Here are some wonderful sporting events for travelers from all over the world. Australian Open (January) The Australian Open is perhaps one of the country’s most prized events and biggest summer parties. Hosted in January every year, this two-week tennis event lights up the city and brings the very best tennis superstars to Melbourne along with thousands of fans and a host of world-class singers. World Surfing Championships (March to May) While summer brings warmer waters, Australia’s autumn comes with the World Surfing Championships, Across the men’s and women’s tournaments (锦标赛), fans can see their favourite players trying their best across a series of events in the surfing capital of Australia, the Gold Coast. Uluru Camel Cup (May) If you’re looking for a special Australian event, don’t miss the Uluru Camel Cup. It’s all about a camels’ race to find the fastest camel in Australia. There are several activities that take place over the weekend with delicious food, live music and entertainment. You also have a chance to bet on your favourite camel. Melbourne Cup (November) The Melbourne Cup is the country’s most famous horse race, which is called “The Race That Stops A Nation”. It’s not all about the racing however, with fashion shows, music, and the best selections of food. This one-day event has become such a big part of Australian culture that it is now an official public holiday. 21. Which event will tennis fans be interested in? A. Australian Open. B. Melbourne Cup. C. Uluru Camel Cup. D. World Surfing Championships. 22. In which month can we enjoy two different sporting events? A. January. B. March. C. May. D. November. 23. What’s special about Melbourne Cup? A. It provides food. B. It is a public holiday. C. It lasts for a weekend. D. It has live performances. B At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises at Southside Cultural Center, in Reno. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King. But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their destiny (命运) . If they are determined, they can do anything they want.” Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means “miracle” in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she’d been spotted by an acting coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. “There was something about being onstage,” Nasya says. “It made my spirit come alive.” She decided that she was going to be an actor. However, her enthusiasm didn’t sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased (嘲) her, “You’re a shrimp. You’re not even pretty.” Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school, Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play. The production was a hit. The kids took several curtain calls. Donations to the shelter rolled in. Nasya reminds the kids of something she knows with every part of her spirit to be true: “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 24. What was special about the play The Lion King? A. It was staged at the local shelter. B. It was starred by Nasya Mancini. C. It was performed by homeless kids. D. It was funded by the mayor of Reno. 25. Which of the following best describes Nasya? A. Creative and modest. B. Talented and caring. C. Determined and humorous. D. Confident and demanding. 26. Why did Nasya decide to put on the play? A. To collect public donations. B. To build the kids’ confidence. C. To win a local theater competition. D. To complete her community service. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Volunteers Make a Difference. B. Rising from Shelter to Stage. C. The Lion King Is Roaring Back. D. Sharing Her Dream with Homeless Teens. C Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 28. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 29. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 30. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. D A wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron(鹭). He’d waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no luck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer’s delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn’t seen it, but without even trying, he’d photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for. This is an example of serendipity. Cases of serendipity can be found in numerous fields, such as science. Back in the 1800s, a man called Wellswas at a demonstration (演示) of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his leg rather badly. To everyone’s surprise, the man reported that he couldn’t feel any pain. Wells hadn’t been looking for it, but he’d made a medical discovery — certain gases reduce and can even almost eradicate pain. Had Wells not been there that night, anesthesia (麻醉) might have taken longer to be discovered. Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. Jane, a friend of mine,was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local café. As she was sipping her coffee, she heard two people talking behind her. A man was telling a story that sounded so unbelievable that she knew it had to be true. She asked the people if she could interview them for the article. They agreed and her article turned out to be one of the top trending articles of the week. 32. The word “serendipity” in paragraph 1 means the fact of __________. A. observing rare birds in person B. achieving important aims in time C. finding valuable things by chance D. taking interesting photos by mistake 33. What surprised Wells at the demonstration? A. The gas’s hidden damage. B. The gas’s pain-killing effect. C. The patient’s scientific discovery. D. The patient’s balance-losing moment. 34. Why did Jane go to the café? A. To take a break. B. To meet a friend. C. To write an article. D. To do an interview. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain a concept. B. To promote a culture. C. To introduce a person. D. To recommend a method. 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。 How to grow tomatoes? Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere.

