November 5 at 9:00 a.m. B It was the summer of 1979, Laurie, my wife, and I were excited to spend two weeks exploring Africa. Our adventures led us to a city called Tétouan in Morocco. We were walking in the marketplace when I saw her. She was about 20 feet from us, lying flat on her stomach, pulling herself across the streets. Her hands were dirty and bloodied, covered with cuts. People were rushing past her. She was almost invisible to everyone around her. The crowd was sweeping us down the street, little fazed by the woman’s situation. “We have to do something,” I said to Laurie. She nodded. We looked up and down the street, searching for something to buy her, anything with wheels. But before we could figure out a way to help her, she was gone. Many years later, as I walked through our living room past an old wheelchair, I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. My thoughts flew back to that woman in the marketplace. I wondered if there was a way to make a wheelchair that would be durable (耐用的) yet lightweight, easy to produce, and affordable to transport. I began to draw designs for a prototype (样品) . Several materials crossed my mind: steel, iron, and plastic. But for the longest time, I was stuck. We were approaching the end of lawn (草坪) furniture season in California when the answer suddenly came out of the blue. The white resin (树脂) lawn chair. In 2001, our humanitarian nonprofit, Free Wheelchair Mission, was born. Over the past two decades, we have given away wheelchairs to over 1.3 million people across five continents. The gift of mobility transforms the lives of people living with disabilities. That’s why I tell our story in my new book Miracle Wheels: The Story of a Mission to Bring Mobility to the World, not only to share my journey to find purpose but also to encourage you to find purpose in your own journey by helping others in need. 4. What does the underlined word “fazed” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Bothered. B. Convinced. C. Motivated. D. Threatened. 5. How did the author feel about the woman? A. Slightly embarrassed. B. Slightly guilty. C Full of fear. D. Full of sympathy. 6. What troubled the author most when he started to build a wheelchair? A. Its special design. B. Its ideal material. C. Its traveling distance. D. Its particular function. 7. Why does the author share his story in Miracle Wheels? A. To draw more attention to the disabled. B. To attract readers to join his organization. C. To use it as an introduction to the new book. D. To encourage readers to find meaning in assisting others. C Sometimes it seems anti-pollution and recycling efforts are a long road to nowhere. That’s how engineer Toby McCartney felt, until visiting India in 2016. While on the trip he worked with a group filling holes on roads using a makeshift (权宜的) method combining waste plastics, diesel fuel (柴油), and fire. Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century — and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries, “to solve two world problems : plastic waste, and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.” Upon returning home to Scotland, he and two friends started experimenting, melting down various combinations of consumer plastics on his kitchen stove (炉子). After going through over 500 different combinations of waste plastics, they found materials that worked and founded a company, named MacRebur, to start building their plastic-enhanced roads. In MacRebur, waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20% of the sticky oil-based bitumen (沥青) that is used on traditional roads. The mixed material is up to 60% stronger, up to three times longer-lasting, and has huge environmental benefits. According to McCartney, each mile of road laid with his company’s product uses almost 1.2 million single-use plastic bags or 80,000 plastic bottles. For every one-mile road, there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons. McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains. Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen, it can’t easily reenter the environment. “All our plastics are heated to around180 degrees,” says McCartney. “They then fully mix with the remaining bitumen in the road, so there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads.” “At the end of the day plastic is a great product,” McCartney says. “It lasts long, which is a problem if it’s a waste product, but not a problem if we want it to last.” 8. What do we know about McCartney’s Indian trip? A. He got inspiration from it. B. He taught the locals to fill road holes. C. He witnessed serious plastic pollution. D. He was disappointed by the poor roads. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning MacRebur’s product? A. Its materials. B. Its production procedures. C. Its advantages. D. Its potential applications. 10. What is McCartney’s attitude to the enhanced roads’ environmental cost? A. Reserved. B. Unworried. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastics can save the planet B. Makeshift roads will be the norm C. Engineer invents new plastic that lasts longer D. Waste plastics could build the roads of future D Standing outside my hospital the other day, I was struck by a sight. In fact, it’s a sight we’ve all seen countless times: obese (肥胖的) nurses standing around outside a hospital. It is estimated that one in four nurses is obese, with nearly two-thirds being overweight. While some have argued that obese nurses may be less productive and take more time off sick, this isn’t my concern at all. I’m just worried about the example they set to others. Yes, of course, nurses and doctors struggle with having a healthy lifestyle like everyone else. But if they can’t stick to the basic principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that they are promoting themselves, then in my opinion they have no business being on the front line. No patient is going to take them seriously unless they can demonstrate that they at least try to practise what they promote. It’s a serious professional failing, because it sends the disastrous message of “do as I say not as I do”, which is never going to result in someone changing their ways. You wouldn’t take advice about reducing your drinking from an alcoholic, would you? So why should you be expected to listen to an overweight healthcare professional who is telling you to lose a few pounds? Of course, there are lots of instances when a doctor or nurse’s personal struggles can really help. For example, I used to smoke and I find this actually helps me because I can relate to patients—I know their struggles, I know their concerns and I know the things they say to themselves to avoid quitting. Knowing that I used to smoke helps me come across as more human to my patients—I’ve done silly things but I’ve changed and so can they. Similarly, a nurse who was previously obese but has now lost weight could be a real motivation for patients. But until they have lost weight and can demonstrate that they practise what they promote, they risk alienating (使疏远) the very patients they are charged with helping. 12 What worries the author concerning obese nurses? A. They will call in sick a lot. B. They will be unlikely to take patients seriously. C. They will fail to play their role in health promotion. D. They will be incompetent at their job on the front line. 13. What is the author’s attitude to “do as I say not as I do” ? A. Tolerant. B. Contradictory. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving. 14. In what way is the author’s experience of quitting smoking helpful? A. He understands smokers better. B. He manages to maintain a healthier lifestyle. C. He has become brave in the face of struggles. D. He sets a good example to his workmates. 15. What can we infer about the author? A. He is an alcoholic. B. He is a doctor. C. He is overweight. D. He is impatient. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make More Time for Music Are you one of those people who loves listening to music?

One day, he was busy with his work. During it, he also tried to look for a toy that he could send to her daughter Janet as a birthday gift. After a long time, he failed to find a good enough toy. “How could I let my daughter down for the second year?” Lenny thought sadly. He was standing among the rubbish. Suddenly, he heard an animal’s sound. It was a little dog, which had been hiding under a big wood board, looking Lenny straight in the eye. “Hi! Where’s your mom?” Lenny asked and picked up the dog, looking around for any sign of another dog. At the same time, his co-worker Joe waited in the garbage truck. “Lenny, just leave it alone. We’re running late. You don’t want to lose this job, do you?” Joe reminded. His friend was right. He couldn’t afford to lose this job. He needed to pay for Janet’s medical bills. Janet suffered from special epilepsy (癫痫) every few weeks. Every time, the sudden attack of the disease would cause Janet to fall on the ground with painful convulsions (抽搐) . Lenny thought about putting the dog back down for a second. But he couldn’t let the poor little creature in his arms go. He looked around once again and carried him along. He wanted to save the dog and planned to give it to Janet. When he arrived home, little Janet asked, “Dad! What’s in this box? ” Lenny was silent, worrying she’d dislike it. Unexpectedly, when Janet opened the box, she said excitedly, “Oh, a little dog. ” This dog was an unusual type of dog. It could pick up on early signs of an upcoming attack of epilepsy. Then, it would bark (吠叫) , warning the owner about it. Then, people could rush in time to prepare everything necessary to treat and calm the convulsions that were about to happen to the patient. Not knowing that special, natural ability of the dog, Lenny and Janet lifted the little creature together. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Janet happily put her arms around the dog. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Does the dog worsen Janet’s disease?” Lenny wondered and rushed to the hospital. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1-5 BCBAC 6-10 BCCAB 11-15 CBBAA 16-20 CBABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ XCS 2023—2024学年第二学期期末教学质量检测 高二英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 1.

