B The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 24. What used to trouble the writer? A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training. 25. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the match? A. Defeated. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored. 26. What can we learn about Aaron from paragraph 4? A. He adopted his usual trick in the match. B. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer. C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round. D. He withdrew from the World Tennis Tournament. 27. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Price for One Mistake B. From Nobody to Somebody C. Why Brotherhood Matters D. Aaron's Last-minute Victory C Many westerners find it so interesting that they always see Chinese people carry a vacuum (真空) cup no matter which season it is. If you go to a restaurant in western countries, they usually serve you a cup of cold water, sometimes even with ice. And every time when Chinese people ask the waiter if they can change to hot water, actually they may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water? Seriously? Why do Chinese people drink hot water? The answer may exist in the following aspects. Actually, water quality became a matter of debate in the 1930s in China, when the water supplies were polluted. In order to prevent people from infectious diseases, the government suggested people drinking boiled water, because they considered it a way to kill off bacteria. They always boiled water daily and stored it in a kettle to keep the water warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water devices everywhere, in schools, factories, and government departments across the country. Besides, it is well known that Chinese people prefer hot meals every day. Therefore, some parents always teach their children to drink hot water with meals, because they think mixing cold liquids with hot meals is really bad for the stomach, and cold liquids may solidify fats in your stomach, which can cause digestive problems, while hot liquids aid in digestion. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, health is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang. In the Yin-Yang theory, water is Yin-type while hot stuff is Yang-type, drinking hot water can enrich Yin and tonify (滋补) Yang in your body, keeping Yin and Yang in balance. If you have cold symptoms or other Yin-type imbalances such as frequent chills, thirst, depression or sleepiness, hot water plays the role of the Yang and brings your body back into balance. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine always tell patients to drink more hot water. 28. Why did the author describe the scene in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To compare East with West. C. To narrate an experience. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 29. What can we know about the 1930s in China? A. Water quality was improved by boiling water. B. Infectious diseases struck the country seriously. C. Polluting substances entered the water supplies. D. More devices were introduced to keep water warm. 30. Which of the followings can Chinese people agree with? A. Hot water can cure people of depression. B Cold liquids may soften fats in people’s stomach. C. Drinking water with meals does good to digestion. D. Imbalance of Yin and Yang contributes to ill health. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. Why Do Chinese People Drink Hot Water? B. Hot Water & Cold Water, Which is Better? C. The Cultural Differences Home and Abroad. D. Drinking Water is Essential to Human Health. D Thanks to the 1999 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 26 endangered species in Australia have seen their populations recover. It seems like that we're always hearing about new animals that have become endangered, but there's some good news in Australia: 26 animal species no longer meet the criteria to be listed as threatened. Australia’s biodiversity has been in decline, with more than 1, 700 species and ecological communities known to be on the line. In 1999, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act was passed to introduce protections for endangered animals. The burrowing bettong is one of 26 Australian species that have returned from the edge of extinction. Seemingly these are working, as a recent study published in the journal Biological Conservation reviewed the animals that were previously or currently listed as threatened between 2000 and December 2022, and discovered that 26 species had recovered to no longer meet the criteria. Species that have seen improvement include the charmingly named burrowing bettong, the golden bandicoot and the bulloo grey grasswren. Factors behind this improvement include habitat management, control of introduced predators (捕食者) and translocation of endangered animals to predator-free islands. However, the species have not been officially delisted at this time. The EPBC Act only allows species to be delisted if doing so will not have a negative effect on their survival, and researchers believe that conservation gains could be lost should management efforts be stopped. Dr Michelle Ward, a conservation scientist at WWF Australia, told The Guardian, “The key problem with delisting species is that then they no longer have monitoring and no longer need certain funding plans.” However, it is promising that researchers have found signs of improvement. Hopefully this will continue among these and other species! 32. What do the underlined words “on the line” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Out of place. B. At risk. C. Under control. D. On the increase. 33. What did a recent study find? A. Some animals are facing extinction. B. Burrowing bettong is a charming species. C. The criteria to be delisted were hard to meet. D. 26 endangered species’ populations are recovering. 34. The species haven’t been delisted officially because ________. A. their living situation is severe B. the delisting consequences are uncertain C. the conservation gains are short D. the habitat management level is poor 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the researchers’ discovery? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried. 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 Spend The Holidays Productively?

