B From a Tampa performing arts conservatory comes the story of a blind jazz saxophonist who uses his disability as a teaching tool. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he encourages his students to act on instinct (直觉); to feel the music through their instruments, and not let the waking world deceive them. “Welcome to every day of my life,” says Matthew Weihmuller in his jazz improvisation (即兴演奏) class after turning the lights off. Weihmuller teaches jazz advanced, basic, and improve at the Patel Conservatory in Tampa. When Weihmuller started playing, he needed braille (布莱叶盲文) sheet music, and pieces would take months, even years to learn. As if that weren’t difficult enough, few people in the country were capable of providing braille music, so he started “brailling” his own, with the help of his mom — all the way through college. “They can’t look at their instrument. Now, they have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands, right?” Weihmuller said. “Now, we’ve got to listen to the music. We can’t read it... it forces the students to use their other senses.” Advanced jazz musicians will understand that during improvisational sessions, a musician has to be ready for sudden changes in time signature or key. This is nearly impossible to express through sheet music. At least in this regard, the children are learning in the best way for this unconventional, yet traditional form of jazz music. As an educator with blindness, Weihmuller stresses turning any disadvantage into an advantage, a teaching philosophy that has led some students to tell the man that he has changed the way they look at life. “It’s everything for me, as an educator to hear someone say that you changed their life,” he states. “It’s awe-inspiring and I hope that I can inspire others who are dealing with their situations, disabilities, barriers, and challenges in the same way that I have.” 4. What does the underlined word “deceive” probably mean in the first paragraph? A. Abandon. B. Suspect. C. Mislead. D. Humble. 5. How does Weihmuller teach his students jazz? A. By training them with all the lights off. B. By inspiring them to use multiple senses. C. By getting them involved in improvisation. D. By providing them with braille music sheet. 6. Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Realistic and easygoing. C. Hardworking and creative. D. Adventurous and tolerant. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The growth process of a blind musician. B. Teaching philosophy of a blind teacher. C. Braille music created by a jazz musician. D. The success of a musician’s improvisation. C One day, a snowstorm blanketed Washington, D. C., the whole city became a white world. When I awoke, I immediately put on my warmest clothes and dashed outside. I wanted to build a snowman. Then I noticed I had audience — a couple with coffee cups in their hands. My face flushed (脸红) with shame as I tried to come up with an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do? A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undoubtedly odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. Modern adults are suffering from excessive physical and emotional stress. We’ve held back our natural play instinct (本能), and that’s causing all kinds of problems — for ourselves, our children, and our planet. Playing suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto human came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs. “When I interviewed Nobel Prize winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds,” says Stuart Brown, a play researcher. While object play occasionally results in direct applications, it has a more general benefit as well, says animal behaviorist Marc Bekoff. “Most forms of play are about preparing for the unexpected by expanding your behavioral repertoire (技能).” When animals play by themselves — such as goats jumping around and intentionally landing awkwardly — they learn two lessons: How to recover from missteps and, more generally, how to remain calm when things go sideways. When it comes to humans, as we fully transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are beginning to combine again. Some of today’s most successful companies were started by people running small business in their garages. Organizations like these understand the value of encouraging adults to play. In many cases, people aren’t needed for routine, boring tasks any more. “You need passionate people who can invent new things, who can think of new ways of doing things,” Brown says. The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time or acting immature. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 8. Why does the author mention his own experience in the beginning? A. To present a fact. B. To describe a scene. C To clarify a concept. D. To introduce a topic. 9. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Modern adults are free to act on their instincts. B. Play is the driving power behind human progress. C. Humans make scientific breakthroughs by playing. D. Nobel Prize winners often separate work from play. 10 What qualities do companies most need in the knowledge-based economy era? A. Teamwork and honesty. B. Leadership and empathy. C. Innovation and enthusiasm. D. Patience and determination. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Adults should prioritize playtime B. Adults need to make time for play C. Play can expand and correct behavior D. Play is the source of human inventions D Felix, a Swedish food brand, has opened a climate-conscious store that will guide buyers to make informed decisions when purchasing food items. In the newly opened store, items are priced based on their carbon footprints. To help buyers understand the impact of their choices on the environment, products in The Climate Store will be bought using CO2e currency (货币). The store has given each customer a weekly budget of 18.9kg CO2e. This means that customers will have to choose foods carefully, avoiding options with higher carbon footprints in case of blowing their budgets. Pricing foods based on their climate impact shows the difference between plant-based foods and animal-based foods. Many of the foods that we consume are greatly contributing to the pollution of the environment. Although many people would love to make a difference by avoiding such foods, it’s not always clear which items are worse for the planet. Food production is responsible for about one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emission (排放). If customers can be aware of the foods that contribute most carbon, they can make decisions that will help reduce these emissions. “It will be exciting to see how customers react to trading with the CO2e currency and see if they manage to stay within their weekly budget,” Thomas Sjöberg, marketing manager for Felix, said. “I think it will be an eye-opener for many to see how certain choices affect what they can afford to get in the same lunch bag.” At the moment, the food industry doesn’t have a standardized approach to calculating carbon figures. The opening of The Climate Store is just one part of the brand’s long-term sustainability plan. Felix intends to bring about comprehensive features that will help its customers make informed choices when purchasing. This fall, the brand will be adding labels to all its products to indicate their impact on the environment. Felix expects such labels to help customers reduce the use of environmentally impactful products and increase the intake of plant-based products. 12. What is special about The Climate Store? A. Its labeled products. B. Its shopping guide. C. Its wide popularity. D. Its trading currency. 13. How are food items priced in The Climate Store? A. By their categories. B. By their production costs. C. By their real worth. D. By their environmental impact. 14. What can be inferred from Sjöberg’s words in paragraph 3? A. Customers’ choices affect their lunch. B. CO2e currency is popular with customers. C. The Climate Store has gained public recognition. D. Thomas runs The Climate Store on a tight budget. 15. What’s the purpose of opening The Climate Store? A. To promote new consuming patterns. B. To stress the benefits of plant-based items. C. To raise people’s environmental awareness. D. To help customers make informed decisions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking responsibility for your actions is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and maturity. ____16____ Developing a sense of responsibility not only strengthens your character but also boosts healthier relationships and personal development.

We chose that name because he could only see out of one eye. Everybody wanted to do something for the dog: Feed him, teach him tricks and take long walks with him. Everybody was so happy to have this active new addition to our family. Everybody, that is, except my mom and me. All my mom saw when she looked at the dog was someone else to clean up after. Messy, muddy, he pounced all over the house. All Mom seemed to care about was getting the house cleaned. Being the youngest in my family had its advantages. I was spoiled or everyone was convinced that I was the cutest. But being the youngest also came with its fair share of troubles. I was often told what I couldn’t do and why. “You’re too young!” “You’re too little!” “You’ll mess this up!” They’d often say. I also knew that my family loved me. They always tried to protect me, help me and take care of me but I couldn’t wait to show them I could do things by myself. Every time I asked my brother or my sister if I could pet One-Eyed, they would shout, “No!” Once, they even convinced me that I had so many bacteria; if I touched One-Eyed he would die! I really believed them. Once I even confessed (承认) to my mom that I touched the dog when no one noticed. At first, my mom seemed very confused about what I was telling her, but then she realized that they were playing a joke on me to keep me away from the dog. My mom scolded my brother and sister, “You’d better stop laughing at this little kid!” Little kid! That’s exactly what I was. That really got my blood boiling. I was so mad; I wanted to break something! 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。 To prove myself, I decided to give One-Eyed a bath alone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mom was pleasantly surprised to see what I had done to One-Eyed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度第二学期5月份质量监测 高二英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1．本试卷共10页，包含听力（共30分）、阅读（共50分）、语言运用（共30分）、写作（共40分）四部分。本次考试满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2．答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、考试号等用黑色0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题卡上。 3．作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题卡上的指定位置，在其它 位置作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每题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．Which place are the speakers going to tomorrow?

