It was declared this year’s overall winner. The image captures (拍摄) both the beauty of the impressive snake and its fear of human threats like fires. The ecologist says, “During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used some skills to capture the environment.” The Rhino’s Annual Haircut Photographed by ecologist Molly Penny. The demand for rhino horn s (犀牛角) has reduced the population of rhinos to just 30, 000 globally. To try to save the endangered species, ecologists in South Africa have decided to saw off a part of the animals’ horns, which grow every year. It was captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England. Cruel as it seems, it reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered. For the Love of Flamingos Photographed by Peter Hudson. It captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos (火烈鸟) in Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other. The ecologist says, “Flamingos are all legs and necks but meanwhile beautiful and fascinating and I admit I have a deep passion for them, so I was thrilled when I watched this group in the shape of a heart.” Flames in Flumes Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee. It captures a water redstart (红尾鸟) waiting to catch an insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission (提交). The photographer wanted to show the struggle the river birds are likely to face from the slowdown in water flow due to planned dams in rivers across India. 21. How is Red Night different from the others? A. It was taken by a biologist. B. It is a black-and-white photo. C. It shows wild animals’ suffering. D. It was photographed after a fire. 22. What can be seen in The Rhino’s Annual Haircut? A. The tips of saving an endangered rhino. B. The cruelty of killing an endangered rhino. C. The method of helping a rhino’s horn grow. D. The scene of cutting a part of a rhino’s horn. 23. Which photo was taken by a student? A. Red Night. B. The Rhino’s Annual Haircut. C. For the Love of Flamingos. D. Flames in Flumes. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国生态协会摄影比赛的获奖作品。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Red Night部分“The ecologist says, “During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used some skills to capture the environment.” (这位生态学家说：“在我访问马达加斯加期间，我很高兴地发现了这条蛇并给它拍照。为了提供一个戏剧性的场景来反映这些蛇所遭受的痛苦，我使用了一些技巧来捕捉环境。”)” 可知，这张照片展示了野生动物所遭受的苦难。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章The Rhino’s Annual Haircut部分“To try to save the endangered species, ecologists in South Africa have decided to saw off a part of the animals’ horns, which grow every year. It was captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England. Cruel as it seems, it reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered. (为了拯救这种濒临灭绝的物种，南非的生态学家决定锯掉犀牛角的一部分，犀牛角每年都会长出来。这张美丽的黑白照片是由西英格兰大学的Molly Penny拍摄的。虽然看起来很残忍，但它降低了动物被残忍杀害的风险)”因此，这张照片展示的是切割犀牛角的一部分的场景。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Flames in Flumes部分“Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee. It captures a water redstart (红尾鸟) waiting to catch an insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission (提交). (由Nilanjan Chatterjee拍摄。它捕捉到一只红尾鸟在一个小瀑布附近等待捕捉昆虫。这是学生提交的最佳作品)”可知，这张照片是由学生提交的。故选D。 B “From delighting in the creativity of others seeing something from a different viewpoint, sharing that experience or building connections, I know I always leave our galleries feeling energized, inspired and uplifted,” says Karin Hindsbo, the director of Tate Modern — and she’s certainly not alone. According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure centre in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical — which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care. Nottingham-based art psychotherapist Sofie Dobbelaere agrees that going to a gallery to view art can be a powerful healing (治愈) experience. “When we look at art, we connect with our humanity, and therefore are pulled into dialogue with something outside of ourselves,” she says. “This can help us feel connected and like we are part of something important.” We live in a fast-paced culture, often consuming great works of art as quickly as we do content on our phones. But the act of engaging with art often disobey our own deadlines and boundaries of time, inviting us to look a little longer. Next time you go to a gallery, try practicing “slow looking”, spending several minutes or even hours thinking over just one piece. Galleries are full of amazing works, but observing just one on a deeper level can be incredibly meaningful. According to a recent study, although 95% of UK adults agree that visiting museums and galleries is beneficial, 40% of us visit them less than once a year — which is especially regretful as so many of these incredible spaces and artworks, including the main collections in the Tate galleries, are completely free to view and open to all. “These gloomy (阴沉的) winter months are the perfect time to get lost in our free displays, especially if you’ve never visited before,” says Hindsbo. 