B We were a diverse group of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat with our collars (衣领) up to our ears, lost in our own thoughts and the dead silence swept over the whole bus. One of the passengers was a small old man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (驼背) , boarded the bus with some difficulty and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled looking around the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded politely. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning” in reply. The following weeks we were more alert. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning the senior wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — hopefully — on holiday somewhere. The next Monday the old man was waiting at the stop. With the help of the regular passengers, he easily boarded the bus and yelled out “good morning” to everyone around him, wearing a big smile on his face. Everyone burst out laughing, feeling what the simple words brought on the bus. 24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. The passengers were sleepy during the ride. B. The passengers were indifferent to each other. C. The passengers talked in a low voice with each other. D. The passengers took the bus to the centre for senior citizens. 25. How did the people on the bus react to the old man? A. The driver didn’t respond to his first “good morning”. B. They came to care about the old man as time went by. C. They noticed the old man the first time he boarded the bus. D. They ignored the constant “good morning” from the old man at first. 26. Which of the following can best describe the old man according to the text? A. Caring but awkward. B. Easy-going and talkative. C. Warm and friendly. D. Considerate and optimistic. 27. What can be the best title of the text? A. The Diverse Passengers on a Bus B. The Magic of “Good Morning” C. The Amazing Friendship on a Bus D. An Impressive Senior with a Stoop C A moose, a deer and a fox walk into a tunnel. It might sound like the set up for a joke, but it’s a scene that wildlife ecologist Patricia Cramer captured while studying how animals use wildlife crossings. Wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞) kill millions of animals each year, cause massive property damage and result in thousands of human injuries and hundreds of deaths. And as climate change causes more animals to seek suitable habitat, wildlife crossings can help them adapt. “Crossing structures are really important to help wildlife move about,” Cramer said. “We’ve put roads and vehicles through their homes.” Cramer has been researching how wildlife and highways interact for nearly 20 years and she is the founder and director of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute, which works with state and local governments to site and design wildlife crossings. Camera traps and other monitoring techniques help her to better understand how the structures are used by different species—and there are many. Her list begins with small animals like salamanders, frogs and turtles. Many of these move about in the spring to breed, and roads take a terrible toll. Research by Cramer and others shows that within just a few years, a wildlife crossing structure can reduce collisions along the nearby stretch of highway by 75 to 90 percent. That has helped Cramer make an economic argument for building structures. “They are a cost-effective way of addressing the problem from the human side,” she said, pointing out the human toll from collisions and vehicle damage. Last year, the U. S. Department of Transportation announced a Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program with $350 million in funding available to states and tribal governments. Cramer and more than a dozen other wildlife and highway experts last year issued a statement urging officials to put that money toward developing “climate-informed” wildlife crossings. 28. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. make a comparison B. present an argument C. introduce the topic D. propose a definition 29. What is the role of Patricia Cramer's Wildlife Connectivity Institute? A. Building wildlife crossing structures. B Collecting funds for wildlife conservation. C. Monitoring wildlife interactions with highways. D. Researching the impact of climate change on wildlife. 30. What function is expected of the wildlife crossings? A. To reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. B. To study the behavior of wild animals. C. To provide a safe place for animals to play. D. To create natural habitats for different species. 31. What is Cramer's attitude toward wildlife crossings? A. Unsatisfied. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. Generally a childhood phenomenon, myopia happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back. Eyes have a “stop signal” so that they grow proportionally (成比例地) with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors, which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, making them too big for the optics (光学) . The mismatch between the eyeballs and the optics leads to far-off objects looking out of focus. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Natural light is essential for healthy eye development, says Schwartz. Exposure (接触) to natural light promotes the release of dopamine, which helps regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. That said, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast (对比) — like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background, says Schwartz. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a darkroom might cause more eye growth in children. Researchers are working on ways to slowdown rising myopia rates. You can also reduce eye tiredness by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light (soft background light, plus a task light) , choosing non-glare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks. 32. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Bright. B. Normal. C. Unclear. D. Important. 33. What can we learn about “stop signal” from the second paragraph? A. It reduces eye tiredness. B. It leads to more eye growth. C. It helps the development of the head. D. It controls the overgrowth of the eyeballs. 34. What is the main cause of myopia according to the text? A. High contrast of light. B. Increased use of screens. C. Overly outdoor activities. D. Lack of natural light exposure. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Tips to protect eyesight. B. Reasons for eye tiredness. C. Features of background light. D. Problems we are faced with. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分 12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Challenging, fun and engaging hobbies have the power to make us happier and healthier. ___36___.

