A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了Carleton Summer Liberal Arts Institute（SLAI）的课程内容、活动安排以及申请方式等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Beginning on March 15, SLAI is an immersive (沉浸式的) summer learning experience for current 10th and 11th graders to explore liberal arts through rigorous and experiential curriculum.(从3月15日开始，SLAI是一个沉浸式的暑期学习体验，为当前的10年级和11年级学生提供通过严格和体验式课程探索文科的机会。)”和文章第三段中“Students who attend SLAI come away from the program on April 6(参加SLAI的学生在4月6日结束课程)”可知，SLAI将持续大约三周。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Specially, a variety of social activities are available after class every day(特别是，每天课后都有各种各样的社会活动)”可知，SLAI与其他学习经历的不同之处在于它使参与者能够参与社会活动。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Students who attend SLAI come away from the program on April 6 with improved college- level reading, writing, and research skills, an increased knowledge of topics and majors they may want to study in the future, and a general sense of preparedness for college.(参加SLAI的学生在4月6日结束课程后，他们的阅读、写作和研究技能都得到了提高，对他们未来可能想要学习的主题和专业有了更多的了解，并为上大学做好了总体准备。)”可知，SLAI提高了为大学做准备的意识。故选A。 B It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, Rhode Island, with a simple goal: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a pick-me-up. Best of all, each one of the tens of thousands of bouquets that What Cheer grows and delivers are completely free of charge. “We want to blanket the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,” says Erin Achenbach, What Cheer’s farmer and head florist. What Cheer regularly delivers joy to people at local hospitals, food banks, senior centers, recovery centers and more-including AIDS Care Ocean State, which provides support to those affected by HIV. “Seeing the smiles on people’s faces who weren’t expecting it — who just came in to have a meeting with their case manager or take advantage of one of our programs — to just see this glow come off their faces is great,” says Stephen Hogan Jr. from AIDS Care Ocean State. Located in Providence’s industrial Olneyville neighborhood, What Cheer’s flower beds lie on 2.7 acres that once housed a knife factory. And it’s safe to say that the What Cheer crew is deserving of some flowers of their own: In May, the nonprofit was awarded a record-high$500,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for its continued revival of a land once abandoned because of industrial pollution. “Not only do we give this space back to the neighborhood by bringing life to space that’ s quite literally dead,” says Achenbach, “but we’re an eco-landing spot with the ability to help local insect and bird populations, and that’ll only make people’s lives better.” What cheer, indeed! “What’s good about a flower is that it doesn’t need anything else,” she adds. “Your only job when someone gives you flowers is to enjoy them.” 4. What was the original purpose of What Cheer? A. To donate money to those in need. B. To present people with flowers for free. C. To protect the surrounding environment, D. To develop new flowers and distribute them. 5. Why could What Cheer obtain a high grant? A. It ranked as the local largest flower bed. B. It helped patients recover from illnesses. C. It delivered remarkable joy to local people. D. It was transformed into an eco-friendly area. 6. What can be inferred from Achenbach? A. The success of What Cheer can’t be copied. B. What Cheer improves the well-being of locals, C. What Cheer attempts to return the land to locals. D Enjoying flowers should be advocated every day. 7. Which of the following does the experience of What Cheer convey? A. Still water runs deep. B. Think twice before acting. C. God help those who help themselves. D. The roses in her hand; the flavor in mine. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一群志愿者在罗德岛的What Cheer Flower Farm开始了他们土地开垦，他们的目标是：把花送到任何需要好心情的人手中。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, Rhode Island, with a simple goal: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a pick-me-up. Best of all, each one of the tens of thousands of bouquets that What Cheer grows and delivers are completely free of charge. (一群志愿者在罗得岛州普罗维登斯的What Cheer Flower Farm破土动工已经快七年了，他们的目标很简单：把花送到需要提神的人手中。最重要的是，What Cheer种植和运送的成千上万束鲜花中的每一束都是完全免费的。)”可知，What Cheer最初的目的是向需要的人免费赠送鲜花。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“And it’s safe to say that the What Cheer crew is deserving of some flowers of their own: In May, the nonprofit was awarded a record-high$500,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for its continued revival of a land once abandoned because of industrial pollution. (可以肯定地说，What Cheer的工作人员也应该得到一些嘉奖：今年5月，这家非营利组织获得了美国环境保护署创纪录的50万美元拨款，以表彰它继续恢复一片曾因工业污染而被遗弃的土地。)”