtant that these rutes are accessible t peple f all ages and abilities.”
Of curse, if there are always less challenging alternatives available, hw can we encurage thse wh are able t take the mre physically active rutes? “One f ur studies was aimed specifically at encuragement,” Bldina said. The study fund that the mst effective means f encuragement was prviding a shrtcut. “Other factrs included playfulness, crssing water, using natural materials and adding handrails fr cnfidence,” added Bldina, whse grup is currently wrking with architects in Cambridge t create such active landscapes.

【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 fr many f us, physical inactivity is nt an intentinal chice.(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 jb, driving t wrk because there are n suitable walking r cycling rutes.”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 frm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 wuld ffer yu lads f ways t get frm A t B,” said Anna Bldina, an architectural researcher and designer wh studies active cities at the University f Cambridge in the U. K. “Nt nly wuld these active cities be full f variety, but the varius elements f an active city als have their wn specific benefits: fr example, stepping stnes imprve balanced c-activatin f a variety f upper and lwer bdy muscles as well as mindfulness and cncentratin n’ here and nw,’ knwn as a stress relief.”(“一个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 Bldina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 t transfrm a place int an active city is thrugh small interventins here and there: an extra stepping stne shrtcut acrss the grass r extra lg acrss the rain garden,” Bldina said. “Smetimes it is nt abut adding; it is abut remving. It is als imprtant that these rutes are accessible t peple f 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，”Bldina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，Bldina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 f ur studies was aimed specifically at encuragement,” Bldina said. The study fund that the mst effective means f encuragement was prviding a shrtcut. “Other factrs included playfulness, crssing water, using natural materials and adding handrails fr cnfidence,” added Bldina, whse grup is currently wrking with architects in Cambridge t 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，”Bldina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，Bldina的研究试图找到如何激励市民使用活跃的路线。故选A项。

The mve cmes as Peru’s natinal science agency seeks t crack dwn n authrship buying and ther dishnest practices. It recently remved tw scientists accused f dishnest publicatins frm a natinal registry that is key t receiving gvernment spnsr, jb prmtins, and salary bnuses. And fficials are investigating mre than 170 ther researchers at a Peruvian media reprt claimed were invlved in academic miscnduct, including 72 listed n the natinal registry wh wrk at 14 universities in Peru.
The new laws will empwer universities and gvernment fficials t punish such behavir. Dishnest publishing practices “transcend mere mral misbehavir” because they enable researchers t btain gvernment and private funding withut telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trill, a member f Cngress wh is the driving frce behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected t finalize early this year. “These individuals are perating academic cheating.”
Peru’s academic cmmunity has been struggling with a rising tide f false authrship and related prblems. One cause, sme researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed t stimulate research by rewarding researchers wh bst their publishing utput. Fr example, under a scring system used by universities, researchers can earn five pints fr authrship in a high-impact jurnal, and tw pints when the jurnal is lwer impact. A massing pints can bring bnus payments and career prmtin.
Signs f dishnest publishing can be bvius, ntes Nahuel Mnteblanc, president f Cientifics. pe, a Peruvian grup that investigates miscnduct. Many f the papers cited by Punt Final have numerus c-authrs frm different natins with few prir publicatins n the same subject. “If yur clleague cnsistently publishes 20 articles a year with c-authrs frm ther cuntries, that’s highly suspect,” Mnteblanc says.