I left my brother in the living room and went to get something to drink. As I was pouring some orange juice, I heard something break. First, I looked in to see if my father had woken up, and he hadn’t. Then I quickly ran to see what had happened. When I went into the living room, I was shocked. My brother had broken my mother’s favourite vase. “What did you do?” I asked. “I broke it!” My brother answered. “It was an accident!” Knowing that he was shocked and frightened, and not wanting him to get in trouble, I did what any sister would do. I tried to help him. I quickly ran and got some glue. I didn’t know what time my mother was going to be back or when my father was going to wake up, so I tried to hurry. I frantically (手忙脚乱地) gathered up all of the broken pieces and started to glue them together. It took me an hour but I finally fixed the vase. Then came the real disaster. “Oh my God! Oh my God!” I shouted. I had fixed the vase, but I had accidentally glued my hair to it! While my brother looked at me like I was some kind of fool, I carried the vase with my hair attached to it into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. “My beautiful hair!” I cried. Realizing that there was no way to pull my hair from the vase, I grabbed a pair of scissors. With every single strand (缕) of hair that I cut, I cried again. My hair was ruined and the vase looked as if a wig was attached to it! As I was leaving the bathroom with my ridiculous new hairdo, I heard a key turn in the front door. 注意： 1. 续写总词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother was back! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My brother, sensing my tension, stepped forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 秘密★启用前【考试时间: 2024年6月25 日14: 30—16: 30】 2023～2024学年度下期高2023 级期末联考 英 语 考试时间120分钟，满分150分 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必在答题卡上将自己的姓名、座位号和准考证号用0. 5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，考生考试条形码由监考老师粘贴在答题卡上的“贴条形码区”。 2. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡上对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后再填涂其它答案；非选择题用0. 5 毫米黑色签字笔在答题卡的对应区域内作答，超出答题区域答题的答案无效；在草稿纸上、试卷上答题无效。 3. 考试结束后由监考老师将答题卡收回。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will the speakers get to Gemma’s?

During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat with our collars (衣领) up to our ears, lost in our own thoughts and the dead silence swept over the whole bus. One of the passengers was a small old man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (驼背) , boarded the bus with some difficulty and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled looking around the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded politely. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning” in reply. The following weeks we were more alert. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning the senior wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — hopefully — on holiday somewhere. The next Monday the old man was waiting at the stop. With the help of the regular passengers, he easily boarded the bus and yelled out “good morning” to everyone around him, wearing a big smile on his face. Everyone burst out laughing, feeling what the simple words brought on the bus. 24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. The passengers were sleepy during the ride. B. The passengers were indifferent to each other. C. The passengers talked in a low voice with each other. D. The passengers took the bus to the centre for senior citizens. 25. How did the people on the bus react to the old man? A The driver didn’t respond to his first “good morning”. B. They came to care about the old man as time went by. C. They noticed the old man the first time he boarded the bus. D. They ignored the constant “good morning” from the old man at first. 26. Which of the following can best describe the old man according to the text? A. Caring but awkward. B. Easy-going and talkative. C. Warm and friendly. D. Considerate and optimistic. 27. What can be the best title of the text? A. The Diverse Passengers on a Bus B. The Magic of “Good Morning” C. The Amazing Friendship on a Bus D. An Impressive Senior with a Stoop 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了一位友好的老人每天在乘坐公交车时都与乘客用“早上好”打招呼，改变了车内人与人之间冷漠的关系。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We were a diverse group of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat with our collars (衣领) up to our ears, lost in our own thoughts and the dead silence swept over the whole bus.(33年前的那个夏天，我们是一群形形色色的人，每天都坐公交车。在从郊区出发的早班车上，我们坐在那里，衣领直竖到耳朵，沉浸在自己的思绪中，死一般的寂静笼罩了整辆车)”可知，公交车上一片死寂，乘客们都陷入自己的思考，彼此没有交流，由此推断出乘客们彼此很冷漠。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning the senior wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully—on holiday somewhere.(夏天过去了，秋天即将来临，一天早上，这位大四学生没有在他常去的车站等他。第二天和第三天他都不在，我们开始怀疑他是生病了，还是希望他去什么地方度假了)”可知乘客们想要了解老人的动向，开始关心老人了。