Music constantly consumes her thoughts even during walks or chores. “Music is always on my mind, even when I’m doing something else. But with dishwashing, I tidy up and escape occasionally,” says the composer. Wallen’s passion for music shines through her impressive works and awards. Her music, both instinctive and emotionally expressive, shows great technical skill. With an Ivor Novello Award, 22 operas, and numerous other compositions, she graced events like the 2012Paralympics and the Queen’s anniversaries with her music. Her re-imagining of Jerusalem took the BBC Last Night of the Concerts by storm in 2020. Composing for her is as natural as breathing. She’s warm, talkative, and open-minded. Last year, she completed a memoir Becoming a Composer, reflecting on her musical journey, creative process, and the challenges of composing for a living. The book is a generous, amusing and beautiful read, effectively telling the composer’s life through Wallen’s accessible approach. In her book, Wallen reflects on her complex childhood, moving from Belize to London and growing up in Tottenham with an uncle and aunt while her parents lived in New York. Despite feeling deserted and rejected, music became her comfort, “The moment I began learning the piano was magical. The piano served as my window into the world of music and my composing table, transporting me to new places.” Wallen’s music often addresses political themes, such as Mighty River and her opera YES. She believes in telling stories that haven’t been explored enough, especially from personal perspectives. However, she acknowledges that being a Black artist requires more personal, cultural, and historical consideration than White artists. There is still much progress to be made. Wallen challenges the classical music norm, advocating for composers to embrace their unique backgrounds. She encourages her non-Western students to use their heritage into their work, opposing the need to follow traditional styles. 4. What would help Wallen to get rid of music for a while? A. Preparing dishes. B. Going for a walk. C. Thinking about chores. D. Doing some wash up. 5. According to the underlined part, Wallen’s re-imagining of Jerusalem . A. received mixed review s from critics. B. caused a minor stir among concertgoers. C. became a hit and attracted a lot of attention. D. was an unexpected addition to the concert program. 6. What is the focus of Becoming a Composer? A. The shaping of Wallen’s personality. B. The complex childhood and growth. C. The journey to musical composition. D. The magical piano and composing table. 7. What does Wallen think of composing as a Black artist? A. Challenging. B. Annoying. C. Comforting. D. Amusing. C Fat-shaming comments and weight-loss advice from classmates and relatives have been a constant in my life for years. One vivid memory is from ninth grade when a friend embarrassed my sister in the cinema by calling her “fat”. In university, this pattern continued with my uncle’s frequent questioning about my diet and progress in losing weight. As a former therapist, I guided clients on body image and coping with hurtful comments, advising them to set boundaries with well-meaning but critical relatives. As for myself, I've always had to avoid questions about my body, while recognizing the natural curiosity that arises when we notice our friends’ bodies experiencing noticeable changes. It's human nature to compare ourselves to our peers. With more weight-related ads all over bus shelters, TV and your social media feed, it's hard not to feel the impact. But is commenting on others' weight loss ever appropriate? However well-intentioned, remarks about weight loss can be quite hurtful, says clinical psychologist Elizabeth Fedrick. Even if curiosity gets the better of you, it’s not necessary or acceptable to mention a friend’s weight gain or loss. “We often think we’re being supportive, but in reality, saying ‘You lost weight — you look great’ actually implies that they didn’t before, or that they need to be a certain weight to look great,” says Fedrick. Such remarks can be uncomfortable and fatphobic. Fatphobia extends beyond harmful comments; it’s also present in subtle clothing suggestions and judgments over dessert. This prejudice links our sense of self-worth closely to thinness, falsely associating it with health. To address this issue, we must value all bodies, reject food-shaming, and promote body positivity by accepting ourselves at any weight or size. “Praise for appearance changes isn’t always welcome,” says Fedrick, “Instead, showing understanding and asking open questions”. She cautions against assuming weight loss equals good health, as it can sometimes indicate health issues or disordered eating. Fedrick says focusing on a person’s character or appearance isn’t effective support; rather, caring about their well-being as a whole person is key. 8. Why does the writer mention his uncle in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce his uncle to readers. B. To share his vivid memory about his uncle. C. To show his relatives’ concern for his weight. D. To make a comparison between classmates and relatives. 9. Which of the following is an example of Fatphobia? A. You are pretty just to be yourself. B. You look great in whatever clothes. C. I think you’d better not order that cake. D. I’m glad you’re making health a priority. 