I drive to this beach whenever the world begins to close in on me. She was building a sandcastle and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea. “Hello,” she said. I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child. I was depressed: my life seemed completely out of balance. “What’s your name?” She wouldn't give up. “Ruth,” I answered. “Mine’s Wendy....I’m six.” She giggled, “Nice to meet you, Miss Ruth. Do you want to play? Maybe we can build something together. You’ll be happy!” She looked at me eagerly, waiting for my answer. I just couldn’t refuse this lovely creature. I asked her: “Why don’t you go to school?” “I don’t go to school. Mommy says we’re on vacation.” She chattered little girl talk as we built the sandcastle. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed. She pointed toward a row of summer cottages and told me she lives there. Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no mood to even greet Wendy when Wendy caught up with me, “I’d rather be alone today.” She seems unusually pale and out of breath. “Why?” she asked. I turned to her and shouted, “Because my mother died!” “Oh,” she said quietly, “then this is a bad day.” “Yes, go away!” “Did it hurt when she died?” “Of course!” I shouted. She didn’t say anything more, tears rolling down her face. A month or so after that, when I went to the beach, she wasn’t there. Feeling guilty, ashamed and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up to the cottage and knocked at the door. 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。 A drawn-looking(憔悴的) young woman with red and swollen eyes opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “She left something for you,” her mum’s voice trembled and handed me an envelop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 保山市智源中学2023-2024学年下学期高二年级 第二次月考英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分, 共150分。考试时间120分钟。 2. 请将选择题答案用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡上，非选择题用黑色签字笔填写在答题卡上，填在试卷上无效。 第Ⅰ卷(选择题，共95分) 第一部分 听力部分（共两节,每小题1.5分,满分30分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers discussing?

Today, I will tell you my first impressions of Australia. The country is huge, much larger than the uki went in summer to visit Sydney. It took me around 4 hours to get from Perth in Western Australia to Sydney, which is on the east coast. In England, a flight from London to Edinburgh in Scotland would take about 1.5 hours. It was really hot. Some days it was close to 40 °, its seasons are the opposite of the UK. So it's summer is during our winter. People in Australia do love having barbecues on many occasions. The food is awesome. I was shocked that many of them eat lunch by the roadside. I hardly ever did that before. Another surprise was the language. I had a friend from university who lived there. Sometimes she had to translate for me so that I could keep up with the conversations. In all, I found Australians to be very warm and friendly. If you don't mind the long flights, it is definitely worth a trip to Australia. 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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A The Best Bike Tours in Barcelona Street Art Tour Duration: 3 hours Your ride for the day is a beautiful handmade bamboo bicycle that will make you stand out among other cyclists!

It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 24. What used to trouble the writer? A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training. 25.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者努力在网球场上战胜哥哥的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached.(“亚伦的弟弟”的称号是在我六岁的时候给我的。这是一个贴在我身上的标签，人们所要做的就是引用这个想象中的标签，他们就会知道如何称呼我。我想打败亚伦，他的名气让我变成了一个无名的网球运动员。然后这一天终于来临了。)”可知，哥哥的名气一直困扰着我，我非常渴望被认可，故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match.( 比赛开始时，当我和亚伦握手时，我坚定地看着他。“我今天要打败你。”我鼓起信心宣布比赛结果。) ”可知，作者在比赛开始时是非常乐观的，故选C项。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land.

