Avebury, Wiltshire This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the power of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor (庄园) let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds. Skara Brae, Orkney Islands Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds. Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country. Maiden Castle, Dorset Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC-AD 43). 1. What may Avebury be built for? A. Comforting nature’s power. B. Providing shelter for the villagers. C Circling the largest stone in Europe. D. Showing the development of the Manor. 2. Which of the following should the visitors choose if they want to see round buildings? A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae. C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle. 3. What can we know about Maiden Castle? A. It still keeps some old iron tools. B. It was built near a national park. C. It’s the world’s largest Iron Age hill fort. D. It used to be hundreds of people’s home. B Ever since I graduated from high school, I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved (解脱的) to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate (高估) the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the factory, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other choices have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seem too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 4. What does the author think of his summer holiday? A. It was no holiday for him at all. B. It brought him complete confidence. C. It was a relief from his hard work at school. D. It offered him a chance to make more friends. 5. What can we infer about most college students from the text? A. They do better in the real world. B. They often regret their decisions. C. They think too highly of themselves. D. They are expert at operating machines. 6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers? A. A low income. B. Loss of work. C. Working conditions. D. Less breaks. 7. How did the working experiences change the author? A. He became responsible for his work. B. He learned to be more practical at work. C. He began to respect blue-collar workers. D. He came to appreciate his college education. C One recent study on the link between music and stress found that music can help calm pediatric emergency room (儿科急诊室) patients. In the trial with 42 children ages 3 to 11, University of Alberta researchers found that patients who listened to relaxing music while getting an IV injection (静脉注射) reported significantly less pain, and some showed significantly less distress, compared with patients who did not listen to music. In addition, in the music-listening group, more than two-thirds of the doctors reported that the IVs were very easy to administer—compared with 38 percent of doctors treating the group that did not listen to music. “There is growing scientific evidence showing that the brain responds to music in very different ways,” says Lisa Hartling, PhD, professor of pediatrics at the University of Alberta and lead author of the study. “Playing music for kids during painful medical procedures is a simple means that can make a big difference.” Music can help adult patients, too. Researchers at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore found that patients in palliative care (保守治疗) who took part in live music therapy (治疗) sessions reported relief from continuous pain. Music therapists worked closely with the patients to individually design the means, and patients took part in singing, instrument playing, lyric discussion and even song writing as they worked toward accepting an illness or the end-of-life issues. “Active music engagement allowed the patients to reconnect with the healthy parts of themselves, even in the most weakest condition or disease-related suffering,” says music therapist Melanie Kwan, co-author of the study and president of the Association for Music Therapy, Singapore. “When their serious pain symptoms were relieved, patients were finally able to rest.” 8. What is the purpose of the experiment? A. To test the effect music has on child patients. B. To prove child patients prefer listening to music. C. To reduce the doctors’ stress during the treating. D. To show most doctors apply music to the treatment. 9. Which of the following is the music therapist’s job? A. Playing light music. B. Regulating patients’ workouts. C. Designing suitable treatment. D. Helping patients accept reality. 10. What can be inferred from Kwan’s words? A. Music can help patients reduce the pain. B. Adult patients take an active part in music. C. Patient brains respond to music in different ways. D. Music therapists can point out the symptoms of patients. