So since 1989, we’ve offered summer day camps where kids choose their own adventures through a range of activities. It offers a safe, judgment-free environment for kids to have fun.

B On a bright September day in the French Alps in 2022, John McAvoy was 38 kilometres into a very exhausting ultramarathon through rough mountain paths. Battling tiredness, he pushed his body and mind through the final leg of the race. With the finish arch in the famous town of Chamonix just four kilometres away and the cloud-topped peak of Mont Blanc high over him, McAvoy welled up with emotion. In that moment, he felt so free and alive. It was quite the opposite from where his life had been a decade before. He had just been released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence. Now 40 years old, McAvoy has spent the last 10 years rejuvenating his life from one of crime to one with purpose. It was on this day, while running the ultramarathon, that he realized how impactful conquering (征服) this mountain run could be for inner-city kids like him. After all, sport had helped him live a normal life again and open up his world. It could do the same for others. With the help of Youth Beyond Borders, McAvoy started the Alpine Run Project, which recently led 12 disadvantaged British young people through their own Mont Blanc races. The participants, from refugees (难民) to young reformed criminals and those who grew up in Children’s home, were matched with coaches, consultants and physiotherapists. After a six-month training program, the youth travelled to the Alps to meet up with McAvoy for their race. McAvoy says the highlight of this project for him was watching Yasmin Mahamud, a 20-year-old refugee from Syria, run through the finish arch and into the arms of her new friends. It was a life-changing high for Mahamud, too—inspiring her to keep running, take up martial arts and go to university to study physiotherapy. “It changed my point of view on life,” says Mahamud. Pushing herself to complete the race gave her a brief experience of her own potential through hard work and devotion. “I will always be thankful to John for giving me this opportunity and guidance.” 4. How did McAvoy feel before the finish arch? A. He felt totally collapsed. B. He was peaceful and hopeful. C. He was satisfied with his pace. D. He felt as if completely reborn. 5. Which best replaces the underlined word “rejuvenating” in paragraph 3? A. Rearranging. B. Rebuilding. C. Reconnecting. D. Reevaluating 6. Who most probably took part in the Mont Blanc races? A. A running coach B. A travel lover. C. A homeless teenager. D. A skilled athlete. 7. What message does McAvoy’s story convey? A. Live for the moment. B. Dream big and climb high. C. After the storm comes the rainbow. D. Run after the light and become the light. C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms(同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness? A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story. 9. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on? A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude. C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude. 10. Netta describes the state of loneliness as __________. A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. influential 11. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy. C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences. D Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots(芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils(卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on? A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities. 13. What is an advantage of FiloBot? A. It moves everywhere quickly. B. It has a solid metal body. C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot. C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique design of FiloBot. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text? A. A Role Model for Robotics Research. B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics. C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics. D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10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。 In a world obsessed with “more” it’s easy to overlook the power of subtraction(减法). We’re constantly bombed with messages telling us that we need more stuff, more money, and more followers. 16 Let’s explore the power of subtraction, and how less can truly mean more. We all have too much stuff. It’s time to clear up. Donate or sell what you don’t need or love. You’ll be amazed at how liberating it feels to live with less. 17 The fewer possessions you have, the more you’ll appreciate what truly matters. In today’s fast-paced world, our attention is a valuable commodity. 18 For example, excessive social media scrolling, watching TV shows nonstop or focusing too much attention on insignificant tasks is time-consuming. Subtract these time wasters and redirect your focus toward more meaningful pursuits. 19 Assess the people in your life and determine who uplifts you and who brings you down. Identify who helps contribute to your success and who holds you back. Subtract the poisonous individuals and invest more time and energy into the friendships that genuinely enrich your life. Our minds are often filled with worries, negative thoughts, and self-doubt. Learning to let go of this mental mess can significantly improve our overall well-being. Practice mindfulness techniques, such as yoga, to help clear your mind. 20 A. As we can see, more means a richer life. B. But what if less is the secret to happiness? C. Try to subtract your unhealthy habits from your life. D. Identify meaningless activities that occupy your time. E. We must admit not all relationships are worth keeping. F. Embrace minimalism and focus on quality over quantity. G. Thus, you’ll make room for more optimism and creativity. 第二部分 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。 Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and broke a basement window of my house.