If you go to a restaurant in western countries, they usually serve you a cup of cold water, sometimes even with ice. And every time when Chinese people ask the waiter if they can change to hot water, actually they may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water? Seriously? Why do Chinese people drink hot water? The answer may exist in the following aspects. Actually, water quality became a matter of debate in the 1930s in China, when the water supplies were polluted. In order to prevent people from infectious diseases, the government suggested people drinking boiled water, because they considered it a way to kill off bacteria. They always boiled water daily and stored it in a kettle to keep the water warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water devices everywhere, in schools, factories, and government departments across the country. Besides, it is well known that Chinese people prefer hot meals every day. Therefore, some parents always teach their children to drink hot water with meals, because they think mixing cold liquids with hot meals is really bad for the stomach, and cold liquids may solidify fats in your stomach, which can cause digestive problems, while hot liquids aid in digestion. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, health is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang. In the Yin-Yang theory, water is Yin-type while hot stuff is Yang-type, drinking hot water can enrich Yin and tonify (滋补) Yang in your body, keeping Yin and Yang in balance. If you have cold symptoms or other Yin-type imbalances such as frequent chills, thirst, depression or sleepiness, hot water plays the role of the Yang and brings your body back into balance. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine always tell patients to drink more hot water. 28. Why did the author describe the scene in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To compare East with West. C. To narrate an experience. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 29. What can we know about the 1930s in China? A. Water quality was improved by boiling water. B. Infectious diseases struck the country seriously. C. Polluting substances entered the water supplies. D. More devices were introduced to keep water warm. 30. Which of the followings can Chinese people agree with? A. Hot water can cure people of depression. B. Cold liquids may soften fats in people’s stomach. C. Drinking water with meals does good to digestion. D. Imbalance of Yin and Yang contributes to ill health. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. Why Do Chinese People Drink Hot Water? B. Hot Water & Cold Water, Which is Better? C. The Cultural Differences Home and Abroad. D. Drinking Water is Essential to Human Health. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍中国人习惯喝热水的渊源和由来。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Many westerners find it so interesting that they always see Chinese people carry a vacuum (真空) cup no matter which season it is. If you go to a restaurant in western countries, they usually serve you a cup of cold water, sometimes even with ice. And every time when Chinese people ask the waiter if they can change to hot water, actually they may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water? Seriously? Why do Chinese people drink hot water? The answer may exist in the following aspects.(许多西方人觉得这很有趣，他们总是看到中国人无论在哪个季节都拿着一个真空杯子。如果你去西方国家的餐馆，他们通常会给你一杯冷水，有时甚至会加冰。每次当中国人问服务员是否可以换热水时，实际上他们可能会受到服务员或附近人的奇怪目光。热水吗？认真的吗？为什么中国人喝热水？答案可能存在于以下几个方面)”可推知，作者描述中国人随身带杯子是为了引出本文话题。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Actually, water quality became a matter of debate in the 1930s in China, when the water supplies were polluted.(实际上，在20世纪30年代的中国，当水供应受到污染时，水质就成为了一个争论的问题)”可知，当时的水资源被污染了。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the traditional Chinese medicine, health is due to an internal balance of Yin and Yang.(根据中医的说法，健康是由于阴阳的内部平衡)”可知，中国人认为阴阳失衡会导致身体不健康。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do Chinese people drink hot water? The answer may exist in the following aspects.(为什么中国人喝热水？答案可能存在于以下几个方面)”及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕中国人为什么习惯喝热水展开分析，A选项“中国人为什么喝热水？”符合标题特点。故选A。 D Thanks to the 1999 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 26 endangered species in Australia have seen their populations recover. It seems like that we're always hearing about new animals that have become endangered but there's some good news in Australia: 26 animal species no longer meet the criteria to be listed as threatened. Australia’s biodiversity has been in decline, with more than 1, 700 species and ecological communities known to be on the line. In 1999, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act was passed to introduce protections for endangered animals. The burrowing bettong is one of 26 Australian species that have returned from the edge of extinction. Seemingly these are working, as a recent study published in the journal Biological Conservation reviewed the animals that were previously or currently listed as threatened between 2000 and December 2022, and discovered that 26 species had recovered to no longer meet the criteria. Species that have seen improvement include the charmingly named burrowing bettong, the golden bandicoot and the bulloo grey grasswren. Factors behind this improvement include habitat management, control of introduced predators (捕食者) and translocation of endangered animals to predator-free islands. However, the species have not been officially delisted at this time. The EPBC Act only allows species to be delisted if doing so will not have a negative effect on their survival, and researchers believe that conservation gains could be lost should management efforts be stopped. Dr Michelle Ward, a conservation scientist at WWF Australia, told The Guardian, “The key problem with delisting species is that then they no longer have monitoring and no longer need certain funding plans.” However, it is promising that researchers have found signs of improvement. Hopefully this will continue among these and other species! 