B Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion. On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health. So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform. But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said. Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media. In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”. 24. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court? A. Her interaction with others online. B. Negative information on social media platforms. C. Short videos she watched on the Internet. D. Her addiction to online posts. 25. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with? A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited. B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance. C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents. D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses. 26. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan? A. Parents. B. Social media platforms C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms. 27. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do? A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage. C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media. C My parents and teachers-even some of my friends—think I’m quiet and shy, really smart but not very cool. In fact, that’s who I am when I am with them, but not who I really am. The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists. As soon as we met, we really hit it off. As we talked about the conference, we discovered that all three of us were interested in space debris mitigation, which is the study of the prevention of space garbage damaging satellites and the new space station. It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type (小行星之类的) things? I played a videogame about that once.” Luckily, we met each other on the first day of the conference, so we were able to spend a lot of time together for the entire three days. We talked about everything from the best schools to go to, what degrees to get, and even the names of the best people in each field. We want to study with the pioneers. Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles. Graham wants to study under Didier Patrick Queloz, the physics Nobel winner from the University of Cambridge. Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.” 28. What does the underlined phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Competed seriously. B. Prepared fully. C. Got on well. D. Stood out fast. 29. What might the author feel when he talks about space garbage with his classmates? A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised. 30. What can be learned about Claude Phipps? A. He is a Nobel Prizewinner in physics. B. He finds some asteroid-type things. C. He reduces the price of space vehicles. D. He contributes to dealing with space garbage. 31. What message does the author most want to give us? A. A friend is a second self. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. A friend to all is a friend to none. D. A friend is easier lost than found. D There’s a huge amount of science about dreaming but we still don’t know much about it. It’s not even clear if everyone does it: it has been proved that everyone experiences rapid eye movement(REM) sleep, but whether those who claim they never dream really don’t, or do dream but simply don’t remember it after waking, isn’t clear. Nor is the way in which dreams are formed in the brain entirely understood, let alone why it happens. However, many researchers have long believed that bad dreams allow us to safely “act out” potentially dangerous situations before they occur in real life. And a new study seems to add weight to that theory. The researchers asked 18 volunteers to wear headsets while they slept and then woke them several times during the night to ask them a series of questions about whether they’d been dreaming, and if that dream involved fear. They then compared the volunteers’ answers to their mapped brain activity during sleep. They discovered that during “scary” dreams, two areas of the subjects’ brains were particularly active: the insula (脑岛) and the cingulate cortex (扣带皮层). During the day, the former is involved in identifying and evaluating emotional responses, while the latter is responsible for preparing the body’s physical reaction to threats. In the second part of the study, 89 participants kept a dream diary for a week, and were then shown a series of unhappy images. In subjects who reported having a lot of frightening dreams, the images caused less of a response in the two brain regions than those who reported few or none. What’s more, those who’d had more bad dreams showed more activity in a region of the brain that’s known to reduce the fear response. “Dreams maybe considered as real training for our future reactions and may potentially prepare us to face real-life dangers,” said lead researcher Lampros Perogamvros. 32. Which of the following is scientifically clear according to the text? A. Whether some people never dream. B. How the brain works during REM sleep. C. Whether everyone experiences REM sleep. D. Why some people forget their dreams after waking. 33. What were the participants in the first part of the study asked to do? A. Keep a dream diary for a week. B. Wear headsets all day long. C. Try to create fear in their dreams. D. Answer questions about their dreams. 34. Why were the participants in the second part of the study shown unhappy images? A. To test their reaction to fear. B. To cause them to dream bad dreams. C. To weaken their f car response. D. To find out why they had bad dreams. 35. What did the new study find? A. Bad dreams can reveal people’s real fears. B. Bad dreams have a huge effect on people’s lives. C. Bad dreams are very likely to become real dangers people will face. D. Bad dreams may prepare people for potentially frightening situations. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Your Clothes Last Longer We have to throw out some clothes that we love just because we’ve not taken good care of them.

Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end. Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city — at age 38, I certainly didn’t expect to win or come close to winning. I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their fanilies to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship. It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把……别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again? Could I even finish the race? I wondered. Before long, someone spoke into a microphole, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale (秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony (仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony. Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Paragraph 1: Soon after, the race started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看。听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题，你将听到以下内容。Excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial (商业的) bungee jump in the world. (蹦极是享誉盛名的活动之一。AJ Hackett澳门塔蹦极跳高233米，是世界上商业蹦极跳最高的吉尼斯世界纪录)”可知，如果游客想做极限运动，例如蹦极，他们应该去The Macao Tower。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由Harbin’s Frozen World中的“You can have hotpot at the restaurants which are made of ice, enjoying the product of both ice and fire, go down the world’s longest ice slide (滑梯) and join in the popular Ice and Snow Electronic Music Festival to welcome 2024. (你可以在冰做的餐厅吃火锅，享受冰与火的结合，沿着世界上最长的冰滑道滑下去，参加流行的冰雪电子音乐节，迎接2022年的到来)”可知，在Harbin’s Frozen World游客能参加一个著名的音乐节。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由Shanghai Expo Culture Park中的“while in the southern section lies a grand theater (而南段则有一座大剧院)”和Harbin’s Frozen World中的“Harbin Grand Theater is where artistic souls defrost (化霜) a little to share their love of art.

