B Mr. Smith, the professor at my business class, had a unique way of going over the answers to our weekly tests. For each question, he would ask a random student for their answer and then continue to grill (盘问追问) him/her, forcing him/her to defend that answer. It was certainly a memorable way to review. How I wished I’d been a more experienced student and got used to the professor’s grilling! I wasn’t, though. But in my anatomy (解剖学) class, Dr. Cuddy introduced “high power” and “low power” body positions, saying “high power” positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big, while “low power” poses, in contrast, involve making yourself look small, keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close. People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders, and are more willing to hire them. Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high-power pose increased a person’s feeling of power and self-confidence. She wanted us to try it out. On my next quiz-review day, instead of bending over my book studying quietly, I sat up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk. When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review, I raised my hand. The effect was surprising. My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague, and I had a wonderful feeling of calm. Suddenly, I realized that the important thing was that I was participating. I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn. Today, before a presentation or a test, I spend a few minutes “thinking big” — taking up space and being seen. It calms me down and when I do, my best always turns out to be pretty good. 4. How did the author perform in his business class? A. He was good at defending his answer. B. He had difficulty getting used to the professor. C. He did good memorization for his weekly tests. D. He felt confident to question against the teacher. 5. What did Dr. Cuddy want her students to try out? A. Keeping their arms crossed at a talk. B. Keeping their desks clean in class. C. Using low-power poses in class. D. Taking a high-power pose briefly. 6. According to the passage, which one is a low-power pose? A. Opening your arms above your head. B. Sitting with your two feet out. C. Standing upright and making a V with two fingers. D. Bending over and folding your arms. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards “thinking big”? A Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. C Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious. As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom. 8. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly? A. Their teachers help them. B. They take some medicine. C. Their parents talk with them. D. They change their attention. 9. What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A. Freedom must be given at anytime. B. Teens are mad at being controlled. C. Teens need both freedom and proper rules. D. Rules must be absolutely strict for teens. 10. What should parents do about their teens’ choices? A. Support their helpful hobbies. B. Tell them which college to attend. C. Cancel their after-school activities. D. Get them away from singing pop songs. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Be With Growing Teens B. Causes of Teens’ Sadness C. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules D. The Importance of Making Friends With Teens D In the book Consciousness Explained, the cognitive (认知的) scientist Daniel Dennett describes a kind of fish, which wanders through the sea looking for a suitable rock to make its home for life. On finding one, the fish no longer needs its brain and eats it. Humanity is unlikely to adopt such an eating habit but there is a worrying trend that people are dumping themselves down by becoming overly dependent on “intelligent” machines, especially when ChatGPT comes out. Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has drawn 1 million people to register during the first week. Its allure is obvious: ChatGPT can produce jokes, write undergraduate essays and create computer code from a short writing prompt (提示). But this is a false impression. Computers have become more capable but they lack genuine thinking, developed in humans through constant social practices. ChatGPT does not know what it is doing; it is unable to say how or why it produced a response; and cannot tell if it is making sense. So why all the fuss? Google’s new Al-powered search tool, Bard was released in March 2023, making its ambition obvious in its promotional video. The profit-driven competition to fill our daily lives with artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly fierce. Humans have a long track of turning a blind eye to the risks of new breakthroughs. Web companies want to draw their users to think extremely highly of their Al tools, encouraging humanity to think them far beyond human’s cognitive competence. As we know, the rise of civilization through art and agriculture contributes mostly to the remarkable human mental powers. No one knows what will happen to such technologies if the software engineers of the future make themselves become software programs. Maybe the danger is not machines being treated like humans, but humans being treated like machines. 12. Why does the author mention “the fish” in the first paragraph? A. To stress the importance of intelligent machines. B. To introduce a new kind of eating habit in animals. C. To compare with human’s unwillingness to think. D. To praise the excellence of human thinking ability. 13. What does the underlined word “allure” mean in the second paragraph? A. Target. B. Attraction. C. Weakness. D. Access. 14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Computers are skilled at completing cognitive tasks. B. Making money is not so important in the AI competition. C. Machines and humans should be treated equally. D. Web companies want the users to overstate AI tools. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. ChatGPT has both benefits and risks. B. Human depends overly on intelligent tools. C. More intelligent technology is always better. D. Human’s cognitive competence is irreplaceable. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are several reasons to use canvas (帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bags made from other materials.

