B “Why?” It’s a simple question that people ask Angela Madeline frequently. After all, she began a journey that very few people would ever attempt: walk around the world alone. The thought of Madeline’s journey did not start from a place of loss or personal crisis. She said, “I was searching for a deeper interaction with nature and people.” Walking would minimize her carbon footprint, plus the slow pace meant that she could fully engage herself in nature, and gain insights into other cultures in a unique way. She left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, on 2 May 2016 and headed into an adventure. Along the way, Madeline would suffer from heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and hear gunshots while camping in Turkey. “Still,” she said, “I didn’t stop because I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.” Apart from that, her slow pace allowed her to be drawn deeply into other cultures. She wandered the tiny seaside villages along Italy Tyrthenian Sea, enjoying the lively atmosphere. In Vietnam, she was offered food by an elderly woman and invited to rest in her wooden house at the peak for the night. She chose an experience of uncertainty and curiosity, in search of something she could never be certain to find: a sense of fulfillment and a deeper connection. On16 December 2022, Madeline’s pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) ended right where it started. For now, she’s working on a book, planning future journeys and creating more effective ways for women to find and express courage in their lives. Whether a walk leads halfway around the world or just down the road, Madeline has shown the true worth of embracing (拥抱) the unknown and giving more than we receive along the way. 4．Why did Madeline decide to start her journey? A．To get rid of personal crisis. B．To get closer to the world. C．To reduce carbon footprint. D．To slow down the pace of life. 5．What can we know about Madeline during the journey? A．She was about to give up. B．She was helped by Italian locals. C．She experienced various cultures. D．She enjoyed Australian coastal scenery. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Madeline? A．Cautious and gentle. B．Tough and adventurous. C．Outgoing and generous. D．Open-minded and humorous. 7．What’s this text mainly about? A．A new way to slow down life. B．A closer connection with the wild. C．An unforgettable memory of a trip. D．A woman walking around the world. C We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that along with the rapid development of society, we all focus on our phone and desktop, and therefore it results in our compromised conversational intelligence. However, it’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for small conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn.“But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 8．What does the underlined word “compromised” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Weakened. B．Enhanced. C．Secret. D．Natural. 9．What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A．Showing good manners. B．Relating to other people. C．Focusing on a topic. D．Making business deals. 10．What can we learn about small talk from the coffee shop study? A．It made the coffee taste better. B．It reduced waiting time in line. C．It improved people’s mood and experience. D．It helped them bond with the server deeply. 11．What is the text mainly about? A．Elevator manners. B．The importance of small talk. C．Smartphones and social media. D．Developing deep relationships. D Kenya is home to Africa’s predators (捕食者), particularly lions, which frequently hunt farmers’ livestock (牲畜). To protect their animals, farmers often use poisons. While these have been successful in protecting farmers’ livestock, their use has resulted in a sharp decline in the lion population, which stands at just 2,500 now. At the age of nine, Turere was asked to care for his father’s cattle beside Nairobi National Park, one of Kenya’s most famous wilderness areas, where people frequently experienced conflicts with lions. Turere couldn’t bear to see lions harmed by humans when lions hunted cows, because he loved these creatures deeply. Determined to find a solution benefiting both local farmers and wildlife, Turere started experimenting. But no way worked at first. The only thing that worked later was when he wandered around the livestock pen with a torch in hand. The sight of him walking around at night with a light made the animals runaway. This inspired Turere to develop the Lion Lights system, a series of flashing LED lights strategically placed on the cattle fences to scare away predators. “The lights flash irregularly to trick lions into thinking that someone is walking around with a flashlight. Thanks to it, we went from losing three cows a week to none,” says Turere. This innovative solar-powered light system—which can also run on wind power—costs just $20.5 per unit, making it affordable and eco-friendly. Turere’s invention is not only protecting the livelihoods of local communities, it, is also changing the viewpoints of local communities on wild life. “Since the introduction of the Lion Lights system, there have been no predator-related incidents. As a result, local people no longer view wildlife as the enemy,” he notes. “This is great news for these wonderful animals as it means that local communities are more open to wildlife conservation.” 12．What is the problem with farmers using poisons in Kenya? A．It threatens the lion’s survival. B．It often harms their livestock. C．It arouses the public’s opposition. D．It damages the local environment. 13．Why did Turere perform the experiments? A．To take good care of his father’s cattle. B．To stop farmers from hunting lions. C．To protect the livestock from being killed. D．To find ways for farmers and lions to coexist. 14．What do we know about the Lion Lights System? A．It can keep domestic animals from running away. B．It works with all the lights on all the time. C．It’s inexpensive and environmentally friendly. D．Only three cows have been lost since it was used. 15．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A．Exploring the world is a must for children. B．Local communities have been preserving the wildlife. C．Protecting the livestock of local communities is the top priority. D．Turere’s invention contributed to wildlife conservation. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The kitchen, often referred to as the heart of the home, is a place where delicious meals are prepared, cherished memories are made, and families are united. 16 .

