On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop—a video game retailer(零售商), to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game device, for her as her son’s Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease, it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee (雇员) wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card. I walked back in and bought the Kinect.Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocketing her cash? She couldn’t know I wasn’t a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much? I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card—it was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game device and her credit card. “This is what my son’s been longing for.Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!”she said. She gave me $10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away. She had no idea how much of a difference even $10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made the hard time in my life a little better. She might think I helped her; however, I truly felt like the one who was being gifted something amazing. 4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. The author cancelled the video game for saving money． B. The author worked so hard that there was no time for games． C. The author was unwilling to help and kept a distance from the woman． D. The woman requested the author to purchase a Kinect for her son’s birthday． 5. What can we know about the woman? A. She gave the author $10 for the game device． B. She chose the author because he was handsome． C. She might not know exactly how much the game device would cost． D. She didn’t buy the game device by herself because of her laziness． 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Kind and honest． B. Brave and curious． C. Humorous and wise． D. Determined and energetic． 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Kinect, a Popular Game Device B. Help Others, Help Yourself C. A Stranger Who Had Faith in Me D. An Experience That Changed My Life 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。文章介绍了作者曾经因为生活艰难，去取消预定的游戏时帮助一位残疾妇女的故事。这名妇人认为作者给予了她帮助，但是作者认为他才是那个得到帮助的人，这体现了帮助别人就是帮助自己的主题。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“About six years ago I was going through a tough time, having two jobs to afford my rent．On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop—a video game retailer, to cancel the game I’d booked．”（大约六年前，我经历了一段艰难的时期，有两份工作要付房租。在一个寒冷的星期天早上，我去视频游戏零售GameStop取消了我预订的游戏。）可知，作者是为了省钱才取消了预订的游戏。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card.”（她给了我大约100美元现金和她的信用卡。）可知，这位妇女不知道游戏设备的具体价钱。故选C项。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“I walked back in and bought the Kinect.”（我走回去买了Kinect。）与第三段第一句“I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card—it was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game device and her credit card.”（我把现金还给了她，解释说我必须用她的卡支付——当时超过100美元，然后把游戏设备和她的信用卡交了出去。）可知，作者走进去买了游戏设备，然后把现金还给她，解释说必须用她的卡来支付——当时游戏设备的价钱超过100美元，作者还把游戏设备和她的信用卡给了她，由此可推知作者是一位好心诚实的人。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“She said she couldn’t walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game device, for her as her son’s Christmas gift.”（她说她不能走路，并要求我为她买一台流行的游戏设备Kinect，作为她儿子的圣诞礼物。）及最后一段“She might think I helped her; however, I truly felt like the one who was being gifted something amazing.”（她可能认为我帮助了她；然而，我真的觉得自己是那个被给予帮助的人。）文章介绍了作者曾经因为生活艰难,去取消早先预订的游戏时帮助一位残疾妇女的故事。这名妇人认为作者给予了她帮助，但是作者认为他才是那个得到帮助的人，这体现了帮助别人就是帮助自己的主题。故选B项。 C After years of research and tests, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It's an interesting and exciting new improvement in today's world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and protect our natural resources. The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuel such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car's engine. The Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing the hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution. A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery-powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that's not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack（电池组）is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car's brakes are used. This is referred to as "regenerative braking", because it generates electricity. Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal（踏板）, the engine starts backing up. Have you ever ridden in a car with someone which ran out of gas？That probably wouldn't happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, "I am low on gas. "When it completely runs out, the warning reads, "YOU ARENOW OUT OF GAS！"Then the electric power supply starts to work to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station. 8. Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. The hybrid car will be put on the market. B. Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars. C. When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning. D. The burning of fossil fuel is one of the largest sources of air pollution. 9. According to the passage, the word "hybrid" refers to_________. A. a high-tech discovery B. energy saving C. a new invention D. a combination of two things 10. "Regenerative braking" is an important process of the hybrid car because _________. A. it allows the car to come to a quick stop B. it gives the driver a smoother ride C. it produces energy to charge the battery D. it can control the speed of the car 11. Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A. They use less gas than regular cars. B. They' re safer to drive than most cars. C. They' re more modern than other cars. D. They cost less than regular cars. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了一种新型汽车混合动力汽车的优点和生产这种汽车的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的"But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuel such as coal and gasoline"可知，但是，最大的空气污染源之一是燃烧化石燃料，如煤和汽油。所以D选项“燃烧化石燃料是空气污染的最大来源之一”是正确的。故D选项正确。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。由第三段"A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery-powered"可知，混合动力汽车是油电混合动力汽车。所以通过上下文语境，可以判断出“ hybrid”一词指的是两个事物的结合。故D选项正确。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段内容尤其是最后一句中的“This is referred to as "regenerative braking", because it generates electricity”可知，这被称为“再生制动”，因为它能发电。所以“再生制动”是混合动力汽车的一个重要程序，因为它产生能量给电池充电。故C选项正确。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time，this helps it use less gas than a regular car"可知，虽然混合动力汽车大部分时间仍使用汽油，但这有助于它比普通汽车使用更少的汽油。所以混合动力汽车比普通汽车消耗更少的汽油是开发混合动力汽车的原因。故A选项正确。 【点睛】由上下文的语境是解决词义猜测题的重要解题方法。划线词的意思往往是我们要猜测的意思。我们可以通过已知的上下文的词汇或者句子来猜测未知的意思。 由第三段"A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery-powered"可知，混合动力汽车是油电混合动力汽车。所以通过上下文语境，可以判断出“ hybrid”一词指的是两个事物的结合。故D选项为小题2的正确选项。 D Plays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre in London is the best place to watch a profession al play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country. There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. People from all walks of life take on acting roles besides their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people. Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know “break a leg”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around. Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey. Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime (童话剧). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families. The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children. British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK. 12. Where can British people probably see the best professional play according to the passage? A. In the school halls. B. In every village hall. C. In the West End theatre in London. D. In many rural parts of Britain. 13. Which is NOT the reason why people from all professions take an active part in plays? A. To get to know more people. B. To look for the fun of life. C. Because they enjoy performance. D. Because they don’t like their own jobs. 14. What does the underlined phrase “break a leg” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Pay attention to safety. B. Say good luck and wish you success. C. Wish actors good health. D. Avoid being hurt. 15. When is the best time to enjoy the play performance in the UK? A. During the Christmas period. B. At the beginning of a school year. C. During family gatherings. D. The time when you’re visiting schools and villages. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了戏剧是英国文化的重要组成部分，不管是不是职业演员，他们中的许多人都喜欢表演。文章主要阐述了这种文化现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The West End theatre in London is the best place to watch a profession al play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country.”（伦敦西区剧院是观看专业戏剧的最佳场所，但全国各地的学校和村务大厅也会上演表演。）可知，在伦敦西区剧院英国人可以看到最好的专业戏剧。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“People from all walks of life take on acting roles besides their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people.”（各行各业的人在他们的正常工作之外扮演着角色。他们这样做是出于乐趣，出于对表演的热爱，也是一种结识新朋友的方式。）可知，因为他们不喜欢自己的工作这项陈述不是各行各业的人都积极参与戏剧的原因。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent.”（并不是戏剧社里的每个人都是熟练的演员，但是热情被认为比天赋更重要。）以及划线短语句中“Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know…”（朋友、家人和邻居都喜欢聚在一起观看最后的表演，并对他们认识的人说……）由此可知，此处应为当相识的人见面时应该是祝彼此好运，并预祝演出成功，故划线短语意思为“祝你好运，并祝你成功。”结合选项B项Say good luck and wish you success.“祝你好运，并祝你成功”意思一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey.”（每所学校每年至少演出一次，通常是在圣诞节，家长们都喜欢来看孩子们表演。随便问一个英国人，他们肯定会对参加学校的圣诞剧有美好的回忆，不管他们扮演的是玛丽还是约瑟夫，甚至是一只羊或一头驴。）可推知，在圣诞节期间，戏剧表演较多，是人们欣赏戏剧的最佳时间。故选A项。 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。 Volunteering offers great help to people in need, but the benefits (好处) can be even greater for you, the volunteer. ____16____.