Even though I hadn’t read Les Miserables and knew very little about the musical, the songs captured my attention and I happily sang along with enthusiasm and energy whenever I heard them on the radio. At the age of 17, I watched Les Miserables in a theatre of Vancouver. After getting home, I was really thrilled and announced that I wanted to perform in the musical. Hearing what I said, my parents did nothing but support me, although they considered the thought ridiculous, given that we lived 50 kilometres from the nearest large town, Toowoomba. There was little likelihood of ever having a chance to perform. But some things are just meant to be. The Toowoomba Choral Society bought the performance rights with the view to perform it. Although I was not a member of the choir, they called for auditions (试镜) and I went along. I had had no experience singing and had never performed in any musicals but I believed in miracles and hoped that there was a place for me somewhere in the chorus. I tried out for the part of Javert but did not have the range. Little did I know there were a host of parts that needed filling. Fortunately, I was chosen to be in the chorus as well as playing seven roles — ten costume changes in all. It was so exciting to play all the different parts. Rehearsals (排练) started immediately and I got a crash course in singing, acting and dancing. There was so much to learn and as I drove to rehearsals three times a week a little voice would say, “You are in over your head, get out now.” I really had a hard time rehearsing — first with written texts and sheet music and then without. Personally, I struggled. So much to learn really made me so crazy that I had a strong desire to quit. And the little voice “You are in over your head, get out now.” rang in my ears again. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that time, my parents’ determined look appeared in my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the opening night, nervous as I was, I gathered my courage and stepped on the stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1—5BABCA 6—10 AACBC 11—15AABCB 16—20 CCABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖北省重点高中智学联盟2024年春季高一年级5月联考 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

How I wished I’d been a more experienced student and got used to the professor’s grilling! I wasn’t, though. But in my anatomy (解剖学) class, Dr. Cuddy introduced “high power” and “low power” body positions, saying “high power” positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big, while “low power” poses, in contrast, involve making yourself look small, keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close. People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders, and are more willing to hire them. Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high-power pose increased a person’s feeling of power and self-confidence. She wanted us to try it out. On my next quiz-review day, instead of bending over my book studying quietly, I sat up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk. When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review, I raised my hand. The effect was surprising. My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague, and I had a wonderful feeling of calm. Suddenly, I realized that the important thing was that I was participating. I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn. Today, before a presentation or a test, I spend a few minutes “thinking big” — taking up space and being seen. It calms me down and when I do, my best always turns out to be pretty good. 4. How did the author perform in his business class? A. He was good at defending his answer. B. He had difficulty getting used to the professor. C. He did good memorization for his weekly tests. D. He felt confident to question against the teacher. 5. What did Dr. Cuddy want her students to try out? A. Keeping their arms crossed at a talk. B. Keeping their desks clean in class. C. Using low-power poses in class. D. Taking a high-power pose briefly. 6. According to the passage, which one is a low-power pose? A. Opening your arms above your head. B. Sitting with your two feet out. C. Standing upright and making a V with two fingers. D. Bending over and folding your arms. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards “thinking big”? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在商业课程中的经历，以及他如何通过采用高能量姿势来提高自己的自信心和参与度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“How I wished I’d been a more experienced student and got used to the professor’s grilling! I wasn’t, though. (我多么希望自己是一个更有经验的学生，并习惯教授的盘问！不过我没有)”可知，作者不适应史密斯先生的盘问方法。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high power pose increased a person’s feeling of power and self-confidence. She wanted us to try it out. (她的研究发现，只需花两分钟的时间以高权力的姿势站立，就能增强一个人的力量感和自信。她想让我们试一试)”可知，Cuddy想让学生们试一试高权力的姿势站立。故选D。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“while “low power” poses, in contrast, involve making yourself look small, keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close.(相比之下，“低能量”姿势涉及到让自己看起来小，保持你的手臂和腿交叉并靠近)”可推知，低能量姿势包括弯腰和交叉双臂。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Today, before a presentation or a test, I spend a few minutes “thinking big” — taking up space and being seen. It calms me down and when I do, my best always turns out to be pretty good. (今天，在演讲或考试之前，我会花几分钟“大显身手”——占据空间并被人看到。它让我平静下来，当我这样做的时候，我的最佳状态总是很好)”可知，作者从thinking big中受益匪浅。由此推知，作者对“thinking big”持赞成态度。故选A。 C Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious. As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom. 8. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly? A. Their teachers help them. B. They take some medicine. C. Their parents talk with them. D. They change their attention. 9. What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A. Freedom must be given at anytime. B. Teens are mad at being controlled. C. Teens need both freedom and proper rules. D. Rules must be absolutely strict for teens. 