She was fearless where I was anxious, rebellious where I was conservative, and 21 where I was awkward. She was also entirely imaginary. With Gemma’s support, I almost made it to the top shelf of the bookcase before my parents found me — and “Gemma said it was fine!” did not 22 me from a telling-off (责骂). I cannot remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I do not remember the 23 time I “saw” her. 24 my brain created her, she inspired me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her. It 25 me, then, that 72 percent of nursery workers believe children have fewer imaginary friends than they did five years ago, as is shown by a recent survey. This is believed to be a result of 26 screen time. It is thought that 40 percent of us at one time or another had imaginary friends during our 27 . In an essay for Aeon, writer Sophie Elmhirst found that 81 percent of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned ten, but most of these friendships ended 28 . Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us for as long as we need them. They move on when our lives become too 29 for our brains to make space to generate their own entertainment. If you have enjoyed an imaginary friendship, I would guess that you did not 30 sit down to create a perfect pal. They probably arrived as an indication of the thoughts and ideas you never knew you had. In order to be a good 31 to an imaginary friend, you need to be able to make “what if?” into an exciting proposition. When we grow up, we are too quick to finish the sentence with “what if it goes wrong?” Having grown up, we might not need our imaginary friends anymore, but we could still use a reminder that a little bit of boredom is good for us, and that our brains can create the best ideas when they are left to their own devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends 32 the worlds where our children live, that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers. This is a real cause for 33 . As an adult, I think of my fearless, invisible friend Gemma whenever I have to do something that 34 me — usually public speaking, rather than scaling a bookcase. However, whenever I 35 my own expectations and meet myself in a place that I did not think I could quite reach, I can hear my subconscious whispering, “Gemma made me do it.” 21．A．adaptable B．generous C．disturbing D．skillful 22．A．benefit B．conceal C．ban D．save 23．A．first B．last C．latest D．previous 24．A．As if B．As long as C．Even though D．Given that 25．A．convinces B．recalls C．reminds D．saddens 26．A．easy B．decreased C．hard D．increased 27．A．adolescence B．adulthood C．babyhood D．childhood 28．A．accidentally B．dramatically C．naturally D．unfortunately 29．A．secure B．instructive C．full D．productive 30．A．consciously B．invisibly C．personally D．realistically 31．A．boss B．companion C．expert D．instructor 32．A．challenging B．limiting C．locating D．populating 33．A．boredom B．concern C．imagination D．limitation 34．A．defeats B．encourages C．inspires D．scares 35．A．am short of B．go against C．go beyond D．live up to 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Dragon-Head-Raising Festival falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, with the dragon 36 (wake) up from its winter hibernation (冬眠) and after the day, rainfall increases.

While these have been successful in protecting farmers’ livestock, their use has resulted in a sharp decline in the lion population, which stands at just 2,500 now.