Our adventures led us to a city called Tétouan in Morocco. We were walking in the marketplace when I saw her. She was about 20 feet from us, lying flat on her stomach, pulling herself across the streets. Her hands were dirty and bloodied, covered with cuts. People were rushing past her. She was almost invisible to everyone around her. The crowd was sweeping us down the street, little fazed by the woman’s situation. “We have to do something,” I said to Laurie. She nodded. We looked up and down the street, searching for something to buy her, anything with wheels. But before we could figure out a way to help her, she was gone. Many years later, as I walked through our living room past an old wheelchair, I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. My thoughts flew back to that woman in the marketplace. I wondered if there was a way to make a wheelchair that would be durable (耐用的) yet lightweight, easy to produce, and affordable to transport. I began to draw designs for a prototype (样品) . Several materials crossed my mind: steel, iron, and plastic. But for the longest time, I was stuck. We were approaching the end of lawn (草坪) furniture season in California when the answer suddenly came out of the blue. The white resin (树脂) lawn chair. In 2001, our humanitarian nonprofit, Free Wheelchair Mission, was born. Over the past two decades, we have given away wheelchairs to over 1.3 million people across five continents. The gift of mobility transforms the lives of people living with disabilities. That’s why I tell our story in my new book Miracle Wheels: The Story of a Mission to Bring Mobility to the World, not only to share my journey to find purpose but also to encourage you to find purpose in your own journey by helping others in need. 4. What does the underlined word “fazed” in paragraph 2 mean? A Bothered. B. Convinced. C. Motivated. D. Threatened. 5. How did the author feel about the woman? A. Slightly embarrassed. B. Slightly guilty. C. Full of fear. D. Full of sympathy. 6. What troubled the author most when he started to build a wheelchair? A. Its special design. B. Its ideal material. C. Its traveling distance. D. Its particular function. 7. Why does the author share his story in Miracle Wheels? A. To draw more attention to the disabled. B. To attract readers to join his organization. C. To use it as an introduction to the new book. D. To encourage readers to find meaning in assisting others. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7.

The crowd was sweeping us down the street, little fazed by the woman’s situation.(她周围的人几乎看不见她。人群席卷了我们并让我们沿着街道走，对那个女人的处境毫不 。)”可知，周围的人对她视而不见，没有被她的处境而“困扰”，所以猜测faze表“困扰”的意思。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“We looked up and down the street, searching for something to buy her, anything with wheels. But before we could figure out a way to help her, she was gone.(我们在街上走来走去，寻找可以给她买的东西，任何有轮子的东西。但在我们想办法帮助她之前，她已经走了。)”可知，作者对这女人充满同情。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“Several materials crossed my mind: steel, iron, and plastic. But for the longest time, I was stuck. We were approaching the end of lawn (草坪) furniture season in California when the answer suddenly came out of the blue. The white resin (树脂) lawn chair.(我想到了几种材料：钢、铁和塑料。但在最长的一段时间里，我被卡住了。在加利福尼亚草坪家具季即将结束之际，答案突然出现了。白色树脂草坪椅。)”可知，当作者开始制作轮椅时，它的理想材料最困扰他。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“That’s why I tell our story in my new book Miracle Wheels: The Story of a Mission to Bring Mobility to the World, not only to share my journey to find purpose but also to encourage you to find purpose in your own journey by helping others in need.(这就是为什么我在新书《 Miracle Wheels: The Story of a Mission to Bring Mobility to the World》中讲述我们的故事，不仅是为了分享我寻找目标的旅程，也是为了鼓励你通过帮助他人在自己的旅程中找到目标。)”可知，作者在《 Miracle Wheels》中分享他的故事，鼓励读者在帮助他人中找到意义。故选D项。 