Wander around at the San Diego Zoo The world-famous San Diego Zoo completely transformed its Children’s Zoo into the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp in 2022. It now features a treehouse -style activity area, kid -sized animal cave, and a big splash pad (喷水池). Plenty of bathrooms and changing areas make it convenient to get wet, dry off, and keep exploring. Watch sensory-friendly IMAX films Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park provides a hands-on approach to Science, presenting exhibits that explore themes like light, electricity, and the universe. In Studio X, a maker space, kids can design and construct projects like a wind-powered car, marble maze (大理石迷宫), or perhaps a lunar lander. On Accessibility Mornings every third Saturday of the month, families with sensory sensitivities can enter the museum an hour earlier and attend an IMAX showing with lower sound volume and brighter lighting. Sail through the air at Torrey Pines Gliderport Adventurous families can jump off a cliff (悬崖) and ride the wind over the beach with Torrey Pines Gliderport. Get a rush on a ride with a trained professional or take a lesson to learn the art of solo paragliding (滑翔伞) over sandstone cliffs. The gliderport is open seven days a week, weather permitting, and it accommodates various ages and experience levels. 1. What can visitors do at the San Diego Zoo? A. Direct an IMAX film. B. Ride a wind-powered car. C. Wander around. D. Have hands-on learning experiences. 2. Which family is suitable for IMAX films? A. The family who is interested in the culture. B. The family that is fond of fictions. C. The family who loves animals. D. The family that has sensory sensitivities. 3. Where’s the text probably from? A. A news report. B. A health column. C. A travel magazine. D. A science fiction. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了圣地亚哥的多个旅游景点和活动，如动物园，科学中心和滑翔伞基地，并强调了这些景点对家庭游客的吸引力。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wander around at the San Diego Zoo(去圣地亚哥动物园逛逛)中“The world-famous San Diego Zoo completely transformed its Children’s Zoo into the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp in 2022. It now features a treehouse -style activity area, kid -sized animal cave, and a big splash pad. Plenty of bathrooms and changing areas make it convenient to get wet, dry off, and keep exploring.”（世界著名的圣地亚哥动物园在2022年将其儿童动物园完全改造成了野生动物探险者大本营。它现在有一个树屋式的活动区，一个儿童大小的动物洞穴和一个大的水花垫。大量的浴室和更衣区使它很方便地变湿，变干，并继续探索。）可知，游客在圣地亚哥动物园可以四处逛逛。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Watch sensory-friendly IMAX films中“On Accessibility Mornings every third Saturday of the month, families with sensory sensitivities can enter the museum an hour earlier and attend an IMAX showing with lower sound volume and brighter lighting.”（每个月第三个周六的可访问上午，感官敏感的家庭可以提前一小时进入博物馆，观看音量更小、灯光更亮的IMAX放映。）可知，感官敏感的家庭适合看IMAX电影。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With an average of 266 sunny days every year, 17 miles of world-class beaches, and adventures available year-round, San Diego is an ideal place for families to explore.”（每年平均有266个晴天，17英里的世界级海滩，全年都有冒险活动，圣地亚哥是家庭探索的理想场所。）以及全文内容可知，文章详细介绍了圣地亚哥的多个旅游景点和活动，如动物园，科学中心和滑翔伞基地，并强调了这些景点对家庭游客的吸引力。这种介绍旅游景点、活动和体验的文章风格更符合旅游杂志的特点。故选C项。 B When I reach Yamada Bee Farm, Vivian is already busy checking hive (蜂箱) boxes, not noticing my presence. I hear her chatting with the bees, their soft hum (嗡嗡声) filling the air between words of encouragement and negotiation (商量). Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet. When I’m with the bees, I don’t need to hear. I can focus better when I’m not constantly disturbed.” Equipped with only her hood (头巾), hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees. I’m overdressed, having borrowed a full protective suit for the occasion. She instructs me to take off the gloves I brought and tells me where to stand so as to avoid stressing out the bees. Vivian’s gentle, careful style makes me feel at ease around her insects. The more time we spend together, the more I come to appreciate Vivian’s passion (热情) for bees, as well as the ways that being hard of hearing have influenced her unique approach to the beekeeping. In her practice, she emphasizes natural beekeeping techniques that employ minimal chemical interventions (干扰). And she’s able to get all the information she needs to tend to the hives by relying on her other senses. Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance. “There is a spiritual side to beekeeping,” she said. “You can’t fully control them, like with anything in nature, really. Some years you get a great honey season. Some years are horrible and you lose 50 percent of your hive. There’s a lot of heartbreak but a lot of joy in it, too, just working outside with these creatures—a living superorganism (个体).” 4. What assists Vivian to hear? A. a hive box. B. hearing aids. C. a chemical material. D. other senses. 5. What is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A. Vivian moves gently in order not to disturb the bees. B. A protective suit is necessary for Vivian. C. Losing hearing brings trouble to Vivian’s work. D. The author is too frightened to follow Vivian’s instructions. 6. What matters most for Vivian to become an excellent beekeeper? A. Her knowledge on weather conditions. B. Her remarkable honey production. C. Her natural beekeeping techniques. D. Her ability of dealing with daily uncertainties. 7. What is Vivian like? A. Deaf and depressed. B. Optimistic and skilled. C. Creative and brave. D. Heartbroken but determined. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者访问达山田蜜蜂农场时与养蜂人薇薇安的互动和交流。通过作者的观察和薇薇安的自述，展现了薇薇安的个人经历、工作方式和对待养蜂的独特态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working.”（薇薇安生下来就极度失聪。虽然薇薇安在助听器的帮助下能够听到声音，但她在工作时通常会摘下助听器。）可知，助听器帮助薇薇安听到声音。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Equipped with only her hood（头巾）, hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees.”（薇薇安只带着她的兜帽、蜂箱工具和烟熏器，为了不打扰蜜蜂，她轻轻地移动着。）可知，根据第三段薇薇安轻轻地移动，以免打扰蜜蜂这项陈述是正确的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance.”（也许最重要的是，薇薇安成为一名优秀养蜂人的原因几乎是哲学上的。她的工作与适应有关，处理每天出现的无数变化。雨水太多了吗？太少？花儿什么时候开放？它们能酿出足够的蜜吗？她做出相应的反应，确保不扰乱蜜蜂的节奏和平衡。）可知，薇薇安能够应对日常的不确定性，如天气、花的开花时间和蜂蜜产量等，这种能力对她来说至关重要。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet.”（薇薇安生下来就极度失聪。虽然薇薇安在助听器的帮助下能够听到声音，但她在工作时通常会摘下助听器。“声音对我来说不自然，”她解释说。“我就是喜欢这里的平和和安静。）可知，薇薇安对于失聪她是乐观的态度。以及第四段中“Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day.”（也许最重要的是，薇薇安成为一名优秀养蜂人的原因几乎是哲学上的。她的工作与适应有关，处理每天出现的无数变化。）可知，她的养蜂技艺高超。因此，可以推断出薇薇安是一个既乐观又技艺高超的人。故选B项。 C Sometimes it is almost impossible not to feel hopeless and broken,” said the climate scientist Ruth Cerezo-Mota. “After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest.” Instead, Cerezo -Mota expects the world to heat by a catastrophic (灾难性的) 3℃ this century, soaring past the internationally agreed 1.5℃ target and delivering enormous suffering to billions of people. This is her optimistic view, she said. “The breaking point for me was a meeting in Singapore,” said Cerezo-Mota, an expert in climate modelling at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. There, she listened to other experts spell out the connection between rising global temperatures and heatwaves, fires, storms and floods hurting people -not at the end of the century, but today. “That was the time when everything clicked (恍然大悟).” “I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer, we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” She said record-breaking heatwaves led to many deaths in Mexico. “It’s very frustrating because many of these things could have been avoided. And it’s just silly to think: Well, I don’t care if Mexico gets destroyed? We have seen these extreme events happening everywhere. There is not a safe place for anyone. “I think 3℃ is being hopeful and conservative (保守的). 1.5℃ is already bad, but I don’t think there is any way we are going to stick to that. There is not any clear sign from any government that we are actually going to stay under 1.5℃ .” Cerezo-Mota is far from alone in her fear. A survey of hundreds of the world’s climate experts has found that: ●77% of interviewees believe global temperatures will reach at least 2.5℃ above pre -industrial levels, a disastrous level. ● Almost half-42% —think it will be more than 3℃ ●Only 6% think the 1.5℃ limit will be achieved. 