Encourage them to engage in safe cooking activities under the eyes of an adult to develop their interest in cooking.(教育孩子关于厨房安全的知识，让他们意识到厨房的潜在风险是很重要的。远离热的表面、锋利的工具和电器，防止事故发生。鼓励他们在成人的监督下进行安全的烹饪活动，以培养他们对烹饪的兴趣)”表明应监督孩子在厨房里的安全，D选项“不管怎样，不要把孩子们单独留在厨房里”也表示应看管好孩子，注意孩子的安全，语境一致。故选D。 21．D 22．D 23．B 24．C 25．D 26．D 27．D 28．C 29．C 30．A 31．B 32．D 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过回忆与童年时期想象中的朋友Gemma的种种互动，突出了她对自己勇敢、探索等精神的影响，以及对自己自信心的培养。然而，作者也指出了调查显示的现实情况：越来越多的孩子缺乏想象中的朋友，部分原因是屏幕时间的增加。作者认为想象中的朋友可能是孩子们生活中的一种调剂，在他们需要时出现，但随着生活变得更加忙碌和充实，这种友谊也逐渐消失。作者提醒读者想象中的朋友对孩子很重要，因为这有助于创造出最好的想法。 21．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我焦虑，她无所畏惧；我保守，她叛逆；我笨拙，她技艺娴熟。A. adaptable适应性强的；B. generous慷慨的；C. disturbing令人不安的；D. skillful熟练的。根据上文“She was fearless where I was anxious, rebellious where I was conservative”可知，Gemma和作者的性格特征是相反的，再结合“where I was awkward”可推知，和“笨拙”相对的应该是skillful“熟练的”。故选D。 22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在Gemma的支持下，在我父母发现我之前，我几乎爬到了书架的顶层——“Gemma说没问题！”也没能使我免于挨骂。A. benefit使受益；B. conceal隐瞒；C. ban禁止；D. save避免。根据上文“I almost made it to the top shelf of the bookcase before my parents found me”可知，小时候的作者很大胆地爬到了书架的顶层，这是危险的行为，由此推知，“Gemma说没问题！”这句话没能使作者免于挨骂，固定短语save sb. from sth.表示“使某人免于某事”。故选D。 23．考查序数词和形容词词义辨析。句意：我不记得我是什么时候、怎样“遇见”Gemma的，也许更可悲的是，我不记得我最后一次“见到”她是什么时候。A. first第一的；B. last最后的；C. latest最新的；D. previous之前的。根据上文“I cannot remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still”可知，此处描述比不记得是什么时候、怎样“遇见”Gemma的状况还可悲的情形，结合“time I “saw” her”可推知，这种情形是不记得最后一次“见到”她是什么时候。故选B。 24．考查连接词词义辨析。句意：尽管我的大脑创造了她，但她激励我去冒险，如果没有她，我是没有信心开始的。A. As if仿佛；B. As long as只要；C. Even though尽管；D. Given that鉴于。“my brain created her”表示作者的大脑创造了她，“she inspired me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her”表示她激励作者去冒险，如果没有她，作者是没有信心开始的，即Gemma让作者受益良多，前后有让步关系，应用Even though“尽管”引导让步状语从句。故选C。 25．考查动词词义辨析。句意：最近的一项调查显示，72%的托儿所工作人员认为孩子们的想象中的朋友比五年前少了，这让我很难过。A. convinces说服；B. recalls回忆；C. reminds提醒；D. saddens使难过。根据下文“that 72 percent of nursery workers believe children have fewer imaginary friends than they did five years ago”可知，72%的托儿所工作人员认为孩子们的想象中的朋友比五年前少了，结合上文描述的作者从Gemma那里学到很多可推知，这一调查结果让作者很难过。故选D。 26．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这被认为是由于屏幕时间增加。A. easy容易的；B. decreased减少的；C. hard困难的；D. increased增加的。根据下文“screen time”和生活常识可推知，当今时代屏幕时间增加，孩子们会沉浸在屏幕世界中，因此想象中的朋友会减少。故选D。 27．考查名词词义辨析。句意：据信，40%的人在童年时期都有过想象中的朋友。A. adolescence青春期；B. adulthood成年；C. babyhood婴儿期；D. childhood童年。根据下文“In an essay for Aeon, writer Sophie Elmhirst found that 81 percent of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned ten”可知，81%的受访者在10岁后“失去”了他们想象中的朋友，因此是在童年时期有过想象中的朋友。故选D。 28．考查副词词义辨析。句意：作家Sophie Elmhirst在为Aeon杂志撰写的一篇文章中发现，81%的受访者在10岁后“失去”了他们想象中的朋友，但这些友谊大多数都是自然结束的。A. accidentally意外地；B. dramatically戏剧性地；C. naturally自然地；D. unfortunately不幸地。根据上文“writer Sophie Elmhirst found that 81 percent of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned ten”和表示转折意义的“but”可推知，虽然大多数孩子会在10岁后“失去”了他们想象中的朋友，但这种结束是自然发生的。