B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 24. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 25. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 26. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 27. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. C Falling birth rates are a major concern for some of Asia’s biggest economies. Government s in the region are spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to reverse the trend. Will it work? Japan began introducing policies to encourage couples to have more children in the 1990s. South Korea started doing the same in the 2000s, while Singapore’s first fertility (生育) policy dates back to 1987. China, which has seen its population fall for the first time in 60 years, recently joined the growing club. While it is difficult to quantify exactly how much these policies have cost, South Korean President YoonSuk-yeol recently said his country had spent more than $200bn (£160bn) over the past 16 years on trying to boost the population. Yet last year South Korea broke its own record for the world’s lowest fertility rate, with the average number of babies expected per woman falling to 0.78. In neighbouring Japan, which had record low births of fewer than 800,000 last year, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has promised to double the budget for child-related policies from 10tn yen ($74.7bn; £59.2bn). Having a bigger population who can work and produce more goods and services leads to higher economic growth. And while a larger population can mean higher costs for governments, it can also result in bigger tax revenues (税收). Also, many Asian countries are ageing rapidly. Japan leads the pack with nearly 30% of its population now over the age of 65 and some other nations in the region are not far behind. Compare that with India, which has just overtaken China as the world’s most populous nation. More than a quarter of its people are between the age of 10 and 20, which gives its economy huge potential for growth. And when the share of the working age population gets smaller, the cost and burden of looking after the non-working population grow. “Negative population growth has an impact on the economy, and together with an ageing population, they won’t be able to afford to support the elderly,” said Xiujian Peng of Victoria University. 28. Which Asian country first took measures to increase population in this passage? A. Japan. B. South Korea. C. Singapore. D. China. 29. What can we learn about the population of Asian countries from the passage? A. Japan hit the lowest record of new-born babies last year. B. India has the largest and youngest population in the world. C. China’s population has been decreasing in the recent 60 years. D. South Korea had the lowest population record last year in the world. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. The economy of India will overtake that of Japan. B. Negative population growth leads to an ageing population. C. The larger the population is, the better the economy will be. D. A bigger share of working age population helps support the elderly. 31. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Low birth rate is a negative factor for economy. B. China is joining the countries of low birth rate. C. Many Asian countries came to negative population growth. D. Many Asian countries are trying all out to battle low birth rate. D That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high. California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children. Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost. In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品). Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.” 32. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1? A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects. B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed. C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem. D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high. 33. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of. 34. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article? A. Food companies will stop coloring their products. B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market. C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products. D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes. 35. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned. 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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___36___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___37___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. ___38___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___39___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___40___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages. G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?” 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jim owned a store.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something__________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior._____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 荆州中学2023-2024学年高一下学期5月月考 英语试题 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A､B､C三个选项中选出最佳选项, 每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers?

Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 24. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 25. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 26. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 27. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了自己在学习钢琴过程中的爱与恨以及自己感悟。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.(这是一个经典的故事：一个孩子从小就被迫学习一种乐器，他们在整个童年时期都在演奏，并与之发展出苦乐参半的关系。对音乐的热爱和对不断挑战的憎恨之间不断的斗争值得吗？对我来说，是的)”可推知，文章讲故事是为了说明孩子们在学乐器方面的挣扎，然后引出介绍自己的情况。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“ I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt.(为了向别人证明一些东西，我感受到了成为最好的人的压力——更具毁灭性的是，为了向自己证明一些东西。我对音乐的兴趣在竞争和怀疑的阳光下生长。)”可知，作者曾经经历了来自自己的巨大压力。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。原文明确提到，作者找到自信的原因是 “I learned that anything I had was good enough”（我明白自己所拥有的一切已经足够好）。这体现的是一种心态的转变 —— 不再以 “做到极致”“超越他人” 为标准，而是接纳自己的现状，认可自身的价值。B. Her training（训练）：文中并未强调训练本身带来了自信，反而提到曾因过度自我批评而滋生厌恶，可见训练并非关键。C. Her compromise（妥协）：作者并未妥协放弃，而是主动调整方向（换老师、为自己演奏创作），不属于妥协。D. Her achievement（成就）：作者明确否定了 “因为变得足够优秀才获得自信”，而是强调对自我的接纳，与成就无关。因此，是作者态度的转变帮助她找到了自信。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. (很难学会去爱一些不是源于爱的东西)”以及文章最后一段“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.(我对钢琴的爱和恨都是种下的，也是成长的。如果你也学会了憎恨某件事，请记住，有了承诺，它可以被连根拔起，爱可以在它的地方建立一个家。时间总是有的。空间也总是有的)”以及上下文可知，文章通过自己练钢琴的经历领悟到：对东西的爱是可以逐渐培养形成的。由此推知，B项Love is a thing that grows(爱是一种成长的东西)符合文意。故选B项。 C Falling birth rates are a major concern for some of Asia’s biggest economies. Government s in the region are spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to reverse the trend. Will it work? Japan began introducing policies to encourage couples to have more children in the 1990s. South Korea started doing the same in the 2000s, while Singapore’s first fertility (生育) policy dates back to 1987. China, which has seen its population fall for the first time in 60 years, recently joined the growing club. While it is difficult to quantify exactly how much these policies have cost, South Korean President YoonSuk-yeol recently said his country had spent more than $200bn (£160bn) over the past 16 years on trying to boost the population. Yet last year South Korea broke its own record for the world’s lowest fertility rate, with the average number of babies expected per woman falling to 0.78. In neighbouring Japan, which had record low births of fewer than 800,000 last year, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has promised to double the budget for child-related policies from 10tn yen ($74.7bn; £59.2bn). Having a bigger population who can work and produce more goods and services leads to higher economic growth. And while a larger population can mean higher costs for governments, it can also result in bigger tax revenues (税收). Also, many Asian countries are ageing rapidly. Japan leads the pack with nearly 30% of its population now over the age of 65 and some other nations in the region are not far behind. Compare that with India, which has just overtaken China as the world’s most populous nation. More than a quarter of its people are between the age of 10 and 20, which gives its economy huge potential for growth. And when the share of the working age population gets smaller, the cost and burden of looking after the non-working population grow. “Negative population growth has an impact on the economy, and together with an ageing population, they won’t be able to afford to support the elderly,” said Xiujian Peng of Victoria University. 28. Which Asian country first took measures to increase population in this passage? A. Japan. B. South Korea. C. Singapore. D. China. 29. What can we learn about the population of Asian countries from the passage? A. Japan hit the lowest record of new-born babies last year. B. India has the largest and youngest population in the world. C. China’s population has been decreasing in the recent 60 years. D. South Korea had the lowest population record last year in the world. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. The economy of India will overtake that of Japan. B. Negative population growth leads to an ageing population. C. The larger the population is, the better the economy will be. D. A bigger share of working age population helps support the elderly. 31. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Low birth rate is a negative factor for economy. B. China is joining the countries of low birth rate. C. Many Asian countries came to negative population growth. D. Many Asian countries are trying all out to battle low birth rate. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。文章讲述了亚洲出生率下降这一现象，许多亚洲国家正采取措施竭尽全力与低出生率作斗争。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“Japan began introducing policies to encourage couples to have more children in the 1990s. South Korea started doing the same in the 2000s, while Singapore’s first fertility (生育) policy dates back to 1987. China, which has seen its population fall for the first time in 60 years, recently joined the growing club. (20世纪90年代，日本开始出台鼓励夫妇多生孩子的政策。韩国在21世纪初就开始这样做，而新加坡的第一个生育政策可以追溯到1987年。中国60年来首次出现人口下降，最近加入了这个不断增长的俱乐部)”可知，新加坡早在1987年首先采取了增加人口的措施。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“In neighbouring Japan, which had record low births of fewer than 800,000 last year, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has promised to double the budget for child-related policies from 10tn yen ($74.7bn; £59.2bn). (在邻国日本，去年出生率创下历史新低，不到80万，首相岸田文雄承诺将儿童相关政策的预算从10万亿日元（747亿美元；592亿英镑）增加一倍)”可知，日本去年创下新生儿出生率的最低纪录。