It is a barrier island of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and it is a part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Ocracoke is fairly remote and can only be reached by public ferry (渡船), private boat or private plane. The beach is perfect for swimming, fishing, surfing, sun bathing and even camping. Sand Beach, Maine Located on Mt. Desert Island, Sand Beach offers visitors to Maine, an amazing beach destination. This beach is wonderfully sandy and is even a safe place to enjoy swimming. Bordered on both sides by rocky headlands, visitors can also appreciate the tide pools as well as some unique wildlife living in the headlines. Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii Widely considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States if not the world, Poipu Beach is located on the south shore of Kauai and is part of Poipu Beach Park. The beach is made up of a string of golden sandy crescent-shaped beaches. Visitors to Poipu can have hours of fun snorkeling, boogie-boarding, swimming, and surfing. South Ocean Beach, Maryland Located on the fascinating Assateague Island, South Ocean Beach is a beautiful Atlantic coast beach.

The tower, made entirely of sticks, is a sculpture built by Patrick Dougherty. Dougherty has created more than 200 stick sculptures all over the world. “I design my sculptures to look like they’ve always been there,” he says. And he likes people to get involved in his work. If they arrive during the three weeks he takes to build a sculpture, he lets them build, too. “I want my work to help people enjoy nature.” As a child, Dougherty learned to love nature while traveling through the woods. He would spend hours bending sticks into shelters for his brothers and sisters. When he grew up, he majored in art and learnt to make sculptures with clay. But it was too heavy to make the lines and shapes he imagined. One day, he watched thin, young trees waving in the wind. They reminded him of the sticks he built shelters with as a boy. Soon after, he began his first creation made out of sticks. To begin a sculpture, Dougherty digs holes and buries tall young trees in the ground for support. Then he weaves smaller sticks around them. He uses strings to hold and bend the twigs while he’s weaving. When he removes the string, the sticks stay in place. It usually takes four tons of sticks to build a sculpture, and Dougherty chooses materials that would otherwise be wasted. Dougherty’s sculptures last two to four years. But even after that, they serve a purpose. The wood is cut up into tiny pieces called mulch, which makes soil rich and helps new plants grow after it breaks down. 4. What does the description of kids playing in paragraph 1 function as? A. A vivid lead-in to the sculptor. B. A clear display of the sculpture. C. A brief introduction to the museum. D. A lively advertisement of the artistic work. 5. What can we infer about Dougherty from the text? A. He is likely to waste tons of sticks and other materials. B. He is devoted to the construction of all kinds of sculptures. C. He likes using twigs to replace the sticks before weaving them. D. He likes to invite visitors to build sculptures together with him. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Soil. B. Wood. C. Mulch. D. Architecture. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A natural art museum B. A friendly competitor C. Protecting the environment D. Bending sticks into sculptures 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了雕塑家Dougherty用本来要被废弃的树枝进行加工， 创作出了各式各样的雕塑作品。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Outside an art museum in Topeka, Kansas, some kids are playing happily in what looks like a large Hobbit House while others are walking through the house’s archway into a twisted twig (细枝) tower. The tower, made entirely of sticks, is a sculpture built by Patrick Dougherty.(在堪萨斯州托皮卡的一家艺术博物馆外，一些孩子在一个看起来像大霍比特人之家的地方快乐地玩耍，而另一些孩子则穿过房子的拱门进入一个扭曲的树枝塔。这座塔完全由木棍制成，是Patrick Dougherty的雕塑作品)”可推知，作者在第1段中对小孩子们玩耍的生动描述是为了引出雕塑家Dougherty。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“And he likes people to get involved in his work. If they arrive during the three weeks he takes to build a sculpture, he lets them build, too. “I want my work to help people enjoy nature.”