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next Monday the old man was waiting at the stop. With the help of the regular passengers, he easily boarded the bus and yelled out “good morning” to everyone around him, wearing a big smile on his face. Everyone burst out laughing, feeling what the simple words brought on the bus.(第二个星期一，老人在车站等着。在老乘客的帮助下，他轻松地上了车，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，向周围的人喊着“早上好”。每个人都笑了起来，感受着这句简单的话给公共汽车带来了什么)”以及纵观全文可知，一位身有残疾的老人在乘坐公交车时每天都与乘客用“早上好”打招呼，改变了车内人与人之间冷漠的关系。从而推断出老人是热心友好的。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The next Monday the old man was waiting at the stop. With the help of the regular passengers, he easily boarded the bus and yelled out “good morning” to everyone around him, wearing a big smile on his face. Everyone burst out laughing, feeling what the simple words brought on the bus.(第二个星期一，老人在车站等着。在老乘客的帮助下，他轻松地上了车，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，向周围的人喊着“早上好”。每个人都笑了起来，感受着这句简单的话给公共汽车带来了什么)”以及纵观全文可知，一位身有残疾的老人在乘坐公交车时每天都与乘客用“早上好”打招呼，改变了车内人与人之间冷漠的关系。所以B项“The Magic of “Good Morning”(“早上好”的魔力)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C A moose, a deer and a fox walk into a tunnel. It might sound like the set up for a joke, but it’s a scene that wildlife ecologist Patricia Cramer captured while studying how animals use wildlife crossings. Wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞) kill millions of animals each year, cause massive property damage and result in thousands of human injuries and hundreds of deaths. And as climate change causes more animals to seek suitable habitat, wildlife crossings can help them adapt. “Crossing structures are really important to help wildlife move about,” Cramer said. “We’ve put roads and vehicles through their homes.” Cramer has been researching how wildlife and highways interact for nearly 20 years, and she is the founder and director of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute, which works with state and local governments to site and design wildlife crossings. Camera traps and other monitoring techniques help her to better understand how the structures are used by different species—and there are many. Her list begins with small animals like salamanders, frogs and turtles. Many of these move about in the spring to breed, and roads take a terrible toll. Research by Cramer and others shows that within just a few years, a wildlife crossing structure can reduce collisions along the nearby stretch of highway by 75 to 90 percent. That has helped Cramer make an economic argument for building structures. “They are a cost-effective way of addressing the problem from the human side,” she said, pointing out the human toll from collisions and vehicle damage. Last year, the U. S. Department of Transportation announced a Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program with $350 million in funding available to states and tribal governments. Cramer and more than a dozen other wildlife and highway experts last year issued a statement urging officials to put that money toward developing “climate-informed” wildlife crossings. 28. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. make a comparison B. present an argument C. introduce the topic D. propose a definition 29. What is the role of Patricia Cramer's Wildlife Connectivity Institute? A. Building wildlife crossing structures. B. Collecting funds for wildlife conservation. C. Monitoring wildlife interactions with highways. D. Researching the impact of climate change on wildlife. 30. What function is expected of the wildlife crossings? A. To reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. B. To study the behavior of wild animals. C. To provide a safe place for animals to play. D. To create natural habitats for different species. 31. What is Cramer's attitude toward wildlife crossings? A. Unsatisfied. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍野生动物生态学家帕特里夏·克雷默研究发现野生动物过境点是解决减少附近的公路碰撞事故的一个非常有效的办法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A moose, a deer and a fox walk into a tunnel. It might sound like the set up for a joke, but it's a scene that wildlife ecologist Patricia Cramer captured while studying how animals use wildlife crossings.”（只驼鹿，一只鹿和一只狐狸走进隧道。这听起来像是一个笑话，但这是野生动物生态学家帕特里夏·克莱默在研究动物如何使用野生动物过境点时捕捉到的场景。）可知，短文介绍了野生动物如何使用野生动物通道，以及这些通道对于减少野生动物与车辆的碰撞的重要性。所以第一段主要在介绍主题，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Cramer has been researching how wildlife and highways interact for nearly 20 years, and she is the founder and director of the Wildlife Connectivity Institute, which works with state and local governments to site and design wildlife crossings.”（克莱默近20年来一直在研究野生动物和高速公路之间的相互作用，她是野生动物连接研究所的创始人和主任，该研究所与州和地方政府合作，选址和设计野生动物过境点。）可知，Patricia Cramer的野生动物连通性研究所的角色是监测野生动物与公路的互动。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Research by Cramer and others shows that within just a few years, a wildlife crossing structure can reduce collisions along the nearby stretch of highway by 75 to 90 percent.”