Cowboy Trail Rides—Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride B The first time our fifth grader bought a salad for school lunch, she proudly told me the news as soon as she walked in the kitchen door. I didn’t share her delight. “Honey, just so you know, salad isn’t a meal. It’s a side,” I said. “Vegetables won’t keep you full.” “But a salad’s healthy, right?” she asked. Of course the objective answer is yes. But my answer was more complicated. I couldn’t celebrate her otherwise healthy choice because I was worried she had begun to model my dieting and restrictive eating habits she saw as a younger child — habits that included lots of salad eating (and little else) and finally led to my anorexia (厌食症) nearly two years ago. Was this monkey see, monkey do? Even though our daughters — who are now 10, 8 and 6 — are old enough to make their own regular food choices, what my husband and I have modeled for them will make a difference. I learned something about restrictive eating from watching my own father, who often struggled with his weight. Of course, I don’t blame him for my disorder — he never intended for his choices to be a weight-loss book for me, though sadly, they were. So knowing what I know now, it would be stupid, if not irresponsible for me to think that just because I never told our daughters to restrict or to spend hours each day exercising that they wouldn’t have understood what my “healthy” lifestyle really meant. To be clear, there are countless medical reasons why some parents chose restrictive diets, but when restriction or a diet becomes a way of life that starts to affect relationships, that’s not healthy. I knew I was wrong to shame the salad our daughter bought for lunch, which is why I reconsidered my response and told her that salad for lunch was, indeed, a healthy choice, and that it should include cheese, meat or nuts, which would keep her brain focused for the rest of her school day. She smiled at my answer. “Well, I also have cheese, eggs and chicken on my salad.” 4. How did the author feel on hearing about her daughter’s lunch? A. Unconcerned. B. Relaxed. C. Uneasy. D. Delighted. 5. What can we infer about the author’s father? A. He exercised a lot to keep fit. B. He was often on a diet. C. He once suffered from a disorder. D. He was a good model for the author. 6. What was worrying the author? A. Her kids at e too much fat every day. B. Her kids were influenced by her lifestyle. C. Her kids spent too little time exercising. D. Her kids knew nothing about food choices. 7. What kind of lunch did the author’s daughter have that day? A. Vegetarian. B. High-fat. C. Balanced. D. Weight-loss. C Nature’s beauty is all around you. Wild flowers shine in bright blues, yellows, and reds. Trees, with unique shaped branches, and leaves, decorate the horizon. Under your feet, pine needles, leaves, and grass give their natural beauty on the earth’s surface. But how many of you take the time to notice all of nature’s wonders? Hannah Bullen-Ryner is an artist who not only takes the time to “smell the roses”, but she uses them as a medium to craft stunning portraits of birds. Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature. Bullen-Ryner started spending time alone in the woods, foraging for materials: flowers, branches, leaves, and grass. On an impulse (冲动), she started forming a portrait of a bird with the items she had gathered. When her picture was finished, Bullen-Ryner realized that she felt calmand hopeful. The process had been healing and therapeutic (有疗效的). Bullen-Ryner tells My Modern Met, “Finding the medium of land art has allowed my art and soul to connect to the earth. As a full-time Mama of nearly three-year-old twin girls, and someone who suffers from anxiety, my art is my quiet time, my peace.” When Bullen-Ryner creates her artwork on the forest floor, she never uses glues or any other material to bond the foraged items. This means that a single breeze is able to carry away or scatter her portrait. “People often ask me why I don’t make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Bullen-Ryner explains. “But for me,” she continues, “it is the short-lived nature of what I do that has become therapy for my soul. I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, and all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature. I take some photos and then walk or cycle away, leaving it all behind and feeling calmer, more connected, and truly lighter.” 8. Why did Bullen-Ryner take up her artistic hobby? A. To kill time. B. To make more profits. C. To serve as a treatment. D. To entertain her daughters. 9. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 3 mean? A Making. B. Answering. C. Providing. D. Seeking. 10. What do we know about Bullen-Ryner’s artwork? A. It is well received with customers. B. It cannot be preserved for a long time. C. It stimulated the local tourism industry. D. It won her widespread praise domestically. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Bullen-Ryner is grateful to nature. B. Bullen-Ryner regrets what she has done. C. Bullen-Ryner is into going to work by bicycle. D. Bullen-Ryner persuades more people to participate. D Blue light blocking (BLB) glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wave length light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, using this type of glasses sounds like a smart investment, right? Elizabeth Esparaz, an eye specialist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that producers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing and doubtful. Blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy. So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses. “So to some extent, these glasses are useful to some people,” saysDr. Esparaz. But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases. As for eye strain (疲劳), a condition of the eyes usually caused by a long period of looking at screens, an Australian study showed that those wearing BLB glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And another review study, also by Australian researchers, found inadequate evidence that BLB glasses could prevent serious eye problems. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, they are maybe not as good as advertised and a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. 12. What message does Dr. Esparaz convey in paragraph 2? A. Seeing is believing. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Every coin has two sides. D. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. 13. Who may benefit from wearing BLB glasses? A. People working long hours. B. People with poor sight. C. People watching the screen often. D. People with sleep problems. 14. Why does the author mention the two studies conducted by Australian researchers? A. To explain the function of BLB glasses. B. To indicate the limitations of BLB glasses. C. To show the commonness of eye problems. D. To demonstrate the influence of blue light. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Do BLB glasses really work? B. Why are BLB glasses popular? C. Is blue light a trouble maker? D. How do BLB glasses play a role? 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。 What is sustainable travel?