C Sometimes it seems anti-pollution and recycling efforts are a long road to nowhere. That’s how engineer Toby McCartney felt, until visiting India in 2016. While on the trip he worked with a group filling holes on roads using a makeshift (权宜的) method combining waste plastics, diesel fuel (柴油), and fire. Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century — and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries, “to solve two world problems : plastic waste, and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.” Upon returning home to Scotland, he and two friends started experimenting, melting down various combinations of consumer plastics on his kitchen stove (炉子). After going through over 500 different combinations of waste plastics, they found materials that worked and founded a company, named MacRebur, to start building their plastic-enhanced roads. In MacRebur, waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20% of the sticky oil-based bitumen (沥青) that is used on traditional roads. The mixed material is up to 60% stronger, up to three times longer-lasting, and has huge environmental benefits. According to McCartney, each mile of road laid with his company’s product uses almost 1.2 million single-use plastic bags or 80,000 plastic bottles. For every one-mile road, there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons. McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains. Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen, it can’t easily reenter the environment. “All our plastics are heated to around180 degrees,” says McCartney. “They then fully mix with the remaining bitumen in the road, so there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads.” “At the end of the day plastic is a great product” McCartney says. “It lasts long, which is a problem if it’s a waste product, but not a problem if we want it to last.” 8. What do we know about McCartney’s Indian trip? A. He got inspiration from it. B. He taught the locals to fill road holes. C. He witnessed serious plastic pollution. D. He was disappointed by the poor roads. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning MacRebur’s product? A. Its materials. B. Its production procedures. C. Its advantages. D. Its potential applications. 10. What is McCartney’s attitude to the enhanced roads’ environmental cost? A. Reserved. B. Unworried. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastics can save the planet B. Makeshift roads will be the norm C. Engineer invents new plastic that lasts longer D. Waste plastics could build the roads of future 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了工程师托比·麦卡特尼在研究了500多种不同废塑料组合后，他们找到了有效的材料，并成立了一家名为MacRebur的公司，开始建造塑料增强公路。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century — and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries, “to solve two world problems : plastic waste, and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.”(自世纪之交以来，塑料一直被用于印度的道路建设，麦卡特尼意识到这个想法可以应用于其他国家的道路建设，“以解决两个世界问题:塑料垃圾，另一方面是我们今天行驶的道路质量差。”)”可知，麦卡特尼从印度之行中获得了灵感。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In MacRebur, waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20% of the sticky oil-based bitumen (沥青) that is used on traditional roads. The mixed material is up to 60% stronger, up to three times longer-lasting, and has huge environmental benefits. According to McCartney, each mile of road laid with his company’s product uses almost 1. 2 million single-use plastic bags or 80, 000 plastic bottles. For every one-mile road, there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons.(在MacRebur，废塑料被分解成小块，取代了传统道路上使用的20%的粘性油基沥青。混合材料的强度提高了60%，使用寿命延长了三倍，并具有巨大的环境效益。根据麦卡特尼的说法，每铺设一英里的道路，他的公司的产品使用近120万个一次性塑料袋或8万个塑料瓶。每走一英里路，就能减少约33吨的碳排放)”可知，关于MacRebur的产品，第三段主要讲了其优点。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains. Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen, it can’t easily reenter the environment.(麦卡特尼确信，当下雨时，道路上的塑料不会被冲回河流和海洋。由于塑料被安全地夹在石头和沥青之间，它不容易重新进入环境)”可知，麦卡特尼对增建道路的环境成本持不担忧的态度。