British contemporary artist Philip Colbert has created a Lobster (龙虾) Wonderland in Changsha, Hunan Province. Date: July 15 Location: Changsha International Finance Square (Changsha IFS) About Philip Colbert His globally welcomed lobster series has won the hearts of a large number of followers. The artist, with a master’s in philosophy, takes lobster as his second personality.

Lobster Rainbow, a lobster breaking through a roof with a rainbow behind it, is the artist’s brand-new work for Changsha IFS. In his works, such as Daydreamer, Colbert also expresses his wish of narrowing the distance between art pieces and people. 1. What is Philip Colbert well known for? A. Alice Wonderland. B. Shark experience. C. Lobster series. D. Rainbow story. 2. What can we learn about the exhibition according to the text? A. It took place in the open air. B. There was no special works for the event.

The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”, a disease that affects how a person socializes with others. It was only at the age of ten that I started to become aware of my social life and self-image that I had carefully shaped. My sister, on the other hand, was socially awkward. She would mumble (咕哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said under her breath. She, however, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever acknowledged in public that she was my sister. Being in primary six, about to graduate, my sister and her classmates had to put up a performance, whether in a group, or individually. Due to her inability to integrate, my sister was the only one left without a group. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently. Hearing that, I was taken aback. How could my sister sing in front of the school? She would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I remember protesting. My parents shot me a look. No one knows she is your sister. It is fine you do not need to tell anyone. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start. The curtains parted to reveal the only solo (独唱) — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to state her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” people around me asked. I shifted nervously in my seat. Finally, my sister started to sing. I was prepared for the worst. She opened her mouth, and I was transfixed — she sang effortlessly. Her voice rang through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened ever so carefully to the words that she had composed all by herself. Guilt and shame filled my heart. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, my sister had forgiven me; she had never taken anything that I had done to her to heart. It was then that I resolved to love her unconditionally. 4. How did the author feel about his sister’s difference before 10? A. He hardly accepted it. B. He didn’t care about it. C. He was extremely awkward. D. He was determined to help. 5. Why did the author protest against his sister’s decision? A. To challenge his parents. B. To follow other students. C. To keep his sister’s image. D. To protect his self-respect. 6. What do we know about the author’s sister? A. She always got full marks in primary school. B. She refused to form a group with other students. C. She gave an excellent performance before graduation. D. She delivered an inspiring speech in front of the school. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his sister? A. Take nothing to heart. B. Love without condition. C. Stick to one’s own choice. D. Learn from anyone around. C The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality of impermanence: Everything is always changing. Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it- the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way. A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. The river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Societally, we’ve gone through a pandemic (大流行病), its economic decline and the widespread adoption of social media, the combination of which has shifted how we live and work. In our personal lives, we continue to do what we have always done: relocate, start jobs, quit jobs, change jobs, get promoted, experience illness, get married, have children, retire and on and on. Finding ways in this river requires both ruggedness and flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough and determined, to know your core values and what you stand for. To be flexible is to actively respond to changing circumstances, to adapt and bend easily without breaking, to grow and even change your mind. Put these qualities together and the result is a great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder — which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’s river —and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit. 8. What do we know about allostasis? A. It is a contradictory concept. B. It tends to focus on change. C. It advocates dynamic stability. D. It claims absolute adaptability. 9. Which of the following best explains “letting up” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Being pumped. B. Slowing down. C. Getting polluted. D. Rising up. 10. What will you gain from practicing allostasis according to the last paragraph? A. Popularity. B. Confidence. C. Recognition. D. Perseverance. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Say No to Stability B. Stop Resisting Change C. Fight for Flexibility D. Balance Life and Work D We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead? De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades. The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo (胚胎) . Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there's still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo. But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia? Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too. It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faeces (排泄物) , that supported so much flora (植物群) . Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes. True, it's not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead, it's more like making a "dodo" by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a do do or not, would probably fulfill some of its ecological roles. As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes — and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton's more fevered imaginings. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA. C. An inspired guess of de-extinction. D. The application of PCR technology. 13. What's the barrier to cloning a living embryo? A. Computational power is limited. B. DNA is hard to keep for long. C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can't be sequenced. 14 Why are people interested in cloning extinct species? A. They expect to seek hunt fun. B. They lack sources of modern art. C. They need them for research. D. They want to see biodiversity. 15. What's the author's attitude toward cloning extinct species? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Approving. 第二节 （共5个小题；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。 Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are in a temper, you make hasty ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. You will also regret reckless language spoken without thought.____16____Here are some ways that you can combat the causes of anger. ____17____You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you both frustrated and angry. Often there might be an excellent reason why a person acted in away that you found unacceptable. Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.____18____Neither will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation. Reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually angers. Anger is a negative reaction, but in this type of situation, there is no value in reacting by forming positive thoughts.____19____This way,your anger will not get the emotional food it needs to survive. Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we are angry. You might say you feel better after an angry outburst, but that is just the after-effect of the adrenalin (肾上腺素) your body released while you were angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. It is much harder to stay calm, to walk away from conflict, or to take a deep breath and act normally. ____20____ A. Stop trying to manage your anger. B. What can be done to control anger? C. You need to learn not to respond at all. D. That, however, is what you must do if you are to stop anger. E. You need to change your attitude to the way the world works. F. Taking positive steps will help you overcome feelings of anger. G. Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My mother has always been one of those rare people that see the good in everyone and do good things.