On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health. So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform. But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said. Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media. In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”. 24. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court? A. Her interaction with others online. B. Negative information on social media platforms. C. Short videos she watched on the Internet. D. Her addiction to online posts. 25. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with? A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited. B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance. C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents. D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses. 26. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan? A. Parents. B. Social media platforms C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms. 27. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do? A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage. C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了社交媒体与青少年心理健康之间的关系并提出一些建议防止社交媒体危害青少年心理健康。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. (据《观察家报》网站报道，在Russell患上抑郁症的6个月里，她浏览了2100条有关悲观、自残的帖子。)”可知，是因为社交媒体平台上的负面信息导致了她的抑郁症。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand? (既然不可能切断年轻用户对社交媒体的访问，为什么不引入一种“监督模式”，父母可以事先监管青少年观看的内容？)”可知，她认为家长应该提前监控青少年观看的内容。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful. (过滤掉可能有害的内容，最终是社交媒体平台的责任。)”可知，她认为社交媒体平台应该最终负责删除负面内容。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy(素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. (在Wu看来，今天的青少年应该提高他们的社交媒体素养，辨别真假和好坏。)”可知，Wu建议青少年应该理智使用社交媒体。故选A。 C My parents and teachers-even some of my friends—think I’m quiet and shy, really smart but not very cool. In fact, that’s who I am when I am with them, but not who I really am. The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists. As soon as we met, we really hit it off. As we talked about the conference, we discovered that all three of us were interested in space debris mitigation, which is the study of the prevention of space garbage damaging satellites and the new space station. It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type (小行星之类的) things? I played a videogame about that once.” Luckily, we met each other on the first day of the conference, so we were able to spend a lot of time together for the entire three days. We talked about everything from the best schools to go to, what degrees to get, and even the names of the best people in each field. We want to study with the pioneers. Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles. Graham wants to study under Didier Patrick Queloz, the physics Nobel winner from the University of Cambridge. Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.” 28. What does the underlined phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Competed seriously. B. Prepared fully. C. Got on well. D. Stood out fast. 29. What might the author feel when he talks about space garbage with his classmates? A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised. 30. What can be learned about Claude Phipps? A. He is a Nobel Prizewinner in physics. B. He finds some asteroid-type things. C. He reduces the price of space vehicles. D. He contributes to dealing with space garbage. 31. What message does the author most want to give us? A. A friend is a second self. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. A friend to all is a friend to none. D. A friend is easier lost than found. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述作者和汤姆·亨德森以及格雷厄姆·巴里的友谊，告诉我们朋友是另一个自己。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists.(当我和更像我的人在一起时，真正的我就会表现出来，比如汤姆·亨德森和格雷厄姆·巴里。我在去年的一次青年科学家竞赛中遇到了汤姆和格雷厄姆。我们三个都进入了最后五人的决赛。)”可知，作者觉得和汤姆·亨德森和格雷厄姆·巴里一见如故。由此可推知，hit it off意为“相处的很好”。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type (小行星之类的) things? I played a videogame about that once.”(很高兴能遇到和我同龄的人，他们知道我在说什么。当我谈到“太空垃圾”时，我学校的大多数孩子只会说:“哦，你是说小行星之类的东西吗？我曾经玩过一款与此相关的电子游戏。”)”可推知，当作者和他的同学谈论太空垃圾时，同学却说的游戏，因此他会感到很失望，因为没有共同语言，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles.(汤姆和我都想和克劳德·菲普斯博士一起学习，他发明了一种激光，可以在太空垃圾对昂贵的太空飞行器造成损害之前将其击碎。)”可知，他为处理太空垃圾做出了贡献。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry.(当我和更像我的人在一起时，真正的我就会表现出来，比如汤姆·亨德森和格雷厄姆·巴里。)”和文章最后一段“Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.”(虽然我们三个没有机会经常见面，但我们仍然是最好的朋友。我们每个月打几次电话。当我和汤姆和格雷厄姆谈话时，我总是感到很高兴。就像我身体里的另一个人醒了。和他们在一起，我就是我的“真正的影子”。)”可推知，作者想要告诉我们朋友是另一个自己。故选A。 