It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure. Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez. Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As the word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him many more books to grow his library. Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading. Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us? 4. What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books? A. The abandoned Anna Karenina. B. Leo Tolstoy’s life. C. Children’s living conditions. D. A community library. 5. Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”? A. To create a harmonious neighborhood. B. To give his mother sufficient books. C. To promote children’s reading. D. To improve the community life. 6. What can best describe Gutiérrez? A. Devoted and talented. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Passionate and well-educated. D. Creative and caring. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Desire for Reading B. From Garbage to Treasure C. Gutiérrez’s Life D. An Amazing Model of Education 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述Gutiérrez通过从垃圾堆中收集废书的方式为农村和贫困社区的孩子们建立了一个社区图书馆从而帮助他们开始阅读的故事，引发了读者关于如何改善身边人的生活的思考。 故选 B。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Gutiérrez life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.”可知，Gutiérrez在垃圾堆里发现了被丢弃的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，这使他有了从垃圾堆里捡书的想法。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.(最终，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆，供低收入家庭的孩子们使用)”以及第四段中的“Today，his make shift community library, called ‘The Strength of Words’, occupies most of his home in southern Bogota , and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!(如今，他的临时社区图书馆’文字的力量’占据了他位于波哥大南部的家的大部分空间，从地板到天花板都堆满了小说和非小说类的书籍。从学校课本到故事书，所有的东西都可以在他收藏的20000多本书中找到!)”可知，Gutiérrez的 The Strength of Words旨在促进孩子们阅读。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述Gutiérrez通过从垃圾堆中收集废书的方式为农村和贫困社区的孩子们建立了一个社区图书馆从而帮助他们开始阅读的故事。再根据文章第一段“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. (最终，他将自己的藏书变成了一个面向低收入家庭儿童的社区图书馆)”可推知，他既有创意又有爱心。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述Gutiérrez通过从垃圾堆中收集废书的方式为农村和贫困社区的孩子们建立了一个社区图书馆从而帮助他们开始阅读的故事。B项“From Garbage to Treasure(变废为宝)”最能概括本文主旨。故选B。 C I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it. To my friend A, All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going. We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother — and giving birth — has enhanced my feelings of unity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard. A note about sleep: you will be OK — you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to. 8. Who might be the intended audience for this article? A. Self-centered parents. B. Those fearing to have a baby. C. Broken-hearted friends. D. Those avoiding marriage. 9. How does the author mainly make her arguments convincing? A. By explaining ideas. B. By quoting sayings. C. By comparing facts. D. By concluding opinions. 10. Why does the author give examples of her writing in the last paragraph? A. To show how successful she was as a writer. B. To note that where there is a will there is a way. C. To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake. D. To persuade her friend not to worry about her career. 11. Which column may the article be chosen from? A. Opinion. B. Headline. C. Health. D. Culture. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者向朋友阐述拥有孩子带来的积极影响，旨在鼓励处于是否成为父母十字路口的朋友。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.(我想要给自己设定一个写作挑战，那就是列举出拥有一个宝宝所带来的许多积极方面。这封信虽然是写给一个人的，但我希望那些发现自己处于相似人生十字路口的人们，也能从中得到帮助)”可知，作者想写一些关于生孩子的积极的事情，这篇文章的目标读者是那些对生孩子有恐惧或担忧的人。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容及第三段中“All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going.(你所听到的关于为人父母的一切似乎都是负面的。我没有这种感觉。你在那个孩子身上创造了新的生活，有了那个孩子，你也获得了新的生活。当我成为一名母亲时，我母亲和父亲的拥抱，更不用说我的大家庭了，让我一直坚持下去)”和第四段“I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine.(我一直相信，生活从根本上讲是关于人际关系的，生孩子增强了我的人际关系)”可知，作者主要通过解释自己对为人父母的看法和积极体验来说服读者，比如提到母子关系、与其他女性的团结感增强、重新体验童年等，都是在阐述观点以使论证具有说服力。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to.(关于你的职业生涯，感到担忧是很正常的。我仅从个人经历出发，希望自己当初没有花那么多时间去提前担心写作的问题。现在我的时间少了很多，但我仍在坚持写作。哪怕每天只写一段，终究也能累积成一部小说。那里有太多尚未被发掘的快乐与爱等着你，我希望我已经让你对此有了些许了解，让你有所期待并紧握不放)”可知，作者在最后一段中举例说明她的写作，是为了说服她的朋友，孩子不会影响她的事业，不必担心。