One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world. Haggis (Scotland) A world-famous dish, haggis is made from the parts of a sheep many people would throw away. The heart, lungs and liver are mixed together with onion, spices and oatmeal, then put inside a sheep’s stomach and boiled for three hours. Sannakji (Korea) Now that Japanese sushi is popular around the world, many people are used to eating raw fish. But Sannakji is different. It consists of octopus which is sliced up while alive. The octopus is then cooked in sesame oil and served with a dipping sauce. If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles (触须) can stick to your throat. Fugu (Japan) Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it. Frogs’ legs (France) Frogs’legs are a popular dish in France, usually served with garlic. They’re said to taste like chicken, but some people find them to be too chewy. If you’re feeling brave, you can try frogs’ legs for yourself — just be sure to remove the skin and bones before you eat them. 1. What do you need to pay attention to while eating Sannakji? A. Eating carefully and slowly. B. Boiling it with dipping sauce. C. Slicing up the dead octopus. D. Preparing a cup of sesame oil. 2. Which dish offers diners a thrill of danger? A. Haggis from Scotland. B. Sannakji from Korea. C. Fugu from Japan. D. Frogs’legs from France. 3. Where does this text probably come from? A. A special menu. B. A cooking recipe. C. A food magazine. D. A nutrition guidebook. B Standing in his boat Andrew had just finished lunch when he spotted a boat which was headed directly toward his boat and didn’t change course as it got closer. Andrew couldn’t see anybody behind the wheel. “It’s a ghost (幽灵) boat!” he shouted. Andrew controlled his boat alongside the mystery boat. “Hey! Hey!” he screamed. No reply. A horrifying new thought took shape: the captain had gone below deck (甲板) and suffered a heart attack. As Andrew eased his boat alongside the ghost boat, Andrew’s son, Jack leapt onto the deck of the mystery boat. Getting to his feet, he stepped into the pilothouse and threw the engine into neutral (空挡) as Andrew tied the two boats together. On the ghost boat, Jack called the Coast Guard after finding a wallet with the ID of a man named Sascha Scheller. “Can you see his GPS?” the operator asked. They told the GPS coordinates (坐标) by using the build-in display beside the wheel, which had tracked Scheller’s course and marked waypoints of his route. After the operator signed off, Jack and Andrew resolved to do something to help. According to the GPS, they reached Scheller’s final waypoint. Unexpectedly, Jack spotted something in the water — a boot! He fished it out, and, moments later, he found another one. Jack shouted “A pair of fishing boots!” Meanwhile, something clicked in Andrew’s mind. “If I fell overboard, I’d kick off my boot s to swim. So, we are looking for a swimmer, not a body.” Suddenly, they heard someone was screaming and slamming in the water. Andrew slowed the boats and turned them directly toward that sound. After releasing the ghost boat, Andrew rushed forward. “Glad to see you,” Andrew said, pulling the man onto the deck, who had been in the water for several hours, “Are you Scheller?” “Yes. I couldn’t believe my own boat had come to rescue me,” the man replied. 4. Why did Andrew think of the boat as a “ghost boat”? A. It had no one on board. B. It charged towards his boat. C. It was in a mysterious design. D. Its captain suffered a heart attack. 5. Which measure did Andrew and Jack take when rescuing Scheller? A. Attaching two boats together. B. Marking waypoints of Scheller’s course. C. Throwing the engine of their boat into neutral. D. Asking Coast Guard for their GPS coordinates. 6. What is the significance of finding “the boots”? A. It revealed the mystery of the ghost boat. B. It indicated the sailing route of the ghost boat. C. It clarified the occupation of the ghost boat owner. D. It implied the survival of the ghost boat owner. 7. Which of the following words best describe Andrew and Jack? A. Helpful and good-tempered. B. Warm-hearted and considerate. C. Cautious and ambitious. D. Determined and adventurous. C In recent years, much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to drift away each month without my ever thinking about it. Think of it as automated capitalism (资本主义). Spending without the hassle of spending. Purchase without action or thought. Indeed, economists estimate that buyers forgetting to cancel subscriptions can increase a business’s income by as much as 200 percent. We’re too lazy or busy to even notice or cancel! “Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies assure us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become passive consumers who are allowing the balance of capitalism to shift away from us. We have given up one of our key powers as individuals: our control. And this laziness generates more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular review s of our subscription spending. If we’re going to rebalance the wheels of capitalism just a little, we could do worse than to support a recently proposed rule from the Federal Trade Commission. In March, the organization suggested a “click to cancel” condition that would require companies to make it just as easy to end a subscription as to sign up for one. No more being forced to go into the gym to end your membership if you were able to join online! Additionally, under this extra layer of consumer protection, businesses would need to remind subscribers annually about their membership before these are automatically renewed. This rule would mean any background spending would, if only just for one moment a year, be at the forefront of your mind. If all that doesn’t work, I have another idea: an app designed to keep track of your various subscriptions and background spending so you can better control your finances. Oh wait, those already exist—for a recurring (再发生) fee, of course. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consideration. B. Approval. C. Trouble. D. Rejection. 