So it was with Mama’s soup pot. Mama’s soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited (继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom’s flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter? You sick?” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南宁二中2023-2024学年度下学期高一期末考试 英语 （时间120分钟 共150分） 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。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?

My favorite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand. My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That’s the time I started writing, just for myself, and I’ve been writing ever since. I enjoy writing fantastic stories. I think they’re like the old fairy tales, and can teach you important things. But I never write horror stories. I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary, ducks, cats, goats, hens and lots of rabbits.

Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King. But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their destiny (命运) . If they are determined, they can do anything they want.” Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means “miracle” in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she’d been spotted by an acting coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. “There was something about being onstage,” Nasya says. “It made my spirit come alive.” She decided that she was going to be an actor. However, her enthusiasm didn’t sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased (嘲) her, “You’re a shrimp. You’re not even pretty.” Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school, Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play. The production was a hit. The kids took several curtain calls. Donations to the shelter rolled in. Nasya reminds the kids of something she knows with every part of her spirit to be true: “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 24. What was special about the play The Lion King? A. It was staged at the local shelter. B. It was starred by Nasya Mancini. C. It was performed by homeless kids. D. It was funded by the mayor of Reno. 25. Which of the following best describes Nasya? A. Creative and modest. B. Talented and caring. C. Determined and humorous. D. Confident and demanding. 26. Why did Nasya decide to put on the play? A. To collect public donations. B. To build the kids’ confidence. C. To win a local theater competition. D. To complete her community service. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Volunteers Make a Difference. B. Rising from Shelter to Stage. C. The Lion King Is Roaring Back. D. Sharing Her Dream with Homeless Teens. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini虽然是早产儿，但是她意志力坚强，决心成为一名演员，最终她的梦想实现了，她还帮助无家可归的儿童在舞台上实现他们的梦想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno.(演员阵容由居住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的儿童组成。)”可知，《狮子王》这部剧的特别之处在于它是由无家可归的孩子表演的。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two.(纳西娅虽然个子很小，但很快就证明了她的才华和她的生存意志一样强大。她两岁开始跳舞。)”可知，Nasya很有才华；根据倒数第二段中“She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give.(她还通过向庇护所的孩子们教授戏剧来提供社区服务。纳西娅希望庇护所的孩子们能够发现表演可以带来的自信。)”可知，Nasya很关心他人，故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play.(纳西娅希望庇护所的孩子们能够发现表演可以带来的自信。她决定，最好的办法就是上演一出大戏。)”可知，Nasya决定上演这部剧是为了建立孩子的信心。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King.(数十位演员出演了《狮子王》第一部。)”，第二段中“The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini.(演员阵容由居住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的儿童组成。感谢志愿表演教练纳西娅·曼奇尼 (Nasya Mancini) 的帮助，孩子们有机会在舞台上实现自己的梦想。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini虽然是早产儿，但是她意志力坚强，决心成为一名演员，最终她的梦想实现了，她还帮助无家可归的儿童在舞台上实现他们的梦想。D项“与无家可归的青少年分享她的梦想。”适合作文章标题，故选D。 C Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 28. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 29. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 30. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人们对保护遗产的看法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living.(我小时候所熟悉的社区，到处都是美丽的老建筑，现在大部分都消失了，取而代之的是现代化的高层建筑。这是有充分理由的。居民们想要现代生活的一切便利)”可知，是人们对现代舒适的渴望驱使人们用新建筑取代旧建筑。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The renovation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world.