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. How music therapists design music B. Music therapy can improve health C. Why music is associated with relaxation D. Live music excites and activates the body D Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found. A person or animal using this skill is being what’s called “vocally plastic”, or adjusting their vocal (声音的) signals in response to environmental changes that overlap or cover up their voices, according to the study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society. The researchers had a number of reasons for wanting to test the vocal changes of baby harbor seals. The rare ability to copy new sounds — vocal learning — had been seen previously among adult harbor seals and a few other mammal species (哺乳动物), according to the authors. And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication. “By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani. As the seals heard a speaker play a 45-minute recording consisting of high noise, low noise or no playback over several days, they naturally called out. When the baby seals heard louder sea noises, they lowered their vocal pitch. During more intense noise levels, the pups used a steadier pitch — and one seal raised its voice. This behavior, called the Lombard Effect, is typical for human speech when people talk louder to be more understandable, the authors said. “The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.” 12. What does paragraph 1 tell us about baby seals? A. They are cute but rare. B. They can change vocal pitch. C. They can understand human words. D. They can be harmed by environmental changes. 13. What is the researchers’ main reason for studying baby seals? A. To better understand adult harbor seals. B. To show their rare ability of vocal learning. C. To know more about human communication. D. To find out how to protect them from extinction. 14. What does Ravignani intend to express in the last paragraph? A. Baby seals can control their vocalisations when born. B. Baby seals’ vocal ability is out of scientists’ expectation. C. Scientists have long understood the vocal ability of baby seals. D. Many other baby mammals are better at vocalisations than baby seals. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A surprising fact about baby seals B. Baby seals are cuter than assumed C. Harbor seals are in danger of extinction D. The amazing survival ability of baby seals 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。 Some people want to live a successful life.There are many things for you to do in order to achieve this.___16___ Here are some suggestions on how to successfully reach your goals， both large and small. ___17___ No matter what stage of life you are in， you should know what you want for your life.Ask yourself questions such as：Do I want to work in this career for the rest of my life？ Do I need more education？ Do I want to buy a house？ How can I have a successful marriage？ How can I be a better parent to my kids？ Write down your plan. ___18___ You can write down all that you want for your life.But unless you know how to achieve those goals， it will just be a dream.Decide what steps you need to take in order to develop your plans.

He had been to the camping site across the river many times with his friends. But this time, it was different. Now he was with family: his wife and his 13-year-old son. And as they approached the river late in the afternoon, he found that the usually quiet river had turned wild due to a heavy rain two days before. It was impossible for them to cross the river to reach the camping site or return because it was too late. “We cannot camp in the wildness and I have to send out a message for rescue,” Whitson thought. He looked around and found a stick. He pulled out his pocketknife and carved “Help” in it. Then he tied a red rope to catch people's attention. He threw it into the river, but it did not float far and got stuck. “Why not try our luck with our green Nalgene water bottle and put a note in it?” suggested his wife, Whitson did as he was told and carved the word “help” on it before he threw the bottle into the river. This time, it worked perfectly. “All right, we have tried our best to get help,” Whitson said, “But we should not just wait in this dangerous wildness in case…” They walked up and down along the river bank for about 30 minutes and found a flat place to set up their tents. They collected enough dead branches and wood to keep a campfire going on all night. As the darkness closed in, they placed on the top of the camp a headlamp with its flashing light on. They waited until 10: 30 pm. But nothing happened. So they went to bed. Before turning in, Whitson added more wood to the fire to keep the dangerous animals away. 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。 Shortly after midnight, they heard a helicopter circling above their tents. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the officers dropped them back at the rescue center, the family learned more about the whole story. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 BCBCA 6~10 BCCBC 11~15 BCBBC 16~20 AACBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024年度高一年级下学期期末考试模拟卷 英语试题 （120分钟 150分） 注意事项 ①请将选择题答案填入选择题后的答题表中。 ②必须使用黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 ③答题前，考生务必将弥封线内的项目填写清楚。 考试范围：必修第一至第三册；选择性必修第一册Unit 1 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国四个著名的历史古迹。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Avebury, Wiltshire部分的“Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the power of nature.(它建于新石器时代（约公元前3000年），考古学家认为它是用来安慰大自然的力量的)”可知，考古学家认为建Avebury是被用来安慰大自然的力量。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Skara Brae, Orkney Islands部分的“The Neolithic village is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. (新石器时代的村庄由八座圆形房屋组成，由一系列小通道连接)”可知，Skara Brae是由八个圆形的房子组成的。所以 如果我们想看到圆形的建筑，我们应该选择Skara Brae。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Maiden Castle部分的“It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC-AD 43).(它的面积约为45万平方米，在铁器时代（公元前800年至公元43年）曾有数百人居住)”可知，该遗址在铁器时代是数百人的家园。故选D。 B Ever since I graduated from high school, I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.