（Cramer和其他人的研究显示，仅仅几年内，野生动物通道就可以将附近公路段的碰撞减少75%到90%。）可知，野生动物通道的预期功能是减少野生动物与车辆的碰撞。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They are a cost-effective way of addressing the problem from the human side”（它们是从人的角度解决问题的一种经济有效的方法）以及文章最后一段“Last year, the U. S. Department of Transportation announced a Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program with $350 million in funding available to states and tribal governments. Cramer and more than a dozen other wildlife and highway experts last year issued a statement urging officials to put that money toward developing “climate-informed” wildlife crossings.”（去年，美国交通部宣布了一个拥有3.5亿美元资金的野生动物通道试点项目，这些资金可供各州和部落政府使用。Cramer和其他十几位野生动物和公路专家去年发表了一份声明，敦促官员将这笔钱用于开发“气候信息化”的野生动物通道。）可知，Cramer对野生动物通道持支持态度。故选B。 D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly blurry, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. Generally a childhood phenomenon, myopia happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back. Eyes have a “stop signal” so that they grow proportionally (成比例地) with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors, which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, making them too big for the optics (光学) . The mismatch between the eyeballs and the optics leads to far-off objects looking out of focus. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Natural light is essential for healthy eye development, says Schwartz. Exposure (接触) to natural light promotes the release of dopamine, which helps regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. That said, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast (对比) — like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background, says Schwartz. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a darkroom might cause more eye growth in children. Researchers are working on ways to slowdown rising myopia rates. You can also reduce eye tiredness by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light (soft background light, plus a task light) , choosing non-glare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks. 32. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Bright. B. Normal. C. Unclear. D. Important. 33. What can we learn about “stop signal” from the second paragraph? A. It reduces eye tiredness. B. It leads to more eye growth. C. It helps the development of the head. D. It controls the overgrowth of the eyeballs. 34. What is the main cause of myopia according to the text? A. High contrast of light. B. Increased use of screens. C. Overly outdoor activities. D. Lack of natural light exposure. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Tips to protect eyesight. B. Reasons for eye tiredness. C. Features of background light. D. Problems we are faced with. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文，主要讨论了近视在全球范围内日益增长的现象，特别是针对美国的情况，以及研究者对于导致这一趋势背后原因的探讨。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050.(世界卫生组织预测，到2050年，世界上大约一半的人口将患有近视)”可知，越来越多人患有近视，所以很明显，我们的视力正变得越来越模糊，推知blurry是“模糊”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Generally a childhood phenomenon, myopia happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back. Eyes have a “stop signal” so that they grow proportionally (成比例地) with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors, which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, making them too big for the optics (光学) .(近视通常是一种儿童现象，当眼球从前到后长得太长时就会发生近视。美国西北大学(Northwestern University)副教授格雷戈里·施瓦茨(Gregory Schwartz)解释说，眼睛有一个“停止信号”，因此它们与头部成比例地生长。然而，这种信号可能会被遗传和环境因素打断，这导致我们的眼球长得太大，对光学系统来说太大了)”可知，眼睛有一个“停止信号”，以确保眼睛随着头部的增长而按比例增长，但遗传和环境因素可能打断这一信号，导致眼球过度生长。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The mismatch between the eyeballs and the optics leads to far-off objects looking out of focus. While our first response is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Natural light is essential for healthy eye development, says Schwartz.(眼球和光学器件之间的不匹配导致远处的物体看起来失焦。虽然我们的第一反应是归咎于屏幕使用的增加，但专家认为真正的原因并不是这样，确切地说，而是相关的:即户外活动的时间减少了。施瓦茨说，自然光对眼睛的健康发育至关重要)”可知，尽管我们本能地认为屏幕使用增加是原因，但专家认为真正的原因并不是这样，真正的原因是：户外活动时间减少，因为自然光对眼睛健康发育至关重要。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Researchers are working on ways to slowdown rising myopia rates. You can also reduce eye tiredness by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light (soft background light, plus a task light) , choosing non-glare screens for your computer or TV and taking frequent breaks.(研究人员正在研究减缓近视率上升的方法。你也可以通过一些简单的生活方式改变来减少眼睛疲劳，比如确保你在良好的光线下阅读或工作(柔和的背景光，加上工作灯)，为你的电脑或电视选择不眩光的屏幕，经常休息)”可知，本段主要提到了一些可以减少眼睛疲劳的建议，比如确保在良好光线环境下阅读或工作、选择无眩光的电脑或电视屏幕以及频繁休息。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分 12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Challenging, fun and engaging hobbies have the power to make us happier and healthier. ___36___.

