It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up. It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.” Bruce’s friend Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedics tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor. one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously (同时). It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital. Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country. 4. What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible? A. The doctor’s first aid without delay. B. His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR. C. His volunteer experiences in the community center. D. The instant actions of his friends and the first responders. 5. Why did Bruce share his story in a video? A. To advocate the application of CPR. B. To appeal to more people to volunteer. C. To share his struggle for a normal life. D. To enhance people’s awareness of fitness. 6. What can we learn from Bruce’s story? A. Hard work will pay off one day. B. The knowledge of first aid counts. C Learning to live in the present matters. D. Ease your mind when panic arises. 7. What is the text? A. A research paper. B. A book review. C. A news report. D. A course advertisement. C I remember the night I fell in love. When I was 12 years old, a neighbor bought a coffee machine. The neighbor kid and I had eight cups each. Feeling fully alive, we even climbed onto the roof, awed by the shining stars. Forty-five years later, not a day has gone by that I haven’t renewed my love for the Bean. I’ve also come to understand how and why coffee fascinates me. Caffeine (咖啡因) evolved in certain plants to discourage insects from eating them, but the reason why many people consume it each day is this: When caffeine enters the brain, it competes with a chemical called adenosine (腺苷), whose job is to make you feel tired. When it is shot out, a receptor connects to it, signaling your brain that it’s time to sleep. That’s where caffeine comes in. With a similar shape, it fits into the receptors, leaving adenosine nowhere to park, because caffeine is already occupying its spots. In truth, caffeine doesn’t boost your energy — it simply prevents you from feeling worn out. To get to what really matters, though: Caffeine makes you happy and improves cognitive performance (that means it makes you smarter), as proven by research. Yet, caffeine is also a blessing to humanity. As Michael Pollan argues in his audiobook Caffeine: How Coffee and Tea Created the Modern World, caffeine’s arrival in the 17th century transformed the economy through enhanced productivity, innovation, and safety. So if you like electricity, running water, and lifesaving medicines, give credit for caffeine. Nothing in life is free, however. As you consume more caffeine over time, you will be reduced to a state of tolerance, where caffeine has a smaller effect after long-term use. However, this “problem” seems just an opportunity to enjoy more coffee. Recently, noticing the increase in my consumption, my wife proposed that I “take a little break” from coffee. The very suggestion made me angry. “Here’s an idea,” I replied. “Why don’t we just live apart for a year so it feels more like it did when we were first married?” An overreaction? I think not. 8. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his childhood experience? A. To stress the danger of drinking too much coffee. B. To recall the friendship with the neighbor kid. C. To tell the preciousness of a coffee machine. D. To show the start of his passion for coffee. 9. Why do many people consume caffeine daily? A. It can increase people’s energy. B. It can help people sleep better. C. It can block adenosine’s action. D. It can work better with receptors. 10. What does Michael Pollan’s audiobook mainly focus on? A. How coffee affects one’s cognition. B. How coffee drove social development. C. Why coffee lifts people’s spirits. D. When coffee came into daily diet. 11. How did the author react to his wife’s advice? A. He preferred keeping his coffee habit. B. He considered taking a good rest. C. He agreed to consume less coffee. D. He decided to separate from his wife. D How could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life changing. Gifts are so meaningful that some people identify “receiving gifts” as their primary “love language”. Indeed, on the surface, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to experience and create delight. But according to a 2023 survey, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language overall. The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might still be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. For instance, you don’t want to give someone a gag (恶作剧) gift when they’re giving you a sincere, heartfelt gift. Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness. There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy (疗法) lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state? One could imagine a reaction along the lines of “ Gosh, I’m sorry I’ve been so unpleasant to be around,” The message we send is not necessarily the same as the message received. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. If you are like me, you may have found yourself in a setting where you expect a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are headed your way. There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your insincerity, wounding them in the process. It’s not all bad of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way. 12. Gift giving is full of uncertainty because________. A. people prepare insincere gifts for others B. the gifts they give are of the same category C. mismatched gift-giving frequently happens D. people shop for gifts for different occasions 13. An example of the therapy lamp is used to illustrate________. A. trust can be earned through gift-giving B. misunderstanding can arise from gift-giving C. harmony can be achieved through gift-giving D. depression can be a byproduct of gift-giving 14. What makes a gift-receiver most anxious? A. Expressing disappointment over the gifts. B. Having pretended delight at the gifts uncovered. C. Expecting well-intentioned gifts from friends. D. Fearing to extend appreciation for the gifts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards gift giving? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Unclear. D. Objective. 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。 Autonomy-supportive parenting is an approach that focuses on building a child’s sense of agency in the world as well as a strong sense of self. ____16____ We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults. Therefore, instead of pushing adults’ way of thinking on children, adults should let kids do their own critical thinking and solve problems themselves, which will help them trust their abilities. Guide kids to find their own solution As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently. ____17____ While one child may find it easy to start their homework independently, the other might not be a self-starter. So we push our kids to the next level by knowing their skill level and meeting them there. Let kids find their own fun ____18____ It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times. That’s a huge burden on us! Letting children find their own thing to do when boredom strikes allows them to become self-sufficient and use their imagination to find fun on their own. Trust your child to act in their best interest (or fake it) Another characteristic of autonomy-supportive parenting is being open, curious, and flexible. Trusting children to be accountable to themselves (or acting like it) is the only way you will know if your child will be a responsible, independent adult. For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds. ____19____ Don’t forget to support yourself Once you grasp autonomy-supportive parenting, you’ll see opportunities to put it into practice. No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy. ____20____ If you get hard on yourself because you’re not measuring up, you’re more likely to return to the controlling practices. A. It may work. B. Our kids don’t know how to manage boredom. C. That can mean we have to support them in different ways. D. So forgive yourself if things don’t go right on a particular day. E. And they may not know yet, but it’s good for them to think about it. F. Some days are just going to be more autonomy-supportive than others. G. It’s trying to understand children’s experience of what’s going on right now. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My father, Paul Andrew Figura, was a die-hard fisherman.

They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson. Over there, they met the forester (护林人), Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends. Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave. The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave. When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance. “How are we going to get out now?” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope. Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave, and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there?” Victor shouted. “I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.” “Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!” 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。 Paragraph 1: Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 福州二中 2023-2024学年第二学期第四学段考试卷 高二年段 英语学科 (满分: 150分 考试时间: 120分钟) 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。 1.

It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up. It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.” Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedics tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor. one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously (同时). It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital. Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country. 4. What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible? A. The doctor’s first aid without delay. B. His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR. C. His volunteer experiences in the community center. D. The instant actions of his friends and the first responders. 5. Why did Bruce share his story in a video? A. To advocate the application of CPR. B. To appeal to more people to volunteer. C. To share his struggle for a normal life. D. To enhance people’s awareness of fitness. 6. What can we learn from Bruce’s story? A.

Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived.(布鲁斯的朋友杰克已经学会了如何进行心肺复苏术，他很快开始进行胸部按压。另一位朋友道格拨打了911，接线员带着他进行按压，直到急救人员赶到)”结合文章主要讲述了Bruce Richardson突发心脏疾病，幸亏朋友和急救人员的迅速行动让Bruce从严重的心脏病发作中幸存下来。而Bruce现在是一位热情的心肺复苏术倡导者。可知，布鲁斯的故事告诉我们急救知识很重要。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章主要讲述了Bruce Richardson突发心脏疾病，幸亏朋友和急救人员的迅速行动让Bruce从严重的心脏病发作中幸存下来。而Bruce现在是一位热情的心肺复苏术倡导者。可推知，文章是新闻报道。故选C。 C I remember the night I fell in love. When I was 12 years old, a neighbor bought a coffee machine. The neighbor kid and I had eight cups each. Feeling fully alive, we even climbed onto the roof, awed by the shining stars. Forty-five years later, not a day has gone by that I haven’t renewed my love for the Bean. I’ve also come to understand how and why coffee fascinates me. Caffeine (咖啡因) evolved in certain plants to discourage insects from eating them, but the reason why many people consume it each day is this: When caffeine enters the brain, it competes with a chemical called adenosine (腺苷), whose job is to make you feel tired. When it is shot out, a receptor connects to it, signaling your brain that it’s time to sleep. That’s where caffeine comes in. With a similar shape, it fits into the receptors, leaving adenosine nowhere to park, because caffeine is already occupying its spots. In truth, caffeine doesn’t boost your energy — it simply prevents you from feeling worn out. To get to what really matters, though: Caffeine makes you happy and improves cognitive performance (that means it makes you smarter), as proven by research. Yet, caffeine is also a blessing to humanity. As Michael Pollan argues in his audiobook Caffeine: How Coffee and Tea Created the Modern World, caffeine’s arrival in the 17th century transformed the economy through enhanced productivity, innovation, and safety. So if you like electricity, running water, and lifesaving medicines, give credit for caffeine. Nothing in life is free, however. As you consume more caffeine over time, you will be reduced to a state of tolerance, where caffeine has a smaller effect after long-term use. However, this “problem” seems just an opportunity to enjoy more coffee. Recently, noticing the increase in my consumption, my wife proposed that I “take a little break” from coffee. The very suggestion made me angry. “Here’s an idea,” I replied. “Why don’t we just live apart for a year so it feels more like it did when we were first married?” An overreaction? I think not. 8. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his childhood experience? A. To stress the danger of drinking too much coffee. B. To recall the friendship with the neighbor kid. C. To tell the preciousness of a coffee machine. D. To show the start of his passion for coffee. 9. Why do many people consume caffeine daily? A. It can increase people’s energy. B. It can help people sleep better. C. It can block adenosine’s action. D. It can work better with receptors. 10. What does Michael Pollan’s audiobook mainly focus on? A. How coffee affects one’s cognition. B. How coffee drove social development. C. Why coffee lifts people’s spirits. D. When coffee came into daily diet. 11. How did the author react to his wife’s advice? A. He preferred keeping his coffee habit. B. He considered taking a good rest. C. He agreed to consume less coffee. D. He decided to separate from his wife. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者与咖啡之间的深厚情感以及咖啡对人类的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I remember the night I fell in love. When I was 12 years old, a neighbor bought a coffee machine. The neighbor kid and I had eight cups each. Feeling fully alive, we even climbed onto the roof, awed by the shining stars. Forty-five years later, not a day has gone by that I haven’t renewed my love for the Bean. I’ve also come to understand how and why coffee fascinates me.(我记得我爱上咖啡的那个夜晚。当时我才12岁，邻居家买了咖啡机。我和邻居家的小孩都喝了八杯咖啡。我们兴奋不已，甚至爬上了屋顶，对闪烁的星星赞叹不已。四十五年过去了，我没有一天不对咖啡豆的爱意与日俱增。我也开始理解咖啡是如何以及为何让我着迷的)”可知，作者在文章开头提到自己12岁时和邻居小孩一起喝咖啡的经历，并强调自己从那时起就爱上了咖啡，每天都会重新燃起对咖啡的热爱。由此推知，作者提到自己童年的经历是为了展示自己对咖啡的热爱始于何时，即展示自己对咖啡的热爱始于童年时期。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When caffeine enters the brain, it competes with a chemical called adenosine (腺苷), whose job is to make you feel tired. When it is shot out, a receptor connects to it, signaling your brain that it’s time to sleep.(当咖啡因进入大脑时，它会与一种名为腺苷的化学物质竞争，这种化学物质的作用就是让你感到疲劳。当腺苷被释放时，一种受体就会与之结合，向你的大脑发出信号，表明是时候睡觉了)”和文章第三段“That’s where caffeine comes in. With a similar shape, it fits into the receptors, leaving adenosine nowhere to park, because caffeine is already occupying its spots. In truth, caffeine doesn’t boost your energy — it simply prevents you from feeling worn out.