24. Why is visiting a gallery an act of self-care? A. It relaxes the brain. B. It offers company. C. It pleases the visitor. D. It makes visitors wiser. 25. How should you act when visiting a gallery? A. Be polite. B. Take your time. C. Leave before the deadline. D. Stay longer than permitted. 26. What does the author find regretful? A. Some collections are not open regularly. B. Many seldom visit museums and galleries. C. Less than half never visit museums and galleries. D. Most think visiting museums and galleries is beneficial. 27. What may be the best title of the text? A. Free tour — visiting museums and galleries B. Culture cure — a cure few have experienced C. Why culture helps improve health condition D. How art can be a powerful healing experience 【答案】24 C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了参观艺术画廊对心灵健康的积极影响，鼓励更多的人去免费美术馆参观。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure centre in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical——which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care.(根据最近的一项研究，观看艺术可以激活大脑中的快乐中枢，释放多巴胺，这是一种让人感觉良好的化学物质，这就是为什么参观画廊是一种有价值的自我关照行为。)”可知，参观画廊是一种自我关照行为是因为它使来访者感到愉快。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“We live in a fast-paced culture, often consuming great works of art as quickly as we do content on our phones. But the act of engaging with art often disobey our own deadlines and boundaries of time, inviting us to look a little longer. Next time you go to a gallery, try practicing “slow looking”, spending several minutes or even hours thinking over just one piece. Galleries are full of amazing works, but observing just one on a deeper level can be incredibly meaningful.(我们生活在一个快节奏的文化中，经常像在手机上制作内容一样快速地消费伟大的艺术品。但从事艺术的行为往往违背了我们自己的最后期限和时间界限，让我们看得更长一点。下次你去画廊的时候，试着练习“慢看”，花几分钟甚至几个小时来思考一件作品。画廊里充满了令人惊叹的作品，但在更深层次上观察一件作品可能会非常有意义。) ”可知，作者建议来访者参观画廊时应该慢慢欣赏和体会艺术作品。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“According to a recent study, although 95% of UK adults agree that visiting museums and galleries is beneficial, 40% of us visit them less than once a year—which is especially regretful.(根据最近的一项研究，尽管95%的英国成年人认为参观博物馆和画廊是有益的，但我们中有40%的人每年参观的次数少于一次——这尤其令人遗憾。)”可知，作者觉得遗憾的是许多人很少参观博物馆和画廊。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段的““From delighting in the creativity of others, seeing something from a different viewpoint, sharing that experience or building connections, I know I always leave our galleries feeling energized, inspired and uplifted,” says Karin Hindsbo, the director of Tate Modern——and she’s certainly not alone. According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure centre in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical——which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care.(泰特现代美术馆馆长卡琳·辛德斯博说：“从欣赏他人的创造力、从不同的角度看待事物、分享经验或建立联系中，我知道我离开画廊时总是感到精力充沛、受到启发和振奋。”根据最近的一项研究，观看艺术可以激活大脑中的快乐中枢，释放多巴胺，这是一种让人感觉良好的化学物质，这就是为什么参观画廊是一种有价值的自我关照行为。)”和第二段的“Nottingham-based art psychotherapist Sofie Dobbelaere agrees that going to a gallery to view art can be a powerful healing experience. “When we look at art, we connect with our humanity, and therefore are pulled into dialogue with something outside of ourselves,” she says. “This can help us feel connected and like we are part of something important.”(诺丁汉的艺术心理治疗师苏菲·多贝莱尔也认为，去画廊看艺术是一种强大的治疗体验。她说：“当我们欣赏艺术时，我们与我们的人性联系在一起，因此被拉入与我们自身之外的事物的对话中。”“这可以帮助我们感受到联系，就像我们是重要事物的一部分。”)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了参观艺术画廊对心灵健康的积极影响，观看艺术作品能激发脑部愉悦中心，释放多巴胺，带来愉悦感，让人拥有归属感，因此D项(艺术如何能成为一种强大的治愈体验)适合作为标题。故选D。 C Passive learning and active learning are two totally different patterns of learning in the world of teaching. Traditionally, learning has been mostly passive in nature. However, in the last 2-3 decades, there has been a push to encourage active learning in the classroom. Passive learning refers to learning in which the student does little to acquire knowledge. The most common form of passive learning is direct instruction. In passive learning, the student is viewed as an empty container of knowledge that the teacher must fill with his or her knowledge. Freire called this pattern of learning banking education as the student serves as an account in which the teacher or banker places knowledge or money. There’s a heavy stress on memorizing information or knowledge. The student should take notes and be ready to repeat what the teacher has said. The teacher is the wise man on the stage. Passive learning