Paul, a ticket gateline assistant, was working his usual shift at Leagrave Station. “Another wonderful day!” he thought and began to hum (哼) a tune. Suddenly a flash of movement around Platform One caught his attention. After taking a closer look, he realized it was a dog without a collar, silly and excitable, running round after nothing at all. “Oh!” he hurried down, appeared in a flash and successfully got hold of the dog, but it managed to struggle free out of his grasp, jumped down on the tracks and got stuck. Panic struck among standers-by as the dog madly raced up and down the tracks, trying to find a way out. There was a lot of noise of people shouting and dog barking. Then the train kicked in. Obviously, there was no time left to wait for the dog to jump out on his own, but he was not allowed to go down on the track. So he took out his phone and rang the signalman to warn the trains, getting them to slow down, ready to stop if necessary. Like a cat on hot bricks, he looked around to find something useful. Luckily a guy on the platform there had some bread. So without any hesitation, Paul took the bread and used it to attract the dog as the last hope. Immediately, the dog came over to the platform edge with wagging (摇) tails. But it couldn’t jump back up. That’s not the thing, Paul thought. Just as it put its paws up to get the bread, Paul managed to grab it. Thank goodness. Paul dragged it up on to the platform. He couldn’t let go of it for fear that it would struggle free a second time. He just held on, stroking its fur and patting on its head to calm it down. Finally he took the dog into the safety of the staffroom. 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。 Then Paul decided to turn to social media to identify its owner. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The couple shared the photos and the story on the TikTok that evening. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then Paul decided to turn to social media to identify its owner.