可知，What Cheer能获得高额资助是因为它将一个因工业污染而被废弃的土地转变成了环保区域。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段““Not only do we give this space back to the neighborhood by bringing life to space that’ s quite literally dead,” says Achenbach, “but we’re an eco-landing spot with the ability to help local insect and bird populations, and that’ll only make people’s lives better.” What cheer, indeed! (阿肯巴赫说：“我们不仅把这个空间还给了附近的社区，把生命带到几乎已经死亡的太空，而且我们是一个生态着陆点，有能力帮助当地的昆虫和鸟类种群，这只会让人们的生活更美好。”真是高兴极了！)”可知，What Cheer不仅给社区带来了生机，还成为了对当地昆虫和鸟类种群有帮助的生态栖息地，这将使人们的生活变得更好。可以推断出，What Cheer提高了当地居民的福祉。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, Rhode Island, with a simple goal: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a pick-me-up. Best of all, each one of the tens of thousands of bouquets that What Cheer grows and delivers are completely free of charge. (一群志愿者在罗得岛州普罗维登斯的What Cheer Flower Farm破土动工已经快七年了，他们的目标很简单：把花送到需要提神的人手中。最重要的是，What Cheer种植和运送的成千上万束鲜花中的每一束都是完全免费的。)”和第二段““We want to blanket the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,” says Erin Achenbach, What Cheer’s farmer and head florist. (“我们想让鲜花覆盖整个州，创造幸福和喜悦，”What Cheer的农场主兼首席花商Erin Achenbach说。)”可知，What Cheer的经历传达了一个信息：通过将废弃的工业用地转变为对环境有益的花田，并为人们带去快乐，它体现了“予人玫瑰，手留余香”的精神。因此，选项D“The roses in her hand; the flavor in mine. (她手中的玫瑰，我心中的芬芳。)”最能体现这种相互给予的美好寓意。故选D。 C A new form of real estate is popping up along the beaches of South Africa, which are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins. Their unique selling point: a safe and cool place for penguins to breed (繁殖). Historically, the penguins dug holes in layers of guano (鸟粪), but in the 19th century, traders started selling guano as fertilizer, leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to predators (捕食者) and the burning sun. This has caused African penguin populations to decrease. That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to employ artificial nests to provide penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their chicks. While guano trade petered out by the late 1800s, recreating the layers that accumulated over thousands of years isn’t an option, because seabird populations have declined so much over time and it would take around 600 years to produce one usable guano layer. Hence, the project decided to build artificial nests. At first glance, they look fairly simple--a domed structure made from two molded shells of fabric coated in ceramic slurry (陶瓷浆料),with a small entrance measuring about 20 centimeters wide. Getting the right temperature and dampness inside the nest was the toughest and most crucial part. The two-layer design and ventilation holes (通风孔) create an air conditioning effect, while the white paint reflects the sun, helping to maintain an interior temperature of less than 35 degrees Celsius. The project started to use the nests in late 2018.“Within a matter of minutes, penguins were running into them,” says Graham, coordinator of APNP. “That tells you how desperate they are for any opportunity to find a safe place to nest. However, population recovery relies on more than merely giving African penguins a safe place to breed. It’s not simply a case of ‘we give them a nest, the species are saved ‘. There has to be more.” 8. What do we know about artificial nests? A. They function better than natural nests. B. They are designed and built scientifically. C. They are unique attractions of South Africa. D. They are equipped with mini air-conditioners. 9. What is the goal of APNP? A. To raise money to preserve penguins. B. To promote the sale of artificial nests. C. To help penguins fight against diseases. D. To provide habitable shelters for penguins. 10. What does the underlined phrase “petered out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. turned up B. dried out C. faded away D. fell apart 11. Which of the following statements might Graham agree with? A. Penguins breed more chicks in safer places. B. Various conservation efforts need be combined. C. Artificial nests have achieved the desired effect. D. Artificial nests should be applied to other species. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在南非海滩上为非洲企鹅建立的人工巢穴项目，旨在通过科普的方式阐述该项目的背景、人工巢穴的设计特点及其对企鹅保护的意义。文中包含了对现象的描述、项目目的的说明、设计细节的解释以及项目实施效果的简要反馈。 8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“The two-layer design and ventilation holes (通风孔) create an air conditioning effect, while the white paint reflects the sun, helping to maintain an interior temperature of less than 35 degrees Celsius. (双层设计和通风口创造了空调效果，而白色油漆反射阳光，有助于保持室内温度低于35摄氏度。)”