always sounds bad but sometimes it can be beneficial. When people have no former knowledge of a subject, passive learning can provide a foundation for future active learning activities. Active learning is learning in which the student is actively involved in the learning process. Common examples of this learning pattern include any form of discussion in the classroom. Active learning encourages students to use their current knowledge to build new understanding. There’s a reduction of lecturing in an active learning classroom. Rather, students interact with each other and the teacher to develop their understanding of the content. Active learning also faces some challenges. One is that active learning is time-consuming. Developing activities and leading discussions can force the class to move slower. If the course covers a large amount of content, this can be challenging for teachers. In conclusion, there’s room in the world of education for both passive and active learning. But too much reliance on either one will probably be a disadvantage for students. 28. What’s the disadvantage of banking education? A. Failing to make classes move quickly. B. Weakening teachers’ interest in education. C. Focusing too much on memorizing knowledge. D. Causing bad relationships between teachers and students. 29. When does passive learning happen? A. When learning a new lesson. B. When writing about reflection. C. When answering a teacher’s question. D. When planning active learning activities. 30. Which would the author most probably agree with? A. Parents should support teachers’ education. B. Teachers shouldn’t bother students’ learning process. C. We must make passive learning disappear from classes. D. We should balance passive learning and active learning. 31. What does the underlined word “time-consuming” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Taking too much time. B. Highly effective. C. Making no difference. D. Rather expensive. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对被动学习和主动学习两种学习模式进行比较和分析，指出两种学习方式各有优势和挑战，要做到平衡使用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Freire called this pattern of learning banking education as the student serves as an account in which the teacher or banker places knowledge or money. There’s a heavy stress on memorizing information or knowledge. The student should take notes and be ready to repeat what the teacher has said. The teacher is the wise man on the stage.(弗莱雷把这种学习模式称为银行式教育，因为学生充当了一个账户，老师或银行家把知识或金钱放在这个账户里。记忆信息或知识的压力很大。学生应该做笔记，并准备好重复老师所说的话。老师是舞台上的智者。)”可知，银行式教育的缺点是过于注重记忆知识，给学生带来了压力。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Passive learning always sounds bad but sometimes it can be beneficial. When people have no former knowledge of a subject, passive learning can provide a foundation for future active learning activities.(被动学习总是听起来不好，但有时它可能是有益的。当人们以前对某一学科一无所知时，被动学习可以为未来的主动学习活动提供基础。) ”可知，当学习新东西（新课程）的时候被动学习这种行为便发生了，从而为未来的主动学习活动提供基础。 故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In conclusion, there’s room in the world of education for both passive and active learning. But too much reliance on either one will probably be a disadvantage for students.(总之，在教育的世界里，被动学习和主动学习都有一席之地。但是过于依赖其中任何一种都可能对学生不利。)”可知，作者认为任何一种方式都不是完美的，应该平衡被动学习和主动学习，充分发挥其优势。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“Active learning encourages students to use their current knowledge to build new understanding. There’s a reduction of lecturing in an active learning classroom. Rather, students interact with each other and the teacher to develop their understanding of the content. Active learning also faces some challenges. One is that active learning is time-consuming. Developing activities and leading discussions can force the class to move slower. If the course covers a large amount of content, this can be challenging for teachers.(主动学习鼓励学生利用现有知识建立新的理解。在主动学习型课堂上讲课的次数减少了。相反，学生之间和老师之间的互动促进了他们对内容的理解。主动学习也面临着一些挑战。一是主动学习是time-consuming的。开展活动和引导讨论会使课堂进展缓慢。如果课程涵盖了大量的内容，这对老师来说可能是一个挑战。)”可知，在主动学习型课堂上课堂进展是缓慢的。这是因为活动的开展会耗费很多时间，则划线词意为“耗时的”。故选A。 