(这时咖啡因就派上了用场。由于形状相似，咖啡因可以嵌入到这些受体中，让腺苷无处可去，因为咖啡因已经占据了它的位置。事实上，咖啡因并不能增加你的能量——它只是防止你感到疲惫)”可知，咖啡因进入大脑后会与一种叫做腺苷的化学物质竞争，当咖啡因占据腺苷的位置时，腺苷就无法与受体结合，从而无法发出睡眠的信号。这表明咖啡因能够阻止腺苷的作用，这也是很多人每天消费咖啡因的原因。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“As Michael Pollan argues in his audiobook Caffeine: How Coffee and Tea Created the Modern World, caffeine’s arrival in the 17th century transformed the economy through enhanced productivity, innovation, and safety. (迈克尔·波伦在他的有声书《咖啡因：咖啡和茶如何塑造现代世界》中认为，咖啡因在17世纪的到来通过提高生产力、创新和安全性，改变了经济)”可知，Michael Pollan在他的有声读物《咖啡因：咖啡和茶如何创造了现代世界》中主要探讨了咖啡如何推动了社会的发展。他提到了咖啡因在17世纪的到来如何通过提高生产力、创新和安全性来改变经济。由此推知，这本书主要关注的是咖啡如何推动社会发展。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The very suggestion made me angry. “Here’s an idea,” I replied. “Why don’t we just live apart for a year so it feels more like it did when we were first married?” An overreaction? I think not.(这个提议让我很生气。“我有个主意，”我回答道。“我们为什么不分开住一年，这样感觉就像我们刚结婚时那样？”反应过度吗？我不这么认为)”可推知，作者更倾向于保持他的咖啡习惯，而不是听从妻子的建议减少咖啡的摄入量。故选A。 D How could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life changing. Gifts are so meaningful that some people identify “receiving gifts” as their primary “love language”. Indeed, on the surface, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to experience and create delight. But according to a 2023 survey, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language overall. The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might still be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. For instance, you don’t want to give someone a gag (恶作剧) gift when they’re giving you a sincere, heartfelt gift. Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness. There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy (疗法) lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state? One could imagine a reaction along the lines of “ Gosh, I’m sorry I’ve been so unpleasant to be around,” The message we send is not necessarily the same as the message received. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. If you are like me, you may have found yourself in a setting where you expect a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are headed your way. There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your insincerity, wounding them in the process. It’s not all bad, of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way. 12. Gift giving is full of uncertainty because________. A. people prepare insincere gifts for others B. the gifts they give are of the same category C. mismatched gift-giving frequently happens D. people shop for gifts for different occasions 13. An example of the therapy lamp is used to illustrate________. A. trust can be earned through gift-giving B. misunderstanding can arise from gift-giving C. harmony can be achieved through gift-giving D. depression can be a byproduct of gift-giving 14. What makes a gift-receiver most anxious? A. Expressing disappointment over the gifts. B. Having pretended delight at the gifts uncovered. C. Expecting well-intentioned gifts from friends. D. Fearing to extend appreciation for the gifts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards gift giving? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Unclear. D. Objective. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了送礼和收礼背后的复杂性和挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness.(送礼方式不匹配是造成尴尬的常见原因)”可知，送礼充满了不确定性，因为不匹配的送礼方式经常发生。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state?(收礼者对你的礼物的感受也有很大的不确定性。想象一下，一个亲密的朋友表现出一些季节性情感障碍的迹象，你给他一个治疗灯作为礼物。的确，他可能会很感激，表示这正是“他所需要的”。但如果他把这份礼物解读为对他情感状态的一种不受欢迎的评论呢？)”可知，尽管治疗灯可能是对方所需要的，但如果对方将其解读为对他们情感状态的评论，就可能会产生误解。由此推知，这个例子是用来说明从送礼中可能产生误解的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your insincerity, wounding them in the process.(知道很快就需要表达喜悦和感激之情会让人感到害怕。更糟糕的是，你可能会担心送礼者会察觉到你的不真诚，并在过程中伤害他们)”可推知，收礼者最担心的是表达对礼物的感激之情，担心被看出不真诚。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty.(问题是，送礼的场合充满了不确定性)”、文章第三段“There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver.(收礼者对你的礼物的感受也有很大的不确定性)”、文章第四段“Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts.(最糟糕的是，收到礼物会产生焦虑)”以及文章最后一段“It’s not all bad, of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way.(当然，这并非全然是坏事。如果做得仔细，赠送礼物便是一种将人们长久地紧密联系在一起的奇妙方式)”可知，作者在文章中既提到了送礼的积极面，也提到了送礼的消极面，如焦虑和不确定性。作者并没有表现出明显的支持或反对态度，而是客观地描述了送礼的各个方面。由此推知，作者对于送礼的态度是客观的。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。 