However, there’s still some confusion about what can and what can’t be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled. COFFEE PODS (咖啡荚) On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back programme and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores. LIGHT BULBS Rather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recycling stations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed. PIZZA BOXES Normally pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’re covered in grease (油脂) and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be taken to a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled. HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled. 1. Why does TerraCycle run the free post-back programme and drop-off points? A. To recycle coffee pods easily. B. To offer good coffee for free. C To exchange coffee machines. D. To warn people of the harm of coffee. 2. What do people need to do first to recycle pizza boxes? A. Wash them many times. B. Take them to the government. C. Clear the leftovers as much as possible. D. Return boxes to the pizza shop quickly. 3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Health. B. Environment. C. Entertainment. D. Culture. B I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years. As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me. When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no Internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story. 4. What made the author read plenty of books? A. His thirst for knowledge. B. His father’s suggestion. C. His intention to be a writer. D. His demand to become excellent. 5 Why did the author start writing? A. An editor advised him to do so. B. He wanted to express his own ideas. C. He decided to make money. D. He tried to be a celebrity. 6. How did the author share his own works according to the text? A. By printing them himself. B. By his friends’ recommendation. C. By advertising them just on the street. D. By publishing his works online, in local papers and in book form. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Writing improved the author a lot. B. The author encouraged others to write. C. Writing is as important as reading. D. It’s a good choice to write books. C For many students who desire to move around but not far freely, one of the most common vehicles is the bicycle. For such a seemingly simple invention, its story is not that simple. Most historians trace its origin back to 1817, when a German nobleman named Karl von Drais invented a wooden, two-wheeled machine that riders moved forward with their feet. His invention became popular in both England and France, where it eventually became known as the velocipede. Unfortunately, it was eventually banned as a danger to pedestrians and was rarely seen after the early 1820s. Things were quiet for several decades until the bicycle development took off in the 1860s. An important milestone happened in Paris in 1863 when pedals (踏板) were added to the front axle (轴) . This occurred in Pierre Michaux’s workshop but it’s unclear whether he or his employee, Pierre Lallement, should be given credit for the innovation. Lallement moved to the United States, where he obtained a patent for “improvements in velocipedes” in 1866. These new machines proved to be popular, and the name “bicycle” had come into use by 1869. However, many people referred to them as “bone shakers”, which described their clunky ride due to a heavy wooden frame and steel wheels. In the 1870s, “high wheelers” or “penny-farthings” became popular. However, with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel, they could be dangerous, if riders had to stop suddenly, as they would “take a header” when their momentum (动量) carried them over the front wheel onto their heads. Eventually, English inventor John Kemp Starley designed a “safety bicycle” with two same small wheels, a chain drive, and a set of gears. With tires added in and brake (刹车) systems bettered in the following decades, bicycle production had skyrocketed to over one million bicycles by 1899. Mass production of bicycles increased their popularity greatly, since they became affordable for the average person. Over the course of the 20th century, manufacturers continued to improve the features and design of bicycles as new technologies appeared. 8. Why did the early bicycle fail to be allowed after its invention? A. It was made of bad materials. B. It was pushed by riders’ feet. C. It was thought to be a threat to traffic safety. D. It had no patent from the official organization. 9. What change did the 1860s see in the bicycle? A. The update of its axle. B. The growth of employees in its factory. C. An advance in its production workshop. D. An improvement in its drive part. 10. What does the underlined word “clunky” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Easy and cheap. B. Practical and safe. C. Heavy and awkward. D. Convenient and simple. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bicycles’ Development Is Helpful to Environment B. Bicycles Have a Long and Rich History C. Bicycles Have Been Popular in the World D. The World Becomes Smaller Because of Bicycles D When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with coloured pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what colour his masked men turned out to be because he’s colour blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colours he’s using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague (模糊的) colours that one percent of the population with colour-blindness see into the “true” colours as everyone else sees them. In America, an estimated 32 million colour-blind Americans—95% are males—can soon have their life improved. “DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone’s camera and changes the colours slightly so they fall within the range that people who are colour-blind see,” developed Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a colour-blind friend. It was then that he got to know more about colourblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect (遗传缺陷), Blue-yellow colourblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB colour model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is clean up the colour space of the image or video signal so that colours can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is colour-blind sees things the same,” Says Kaminsky. Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the result: “It would be useful for dressing for a job interview,” he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application”. It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets (器械), which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display green. 12. What can we know about DanKam from the first two paragraphs? A. It is used in the movie Star Trek. B. It is a new phone helping us create products. C. it can turn all unclear colours into true ones. D. It is designed to assist people with colourblindness. 13. How does DanKam work? A. It puts lights on electronic gadgets. B. It examines people’s types of colourblindness. C. It adjusts the colours to make colour-blind people see them. D. It shows the same representations of points in the model. 14. What can be inferred about colourblindness from the text? A. It is not always an inborn disease. B. It cannot be treated for ever. C. It is more commonly seen in the female. D. It makes patients unable to tell any colours. 15. What s Sparkman’s attitude towards DanKam? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Favourable. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. ____16____ It takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter’s day. For this, we specially recommend a “painless early rise” guideline. ____17____ The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light. Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, agrees with it firstly. That’s because natural light holds back melatonin, a chemical that plays an important role in our bodies. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says. Ease in gradually. For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. ____18____ “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another halt an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says. Hold on — even on weekends. ____19____. Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. And stick to it without exception. Plan something to look forward to. To force you out of bed, ____20____. You’re not worrying if you think of that. “Now is the time to go to buy your favourite coffee or pick up some cakes to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m.,” she says. A. Adjust yourself to the schedule at night. B. Seek out as much natural light as possible. C. Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. D. But the reality is that getting up late is the norm for many of us. E. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. F. Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first. G. You should cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a terrible day.

Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang. The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor, they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself. As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner(横幅)hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted. Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets, including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom. Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things?” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained. Suddenly their neighbor Ms. Ruby and her daughter Penelope approached their blanket. 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。 Ms. Ruby, with her usual bright smile, greeted the Changs while Penelope examined the items displayed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I think it’s time for my palace to have a new owner,” Chloe whispered. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：选择性必修第三册Unit 1～Unit 3。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

It all started when I was just 18 years. As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me. When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no Internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story. 4. What made the author read plenty of books? A. His thirst for knowledge. B. His father’s suggestion. C. His intention to be a writer. D. His demand to become excellent. 5. Why did the author start writing? A. An editor advised him to do so. B. He wanted to express his own ideas. C. He decided to make money. D. He tried to be a celebrity. 6. How did the author share his own works according to the text? A. By printing them himself. B. By his friends’ recommendation. C. By advertising them just on the street. D. By publishing his works online, in local papers and in book form. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Writing improved the author a lot. B. The author encouraged others to write. C. Writing is as important as reading. D. It’s a good choice to write books. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从18岁开始写作的经历，以及他如何通过写作发现人性中的善良和光明，并认为每个人都在书写自己生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. (我对知识的渴望似乎永远也不会消失，不管我读了多少年的书。)”可知，作者之所以阅读了大量的书籍，是因为他有着强烈的求知欲。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness (突然之间，我发现我也有自己的想法，我想要写下来并分享出去。我想要分享那些充满善良、爱、快乐和幸福的事物。)”可知，作者开始写作是因为他想要表达自己的想法，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the Internet. Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. (自那以后，当然，没有什么能阻止我。我继续每周写新的文章，这些文章被发表在不同的当地报纸上，后来又在互联网上发表。多年后，我甚至自行出版了两本故事集。)”可知，作者通过在本地报纸上发表作品以及后来通过互联网和书籍形式自出版来分享他的作品。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. (通过我的写作，我慢慢地变成了一个更好的人。)”以及全文可知，写作让作者变得更好，故选A项。 C For many students who desire to move around but not far freely, one of the most common vehicles is the bicycle. For such a seemingly simple invention, its story is not that simple. Most historians trace its origin back to 1817, when a German nobleman named Karl von Drais invented a wooden, two-wheeled machine that riders moved forward with their feet. His invention became popular in both England and France, where it eventually became known as the velocipede. Unfortunately, it was eventually banned as a danger to pedestrians and was rarely seen after the early 1820s. Things were quiet for several decades until the bicycle development took off in the 1860s. An important milestone happened in Paris in 1863 when pedals (踏板) were added to the front axle (轴) . This occurred in Pierre Michaux’s workshop, but it’s unclear whether he or his employee, Pierre Lallement, should be given credit for the innovation. Lallement moved to the United States, where he obtained a patent for “improvements in velocipedes” in 1866. These new machines proved to be popular, and the name “bicycle” had come into use by 1869. However, many people referred to them as “bone shakers”, which described their clunky ride due to a heavy wooden frame and steel wheels. In the 1870s, “high wheelers” or “penny-farthings” became popular. However, with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel, they could be dangerous, if riders had to stop suddenly, as they would “take a header” when their momentum (动量) carried them over the front wheel onto their heads. Eventually, English inventor John Kemp Starley designed a “safety bicycle” with two same small wheels, a chain drive, and a set of gears. With tires added in and brake (刹车) systems bettered in the following decades, bicycle production had skyrocketed to over one million bicycles by 1899. Mass production of bicycles increased their popularity greatly, since they became affordable for the average person. Over the course of the 20th century, manufacturers continued to improve the features and design of bicycles as new technologies appeared. 8. Why did the early bicycle fail to be allowed after its invention? A. It was made of bad materials. B. It was pushed by riders’ feet. C. It was thought to be a threat to traffic safety. D. It had no patent from the official organization. 