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century — and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries, “to solve two world problems : plastic waste, and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.”(自世纪之交以来，塑料一直被用于印度的道路建设，麦卡特尼意识到这个想法可以应用于其他国家的道路建设，“以解决两个世界问题：塑料垃圾，另一方面是我们今天行驶的道路质量差。”)”结合文章主要说明了工程师托比·麦卡特尼在研究了500多种不同的废塑料组合后，他们找到了有效的材料，并成立了一家名为MacRebur的公司，开始建造塑料增强公路。D选项“废塑料可以建造未来的道路”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Standing outside my hospital the other day, I was struck by a sight. In fact, it’s a sight we’ve all seen countless times: obese (肥胖的) nurses standing around outside a hospital. It is estimated that one in four nurses is obese, with nearly two-thirds being overweight. While some have argued that obese nurses may be less productive and take more time off sick, this isn’t my concern at all. I’m just worried about the example they set to others. Yes, of course, nurses and doctors struggle with having a healthy lifestyle like everyone else. But if they can’t stick to the basic principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that they are promoting themselves, then in my opinion they have no business being on the front line. No patient is going to take them seriously unless they can demonstrate that they at least try to practise what they promote. It’s a serious professional failing, because it sends the disastrous message of “do as I say not as I do”, which is never going to result in someone changing their ways. You wouldn’t take advice about reducing your drinking from an alcoholic, would you? So why should you be expected to listen to an overweight healthcare professional who is telling you to lose a few pounds? Of course, there are lots of instances when a doctor or nurse’s personal struggles can really help. For example, I used to smoke and I find this actually helps me because I can relate to patients—I know their struggles, I know their concerns and I know the things they say to themselves to avoid quitting. Knowing that I used to smoke helps me come across as more human to my patients—I’ve done silly things but I’ve changed and so can they. Similarly, a nurse who was previously obese but has now lost weight could be a real motivation for patients. But until they have lost weight and can demonstrate that they practise what they promote, they risk alienating (使疏远) the very patients they are charged with helping. 12. What worries the author concerning obese nurses? A. They will call in sick a lot. B. They will be unlikely to take patients seriously. C. They will fail to play their role in health promotion. D. They will be incompetent at their job on the front line. 13. What is the author’s attitude to “do as I say not as I do” ? A. Tolerant. B. Contradictory. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving. 14. In what way is the author’s experience of quitting smoking helpful? A. He understands smokers better. B. He manages to maintain a healthier lifestyle. C. He has become brave in the face of struggles. D. He sets a good example to his workmates. 15. What can we infer about the author? A. He is an alcoholic. B. He is a doctor. C. He is overweight. D. He is impatient. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是议论文。作者就肥胖护士这一现象提出了自己的担忧和观点，探讨了其对职业形象、患者信任以及健康宣传的影响，并通过个人经历来强化论述，试图说服读者认同其关于医疗工作者应成为健康生活方式榜样的观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“While some have argued that obese nurses may be less productive and take more time off sick, this isn’t my concern at all. I’m just worried about the example they set to others. Yes, of course, nurses and doctors struggle with having a healthy lifestyle like everyone else. (虽然有些人认为肥胖的护士可能会降低工作效率，并请更多的病假，但这根本不是我所关心的。我只是担心他们会给别人树立榜样。是的，当然，护士和医生也像其他人一样努力保持健康的生活方式。)”可知，作者担心的是肥胖护士给别人树立了不好的榜样，尤其是在健康促进方面无法有效发挥作用。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。