可知，它们是经过科学设计和建造的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to employ artificial nests to provide penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their chicks. (这就是为什么自然资源保护主义者发起了非洲企鹅巢项目（APNP），该项目旨在利用人工鸟巢为企鹅父母提供一个安全、阴凉的地方来抚养他们的孩子。)”可知，APNP的目标是为企鹅提供可居住的庇护所。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中的“recreating the layers that accumulated over thousands of years isn’t an option, because seabird populations have declined so much over time and it would take around 600 years to produce one usable guano layer. (重建几千年来积累的鸟粪层是不可能的，因为随着时间的推移，海鸟的数量已经减少了很多，而产生一个可用的鸟粪层需要大约600年的时间。)”可知，重新创造历史上积累了几千年的鸟粪层是不可能的，因为这需要大约600年的时间才能产生一层可用的鸟粪层。鸟粪贸易在19世纪后期逐渐消失，petered out应该指的是“逐渐减少或消失了”。A. turned up出现；B. dried out干涸；C. faded away逐渐消失；D. fell apart分崩离析。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The project started to use the nests in late 2018.“Within a matter of minutes, penguins were running into them,” says Graham, coordinator of APNP. “That tells you how desperate they are for any opportunity to find a safe place to nest. However, population recovery relies on more than merely giving African penguins a safe place to breed. It’s not simply a case of ‘we give them a nest, the species are saved ‘. There has to be more.” (该项目于2018年底开始使用这些巢穴。“几分钟之内，企鹅就撞上了它们，”APNP协调员格雷厄姆说。“这告诉你它们是多么渴望找到一个安全的地方筑巢。然而，数量的恢复不仅仅依赖于给非洲企鹅一个安全的繁殖场所。这不是简单的‘我们给它们一个巢穴，这个物种就得救了’。必须有更多。”)”可知，Graham认为仅仅为非洲企鹅提供安全的繁殖地并不足以恢复其种群数量，还需要更多的保护措施。因此，Graham可能会同意的观点是选项B“Various conservation efforts need be combined. (各种保护努力需要结合在一起)”。故选B项。 D When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say. For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance. “Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,” says Munoz, whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas, in the 1990s. Around 66% of the city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina. For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish. The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades, with each generation adding its unique twist. Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages. For the past decade, Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami, a city where some 72% identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical migration from Cuba. Their research documents the emergence of a distinct “Miami English” dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage. The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice, such as sounds like the “oo” in “boot” being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami, more like the Spanish “u” vowel, according to separate research by Carter, Lydda Lopez Valdez at the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University. “This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says. 12. Why is an example introduced in Paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the language innovation. B. To explain the advantage of Spanish. C. To highlight the mix of Spanish and English. D. To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary. 13. What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends? A. Spanish and English are interrelating. B. Mixing two languages is complicated. C. Languages dominate cultural development. D. Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture. 14. What does Carter intend to convey? A. Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently. B. Spanish possesses more sounds than English. C. Phrases are changing more slowly than before. D. Language change is progressive and dynamic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Researchers are Studying Languages. B. How Modem English is Changing Globally. C. How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish. D. How Spanglish is Influencing American Culture 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Spanglish（西班牙语和英语的混合语）的形成和演变，特别是新一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say.(语言学家说，当西班牙语与英语相遇时，新的方言就会出现，让我们实时了解语言的演变。)”和文章第二段“For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance.(例如，“Vamos de punches punches punches”，Yamilet Munoz给她在得克萨斯州奥斯汀的朋友们发了这条短信。这句话的意思是“让我们去派对”，但这不是你在任何字典里都能找到的短语。这是西班牙语和英语单词的混合体，并带有一个关于跳舞时挥拳的玩笑。)”可知，第二段中引入一个例子是为了说明语言的创新。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish. (对于穆尼奥斯和她的朋友们来说，说西班牙语是一件很骄傲的事，但同时也为将两种语言混合成一种被称为西班牙式英语的混合体而感到自豪。)”和文章第四段“Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages.(现在，越来越多的研究，以及像穆尼奥斯这样的双语使用者的经历，表明英语和西班牙语在美国是多么深刻地相互影响，产生了像西班牙式英语这样的混合方言，同时也改变了基础语言。)”可推知，Munoz和她的朋友们在说话中混合使用西班牙语和英语，这表明两种语言是相互关联的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says.(“这是语言变化的成果，这是方言形成的成果，这就是它是如何发生的。它会发生在一些非常明显的事情中，比如‘从车里下来’，但它也会以非常轻微的方式发生，”他说。)”可推知，Carter想要传达的是语言变化是渐进的和动态的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Spanglish（西班牙语和英语的混合语）的形成和演变，特别是新一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的。