To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below: Visit at Night Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the beautiful reflections(倒影) of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed. Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer. Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You Before entering the Eiffel Tower your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off (触发)the metal detector(金属探测仪), the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection(检查). We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower. Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower If you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great,but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself. 1. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night? A. Because you can stand on the top of the Tower. B. Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully. C. Because you can have a beautiful sight of the city of Paris. D. Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible. 2. What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Stand B. Avoid. C. Control. D. Remember. 3. Why are some people taken away by the officer ? A. Because they didn’t seize the chance. B. Because they lost valuable objects. C. Because they set off the metal detector. D. Because they had a quarrel with the officer. B “I’m sorry,” the bank teller said. “Your check has bounced (拒付).” Her words took a moment to sink in. This year had brought so much pain. A divorce (离婚), losing my house, then the loss of my job right before the holidays… and now the check for my car insurance had bounced! Leaving the bank, I wondered what I would do. My unemployment (失业) checks were delayed, and everything seemed to be piling up. How long could I last without money? How I missed my parents in the faraway Los Angeles, whom I had not seen for five years. December in Michigan meant it was not only dark, but cold and snowy. Despite (尽管) that, I had an urge to take a walk on my favorite trail. Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go. On the trail, I was grateful for sounds of rushing water coming from the little river. They covered my soft sobs while I walked. Tonight, it all felt like too much to bear. Eventually, when my tears dried up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment (公寓) door, I noticed something bulky hanging on the it. Probably another bill, I thought. While I struggled with my boots, I could see a card with my name on it through the clear plastic bag. Reaching in, I took out a very small, white envelope. Inside the envelope was a beautiful card with no name written on it, but it was stuffed with gift cards --- hundreds of dollars of gift cards that could meet my urgent needs! I was in shock and awe. The timing of this amazing anonymous (匿名的) gift, arriving at exactly the right moment, was almost too much to comprehend. Again, I began crying, but now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved. I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow! 4. What happened to the author? A. Something was wrong with her check. B. She had to sell her car for lack of money. C. Her divorce made her house taken away. D. She didn’t succeed if finding a new job. 5. The story may probably take place ________. A. in the early morning B. in the late morning C. in the late afternoon D. in the deep night 6. Who might send the anonymous gift? A. The bank teller B. Her former husband C. Her parents D. Her friend 7. What is the process of the author’s emotion and feeling? A. Angry crazy calm grateful B. Disappointed sad surprised warm C. Disappointed moved surprised grateful D. Crazy sad calm joyful C Toilet paper as we know it today is a relatively modern invention that's only been around for about 150 years. It s natural to wonder what was used before modern toilet paper. Toilet paper in its ancient form dates back to China in at least the 6th century. Although paper itself appeared long before that time. In ancient times, many kinds of materials(材料) were used instead of toilet paper. For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠); grass was used by people living in the grassland. Some other things known to have been used included: fur, leaves, rocks, snow, and so on. Of course, it wasn’t uncommon for people to go to the bathroom in a small river. They might have used a cloth or their hands to clean themselves afterward. For many people, that might have been preferable to the method used by ancient Romans: a sponge(海绵)on a stick kept in saltwater...and shared by everyone using public bathrooms. Luckily for us Joseph Gayetty created the first toilet paper in 1857. His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper. The rolled toilet paper we’re familiar with today appeared in the 1880s. It wasn’t necessarily soft like we’re now used to, though. Paper production methods would often leave splinters(刺)in toilet paper. It wasn’t until 1935 that Northern Tissue said they had made “splinter- free” toilet paper. Other improvements in toilet paper happened over the course of the 20th Century. Larger rolls with softer paper became more popular. Today, take a trip to your local supermarket and you will find many different kinds of toilet paper. For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out! 8. What might decide which material ancient people used after using the bathroom? A. What they did. B. Where they lived. C. How old they were. D. How long they used the bathroom. 9. Why was Gayetty’s Medicated Paper unpopular at first? A. Because the paper had splinters. B. Because the paper couldn’t be shared. C. Because people didn't want to pay for it. D. Because people preferred rolled toilet paper. 10 How does the text mainly develop? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By telling an interesting story. D. By following the order of time. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A great invention--toilet paper B. Why was toilet paper invented? C. Toilet paper vs water: which to choose. D. What did people use before toilet paper? D “It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown (严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK. The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded. Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said ： “Traffic has significantly reduced，and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.” I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools. 12. Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule? A. She is often fined by London police. B. She will lose her job as a school driver. C. She has adapted to the American practice. D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid. 13. What concerned Jason Frost most? A. People’s complaints. B. Students’ health. C. Students’ safety. D. Parents’ inconvenience. 14. What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out? A. Less daily chaos. B. Favor from all people. C. More over-weight children. D. Complaints from neighbors. 15. What is author’s attitude toward the crackdown? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Between school, homework, sports, your after-school job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel like there’s no time for healthy eating. And when you have time, you may simply eat snacks like potato chips._____16_____In fact, if you have a busy schedule, it’s even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going. ___17___For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet. Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important. A few walnuts(核桃) are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework.____18____ Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years, the body needs more nutrients to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs._____19_____Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda.

Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart._____20_____We may find “all natural” on the side of a package but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nutritious. For example, “all natural” juice drinks can be filled with sugar, which means they’ll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition. A. It’s natural to feel hungry at certain times. B. Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be boring. C. But you need to pay attention to what you eat. D. If you’re really feeling hungry, don’t pay no attention to it. E.

I woke up early in the morning and went to run on Mount Gracious with my dog, Bubbles. As I ran up the mountain, with my dog following close behind, I felt energetic and refreshed. Running in a natural environment never failed to make me feel alive. When I reached the top, I drank some water and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise. This scene always took my breath away, no matter how many times I had seen it. Having rested enough, Bubbles and I made our way back down the mountain. As we were running downhill, I saw an unfamiliar path and decided to explore the area. The path was full of rocks. It was not easy to walk. Suddenly, I slipped on a muddy patch, rolling down five meters before I managed to grab hold of an exposed root of a huge tree. I was safe for now. However, I was seriously injured. My knees were badly hurt. My right foot was also dislocated (脱臼). I knew for sure I would be unable to make my way up or down the mountain without help. I called out to Bubbles and he barked loudly from above. It seemed like he understood that I needed help. He looked down at me pitifully before disappearing from sight. As night fell, panic (恐慌) set in and scary thoughts went through my mind. There were many things that I had got to do. I couldn't die! This would not have happened if I had stuck to my usual path. I was losing hope when I heard barking. It was Bubbles. I rubbed my eyes as I struggled to keep awake. But there was silence. Who could it be? Was I hallucinating (产生幻觉)? Then I heard some voices and more barking. Yes. Help was near I knew. I could count on my dog to get help. 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。 Soon, I heard my parents calling my name. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, my parents told me what Bubbles had done to get help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 自贡一中2023-2024学年度下期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 本试卷分试题卷和答题卷两部分。试题卷包括1至10页；答题卷11至12页。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。预计难度系数：0. 65。 【注意事项】 1. 答Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、考生科目涂写在机读卡上。考试结束后，将机读卡和答题卷交回。 2. 每小题选出答案后，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。不能答在试题卷上。 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。考试结束后，将本试卷和答案卡一并交回。 第Ⅰ卷 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?

