B In 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day. My sister, brother, and I would sing our favourite songs for them. The recording was to be kept a secret from our parents. I found a local studio, Dunford Recordings, not too far from where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cost of making a record. To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her to accompany us on the piano. We couldn’t practise with her for fear of being found out, so I got my sister and brother together and we worked out a routine. I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, to take us to the studio at the appointed time. We sang our first two songs a couple of times so they could select the best version, but by the time we got to the third song we were rather tired, so only recorded it once. Outside the studio door, I had been holding the record very carefully but my sister snatched it from me and it rolled out of its jacket, down the stairs, bouncing onto the pavement and then onto the road. Gasp! Horror! Mercifully, it was undamaged. The day came and we excitedly gave our precious present to our parents. They were surprised indeed. However, it never occurred to me that my parents bought a brand-new radiogram to play the record on. My parents had been secretly warned by my aunt about our surprise, and unknown to us, they were downstairs in the appliance shop buying the radiogram while we were upstairs recording. They actually saw the record roll out onto the street. Our recording has become a wonderful memory of the past. 24. Why did the author want to record an album at age 12? A. To celebrate their parents’ wedding day. B. To make money to support his family. C. To found a local studio to play music. D. To satisfy his curiosity about radiogram. 25. How did the author get the money to pay for the recording? A. He got his sister and brother to earn money. B. He borrowed money from a family friend. C. He earned the money needed on his own. D. He raised some money with his aunty Mae. 26. What were their parents doing when the record was being made in the studio? A. They were listening next to the door. B. They were watching the record rolling. C. They were playing in the appliance shop. D. They were buying the radiogram downstairs. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Loving and considerate. C. Hardworking and responsible. D. Talented and fashionable. C In 2012, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like the entrance to only fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging. However, many years later, I became limited to it. Recent reports show that I’m not alone. According to a study, an average American spends five hours a day on smart devices (装置) and about 2.5 of these hours are spent on messaging, social media and entertainment apps.  It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. I fell asleep to my phone every night and woke to it each morning. I checked the weather app every morning before I chose how to dress for the day. I used it to help me find my way through a city. I checked my email box every time I picked my phone up. Just like with any addiction, my phone dependency began to influence my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare at a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across a dinner table and share in the joys of experiencing a concert. Now, I move through life with more goals and intention. I’ve cut back on my time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focus my efforts on being as present as possible. Truly training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere. I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate (再度评估) how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time is problematic there’s no harm in carefully giving your current practices some thought. 28. What does the author mean by saying “I’m not alone” in Paragraph 2? A. He takes his iPhone for company. B. He has many friends around him. C. There’re many Americans like him. D. Blogging brings him great pleasure. 29. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The author was quite confused about some apps. B. The author became hopelessly addicted to his iPhone. C. The author was afraid of spending time on his iPhone. D. The author never dressed himself according to the weather. 30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. Why the author’s work efficiency dropped. B. Why the author finally had phone dependency. C. How the author bravely corrected his mistakes. D. How the author’s life was negatively affected. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Persuade people to live a no-phone life. B. Advise people to use their phones reasonably. C. Inspire people to reconsider their roles in life. D. Encourage people to spare their time for work. D It is reported that a growing number of species are in immediate danger of extinction due to human activities. Therefore, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in various environments, leading to environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring the population of endangered species to slow down the process of extinction. For this research, the satellite WorldView-3 used high-quality pictures to monitor African elephants moving through forests and grasslands. The automated (自动化) system counted the animals as exactly as humans. The new surveying technique (技术), created by Dr. Isupova with some other scientists, allows large areas of land to be scanned in minutes, offering a better method for human observers to count every single animal from low-flying airplanes. As it flies across the land, a satellite can collect over 5,000 km2 of imagery every few minutes, avoiding double counting. The population of African elephants has decreased greatly over the past century, mainly due to illegal hunting and the destruction of habitats. With only 40,000-50,000 elephants left in the wild, the species is classified as endangered. “Correct monitoring is important if we’re to save the species,” said Dr. Isupova. “We need to know where the animals are and how many animals there are.” This study was not the first to use satellite pictures to monitor species, but it was the first to reliably monitor animals moving through a complex (复杂的) environment — that is, an environment that includes areas of open grasslands, woodlands and so on. “This type of work has been done before with whales, but of course the ocean is all blue, so counting is a lot less challenging,” said Dr. Isupova. “As you can imagine, a complex environment makes it much harder to identify animals.” The researchers believe their work shows the benefits of technology that supports environmentalists in protecting biodiversity and slowing the progress of the mass extinction. 32. Why did the scientists create satellite cameras? A. To monitor illegal hunting. B. To help the elephants out of forests. C. To observe the living conditions of wild animals. D. To correctly count animals in complex environments. 33. What can we learn about the new surveying technique? A. It’s only used on land. B. Its effect remains to be seen. C. It counts animals’ number very efficiently. D. It will take a while to popularize the technique. 34. What is the condition of African elephants? A. They are hard to count. B. Their number is rapidly decreasing. C. They are in danger due to the loss of habitat. D. Their population is rising due to satellite cameras’ help. 35. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate. B. Satellite cameras move around the planet. C. Counting endangered species’ population is hard work. D. Scientists used satellite cameras to monitor and preserve endangered species. 第二节 七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分） The Silk Road was a historical network of trade routes that connected China and the Mediterranean Sea, allowing cultural and economic interaction between the East and the West.