8. The flooding, fires and droughts of the past three years worldwide is connected with __________. A. climate change B. heatwaves C. high temperature D. extreme events 9. What does the underlined word “soaring past” in Paragraph2 probably mean? A. except for B. by accident C. on the spot D. far beyond 10. What is Cerezo-Mot’s attitude towards the increase in global temperatures? A. Subjective B. Concerned C. Indifferent D. Grateful 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. What led to the increase in global temperatures? B. Why is Ruth Cerezo-Mota in despair? C. What did a survey of the world’s climate experts find? D. What caused deaths in Mexico? 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过采访气候科学家Ruth Cerezo-Mota，报道了她对全球气候变化现状的深切担忧和个人情感体验，同时引用了具体的气候变化影响实例和数据调查结果，科普了全球变暖的严峻形势及其潜在后果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest. (过去三年，全球范围内的洪水、火灾和干旱都与气候变化有关，在我的国家墨西哥奥蒂斯飓风肆虐之后，我真的认为政府已经准备好倾听科学，为人民的最佳利益采取行动)”可知，Ruth Cerezo-Mota明确指出这些灾害与气候变化相关联。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Instead, Cerezo -Mota expects the world to heat by a catastrophic (灾难性的) 3℃ this century (相反，Cerezo-Mota预计本世纪全球气温将达到灾难性的3摄氏度)”和“the internationally agreed 1.5℃ target and delivering enormous suffering to billions of people (国际商定的1.5摄氏度目标，给数十亿人带来巨大痛苦)”可知，全球气温上升将会远远超过国际间商定的1.5℃目标，达到灾难性的3℃，划线词的含义为“远远超出”。A. except for除了；B. by accident意外；C. on the spot当场；D. far beyond远远超出。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段““I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” (“我很沮丧，”她说。“那是我生命中非常黑暗的时刻。我什么都做不了，只能生存下去。”)”、第四段“Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” (Cerezo-Mota恢复过来继续她的工作：“我们一直在做，因为我们必须这样做，所以有权有势的人不能说他们不知道。我们知道我们在说什么。他们可以说他们不在乎，但不能说他们不知道。”)”、第五段“In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer, we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” (在塞雷佐-莫塔居住的Yucatán半岛上的姆萨里达，气温持续上升。“去年夏天，最高气温约为47摄氏度。最糟糕的是，即使在晚上，气温也高达38℃，比你的体温还要高。它不会给你的身体一分钟的时间来恢复。”)”可知，Cerezo-Mota在文中表达了对政府未能采取有效行动的失望，以及对全球气温上升可能导致的巨大苦难的忧虑，因此她对全球气温上升的态度是担忧的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest. (过去三年，全球范围内的洪水、火灾和干旱都与气候变化有关，在我的国家墨西哥奥蒂斯飓风肆虐之后，我真的认为政府已经准备好倾听科学，为人民的最佳利益采取行动)”、第三段““I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” (“我很沮丧，”她说。“那是我生命中非常黑暗的时刻。我什么都做不了，只能生存下去。”)”和第四段“Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” (Cerezo-Mota恢复过来继续她的工作：“我们一直在做，因为我们必须这样做，所以有权有势的人不能说他们不知道。我们知道我们在说什么。他们可以说他们不在乎，但不能说他们不知道。”)”可知，文章主要围绕气候科学家Ruth Cerezo-Mota对当前气候变化状况的绝望情绪、她的个人经历以及对未来的悲观预测展开，同时也提到了一项关于气候专家看法的调查结果，这些都紧密围绕着Ruth Cerezo-Mota的绝望情绪及其原因。选项B“Why is Ruth Cerezo-Mota in despair? (为什么Ruth Cerezo-Mota绝望了？)”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D Growing evidence shows that dancing can boost brain health and help manage neurocognitive (神经认知的) disorders. So what is it about dance that’s different from other regular exercises? Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知) scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says the complex (复杂的) mental multitasking that dance requires involves various parts of the brain at the same time. Basically, dancing requires more brain power than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises. While scientists are still learning how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, a clearer picture is beginning to appear. Researchers at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany, did MRI scans of older adults who had participated in one of two programs over a six -month period. One group practiced dance and the other did a traditional exercise program with cycling and strength training. While both groups improved their level of physical fitness, the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes. Both white and gray matter typically decline as we get older, making communication in the brain slow. Imagine your brain is a city with loads of roads. The researchers assume the changes brought by dancing contribute to brain plasticity, which is like the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs. In addition to the physical and neurological (神经学的) benefits, dance can also help people accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Dawnia Baynes, 44, developed multiple sclerosis (MS) after her body lose all feeling from the chest down. She recently joined an online dance program for people with MS. Not only has it improved her range of motion, it has also helped her overcome her fear of being judged for how she moves. “To see other people moving is like I’m moving,” she says, “and knowing that I don’t have to be professional and super technical in my dancing makes me comfortable with where I am right now.” 12. What does the mental multitasking involve according to the text? A. A variety of parts of the brain. B. Picturing abstract images. C. Simple repetitive exercises. D. High level of physical fitness. 