文章中提到，当西班牙语遇到英语时，新的方言就会出现，这为我们提供了语言演变的实时洞察。文章还通过Yamilet Munoz的例子，展示了Spanglish是如何在年轻人中流行的，并强调了这种语言混合现象在文化和身份认同中的重要性。因此，文章的最佳标题应该是C项“How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish”，即“一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的”。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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever considered what it would be like to be unable to smile? I hadn't, up until a few months ago, when I found that I actually couldn’t. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy-A relatively unknown condition that paralyses one half of the face. This was quite a shock and depressed me enormously. ____16____, the story is not about how tough life is, but how awesome it is when God challenges you in different ways. Anyway, smiling is a part of everyday life for me. It is my way of greeting people, of laughing, silent communication and consolidation. ____17____. Is it the lifting of the sides of a person’s mouth, the twinkling of the eye, or is it something beyond...or should I say behind the physical smile? ____18____, I came up with the conclusion that a genuine smile is not merely characterized by the upturning of the corners of the mouth, but by the actions, words, and thoughts of the smiler. This equipped me with hope and confidence. The reason was that I was aware smiling is not just an outward expression, but an inward lifestyle. With this in mind, I set to learning how to smile through my actions. There are a few things I had to change, but it is thanks to this challenge God has given me that I have grown closer to him. ____19____. I would really encourage you to smile more often and not just with your face! ____20____. For instance, Smile Cards with a chocolate bar/bookmark/bible verse/voucher! Slip it into someone’s hand/school bag and let them experience the true smile. A. After thinking about this for a while B. Smiling contributes to a person’s life quality C. If I had really grasped the meaning of a smile D. While this was a major bomb dropped on my life E. A smile can be anything making you or someone else joyful F. “Losing” half my face motivated me to rethink what a smile is G. I have become more confident, defeating the depressed un-smilers 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因患贝尔氏麻痹症而无法微笑，进而重新思考微笑真正含义。 【16题详解】 根据上文“I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy-A relatively unknown condition that paralyses one half of the face. This was quite a shock and depressed me enormously.(我去看了医生，被诊断出患有贝尔氏麻痹症——一种相对不为人知的病症，它会使我的半个脸瘫痪。这让我非常震惊，也让我非常沮丧。)”和下文“the story is not about how tough life is, but how awesome it is when God challenges you in different ways.(这个故事不是关于生活有多艰难，而是当上帝以不同的方式挑战你时，它是多么的棒。)”可知，空处需要一个转折句来连接前后文，表明虽然这个病给作者带来了打击，但她从中得到了成长。D项：While this was a major bomb dropped on my life(虽然这对我的生活来说是一个巨大的打击)符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Anyway, smiling is a part of everyday life for me. It is my way of greeting people, of laughing, silent communication and consolidation.(无论如何，微笑对我来说是日常生活的一部分。这是我与人打招呼的方式，笑声，无声的交流和巩固。)”下文“Is it the lifting of the sides of a person’s mouth, the twinkling of the eye, or is it something beyond...or should I say behind the physical smile?(是嘴角的上扬，眼睛的闪烁，还是别的什么……或者我应该说在身体微笑的背后？)”可知，描述了微笑在作者日常生活中的重要性，接着作者开始思考微笑的真正含义。F项：“Losing” half my face motivated me to rethink what a smile is(“失去”半边脸促使我重新思考什么是微笑) 很好地承接了前文，并引出了后文对微笑定义的探讨，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“I came up with the conclusion that a genuine smile is not merely characterized by the upturning of the corners of the mouth, but by the actions, words, and thoughts of the smiler.(我得出了一个结论:真正的微笑不仅仅是嘴角上扬，而是微笑者的行动、言语和思想。)”可知，空后得出结论，这表明作者在此之前进行了一段时间的思考。A项：After thinking about this for a while(在考虑了一会儿之后)是一个合适的过渡句，连接了作者的思考和结论，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“With this in mind, I set to learning how to smile through my actions. There are a few things I had to change, but it is thanks to this challenge God has given me that I have grown closer to him.(带着这样想法，我开始学习如何通过我的行动来微笑。有一些事情我必须改变，但正是由于上帝给了我这个挑战，我才更接近他。)”可知，上文描述了作者通过行动学习如何微笑，并因此与上帝更加亲近。这里需要一个总结性的句子来概括作者的变化和成长。G项：I have become more confident, defeating the depressed un-smilers(我变得更加自信，战胜了那些沮丧的不笑者)既总结了作者的变化，也呼应了前文提到的“我与上帝更加亲近”，符合语境。故选G。 20题详解】 根据下文“For instance, Smile Cards with a chocolate bar/bookmark/bible verse/voucher! Slip it into someone’s hand/school bag and let them experience the true smile.(例如，带有巧克力棒/书签/圣经经文/代金券的微笑卡片!把它塞进别人的手里或书包里，让他们体验真正的微笑。)”可知，下文提到了一些具体的行动建议，这表明这里需要一个引出具体行动建议的句子。E项：A smile can be anything making you or someone else joyful(微笑可以是任何让你或别人快乐的事情)符合语境。故选E。 第二部分语言运用(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。 It was January 2016, when dark clouds hid the day.