A few years ago, before Christmas, my dad placed a large box in his grocery store for people to donate toys for children in need. Kelly, my best friend came over to help with the wrapping. Knowing that our efforts would bring joy to so many children during the holiday season, we thought it was a rewarding experience. As we worked, we shared moments of laughter and joy. After a short while, we had almost finished wrapping all the toys with just one little teddy bear left. Looking at it, I said, “It is the sweetest! It reminds me of my teddy bear. I sold all my little kid stuff at our garage sale when we moved. But now I’m really missing it!” Kelly came to see it and shared. “I have a sad teddy bear story too. When my little brother was a baby, I let him play with my Rosy Bear, but he refused to give her back. Ever.” After our chat, we knew both of us had a special story with a teddy bear. Right then, my dad entered the room and exclaimed. “Wow, great wrapping job! The kids are going to be thrilled when opening these presents.” “They definitely will. Maybe we both want to be the one who can get the teddy bear. I can just imagine how delighted a kid would be to unwrap this sweet teddy bear.” said Kelly. We laughed, gazing at the perfectly wrapped bears. My mom, joining in the laughter, suggested, “Why don’t you gather at our house next Saturday for a cookie-decorating party and exchange your Christmas gifts in advance? I’ll prepare the cookies for you.” “Good idea! I will enjoy the great joy of unwrapping the gift.” I said cheerfully. Hearing what we said, Kelly’s eyes lit up, saying, “Count me in!” “All right, girls,” said my dad. “We need to do the toy-loading work now. We have to drop off all these presents before five o’clock!” 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。 Paragraph 1: The next week, I was trying to figure out a perfect gift for the party. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of the party arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 石家庄二中教育集团2023-2024学年度高二年级下学期期末考试 英语试卷 （时间：120分钟，分值：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，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.

The artist, with a master’s in philosophy, takes lobster as his second personality.(他的龙虾系列受到全球欢迎，赢得了一大批粉丝的心。这位拥有哲学硕士学位的艺术家把龙虾当作自己的第二人格)”可知，他的龙虾系列作品受到全球欢迎，所以他是因他的龙虾系列作品而全球闻名的。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Features部分中“In Changsha IFS, Colbert’s exhibition, which is the London-based artist’s first large-scale outdoor public art installations, has three major sectors, showcasing his large installations, sculptures and new media arts as well as the special works created for the event.(在长沙IFS，科尔伯特的展览是伦敦艺术家的第一个大型户外公共艺术装置，分为三个主要部分，展示了他的大型装置，雕塑和新媒体艺术以及为活动创作的特别作品)”可知，该展览是这位伦敦艺术家的第一个大型户外公共艺术装置。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While Alice has her adventures in the Wonderland, you can have your own as well this summer. British contemporary artist Philip Colbert has created a Lobster(龙虾) Wonderland in Changsha, Hunan Province.(当爱丽丝在仙境里冒险的时候，这个夏天你也可以有自己的冒险。英国当代艺术家菲利普·科尔伯特在湖南省长沙市创造了一个龙虾仙境)”结合文章主要介绍了一位艺术家的展览，故本文可以在艺术杂志上看到。故选B。 B Up to the age of ten, I did not mind at all the fact that my elder sister was different.

