Ireland If you’re looking for the right mixture of history, culture and nature, you’ll find it in Ireland. You can enjoy surprising views here. If you’re in the mood for a boat trip, consider giving it a try in the evening in Cork—it’s truly magical. Italy Italy has so many fascinating cities and places to visit, but it would be impossible to see them all in one go. A road trip could work, and Rome is a great place to start. You’re steeped in history throughout the city with the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as the historic and architectural gems in the Vatican City. Throw a coin into the Trevi di Fontana before you leave the city, which means you’ll return here one day. Thailand Thailand has some of the best beaches in the world, even before Leonardo DiCaprio made Maya Bay, on Phi Phi Leh, lamous in The Beach. Admittedly, the film does a great job of describing this beautiful island, yet green waters and white sands are pretty standards in this country. United Arab Emirates If you’re one of those people who love all luxurious (奢侈的) things, then a trip to Dubai is for you. With year-long sun and grand hotels, this is the place for endless shopping, cocktail drinking by a plush pool and sunbathing on an artificial beach—the Palm Islands. Head to the Golden Souk for a spot of jewellery (珠宝) shopping. If you’re feeling hungry, you can eat at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. 1. What may one mean by throwing a coin into the Trevi di Fontana? A. Getting more coins. B. Expressing good will. C. Coming back some day. D. Wishing for good luck. 2 What is The Beach? A. A magazine. B. A website. C. A newspaper. D. A movie. 3. Which of the following has the highest building in the world? A. Ireland. B. United Arab Emirates. C. Thailand. D. Italy. B Arsh believes in the importance of making the world a more beautiful place. The talented boy not only paints but also sells his artwork and donates the money. It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family. Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise. His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far. Arsh’s artwork is often colorful and cheery, as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist. Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions (演绎) of flowers and animals. They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price. Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800. Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana’s belief that young people have the power to change their country. And the young artist has advice for other kids looking to make a difference. “Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.” 4. What made Arsh interested in painting? A. A birthday present from his parents. B. His parents’ deep love for painting. C. The encouragement of others around him. D. His fascination with the beauty of nature. 5. Why did Arsh decide to sell his artwork? A. To pay for his painting materials. B. To get more attention from others. C. To attract children’s interest in art. D. To help those people who are in need. 6. What can we learn about Arsh from the text? A. His fundraising plan is going well. B. He will turn his attention to his studies. C. All his paintings sell at high prices now. D. He is going to teach other children to paint for free. 7. What does Arsh want to say in the last paragraph? A. Every child has a unique talent. B. Everyone has the ability to help others. C. Talent plays an important role in learning art. D. Helping others is the responsibility of young artists. C Plastic is everywhere in our environment, especially in the ocean. Actually, a large amount of plastic waste is floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us. Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin. No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate: between 5.3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions. Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine (海洋的) animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are stuck by abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics. We are closely related to oceans so the consequences of throwing plastic away may return to affect us some day. “This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist, “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the necessary systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic. 8. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To prove plastic was difficult to invent. B. To tell us what marine animals like eating. C. To call on us to protect marine animals. D. To introduce the topic of the passage. 9. How is the second paragraph mainly developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing reasons. D. By making comparisons. 10. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. results B. functions C. causes D. aims 11. What does Ted Siegler want to tell us? A. Some people don’t know the solution of plastics waste. B. It’s time to take measures to deal with plastic waste. C. Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic. D. People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean. D Dragons, a famous imaginary creature born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there are significant differences in the different dragon elements in the west and east, particularly in China. Chinese dragons most look like snakes, and have four claws (爪) and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the contrast, Western dragons look like huge lizards (蜥蜴) with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown rough scales. In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high position. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered sacred creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as “descendants of the dragon”. In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil (魔鬼), with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger. Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but with their own unique personalities and motivations. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but changes into a misunderstood creature with love and kindness. This changes the idea of dragons as naturally evil, showing their both emotions and motivations. 12. What do western dragons and eastern dragons have in common? A They have rough skin. B. They have big claws and wings. C. They are in the shape of snakes. D. They are huge and powerful. 13. What do we know from paragraph 3? A. Dragons are believed to make trouble in western culture. B Dragons in China can protect people from danger. C. Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire. D. Western dragons are a symbol of authority. 14. What is new about dragons in today’s global culture? A. They are regarded as adventurous creatures. B. They are closely linked with evil or good. C. They have more various emotions and personalities. D. They represent human spirits facing challenges. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A The Origin of Dragons in Chinese History B. The Dragon Elements in World Culture C. The Magical Animals in Different Countries D. The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Reduce Gift Wrap Waste Wrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___16___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away. Reuse what you have. ____17____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse. Use different materials. ___18___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper.

Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with. Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” ___20___ A. Try zero waste. B. Shop with that in mind, too. C. You don’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present. D. In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials. E. When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling. F.

Ever since I joined the running team in freshman year, I had trained hard to improve my speed. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. There were many strong runners in my grade, and some of them had more experience and skills than me. One of them was Leo. He was my friend, but also my biggest competitor. He was confident that he would win the marathon too. The day of the race finally came. I was nervous but excited. I put on my running shoes and headed to the starting line. I saw my competitors, some of them looking confident, some of them looking worried. Leo was among them, smiling and waving at me. I tried to relax myself and pay attention to my own running. The coach gave us some last-minute advice and encouragement. He told us to do our best and not give up. The whistle blew and we were off. I rushed ahead, trying to get a good position. I felt the wind in my face. I heard the cheers of the crowd and the footsteps of the other runners. I kept running, pushing myself to do my best. After running for a while, I realized that I was in the lead. I couldn’t believe it. I had never been in this situation before. But then I also felt a sense of fear. What if I couldn’t keep it up? What if someone caught up with me? What if I fell? I tried to shake off (摆脱) these negative thoughts and pay attention to the finish line. But it was getting harder and harder. My legs were burning and my heart was pounding. 注意： 1 .续写词数应为150左右； 2 .请按如下格式作答。 I felt like giving up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But then the reason for running in the first place came to mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 渑池二高2023-2024学年下学期第三次月考试题 高一英语 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.本试卷由三个部分组成。其中，第二和第三部分的第一节为选择题，第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Here are top 4 destinations to start your new trip. Ireland If you’re looking for the right mixture of history, culture and nature, you’ll find it in Ireland. You can enjoy surprising views here. If you’re in the mood for a boat trip, consider giving it a try in the evening in Cork—it’s truly magical. Italy Italy has so many fascinating cities and places to visit, but it would be impossible to see them all in one go. A road trip could work, and Rome is a great place to start. You’re steeped in history throughout the city with the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as the historic and architectural gems in the Vatican City. Throw a coin into the Trevi di Fontana before you leave the city, which means you’ll return here one day.

Admittedly, the film does a great job of describing this beautiful island, yet green waters and white sands are pretty standards in this country. United Arab Emirates If you’re one of those people who love all luxurious (奢侈的) things, then a trip to Dubai is for you. With year-long sun and grand hotels, this is the place for endless shopping, cocktail drinking by a plush pool and sunbathing on an artificial beach—the Palm Islands.

The talented boy not only paints but also sells his artwork and donates the money. It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family. Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise. His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far. Arsh’s artwork is often colorful and cheery as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist. Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions (演绎) of flowers and animals. They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price. Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800. Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana’s belief that young people have the power to change their country. And the young artist has advice for other kids looking to make a difference. “Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.” 4. What made Arsh interested in painting? A.

Why did Arsh decide to sell his artwork? A. To pay for his painting materials. B. To get more attention from others. C. To attract children’s interest in art. D.