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容及第一段“I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.(我想要给自己设定一个写作挑战，那就是列举出拥有一个宝宝所带来的许多积极方面。这封信虽然是写给一个人的，但我希望那些发现自己处于相似人生十字路口的人们，也能从中得到帮助)”可知，这篇文章以个人经历和观点为主，旨在分享成为母亲的积极面，鼓励对生育有顾虑的朋友，因此最可能出现在“Opinion(观点)”栏目。故选A。 D For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 12. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 13. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 14. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 15. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一些研究人员发现大脑并不是身体中保护最严密的部分，它和身体的其它部分产生的疾病是有联系的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. (然后，大约20年前，一些研究人员开始怀疑：大脑真的与身体如此分离吗？根据越来越多的证据，答案是否定的。)”可知，研究人员主要研究大脑与身体的联系。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. (与身体其他部位变化相关的大脑状况清单很长，而且还在不断增加。消化系统中微生物组成的变化与帕金森病等疾病有关。还有一种理论认为，怀孕期间的感染可能会导致婴儿脑部疾病。)”可知，这一段作者主要通过消化系统和怀孕期间的感染2个例子来论证自己的观点，说明大脑并不是身体中保护最严密的部分。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. (通过消化系统、心脏或其他器官进行的治疗比必须穿过血脑屏障的治疗更容易，风险更小。)”可知，不通过血脑屏障的治疗风险更小。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. (研究表明，在大脑中涉及积极情绪和动机的区域受到刺激后，小鼠的心脏更健康。大脑奖赏中心——被称为腹侧被盖区（VTA）——的激活似乎会导致免疫变化。弄清楚这种情况是如何发生的，可以帮助摧毁癌症，增强对疫苗的反应，甚至重新评估几个世纪以来一直不被认为是心理驱动的物理疾病。)”可知，大脑可能是治疗身体疾病的关键。故选D。 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many websites, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, or just crazy. ____16____ With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites. Look for established institutions (确立的机构). ____17____ However, what you want are sites associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organizations or universities. Consult sites with expertise (专门知识). You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point. ____18____ For example, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Avoid commercial (商业的) sites. Sites run by companies and businesses—their websites usually end with “.com”—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) in favor of their product. ____19____ But be cautious (谨慎). ____20____ Respected websites often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good sign. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry too much. A. Check the links. B. Enter the following text into the search field. C. Look for websites that specialize in what you’re seeking. D. If a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it. E. The Internet is full of websites that were started five minutes ago. F. That’s not to say commercial sites should be screened (屏蔽) entirely. G. For inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range of problems. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提到了当前很多网站上都含有不准确甚至使让人抓狂的信息，因此文章介绍了四种可以让新手研究者找到可信赖的网站的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For many websites, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, or just crazy.(对于许多网站来说，有大量的信息是不准确的，或者只是疯狂的)”可知，文章先提出了当前网站乱象，紧接着讲到了这些乱象会给新手研究者造成很多问题。而根据下文“With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites.(考虑到这一点，这里有四种方法可以找到可靠的网站)”可知，文章针对上句情况介绍了找到可信赖的网站的四个方法。故G选项“对于没有经验的研究人员来说，这些地点可能会引起广泛的问题”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据该段的主题句“Look for established institutions(确立的机构).(寻找确立的机构)”可知，该方法是找那些确立的机构所设的网站。此外根据下文“However, what you want are site s associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability.(然而，您需要的是与可信机构相关的站点，这些机构已经存在了一段时间，并且具有可靠的跟踪记录)”可知，设空处应是与下文相悖的事实。故E选项“互联网上到处都是五分钟前才启动的网站”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据主题句“Consult sites with expertise(专门知识).(咨询专业网站)”以及下文的例子“For example, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.(例如，如果你正在写一篇关于流感爆发的报道，请查看疾病控制和预防中心等医疗网站)”可知，后文的例子表明要针对寻找的内容去寻找网站。故C选项“寻找专门针对你所寻找内容的网站”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据主题句“Avoid commercial (商业的) sites.(避免商业网站)”可知，本段建议研究者们避开一些商业性的网站。此外根据下文“But be cautious.(但是要谨慎)”可知，设空处应该与该句意思相悖。故F选项“这并不是说商业网站应该被完全屏蔽”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Respected websites often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good sign. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry too much.(受人尊敬的网站经常相互链接。你可以通过进行链接特定的谷歌搜索，找出其他网站链接到你正在研究的网站。如果有很多网站链接到你的网站，而且这些网站看起来很可靠，这是一个好迹象。看来你不用太担心了)”可知，设空处考查主题句。根据全段内容可知，最后一个方法为检查网站的相关链接。如果链接指向的其他网站较多且可信度高，那么该网站很大概率也是可靠的。故A选项“检查链接”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Anna was a 9-year-old girl from a small village.

