B Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution as they started 2013 with a goal of losing weight. However setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input. That is we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) including in education has been discussed. For example researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases he gave students incentives based on input like reading certain books while in others the incentives were based on output like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly if you want to spend more time with your family don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run these new goals could become a habit. 24. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ . A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is dependent on too many things C. it is focused too much on the result D. it is based on actionable decisions 25. In Roland Fryer’s research some students did better than the others because ______ . A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books 26. According to the writer which of the following statements is a good goal? A. “I’ll study harder.” B. “I’ll give up desert.” C. “I’ll cut down my expense.” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family.” 27. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ . A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them C. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output D. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits C When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes. Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off. Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake. The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. “Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset,” says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. “It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.” The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“ Edison was great”, Oudiette says, “and now we have a lot more to explore.” 28. What does the underlined phrase “was on to something” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discovered the truth. B. Was absorbed in math puzzles. C. Started the experiment. D. Was engaged in laboratory work. 29. According to the research, the trick of promoting creativity lies in ________. A. gaining adequate deep sleep B. discovering the hidden rules of problems C. following Edison’s life style D. waking up right after nodding off to sleep 30. Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers? A. To evaluate their sleep efficiency. B. To measure their amount of sleep. C. To assess their levels of intelligence. D. To compare their creative thinking abilities. 31. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential application of the research findings C. A further explanation of the research methods. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. D Do you know that the oldest tree is a 5, 000-year old bristlecone pine (狐尾松) located in the forests of Nevada? Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet. The term old-growth refers to trees that are 150 years or older. This means that many of the trees on the Earth today are younger, smaller, and have shorter lifespans. As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木). There are some who claim that increased greenhouse gas emission is helping trees grow faster because CO2, is needed for photosynthesis. While some younger trees may benefit from this, we are seeing significantly more loss of forests than gain. Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect. Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species. As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems. Unfortunately, some endangered species are unable to adapt and go extinct. With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests? 32. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Why bacteria may attack old trees. B. What leads to the rising temperatures. C. Why old-growth forests are disappearing. D. How global warming causes natural disasters. 33. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Species. B. Older forests. C. Organisms. D. Roles organisms play. 34. The last sentence of the text is actually____________. A. a doubt B. a warning C. a blame D. a suggestion 35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To urge people to reduce gas emission. B. To explain the greenhouse effect on trees. C. To introduce the process of photosynthesis. D. To call on people to protect old-growth trees. 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。 What Friendship Means to Me When deciding what is most important in life, some people choose money, while others choose things like security and comfort. ___36__ I cannot imagine being without it.

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, and I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop. Picking up the sweet fragrance, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?” “But…but I do not carry money…” I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said. “Come in, I will cook you a bowl.” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!” The seller sighed, “Girl, why do you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?” I was really surprised after hearing that. Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. I thought she was supposed to take care of me and love me. On the way home, I thought in my head what I would say to my mother when I arrived home: “Mom, I’m sorry, I know it is my fault, please forgive me…” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右： 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Meanwhile many memories came back into my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年第二学期高中英语人教版（2019）期末 复习监测金卷（二） 考生注意： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分20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分，满分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。 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） 1.

However setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input. That is we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) including in education has been discussed. For example researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases he gave students incentives based on input like reading certain books while in others the incentives were based on output like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly if you want to spend more time with your family don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run these new goals could become a habit. 24. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ . A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is dependent on too many things C. it is focused too much on the result D. it is based on actionable decisions 25. In Roland Fryer’s research some students did better than the others because ______ . A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books 26. According to the writer which of the following statements is a good goal? A. “I’ll study harder.” B. “I’ll give up desert.” C. “I’ll cut down my expense.” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family.” 27. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ . A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them C. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output D. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文。作者介绍了减肥这样的事儿，不应关注目标，而应控制输入，也就是要注重过程中的具体的做法，例如每天吃什么，吃多少，如何锻炼。实验表明，当关注输入时，激励才发生作用。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To reach our goal of losing weight- the output, we need to control what we eat — the input. That is we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals.(为了达到我们减肥的目标——输出，我们需要控制我们吃的东西——输入。也就是说，我们倾向于关注输出，而不是控制输入。这是构建目标的糟糕方式)”可知，作者认为将减肥作为一个目标是错误的，因为它过于注重结果 。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In some cases he gave students incentives based on input like reading certain books while in others the incentives were based on output like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.(在一些些案例中，他根据学生的输入（如阅读某些书籍）给予奖励，而在另一些，奖励则基于学生的结果（如考试成绩）。他的主要发现是，基于过程输入的激励可以提高成就，但对产出没有影响)”可知，Roland Fryer把“input”（即阅读）和“output”（考试结果）作为两种激励变量，得到的结果是，有些学生表现更好是因为过程中由于阅读等收到奖励。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch ” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.(与其下定决心减肥，不如尝试一个切实可行的决心：“我午饭不再吃甜点”或“我每天步行20分钟”。制定一个专注于明确输入的目标可能比专注于结果更有效)”及第三段“Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control.(弗莱尔的结论是，强化输入可能更有效，因为学生不知道如何在考试中取得更好的成绩，除了像“更努力地学习”这样的一般规则。另一方面，阅读某些书籍是一项很好的任务，他们有更多的控制权)”及文章最后一段“If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly if you want to spend more time with your family don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run these new goals could become a habit.(如果你想减少开支，一个很好的目标是早上在家里煮咖啡，而不是去咖啡馆。这是一个明确的基于行动的目标，你可以很容易地衡量你的成功。少花钱不是一个目标，因为它太笼统了。同样，如果你想花更多的时间和你的家人在一起，不要止步于这个笼统的愿望。想一个可行的习惯，你可以采纳并坚持，比如每周三的家庭电影之夜。从长远来看，这些新目标可能会成为一种习惯)”可知，作者认为比较具体可行的，注重过程的目标是好的目标，笼统泛泛，只注重结果的目标不是好目标，在四个选项中B项“我不吃甜食了”是具体的目标，其他都是笼统的目标。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run these new goals could become a habit. (想一个可行的习惯，你可以采纳并坚持，比如每周三的家庭电影之夜。从长远来看，这些新目标可能会成为一种习惯)”可知，作者建议具体切实可行的，可以坚持成为习惯的做法。故选D项。 C When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes. Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off. Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake. The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. “Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset,” says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. “It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.” The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“ Edison was great”, Oudiette says, “and now we have a lot more to explore.” 28. What does the underlined phrase “was on to something” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discovered the truth. B. Was absorbed in math puzzles. C. Started the experiment. D. Was engaged in laboratory work. 29. According to the research, the trick of promoting creativity lies in ________. A. gaining adequate deep sleep B. discovering the hidden rules of problems C. following Edison’s life style D. waking up right after nodding off to sleep 30. Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers? A. To evaluate their sleep efficiency. B. To measure their amount of sleep. C. To assess their levels of intelligence. D. To compare their creative thinking abilities. 31. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential application of the research findings C. A further explanation of the research methods. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了研究人员通过复现爱迪生的方法发现，在打盹后马上醒来能促进人的创造力。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. (托马斯·爱迪生多少是对的。现在，100多年后，科学家们在实验室里重复了这个把戏，揭示出这位著名的发明家was on to something。按照他的方法，人们解决数学问题的几率增加了三倍)”可推知，前面说科学家们重复了这个把戏，后又说按照他的方法，人们解决数学问题的几率增加了三倍，所以此处表示爱迪生确实找到了一种方法。由此推知，划线词组was on to something和Discovered the truth.(发现了真相)意思相近。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off.(诀窍是在睡眠和清醒之间的过渡阶段醒来，就在深度睡眠之前。在这个过渡时期，我们不是完全清醒，但也不是深睡。它可能只有一分钟，就发生在我们开始打瞌睡的时候)”以及第三段中“By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.(通过记录大脑活动，他们发现那些在睡眠第一阶段被打断的人在找到问题隐藏的关键方面比那些保持清醒的人好三倍)”以及第四段中“The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. (即使在第一阶段只睡了15秒的人也会产生创造性的效果。但这个把戏对进入睡眠后期的人不起作用)”可知，促进创造力的诀窍在于在打盹后马上醒来。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.(通过记录大脑活动，他们发现那些在睡眠第一阶段被打断的人在找到问题隐藏的关键方面比那些保持清醒的人好三倍)”可知，研究人员记录睡眠者的大脑活动是为了比较他们的创造性思维能力。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.(研究团队还发现了一种与创造力提升阶段相关的大脑活动模式：与放松有关的被称为α的中等水平的慢频率脑电波，以及深度睡眠的标志——低水平的δ波。Oudiette说，当研究创造性解决问题的神经机制时，研究人员现在可以专注于这种大脑信号。该团队已经计划进行一项实验，通过实时监测人们的脑电波，帮助人们进入创造性区域)”可知，第五段主要讲了研究成果的潜在应用，能帮助人们进入创造性区域。故选B项。 D Do you know that the oldest tree is a 5, 000-year old bristlecone pine (狐尾松) located in the forests of Nevada? Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet. The term old-growth refers to trees that are 150 years or older. This means that many of the trees on the Earth today are younger, smaller, and have shorter lifespans. As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木). There are some who claim that increased greenhouse gas emission is helping trees grow faster because CO2, is needed for photosynthesis. While some younger trees may benefit from this, we are seeing significantly more loss of forests than gain. Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect. Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species. As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems. Unfortunately, some endangered species are unable to adapt and go extinct. With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests? 32. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Why bacteria may attack old trees. B. What leads to the rising temperatures. C. Why old-growth forests are disappearing. D. How global warming causes natural disasters. 33. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Species. B. Older forests. C. Organisms. D. Roles organisms play. 34. The last sentence of the text is actually____________. A. a doubt B. a warning C. a blame D. a suggestion 35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To urge people to reduce gas emission. B. To explain the greenhouse effect on trees. C. To introduce the process of photosynthesis. D. To call on people to protect old-growth trees. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用).