When they left, the dog turned and gave a wink goodbye, seemingly saying that Paul was to be thanked. The moving moment was filmed by the couple. The couple shared the photos and the story on the TikTok that evening. The courageous story soon went viral on the Internet. Giving a lot of likes, thousands of animal lovers worldwide praised Paul as a hero for his brave efforts and quick-thinking.

B About six years ago I was going through a tough time, having two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop—a video game retailer(零售商), to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game device, for her as her son’s Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease, it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee (雇员) wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card. I walked back in and bought the Kinect.Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocketing her cash? She couldn’t know I wasn’t a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much? I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card—it was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game device and her credit card. “This is what my son’s been longing for.Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!”she said. She gave me $10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away. She had no idea how much of a difference even $10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made the hard time in my life a little better. She might think I helped her; however, I truly felt like the one who was being gifted something amazing. 4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A.

An Experience That Changed My Life C After years of research and tests, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It's an interesting and exciting new improvement in today's world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and protect our natural resources. The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuel such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car's engine. The Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing the hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution. A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery-powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that's not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack（电池组）is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car's brakes are used. This is referred to as "regenerative braking", because it generates electricity. Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal（踏板）, the engine starts backing up. Have you ever ridden in a car with someone which ran out of gas？That probably wouldn't happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, "I am low on gas. "When it completely runs out, the warning reads, "YOU ARENOW OUT OF GAS！"Then the electric power supply starts to work to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station. 8. Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. The hybrid car will be put on the market. B. Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars. C. When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning. D. The burning of fossil fuel is one of the largest sources of air pollution. 9. According to the passage, the word "hybrid" refers to_________. A. a high-tech discovery B. energy saving C. a new invention D. a combination of two things 10. "Regenerative braking" is an important process of the hybrid car because _________. A. it allows the car to come to a quick stop B. it gives the driver a smoother ride C. it produces energy to charge the battery D. it can control the speed of the car 11. Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A. They use less gas than regular cars. B. They' re safer to drive than most cars. C. They' re more modern than other cars. D. They cost less than regular cars. D Plays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre in London is the best place to watch a profession al play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country. There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. People from all walks of life take on acting roles besides their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people. Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know “break a leg”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around. Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey. Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime (童话剧). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families. The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children. British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK. 12.

Paul, a ticket gateline assistant, was working his usual shift at Leagrave Station. “Another wonderful day!” he thought and began to hum (哼) a tune. Suddenly a flash of movement around Platform One caught his attention. After taking a closer look, he realized it was a dog without a collar, silly and excitable, running round after nothing at all. “Oh!” he hurried down, appeared in a flash and successfully got hold of the dog, but it managed to struggle free out of his grasp, jumped down on the tracks and got stuck. Panic struck among standers-by as the dog madly raced up and down the tracks, trying to find a way out. There was a lot of noise of people shouting and dog barking. Then the train kicked in. Obviously, there was no time left to wait for the dog to jump out on his own, but he was not allowed to go down on the track. So he took out his phone and rang the signalman to warn the trains, getting them to slow down, ready to stop if necessary. Like a cat on hot bricks he looked around to find something useful. Luckily a guy on the platform there had some bread. So without any hesitation, Paul took the bread and used it to attract the dog as the last hope. Immediately, the dog came over to the platform edge with wagging (摇) tails. But it couldn’t jump back up. That’s not the thing, Paul thought. Just as it put its paws up to get the bread Paul managed to grab it. Thank goodness. Paul dragged it up on to the platform. He couldn’t let go of it for fear that it would struggle free a second time. He just held on, stroking its fur and patting on its head to calm it down. Finally he took the dog into the safety of the staffroom. 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。 Then Paul decided to turn to social media to identify its owner. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The couple shared the photos and the story on the TikTok that evening. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
