By the time she was 15, Kitty was dancing with the New Orleans Civic Ballet. She studied with famous teachers and graced the stage in celebrated ballets such as Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. When she was older, Kitty moved to New York City, where she worked as an actress and a dancer. Kitty was getting ready to perform in her first Broadway show when her life changed forever. While hurrying to rehearsal (彩排), Kitty slipped on some ice and fell down a flight of stairs, resulting in a back injury that left her a paraplegic (瘫痪). This means she can move her arms and body but not her legs. It also means that Kitty now uses a wheelchair to get around. At first, Kitty thought her life as a dancer was over. Then she learned something important. “The dancer was inside me,” she said, “I didn’t know or care that I was using a wheelchair. I just want to keep dancing.” This realization lit a hope within her, and Kitty set her mind to find a way to continue her passion for dance. In 1994, Kitty Lunn founded Infinity Dance Theater. Its members are dancers with and without disabilities. They used movements from ballet, modern dance, and jazz. Like some of the other dancers, Kitty used a special lightweight wheelchair that allows her to move with grace and smooth on stage. When the 1996 Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia, Kitty was there. She performed a dance called The Dancer Within. This title is a good description of what Kitty believes. The Infinity dancers perform all over the world. They also help dance teachers learn to work with students who have disabilities. There are many other dance companies that include both wheelchair and standing dancers. Each of them would agree with Kitty’s advice when she says, “Listen to the dancer in your heart.” There’s always a way to dance! 24. How did Kitty Lunn approach her career after the accident? A. By working as an actress. B. By joining a dance company. C. By serving as a dance teacher. D. By dancing with a wheelchair. 25. What is special about the Infinity Dance Theater? A. It mixes different styles of dance. B. Its dancers perform in America alone. C. It centers on teaching traditional ballet. D. It only admits dancers with disabilities. 26.

What can we learn from Kitty Lunn’s experience? A. Everyone is equal in the face of suffering. B. Dancers should focus on performances. C. Success requires hard work and fortune. D. Dance spirit goes beyond physical limits. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kitty Lunn在一次意外中成为瘫痪，但她没有放弃舞蹈梦想，创立了Infinity Dance Theater，用轮椅继续在舞台上展现舞蹈之美。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It also means that Kitty now uses a wheelchair to get around.(这也意味着凯蒂现在得使用轮椅来移动)”及第四段“Like some of the other dancers, Kitty used a special lightweight wheelchair that allows her to move with grace and smooth on stage.(像其他一些舞者一样，凯蒂使用一种特殊的轻型轮椅，让她能够在舞台上优雅流畅地移动)”可知，Kitty Lunn在遭遇事故后，通过使用轮椅继续她的舞蹈事业。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They used movements from ballet, modern dance, and jazz.(他们融合了芭蕾、现代舞和爵士舞的动作)”可知，Infinity Dance Theater融合了不同风格的舞蹈。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““The dancer was inside me,” she said, “I didn’t know or care that I was using a wheelchair. I just want to keep dancing.”(“舞者就在我内心，”她说，“我不知道也不关心自己是在使用轮椅。我只想继续跳舞”)”及第四段“In 1994, Kitty Lunn founded Infinity Dance Theater. Its members are dancers with and without disabilities. They used movements from ballet, modern dance, and jazz. Like some of the other dancers, Kitty used a special lightweight wheelchair that allows her to move with grace and smooth on stage.(1994年，凯蒂·卢恩创立了无限舞蹈剧场。其成员包括有残疾和无残疾的舞者。他们融合了芭蕾、现代舞和爵士舞的动作。像其他一些舞者一样，凯蒂使用一种特殊的轻型轮椅，让她能够在舞台上优雅流畅地移动)”可知，Kitty Lunn在遭遇重大人生变故后，没有放弃自己的梦想，而是创造性地找到了继续舞蹈的方式，这显示了她的决心和创造力。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文及文章最后一段““Listen to the dancer in your heart.” There’s always a way to dance!(“聆听你心中的舞者。”总有一种方式可以跳舞！)”可知，Kitty Lunn的故事告诉我们，舞蹈的精神和热情是超越身体限制的。即使面对身体的挑战，只要心中有舞蹈的热爱，总有方法可以继续舞蹈。故选D项。 C There are nearly 200 species of poison dart frogs, known for their bright colours and highly poisonous skin. Not only are they beautiful, they can also do a kind of tapdance. The frogs have a habit of tapping the middle toes on their back feet. Scientists have never fully worked out what the frogs are trying to achieve but a recent study could have solved the puzzle. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, in the US, filmed 22 dyeing poison dart frogs in enclosures (围场) that had soil, leaves and rocks on the ground — much like the frogs’ natural habitat. At feeding time, the hungry frogs had one of their favourite foods — fruit flies put in front of them. The researchers found that the frogs tapped their toes an average of 389 times a minute when they had flies in their enclosure, compared to 50 times a minute when they didn’t. The researchers discovered that the frogs changed the amount of tapping depending on the type of surface they were on. They tapped more than twice as quickly on leaves as they did on soil, glass or a type of gel. The researchers think this behaviour could be the frogs’ way of getting the flies moving, making them easier to spot and therefore easier to catch. “Frogs can only really forage when prey (猎物) is alive and moving,” explained Eva Fischer, who is one of the study’s authors. Leaves carry vibrations (震动) better than other surfaces, so it makes sense for the frogs to tap more on leafy ground to take advantage of this. To further test their theory, the researchers placed the flies in small dishes where the frogs could see them but not consume them. When this happened, the frogs still tried to catch the flies but only tapped at a rate of around 50 times a minute. This observation suggests that the frogs only tapdance when they think they have a realistic chance of catching their prey. 28. What did the researchers study about the poison dart frogs? A. Their hunting habits. B. Their natural reactions. C. Their feeding behaviors. D. Their toe-tapping habits. 29. Why do the frogs tap more on leafy ground? A. Leaves are comfortable for tapping. B. They communicate with other frogs. C. Leaves help strengthen movement of flies. D. They enjoy the sound produced from leaves. 30. What does the underlined word “forage” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Tap toes. B. Find food. C. Change colour. D. Produce poison. 31. What does the experiment with the small dishes indicate? A. Frogs tap when flies are eatable. B. Frog tapping links to food presence. C. Frogs tap when prey seems catchable. D. Frogs could recognize different flies. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了毒箭蛙通过敲击脚趾的方式吸引猎物并提高捕食效率，这种行为在自然环境中帮助它们更好地生存和捕食。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The frogs have a habit of tapping the middle toes on their back feet. Scientists have never fully worked out what the frogs are trying to achieve but a recent study could have solved the puzzle.(青蛙们习惯性地敲击后脚中间的脚趾，但科学家们从未完全解开这种行为的目的，直到最近的一项研究可能解开了谜团)”可知，研究人员专注于研究毒箭蛙的脚趾敲击习惯。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The researchers think this behaviour could be the frogs’ way of getting the flies moving, making them easier to spot and therefore easier to catch.(研究人员认为，这种行为可能是青蛙让苍蝇移动的一种方式，使它们更容易被发现，从而更容易被捕获)”及“Leaves carry vibrations better than other surfaces, so it makes sense for the frogs to tap more on leafy ground to take advantage of this.(树叶比其他表面更能传递振动，所以青蛙在树叶繁茂的地面上多拍打以利用这一点是有道理的)”可知，青蛙在叶面上敲击得更多，是因为叶子能更好地传递震动，有助于增强苍蝇的移动，从而捕捉猎物。故选C项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词前“The researchers think this behaviour could be the frogs’ way of getting the flies moving, making them easier to spot and therefore easier to catch.(研究人员认为，这种行为可能是青蛙让苍蝇移动的一种方式，使它们更容易被发现，从而更容易被捕获)”及划线词后“when prey is alive and moving(当猎物活着并移动时)”可推知，青蛙只有当猎物还活着并在移动时才能发现猎物真正觅食，故划线词与B项“寻找食物”意义相近。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This observation suggests that the frogs only tapdance when they think they have a realistic chance of catching their prey.(这一观察结果表明，青蛙只有在认为有实际捕获猎物的机会时才会进行踢踏舞式的敲击)”可知，使用小盘子的实验表明，青蛙只在猎物看起来是可以捕捉的时候才会进行敲击。故选C项。 D Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a Chinese mega-science project which aims to build a 500-meter diameter active reflector radio telescope in Guizhou province, to achieve wide sky-coverage and high sensitivity (灵敏度) for astronomical observations (天体观察). The construction of FAST started on March 25, 2011 and finished on September 25, 2016 as planned. On January 11, 2020, FAST passed national examination and began formal operation. Claimed as the China Sky Eye, FAST is the world’s largest single-dish and the most sensitive radio telescope. “It has identified more than 900 new pulsars (脉冲星) since its launch,” its operator said Wednesday. Han Jinlin, a scientist with the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) , said that the pulsars included over 120 binary pulsars, more than 170 millisecond pulsars, and 80 faint and intermittent pulsars. Han added that over the past 50 years since the discovery of the first pulsar, less than 3,000 pulsars were discovered worldwide, and the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than three times the total number of pulsars found by foreign telescopes. “The study is meaningful for understanding the dead stars in the Milky Way and their radiation characteristics,” Han said. Pulsar observation is an important task for FAST, which can be used to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, and help find answers to many other major questions in physics. Jiang Peng, chief engineer of the FAST, said that all staff members made every effort to improve the performance of the telescope. At present, the annual observation time of the telescope is about 5,300 hours, and it plays an important role in the continuous output of scientific research achievements. 32. When was FAST put into use formally? A. In 2011. B. In 2015. C. In 2016 D. In 2020. 