D Since her retirement, an old family friend has begun visually journaling her travels. She isn’t an “artist”, but that doesn’t reduce her joy in her experiences or the truth and appeal of her sketches (素描). It was inspiring and I took it as a good idea for later. When I saw the recent Van der Weel and Van der Meer study about handwriting and cognitive activation (认知激活), I thought about my friend, the passage of time, and aging and realized that it was time to hunt up all my media ( pens, pencils, watercolors, bound journals, and sketchpads) and shift some activities from keyboard to paper as an investment in brain health. Van der Weel and Van der Meer found writing by hand (rather than tapping away on your keyboard) increases brain connectivity. It may be time to consider deleting some of those list-making and journal apps from your phone and return to paper and notebooks. Healthy media use of any kind is, after all, about balance. I realized that I write very little by hand but if doing so activates the whole brain, then it may join the list of activities, like doing crossword puzzles and learning a new language, which help delay cognitive decline. Writing helps people process life’s emotional ups and downs through sense-making—the greater the cognitive effort to find meaning, the greater appreciation of the benefits and improved mood. Meaning and positive emotions are central to well-being. However, I had never considered the physical act of handwriting as a brain health aging activity. The greater brain activity from handwriting compared to typing is thought to explain why handwritten notes are linked to increased learning among students. Learning and memory are both cognitive functions. Learning describes how we gain new skills and knowledge. Memory is how we store and bring back what we learn. Aging messes with both and can prevent new learning as well as the memory of what you just learned. However, social, physical, and cognitively challenging activities have been shown to reduce the negative effects of aging on cognitive function and increase cognitive reserve (认知储备). 32. What made the author begin to notice brain health? A. The passage of time. B. The aging of him/her. C. The recent study about handwriting. D. His/Her friend’s visual travel sketch. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of writing. B. Ups and downs of life. C. The meanings of positive emotions. D. The advantages of writing over computers. 34. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By giving advice. B. By listing numbers. C. By quoting experts’ words. D. By making a comparison. 35. What may the author say to students? A. Learn by memorizing. B. Add handwriting to your list. C. Be aware of the secret of memory. D. Join in the healthy aging activities. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写对认知健康益处以及它可能有助于延缓与年龄衰退相关的认知下降。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“When I saw the recent Van der Weel and Van der Meer study about handwriting and cognitive activation, I thought about my friend, the passage of time, and aging and realized that it was time to hunt up all my media (pens, pencils, watercolors, bound journals, and sketchpads) and shift some activities from keyboard to paper as an investment in brain health.(当我看到最近Van der Weel和Van der Meer关于书写和认知激活的研究时，我想到了我的朋友，时间的流逝和衰老，并意识到是时候把我所有的工具(钢笔、铅笔、水彩画、装订的期刊和速写本)都找出来，把一些活动从键盘转移到纸上，作为对大脑健康的投资。)”可知，最近关于书写的研究让作者开始关注大脑健康。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Writing helps people process life’s emotional ups and downs through sense-making—the greater the cognitive effort to find meaning, the greater appreciation of the benefits and improved mood. Meaning and positive emotions are central to well-being.(书写帮助人们通过意义建构来处理生活中情绪的起伏——寻找意义的认知努力越大，就越能体会到书写的好处，心情也就越好。意义和积极情绪是幸福的核心。) ”可知，第三段主要讲的是书写给人带来的好处。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“However, I had never considered the physical act of handwriting as a brain health aging activity. The greater brain activity from handwriting compared to typing is thought to explain why handwritten notes are linked to increased learning among students. (然而，我从来没有认为手写这种身体行为是一种大脑健康老化活动。与打字相比，手写的大脑活动更活跃，这被认为可以解释为什么手写笔记与学生学习成绩的提高有关。)”可知，最后一段是通过比较手写和打字两种活动来说明手写的好处。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Van der Weel and Van der Meer found writing by hand (rather than tapping away on your keyboard) increases brain connectivity. It may be time to consider deleting some of those list-making and journal apps from your phone and return to paper and notebooks. Healthy media use of any kind is, after all, about balance. I realized that I write very little by hand but if doing so activates the whole brain, then it may join the list of activities, like doing crossword puzzles and learning a new language, which help delay cognitive decline.(Van der Weel和Van der Meer发现用手写字(而不是敲击键盘)可以增强大脑的连通性。也许是时候考虑删除手机上的一些清单和日志应用程序，回到纸和笔记本上了。毕竟，任何形式的健康媒体使用都是关于平衡的。我意识到我很少用手写字，但如果这样做能激活整个大脑，那么它可能会加入到一些有助于延缓认知衰退的活动列表中，比如做填字游戏和学习一门新语言。)”可知，作者建议将手写添加到日常列表中。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。 While writing, we may always ask ourselves “Are there any better expressions to convey what we mean?” In a writing class, a teacher tells a golden rule of writing. Teacher: Show but don’t tell, class. This is the golden rule of creative writing. You need to show the reader (the person who is reading) what you want to say, not tell him, or her.