13. What does the underlined word “plasticity” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Damage. B. Location. C. Flexibility. D. Process. 14 What is the main idea of the Paragraph 5? A. Dancing is a professional exercise. B. Dancing can benefit people physically and neurologically. C. Dancing has improved people’s range of emotion. D Dancing can help people develop greater self-acceptance. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Dance for Better Health B. Take Proper Exercise C. Accept What You are D. Manage Neurocognitive Disorders 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过阐述跳舞对大脑健康的益处，解释了跳舞与其他常规运动的不同之处，并提到了相关的科学研究结果，旨在向读者普及关于跳舞对大脑健康的科学知识和益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says the complex (复杂的) mental multitasking that dance requires involves various parts of the brain at the same time. Basically, dancing requires more brain power than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.（阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院(Albert Einstein College of Medicine)的认知科学家海伦娜·布鲁门(Helena Blumen)说，跳舞需要大脑的多个部分同时参与复杂的多任务处理。基本上，跳舞比简单的重复练习需要更多的脑力。）可知，根据课文，心理多任务处理涉及到大脑的不同部分。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“which is like the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs.”（这就像城市建造新道路、修复旧道路的能力，甚至可以根据道路的使用频率和城市的需求改变交通方向。）以及上文“Imagine your brain is a city with loads of roads.”（想象你的大脑是一座有很多路的城市。）可知，在本段中作者将大脑比作一个有很多道路的城市，并提到跳舞带来的变化有助于大脑的“plasticity”，这个能力就像城市能够基于道路的使用频率的城市需求建设新道路，修复旧道路或改变交通方向。这种能够适应和变化的能力与选项C项“Flexibility(灵活性)”相符。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“In addition to the physical and neurological (神经学的) benefits, dance can also help people accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Dawnia Baynes, 44, developed multiple sclerosis (MS) after her body lose all feeling from the chest down. She recently joined an online dance program for people with MS. Not only has it improved her range of motion, it has also helped her overcome her fear of being judged for how she moves.”（除了对身体和神经系统的好处，舞蹈还可以帮助人们接受他们的身体能做什么和不能做什么。44岁的Dawnia Baynes在胸部以下失去知觉后患上了多发性硬化症。她最近参加了一个针对多发性硬化患者的在线舞蹈课程，这不仅提高了她的活动范围，还帮助她克服了因动作而被评判的恐惧。）可知，该段主要讲的是跳舞可以帮助人们发展更好的自我接纳，帮助人们接受自己的身体能力和局限。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Growing evidence shows that dancing can boost brain health and help manage neurocognitive (神经认知的) disorders. So what is it about dance that’s different from other regular exercises?”（越来越多的证据表明，跳舞可以促进大脑健康，有助于控制神经认知障碍。那么舞蹈和其他常规运动有什么不同呢？）以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了跳舞对大脑健康的好处，并解释了跳舞与其他常规运动的不同之处。文章还提到了相关的科学研究结果，以及跳舞如何帮助人们接受自己的身体和能力。因此，一个合适的标题应该是强调跳舞对健康的益处，选项A项“Dance for Better Health”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 HOW TO OVERCOME A CREATIVE BLOCK I’m sitting at my desk, staring at a blank document, hoping my fingers will start typing and a brilliant story will appear on my screen. Even though I feel fortunate to usually be full of ideas, I still face creative blocks times — when I feel uninspired. _____16_____. Different emotions may lead to creative blocks. One is the so-called “inner critic”, a voice we all have within when we are feeling anxious. There’s no room for mistakes when this is in charge, so we end up feeling frozen. ____17____. As a way of people-pleasing, and avoiding conflict or a negative reaction from other people, it can produce negative self-talk. If we feel insecure, we may not feel safe to express ourselves through art or craft. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to breakthrough these blocks. Working with our inner critic We work with our inner critic by teaching it more compassionate (有同情心的) ways of speaking to us. ____18____. The best way to do this is to imagine whether you would say the same things you say about yourself to a love done. It’s unlikely that you’d say: “You’re not good enough, what a failure!” Then we can think of a kinder response such as: “You’ve learned so much from this, what do you think you’ll do differently next time you have ago?” _____19_____ We can try other creative and mindful activities to help reduce anxiety, and boost yourself-esteem (自尊). It could be singing along to your favourite music, doing some weeding, going out for a walk in nature, taking photographs on a lunchtime stroll, or having interesting conversations with friends. Then you’ll feel ready to get your creativity on the go again. Next time you’re feeling a creative block, remind yourself that it’s OK to just get something written, or painted, or crafted and that you don’t need to share it with anyone. It’s all about making a start. _____20_____. A Filling your creativity cup B. Talking to someone you trust C. We’d better be mindful of our loved ones D. Perfectionism maybe another contributor E. Creativity is like a muscle and gets easier once you get doing F. Such a problem can be solved by understanding the causes of them G. We must identify its comments as something separate from ourselves 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了如何处理创造性障碍的情况，并给出了具体的建议和方法来克服这种障碍。 【16题详解】 根据空后“Different emotions may lead to creative blocks. One is the so-called “inner critic”, a voice we all have within when we are feeling anxious. There’s no room for mistakes when this is in charge, so we end up feeling frozen.(不同的情绪可能导致创造性的障碍。一种是所谓的“内心批评”，当我们感到焦虑时，我们都会发出这样的声音。当一切都在掌控之中的时候，就没有犯错的余地了，所以我们最终会感觉僵住了。)”可知，下文提出了了解创造性障碍的起因。选项F“Such a problem can be solved by understanding the causes of them(这样的问题可以通过了解其原因来解决)”与下文内容一致，指出了解了创造性障碍的原因就可以解决创造性障碍，且Such a problem指代上文提到的问题。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据空后内容“As a way of people-pleasing, and avoiding conflict or a negative reaction from other people, it can produce negative self-talk. If we feel insecure, we may not feel safe to express ourselves through art or craft. (作为一种取悦他人、避免冲突或他人消极反应的方式，它会产生消极的自言自语。如果我们感到不安全，我们可能不会觉得通过艺术或工艺来表达自己是安全的。)”可知，下文解释了另一种产生创造性障碍的原因。选项D“Perfectionism maybe another contributor(完美主义可能是另一个因素)”与下文内容一致，指的是完美主义也会让我们产生创造性障碍。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据空前“We work with our inner critic by teaching it more compassionate(有同情心的) ways of speaking to us.(我们与内心的批评者一起工作，教它更富有同情心的方式与我们说话。)”可知，空前建议我们与内心的批评者一起工作；而空后的“The best way to do this is to imagine whether you would say the same things you say about yourself to a love done.(做到这一点的最好方法是想象一下，你是否会对自己所爱的人说同样的话。)”可推测，空处指的是如何和内心的批评者相处。选项G“We must identify its comments as something separate from ourselves(我们必须把它的评论看作与我们自己无关的东西)”与上下文内容一致，建议我们将它的评论视为与我们自身分离的东西。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“We can try other creative and mindful activities to help reduce anxiety, and boost yourself-esteem(自尊). It could be singing along to your favourite music, doing some weeding, going out for a walk in nature, taking photographs on a lunchtime stroll, or having interesting conversations with friends. Then you’ll feel ready to get your creativity on the go again.(我们可以尝试其他创造性和正念的活动来帮助减少焦虑，提高你的自尊。它可以是跟着你最喜欢的音乐唱歌，做一些除草，到大自然中散步，在午餐时间散步时拍照，或者和朋友进行有趣的交谈。然后你会觉得自己又准备好让自己的创造力发挥起来了。)”可知，本段提供了一个解决创造性阻塞和焦虑的具体方法，即通过参与其他有创造性和专注性的活动激发创造力。选项A“Filling your creativity cup(装满你的创造力杯)”指的正是通过参与其他有创造性和专注性的活动来填充创造力的杯子，与本段内容相符。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文内容“Next time you’re feeling a creative block, remind yourself that it’s OK to just get something written, or painted, or crafted and that you don’t need to share it with anyone. It’s all about making a start.(下次当你觉得创意受阻时，提醒自己写点东西、画点东西、做点东西也没关系，你不需要和任何人分享。一切都是为了开始。)”可知，当我们创意受阻时，我们可以做点事情，都是为了开始。选项E“Creativity is like a muscle and gets easier once you get doing(创造力就像肌肉，一旦你开始行动，它就会变得更容易)” 描述了创造力的性质，即一旦开始，它会变得更加容易，这与“开始”的概念直接相关，强调了行动的重要性。故选E。 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 和 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an elementary teacher, what I had experienced lately touched me a lot.