Due to her inability to integrate, my sister was the only one left without a group. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently. Hearing that, I was taken aback. How could my sister sing in front of the school? She would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I remember protesting. My parents shot me a look. No one knows she is your sister. It is fine, you do not need to tell anyone. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start. The curtains parted to reveal the only solo (独唱) — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to state her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” people around me asked. I shifted nervously in my seat. Finally, my sister started to sing. I was prepared for the worst. She opened her mouth, and I was transfixed — she sang effortlessly. Her voice rang through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened ever so carefully to the words that she had composed all by herself. Guilt and shame filled my heart. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, my sister had forgiven me; she had never taken anything that I had done to her to heart. It was then that I resolved to love her unconditionally. 4. How did the author feel about his sister’s difference before 10? A. He hardly accepted it. B. He didn’t care about it. C. He was extremely awkward. D. He was determined to help. 5. Why did the author protest against his sister’s decision? A. To challenge his parents. B. To follow other students. C. To keep his sister’s image. D. To protect his self-respect. 6. What do we know about the author’s sister? A. She always got full marks in primary school. B. She refused to form a group with other students. C. She gave an excellent performance before graduation. D. She delivered an inspiring speech in front of the school. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his sister? A. Take nothing to heart. B. Love without condition. C. Stick to one’s own choice. D. Learn from anyone around. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者被姐姐无条件的爱所感动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Up to the age of ten, l did not mind at all the fact that my elder sister was different (十岁以前，我一点也不介意我姐姐与众不同) ”可知，在10岁之前，作者不在乎他姐姐的不同。故答案为B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Hearing that, I was taken aback. How could my sister sing in front of the school? She would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I remember protesting. My parents shot me a look. (听到这里，我吃了一惊。我姐姐怎么能在全校面前唱歌呢?无论如何她都会让我难堪。"不行!"我记得抗议过。我父母瞪了我一眼。) ”可知，作者抗议他姐姐的目的是保护他的自尊。故答案为D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Her voice rang through the hall, beautiful in its power. l listened ever so carefully to the words that she had composed all by herself.(她的声音响彻整个大厅，充满了美妙的力量。我非常认真地听她独自创作的歌词。)”可知，作者的姐姐在毕业前表演得非常出色，故答案为C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Guilt and shame filled my heart. Although she knew that l was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, my sister had forgiven me; she had never taken anything that l had done to her to heart. It was then that I resolved to love her unconditionally.(内疚和羞愧充满了我的心，虽然她知道我被她弄得很尴尬，不愿意参加她的演唱会，但我姐姐已经原谅了我；她从未把我对她的所作所为放在心上。就在那时，我下定决心无条件地爱她。)可知，作者从他姐姐身上学到了无条件的爱。故答案为B。 C The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality of impermanence: Everything is always changing. Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it- the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way. A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. The river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Societally, we’ve gone through a pandemic (大流行病), its economic decline and the widespread adoption of social media, the combination of which has shifted how we live and work. In our personal lives, we continue to do what we have always done: relocate, start jobs, quit jobs, change jobs, get promoted, experience illness, get married, have children, retire and on and on. Finding ways in this river requires both ruggedness and flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough and determined, to know your core values and what you stand for. To be flexible is to actively respond to changing circumstances, to adapt and bend easily without breaking, to grow and even change your mind. Put these qualities together and the result is a great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder — which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’s river —and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit. 8. What do we know about allostasis? A. It is a contradictory concept. B. It tends to focus on change. C. It advocates dynamic stability. D. It claims absolute adaptability. 9. Which of the following best explains “letting up” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Being pumped. B. Slowing down. C. Getting polluted. D. Rising up. 10. What will you gain from practicing allostasis according to the last paragraph? A. Popularity. B. Confidence. C. Recognition. D. Perseverance. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Say No to Stability B. Stop Resisting Change C. Fight for Flexibility D. Balance Life and Work 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了变化与稳定性的概念，并强调了适应变化和在变化中找到稳定性的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.