Here’s where to stay to experience them. Mexico City, Mexico On November 4, a parade starts with thousands of dancers. “The best place to watch the parade is from a terrace on the Paseo de Reforma, where you can see the dancers and colours from above,” says Karla Gonzalez, director of the Mexico City tourism board. Oaxaca, Mexico This southern Mexico city is known for candlelit cemeteries on the Day of the Dead, and parades with dancers in the Jalatlaco neighborhood. “The city doesn’t sleep for three days,” says local tour guide Gabriel Sánchez. He takes guests to the cemetery in Santa Maria Atzompa, a village three miles from Oaxaca City, where the families go all out with candles and flowers. San Diego, California The first European settlement (定居点) in Southern California, Old Town San Diego is a seven-block state park with shopfronts dating back to the 18th century. It’s also the site of a long-running Day of the Dead celebration, with a crafts market and a candlelit parade to the El Campo Santo Cemetery on November 2, which dates to 1849. San Antonio, Texas This south Texas city was once a part of Mexico, known for its exciting Day of the Dead celebrations. In downtown’s Hemisphere Park, the festival brings a parade of boats lit with bright lights on the River Walk on the evening of October 27. You can also see a famous tourist draw on the south bank of the San Antonio River. 1. When does the parade take place in Mexico City? A. On October 10. B. On October 27. C. On November 2. D. On November 4. 2. What can you do in Old Town San Diego on the festival? A. Swim in the River Walk. B. Join the candlelight parade. C. Admire Hemisphere Park. D. Explore the unique rainforest. 3.

B Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago. One year, they posted a job opening for a Copernicus research center on the moon. Usually, their ideas were so absurd that people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke. That’s how their plan about Gmail was received when it was made public 20 years ago on April Fool’s Day. They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails. Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service. It would also automatically string together all of the communications about the same topic so they could be read as if it was a single conversation. It was such a surprising concept that shortly after The Associated Press published a story about Gmail late on the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004, readers began calling and emailing to inform the news agency that it had been fooled by the Google founders. But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted. As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones. “That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail. 4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean? A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical. 5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______. A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information C. were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together 6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004? A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public. C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true. 7. Which application came out first? A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs. C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture, as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 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。 You might always complain, “I want to build more muscle, increase my endurance, or just move about day-to-day life more easily, but I don’t know how to achieve the goals.” ____16____.

I’d never been on a horse in my life. Horses scare me. “It will be fun,” my kids said. “What if I fall off?” I wanted to add more, but I kept my mouth shut. I was trying to be a good sport. When we arrived, the coach gave me his gentlest horse. “Nothing to worry about. And kick your feet on the horse’s side to make him go,” he said. I hoped the horse had heard that, too. The horse may look gentle, but he was very big and tall. How on earth was I going to get on this horse using only one little stirrup (马镫) on the side? Well, it took my husband and three sons to do it, but they got me on that horse! Since the coach knew I had the gentlest horse, he placed me at the very end of the road. I was happy. If I looked silly sitting on this horse, everyone else would be in front of me and couldn’t watch me. We started out just fine. As we got into the woods, my horse was still very gentle. By the time all the other horses were out of the woods, my horse and I were still in the woods! I saw our youngest son waving to me in the distance. This seemed to be the longest ride with this boring horse and me. Slowly, we got out of the woods and were in a bean field. Suddenly, my horse stopped. Then I remembered one important thing the coach had told me. He said, “Don’t let the horse stop to eat the beans, because then the horse won’t want to go back to the barn (畜棚).” I looked down, and the horse was eating the beans. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I tried to stop him, but he kept on eating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the coach must have realized I was in trouble. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 CAACB 6~10 CBACB 11~15 ABCBC 16~20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 太和中学高一下学期第四次教学质量检测 英 语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.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。 4.本卷命题范围：人教版必修第一册至必修第三册。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted. As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones. “That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail. 4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean? A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical. 5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______. A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information C. were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together 6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004? A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public. C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true. 7. Which application came out first? A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了谷歌创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin喜欢在愚人节发布奇怪的计划，所以当他们提出Gmail的想法时，公众都以为是个玩笑，但出人意料的是，Gmail后来大为成功。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面的“people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke”可知，人们把这些想法当作笑话一笑了之，再结合第一段第一句“Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago.(谷歌联合创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin在25多年前创办公司后不久，就开始在每年愚人节宣布非常奇怪的计划)”可推出，他们在愚人节提出的想法非常奇怪、荒诞，absurd意为“荒谬的”，与strange意思最接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails.(他们表示，这将是一项免费的电子邮件服务，在空间用尽之前，每个账户将存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件)”可知，谷歌的Gmail能够存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件。由此可知，其他网络邮件服务存储的邮件数量小于Gmail。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted.(但美联社知道谷歌并不是在开关于Gmail的玩笑，因为美联社的一名记者被邀请到该公司看看他们在做什么。当时只有31岁的Page在他的办公室里向记者展示了Gmail的运行情况。Page预测说：“我认为人们真的会喜欢这个。”)”可知，美联社的记者现场考查了Gmail的有关情况，所以他们确信这个令人惊讶的消息是真实的。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service.(他们宣称，除了存储之外，Gmail还将配备谷歌的搜索技术，这样用户就可以快速找到存储在该服务上的旧电子邮件、照片或其他个人信息)”和第五段中的“After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications.(继Gmail之后，推出了带有文字处理应用程序的Google Maps和Google Docs)”可知，谷歌应用的出现顺序是：谷歌搜索、Gmail、Google Maps和Google Docs。故选C。 C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A. Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了一位希腊艺术家Maria Zafeiri与其工作室复制古希腊雕塑的故事，探讨了复制品与赝品的区别及对文化的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks.(我们的作品大多在世界各地的礼品店出售。博物馆也要求我们复制艺术品)”以及“It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.(当我们的雕像最终进入博物馆，成千上万的眼睛欣赏它们时，这是令人兴奋的。它们为希腊带来了更多的游客)”可知，他们的作品会出现在世界各地，也会出现在博物馆，尤其是进入博物馆的作品得到了欣赏的目光，为希腊带来了跟多的游客，这是令人兴奋的。由此可推知，对于自己的作品，她是感到骄傲的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829.(雅典国家考古博物馆于1829年开馆后不久，研究人员和艺术家就开始复制古希腊雕塑)”以及第四段内容“The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.(最初的复制品不是出于商业原因，而是出于科学原因。学者们想研究古人)”可知，1829年以后出现了对古希腊雕塑的复制，而最初的复制是出于科学研究原因，因此可推知，19世纪30年代复制的古希腊雕像的目标客户是学者，研究人员。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery, and removed it from view.(但是其他的复制品是如此的忠实准确，以至于它们最终出现在了洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆。2018年，博物馆确定其著名的Kouros雕像——据说可以追溯到公元前650年至480年，以600万美元购买——可能是一件赝品，并将其从视野中移除)”可知，该雕像被复制的如此忠实于原作，以致于被Getty Museum博物馆以600万美元购买，且非常著名。由此可推知，其复制者应该是一个技艺高超的艺术家。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段“I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention.(我认为伪造和复制的区别在于意图)”可知，在她看来，两者的区别在于创作者的意图和目的。故选D项。 D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture, as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 【答案】12 D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add.(由于蜜蜂表现出对水平结构的强烈偏好，螺旋结构的出现令人惊讶。“在摄像机的帮助下，我们发现这两种风格的平均建筑速率有明显差异。”研究人员补充道)”可知，摄像机发现水平结构和螺旋结构在建筑速率上有很大的差异。由此可推知，水平结构的风格受到蜜蜂的强烈偏好是因为它比螺旋结构建设起来更快。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的前半句话“The findings have surprised observers of animal culture(这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶)”可知，这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶，因为这些发现表明蜜蜂可以学习并代代相传不同的建筑传统。所以they指代前文中的“The findings”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.”(“昆虫培养被认为是不可能的。不到一个世纪前，文化被认为是人类独有的，”圣安德鲁斯大学的生物学家安德鲁·怀特说，他没有参与这项研究。“但这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。”)”可知，Andrew Whiten认为这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。由此可推知，他对这项新的研究持支持或赞许的态度。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations.(Viviana Di Pietro领导的一组生物学家对巴西400多组蜜蜂进行了两年的研究，他们报告说，蜜蜂和人类一样，能够学习新的传统，然后代代相传)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。所以“蜜蜂可以学习和保护文化传统”适合作文章的标题，既概括了蜜蜂的学习能力也涵盖了文化的传承方面。故选B。 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。 You might always complain, “I want to build more muscle, increase my endurance, or just move about day-to-day life more easily, but I don’t know how to achieve the goals.” ____16____.