In the trial with 42 children ages 3 to 11, University of Alberta researchers found that patients who listened to relaxing music while getting an IV injection (静脉注射) reported significantly less pain, and some showed significantly less distress, compared with patients who did not listen to music. In addition, in the music-listening group, more than two-thirds of the doctors reported that the IVs were very easy to administer—compared with 38 percent of doctors treating the group that did not listen to music. “There is growing scientific evidence showing that the brain responds to music in very different ways,” says Lisa Hartling, PhD, professor of pediatrics at the University of Alberta and lead author of the study. “Playing music for kids during painful medical procedures is a simple means that can make a big difference.” Music can help adult patients, too. Researchers at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore found that patients in palliative care (保守治疗) who took part in live music therapy (治疗) sessions reported relief from continuous pain. Music therapists worked closely with the patients to individually design the means, and patients took part in singing, instrument playing, lyric discussion and even song writing as they worked toward accepting an illness or the end-of-life issues. “Active music engagement allowed the patients to reconnect with the healthy parts of themselves, even in the most weakest condition or disease-related suffering,” says music therapist Melanie Kwan, co-author of the study and president of the Association for Music Therapy, Singapore. “When their serious pain symptoms were relieved, patients were finally able to rest.” 8. What is the purpose of the experiment? A. To test the effect music has on child patients. B. To prove child patients prefer listening to music. C. To reduce the doctors’ stress during the treating. D. To show most doctors apply music to the treatment. 9. Which of the following is the music therapist’s job? A. Playing light music. B. Regulating patients’ workouts. C. Designing suitable treatment. D. Helping patients accept reality. 10. What can be inferred from Kwan’s words? A. Music can help patients reduce the pain. B. Adult patients take an active part in music. C. Patient brains respond to music in different ways. D. Music therapists can point out the symptoms of patients. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. How music therapists design music B. Music therapy can improve health C. Why music is associated with relaxation D. Live music excites and activates the body 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了音乐在缓解儿童和成人患者疼痛及压力方面的作用。研究显示，音乐能够帮助儿科急诊室的孩子们在打针时减轻痛苦和焦虑，同时也对接受保守治疗的成人患者有积极影响，能有效缓解他们的持续性疼痛。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“In the trial with 42 children ages 3 to 11, University of Alberta researchers found that patients who listened to relaxing music while getting an IV injection (静脉注射) reported significantly less pain, and some showed significantly less distress, compared with patients who did not listen to music. (在这项涉及42名年龄在3到11岁之间的儿童的试验中，阿尔伯塔大学的研究人员发现，与没有听音乐的患者相比，那些在输液时听轻松音乐的患者报告的疼痛明显减少，一些患者表现出明显的焦虑减少。) ”可知，实验的目的是测试音乐对儿童患者的影响。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Music therapists worked closely with the patients to individually design the means, and patients took part in singing, instrument playing, lyric discussion and even song writing as they worked toward accepting an illness or the end-of-life issues. (音乐治疗师与患者密切合作，为他们单独设计治疗方法，患者参与唱歌、演奏乐器、歌词讨论甚至歌曲创作，以帮助他们接受疾病或生命终结的问题。) ”可知，音乐治疗师的工作之一是设计适合患者的治疗方案。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When their serious pain symptoms were relieved, patients were finally able to rest.