在文章第三段“It’s a serious professional failing, because it sends the disastrous message of “do as I say not as I do”, which is never going to result in someone changing their ways. You wouldn’t take advice about reducing your drinking from an alcoholic, would you? So why should you be expected to listen to an overweight healthcare professional who is telling you to lose a few pounds? (这是一个严重的职业失败，因为它传递了一个灾难性的信息：“照我说的做，不要照我做的做”，这永远不会导致人们改变他们的生活方式。你不会听从酒鬼的建议少喝酒吧？那么，为什么你要听从一个超重的医疗保健专业人士的建议，让你减掉几磅呢？)”可知，作者指出这种做法永远不会导致某人改变他们的行为方式。因此，作者对这种行为持反对态度。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Of course, there are lots of instances when a doctor or nurse’s personal struggles can really help. For example, I used to smoke and I find this actually helps me because I can relate to patients—I know their struggles, I know their concerns and I know the things they say to themselves to avoid quitting. Knowing that I used to smoke helps me come across as more human to my patients—I’ve done silly things but I’ve changed and so can they. (当然，在很多情况下，医生或护士的个人挣扎确实会有所帮助。例如，我曾经吸烟，我发现这实际上对我有帮助，因为我能理解病人——我知道他们的挣扎，我知道他们的担忧，我知道他们为了避免戒烟而对自己说的话。知道我曾经吸烟有助于让我的病人觉得我更有人情味——我做过蠢事，但我已经改变了，他们也可以。)”可知，作者戒烟的经历让他能更好地理解吸烟者。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Standing outside my hospital the other day, I was struck by a sight. In fact, it’s a sight we’ve all seen countless times: obese (肥胖的) nurses standing around outside a hospital. It is estimated that one in four nurses is obese, with nearly two-thirds being overweight. (有一天，我站在医院外面，被眼前的一幕震撼了。事实上，我们已经见过无数次了：肥胖的护士站在医院外面。据估计，四分之一的护士肥胖，近三分之二的护士超重。)”可知，作者无数次看到肥胖的护士站在医院外面，讨论了医疗工作者的肥胖问题以及他们应该如何作为患者的榜样，提到了自己过去吸烟后来戒烟的经历，这暗示作者可能是医生，因为医生更直接地参与患者的健康指导和建议给出，符合文中所表达的视角和经历。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make More Time for Music Are you one of those people who loves listening to music?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章通过引用科学研究和实例，阐述了听音乐对人的心灵、身体以及学习能力的积极影响，旨在向读者传达增加音乐欣赏时间的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Are you one of those people who loves listening to music? Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. (你是那种喜欢听音乐的人吗？你一有空就听吗？如果是这样，你正在做一些对你的身心有益的事情。)”可知，上文提到的音乐对心灵和身体的好处可知，此处在强调音乐的积极作用。选项C“If not, you should think about adding more music to your life. (如果没有，你应该考虑给你的生活添加更多的音乐。)”能承接上文，鼓励那些还没有意识到音乐好处的人考虑在生活中增加更多的音乐。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. (音乐可以让你微笑，一起唱歌，或者站起来跳舞。这些经历证明了音乐力量。事实上，科学家认为音乐能让人更快乐。麦吉尔大学的Valorie N. Salimpoor研究了音乐和人类大脑的关系。她已经证明，听悦耳的音乐能使大脑产生积极的变化。)”可知，提到了Valorie N. Salimpoor的研究证明了听愉快的音乐能引起大脑的积极变化，接下来应该描述这些变化带来的具体感受。选项D“These changes create feelings of excitement, joy, and pleasure. (这些变化产生了兴奋、喜悦和愉悦的感觉。)”正好解释了这些大脑变化如何让人感到兴奋、喜悦和快乐，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. (然而，音乐不仅对你的思想和情绪有好处。这对你的身体也有好处。来自西班牙和巴西的一组科学家研究了音乐对跑步者的影响。科学家们发现，人们在听音乐时跑得更快、更久。音乐也可以帮助你骑得更快。英国科学家研究了听快节奏音乐的骑自行车者。)”可知，前面提到了英国科学家研究了听快节奏音乐的骑车者，逻辑上接下来应说明研究的具体发现，即快节奏音乐对骑车速度的影响。选项B“The faster the beat, the faster the bikers rode. (节奏越快，骑自行车的人就骑得越快。)”直接阐述了音乐节拍速度与骑车速度之间的相关关系，能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? (还不相信听音乐对你有好处？)”和下文“Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned. Students who listened to background music during a test answered more test questions. They got more of the answers correct too. (芬兰的科学家已经证明音乐对学生有帮助。当你学习新东西时，听音乐可以帮助你。它还可以帮助你更好地记住你学过的东西。在考试中听背景音乐的学生回答了更多的考题。他们答对的答案也更多。)”可知，这里需要一个过渡句来引出音乐对于学习能力提升的作用。选项F“Then you might be interested to learn that music can help you learn. (那么你可能有兴趣了解音乐可以帮助你学习。)”以一种假设的方式引出了音乐帮助学习的新话题，与前文形成对比并引起读者兴趣。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It’s a powerful force that can make our lives better. It can improve our mood, our health, and even our grades. In short, it’s good for you. So make time for music. You won’t regret it! (它是一种强大的力量，可以让我们的生活更美好。它可以改善我们的情绪，我们的健康，甚至我们的成绩。简而言之，它对你有好处。所以要腾出时间听音乐。你不会后悔的！)”可知，本空需要概括音乐的多重正面影响。选项A“Music is more than just a pleasant art. (音乐不仅仅是一门令人愉快的艺术。)”恰当地总结了音乐不仅仅是一种令人愉悦的艺术形式，暗示了其对情绪、健康乃至学业成绩的广泛益处，因此答案是 A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 After my graduation from college, I was always worried about my income.