(他喜欢人们参与到他的工作中来。如果他们在他制作雕塑所需的三周内到达，他就会让他们也来制作。“我希望我的工作能帮助人们享受大自然。”)”可推知，Dougherty喜欢邀请参观者与他一起用树枝做雕塑。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The wood is cut up into tiny pieces called mulch, which makes soil rich and helps new plants grow after”可知，树枝被粉碎成覆盖料后可以使土壤肥沃，并有助于新的植物生长。由此可知，it指的是“覆盖料（mulch）”。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Dougherty has created more than 200 stick sculptures all over the world.( Dougherty在世界各地创作了200多件木棒雕塑)”可知，本文主要讲述雕塑家Dougherty用树枝创作出各式各样的雕塑的故事。由此可知，D选项“把木棍弯成雕塑”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. Among the top choices are hearty dishes with high-fat meat, despite the fact that they may be unhealthy. Plant-based food, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to a report, two popular chains announced they were introducing items featuring meat substitutes (替代品) in China. “It advances our goal of bringing plant-based protein to the world,” said Ethan Brown, chief executive of Beyond Meat. The plant-based meat substitute has been popular in the US and the UK for years and offers meat-lovers a healthy alternative to an otherwise unhealthy eating habit. Despite the negative impacts on our health, the attractive taste and convenience of fast food have made it a popular choice across the world for decades. But with the introduction of the plant-based food, it’s likely that fast food won’t be considered “junk food” any more, as the calorie intake (热量摄取) for typical fast food items will be reduced. The meat substitute also provides rich protein and different nutrition. Another factor contributing to the product’s popularity is a new group of environmentally-aware consumers. On average producing 1 kilogram of meat sends out 36. 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide. With such a high carbon emission, many environmentalists choose to cut down on the intake of meat, making the plant-based diet characterized by environmental protection a popular choice. Introduced at the end of April in 2020, plant-based food seemed to come at a time when increased animal-human interactions are blamed for COVID-19. Therefore, the introduction of meatless dishes means a safer choice for consumers. Without doubt, the newcomers on the Chinese table represent a change in people’s eating habits that are heading toward healthy, environmentally-friendly and less animal-human interaction. 8. What is implied in the first paragraph? A. People’s tendency to eat healthily. B. The popularity of unhealthy eating. C. People’s addiction to plant-based meat. D. The charm of delicious food. 9. What can we learn about plant-based food? A. It has negative impacts on our health. B. It is nutritious but low in calories. C. It produces few greenhouse gases. D. It prevents disease transmission. 10. What can be inferred about the plant-based meat substitute? A. It has gone on sale worldwide. B. It might be badly accepted in China. C. It’s expected to be promising in China. D. It’ll raise the public’s environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The characteristics of healthy food. B. The popularity of plant-based food. C. Types of common plant-based food. D. The advantages of plant-based food. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了以植物蛋白为原料的植物肉，逐步走进公众视野。随着各知名餐饮企业陆续将植物肉列入自己的菜单之中，植物肉终于与中国消费者见面。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. Among the top choices are hearty dishes with high-fat meat, despite the fact that they may be unhealthy.(我们中的许多人都喜欢出去吃饭，享受美味的食物。其中最受欢迎的是含有高脂肪肉类的丰盛菜肴，尽管它们可能不健康)”可知，第一段暗示了不健康饮食的流行。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But with the introduction of the plant-based food, it’s likely that fast food won’t be considered “junk food” any more, as the calorie intake (热量摄取) for typical fast food items will be reduced. The meat substitute also provides rich protein and different nutrition.(但随着植物性食品的引入，快餐很可能不再被视为“垃圾食品”，因为典型快餐的卡路里摄入量将减少。肉类替代品还提供丰富的蛋白质和不同的营养)”可知，植物性食物营养丰富但热量低。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Without doubt, the newcomers on the Chinese table represent a change in people’s eating habits that are heading toward healthy, environmentally-friendly and less animal-human interaction.(毫无疑问，中国餐桌上的新来者代表着人们饮食习惯的改变，他们正朝着健康、环保和减少动物与人类互动的方向发展)”可知，植物性肉类替代品预计在中国会很有前景。