C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了参观埃菲尔铁塔的几个小贴士。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the ‘City of Light’.”（夜晚登上埃菲尔铁塔，眺望巴黎的街道，你会发现为什么巴黎被称为“光明之城”）可知，作者建议晚上参观埃菲尔铁塔是因为你可以看到巴黎的美丽夜景，故选C。 【2题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website.”可知，通过从埃菲尔铁塔网站在线买票，这样你就不必排着长队在售票口买票了，由此可知画线词词义为“避免”，与avoid同义。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection.”（如果你携带的物品触发了金属探测器，安保人员就会把你带离安检线进行进一步检查）可知，一些人被安保人员带走是因为他们触发了金属探测器，故选C。 B “I’m sorry,” the bank teller said. “Your check has bounced (拒付).” Her words took a moment to sink in. This year had brought so much pain. A divorce (离婚), losing my house, then the loss of my job right before the holidays… and now the check for my car insurance had bounced! Leaving the bank, I wondered what I would do. My unemployment (失业) checks were delayed, and everything seemed to be piling up. How long could I last without money? How I missed my parents in the faraway Los Angeles, whom I had not seen for five years. December in Michigan meant it was not only dark, but cold and snowy. Despite (尽管) that, I had an urge to take a walk on my favorite trail. Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go. On the trail, I was grateful for sounds of rushing water coming from the little river. They covered my soft sobs while I walked. Tonight, it all felt like too much to bear. Eventually, when my tears dried up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment (公寓) door, I noticed something bulky hanging on the it. Probably another bill, I thought. While I struggled with my boots, I could see a card with my name on it through the clear plastic bag. Reaching in, I took out a very small, white envelope. Inside the envelope was a beautiful card with no name written on it, but it was stuffed with gift cards --- hundreds of dollars of gift cards that could meet my urgent needs! I was in shock and awe. The timing of this amazing anonymous (匿名的) gift, arriving at exactly the right moment, was almost too much to comprehend. Again, I began crying, but now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved. I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow! 4. What happened to the author? A. Something was wrong with her check. B. She had to sell her car for lack of money. C. Her divorce made her house taken away. D. She didn’t succeed if finding a new job. 5. The story may probably take place ________. A. in the early morning B. in the late morning C. in the late afternoon D. in the deep night 6. Who might send the anonymous gift? A. The bank teller B. Her former husband C. Her parents D. Her friend 7. What is the process of the author’s emotion and feeling? A. Angry crazy calm grateful B. Disappointed sad surprised warm C. Disappointed moved surprised grateful D. Crazy sad calm joyful 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在生活中接二连三的遭遇挫折，就在快要坚持不下去的时候，父母的关爱让她感受到家的温暖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。在文章第一段句子“Your check has bounced (拒付). (你的支票被拒付了。”中，可以知道作者的支票出了问题。选项A“Something was wrong with her check. 她的支票出问题了。”符合题意，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章句子“Tonight, it all felt like too much to bear. (今晚，这一切都让人难以忍受。)”可知，故事发生在晚上，又根据句子“ Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go. (又冷又黑也意味着很有可能没有其他人出去，所以我决定去。”)可知，在平时这个时间段还是有人会出来散步的，由此可以知道，选项C“in the late afternoon下午晚些时候”符合题意。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。前文作者提到“How I missed my parents in the faraway Los Angeles, whom I had not seen for five years. (我多么想念我在遥远的洛杉矶的父母，我们已经五年没有见面了。)”结合文章最后一句话“I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow!( 我明天要去洛杉矶！)”可以推测，寄给作者礼物的可能是她的父母。故选C项。 7题详解】 细节理解题。作者在一二段提到生活中遇的各种不幸“My unemployment (失业) checks were delayed, and everything seemed to be piling up.( 我的失业支票被推迟了，一切不幸似乎都在堆积。”可以判断作者很“失望”，后来不顾严寒去散步，“They covered my soft sobs while I walked. (我走路时，他们（小河的流水声）遮住了我轻轻的哭泣声。)”可以知道作者很“伤心”，回到家，门上挂着袋子，作者还以是账单，结果里面塞满了礼品卡， “I was in shock and awe.( 我感到震惊和敬畏。)”，最后作者“Again, I began crying, but now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved. (我又开始哭了，但现在是高兴的泪水。我感到如此的爱。)”。这就是作者感情的变化过程。选项B“Disappointed sad surprised warm.失望、伤心、惊喜、温暖”符合题意。故选B项。 【点睛】 阅读能力的考查不但要求理解具体事实细节，也要求理解抽象的含义；既要求理解文章中某句、某段的含义及全文的逻辑关系，又要求根据其含义及逻辑关系进行推理和判断。推理判断属于高层次阅读理解，常见的提问形式常用 infer, imply,suggest, conclude, learn, intend, mean, describe, purpose 等词提问，或提问中含有表示推测的情态动词，如：can, could, might, would 等何其他表示可能性的副词或词组，如probably, most likely 等。本题第三小题就是推理判断题。 