(一种叫做“allostasis”的概念可以提供帮助。20世纪80年代末，神经学家Peter Sterling和生物学家Joseph Eyer将“allostasis”定义为“通过变化保持稳定”，优雅地展示了这个概念的双重含义：在变化过程中保持稳定的方法是改变，至少在某种程度上是这样。)”可知，allostasis指的是通过变化保持稳定。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词组上一句“The river of change has been flowing mercilessly(变革的河流一直在无情地流淌)”可知，变化一直都在发生，由此可知，划线词组的意思和“停止、缓慢下来”相似。选项A“Being pumped (兴奋)”；选项B“Slowing down (慢下来)”；选项C“Getting polluted (被污染)”；选项D“Rising up (上升)”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Put these qualities together and the result is a great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder—which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’s river —and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit.(把这些品质放在一起，结果是一个伟大的耐力，一个帮助你保持强大的核心，即使在脆弱的时刻。它能让你进入异稳态的有序、无序和再有序的循环——当然，这与踏入赫拉克利特的河流是一样的——并在可能的时候，为了你自己的利益，巧妙地绘制它的图表。)”可知，通过实践“allostasis”，我们可以通过拥抱变化并从中找到稳定性，可以获得出色的耐力和技巧性地规划自己的道路。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it- the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. (很多人对改变的态度都很紧张。他们否认、抵制或试图控制它——其结果几乎总是压力、焦虑和倦怠的结合。)”、第三段“It doesn’t have to be that way.(事情并不一定要这样。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了适应变化和在变化中找到稳定性的重要性，并强调了通过拥抱变化并从中找到稳定性，我们可以获得出色的耐力和技巧性地规划自己的道路。因此，最佳标题是选项B“Stop Resisting Change (停止抗拒变化)”。故选B。 D We may weep for the dodo, but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead? De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades. The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify (放大) tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo (胚胎) . Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed (腐烂) beyond repair. They could be sequenced (测定序列) using massive computational power, but then only with considerable uncertainty. And even if you capture a DNA sequence, there's still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo. But why would anyone want to see mammoths, or something like them, roaming (漫游) present-day Siberia? Well, they were undoubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe. Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too. It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faeces (排泄物) , that supported so much flora (植物群) . Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes. True, it's not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life. Instead, it's more like making a "dodo" by engineering a modern pigeon, its closest relative, to become huge and flightless. The result would be a big, fatty pigeon that, whether it looked like a do do or not, would probably fulfill some of its ecological roles. As a palaeontologist, I would of course love to see living dinosaurs, mammoths and dodos. In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes — and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton's more fevered imaginings. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. A science fiction review. B. The development of DNA. C. An inspired guess of de-extinction. D. The application of PCR technology. 13. What's the barrier to cloning a living embryo? A. Computational power is limited. B. DNA is hard to keep for long. C. Biologists are opposed to it. D. Living cells can't be sequenced. 14. Why are people interested in cloning extinct species? A. They expect to seek hunt fun. B. They lack sources of modern art. C. They need them for research. D. They want to see biodiversity. 15. What's the author's attitude toward cloning extinct species? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Approving. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要探讨了复活动物灭绝物种（如渡渡鸟，猛犸象）的科学可能性与生态意义，虽然即使挑战重重，但若成功，或将恢复生态系统多样性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life. Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology could be a way to amplify（放大）tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo（胚胎）.”（现代的故事开始于1990年，当时迈克尔·克莱顿出版了他的科幻小说《侏罗纪公园》，他在书中想象了一个科学家能够让恐龙复活的世界。克莱顿设想，聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术可能是一种扩增少量恐龙DNA从而构建活胚胎的方法。）可知，第二段主要讲的是对灭绝物种复活的启发性猜测。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sadly, biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed（腐烂）beyond repair.”（可悲的是，生物学家很快意识到DNA实际上分解得非常快；即使在100年后，博物馆里的渡渡鸟皮肤上的DNA也已经腐烂到无法修复的程度。）可知，克隆活胚胎的障碍是DNA很难长时间保存。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Fascinating as they may be, there's some ecological justification for the project too.”（尽管它们可能很吸引人，但这个项目也有一些生态上的理由。）以及第五段“It was this diversity of land surface, broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilized by faeces（排泄物）, that supported so much flora（植物群）. Without the mammoths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species, including flowers and bushes.”（正是这种陆地表面的多样性，被笨重的树枝破坏，被粪便随机施肥，才支持了这么多的植物群。没有猛犸象，这种多样性就消失了。把它们放回去，景观将再次充满各种各样的物种，包括鲜花和灌木。）可知，人们对克隆灭绝物种感兴趣是因为他们想看看生物多样性。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据整篇文章的语境，尤其是最后一段中“In some ways, though, I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out. The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes —and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton's more fevered imaginings.”（然而，在某些方面，我感到宽慰的是，对克隆和基因技术的乐观主张尚未得到证实。经济放缓让我们有时间考虑结果——希望能避免迈克尔•克莱顿(Michael Crichton)那种更狂热的想象。）可知，技术的放慢使作者有时间考虑这些技术的后果，并避免一些过于狂热的想象。由此可推知，作者对于克隆灭绝物种持谨慎态度。故选A项。 第二节 （共5个小题；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。 Anger is the most destructive emotion.