Comfort food is an important tool in helping us ________ tension and feel good about ourselves.

Their efforts to conduct research in both fields may finally ____________.（根据句意填空） 【答案】pay off 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语和情态动词用法。句意：他们在这两个领域开展研究的努力可能最终会得到回报。根据“Their efforts”和finally可知，此处是指他们的努力最终会得到回报，所以应用动词短语pay off表示“获得回报”。在情态动词may后应用动词原形。故填pay off。 49. Sometimes the smell alone can ________ ; not to mention the lovely creamy flavor which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood. (根据句意填空) 【答案】do the trick 【解析】 【详解】考查固定词组。句意：有时单靠气味就能达到目的；更不用说可爱的奶油味了，它就像一台时光机，立刻把我带回了阳光明媚的童年。do the trick为固定短语，意为“奏效，起作用，达到目的”，填入空格处符合句意，由情态动词can可知，动词do应用原形。故填do the trick。 50. The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special, and ________.(根据句意填空) 【答案】they broke into enthusiastic cheers at the end of the symphony 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构、时态等。句意：观众们立刻意识到他们在听一些真正特别的东西，在交响乐结束时，他们爆发出热烈的欢呼声。根据前文句意和连词and可知，此处表示“在交响乐结束时，他们爆发出热烈的欢呼声”，用简单句表达，和前文并列。根据前文recognized可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。表示“他们爆发出热烈的欢呼声”为they broke into enthusiastic cheers，break into“突然开始做”是固定搭配；表示“在交响乐结束时”为at the end of the symphony，at the end of“在……的结尾”是固定搭配。故填they broke into enthusiastic cheers at the end of the symphony。 第四部分，写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 51. 假定你是李华，5月14日你校举办了“Food Festival”活动。请给英国好友Chris写一封邮件分享你的经历，内容包括： 1.介绍活动内容； 2.你的感受。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, I am more than delighted to write to share with you the Food Festival we celebrated in the campus on May 14th. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I am more than delighted to write to share with you the Food Festival we celebrated in the campus on May 14th.

Nowhere was that more true than at a recent 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana. There were two players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, who hadn’t known each other before. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-old student from Western Boone High School, has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years. Axel Aleman, who is from Sheridan High School, is a friendly and generous person and he is always more concerned about others than himself. Axel once said to his classmates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. As a teen athlete, the choice is extremely clear.” The game went very well at first. However, with less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange slipped, twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt something was wrong with my ankle.” Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him. Generally, winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman, But at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Axel. “I was able to see he was in a lot of pain,” Axel recalled. “As I got closer to him, he narrowly fell down. I asked if he was all right. He said he felt like something broken in his leg.” Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmen, Axel refused to leave Levi behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right thing to do. That mattered more than the race. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. I wanted to help him finish the match.” 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。 Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Axel gained a lot from the incident. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi. Axel picked Levi up and encouraged him to hold on to the end. Placing an encouraging hand at his competitor’s back, Axel remained with Levi for the remainder of the race. They advanced side by side, with eyes looking at the finish line. They even sang a song to cheer each other up. Eventually, the two crossed the finish line within seconds of one another. Axel even made sure Levi went first. To their surprise, the event organizer announced that they were both winners together. Axel gained a lot from the incident. In the following days, Axel received lots of positive comments now and then. While he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness, for him, the best harvest was the friendship with Levi. We might not always recognize when life hands us an opportunity to help others, but when it really does, we should take action. Axel said, “I would just really hope people do the right thing.” Yes, we should do that, not for others, but for ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了两个互不相识的运动员一起参加一场5千米田径邀请赛，就在快到终点时，Levi不小心扭伤了脚踝，无法继续比赛；而Axel并没有越过他直接跑向终点，而是停下来扶着他一起先后越过终点线，并意外地得到了并列第一的荣誉。通过这次比赛，Axel不仅得到了好的成绩和人们的赞扬，更重要的是收获了与Levi的友谊。正如他自己认为的：做正确的事情比比赛本身更加重要。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后，Axel向Levi走得更近了些。”可知，第一段可描写Axel没有越过Levi继续跑，而是停下来帮助他，与他一起跑向终点经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Axel从这次事情中收获了很多。”可知，第二段可描写Axel不仅取得了好成绩，还收获了人们的赞扬和Levi的友谊。 2.续写线索：走近--帮助--一起走向终点--并列第一--得到称赞--收获友谊--点明主题 3.词汇激活 ① 鼓励、激励：encourage→inspire ② 前进：advance→move forward ③ 比赛：match→game→race ④ 最终、终于：eventually→finally ⑤ 偶尔、不时：now and then→from time to time/sometimes 【点睛】[高分句型1] Placing an encouraging hand at his competitor’s back, Axel remained with Levi for the remainder of the race. （运用了现在分词形式placing在句首作伴随状语） [高分句型2] While he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness, for him, the best harvest was the friendship with Levi. （运用了以while引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型3] We might not always recognize when life hands us an opportunity to help others, but when it really does, we should take action.