You need to show the reader (the person who is reading) what you want to say, not tell him, or her.(展示，但不是告诉，同学们。这是创造性写作的黄金法则。你需要向读者(正在阅读的人)展示你想说什么，而不是告诉他或她。)”和下文的“Writing is about words, right? We can only tell things using words. How can we show them? We’re not painters!(写作是关于文字的，对吧？我们只能用语言来表达。我们如何展示？我们不是画家！)”可知，D项(但是我们要怎么做呢？)承接上文，学生针对老师的讲解提出问题，下文指出学生对于老师的说法不理解，与问题的逻辑一致。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据上文的“Stop laughing, everybody, and listen carefully. I’ll give you two examples: ‘He was feeling very worried.’ Now I will say the same thing in a different way: ‘He was biting his fingernails and sweating.’ (大家别笑了，仔细听。我给你们举两个例子：他感到非常担心。“现在我要用另一种方式说同样的话：他在咬指甲，出汗了。)”和下文的“Which part shows the reader how he was feeling?(哪一部分向读者展示了他当时的感受？)”可知，F项(现在，哪个例子告诉读者这个人的感受？)承接上文，老师让学生做出选择，下文是对这个问题进行解释。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据上文的“The second example, the one about the fingernails and the sweating.(第二个例子，关于指甲和出汗的那个。)”和下文的“Yes! Excellent! Well done, Anne. You’re a brilliant student.(是的！太好了！说得好，安妮。你是个聪明的学生。)”可知，A项(这是在展示感受。)承接上文，是学生对于老师问题的回应，下文是老师对学生的赞扬。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文的“And here, everybody, we see a very good example of both showing and telling. Not only has David told us that he doesn’t understand, he’s also shown us: with that silly look on his face.(在这里，各位，我们看到了一个展示和讲述都很好的例子。大卫不仅告诉我们他不懂，他还带着一副傻乎乎的表情向我们展示了这一点。)”和下文的“Well done!(做得好！)”可知，B项(一个很好的例子。)承接上文，老师借用大卫傻乎乎的表情进行现场举例说明如何做出展示，并赞扬大卫。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据上文的“David! Don’t shout at Anne. She’s done nothing wrong. Now, everybody, let’s play a game:(大卫！不要对安妮大喊大叫。她没做错什么。现在，大家来做一个游戏：)”和下文的“OK? Right, let’s go. ‘She was very sad.’ Now, who’d like to speak out your sentence?(好吗？好了，我们开始吧。她很伤心。“现在，谁愿意说出你的句子？”)”可知，E项(我要告诉你一件事，你必须用另一种方式说。)承接上文，说明了游戏规则，进行展示练习，下文借用安妮的伤心来作为展示练习的现场情景。故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Temperatures remained near zero and frost (霜) covered the ground on the morning of Saturday, October 29, but none of this ____41____ the group of volunteers and students who____42____ from different schools planting a new microforest.

Growing a plant in space is not an easy task._____57_____(normal), growing eatable and nutritious plants is difficult enough here on Earth, so imagine how challenging it would be_____58_____(grow) those greens in microgravity (微重力) and under highly_____59_____(control) soil conditions, humidity(湿度), light, and various gases.

Can you imagine a plant floating in a spaceship, with its roots_____61_____ (stick) out in every direction? Therefore, keeping this entire system in a good condition is very important.