9. What do passive consumers tend to do? A. Subscribe to various apps. B. Ignore subscription review. C. Lose the balance between earning and spending. D. Reach an agreement with credit card companies. 10. What are subscription service providers expected to do in Paragraph 4? A. Remind consumers to renew their membership. B. Allow customers to cancel subscription easily. C. Reconsider the proposal of federal government. D. Discontinue releasing new subscription services. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Background spending needs to be controlled. B. Subscriptions to apps are generally hard to end. C. Apps for tracking subscriptions should be designed. D. Proposals to prevent automated capitalism are supported. D A troublesome arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation (AF) (心房颤动) represents an “emerging epidemic,” the global prevalence (患病率) of which is expected to double from 2010 to 2030. Most AF patients are older than 65 and have known risk factors, particularly high blood pressure, obesity, and sleep disorder. Why cyclists, runners, and other athletes in otherwise perfect health are sometimes at risk is poorly understood. La Gerche is now studying this contradiction. La Gerche’s study, called Pro@Heart, was launched in 2016 with coworkers in Australia and Belgium and so far includes nearly 500 top athletes who were between 16 and 23 years old when they enrolled. The study aims to follow them for at least 25 years and track changes to the heart, including its size and electrical conduction patterns. A separate arm is exploring AF prevalence in 128 former top competitive rowers between the ages of 45 and 80, along with a matched comparator group of people who are not competitive athletes. The younger Pro@Heart subjects have shown some athletes’ hearts are so large that they get pushed up against the chest wall and the spine, which could cause cardiac inflammation (心脏炎症). Such inflammation has long been eyed as a potential AF driver. Pro@Heart’s older subjects, the retired rowers, has a shocking rate of AF: 20%, compared with 3% in the control group. Top rowers may have a higher AF risk than some other endurance athletes — perhaps because the sport attracts taller people. Height is a documented AF risk factor, though the reasons are still being explored. Another factor may be that rowers routinely train as much as 20 or 30 hours a week. But “How much exercise is too much?” La Gerche wonders. The answer isn’t clear, and it likely depends on other factors, including genetics. One common prescription (处方) for athletes with AF is to cut down physical activity. These athletes “really don’t want to stop competing or stop training” if they don’t have to, Myrstad says. “It’s the most natural thing to ask the patient in front of you, ‘Do you have to run this marathon? Can’t you just reduce the training?’” he says, “but I’m not sure it’s right.” 12. How does the author lead in the topic of the passage? A. By introducing a new experiment. B. By supposing a real-life situation. C. By clarifying a common definition. D. By presenting an abnormal phenomenon. 13. What does “the separate arm” focus on in paragraph 3? A. The underlying physical drivers of AF. B. The comparison of AF occurrence rate. C. The ongoing track changes of AF patients. D. The potential effects of diabetes and obesity. 14. Why is it easier for some athletes to have AF according to the study? A. Their heart size gives rise to a possible risk. B. Their hearts are not conveniently positioned. C. They can not control the intensity of training. D. They are taller and heavier than ordinary people. 15. What does the athletes with AF feel about the common prescription? A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Approving. D. Doubtful. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Harvest is truly one of the highlights of the season. This is when all of our efforts and attention get translated into a tangible finished product. As a grower, nothing makes me prouder than harvesting a successful crop. ____16____ To ensure quality is maintained all the way from field to fork, certain principles must be understood and followed through. First of all, it is important to harvest each crop at the right stage of growth. Vegetables harvested before they are fully mature will be much less flavorful. ____17____ For some crops, it is easy to tell when they are at their freshest, and many can be quite forgiving. But for other crops, harvesting at the appropriate moment will make an enormous difference. The timing of cantaloupe (甜瓜) picking, for example, will determine whether the fruit is sweet or disappointing, while it won’t make a difference if you wait a few days to harvest the apples. ____18____ To further complicate things, the right moment to harvest a given vegetable is not necessarily consistent with market demand. ____19____ Vegetables such as broccoli (西兰花) and cucumbers, to name just a few, can be harvested at the peak of their quality and stored in the cold room for a few days before being sold. ____20____ Some vegetables must be cooled to slow their process of ripening. Otherwise, their freshness and nutritional value will suffer. This is why it is so important to harvest as early as possible in the morning, before the heat of the day sets in, and to cool the vegetables immediately with cold water and/or air from the cold room. A. You just have to follow the habits of different crops. B. That being said, harvest requires some special know-how. C. Those harvested overripe will then have a shorter shelf life. D. This is one reason why a cold room is critical in a market garden. E. Although it varies from crop to crop, it’s always better later than earlier. F. Moreover, a well-functioning cool system is in badly need for keeping things fresh. G. The other important thing to remember is that vegetables go on “living” even after being picked. 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。 It is February 2020, and it’s almost as cold inside as out.