9. What change did the 1860s see in the bicycle? A. The update of its axle. B. The growth of employees in its factory. C. An advance in its production workshop. D. An improvement in its drive part. 10. What does the underlined word “clunky” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Easy and cheap. B. Practical and safe. C. Heavy and awkward. D. Convenient and simple. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bicycles’ Development Is Helpful to Environment B. Bicycles Have a Long and Rich History C. Bicycles Have Been Popular in the World D. The World Becomes Smaller Because of Bicycles 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了自行车从19世纪初的雏形到现代的演变历程，包括关键创新、设计改进及大众化过程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Unfortunately, it was eventually banned as a danger to pedestrians and was rarely seen after the early 1820s.(不幸的是，它最终被禁止，因为它对行人有危险，在19世纪20年代初之后就很少见到了。)”可知，早期的自行车在发明后没有被允许使用是因为它被认为对行人构成威胁，即对交通安全构成了危险。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“An important milestone happened in Paris in 1863 when pedals (踏板) were added to the front axle (轴).(1863年在巴黎，踏板被安装到前轴上，这是一个重要的里程碑。)”可知，19世纪60年代自行车的变化在于其驱动部分得到了改进，即在前轴上增加了踏板。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“These new machines proved to be popular, and the name “bicycle” had come into use by 1869. However, many people referred to them as “bone shakers”, which described their clunky ride due to a heavy wooden frame and steel wheels.(事实证明，这些新机器很受欢迎，到1869年，“自行车”这个名字就开始使用了。然而，许多人把它们称为“摇骨车”，形容它们clunky行驶，因为它们有沉重的木制框架和钢轮。)”可知，“clunky”描述的是由于沉重的木制框架和钢轮，骑行时的笨重和不灵活。C选项（又重又笨拙）符合题意。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“For such a seemingly simple invention, its story is not that simple.(对于这样一个看似简单的发明，它的故事却没有那么简单。)”结合整篇文章讲述了自行车从1817年发明至今的发展历程，包括它的起源、重要里程碑、设计改进以及普及情况，因此最佳标题应概括为：自行车有着悠久而丰富的历史。故选B。 D When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with coloured pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what colour his masked men turned out to be because he’s colour blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colours he’s using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague (模糊的) colours that one percent of the population with colour-blindness see into the “true” colours as everyone else sees them. In America, an estimated 32 million colour-blind Americans—95% are males—can soon have their life improved. “DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone’s camera and changes the colours slightly so they fall within the range that people who are colour-blind see,” developed Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a colour-blind friend. It was then that he got to know more about colourblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect (遗传缺陷), Blue-yellow colourblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB colour model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is clean up the colour space of the image or video signal so that colours can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is colour-blind sees things the same,” Says Kaminsky. Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the result: “It would be useful for dressing for a job interview,” he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application”. It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets (器械), which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display green. 12. What can we know about DanKam from the first two paragraphs? A. It is used in the movie Star Trek. B. It is a new phone helping us create products. C. it can turn all unclear colours into true ones. D. It is designed to assist people with colourblindness. 13. How does DanKam work? A. It puts lights on electronic gadgets. B. It examines people’s types of colourblindness. C. It adjusts the colours to make colour-blind people see them. D. It shows the same representations of points in the model. 14. What can be inferred about colourblindness from the text? A. It is not always an inborn disease. B. It cannot be treated for ever. C. It is more commonly seen in the female. D. It makes patients unable to tell any colours. 15. What s Sparkman’s attitude towards DanKam? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Favourable. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一种能够帮助色盲患者识别颜色的应用软件以及人们对于这种应用软件的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colours he’s using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. (现在，一款新的智能手机应用程序可以帮助他弄清楚自己用的是什么颜色，以及大多数人对这张照片的看法。)”和第二段中的“The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague (模糊的) colours that one percent of the population with colour-blindness see into the “true” colours as everyone else sees them. (这款名为DanKam的应用程序在iPhone和Android上都有，售价2.99美元，它可以把1%的色盲患者看到的模糊颜色变成其他人看到的“真实”颜色。)”可知，DanKam应用程序是为了帮助色盲人群设计的，它能将色盲人士所见的模糊颜色转换为大多数人所见的“真实”颜色。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中““DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone’s camera and changes the colours slightly so they fall within the range that people who are colour-blind see,” developed Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a colour-blind friend. (研发人员丹·卡明斯基在接受科技资讯网采访时表示：“DanKam通过手机摄像头接收数据流，然后稍微改变颜色，使其在色盲的人能看到的范围内。”)”可知，DanKam通过调整颜色使色盲人士能够看到它们。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。