A river hike is a combination of normal hiking and hiking along the course of rivers. It often involves walking in the water and on rocks, low-level rock climbing, crossing rivers, and swimming. River hikes are fun but require average to high fitness level, good balance and swimming skills, Climbing skills are not necessary.

Then we have 15 mins to put our swimming suits on and wear some sun creams before getting ready for the hiking!(09:30我们将在路上步行约30分钟到达起点。然后我们有15分钟的时间穿上泳衣，涂上防晒霜，然后准备远足！)”可知，九点半开始后走30分钟，即十点整到达起点，15分钟穿泳衣等活动，因此沿河徒步旅行大约10:15开始。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day 3 Sunday部分中“After yesterday’s exciting hike, today is mainly relaxing!(经过昨天令人兴奋的徒步旅行，今天主要是放松！)”结合文章主要介绍了一次大峡谷河远足的活动安排。可知，河边徒步是一次周末度假活动。故选A。 B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 24. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 25. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 26. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 27. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 C There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets. Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year. The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said. Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable. Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e tomatoes will not be sent long distances away. OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions. The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine. 28. What problem does OneThird aim to solve? A The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables. B. Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers. C. Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life. D. Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce. 29. What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner? A. The use of the device in another field. B. Observation of the food-supply chain. C. Consumer demands for fresher produce. D. Experts’advice on food waste reduction. 30. What can we learn about the manual quality inspections? A. They are time-consuming and costly. B. They are not performed at a regular time. C. The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D. The shipping time is not taken into consideration. 31. What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食品科技初创公司OneThird通过红外扫描仪准确预测新鲜水果和蔬菜的保质期。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.(现在，位于荷兰的食品科技初创公司OneThird正试图改变这一现状，他们发明了一种红外扫描仪，可以准确预测新鲜水果和蔬菜的保质期。这家初创公司之所以被命名为OneThird，是因为每年有三分之一的食物因变质而被浪费)”可知，OneThird旨在解决由于不确定食物的保质期而造成的食物浪费。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food.(这家初创公司的创始人受到一家英国公司的启发，该公司在医疗领域使用这种技术，并决定看看它是否适用于食品)”可知，设备在其他领域的使用激发了OneThird使用红外扫描仪的想法。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.(然后，食品被送到消费者手中，而不考虑运输时间或产品的可用性)”可知，人工质量检验中，运输时间没有考虑在内。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.(“全球食物浪费对环境有巨大影响;减少全球食物浪费可以减少全球温室气体排放，促进全球粮食安全，”缅因大学气候专家雅各布·史密斯说)”可知，雅各布对OneThird的努力持支持态度。故选A。 D When Mark Twain visited Florence (佛罗伦萨) in 1867, he dutifully visited the city’s museums, churches, and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno, he began to sense the Italians’ insistence that it was a river, not a stream. “They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river, do these dark and bloody Florentines,” he complained, “I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful, all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now, at all.” It’s normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock.” But Susan Goldstein, a professor at the University of Redlands says, “ Though the term has existed for many years, ‘Culture shock’ implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though many travelers will experience such challenges, a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.” It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg, written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences, that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad” — a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase, through rejecting the new environment, to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual, not universal. “People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time,” Goldstein says. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations and differences are just as important. As for Mark Twain, the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness.” With the right attitude — and the willingness to seek help if you need it — it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings, building new memories and toughness — with each new stamp in your passport. 32. How did Mark Twain feel about Italians’ insistence? A Annoyed. B. Calm. C. Uninterested. D. Curious. 33. What can be inferred about culture shock? A. It would lead to physical diseases. B. It was regarded as an avoidable thing. C. It was named for people’s adjustment. D. It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Suggestions about culture shock. B. A change in understanding culture shock. C. Stress of the importance of culture shock. D. A criticism of previous idea of culture shock. 35. Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To remember him. B. To inform and anticipate. C. To conclude and encourage. D. To make the ending humorous. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨“文化冲击”的概念、人们对异国他乡适应过程的理解，以及通过旅行获得成长和新的体验的可能性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river, do these dark and bloody Florentines,” he complained(“他们都说它是一条河，而且他们真的认为它是一条河，这些黑暗、血腥的佛罗伦萨人就是这样认为的，”他抱怨道)”可知，Mark Twain对意大利人的坚持是生气的，故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.(到20世纪70年代，许多研究人员接受了这样一种观点，即像身体疾病一样，文化冲击的发展经历了一系列非常一致和普遍的阶段。)”可知，到20世纪70年代，文化冲击得到了广泛的接受。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time(人们会有起起落落，但在大多数情况下，随着时间的推移，他们会变得越来越舒适和胜任)”和“And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations and differences are just as important.(虽然许多人将文化冲击的原因与东道国文化本身联系起来，但个人的内在期望和差异也同样重要。)”可知，第四段的主要内容是对文化冲击理解的改变。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He eventually finished out his European tour - and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness.” With the right attitude - and the willingness to seek help if you need it - it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings, building new memories-and toughness - with each new stamp in your passport.(他最终结束了他的欧洲之旅——在他最畅销的旅行回忆录The Innocents Abroad中，他有一句名言：旅行“对偏见和狭隘是致命的”。有了正确的态度——以及在需要时寻求帮助的意愿——你也很有可能在新的环境中适应和成长，在你护照上的每一个新印记上建立新的记忆和韧性。)”可知，最后一段提到Mark Twain的目的是为了总结全文，鼓励读者采取正确的态度。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳项。其中有两项为多余选项。 The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. ___36___ They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride. Understanding and managing social emotions can help develop teenagers’ identities.