Everyone has the ability to help others. C. Talent plays an important role in learning art. D. Helping others is the responsibility of young artists. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Arsh喜欢画画，把自己的作品卖掉捐给慈善机构，并获得了英国慈善机构颁发的荣誉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. (这一切都始于他的父母在他8岁生日时给他买了一套绘画工具。一旦他有了自己的材料，他就开始花大量的空闲时间在画布上上色)”可知，父母送给Arsh的一个生日礼物使他对画画感兴趣。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. (不久之后，他的灵光一现：他将卖掉自己的艺术品，把钱捐给慈善机构)”可知，Arsh决定卖掉自己的画作是为了帮助有需要的人。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far. (他的第一个计划是为St. Jude儿童研究医院筹集1000美元，他通过在社交媒体和当地艺术展上出售自己的画作，在大约9个月的时间里完成了这个目标。从那以后，他扩大了自己的影响范围，帮助其他组织，包括儿童癌症非营利组Compass to Car和the Make-A-Wish 基金会。到目前为止，他已经为慈善机构筹集了超过16000美元)”可推知，Arsh的筹资计划进展顺利。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,’ he says, ‘and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.’ (‘帮助别人不一定是金钱或其他东西。它可以是你的时间，你的技能，你的才能，’他说，‘总的来说，只是善待别人，让他们的一天更美好。’)”可知，Arsh说帮助别人可以是任何东西，只是善待别人，就可以让他人的一天更美好。由此推知，他的意思是每个人都有帮助别人的能力。故选B。 C Plastic is everywhere in our environment, especially in the ocean. Actually, a large amount of plastic waste is floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如今塑料垃圾已经严重地污染了我们的环境，尤其是海洋环境，人类应该采取错误改变这一现状。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Plastic is everywhere in our environment, especially in the ocean. Actually, a large amount of plastic waste is floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.(塑料在我们的环境中无处不在，尤其是在海洋中。事实上，今天有大量的塑料垃圾漂浮在世界各地的海洋中，等待着被一些鱼或牡蛎吃掉，最终可能被我们中的一个人吃掉。)”可推知，第一段的主要作用是引出海洋塑料垃圾污染严重这一主题。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9. 2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6. 3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin.(因为塑料直到19世纪末才被发明出来，它的生产在1950年左右才真正开始，我们有大约92亿吨的东西要处理。其中，超过69亿吨变成了废物。在这些垃圾中，有令人惊讶的63亿吨没有进入回收箱。)”和“In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate: between 5. 3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.(2015年，工程学教授詹娜·詹贝克(Jenna Jambeck)的一个粗略估计引起了所有人的注意:每年有300万吨到1400万吨的塑料垃圾来自沿海地区。)”可推知，第二段主要是通过列数字的方式进行展开的。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics.(各种大小的海洋物种，从浮游动物到鲸鱼，现在都在吃微塑料。)”可知，我们与海洋密切相关，所以扔掉塑料的后果可能会在某一天回来影响我们。由此可推知，consequence意为“后果”，与results意思相同。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist, “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the necessary systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.(“这不是一个我们不知道解决办法的问题，”佛蒙特州资源经济学家泰德·西格勒(Ted Siegler)说，“我们知道如何捡垃圾。任何人都能做到。我们知道如何处理它。我们知道如何回收利用。”他说，这是一个建立必要系统的问题，最好是在海洋变成一团薄薄的塑料汤之前。)”可知，Ted Siegler想要告诉我们是时候采取措施处理塑料垃圾了。故选B。 D Dragons, a famous imaginary creature born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there are significant differences in the different dragon elements in the west and east, particularly in China. Chinese dragons most look like snakes, and have four claws (爪) and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the contrast, Western dragons look like huge lizards (蜥蜴) with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown rough scales. In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high position. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered sacred creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as “descendants of the dragon”. In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil (魔鬼), with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger. Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but with their own unique personalities and motivations. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but changes into a misunderstood creature with love and kindness. This changes the idea of dragons as naturally evil, showing their both emotions and motivations. 12. What do western dragons and eastern dragons have in common? A. They have rough skin. B. They have big claws and wings. C. They are in the shape of snakes. D. They are huge and powerful. 13. What do we know from paragraph 3? A. Dragons are believed to make trouble in western culture. B. Dragons in China can protect people from danger. C. Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire. D. Western dragons are a symbol of authority. 14. What is new about dragons in today’s global culture? A They are regarded as adventurous creatures. B. They are closely linked with evil or good. C. They have more various emotions and personalities. D. They represent human spirits facing challenges. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Origin of Dragons in Chinese History B. The Dragon Elements in World Culture C. The Magical Animals in Different Countries D. The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions 【答案】12 D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了龙在不同文化背景下所承载的寓意和形象差异，不仅介绍了龙在中西方文化中的传统形象和象征意义，还分析了随着全球文化的发展，龙的形象如何逐渐演变和丰富。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities.  (在这两种文化中，龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。)”可知，在东西方文化中，龙都是能够飞行的巨大生物，拥有强大的力量，通常与魔法能力联系在一起。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil, with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.(然而，在西方，龙象征着一种邪恶的生物，在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖。他们被认为是被魔鬼改造的，有能力喷火或吐毒。许多西方故事都讲述了龙被打败和杀死以保护人们免受危险)”可知，在西方文化中，龙象征着一种邪恶的生物，在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖，许多西方故事都讲述了龙被杀死以保护人类。由此推知，在西方文化中，龙被认为会引起混乱。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but with their own unique personalities and motivations.(今天，龙继续变化，在全球文化中找到新的意义。他们不再与恶或善有关，而是有自己独特的个性和动机。)”可知，在当今的全球文化中，龙有更多不同的情感和个性。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there are significant differences in the different dragon elements in the west and east, particularly in China.(在这两种文化中，龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。然而，由于其文化根源和形象的不同，中西方特别是中国的龙元素存在着显著差异。)”以及最后一段“Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture.  (今天，龙继续变化，在全球文化中找到新的意义。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了龙这一虚构生物在不同文化中的形象和象征意义，并强调了随着全球文化的融合与发展，龙的形象和认知也在不断变化和丰富。文章不仅对比了中西方文化中龙的形象和寓意，还提到了现代文化中龙形象的演变和多样化。由此可知，B项：The Dragon Elements in World Culture(世界文化中的龙元素。)是最好的标题。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Reduce Gift Wrap Waste Wrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___16___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away. Reuse what you have. ____17____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse. Use different materials. ___18___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory. ___19___ Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with. Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” ___20___ A. Try zero waste. B. Shop with that in mind, too. C. You don’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present. D. In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials. E. When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling. F. Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing. G. Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了几种减少包装纸浪费的方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文中的“Wrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ” 可知，包装纸的名字里可能有纸，但这并不意味着它可以回收利用，D选项“事实上，许多类型的包装纸由于其材料而不能被回收。”承接上文，讲了为什么有些包装纸不能回收利用，选项中的wrapping paper与上文中Wrapping paper一致，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据主题句“Reuse what you have.”（重复使用你用过的东西。）可知本段主要写重复使用你用过的包装纸， F选项“如果小心翼翼地打开包装纸而不撕裂，包装纸可以多次使用。”符合本段主题，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据主题句“Use different materials.” （使用不同的材料。）及下文“Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. ” （选择基本的棕色厚纸，可以用蝴蝶结、丝带、树叶、松果或记号笔组成。把报纸、旧海报和儿童学校的艺术作品重新用作包装纸。）可知，你不必用精美的纸来装饰礼物，C选项扣题，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本段“Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with.” （篮子、织物、礼盒或袋子、茶巾等来装和展示你的礼物。学习日本的包装艺术，用漂亮的绳结把色彩鲜艳、可重复使用的织物以吸引人的方式系牢。这样，你就不用浪费包装纸了。）可知，本段说的是用其他的东西代替包装纸来包装礼物，不要浪费。A选项“要零浪费”，符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, ‘It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind! ’”正如回收协会(一个代表英国大约90家废物管理公司和造纸商的贸易组织)的首席执行官西蒙·艾林解释的那样：“这是我们一整年都在进行的一项运动——你真的需要设计一种非纸质的包装纸吗?造纸时要牢记回收利用！”可推断，下文应该说你去买包装纸的时候也应该要可回收利用的，B选项“购物时也要考虑到这一点。”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 Louie, a pet parrot, saved a whole family.

