Every year, the World Health Assembly meets in Geneva in Switzerland to review WHO’s work, set new goals and assign new tasks. The day is celebrated annually on 7 April. World Book Day World Book Day was created on 23 April 1995 by UNESCO, as it is the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, the famous Spanish historian. Books have been educating and inspiring people for hundreds of years, and the best way to celebrate this day would be to find the time to do some reading. World Smile Day World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. The idea was coined and initiated by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from the US. He is known to have created the Smiley Face in 1963. The day is created for the spreading of simple joy and love to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or geographic location. World Earth Day World Earth Day is an annual event observed on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It serves as a reminder of the importance of taking action to preserve and protect our planet. Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 and is now celebrated in more than 190 countries worldwide. 1.

The star, whose Eras Tour broke box office records, follows the likes of Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg and Mark Uckerberg. The award goes to an event or person believed to have had the most influence on global events over the past year. Already a superstar before 2023, her career has reached new heights thanks to the Eras tour, which sees the singer perform a career-spanning 45-song set every night. Demand for tickets was so high that it crashed Ticketmaster’s website, causing a hearing into its business practices by the US Senate. After speaking out against Donald Trump and in favour of abortion rights, Swift hit a creative purple patch with the pandemic-era albums Folklore and Evermore. Showcasing a more organic indie-folk approach than the country-pop that made her famous, the records confirmed her status as generational songwriting talent. Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said the US pop icon was “the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story”, adding that Swift had “found a way to go beyond borders and be a source of light”. The Eras tour film became the biggest concert movie of all time, taking $249m at the global box office; Swift became the first living artist to have five albums in the US Top 10 simultaneously. She broke the record for the most number one albums by a woman in US chart history — 13 in total. Swift became the first songwriter to score seven Grammy nominations for song of the year. Boosted by her tour, Swift was named the most-streamed female artist in the history of Spotify and Apple Music. 4. what can we know from the second and third paragraphs? A. Swift’s career reached a certain height before 2023. B. There are 45 songs totally in the Eras tour. C. Swift was once in favour of Donald Trump. D. Her country-pop confirmed her songwriter status. 5. What does Sam Jacobs think of Taylor Swift? A. Rare and plain. B. Talented and dependent. C. Daring and stubborn. D. Shining and inspiring. 6. How many of her albums were in the US Top 10 at the same time? A. One. B. Four. C. Five. D. Ten. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A record-breaking Eras tour film B. An influential female music superstar C. A history-making album D. A far-reaching award C How steady you are on your feet can indicate how likely you are to live a longer, healthy life. The ability to remain upright and steady is something that we take for granted, until something goes wrong. The balance system is made up of lots of different sensory components, explains Nicola Harris, a health expert. Good balance depends on correct sensory information from your eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear. The most obvious benefit of good balance is that it helps prevent falls and therefore injuries, and simply makes daily activities easier and safer to perform. Unless you develop a balance disorder, the first time people become aware of balance issues is when they get older. Harris says that people with balance problems at her clinic often talk about the loss of the ability to look from side to side as they cross the road because they feel unsteady. “That is fundamentally because the balance system as a whole starts to get worn,” says Harris. Pilates, dance and tai chi are all good exercises to maintain good balance. “Other things that work your balance slightly differently, but again are really good, are ball games. Anything involving hand-eye coordination, such as tennis or table tennis,” says Harris. However, she warns against just doing strengthening exercises in the gym using machinery: “That’s not going to improve your balance.” Including tree weights and resistance bands into your workout will not only strengthen your bones and muscles, but your balance, too. 8. What does the underlined word “components” in paragraph 2 mean? A. personalities B. manners C. parts D. approaches 9. Which statement is true about a balance disorder? A. It can be easily found in our everyday life. B It results in more convenience to daily activities. C. It leads to people crossing the road more steadily. D. It is hard to be felt for the young if one doesn’t have any symptom. 10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. There is more than one exercise to improve one’s balance. B. Any kind of exercise will do good to maintaining one’s good balance. C. Doing strengthening exercises is the best way to improve one’s balance. D. As for improving one's balance, Harris offers no recommendation. 11. Which column is the passage probably taken from? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Fiction. D. Entertainment. D When was the last time you talked proudly about being sensitive? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness. The message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity. However, sensitivity is largely genetic (遗传), and not something you can turn off. It is a character connected to talent and something we should embrace. In fact, according to thirty years of research, it’s not only a healthy character, but it also serves as a big advantage. As a personality character, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply. The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people tend to be highly creative, and many — perhaps most — artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability changes into innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin. Sensitive people have this ability to innovate because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads — and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to deal with. But sensitive people can learn to deal with it. For them, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a long way. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You can’t make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world. 12. What phenomenon does the author mention in paragraph l ? A. People usually take pride in their being sensitive. B. Being negative is often looked up to in our daily life. C. Being sensitive is traditionally regarded as a weakness. D. Generally speaking, we have few characters that should be praised. 13. Why does the author think of sensitivity as an advantage? A. Because it has nothing to do with talent. B. Because you can see the world more deeply with it. C. Because people with it tend to be talented artists. D. Because it is largely acquired by learning and can easily be changed. 14. Why is Charles Darwin mentioned in the text? A. To show some great scientists in history are sensitive. B. To explain the most famous sensitive gift is creativity. C. To prove most artists, musicians and actors are sensitive. D. To show sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. 15. What is a sensitive person recommended to do? A. Pay for it. B. Consult doctors. C. Avoid showing it. D. Jump at it. 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。 We have been through this first part of the year and have found ourselves already at spring break. ____16____, we have four fun-filled ideas to avoid the endless question : “What are we going to do today?” Visit the museums.

