But talking with a stranger was very difficult for me. I stayed like this for a long time. But conditions seemed to change after I attended college. One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me. He said, “No one is born with confidence. They develop it with time. It is a learnable skill. Anyone can learn it.” Due to my newly found motivation (动机), I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles. Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it. I wanted to change very much. So, I created a proper list of how to meet with people. In the list, I mentioned everything from eye contact to smile, handshake, asking questions, etc. I tried to talk with a stranger every day and got mixed up even more with my classmates. Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college. I asked every classmate to give me company. But not even one student was ready. I wanted to do it so badly that I ended up doing it alone, which was a fearless move for me. On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it. 4. What stirred up the author’s determination to change? A. An inspiring video. B. A college project. C. Articles on shyness. D. Books on personal development. 5. What does the underlined word “consuming” mean in paragraph 3? A. Taking in. B. Taking advantage of. C. Using up. D. Being addicted to. 6. What can be inferred about the speaking competition? A. 31 students were awarded 3rd prize. B. It helped the author remove stage fear. C. It was the biggest challenge for the author. D. Teamwork was required in the competition. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. All things are difficult before they are easy. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者曾经害怕与陌生人交流，但在大学期间，受到一段关于如何应对害羞的视频启发，开始积极寻求改变。作者通过观看视频、阅读书籍和文章，学习社交技巧，并尝试与陌生人交流。最后，作者鼓起勇气参加了学校的公开演讲比赛，克服了舞台恐惧，并获得第三名。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me.”（有一天，当我在网上为我的大学项目做一些研究时，我发现了一个关于如何应对害羞的视频。视频中的人解释了关于害羞的一切，并说了一些激励我的话。）可知，作者在看了一个关于如何应对害羞的视频后，被视频中的话所激励，从而激起了他改变的决心。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles.”（我在2到3天内看了数百个关于个人发展的视频。我还订购了一些个人发展方面的书籍，并在网上阅读了一些文章。）可知，作者观看了大量关于个人发展的视频，阅读了大量相关书籍和文章。结合划线词所在句“Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it.”（仅仅consuming信息并不能改变我的生活。我知道我必须去实践它。）可推知，作者意识到只是通过上文所述方式去“获取信息”是远远不够的，还要去实践它。故划线词consuming的意思是“摄入，吸收”，与taking in同义。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college.”（现在我想彻底改变我的生活。这就是为什么我试图克服我最大的恐惧：舞台恐惧。幸运的是，在我的大学里有一个公开演讲比赛。）和最后一段中“On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it.”（在比赛那天，我很害怕。我知道，如果我不克服这种恐惧，它将伴随我一生。登上舞台后，我发现它并没有那么可怕。我尽了最大的努力，在31名学生中获得了三等奖。我的老师在祝贺我。我很高兴我终于做到了。）可推知，这次演讲比赛帮助作者克服了舞台恐惧。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，只要有决心和行动，就没有什么是不可能的。文章讲述作者从害怕与人交往到最终克服舞台恐惧并获得演讲比赛第三名，这一转变过程充分说明了“有志者事竟成”的道理。因此，我们可以从作者的经历中学到的是“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.”（有志者事竟成）。故选C项。 C Sea level is rising due to climate change, which threatens the future of millions of people around the world. Also, it threatens our cultural past. “It’s really the history of our species that’s at risk in a lot of ways,” says Meghan Howey, an archaeologist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Another archaeologist Anderson recently used online data to look at the dangers caused by rising seas to cultural sites in the southeastern United States. He found a one-meter rise in sea level could des troy more than 13,000 of those places. So how are we going to protect the important places? Efforts to limit the worst impacts from climate change, including sea level rise, will require cutting greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) or maybe taking steps to limit flooding in important areas. Another approach might be to move cultural treasures. But projects like that are often very expensive. It’s unlikely that funds to do that will be available (可用的) for every site. And some treasures simply can’t be moved. But high-tech tools might help preserve knowledge of those treasures before physical sites are lost, says Mark McCoy, an archaeologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. For example, scanning and imaging tools can help. LIDAR is a type of system that uses lasers to make exact 3-D scans of objects. High-resolution digital photography can make detailed images. Computer technologies can also create 3-D virtual reality models. Rising seas are likely to eventually bury a lot of archaeological treasures. And in some cases, the old techniques (技术) that archaeologists have long used may also help. “I still use traditional methods out on a site when the conditions call for it,” McCoy notes. For example, he says, “Paper and pencil do not require batteries and don’t break when I drop them on rocks.” 8. Why does the author mention two archaeologists in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the risk to cultural sites. B. To prove the value of online data. C. To explain the reason of sea level rise. D. To show the impact of climate change. 9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How to make exact 3-D scans of objects. B. How to save the endangered cultural treasures. C. Scanning and imaging tools can help save the treasures. D. High-tech tools may play a part in preserving knowledge of the sites. 