The thought made her want to turn her bicycle around and head home, but she didn’t. She kept riding along the river toward Mr Kovar’s house for her swimming lesson. Eva’s town had no public pools. The university had a pool, but it was only for swim teams. Eva had seen the pool when her brothers had been on the school swim team, and she is eager to swim in its blue water. But now, Eva and the other students had to learn to swim by lying on a piece of wood fixed on a sawhorse (锯木架). The sawhorse looked like a goat. After Eva reached Mr Kovar’s house, he began his class. “Tell me the basic swimming way I have aught you!” Mr Kovar said. “Lie on my front; swing one arm over my head, and then the other arm. Meanwhile, kick the water,” Eva replied. Mr Kovar said, “OK. Now, practice. One hundred strokes (划水)!” Eva climbed onto the sawhorse and lay on her stomach but there was no water around. Mr Kovar walked around Eva as she practiced her strokes. “Fingers together,” he said and tapped her hand. Next he tapped her head, saying, “Breathe only when you turn your head.” Finding Mr Kovar often looked unsatisfied, Eva became nervous. “Thirty-seven, thirty-eight,” Mr Kovar said, counting her strokes. Week after week, Mr Kovar counted and tapped. Each week, Eva tried to break her record for fewest taps. One day, Mr Kovar said, “You’re ready to swim in the water.” “The university pool?” Eva asked happily. Mr Kovar said, “You cannot swim there unless you’re on a team. You cannot be on a team unless you pass my class. I cannot pass you until I see you swim in the water. You must first swim in the river.” “Is it safe?” Eva asked. The river was cold and muddy. “It’s safe if you’re a good swimmer,” said Mr Kovar. The next day Eva and her mother met Mr Kovar at the river. 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。 When Mr Kovar gave the signal, Eva rushed into the brown water. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Eva’s excellent swimming, Mr Kovar asked her to swim back to the bank. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Mr Kovar gave the signal, Eva rushed into the brown water. The coldness of the river sent a shiver down her spine, but she focused on the swimming techniques Mr Kovar had taught her. With each stroke, she felt more confident and powerful. As she reached the middle of the river, Eva realized that she was actually enjoying herself. The muddy water didn’t bother her as much as she thought it would, and she felt proud of her progress. Seeing Eva’s excellent swimming, Mr Kovar asked her to swim back to the bank. Eva’s mother cheered her on from the shore, and she pushed herself to swim back even faster than before. When she reached the bank, Mr Kovar had a proud smile on his face. “You did it, Eva. You’re ready for the university pool,” he said. Eva couldn’t believe it. All the hard work and determination had paid off. She thanked Mr Kovar and her mother for their support, feeling excited for the new opportunities that lay ahead. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公伊娃住在一个没有公共游泳池的小镇，她跟着科瓦尔先生学游泳，科瓦尔先生在一个临时搭建的锯木架上教她游泳。尽管一开始感到紧张，但伊娃努力练习，最终获得了在河里游泳的信心。对她的进步印象深刻，科瓦尔先生宣布她可以准备在大学游泳池游泳，这标志着伊娃在成为一名熟练游泳运动员的旅程中取得了重大成就。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当科瓦尔先生发出信号时，伊娃跳进了棕色的水里。”可知，第一段可描写伊娃在河水里游泳的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到伊娃游泳游得很好，科瓦尔先生让她游回岸边。”可知，第二段可描写伊娃的表现征服了科瓦尔先生，最终获得了去大学泳池游泳的机会。 2.续写线索：伊娃跳进河里——专注于科瓦尔教她的游泳技巧——为自己的进步感到自豪——科瓦先生让她游回岸边——表现征服了科瓦尔先生——感觉感激和兴奋 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focused on/ concentrated on ②意识到：realized/ was aware of ③使困扰，麻烦：bother/ trouble 情绪类 ①决心：determination/ resolution ②兴奋的：excited/ thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] As she reached the middle of the river, Eva realized that she was actually enjoying herself.（运用了As引导的时间状语从句以及从属连词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] She thanked Mr Kovar and her mother for their support, feeling excited for the new opportunities that lay ahead.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年高一下学期期末试卷 英语 试卷满分:150分 考试时间:120分钟 注意事项: 1.答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用2B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） 第一节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

I hear her chatting with the bees, their soft hum (嗡嗡声) filling the air between words of encouragement and negotiation (商量). Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet. When I’m with the bees, I don’t need to hear. I can focus better when I’m not constantly disturbed.” Equipped with only her hood (头巾), hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees. I’m overdressed, having borrowed a full protective suit for the occasion. She instructs me to take off the gloves I brought and tells me where to stand so as to avoid stressing out the bees. Vivian’s gentle, careful style makes me feel at ease around her insects. The more time we spend together, the more I come to appreciate Vivian’s passion (热情) for bees, as well as the ways that being hard of hearing have influenced her unique approach to the beekeeping. In her practice, she emphasizes natural beekeeping techniques that employ minimal chemical interventions (干扰). And she’s able to get all the information she needs to tend to the hives by relying on her other senses. Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance. “There is a spiritual side to beekeeping,” she said. “You can’t fully control them, like with anything in nature, really. Some years you get a great honey season. Some years are horrible and you lose 50 percent of your hive. There’s a lot of heartbreak but a lot of joy in it, too, just working outside with these creatures—a living superorganism (个体).” 4. What assists Vivian to hear? A. a hive box. B. hearing aids. C. a chemical material. D. other senses. 