As the story begins, Alice has traveled to Stanford University to give a talk. She begins sharing information that she has shared a thousand times before; she needs no notes. Then suddenly, a word escapes from her. The pause seems to last forever while she struggles to find the word. Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk. Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue (出乎意外) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house. Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). As Alice’s condition worsens, she loses the ability to enjoy books and movies because she can no longer follow the plots. She doesn’t know how to spend her days. The once famous expert in linguistics (语言学), who was used to a busy schedule, suddenly has nothing really to do. She depends on her husband, John, and their three grown children, but she loses touch with everyone else. Although life was disappearing for Alice, it was moving on for her family. Anna, one of her daughters, has twins. Alice’s husband, a successful scientist in his own field, decides to accept a position in New York City and move there leaving Alice with their children. Not long before he leaves, John takes Alice to their beach house for one last vacation. While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself. With John gone, a nurse comes to take care of Alice, who no longer recognizes her own children. Her daughters help care for her every day. 4. What does Alice think causes her mistake when giving a talk at Stanford University? A The long plane trip. B. Her clumsiness. C. Her forgetting the notes. D. The busy schedule. 5.

She can’t remember herself. B. She blames her husband. C. She is quite lonely every day. D. She feels sorry for herself. C All authorities on the style of English essays agree that good writing is brief. Careful writers say what they mean in as few words as possible. A classic statement of this principle appears in the famous little book of William Strunk, Jr., and E. B. White, The Elements of Style: “Vigorous (有力的) writing is brief. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.” It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence — that is, which add nothing to the meaning — should be edited out. Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese,(or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese) contains unnecessary words. Draft translations are commonly full of them, and even polished final versions are rarely free of them. Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers — a magazine article, a news story, an advertisement — and you are likely to find unnecessary words. Read even the shortest of English texts — the label on a food product, a billboard on the street,’: company name on the front of a building — and, if you are on the alert to recognize the chances are that you will find words that could and should have been left out. Unnecessary words are the typical quality of Chinglish. Unnecessary words can be any part of speech — nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb prepositions, articles (冠词), and so on. In the following chapters we shall consider the important types, starting with unnecessary nouns and verbs, which often go hand in hand. 8. What does the book The Elements of Style advocate? A. A sentence should be as short as possible. B. Unnecessary words shouldn’t be in a sentence. C. A drawing should have vivid colors. D. A machine should function perfectly. 9. What is the main idea of the last three paragraphs? A. Unnecessary words is a common issue. B. Only Chinglish contains unnecessary words. C. Readers should be careful about unnecessary words. D. Polished sentences could avoid unnecessary words. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards unnecessary words? A. Tolerant. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 11. According to the text, which of the following doesn’t contain unnecessary words? A. ... to accelerate the speed of economic reform. B. ... there have been good harvests in agriculture. C. We should adopt a series of measures to ensure that. D ... living standards in urban and rural areas continued to rise. D Several years ago, not long after we welcomed a puppy into the family, my shoulder became stiff (僵硬) and sore. It quickly changed into “frozen. shoulder”—a condition that commonly strikes women in their 40s and can be triggered (触发) by repetitive pressure. I assumed it was from the dogs constantly pulling on their leads like an out-of-control yo-yo (溜溜球). My husband of nearly two decades was, of course, sympathetic about the burning pain that shot down my arm whenever I reached for something slightly out of range. But then, a few months later, a strange thing happened: my husband developed a frozen shoulder in his left arm, too. It wasn’t from the dogs—I did most of the walking. I would have chalked it up to coincidence, but when I started experiencing: tendonitis (肌腱炎) in my right arm last year—likely a result of too many hours spent on my laptop—my husband began complaining about pain in his arm at the same time, and he rarely sits at a desk all day long. What were the chances? A quick Google search turned up a story about how long-term couples have a tendency to become very similar in health over time. “People have been aware of this phenomenon for the last half century—that we’re connected—but now we have some methods to begin to model these dynamics (相互作用) in new ways,” says Shannon Mejia, an assistant professor of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. To explain how my husband and I both became stricken with a frozen shoulder within months of each other Professor Mejia suspects that the same behaviour over the years might have led to similarities in posture and fragility, which could have resulted in the same shoulder injury. Called “postural synchrony (同步性)” in psychology circles, ours is a more extreme case of two people whose feet fall into step while walking or who lean into one another like mirror images to show interest on a date. 12. Why does the author mention the couple’s similar symptoms in the beginning? A. To introduce the topic. B. To play a practical joke. C. To satisfy the readers. D. To illustrate her point. 