With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience. Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell. On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman. “I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face. A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 CBBAC BBAAB CABCB AABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 马鞍山二中2023—2024学年度高二年级第二学期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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话，你有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.

I learned something about restrictive eating from watching my own father, who often struggled with his weight. Of course, I don’t blame him for my disorder — he never intended for his choices to be a weight-loss book for me, though sadly, they were. So knowing what I know now, it would be stupid, if not irresponsible for me to think that just because I never told our daughters to restrict or to spend hours each day exercising that they wouldn’t have understood what my “healthy” lifestyle really meant. To be clear, there are countless medical reasons why some parents chose restrictive diets, but when restriction or a diet becomes a way of life that starts to affect relationships, that’s not healthy. I knew I was wrong to shame the salad our daughter bought for lunch, which is why I reconsidered my response and told her that salad for lunch was, indeed, a healthy choice, and that it should include cheese, meat or nuts, which would keep her brain focused for the rest of her school day. She smiled at my answer. “Well, I also have cheese, eggs and chicken on my salad.” 4. How did the author feel on hearing about her daughter’s lunch? A. Unconcerned. B. Relaxed. C. Uneasy. D. Delighted. 5. What can we infer about the author’s father? A. He exercised a lot to keep fit. B. He was often on a diet. C. He once suffered from a disorder. D. He was a good model for the author. 6. What was worrying the author? A. Her kids at e too much fat every day. B. Her kids were influenced by her lifestyle. C. Her kids spent too little time exercising. D. Her kids knew nothing about food choices. 7. What kind of lunch did the author’s daughter have that day? A. Vegetarian. B. High-fat. C. Balanced. D. Weight-loss. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者通过叙述自己与女儿关于午餐选择的对话，以及自己对此事的反思，展现了作为母亲对女儿饮食习惯的关注和担忧，同时也反映了自己对过去饮食习惯的反思和对未来育儿方式的调整。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Of course the objective answer is yes. But my answer was more complicated. I couldn’t celebrate her otherwise healthy choice because I was worried she had begun to model my dieting and restrictive eating habits she saw as a younger child — habits that included lots of salad eating (and little else) and finally led to my anorexia (厌食症) nearly two years ago. Was this monkey see, monkey do?(当然，客观的回答是“是的”。但我的回答更为复杂。我不能为她这个原本健康的选择而庆祝，因为我担心她可能开始模仿我小时候看到的我节食和限制性饮食习惯——这些习惯包括大量吃沙拉（而几乎不吃其他食物），并最终导致我在大约两年前患上厌食症。这是不是“有样学样”呢？)”可知，作者对此事感到不安，担心女儿会模仿她的限制性饮食习惯。由此推知，作者对女儿午餐选择沙拉这件事感到“不安”。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“I learned something about restrictive eating from watching my own father, who often struggled with his weight.(我从观察我父亲身上学到了一些关于限制性饮食的东西，他常常为体重问题而挣扎)”可知，作者的父亲经常节食，也就是经常控制饮食以减轻体重或保持健康。由此可知，作者的父亲经常节食。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Was this monkey see, monkey do?(这是不是“有样学样”呢？)”及第五段“Even though our daughters — who are now 10, 8 and 6 — are old enough to make their own regular food choices, what my husband and I have modeled for them will make a difference.(尽管我们的女儿们——现在分别是10岁、8岁和6岁——已经可以自己选择日常的食物了，但我和丈夫为她们树立的榜样将会产生影响)”可推知，作者担心自己的生活方式会对孩子们产生影响。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I knew I was wrong to shame the salad our daughter bought for lunch, which is why I reconsidered my response and told her that salad for lunch was, indeed, a healthy choice, and that it should include cheese, meat or nuts, which would keep her brain focused for the rest of her school day. She smiled at my answer. “Well, I also have cheese, eggs and chicken on my salad.”