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. Among the top choices are hearty dishes with high-fat meat, despite the fact that they may be unhealthy. Plant-based food, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to a report, two popular chains announced they were introducing items featuring meat substitutes (替代品) in China.(我们中的许多人都喜欢出去吃饭，享受美味的食物。其中最受欢迎的是含有高脂肪肉类的丰盛菜肴，尽管它们可能不健康。然而，植物性食物为食客提供了更明智的选择。据报道，两家受欢迎的连锁店宣布，他们将在中国推出肉类替代品)”结合文章主要说明了以植物蛋白为原料的植物肉，逐步走进公众视野。随着各知名餐饮企业陆续将植物肉列入自己的菜单之中，植物肉终于与中国消费者见面。可知，文章主要讲了植物性食物的优点。故选D。 D Whether foreign or familiar, movies can have great influence on our lives. A recent study by researchers from Ohio State University found that meaningful films can actually help us handle life’s challenges. Lead researcher Jared Ott and his colleagues made two lists of 20 films made after 1985. One list contained films described by users of the movie website IMDb using words such as meaningful and inspiring — including films like Hotel Rwanda and Up. Films included in the second list were considered less meaningful, like Ratatouille and Fight Club. The study included 1,098 participants of different ages who were hired online. Individuals were randomly selected to receive one of the two lists and then were asked to identify which movies they’d seen. They then were asked to respond to a survey regarding one of the films they’d seen. The survey questions are about how you feel about the film, how it matched your values and how it might have shifted what you think of lived experience. The results showed that participants who discussed meaningful movies were more likely to say the film helped them understand difficulties in life. These participants also felt more encouraged to help others. Researchers owe these positive effects to the more meaningful films’ emotional range, mixture of happiness and sadness and their ability to inspire viewers. “They help make people realize that life often involves both joy and gains, as well as sorrow and losses, and that the very coexistence of such elements is often what provides meaning in our lives,” Ott says. “It makes sense that a focus on more universal themes of what it means to be human might resonate (共鸣) with people in a more long-lasting way.” While a causal relationship between meaningful films and positive psychological well-being can’t necessarily be established through this research Ott points out that film is a readily available resource that can possibly help individuals achieve a greater sense of self. 12. How can Hotel Rwanda benefit movie-goers according to the study? A. By enriching their daily life. B. By improving their life skills. C. By helping them to live happily. D. By enabling them to be kind. 13. What were the participants asked to report in the study? A. How they deal with difficulties in life. B. What causes their confusion about a film. C. How a film impacts their views on life. D. Why a film makes them feel encouraged. 14. What is the purpose of Jared Ott’s words in paragraph 4? A. To evaluate the research. B. To explain the findings. C. To share his opinions on films. D. To stress the importance of films. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Meaningful movies are easily available nowadays B. Film is a medium where people can gain guidance C. Researchers confirm the advantages of seeing films D. Meaningful movies help deal with life’s challenges 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，有意义的电影实际上可以帮助我们应对生活中的挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One list contained films described by users of the movie website IMDb using words such as meaningful and inspiring—including films like Hotel Rwanda and Up.(其中一份名单上的电影是由电影网站IMDb的用户用“有意义”和“鼓舞人心”等词描述的，其中包括《卢旺达酒店》和《飞屋环游记》等电影)”可知，根据这项研究，《卢旺达酒店》使电影观众变得善良。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They then were asked to respond to a survey regarding one of the films they’d seen. The survey questions are about how you feel about the film, how it matched your values and how it might have shifted what you think of lived experience.(然后，他们被要求回答一项关于他们看过的一部电影的调查。调查问题是关于你对这部电影的感觉，它是否符合你的价值观，以及它如何改变了你对生活经历的看法)”可知，参与者被要求在研究中报告一部电影如何影响他们对生活的看法。