10. What does Fedrick think people should focus on according to the last paragraph? A. A person’s diet. B. A person’s well-being. C. A person’s characters. D. A person’s weight loss. 11. What is mainly discussed in the passage? A. The challenges of weight loss. B. The importance of body positivity. C. The impact of media on body image. D. The harm of weight-related comments. D According to the Global Maritime Wrecks Database, the ocean's bottom hosts over 250,000shipwrecks (沉船) , from 2,200BCE to today, but UNESCO believes there could be as many as three million, largely undiscovered. Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures. The Colombian government is working out the best way to raise the San Jose, an 18th-centurySpanish sailboat that sank within the country's waters, having invested $3.5 million in conservation. But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea. A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change. In the Mississippi delta, they track dangerous mudslides affecting oil facilities and pipelines. A sunken tanker near Louisiana moved 11km over 80 years due to mud. Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer-Kaiser says any man-made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures. Ocean currents, warming waters, and invasive species can be risks to shipwrecks. To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer-Kaiser says she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (保密协议) to study them. However, Meyer-Kaiser's research suggests that another activity could be causing much more damage: commercial fishing. In response, a pilot project called the Shipwreck Avoidance Program was launched, showing promising results. 12. What do some scientists probably agree with according to Paragraph 2? A. Underwater shipwrecks should also be valued. B. The San Jose sailboat is worth the investment. C Shipwrecks are more valuable than potential treasures. D. The Colombian government thinks little of shipwrecks. 13. What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A. The history of shipwrecks. B. The interaction with nature. C. The habitat for sea creatures. D. The significance of shipwrecks. 14. What has been done to protect shipwrecks? A. Removing invasive creatures. B. Stopping exploring shipwrecks. C. Agreeing to prevent further damage. D. Conducting the Shipwreck Avoidance Program. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Diversity of Shipwrecks B. Ocean's Hidden Museums C. Undiscovered Shipwrecks D. Insight into Wrecks Research 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。 The opening sentences of your essay are crucial; first impressions often matter. ____16____Think of how you skim a magazine, reading a paragraph or two of each article that looks promising. If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading. When writing your own introductory paragraph, assume you have limited words to attract your audience. Therefore, focus on making your initial lines especially interesting and well written. In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers. ____17____ The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline. Here is some advice to help you avoid common lead-in errors. Make sure your lead-in clearly presents your main point. _____18_____ To prevent a loose flow, use a bridging sentence or phrase between your lead-in and main point. Keep your lead-in brief. Long lead-ins in short essays often give the appearance of a tail wagging the dog. ____19____ Don’t make your introduction the biggest part of your essay. _____20_____ Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment. If you are writing about a particular piece of literature or art, identify the title of the work and its author or artist, using the full name in the first reference. A. But how can we write a good sentence? B. But other times, using a lead-in can help. C. You might think of your essay as a clear, connected whole. D. Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter. E. Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point. F. A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point. G. Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged. 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.

Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled. “Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry. “Thanks. It’s from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.” “So, about the newspapers ……” the editor paused. Henry’s smile faded. “We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV —— live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged. “Um, no! It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye. A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a notebook. First stop: No.26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics (漫画) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them?” “Maybe. I’ll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook. He stopped at No. 27. Mrs. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.” “Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but …… Know any neighbor with experience?” Mr. Simon was at No.28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.” As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter (简报) for the neighborhood. But how would he print it? He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine (滚筒油印机), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work?” she asked. 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。 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter.. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABACC 6-10 CCACB 11-15 CBBAA 16-20 BACAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 宁波市 2023 学年第二学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 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. 1.