Cultivating a plant in space is just one part of a more complex and_____64_____(large) effort. Astronaut farmers must ensure that the plants grow in such artificial conditions are safe to consume, have no side effects and______65______(be) pleasant to eat... at least a little. 【答案】56. that 57. Normally 58. to grow 59. controled##controlled 60. the 61. sticking 62. founder 63. for 64. larger 65. are 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在国际空间站上种植植物的挑战性以及宇航员首次在太空中吃到了自种的沙拉这一事实。 【56题详解】 考查同位语从句。句意：你知道这样一个事实吗？2015年8月10日，国际空间站上的宇航员首次吃了太空种植的沙拉。分析句子结构，空后为同位语从句，解释说明fact的具体内容，从句成分齐全，应使用that引导，且不能省略。故填that。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：通常情况下，在地球上种植可食用且营养丰富的植物已经够困难了，想象一下在微重力和高度控制的土壤条件、湿度、光照以及各种气体条件下种植这些绿色植物会有多大的挑战性。分析句子结构，此处应用副词修饰整个句子，normally意为“通常，正常地”，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Normally。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，此处为“It is + adj. + to do sth”句型，意为“做某事是……的”，应使用不定式做真正主语。故填to grow。 【59题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做定语，使用非谓语动词，soil conditions与control之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，因此应使用过去分词表被动。故填controlled。 【60题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：在太空中，重力的影响微乎其微，事物会发生变化，而且变化相当大。分析句子结构，因空白处后面名词被介词短语修饰，特指重力的影响，应使用定冠词the。故填the。 【61题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：你能想象一株植物漂浮在宇宙飞船上，根部朝各个方向伸出吗？此处为with复合结构，空白处在句子中做宾补，因与其逻辑主语roots之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应使用现在分词作宾补。故填sticking。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了实现这一目标，Rick Mastracchio，一个名为“Veggie”的特殊容器的创始人，和他的伙伴几年来付出了巨大的努力。根据空前的the和空后的of可知，此处应填入名词形式，founder意为“创始人”。故填founder。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，根据下文“for a few years”可知，此处表示“一段时间”，应使用介词for。故填for。 【64题详解】 考查比较级。句意：在太空中种植植物只是更复杂、需要更大努力的一部分。根据空前的and以及more complex可知，此处是要把太空种植和地球上的种植进行对比，应使用比较级，与larger并列，表示“更大的”。故填larger。 【65题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：宇航员农民必须确保在这样的人工条件下生长的植物是安全可食用的，没有副作用，吃起来至少有点愉快。分析句子结构，plants为复数主语，且本句描述的是一般性事实，谓语动词应使用一般现在时的复数形式are。故填are。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 学校英文报“绿色生活”栏目征稿，主题是“保护环境，人人有责”，请你结合自己的经历，写一篇短文投稿。内容包括：1.你的经历；2.你的观点。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Protecting the Environment is Everyone’s Responsibility I once participated in a weekend environmental volunteering activity that left a lasting impression on me.

But we always go to the fair,” she said. Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper. “Will I attend the art camp? Probably not,” I said to myself. “None of my friends are going.” I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” I sighed. “I’m going outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree. I’ll be out front.” I opened the door and blinked (眨眼睛) at the bright sunshine as I sat on the front steps. I thought about art camp and wished I felt a little braver. By the time I started drawing, I had convinced myself I was happy to skip the camp. I drew the pine’s strong trunk. I added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently toward the sun. Once I started drawing, I didn’t notice the fly buzzing around me or the sound of the lawn mower(割草机) a few houses down. That’s why I jumped when Mr. Weston said, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. Mr. Weston was out for a walk. He used a cane (拐杖) , and I cut the grass for him every week. “That pine was there when we moved in,” Mr. Weston said, “You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree will die.” 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。 I learned that roots grow out, not down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, I took a deep breath and filled in the application for the art camp. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I learned that roots grow out not down. Mr. Weston’s advice weighed on my mind as I continued to think about the art camp. The thought of the tree’s roots and the importance of spreading out made me reflect on my own situation. Just as the tree needed to spread its roots to thrive, I realized that I needed to spread my own roots to grow and experience new things. That night, I took a deep breath and filled in the application for the art camp. I reminded myself that meeting new people and challenging myself could be the nourishment my own roots needed. As I penned my personal details, a sense of excitement and anticipation flooded through me. Perhaps this was an opportunity to branch out on my own and discover new avenues in my passion for art. As I sealed the envelope, I knew this decision marked the beginning of my own personal growth and the start of an exciting artistic journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了一个少年发现夏天有一场为期五天的艺术夏令营，但他的朋友们都有其他安排，无法与他一同参加。因此，他感到犹豫和孤独，但最终决定留在家里。然后他去自家前院画画，被邻居先生的话所启发的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我懂得了根是往外长，而不是往下长。”可知，第一段可描写“韦斯顿先生的建议让我开始反思自己的处境，要像树一样伸开自己的根才能成长和体验新事物”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，我深吸了一口气，填写了艺术营的申请表。”可知，第二段可描写“我挑战自我，创造机会培养艺术的热情，开启激动人心的艺术之旅”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：我思考艺术营的事——反思自己的处境——伸开自己的根才能成长——填写艺术营的申请表——兴奋和期待涌上心头——开启艺术之旅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到……：realize that/be aware that ②标志：mark/sign 情绪类 ①令人激动的：exciting/thrilling ②热情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Weston’s advice weighed on my mind as I continued to think about the art camp.(使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】I reminded myself that meeting new people and challenging myself could be the nourishment my own roots needed.  (使用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 洛阳市2023——2024学年第二学期期中考试 高 一 英 语 试 卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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 can we know about the woman?