Getting off the bus, I couldn’t help ____25____ from foot to foot. Minutes after, the clouds ____26____. “Is that it?” someone asks, pointing at a small dome (圆顶) of brightness on the horizon. The aurora follows its own ____27____ schedule, and tourism runs on expectations stimulated by travel websites. Thousands of ____28____ photos of emerald-green and ruby-red arcs(弧线) make false ____29____. So I’ve tried to keep my own expectations ____30____ bound. Over about 20 minutes, however, a cloud ____31____ into a fine white arc stretching across the sky, brightening until it is a river of pearl. Céline and I lie back on a pile of ____32____, watching the glowing track cross the sky like a painter’s ____33____. I don’t generally do this kind of thing: travel in ____34____, with guides. I’m always too shy for groups. But viewing the aurora is something that doesn’t ____35____ the solo traveler. Now, I know. 21. A. bathing B. eating C. booking D. dressing 22. A. formal B. fancy C. identical D. distinct 23. A. hopeful B. thankful C. careful D. regretful 24. A. turns back B. drives through C. breaks down D. pulls up 25.

The girl waited a moment to see if any of her family would wake, but nobody stirred. She tiptoed upstairs to her “Observatory”, longing for drinking in deep lungfuls of the clear night air under the bright stars. She polished her dear telescope, which was presented by her grandpa, the only one to support her dream. She assembled (组装) it, disassembled it and reassembled it repeatedly, knowing its parts very well. Through it she could explore the unknown galaxy, the Milky Way stretching across the deep blue sky. Night was always her favorite time. When everything was quiet, she was lost in her starry night. At this moment, she seemed to forget her cares and sorrows in the daytime. She told her secret dream to these beloved ones, her friends, teachers and even her father. When she said, “Papá, I want to be an astronomer working in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory someday,” her father replied, “Maybe if you work hard, you’ll be hired to clean the offices.” No one believed she would be a scientist one day. But why? She knew she could be a good scientist. She knew it! A big day was coming—to visit the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, where she had visited for dozens of times, familiar with every set of the instruments there. This time with her classmates she was still eager for something stimulating. She took a cautious step forward, holding her breath, and her eyes getting closer to the lens (镜片) of the telescope. She adjusted the device softly and carefully, hoping to find more.... “Bang! …” suddenly there came a loud noise. One of her old friends “one-meter” telescope fell down, broken. “Look out! Stop touching anything! Step backward!” The manager yelled. “One-meter is broken, but the scientist has the day off. Nobody can fix it.” An operator added. Worries blanketed the hall. “I CAN FIX IT!” Catalina’s voice was surprisingly calm. “You what...?” The manager uttered, confused, and doubted. “It has 67 parts in total. An adjustable spanner (扳手) and a star screwdriver (螺丝刀) can help.” “Then you know how to assemble it.” His eyes wide open he still half believed. Confidently, she nodded. 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。 Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I’ll take all responsibilities.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武昌区2023-2024学年度高二年级期末质量检测 英语 考试时间：2024年6月28日 本试卷共150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡指定位置，认真核对与准考证号条形码上的信息是否一致，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：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，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。答在试题卷上无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色墨水的签字笔直接答在答题卡上的每题所对应的答题区域内。答在试题卷上或答题卡指定区域外无效。 4.考试结束，监考人员将答题卡收回，考生自己保管好试题卷，评讲时带来。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5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.

Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it.(河豚是一种著名的日本鱼类，体内充满了足以致命的有毒物质。厨师们在做鱼之前必须接受培训。河豚的味道其实很清淡。令人兴奋的是在吃它的过程中幸存下来)”可知，日本的河豚能让食客感受到危险的刺激。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s hard to say what is normal and what is weird where food is concerned—it all depends on the taste of the individual and which part of the world you come from. One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world.(在食物方面，很难说什么是正常的，什么是奇怪的——这完全取决于个人的口味和你来自世界的哪个地方。一个人的噩梦是另一个人的美味。这里有一些来自世界各地的最奇怪的食物)”结合文章主要介绍了世界上奇怪的四种食物。由此可推知，文章选自一本食物杂志。故选C。 B Standing in his boat, Andrew had just finished lunch when he spotted a boat which was headed directly toward his boat and didn’t change course as it got closer. Andrew couldn’t see anybody behind the wheel. “It’s a ghost (幽灵) boat!” he shouted. Andrew controlled his boat alongside the mystery boat. “Hey! Hey!” he screamed. No reply. A horrifying new thought took shape: the captain had gone below deck (甲板) and suffered a heart attack. As Andrew eased his boat alongside the ghost boat, Andrew’s son, Jack leapt onto the deck of the mystery boat. Getting to his feet, he stepped into the pilothouse and threw the engine into neutral (空挡) as Andrew tied the two boats together. On the ghost boat, Jack called the Coast Guard after finding a wallet with the ID of a man named Sascha Scheller. “Can you see his GPS?” the operator asked. They told the GPS coordinates (坐标) by using the build-in display beside the wheel, which had tracked Scheller’s course and marked waypoints of his route. After the operator signed off, Jack and Andrew resolved to do something to help. According to the GPS, they reached Scheller’s final waypoint. Unexpectedly, Jack spotted something in the water — a boot! He fished it out, and, moments later, he found another one. Jack shouted “A pair of fishing boots!” Meanwhile, something clicked in Andrew’s mind. “If I fell overboard, I’d kick off my boot s to swim. So, we are looking for a swimmer, not a body.” Suddenly, they heard someone was screaming and slamming in the water. Andrew slowed the boats and turned them directly toward that sound. After releasing the ghost boat, Andrew rushed forward. “Glad to see you,” Andrew said, pulling the man onto the deck, who had been in the water for several hours, “Are you Scheller?” “Yes. I couldn’t believe my own boat had come to rescue me,” the man replied. 4. Why did Andrew think of the boat as a “ghost boat”? A. It had no one on board. B. It charged towards his boat. C. It was in a mysterious design. D. Its captain suffered a heart attack. 5. Which measure did Andrew and Jack take when rescuing Scheller? A. Attaching two boats together. B Marking waypoints of Scheller’s course. C. Throwing the engine of their boat into neutral. D. Asking Coast Guard for their GPS coordinates. 6. What is the significance of finding “the boots”? A. It revealed the mystery of the ghost boat. B. It indicated the sailing route of the ghost boat. C. It clarified the occupation of the ghost boat owner. D. It implied the survival of the ghost boat owner. 7. Which of the following words best describe Andrew and Jack? A. Helpful and good-tempered. B. Warm-hearted and considerate. C. Cautious and ambitious. D. Determined and adventurous. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了安德鲁和杰克遇到了一辆幽灵船，上船以后发现了主人的钱包，并最后救出了主人萨沙·谢勒。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Standing in his boat, Andrew had just finished lunch when he spotted a boat which was headed directly toward his boat and didn’t change course as it got closer. Andrew couldn’t see anybody behind the wheel.(安德鲁站在他的船上，刚吃完午饭，他发现一艘船正朝他的船驶来，而且在靠近时没有改变航线。安德鲁看不见方向盘后面有人)”可知，安德鲁认为这艘船是“鬼船”因为船上没有人。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Which had tracked Scheller’s course and marked waypoints of his route.(它跟踪了谢勒的路线，并标出了他的航路点)”可知，安德鲁和杰克在营救谢勒时，标记谢勒航路点。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Unexpectedly, Jack spotted something in the water — a boot! He fished it out, and, moments later, he found another one. Jack shouted “A pair of fishing boots!” Meanwhile, something clicked in Andrew’s mind. “If I fell overboard, I’d kick off my boot s to swim. So, we are looking for a swimmer, not a body.”(出乎意料的是，杰克在水里发现了什么东西——一只靴子!他把它捞了出来，不一会儿，他又找到了一条。杰克喊道：“一双钓鱼靴!”与此同时，安德鲁的脑海里突然闪现出一些东西。“如果我从船上掉下去，我会踢掉靴子游泳。所以，我们要找的是一名游泳者，而不是一具尸体。”)”可知，找到“靴子”的意义是它暗示了幽灵船的主人还活着。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As Andrew eased his boat alongside the ghost boat, Andrew’s son, Jack leap t onto the deck of the mystery boat.(当安德鲁的船慢慢靠近幽灵船时，安德鲁的儿子杰克跳上了这艘神秘船的甲板)”以及倒数第二段“After the operator signed off, Jack and Andrew resolved to do something to help.