C Toilet paper as we know it today is a relatively modern invention that's only been around for about 150 years. It s natural to wonder what was used before modern toilet paper. Toilet paper in its ancient form dates back to China in at least the 6th century. Although paper itself appeared long before that time. In ancient times, many kinds of materials(材料) were used instead of toilet paper. For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠); grass was used by people living in the grassland. Some other things known to have been used included: fur, leaves, rocks, snow, and so on. Of course, it wasn’t uncommon for people to go to the bathroom in a small river. They might have used a cloth or their hands to clean themselves afterward. For many people, that might have been preferable to the method used by ancient Romans: a sponge(海绵)on a stick kept in saltwater...and shared by everyone using public bathrooms. Luckily for us, Joseph Gayetty created the first toilet paper in 1857. His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper. The rolled toilet paper we’re familiar with today appeared in the 1880s. It wasn’t necessarily soft like we’re now used to, though. Paper production methods would often leave splinters(刺)in toilet paper. It wasn’t until 1935 that Northern Tissue said they had made “splinter- free” toilet paper. Other improvements in toilet paper happened over the course of the 20th Century. Larger rolls with softer paper became more popular. Today, take a trip to your local supermarket and you will find many different kinds of toilet paper. For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out! 8. What might decide which material ancient people used after using the bathroom? A. What they did. B. Where they lived. C. How old they were. D. How long they used the bathroom. 9. Why was Gayetty’s Medicated Paper unpopular at first? A. Because the paper had splinters. B. Because the paper couldn’t be shared. C. Because people didn't want to pay for it. D. Because people preferred rolled toilet paper. 10. How does the text mainly develop? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By telling an interesting story. D. By following the order of time. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A great invention--toilet paper B. Why was toilet paper invented? C. Toilet paper vs water: which to choose. D. What did people use before toilet paper? 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章根据时间顺序介绍了厕纸发明前后的情况，并指出这是一项重要的发明。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的 “For example, sand was used by people who settled near the desert(沙漠)； grass was used by people living in the grassland”（ 例如，在沙漠附近定居的人就使用沙子(沙漠）；草被生活在草原上的人们所使用）可知，古人就地取材，解决如厕后的清洁问题，即用什么材料取决于人们生活在哪里。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“His “Gayetty's Medicated Paper” didn’t become popular soon, however, since the public was used to using materials they got for free rather than spending money on toilet paper.”（然而，他的“Gayetty纸”并没有很快流行起来，因为公众习惯于使用免费获得的材料，而不是花钱购买卫生纸）可知，由于人们不习惯花钱买厕纸，所以 Gayetly's Medicated Paper 遭遇冷遇。故选C 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文中依次出现伪 the 6th century, In ancient times, in 1857. in the 1880s. until 1935, the 20th century和Today可知。本文主要按照时间顺序展开。故选D 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了厕纸发明前后的情况，文中最后一段“For such a widely-used, necessary invention, it isn’t given much thought...until it runs out!（对于这样一个广泛使用的、必要的发明，它没有被给予太多的思考……直到它用完！）”指出它是一个被广泛使用的必要发明。由此可知A项：一个伟大的发明——厕纸，最能概括全文内容，故选A。 D “It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown (严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK. The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking” but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded. Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said ： “Traffic has significantly reduced，and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.” I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools. 12. Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule? A. She is often fined by London police. B. She will lose her job as a school driver. C. She has adapted to the American practice. D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid. 13. What concerned Jason Frost most? A. People’s complaints. B. Students’ health. C. Students’ safety. D. Parents’ inconvenience. 14. What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out? A. Less daily chaos. B. Favor from all people. C. More over-weight children. D. Complaints from neighbors. 15. What is author’s attitude toward the crackdown? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了在关于家长开车接送孩子上下学的新的交通政策上，人们提出了不同的观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school.”（一些家长很生气。安吉是一位母亲，她发表了“重拳出击”的评论，她说这种打击“太过分了”。对她六岁的孩子来说，最近的下车点现在离学校有5分钟的路程。）可知，她认为这会给她的孩子带来不便。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”（我宁愿抱怨我们只是稍微给父母带来不便，也不愿听到一个孩子因为什么都没做而受到严重伤害。）可推知，Jason Frost最担心学生的安全问题。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded.”（对在伦敦东部某一特定区域内接送孩子的车辆进行罚款的决定，是市议员们为了使该地区更安全、更少拥挤而做出的长期努力的结果。）可推知，在严厉打击行动实施之后能够减少日常中的混乱。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.（每天，当我送自己的孩子去上学时，我都亲眼目睹这些城里的司机制造的混乱。停车场里挤满了车辆，一列缓慢行驶的汽车在原地打转，许多汽车在空气中弥漫着有害的烟雾。与此同时，围绕超重儿童和日常体育活动的重要性的讨论在学校继续突出。）可推知，作者对这样的严厉打击是支持的。故选A。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Between school, homework, sports, your after-school job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel like there’s no time for healthy eating.