But Aamir, a homeless Indian boy, doubted it. Wandering the noisy railway platform, he found one of his flip-flops (人字拖鞋) broken again. He hurried to a corner, sat down and tried to fix it, his bare foot pressing awkwardly against the ground. However, it was beyond repair. He gave up and looked around aimlessly, staring at people’s shoes. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to two boyish legs wearing flawlessly white socks and equally perfect black leather shoes, which were glittering in the mid-day sun. It was a boy of his age. He couldn’t treasure his possession too much, obviously, because every ten seconds, he stopped, bent down and carefully wiped a dust or two from his shoes. His father was constantly glancing over and urging him, “Hurry up! The train is coming!” Aamir’s eyes followed the father and son, but mostly the leather shoes, as if enchanted (被施魔法的). Imagining himself wearing them, the comfort from the good leather, jaw-dropping look on his friends’ faces, he couldn’t help cracking a big smile. The bell of the train drew him back; the fancy-shoe boy and his father were about to get aboard. They tried to crowd into the doorway. However, the instant the boy entered the compartment（车厢）, one of his shoes fell off and before he could pick it up, the train began to pull away. The shoe was now lying alone on the platform. Aamir’s eyes lit up with excitement. Like an arrow, he shot for the shoe and then picked it up, holding it with both hands as if holding the Queen’s crown. After a few seconds of hesitating and looking from the shoe to the train and back, he began racing — with only one good shoe, his flip-flop. He held the leather shoe up, trying to pass it to the boy through the window, who was desperately reaching out his hand as well. However, it was never close enough. 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。 That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train. ___________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But when he raised his head, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window. ___________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 11 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 广州六中2022级高二下学期英语期末考试答案 第一部分 阅读（共两节, 满分40分。） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分。） 1-3 ABB 4-7 DBCD 8-11 ADCC 12-15 DCBC 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分） 16-20 BFDEG 第二部分语言运用（共两节, 满分30分。） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分。） 21-25 CBBDC 26-30 ABDCA 31-35 DACAD 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分。） 36. has made 37.

I am writing to share with you an exciting series of activities that our school recently organized under the theme “When English Meets The Art”. Aimed at bridging the gap between language learning and artistic expression, the series of activities were held in June for senior two students. One of the highlights was the event “Poetry with Music” where students were encouraged to create their own poem. Then they composed or selected a piece of music that best complemented the mood and theme of that poem in the form of singing or reading aloud. My experience in this event was immensely rewarding. I found it fascinating to see how different combinations of poems and music could evoke such diverse emotions and interpretations. Are there any similar campus events held in your school that you would like to share with me? Looking forward to your early reply. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分。） 参考范文1： That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train. With his eyes fixed on the window, Aamir put all his strength in his right hand and made a powerful throw. However, he abruptly fell off because of the broken flip-flop. Without a second thought, he tried again, but the shoe just flew past the window frame and fell on the platform like a dead leaf. Seeing this, Aamir stamped his feet, wearing a frustrated look. “Are shoes really made for walking?”, Aamir thought with depression. He drooped his head, not knowing what to do next. But when he raised his head, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window. Miraculously, it landed on the platform several steps away from him. Before he could look up again and seek out the fancy-shoe boy, the train sped on, vanishing in the distance. What remained in sight was the meandering rail track and the rolling mountains far away. Twenty years later, when he was launching his new footwear product at a press conference, wearing a pair of shining leather shoes, Aamir started his presentation with a simple sentence: “Shoes are made for walking.” 