13. What does the underlined expression “chalk it up to” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Prevent. B. Ignore. C. Blame. D. Tackle. 14. According to Professor Mejia, what accounted for the couple’s similar symptoms? A. Naughty pets. B. Deep devotion. C. Strong beliefs. D. Identical lifestyle. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Serious Issues Between Couples B. Approaching Science. C. Great Couples Feel Alike D. A Mystery To Be Addressed 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。 When was the last time something important slipped your mind? Maybe it was the answer to a test question, the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys. ___16___ People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice. When students want to prepare for a test they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc. ___17___ People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it. ___18___ Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example, you could sketch or diagram the information, or you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it. A psychologist (心理学家) named Herman Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. ___19___ Every time the person reviews the information it causes them to forget less of it — which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. ___20___ Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it. A. Practice makes perfect. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Fortunately, memory can be improved. D. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently. E. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. F. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. G. But these methods of remembering are not always effective. 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。 I was born and live in Seattle, and for forty-five years, not a day has gone by that I haven’t drunk coffee.

Recently, noticing the ___22___ in my consumption over the years, my wife innocently ___23___ that I “take a little break” from coffee. The very suggestion made me mad. “Here’s an idea,” I ___24___, heart rate rocketing. “Why don’t we just live apart for a year so it feels more like it did when we were first married?” A(n)___25___? I think not. Assuming that coffee does keep me ___26___ for an extra few days or decades, I know how I’ll spend them: drinking more coffee, or darker and darker roasts, whose ___27___ smell helps fight age-related loss of taste and smell. My Spanish mother-in-law, whom I loved like my own mother, died last summer at the age of 93. She was sharp as ever and the ___28___ person I knew, up to the very end. She also ___29___ multiple cups of coffee every day until her last. Our ___30___ love of coffee drew us together before we even spoke the same language, and ___31___ our relationship for more than three decades. In her last weeks, I was lecturing in Barcelona and spending my ___32___ time with her, downing many ___33___ and chatting about the ___34___ to happiness. Here was her formula: ——love, faith, and coffee. In my opinion, that sounds ___35___ indeed. 21. A. harms B. greets C. addicts D. confuses 22. A. increase B. hesitation C. excitement D. curiosity 23. A. offered B. ordered C. negotiated D. proposed 24. A. encouraged B. discovered C. replied D. demanded 25. A. expectation B. imagination C. warning D. overreaction 26.

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (紧盯着他们). One day, Tom took Jane’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Jane agreed and the two decided to share Tom’s running shoes. Jane’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Tom. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Tom often arrived late and was warned by the school. Tom heard about a long-distance race that would be held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Tom had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Jane and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, another runner collided (碰撞 ) with Tom from behind and he crashed to the ground. 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。 Tom looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filled with pleasure, Tom walked home without any delay. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 咸宁市 2023—2024学年度下学期高中期末考试 高二英语试卷 本试卷共10页，时长120分钟，满分 150分。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Then suddenly, a word escapes from her. The pause seems to last forever while she struggles to find the word. Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk. Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue (出乎意外) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house. Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). As Alice’s condition worsens, she loses the ability to enjoy books and movies because she can no longer follow the plots. She doesn’t know how to spend her days. The once famous expert in linguistics (语言学), who was used to a busy schedule, suddenly has nothing really to do. She depends on her husband, John, and their three grown children, but she loses touch with everyone else. Although life was disappearing for Alice, it was moving on for her family. Anna, one of her daughters, has twins. Alice’s husband, a successful scientist in his own field, decides to accept a position in New York City and move there leaving Alice with their children. Not long before he leaves, John takes Alice to their beach house for one last vacation. While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself. With John gone, a nurse comes to take care of Alice, who no longer recognizes her own children. Her daughters help care for her every day. 4. What does Alice think causes her mistake when giving a talk at Stanford University? A The long plane trip. B. Her clumsiness. C. Her forgetting the notes. D. The busy schedule. 5. What does Alice feel when she first gets lost in her neighborhood? A. Embarrassed. B. Frightened. C. Thrilled. D. Annoyed. 6. How does Alice realize she may be ill? A.