I still remember playing with my friends and family with the snow falling all around. I loved to watch the snowflakes flying in all directions. There was a strong desire inside me that I was eager to have my own snow as a special gift on my birthday. To my great disappointment, the snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. I was completely mad. I just hungered for my birthday snow. I asked my beloved grandmother why it didn’t snow on my birthday over and over again. She laughed, telling me I had asked the same question for too many times. At the same time she promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest and we agreed to keep it our secret. When I begged her for my next birthday snow with eagerness, she just patted me on the shoulder gently, not giving a definite reply. That cold winter, before my birthday, my grandmother died. I was deeply sad, but a bit angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my tenth birthday, I wok e up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. No luck. I cried and cried, thinking about my grandmother and the dream promise. There were still friends, gifts and a big dinner; there was still no snow. What’s worse, there was no my beloved grandmother. I would pray for my birthday snow in the following years, but it never came. Never! By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: I was outside with a friend when she asked me if I was having a good time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I got home, my mother told me there was a surprise for me. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力： 1---5 BACCA 6--10 BCCAA 11--15 BCABC 16--20 ACABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 吕梁市2023–2024学年度高三第一次模拟考试 英语试题 (本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上) 注意事项： 1.本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。 2.答题前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息。 3.考试作答时，请将答案正确地填写在答题卡上，答在本试卷上无效。 4.第Ⅰ卷听力部分满分30分，不计入总分。 5.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题 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.

She broke the record for the most number one albums by a woman in US chart history — 13 in total. Swift became the first songwriter to score seven Grammy nominations for song of the year. Boosted by her tour, Swift was named the most-streamed female artist in the history of Spotify and Apple Music. 4. what can we know from the second and third paragraphs? A. Swift’s career reached a certain height before 2023. B. There are 45 songs totally in the Eras tour. C. Swift was once in favour of Donald Trump. D. Her country-pop confirmed her songwriter status. 5. What does Sam Jacobs think of Taylor Swift? A. Rare and plain. B. Talented and dependent. C. Daring and stubborn. D. Shining and inspiring. 6. How many of her albums were in the US Top 10 at the same time? A. One. B. Four. C. Five. D. Ten. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A record-breaking Eras tour film B. An influential female music superstar C. A history-making album D. A far-reaching award 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。介绍了时代周刊人物Taylor Swift。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Already a superstar before 2023, her career has reached new heights thanks to the Eras tour, which sees the singer perform a career-spanning 45-song set every night.(在2023年之前，她就已经是一个超级巨星了，由于Eras tour，她的事业达到了新的高度，每晚她都会演唱45首歌曲)”可知，Swift的事业在2023年之前达到了一定的高度。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said the US pop icon was “the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story”, adding that Swift had “found a way to go beyond borders and be a source of light”.(《时代》杂志主编Sam Jacobs说，这位美国流行偶像是“罕见的既能写自己的故事又能成为英雄的人”，并补充说斯威夫特“找到了一种超越国界的方式，成为一束光的来源”)”可知，Sam Jacobs认为Taylor Swift既能写自己的故事又能成为英雄且找到了一种超越国界的方式，成为一束光的来源，所以是闪耀而鼓舞人心的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Eras tour film became the biggest concert movie of all time, taking $249m at the global box office; Swift became the first living artist to have five albums in the US Top 10 simultaneously. She broke the record for the most number one albums by a woman in US chart history-13 in total.(The Eras tour电影成为有史以来票房最高的演唱会电影，全球票房达2.49亿美元；斯威夫特成为第一位同时有五张专辑进入美国前十的在世艺人。她打破了美国唱片榜历史上女性获得最多冠军专辑的记录——总共有13张)”可知，她有五张专辑同时进入美国音乐排行榜前十。故选C项。 7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Taylor Swift was named Time Magazine’s person of the year. The star, whose Eras Tour broke box office records, follows the likes of Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg and Mark Uckerberg. The award goes to an event or person believed to have had the most influence on global events over the past year.