I had been looking forward to this trip for months and had packed everything I needed for my much-anticipated painting trip. Brushes, canvases(画板), and a column of watercolor paints - my most cherished companions on this creative journey - were carefully placed in my carry-on luggage. As I approached the security checkpoint, a sense of unease began to settle within me. I couldn’t help thinking that I must have forgotten something. I checked my passport and air ticket. Everything was in their place. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I realized I had forgotten about the strict rules on liquids in carry-on baggage. I felt a sense of panic as the realization dawned upon me - I would have to part ways with my beloved painting supplies. Unwillingly, I handed over my paints to the stern-faced (面无表情的) security officer, knowing that they were victims of my carelessness. I felt as if my creative spirit and good mood for the trip had been swept away in a gust of wind. I couldn't help complaining to him about how important those paints were to me and how much I had been looking forward to this trip. The officer’s straight face provided no comfort as he informed me that I could collect my items upon my return in a week. Days passed as I silently counted the minutes until I would be reunited with my artistic companions. On the day of my long-awaited return, my heart fluttered with nervous anticipation. As I exited the airplane and made my way to the baggage claim area, a familiar face caught my eye. Amongst the sea of strangers, a security officer stood, holding a package that resembled my beloved art supplies. My eyes widened in disbelief, my steps quickening with each step. Could it be possible that he had gone through the trouble of saving my cherished materials? As I reached the security officer, he met my gaze (凝视) with an unexpected smile. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a knowing look, he handed me the package containing my precious tubes of paints. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I left the airport that day, feeling a great desire to share my story on the Internet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With a knowing look, he handed me the package containing my precious tubes of paints. I expressed my gratitude with tears welling up in my eyes. “I took the liberty of looking up your return date and time,” the security officer explained. “I wanted to make sure I was here to return these to you so that you could continue pursuing your passion without any interruptions.” Consumed by his thoughtfulness and the weight of his gesture, I said excitedly,“Thank you. They mean a lot to me.” I left the airport that day, feeling a great desire to share my story on the Internet. When I arrived home and took out my tubes of paint, I immediately knew what to do. I drew a picture of the security officer and posted it on social media, telling the whole story and conveying my gratitude. It wasn’t just about the art supplies; it was about a stranger who had gone out of his way to lend a helping hand to another stranger. The post became a hit and many people commented below, sharing their heart-warming stories. It is these small gestures that remind us of the beauty and goodness within all of us. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在一次期待已久的绘画旅行中，由于疏忽忘记了关于随身携带液体物品的严格规定，不得不将自己的水彩画颜料交给机场安检人员。尽管作者对此感到沮丧和失望，但当他返回时，却发现那位安检人员已经妥善保存了他的绘画材料，并在他返回时交还给了他，这让他感到非常惊喜和感激。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“他会意地看了我一眼，递给我一个包裹，里面装着我珍贵的颜料管。”可知，第一段可描写安检人员把颜料还给作者以及作者的感激之情。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天离开机场时，我非常想在网上分享我故事。”可知，第二段可描写作者在网上分享了自己的故事以及感悟。 2.续写线索：归还颜料——感到兴奋——分享故事——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 表达：express/convey 确保：make sure/guarantee 追求：pursue/go after 情绪类 兴奋地：excitedly/feverishly 感谢：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I arrived home and took out my tubes of paint, I immediately knew what to do.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，“疑问词+动词不定式”结构作宾语） [高分句型2] It is these small gestures that remind us of the beauty and goodness within all of us.（运用了强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三二轮检测 英语试题 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把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收回。 第一部分 阅读(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,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Live and learn like a college student this summer at Carleton College’s Summer Liberal Arts Institute (SLAI).