(接线员挂断电话后，杰克和安德鲁决定做点什么来帮忙)”可知，安德鲁和杰克上了幽灵船说明有毛线精神，决心做点什么说明有决心。即他们有决心和冒险精神。故选D。 C In recent years, much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to drift away each month without my ever thinking about it. Think of it as automated capitalism (资本主义). Spending without the hassle of spending. Purchase without action or thought. Indeed, economists estimate that buyers forgetting to cancel subscriptions can increase a business’s income by as much as 200 percent. We’re too lazy or busy to even notice or cancel! “Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies assure us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become passive consumers who are allowing the balance of capitalism to shift away from us. We have given up one of our key powers as individuals: our control. And this laziness generates more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular review s of our subscription spending. If we’re going to rebalance the wheels of capitalism just a little, we could do worse than to support a recently proposed rule from the Federal Trade Commission. In March, the organization suggested a “click to cancel” condition that would require companies to make it just as easy to end a subscription as to sign up for one. No more being forced to go into the gym to end your membership if you were able to join online! Additionally, under this extra layer of consumer protection, businesses would need to remind subscribers annually about their membership before these are automatically renewed. This rule would mean any background spending would, if only just for one moment a year, be at the forefront of your mind. If all that doesn’t work, I have another idea: an app designed to keep track of your various subscriptions and background spending so you can better control your finances. Oh wait, those already exist—for a recurring (再发生) fee, of course. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consideration. B. Approval. C. Trouble. D. Rejection. 9. What do passive consumers tend to do? A. Subscribe to various apps. B. Ignore subscription review. C. Lose the balance between earning and spending. D. Reach an agreement with credit card companies. 10. What are subscription service providers expected to do in Paragraph 4? A. Remind consumers to renew their membership. B. Allow customers to cancel subscription easily. C. Reconsider the proposal of federal government. D. Discontinue releasing new subscription services. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Background spending needs to be controlled. B. Subscriptions to apps are generally hard to end. C. Apps for tracking subscriptions should be designed. D. Proposals to prevent automated capitalism are supported. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了背景支出导致了许多不需要的额外开支，说明了背景支出导致的问题以及如何避免。 8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Purchase without action or thought. Indeed, economists estimate that buyers forgetting to cancel subscriptions can increase a business’s income by as much as 200 percent.(不假思索地购买。事实上，经济学家估计，买家忘记取消订阅可以使企业的收入增加多达200%)”可知，自动化资本主义会带来额外花费的麻烦。故划线词意思是“麻烦”。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And this laziness generates more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular review s of our subscription spending.(这种懒惰会导致更多的懒惰，因为我们大多数人都懒得定期检查我们的订阅支出)”可知，被动消费者倾向于忽略订阅审查。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In March, the organization suggested a “click to cancel” condition that would require companies to make it just as easy to end a subscription as to sign up for one. No more being forced to go into the gym to end your membership if you were able to join online!(今年3月，该组织提出了一个“点击取消”的条件，要求公司让终止订阅和注册订阅一样容易。如果您能够在线加入，就不再被迫进入健身房结束您的会员资格！)”可知，订阅服务提供商应该允许客户轻松取消订阅。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In recent years, much of my life as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to drift away each month without my ever thinking about it.(近年来，作为一名消费者，我的大部分生活都转向了我喜欢称之为背景支出的方式。随着我订阅了越来越多的应用程序和流媒体平台，我每个月都在不知不觉中花掉了大笔钱)”结合文章主要说明了背景支出导致了许多不需要的额外开支，说明了背景支出导致的问题以及如何避免。可知，这篇文章的主旨是背景支出需要控制。故选A。 