It was declared this year’s overall winner. The image captures (拍摄) both the beauty of the impressive snake and its fear of human threats like fires. The ecologist says, “During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used some skills to capture the environment.” The Rhino’s Annual Haircut Photographed by ecologist Molly Penny. The demand for rhino horn s (犀牛角) has reduced the population of rhinos to just 30, 000 globally. To try to save the endangered species, ecologists in South Africa have decided to saw off a part of the animals’ horns, which grow every year. It was captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England. Cruel as it seems, it reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered. For the Love of Flamingos Photographed by Peter Hudson. It captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos (火烈鸟) in Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other. The ecologist says, “Flamingos are all legs and necks but meanwhile beautiful and fascinating and I admit I have a deep passion for them, so I was thrilled when I watched this group in the shape of a heart.” Flames in Flumes Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee It captures a water redstart (红尾鸟) waiting to catch an insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission (提交). The photographer wanted to show the struggle the river birds are likely to face from the slowdown in water flow due to planned dams in rivers across India. 21. How is Red Night different from the others? A. It was taken by a biologist. B. It is a black-and-white photo. C. It shows wild animals’ suffering. D. It was photographed after a fire. 22. What can be seen in The Rhino’s Annual Haircut? A. The tips of saving an endangered rhino. B. The cruelty of killing an endangered rhino. C. The method of helping a rhino’s horn grow. D. The scene of cutting a part of a rhino’s horn. 23. Which photo was taken by a student? A. Red Night. B. The Rhino’s Annual Haircut. C. For the Love of Flamingos. D. Flames in Flumes. B “From delighting in the creativity of others, seeing something from a different viewpoint, sharing that experience or building connections, I know I always leave our galleries feeling energized, inspired and uplifted,” says Karin Hindsbo, the director of Tate Modern — and she’s certainly not alone. According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure centre in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical — which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care. Nottingham-based art psychotherapist Sofie Dobbelaere agrees that going to a gallery to view art can be a powerful healing (治愈) experience. “When we look at art, we connect with our humanity, and therefore are pulled into dialogue with something outside of ourselves,” she says. “This can help us feel connected and like we are part of something important.” We live in a fast-paced culture, often consuming great works of art as quickly as we do content on our phones. But the act of engaging with art often disobey our own deadlines and boundaries of time, inviting us to look a little longer. Next time you go to a gallery, try practicing “slow looking”, spending several minutes or even hours thinking over just one piece. Galleries are full of amazing works, but observing just one on a deeper level can be incredibly meaningful. According to a recent study, although 95% of UK adults agree that visiting museums and galleries is beneficial, 40% of us visit them less than once a year — which is especially regretful as so many of these incredible spaces and artworks, including the main collections in the Tate galleries, are completely free to view and open to all. “These gloomy (阴沉的) winter months are the perfect time to get lost in our free displays, especially if you’ve never visited before,” says Hindsbo. 24. Why is visiting a gallery an act of self-care? A. It relaxes the brain. B. It offers company. C. It pleases the visitor. D. It makes visitors wiser. 25. How should you act when visiting a gallery? A. Be polite. B. Take your time. C. Leave before the deadline. D. Stay longer than permitted. 26. What does the author find regretful? A. Some collections are not open regularly. B. Many seldom visit museums and galleries. C. Less than half never visit museums and galleries. D. Most think visiting museums and galleries is beneficial. 27. What may be the best title of the text? A. Free tour — visiting museums and galleries B. Culture cure — a cure few have experienced C. Why culture helps improve health condition D. How art can be a powerful healing experience C Passive learning and active learning are two totally different patterns of learning in the world of teaching. Traditionally, learning has been mostly passive in nature. However, in the last 2-3 decades, there has been a push to encourage active learning in the classroom. Passive learning refers to learning in which the student does little to acquire knowledge. The most common form of passive learning is direct instruction. In passive learning, the student is viewed as an empty container of knowledge that the teacher must fill with his or her knowledge. Freire called this pattern of learning banking education as the student serves as an account in which the teacher or banker places knowledge or money. There’s a heavy stress on memorizing information or knowledge. The student should take notes and be ready to repeat what the teacher has said. The teacher is the wise man on the stage. Passive learning always sounds bad but sometimes it can be beneficial. When people have no former knowledge of a subject, passive learning can provide a foundation for future active learning activities. Active learning is learning in which the student is actively involved in the learning process. Common examples of this learning pattern include any form of discussion in the classroom. Active learning encourages students to use their current knowledge to build new understanding. There’s a reduction of lecturing in an active learning classroom. Rather, students interact with each other and the teacher to develop their understanding of the content. Active learning also faces some challenges. One is that active learning is time-consuming. Developing activities and leading discussions can force the class to move slower. If the course covers a large amount of content, this can be challenging for teachers. In conclusion, there’s room in the world of education for both passive and active learning. But too much reliance on either one will probably be a disadvantage for students. 