In her book, Wallen reflects on her complex childhood, moving from Belize to London and growing up in Tottenham with an uncle and aunt while her parents lived in New York. Despite feeling deserted and rejected, music became her comfort, “The moment I began learning the piano was magical. The piano served as my window into the world of music and my composing table, transporting me to new places.” Wallen’s music often addresses political themes, such as Mighty River and her opera YES. She believes in telling stories that haven’t been explored enough, especially from personal perspectives. However, she acknowledges that being a Black artist requires more personal, cultural, and historical consideration than White artists. There is still much progress to be made. Wallen challenges the classical music norm, advocating for composers to embrace their unique backgrounds. She encourages her non-Western students to use their heritage into their work, opposing the need to follow traditional styles. 4. What would help Wallen to get rid of music for a while? A. Preparing dishes. B. Going for a walk. C. Thinking about chores. D. Doing some wash up. 5. According to the underlined part, Wallen’s re-imagining of Jerusalem . A. received mixed review s from critics. B. caused a minor stir among concertgoers. C. became a hit and attracted a lot of attention. D. was an unexpected addition to the concert program. 6. What is the focus of Becoming a Composer? A. The shaping of Wallen’s personality. B. The complex childhood and growth. C. The journey to musical composition. D. The magical piano and composing table. 7. What does Wallen think of composing as a Black artist? A. Challenging. B. Annoying. C. Comforting. D. Amusing. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作曲家Errollyn Wallen对于音乐创作的一些看法和成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““Music is always on my mind, even when I’m doing something else. But with dishwashing, I tidy up and escape occasionally,” says the composer.(这名作曲家说：“音乐总是在我的脑海里，即使我在做别的事情。但洗碗的时候，我会整理一下，偶尔会逃离一下。”)”可知，洗碗能帮助沃伦暂时摆脱音乐。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Wallen’s passion for music shines through her impressive works and awards. Her music, both instinctive and emotionally expressive, shows great technical skill. With an Ivor Novello Award, 22 operas, and numerous other compositions, she graced events like the 2012Paralympics and the Queen’s anniversaries with her music. Her re-imagining of Jerusalem took the BBC Last Night of the Concerts by storm in 2020. Composing for her is as natural as breathing.(沃伦对音乐的热情在她令人印象深刻的作品和奖项中闪耀。她的音乐，既有本能又有情感表达，显示出高超的技巧。凭借伊沃·诺韦洛奖，22部歌剧和众多其他作品，她的音乐为2012年残奥会和女王纪念日等活动增添了光彩。她对耶路撒冷的重新想象在2020年的BBC《音乐会的最后一夜》中掀起了风暴。为她作曲就像呼吸一样自然)”可知，瓦伦对耶路撒冷的重新想象成为一个热门，吸引了很多关注。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, she completed a memoir Becoming a Composer, reflecting on her musical journey, creative process, and the challenges of composing for a living.(去年，她完成了回忆录《成为作曲家》，反映了她的音乐之旅、创作过程以及为谋生而作曲的挑战)”可知，《成为作曲家》的主旨是音乐创作之旅。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, she acknowledges that being a Black artist requires more personal, cultural, and historical consideration than White artists. There is still much progress to be made.(然而，她承认，作为一名黑人艺术家，比白人艺术家需要更多的个人、文化和历史考虑。仍有许多进展有待取得)”可推知，作为一名黑人艺术家，沃伦认为作曲是有挑战性的。故选A。 C Fat-shaming comments and weight-loss advice from classmates and relatives have been a constant in my life for years. One vivid memory is from ninth grade when a friend embarrassed my sister in the cinema by calling her “fat”. In university, this pattern continued with my uncle’s frequent questioning about my diet and progress in losing weight. As a former therapist, I guided clients on body image and coping with hurtful comments, advising them to set boundaries with well-meaning but critical relatives. As for myself, I've always had to avoid questions about my body, while recognizing the natural curiosity that arises when we notice our friends’ bodies experiencing noticeable changes. It's human nature to compare ourselves to our peers. With more weight-related ads all over bus shelters, TV and your social media feed, it's hard not to feel the impact. But is commenting on others' weight loss ever appropriate? However well-intentioned, remarks about weight loss can be quite hurtful, says clinical psychologist Elizabeth Fedrick. Even if curiosity gets the better of you, it’s not necessary or acceptable to mention a friend’s weight gain or loss. “We often think we’re being