As if that weren’t difficult enough, few people in the country were capable of providing braille music, so he started “brailling” his own, with the help of his mom — all the way through college. “They can’t look at their instrument. Now, they have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands, right?” Weihmuller said. “Now, we’ve got to listen to the music. We can’t read it... it forces the students to use their other senses.” Advanced jazz musicians will understand that during improvisational sessions, a musician has to be ready for sudden changes in time signature or key. This is nearly impossible to express through sheet music. At least in this regard, the children are learning in the best way for this unconventional, yet traditional form of jazz music. As an educator with blindness, Weihmuller stresses turning any disadvantage into an advantage, a teaching philosophy that has led some students to tell the man that he has changed the way they look at life. “It’s everything for me, as an educator to hear someone say that you changed their life,” he states. “It’s awe-inspiring and I hope that I can inspire others who are dealing with their situations, disabilities, barriers, and challenges in the same way that I have.” 4. What does the underlined word “deceive” probably mean in the first paragraph? A. Abandon. B. Suspect. C. Mislead. D. Humble. 5. How does Weihmuller teach his students jazz? A. By training them with all the lights off. B. By inspiring them to use multiple senses. C. By getting them involved in improvisation. D. By providing them with braille music sheet. 6 Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Realistic and easygoing. C. Hardworking and creative. D. Adventurous and tolerant. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The growth process of a blind musician. B. Teaching philosophy of a blind teacher. C. Braille music created by a jazz musician. D. The success of a musician’s improvisation. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位盲人爵士萨克斯风演奏家Matthew Weihmuller，他利用自己的残疾作为教学工具，鼓励学生通过直觉去感受音乐，而不是被外界所迷惑。他强调将任何不利因素转化为优势，这是一种教学哲学，这种哲学已经让一些学生表示，他改变了他们对生活的看法。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he encourages his students to act on instinct; to feel the music through their instruments(就像欧比旺·克诺比一样，他鼓励学生凭直觉行事；通过他们的乐器来感受音乐)”可知，他鼓励学生凭直觉行事，即不被现实世界所误导，所以划线词所在的句子意思是：不让现实世界误导他们。deceive意为“误导，欺骗”，和C项“mislead误导”意思一致。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now, they have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands, right?” Weihmuller said. “Now, we’ve got to listen to the music. We can’t read it... it forces the students to use their other senses.”(“他们不能看他们的乐器。现在，他们必须用手指和手来感受乐器，对吧?”Weihmuller说。“现在，我们必须听音乐。我们看不懂……它迫使学生使用其他感官。”)”可知，Weihmuller是通过激发学生的多种感官来教授爵士乐的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When Weihmuller started playing, he needed braille (布莱叶盲文) sheet music, and pieces would take months, even years to learn. As if that weren’t difficult enough, few people in the country were capable of providing braille music, so he started “brailling” his own, with the help of his mom—all the way through college.(当Weihmuller开始学习时，他需要布莱叶盲文乐谱，而学习一首曲子需要花费几个月甚至几年的时间。然而，好像这还不够困难似的，国内很少有人能够提供布莱叶盲文音乐，所以他开始在他妈妈的帮助下“盲写”自己的乐谱，并且一直持续到他大学毕业。)”可知，Weihmuller学习一首曲子需要几个月甚至几年的时间，并且他开始在妈妈的帮助下自己制作乐谱，这表明他是一个勤奋（hardworking）且富有创造力（creative）的人。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From a Tampa performing arts conservatory comes the story of a blind jazz saxophonist who uses his disability as a teaching tool. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he encourages his students to act on instinct (直觉); to feel the music through their instruments, and not let the waking world deceive them. “Welcome to every day of my life,” says Matthew Weihmuller in his jazz improvisation (即兴演奏) class after turning the lights off.（Tampa表演艺术学院讲述了一个盲人爵士萨克斯管演奏家的故事，他利用自己的残疾作为教学工具。就像欧比旺·克诺比一样，他鼓励学生凭直觉行事；通过他们的乐器来感受音乐，不让现实世界欺骗他们。“欢迎来到我生活中的每一天，”Matthew Weihmuller在他的爵士即兴演奏课上关灯后说。）”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了一位盲人爵士萨克斯风演奏家Matthew Weihmuller，他利用自己的残疾作为教学工具，鼓励学生通过直觉去感受音乐，而不是被外界所迷惑。他强调将任何不利因素转化为优势，这是一种教学哲学，这种哲学已经让一些学生表示，他改变了他们对生活的看法。因此，文章主要讨论的是这位盲人教师的教学哲学。故选B。 