(对历史街区的改造和保护可以成为一个经济引擎，吸引游客和小企业来到该地区。例如，在迪拜，历史悠久的Al bastikiya区每年吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客)”可知，举Al bastikiya的例子表明：文物保护带来经济效益。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built.(而且，尽管人们经常声称老建筑的环境足迹比新建筑更大，因为它们不是很节能，但建筑师和环境专家坚持认为，最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑)”可推知，翻新旧建筑减少了对环境的影响。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered.(历史保护是一种提供多种可能性的选择；相反，拆迁是不可逆转的。一旦这些宝藏失去，它们就永远失去了，这是我们遗产中一个永远无法恢复的重要环节)”可推知，作者对历史保护的态度是积极的和支持的。故选A项。 D A wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron(鹭). He’d waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no luck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer’s delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn’t seen it, but without even trying, he’d photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for. This is an example of serendipity. Cases of serendipity can be found in numerous fields, such as science. Back in the 1800s, a man called Wellswas at a demonstration (演示) of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his leg rather badly. To everyone’s surprise, the man reported that he couldn’t feel any pain. Wells hadn’t been looking for it, but he’d made a medical discovery — certain gases reduce and can even almost eradicate pain. Had Wells not been there that night, anesthesia (麻醉) might have taken longer to be discovered. Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. Jane, a friend of mine,was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local café. As she was sipping her coffee, she heard two people talking behind her. A man was telling a story that sounded so unbelievable that she knew it had to be true. She asked the people if she could interview them for the article. They agreed and her article turned out to be one of the top trending articles of the week. 32. The word “serendipity” in paragraph 1 means the fact of __________. A. observing rare birds in person B. achieving important aims in time C. finding valuable things by chance D. taking interesting photos by mistake 33. What surprised Wells at the demonstration? A. The gas’s hidden damage. B. The gas’s pain-killing effect. C. The patient’s scientific discovery. D. The patient’s balance-losing moment. 34. Why did Jane go to the café? A. To take a break. B. To meet a friend. C. To write an article. D. To do an interview. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain a concept. B. To promote a culture. C. To introduce a person. D. To recommend a method. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过三件事来说明生活中会偶然发现有价值的事物的现象。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron(鹭). He’d waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no luck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer’s delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn’t seen it, but without even trying, he’d photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for.(一位野生动物摄影师在等着，希望能拍到一种相对罕见的鸟，一种特殊的苍鹭。他在树林里沮丧地等了几个小时，但一点运气也没有。突然，让摄影师高兴的是，一只苍鹭停在他面前的树枝上。摄影师举起相机拍了下来。摄影师看着这张照片，感到特别高兴。令他惊讶的是，他看到在苍鹭的后面，他的照片还捕捉到了一只非常非常罕见的啄木鸟飞过。他没有看到它，但他甚至没有尝试，他拍到了一只比他瞄准的那只更稀有的鸟)”可知，摄影师本来想拍苍鹭，结果偶然拍到了更稀有的啄木鸟，所以第一段中的“serendipity”一词是指偶然发现有价值的东西。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Back in the 1800s, a man called Wellswas at a demonstration (演示) of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his le g rather badly. To everyone’s surprise, the man reported that he couldn’t feel any pain.(早在19世纪，一个叫威尔斯的人参加了笑气的演示。不出所料，注射完气体后，病人笑了起来。但是他突然摔倒了，伤得很重。令每个人吃惊的是，那个人报告说他感觉不到任何疼痛)”可知，气体的止痛作用让威尔斯感到惊讶。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Jane, a friend of mine, was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local café.(我的一个朋友简试图想出一个文章的想法，但完全卡住了。她很沮丧，决定去当地的一家咖啡馆)”可知，简去咖啡馆是为了休息一下。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This is an example of serendipity.(这是一个意外发现的例子)”以及第三段“Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. (在我们的生活中，我们大多数人可能至少能想到一个意外的例子)”结合文章主要通过三件事来说明生活中会偶然发现有价值的事物的现象。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释一个概念。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。 How to grow tomatoes?