At first, many residents, including me, felt hopeless. It seemed like the end of the world. Faced with confusion, uncertainly, loss and homelessness, we looked for any light to lead us out of the darkness. The home of my parents, who were in their eighties, was severely damaged. Their roof was blown away, and the roof from a nearby school crashed into the front of their house. In seconds, the house they had lived in for years became impossible to live in. As soon as my parents safely moved, I tried to determine if any of their remaining possessions could be saved. Regrettably, I discovered their roof, before departing for parts unknown, had dropped massive amounts of fiberglass insulation. This pink material made everything appear to be coated in cotton candy, but the glass fibers within it had ruined most of their furniture and clothing. My parents had hoped, however, that I might be able to save some of their books and pictures. Unfortunately, every time I tried to remove a photo album from a drawer of a book from a shelf, the non - stop rain wet what I was hying to protect. Between the rain and the glass fibers, it all seemed hopeless. Trying to fight off hopelessness, I took a minute to stand in what was left of my parents' bedroom. When I looked up through their non-existent proof, I saw gray clouds floating above me, and suddenly everything seemed so strange. Rain coated my upturned face, flooded my eyes, and flowed into my mouth. Overwhelmed, I felt like I was drowning, I needed fresh air, so I ran outside. Standing on my parents' front yard in the rain, I could breathe better but I still had an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. 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。 Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a thin, elderly man appeared at my side. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched him through the rain until I remembered I was supposed to be saving my parents' prized possessions. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 临川十六中2023-2024学年度高一下期中考试 英语试卷 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第I卷 第一部分 听力（共两小节，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When does the store close in the evening?

Why was Alfred Adler poor at arithmetic as a boy? A. He was weak in thinking. B. He lost his self-confidence. C. His parents expected too much of him. 20. Which of the following is the most important factor to Adler’s success? A. Confidence and determination. B. Spirit and experience. C. Interest and self-respect. 【答案】17. C 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy, he got off to a poor start. In arithmetic, his teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic. And told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too develop the idea. Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic? He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day, Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have. And that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，共37.5） A Have you ever wished you could speak a foreign language without taking the classes?