32. What do the underlined words “on the line” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Out of place. B. At risk. C. Under control. D. On the increase. 33. What did a recent study find? A. Some animals are facing extinction. B. Burrowing bettong is a charming species. C. The criteria to be delisted were hard to meet. D. 26 endangered species’ populations are recovering. 34. The species haven’t been delisted officially because ________. A. their living situation is severe B. the delisting consequences are uncertain C. the conservation gains are short D. the habitat management level is poor 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the researchers’ discovery? A Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了由于1999年《环境保护和生物多样性保护法》的颁布，澳大利亚26种濒危物种的数量已经恢复。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词前文“Australia’s biodiversity has been in decline, with more than 1, 700 species and ecological communities known to be(澳大利亚的生物多样性一直在下降，已知有超过1700个物种和生态群落)”可知，划线词生物多样性下降，处于危机中。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Seemingly these are working, as a recent study published in the journal Biological Conservation reviewed the animals that were previously or currently listed as threatened between 2000 and December 2022, and discovered that 26 species had recovered to no longer meet the criteria.(最近发表在《生物保护》杂志上的一项研究似乎正在发挥作用，该研究回顾了2000年至2022年12月期间以前或目前被列为受威胁的动物，发现26个物种已经恢复，不再符合标准)”可知，最近的研究表明，26个濒危物种的数量正在恢复。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“However, the species have not been officially delisted at this time. The EPBC Act only allows species to be delisted if doing so will not have a negative effect on their survival, and researchers believe that conservation gains could be lost should management efforts be stopped.(然而，这个物种目前还没有被正式摘牌。EPBC法案只允许在不会对其生存产生负面影响的情况下将物种从名单上除名，研究人员认为，如果管理工作停止，保护成果可能会失去)”及下一段“The key problem with delisting species is that then they no longer have monitoring and no longer need certain funding plans.(将物种从名单上除名的关键问题是，它们不再受到监控，也不再需要特定的资助计划)”可知，这个物种没有从名单上被移除是因为移除名单后有很多不确定性，后果尚不确定。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, it is promising that researchers have found signs of improvement. Hopefully this will continue among these and other species!(然而，令人鼓舞的是，研究人员已经发现了改善的迹象。希望这将在这些和其他物种之间继续下去)”可推知，作者对于研究发现是乐观的，持有积极态度。故选C。 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 Spend The Holidays Productively?

Unlike a gap year, a gap day means an ____57____ (extreme) brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to devote ____58____ (they) to the busy pace of normal life. Apart from “gap days”, other similar expressions have made ____59____ hit on the Internet, such as “city walk”, “da zi (activity partner)” and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases or euphemisms (委婉语) for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused ____60____ (heat) discussion. Some people think that these kinds of new phrases better cater to (迎合) people’s mindsets, ____61____ (show) their optimism. For example, the common expression “taking a walk” is neutral (中性的). But “city walk” ____62____ (be) the positive version of it, meaning “to explore the city with a curious mind”. Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, “city walk” is the same as “taking a walk” ____63____ general. But by calling it a “city walk”, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is. But no matter how we think of these phrases, they have taken root in our daily lives and have already gained wide ____64____ (recognize) among the younger generation. So _____65_____ we need to do is not make them out to be bigger than they actually are. 【答案】56. appeared##has appeared 57. extremely 58 themselves 59. a 60. heated 61. showing 62. is 63. in 64. recognition 65. what 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“间隔日”的概念以及其他一些流行短语。 【56题详解】 考查时态。句意：“间隔日”的概念最近出现在各种社交媒体平台上。根据句意及recently的提示可知，此处应该用一般过去时或现在完成时，主语为The concept of “gap days”，助动词用has。故填appeared/has appeared。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：与间隔年不同的是，间隔日意味着一段极短的放松时间，可以逃离日常的例行公事。本空后的brief是形容词，要用副词extremely。故填extremely。 【58题详解】 考查代词。句意：休息之后，人们会继续投入到正常生活的忙碌节奏中。devote oneself to是常见用法，意为“献身于，致力于”。故填themselves。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：除了“间隔日”，其他类似的表达也在网络上走红，比如“城市漫步”、“搭伙儿”等。句中的hit是可数名词，意为“风行一时的事物”，所以此处填a。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种为普通事物创造新短语或委婉语的趋势日益增长，引发了激烈的讨论。修饰名词discussion应用形容词heated。故填heated。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：有些人认为这类新短语更好地迎合了人们的心态，表现了他们的乐观。例如，常用的表达“散步”是中性的。分析句子结构可知，show和these kinds of new phrases构成了逻辑上的主动关系，所以此处要用现在分词作伴随状语。故填showing。 【62题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：但“城市漫步”是它的积极版本，意思是“带着好奇的心探索城市”。本句主语city walk是个名词短语，且这里讲述的是现在的事实，为一般现在时，谓语用单数。故填is。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，“city walk”和一般的“taking a walk”是一样的。in general是常见短语，意为“大体上”。故填in。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：但无论我们如何看待这些短语，它们已经在我们的日常生活中扎根，并且已经在年轻一代中得到了广泛的认可。作动词的宾语应用名词recognition，意为“认识，认可”。故填recognition。 【65题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：所以我们要做的不是让它们比实际大。引导主语从句，从句中do后面缺少了宾语，因此此处要用what来引导这个主语从句。故填what。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 66. 假定你是一所国际中学某班级的班长。在上周学校组织的英文辩论赛中你们班取得了优异的成绩。请你为本周的班会课写一篇英文发言稿，内容包括： 1. 表示祝贺；2. 充分肯定大家的努力和付出；3. 你的期待。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear classmates and teachers, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear classmates and teachers, I stand here on behalf of our class to congratulate you on your achievements in last week's English debate competition, and more importantly, to express my sincere thanks to everyone contributing to the success.