They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found. A person or animal using this skill is being what’s called “vocally plastic”, or adjusting their vocal (声音的) signals in response to environmental changes that overlap or cover up their voices, according to the study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society. The researchers had a number of reasons for wanting to test the vocal changes of baby harbor seals. The rare ability to copy new sounds — vocal learning — had been seen previously among adult harbor seals and a few other mammal species (哺乳动物), according to the authors. And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication. “By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani. As the seals heard a speaker play a 45-minute recording consisting of high noise, low noise or no playback over several days, they naturally called out. When the baby seals heard louder sea noises, they lowered their vocal pitch. During more intense noise levels, the pups used a steadier pitch — and one seal raised its voice. This behavior, called the Lombard Effect, is typical for human speech when people talk louder to be more understandable, the authors said. “The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.” 12. What does paragraph 1 tell us about baby seals? A. They are cute but rare. B. They can change vocal pitch. C. They can understand human words. D. They can be harmed by environmental changes. 13. What is the researchers’ main reason for studying baby seals? A. To better understand adult harbor seals. B. To show their rare ability of vocal learning. C. To know more about human communication. D. To find out how to protect them from extinction. 14. What does Ravignani intend to express in the last paragraph? A. Baby seals can control their vocalisations when born. B. Baby seals’ vocal ability is out of scientists’ expectation. C. Scientists have long understood the vocal ability of baby seals. D. Many other baby mammals are better at vocalisations than baby seals. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A surprising fact about baby seals B. Baby seals are cuter than assumed C. Harbor seals are in danger of extinction D. The amazing survival ability of baby seals 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了小海豹拥有调整声音音高的能力，这一发现对于理解人类语言习得有重要启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found.(除了是海洋生态系统中可爱而重要的一部分外，海豹宝宝可能还有一种不同寻常的能力。一项新的研究发现，它们可以像人类一样改变声音的音高，以更好地被理解)”可知，第一段主要告诉我们小海豹能够调整它们的声音音高以更好地被理解。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication.“By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals,” said Andrea Ravignani.(很少有哺乳动物能够改变音高，使其听起来更高或更低，这对人类交流很重要。Andrea Ravignani说：“通过观察其他少数能够学习声音的哺乳动物之一，我们可以更好地了解我们人类是如何获得语言的，以及为什么我们是如此健谈的动物。”)”可知，研究人员研究小海豹的主要原因是想通过了解这种可能同样具备声音学习能力的哺乳动物，从而更好地理解人类如何习得语言，以及为何人类如此善于交流。故选C。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的““The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now,” Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.”(Ravignani在一份声明中说：“研究结果表明，海豹幼崽对发声的控制比迄今为止想象的要先进。”。“这种控制似乎在几周大的时候就已经存在了。这令人惊讶，因为似乎很少有其他哺乳动物能够做到这一点。”)”可知，最后一段中Ravignani表示，小海豹对它们的声音有着比之前假设更为高级的控制能力，这令人惊讶，因为很少有其他哺乳动物能够做到这一点。所以，Ravignani想要表达的是海豹宝宝的发声能力出乎科学家们的意料。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found.(除了是海洋生态系统中可爱而重要的一部分外，海豹宝宝可能还有一种不同寻常的能力。一项新的研究发现，它们可以像人类一样改变声音的音高，以更好地被理解)”以及全文可知，文章主要揭示了一个关于小海豹的令人惊讶的事实——它们能够改变声音的音高来适应环境，这在哺乳动物中是罕见的能力。所以“关于海豹宝宝的一个令人惊讶的事实”适合作本文的标题。故选A。 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。 Some people want to live a successful life.There are many things for you to do in order to achieve this.___16___ Here are some suggestions on how to successfully reach your goals， both large and small. ___17___ No matter what stage of life you are in， you should know what you want for your life.Ask yourself questions such as：Do I want to work in this career for the rest of my life？ Do I need more education？ Do I want to buy a house？ How can I have a successful marriage？ How can I be a better parent to my kids？ Write down your plan. ___18___ You can write down all that you want for your life.But unless you know how to achieve those goals， it will just be a dream.Decide what steps you need to take in order to develop your plans.

