Frederick Delius: On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring A bird, cuckoo, in Bradford born Delius’s short work for orchestra. In this instance, the call of the bird is heard in one wind instrument and later another, while a soft, gentle tune in the strings promises sunny days ahead. Arnold Bax: November Woods Bax’s 1917 symphonic poem for orchestra has, as the title suggests, a wonderfully autumnal feel. A storm gathers in the first half but eventually the music switches to a calmer mood. Few works display the British weather so delicately. Gustav Holst: Egdon Heath Though the title of Holst’s 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy, the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England. The musical landscape here is rough and sometimes predictive. Edward Elgar: Cello concerto Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work, or expressing the beauty of the British countryside? A bit of both, one feels—he associated a passage from it with the Malvern Hills. 1. Which of the following is the first inspiration of Holst’s 1927 composition? A. The call of a bird. B. A storm in the autumn of England. C. The long walks in southern England. D. A famous novel by Thomas Hardy. 2. What do we know about Cello Concerto? A. It is one of Elgar’s early works. B. It involves Elgar’s personal experiences. C. It is developed in a joyful tone. D. It focuses on the beauty of Malvern Hills. 3. What do the four compositions have in common? A. They are composed in spring. B. They are musical works of the 1910’s. C. They are conducted by Jeremy Pound. D. They are inspired by the British countryside. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个受到英国乡村之美启发的音乐作品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Though the title of Holst’s 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy, the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England.(尽管霍尔斯特1927年的管弦乐作品的名字来自托马斯·哈代描述的虚构地点，但作曲家最初创作这部作品的灵感来自英格兰南部的长时间散步)”可知，英格兰南部的长途行走是霍尔斯特1927年作品的最初灵感来源。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work, or expressing the beauty of the British countryside?(在这部宏大而悲伤的1919年作品中，年迈的埃尔加是在回顾最近全球和个人的跌宕起伏，还是在表达英国乡村的美丽？)”可知，大提琴协奏曲涉及埃尔加的个人经历。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Jeremy Pound recommends compositions inspired by the beauty of the British countryside.(杰里米·庞德推荐的作品灵感来自英国乡村之美)”可知，这四个作品的共同之处是都受到英国乡村的启发。故选D。 B A few years ago my husband Charlie and I had marital problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night. However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became. When I felt we were reaching solid ground I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance (保证) I thought it would bring. We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler’s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. “May I clean it for you?” he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle like it used to.” Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweler was back. The ring shone like new! On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast. And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy. I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers. Charlie covered my hand with his. I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something gold when I thought I needed something new. 4. Why did the author and her husband decide to solve the problems? A. They were a famous couple. B. They didn’t want to divorce. C. The problems were not serious. D. They had experience in doing so. 5. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. free of trouble B. arriving at a square C. wealthy and generous D. in good relationship 6. Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home? A. Her husband kept it for her. B. They didn’t actually pay for it. C. The old ring’s light attracted her attention. D. The couple were talking all the way merrily. 7. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph? A. We tend to prefer new objects to old ones. B. One should remain thankful for what he has got. C. Marriage should be constantly polished. D. We should try to rediscover the true value of old objects. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者和丈夫曾经有过婚姻问题，但双方均未想要离婚，而是努力解决双方之间的问题。当作者提出和丈夫一起去买永恒戒指的时候，由戒指除垢感悟到平凡的婚姻也应该像戒指一样经常除垢，让它重新生机勃勃。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out.”，作者和丈夫仍然相互爱对方，都不想结束他们的婚姻，不想使孩子们伤心，所以他们决定要解决他们之间的问题。故B项正确。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became.”可知，作者和丈夫解决了他们之间的问题，关系越来越融治。