故选C。 29．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当我们的生活变得过于充实，我们的大脑无法腾出空间来产生自己的娱乐时，他们就会离开。A. secure安全的；B. instructive有教育意义的；C. full充实的；D. productive富有成效的。根据下文“for our brains to make space to generate their own entertainment”和生活常识可推知，当我们长大，生活变得过于充实，我们的大脑会没有空间留给这些想象中的朋友。故选C。 30．考查副词词义辨析。句意：如果你享受过一段想象中的友谊，我猜你并没有有意识地坐下来创造一个完美的朋友。A. consciously有意识地；B. invisibly看不见地；C. personally个人地；D. realistically现实地。根据下文“They probably arrived as an indication of the thoughts and ideas you never knew you had.”可知，这些想象中的朋友是我们从未意识到自己有过的想法和主意的象征，因此此处指并没有有意识地坐下来创造一个完美的朋友。故选A。 31．考查名词词义辨析。句意：为了成为想象中的朋友的好伴侣，你需要能够把“如果……会怎么样？”变成一个令人兴奋的命题。A. boss老板；B. companion伴侣；C. expert专家；D. instructor教练。根据这是谈论和想象中的朋友相处的情境，以及下文“you need to be able to make “what if?” into an exciting proposition”可推知，此处介绍通过拓展令人兴奋的命题来成为想象中的朋友的好伴侣。故选B。 32．考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果在我们孩子生活的世界里，想象中的朋友越来越少，这可能会导致未来艺术家、作家和问题解决者越来越少。A. challenging挑战；B. limiting限制；C. locating定位；D. populating居住于，生活于。根据上文“my brain created her”可知，我们的大脑创造出想象中的朋友，因此此处指生活在孩子世界里的想象中的朋友越来越少。故选D。 33．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这确实值得关注。A. boredom无聊；B. concern关注；C. imagination想象力；D. limitation限制。根据上文“that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers”可知，如果想象中的朋友越来越少，未来艺术家、作家和问题解决者会越来越少，这是不好的情况，因此这非常值得关注。故选B。 34．考查动词词义辨析。句意：作为一个成年人，每当我不得不做一些让我害怕的事情时，我就会想到我无畏的、隐形的朋友Gemma——通常是公开演讲，而不是爬上书架。A. defeats打败；B. encourages鼓励；C. inspires鼓舞；D. scares使害怕。根据上文“She was fearless where I was anxious, rebellious where I was conservative”可知，作者的性格是焦虑的、保守的，再结合下文“usually public speaking”可知，公开演讲这样的事会让作者害怕。故选D。 35．考查形容词短语和动词短语辨析。句意：然而，每当我超越自己的期望，在一个我认为自己无法到达的地方遇见自己时，我就能听到我的潜意识在低语：“Gemma让我做到的。”A. am short of缺乏；B. go against违背；C. go beyond超越；D. live up to达到。根据下文“meet myself in a place that I did not think I could quite reach”可知，作者在一个认为自己无法到达的地方遇见自己，因此是超越自己的期望。故选C。 36．waking 37．where 38．that 39．struck 40．unless 41．A 42．roasted 43．has been celebrated 44．admiration 45．meaning 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我国传统节日“龙抬头”的来历。 36．考查非谓语动词。句意：龙头节是每年农历二月初二，龙从冬眠中醒来，这一天之后，降雨量会增加。本句是with引导的复合结构，wake和逻辑主语dragon之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填waking。 37．考查定语从句。句意：传统上，人们认为龙生活在天上，负责带来雨水，这是古代农业社会的一个重要因素。空处引导定语从句，先行词是sky，在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。 38．考查同位语从句。句意：传说有一年，一个村庄遭遇了旱灾。空处引导同位语从句，说明legend内容，从句结构完整，用that引导。故填that。 39．考查时态。句意：传说有一年，一个村庄遭遇了旱灾。strike作从句谓语，根据时间状语one year可知，描述的是过去的事，用一般过去时。故填struck。 40．考查连词。句意：为了惩罚龙，玉皇大帝把它囚禁在一座山上，并说除非金豆开花，否则他永远不会释放它。分析句子可知，此空引导条件状语从句，表示“除非”应用unless。故填unless。 41．考查冠词。句意：一个聪明的村民发现玉米粒像大豆一样是金色的，更重要的是，它们在烤的时候会开花。villager意为“村民”是可数名词单数形式，此处是泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且clever的发音是辅音音素开头，用a，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填A。 42．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个聪明的村民发现玉米粒像大豆一样是金色的，更重要的是，它们在烤的时候会开花。