She can’t remember herself. B. She blames her husband. C. She is quite lonely every day. D. She feels sorry for herself. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了哈佛大学著名心理学教授爱丽丝从发现阿尔兹海默症到确诊，再到病情恶化的过程，以及家庭成员对此的反应和对她的支持。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk.(最后，她笨拙地使用了“stuff”这个词，继续讲下去，认为这次口误是由于时差造成的)”可知，爱丽丝认为她在斯坦福大学演讲时出现的失误是由长途飞行引起的时差效应。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic.(她知道自己在哈佛广场，但不知道回家的路在哪。她开始惊慌失措)”可知，当爱丽丝第一次在她熟悉的社区里迷路时，她感到害怕。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue( 出乎意外 ) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house.(回到家中，爱丽丝决定去跑步。她沿着熟悉的路线前进，但突然之间，这条路变得陌生起来。她知道自己身处哈佛广场，但却不知道回家的方向。她开始恐慌。然后，正如她的方向感突然消失一样，它又突然回来了。她迅速步行回到了家)”及第四段“Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.(爱丽丝时不时会犯一些小错误。但直到这些错误变得越来越频繁时，她才进行了一系列检查，证实她患有早发性阿尔茨海默病)”可知，爱丽丝意识到她可能生病是因为她不断忘记熟悉的事情。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself.(在那里，爱丽丝有一刻头脑清晰，告诉约翰她记得他，记得自己曾经很聪明。约翰向她保证，她是他所认识的最聪明的人，而爱丽丝则回应说她想念过去的自己)”可推知，爱丽丝说“她想念自己”是因为她对自己现在的状况感到遗憾，她怀念过去聪明、有能力的自己。故选D项。 C All authorities on the style of English essays agree that good writing is brief. Careful writers say what they mean in as few words as possible. A classic statement of this principle appears in the famous little book of William Strunk, Jr., and E. B. White, The Elements of Style: “Vigorous (有力的) writing is brief. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.” It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence — that is, which add nothing to the meaning — should be edited out. Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese,(or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese) contains unnecessary words. Draft translations are commonly full of them, and even polished final versions are rarely free of them. Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers — a magazine article, a news story, an advertisement — and you are likely to find unnecessary words. Read even the shortest of English texts — the label on a food product, a billboard on the street,’: company name on the front of a building — and, if you are on the alert to recognize the chances are that you will find words that could and should have been left out. Unnecessary words are the typical quality of Chinglish. Unnecessary words can be any part of speech — nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb prepositions, articles (冠词), and so on. In the following chapters we shall consider the important types, starting with unnecessary nouns and verbs, which often go hand in hand. 8. What does the book The Elements of Style advocate? A. A sentence should be as short as possible. B. Unnecessary words shouldn’t be in a sentence. C. A drawing should have vivid colors. D. A machine should function perfectly. 9. What is the main idea of the last three paragraphs? A. Unnecessary words is a common issue. B. Only Chinglish contains unnecessary words. C. Readers should be careful about unnecessary words. D. Polished sentences could avoid unnecessary words. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards unnecessary words? A Tolerant. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 11. According to the text, which of the following doesn’t contain unnecessary words? A. ... to accelerate the speed of economic reform. B. ... there have been good harvests in agriculture. C. We should adopt a series of measures to ensure that. D. ... living standards in urban and rural areas continued to rise. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英文写作中多余的词的问题，列举了哪些词是多余的词。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.(一个句子不能有多余的单词，一个段落不能有多余的句子，就像一幅画不能有多余的线条，一台机器不能有多余的零件一样)”可知，《风格的要素》这本书提倡不需要的词不应该出现在句子里。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段“Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese,(or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese) contains unnecessary words.