C One day, a snowstorm blanketed Washington, D. C., the whole city became a white world. When I awoke, I immediately put on my warmest clothes and dashed outside. I wanted to build a snowman. Then I noticed I had audience — a couple with coffee cups in their hands. My face flushed (脸红) with shame as I tried to come up with an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do? A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undoubtedly odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. Modern adults are suffering from excessive physical and emotional stress. We’ve held back our natural play instinct (本能), and that’s causing all kinds of problems — for ourselves, our children, and our planet. Playing suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto human came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs. “When I interviewed Nobel Prize winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds,” says Stuart Brown, a play researcher. While object play occasionally results in direct applications, it has a more general benefit as well, says animal behaviorist Marc Bekoff. “Most forms of play are about preparing for the unexpected by expanding your behavioral repertoire (技能).” When animals play by themselves — such as goats jumping around and intentionally landing awkwardly — they learn two lessons: How to recover from missteps and, more generally, how to remain calm when things go sideways. When it comes to humans as we fully transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are beginning to combine again. Some of today’s most successful companies were started by people running small business in their garages. Organizations like these understand the value of encouraging adults to play. In many cases, people aren’t needed for routine, boring tasks any more. “You need passionate people who can invent new things, who can think of new ways of doing things,” Brown says. The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time or acting immature. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 8. Why does the author mention his own experience in the beginning? A. To present a fact. B. To describe a scene. C. To clarify a concept. D. To introduce a topic. 9. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Modern adults are free to act on their instincts. B. Play is the driving power behind human progress. C. Humans make scientific breakthroughs by playing. D. Nobel Prize winners often separate work from play. 10. What qualities do companies most need in the knowledge-based economy era? A. Teamwork and honesty. B. Leadership and empathy. C. Innovation and enthusiasm. D. Patience and determination. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Adults should prioritize playtime B. Adults need to make time for play C. Play can expand and correct behavior D. Play is the source of human inventions 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过自己亲身经历引出主题，主要讲述了成年人需要更多的玩耍时间，因为玩耍可以帮助我们减轻压力，提高创新能力，对人类的进步有着重要的推动作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I awoke, I immediately put on my warmest clothes and dashed outside. I wanted to build a snowman. Then I noticed I had audience — a couple with coffee cups in their hands. My face flushed (脸红) with shame as I tried to come up with an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do?(当我醒来时，我立即穿上最暖和的衣服，冲到外面。我想堆雪人。然后我注意到我有听众——一对手里拿着咖啡杯的夫妇。我的脸羞得通红，因为我试图想出一个答案来回答他们不言而喻的问题:你没有更好的事情要做吗?)”以及第二段中“A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undoubtedly odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. Modern adults are suffering from excessive physical and emotional stress. We’ve held back our natural play instinct (本能), and that’s causing all kinds of problems—for ourselves, our children, and our planet.( 一个中年妇女独自在雪地里玩耍无疑是一个奇怪的景象，但也许这不应该。现代成年人正遭受着过度的身体和情感压力。我们抑制了我们天生的游戏本能，这给我们自己、我们的孩子和我们的星球带来了各种各样的问题。) ”可知，作者个人的经历是为了引出文章的主题，即成年人也需要玩耍。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Playing suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto human came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs. ( 玩耍表明，在我们进化史的深处，一个顽皮的原人类提出了石器的概念。即使在今天，人类大多数最伟大的发明、艺术品和科学突破都是基于对游戏的渴望。)可知，玩耍是推动人类进步的驱动力。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“When it comes to humans, as we fully transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are beginning to combine again.(就人类而言，随着我们全面过渡到以知识为基础的经济，工作和娱乐开始再次结合起来。)”以及“Organizations like these understand the value of encouraging adults to play. In many cases, people aren’t needed for routine, boring tasks any more. “You need passionate people who can invent new things, who can think of new ways of doing things,” Brown says.(像这样的组织明白鼓励成年人玩游戏的价值。在许多情况下，人们不再需要做常规的、无聊的任务。‘你需要有激情的人，他们能够发明新事物，能够想出新的做事方式，’布朗说。) ”可知，在知识经济时代，企业需要热情和创新。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段“A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undoubtedly odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. Modern adults are suffering from excessive physical and emotional stress. We’ve held back our natural play instinct (本能), and that’s causing all kinds of problems — for ourselves, our children, and our planet.(一个中年妇女独自在雪地里玩耍无疑是一种奇怪的景象，但也许不应该这样。现代成年人承受着过度的身体和精神压力。我们抑制了玩耍的本能，这给我们自己、我们的孩子和我们的星球带来了各种各样的问题。)”以及最后一段“The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time or acting immature. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.”(下次我被抓到玩耍时，我很清楚我会说什么：‘我不是在浪费时间，也不是在表现得不成熟。我玩耍是为了全人类的利益。