D A troublesome arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation (AF) (心房颤动) represents an “emerging epidemic,” the global prevalence (患病率) of which is expected to double from 2010 to 2030. Most AF patients are older than 65 and have known risk factors, particularly high blood pressure, obesity, and sleep disorder. Why cyclists, runners, and other athletes in otherwise perfect health are sometimes at risk is poorly understood. La Gerche is now studying this contradiction. La Gerche’s study called Pro@Heart, was launched in 2016 with coworkers in Australia and Belgium and so far includes nearly 500 top athletes who were between 16 and 23 years old when they enrolled. The study aims to follow them for at least 25 years and track changes to the heart, including its size and electrical conduction patterns. A separate arm is exploring AF prevalence in 128 former top competitive rowers between the ages of 45 and 80, along with a matched comparator group of people who are not competitive athletes. The younger Pro@Heart subjects have shown some athletes’ hearts are so large that they get pushed up against the chest wall and the spine, which could cause cardiac inflammation (心脏炎症). Such inflammation has long been eyed as a potential AF driver. Pro@Heart’s older subjects, the retired rowers, has a shocking rate of AF: 20%, compared with 3% in the control group. Top rowers may have a higher AF risk than some other endurance athletes — perhaps because the sport attracts taller people. Height is a documented AF risk factor, though the reasons are still being explored. Another factor may be that rowers routinely train as much as 20 or 30 hours a week. But “How much exercise is too much?” La Gerche wonders. The answer isn’t clear, and it likely depends on other factors, including genetics. One common prescription (处方) for athletes with AF is to cut down physical activity. These athletes “really don’t want to stop competing or stop training” if they don’t have to, Myrstad says. “It’s the most natural thing to ask the patient in front of you, ‘Do you have to run this marathon? Can’t you just reduce the training?’” he says, “but I’m not sure it’s right.” 12. How does the author lead in the topic of the passage? A. By introducing a new experiment. B. By supposing a real-life situation. C. By clarifying a common definition. D. By presenting an abnormal phenomenon. 13. What does “the separate arm” focus on in paragraph 3? A. The underlying physical drivers of AF. B. The comparison of AF occurrence rate. C. The ongoing track changes of AF patients. D. The potential effects of diabetes and obesity. 14. Why is it easier for some athletes to have AF according to the study? A. Their heart size gives rise to a possible risk. B. Their hearts are not conveniently positioned. C. They can not control the intensity of training. D. They are taller and heavier than ordinary people. 15. What does the athletes with AF feel about the common prescription? A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Approving. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了近年来心房颤动的发病率呈现上升趋势，文章分析了背后的原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A troublesome arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation (AF) (心房颤动) represents an “emerging epidemic,” the global prevalence (患病率) of which is expected to double from 2010 to 2030.(一种令人头疼的心律失常——心房颤动（AF）代表着一种“新兴流行病”，预计从2010年到2030年，其全球患病率将翻一番)”可知，作者通过呈现一种异常现象引出文章的主题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The study aims to follow them for at least 25 years and track changes to the heart, including its size and electrical conduction patterns. A separate arm is exploring AF prevalence in 128 former top competitive rowers between the ages of 45 and 80, along with a matched comparator group of people who are not competitive athletes.(这项研究的目标是对他们进行至少25年的跟踪研究，并追踪心脏的变化，包括心脏的大小和电传导模式。另一个研究小组正在调查128名年龄在45岁至80岁之间的前顶级赛艇运动员以及一组非竞技运动员的房颤患病率)”可知，“独立部门”的重点是房颤患者的持续轨迹变化。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The younger Pro@Heart subjects have shown some athletes’ hearts are so large that they get pushed up against the chest wall and the spine, which could cause cardiac inflammation (心脏炎症).(年轻的Pro@Heart研究对象显示，一些运动员的心脏太大了，以至于它们被推到胸壁和脊柱上，这可能会导致心脏炎症)”可知，根据这项研究，有些运动员更容易患心房颤动是因为他们的心脏大小会带来潜在的风险。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One common prescription (处方) for athletes with AF is to cut down physical activity. These athletes “really don’t want to stop competing or stop training” if they don’t have to, Myrstad says. “It’s the most natural thing to ask the patient in front of you, ‘Do you have to run this marathon? Can’t you just reduce the training?’” he says, “but I’m not sure it’s right.”(对于患有房颤的运动员来说，一个常见的处方是减少体育活动。米尔斯塔德说，如果没有必要，这些运动员“真的不想停止比赛或停止训练”。“最自然的事情是问你面前的病人，‘你一定要跑马拉松吗？你就不能减少训练吗？’”他说，“但我不确定这是否正确。”)”可知，患有房颤的运动员对普通处方表示怀疑。