Zawadzki, an associate professor of health psychology at the University of California.(加州大学(University of California)健康心理学副教授马修·j·扎瓦兹基(Matthew J. Zawadzki)说，爱好提供了一种逃避——它们可以帮助你从头脑中解脱出来，平静下来)”以及后文“Mentally engaged? Distracted? Relaxed? Socially connected?(精神上参与？分心？放松？社交连接？)”这些是关于如何使自己感觉良好的问题。因此，空白处应该填入一个引导读者思考如何通过活动来让自己感到更好的建议，所以G项“He suggests asking yourself how you want an activity to make you feel(他建议问问自己，你希望一项活动给你带来怎样的感觉)”符合文意。故选G项。 【38题详解】 空格处是本段首句。根据本段小标题Start small可知，这里建议从小事做起。以及根据后文“Ease in to figure out if it’s right for you, advises Rebecca Weiler, a mental health counselor. “You can always do more later,” she says.

The answer could point you toward an appealing hobby. Revisit activities you loved when you were young, Bajaj suggests. “It’s a really helpful place to start, and it allows you to feel comfortable,” she says.(当你还是个孩子的时候，你长大后想做什么?答案可能会让你找到一个吸引人的爱好。巴贾吉建议，重温一下你年轻时喜欢的活动。她说：“这是一个非常有用的开始，它会让你感觉很舒服。”)”可知，本段主要讲述重温一下你年轻时喜欢的活，所以D项“Childhood delights can easily develop into adult hobbies(童年的快乐很容易发展成成人的爱好)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选D项。 【40题详解】 设空为本段小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Hanselman and her partner keep a running list on their fridge of all things that strike them as interesting. “Maybe a month from now I’ll be like, ‘Butterfly garden. Why did I think that was a good idea?’ Or it just might be the right time for it,” she says.

However, it is evidenced that the Dragon Boat Festival actually came before the ___58___ (die) of Qu Yuan. Its earliest origin is related to the ___59___ (five) lunar month which was known to ancients as the “month of poison” at that time. During the early hot days of summer, people would easily fall ill and epidemics spread, ___60___ made the month seem evil. Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival was ___61___ (original) considered to be a traditional medical and health festival. It is a festival for people to fight ___62___ diseases and poisonous insects. Dragon Boat Festival ___63___ (custom) can be roughly divided into two categories. One is to worship ___64___ god of dragon and heroes, such as Qu Yuan.

