Besides reading news, watching films and TV series may help you better understand them. Here are the three choices for you. Contagion A deadly virus spreads rapidly and kills people within days of showing symptoms. As the fast-moving pandemic grows, the worldwide medical community works to find a cure. US political website The Hill says, “It makes it clear that a virus tries to seek out new hosts (宿主) because its carriers die — as it must to survive, and it must always stay one jump ahead of death.” Interested? Click http://www.360kan.com. Flu With a severe outbreak of the epidemic a South Korean city, the government orders a complete shutdown to separate the community. Doctor Kim and a rescue worker Kang want to save the infected, including Kim’s daughter. They enter the closed city and successfully develop a vaccine (疫苗). “It conveys to its audience the importance of treating people with dignity and courage,” movie critic Kerry wrote in her essay. Visit https://movie.douban.com and learn more about it. The Hot Zone Since the Ebola virus first broke out in the 1970s in Africa, it has become famous worldwide and one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Based on the virus, a drama called The Hot Zone was created. It is set in Washington, DC, in 1989, when the virus appears in an animal research lab. A US Army scientist, Nancy Jaax, risks her life to prevent a serious outbreak. “The Hot Zone shows what it takes to defeat an outbreak,” noted Variety. Click https://www.meijui.com and see what Nancy Jaax will do. 21. Why does a virus in Contagion seek out new hosts? A. For spreading. B. For survival. C. For entertainment. D. For preference. 22. Why does the government of a South Korean city order a shutdown? A. To rescue Kim’s daughter. B. To make a research into the virus. C. To test the effectiveness of the vaccine. D To keep the city from the outside world. 23 The passage is probably taken from . A. a website B. a tour guide C. a fiction book D. an advertisement B Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 24. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 25. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 26. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 27. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future C WRINKLES are big business. Around the world, people are living longer and populations are ageing. Most people can expect to make it to their 60s at least. As the number of older people increases, so does the desire to cover up one of ageing’s most obvious signs. Recent market research found that consumers in the US spent ＄9. 1 billion on anti-wrinkle creams and moisturisers in 2021 and will be spending nearly ＄13 billion in 2027. That expenditure is essentially a vanity project driven by a desire or pressure to look younger. There is no shortage of options, often at very high prices. However, there is a growing case for that bill to be picked up by healthcare providers and private insurers. Wrinkles are much more than a cosmetic(美容的) problem. There is growing evidence that they aren’t just a rough indicator of our biological age, but are also a key driver of ageing. Wrinkled skin seems to release harmful substances that speed up ageing in our brains and bodies. That makes sense when you consider that skin is on the frontline. Because it is exposed to sunlight, pollutants and other insults, it ages faster than the rest of our bodies, and then seems to drag the rest of our bodies with it. Ageing is also a leading cause of illness and, ultimately, death. By the time we are in our 60s, most of us have at least one age-related disease, and they accumulate greatly from then on at huge cost to the health services. Those costs are only going to rise as the population gets older. The goal of the recent anti-ageing research is to extend health span-in other words, to delay the development of age-related diseases. It looks as though dealing with the causes of wrinkling offers a fairly simple way of achieving this, thereby saving taxpayers billions. And if we all end up looking younger as a result, then that is something worth celebrating. 28. What does the underlined word “that expenditure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. The beauty cost. B. The ageing sign. C. The market research. D. The health concern. 29. Why are wrinkles not merely a cosmetic problem? A. Because they make people look older. B. Because they help figure out all health problems. C. Because they bring people psychological discomfort. D. Because they somewhat worsen one’s physical condition. 30. What’s the purpose of the recent anti-ageing research? A. To save taxpayers money. B. To identify the cause of wrinkling. C. To screen age-related diseases early. D. To slow down the progression of age-related diseases. 31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmetic products—Not just for the rich. B. Wrinkles—First sign of ageing. C. Cosmetic products—Price-rocketing business. D. Wrinkles—Not just skin deep. D Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.” Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction. Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support,” she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.” 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The research method. B. The supporting evidence. C. The analysis of the research data. D. The application of the research findings. 33. How does Collins explain the findings in paragraph 3? A. By illustrating concepts. B. By presenting questions. C. By using an expert’s word. D. By referring to another study. 34. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph? A. Live a more active life. B. Expand the inner circle. C. Gain as much support as possible. D. Connect with all kinds of people. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Humans, social creatures at heart B. Finding support benefits your well-being C. The more you interact, the better you will be D. Talking to strangers might make you happier 第二节(共5个小题;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。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____36____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures. Know your angles. Knowing your angles is the first step to taking a great picture. Maybe you like one side of your face better than the other.