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““They help make people realize that life often involves both joy and gains, as well as sorrow and losses, and that the very coexistence of such elements is often what provides meaning in our lives,” Ott says. “It makes sense that a focus on more universal themes of what it means to be human might resonate (共鸣) with people in a more long-lasting way.”(奥特说:“它们帮助人们意识到，生活往往既有喜悦也有收获，也有悲伤和失去，而正是这些元素的共存，往往为我们的生活提供了意义。关注更普遍的关于人类意义的主题，可能会以更持久的方式与人们产生共鸣，这是有道理的。”)”可知，第4段Jared Ott的话的目的是解释调查结果。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether foreign or familiar, movies can have great influence on our lives. A recent study by researchers from Ohio State University found that meaningful films can actually help us handle life’s challenges.(无论是国外的还是熟悉的，电影对我们的生活都有很大的影响。俄亥俄州立大学的研究人员最近的一项研究发现，有意义的电影实际上可以帮助我们应对生活中的挑战)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明，有意义的电影实际上可以帮助我们应对生活中的挑战。可知，D选项“有意义的电影有助于应对生活中的挑战”最符合文章标题。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。 Languages disappear for many reasons. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in with new environment. ___16___ Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages. The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level. For example a “critically endangered” language is one that even grandparents don’t speak often. New York’s Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An “extinct” language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaska’s Eyak language is one example. ___17___ Different languages contribute to cultural diversity. ___18___ Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it rains not cats and dogs, but old wives and walking sticks. The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. ___19___ However, its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback, it’ll probably get its start in schools. For nearly 100 years, public schools in Hawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language. Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond. ___20___ At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers. A. The last person who spoke it died in 2008. B. Why should we save endangered languages? C. With just 5 speakers left, it is absolutely endangered. D. Saving these languages helps us understand other cultures. E. Can a language with zero native speakers come back to life? F. Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language. G. The nonprofit group finds native speakers and records their stories. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了语言消失的原因以及语言对文化的作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Languages disappear for many reasons. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in with new environment.(语言消失的原因有很多。有时年轻一代停止学习一门语言是因为父母想让孩子适应新的环境)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在分析语言消失的原因。故F选项“有时社会强迫少数民族放弃他们的语言”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level. For example, a “critically endangered” language is one that even grandparents don’t speak often. New York’s Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An “extinct” language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaska’s Eyak language is one example.(联合国根据危险程度对濒危语言进行了排名。例如，一种“极度濒危”的语言是连祖父母都不常说的语言。纽约的奥农达加语就是一个例子，只剩下50个使用者。一种“灭绝”的语言没有使用者。它永远消失了。阿拉斯加的埃亚克语就是一个例子)”可知，本句承接上文，说明埃亚克语消失的具体情况。故A选项“最后一个说这种语言的人死于2008年”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Different languages contribute to cultural diversity.(不同的语言促进了文化的多样性)”以及后文“Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it rains not cats and dogs, but old wives and walking sticks.(语言可以显示一个社会如何看待这个世界以及它所看重的是什么。一种语言也可能以一种有趣的方式描述某事。在威尔士，下雨的不是“猫和狗”，而是“老太太和拐杖”)”可知，本句承接上文，说明语言对于文化多样性具体作用。故D选项“保存这些语言有助于我们了解其他文化”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing.(濒危语言联盟希望拯救语言免于消失)”可知，本句承接上文，解释说明The Endangered Language Alliance这个组织的作用。故G选项“这个非营利组织寻找母语人士并记录他们的故事”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据后文“At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers.(至少有一个是这样。1881年，犹太语言学家Eliezer Ben-Yehuda让有着3000年历史的希伯来语重获新生。今天，它是以色列的官方语言之一，有超过400万人使用)”可知，后文主要列举了一个关于让语言复活的例子，E选项中back to life对应后文back to life。故E选项“一门没有母语使用者的语言能复活吗？”符合语境，故选E。 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。 Whenever we hear about the homeless, most of us think of the developing countries.