33. What can we know about FAST according to Han Jinlin? A. It is the costliest project in the world. B. It is the largest telescope in the world. C. It has the highest sensitivity in the world. D. It discovered the most pulsars in the world. 34. What is the significance of pulsars observation? A. For physical research. B. For telescope test. C. For theoretical assumption. D. For data collection. 35. Which aspect of FAST does this passage mainly talk about? A. Its location. B. Its construction. C. Its advancement. D. Its operation. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国建造的世界最大、最灵敏的FAST望远镜在贵州投入使用，已发现900多个新脉冲星，对理解银河系死星和寻找物理重大答案具有重要价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On January 11, 2020, FAST passed national examination and began formal operation.(2020年1月11日，FAST通过国家验收，正式投入运行)”可知，FAST在2020年正式投入使用。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““It has identified more than 900 new pulsars since its launch,” its operator said Wednesday.(“自投入使用以来，已发现了900多颗新的脉冲星，”其运营商周三表示)”及第三段“Han added that over the past 50 years since the discovery of the first pulsar, less than 3,000 pulsars were discovered worldwide, and the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than three times the total number of pulsars found by foreign telescopes.(韩金林补充说，自发现第一颗脉冲星后的50年来，全球发现的脉冲星数量不到3000颗，而FAST发现的新脉冲星数量超过了外国望远镜发现的总脉冲星数量的三倍)”可推知，FAST发现了世界上最多的脉冲星。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Pulsar observation is an important task for FAST, which can be used to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, and help find answers to many other major questions in physics.(脉冲星观测是FAST的一项重要任务，它可用于证实引力辐射和黑洞的存在，同时有助于解答物理学中的许多其他重大问题)”可知，脉冲星观测的意义是对物理研究意义重大。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，整篇文章主要围绕FAST的先进性进行描述，包括其尺寸、灵敏度以及它在脉冲星观测方面的成就，强调了FAST作为世界上最大的单碟望远镜和最灵敏的射电望远镜的地位，以及它在科学研究中的应用和贡献。故选C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。 The Importance of Time Management As high school students, we’re often caught between the demands of schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal interests.

We did not notice the time passing by, and soon it was close to ten in the night. We decided to take a taxi to go to our house. It started raining, and none of the taxis stopped for us, except one. The driver looked very worried and sad asking us where we wanted to go and we told the place. Without delay, he said warmly, “Please get in! ”We thanked him and got in. Since it was very cold, I asked the driver to stop at any small restaurant or a tea shop. We wanted to have a cup of hot tea. The driver hesitated for a moment, wanted to say something, but gave up. And then he stopped near a small restaurant. We ordered tea, and asked the driver to join us and have a cup of tea. The driver refused. I insisted, but he refused again politely. My friend asked, “Will you not take tea from this shop or what?” The driver replied, “No Sir, I don’t feel like having tea now.” I asked again. But, why? A cup of tea will do no harm.” Worrying, but still smiling, the driver replied, “Thank you sir, but I’m sorry.” My friend asked, “Are you against eating or drinking outside?” The driver said “No!” I was really surprised at his behavior and asked my friend not to force him. In 15 minutes, we reached our house. We paid the fare and the driver thanked us. After thinking over and over again, I stopped him, as I really wanted to ask him why he refused to drink tea with us at the restaurant. He thought for a moment and replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We both were surprised and offered him more money for his son’s treatment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 He thought for a moment and replied, “It’s not that I don’t want to join you, sirs. It’s just that...my son is in the hospital right now. He’s been sick for a while, and we’ve been struggling financially to pay for his treatment. So, when you asked me to stop for tea, I was torn. On one hand, I wanted to be polite and accommodate your request, but on the other, every penny counts towards my son’s recovery. I didn’t want to burden you with my problems, and I’m grateful for your kindness in offering, but I just couldn’t accept it.” We both were surprised and offered him more money for his son’s treatment. Without hesitation, my friend and I exchanged a look and decided to help. “Please, let us do something to assist you and your son,” I said sincerely. “Here, take this extra money. It’s not much, but we hope it can go some way towards easing your financial burden.” We handed him an envelope containing all the cash we had on us, more than what we had paid for the taxi ride. The driver’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at us, overcome with emotion. “Thank you, thank you so much. Your kindness will never be forgotten.” He bowed deeply before driving off, leaving us standing there, feeling a sense of warmth amidst the cold and windy night. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个寒冷的夜晚，作者和朋友决定乘出租车回家，作者邀请司机一同去喝茶，司机拒绝了并且说明了自己家的经济困难。于是作者和朋友给予了司机帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他想了一会儿，回答说……”可知，第一段可描写司机讲述自己遇到的经济困难。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们都很惊讶，并为他儿子的治疗提供了更多的钱”可知，第二段可描写作者和朋友帮助司机和感悟。 2.续写线索：司机解释——遇到困难——惊讶——提供钱——司机感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迎合：accommodate/cater ②重要：count/matter ③帮助：assist /help 情绪类 ①感谢：grateful/thankful ②善良：kindness/goodwill 【点睛】[高分句型1] The driver’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at us, overcome with emotion.

