This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time. Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions, such as her further study in a technical school after her elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was dominated by men. Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome, where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were empty, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs (面包屑) that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning materials, these and other young minds could be trained, Montessori concluded. The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood. At its centre was the principle (原则) that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control. Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907. When the Fascists (法西斯主义者) first came into power in Italy in 1922, they welcomed her movement at the beginning. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom of expression. Montessori's values had always been about human respect and the rights of children and women, but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame. Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81. 4. What was the main reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method? A. Her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic. B. Her family’s supportive influence on her education. C. Her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men. D. Her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily. 5. What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method? A. Focusing on group competition. B. Taking control of children’s action. C. Providing one-size-fits-all learning materials. D. Creating a free and child-centered environment. 6 Why did Montessori decide to leave Italy in 1934? A. She was offered a better job in a different country. B. She was forced to give up her work and her fame. C. She wanted to avoid the influence from the Fascist. D. She wanted to explore other countries and cultures. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage? A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Observant and innovative. C. Cooperative and generous. D. Traditional and emotional. C In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 8. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 9. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3&4? A. Sticking to continuous learning B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 10. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B. To show the importance of making mistakes. C To emphasize the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 11. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Harmony of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The significance of Hands-on Experience. D Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today? Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions. Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with computers. They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to that of a human. Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond. With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you’ve asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again. From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes,chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions. 12. Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in Paragraph 1? A. To explain how a chatbot works. B. To show where to find a chatbot. C. To give examples of chatbots. D. To compare different chatbots. 13. What is the basis of chatbots? A Language study. B. Data transmission. C. Social interaction. D. Natural language processing. 14. What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Inspire. B. Strengthen. C. Organize. D. Match. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The future trend of chatbots. B. The author’s predictions. C. The effects of chatbots. D. The applications of chatbots. 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。 Apologizing for a mistake might seem difficult, but it will help you repair and improve your relationships with others after that offense (冒犯). Acknowledge the offense. This is an essential element of a good apology. ___16___Apologies are most likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying “I made a mistake” is more effective than saying“mistakes were made”, which fails to clarify responsibility. ___17___In some cases, it’s helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e. g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect. Express regret.___18___ Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused. Be careful of phrases like “That was uncharacteristic of me.” ___19___ Instead, acknowledge your disappointment in yourself and your commitment to improve. Tell them how you’ll change. Let them know how you’ll change and what you’d do to make that possible. For instance, if you’ve been late once again, instead of just apologizing, share how you’d keep an early alarm to be on time! ___20___ A. Provide a proper explanation. B. Express your intention clearly. C. But many apologies don’t do this enough. D. When you hurt someone, it’s natural to feel shame or regret. E. A true apology is one where you promise it won’t be repeated again. F. This might show that you aren’t taking full ownership for what happened. G. This will enable you to know what means the most to the offended person. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On March 18, 2018, I was alone at home in Costa Rica, unaware that my life was about to change.

I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence. When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊心) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone. One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle (奇迹) to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas. I was a little surprised. Me? Onstage? In a public speaking contest? I was hesitant. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d’Anjou, where the competition would take place. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my academic performance. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Four months later, the big night arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年春学期高二年级阶段性练习 英 语 注意事项： 1．本试卷分为选择题和非选择题，满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 2．请将选择题的答案填涂在答题卷上，非选题请直接在答题卷上规定的地方作答。答题前，务必将自己的学校、姓名、考试号等相关信息写在答题卷上规定的地方。 第I卷 (选择题，共95 分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在调研卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将调研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。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.