My sister, brother, and I would sing our favourite songs for them. The recording was to be kept a secret from our parents. I found a local studio, Dunford Recordings, not too far from where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cost of making a record. To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her to accompany us on the piano. We couldn’t practise with her for fear of being found out, so I got my sister and brother together and we worked out a routine. I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, to take us to the studio at the appointed time. We sang our first two songs a couple of times so they could select the best version, but by the time we got to the third song we were rather tired, so only recorded it once. Outside the studio door, I had been holding the record very carefully but my sister snatched it from me and it rolled out of its jacket, down the stairs, bouncing onto the pavement and then onto the road. Gasp! Horror! Mercifully, it was undamaged. The day came and we excitedly gave our precious present to our parents. They were surprised indeed. However, it never occurred to me that my parents bought a brand-new radiogram to play the record on. My parents had been secretly warned by my aunt about our surprise, and unknown to us, they were downstairs in the appliance shop buying the radiogram while we were upstairs recording. They actually saw the record roll out onto the street. Our recording has become a wonderful memory of the past. 24. Why did the author want to record an album at age 12? A. To celebrate their parents’ wedding day. B. To make money to support his family. C. To found a local studio to play music. D. To satisfy his curiosity about radiogram. 25. How did the author get the money to pay for the recording? A. He got his sister and brother to earn money. B. He borrowed money from a family friend. C. He earned the money needed on his own. D. He raised some money with his aunty Mae. 26. What were their parents doing when the record was being made in the studio? A. They were listening next to the door. B. They were watching the record rolling. C. They were playing in the appliance shop. D. They were buying the radiogram downstairs. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Loving and considerate. C. Hardworking and responsible. D. Talented and fashionable. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者及弟弟妹妹三人为了庆祝父母结婚纪念日悄悄录制唱片的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day.(在1995年，我12岁那年，我想要为父母的结婚纪念日录制一个唱片送给他们。)”可知，为了庆祝父母的结婚纪念日，作者和弟弟妹妹准备一起录制唱片送给他们。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays.(为了支付唱片，我节省下在假期给Aunty Mae帮忙赚来的钱。)”可知，录制唱片的费用是作者在假期给Aunty Mae帮忙赚来的钱。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“they were downstairs in the appliance shop buying the radiogram while we were upstairs recording(他们在楼下购买唱片机，而我们就在楼上录制唱片。)”可知，当作者和弟弟妹妹在楼上录音棚录制唱片的时候，他们的父母在楼下购买可以播放唱片的机子。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day.(在1995年，我12岁那年，我想要为父母的结婚纪念日录制一个唱片送给他们。)”可知，从作者提出为父母录制唱片来庆祝父母的结婚纪念日可以看出，作者很有爱心且考虑周到。故选B。 C In 2012, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like the entrance to only fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging. However, many years later, I became limited to it. Recent reports show that I’m not alone. According to a study, an average American spends five hours a day on smart devices (装置) and about 2.5 of these hours are spent on messaging, social media and entertainment apps.  It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. I fell asleep to my phone every night and woke to it each morning. I checked the weather app every morning before I chose how to dress for the day. I used it to help me find my way through a city. I checked my email box every time I picked my phone up. Just like with any addiction, my phone dependency began to influence my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare at a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across a dinner table and share in the joys of experiencing a concert. Now, I move through life with more goals and intention. I’ve cut back on my time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focus my efforts on being as present as possible. Truly training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere. I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate (再度评估) how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time is problematic, there’s no harm in carefully giving your current practices some thought. 28. What does the author mean by saying “I’m not alone” in Paragraph 2? A. He takes his iPhone for company. B He has many friends around him. C. There’re many Americans like him. D. Blogging brings him great pleasure. 29. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The author was quite confused about some apps. B. The author became hopelessly addicted to his iPhone. C. The author was afraid of spending time on his iPhone. D. The author never dressed himself according to the weather. 30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. Why the author’s work efficiency dropped. B. Why the author finally had phone dependency. C. How the author bravely corrected his mistakes. D. How the author’s life was negatively affected. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Persuade people to live a no-phone life. B. Advise people to use their phones reasonably. C. Inspire people to reconsider their roles in life. D. Encourage people to spare their time for work. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者是如何对智能手机上瘾，智能手机如何影响了自己的生活，以及作者现在戒掉手机瘾过上了正常的生活的经历。告诫读者重新审视一下自己使用手机的习惯，重新评估一下它在生活中扮演的角色。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“According to a study, the average American spends five hours a day on smart devices (装置) and about 2.5 of those hours are spent on social, messaging, media and entertainment apps.”可知，根据一项研究，美国人平均每天花5个小时在智能设备上，其中大约2.5个小时花在社交、信息、媒体和娱乐应用上。由此判断出作者在第二段通过下划线说“我不是一个人”的意思是有很多像他一样的美国人。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into a dependency...”