Ever since I joined the running team in freshman year, I had trained hard to improve my speed. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. There were many strong runners in my grade, and some of them had more experience and skills than me. One of them was Leo. He was my friend, but also my biggest competitor. He was confident that he would win the marathon too. The day of the race finally came. I was nervous but excited. I put on my running shoes and headed to the starting line. I saw my competitors, some of them looking confident, some of them looking worried. Leo was among them, smiling and waving at me. I tried to relax myself and pay attention to my own running. The coach gave us some last-minute advice and encouragement. He told us to do our best and not give up. The whistle blew and we were off. I rushed ahead, trying to get a good position. I felt the wind in my face. I heard the cheers of the crowd and the footsteps of the other runners. I kept running, pushing myself to do my best. After running for a while, I realized that I was in the lead. I couldn’t believe it. I had never been in this situation before. But then I also felt a sense of fear. What if I couldn’t keep it up? What if someone caught up with me? What if I fell? I tried to shake off (摆脱) these negative thoughts and pay attention to the finish line. But it was getting harder and harder. My legs were burning and my heart was pounding. 注意： 1 .续写词数应为150左右； 2 .请按如下格式作答。 I felt like giving up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But then the reason for running in the first place came to mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I felt like giving up. With these negative thoughts almost overwhelming me, so worn-out was I that my legs got limp and my lung seemed to be about to explode. Naturally, my pace slowed down. With the sound of other competitors’ footsteps coming closer and closer to me, a sense of hopelessness and despair settled over me. “You’ll lose your lead in no time,” an inner voice reminded. I couldn’t help looking back, only to find that Leo was only a few steps away from me. But then the reason for running in the first place came to mind. With scenes of hard training emerging in my mind, I recalled my dream of winning the school marathon. Bearing the will to win in mind, I threw my head back and ran with my last bit of strength in the direction of the finish line. No sooner had I crossed the line than the crowd burst out thunderous cheers and applause. I was the first! My dream came true! I raised my arms in triumph, feeling an unprecedented sense of confidence. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了赢得学校马拉松比赛而进行的长期努力和准备，以及他在比赛当天的紧张、兴奋和面对领先位置时的内心斗争。 作者自从加入跑步队以来就刻苦训练，尽管面临来自同级其他强大选手的竞争，尤其是他的好友兼最大竞争对手Leo，但他依然坚持不懈。比赛当天，他感受到了紧张与兴奋，并在比赛中一度领先，但同时也担心自己的领先地位被他人超越。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我想放弃。”可知，第一段可描写作者的消极想法对自己身心的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“但后来我想到了跑步的初衷。”可知，第二段可描写作者想起了自己的梦想并且坚持到最后赢得胜利的过程。 2.续写线索：身心疲惫——感到绝望——想起梦想——继续前进——取得胜利——感想 3.词汇激活 行为类 压倒：overwhelm/prevail over 忍不住做某事：couldn’t help doing sth/couldn’t stop doing sth. 浮现：emerge/rise 实现：come true/be achieved 情绪类 消极的：negative/passive 绝望：despair/desperation 【点睛】[高分句型1] With these negative thoughts almost overwhelming me, so worn-out was I that my legs got limp and my lung seemed to be about to explode.（运用了with的复合结构，so…that…引导结果状语从句以及so worn-out置于句首引起的部分倒装） [高分句型2] I raised my arms in triumph, feeling an unprecedented sense of confidence.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