The issue of high school students staying up late to study has become a common concern. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Should high school students stay up late to study? The issue of high school students staying up late to study has become a common concern. Nowadays, with the increasing academic pressure, many students find themselves staying up late to complete their assignments and prepare for exams. While it is important for students to be dedicated to their studies, sacrificing sleep is not the solution. Adequate rest is crucial for maintaining good physical and mental health, as well as for effective learning. Staying up late may lead to lack of concentration and ultimately, poorer academic performance. My suggestion is that high school students should prioritize time management and develop effective study habits. Additionally, schools and parents should also play a role in promoting a balance d approach to studying, emphasizing the importance of both academic achievement and well-being. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以Should high school students stay up late to study?为题写一篇英语短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 压力：pressure→stress 完成：complete→finish 专心致志于：be dedicated to→be devoted to 导致：lead to→result in 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Nowadays, with the increasing academic pressure, many students find themselves staying up late to complete their assignments and prepare for exams. 拓展句：Nowadays, as the academic pressure increases, many students find themselves staying up late to complete their assignments and prepare for exams. 【点睛】【高分句型1】While it is important for students to be dedicated to their studies, sacrificing sleep is not the solution.（运用了while引导的让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】My suggestion is that high school students should prioritize time management and develop effective study habits.（运用了that引导的表语从句） 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My younger brother and I were home watching cartoons while my father slept and my mother was out shopping. I left my brother in the living room and went to get something to drink. As I was pouring some orange juice, I heard something break. First, I looked in to see if my father had woken up, and he hadn’t. Then I quickly ran to see what had happened. When I went into the living room, I was shocked. My brother had broken my mother’s favourite vase. “What did you do?” I asked. “I broke it!” My brother answered. “It was an accident!” Knowing that he was shocked and frightened, and not wanting him to get in trouble, I did what any sister would do. I tried to help him. I quickly ran and got some glue. I didn’t know what time my mother was going to be back or when my father was going to wake up, so I tried to hurry. I frantically (手忙脚乱地) gathered up all of the broken pieces and started to glue them together. It took me an hour but I finally fixed the vase. Then came the real disaster. “Oh my God! Oh my God!” I shouted. I had fixed the vase, but I had accidentally glued my hair to it! While my brother looked at me like I was some kind of fool I carried the vase with my hair attached to it into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. “My beautiful hair!” I cried. Realizing that there was no way to pull my hair from the vase, I grabbed a pair of scissors. With every single strand (缕) of hair that I cut, I cried again. My hair was ruined and the vase looked as if a wig was attached to it! As I was leaving the bathroom with my ridiculous new hairdo, I heard a key turn in the front door. 注意： 1. 续写总词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother was back! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My brother, sensing my tension, stepped forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My mother was back! She walked in, her face bright with the excitement of her shopping trip. At the sight of the broken vase and my strange hairdo, her expression changed. “What happened to your hair? ” she asked with a mix of confusion and concern in her voice. I panicked. “I...I...” I stammered, trying to think of a reasonable explanation. But the truth was too ridiculous to believe. I could only stare at her, my eyes welling up with tears. My brother, sensing my tension, stepped forward. “I broke Mom’s vase,” he said, his voice small but firm. “And sister tried to fix it, but she got her hair stuck. She had to cut it off.” Hearing this, my mother wore a relief smile, face softening. She looked at the vase, then at me, my hair sticking out in all directions. “It’s okay,” she said, smiling. “Vases can be replaced, but your honesty and your sister’s willingness to help are more valuable than anything.” She hugged us both tightly. “Now let’s see if we can find a way to fix your hair,” she added with a laugh. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一个家庭意外事件为线索展开，讲述了我和弟弟在家看动画片时，弟弟不小心打破了妈妈最喜欢的花瓶。作为姐姐，我试图帮助弟弟解决问题，手忙脚乱地用胶水粘合花瓶碎片。然而，在粘合过程中，我不慎将自己的头发粘在了花瓶上，导致了一场更大的混乱。最终，为了解决这个问题，我不得不剪去粘住的头发，顶着滑稽的新发型面对即将回家的父母。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我妈妈回来了!”可知，第一段可描写妈妈对家里情况和作者的头发感到困惑，询问发生了什么。 ②由第二段首句内容“我弟弟察觉到了我的紧张，走上前来。”可知，第二段可描写作者弟弟主动承认自己打碎了花瓶，以及解释发生了什么。 2. 续写线索：妈妈回家——看到花瓶碎片和作者的头发——询问发生什么——作者不知道怎么解释——弟弟承认打碎花瓶以及姐姐帮助他——妈妈没有责怪——为他们的诚实和友爱感到骄傲。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：walk in/enter ②凝视：stare at/gaze at ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm ②担忧：concern/apprehension 【点睛】[高分句型1]But the truth was too ridiculous to believe.(too...to...句型，不定式作结果状语) [高分句型2]“Now let’s see if we can find a way to fix your hair,” she added with a laugh.(if引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