supportive, but in reality, saying ‘You lost weight — you look great’ actually implies that they didn’t before, or that they need to be a certain weight to look great,” says Fedrick. Such remarks can be uncomfortable and fatphobic. Fatphobia extends beyond harmful comments; it’s also present in subtle clothing suggestions and judgments over dessert. This prejudice links our sense of self-worth closely to thinness, falsely associating it with health. To address this issue, we must value all bodies, reject food-shaming, and promote body positivity by accepting ourselves at any weight or size. “Praise for appearance changes isn’t always welcome,” says Fedrick, “Instead, showing understanding and asking open questions”. She cautions against assuming weight loss equals good health, as it can sometimes indicate health issues or disordered eating. Fedrick says focusing on a person’s character or appearance isn’t effective support; rather, caring about their well-being as a whole person is key. 8. Why does the writer mention his uncle in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce his uncle to readers. B. To share his vivid memory about his uncle. C. To show his relatives’ concern for his weight. D. To make a comparison between classmates and relatives. 9. Which of the following is an example of Fatphobia? A. You are pretty just to be yourself. B. You look great in whatever clothes. C. I think you’d better not order that cake. D. I’m glad you’re making health a priority. 10. What does Fedrick think people should focus on according to the last paragraph? A. A person’s diet. B. A person’s well-being. C. A person’s characters. D. A person’s weight loss. 11. What is mainly discussed in the passage? A. The challenges of weight loss. B. The importance of body positivity. C. The impact of media on body image. D. The harm of weight-related comments. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论和批评了关于体重和外貌的负面评论和偏见，特别是指出了这种偏见对个人自尊心和心理健康的负面影响。文章通过作者的个人经历以及临床心理学家Elizabeth Fedrick的观点，强调了不要基于体重和外貌来评价他人，而应重视个体的整体福祉和内在价值。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Fat-shaming comments and weight-loss advice from classmates and relatives have been a constant in my life for years. One vivid memory is from ninth grade when a friend embarrassed my sister in the cinema by calling her “fat”. In university, this pattern continued with my uncle’s frequent questioning about my diet and progress in losing weight.(多年来，来自同学和亲戚的羞辱肥胖的评论和减肥建议一直在我的生活中不断出现。一个生动的记忆是九年级的时候，一个朋友在电影院叫我妹妹“胖”，让她很难堪。在大学里，这种模式继续着，我叔叔经常问我的饮食和减肥的进展。)”可推知，作者在第一段提到叔叔是为了展示亲戚对自己体重的关心。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Fatphobia extends beyond harmful comments; it’s also present in subtle clothing suggestions and judgments over dessert.(恐胖症不仅仅局限于有害的评论；它也存在于微妙的着装建议和对甜点的判断中。)”可知，“我想你最好不要点那个蛋糕。”是肥胖恐惧症的例子。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fedrick says focusing on a person’s character or appearance isn’t effective support; rather, caring about their well-being as a whole person is key.(费德里克说，专注于一个人的性格或外表并不是有效的支持；相反，关心他们作为一个整体的健康才是关键。)”可知，Fedrick认为人们应该关注一个人的健康。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讨论和批评了关于体重和外貌的负面评论和偏见，特别是指出了这种偏见对个人自尊心和心理健康的负面影响。文章通过作者的个人经历以及临床心理学家Elizabeth Fedrick的观点，强调了不要基于体重和外貌来评价他人，而应重视个体的整体福祉和内在价值。由此可知，文章主要讨论了与体重有关的评论的危害。故选D。 D According to the Global Maritime Wrecks Database, the ocean's bottom hosts over 250,000shipwrecks (沉船) , from 2,200BCE to today, but UNESCO believes there could be as many as three million, largely undiscovered. Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures. The Colombian government is working out the best way to raise the San Jose, an 18th-centurySpanish sailboat that sank within the country's waters, having invested $3.5 million in conservation. But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea. A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change. In the Mississippi delta, they track dangerous mudslides affecting oil facilities and pipelines. A sunken tanker near Louisiana moved 11km over 80 years due to mud. Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer-Kaiser says any man-made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures. Ocean currents, warming waters, and invasive species can be risks to shipwrecks. To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer-Kaiser says she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (保密协议) to study them. However, Meyer-Kaiser's research suggests that another activity could be causing much more damage: commercial fishing. In response, a pilot project called the Shipwreck Avoidance Program was launched, showing promising results. 