Doing so will have you feeling confident and looking your best in your next shot. Make sure the light is behind the camera. Great lighting makes a great photo.

A good DSLR can cost anywhere from $400 on up. ____40____ With these photo tips in mind, next time you snap a photo, you’ll look at it with a smile. A. You can never take too many photos, right? B. Whatever the case is, you have to take the time to study your face. C. You’ll also show more of your eyelashes and brows from this angle. D. And if you’re indoors, make sure windows and lighting fixtures are behind the camera. E. Most of the photos you see from celebrities and online influencers come from a DSLR. F.

A black-and-white cat met me at the door and he attempted to slip out. Marge quickly scooped him up (一把抱起). “Meow! Meow! Meow!” the cat’s cry filled the air. “This is Mr. Naughty. I’m watching him for Susan, the new lady at church.” Marge then put him on the floor and gave him a pat. He curled himself into a furry little ball. We spent the afternoon Sorting items for donation. When we finished, a towering pile of boxes lined the hallway. Mr. Naughty strolled (溜达) over. I lifted the fluffy sweetheart. His fur glistened under the sunlight and his green eyes sparkled with curiosity. He rubbed his face against my cheek. “When’s Susan picking him up?” “This afternoon, as soon as her plane arrives. I’ll be glad when he’s back home, he is safe and sound with his mama.” Marge said. I laughed and set Susan’s pet on the hardwood floor. “Stop worrying. What could happen? Come on, I’ll help load these boxes in your car before I go.” We lifted three boxes each. Piled up past eye level, they swayed (摇摆) in our shaking arms as we attempted to squeeze through the front door. Suddenly, I felt something furry brush my ankle and saw him slide past with elegance. I watched in horror as he paced down the front stairs. “No!” a scream burst from Marge’s lips as the cat leaped towards the fence and entered the bushes (灌木丛). “He’s not allowed outside! He’ll run away!” Marge cried. She dropped the boxes. “What will Susan do when she learns I lost her baby?” “Calm down. I’ll get him.” I dumped my boxes and hurried down the steps to the far side of the fence. But he was nowhere in sight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly a faint sound reached our ears from the water pipe on the house wall. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 诸暨中学暨阳分校2023-2024学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语 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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation probably take place?

C 【解析】 【原文】W: We’re developing a new technology that can detect forest fires as soon as they start. M: That sounds amazing.

M: So how will your new detection system work? W: We’re going to use a new range of satellites which have heat cameras. M: Don’t other satellites have those? W: Yes, but none is so advanced. They can detect a fire the size of a football field. The new system can sense a fire the size of a car. M: And will that be enough of a difference to stop the fire from spreading? W: We believe so. Hopefully it will give firefighters enough time to stop it before it gets too big. If they get the plane up in time, they will put out the fire quickly. M: If it works, I really hope you get recognition for it. W: I just want to try and stop trees from burning and more importantly, protect the poor animals that live in them. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What is the speaker doing? A.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Today, let’s begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future. I’d like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First, remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing. So don’t try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are good at making use of color, mapping web and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out.