10. What should parents do about their teens’ choices? A. Support their helpful hobbies. B. Tell them which college to attend. C. Cancel their after-school activities. D. Get them away from singing pop songs. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Be With Growing Teens B. Causes of Teens’ Sadness C. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules D. The Importance of Making Friends With Teens 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了父母如何与成长中青少年相处。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. (但这些症状通常很快就会消失，因为青少年开始学习新的课程，或与朋友见面，以防止自己思考当前的困扰。)”可知，青少年对不愉快的感觉会很快消失是因为他们改变了注意力。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. (父母需要制定规则，同时也要保持灵活性，尊重成长中的青少年对自由的需求。例如，青少年经常会感到沮丧，尴尬，甚至生气，尽管他们想要自由，他们仍然需要征求父母的同意去朋友家，或需要他们的母亲送他们去学校。)”可知，举例是为了说明青少年既需要自由又需要适当的规则。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. (美国教育部表示，父母应该尊重和支持青少年的选择，只要这些选择不会产生长期的有害影响。)”可知，对于青少年，父母应该支持他们有益的爱好。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. (根据在线的《青少年发展健康指南》，父母必须在青少年的生活中扮演持久的角色，为青少年的成长提供安全的边界，即使青少年表现得好像这些边界是不需要的。)”可知，本文主要谈论了父母如何与成长中的青少年相处。选项A符合文章主题，故选A项。 D In the book Consciousness Explained, the cognitive (认知的) scientist Daniel Dennett describes a kind of fish, which wanders through the sea looking for a suitable rock to make its home for life. On finding one, the fish no longer needs its brain and eats it. Humanity is unlikely to adopt such an eating habit but there is a worrying trend that people are dumping themselves down by becoming overly dependent on “intelligent” machines, especially when ChatGPT comes out. Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has drawn 1 million people to register during the first week. Its allure is obvious: ChatGPT can produce jokes, write undergraduate essays and create computer code from a short writing prompt (提示). But this is a false impression. Computers have become more capable but they lack genuine thinking, developed in humans through constant social practices. ChatGPT does not know what it is doing; it is unable to say how or why it produced a response; and cannot tell if it is making sense. So why all the fuss? Google’s new Al-powered search tool, Bard was released in March 2023, making its ambition obvious in its promotional video. The profit-driven competition to fill our daily lives with artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly fierce. Humans have a long track of turning a blind eye to the risks of new breakthroughs. Web companies want to draw their users to think extremely highly of their Al tools, encouraging humanity to think them far beyond human’s cognitive competence. As we know, the rise of civilization through art and agriculture contributes mostly to the remarkable human mental powers. No one knows what will happen to such technologies if the software engineers of the future make themselves become software programs. Maybe the danger is not machines being treated like humans, but humans being treated like machines. 12. Why does the author mention “the fish” in the first paragraph? A. To stress the importance of intelligent machines. B. To introduce a new kind of eating habit in animals. C. To compare with human’s unwillingness to think. D. To praise the excellence of human thinking ability. 13. What does the underlined word “allure” mean in the second paragraph? A. Target. B. Attraction. C. Weakness. D. Access. 14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Computers are skilled at completing cognitive tasks. B. Making money is not so important in the AI competition. C. Machines and humans should be treated equally. D. Web companies want the users to overstate AI tools. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. ChatGPT has both benefits and risks. B. Human depends overly on intelligent tools. C. More intelligent technology is always better. D. Human’s cognitive competence is irreplaceable. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人们正因过度依赖“智能”机器而使自己陷入困境，尤其是在ChatGPT问世之后。文章介绍了ChatGPT的受欢迎情况以及长期以来人类一直对人工智能新突破带来的风险视而不见。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the book Consciousness Explained, the cognitive (认知的) scientist Daniel Dennett describes a kind of fish, which wanders through the sea looking for a suitable rock to make its home for life. On finding one, the fish no longer needs its brain and eats it. Humanity is unlikely to adopt such an eating habit but there is a worrying trend that people are dumping themselves down by becoming overly dependent on “intelligent” machines, especially when ChatGPT comes out.(在Consciousness Explained一书中，认知科学家Daniel Dennett描述了一种鱼，它在海洋中徘徊，寻找合适的岩石作为生命的家园。一找到，鱼就不再需要它的大脑，把大脑吃掉。人类不太可能养成这样的饮食习惯，但有一种令人担忧的趋势：人们正因过度依赖“智能”机器而使自己陷入困境，尤其是在ChatGPT问世之后。)”可推知，作者在第一段提到“鱼”是为了与人类不愿意思考相比。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“ChatGPT can produce jokes, write undergraduate essays and create computer code from a short writing prompt (提示).(ChatGPT可以制作笑话、撰写本科生论文，还可以根据简短的写作提示创建计算机代码。)”可知，后文主要列举了ChatGPT的吸引力所在，故划线词意思是“吸引力”，和attraction意思相近。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Web companies want to draw their users to think extremely highly of their Al tools, encouraging humanity to think them far beyond human’s cognitive competence.(网络公司希望吸引他们的用户对他们的人工智能工具给予极高的评价，鼓励人类认为它们远远超出了人类的认知能力。)”可推知，网络公司在误导用户夸大AI工具的认知能力。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Humanity is unlikely to adopt such an eating habit but there is a worrying trend that people are dumping themselves down by becoming overly dependent on “intelligent” machines, especially when ChatGPT comes out.(人类不太可能养成这样的饮食习惯，但有一种令人担忧的趋势：人们正因过度依赖“智能”机器而使自己陷入困境，尤其是在ChatGPT问世之后。)”，结合文章介绍了ChatGPT的受欢迎情况以及长期以来，人类一直对人工智能新突破带来的风险视而不见，人类被当作机器对待可知，这篇文章主要讲了人类过度依赖智能工具。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are several reasons to use canvas (帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bags made from other materials.