This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time. Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions such as her further study in a technical school after her elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was dominated by men. Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome, where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were empty, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs (面包屑) that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning materials, these and other young minds could be trained, Montessori concluded. The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood. At its centre was the principle (原则) that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control. Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907. When the Fascists (法西斯主义者) first came into power in Italy in 1922, they welcomed her movement at the beginning. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom of expression. Montessori's values had always been about human respect and the rights of children and women, but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame. Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81. 4. What was the main reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method? A. Her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic. B. Her family’s supportive influence on her education. C. Her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men. D. Her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily. 5. What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method? A. Focusing on group competition. B. Taking control of children’s action. C. Providing one-size-fits-all learning materials. D. Creating a free and child-centered environment. 6. Why did Montessori decide to leave Italy in 1934? A. She was offered a better job in a different country. B She was forced to give up her work and her fame. C. She wanted to avoid the influence from the Fascist. D. She wanted to explore other countries and cultures. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage? A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Observant and innovative. C. Cooperative and generous. D. Traditional and emotional. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了教育家蒙台梭利是如何发展出新的教育方法的，其教育方法的特色以及影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs (面包屑) that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty.(一天，她发现孩子们正兴高采烈地玩着掉在地上的面包屑。她突然想到，一些智力缺陷的根源可能与贫穷有关)”可知，蒙台梭利发展一种新的教育方法的主要原因是她观察到孩子们开心地玩面包屑。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“At its centre was the principle (原则) that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should a so be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control.(它的核心原则是，所有的学习材料都应该适合儿童，并设计成能吸引所有感官。此外，每个孩子也应该被允许自由移动和行动，并发挥他们的创造力和解决问题的能力。老师们扮演了向导的角色，在没有压力和控制的情况下支持孩子们)”可知，文中所描述的蒙台梭利教育方法的核心原则是营造自由、以儿童为中心的学习环境。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy.(当法西斯主义者试图影响学校的教育内容时，事情达到了一个突破点，1934年蒙台梭利和她的儿子决定离开意大利)”可知，1934年，蒙台梭利决定离开意大利，因为她想避免法西斯分子对她工作的影响。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.(这一观察结果将引导蒙台梭利发展一种新的教育方法，专注于在儿童的敏感时期提供最佳的刺激)”以及倒数第二段“Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907.(1907年，蒙台梭利开办了她的第一所儿童之家)”可推知，蒙台梭利是善于观察和创新的。故选B。 C In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 8. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 9. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3&4? A. Sticking to continuous learning B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 10. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B. To show the importance of making mistakes. C. To emphasize the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 11. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Harmony of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The significance of Hands-on Experience. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。在数字时代，过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题，因此，在学习过程中，实践经验能帮助我们更全面的理解学习的知识，从而实现目标。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.(然而，有一种现象是，过度学习可能导致无所作为，一种被太多信息淹没的状态。)”可知，数字时代给学习提供太多的信息，这些信息给人们带来困惑，由此可知，是这些信息带来的困惑阻止了人们达到学习的目标。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. (这种情况是一个常见的陷阱:无休止地追求更多的信息。虽然获得全面的知识是有价值的，也就是说，学习很多知识并没有错，但当这种追求阻碍了实际应用时，问题就出现了。)”可知，作者认为学习很多知识并没有错，但当这种追求阻碍了实际应用时，就出现了问题，结合第四段中的“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.(实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和实践之间取得平衡。)”可知，在学习与实践之间要寻求一种平衡，由此可推断，作者是建议人们要立刻采取实际行动。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.(这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解。)”可知，学习的最好方法是通过实践去积累经验，结合第五段“A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.(婴儿不是通过坐着和分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反，它通过尝试走路和摔倒来学习，然后从每次跌倒中了解什么有用，什么没用。通过反复的努力，最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于目标实现。通过参与行动，从结果中学习，并做出相应的调整，你会逐渐接近你的目标)”可知，婴儿是通过不断的实践学习走路，在行动中不断地积累经验，由此可知，第五段通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子来解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章全文，尤其是最后一段“In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations.(总之，虽然追求知识是有价值的，但重要的是不要让它成为行动的障碍。学习应该是行动的垫脚石，而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着我们的愿望前进。)”可知，在追求知识价值时，不能将其称为行动的障碍，由此可知，本文介绍在学习过程中，应将信息和实践相结合，这样能更好地实现目标，所以题目“学与做的和谐”与本文主旨相符。故选A项。 D Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today? Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions. Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with computers. They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to that of a human. Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond. With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you’ve asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again. From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes,chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions. 12. Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in Paragraph 1? A. To explain how a chatbot works. B. To show where to find a chatbot. C. To give examples of chatbots. D. To compare different chatbots. 13. What is the basis of chatbots? A. Language study. B. Data transmission. C. Social interaction. D. Natural language processing. 14. What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Inspire. B. Strengthen. C. Organize. D. Match. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The future trend of chatbots. B. The author’s predictions. C. The effects of chatbots. D. The applications of chatbots. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了聊天机器人的工作原理和应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.”（即使你没有和Siri或Alexa进行过对话，你也可能在网上遇到过聊天机器人。它们经常出现在聊天窗口中，并弹出友好的问候：感谢您访问我们的网站）可知，为什么作者在第一段提到了Siri和Alexa是给出聊天机器人的例子。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP)”（两者都依赖于机器学习和自然语言处理(NLP)等人工智能技术。）可知，聊天机器人的基础是是自然语言处理。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions.”（聊天机器人和你交流得越多，它就越能理解你，也就越能学会像你和其他有类似问题的人一样交流）以及下文“then it uses those answers again.”（然后它会再次使用这些答案。）可知，“Your positive responses reinforce its answers”表达的意思是“你的积极回应强化了它的答案”，划线词reinforce与Strengthen“巩固，强化”意思一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes,chatbots have started to enter our lives.In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites,answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries,from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.”（从在线客服聊天机器人到家庭私人助理，聊天机器人已经开始进入我们的生活。几乎在每个行业，公司都在使用聊天机器人来帮助客户轻松浏览网站，回答简单的问题，并将人们引导到相关的联络点。Siri和Alexa等个人助理的设计目的是响应各种场景和查询，从当前天气和新闻更新到个人日历、音乐选择和随机问题）可知，最后一段主要是关于聊天机器人的应用。故选D项。 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。 Apologizing for a mistake might seem difficult, but it will help you repair and improve your relationships with others after that offense (冒犯). Acknowledge the offense. This is an essential element of a good apology. ___16___Apologies are most likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying “I made a mistake” is more effective than saying“mistakes were made”, which fails to clarify responsibility. ___17___In some cases, it’s helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e. g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect. Express regret.___18___ Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused. Be careful of phrases like “That was uncharacteristic of me.” ___19___ Instead, acknowledge your disappointment in yourself and your commitment to improve. Tell them how you’ll change. Let them know how you’ll change and what you’d do to make that possible. For instance, if you’ve been late once again, instead of just apologizing, share how you’d keep an early alarm to be on time! ___20___ A. Provide a proper explanation. B. Express your intention clearly. C But many apologies don’t do this enough. D. When you hurt someone, it’s natural to feel shame or regret. E. A true apology is one where you promise it won’t be repeated again. F. This might show that you aren’t taking full ownership for what happened. G. This will enable you to know what means the most to the offended person. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了如何为自己的错误道歉。 【16题详解】 下文“Apologies are most likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying ‘I made a mistake’ is more effective than saying ‘mistakes were made’, which fails to clarify responsibility.(如果你表现出你认识到谁应该负责，谁受到了伤害，那么道歉最有可能被接受。例如，说“我犯了一个错误”比说“犯了错误”更有效，因为“犯了错误”无法明确责任)”通过举例的方式说明道歉要明确，要真诚，为C项“But many apologies don’t do this enough.(但很多道歉都不足以做到这一点)”中提出的问题提供应对策略，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【17题详解】 设空处是段首主题句，根据下文“In some cases, it’s helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e. g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect.(在某些情况下，解释一个冒犯是有帮助的，尤其是解释它不是故意的，并且不会再发生。但是，冗长的解释，听起来像借口，或指责受害者(例如，你真的让我心烦意乱)往往会产生相反的效果)”可知，本段主要讲要对冒犯进行合理的解释，所以A项“Provide a proper explanation.(提供一个恰当的解释)”是最佳主题句。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused.(表达这些感受表明你认识到并后悔你造成的痛苦)”和指代关系可知，上文中会出现“these feelings”指代的情绪，同时这些情绪和给别人带来痛苦有关，D项“When you hurt someone, it’s natural to feel shame or regret. (当你伤害了别人，感到羞愧或后悔是很自然的)”中“shame or regret”即下文指代对象，同时是给别人带来痛苦后的感受，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【19题详解】 上文“Be careful of phrases like ‘That was uncharacteristic of me.’(小心像“那不是我的风格”这样的措词)”提出在表达道歉时，用些措词要慎用，F项“This might show that you aren’t taking full ownership for what happened.(这可能表明你没有为发生的事情承担全部责任)”解释了原因：说“那不是我的风格”说明自己并没有为发生的事情承担全部责任。上下文衔接自然。故选F项。 【20题详解】 上文“Tell them how you’ll change. Let them know how you’ll change and what you’d do to make that possible.(告诉他们你会如何改变。让他们知道你将如何改变，以及你会做些什么来实现这一目标)”提出道歉要承诺改变，给出方法，E项“A true apology is one where you promise it won’t be repeated again.(真正的道歉是你保证不会再犯)”承接上文，说明承诺改变，给出方法才是真正的道歉，照应本段主题。故选E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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On March 18, 2018, I was alone at home in Costa Rica, unaware that my life was about to change.