He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him. “Kristie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me—something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life. Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work? Far from manly! Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束带) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me 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。 Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. He immediately came to my aid. He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre. After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者因为家里新收养的孩子，觉着母亲不再关注自己，觉得新收养的孩子偷了母亲对自己的爱而内心备受伤害。却在一次戏剧演出中，自己的裙子束带松了，这个男孩帮助了作者，避免了在舞台上裙子掉落的尴尬。通过这件事，作者也才意识到家里有了这个新成员也是一件不错的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“在那时，亨利察觉出了我的尴尬。”可知，第一段可描写亨利如何帮助作者避免尴尬和作者的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，我找到了亨利，并感激地拍了拍他的手臂。”可知，第二段可描写作者对亨利的感谢和感悟。 2.续写线索：裙子束带松了，察觉尴尬——帮助系紧，避免尴尬——内心被温暖——演出后表示感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：come to one’s aid/give sb. a hand ②改变：change/alter ③将……视为：treat…as/regard....as 情绪类 ①后悔：regret/feel sorry for ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt.(运用了as if引导的表语从句) 【高分句型2】Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different.(运用了虚拟语气) 听力1～5 AACBC 6～10 ACCAB 11～15 ABCBA 16～20 BABBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024年度高二年级下学期期末考试模拟卷 英语试题 （120分钟 150分） 考试范围：必修第一至第三册20%；选择性必修第一至第四册80% 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Ocracoke Beach, North Carolina Ocracoke Island has 16 miles of undeveloped sandy shoreline. It is a barrier island of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and it is a part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Ocracoke is fairly remote and can only be reached by public ferry (渡船), private boat or private plane. The beach is perfect for swimming, fishing, surfing, sun bathing and even camping. Sand Beach, Maine Located on Mt. Desert Island, Sand Beach offers visitors to Maine, an amazing beach destination. This beach is wonderfully sandy and is even a safe place to enjoy swimming. Bordered on both sides by rocky headlands, visitors can also appreciate the tide pools as well as some unique wildlife living in the headlines. Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii Widely considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States if not the world, Poipu Beach is located on the south shore of Kauai and is part of Poipu Beach Park. The beach is made up of a string of golden sandy crescent-shaped beaches. Visitors to Poipu can have hours of fun snorkeling, boogie-boarding, swimming, and surfing.

B Outside an art museum in Topeka, Kansas, some kids are playing happily in what looks like a large Hobbit House while others are walking through the house’s archway into a twisted twig (细枝) tower. The tower, made entirely of sticks, is a sculpture built by Patrick Dougherty. Dougherty has created more than 200 stick sculptures all over the world. “I design my sculptures to look like they’ve always been there,” he says. And he likes people to get involved in his work. If they arrive during the three weeks he takes to build a sculpture, he lets them build, too. “I want my work to help people enjoy nature.” As a child, Dougherty learned to love nature while traveling through the woods. He would spend hours bending sticks into shelters for his brothers and sisters. When he grew up, he majored in art and learnt to make sculptures with clay. But it was too heavy to make the lines and shapes he imagined. One day, he watched thin, young trees waving in the wind. They reminded him of the sticks he built shelters with as a boy. Soon after, he began his first creation made out of sticks. To begin a sculpture, Dougherty digs holes and buries tall young trees in the ground for support. Then he weaves smaller sticks around them. He uses strings to hold and bend the twigs while he’s weaving. When he removes the string, the sticks stay in place. It usually takes four tons of sticks to build a sculpture, and Dougherty chooses materials that would otherwise be wasted. Dougherty’s sculptures last two to four years. But even after that, they serve a purpose. The wood is cut up into tiny pieces called mulch, which makes soil rich and helps new plants grow after it breaks down. 4. What does the description of kids playing in paragraph 1 function as? A. A vivid lead-in to the sculptor. B. A clear display of the sculpture. C. A brief introduction to the museum. D. A lively advertisement of the artistic work. 5. What can we infer about Dougherty from the text? A. He is likely to waste tons of sticks and other materials. B. He is devoted to the construction of all kinds of sculptures. C. He likes using twigs to replace the sticks before weaving them. D. He likes to invite visitors to build sculptures together with him. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Soil. B. Wood. C. Mulch. D. Architecture. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A natural art museum B. A friendly competitor C. Protecting the environment D. Bending sticks into sculptures C Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. Among the top choices are hearty dishes with high-fat meat, despite the fact that they may be unhealthy. Plant-based food, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to a report, two popular chains announced they were introducing items featuring meat substitutes (替代品) in China. “It advances our goal of bringing plant-based protein to the world,” said Ethan Brown, chief executive of Beyond Meat. The plant-based meat substitute has been popular in the US and the UK for years and offers meat-lovers a healthy alternative to an otherwise unhealthy eating habit. Despite the negative impacts on our health, the attractive taste and convenience of fast food have made it a popular choice across the world for decades. But with the introduction of the plant-based food, it’s likely that fast food won’t be considered “junk food” any more, as the calorie intake (热量摄取) for typical fast food items will be reduced. The meat substitute also provides rich protein and different nutrition. Another factor contributing to the product’s popularity is a new group of environmentally-aware consumers. On average producing 1 kilogram of meat sends out 36. 