In the process, they learn to understand, and appropriately respond to both their own emotions and those of others. ___37___ In academic settings, social emotional competencies like self-regulation, motivation, and social awareness directly impact a teenager’s ability to learn, participate, and engage in school activities. ___38___ Teenagers with strong social emotional skills are better equipped to handle stress, resist peer pressure, and avoid risky behaviors, reducing the likelihood of developing mental health issues. Learning social emotions involves a combination of personal experience, guidance, and formal education. ___39___ This environment influences teenagers’ earliest understanding of how to communicate and manage their emotions. They feel safe and supportive to express their emotions freely and learn to manage them without fear of judgment. Schools also play a significant role through social emotional learning programs that teach these skills in a structured environment.

Teenagers experience a wide range of emotions from social interactions, which significantly influences their self-understanding and social awareness.

They feel safe and supportive to express their emotions freely and learn to manage them without fear of judgment. Schools also play a significant role through social emotional learning programs that teach these skills in a structured environment. Community involvement, extracurricular activities, and peer (同伴) interactions offer additional opportunities for teenagers to practice and refine their social emotional skills.(这种环境影响了青少年对如何沟通和管理情绪的最早理解。他们感到安全和支持自由地表达自己的情绪，并学会管理他们，而不用担心被评判。学校也通过在结构化的环境中教授这些技能的社会情感学习项目发挥了重要作用。社区参与、课外活动和同伴互动为青少年练习和完善他们的社交情感技能提供了额外的机会)”可知，后文列举了学校、社区参与、课外活动和同伴互动对培养情感技能的作用，可知本句也是在说明会影响青少年情绪技能的环境。故F选项“家庭在培养和培养这些技能方面起着至关重要的作用”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据后文“It contributes to a teenager’s ability to manage their own emotions, understand others’ emotions, and face social complexities. This learning is a cornerstone for shaping their identity, influencing their interpersonal relationships, academic success, mental health, and future life outcomes.(它有助于青少年管理自己的情绪，理解他人的情绪，以及面对社会复杂性的能力。这种学习是塑造他们的身份、影响他们的人际关系、学业成功、心理健康和未来生活成果的基石)”可知，本段总结了情感技能的重要性，C选项中Social emotion learning对应后文It。故C选项“对青少年来说，社会情感学习是必不可少的”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “If after the first 50 pages of a book you don’t get engaged, you’re allowed to stop reading and try again later when you feel ready for it,” my father told me.