（运用了以but连接的表转折意义的并列句；及以when引导的时间状语从句） 听力1-20CBBAAACACBABACBBACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长郡中学2024年上学期高一期末考试 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B Gutiérrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure. Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez. Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As the word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him many more books to grow his library. Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading. Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us? 4. What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books? A. The abandoned Anna Karenina. B. Leo Tolstoy’s life. C. Children’s living conditions. D. A community library. 5. Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”? A. To create a harmonious neighborhood. B. To give his mother sufficient books. C To promote children’s reading. D. To improve the community life. 6. What can best describe Gutiérrez? A. Devoted and talented. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Passionate and well-educated. D. Creative and caring. 7. What would be the best title for the text? A. Desire for Reading B. From Garbage to Treasure C. Gutiérrez’s Life D. An Amazing Model of Education C I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it. To my friend A, All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going. We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother — and giving birth — has enhanced my feelings of unity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard. A note about sleep: you will be OK — you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to. 8. Who might be the intended audience for this article? A. Self-centered parents. B. Those fearing to have a baby. C. Broken-hearted friends. D. Those avoiding marriage. 9.

D. Culture. D For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 12. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 13. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 14. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A. Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 15. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. 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。 For many websites, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, or just crazy. ____16____ With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites. Look for established institutions (确立的机构). ____17____ However, what you want are sites associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organizations or universities. Consult sites with expertise (专门知识). You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point. ____18____ For example, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Avoid commercial (商业的) sites. Sites run by companies and businesses—their websites usually end with “.com”—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) in favor of their product. ____19____ But be cautious (谨慎). ____20____ Respected websites often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good sign. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry too much. A. Check the links. B. Enter the following text into the search field. C. Look for websites that specialize in what you’re seeking. D. If a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it. E. The Internet is full of websites that were started five minutes ago. F. That’s not to say commercial sites should be screened (屏蔽) entirely. G. For inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range of problems. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Anna was a 9-year-old girl from a small village.

Nowhere was that more true than at a recent 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana. There were two players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, who hadn’t known each other before. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-old student from Western Boone High School, has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years. Axel Aleman, who is from Sheridan High School, is a friendly and generous person and he is always more concerned about others than himself. Axel once said to his classmates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. As a teen athlete, the choice is extremely clear.” The game went very well at first. However, with less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange slipped, twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt something was wrong with my ankle.” Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him. Generally, winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman, But at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Axel. “I was able to see he was in a lot of pain,” Axel recalled. “As I got closer to him, he narrowly fell down. I asked if he was all right. He said he felt like something broken in his leg.” Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmen, Axel refused to leave Levi behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right thing to do. That mattered more than the race. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. I wanted to help him finish the match.” 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。 Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Axel gained a lot from the incident. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20CBBAAACACBABACBBACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