(几乎每一篇从中文翻译成英文的文章(或由以中文为母语的人直接用英文写成的文章)都含有不必要的词)”；倒数第二段“Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers—a magazine article, a news story, an advertisement—and you are likely to find unnecessary words.(阅读任何为外国读者发表的英文文章——一篇杂志文章、一篇新闻报道、一则广告——你很可能会发现不必要的单词)”以及最后一段“Unnecessary words can be any part of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb prepositions, articles (冠词), and so on.(不需要的词可以是言语的任何部分——名词、动词、形容词、副词介词、冠词等等)”可知，最后三段的主旨是多余的单词是一个常见的问题。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the following chapters we shall consider the important types, starting with unnecessary nouns and verbs, which often go hand in hand.(在接下来的章节中，我们将考虑重要的类型，从不必要的名词和动词开始，它们通常是齐头并进的)”可知，作者认为多余的词语至关重要。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence—that is, which add nothing to the meaning—should be edited out.(由此可见，任何在句子中不起任何作用的词——也就是说，对句子的意思没有任何增加作用的词——都应该被删去)”最后一段“Unnecessary words can be any part of speech—nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb prepositions, articles (冠词), and so on.(不需要的词可以是言语的任何部分——名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词、冠词等等)”可知，A选项名词speed多余、B选项agriculture 多余；C选项that多余，D选项不包含不必要的单词。故选D。 D Several years ago, not long after we welcomed a puppy into the family, my shoulder became stiff (僵硬) and sore. It quickly changed into “frozen. shoulder”—a condition that commonly strikes women in their 40s and can be triggered (触发) by repetitive pressure. I assumed it was from the dogs constantly pulling on their leads like an out-of-control yo-yo (溜溜球). My husband of nearly two decades was, of course, sympathetic about the burning pain that shot down my arm whenever I reached for something slightly out of range. But then, a few months later, a strange thing happened: my husband developed a frozen shoulder in his left arm, too. It wasn’t from the dogs—I did most of the walking. I would have chalked it up to coincidence, but when I started experiencing: tendonitis (肌腱炎) in my right arm last year—likely a result of too many hours spent on my laptop—my husband began complaining about pain in his arm at the same time, and he rarely sits at a desk all day long. What were the chances? A quick Google search turned up a story about how long-term couples have a tendency to become very similar in health over time. “People have been aware of this phenomenon for the last half century—that we’re connected—but now we have some methods to begin to model these dynamics (相互作用) in new ways,” says Shannon Mejia, an assistant professor of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. To explain how my husband and I both became stricken with a frozen shoulder within months of each other, Professor Mejia suspects that the same behaviour over the years might have led to similarities in posture and fragility, which could have resulted in the same shoulder injury. Called “postural synchrony (同步性)” in psychology circles, ours is a more extreme case of two people whose feet fall into step while walking or who lean into one another like mirror images to show interest on a date. 12. Why does the author mention the couple’s similar symptoms in the beginning? A. To introduce the topic. B. To play a practical joke. C. To satisfy the readers. D. To illustrate her point. 13. What does the underlined expression “chalk it up to” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Prevent. B. Ignore. C. Blame. D. Tackle. 14. According to Professor Mejia, what accounted for the couple’s similar symptoms? A. Naughty pets. B. Deep devotion. C. Strong beliefs. D. Identical lifestyle. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Serious Issues Between Couples B. Approaching Science. C. Great Couples Feel Alike D. A Mystery To Be Addressed 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以作者和丈夫身上发生了相同的病症为例，说明了夫妇因为相同的生活方式会导致健康状况出现相似问题的情况。