With 58. mixed 59. peaceful 60. is reflected 61. to 62. highlighting 63. it 64. which 65. steadily 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了中国传统文化中“和谐”这一核心价值理念的重要性及其在各个方面的体现。 【56题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：和谐实际上是一个完整的文化体系，它不仅包括价值观，而且包括一种具有自己世界观的哲学。value是可数名词，不止一种，因此空格处用复数，故填values。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意：以和谐为核心，中国传统的原则认为，宇宙中有一种内在的动力，可以把不平衡变成平衡。根据语境可知，句子表示“以和谐为核心，中国传统的原则认为，宇宙中有一种内在的动力，可以把不平衡变成平衡”，空格处意为“有”，用介词with，位于句首，首字母大写，故填With。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这一理念深深融入了中国社会的历史，倡导个体内部、人与人之间、人与自然之间的平衡与和平共处。句中谓语是advocates，空格处用非谓语动词，concept和mix之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填mixed。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这一理念深深融入了中国社会的历史，倡导个体内部、人与人之间、人与自然之间的平衡与和平共处。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词coexistence，peace的形容词是peaceful，意为“和平的”，故填peaceful。 【60题详解】 考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：它反映在中国人生活的各个方面，从强调家庭团结和社会纽带到传统艺术的实践和国家的治理。It和reflect之间是逻辑动宾关系，句子用被动语态，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语It是单数，因此空格处是is reflected。故填is reflected。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：它反映在中国人生活的各个方面，从强调家庭团结和社会纽带到传统艺术的实践和国家的治理。from...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它塑造了中国的国际关系理念，强调和谐共处、共享共赢。句中谓语是has shaped，空格处用非谓语动词，It和highlight之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填highlighting。 【63题详解】 考查代词。句意：在保护环境方面，它激励人们努力按照自然周期生活，尊重所有形式的生命。根据语境可知，句子表示“在保护环境方面，它激励人们努力按照自然周期生活，尊重所有形式的生命”，空格处是“它”，用it，故填it。 【64题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：此外，和谐的概念使中国能够在历史的挑战中保持社会稳定和文化的一致性，为解决冲突和促进社区意识和归属感提供了一个模式。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词the concept of harmony是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：随着世界越来越紧密地联系在一起，中国文化和谐的原则为创造一个更加平衡和可持续的全球社会提供了宝贵的见解。空格处用副词steadily修饰动词becomes，steadily意为“固定地，牢固地”，故填steadily。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，担任校学生会主席。端午节将至，你校将开展包粽子活动。请你给外教Mr. Smith写封邮件，邀请他参加。 内容包括：1. 活动的时间和地点；2. 活动安排及意义。 注意：1. 写作词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3. 开头结尾已给出，不计入字数； 4. 参考词汇 patriot 爱国者、ingredient （烹饪）材料 Dear Mr. Smith, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语考试 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项, 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后, 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】 What is the man going to do at the weekend?

B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 24. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 25. What caused the author to learn Chinese?

What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 27. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. C There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets. Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year. The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said. Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable. Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e tomatoes will not be sent long distances away. OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions. The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine. 28. What problem does OneThird aim to solve? A. The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables. B. Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers. C. Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life. D. Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce. 29. What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner? A. The use of the device in another field. B. Observation of the food-supply chain. C. Consumer demands for fresher produce. D. Experts’advice on food waste reduction. 30. What can we learn about the manual quality inspections? A. They are time-consuming and costly. B. They are not performed at a regular time. C. The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D. The shipping time is not taken into consideration. 31. What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive. D When Mark Twain visited Florence (佛罗伦萨) in 1867, he dutifully visited the city’s museums, churches, and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno, he began to sense the Italians’ insistence that it was a river, not a stream. “They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river, do these dark and bloody Florentines,” he complained, “I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful, all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now, at all.” It’s normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock.” But Susan Goldstein, a professor at the University of Redlands says, “ Though the term has existed for many years, ‘Culture shock’ implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though many travelers will experience such challenges, a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.” It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences, that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad” — a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase, through rejecting the new environment, to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research however, suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual, not universal. “People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time,” Goldstein says. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations and differences are just as important. As for Mark Twain, the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow-mindedness.” With the right attitude — and the willingness to seek help if you need it — it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings, building new memories and toughness — with each new stamp in your passport. 32. How did Mark Twain feel about Italians’ insistence? A. Annoyed. B. Calm. C. Uninterested. D. Curious. 33. What can be inferred about culture shock? A. It would lead to physical diseases. B. It was regarded as an avoidable thing. C. It was named for people’s adjustment. D. It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Suggestions about culture shock. B. A change in understanding culture shock. C. Stress of the importance of culture shock. D. A criticism of previous idea of culture shock. 35. Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To remember him. B. To inform and anticipate. C. To conclude and encourage. D. To make the ending humorous. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳项。其中有两项为多余选项。 The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. ___36___ They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