She studied with famous teachers and graced the stage in celebrated ballets such as Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. When she was older, Kitty moved to New York City, where she worked as an actress and a dancer. Kitty was getting ready to perform in her first Broadway show when her life changed forever. While hurrying to rehearsal (彩排), Kitty slipped on some ice and fell down a flight of stairs, resulting in a back injury that left her a paraplegic (瘫痪). This means she can move her arms and body but not her legs. It also means that Kitty now uses a wheelchair to get around. At first, Kitty thought her life as a dancer was over. Then she learned something important. “The dancer was inside me,” she said, “I didn’t know or care that I was using a wheelchair. I just want to keep dancing.” This realization lit a hope within her, and Kitty set her mind to find a way to continue her passion for dance. In 1994, Kitty Lunn founded Infinity Dance Theater. Its members are dancers with and without disabilities. They used movements from ballet, modern dance, and jazz. Like some of the other dancers, Kitty used a special lightweight wheelchair that allows her to move with grace and smooth on stage. When the 1996 Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia, Kitty was there. She performed a dance called The Dancer Within. This title is a good description of what Kitty believes. The Infinity dancers perform all over the world. They also help dance teachers learn to work with students who have disabilities. There are many other dance companies that include both wheelchair and standing dancers. Each of them would agree with Kitty’s advice when she says, “Listen to the dancer in your heart.” There’s always a way to dance! 24. How did Kitty Lunn approach her career after the accident? A. By working as an actress. B. By joining a dance company. C. By serving as a dance teacher. D. By dancing with a wheelchair. 25. What is special about the Infinity Dance Theater? A. It mixes different styles of dance. B. Its dancers perform in America alone. C. It centers on teaching traditional ballet. D. It only admits dancers with disabilities. 26. Which of the following best describes Kitty Lunn? A. Curious and honest. B. Selfless and confident. C. Determined and creative. D. Thoughtful and energetic. 27. What can we learn from Kitty Lunn’s experience? A. Everyone is equal in the face of suffering. B. Dancers should focus on performances. C. Success requires hard work and fortune. D. Dance spirit goes beyond physical limits. C There are nearly 200 species of poison dart frogs, known for their bright colours and highly poisonous skin. Not only are they beautiful, they can also do a kind of tapdance. The frogs have a habit of tapping the middle toes on their back feet. Scientists have never fully worked out what the frogs are trying to achieve but a recent study could have solved the puzzle. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, in the US, filmed 22 dyeing poison dart frogs in enclosures (围场) that had soil, leaves and rocks on the ground — much like the frogs’ natural habitat. At feeding time, the hungry frogs had one of their favourite foods — fruit flies put in front of them. The researchers found that the frogs tapped their toes an average of 389 times a minute when they had flies in their enclosure, compared to 50 times a minute when they didn’t. The researchers discovered that the frogs changed the amount of tapping depending on the type of surface they were on. They tapped more than twice as quickly on leaves as they did on soil, glass or a type of gel. The researchers think this behaviour could be the frogs’ way of getting the flies moving, making them easier to spot and therefore easier to catch. “Frogs can only really forage when prey (猎物) is alive and moving,” explained Eva Fischer, who is one of the study’s authors. Leaves carry vibrations (震动) better than other surfaces, so it makes sense for the frogs to tap more on leafy ground to take advantage of this. To further test their theory, the researchers placed the flies in small dishes where the frogs could see them but not consume them. When this happened, the frogs still tried to catch the flies but only tapped at a rate of around 50 times a minute. This observation suggests that the frogs only tapdance when they think they have a realistic chance of catching their prey. 28. What did the researchers study about the poison dart frogs? A. Their hunting habits. B. Their natural reactions. C. Their feeding behaviors. D. Their toe-tapping habits. 