B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。在适当的气候条件下，你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。文章主要介绍了种植西红柿的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere. Before you grow tomatoes, check if your area has the right climatic conditions for this purpose.(在适当的气候条件下，你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。在你种植西红柿之前，检查你所在地区的气候条件是否适合种植西红柿)”以及后文“And if it doesn’t, just give up this idea.(如果不适合，就放弃这个想法)”可知，后文假设了不适合种植西红柿的情况，可知本句是在假设气候条件适合的情况，故C选项“如果适合，找一些土地种植”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据后文“One is to grow them from seed and the other is to grow them from the plants.(一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来的)”可知，种植西红柿有两种方法，一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来。故E选项“你有两种种植西红柿的方法”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Tomatoes don’t grow well in cool conditions.(西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好)”可知，上文提到西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好，可知本句承接上文说明适合西红柿生长的温度环境，G选项中They指代上文Tomatoes。故G选项“它们需要65°F或更高的平均温度才能生长良好”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Tomatoes require areas with full sun and should have enough protection from strong winds as well, that’s more, they require a lot of water; therefore, you had better water your tomato plants regularly.(西红柿需要阳光充足的地方，也应该有足够的保护，以防强风，更重要的是，它们需要大量的水；因此，你最好定期给你的番茄植株浇水)”可知，上文提到了种植西红柿需要阳光充足、足够的保护和大量的水，这些都是种植西红柿需要注意的因素。故F选项“要把西红柿种好，注意所有这些因素”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Check tomato plants daily for any ripe produce. Picking often helps more to grow. Once the end of growing season is coming, it’s helpful to remove any flowers as well.(每天检查番茄植株是否有成熟的果实。采摘往往有助于更多的成长。一旦生长季节结束，也可以把花移走)”可知，上文提到采摘有助于西红柿生长，且提到了把花移走，可见本句承接上文说明这么做的原因：帮助现有的果实生长。故B选项“这样做可以帮助现有的果实生长”符合语境，故选B。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold afternoon, Tina saw a newborn bird in her garden.

Admittedly, the Internet makes it convenient for us to befriend people around the world, which has also broadened our horizons.

So it was with Mama’s soup pot. Mama’s soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited (继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom’s flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter? You sick?” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day Sol came over I was very nervous. Mama and the other family members welcomed him with embraces. Soon after sitting at the heavy, deeply stained table, we were instantly faced with bowls of soup. “Sol,” Mama asked, “you know what this is?” “Soup?” Sol responded. “Not soup,” Mama said emphatically. “It’s minestrone!” She then launched into a long explanation of the power of minestrone: how it cured headaches, colds. And Mama even said the soup would make Sol strong. I was so embarrassed, convinced that this would be the last time I would ever see my friend Sol. But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. His initial hesitation gave way to genuine enjoyment. And as the evening progressed, I saw him relax, his rigid posture melting away in my family’s easy atmosphere. When we were saying our good-byes, Sol confided, “You sure have a great family.” Then he added, “Boy, you are lucky!” Lucky? I wondered. Suddenly, it dawned on me that true wealth wasn’t measured in polished silver or spotless kitchens. It was found in the simple joys of family, laughter, and a steaming bowl of Mama’s minestrone soup. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者的母亲做的意大利浓菜汤能够让经济条件不好的移民家庭不挨饿，但作者觉得一份水汪汪的汤暗示着艰难的时期，有一段时间妈妈的汤锅成了他尴尬的来源。作者在学校交了一个好朋友Sol，他的家虽物质条件优渥，但缺少了作者家中那种由母亲的汤所象征的爱、温暖及随意自在的家庭氛围。Sol想要去作者的家里用餐，但是因为家庭环境的不同，作者并不想他到自己家里来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“索尔来的那天，我非常紧张。”可知，第一段可描写作者描写Sol来作者家里吃饭时，作者家人热情的款待Sol，尤其是作者的妈妈，详细的给他解释了什么意大利浓菜汤。作者因此感到非常尴尬，觉得会失去Sol这个朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是索尔很快吃完了他的碗，又要了一碗。”可知，第二段可描写Sol非常喜欢妈妈的做的意大利浓菜汤，并让作者意识到真正的财富存在于简单的快乐之中，存在于母亲做的意大利浓菜汤里。 2.续写线索：答应索尔来做客——热情款待——介绍意大利浓菜汤——尴尬——索尔喜欢意大利浓菜汤以及作者家的家庭氛围——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①欢迎：welcome/greet ②询问：ask/question/inquire ③开始做某事：launch into/jump into/dive into 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/uneasy ②快乐：enjoyment/delight 【点睛】 【高分句型1】And as the evening progressed, I saw him relax, his rigid posture melting away in my family’s easy atmosphere (使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】 Suddenly, it dawned on me that true wealth wasn’t measured in polished silver or spotless kitchens.(使用了that引导的主语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