The family’s home is now surrounded by a ___45___ (beauty) vegetable garden, proving that land can in fact be transformed from the desert. 【答案】36. becoming 37. a 38. worse 39. were blown 40. known 41. which 42. problems 43. to quit 44. to 45. beautiful 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述甘肃本地人王天昌及家人为防治荒漠化作出的努力，成为中国防治荒漠化运动的象征。 【36题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：从那时起，他们就一直在与沙漠作斗争，成为中国防治荒漠化运动的象征。空前没有连词，所以空处作状语，是非谓语动词，动词become的逻辑主语是前面整句内容，两者之间为主谓关系，应用现在分词作结果状语。故填becoming。 【37题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：王天昌，甘肃本地人，从小在戈壁沙漠长大。native本地人，是可数名词，此处指“王天昌是一个甘肃本地人”，泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，又因native音标以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a修饰。故填 a。 【38题详解】 考查固定短语和比较级。句意：更糟糕的是，因为他们不熟悉环境，他们在头两年种的树被强风吹走了。根据上一句“To fund their efforts, they sold most of their farm animals and were left with only 6 sheep to support themselves.(为了给他们的工作提供资金，他们卖掉了大部分农场动物，只剩下6只羊来养活自己。)”可知，他们卖掉了大部分家畜，只剩下 6 只羊来养活自己，此处承接上文，表示递进关系，表示更糟糕的是，由于不熟悉环境，他们的工作开始并不成功，所以空处应用比较级，且to make matters worse为固定短语，意为“更糟糕的是”。故填worse。 【39题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：更糟糕的是，因为他们不熟悉环境，他们在头两年种的树被强风吹走了。本句主语是the trees，与谓语动词blow之间是被动关系，且本句动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是可数名词复数形式。故填 were blown。 【40题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：一种被称为甜野豌豆的灌木，即使在恶劣的沙漠条件下也有80%的存活率，这已经成为王努力的关键部分。动词know与bush之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一种被称为甜野豌豆的灌木，即使在恶劣的沙漠条件下也有80%的存活率，这已经成为王努力的关键部分。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词A bush，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：现在，尽管有严重的健康问题，而且已经快70岁了，王没有放弃他的使命的计划。problem是可数名词，此处表示尽管他有严重的健康问题，应用名词复数形式表示泛指。故填problems。 【43题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：现在，尽管有严重的健康问题，而且已经快70岁了，王没有放弃他的使命的计划。表示“没有计划去做某事”，应用不定式作定语，构成固定用法 have no plans to do。故填 to quit。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：他的努力并没有被忽视，并因其对当地绿化的贡献而赢得了多项荣誉。 contribution to表“对……的贡献”，为固定的搭配。故填to。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这个家庭的房子被美丽的菜园包围着，这证明土地实际上可以从沙漠改造过来。空处作定语修饰名词garden，应用形容词，beautiful表“美丽的”。故填beautiful。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 最近你班同学就“人类是否应该进行宇宙探索”这个问题进行了激烈的讨论。有人认为，探索宇宙不仅让人类更好地了解宇宙的发展，还可以用来指导农业生产，以及把一些探索太空的高新技术用于现实生活；也有一些人认为探索太空花掉了大量的人力物力；影响了人们的生活水平。请你根据以上情况写一篇报告并发表自己的观点。 注意：1.写作内容应包括以上全部要点，可适当发挥，使上下文连贯； 2．词数80左右。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文一 Recently we have held a heated discussion about the problem whether mankind should explore space or not.Different people about it has different opinions. Some people hold the view that space exploration will not only enable us to understand how the universe develop but also help farming to grow more food and apply the new technology to our life. While other people argue that we should stop exploring space because it costs too much time and money. From my point of view，it is very necessary for human to explore space.Because it not only can provide the world with many different benefits，but also can solve people's shortterm and longterm problems. 范文二 Space Exploration Is a Waste of Time and Money Everyone gets excited by the news of the most recent space flights, and I too share in people’s sense of awe and wonder at the photos from space that we see. Having said that, it is hard to believe that the high cost of space flight is justified. We should be spending our money more wisely, on what people need. I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food. Around the world, millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation. On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a dollar a day, a child in Africa can be saved. Considering the billions spent on space travel, it just seems a better investment to feed the hungry. Besides, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries on the earth. So why are we going into space to explore? There are still many things to discover in the ocean depths and the Antarctic. But we do not even have to go that far. Science has yet to unlock all the mysteries of the atom, and there are many realms of technology that we are just beginning to understand and explore. Finally, it just doesn’t seem a very wise investment to go to space. We have too many needs here on the earth to be wasting our effort on space exploration. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于议论文，主要围绕“人类是否应该进行宇宙探索”进行讨论。 【详解】第一步：审题 体裁：议论文 时态：根据提示，时态应为一般现在时和一般将来时。 结构：总分法    总分法指把主题句作为总说，把支持句作为分说，并以这种方式安排所写内容。 要求：1.要点全面； 2.逻辑清晰，语义连贯。 第二步:列提纲 （重点词组、句式） heated discussion；whether…or not；hold the view that…，apply…to；argue that…； stop doing； from one’s point of view；it is necessary for sb to do；shortterm and longterm problems. 第三步：连词成句 1.