再根据画线部分所在句子中的“I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring””可推知，作者感觉她和丈夫的关系已经很好了，他们已经和好如初了。故D项正确。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it.”可知，作者在回家的路上眼睛一直盯着那枚结婚戒指，因为它经过擦拭后重新放出了光芒，犹如丈夫刚给她的那天一样。早已忘记他们是要去买“永恒戒指”。故C项正确。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy.”可知，作者认为对待婚姻也应该像对待那枚戒指一样，经常除垢，经常发现婚姻生活中的闪光点，使婚姻保持新鲜。故C项正确。 【点睛】本文小题2考查了词义猜测题，由第二段最后一句可知“作者和丈夫解决了他们之间的问题。他们的关系已经恢复了”，可知该短语意为“in good relationship”。本题主要运用上下文语境猜测参与。通过上下文的具体信息猜测词义是目前高考阅读理解题中最常见的一种命题形式。 （2014重庆卷，A篇）59. What does the underlined word “antics” refer to? A. Smart words. B. Unusual actions. C. Surprising Looks. D. Anxious feelings. 解析：B。由上文she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone…And she swept it into the wastebasket.以及She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” 可知，作者的妻子听到作者的吼叫声后，做了一些古怪的事情，如将电话机扔进垃圾箱、对着屋子里的东西喊话等。而正是她的这些古怪的行为让作者突然意识到了自己的失控。由上文这些信息可推知“antics”指的是Unusual actions。 C Two thirds of the ice in the glaciers (冰川) of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study. Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century. The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice-free by 2100. Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes, representing five per cent, at most, of the ice volume seen today. The researchers warn that the loss of these glaciers will mean much less water is available for farming and hydroelectricity, especially during droughts. It would also affect nature and tourism. In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons. This will lead to serious consequences for almost two billion people who live downstream. Glaciers along the Hindu Kush and Himalayan range are at higher, colder altitudes. If global carbon emissions are not cut, however, two-thirds of their ice could be gone by 2100. The latest research combined computer models with real-world data to forecast the fate of the glaciers. It used 2017 as its starting point. Unlike previous work, these models included how the glaciers move down the mountains. Applying this approach to other glaciated mountain chains could improve ice loss forecasts there. Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance. 8. What does the underlined word “doomed” mean in paragraph 1? A. Polluted. B. Discovered. C. Endangered. D. Abandoned. 9. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Emissions have much to do with the ice melting. B. The Alps is expected to lose all its ice by 2100. C. Ice loss will be avoided with emissions prevented. D. Large ice pieces will just exist at the mountain top. 10. Why are the Asia’s ice fields mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To explain how glacier melting came about. B. To imply pollution is a worldwide problem. C. To show what consequences ice melting will cause. D. To indicate the Alps is not alone to face ice melting. 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of glaciers? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8 C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿尔卑斯山和亚洲的冰川面临严重威胁，可能在本世纪末融化，文中分析了其原因，同时也提出了解决问题的思路。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study. (根据最近的一项研究，随着全球气温的上升，这些冰川将在本世纪末融化)”可知，冰川将在本世纪末融化，由此推知，划线词所在句中的“阿尔卑斯山的冰川”也面临同样的威胁，结合选项可知，划线词doomed与endangered同义，意为“有危险的”。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century.(科学家们预测，到2050年，由于全球变暖，由于过去排放的影响，阿尔卑斯山4000多座冰川中一半的冰将消失。在那之后，即使碳排放降至零，到2100年仍会有三分之二的冰融化。如果排放量继续以目前的速度增长，到本世纪末，这些冰舌将几乎从阿尔卑斯山谷中消失)”可推知，碳排放与冰融化有很大关系。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons.(今年2月，一项研究发现，由于同样的原因，亚洲高耸山脉中三分之一的巨大冰原也面临威胁)”可推知，第四段提到亚洲的冰原是为了表明阿尔卑斯山并不是唯一面临冰融化的地方。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合文章最后一段“Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance.(减少化石燃料燃烧、森林砍伐和其他污染活动的排放是最大限度地减少冰融化的最大因素。这些冰川的未来确实处于危险之中，但仍然有可能限制它们的消失)”可知，文中作者表达了对碳排放造成冰川融化的担忧，但同时也提出改变这一情况的可能，所以作者认为冰川的未来取决于人类自身，对冰川的未来持客观的态度。故选A项。 D Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate (有读写能力的), and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to sail in a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more. Could a growing number of people take part in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect — the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken. But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator (讲述者) speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can go through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read compared with when they listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn widened the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution (进化) of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress? What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy out of date? 12. What does the second paragraph focus on? A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy. C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast. 13. Compared to listening, what will a person do when reading? A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly. C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words. 14. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book? A. To give an example of a book on reading. B. To show the evolution of human beings. C. To prove that reading is related to brain. D. To stress the function of the brain. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. An encyclopedia. C. A book review. D. A science magazine. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了当今社会科技使人不读不写就能融入社会，但是读写能力仍然是最强大的认知工具。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Could a growing number of people take part in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. (越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗？科技使之成为可能。现在，我们的大多数设备都能与我们对话，并接受语音指令)”可知，本段主要介绍，由于智能科技设备的识别语音功能，没有读写识字能力的人也有可能融入社会生活，即科技弥补了不识字这一缺陷。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator (讲述者) speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can go through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read compared with when they listen.(首先，大多数人读得比说得快。播客或有声书的解说员每分钟大约说150到160个单词，而阅读能力强的人每分钟可以读300到400个单词。这是原来的两倍!研究还发现，与听相比，人们在阅读时能记住更多信息，也更有兴趣)”可知，与听相比，在相等时间内，阅读能获取更多信息。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“ Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read compared with when they listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn widened the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution (进化) of our species.”(研究还发现，与听的时候相比，人们在阅读时会记住更多的信息，并保持更大的兴趣。玛丽安·沃尔夫在她的书《普鲁斯特和乌贼：阅读大脑的故事和科学》中写道，随着阅读的发明，人类“重新安排了我们大脑的组织，这反过来扩展了我们能够思考的方式，从而改变了我们物种的智力进化”)”可知，Maryanne Wolf认为阅读是和大脑组织有联系的，作者提到她的书也是要证明这一点。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible.(越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗？科技使之成为可能)”和最后一段末“Would we really choose to give up that progress? What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete?(我们真的会选择放弃这种进步吗？你怎么看？你希望人们继续阅读和写作，还是希望科技使读写能力过时？)”并结合全文可知，文章介绍了当今社会科技使人不读不写就能融入社会，但是读写能力仍然是最强大的认知工具。这是和科学相关的内容，由此推测，文章可能出自科学杂志。故选D项。 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。 Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life.

Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore our health.(健康和健身帮助一个人过上良好和健康的生活。由于各种各样的压力，我们往往会忽视自己的健康。)”可知因为各种压力，我们的健康容易被忽视，根据空后“It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases.(正是我们身体的健康水平帮助我们对抗这些疾病。)”可知身体的健康可以让我们应对各种疾病，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲忽视健康对我们的身体及生活的影响。G项“This makes our body suffer and we will catch other diseases.(这使我们的身体遭受痛苦，而且我们会感染其他疾病。)”承接上文，引出下文，而且G项中的other diseases与空后的these diseases相互照应，符合上下文语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据空后“We need to be fit to have a healthy body. Similarly, if we are healthy we shall naturally be attracted towards maintaining the fitness of our body.(为了拥有一个健康的身体我们需要健康。同样，如果我们是健康的，我们自然会被保持健康的身体所吸引。)”可知健康的身体与健身是密不可分的，空处位于句首，应是本段的主旨句，B项“Health and fitness are interrelated to each other.(健康和健身是相互关联的。)”概括全段的主要内容，符合上下文语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Health is the state of our body at a given time. We may not have any disease but still have a weak body, which is ready to be targeted by viruses.(健康是在特定时间内我们身体的状态。我们可能没有任何疾病，但身体仍然虚弱，随时会被病毒攻击。)”可知我们的身体虽然没有生病，但也很虚弱，随时会生病，根据空后“This does not definitely mean that we are not healthy.(这并不一定意味着我们不健康。)”可知生病并不一定表明我们是不健康的。空处承上启下，所以空处应该举例说明我们的身体在虚弱的情况下会生病这样一种状况，D项“For instance, we may have a tendency to catch a cold easily.(例如，我们可能很容易感冒。)”举例说明我们的身体会在虚弱的情况下生病，承接上文，引出下文，而且空后的This指代D项的we may have a tendency to catch a cold easily这种情况，符合上下文语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“It is important for everyone to devote some time to health and fitness.(对每个人来说，花些时间在健康和健身方面是很重要的。)”可知我们应该花时间去健身，根据空后“For instance, we must exercise daily regardless of our age and working style.(例如，我们必须每天锻炼，不管我们的年龄和工作方式。)”可知我们应该每天坚持锻炼，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是我们应该通过哪些活动来进行锻炼，F项“There are some activities which everyone should do in our life.(在我们的生活中有一些活动是每个人都应该做的。)”承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“We should have at least six to eight hours of sleep every day.