不客气。’) ”可知，作者通过自己亲身经历引出主题，主要讲述了成年人需要更多的玩耍时间，因为玩耍可以帮助我们减轻压力，提高创新能力，对人类的进步有着重要的推动作用。B项“Adults need to make time for play(成年人需要腾出时间来玩耍)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Felix, a Swedish food brand, has opened a climate-conscious store that will guide buyers to make informed decisions when purchasing food items. In the newly opened store, items are priced based on their carbon footprints. To help buyers understand the impact of their choices on the environment, products in The Climate Store will be bought using CO2e currency (货币). The store has given each customer a weekly budget of 18.9kg CO2e. This means that customers will have to choose foods carefully, avoiding options with higher carbon footprints in case of blowing their budgets. Pricing foods based on their climate impact shows the difference between plant-based foods and animal-based foods. Many of the foods that we consume are greatly contributing to the pollution of the environment. Although many people would love to make a difference by avoiding such foods, it’s not always clear which items are worse for the planet. Food production is responsible for about one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emission (排放). If customers can be aware of the foods that contribute most carbon, they can make decisions that will help reduce these emissions. “It will be exciting to see how customers react to trading with the CO2e currency and see if they manage to stay within their weekly budget,” Thomas Sjöberg, marketing manager for Felix, said. “I think it will be an eye-opener for many to see how certain choices affect what they can afford to get in the same lunch bag.” At the moment, the food industry doesn’t have a standardized approach to calculating carbon figures. The opening of The Climate Store is just one part of the brand’s long-term sustainability plan. Felix intends to bring about comprehensive features that will help its customers make informed choices when purchasing. This fall, the brand will be adding labels to all its products to indicate their impact on the environment. Felix expects such labels to help customers reduce the use of environmentally impactful products and increase the intake of plant-based products. 12. What is special about The Climate Store? A. Its labeled products. B. Its shopping guide. C. Its wide popularity. D. Its trading currency. 13. How are food items priced in The Climate Store? A. By their categories. B. By their production costs. C. By their real worth. D. By their environmental impact. 14. What can be inferred from Sjöberg’s words in paragraph 3? A. Customers’ choices affect their lunch. B. CO2e currency is popular with customers. C. The Climate Store has gained public recognition. D. Thomas runs The Climate Store on a tight budget. 15. What’s the purpose of opening The Climate Store? A. To promote new consuming patterns. B. To stress the benefits of plant-based items. C. To raise people’s environmental awareness. D. To help customers make informed decisions. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是瑞典食品品牌Felix开设的一家注重气候变化的门店的相关情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“To help buyers understand the impact of their choices on the environment, products in The Climate Store will be bought using CO2e currency (货币). The store has given each customer a weekly budget of 18.9kg CO2e.(为了帮助购买者了解他们的选择对环境的影响，气候商店的产品将使用CO2e货币购买。这家店给每位顾客的每周预算是18.9公斤二氧化碳当量。)”可知，气候商店中的产品将使用CO2e购买，帮助购买者了解他们的选择对环境的影响，所以，气候商店的特殊之处在于它的交易货币。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pricing foods based on their climate impact shows the difference between plant-based foods and animal-based foods.(根据对气候的影响为食物定价，显示了植物性食物和动物性食物之间的差异。)”可知，根据对气候的影响为食物定价显示了不同事物之间的差异，由此可知，候商店的食品是根据对气候的影响为食物定价的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““It will be exciting to see how customers react to trading with the CO2e currency and see if they manage to stay within their weekly budget,” Thomas Sjöberg, marketing manager for Felix, said.(Felix的市场经理Thomas Sjöberg说：“看看客户对用二氧化碳货币进行交易的反应，看看他们是否能在每周的预算范围内完成交易，这将是一件令人兴奋的事情。”)”可知，Thomas Sjöberg看到客户对用CO2e货币进行交易的反应以及看他们是否能在每周预算范围内完成交易是令人兴奋的事情，由此可知，客户已经使用CO2e货币进行交易，也就是气候商店已经得到了客户认可。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Felix expects such labels to help customers reduce the use of environmentally impactful products and increase the intake of plant-based products.(Felix希望这样的标签能帮助客户减少对环境有影响的产品的使用，并增加植物性产品的摄入量。)”以及上文对气候商店相关情况的介绍可知，Felix希望这样的标签能帮助客户减少对环境有影响的产品的使用，由此可知，开设气候商店的目的是为了提高人们的环保意识。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking responsibility for your actions is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and maturity. ____16____ Developing a sense of responsibility not only strengthens your character but also boosts healthier relationships and personal development.