10. What’s McCoy’s attitude towards traditional methods? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Puzzled. 11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text? （P: Paragraph） A. B. C. D. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述海平面上升威胁着我们的文化历史以及解决办法，并提到高科技工具可能在保存遗址知识方面发挥作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。第一段中“Also, it threatens our cultural past.(此外，它还威胁着我们的文化历史)”提到海平面上升还威胁着我们的文化历史，接着下文““It’s really the history of our species that’s at risk in a lot of ways,” says Meghan Howey, an archaeologist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Another archaeologist Anderson recently used online data to look at the dangers caused by rising seas to cultural sites in the southeastern United States. He found a one-meter rise in sea level could des troy more than 13,000 of those places.(‘我们这个物种的历史在很多方面都处于危险之中，’达勒姆新罕布什尔大学的考古学家Meghan Howey说。另一位考古学家Anderson最近利用在线数据研究了海平面上升对美国东南部文化遗址造成的危险。他发现，海平面每上升1米，就可能摧毁其中的13000多个地方)”提到两位考古学家描述的对于历史的危险，故此处是为了强调海平面上升对文化遗址的威胁，故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“But high-tech tools might help preserve knowledge of those treasures before physical sites are lost(高科技工具可能有助于在实体遗址消失之前保存这些宝藏的知识)”可知，本段主要讲述高科技工具可能在保存遗址知识方面发挥作用，并列举了扫描和成像工具、激光雷达、高分辨率数码摄影和计算机技术，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I still use traditional methods out on a site when the conditions call for it,” McCoy notes. For example, he says, “Paper and pencil do not require batteries and don’t break when I drop them on rocks.”(‘当条件需要时，我仍然在现场使用传统的方法，’McCoy指出。例如，他说：‘纸和铅笔不需要电池，当我把它们掉在石头上时也不会坏。’)”可知，McCoy对于传统方法持积极态度，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文内容，根据第一段中“Sea level is rising due to climate change, which threatens the future of millions of people around the world. Also, it threatens our cultural past.(由于气候变化，海平面正在上升，这威胁着全世界数百万人的未来。此外，它还威胁着我们的文化历史)”可知，第一段引出主题——海平面上升威胁着我们的文化历史；根据第二段中“So how are we going to protect the important places?(那么我们要如何保护这些重要的地方呢)”可知，第二段提出保护文化遗址免受威胁的方法；第三段中“But high-tech tools might help preserve knowledge of those treasures before physical sites are lost(高科技工具可能有助于在实体遗址消失之前保存这些宝藏的知识)”和第四段中“And in some cases, the old techniques (技术) that archaeologists have long used may also help.(在某些情况下，考古学家长期使用的旧技术也可能有所帮助)”分别讲述了高科技手段和传统方法提供的帮助，故选D。 D News companies are increasingly using video and images from social media to report on the ongoing conflict (冲突) between Israel and Hamas. This has led some media organizations to increase their efforts to identify false or misleading information. Reporters covering the war are limited by the government on how they can document the conflict. But they can use a flood of video and pictures published online. Therefore, reports of the war have included many images and video that appeared on social media. News content has also been recorded by satellite equipment and cameras placed around Israel and Gaza. Using this kind of content in news shows has become very common for major media companies. Wendy McMahon, president of CBS News and Stations, told The Associated Press that many people watching news reports today expect to be part of “a shared viewing experience.” This way, they can feel like they are learning what is going on right along with the reporters, McMahon said. In order to create this kind of experience, news reporters have to search through a huge online supply of images and video, which comes from services like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Checking this material, however, can be difficult. With so much material, it is easy for people or organizations to create false images and video using artificial intelligence (AI). Reuters news agency uncovered several images published online that turned out to be false. McMahon, from CBS, said the Israel-Hamas war has in many ways confirmed a big fear among news reporters: “News companies would see a flood of misinformation to an extent that was never seen before.” 12. What can we learn about the reports on the war between Israel and Hamas? A. They are free from government limits. B. They take advantage of online content. C. They document all the conflicts in detail. D. They are mainly recorded by satellite equipment. 13. What is a challenge for news reporters according to the passage? A. Editing news materials. B. Removing fear of misinformation. C. Identifying false content. D. Creating images and video with AI. 14. Why are online video and images commonly used by media companies? A. They are easily accessible to people. B. They offer a better viewing experience. C. They record what is going on faithfully. D. They are in good supply on social media. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How to Publish Online News B. How to Identify False Information C. How Social Media Affects News Reports D. How Social Media Helps to Cover the Conflict 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新闻公司越来越多地使用社交媒体上的视频和图片来报道以色列和哈马斯之间正在进行的冲突，这导致新闻记者面临识别网上的虚假内容的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“News companies are increasingly using video and images from social media to report on the ongoing conflict(冲突) between Israel and Hamas.