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“And when the share of the working age population gets smaller, the cost and burden of looking after the non-working population grow. “Negative population growth has an impact on the economy, and together with an ageing population, they won’t be able to afford to support the elderly,” said Xiujian Peng of Victoria University. (当劳动年龄人口的比例越来越小时，照顾非劳动人口的成本和负担就会增加。维多利亚大学的彭秀建说：“人口负增长会对经济产生影响，再加上人口老龄化，他们将无法负担赡养老人的费用。”)”可知，能工作的人口比例小，说明不能工作的人口比例大，加上老龄化，小比例的能工作的人口无法负担赡养不断增长的老人的费用，可得出更大比例的劳动年龄人口有助于赡养老年人。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段中“Falling birth rates are a major concern for some of Asia’s biggest economies. Government s in the region are spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to reverse the trend. (出生率下降是亚洲一些最大经济体的主要担忧。该地区的政府正花费数千亿美元试图扭转这一趋势)”和全文可知，文章讲述了亚洲出生率下降这一现象，许多亚洲国家正采取措施竭尽全力与低出生率作斗争，D项“许多亚洲国家正竭尽全力与低出生率作斗争”是文章大意。故选D项。 D That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high. California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children. Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost. In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品). Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.” 32. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1? A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects. B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed. C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem. D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high. 33. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of. 34. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article? A. Food companies will stop coloring their products. B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market. C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products. D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes. 35. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响，加州政府出台新规则，要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high.(加州环境健康危害评估办公室2021年的一份同行评议报告得出结论，人工食用色素“会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题”，目前联邦政府认为安全的食用色素水平太高了。)”可知，2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响，会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语on par with前文“California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes.(加州目前正在考虑要求在食品和膳食补充剂上贴上含有七种最常用人工染料的警告标签。)”以及后文“which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children.(欧盟自2010年以来就要求含有某些人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签，说明它们对儿童活动和注意力的负面影响。)”可知，加州也要像欧盟一样要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签，从而推知划线短语on par with与B项“In line with(符合，保持一致)”意思相近，警告标签的要求将使加州与欧盟保持一致。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal.(毕竟，我们不会给新鲜水果和蔬菜染色，但我们会给糖果和糖屑染色，蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学的化学教授Joe Schwarcz指出。)”可知，由于对染色剂危害的了解，我们会避开选择它们，然而新鲜水果和蔬菜却不会染色，因此新的规则可能产生的结果是更多的新鲜水果和蔬菜将出现在市场上。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.”(“你发现含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物”，他说。“如果你限制含有食用色素的食物，你的饮食就会自动变得更好。”)”可知，Joe Schwarcz对人工食用色素的态度是担忧的，认为含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物。故选D项。 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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___36___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___37___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. ___38___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___39___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___40___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages. G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?” 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对内向的人进行了相关解读和介绍。 【36题详解】 根据空处上句“You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch.（你厌倦了从一个话题跳到另一个话题，你的思想开始徘徊在那本有趣的书上，或者你一直想看的电影上。）”可知，这里是在介绍内向者的某些典型特征，而C项“These are feelings usually typical of an introvert.（这些都是典型的内向者的感觉。）”是对上句的总结和承接。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据空处上句“A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social.（对内向者的一个常见误解是，他们是孤独者或反社会者。）”可知，B选项“Most introverts, however, are just regular people.（然而，大多数内向的人只是普通人。）”和上句均是对内向者的一种解读，且互为转折关系。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据空处后两句“Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. （因此，交际能力是极其宝贵的。当然，有时内向的人可能和外向的人一样有能力与人交谈，但有时他们不得不强迫自己与他人交流以“融入”。）”可知，这里和A选项“Society appears to favor extroverts.（社会似乎偏爱外向的人。）”一样，都是在介绍内向的人和外向的人的交际能力的差异，且空处与下句形成因果关系，指的是以对内向的人来说，拥有交际能力在社会上显得尤为重要。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据空处下句中的“For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm（对于内向的人来说，继续处于这种尴尬的境地可能最终会给他们带来伤害）”可知，G选项“Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?”（即使是一个人站一会儿，他们也会被问到：“你为什么总是一个人？”）”是对下文中“this awkward situation（这种尴尬的境地）”一种具体举例。故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据空处下句“They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail.（他们思想深邃，行事谨慎，注重细节。）”可知，这里是对F选项“Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages.（内向的人，就像外向的人一样，有他们自己的优势。）”的进一步解释，说明内向的人的具体优势。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jim owned a store.

Jim was about to leave the store when an armed robber came in, held him up at gunpoint, and made him open the ____45____. As he was trying to open it, Jim’s hand ____46____.