Many grocery stores carry canvas grocery bags. B. Canvas grocery bags have uses beyond the grocery store. C. Instead, you only have to buy a canvas grocery bag once. D. What’s worse, plastic can stay in the ocean for thousands of years. . E. They point out reusable bags can be a small change with a big difference. F.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。通过与其他材质的购物袋比较， 帆布购物袋更环保，更结实，可以重复使用，易清洗，也可在其他场合使用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“There are several reasons to use canvas (帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bags made from other materials. Some environmental organizations have been pushing for the use of such bags. (使用帆布购物袋或由其他材料制成的可重复使用的购物袋有几个原因。一些环保组织一直在推动使用这种购物袋。)”可知，一些环保组织提倡使用帆布的或者其他材料做的可反复使用的购物袋，E项“They point out reusable bags can be a small change with a big difference. (他们指出，可重复使用的购物袋可能是一个小小的改变，但却有很大的不同。)”，其中的They指代上文的Some environmental organizations，E项顺接上文，上下文衔接连贯，故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“From an environmental aspect, canvas grocery bags are better choices than paper or plastic bags. (从环保的角度来看，帆布购物袋是比纸袋或塑料袋更好的选择。)”为本段的中心句，下文“Besides, turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable (一次性的) products, many of which wind up in landfills. (此外，使用可重复使用的产品被认为比使用一次性产品更环保，因为许多一次性产品最后都被填埋了。)”可知，下文与设空处为并列关系，从环保的角度解释“帆布购物袋比纸袋或塑料袋更好”，F项“Canvas is more environmentally friendly to produce than paper or plastic. (帆布生产起来比纸或塑料更环保。)”，F项阐述的是不同材料的购物袋在生产过程中环保程度的比较，下文则是从使用次数，以及最终处理方式方面的比较，上下文衔接连贯，故选F项。 【18题详解】 上文“Plastic grocery bags have a number of environmental disadvantages. When plastic grocery bags end up in the natural environment, they can cause a wide range of problems. Animals may choke on or be caught in such bags. (塑料购物袋对环境有许多不利之处。当塑料购物袋最终进入自然环境时，它们会引起广泛的问题。动物可能会被这些袋子噎住或夹住。)”，本段的第一句为中心句，表明本段主要讲述塑料购物袋不利环保。第二句为具体陈述塑料购物袋的第一个弊端，下文“While the bags may eventually break down, they can poison a wide range of sea creatures along the way. (虽然塑料袋最终可能会分解，但它们会毒害沿途的各种海洋生物。)”则说明塑料袋的分解也会毒害生物，D项“What’s worse, plastic can stay in the ocean for thousands of years. (更糟糕的是，塑料可以在海洋中停留数千年。)”，其中的What’s worse表明，D项顺接上文，plastic为复现词，陈述了塑料购物袋在海洋环境不利，故本段具体陈述了塑料袋导致的3个环境问题，上下文衔接连贯，故选D项。 【19题详解】 上文“As anyone who has had a bag broken open in the parking lot knows, it can be very upsetting to lose a lot of groceries to a poorly-constructed grocery bag. (任何一个在停车场被人弄坏过袋子的人都知道，因为一个构造不好的杂货袋而丢失了很多杂货，这是非常令人沮丧的。)”可知，本段说明了有的购物袋不结实，G项“However, canvas grocery bags can hold much more weight than regular ones. (然而，帆布购物袋比普通购物袋能承受更大的重量。)”，此处与上文为转折关系，强调了帆布袋的承重能力优于其他材料的购物袋，下文“They can also be easily washed in the event of leaks or spills. (在泄漏或溢出的情况下，它们也可以很容易地清洗。)”，此处的They指代G项中的canvas grocery bags，陈述了帆布购物袋的第二个优点，上下文衔接连贯顺畅，故选G项。 【20题详解】 设空处为本段的中心句，下文“For example, they can be used to pick up books at the library or carry other shopping, and they make great beach bags because of their washability. (例如，它们可以用来在图书馆取书或携带其他购物物品，而且由于它们的可洗性，它们是很棒的海滩包)”说明了这些包的其他用途，B项“Canvas grocery bags have uses beyond the grocery store. (帆布购物袋的用途超出了杂货店。)”，下文中的they指代B项中的Canvas grocery bags，下文起到举例说明的作用，上下文衔接连贯，故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读短文，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。 On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job.