(新闻公司越来越多地使用社交媒体上的视频和图片来报道以色列和哈马斯之间正在进行的冲突。)”和第二段中“But they can use a flood of video and pictures published online. Therefore, reports of the war have included many images and video that appeared on social media.(但他们可以利用网上发布的大量视频和图片。因此，关于这场战争的报道包含了许多出现在社交媒体上的图片和视频。)”可知，他们利用网上的内容来对以色列和哈马斯之间的战争进行报道。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This has led some media organizations to increase their efforts to identify false or misleading information.(这导致一些媒体组织加大了识别虚假或误导性信息的努力。)”和倒数第二段中“Checking this material, however, can be difficult. With so much material, it is easy for people or organizations to create false images and video using artificial intelligence (AI). Reuters news agency uncovered several images published online that turned out to be false.(然而，检查这种材料可能很困难。有了如此多的材料，人们或组织很容易利用人工智能(AI)创建虚假图像和视频。路透社发现网上发布的几张图片都是假的。)”可知，新闻记者面临的挑战是识别网上的虚假内容。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Wendy McMahon, president of CBS News and Stations, told The Associated Press that many people watching news reports today expect to be part of ‘a shared viewing experience.’ This way, they can feel like they are learning what is going on right along with the reporters, McMahon said.(哥伦比亚广播公司新闻和电台总裁Wendy McMahon告诉美联社，今天许多观看新闻报道的人都希望成为‘共同观看体验’的一部分。McMahon说，通过这种方式，他们可以感觉到自己正在与记者一起了解正在发生的事情。)”可知，媒体公司经常使用在线视频和图像的原因是它们提供更好的观看体验。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“News companies are increasingly using video and images from social media to report on the ongoing conflict(冲突) between Israel and Hamas.(新闻公司越来越多地使用社交媒体上的视频和图片来报道以色列和哈马斯之间正在进行的冲突。)”可知，本文主要介绍了新闻公司更多地使用社交媒体上的视频和图片来进行新闻报道。C项“社交媒体是如何影响新闻报道的”能概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选C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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Wildlife Day is celebrated each year on March 3rd.

I volunteered about thirty to forty hours a week during the summer. Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (捏) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷). I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year. Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the courage to ask him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. 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。 Then Mr. Gillespi e told me what happened to him five years ago. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It was your voice and touch that had kept me alive”, Mr. Gillespie said with gratitude. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Then Mr. Gillespie told me what happened to him five years ago. It turned out that a road crash left him in a coma, but no one could get in touch with his family. When he lay there in hospital, he could hear someone talking to him and could feel his hand being held the whole time. “I thought it was an angel, not a person, who was there with me!” he said excitedly. Seeing the smiling face, I felt a surge of warmth welling up inside my heart with tears of happiness streaming down my face. “It was your voice and touch that had kept me alive”, Mr. Gillespie said with gratitude. “Thank you so much, my angel!” With tears in his eyes, he hugged me tightly and thanked me again and again. Hearing what Mr. Gillespie said, I felt a mixture of joy and touching emotion surging through me. I never expected that a little kindness could make me treated as an angel! Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day and I will never forget what he did for me: he made me an angel. （163 words） 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者七年级在一家医院做自愿者时，曾照顾一个昏迷的人Gillespie先生，作者在离开一段时间回来时，发现Gillespie先生不在了，作者害怕他已经死了，也不敢询问他的情况，但是几年后，他们意外的在加油站见面，在作者介绍完后，Gillespie先生给了作者一个温暖的拥抱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后Gillespie先生告诉了我他五年前的遭遇。”可知，第一段可描写Gillespie先生解释自己当年的遭遇。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘是你的声音和触摸让我活了下来，’Gillespie感激地说。”可知，第二段可描写Gillespie先生感谢作者以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：解释遭遇——幸福得流泪——感谢、拥抱——喜悦、感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①与某人取得联系：get in touch with sb/contact sb ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③感谢：thank/appreciate 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement ②感动：touching/moving 【点睛】[高分句型1] “I thought it was an angel, not a person, who was there with me!” he said excitedly.（强调句型） [高分句型2] Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day and I will never forget what he did for me: he made me an angel.（由连词although引导的让步状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 听力1–5AABCC 6–10ACCAC 11–15CCBBB 16–20BAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023-2024学年度第二学期期末质量监测 高一英语 本试卷共12页，时长120分钟，满分150分。 注意事项： 1. 本试卷由四部分组成。其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题。第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。用2B铅笔将试卷类型（A）填涂在答题卡相应位置上。将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 3. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 4. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 5. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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。 1.