He knew he needed to do something to change their ____50____. There was a ____51____ who was asking him lots of questions, very fast. One question was, “Are you ____52____ to anything?” “Yes!” Jim said loudly and everybody stopped what they were doing.

And then Jim added, “Please operate on me thinking that I’ll live, and not that I’ll die.” Jim survived, thanks to the skill of the doctors and nurses.

Originally 58. was ordered   59. into 60. height  61. which 62. views  63. Surrounding 64. or 65. an 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于中国西安的长安塔（大雁塔）作为中国古代建筑奇观的重要地位及其深厚的历史文化意义。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：长安塔，又称大雁塔，是位于中国西安的一座建筑奇观。空处需要非谓语动词作定语修饰wonder，该动词与wonder之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，因此使用过去分词作后置定语。故填located。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：长安塔始建于7世纪的唐朝，是一座佛塔，里面存放着玄奘和尚从印度带来的佛教材料。空处应将形容词original转换为副词originally“起初”，作状语修饰整个句子，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Originally。 【58题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：它的建造是由高宗下令的，目的是推广佛教，促进佛经的汉译。空处为句子的谓语动词。句子描述过去的事件，所以用一般过去时态，且主语“Its construction”与order之间存在被动关系，因此使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was ordered。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：它的建造是由高宗下令的，目的是推广佛教，促进佛经的汉译。根据空前的translation 可知，空处需要介词into，表示“将……翻译成……”。“the translation of Buddhist scriptures into Chinese”意为“佛经的汉译”。故填into。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：这座方形的十三层塔楼高64米，每一层都展现了中国古代工匠精湛的手艺，各具特色的建筑风格，映射了当时的文化影响。a后面需要接名词，因此将形容词high转换为其名词形式height“高度”。故填height。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这座方形的十三层塔楼高64米，每一层都展现了中国古代工匠精湛的手艺，各具特色的建筑风格，映射了当时的文化影响。逗号后为“each of+关系代词”引导限定性定语从句，修饰先行词tower。先行词指物，在定语从句中作介词的宾语，所以空处应用关系代词which。故填which。 【62题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：游客可以爬上内部楼梯至塔顶，享受城市美景。view在这里表示“景色，风光”，是可数名词，此处应该使用复数形式views表示泛指，以涵盖城市多样的景观。故填views。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：环绕着宝塔，宁静的花园和大慈恩寺也提供了一处宁静的避风港。空处需要非谓语动词作状语。surround与其逻辑主语“the quiet gardens and the Da Ci’en Temple”构成主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语。故填Surrounding。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：无论是体验历史片段还是探索文化奇观，长安塔对那些探索中国广阔历史风貌的人来说，都是一个必不可少的地点。whether...or...构成固定搭配，表示“无论是……还是……”。故填or。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：无论是体验历史片段还是探索文化奇观，长安塔对那些探索中国广阔历史风貌的人来说，都是一个必不可少的地点。 destination为可数名词“目的地”，空处需要不定冠词表示泛指，表示“一个必不可少的地点”。空后essential 为元音音素开始的单词，因此前面应用不定冠词an。故填an。 第四部分: 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节：应用文写作(满分15分) 66. 假定你是校英语戏剧社社长李华，原定于下周举行的英语戏剧表演赛因故推迟，请你给担任评委的外教Katherine写邮件，内容包括： 1. 表达歉意； 2. 说明理由； 3. 后续调整。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Dear Katherine, I’m Li Hua, leader of the English drama club. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Katherine, I’m terribly sorry to inform you that the English Dram a Competition scheduled for next Thursday will have to be rearranged.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something.__________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior._____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I knew I should do something. I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and take out the money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. “Yes, those children need help and need the money more.” I said to myself. My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you. ” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now. ” “Thank you, Grandpa.” I was overwhelmed with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爷爷送我一个存钱罐，我努力的存钱，想要买自己心仪的自行车。当看到临近省份发生了地震的电视新闻后，我决定把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我应该做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者的最终决定，打破存钱罐，把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“爷爷对我的行为感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷了解了事情的经过后，所做出的决定。 2. 续写线索：存钱——梦想买自行车——看到新闻——捐钱——获得自行车奖励——开心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 回来：come back to/return to 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 以……为傲：be proud of/take pride in 幸福：happiness/blessedness 【点睛】［高分句型 1］Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground.