(Taylor Swift被《时代》杂志评为年度人物。这位明星的《时代之旅》打破了票房纪录，紧随其后的是巴拉克·奥巴马、格蕾塔·桑伯格和马克·乌克伯格。该奖项授予被认为在过去一年中对全球事件影响最大的事件或人物)”以及最后一段“Swift became the first songwriter to score seven Grammy nominations for song of the year. Boosted by her tour, Swift was named the most-streamed female artist in the history of Spotify and Apple Music.(Swift成为第一个获得七项格莱美年度最佳歌曲提名的词曲作者。在巡演的推动下，Swift成为Spotify和Apple Music历史上播放量最高的女艺人)”可知，本文主要介绍了时代周刊人物Taylor Swift，所以B项“An influential female music superstar(一位有影响力的女音乐巨星)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C How steady you are on your feet can indicate how likely you are to live a longer, healthy life. The ability to remain upright and steady is something that we take for granted, until something goes wrong. The balance system is made up of lots of different sensory components, explains Nicola Harris, a health expert. Good balance depends on correct sensory information from your eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear. The most obvious benefit of good balance is that it helps prevent falls and therefore injuries, and simply makes daily activities easier and safer to perform. Unless you develop a balance disorder, the first time people become aware of balance issues is when they get older. Harris says that people with balance problems at her clinic often talk about the loss of the ability to look from side to side as they cross the road because they feel unsteady. “That is fundamentally because the balance system as a whole starts to get worn,” says Harris. Pilates, dance and tai chi are all good exercises to maintain good balance. “Other things that work your balance slightly differently, but again are really good, are ball games. Anything involving hand-eye coordination, such as tennis or table tennis,” says Harris. However, she warns against just doing strengthening exercises in the gym using machinery: “That’s not going to improve your balance.” Including tree weights and resistance bands into your workout will not only strengthen your bones and muscles, but your balance, too. 8. What does the underlined word “components” in paragraph 2 mean? A. personalities B. manners C. parts D. approaches 9. Which statement is true about a balance disorder? A. It can be easily found in our everyday life. B. It results in more convenience to daily activities. C. It leads to people crossing the road more steadily. D. It is hard to be felt for the young if one doesn’t have any symptom. 10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. There is more than one exercise to improve one’s balance. B. Any kind of exercise will do good to maintaining one’s good balance. C. Doing strengthening exercises is the best way to improve one’s balance. D. As for improving one's balance, Harris offers no recommendation. 11. Which column is the passage probably taken from? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Fiction. D. Entertainment. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了平衡能力对人体健康和生活质量的重要性，平衡能力不仅关乎行走的稳定性，还与长寿和健康密切相关。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The balance system is made up of lots of different sensory components (平衡系统由许多不同的感官components组成)”和其后“Good balance depends on correct sensory information from your eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear.(良好的平衡依赖于来自眼睛、肌肉、肌腱、关节和内耳平衡器官的正确感觉信息)”可推知，“sensory components”即下文中列举的“eyes, muscles, tendons (腱), and joints, and the balance organs in the inner ear”等感觉器官。所以component与part同义，意为“组成部分，器官，部位”。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unless you develop a balance disorder, the first time people become aware of balance issues is when they get older.(除非你患上了平衡障碍，否则人们第一次意识到平衡问题是在他们变老的时候)”可知，如果没有患上了平衡障碍，没有症状，年轻人是很难感知平衡障碍的。所以“It is hard to be felt for the young if one doesn’t have any symptom.”是正确的描述。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Pilates, dance and tai chi are all good exercises to maintain good balance.(普拉提、舞蹈和太极都是保持身体平衡的好运动)”和“Other things that work your balance slightly differently, but again are really good, are ball games.(球类运动对平衡的影响略有不同，但同样非常好)”可知，有不止一种运动可以改善一个人的平衡。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“How steady you are on your feet can indicate how likely you are to live a longer, healthy life. The ability to remain upright and steady is something that we take for granted, until something goes wrong.(你的脚有多稳，表明你有多大可能活得更长、更健康。保持直立和稳定的能力是我们认为理所当然的，直到出现问题)”可知，文章主要介绍了平衡能力对人体健康和生活质量的重要性，它不仅关乎行走的稳定性，还与长寿和健康密切相关。文章内容与人类健康有关，所以很可能出自健康专栏。故选B项。 