During the Spring Festival, it’s a tradition for families to get together and have a big meal. However, the food customs vary from place to place.

They are sticky rice balls with different fillings. Tangyuan sounds like tuanyuan in Chinese, which means “family reunion”. When you come to Beijing, Beijing Roast Duck is what you can’t miss. The duck is hung and roasted on flames, shaved into slices, dipped in sweet flour sauce, and wrapped in a paper-thin pancake. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you.

I woke up early in the morning and went to run on Mount Gracious with my dog, Bubbles. As I ran up the mountain, with my dog following close behind, I felt energetic and refreshed. Running in a natural environment never failed to make me feel alive. When I reached the top, I drank some water and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise. This scene always took my breath away, no matter how many times I had seen it. Having rested enough, Bubbles and I made our way back down the mountain. As we were running downhill, I saw an unfamiliar path and decided to explore the area. The path was full of rocks. It was not easy to walk. Suddenly, I slipped on a muddy patch, rolling down five meters before I managed to grab hold of an exposed root of a huge tree. I was safe for now. However, I was seriously injured. My knees were badly hurt. My right foot was also dislocated (脱臼). I knew for sure I would be unable to make my way up or down the mountain without help. I called out to Bubbles and he barked loudly from above. It seemed like he understood that I needed help. He looked down at me pitifully before disappearing from sight. As night fell, panic (恐慌) set in and scary thoughts went through my mind. There were many things that I had got to do. I couldn't die! This would not have happened if I had stuck to my usual path. I was losing hope when I heard barking. It was Bubbles. I rubbed my eyes as I struggled to keep awake. But there was silence. Who could it be? Was I hallucinating (产生幻觉)? Then I heard some voices and more barking. Yes. Help was near, I knew. I could count on my dog to get help. 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。 Soon, I heard my parents calling my name. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, my parents told me what Bubbles had done to get help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Soon, I heard my parents calling my name. So I began calling back. A moment later, I saw the light of a flashlight. Following my voice and with Bubbles leading the way, my parents finally found me. They looked nervous and worried. After learning I was badly hurt, my parents quickly climbed down to me. They examined my cuts and my foot and decided that I had better not walk. Then, my father carried me on his back, down the mountain and to the nearest clinic, where a doctor was waiting for us. Later, my parents told me what Bubbles had done to get help. He quickly ran home and waited until my parents came home from work. He barked loudly at my parents. They were confused and thought the dog might be hungry at first. So they gave Bubbles some food, but he didn't stop harking. Suddenly, they realized I hadn't come back home with Bubbles as usual and that I must have been in trouble. At that moment, Bubbles ran out and my parents followed him closely. Bubbles remembered the way and led my parents to the spot. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在早上带小狗泡泡去山上跑步，下山时决定去探索一条陌生的道路，途中滑倒，受了重伤，无法行动。泡泡觉察到作者的情况，回家求救。夜幕降临，恐慌中，作者听到了父母的呼唤声，原来泡泡回家等到作者的父母下班回家，冲着作者的父母狂叫，最终提醒了两人，父母跟着泡泡来解救作者，并把他背下山找了医生治疗。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，我听到父母在叫我的名字。”可知，第一段可描写作者知道父母来找他了，大声回应。父母发现作者伤得很严重，父亲背作者下山，去找医生治疗。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来，我的父母告诉我泡泡做了什么来获得帮助。”可知，第二段可描写父母解释泡泡是如何令他们意识到作者出意外了，并跟着泡泡找过来的。 2.续写线索：作者听见呼唤，回应父母——父母找到作者检查伤势——伤势很重，父亲背作者下山去找医生——告诉作者泡泡是如何救助的 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see / catch sight of ②.检查：examine / check ③.意识到：realize / be aware of 情绪类 ①.发愁的：worried / anxious ②.困惑的：confused / puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1].