Autonomy-supportive parenting is an approach that focuses on building a child’s sense of agency in the world as well as a strong sense of self. ____16____ We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults. Therefore, instead of pushing adults’ way of thinking on children, adults should let kids do their own critical thinking and solve problems themselves, which will help them trust their abilities. Guide kids to find their own solution As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently. ____17____ While one child may find it easy to start their homework independently, the other might not be a self-starter. So we push our kids to the next level by knowing their skill level and meeting them there. Let kids find their own fun ____18____ It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times. That’s a huge burden on us! Letting children find their own thing to do when boredom strikes allows them to become self-sufficient and use their imagination to find fun on their own. Trust your child to act in their best interest (or fake it) Another characteristic of autonomy-supportive parenting is being open, curious, and flexible. Trusting children to be accountable to themselves (or acting like it) is the only way you will know if your child will be a responsible, independent adult. For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds. ____19____ Don’t forget to support yourself Once you grasp autonomy-supportive parenting, you’ll see opportunities to put it into practice. No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy. ____20____ If you get hard on yourself because you’re not measuring up, you’re more likely to return to the controlling practices. A. It may work. B. Our kids don’t know how to manage boredom. C. That can mean we have to support them in different ways. D. So forgive yourself if things don’t go right on a particular day. E. And they may not know yet, but it’s good for them to think about it. F. Some days are just going to be more autonomy-supportive than others. G. It’s trying to understand children’s experience of what’s going on right now. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍使用自主支持型养育方法时需要注意的四个方面。 【16题详解】 根据下文“We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults.”（ 我们应该认识到，儿童的观点和经历与成人不同。）可知，空处承接下文说的是要理解孩子。故G选项“图理解孩子们对正在发生的事情的体验”切题。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently.”（ 任何有不止一个孩子的父母都会告诉你，孩子们的发展是不同的）可知，空处与上文为因果关系。故C选项“这可能意味着我们必须以不同的方式支持他们”切题，说明了家长应该怎么做。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times.”（ 这对孩子来说是一种伤害，而且需要父母随时成为他们的巡航指挥）可知，孩子们不知道如何应对无聊，所以带来了伤害。故B选项“我们的孩子不知道如何应对无聊”切题。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds.”（ 如果你问你的孩子什么时候是做家庭作业的最佳时间，并且他们告诉你是在早上上学前，那你就支持他们，让他们试一试，无论这听起来多么奇怪）可知，空处说明产生的效果。故A选项“这可能会奏效”切题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据“Don’t forget to support yourself”（ 别忘了支持自己）以及“No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy.”（ 管你的孩子多大，采用这种方式并不容易）可知，如果某一天事情不顺利，请原谅自己。故D选项“如果某一天事情不顺利，请原谅自己”切题。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My father, Paul Andrew Figura, was a die-hard fisherman.

They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson. Over there, they met the forester (护林人), Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends. Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave. The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave. When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance. “How are we going to get out now?” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope. Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave, and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there?” Victor shouted. “I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.” “Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!” 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。 Paragraph 1: Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home. After a little while, Victor got back to the entrance with a shovel and a flashlight. “Hey! I’m back!” he shouted, assuring the kids that he would rescue them. Then, he began digging through the rocks at the entrance. It wasn’t easy for one man to dig through the rocks, but he was trying his best. Meanwhile, William and his friends tried to stay calm and told Sarah not to worry. A few minutes later, William and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance, which made them excited. Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. Fortunately, Sarah felt better. Just then, medical workers arrived and examined the children carefully to make sure they were OK. William looked at Victor who was worn out and regretted making fun of him when they first met. He apologized to the great forester and thanked him for rescuing him and his friends. Later, the teenagers’ parents arrived and were grateful to Victor for his timely rescue. Also, the teenagers promised their parents they wouldn’t lie and take such a dangerous adventure again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。威廉和朋友们擅自进入学校附近森林里的一个洞穴里，洞穴入口却被掉落的岩石堵住，他们被困在了山洞里。被威廉嘲笑过的守林人维克多发现了孩子们落在洞外的书包，救出了他们。威廉感到十分愧悔，也非常感激维克多。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“维克多立即给急救中心打了电话，然后赶回家。”可知，第一段可描写维克多回家取了工具尝试营救孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，孩子们走出洞穴，在新鲜空气中深吸了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们成功得救，向维克多诚恳道歉并表示感谢。 2.续写线索：取工具——挖石头——挖通——得救——道歉致谢——家长赶到 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.返回：go back to/return to ②.确保：make sure/ensure ③.营救：rescue/save 情绪类 ①.感谢：show their appreciation/show their gratitude/be grateful ②.兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] A few minutes later, William and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance, which made them excited.