D When was the last time you talked proudly about being sensitive? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness. The message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity. However, sensitivity is largely genetic (遗传的), and not something you can turn off. It is a character connected to talent and something we should embrace. In fact, according to thirty years of research, it’s not only a healthy character, but it also serves as a big advantage. As a personality character, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply. The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people tend to be highly creative, and many — perhaps most — artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability changes into innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin. Sensitive people have this ability to innovate because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads — and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to deal with. But sensitive people can learn to deal with it. For them, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a long way. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You can’t make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world. 12. What phenomenon does the author mention in paragraph l ? A. People usually take pride in their being sensitive. B. Being negative is often looked up to in our daily life. C. Being sensitive is traditionally regarded as a weakness. D. Generally speaking, we have few characters that should be praised. 13. Why does the author think of sensitivity as an advantage? A. Because it has nothing to do with talent. B. Because you can see the world more deeply with it. C. Because people with it tend to be talented artists. D. Because it is largely acquired by learning and can easily be changed. 14. Why is Charles Darwin mentioned in the text? A. To show some great scientists in history are sensitive. B. To explain the most famous sensitive gift is creativity. C. To prove most artists, musicians and actors are sensitive. D To show sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. 15. What is a sensitive person recommended to do? A. Pay for it. B. Consult doctors. C. Avoid showing it. D. Jump at it. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明“敏感”的特征以及好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are plenty of characters we take pride in, but being “sensitive” is usually considered as a weakness.(有很多我们引以为傲的性格，但“敏感”通常被认为是一种弱点)”可知，“敏感”习惯上被认为是一种缺陷，而不是优势。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sensitive people process information more deeply than others do. This changes the way you see the world. You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply.(敏感的人比其他人更能深入地处理信息。这会改变你看待世界的方式。你可能会注意到别人错过了什么，想了什么，感受到了什么)”可知，敏感的人能够深入加工获取的信息，能更深入地了解世界。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, like Charles Darwin.(历史上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都是敏感的人，比如查尔斯·达尔文)”可知，提到了查尔斯·达尔文是为了显示历史上一些伟大的科学家是敏感的。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world.(相反，你可以为自己采取的最重要的一步是社会告诉你一辈子不要做的事情：不要躲避你的敏感。接受它，向世界展示它)”可知，作者建议敏感的人应该欣然接受敏感，并勇于展示给别人。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We have been through this first part of the year and have found ourselves already at spring break. ____16____, we have four fun-filled ideas to avoid the endless question : “What are we going to do today?” Visit the museums.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了四个建议，关于如何过一个有意义的春假的方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“We have been through this first part of the year and have found ourselves already at spring break.(我们已经度过了今年的第一部分，发现自己已经到了春假)”以及后文“we have four fun-filled ideas to avoid the endless question : “What are we going to do today?”(我们有四个充满乐趣的主意来避免这个没完没了的问题：“我们今天要做什么?”)”可知，后文提到可以避免这个没完没了的问题，而前文没有提出问题，所以应是空处提出，F项“If you’re planning to spend a meaningful spring break(如果你打算过一个有意义的春假)”承接上文，并且引出下文，符合文意。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Most museums, especially the smaller ones, offer day or even week long theme-specific camps.(大多数博物馆，尤其是较小的博物馆，提供为期一天甚至一周的特定主题夏令营)”可知，本段提到去夏令营，所以G项“The camps are often a steal — nearly half - price of summer programs(夏令营通常很便宜，几乎是夏季项目的一半)”是对夏令营的进一步说明，其中camps为同词复现。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“It’s easy enough to organize through social media channels; everyone brings their own chalk and, you’ve got yourself a group art class! Best part about it? Anyone can get involved. It brings the community together.(通过社交媒体渠道组织起来很容易；每个人都带着自己的粉笔，这样你就有了一个集体美术课!最好的部分是什么?任何人都可以参与其中。