5. What is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A. Vivian moves gently in order not to disturb the bees. B. A protective suit is necessary for Vivian. C. Losing hearing brings trouble to Vivian’s work. D. The author is too frightened to follow Vivian’s instructions. 6. What matters most for Vivian to become an excellent beekeeper? A. Her knowledge on weather conditions. B. Her remarkable honey production. C. Her natural beekeeping techniques. D. Her ability of dealing with daily uncertainties. 7. What is Vivian like? A. Deaf and depressed. B. Optimistic and skilled. C. Creative and brave. D. Heartbroken but determined. C Sometimes it is almost impossible not to feel hopeless and broken,” said the climate scientist Ruth Cerezo-Mota. “After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest.” Instead, Cerezo -Mota expects the world to heat by a catastrophic (灾难性的) 3℃ this century, soaring past the internationally agreed 1.5℃ target and delivering enormous suffering to billions of people. This is her optimistic view, she said. “The breaking point for me was a meeting in Singapore,” said Cerezo-Mota, an expert in climate modelling at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. There, she listened to other experts spell out the connection between rising global temperatures and heatwaves, fires, storms and floods hurting people -not at the end of the century, but today. “That was the time when everything clicked (恍然大悟).” “I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer, we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” She said record-breaking heatwaves led to many deaths in Mexico. “It’s very frustrating because many of these things could have been avoided. And it’s just silly to think: Well, I don’t care if Mexico gets destroyed? We have seen these extreme events happening everywhere. There is not a safe place for anyone. “I think 3℃ is being hopeful and conservative (保守的). 1.5℃ is already bad, but I don’t think there is any way we are going to stick to that. There is not any clear sign from any government that we are actually going to stay under 1.5℃ .” Cerezo-Mota is far from alone in her fear. A survey of hundreds of the world’s climate experts has found that: ●77% of interviewees believe global temperatures will reach at least 2.5℃ above pre -industrial levels, a disastrous level. ● Almost half-42% —think it will be more than 3℃ . ●Only 6% think the 1.5℃ limit will be achieved. 8. The flooding, fires and droughts of the past three years worldwide is connected with __________. A. climate change B. heatwaves C. high temperature D. extreme events 9. What does the underlined word “soaring past” in Paragraph2 probably mean? A. except for B. by accident C. on the spot D. far beyond 10. What is Cerezo-Mot’s attitude towards the increase in global temperatures? A. Subjective B. Concerned C. Indifferent D. Grateful 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. What led to the increase in global temperatures? B. Why is Ruth Cerezo-Mota in despair? C. What did a survey of the world’s climate experts find? D. What caused deaths in Mexico? D Growing evidence shows that dancing can boost brain health and help manage neurocognitive (神经认知的) disorders. So what is it about dance that’s different from other regular exercises? Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says the complex (复杂的) mental multitasking that dance requires involves various parts of the brain at the same time. Basically, dancing requires more brain power than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises. While scientists are still learning how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, a clearer picture is beginning to appear. Researchers at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany, did MRI scans of older adults who had participated in one of two programs over a six -month period. One group practiced dance and the other did a traditional exercise program with cycling and strength training. While both groups improved their level of physical fitness, the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes. Both white and gray matter typically decline as we get older, making communication in the brain slow. Imagine your brain is a city with loads of roads. The researchers assume the changes brought by dancing contribute to brain plasticity, which is like the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs. In addition to the physical and neurological (神经学的) benefits, dance can also help people accept what their bodies can and can’t do. Dawnia Baynes, 44, developed multiple sclerosis (MS) after her body lose all feeling from the chest down. She recently joined an online dance program for people with MS. Not only has it improved her range of motion, it has also helped her overcome her fear of being judged for how she moves. “To see other people moving is like I’m moving,” she says, “and knowing that I don’t have to be professional and super technical in my dancing makes me comfortable with where I am right now.” 12. What does the mental multitasking involve according to the text? A. A variety of parts of the brain. B. Picturing abstract images. C. Simple repetitive exercises. D. High level of physical fitness. 13. What does the underlined word “plasticity” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Damage. B. Location. C. Flexibility. D. Process. 14. What is the main idea of the Paragraph 5? A. Dancing is a professional exercise. B. Dancing can benefit people physically and neurologically. C. Dancing has improved people’s range of emotion. D. Dancing can help people develop greater self-acceptance. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Dance for Better Health B. Take Proper Exercise C. Accept What You are D.