29 Why do the frogs tap more on leafy ground? A. Leaves are comfortable for tapping. B. They communicate with other frogs. C. Leaves help strengthen movement of flies. D. They enjoy the sound produced from leaves. 30. What does the underlined word “forage” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Tap toes. B. Find food. C. Change colour. D. Produce poison. 31 What does the experiment with the small dishes indicate? A. Frogs tap when flies are eatable. B. Frog tapping links to food presence. C. Frogs tap when prey seems catchable. D. Frogs could recognize different flies. D Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a Chinese mega-science project which aims to build a 500-meter diameter active reflector radio telescope in Guizhou province, to achieve wide sky-coverage and high sensitivity (灵敏度) for astronomical observations (天体观察). The construction of FAST started on March 25, 2011 and finished on September 25, 2016 as planned. On January 11, 2020, FAST passed national examination and began formal operation. Claimed as the China Sky Eye, FAST is the world’s largest single-dish and the most sensitive radio telescope. “It has identified more than 900 new pulsars (脉冲星) since its launch,” its operator said Wednesday. Han Jinlin, a scientist with the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) , said that the pulsars included over 120 binary pulsars, more than 170 millisecond pulsars, and 80 faint and intermittent pulsars. Han added that over the past 50 years since the discovery of the first pulsar, less than 3,000 pulsars were discovered worldwide, and the number of new pulsars discovered by FAST is more than three times the total number of pulsars found by foreign telescopes. “The study is meaningful for understanding the dead stars in the Milky Way and their radiation characteristics,” Han said. Pulsar observation is an important task for FAST, which can be used to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, and help find answers to many other major questions in physics. Jiang Peng, chief engineer of the FAST, said that all staff members made every effort to improve the performance of the telescope. At present, the annual observation time of the telescope is about 5,300 hours, and it plays an important role in the continuous output of scientific research achievements. 32. When was FAST put into use formally? A. In 2011. B. In 2015. C. In 2016 D. In 2020. 33. What can we know about FAST according to Han Jinlin? A. It is the costliest project in the world. B. It is the largest telescope in the world. C. It has the highest sensitivity in the world. D. It discovered the most pulsars in the world. 34. What is the significance of pulsars observation? A. For physical research. B. For telescope test. C. For theoretical assumption. D. For data collection. 35. Which aspect of FAST does this passage mainly talk about? A. Its location. B. Its construction. C. Its advancement. D. Its operation. 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。 The Importance of Time Management As high school students, we’re often caught between the demands of schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal interests.

My friend and I had met after a long time, and were chatting for hours. We did not notice the time passing by, and soon it was close to ten in the night. We decided to take a taxi to go to our house. It started raining, and none of the taxis stopped for us, except one. The driver looked very worried and sad, asking us where we wanted to go and we told the place. Without delay, he said warmly, “Please get in! ”We thanked him and got in. Since it was very cold, I asked the driver to stop at any small restaurant or a tea shop. We wanted to have a cup of hot tea. The driver hesitated for a moment, wanted to say something, but gave up. And then he stopped near a small restaurant. We ordered tea, and asked the driver to join us and have a cup of tea. The driver refused. I insisted, but he refused again politely. My friend asked, “Will you not take tea from this shop or what?” The driver replied, “No Sir, I don’t feel like having tea now.” I asked again. But, why? A cup of tea will do no harm.” Worrying, but still smiling, the driver replied, “Thank you sir, but I’m sorry.” My friend asked, “Are you against eating or drinking outside?” The driver said, “No!” I was really surprised at his behavior and asked my friend not to force him. In 15 minutes, we reached our house. We paid the fare and the driver thanked us. After thinking over and over again, I stopped him, as I really wanted to ask him why he refused to drink tea with us at the restaurant. He thought for a moment and replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We both were surprised and offered him more money for his son’s treatment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