可知， 作者对手机产生了依赖，在后面句子中详细地从睡眠、天气、导行、更新信息这几个方面说明作者无助地深陷智能手机之中。所以从第3段可知，作者对他的手机上瘾了。故选B项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end.” 可知，和家人在一起的时候，我会盯着手机屏幕看，却不和我爱的人交流。在工作中，我的工作效率性在下降。然后，四年的恋爱关系宣告结束。所以第4段主要关注作者的生活受到了怎样的负面影响。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life.”可知，我希望你重新审视一下自己使用手机的习惯，重新评估一下它在你生活中扮演的角色。由此判断出，作者在最后一段建议人们合理使用手机。故选B项。 D It is reported that a growing number of species are in immediate danger of extinction due to human activities. Therefore, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in various environments, leading to environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring the population of endangered species to slow down the process of extinction. For this research, the satellite WorldView-3 used high-quality pictures to monitor African elephants moving through forests and grasslands. The automated (自动化的) system counted the animals as exactly as humans. The new surveying technique (技术), created by Dr. Isupova with some other scientists, allows large areas of land to be scanned in minutes, offering a better method for human observers to count every single animal from low-flying airplanes. As it flies across the land, a satellite can collect over 5,000 km2 of imagery every few minutes, avoiding double counting. The population of African elephants has decreased greatly over the past century, mainly due to illegal hunting and the destruction of habitats. With only 40,000-50,000 elephants left in the wild, the species is classified as endangered. “Correct monitoring is important if we’re to save the species,” said Dr. Isupova. “We need to know where the animals are and how many animals there are.” This study was not the first to use satellite pictures to monitor species, but it was the first to reliably monitor animals moving through a complex (复杂的) environment — that is, an environment that includes areas of open grasslands, woodlands and so on. “This type of work has been done before with whales, but of course the ocean is all blue, so counting is a lot less challenging,” said Dr. Isupova. “As you can imagine, a complex environment makes it much harder to identify animals.” The researchers believe their work shows the benefits of technology that supports environmentalists in protecting biodiversity and slowing the progress of the mass extinction. 32. Why did the scientists create satellite cameras? A. To monitor illegal hunting. B. To help the elephants out of forests. C. To observe the living conditions of wild animals. D. To correctly count animals in complex environments. 33. What can we learn about the new surveying technique? A. It’s only used on land. B. Its effect remains to be seen. C. It counts animals’ number very efficiently. D. It will take a while to popularize the technique. 34. What is the condition of African elephants? A. They are hard to count. B. Their number is rapidly decreasing. C. They are in danger due to the loss of habitat. D. Their population is rising due to satellite cameras’ help. 35. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate. B. Satellite cameras move around the planet. C. Counting endangered species’ population is hard work. D. Scientists used satellite cameras to monitor and preserve endangered species. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家利用卫星相机技术来监测濒危物种，特别是非洲象的数量，以应对人类活动导致的物种灭绝问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“It is reported that a growing number of species are in immediate danger of extinction due to human activities. Therefore, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in various environments, leading to environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring the population of endangered species to slow down the process of extinction. (据报道，由于人类活动，越来越多的物种正面临灭绝的危险。因此，科学家们已经成功地利用卫星摄像机对各种环境中的动物进行了计数，这使环保主义者在监测濒危物种数量以减缓灭绝进程方面迈出了重要的一步)”可知，科学家创造卫星相机的目的是为了在复杂环境中正确统计动物数量，以保护濒危物种。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“The automated (自动化的) system counted the animals as exactly as humans. The new surveying technique (技术), created by Dr. Isupova with some other scientists, allows large areas of land to be scanned in minutes, offering a better method for human observers to count every single animal from low-flying airplanes. As it flies across the land, a satellite can collect over 5,000 km2 of imagery every few minutes, avoiding double counting. (自动系统对动物的计数和对人的计数一样精确。这项新的测量技术是由伊苏波娃博士和其他一些科学家共同开发的，它可以在几分钟内扫描大片土地，为人类观察员提供了一种更好的方法，可以从低空飞行的飞机上计算每一只动物的数量。当卫星飞越陆地时，每隔几分钟就可以收集超过5000平方公里的图像，避免重复计算)”可推知，这项新技术可以非常高效地计算动物的数量。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“The population of African elephants has decreased greatly over the past century, mainly due to illegal hunting and the destruction of habitats (在过去的一个世纪里，非洲象的数量大大减少，主要是由于非法狩猎和栖息地的破坏)”可知，非洲象由于非法狩猎和栖息地破坏，数量急剧减少。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“It is reported that a growing number of species are in immediate danger of extinction due to human activities. Therefore, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in various environments, leading to environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring the population of endangered species to slow down the process of extinction. (据报道，由于人类活动，越来越多的物种正面临灭绝的危险。因此，科学家们已经成功地利用卫星摄像机对各种环境中的动物进行了计数，这使环保主义者在监测濒危物种数量以减缓灭绝进程方面迈出了重要的一步)”可知，整篇文章主要讲述了科学家如何利用卫星相机来监测野生动物，以便更有效地保护它们和减缓物种灭绝的速度。故选D。 第二节 七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分） The Silk Road was a historical network of trade routes that connected China and the Mediterranean Sea, allowing cultural and economic interaction between the East and the West. Begun in the 2nd Century B C” the Silk Road carried goods, ideas, and even illness for thousands of miles between great civilizations for more than a thousand years. ___36___ It was the creation of Germany’s Ferdinand von Richthofen, who traveled to China several times in the second half of the 19th Century. China’s powerful Han Dynasty began expanding its trade routes towards the West in the years around 100 B.C. ___37___ Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria.