28. What’s the disadvantage of banking education? A. Failing to make classes move quickly. B. Weakening teachers’ interest in education. C Focusing too much on memorizing knowledge. D. Causing bad relationships between teachers and students. 29. When does passive learning happen? A. When learning a new lesson. B. When writing about reflection. C. When answering a teacher’s question. D. When planning active learning activities. 30. Which would the author most probably agree with? A. Parents should support teachers’ education. B. Teachers shouldn’t bother students’ learning process. C. We must make passive learning disappear from classes. D. We should balance passive learning and active learning. 31. What does the underlined word “time-consuming” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Taking too much time. B. Highly effective. C. Making no difference. D. Rather expensive. D Since her retirement, an old family friend has begun visually journaling her travels. She isn’t an “artist”, but that doesn’t reduce her joy in her experiences or the truth and appeal of her sketches (素描). It was inspiring and I took it as a good idea for later. When I saw the recent Van der Weel and Van der Meer study about handwriting and cognitive activation (认知激活), I thought about my friend, the passage of time, and aging and realized that it was time to hunt up all my media ( pens, pencils, watercolors, bound journals, and sketchpads) and shift some activities from keyboard to paper as an investment in brain health. Van der Weel and Van der Meer found writing by hand (rather than tapping away on your keyboard) increases brain connectivity. It may be time to consider deleting some of those list-making and journal apps from your phone and return to paper and notebooks. Healthy media use of any kind is, after all, about balance. I realized that I write very little by hand but if doing so activates the whole brain, then it may join the list of activities, like doing crossword puzzles and learning a new language, which help delay cognitive decline. Writing helps people process life’s emotional ups and downs through sense-making—the greater the cognitive effort to find meaning, the greater appreciation of the benefits and improved mood. Meaning and positive emotions are central to well-being. However, I had never considered the physical act of handwriting as a brain health aging activity. The greater brain activity from handwriting compared to typing is thought to explain why handwritten notes are linked to increased learning among students. Learning and memory are both cognitive functions. Learning describes how we gain new skills and knowledge. Memory is how we store and bring back what we learn. Aging messes with both and can prevent new learning as well as the memory of what you just learned. However, social, physical, and cognitively challenging activities have been shown to reduce the negative effects of aging on cognitive function and increase cognitive reserve (认知储备). 32. What made the author begin to notice brain health? A. The passage of time. B. The aging of him/her. C The recent study about handwriting. D. His/Her friend’s visual travel sketch. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of writing. B. Ups and downs of life. C. The meanings of positive emotions. D. The advantages of writing over computers. 34. How is the last paragraph developed? A. By giving advice. B. By listing numbers. C. By quoting experts’ words. D. By making a comparison. 35. What may the author say to students? A. Learn by memorizing. B. Add handwriting to your list. C. Be aware of the secret of memory. D. Join in the healthy aging activities. 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。 While writing, we may always ask ourselves “Are there any better expressions to convey what we mean?” In a writing class, a teacher tells a golden rule of writing.

But we always go to the fair,” she said. Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper. “Will I attend the art camp? Probably not,” I said to myself. “None of my friends are going.” I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” I sighed. “I’m going outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree. I’ll be out front.” I opened the door and blinked (眨眼睛) at the bright sunshine as I sat on the front steps. I thought about art camp and wished I felt a little braver. By the time I started drawing, I had convinced myself I was happy to skip the camp. I drew the pine’s strong trunk. I added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently toward the sun. Once I started drawing, I didn’t notice the fly buzzing around me or the sound of the lawn mower(割草机) a few houses down. That’s why I jumped when Mr. Weston said, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. Mr. Weston was out for a walk. He used a cane (拐杖) , and I cut the grass for him every week. “That pine was there when we moved in,” Mr. Weston said, “You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree will die.” 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。 I learned that roots grow out, not down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, I took a deep breath and filled in the application for the art camp. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