I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence. When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊心) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone. One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle (奇迹) to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas. I was a little surprised. Me? Onstage? In a public speaking contest? I was hesitant. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d’Anjou, where the competition would take place. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my academic performance. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Four months later, the big night arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Four months later, the big night arrived. Waiting anxiously alongside the other competitors, I couldn’t keep from trembling. Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to control my emotions, murmuring to myself, “You can do it!” Finally, it was my turn. I adjusted my clothes, confidently rose to my feet and strode (大步走) onto the stage. I stood there and firmly began my speech, which I had practiced hundreds of times. Words smoothly flew out of my mouth like a beautiful melody, and it was then that I spotted my father in the audience. When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. Somehow, I gained energy from his expression and finished the speech smoothly. Sitting by my dad, I waited for the result and the previous tightness was replaced by a sense of relief. Dad gently patted my shoulder, saying, “Well done,” and gave me a big hug. “I now realize how wrong I was to criticize you all the time. I should have appreciated you more.” Hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the surroundings. It turned out I got the first prize and we cheered happily. Since then, I have looked at the world with brand-new confidence, heading toward my bright future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候非常敏感和害羞，努力学习以获得优异的成绩。作者14岁时，父母离婚，作者跟随父亲一起生活，但是父亲很忙，很少有时间陪作者。似乎他唯一一次对作者说话就是提出要求或批评，为此作者对自己没有什么信心。一天作者的阿姨打电话让他参加公开演讲比赛，刚开始作者犹豫不决，但是阿姨鼓励他，相信他，最终作者同意参加比赛。之后一整个冬天，作者都每周两次在晚饭后乘坐三辆不同的巴士往返三个小时，前往比赛举办地进行训练。最终作者顺利完成了比赛，获得了一等奖，作者的父亲意识到自己应该欣赏孩子而不是批评。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“四个月后，重要的夜晚到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加比赛时很紧张，但努力控制自己的情绪，在台上流利地演讲。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我看到父亲的脸时，他的眼睛闪闪发光——他是那么自豪。”可知，第二段可描写作者从父亲自豪的眼神获得力量顺利完成比赛。赛后，父亲鼓励称赞作者，意识到自己应该多欣赏作者而不是批评，作者听到父亲的话后很感动，最后作者获得了一等奖。 2.续写线索：上台演讲——紧张——深呼吸，鼓励自己——站在舞台上流利地演讲——看到父亲自豪的眼神——获得力量顺利完成比赛——父亲意识到自己应该多欣赏作者而不是批评——作者感动——获得第一名——自此作者很自信 3.词汇激活行为类 ①低语：murmur/whisper ②认出：spot/identify ③获得：gain/get/acquire 情绪类 ①不安地：anxiously/restlessly ②高兴地：happily/gladly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I stood there and firmly began my speech, which I had practiced hundreds of times.（由运用了which引导的非限制定语从句） [高分句型2]I now realize how wrong I was to criticize you all the time. （由关how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3]Hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the surroundings.（由现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