D There’s a huge amount of science about dreaming but we still don’t know much about it. It’s not even clear if everyone does it: it has been proved that everyone experiences rapid eye movement(REM) sleep, but whether those who claim they never dream really don’t, or do dream but simply don’t remember it after waking, isn’t clear. Nor is the way in which dreams are formed in the brain entirely understood, let alone why it happens. However, many researchers have long believed that bad dreams allow us to safely “act out” potentially dangerous situations before they occur in real life. And a new study seems to add weight to that theory. The researchers asked 18 volunteers to wear headsets while they slept and then woke them several times during the night to ask them a series of questions about whether they’d been dreaming, and if that dream involved fear. They then compared the volunteers’ answers to their mapped brain activity during sleep. They discovered that during “scary” dreams, two areas of the subjects’ brains were particularly active: the insula (脑岛) and the cingulate cortex (扣带皮层). During the day, the former is involved in identifying and evaluating emotional responses, while the latter is responsible for preparing the body’s physical reaction to threats. In the second part of the study, 89 participants kept a dream diary for a week, and were then shown a series of unhappy images. In subjects who reported having a lot of frightening dreams, the images caused less of a response in the two brain regions than those who reported few or none. What’s more, those who’d had more bad dreams showed more activity in a region of the brain that’s known to reduce the fear response. “Dreams maybe considered as real training for our future reactions and may potentially prepare us to face real-life dangers,” said lead researcher Lampros Perogamvros. 32. Which of the following is scientifically clear according to the text? A. Whether some people never dream. B. How the brain works during REM sleep. C. Whether everyone experiences REM sleep. D. Why some people forget their dreams after waking. 33. What were the participants in the first part of the study asked to do? A. Keep a dream diary for a week. B. Wear headsets all day long. C. Try to create fear in their dreams. D. Answer questions about their dreams. 34. Why were the participants in the second part of the study shown unhappy images? A. To test their reaction to fear. B. To cause them to dream bad dreams. C. To weaken their f car response. D. To find out why they had bad dreams. 35. What did the new study find? A. Bad dreams can reveal people’s real fears. B. Bad dreams have a huge effect on people’s lives. C. Bad dreams are very likely to become real dangers people will face. D. Bad dreams may prepare people for potentially frightening situations. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一项关于做梦的新研究，该研究发现，噩梦可能会让人们为潜在的可怕情况做好准备。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“it has been proved that everyone experiences rapid eye movement(REM) sleep(有证据表明，每个人都经历过快速眼动睡眠（REM）)”可知，科学表明，每个人都经历过快速眼动睡眠，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers asked 18 volunteers to wear headsets while they slept and then woke them several times during the night to ask them a series of questions about whether they’d been dreaming, and if that dream involved fear.(研究人员要求18名志愿者在睡觉时戴上耳机，然后在夜间叫醒他们几次，问他们一系列问题，询问他们是否在做梦，以及这个梦是否涉及恐惧)”可知，第一部分研究的参与者被要求回答关于梦境的问题，故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In the second part of the study, 89 participants kept a dream diary for a week, and were then shown a series of unhappy images. In subjects who reported having a lot of frightening dreams, the images caused less of a response in the two brain regions than those who reported few or none. What’s more, those who’d had more bad dreams showed more activity in a region of the brain that’s known to reduce the fear response.(在研究的第二部分，89名参与者写了一周的梦境日记，然后给他们看了一系列不开心的图片。在那些报告做了很多可怕梦的受试者中，这些图片在两个大脑区域引起的反应比那些报告很少或没有的人要少。更重要的是，那些做了更多噩梦的人在大脑中减少恐惧反应的区域表现出更多的活动)”可知，给第二部分的参与者看一些令人不悦的图片是为了测试他们对恐惧的反应，故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, many researchers have long believed that bad dreams allow us to safely ‘act out’ potentially dangerous situations before they occur in real life. And a new study seems to add weight to that theory.(然而，许多研究人员一直认为，噩梦可以让我们在现实生活中潜在的危险情况发生之前安全地‘表演’出来。一项新的研究似乎为这一理论增加了分量)”和最后一段中“Dreams maybe considered as real training for our future reactions and may potentially prepare us to face real-life dangers(梦可以被认为是对我们未来反应的真正训练，可能会让我们准备好面对现实生活中的危险)”可知，新研究发现，噩梦可能会让人们为潜在的可怕情况做好准备，故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Your Clothes Last Longer We have to throw out some clothes that we love just because we’ve not taken good care of them.