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Harvest is truly one of the highlights of the season. This is when all of our efforts and attention get translated into a tangible finished product. As a grower, nothing makes me prouder than harvesting a successful crop. ____16____ To ensure quality is maintained all the way from field to fork, certain principles must be understood and followed through. First of all, it is important to harvest each crop at the right stage of growth. Vegetables harvested before they are fully mature will be much less flavorful. ____17____ For some crops, it is easy to tell when they are at their freshest, and many can be quite forgiving. But for other crops, harvesting at the appropriate moment will make an enormous difference. The timing of cantaloupe (甜瓜) picking, for example, will determine whether the fruit is sweet or disappointing, while it won’t make a difference if you wait a few days to harvest the apples. ____18____ To further complicate things, the right moment to harvest a given vegetable is not necessarily consistent with market demand. ____19____ Vegetables such as broccoli (西兰花) and cucumbers, to name just a few, can be harvested at the peak of their quality and stored in the cold room for a few days before being sold. ____20____ Some vegetables must be cooled to slow their process of ripening. Otherwise, their freshness and nutritional value will suffer. This is why it is so important to harvest as early as possible in the morning, before the heat of the day sets in, and to cool the vegetables immediately with cold water and/or air from the cold room. A. You just have to follow the habits of different crops. B. That being said, harvest requires some special know-how. C. Those harvested overripe will then have a shorter shelf life. D. This is one reason why a cold room is critical in a market garden. E. Although it varies from crop to crop, it’s always better later than earlier. F. Moreover, a well-functioning cool system is in badly need for keeping things fresh. G. The other important thing to remember is that vegetables go on “living” even after being picked. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在收获的季节收获作物所需的一些特殊诀窍。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“As a grower, nothing makes me prouder than harvesting a successful crop.(作为一名种植者，没有什么比收获一种成功的作物更让我自豪的了。)”可知，收获作物是让种植者感到最自豪的事情，结合空后的“To ensure quality is maintained all the way from field to fork, certain principles must be understood and followed through. (为了确保从田间到餐桌的全程质量，必须理解并遵循某些原则。)”可知，要确保收获的质量，需要遵循某些原则，由此可知，此空应为承上启下的作用，B选项“That being said, harvest requires some special know-how.(话虽如此，收获需要一些特殊的诀窍。)”讲述的内容承接上文中收获给种植者带来的自豪感，同时，引出下文讲述的话题。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据本段主题句“First of all, it is important to harvest each crop at the right stage of growth.(首先，重要的是要在正确的生长阶段收获每一种作物。)”可知，本段介绍的是在恰当的生长阶段收获作物很重要，结合空前的“Vegetables harvested before they are fully mature will be much less flavorful.(在完全成熟之前收获的蔬菜味道会差很多。)”可知，完全成熟前收获的蔬菜味道会差很多，C选项“Those harvested overripe will then have a shorter shelf life.(那些过熟收获的作物将有一个较短的保质期。)”讲述的内容与本段主题吻合，且与空前的内容相对应，“过熟收获的作物”对应“未成熟收获的作物”。故选C项。 【18题详解】 分析语篇可知，此空是对该段内容的总结，根据空前的“The timing of cantaloupe (甜瓜) picking, for example, will determine whether the fruit is sweet or disappointing, while it won’t make a difference if you wait a few days to harvest the apples.(例如，哈密瓜采摘的时间将决定果实是甜的还是令人失望的，而如果你等几天再收获苹果，就不会有什么不同。)”可知，此处举例说明不同的水果采摘的时间对水果的品质影响不同，A选项“You just have to follow the habits of different crops.(你只需要遵循不同作物的生长习性。)”建议遵循不同作物的生长习性即可，与空前内容吻合，且对该段的内容做出总结。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“To further complicate things, the right moment to harvest a given vegetable is not necessarily consistent with market demand.(更复杂的是，收获某种蔬菜的合适时机并不一定与市场需求一致。)”可知，收获某种蔬菜的时机不一定与市场需求一致，结合空后的“Vegetables such as broccoli (西兰花) and cucumbers, to name just a few, can be harvested at the peak of their quality and stored in the cold room for a few days before being sold.(西兰花和黄瓜等蔬菜，仅举几例，可以在其质量最高的时候收获，并在冷藏室中储存几天，然后再出售。)”可知，有些蔬菜收获后可以在冷藏室储存几天再出售，D选项“This is one reason why a cold room is critical in a market garden.(这就是为什么在市场菜园子里，冷藏室很重要的原因之一。)”讲述的内容与空前内容为因果关系，且选项中的“a cold room”与空后的“in the cold room”相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，结合空后的“Some vegetables must be cooled to slow their process of ripening. Otherwise, their freshness and nutritional value will suffer.(有些蔬菜必须冷却以减缓其成熟的过程。否则，它们的新鲜度和营养价值将受到影响。)”可知，为了确保蔬菜的新鲜度和营养价值不受影响，有些蔬菜必须冷却以减缓其成熟的过程，这说明有些蔬菜被采摘后也会继续生长成熟，G选项“The other important thing to remember is that vegetables go on “living” even after being picked.(另一件需要记住的重要事情是，蔬菜即使在被采摘后也会继续“活着”。)”符合逻辑，也解释了下文“This is why it is so important to harvest as early as possible in the morning, before the heat of the day sets in, and to cool the vegetables immediately with cold water and/or air from the cold room.(这就是为什么在早上，在一天的高温到来之前，尽早收割，并立即用冷水和/或冷藏室的空气冷却蔬菜是如此重要。)”这样做的原因。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is February 2020, and it’s almost as cold inside as out.