I’d never been on a horse in my life. Horses scare me. “It will be fun,” my kids said. “What if I fall off?” I wanted to add more, but I kept my mouth shut. I was trying to be a good sport. When we arrived, the coach gave me his gentlest horse. “Nothing to worry about. And kick your feet on the horse’s side to make him go,” he said. I hoped the horse had heard that, too. The horse may look gentle, but he was very big and tall. How on earth was I going to get on this horse using only one little stirrup (马镫) on the side? Well, it took my husband and three sons to do it, but they got me on that horse! Since the coach knew I had the gentlest horse, he placed me at the very end of the road. I was happy. If I looked silly sitting on this horse, everyone else would be in front of me and couldn’t watch me. We started out just fine. As we got into the woods, my horse was still very gentle. By the time all the other horses were out of the woods, my horse and I were still in the woods! I saw our youngest son waving to me in the distance. This seemed to be the longest ride with this boring horse and me. Slowly, we got out of the woods and were in a bean field. Suddenly, my horse stopped. Then I remembered one important thing the coach had told me. He said, “Don’t let the horse stop to eat the beans, because then the horse won’t want to go back to the barn (畜棚).” I looked down, and the horse was eating the beans. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I tried to stop him, but he kept on eating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the coach must have realized I was in trouble. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I tried to stop him, but he kept on eating. Now he would never get back to the barn! What was I supposed to do? “Let’s see,” I talked to myself. “In order to make the horse go, you kick the horse on the sides with your feet.” So, I did that, but the horse didn’t move. What’s more, I didn’t think he liked it. He turned his head, looked at me and then pushed my foot with his mouth. I thought he might bite my foot, so I took my feet out of the stirrup. Finally, the coach must have -realized I was in trouble. I saw the coach, so did the horse, who suddenly got the message that he was in trouble. He made the decision that it was in his best interest to immediately stop eating the beans and get back to that barn as fast as he could. When I was seated on his back with my feet out of the stirrup, I must have looked pale. My family rushed to help me get off. They tried not to laugh. My only words were: “This is the ride of my life!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者让丈夫和三个儿子带自己去骑马，作者从没骑过马，教练把最温顺的一匹马给了作者，并告诉作者没什么好担心的，只要用脚踢马的侧面，让它走就行，作者骑着马走在最后面，穿过森林，来到一片豆子地，突然马停了下来，作者想起教练说过不要让马停下来吃豆子，作者低头一看，自己的马正在吃豆子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我试图阻止他，但他还是不停地吃。”可知，第一段可描写作者试图让马继续前进，但没成功。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，教练一定意识到我有麻烦了。”可知，第二段可描写教练赶来，马回到畜棚，家人也帮助作者下马。 2.续写线索：试图让马前进无果——马用嘴巴推作者的脚——脚离开马镫——教练赶来——马回畜棚——家人帮助下马 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回到：get back to/return to ③认为：think/figure 情绪类 ①大笑：laugh/burst into laughter ②喜欢：like/be fond of 【点睛】[高分句型1] I saw the coach, so did the horse, who suddenly got the message that he was in trouble.（由关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句和that引导的同位语从句） [高分句型2] When I was seated on his back with my feet out of the stirrup, I must have looked pale.（由when引导的状语从句） 1~5 CAACB 6~10 CBACB 11~15 ABCBC 16~20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
