C 18. C 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】There are plenty of mysteries of this planet. One of them that have been explained, however, is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is an area between three points in the Atlantic Ocean that create a triangle. It has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. It was first mentioned by a famous explorer in the 1400s, who said he saw a“great ball of fire”in the ocean. It was again referred to by the famous writer Shakespeare in the 1600s, in one of his books. But it didn’t become a popular story until 1918, when an American ship disappeared in the area with 300 men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing planes and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First, the area is well-known for stormy waters and bad weather. Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sailing equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. So, if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe! 第二部分 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 Looking for a new poetry book to read? I’ve got you! We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve got all we call “good parts”. Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing. Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara If you like a conversational style, Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in late 1950s’ New York. As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing. 100 Selected Poems by E.E. Cummings It’s a shame that more people don’t take EE Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form. The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic styles with modern ones. 21. Who enjoys writing in a free way? A. Ocean Vuong. B. Frank O’Hara. C. E.E. Cummings. D. Elizabeth Bishop. 22. Which poetry collection may reflect the routine life? A. Lunch Poems. B. 100 Selected Poems. C. The Complete Poems. D. Night Sky with Exit Wounds. 23. What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry? A. It is powerful. B. It is abstract. C. It is excellent. D. It is surprising. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了一些作者最喜欢的诗集。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form.(卡明斯不关心“规则”，他试图以自己的形式捕捉情感)”可知，E.E.卡明斯喜欢以自由的方式写作。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing.(顾名思义，他的诗大多是在工作的午休时间写的，给人一种现实的感觉)”可知，《午餐诗》可以反映日常生活。故选A。 23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop.(在我看来，任何一种奇妙的诗歌书都必须包括伊丽莎白·毕晓普)”可推知，作者认为伊丽莎白·毕晓普的诗歌非常优秀。故选C。 B Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara, ” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey. “MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. ”The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train, ”said MacDonald. MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travellers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour, ”MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up. ” She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel, “said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities. 24. Why did MacDonald tour the Sahara Desert? A. She grew up in Saudi Arabia. B. She intended to be a famous woman. C. She had a strong interest in travelling alone. D. She was attracted by the unexplored places in it. 25. How did MacDonald feel on the cargo train? A. Unclean and painful. B. Unique and relaxed. C. Comfortable and interested. D. Excited and unforgettable. 26. What made MacDonald once decide to give up her journey? A. The sandpaper on her skin. B. The difficult weather conditions. C. The dangerous animals. D. The harsh criticism. 27. What does the underlined word “dictates” in the last paragraph mean? A. Determines. B. Allows. C. Multiplies. D. Postpones. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了摄影师MacDonald克服各种挑战，实现了自己探索撒哈拉沙漠的梦想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey. (撒哈拉沙漠还有很多未开发的地区。这些相对未被探索的地方如今是如此罕见，并且蕴含着探索的基本原理，这吸引了我。所以我终于踏上了旅程。)”可知，撒哈拉沙漠有很多未被探索的地方，这吸引着MacDonald, 所以她要去撒哈拉沙漠旅行。 故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The train was dirty and uncomfortable(火车既脏又不舒服)”可知，MacDonald感觉火车很脏而且还很不舒服。 故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up. (我以为我的皮肤会因为下雨和吹沙子而被扯掉，感觉就像砂纸在我的皮肤上摩擦一样，我从来没有经历过这么大的风。曾经有一段时间，我想要放弃。)”可知，恶劣的天气使作者曾经想放弃她的旅程，故选B。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文“She dealt with the harsh conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. (为了应对恶劣的环境，她尽量不在中午出门，并戴上头巾以防太阳和风沙侵袭，)”可知，恶劣的天气环境决定了她们的出行时间，结合画线单词上下文““The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel, ‘said MacDonald(MacDonald说：‘天气肯定会……你旅行的时间和地点。’)”可知，画线单词“dictates”意思为“决定”, 故选A。 C “In high school, I decided to stop eating meat. I love animals. I couldn’t see them suffering.” Babulski says, who is a biologist at Monroe Community College in New York. Teenage Babulski initially lived on starches (淀粉食物) and salads. Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die. The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American. Eating meat is the norm in the United States, even though medical experts have long encouraged people to eat less processed and red meat for health reasons. What is becoming clear is that a meat-heavy diet is also terrible for the planet. Shifting demand from meat to beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts could have many benefits for the climate. A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions (排放) through lifestyle changes. That’s because households with incomes in the top 10 percent produce roughly 36 to 45 percent of global emissions, while households with incomes in the bottom 50 percent contribute just 13 to 15 percent. Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms. Babulski learned about the environmental impacts of meat production. She now shares her personal journey with students in her environmental science course. Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference. 28. Why did Babulski’s mother object to her becoming a vegetarian? A. She felt threatened. B. She was a meat lover. C. She misunderstood her. D. She was worried about her health. 29. What do most Americans think of a meat-heavy diet? A. It is a personal lifestyle. B. It can cause health problems. C. It is harmful to the environment. D. It is an essential part of their life. 30. Who plays a key role in reducing emissions according to the IPCC’s April report? A. The factories. B. The government. C. The low-income families. D. The wealthy people. 31. What is the attitude of most of Babulski’s students towards her diet? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Babulski成为一个素食主义者的原因和将肉食作为重要组成的饮食习惯对全球气候的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“ Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die.(最后，她学会了吃更均衡的素食。但是，Babulski记得，她的妈妈仍然希望她放弃这种疯狂。妈妈以为她要死了)”可推知，妈妈反对Babulski成为素食主义者的原因是她担心女儿的健康。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American.(Babulski和其他人成为素食主义者的决定可能会威胁到那些认为吃动物是典型的美国人)”可知，美国人认为偏重肉食的饮食是他们生活的重要组成部分。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions through lifestyle changes.(联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)今年4月发布的一份最新报告显示，世界上最富有的人可以通过改变生活方式来大幅减少排放)”和“Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms.(因此，采取低碳生活方式的富人可以帮助建立新的、更可持续的社会规范)”可知，富人在减少排放方面起着重要作用。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference.(她的许多学生开始意识到他们个人选择的力量。他们做的小事情加起来就会产生影响)”可推知，Babulski的大部分学生对她的饮食持支持态度。故选B。 D As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin (鳍) soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝) — up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend (趋势), particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing sea life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 32. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? A. Sharks are friends of humans. B. Sharks don’t attack people any more. C We need sharks to keep a balanced ecosystem. D. We can’t enjoy the summer ocean waves without sharks. 33. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? A. Just for fun. B. Just for their fins. C. For their delicious meat. D. For the restaurants’ development. 34. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? A. Wild Aid and other organizations. B. Jackie Chan. C. Ang Lee. D. Steven Spielberg. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks. B. Demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. C. Products coming from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos. D. The global movement to protect wildlife and stop the trade of wildlife products. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼，同时也分析了鲨鱼数量减少的原因，并呼吁人们减少对野生动物产品的需求来减少对野生动物的猎杀。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.(然而，我们很高兴看到全球都在努力保护数量不断减少的鲨鱼。世界已经意识到我们需要像鲨鱼这样的物种来保持生态系统的平衡)”可知，人们开始努力保护数量下降的鲨鱼是因为我们需要鲨鱼来维持生态系统的平衡。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，鲨鱼面临灭绝的威胁——每年有多达1亿只鲨鱼因鱼翅而被杀死)”可知，人们对鱼翅的需求在日益增长，所以猎杀鲨鱼主要是为了得到鱼翅。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.(在加州，通过野生救援组织和其他组织的努力，一项禁止销售和持有鱼翅汤的禁令今年已经生效)”可知，野生救援组织和其他组织帮助加州决定禁止销售和持有鱼翅汤。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing sea life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.(实际上，停止捕杀鲨鱼是一项更广泛的运动的一部分，该运动旨在阻止捕杀野生动物和买卖野生动物产品。这些产品来自于猎杀大象、老虎和犀牛，以及杀害海洋生物。无论是鱼翅汤还是象牙琴键，杀害动物都是一笔大生意。猎杀大象以获取象牙作为奢侈品已经变成了一场战争。非洲象数量的减少令人担忧。美国正与国际合作伙伴一道，带头在全球范围内减少对依赖于屠宰动物的高端产品的需求)”可知，最后一段的主要内容是保护野生动物和停止野生动物产品贸易的全球运动。故选D。 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。 Looking for a way to connect with nature but you’re not sure how to when you live in the city? ___36___.

This very direct connection with nature will make you realize that you’re part of the huge world, helping you to relax and feel calmer.(没有什么能比光着脚在草地上走几分钟更能让你感到与大地紧密相连的了。这种与自然的直接联系会让你意识到你是这个巨大世界的一部分，帮助你放松，感觉更平静)”可知，本段建议在草地上不穿鞋子行走，故B选项“脱掉你的鞋子，走一走”符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“One of the best ways to connect with nature is to make it come to you.(亲近自然的最好方法之一就是让它来到你身边)”说明接近自然的最好的方法之一是让自然来到你身边，下文“You can also fill some tubs with flowers to attract butterflies.(你也可以在一些盆里装满花来吸引蝴蝶)”建议了一种方式，用养花的盆来吸引蝴蝶，因此推断空格处应该也是选择一种方式来吸引某个自然中的动物，故D选项“你可以在阳台上或窗户上放一个喂鸟器”符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“If you’ve got a balcony (阳台), fill it with pots full of flowers.(如果你有阳台，在阳台上放满鲜花)”意为种植一些花，又因下文的them可知，横线处应该代表种植某种植物，故C选项“你也可以在它上面自己种蔬菜”符合语境，vegetable和flower都是植物。故选C。 第三部分 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。 We were dozens of feet off the ground, balancing on an inch of rope, slowly one foot in front of the other, crossing over towards the next platform, one careful step at a time.