You will also regret reckless language spoken without thought.____16____Here are some ways that you can combat the causes of anger. ____17____You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you both frustrated and angry. Often, there might be an excellent reason why a person acted in away that you found unacceptable. Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.____18____Neither will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation. Reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually angers. Anger is a negative reaction, but in this type of situation, there is no value in reacting by forming positive thoughts.____19____This way,your anger will not get the emotional food it needs to survive. Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we are angry. You might say you feel better after an angry outburst, but that is just the after-effect of the adrenalin (肾上腺素) your body released while you were angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. It is much harder to stay calm, to walk away from conflict, or to take a deep breath and act normally. ____20____ A. Stop trying to manage your anger. B. What can be done to control anger? C. You need to learn not to respond at all. D. That, however, is what you must do if you are to stop anger. E. You need to change your attitude to the way the world works. F.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种可以帮助对抗愤怒的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are in a temper, you make hasty ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. You will also regret reckless language spoken without thought.(愤怒是最具破坏性的情绪。当你脾气不好的时候，你会草率地做出你可能会后悔的决定。你也会后悔不经思考就说出鲁莽的语言)”以及后文“Here are some ways that you can combat the causes of anger.(这里有一些方法可以帮助你克服愤怒的根源)”可知，空处应是过渡句，由生气的坏处过渡到如何克服愤怒，所以B项“What can be done to control anger?(怎样才能控制愤怒呢?)”符合文意。故选B项。 【17题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，所以根据后文“You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you both frustrated and angry. Often, there might be an excellent reason why a person acted in away that you found unacceptable.(你必须接受有时事情会出错，人们并不总是可爱的。试着接受别人的行为方式会让你既沮丧又生气。通常，可能会有一个很好的理由来解释为什么一个人的行为让你无法接受)”可知，本段主要讲述了你需要改变你对世界运作方式的态度，所以E项“You need to change your attitude to the way the world works.(你需要改变你对世界运作方式的态度)”符合文意。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.(意识到人无完人是避免生气的好开始)”以及后文“Neither will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.(他们的行为也不会和你在特定情况下的行为一样)”可知，本段主要讲述了，不要用自己的标准去看待他人，所以G项“Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you.(此外，你需要接受并不是每个人都有和你一样的标准)”符合本段主题。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually angers. Anger is a negative reaction, but in this type of situation, there is no value in reacting by forming positive thoughts.(愤怒是一个很难改掉的习惯。诀窍是在面对通常令人愤怒的情况时避免做出反应。愤怒是一种消极的反应，但在这种情况下，形成积极的想法是没有价值的)”可知，本段主要讲述了不要在愤怒的情况下做出反应，所以C项“You need to learn not to respond at all.(你要学会完全不回应)”符合本段主题。故选C项。 【20题详解】 分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we are angry. You might say you feel better after an angry outburst, but that is just the after-effect of the adrenalin (肾上腺素) your body released while you were angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. It is much harder to stay calm, to walk away from conflict, or to take a deep breath and act normally.(当你生气的时候，不要轻易就范。当我们生气的时候，我们都会想要扔东西，打东西，或者尖叫。你可能会说你在生气后感觉好多了，但那只是你生气时身体释放的肾上腺素的后遗症。这样的反应很简单。要想保持冷静，远离冲突，或者深呼吸，正常行事，都要困难得多)”可知，D项“That, however, is what you must do if you are to stop anger.(然而，如果你要停止愤怒，那就是你必须做的)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，总结前文。故选D项。 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My mother has always been one of those rare people that see the good in everyone and do good things.