12. What do some scientists probably agree with according to Paragraph 2? A. Underwater shipwrecks should also be valued. B. The San Jose sailboat is worth the investment. C. Shipwrecks are more valuable than potential treasures. D The Colombian government thinks little of shipwrecks. 13. What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A. The history of shipwrecks. B. The interaction with nature. C. The habitat for sea creatures. D. The significance of shipwrecks. 14. What has been done to protect shipwrecks? A. Removing invasive creatures. B. Stopping exploring shipwrecks. C. Agreeing to prevent further damage. D. Conducting the Shipwreck Avoidance Program. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Diversity of Shipwrecks B. Ocean's Hidden Museums C. Undiscovered Shipwrecks D. Insight into Wrecks Research 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。文章主要介绍了在希腊和土耳其之间的爱琴海，考古学家发现了至少58艘沉船，沉船上装满了古代物品，阐述了沉船的价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea.( 但一些科学家认为，留在海底的沉船残骸同样有价值。)”可知，科学家认为水下沉船也应该受到重视。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的“A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change.(沉船承载着历史，受到自然的影响，成为海洋的一部分。它就像一件与周围环境互动的博物馆藏品。沉船帮助我们了解海洋和海岸是如何变化的。)”和“Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer-Kaiser says any man-made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures.(沉船也显示了海洋生物如何生活在新的水下结构周围。它们为海洋动物创造了家园，其中一些比天然珊瑚礁更多样化。Meyer-Kaiser说，水中的任何人造物体都可以成为栖息地，尽管有些可能不适合海洋生物。)”可知，本段集中在沉船的重要性上。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第一段“To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer-Kaiser says she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (保密协议) to study them.(为了防止未经授权的勘探，200多艘沉船的位置基本上是保密的。迈耶-凯泽说，她必须签署一份保密协议才能研究它们。)”可知，为了保护沉船必须签署保密协议。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures.( 沉船提供了历史见解、文物、可重复使用的金属和潜在的宝藏。)”和“But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea.( 但一些科学家认为,当在海底留下的时候,沉船就像有价值的一样。)”并通读全文可知，本文讲述了沉船的价值，提供了历史见解、文物、可重复使用的金属和潜在的宝藏，如同海洋里隐藏的博物馆，因此推断B项“海洋隐藏的博物馆”为最佳标题。故选B。 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。 The opening sentences of your essay are crucial; first impressions often matter. ____16____Think of how you skim a magazine, reading a paragraph or two of each article that looks promising. If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading. When writing your own introductory paragraph, assume you have limited words to attract your audience. Therefore, focus on making your initial lines especially interesting and well written. In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers. ____17____ The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline. Here is some advice to help you avoid common lead-in errors. Make sure your lead-in clearly presents your main point. _____18_____ To prevent a loose flow, use a bridging sentence or phrase between your lead-in and main point. Keep your lead-in brief. Long lead-ins in short essays often give the appearance of a tail wagging the dog. ____19____ Don’t make your introduction the biggest part of your essay. _____20_____ Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment. If you are writing about a particular piece of literature or art, identify the title of the work and its author or artist, using the full name in the first reference. A. But how can we write a good sentence? B. But other times, using a lead-in can help. C. You might think of your essay as a clear, connected whole. D. Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter. E. Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point. F. A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point. G. Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。详细解释了如何撰写引人入胜的文章开头，给出了相关的建议，并讨论了常见的错误和如何避免它们。 【16题详解】 根据前文“The opening sentences of your essay are crucial; first impressions often matter.(你的文章开头的句子是至关重要的；第一印象通常很重要)”以及后文“Think of how you skim a magazine, reading a paragraph or two of each article that looks promising. If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading.(想想你是如何浏览一本杂志的，读一到两段看起来很有希望的文章。如果你对前几段感兴趣，你会继续读下去)”可知，前文讲述开头句很重要，后文讲述一般只读一到两段，所以空处应是文章开头的重要性，所以G项“Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged.(然后，你的文章的开头必须吸引读者的注意力，并让他们保持参与)”符合语境，承接上文，引出下文。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers.(在一些文章中，一个强有力的重点就可以吸引读者)”以及后文“The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline.(导语有三个主要目的：吸引读者的注意力，介绍文章的主题和语气，为论文和文章大纲铺平道路)”可知，前文在讲述一个强有力的重点就可以吸引读者，后文介绍导语，所以空处应是过渡句，过渡到导语上来，B项“But other times, using a lead-in can help.(但其他时候，使用导语会有所帮助)”符合语境，和前文构成转折关系，同时引出下文。故选B项。 【18题详解】 后文“The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline.(为了防止不连贯，在导语和主旨之间使用一个衔接句子或短语)”提出了一个解决方法，所以空处应是提出了一个问题，F项“A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point.(一个常见的问题是开头很有趣，但与要点没有明确的联系)”符合文意，后文是对此问题的解决方法。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Keep your lead-in brief.(保持你的导语简短)”可知，本段主题是让导语要简短，所以E项“Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point.(使用一个简短的，引人入胜的介绍来建立你的主要观点)”符合本段主题，其中brief为同词复现。故选E项。 【20题详解】 空格处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment. If you are writing about a particular piece of literature or art, identify the title of the work and its author or artist, using the full name in the first reference.(即使你知道你的读者知道你的任务，也要找出相关的事实。如果你写的是一篇特定的文学或艺术作品，要标明作品的标题和作者或艺术家，在第一个参考文献中使用全名)”可知，本段主要讲述了，主题要尽可能详细，所以D项“Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter.(不要以为你的读者已经知道你的主题)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 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.

Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled. “Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry. “Thanks. It’s from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.” “So, about the newspapers ……” the editor paused. Henry’s smile faded. “We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV —— live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged. “Um, no! It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye. A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a notebook. First stop: No.26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics (漫画) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them?” “Maybe. I’ll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook. He stopped at No. 27. Mrs. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.” “Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but …… Know any neighbor with experience?” Mr. Simon was at No.28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.” As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter (简报) for the neighborhood. But how would he print it? He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine (滚筒油印机), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work?” she asked. 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。 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter.. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. Customers cheered Henry’s idea. Besides Mrs. Burke who longed for a babysitter and Mr. Simon who desired a large audience for his concert, Henry also collected six other neighbors appealing and needs, including Mr Grady who yearned for his children’s coming back for a short reunion. Information in hand, Henry knocked at Mr. Trotta’s door and pleaded for his support in publishing his first Oak Street News, who approved almost immediately. Soon, Henry’s tabloid was in circulation, which he cheerfully delivered from door to door as before. The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter. Neigh bons applauded the idea of sharing their needs in a communal newspaper, which really addressed their immediate concern in a practical and efficient way. As Mrs Burke successfully found an ideal babysitter, Mr Simon secured a large following for his concert and Mr Grady who happily reunited with his kids. Henry realized. from his deep heart, that The Gazette was far from gone in this TV era, but transformed into Oak Street News that connected, bonded and tied the Oak neighbors in a cory fabric. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了亨利是一个送报工，但是随着电视的流行，报纸公司快要关门了。这时亨利想到了创办第一份《橡树街新闻》报纸，来刊登邻居们的需求。不久，亨利的小报开始发行，他像以前一样兴高采烈地挨家挨户地送报纸。邻居们对在社区报纸上分享他们的需求的想法表示欢迎，这确实以一种实用而有效的方式解决了他们最关心的问题。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““完美”，亨利有信心执行他的计划。”可知，第一段可描写亨利创办《橡树街新闻》报纸，来刊登邻居们的需求。 ②由第二段首句内容“枫树街的邻居们对这份时事通讯感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写《橡树街新闻》报纸带来的良好影响。 2. 续写线索：有信心执行计划——亨利收集信息——出版《橡树街新闻》报纸——送报纸——邻居的需求得到解决——邻居联系在一起。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect/gather ②渴望：yearn for/long for ③支持：approve/be in favor of 情绪类 ①高兴地：cheerfully/gladly ②高效的：efficient/effective 【点睛】[高分句型1] Besides Mrs. Burke who longed for a babysitter and Mr. Simon who desired a large audience for his concert, Henry also collected six other neighbors appealing and needs, including Mr Grady who yearned for his children’s coming back for a short reunion.