I drive to this beach whenever the world begins to close in on me. She was building a sandcastle and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea. “Hello,” she said. I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child. I was depressed: my life seemed completely out of balance. “What’s your name?” She wouldn't give up. “Ruth,” I answered. “Mine’s Wendy....I’m six.” She giggled, “Nice to meet you, Miss Ruth. Do you want to play? Maybe we can build something together. You’ll be happy!” She looked at me eagerly, waiting for my answer. I just couldn’t refuse this lovely creature. I asked her: “Why don’t you go to school?” “I don’t go to school. Mommy says we’re on vacation.” She chattered little girl talk as we built the sandcastle. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed. She pointed toward a row of summer cottages and told me she lives there. Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no mood to even greet Wendy when Wendy caught up with me, “I’d rather be alone today.” She seems unusually pale and out of breath. “Why?” she asked. I turned to her and shouted, “Because my mother died!” “Oh,” she said quietly, “then this is a bad day.” “Yes, go away!” “Did it hurt when she died?” “Of course!” I shouted. She didn’t say anything more, tears rolling down her face. A month or so after that, when I went to the beach, she wasn’t there. Feeling guilty, ashamed and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up to the cottage and knocked at the door. 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。 A drawn-looking(憔悴的) young woman with red and swollen eyes opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “She left something for you,” her mum’s voice trembled and handed me an envelop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A drawn-looking（憔悴的）young woman with red and swollen eyes opened the door. “ Hello ,” I said, “I’m Ruth Peterson. I missed your little girl and wondered where she was.” “Oh yes, Miss Ruth, please come in. Wendy talked of you so much,” She said in a very low voice, “Wendy died last week because of leukemia...” Struck dumb, I couldn’t believe my ears and couldn’t even breathe, my mind racing for something, anything, to say to this miserable young woman. But I couldn’t force a single word, tears welling up in my eyes. “She left something for you,” her mum’s voice trembled and handed me an envelop. I opened the envelope with blank mind. Inside was a drawing in bright colors: a yellow beach, a blue sea and us. Underneath was carefully printed: BE HAPPY. I took Wendy’s mother in my arms. “I’m so sorry, I’m sorry ...” I muttered over and over, and we wept together. The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study. It’s the gift of love. The two simple words speak to me of harmony, courage and undemanding love. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在海滩遇到一个6岁的小女孩，她给作者带来了快乐。但作者一个月后再去海滩时却没有看到她，作者找到了小女孩的家，小女孩的妈妈告诉作者孩子得了白血病，上周去世了。作者很难过，小女孩留给作者的东西让作者对爱和勇气有了新的感悟。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一个面容憔悴、眼睛红肿的年轻女子开了门。”可知，第一段可描写作者了解到小女孩去世的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容““她给你留了点东西，”她妈妈的声音颤抖着，递给我一个信封。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩留给作者的东西以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：寻找Wendy——得知Wendy去世——感到难过——打开Wendy留给自己的东西——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 提起：talk of/speak of 相信：believe/trust 涌出：well up/pour out 情绪类 哭泣：weep/sob 抱歉的：sorry/regretful 【点睛】[高分句型1] But I couldn’t force a single word, tears welling up in my eyes.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] I missed your little girl and wondered where she was.（运用了where引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