它把社区团结在一起)”可知，此处是在讲述集体活动的好处，所以E项“And it costs nothing more than the price of chalk(而且它的价格不超过粉笔的价格)”符合文意，也是本活动的好处，其中chalk为同词复现。故选E项。 【19题详解】 分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“Take this spring break and travel around the town like a tourist. Visit the historic farm, local art gallery, and public gardens with live music in your own town. Spend time in your own backyard,establish a positive connection to the place you live in and teach children all about appreciating where they live.(趁着这个春假，像个游客一样在镇上转转。参观历史悠久的农场，当地的艺术画廊，和公共花园与现场音乐在你自己的城镇。花时间在你自己的后院，与你居住的地方建立积极的联系，教孩子们欣赏他们居住的地方)”可知，本段主要讲述像个游客一样在镇上转转，所以A项“Act like a tourist(表现得像个游客)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Is there a food bank that needs reorganizing? A local park that needs weeding? Call your community board, or even local officials to find out an area of need that best suits your family. Spending time giving back to the community is a great way to build character and understand the importance of helping others.(是否有食品银行需要重组?需要除草的当地公园?打电话给你的社区委员会，甚至是当地官员，找出最适合你的家庭的需要。花时间回馈社会是培养品格和理解帮助他人重要性的好方法)”可知，本段主要讲述了花时间回馈社会，帮助他人，所以C项“Spend this break devoting time to others(把这段休息时间花在别人身上)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选C项。 第二部分，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。 The year was 1956.

I still remember playing with my friends and family with the snow falling all around. I loved to watch the snowflakes flying in all directions. There was a strong desire inside me that I was eager to have my own snow as a special gift on my birthday. To my great disappointment, the snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. I was completely mad. I just hungered for my birthday snow. I asked my beloved grandmother why it didn’t snow on my birthday over and over again. She laughed, telling me I had asked the same question for too many times. At the same time she promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest and we agreed to keep it our secret. When I begged her for my next birthday snow with eagerness, she just patted me on the shoulder gently, not giving a definite reply. That cold winter, before my birthday, my grandmother died. I was deeply sad, but a bit angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my tenth birthday, I wok e up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. No luck. I cried and cried, thinking about my grandmother and the dream promise. There were still friends, gifts and a big dinner; there was still no snow. What’s worse, there was no my beloved grandmother. I would pray for my birthday snow in the following years, but it never came. Never! By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: I was outside with a friend when she asked me if I was having a good time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I got home, my mother told me there was a surprise for me. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I was outside with a friend when she asked me if I was having a good time. I told her I was having the best time ever! I was enjoying life to the fullest. Then I saw the white snow falling all around. I behaved like a little child on Christmas morning as I ran around screaming and laughing. She asked me if I had ever seen snow before. I laughed, saying I had. However, it was a special snow, my snow. She laughed at my childish action, but I didn’t care. When I got home, my mother told me there was a surprise for me. I wondered what it was. She gave me a small white box that had snowflake wrapping on it. I asked her what it was and she told me to stop asking so many questions and just open it. I did. Surprisingly, it was a handwritten letter from my beloved grandmother. Mum told me that it was my grandmother’s final wish to give me this on my “sweet sixteenth”. I cried and hugged my mum, although she didn’t understand. I said a silent prayer to my smiling grandmother, who I was certain was, and always had been, watching over me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候喜欢雪，后来祖母不在了，好几年都没有下雪。直到多年后作者再次收到了“生日雪”——一封祖母留下的信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我和一个朋友在外面，她问我玩得好不好”可知，第一段可描写她和朋友尽情享受16岁生日后，梦寐以求的属于她的“生日雪”终于降临。所以她欣喜若狂。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回到家，我妈妈告诉我有一个惊喜给我”可知，第二段可描写惊喜生日礼物，表达作者对祖母的思念之情。 2.续写线索：玩得开心——询问情况——告知惊喜——祖母留下信——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①嘲笑：laugh at/tease ②注视：watch over/stare at ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①幼稚：childish/naive ②确信：certain/ be sure of 【点睛】[高分句型1] She asked me if I had ever seen snow before.