Due to financial problems, I ____21____ it up, thinking I’d get to it someday. Over the years, I had planned to upgrade to energy-efficient windows. But with the frame rusted (锈) and firmly ____22____ in the foundation, whoever did it would need to chisel ( 凿 ) it out by hand. It would be a ____23____ process and there were six of those windows in the house. The cost was estimated at $15,000. It was simply ____24____.

Months 37. it 38. needs 39. getting 40. tested 41. tired 42. to stay 43. that/which 44. the 45. more 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手机或电脑发出的蓝光对我们的危害，和一些防御的方法。 【36题详解】 考查名词。句意：几个月的研究和测试表明，蓝光会让人难以入睡。结合空格后的 of studies 可知，用复数名词表泛指，意为“数月的研究”符合语境，且位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填 Months。 【37题详解】 考查代词。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处用 it 作形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式 to sleep。故填 it。 【38题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：这意味着你的身体没有得到它需要的休息。分析句式结构可知，此处是省略引导词的定语从句，从句中主语 it 为第三人称单数形式，且根据上文的 doesn't 可知，时态为一般现在时，所以此处用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填 needs。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这可能会导致心脏问题，感觉不开心，变胖。分析句式结构可知，此处应该用现在分词作伴随状语与上文的 feeling 并列。故填 getting。 【40题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：我们测试了两组人，让他们在睡觉前做不同的事情：看手机或读书。分析句意再根据下文的 found 可知，此处应该是用一般现在时。故填 tested。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们发现，当你在睡前看手机时，你会感觉不那么累，睡眠时间也会减少。根据空格前的感官动词 feel 可知，此处应该用形容词作表语。故填 tired。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：好消息是，我们还发现了一些人们可以做的事情来远离这个问题。分析句式结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填 to stay。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：人们可以做的另一件事是在白天从太阳那里获得大量明亮的光线。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，且从句中缺少宾语，所以用关系代词 that 或 which 来引导定语从句。故填 that/which。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句意可知，此处是指在白天获得明亮光线，所以用 the 构成固定短语 during the day 表示“在白天”，符合语境。故填 the。 【45题详解】 考查比较级。句意：研究已经向我们展示了很多，但还有更多的事情需要做。根据空格前的 even 并结合句意可知， 此处应该用提示词的比较级形式。故填 more。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 在成长的过程中，我们总是对未来的职业充满憧憧，近期你班将以“My Dream Career”为题举行演讲比赛。请你根据以下要求写一篇英语演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 你的理想职业； 2. 选择它的理由； 3. 实现的途径。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可根据内容要点适当发挥，以使行文连贯。 My Dream Career ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Good morning, everyone!