Romans brought delicately carved pottery (陶器）and jewelry to China. ___39___ Merchants carried shipments from major center, and then others carried the foods farther on the route. Many merchants traveled in groups, called carvans (商队). Many carvans and individual merchants traveled with bodyguards because theft along the routes was not uncommon. Several cities along the Silk Road became major trading centers. Some of the more famous of these were Alexandria, Karakorum, Antioch, Constantinople, and Persepolis. Local taxes placed on goods traveling along the route were quite common. ___40___ A. The name, however, is a modem idea. B. Diseases also spread along the Silk Road. C. It sent silk and other goods to other civilizations. D. Merchants would prepare some supplies in advance. E. Goods did not travel with the same person all along the route. F.

F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了丝绸之路的历史、发展及其对东西方文明的影响。 【36题详解】 上文说丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪，一千多年来，伟大文明之间的货物和思想都通过丝绸之路传输，下文又说这个称呼是由德国人Ferdinand von Richthofen发明的，19世纪中叶他曾多次访问中国，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，故A项（然而，这个名字是一个现代的概念）符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据本空后的“Some shipments made it through to Europe and to northern and eastern Africa, through the port of Alexandria.”可知，一些货物通过亚历山大港送往欧洲、东非和北非，此处是说货物通过丝绸之路运送到别的地方，故C项（它把丝绸和其他商品送到其他文明）符合语境。 38题详解】 上文说沿着丝绸之路运送的不只是丝绸，下文又说中国商人带来了精致的瓷盘和薄而耐用的纸币，罗马人把雕刻精美的陶器和朱宝带到中国，此处是说丝绸之路还运送除了丝绸以外的东西，故G项（还有很多别的东西，从西到东，从东到西，都在这条路上运输）符合语境。 【39题详解】 根据本空后的“Merchants carried shipments from major center, and then others carried the foods farther on the route.”可知，商人们从主要的运输中心运送货物，然后其他人把货物运送到更远的地方，故E项（货物并不是一路由一个人运送的）符合语境。 【40题详解】 根据本空前的“Local taxes placed on goods traveling along the route were quite common.可知，对丝绸之路上运输的货物征收地方税是很常见的，此处说的是征收地方税的影响，故F项（因此，由于成本高，许多货物只能走一部分路）符合语境。 【点睛】对过渡句的考查是七选五的常见考点，需要立足于文章语境，使文章的逻辑更通顺，因此对上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第1题，上文说丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪，一千多年来，伟大文明之间的货物和思想都通过丝绸之路传输，下文又说这个称呼是由德国人Ferdinand von Richthofen发明的，19世纪中叶他曾多次访问中国，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要对应上文内容，又要引出下文话题，虽然始于公元前2世纪，但是直到19世纪中叶才被正式命名为丝绸之路，故A项（然而，这个名字是一个现代的概念）符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识应用（共两小节，30分） 第一节 完形填空（本大题共1小题，共15.0分） “Leave a place better than you found it.” It’s a ____41____philosophy (人生哲学), but one that William Lindesay holds dear.