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide. With such a high carbon emission, many environmentalists choose to cut down on the intake of meat, making the plant-based diet characterized by environmental protection a popular choice. Introduced at the end of April in 2020, plant-based food seemed to come at a time when increased animal-human interactions are blamed for COVID-19. Therefore, the introduction of meatless dishes means a safer choice for consumers. Without doubt, the newcomers on the Chinese table represent a change in people’s eating habits that are heading toward healthy, environmentally-friendly and less animal-human interaction. 8. What is implied in the first paragraph? A. People’s tendency to eat healthily. B. The popularity of unhealthy eating. C. People’s addiction to plant-based meat. D. The charm of delicious food. 9. What can we learn about plant-based food? A. It has negative impacts on our health. B. It is nutritious but low in calories. C. It produces few greenhouse gases. D. It prevents disease transmission. 10. What can be inferred about the plant-based meat substitute? A. It has gone on sale worldwide. B. It might be badly accepted in China. C. It’s expected to be promising in China. D. It’ll raise the public’s environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The characteristics of healthy food. B. The popularity of plant-based food. C. Types of common plant-based food. D. The advantages of plant-based food. D Whether foreign or familiar, movies can have great influence on our lives. A recent study by researchers from Ohio State University found that meaningful films can actually help us handle life’s challenges. Lead researcher Jared Ott and his colleagues made two lists of 20 films made after 1985. One list contained films described by users of the movie website IMDb using words such as meaningful and inspiring — including films like Hotel Rwanda and Up. Films included in the second list were considered less meaningful, like Ratatouille and Fight Club. The study included 1,098 participants of different ages who were hired online. Individuals were randomly selected to receive one of the two lists and then were asked to identify which movies they’d seen. They then were asked to respond to a survey regarding one of the films they’d seen. The survey questions are about how you feel about the film, how it matched your values and how it might have shifted what you think of lived experience. The results showed that participants who discussed meaningful movies were more likely to say the film helped them understand difficulties in life. These participants also felt more encouraged to help others. Researchers owe these positive effects to the more meaningful films’ emotional range, mixture of happiness and sadness and their ability to inspire viewers. “They help make people realize that life often involves both joy and gains, as well as sorrow and losses, and that the very coexistence of such elements is often what provides meaning in our lives,” Ott says. “It makes sense that a focus on more universal themes of what it means to be human might resonate (共鸣) with people in a more long-lasting way.” While a causal relationship between meaningful films and positive psychological well-being can’t necessarily be established through this research, Ott points out that film is a readily available resource that can possibly help individuals achieve a greater sense of self. 12. How can Hotel Rwanda benefit movie-goers according to the study? A. By enriching their daily life. B. By improving their life skills. C. By helping them to live happily. D. By enabling them to be kind. 13. What were the participants asked to report in the study? A. How they deal with difficulties in life. B. What causes their confusion about a film. C. How a film impacts their views on life. D. Why a film makes them feel encouraged. 14. What is the purpose of Jared Ott’s words in paragraph 4? A. To evaluate the research. B. To explain the findings. C. To share his opinions on films. D. To stress the importance of films. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Meaningful movies are easily available nowadays B. Film is a medium where people can gain guidance C. Researchers confirm the advantages of seeing films D. Meaningful movies help deal with life’s challenges 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。 Languages disappear for many reasons. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in with new environment. ___16___ Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages. The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level. For example, a “critically endangered” language is one that even grandparents don’t speak often. New York’s Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An “extinct” language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaska’s Eyak language is one example. ___17___ Different languages contribute to cultural diversity. ___18___ Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it rains not cats and dogs, but old wives and walking sticks. The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. ___19___ However, its efforts are limited.

He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him. “Kristie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me—something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life. Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work? Far from manly! Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束带) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me 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。 Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5 AACBC 6～10 ACCAB 11～15 ABCBA 16～20 BABBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