The girl waited a moment to see if any of her family would wake, but nobody stirred. She tiptoed upstairs to her “Observatory”, longing for drinking in deep lungfuls of the clear night air under the bright stars. She polished her dear telescope, which was presented by her grandpa, the only one to support her dream. She assembled (组装) it, disassembled it and reassembled it repeatedly, knowing its parts very well. Through it she could explore the unknown galaxy, the Milky Way stretching across the deep blue sky. Night was always her favorite time. When everything was quiet, she was lost in her starry night. At this moment, she seemed to forget her cares and sorrows in the daytime. She told her secret dream to these beloved ones, her friends, teachers and even her father. When she said, “Papá, I want to be an astronomer working in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory someday,” her father replied, “Maybe if you work hard, you’ll be hired to clean the offices.” No one believed she would be a scientist one day. But why? She knew she could be a good scientist. She knew it! A big day was coming—to visit the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, where she had visited for dozens of times, familiar with every set of the instruments there. This time with her classmates she was still eager for something stimulating. She took a cautious step forward, holding her breath, and her eyes getting closer to the lens (镜片) of the telescope. She adjusted the device softly and carefully, hoping to find more.... “Bang! …” suddenly there came a loud noise. One of her old friends “one-meter” telescope fell down, broken. “Look out! Stop touching anything! Step backward!” The manager yelled. “One-meter is broken, but the scientist has the day off. Nobody can fix it.” An operator added. Worries blanketed the hall. “I CAN FIX IT!” Catalina’s voice was surprisingly calm. “You what...?” The manager uttered, confused, and doubted. “It has 67 parts in total. An adjustable spanner (扳手) and a star screwdriver (螺丝刀) can help.” “Then you know how to assemble it.” His eyes wide open, he still half believed. Confidently, she nodded. 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。 Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I’ll take all responsibilities.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I’ll take all responsibilities.” He handed her the tools she needed, watching in disbelief as Catalina confidently began to work. Her fingers moved swiftly, each part fitting perfectly into place as if guided by an unseen force. Minutes ticked by, and the tension in the air thickened with every successful turn of the screw. Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall. When Catalina finished, the telescope stood tall and proud, restored to its former glory. The manager beamed, his doubts vanished. “How did you do it?” he asked, amazement coloring his voice. Catalina smiled, her eyes shining with determination. “I’ve been preparing for this moment ever since Papá gave me this telescope. I knew I could fix it because I know every part of it, just like I know every star in the sky.” That day, Catalina not only fixed the telescope but also proved to everyone that she was destined to become a great astronomer. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡塔琳娜参观天文台的时候，望远镜掉了下来，于是卡塔琳娜自告奋勇要修理望远镜，并成功修好，大家都为她鼓掌。那一天，卡塔琳娜不仅修好了望远镜，还向大家证明了她注定要成为一名伟大的天文学家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“经理犹豫了一下，同意了：‘去做吧，我会承担所有的责任。’”可知，第一段可描写卡塔琳娜修理望远镜的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“雷鸣般的掌声爆发了，震动了大厅”可知，第二段可描写卡塔琳娜得到了他人和经理的称赞，以及卡塔琳娜解释为什么自己会修理。 2.续写线索：经理同意——开始修理——修理完成——鼓掌——解释原因——卡塔琳娜感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①恢复：restore/regain ②修理：fix/repair ③消失：vanish/disappear 情绪类 ①紧张：tension /stress ②惊讶：amazement/surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1] He handed her the tools she needed, watching in disbelief as Catalina confidently began to work.