He was always the first to come and the last to leave. She was the first woman to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games. Women and children were the first to get into the lifeboats. 用来修饰的词是抽象名词时，常见的有：ability, chance, idea, fact, excuse, promise, answer, reply, attempt, belief, way, reason, moment, time 等。如： Do you have the ability to read and write English? I have a chance to go sight-seeing. 如第七小题，句意：最后一天通常是年轻人玩游戏的一种方式来表达他们对彼此的爱。名词way修饰用不定式做后置定语修饰，a way to do sth.“做某事的方式”。故填to express。 写作（共两节，共40分） 第一节 （15分） 66. 假定你是学生会主席李华。你校将举办一场校园文化艺术表演，想邀请你校外籍教师Ann先生则来观看并作评论。请你按照下而的内容用英语给他写一封电子邮件。 主题： Culture, Art and Our Campus 时间：5月31日上午8:30—11:30 地点：体育馆 内容：每班一个节目，歌曲、舞蹈、课本剧、故事、演讲等形式不限 联系人：李华（电话13613856789） 注意：1.词数：100左右（开头语和结束语已为你写好，不计入总数）。 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：评论comment；体育馆gym；课本剧textbook drama Dear Mrs. Ann, I’m glad to tell you good news that a school culture and art show will be held in our school. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Best wishes.

At first, many residents, including me, felt hopeless. It seemed like the end of the world. Faced with confusion, uncertainly, loss and homelessness, we looked for any light to lead us out of the darkness. The home of my parents, who were in their eighties, was severely damaged. Their roof was blown away, and the roof from a nearby school crashed into the front of their house. In seconds, the house they had lived in for years became impossible to live in. As soon as my parents safely moved, I tried to determine if any of their remaining possessions could be saved. Regrettably, I discovered their roof, before departing for parts unknown, had dropped massive amounts of fiberglass insulation. This pink material made everything appear to be coated in cotton candy, but the glass fibers within it had ruined most of their furniture and clothing. My parents had hoped, however, that I might be able to save some of their books and pictures. Unfortunately, every time I tried to remove a photo album from a drawer of a book from a shelf, the non - stop rain wet what I was hying to protect. Between the rain and the glass fibers, it all seemed hopeless. Trying to fight off hopelessness, I took a minute to stand in what was left of my parents' bedroom. When I looked up through their non-existent proof, I saw gray clouds floating above me, and suddenly everything seemed so strange. Rain coated my upturned face, flooded my eyes, and flowed into my mouth. Overwhelmed, I felt like I was drowning, I needed fresh air, so I ran outside. Standing on my parents' front yard in the rain, I could breathe better but I still had an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. 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。 Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a thin, elderly man appeared at my side. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched him through the rain until I remembered I was supposed to be saving my parents' prized possessions. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a thin, elderly man appeared at my side. Shocked, I took a step back, but he said in a comforting voice, “Everything is going to be alright.” He told me he heard about the disaster and came to help. Seeing everything inside was going to be ruined, he went through the rain toward the house, trying to get a cover over the house. He climbed up to the roof, pulled out a cutting tool to cut off pieces of rubbery-looking material. Working swiftly, he fastened these pieces to the remaining roof. Para 2: I watched him through the rain until I remembered I was supposed to be saving my parents' prized possessions. I went back inside and found some towels and plastic bags in a cupboard. Using the towels to dry off several photo albums and books, I placed these treasured items into the plastic bags for protection from the rain. Suddenly, I realized it was no longer raining in the house. Looking up, I saw rubbery-looking material covering the roof. He'd done it. I was so grateful for his help because now I could save more of my parents' cherished possessions. My parents were so grateful to have those precious memorials. The man was a light in the darkness. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者所在地方遭遇了严重的龙卷风，造成大量房屋被毁，很多人员受伤，作者感到很绝望。作者年迈的父母的房屋也被严重的破坏，不能居住。在父母安全转移后，作者回到父母房子处想找回一些有意义的东西。但是房子里的很多东西被破坏了。作者想拿回一些书和照片，但是雨水淋湿了他想要拿走的东西，作者感到了深深地绝望，然后他跑到了院子里开始保护父母留下的财产。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，不知从哪里冒出一个瘦弱的老人出现在我身边。”可知，第一段可描写这位老人安慰并且帮助了作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“我在雨中看着他，直到我想起我应该去保存我父母珍贵的财产。”可知，第二段可描写作者在老人帮助下想办法拿回并保护父母的东西，作者很感激这位老人给自己的帮助和希望。 2.续写线索：老人冒雨帮忙——作者回到房里——作者保护书和相册——老人盖住了屋顶——保护了更多东西——我们很感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：come to help /assist 尝试：try to do sth./ attempt to do sth. 放入：place sth. into/ put sth. into 情绪类 感谢：be grateful/ show one’s gratitude 吃惊：shocked /surprised 【点睛】[高分句型1]Seeing everything inside was going to be ruined, he went through the rain toward the house, trying to get a cover over the house.