He had been to the camping site across the river many times with his friends. But this time, it was different. Now he was with family: his wife and his 13-year-old son. And as they approached the river late in the afternoon, he found that the usually quiet river had turned wild due to a heavy rain two days before. It was impossible for them to cross the river to reach the camping site or return because it was too late. “We cannot camp in the wildness and I have to send out a message for rescue,” Whitson thought. He looked around and found a stick. He pulled out his pocketknife and carved “Help” in it. Then he tied a red rope to catch people's attention. He threw it into the river, but it did not float far and got stuck. “Why not try our luck with our green Nalgene water bottle and put a note in it?” suggested his wife, Whitson did as he was told and carved the word “help” on it before he threw the bottle into the river. This time, it worked perfectly. “All right, we have tried our best to get help,” Whitson said, “But we should not just wait in this dangerous wildness in case…” They walked up and down along the river bank for about 30 minutes and found a flat place to set up their tents. They collected enough dead branches and wood to keep a campfire going on all night. As the darkness closed in, they placed on the top of the camp a headlamp with its flashing light on. They waited until 10: 30 pm. But nothing happened. So they went to bed. Before turning in, Whitson added more wood to the fire to keep the dangerous animals away. 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。 Shortly after midnight, they heard a helicopter circling above their tents. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the officers dropped them back at the rescue center, the family learned more about the whole story. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Shortly after midnight, they heard a helicopter circling above their tents. Whitson jumped out of his sleeping bag excitedly and ran out to get the headlamp. While flashing the light at the helicopter, they kept waving theirs and shouting until they heard the magic words, “This is Search and Rescue. You have been found. We are looking for a good place to land. Please stay where you are. When the officers dropped them back at the rescue center, the family learned more about the whole story. It turned out that a man living downstream saw the water bottle when he was fishing in the river. It was trapped in his fishing net. He picked it up and saw the word “Help!” on it. Immediately, he sent it to the rescuers, who found the note inside the water bottle. On hearing the story, Whitson's wife jumped up and hugged his husband and son, whispering to them, “What a romantic adventure!” 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Curtis Whitson和家人要去河边露营，但发现河水猛烈上涨，既无法到达露营地，也不可能回去，危险重重，在妻子的建议下他在一个漂流瓶上写上求救信息，把瓶子扔向水中，他们找到一个平坦的地方搭帐篷，做好准备，以期得救。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“午夜过后不久，他们听到一架直升机在帐篷上空盘旋。”可知，第一段可描写Whitson发现直升机来营救他们了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当警察把他们送回救援中心时，他们一家对整个事件有了更多的了解。”可知，第二段可描写Whitson了解到，是因为有人捡到了漂流瓶并把纸条寄给了救援人员，他们才得救的，他们觉得这是一次浪漫的冒险。 2.续写线索：直升机来了——Whitson一家被找到——了解缘由——捡到瓶子——发现信息——救援成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲出去：run out to / dash out to ②寻找：look for / search for ③被困住：be trapped / be ensnared 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly / with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1].