Besides reading news, watching films and TV series may help you better understand them. Here are the three choices for you. Contagion A deadly virus spreads rapidly and kills people within days of showing symptoms. As the fast-moving pandemic grows, the worldwide medical community works to find a cure. US political website The Hill says, “It makes it clear that a virus tries to seek out new hosts (宿主) because its carriers die — as it must to survive, and it must always stay one jump ahead of death.” Interested? Click http://www.360kan.com. Flu With a severe outbreak of the epidemic a South Korean city, the government orders a complete shutdown to separate the community. Doctor Kim and a rescue worker Kang want to save the infected, including Kim’s daughter. They enter the closed city and successfully develop a vaccine (疫苗). “It conveys to its audience the importance of treating people with dignity and courage,” movie critic Kerry wrote in her essay. Visit https://movie.douban.com and learn more about it. The Hot Zone Since the Ebola virus first broke out in the 1970s in Africa, it has become famous worldwide and one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Based on the virus, a drama called The Hot Zone was created. It is set in Washington, DC, in 1989, when the virus appears in an animal research lab. A US Army scientist, Nancy Jaax, risks her life to prevent a serious outbreak. “The Hot Zone shows what it takes to defeat an outbreak,” noted Variety. Click https://www.meijui.com and see what Nancy Jaax will do. 21. Why does a virus in Contagion seek out new hosts? A. For spreading. B. For survival. C. For entertainment. D. For preference. 22. Why does the government of a South Korean city order a shutdown? A. To rescue Kim’s daughter. B. To make a research into the virus. C. To test the effectiveness of the vaccine. D. To keep the city from the outside world. 23. The passage is probably taken from . A. a website B. a tour guide C. a fiction book D. an advertisement 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三部可以帮助我们更好地了解病毒的影视作品。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Contagion中“It makes it clear that a virus tries to seek out new hosts (宿主) because its carriers die — as it must to survive, and it must always stay one jump ahead of death. (这清楚地表明，一种病毒因为它的携带者死亡而试图寻找新的宿主——因为它必须生存下去，它必须总是比死亡早一步)”可知，在《传染病》中，病毒寻找新的宿主是为了生存。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Flu中“With a severe outbreak of the epidemic a South Korean city, the government orders a complete shutdown to separate the community. (随着韩国一个城市爆发严重疫情，政府下令完全封闭，以隔离社区)”可知，政府下令封闭是为了让该社区与外部世界隔离开。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了三部可以帮助我们更好地了解病毒的影视作品，再结合每个影视作品介绍的最后有网址供读者点击去观看可推知，文章应该是出自网站。故选A项。 B Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 24. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 25. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 26. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 27. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.(直到2035年左右，教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。)”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.(学校已经被不受年龄限制的“学习中心”所取代。)”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Being Human and the History of Humanity(做人和人类历史)”可知，做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，划线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.(在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点，我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education(教育远景)”。故选B。 C WRINKLES are big business. Around the world, people are living longer and populations are ageing. Most people can expect to make it to their 60s at least. As the number of older people increases, so does the desire to cover up one of ageing’s most obvious signs. Recent market research found that consumers in the US spent ＄9. 1 billion on anti-wrinkle creams and moisturisers in 2021 and will be spending nearly ＄13 billion in 2027. That expenditure is essentially a vanity project driven by a desire or pressure to look younger. There is no shortage of options, often at very high prices. However, there is a growing case for that bill to be picked up by healthcare providers and private insurers. Wrinkles are much more than a cosmetic(美容的) problem. There is growing evidence that they aren’t just a rough indicator of our biological age, but are also a key driver of ageing. Wrinkled skin seems to release harmful substances that speed up ageing in our brains and bodies. That makes sense when you consider that skin is on the frontline. Because it is exposed to sunlight, pollutants and other insults, it ages faster than the rest of our bodies, and then seems to drag the rest of our bodies with it. Ageing is also a leading cause of illness and, ultimately, death. By the time we are in our 60s, most of us have at least one age-related disease, and they accumulate greatly from then on at huge cost to the health services. Those costs are only going to rise as the population gets older. The goal of the recent anti-ageing research is to extend health span-in other words, to delay the development of age-related diseases. It looks as though dealing with the causes of wrinkling offers a fairly simple way of achieving this, thereby saving taxpayers billions. And if we all end up looking younger as a result, then that is something worth celebrating. 28. What does the underlined word “that expenditure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. The beauty cost. B. The ageing sign. C. The market research. D. The health concern. 29. Why are wrinkles not merely a cosmetic problem? A. Because they make people look older. B. Because they help figure out all health problems. C. Because they bring people psychological discomfort. D. Because they somewhat worsen one’s physical condition. 30. What’s the purpose of the recent anti-ageing research? A. To save taxpayers money. B. To identify the cause of wrinkling. C. To screen age-related diseases early. D. To slow down the progression of age-related diseases. 31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmetic products—Not just for the rich. B. Wrinkles—First sign of ageing. C. Cosmetic products—Price-rocketing business. D. Wrinkles—Not just skin deep. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述随着老龄化问题的出现，越来越多的人花更多的钱使用化妆品来保持年轻，但是研究表明有皱纹不仅仅是皮肤深的问题，它还体现出身体机能也在衰老。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“As the number of older people increases, so does the desire to cover up one of ageing’s most obvious signs. Recent market research found that consumers in the US spent ＄9. 1 billion on anti-wrinkle creams and moisturisers in 2021 and will be spending nearly ＄13 billion in 2027. (随着老年人数量的增加，掩盖衰老最明显迹象之一的愿望也在增加。最近的市场调查发现，2021年，美国消费者花费了91亿美元用于防皱霜和保湿霜，2027年将花费近130亿美元。)”和第二段“That expenditure is essentially a vanity project driven by a desire or pressure to look younger. (这种支出本质上是一种虚荣的项目，是由看起来更年轻的欲望或压力驱动的。)”可知，这项支出指的是第一段提到的人们为了掩盖衰老而在防皱霜和保湿霜上面的花销。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wrinkles are much more than a cosmetic(美容的) problem. There is growing evidence that they aren’t just a rough indicator of our biological age, but are also a key driver of ageing. (皱纹不仅仅是美容问题。越来越多的证据表明，它们不仅是我们生物年龄的粗略指标，也是衰老的关键驱动因素。)”可知，皱纹不仅仅是美容问题，它还提示人们的生物年龄在增长，身体机能也在衰老。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解断题。根据最后一段“The goal of the recent anti-ageing research is to extend health span-in other words, to delay the development of age-related diseases. (最近抗衰老研究的目标是延长健康寿命，换句话说，延缓与年龄相关的疾病的发展。)”可知，最近抗衰老研究的目标是延缓与年龄相关的疾病的发展。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As the number of older people increases, so does the desire to cover up one of ageing’s most obvious signs. Recent market research found that consumers in the US spent ＄9. 1 billion on anti-wrinkle creams and moisturisers in 2021 and will be spending nearly ＄13 billion in 2027.