Even though I hadn’t read Les Miserables and knew very little about the musical, the songs captured my attention and I happily sang along with enthusiasm and energy whenever I heard them on the radio. At the age of 17, I watched Les Miserables in a theatre of Vancouver. After getting home, I was really thrilled and announced that I wanted to perform in the musical. Hearing what I said, my parents did nothing but support me, although they considered the thought ridiculous, given that we lived 50 kilometres from the nearest large town, Toowoomba. There was little likelihood of ever having a chance to perform. But some things are just meant to be. The Toowoomba Choral Society bought the performance rights with the view to perform it. Although I was not a member of the choir, they called for auditions (试镜) and I went along. I had had no experience singing and had never performed in any musicals but I believed in miracles and hoped that there was a place for me somewhere in the chorus. I tried out for the part of Javert but did not have the range. Little did I know there were a host of parts that needed filling. Fortunately, I was chosen to be in the chorus as well as playing seven roles — ten costume changes in all. It was so exciting to play all the different parts. Rehearsals (排练) started immediately and I got a crash course in singing, acting and dancing. There was so much to learn and as I drove to rehearsals three times a week a little voice would say, “You are in over your head, get out now.” I really had a hard time rehearsing — first with written texts and sheet music and then without. Personally, I struggled. So much to learn really made me so crazy that I had a strong desire to quit. And the little voice “You are in over your head, get out now.” rang in my ears again. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that time, my parents’ determined look appeared in my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the opening night, nervous as I was, I gathered my courage and stepped on the stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: At that time, my parents’ determined look appeared in my mind. They had always been there for me, and I didn’t want to disappoint them. Instead, I wanted to make them proud. With this in mind, I resolved to push through any challenge and continue rehearsing. I sought guidance from my fellow cast members and practiced timelessly at home. Gradually, I began to understand the characters and their emotions, and my singing and acting skills improved significantly. Finally, the big day arrived. On the opening night, nervous as I was, I gathered my courage and stepped on the stage. The audience’s applause filled me with confidence, and I knew that my hard work would pay off. Throughout the performance, I felt a strong connection with the other actors and the story we were telling. As the final note came to an end, I knew we made it. I felt a sense of accomplishment. I had achieved the impossible — rising above my limitations and performing in the greatest musical. My unexpected musical journey taught me that with determination, perseverance, and support from others, I could overcome my obstacle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了作者在15岁的时候爱上了音乐剧《悲惨世界》中的歌曲，常常跟着收音机唱这些歌。17岁的时候，作者在剧院看了这部音乐剧，激动地宣布自己想在音乐剧中表演，虽然父母认为这几乎不可能实现，但是仍然支持作者的想法。幸运的是，Toowoomba合唱团买下了这部音乐剧的表演权，作者得到了试镜的机会，成功入选。排练开始后，没有任何经验的作者开始学习很多东西，因为过程很辛苦，作者内心常常在挣扎，想要放弃。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那时候，我的脑海里出现了父母坚定的表情”可知，第一段可描写作者说服自己坚持下去的心理活动，以及作者努力练习取得进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“首演那天晚上，尽管我很紧张，但我还是鼓起勇气走上了舞台”可知，第二段可描写音乐剧表演的过程和结果，以及作者对这次经历的感悟。 2. 续写线索：想起父母坚定的表情——说服自己的心理活动——练习并取得进步——走上舞台——表演的过程和结果——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决心去做某事：resolve to do/determine to do ②寻求：seek/search for/look for ③结束：come to an end/end/finish ④实现：achieve/realize/accomplish ⑤克服：overcome/conquer/surmount 情绪类 ①使失望：disappoint/let down ②自信：confidence/self-assurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the final note came to an end, I knew we made it.