(我知道，我为女儿买沙拉作为午餐而感到羞愧是不对的，所以我重新考虑了我的回答，并告诉她午餐吃沙拉确实是一个健康的选择，而且应该包括奶酪、肉或坚果，这些食物可以让她的大脑在剩下的学校时间里保持专注。她对我的回答笑了。“嗯，我的沙拉里还有奶酪、鸡蛋和鸡肉。”)”可知，作者的女儿所谓的沙拉不仅仅有蔬菜，还有奶酪、鸡蛋和鸡肉。由此可知，作者的女儿那天吃了一顿均衡的午餐。故选C。 C Nature’s beauty is all around you. Wild flowers shine in bright blues, yellows, and reds. Trees, with unique shaped branches, and leaves, decorate the horizon. Under your feet, pine needles, leaves, and grass give their natural beauty on the earth’s surface. But how many of you take the time to notice all of nature’s wonders? Hannah Bullen-Ryner is an artist who not only takes the time to “smell the roses”, but she uses them as a medium to craft stunning portraits of birds. Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature. Bullen-Ryner started spending time alone in the woods, foraging for materials: flowers, branches, leaves, and grass. On an impulse (冲动), she started forming a portrait of a bird with the items she had gathered. When her picture was finished, Bullen-Ryner realized that she felt calmand hopeful. The process had been healing and therapeutic (有疗效的). Bullen-Ryner tells My Modern Met, “Finding the medium of land art has allowed my art and soul to connect to the earth. As a full-time Mama of nearly three-year-old twin girls, and someone who suffers from anxiety, my art is my quiet time, my peace.” When Bullen-Ryner creates her artwork on the forest floor, she never uses glues or any other material to bond the foraged items. This means that a single breeze is able to carry away or scatter her portrait. “People often ask me why I don’t make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Bullen-Ryner explains. “But for me,” she continues, “it is the short-lived nature of what I do that has become therapy for my soul. I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, and all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature. I take some photos and then walk or cycle away, leaving it all behind and feeling calmer, more connected, and truly lighter.” 8. Why did Bullen-Ryner take up her artistic hobby? A. To kill time. B. To make more profits. C. To serve as a treatment. D. To entertain her daughters. 9. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Making. B. Answering. C. Providing. D. Seeking. 10. What do we know about Bullen-Ryner’s artwork? A It is well received with customers. B. It cannot be preserved for a long time. C. It stimulated the local tourism industry. D. It won her widespread praise domestically. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Bullen-Ryner is grateful to nature. B. Bullen-Ryner regrets what she has done. C. Bullen-Ryner is into going to work by bicycle. D. Bullen-Ryner persuades more people to participate. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Hannah Bullen-Ryner用在自然中找到的材料创作出了精美的鸟类作品，从而治愈了自己的抑郁症和焦虑症的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Bullen-Ryner, a photographer by trade, began her artistic hobby shortly after her twin daughters were born. The young mother suffered from depression and anxiety. To seek a solution, she turned to nature. (Bullen-Ryner是一名职业摄影师，在她的双胞胎女儿出生后不久就开始了她的艺术爱好。这位年轻的母亲患有抑郁症和焦虑症。为了寻求解决办法，她转向大自然。)”可知，Bullen-Ryner是一名摄影师，在她双胞胎女儿出生后开始了她的艺术爱好，她患有抑郁症和焦虑症，为了寻求解决的办法，她转向大自然，由此可知，Bullen-Ryner培养艺术爱好是为了治疗。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“On an impulse (冲动), she started forming a portrait of a bird with the items she had gathered.(由于一时冲动，她开始用收集到的东西画一只鸟的肖像。)”可知，由于冲动，她开始用收集到的东西画一只鸟的画像，结合划线单词前的“Bullen-Ryner started spending time alone in the woods(开始独自一人待在树林里)”以及划线单词后的“flowers, branches, leaves, and grass.(花，树枝，树叶和草。)”由此可推知，划线词所在句表示，Bullen-Ryner开始独自在树林里寻找材料：花、树枝、树叶和草，因此，划线词应与“寻找”意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“This means that a single breeze is able to carry away or scatter her portrait.(这意味着一缕微风就能带走或吹散她的肖像。)”及尾段中的““People often ask me why I don’t make something more permanent or they say it’s such a shame that it’s temporary,” Bullen-Ryner explains.(“人们经常问我为什么不把一些东西固定下来，或者他们说这是暂时的，太可惜了，”Bullen-Ryner解释道。)”