There is growing evidence that they aren’t just a rough indicator of our biological age, but are also a key driver of ageing. (皱纹不仅仅是美容问题。越来越多的证据表明，它们不仅是我们生物年龄的粗略指标，也是衰老的关键驱动因素。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述皱纹不仅仅是皮肤深的问题，它还体现出身体机能也在衰老。故选D。 D Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.” Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction. Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support,” she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.” 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The research method. B. The supporting evidence. C. The analysis of the research data. D. The application of the research findings. 33. How does Collins explain the findings in paragraph 3? A. By illustrating concepts. B. By presenting questions. C. By using an expert’s word. D. By referring to another study. 34. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph? A. Live a more active life. B. Expand the inner circle. C Gain as much support as possible. D. Connect with all kinds of people. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Humans, social creatures at heart B. Finding support benefits your well-being C. The more you interact, the better you will be D. Talking to strangers might make you happier 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍你和不同的陌生人群交流，就会有幸福感。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction. (研究人员利用劳工统计局和世界卫生组织等来源的公共数据，分析了分享过日常习惯、日程安排和互动的人的数据集和调查结果。他们注意到关系多样性和总体满意度之间的明显关系。)”可知，这一段主要讲述对研究数据进行分析的研究方法。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are.

Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. (这项研究的合著者、哈佛商学院博士生汉恩·柯林斯（Hanne Collins）表示，关系多样性由两个要素组成：丰富性和均匀性。财富衡量的是关系类别，或者你一天中与多少类型的人互动。那可能是你的浪漫伴侣、家人、邻居或陌生人。柯林斯说：“他们在一天中交谈的关系类别越多，甚至他们在这些类别中的对话越多，他们就越快乐。我们在许多国家的一个大样本中发现了这一点。”均匀性与这些不同关系类别之间的对话分布有关。有些人可能会发现自己在工作中与同事的互动比与家人的互动更多。柯林斯解释道：“如果你和同事聊了几次，和朋友聊了几句，和一个浪漫的伴侣聊了几段，或者和陌生人聊了几回，那么这类人的情况会更好。”)”可知，柯林斯主要通过丰富性和均匀性这两个概念来解释他的发现。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being. (本质上，这个想法是，你的社交组合越多样化，你就越快乐，你的幸福感就越高。)”可知，柯林斯建议人们尽可能多的和不同的人进行社交。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. “（下次你考虑在杂货店排队或在洗衣店等待时与陌生人交谈时，请记住这可能对你的健康有益。）根据第一段“A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.” (一组研究人员最近的一项研究发现，幸福与研究人员创造的“关系多样性”这一术语之间存在联系。)”和最后一段“Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being. (本质上，这个想法是，你的社交组合越多样化，你就越快乐，你的幸福感就越高。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述一个人的幸福感和社交多样化有联系，和不同的陌生人群交流，就会有幸福感。故选D。 第二节(共5个小题;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。 Very often, we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. ____36____We’ve gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.