B I used to behave like a superhero with my family. But talking with a stranger was very difficult for me. I stayed like this for a long time. But conditions seemed to change after I attended college. One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me. He said, “No one is born with confidence. They develop it with time. It is a learnable skill. Anyone can learn it.” Due to my newly found motivation (动机), I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles. Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it. I wanted to change very much. So, I created a proper list of how to meet with people. In the list, I mentioned everything from eye contact to smile, handshake, asking questions, etc. I tried to talk with a stranger every day and got mixed up even more with my classmates. Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college. I asked every classmate to give me company. But not even one student was ready. I wanted to do it so badly that I ended up doing it alone, which was a fearless move for me. On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it. 4. What stirred up the author’s determination to change? A. An inspiring video. B. A college project. C. Articles on shyness. D. Books on personal development. 5. What does the underlined word “consuming” mean in paragraph 3? A. Taking in. B. Taking advantage of. C. Using up. D. Being addicted to. 6. What can be inferred about the speaking competition? A. 31 students were awarded 3rd prize. B. It helped the author remove stage fear. C. It was the biggest challenge for the author. D. Teamwork was required in the competition. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. All things are difficult before they are easy. C Sea level is rising due to climate change, which threatens the future of millions of people around the world. Also, it threatens our cultural past. “It’s really the history of our species that’s at risk in a lot of ways,” says Meghan Howey, an archaeologist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Another archaeologist Anderson recently used online data to look at the dangers caused by rising seas to cultural sites in the southeastern United States. He found a one-meter rise in sea level could des troy more than 13,000 of those places. So how are we going to protect the important places? Efforts to limit the worst impacts from climate change, including sea level rise, will require cutting greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) or maybe taking steps to limit flooding in important areas. Another approach might be to move cultural treasures. But projects like that are often very expensive. It’s unlikely that funds to do that will be available (可用的) for every site. And some treasures simply can’t be moved. But high-tech tools might help preserve knowledge of those treasures before physical sites are lost, says Mark McCoy, an archaeologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. For example, scanning and imaging tools can help. LIDAR is a type of system that uses lasers to make exact 3-D scans of objects. High-resolution digital photography can make detailed images. Computer technologies can also create 3-D virtual reality models. Rising seas are likely to eventually bury a lot of archaeological treasures. And in some cases, the old techniques (技术) that archaeologists have long used may also help. “I still use traditional methods out on a site when the conditions call for it,” McCoy notes. For example, he says, “Paper and pencil do not require batteries and don’t break when I drop them on rocks.” 8. Why does the author mention two archaeologists in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the risk to cultural sites. B. To prove the value of online data. C. To explain the reason of sea level rise. D. To show the impact of climate change. 9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How to make exact 3-D scans of objects. B. How to save the endangered cultural treasures. C. Scanning and imaging tools can help save the treasures. D. High-tech tools may play a part in preserving knowledge of the sites. 10. What’s McCoy’s attitude towards traditional methods? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Puzzled. 11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text? （P: Paragraph） A. B. C. D. D News companies are increasingly using video and images from social media to report on the ongoing conflict (冲突) between Israel and Hamas. This has led some media organizations to increase their efforts to identify false or misleading information. Reporters covering the war are limited by the government on how they can document the conflict. But they can use a flood of video and pictures published online. Therefore, reports of the war have included many images and video that appeared on social media. News content has also been recorded by satellite equipment and cameras placed around Israel and Gaza. Using this kind of content in news shows has become very common for major media companies. Wendy McMahon, president of CBS News and Stations, told The Associated Press that many people watching news reports today expect to be part of “a shared viewing experience.” This way, they can feel like they are learning what is going on right along with the reporters, McMahon said. In order to create this kind of experience, news reporters have to search through a huge online supply of images and video, which comes from services like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Checking this material, however, can be difficult. With so much material, it is easy for people or organizations to create false images and video using artificial intelligence (AI). Reuters news agency uncovered several images published online that turned out to be false. McMahon, from CBS, said the Israel-Hamas war has in many ways confirmed a big fear among news reporters: “News companies would see a flood of misinformation to an extent that was never seen before.” 12. What can we learn about the reports on the war between Israel and Hamas? A. They are free from government limits. B. They take advantage of online content. C.

I volunteered about thirty to forty hours a week during the summer. Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (捏) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷). I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year. Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the courage to ask him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. 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。 Then Mr. Gillespi e told me what happened to him five years ago. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “It was your voice and touch that had kept me alive”, Mr. Gillespie said with gratitude. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1–5AABCC 6–10ACCAC 11–15CCBBB 16–20BAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