可知，一缕微风就能带走或吹散她的画像，还有人问到她为什么不创作一些长久的，这样短暂太可惜了，由此可推知，Bullen-Ryner的艺术作品不能被长期保存。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“I get to put down all my anxieties, my fears, all the chaos from my brain and turn it into something beautiful to honor Mother Nature.(我可以放下我所有的焦虑、恐惧和大脑中所有的胡思乱想，把它变成美丽的东西来纪念大自然。)”可知，她可以放下所有的焦虑以及大脑中的胡思款项，将其变成美丽的东西纪念大自然，由此可推知，Bullen-Ryner对大自然是敬畏感恩的。故选A项。 D Blue light blocking (BLB) glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wave length light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, using this type of glasses sounds like a smart investment, right? Elizabeth Esparaz, an eye specialist based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that producers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing and doubtful. Blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy. So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses. “So to some extent, these glasses are useful to some people,” saysDr. Esparaz. But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases. As for eye strain (疲劳), a condition of the eyes usually caused by a long period of looking at screens, an Australian study showed that those wearing BLB glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And another review study, also by Australian researchers, found inadequate evidence that BLB glasses could prevent serious eye problems. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, they are maybe not as good as advertised and a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. 12. What message does Dr. Esparaz convey in paragraph 2? A Seeing is believing. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Every coin has two sides. D. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. 13. Who may benefit from wearing BLB glasses? A. People working long hours. B. People with poor sight. C. People watching the screen often. D. People with sleep problems. 14. Why does the author mention the two studies conducted by Australian researchers? A. To explain the function of BLB glasses. B. To indicate the limitations of BLB glasses. C. To show the commonness of eye problems. D. To demonstrate the influence of blue light. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Do BLB glasses really work? B. Why are BLB glasses popular? C. Is blue light a trouble maker? D. How do BLB glasses play a role? 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。防蓝光眼镜被认为可以保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波长光的影响，但是一些研究表明，防蓝光眼镜的作用很有限。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的““The sun produces much more blue light than human-made devices, and it’s actually advantageous,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It prevents the release of melatonin, a substance helping regulate our body and making us sleepy”（“太阳比人造设备产生更多的蓝光，这实际上是有利的，”埃斯帕拉兹博士说。它有助于我们的情绪和睡眠-觉醒周期。问题在于夜间的蓝光：它会阻止褪黑激素的释放，而褪黑激素是一种帮助调节我们的身体并使我们昏昏欲睡的物质。）由此可推断，蓝光具有两面性，有利又有弊。A项“眼见为实”；B项“勿以貌取人”；C项“凡事皆有两面性”；D项“甲之蜜糖，乙之砒霜”。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So, in theory, wearing BLB glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid wakefulness. A review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag (时差反应) and shift work dropped off to sleep faster after using these glasses.”（因此，从理论上讲，戴BLB眼镜应该可以帮助那些在床上看电影或晚上用平板电脑阅读的人避免醒来。俄克拉何马大学的一项综述研究回顾了之前的24项研究，发现受睡眠障碍、时差和轮班工作影响的人在戴上这种眼镜后入睡更快。）可知，防蓝光眼镜能够避免失眠，受睡眠障碍、时差反应和轮班工作影响的人在使用这类眼镜后入睡得更快，所以有睡眠问题的人可能会从防蓝光眼镜中受益。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段段尾提到“But the effectiveness is not wide and does not extend beyond certain cases.”（但效果并不广泛，也没有超出某些情况。）以及第四段中第一项研究发现戴防蓝光眼镜的人不会比戴透明眼镜的人经历更少的眼睛疲劳，第二项研究发现没有足够的证据证明防蓝光眼镜可以预防严重的眼部问题。由此可推知，作者提到这两项研究是为了说明防蓝光眼镜的局限性。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，文章开头提到防蓝光眼镜被认为可以保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯的短波长光的影响，并引出“使用防蓝光眼镜是否是明智的投资(即防蓝光眼镜是否有用)”这一话题；第二段介绍蓝光有利有弊；第三、四段通过相关研究的发现说明防蓝光眼镜的益处和不足；最后一段进行总结。故A项“BLB眼镜真的有用吗？”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。故选A。 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。 What is sustainable travel?