Chinese Zodiac Loong is ____58____ fifth of the 12 zodiac animals, following the Rat, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit. People born in the year of dragon are ____59____ (general) born with the zodiac dragon characteristics. They have an ambitious target and never give up. Back in the pre-Qin period over 2,200 years ago, there was already the Chinese zodiac signs theory. So it is ____60____(reason) that Chinese Zodiac years are in agreement with the beginning of Chinese Lunar New Year. If you have an idea of lunar calendar, you will know a Chinese zodiac year often starts from late January and ends in middle February of the next year. Therefore,____61____ (see) what your Chinese zodiac animal is, you need to change your Gregorian calendar birthday to lunar calendar of the year you were born. For example, if you were born ____62____ February 16, 1988(a year of the Loong), the Lunar New Year's Eve,____63____ was very close to Loong year, but you are a Rabbit. ____64____ is also worth mentioning is that if two people were born in the different Loong years, they may have very different ____65____ (personality), due to the Five Elements, which are Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each element comes in a 60-year cycle. 【答案】56. or 57. is represented 58. the 59. generally 60. reasonable 61. to see 62. on 63. which 64. What 65. personalities 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国十二生肖年份中的龙年。 【56题详解】 考查连词。句意：中国的十二生肖，也被称为生肖或属相，是一个重复的12年循环。每一年都由一种动物代表。分析句意可知，空格前后表选择关系，所以用连词or表示被称为生肖“或”属相。故填or。 【57题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：同上。分析句意可知，represent和主语Each year之间是被动关系，且本句描述的是一般事实，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，又因为主语是第三人称单数，所以be动词用is。故填is represented。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：龙是十二生肖中的第五只，排在鼠、牛、虎、兔之后。根据空格后的序数词  fifth可知，序数词前面应该用定冠词the。故填the。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：龙年出生的人一般都具有生肖龙的特征。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的副词形式generally作状语表示“一般地”。故填generally。 【60题详解】 考查形容词。句意：因此，中国的生肖年与中国农历新年的开始是一致的，这是合理的。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的形容词形式reasonable作表语，表示“合理的”。故填reasonable。 【61题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：因此，要想知道你的生肖是什么，你需要把你的公历生日改成你出生那年的阴历。分析句意可知，此处用提示词的动词不定式形式表目的。故填to see。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，如果你出生在1988年2月16日(龙年)，农历除夕，这是非常接近龙年，但你是属兔的。根据空格后的February 16, 1988可知，在具体的某一天，应该用介词on。故填on。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词the Lunar New Year's Eve是物，且在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。 【64题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：另外值得一提的是，如果两个人出生在不同的龙年，他们可能会有非常不同的性格，因为五行是金、木、水、火、土。每种元素以60年为一个周期。分析句式结构可知，此处是主语从句，且从句中缺少主语，所以用连接代词what来引导，表示“……的”，且位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填What。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。因为personality是可数名词，再根据空格前的different可知，此处应该用名词的复数形式。故填personalities。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 世界野生动植物日(World Wildlife Day)即将来临。请你给你校的英语刊物写一则倡议书，号召同学们保护野生动植物。内容包括: 1.许多野生动植物处于濒危状态; 2.保护野生动植物的重要性; 3.号召同学们积极行动起来。 注意: 1.词数80左右; 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 【答案】Dear schoolmates, We are not alone in the world.

Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end. Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city — at age 38, I certainly didn’t expect to win or come close to winning. I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their fanilies to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship. It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把……别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again? Could I even finish the race? I wondered. Before long, someone spoke into a microphole, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale (秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony (仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony. Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Paragraph 1: Soon after, the race started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon after, the race started. While I was running, I saw many runners pass me on the way. Minutes later, I already felt tired. However, to encourage those in need, I tried to show the best of me, without worrying about the result. I kept moving forward as fast as I could. After most runners finished the race, I finally made it to the finish line. Despite the tiredness, I was satisfied. Shortly after the race, the award ceremony began and several awards were presented. Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. Confused and excited, I walked up to the winner’s platform and was awarded a medal. As the crowd cheered and clapped loudly, I felt warmth in my heart. After the ceremony, I learned from my friend Jim that there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Although I only beat one person, Jim praised me for my determination, courage, and kindness. Honestly, I was proud of myself. This race increased my love for running and my confidence in myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述作者为了支持朋友负责的跑步比赛，来为医院里不幸的病人筹集资金，在比赛中意外地获奖的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“不久之后，比赛开始了。”可知，跑步比赛开始了，该段描述跑步比赛的情况。 ②由第二段首句“然后是最后一个奖项，令我惊讶的是，我的名字被宣布了。”可知，比赛结束了，在颁奖阶段，作者意外地获奖了。 2. 续写线索：不喜欢跑步——参加跑步比赛——完成比赛——获得奖牌 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①超过：pass ②保持前进：keep forward ③欢呼：cheer 情绪类 ①疲惫的：tired ②满意的：satisfied ③疑惑的：confused ④兴奋的：excited 【点睛】【高分句型1】While I was running, I saw many runners pass me on the way.(运用了while引导的时间状语从句)w（运用了） 【高分句型2】After the ceremony, I learned from my friend Jim that there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