A black-and-white cat met me at the door and he attempted to slip out. Marge quickly scooped him up (一把抱起). “Meow! Meow! Meow!” the cat’s cry filled the air. “This is Mr. Naughty. I’m watching him for Susan, the new lady at church.” Marge then put him on the floor and gave him a pat. He curled himself into a furry little ball. We spent the afternoon Sorting items for donation. When we finished, a towering pile of boxes lined the hallway. Mr. Naughty strolled (溜达) over. I lifted the fluffy sweetheart. His fur glistened under the sunlight and his green eyes sparkled with curiosity. He rubbed his face against my cheek. “When’s Susan picking him up?” “This afternoon, as soon as her plane arrives. I’ll be glad when he’s back home, he is safe and sound with his mama.” Marge said. I laughed and set Susan’s pet on the hardwood floor. “Stop worrying. What could happen? Come on, I’ll help load these boxes in your car before I go.” We lifted three boxes each. Piled up past eye level, they swayed (摇摆) in our shaking arms as we attempted to squeeze through the front door. Suddenly, I felt something furry brush my ankle and saw him slide past with elegance. I watched in horror as he paced down the front stairs. “No!” a scream burst from Marge’s lips as the cat leaped towards the fence and entered the bushes (灌木丛). “He’s not allowed outside! He’ll run away!” Marge cried. She dropped the boxes. “What will Susan do when she learns I lost her baby?” “Calm down. I’ll get him.” I dumped my boxes and hurried down the steps to the far side of the fence. But he was nowhere in sight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly a faint sound reached our ears from the water pipe on the house wall. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But he was nowhere in sight. Marge hurried to the bushes, calling out the cat’s name and meanwhile, I walked around the yard and checked the other possible hiding spots, like under the porch and behind the shed, but he was nowhere to be found. As time ticked by, there was still no sign of Mr. Naughty. Our worry and anxiety started to escalate, and we decided to expand the search range to the nearby surroundings, but still no luck. Finally, we dragged our tired bodies back to the yard with heavy hearts. Suddenly a faint sound reached our ears from the water pipe on the house wall. It must be Mr. Naughty! Marge and I exchanged glances and immediately rushed towards the sound. We bent down and found Mr. Naughty hiding in the water pipe, his glass bead-like eyes shining in the darkness of the pipe. After failing to grasp him or call him to come out, Marge had a sudden inspiration of using his favorite toy to lure him out. It took some time, but eventually, Mr. Naughty came out of the pipe. We were all relieved and happy to see that he was safe and unharmed. Marge and I never told Susan about Mr. Naughty’s great escape. And, as far as we know, neither did Mr. Naughty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去帮朋友大扫除，结果朋友家的猫跑了出去，她们去外面尽力寻找猫，没有找到。结果回来后在院子里发现了猫，朋友用玩具把猫引诱出来，看到猫安然无恙，他们都松了一口气，很高兴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但他却不见踪影”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友找猫的经过以及没有找到猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，一个微弱的声音从房子墙上的水管里传到我们的耳朵里”可知，第二段可描写找到了猫并把猫引诱出来的经过。 2.续写线索：找猫——担心焦虑——没找到——发现猫——引诱猫——猫出来——松了一口气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①时间流逝：tick by/pass by ②急忙：hurry/rush ③发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①疲惫的：tired /exhausted ②高兴的：happy /delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] As time ticked by, there was still no sign of Mr. Naughty.