Traveling sustainably means being aware of the impact of tourism on the environment and following good practices to reduce the negative effects. Planet Earth has limited resources and mass tourism puts their existence at risk.(什么是可持续旅游？可持续旅游意味着意识到旅游业对环境的影响，并遵循良好的做法来减少负面影响。地球上的资源有限，大众旅游使它们的生存处于危险之中。)”可知，可持续旅游意味着意识到旅游业对环境的影响，并遵循良好的做法来减少负面影响。选项D“Therefore, sustainable travel is a way to preserve nature.(因此，可持续旅游是保护自然的一种方式。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是可持续旅游是保护自然的一种方式。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据空前“From renewable energy production to bio-architecture, eco-friendly accommodations focus on preserving the environment and have positive environmental effects.(从可再生能源生产到生物建筑，生态友好型住宿注重保护环境，并对环境产生积极影响。)”以及空后“Staying in eco-friendly accommodations also supports the local economy.(住在环保的房子里也能促进当地经济。)”可知，上下文都和生态友好型住宿相关，都介绍了生态友好型住宿的好处。选项A“However, this is not all.(然而，这还不是全部。)”承上启下，与上下文内容相符。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文内容“By using public transport, the number of cars on the roads decreases and less carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) is released into the atmosphere. Also, fewer vehicle s reduce traffic congestion(阻塞) on the roads.(通过使用公共交通工具，道路上的汽车数量减少，二氧化碳被释放到大气中。车辆的减少也会减少交通堵塞。)”可知，本段讲述的是乘坐公共交通工具的好处。选项F“This practice helps reduce air pollution and improve traffic flow.(这种做法有助于减少空气污染和改善交通流量。)”中的“this practice”指的是本段的小标题“Take public transportation”，而内容则是下文内容的总结，指的是乘坐公共交通工具有助于减少空气污染和改善交通流量。故选F。 【19题详解】 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Interaction with locals is one of the most rewarding things about sustainable travel and preserves traditions passed down from generation to generation. It is essential to respect traditions as they form the identity of the local community and create a sense of unity among people.(与当地人互动是可持续旅行中最有价值的事情之一，并保留了代代相传的传统。尊重传统是至关重要的，因为它们构成了当地社区的身份，并在人们之间创造了一种团结的感觉。)”可知，本段讲述的是要尊重当地的传统。选项C“Respect the culture of local communities.(尊重当地社区文化。)”与本段内容相符，是本段的主要内容。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“Saying NO to single-use plastics reduces pollution. The production of plastics uses fossil fuels(化石燃料) and therefore releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.(对一次性塑料说不可以减少污染。塑料的生产使用化石燃料，因此向大气中释放二氧化碳，导致气候变化。)”可知，上文讲述的是塑料对空气的影响。选项G“In addition, numerous plastics end up in oceans every year, threatening sea life.(此外，每年都有大量的塑料进入海洋，威胁着海洋生物。)”延续上文内容，指的是塑料对海洋的影响。从而自然引出本段的主题，即“Say NO to single-use plastics.(对一次性塑料说不。)”故选G。 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。 As a first-generation Asian immigrant (移民) who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond ____21____ to be admitted into Harvard.

With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience. Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell. On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman. “I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face. A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】佳作展台 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs. Wilson, she would treat Mrs. Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs. Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs. Wilson feel she was cared about. Influenced by Sarah’s kindness，Mrs. Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Surah’s deserts, Mrs. Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream. Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness. Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生Sarah对烘焙充满热情，她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获得实践经验，她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位，出售自制的曲奇和蛋糕。一天，她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的长椅上陷入沉思。Sarah给老人端来一杯茶喝一块巧克力蛋糕，并开始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人，退休前是一名烘焙师，自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居，来公园是她躲避孤独的方式。Sarah倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事，内心深受触动。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Sarah决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知，第一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系，并且随着两人之间对话和互动更加频繁，关系进一步深化。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，她们难以置信的友谊在公园引起了注意。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah的善举引发了人们的关注，越来越多的人付出爱心，关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人。还可以描写Sarah的烘焙能力得到大家的认可，最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。 2.续写线索：Sarah请威尔逊夫人吃甜点——两人聊天——Sarah安慰威尔逊夫人——悲伤逐渐消除——威尔逊夫人分享烘焙经验——威尔逊夫人得到更多关爱——Sarah最终开了烘焙店。 3.词汇激活 行为类 招待/款待某人：treat sb. to/offer sb. hospitality 摆脱：get out of/get rid of 影响：influence/affect 吸引：attract/appeal to 情绪类 关心他人的：caring/thoughtful 令人感动的：moving/touching 【点睛】[高分句型1]Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness.（运用了whose引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop.（运用了过去分词作状语） 听力 CBBAC BBAAB CABCB AABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