参考范文2： That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the train. With his eyes glued to the window firmly, Aamir continued to try every ounce of his might to cast the shoe towards the window, but the shoe flew like a dead leaf, made an annoying curve and fell off to the ground once again. Dismayed and frustrated as he was, Aamire didn't give up. He quickened his pace, chasing on his bare but winged feet. After several greater attempts, the shoe was still reluctant to fly into the window. The wheels rumbling and tumbling louder and louder, the dimmer eye of the boy in the train gave away his feeling of loss, while Aamir stamped his feet with annoyance, his head drooping down in sorrow. But when he raised his head, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the window. Accurately and miraculously, the shoe landed exactly on the platform, which was not far away from Aamir. The shoe was shining in the sun like a crown with valuable diamonds. Naturally, Aamir picked up the shoe in no time. When Aamir raised his head, what came into sight was a radiant face of the boy, together with his father who waved goodbye with a broad smile as if telling Aamir to keep the shoes. Holding the two shoes with both hands, Aamir was overwhelmingly moved. He cracked a broad smile and waved hands to them with gratitude in return. Yeah, whoever wears the shoes, shoes are made for walking. 部分解析 阅读理解A篇 【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一个夏令营活动，包括票务、服务、位置、价格等。 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“So since 1989, we’ve offered summer day camps where kids choose their own adventures through a range of activities. It offers a safe, judgment-free environment for kids to have fun. They can be themselves, explore their passions, and find a sense of meaning in their activities, which is hard to find elsewhere.(因此，自1989年以来，我们提供夏令营，让孩子们通过一系列活动选择自己的冒险经历。它为孩子们提供了一个安全、不受评判的玩耍环境。他们可以做自己，探索自己的激情，在自己的活动中找到意义，这在其他地方很难找到)”可知，夏令营的目的是让儿童可以尽情玩耍。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tickets部分的“You can purchase as many Day Passes as you’d like, or get a Summer Pass, which is good for the entire season.(你可以购买任意数量的日间通票，也可以购买夏季通票，夏季通票适用于整个季节)”可知，夏令营有两种形式的票：日间票和夏季通票。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dates & Prices部分中“Please see our web page for your local dates & prices.(请参阅我们的网页了解您当地日期和价格)”可知，夏令营提供网上价格查询服务。故选B。 七选五 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是生活中“做减法”的意义以及在生活各方面如何“做减法”的建议。 【16题详解】 根据空前“In a world obsessed with “more,” it’s easy to overlook the power of subtraction(减法). We’re constantly bombed with messages telling us that we need more stuff, more money, and more followers.”(在一个痴迷于“更多”的世界里，很容易忽视减法的力量。我们持续不断地被各种信息轰炸，告诉我们要有更多的东西，更多的钱，更多的粉丝。)”可知本句强调了当今生活中主流的要做“加法”的思想，根据空后“Let’s explore the power of subtraction, and how less can truly mean more.(让我们来探索减法的力量，以及如何更少才能真正意味着更多。)”则强调了减法的力量，空处承上启下，所以空处应该缺少一个表示转折，并且是强调“减法”力量的句子，B项But what if less is the secret to happiness?(但是，如果幸福的秘诀是少呢？)承接上文，引出下文，而且选项中的But表明空前后语意上是一种转折关系，符合上下文语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“We all have too much stuff. It’s time to clear up. Donate or sell what you don’t need or love. You’ll be amazed at how liberating it feels to live with less.(我们都有太多的东西。该打扫了。捐赠或出售你不需要或不喜欢的东西。你会惊奇地发现少花钱是多么的自由。)”可知此处讲的是应该捐出或出售自己不需要或不喜欢的东西，根据空后“The fewer possessions you have, the more you’ll appreciate what truly matters.(拥有越少的东西，你越会欣赏那些真正重要的东西。)”可知本句强调了东西的质量胜过于东西的数量，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是我们更应该注重东西的质量而不是数量，F项Embrace minimalism and focus on quality over quantity.(拥抱极简主义，注重质量而不是数量。)指出要注重质量而不是数量，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“In today’s fast-paced world, our attention is a valuable commodity.(在当今快节奏的世界里，我们的注意力是一种宝贵的商品。)”可知此处讲的是在当今快节奏的世界里，我们的注意力是非常宝贵的，根据后文“excessive social media scrolling, watching TV shows non stop or focusing too much attention on insignificant tasks is time-consuming(过度刷社交媒体，不停地看电视节目，或者把太多的注意力集中在无关紧要的任务上，这些都很耗时。)”可知本句话所提到的都是一些占据时间的不重要的活动，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是人们要学会辨别这些不重要的活动，避免浪费时间，D项 Identify meaningless activities that occupy your time.(找出那些占用你时间的无意义活动。)指出要找出占用时间的无意义的活动，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 空处位于句首，应是对全段的概括，根据后文“Subtract the poisonous individuals and invest more time and energy into the friendships that genuinely enrich your life.(从你的生活中去掉那些有害的人，把时间投资在真正让你的生活变得丰富的友谊中。)”可知此处强调的是我们应该把时间投资在真正让自己的生活变得丰富的友谊中，所以空处应该讲这样做的原因是什么，选项E We must admit not all relationships are worth keeping. (我们必须承认并不是所有的关系都值得保持。)指出因为并不是所有的关系都值得保持，所以要学会辨别真正让自己生活变得丰富的友谊，对全段进行概括，符合上下文语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 空处位于段末，应对前文进行总结，根据空前“Practice mindfulness techniques, such as yoga, to help clear your mind(练习专注的技巧，比如瑜伽，来帮助你理清思路。)”可知这是一个练习专注的建议，所以空处应该是这个建议所带来的结果，G选项Thus, you’ll make room for more optimism and creativity.(因此，你会为更多的乐观和创造力腾出空间。)指出练习专注的技巧的结果，对前文进行了总结，而且G项开头的Thus刚好可以引出结果，符合逻辑，与此同时G选项中的Optimism也与前文中的negative thought相对应，符合上下文语境。故选G项。 完形填空 这篇完形填空通过一个具体的故事来引出一个更广泛的人生道理：不要因为心理上的夸大而推迟解决生活中的问题，实际上这些问题可能比我们想象的要容易处理得多。 21.