I put on my clothes and walked down the stairs slowly. “Hurry up, we don't want to be late!” My mom urged. I looked out of the window. The sun was shining. When I entered the dining room, I was met with the nice smell of pancakes. All these made me feel a little bit better. “What a beautiful day,” I told myself, “I can do it.” As breakfast went on, I struggled with the mounting fear. It was the first time for me to try zip, lining. To make things worse, I was scared of going to high places. I had tried to get over the unreasonable fear many; many times since it had kept me away from having fun with my friends. And I was particularly fed up with making excuses to cover up my fear of height. After breakfast, we set out in my dad's car. Along the way, the sun grew hotter, and the leather on the seats started to burn my legs while my parents were talking about the sport enthusiastically. But I was still absorbed in my fear. Eventually, we pulled up to a big park where our instructor was waiting for us “Good morning!” he said cheerfully. “So, have you all tried this sport before?” We shook our heads. I got more nervous while the instructor went over the safety instructions and warned us of the possible dangers of the sport. “All right, it is time to hit the tails!” said the instructor after we fastened our safety belts. For a moment, I congratulated myself that he did not note my fear. “It is a really good beginning,” I told myself, “How happy I would be if I could make it.” 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。 When we were ready, my mom and dad were asked to go first. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, my turn came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When we were ready, my mom and dad were asked to go first. The moment they set out, they yelled and screamed. Not for long, they became two little black dots and their laughter kept ringing in the air. It was obvious that the excitement took hold of my parents. But I stood there, unable to move. I could feel my legs shaking slightly and my heart beating fast. But I tried very hard to appear calm and strong. Finally, my turn came. Without warning, the instructor gave me a gentle push. I closed my eyes and held the safety belt tightly. As I slid faster and faster along the wire, I could feel the wind blowing on my face. A few minutes later, I heard my parents' faint cheers. I opened my eyes and looked down. Suddenly, my fear gave way to excitement. The flowers below were so beautiful that I forgot my fear. Finally, I have overcome my fear of height, thanks to the instructor's gentle push. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和父母一起去玩高空滑索，在这次的体验中克服恐高的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我们准备好了，我的妈妈和爸爸被要求先走。”可知，第一段可描写作者的恐惧。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，轮到我了。”可知，第二段可描写作者由紧张刺激变为兴奋的过程。 2.续写线索：害怕——紧张——兴奋——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.出发：set out/depart/start off ②.控制：take hold of /control ③.拒绝：shake his head/decline/refuse politely 情绪类 ①.感谢：Thank for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】 [高分句型1] As I slid faster and faster along the wire, I could feel the wind blowing on my face.（这句话运用了as引导的时间状语从句。） [高分句型2] It was obvious that the excitement took hold of my parents. （这句话运用了主语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 建平县实验中学2023—2024学年高一下月考试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Frederick Delius: On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring A bird, cuckoo, in Bradford born Delius’s short work for orchestra. In this instance, the call of the bird is heard in one wind instrument and later another, while a soft, gentle tune in the strings promises sunny days ahead. Arnold Bax: November Woods Bax’s 1917 symphonic poem for orchestra has, as the title suggests, a wonderfully autumnal feel. A storm gathers in the first half but eventually the music switches to a calmer mood. Few works display the British weather so delicately. Gustav Holst: Egdon Heath Though the title of Holst’s 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy, the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England. The musical landscape here is rough and sometimes predictive. Edward Elgar: Cello concerto Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work, or expressing the beauty of the British countryside? A bit of both, one feels—he associated a passage from it with the Malvern Hills. 1. Which of the following is the first inspiration of Holst’s 1927 composition? A. The call of a bird. B. A storm in the autumn of England. C. The long walks in southern England. D. A famous novel by Thomas Hardy. 2. What do we know about Cello Concerto? A. It is one of Elgar’s early works. B. It involves Elgar’s personal experiences. C. It is developed in a joyful tone. D. It focuses on the beauty of Malvern Hills. 3. What do the four compositions have in common? A. They are composed in spring. B. They are musical works of the 1910’s. C. They are conducted by Jeremy Pound. D. They are inspired by the British countryside. B A few years ago, my husband Charlie and I had marital problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night. However, neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became. When I felt we were reaching solid ground, I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance (保证) I thought it would bring. We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler’s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. “May I clean it for you?” he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle like it used to.” Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweler was back. The ring shone like new! On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast. And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy. I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers. Charlie covered my hand with his. I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something gold when I thought I needed something new. 4. Why did the author and her husband decide to solve the problems? A. They were a famous couple. B. They didn’t want to divorce. C. The problems were not serious. D. They had experience in doing so. 5. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. free of trouble B. arriving at a square C. wealthy and generous D. in good relationship 6. Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home? A. Her husband kept it for her. B. They didn’t actually pay for it. C. The old ring’s light attracted her attention. D. The couple were talking all the way merrily. 7. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph? A. We tend to prefer new objects to old ones. B. One should remain thankful for what he has got. C. Marriage should be constantly polished. D. We should try to rediscover the true value of old objects. C Two thirds of the ice in the glaciers (冰川) of the Alps is doomed! These glaciers will melt by the end of the century as global temperatures rise, according to a recent study. Scientists claim that half the ice held in some 4,000 Alpine glaciers will disappear by 2050 due to global warming through the effect of past emissions. After that, even if carbon emissions drop to zero, two-thirds of the ice will still have melted by 2100. If emissions continue to rise at the current rate, the ice tongues will have all but disappeared from Alpine valleys by the end of the century. The most pessimistic prediction tells us that the Alps will be mostly ice-free by 2100. Only isolated ice patches would remain at high altitudes, representing five per cent, at most, of the ice volume seen today. The researchers warn that the loss of these glaciers will mean much less water is available for farming and hydroelectricity, especially during droughts. It would also affect nature and tourism. In February, a study found that a third of the huge ice fields in Asia’s towering mountain chains were also under threat for the same reasons. This will lead to serious consequences for almost two billion people who live downstream. Glaciers along the Hindu Kush and Himalayan range are at higher, colder altitudes. If global carbon emissions are not cut, however, two-thirds of their ice could be gone by 2100. The latest research combined computer models with real-world data to forecast the fate of the glaciers. It used 2017 as its starting point. Unlike previous work, these models included how the glaciers move down the mountains. Applying this approach to other glaciated mountain chains could improve ice loss forecasts there. Cutting the emissions from fossil-fuel burning, deforestation and other polluting activities is the biggest factor in minimizing the melting of the ice. The future of these glaciers is indeed at risk, but there is still a possibility of limiting their disappearance. 8. What does the underlined word “doomed” mean in paragraph 1? A. Polluted. B. Discovered. C. Endangered. D. Abandoned. 9. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Emissions have much to do with the ice melting. B. The Alps is expected to lose all its ice by 2100. C. Ice loss will be avoided with emissions prevented. D. Large ice pieces will just exist at the mountain top. 10. Why are the Asia’s ice fields mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To explain how glacier melting came about. B. To imply pollution is a worldwide problem. C. To show what consequences ice melting will cause. D. To indicate the Alps is not alone to face ice melting. 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of glaciers? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. D Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate (有读写能力的), and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to sail in a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more. Could a growing number of people take part in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect — the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken. But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator (讲述者) speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can go through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read compared with when they listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn widened the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution (进化) of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress? What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy out of date? 12. What does the second paragraph focus on? A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy. C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast. 13. Compared to listening, what will a person do when reading? A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly. C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words. 14. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book? A. To give an example of a book on reading. B. To show the evolution of human beings. C. To prove that reading is related to brain. D. To stress the function of the brain. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A textbook. B.

I put on my clothes and walked down the stairs slowly. “Hurry up, we don't want to be late!” My mom urged. I looked out of the window. The sun was shining. When I entered the dining room, I was met with the nice smell of pancakes. All these made me feel a little bit better. “What a beautiful day,” I told myself, “I can do it.” As breakfast went on, I struggled with the mounting fear. It was the first time for me to try zip, lining. To make things worse, I was scared of going to high places. I had tried to get over the unreasonable fear many; many times since it had kept me away from having fun with my friends. And I was particularly fed up with making excuses to cover up my fear of height. After breakfast, we set out in my dad's car. Along the way, the sun grew hotter, and the leather on the seats started to burn my legs while my parents were talking about the sport enthusiastically. But I was still absorbed in my fear. Eventually, we pulled up to a big park where our instructor was waiting for us “Good morning!” he said cheerfully. “So, have you all tried this sport before?” We shook our heads. I got more nervous while the instructor went over the safety instructions and warned us of the possible dangers of the sport. “All right it is time to hit the tails!” said the instructor after we fastened our safety belts. For a moment, I congratulated myself that he did not note my fear. “It is a really good beginning,” I told myself, “How happy I would be if I could make it.” 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When we were ready, my mom and dad were asked to go first. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, my turn came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