A few years ago, before Christmas, my dad placed a large box in his grocery store for people to donate toys for children in need. Kelly, my best friend came over to help with the wrapping. Knowing that our efforts would bring joy to so many children during the holiday season, we thought it was a rewarding experience. As we worked, we shared moments of laughter and joy. After a short while, we had almost finished wrapping all the toys with just one little teddy bear left. Looking at it, I said, “It is the sweetest! It reminds me of my teddy bear. I sold all my little kid stuff at our garage sale when we moved. But now I’m really missing it!” Kelly came to see it and shared. “I have a sad teddy bear story too. When my little brother was a baby, I let him play with my Rosy Bear, but he refused to give her back. Ever.” After our chat, we knew both of us had a special story with a teddy bear. Right then, my dad entered the room and exclaimed. “Wow, great wrapping job! The kids are going to be thrilled when opening these presents.” “They definitely will. Maybe we both want to be the one who can get the teddy bear. I can just imagine how delighted a kid would be to unwrap this sweet teddy bear.” said Kelly. We laughed, gazing at the perfectly wrapped bears. My mom, joining in the laughter, suggested, “Why don’t you gather at our house next Saturday for a cookie-decorating party and exchange your Christmas gifts in advance? I’ll prepare the cookies for you.” “Good idea! I will enjoy the great joy of unwrapping the gift.” I said cheerfully. Hearing what we said, Kelly’s eyes lit up, saying, “Count me in!” “All right, girls,” said my dad. “We need to do the toy-loading work now. We have to drop off all these presents before five o’clock!” 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。 Paragraph 1: The next week, I was trying to figure out a perfect gift for the party. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of the party arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next week, I was trying to figure out a perfect gift for the party. Hoping to bring great joy and surprise to Kelly, I searched for something unique. One day, walking home from school, I saw it in the shop window. It is a teddy bear exactly like the one I’d been wrapping. I quickly ran into the store, grabbed the bear, and brought it straight to the checkout counter. Upon returning home, I immediately started wrapping it up. I couldn’t wait to feel the joy and excitement when Kelly unwrapped this special gift. I imagined her face lighting up with surprise and delight. Finally, the day of the party arrived. After having fun decorating the cookies, we began the most exciting moment. We exchanged our gifts and were ready to open the beautifully wrapped boxes. My heart was racing as Kelly did that. Meanwhile, I unwrapped my gift from Kelly, only to find…a teddy bear! Much to my surprise, we had gotten the same brilliant idea. At the sight of the teddy bears, Kelly and I hugged each other tightly, grateful for the joy we had brought to each other. From that day on, the teddy bear became a cherished memory of us. It reminds us of the laughter and love we shared, and it always holds a special place in our hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了几年前的圣诞节前，作者和好朋友Kelly一起帮忙包装人们在爸爸杂货店里捐赠的礼物，最后只剩下一个泰迪熊，它让作者想起了自己被卖掉的泰迪熊，Kelly也想起自己被弟弟拿走的玩具熊，妈妈建议下周六在家举办饼干装饰派对，提前交换圣诞礼物，作者和Kelly都高兴地答应了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①第一段首句内容“接下来的一周，我一直在为派对想一个完美的礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者为Kelly找到了一个完美的圣诞节礼物：泰迪熊。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，聚会的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Kelly交换礼物后发现都是泰迪熊，这成了她们珍贵的回忆。 2.续写线索：寻找礼物——买下泰迪熊——想象Kelly的反应——交换礼物——惊讶——拥抱——成为珍贵的回忆 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search for/look for ②回家：return home/go back home ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] I couldn’t wait to feel the joy and excitement when Kelly unwrapped this special gift.（由连词when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] At the sight of the teddy bears, Kelly and I hugged each other tightly, grateful for the joy we had brought to each other.（省略关系词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