Since he was an introvert (内向的人), the thought of making friends always made him feel nervous, and moving into a new neighbourhood meant he had to face his fears. On his first day, he didn’t talk to anyone or try to make friends, and during the mealtime, he sat at the corner table in the cafeteria and ate his lunch alone. No one in the class stepped forward to welcome him. Instead, they ignored him and refused to sit next to him in class. The next day, he was sitting alone in the classroom when a boy approached him and asked, “Can I sit next to you?” “Sure,” Liam smiled. “I’m Joel. And you? ” “Liam.” “Is it your first day today?” “No, it’s my second day. I recently moved into this neighbourhood.” “Oh, I didn’t know that. I skipped (逃避) school yesterday, so I thought it was your first day today.” As days passed, Liam and Joel discovered that they lived on the same street. After school, they often played catch in the nearby park, a game they both loved playing. It only took Liam a few weeks to become best friends with Joel. One day, Joel skipped school, and Liam had to sit alone in class, wondering why. Feeling worried, he went to ask his class teacher. “Liam, I’m so sorry, but your best friend got into an accident last night,” the teacher put her hand on Liam’s shoulder. “He lost his parents in the car crash.” “Oh no!” Liam covered his face with his hands. Two months later, Joel was allowed to go home after a spinal (脊柱的) surgery. However, he couldn’t walk and was restricted to a wheelchair. The day he arrived home with his grandmother, Liam rushed to Joel's house with a candy bar and the ball they used to play catch with Joel’s eyes lit upon seeing Liam. The boys talked to each other for hours before Liam’s mother came to pick him up at night. 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。 While he was happy to see his friend after months, he felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten days later, Liam asked Joel to play catch with him outside and he agreed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 While he was happy to see his friend after months, he felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. Moreover, seeing his elderly grandma struggle to push the wheelchair made Liam feel even worse. “Mum, I feel so bad for Joel,” he told his mother at the dinner table later that evening. “I can understand, sweetheart. But you don’t have to feel sad. You can help your friend adjust to his new lifestyle and make him feel better. Pitying him would make him feel worse.” Liam nodded and decided to try his best to help his good friend. Ten days later, Liam asked Joel to play catch with him outside and he agreed. However, when the boys started playing, Joel was missing most of the catches since he couldn’t run around. Later that night, Liam thought of all the ways he could help Joel and then realized the best option was to buy an electric wheelchair. Liam was thinking hard when he came up with an idea of setting up a charity contest at school to raise funds. To his delight, many teachers, students and their parents took part in the contest. The money in the donation box was enough to buy Joel the latest electric wheelchair. Thanks to it, Liam and Joel continued playing catch and Joel even attended school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了内向的五年级学生利亚姆在父亲意外去世后搬家并转学，初到新学校感到孤独。幸运的是，他结识了邻桌同学乔尔并成为好友。然而，乔尔遭遇车祸失去双亲并需要坐轮椅，出院后利亚姆去陪伴乔尔。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个月后，他很高兴见到他的朋友，但知道乔尔再也不能走路了，他感到很难过。”可知，第一段可描写利亚姆为乔尔感觉难过，在自己妈妈的建议下，利亚姆决定尽力帮助乔尔。 ②由第二段首句内容“十天后，利亚姆让乔尔在外面和他玩接球游戏，他同意了。”可知，第二段可描写乔尔错过了大部分接球，利亚姆决定筹集资金帮助乔尔，最终为乔尔买了最新的电动轮椅。 2.续写线索： 感觉难过——得到妈妈的建议——决定帮助乔尔适应生活——乔尔错过大部分接球——决定为乔尔买电动轮椅——筹款买到电动轮椅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help sb./do sb. a favor/give sb. a hand ②适应：adjust/adapt ③买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①悲伤的：sad/sorrowful ②高兴：delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, when the boys started playing, Joel was missing most of the catches since he couldn’t run around.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，since引导原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】Later that night, Liam thought of all the ways he could help Joel and then realized the best option was to buy an electric wheelchair.（运用了省略that引导的限制性定语从句，省略that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 四平市2023-2024学年度第二学期期中质量监测 高二英语试题 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：至选择性必修第三册结束。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve got all we call “good parts”. Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing. Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara If you like a conversational style Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in late 1950s’ New York. As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing. 100 Selected Poems by E.E. Cummings It’s a shame that more people don’t take EE Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form. The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic styles with modern ones. 21. Who enjoys writing in a free way? A. Ocean Vuong. B. Frank O’Hara. C. E.E. Cummings. D. Elizabeth Bishop. 22. Which poetry collection may reflect the routine life? A. Lunch Poems. B. 100 Selected Poems. C. The Complete Poems. D. Night Sky with Exit Wounds. 23.

B Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara, ” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey. “MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. ”The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train, ”said MacDonald. MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travellers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour, ”MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up. ” She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel, “said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities. 24. Why did MacDonald tour the Sahara Desert? A. She grew up in Saudi Arabia. B. She intended to be a famous woman. C. She had a strong interest in travelling alone. D. She was attracted by the unexplored places in it. 25. How did MacDonald feel on the cargo train? A. Unclean and painful. B. Unique and relaxed. C. Comfortable and interested. D. Excited and unforgettable. 26. What made MacDonald once decide to give up her journey? A. The sandpaper on her skin. B. The difficult weather conditions. C. The dangerous animals. D. The harsh criticism. 27. What does the underlined word “dictates” in the last paragraph mean? A. Determines. B. Allows. C. Multiplies. D. Postpones. C “In high school, I decided to stop eating meat. I love animals. I couldn’t see them suffering.” Babulski says, who is a biologist at Monroe Community College in New York. Teenage Babulski initially lived on starches (淀粉食物) and salads. Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die. The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American. Eating meat is the norm in the United States, even though medical experts have long encouraged people to eat less processed and red meat for health reasons. What is becoming clear is that a meat-heavy diet is also terrible for the planet. Shifting demand from meat to beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts could have many benefits for the climate. A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions (排放) through lifestyle changes. That’s because households with incomes in the top 10 percent produce roughly 36 to 45 percent of global emissions, while households with incomes in the bottom 50 percent contribute just 13 to 15 percent. Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms. Babulski learned about the environmental impacts of meat production. She now shares her personal journey with students in her environmental science course. Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference. 28. Why did Babulski’s mother object to her becoming a vegetarian? A. She felt threatened. B. She was a meat lover. C. She misunderstood her. D. She was worried about her health. 29. What do most Americans think of a meat-heavy diet? A It is a personal lifestyle. B. It can cause health problems. C. It is harmful to the environment. D. It is an essential part of their life. 30. Who plays a key role in reducing emissions according to the IPCC’s April report? A. The factories. B. The government. C. The low-income families. D. The wealthy people. 31. What is the attitude of most of Babulski’s students towards her diet? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. D As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin (鳍) soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝) — up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend (趋势), particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing sea life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 32. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? A. Sharks are friends of humans. B. Sharks don’t attack people any more. C. We need sharks to keep a balanced ecosystem. D. We can’t enjoy the summer ocean waves without sharks. 33. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? A. Just for fun. B. Just for their fins. C. For their delicious meat. D. For the restaurants’ development. 34. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? A. Wild Aid and other organizations. B. Jackie Chan. C. Ang Lee. D. Steven Spielberg. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks. B. Demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. C. Products coming from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos. D. The global movement to protect wildlife and stop the trade of wildlife products. 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。 Looking for a way to connect with nature but you’re not sure how to when you live in the city? ___36___.

Since he was an introvert (内向的人), the thought of making friends always made him feel nervous, and moving into a new neighbourhood meant he had to face his fears. On his first day, he didn’t talk to anyone or try to make friends, and during the mealtime, he sat at the corner table in the cafeteria and ate his lunch alone. No one in the class stepped forward to welcome him. Instead, they ignored him and refused to sit next to him in class. The next day, he was sitting alone in the classroom when a boy approached him and asked, “Can I sit next to you?” “Sure,” Liam smiled. “I’m Joel And you? ” “Liam.” “Is it your first day today?” “No, it’s my second day. I recently moved into this neighbourhood.” “Oh, I didn’t know that. I skipped (逃避) school yesterday, so I thought it was your first day today.” As days passed, Liam and Joel discovered that they lived on the same street. After school, they often played catch in the nearby park, a game they both loved playing. It only took Liam a few weeks to become best friends with Joel. One day, Joel skipped school, and Liam had to sit alone in class, wondering why. Feeling worried, he went to ask his class teacher. “Liam, I’m so sorry, but your best friend got into an accident last night,” the teacher put her hand on Liam’s shoulder. “He lost his parents in the car crash.” “Oh no!” Liam covered his face with his hands. Two months later, Joel was allowed to go home after a spinal (脊柱的) surgery. However, he couldn’t walk and was restricted to a wheelchair. The day he arrived home with his grandmother, Liam rushed to Joel's house with a candy bar and the ball they used to play catch with Joel’s eyes lit upon seeing Liam. The boys talked to each other for hours before Liam’s mother came to pick him up at night. 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。 While he was happy to see his friend after months, he felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten days later, Liam asked Joel to play catch with him outside and he agreed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