We chose that name because he could only see out of one eye. Everybody wanted to do something for the dog: Feed him, teach him tricks and take long walks with him. Everybody was so happy to have this active new addition to our family. Everybody, that is, except my mom and me. All my mom saw when she looked at the dog was someone else to clean up after. Messy, muddy, he pounced all over the house. All Mom seemed to care about was getting the house cleaned. Being the youngest in my family had its advantages. I was spoiled or everyone was convinced that I was the cutest. But being the youngest also came with its fair share of troubles. I was often told what I couldn’t do and why. “You’re too young!” “You’re too little!” “You’ll mess this up!” They’d often say. I also knew that my family loved me. They always tried to protect me, help me and take care of me but I couldn’t wait to show them I could do things by myself. Every time I asked my brother or my sister if I could pet One-Eyed, they would shout, “No!” Once, they even convinced me that I had so many bacteria; if I touched One-Eyed he would die! I really believed them. Once I even confessed (承认) to my mom that I touched the dog when no one noticed. At first, my mom seemed very confused about what I was telling her, but then she realized that they were playing a joke on me to keep me away from the dog. My mom scolded my brother and sister, “You’d better stop laughing at this little kid!” Little kid! That’s exactly what I was. That really got my blood boiling. I was so mad; I wanted to break something! 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。 To prove myself, I decided to give One-Eyed a bath alone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mom was pleasantly surprised to see what I had done to One-Eyed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para1: To prove myself, I decided to give One-Eyed a bath alone. That afternoon, I took the dog and sneaked into the bathroom. “I’m going to give you a bath!” I announced. One-Eyed looked at me strangely, obviously not understanding what I was saying. I took my sister’s shampoo and poured the whole bottle into the bathtub. Then I coaxed the dog in and started scrubbing the dirt off him with our towels. However, things quickly got messy. Soap and water splashed everywhere; bubbles floated like tiny, soapy snowflakes. One- Eyed shook himself vigorously and barked excitedly, soon turning the bathroom into a wet battleground. It should have been my secret mission, but now, it turned into a disaster! Panicking, I ran out to seek help, only to find my mom at the door. Para2: My mom was pleasantly surprised to see what I had done to One-Eyed. I thought my mom would punish me, but she was just standing there and laughing. “Well, well, what do we have here” she chuckled, wiping away tears of laughter. I stammered, admitting everything. Instead of scolding me, she bent down and gave me a gentle hug,” I knew you just want to help. “Straightening up”, she suggested, “Now shall we clean up the mess together, young man ” “Yes, ma’am!” I nodded. Even though we never actually had a conversation about my being the youngest, I think Mom understood I was trying to make my own place in our family. Bathing the dog might not sound like a Declaration of Independence, but for a six-year-old, well, it was my best shot. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是家里最小的孩子，家里人都宠着作者，不让作者做任何事情。作者家里养了一条小狗，作者的哥哥姐姐不让作者碰狗，作者偷偷地决定，要让他们看看自己这个小孩子能做什么。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“为了证明自己，我决定单独给“独眼”洗澡。”可知，第一段可描写作者给狗洗澡，结果弄得浴室一团糟，被妈妈发现。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到我对“独眼”做了什么，我妈妈又惊又喜。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈发现后没有责骂作者，她理解作者是想帮忙，于是妈妈建议作者和自己一起收拾，作者感悟到给狗洗澡对一个六岁的孩子来说是成长的最好的机会。 2.续写线索：走进浴室——给狗洗澡——弄得浴室一团糟——妈妈看到——妈妈理解作者——妈妈和作者一起收拾——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare/make an announcement ②责备：scold/reproach ③结结巴巴地说：stammer/stutter 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement ②惊慌：panicking/panic-stricken 【点睛】[高分句型1] One-Eyed looked at me strangely, obviously not understanding what I was saying. （连接词what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Panicking, I ran out to seek help, only to find my mom at the door.（现在分词作伴随状语和only to do表示意料之外的结果） [高分句型3]Even though we never actually had a conversation about my being the youngest, I think Mom understood I was trying to make my own place in our family.（even though引导让步状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