After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木). (由于气候变化导致地球温度升高，这对世界森林产生了意想不到的影响。当温度升高时，树木会关闭气孔以防止水分流失，而这反过来又会减缓光合作用的过程。因此，这些树较矮，生长缓慢，死亡率也很高。气候变化也增加了干旱和野火的可能性。野火过后，森林生态系统需要一段时间才能恢复，在某些情况下，森林会永久消失。受到压力的树木也容易受到细菌的攻击。最后，人类通过伐木改变了森林景观)”可知，第二段的主旨是为什么古老森林正在消失。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species.(古老森林具有更高的生物多样性，这是有益的，因为每种生物都可以发挥作用，而且此处物种种类繁多)”可知古老森林是许多物种的家园，以及划线词所在句“As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems”可知，随着古老森林的消失，曾经把古老森林称为“家园”的物种被迫搬迁，影响了这些生态系统的生物多样性。故划线词指的是“古老森林”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests?(随着树木的不断死亡，子孙后代会错过森林的奇观吗？)”结合文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。可推知，作者通过文章最后一句反问来警告人们失去古树的后果。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet.(不幸的是，许多珍贵的古树正开始从我们的星球上消失。)”和倒数第二段“Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect.(古老森林是碳的仓库，当它们死亡时，储存的二氧化碳被释放到空气中，加剧了温室效应)”结合文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们保护古树。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。 What Friendship Means to Me When deciding what is most important in life, some people choose money, while others choose things like security and comfort. ___36__ I cannot imagine being without it.

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, and I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop. Picking up the sweet fragrance, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl?” “But…but I do not carry money…” I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said. “Come in, I will cook you a bowl.” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!” The seller sighed, “Girl, why do you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?” I was really surprised after hearing that. Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. I thought she was supposed to take care of me and love me. On the way home, I thought in my head what I would say to my mother when I arrived home: “Mom, I’m sorry, I know it is my fault, please forgive me…” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右： 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Meanwhile many memories came back into my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Meanwhile many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favourite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized that I should return home immediately and say sorry to my mother. When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said: “oh, honey, thank God, you’re back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry? I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot...” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I’m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为和妈妈吵架跑了出去。之后她饿了，但是没带钱，幸运的是好心的店主给了她一碗面条，她因为感动而落泪。而店主知道后对她说，自己就给了你一碗面就让你这么感激，而你小时候母亲一直在照顾你，为什么你不感恩？你伤害了你妈妈吗？店主的话让作者开始反思自己。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“与此同时，许多回忆又涌上了我的脑海。”可知，第一段可描写作者妈妈是如何照顾作者，支持作者的，作者决定回家向妈妈道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“到家时，我看见妈妈坐在餐桌旁，又担心又累。”可知，第二段可描写作者回到家之后妈妈的反应和作者的行动及感受。 2.续写线索：回忆涌上心头——想到妈妈的照顾鼓励——准备向妈妈道歉——妈妈看见作者后表达关心——作者哭着低声道歉 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照顾：take care of/look after ②意识到：realize that/be aware that ③低声耳语：whisper to sb. through tears/whisper in someone’s ear 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful ②羞愧：be ashamed of oneself/take shame on oneself 【点睛】[高分句型1] I should be grateful for all she had done for me.