One day, he was busy with his work. During it, he also tried to look for a toy that he could send to her daughter Janet as a birthday gift. After a long time, he failed to find a good enough toy. “How could I let my daughter down for the second year?” Lenny thought sadly. He was standing among the rubbish. Suddenly, he heard an animal’s sound. It was a little dog, which had been hiding under a big wood board, looking Lenny straight in the eye. “Hi! Where’s your mom?” Lenny asked and picked up the dog, looking around for any sign of another dog. At the same time, his co-worker Joe waited in the garbage truck. “Lenny, just leave it alone. We’re running late. You don’t want to lose this job, do you?” Joe reminded. His friend was right. He couldn’t afford to lose this job. He needed to pay for Janet’s medical bills. Janet suffered from special epilepsy (癫痫) every few weeks. Every time, the sudden attack of the disease would cause Janet to fall on the ground with painful convulsions (抽搐) . Lenny thought about putting the dog back down for a second. But he couldn’t let the poor little creature in his arms go. He looked around once again and carried him along. He wanted to save the dog and planned to give it to Janet. When he arrived home, little Janet asked, “Dad! What’s in this box? ” Lenny was silent, worrying she’d dislike it. Unexpectedly, when Janet opened the box, she said excitedly, “Oh, a little dog. ” This dog was an unusual type of dog. It could pick up on early signs of an upcoming attack of epilepsy. Then, it would bark (吠叫) , warning the owner about it. Then, people could rush in time to prepare everything necessary to treat and calm the convulsions that were about to happen to the patient.

Suddenly, Jimmy started barking continually at Janet and also him. This wasn’t a friendly bark but it didn’t seem to attack anyone. It just kept barking, as if it wanted to tell them something. Before long, Janet fell onto the grass and started convulsing. Weeks later, the dog barked crazily again before Janet’s sudden epilepsy. “Does the dog worsen Janet’s disease?” Lenny wondered and rushed to the hospital. After Lenny told everything, the doctor smiled. “Your dog seems to be benefiting your daughter instead.” After the doctor explained the reason, Lenny returned home, amazed. The following month, Jimmy tried to get their attention minutes before Janet’s convulsions again. When Jimmy barked at them unusually the fourth time, Lenny quickly prepared everything necessary to treat and calm the convulsions that would happen to Janet. In the following years, Jimmy stayed beside Janet, helping the owner who had saved it. Everything was the best arrangement. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莱尼在收集垃圾的时候发现了一条狗，女儿珍妮特想要留下这条狗，这条狗可以在珍妮特癫痫发作之前警告家人，事先他们还不知情，在医生解释以后，发现一切都是最好的安排。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，珍妮特高兴地搂着狗”可知，第一段可描写狗会在珍妮特癫痫发作之前警告家人。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘这只狗会加重珍妮特的病情吗？’莱尼很纳闷，急忙赶到医院”可知，第二段可描写莱尼得知狗的作用以后的感悟。 2.续写线索：珍妮特抱狗——狗大叫——珍妮特癫痫发作——送往医院——医生告知——莱尼感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赶往某地：rush to somewhere/hurry to somewhere ②倒下：fall onto / collapse ③引起注意：get attention /draw attention 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised ②疯狂地：crazily/madly 【点睛】[高分句型1] It just kept barking, as if it wanted to tell them something.