Even though I feel fortunate to usually be full of ideas, I still face creative blocks times — when I feel uninspired. _____16_____. Different emotions may lead to creative blocks. One is the so-called “inner critic”, a voice we all have within when we are feeling anxious. There’s no room for mistakes when this is in charge, so we end up feeling frozen. ____17____. As a way of people-pleasing, and avoiding conflict or a negative reaction from other people, it can produce negative self-talk. If we feel insecure, we may not feel safe to express ourselves through art or craft. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to breakthrough these blocks. Working with our inner critic We work with our inner critic by teaching it more compassionate (有同情心的) ways of speaking to us. ____18____. The best way to do this is to imagine whether you would say the same things you say about yourself to a love done. It’s unlikely that you’d say: “You’re not good enough, what a failure!” Then we can think of a kinder response such as: “You’ve learned so much from this, what do you think you’ll do differently next time you have ago?” _____19_____ We can try other creative and mindful activities to help reduce anxiety, and boost yourself-esteem (自尊). It could be singing along to your favourite music, doing some weeding, going out for a walk in nature, taking photographs on a lunchtime stroll, or having interesting conversations with friends. Then you’ll feel ready to get your creativity on the go again. Next time you’re feeling a creative block, remind yourself that it’s OK to just get something written, or painted, or crafted and that you don’t need to share it with anyone. It’s all about making a start. _____20_____. A. Filling your creativity cup B. Talking to someone you trust C We’d better be mindful of our loved ones D. Perfectionism maybe another contributor E. Creativity is like a muscle and gets easier once you get doing F. Such a problem can be solved by understanding the causes of them G. We must identify its comments as something separate from ourselves 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 和 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an elementary teacher, what I had experienced lately touched me a lot.

The thought made her want to turn her bicycle around and head home, but she didn’t. She kept riding along the river toward Mr Kovar’s house for her swimming lesson. Eva’s town had no public pools. The university had a pool, but it was only for swim teams. Eva had seen the pool when her brothers had been on the school swim team, and she is eager to swim in its blue water. But now, Eva and the other students had to learn to swim by lying on a piece of wood fixed on a sawhorse (锯木架). The sawhorse looked like a goat. After Eva reached Mr Kovar’s house, he began his class. “Tell me the basic swimming way I have aught you!” Mr Kovar said. “Lie on my front; swing one arm over my head, and then the other arm. Meanwhile, kick the water,” Eva replied. Mr Kovar said, “OK. Now, practice. One hundred strokes (划水)!” Eva climbed onto the sawhorse and lay on her stomach but there was no water around. Mr Kovar walked around Eva as she practiced her strokes. “Fingers together,” he said and tapped her hand. Next he tapped her head, saying, “Breathe only when you turn your head.” Finding Mr Kovar often looked unsatisfied, Eva became nervous. “Thirty-seven, thirty-eight,” Mr Kovar said, counting her strokes. Week after week, Mr Kovar counted and tapped. Each week, Eva tried to break her record for fewest taps. One day, Mr Kovar said, “You’re ready to swim in the water.” “The university pool?” Eva asked happily. Mr Kovar said, “You cannot swim there unless you’re on a team. You cannot be on a team unless you pass my class. I cannot pass you until I see you swim in the water. You must first swim in the river.” “Is it safe?” Eva asked. The river was cold and muddy. “It’s safe if you’re a good swimmer,” said Mr Kovar. The next day Eva and her mother met Mr Kovar at the river. 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。 When Mr Kovar gave the signal, Eva rushed into the brown water. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Eva’s excellent swimming, Mr Kovar asked her to swim back to the bank. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