从文章第四段中“A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect (遗传缺陷), Blue-yellow colourblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. (例如，由于遗传缺陷，绝大多数人无法看到红色或绿色，然而，蓝黄色盲是罕见的，并且由于年龄，疾病或头部受伤等原因在生命后期发展。)”可知，色盲并不总是先天性的疾病，比如蓝黄色盲可能因衰老、疾病或头部受伤等因素在生命后期出现。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the result: “It would be useful for dressing for a job interview,” he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application”. It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets (器械), which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display green. (Sparkman是CNET的一名文字编辑，他试用了这款应用，并对结果感到满意：“它对求职面试的着装很有用，”他说。但在他的艺术中使用它是“最实际的应用”。它在LED灯和其他电子产品上运行良好)，这意味着斯帕克曼现在可以识别他的电脑上的电源指示灯显示为绿色。)”可知，他对DanKam持支持和满意的态度。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。 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. ____16____ It takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter’s day. For this, we specially recommend a “painless early rise” guideline. ____17____ The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light. Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, agrees with it firstly. That’s because natural light holds back melatonin, a chemical that plays an important role in our bodies. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says. Ease in gradually. For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. ____18____ “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another halt an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says. Hold on — even on weekends. ____19____. Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. And stick to it without exception. Plan something to look forward to. To force you out of bed, ____20____. You’re not worrying if you think of that. “Now is the time to go to buy your favourite coffee or pick up some cakes to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m.,” she says. A. Adjust yourself to the schedule at night. B. Seek out as much natural light as possible. C. Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. D. But the reality is that getting up late is the norm for many of us. E. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. F. Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first. G. You should cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. C 20.

Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang. The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself. As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner(横幅)hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted. Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets, including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom. Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things?” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained. Suddenly their neighbor Ms. Ruby and her daughter Penelope approached their blanket. 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。 Ms. Ruby, with her usual bright smile, greeted the Changs while Penelope examined the items displayed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I think it’s time for my palace to have a new owner,” Chloe whispered. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Ruby, with her usual bright smile, greeted the Changs while Penelope examined the items displayed. "This is so exciting! I love seeing all the wonderful things everyone brings," she exclaimed. Penelope's eyes sparkled as she picked up a storybook and flipped through its vibrant pages. "I can read this one to my younger cousin," she said joyfully. Ms. Ruby then turned to Chloe and Clark, praising their thoughtful contributions. "Your generosity will surely bring happiness to others," she added, making Chloe feel a mix of pride and sadness. “I think it’s time for my palace to have a new owner,” Chloe whispered. With a deep breath, she approached Penelope. "I noticed you don't have a palace yet. Would you like mine?" Penelope's face lit up with surprise and gratitude. “Really? It's so beautiful!” she gasped. As Chloe handed over her cherished mermaid palace, she felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her. She realized that sharing what she loved could bring immense joy to someone else. Mr. Chang gently patted Chloe's back, whispering words of praise for her kind gesture. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕着Chloe和Clark兄妹俩参与社区物品交换活动的故事展开，通过描写Chloe对心爱玩具的不舍以及最终决定分享给他人，体现了成长中的自我牺牲和慷慨精神。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ruby女士带着她惯常灿烂的笑容向Chang一家问好，而Penelope则仔细查看着展示的物品。”可知，第一段可描写Penelope挑选物品的场景，以及Ruby女士对Chloe和Clark的称赞，让Chloe感受到自豪与伤感的交织。 ②由第二段首句内容“我认为我的宫殿该有新的主人了。”Chloe低声说道。可知，第二段可描写Chloe主动向Penelope提出分享她的美人鱼宫殿的情景，以及这一举动带来的正面影响。 2.续写线索：物品交换——Penelope挑选物品——Ruby女士的赞扬——Chloe的决定——Penelope的惊喜与感激——Chloe的满足与领悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： 仔细查看：examine/inspect 翻阅：flip through/browse 分享：share/pass on 情绪类： 骄傲和悲伤的混合感：mix of pride and sadness/blend of pride and sorrow 感到满足：feel a wave of satisfaction/experience a sense of contentment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Ms. Ruby then turned to Chloe and Clark, praising their thoughtful contributions.(使用了现状分词praising作状语) [高分句型2] As Chloe handed over her cherished mermaid palace, she felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.