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Several years ago, not long after we welcomed a puppy into the family, my shoulder became stiff (僵硬) and sore. It quickly changed into “frozen. shoulder”—a condition that commonly strikes women in their 40s and can be triggered (触发) by repetitive pressure. I assumed it was from the dogs constantly pulling on their leads like an out-of-control yo-yo (溜溜球).(几年前，我们家刚迎来一只小狗不久，我的肩膀变得僵硬和酸痛。它很快变成了“冻结”。这是一种常见于40多岁女性的疾病，可由反复的压力引发。我以为是因为狗不停地拉牵引绳，就像一个失控的溜溜球)”以及第二段“My husband of nearly two decades was, of course, sympathetic about the burning pain that shot down my arm whenever I reached for something slightly out of range. But then, a few months later, a strange thing happened: my husband developed a frozen shoulder in his left arm, too.(当然，和我结婚近二十年的丈夫对我每次伸手去拿稍微超出范围的东西时手臂灼痛的感觉深表同情。但几个月后，一件奇怪的事情发生了：我丈夫的左臂也出现了肩周炎)”可知，作者在开头提到这对夫妇的相似症状是为了引出话题——夫妇因为相同的生活方式会导致健康状况出现相似问题的情况。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“when I started experiencing: tendonitis (肌腱炎) in my right arm last year—likely a result of too many hours spent on my laptop—my husband began complaining about pain in his arm at the same time, and he rarely sits at a desk all day long.(去年，当我的右臂开始出现肌腱炎时（很可能是因为我花了太多时间在笔记本电脑上），我丈夫也开始抱怨他的手臂疼痛，而且他很少整天坐在办公桌前)”结合上文but表示转折，说明作者一开始把这样的事情归咎于巧合，结果发现去年两人也有相同的情况。故划线词意思是“归咎于”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To explain how my husband and I both became stricken with a frozen shoulder within months of each other, Professor Mejia suspects that the same behaviour over the years might have led to similarities in posture and fragility, which could have resulted in the same shoulder injury.(为了解释我和我丈夫是如何在几个月内相继患上肩周炎的，梅贾教授猜测，多年来同样的行为可能导致了我们在姿势和脆弱程度上的相似，从而导致了同样的肩周炎)”可知，相同的生活方式导致了这对夫妇的相似症状。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“A quick Google search turned up a story about how long-term couples have a tendency to become very similar in health over time.(在谷歌上快速搜索一下，就会发现一个关于长期伴侣在健康状况上如何随着时间的推移变得非常相似的故事)”结合文章主要以作者和丈夫身上发生了相同的病症为例，说明了夫妇因为相同的生活方式会导致健康状况出现相似问题的情况。可知，C选项“好夫妻有相似之处”最符合文章标题。故选C。 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。 When was the last time something important slipped your mind? Maybe it was the answer to a test question, the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys. ___16___ People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice. When students want to prepare for a test they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc. ___17___ People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it. ___18___ Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example, you could sketch or diagram the information, or you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it. A psychologist (心理学家) named Herman Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. ___19___ Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it — which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. ___20___ Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it. A Practice makes perfect. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Fortunately, memory can be improved. D. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently. E. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. F. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. G. But these methods of remembering are not always effective. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高记忆力的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“When was the last time something important slipped your mind? Maybe it was the answer to a test question, the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys.(你上一次忘记重要的事情是什么时候？可能是考试的答案，熟人的名字，或者是你把钥匙放在了哪里)”用提问的方式引出文章主题，下文“People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice.(人们的记忆力与其说是天生的才能，不如说是训练和练习的结果)”探讨记忆力的本质，C项“幸运的是，记忆力是可以提高的。”