B It’s been nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence, Rhode Island, with a simple goal: get flowers into the hands of anyone in need of a pick-me-up. Best of all, each one of the tens of thousands of bouquets that What Cheer grows and delivers are completely free of charge. “We want to blanket the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,” says Erin Achenbach, What Cheer’s farmer and head florist. What Cheer regularly delivers joy to people at local hospitals, food banks, senior centers, recovery centers and more-including AIDS Care Ocean State, which provides support to those affected by HIV. “Seeing the smiles on people’s faces who weren’t expecting it — who just came in to have a meeting with their case manager or take advantage of one of our programs — to just see this glow come off their faces is great,” says Stephen Hogan Jr. from AIDS Care Ocean State. Located in Providence’s industrial Olneyville neighborhood What Cheer’s flower beds lie on 2.7 acres that once housed a knife factory. And it’s safe to say that the What Cheer crew is deserving of some flowers of their own: In May, the nonprofit was awarded a record-high$500,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for its continued revival of a land once abandoned because of industrial pollution. “Not only do we give this space back to the neighborhood by bringing life to space that’ s quite literally dead,” says Achenbach, “but we’re an eco-landing spot with the ability to help local insect and bird populations, and that’ll only make people’s lives better.” What cheer, indeed! “What’s good about a flower is that it doesn’t need anything else,” she adds. “Your only job when someone gives you flowers is to enjoy them.” 4. What was the original purpose of What Cheer? A. To donate money to those in need. B. To present people with flowers for free. C. To protect the surrounding environment, D. To develop new flowers and distribute them. 5. Why could What Cheer obtain a high grant? A. It ranked as the local largest flower bed. B. It helped patients recover from illnesses. C. It delivered remarkable joy to local people. D. It was transformed into an eco-friendly area. 6. What can be inferred from Achenbach? A. The success of What Cheer can’t be copied. B. What Cheer improves the well-being of locals, C. What Cheer attempts to return the land to locals. D. Enjoying flowers should be advocated every day. 7. Which of the following does the experience of What Cheer convey? A. Still water runs deep. B. Think twice before acting. C. God help those who help themselves. D. The roses in her hand; the flavor in mine. C A new form of real estate is popping up along the beaches of South Africa, which are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins. Their unique selling point: a safe and cool place for penguins to breed (繁殖). Historically, the penguins dug holes in layers of guano (鸟粪), but in the 19th century, traders started selling guano as fertilizer, leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to predators (捕食者) and the burning sun. This has caused African penguin populations to decrease. That’s why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project (APNP), which aims to employ artificial nests to provide penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their chicks. While guano trade petered out by the late 1800s, recreating the layers that accumulated over thousands of years isn’t an option, because seabird populations have declined so much over time and it would take around 600 years to produce one usable guano layer. Hence, the project decided to build artificial nests. At first glance, they look fairly simple--a domed structure made from two molded shells of fabric coated in ceramic slurry (陶瓷浆料),with a small entrance measuring about 20 centimeters wide. Getting the right temperature and dampness inside the nest was the toughest and most crucial part. The two-layer design and ventilation holes (通风孔) create an air conditioning effect, while the white paint reflects the sun, helping to maintain an interior temperature of less than 35 degrees Celsius. The project started to use the nests in late 2018.“Within a matter of minutes, penguins were running into them,” says Graham, coordinator of APNP. “That tells you how desperate they are for any opportunity to find a safe place to nest. However, population recovery relies on more than merely giving African penguins a safe place to breed. It’s not simply a case of ‘we give them a nest, the species are saved ‘. There has to be more.” 8. What do we know about artificial nests? A. They function better than natural nests. B. They are designed and built scientifically. C. They are unique attractions of South Africa. D They are equipped with mini air-conditioners. 9 What is the goal of APNP? A. To raise money to preserve penguins. B. To promote the sale of artificial nests. C. To help penguins fight against diseases. D. To provide habitable shelters for penguins. 10. What does the underlined phrase “petered out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. turned up B. dried out C. faded away D. fell apart 11. Which of the following statements might Graham agree with? A. Penguins breed more chicks in safer places. B. Various conservation efforts need be combined. C. Artificial nests have achieved the desired effect. D. Artificial nests should be applied to other species. D When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say. For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance. “Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,” says Munoz, whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas, in the 1990s. Around 66% of the city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina. For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish. The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades, with each generation adding its unique twist. Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages. For the past decade, Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami, a city where some 72% identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical migration from Cuba. Their research documents the emergence of a distinct “Miami English” dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage. The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice, such as sounds like the “oo” in “boot” being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami, more like the Spanish “u” vowel, according to separate research by Carter, Lydda Lopez Valdez at the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University. “This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says. 12. Why is an example introduced in Paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the language innovation. B. To explain the advantage of Spanish. C. To highlight the mix of Spanish and English. D. To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary. 13. What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends? A. Spanish and English are interrelating. B. Mixing two languages is complicated. C. Languages dominate cultural development. D. Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture. 14. What does Carter intend to convey? A. Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently. B. Spanish possesses more sounds than English. C. Phrases are changing more slowly than before. D. Language change is progressive and dynamic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Researchers are Studying Languages. B. How Modem English is Changing Globally. C. How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish. D. How Spanglish is Influencing American Culture 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever considered what it would be like to be unable to smile? I hadn't, up until a few months ago, when I found that I actually couldn’t. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy-A relatively unknown condition that paralyses one half of the face. This was quite a shock and depressed me enormously. ____16____, the story is not about how tough life is, but how awesome it is when God challenges you in different ways. Anyway, smiling is a part of everyday life for me. It is my way of greeting people, of laughing, silent communication and consolidation. ____17____. Is it the lifting of the sides of a person’s mouth, the twinkling of the eye, or is it something beyond...or should I say behind the physical smile? ____18____, I came up with the conclusion that a genuine smile is not merely characterized by the upturning of the corners of the mouth, but by the actions, words, and thoughts of the smiler. This equipped me with hope and confidence. The reason was that I was aware smiling is not just an outward expression, but an inward lifestyle. With this in mind, I set to learning how to smile through my actions. There are a few things I had to change, but it is thanks to this challenge God has given me that I have grown closer to him. ____19____. I would really encourage you to smile more often and not just with your face! ____20____. For instance, Smile Cards with a chocolate bar/bookmark/bible verse/voucher!

I had been looking forward to this trip for months and had packed everything I needed for my much-anticipated painting trip. Brushes, canvases(画板), and a column of watercolor paints - my most cherished companions on this creative journey - were carefully placed in my carry-on luggage. As I approached the security checkpoint, a sense of unease began to settle within me. I couldn’t help thinking that I must have forgotten something. I checked my passport and air ticket. Everything was in their place. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I realized I had forgotten about the strict rules on liquids in carry-on baggage. I felt a sense of panic as the realization dawned upon me - I would have to part ways with my beloved painting supplies. Unwillingly, I handed over my paints to the stern-faced (面无表情的) security officer, knowing that they were victims of my carelessness. I felt as if my creative spirit and good mood for the trip had been swept away in a gust of wind. I couldn't help complaining to him about how important those paints were to me and how much I had been looking forward to this trip. The officer’s straight face provided no comfort as he informed me that I could collect my items upon my return in a week. Days passed as I silently counted the minutes until I would be reunited with my artistic companions. On the day of my long-awaited return, my heart fluttered with nervous anticipation. As I exited the airplane and made my way to the baggage claim area, a familiar face caught my eye. Amongst the sea of strangers, a security officer stood, holding a package that resembled my beloved art supplies. My eyes widened in disbelief, my steps quickening with each step. Could it be possible that he had gone through the trouble of saving my cherished materials? As I reached the security officer, he met my gaze (凝视) with an unexpected smile. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a knowing look, he handed me the package containing my precious tubes of paints. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I left the airport that day, feeling a great desire to share my story on the Internet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