分析句子可知，这里考查状语从句省略，当从句中主语和主句主语相同时，且谓语动词是be动词是，可以把从句主语和be同时省略，此处完整从句为“when they were roasted“。故填roasted。 43． 考查时态和语态。句意：从那时起，中国就以各种方式庆祝龙头节，以表达对龙的崇拜。空处为句子谓语动词，根据时间状语since then判断为现在完成时，主语the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival和celebrate是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态。主语为单数。故填has been celebrated。 44．考查名词。句意：从那时起，中国就以各种方式庆祝龙头节，以表达对龙的崇拜。空处作动词show的宾语，应用admire的名词形式admiration，为抽象名词，不可数。故填admiration。 45．考查非谓语动词。句意：最著名的传统是理发，意思是摆脱坏运气。句中已有谓语动词is且无连词，故mean应用非谓形式，它和逻辑主语getting s haircut之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填meaning。 46．Dear John, How are you doing? Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese customs, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details. When invited to a Chinese friend’s home, you should arrive a little earlier so that you can help the family prepare the dinner. At the same time, a proper gift such as a book or a Chinese knot should be brought with you to show respect for the host. Besides, when having conversation, you’d better keep good eye contact and use positive body language to show you are listening attentively. Last, you need to pay attention to some table manners, which are definitely different from yours. When you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. Otherwise, it’s thought extremely impolite. Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生给英国朋友John发邮件，向他介绍去中国朋友家做客的习俗。 【详解】1.词汇积累 困惑的：confused→ puzzled 同时：at the same time→ meanwhile 注意/关注：pay attention to→ focus on 认为：think→consider 2.句式拓展 句式变化（状语从句的省略） 原句：When you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food. 同义句：When enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food. 【点睛】 【高分句型1】When invited to a Chinese friend’s home, you should arrive a little earlier so that you can help the family prepare the dinner.（运用了状语从句的省略和so that引导的目的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Last, you need to pay attention to some table manners, which are definitely different from yours.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 47．范文 Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down. “Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller! 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与父母参加一次叠人形金字塔比赛的经历，从中懂得了相信和专注的重要性的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“然后突然轮到孩子们爬最后一层了。”可知，第一段可以描写作者踩着人墙往上爬的过程，以及这次过程中的紧张和心理活动。 ②根据第二段首句“‘乔迪，放松’我母亲低声说着这句话。”可知，第二段可以描写写作者如何克服紧张爬到顶点，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：轮到孩子们——越往上越紧张——害怕因为自己而输掉比赛——妈妈鼓励——放松心情——克服紧张——爬到顶点——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shudder ②到达：reach/get to/arrive at ③知道，明白：know/be aware of/understand 情绪类 ①冷静下来：calm/cool ②失望的：down/upset/disappointed 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do.（运用了whether...or...引导的让步状语从句） 高二英语试题 第2页（共6页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