作为过渡句，既回应了开头的疑问，又引出了关于记忆力提升的话题，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“When students want to prepare for a test they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc.(当学生们想要为考试做准备时，他们常常试图通过简单地再次浏览材料，抄写笔记等方式来学习)”提到学生备考时常用的学习方法，下文“People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it.(人们在主动参与学习材料而非被动接收时，往往能记住更多)”介绍更有效的学习策略，G项“但是这些记忆方法并不总是有效的。”转折说明了上文方法的局限性，为后文作铺垫，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it.(人们在主动参与学习材料而非被动接收时，往往能记住更多)”指出主动参与学习比被动接受更有利于记忆，下文“Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example, you could sketch or diagram the information, or you could write your own outline or study guide.(围绕主题提出问题，并尝试不看笔记就回答这些问题。以不同的方式与学习材料互动也是有帮助的。例如，你可以绘制信息的草图或图表，或者自己编写大纲或学习指南)”强调了在学习过程中采用主动学习策略的重要性，F项“一个非常有效的方法是，对自己所学的材料进行自我测试。”针对上文给出了具体建议，又是对下文的概括，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“A psychologist named Herman Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it.(一位名叫赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯的心理学家对记忆和遗忘做出了重要发现。他发现人们倾向于按照一定的模式遗忘信息。他们在刚学习完信息后会遗忘最多)”提到了赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯关于遗忘规律的发现，E项“随着时间的推移，遗忘速度会逐渐减慢。”进一步解释了遗忘规律，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it——which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them.(每当一个人复习信息时，就会导致他们遗忘得更少，也就是说，记住的更多。因此，在学习之后不久复习你想记住的东西至关重要)”强调了及时复习的重要性，D项“随着时间的推移，你可以越来越少地复习它们。”说明了随着记忆的巩固，复习的频率可以逐渐减少，是对前文复习策略的补充说明，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was born and live in Seattle, and for forty-five years, not a day has gone by that I haven’t drunk coffee.

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (紧盯着他们). One day, Tom took Jane’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Jane agreed and the two decided to share Tom’s running shoes. Jane’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Tom. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Tom often arrived late and was warned by the school. Tom heard about a long-distance race that would be held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Tom had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Jane and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, another runner collided (碰撞 ) with Tom from behind and he crashed to the ground. 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。 Tom looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filled with pleasure, Tom walked home without any delay. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Instead of giving up, he struggled to his feet and ran as fast as his feet could carry him. Finally he made it to the finish line, but only to get the fourth. Thinking he would let her sister down, Tom couldn’t help sobbing. Just then, it was announced that he won-the third prize as the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule. Yes, he won the shoes. Filled with pleasure, Tom walked home without any delay. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Tom found Jane was waiting outside. She was wondering nervously whether her brother had brought her the shoes. “Jane, see what I have got for you.” He took the prize out. The instant Jane saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Tom. “Thank you. Tom!” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以鞋子为线索展开，讲述了汤姆和妹妹简生活在贫困中，父亲失业，母亲生病。汤姆弄丢了妹妹的鞋子后，两人共用一双跑鞋上学。有一次城里要举办跑步比赛，三等奖奖品是一双鞋，汤姆决定参加。比赛中汤姆虽然很累，但是他坚持一定要赢得第三名，但是突然，他被后面的人撞倒摔在了地上。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤姆抬头一看，看见其他几个男孩正冲在前面。”可知，第一段可描写汤姆站起来继续向前冲，获得了第四名，他很伤心，但是随后广播宣布他获得了三等奖，因为与他相撞的运动员因违反规则而被取消了比赛资格，汤姆最终为妹妹赢得了奖品。 ②由第二段首句内容“汤姆很高兴，毫不拖延地走回家”可知，第二段可描写汤姆回家把奖品送给妹妹的过程。 2.续写线索：站起来继续跑——获得第四名——发生转折赢得奖品——把奖品带回家——兄妹非常开心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/quit ②哭泣：sob/weep ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①令人激动的：thrilling/exciting ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Thinking he would let her sister down, Tom couldn’t help sobbing.
