B Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia. Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C. Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888. The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns. Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations. 24. What can we learn about Raymond Flower? A. He wrote about skiing. B. He invented skiing. C. He recorded Norse myths. D. He was good at rock carving. 25. Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s? A. Some official competitions were held. B. The British spread it all over the world. C. It was written in the textbook on history. D. An adventure book about skiing came out. 26. Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport? A. The Swiss. B. The British. C. The Norse. D. The Finn. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. How Did Skiing Develop in Norway? B. Why Did People Kill Time by Skiing? C. What Are Skiing Adventures All About? D. What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing? C Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element. Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet. A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used. California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete. Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product. The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction. Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used. 28. What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production? A. The high demand for energy. B. The processing of waste materials. C. The mass release of carbon dioxide. D. The use of non-renewable resources. 29. How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production? A. By using silicate rock as the basis. B. By putting carbon dioxide into concrete. C. By replacing sand with coffee grounds. D. By absorbing carbon dioxide with magnesium. 30. According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions? A. Difficulty in making profits. B. Convincing the public of the convenience. C. Lack of funding for research. D. Removing the industry members’ safety concerns. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A To promote an alternative to concrete. B. To advocate environmental protection. C. To introduce new ways to produce concrete. D. To emphasize the significance of creativity. D Scientists Diego Kersting and Cristina Linares have found that some coral species are able to recover from harmful warming events through a unique survival strategy（策略）—known as “rejuvenescence”（新生）—among corals in the Mediterranean Sea. The findings represent some rare good news for corals around the world,which are facing numerous severe threats—most notably,climate change. “The main threats are climate change, overfishing, pollution and coastal urbanization,” Kersting said. “But currently, climate change is probably the one causing the most coral cover declines. Warming stresses corals up to a point that may cause death. Some corals bleach（白化）before dying. Other corals do not bleach but die directly.” He went on, “Our findings are significant because this survival strategy was only known from fossil corals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. It is the first time that it has been found in a living coral. Thanks to our findings, we know now that some corals are able to recover, but unfortunately this is not enough in the currentclimate change context.” For their research, Kersting and Linares monitored 243 colonies of the endangered reef-building coral Cladocoracaespitosa in Spain’s Columbretes Islands Marine Reserve over 16 years. The monitoring revealed that Cladocoracaespitosa in the Mediterranean uses rejuvenescence to cope with warming events. This process involves the polyps — or the individual coral animals in a colony—shrinking inward and abandoning their skeletons（骨骼）during warm periods, before rejuvenating at a later point. “What happens is that some polyps in a coral colony—sometimes just one—reduces completely its dimensions and partially retreats from its skeleton,”Kersting said. “Once the stressful event is over, the shrunken or rejuvenated polyp recovers its size and builds up a new skeleton. Eventually, it begins to reproduce itself through budding and begins to cover the deadcolony surfaces.” He continued, “The results were very surprising because I started to observe colonies that were dead years ago, that were showing living parts many years after their death.” 32. What is the greatest threat to corals now ? A. Overfishing. B. Climate change. C. City growth. D. Light pollution. 33. What can we learn about the survival strategy? A. It was found for the first time. B. It is the cause of warming events. C. It represents the evolution of the corals. D It will bring hope for the endangered corals. 34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How the extreme corals forms. B. How the research was conducted. C. How the polyps survive their competitors. D. How the coral species manages to recover and regrow. 35. What is the purpose for the author to write the passage? A. To entertain. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To complain. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With more people concerned about the environment, you can expect to see many more electric vehicles( EVs电动汽车) on the road in future. ___36___ Drivers say there are a few things to get used to when switching to a vehicle powered by electricity. First of all, there’s no clutch (离合器). Instead, drivers use a simple selector to put EVs in park, drive, and reverse. Since they’re powered by electricity, EVs also apply full power as soon as the driver hits the accelerator (加速器). ___37___ Also, EVs slow down as soon as the driver lifts their foot off the accelerator. Drivers end up using their brakes much less. ___38___ The most obvious is that EVs don’t rely on gas. This means drivers of electric cars don’t need to stop at the gas station—in the long run, this can save a great deal of money. EVs are also low maintenance (维护). For example, they don’t need oil changes. ___39___ This is likely because of the placement of the battery, which sits just below the seats. This helps keep the vehicle’s center of gravity low. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Most EVs can drive over 200 miles on one full charge. ___40___ With limited charging stations in many areas, this could cause problems on long trips. Additionally, the batteries are expensive to replace. Finally, while EVs may save drivers’ money on gas and maintenance in the long run, the price of buying an EV is often higher than that of a gas-powered vehicle. A. There are many benefits of owning an EV. B. At that point, though, they need to be recharged. C. Many drivers also report that EVs feel more secure. D. This may help them speed up faster than gas-powered cars. E. As the name suggests, electric vehicles rely on electricity alone. F. Many people prefer EVs because they can reduce their stress. G. So what is it like to drive an electric vehicle instead of a gas-powered car? 第三部分 完形填空(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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly. Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces. Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water. 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。 I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024 学年第二学期高二年期末质量检测 英语学科试卷 (完卷时间120分钟;满分150分) 第 Ⅰ 卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did Ken probably expect to do?

Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C. Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888. The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns. Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations. 24. What can we learn about Raymond Flower? A. He wrote about skiing. B. He invented skiing. C. He recorded Norse myths. D. He was good at rock carving. 25. Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s? A. Some official competitions were held. B. The British spread it all over the world. C. It was written in the textbook on history. D. An adventure book about skiing came out. 26. Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport? A. The Swiss. B. The British. C. The Norse. D. The Finn. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. How Did Skiing Develop in Norway? B. Why Did People Kill Time by Skiing? C. What Are Skiing Adventures All About? D. What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing? 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了滑雪这项运动的起源及其发展历程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.(然而，雷蒙德·弗劳尔在《滑雪和其他冬季运动史》中写道，现代滑雪可以追溯到斯堪的纳维亚人，他们主要将滑雪板作为旅行工具或其他实用目的，尤其是挪威、芬兰和瑞典的土著萨米人)”可知，雷蒙德·弗劳尔写了一篇关于滑雪的书。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888.(随着一本畅销书的出版，滑雪成了家喻户晓的话题，这本书讲述了挪威探险家弗里德·乔夫·南森在1888年穿越格陵兰岛滑雪的艰难历史旅程)”可知，滑雪在19世纪末成为一个众所周知的词，是由于一本关于滑雪的冒险书籍出版了。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now.(在很大程度上，英国人将滑雪从斯堪的纳维亚起源转变为现在的高度竞争性运动)”可知，英国人在将滑雪变成更具竞争性的运动方面做出了最大的贡献。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia.

However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element. Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet. A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used. California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete. Additionally researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product. The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction. Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used. 28. What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production? A. The high demand for energy. B. The processing of waste materials. C. The mass release of carbon dioxide. D. The use of non-renewable resources. 29. How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production? A. By using silicate rock as the basis. B. By putting carbon dioxide into concrete. C. By replacing sand with coffee grounds. D. By absorbing carbon dioxide with magnesium. 30. According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions? A. Difficulty in making profits. B. Convincing the public of the convenience. C. Lack of funding for research. D. Removing the industry members’ safety concerns. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote an alternative to concrete. B. To advocate environmental protection. C. To introduce new ways to produce concrete. D. To emphasize the significance of creativity. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了建筑混凝土生产对环境的严重影响，以及一些公司和学者通过创新思维研究出新的建筑材料和生产方法，以减少混凝土生产过程中的二氧化碳排放，并推动建筑行业向更环保的方向转变。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.(在这个过程中，不仅二氧化碳被用于加热石灰石的能量释放到空气中，而且石灰石本身也释放出大量的元素。)”可知，与传统混凝土生产相关的环境问题是二氧化碳释放到空气中。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A Canadian company called Carbon Cure, has found a way to inject concrete with carbon dioxide itself.

Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.(一家名为CarbonCure的加拿大公司已经找到了一种向混凝土中注入二氧化碳的方法。这不仅可以将二氧化碳困在混凝土中，防止其逃逸到大气中，而且还可以产生一种叫做碳酸钙的超强材料，从而减少需要使用的混凝土总量。)”以及最后一段中“Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted.(希望这些解决混凝土环境问题的新方法能很快被广泛采用。)”以及通读全文可知，本文介绍了建筑混凝土生产对环境的严重影响，以及一些公司和学者通过创新思维研究出新的建筑材料和生产方法，以减少混凝土生产过程中的二氧化碳排放，并推动建筑行业向更环保的方向转变。故文章的目的是介绍生产混凝土的新方法。故选C。 D Scientists Diego Kersting and Cristina Linares have found that some coral species are able to recover from harmful warming events through a unique survival strategy（策略）—known as “rejuvenescence”（新生）—among corals in the Mediterranean Sea. The findings represent some rare good news for corals around the worldwhich are facing numerous severe threats—most notably,climate change. “The main threats are climate change, overfishing, pollution and coastal urbanization,” Kersting said. “But currently, climate change is probably the one causing the most coral cover declines. Warming stresses corals up to a point that may cause death. Some corals bleach（白化）before dying. Other corals do not bleach but die directly.” He went on, “Our findings are significant because this survival strategy was only known from fossil corals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. It is the first time that it has been found in a living coral. Thanks to our findings, we know now that some corals are able to recover, but unfortunately this is not enough in the currentclimate change context.” For their research, Kersting and Linares monitored 243 colonies of the endangered reef-building coral Cladocoracaespitosa in Spain’s Columbretes Islands Marine Reserve over 16 years. The monitoring revealed that Cladocoracaespitosa in the Mediterranean uses rejuvenescence to cope with warming events. This process involves the polyps — or the individual coral animals in a colony—shrinking inward and abandoning their skeletons（骨骼）during warm periods, before rejuvenating at a later point. “What happens is that some polyps in a coral colony—sometimes just one—reduces completely its dimensions and partially retreats from its skeleton,”Kersting said. “Once the stressful event is over, the shrunken or rejuvenated polyp recovers its size and builds up a new skeleton. Eventually, it begins to reproduce itself through budding and begins to cover the deadcolony surfaces.” He continued, “The results were very surprising because I started to observe colonies that were dead years ago, that were showing living parts many years after their death.” 32. What is the greatest threat to corals now ? A. Overfishing. B. Climate change. C. City growth. D. Light pollution. 33. What can we learn about the survival strategy? A. It was found for the first time. B. It is the cause of warming events. C. It represents the evolution of the corals. D It will bring hope for the endangered corals. 34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How the extreme corals forms. B. How the research was conducted. C. How the polyps survive their competitors. D. How the coral species manages to recover and regrow. 35. What is the purpose for the author to write the passage? A. To entertain. B. To persuade. C. To inform. D. To complain. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文。科学研究发现珊瑚采取了一种再生生存策略，这或许能减少珊瑚白化现象。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But currently, climate change is probably the one causing the most coral cover declines.（但目前，气候变化可能是导致珊瑚覆盖面积下降最多的原因）”可知，珊瑚现在面临的最大威胁是气候变化。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Thanks to our findings, we know now that some corals are able to recover，but unfortunately this is not enough in the currentclimate change context."（由于我们的发现，我们现在知道一些珊瑚能够恢复，但不幸的是，在当前的气候变化背景下，这是不够的）”可知，再生生存策略将为濒临灭绝的珊瑚带来希望。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“For their research, Kersting and Linares monitored 243 colonies of the endangered reef-building coral Cladocoracaespitosa in Spain’s Columbretes Islands Marine Reserve over 16 years. The monitoring revealed that Cladocoracaespitosa in the Mediterranean uses rejuvenescence to cope with warming events.（Kersting和Linares从2002年开始对西班牙哥伦布群岛海洋保护区的243个濒危的造礁珊瑚群落进行了长达16年的监测。监测结果显示，地中海的克拉多沙鱼利用新生来应对变暖事件）以及第三段介绍的珊瑚再生这一过程可知，第三段主要讲的是珊瑚如何恢复和再生。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Scientists Diego Kersting and Cristina Linares have found that some coral species are able to recover from harmful warming events through a unique survival strategy（策略）—known as “rejuvenescence”（新生）—among corals in the Mediterranean Sea.(科学家Diego Kersting和Cristina Linares发现，在地中海的珊瑚中，一些珊瑚物种能够通过一种独特的生存策略——被称为“新生”——从有害的变暖事件中恢复过来)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要讲的是科学研究发现珊瑚采取了一种再生生存策略，这或许能减少珊瑚白化现象。因此推断文章的写作目的是告知读者珊瑚的再生生存策略。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With more people concerned about the environment, you can expect to see many more electric vehicles( EVs电动汽车) on the road in future. ___36___ Drivers say there are a few things to get used to when switching to a vehicle powered by electricity. First of all, there’s no clutch (离合器). Instead, drivers use a simple selector to put EVs in park, drive, and reverse. Since they’re powered by electricity, EVs also apply full power as soon as the driver hits the accelerator (加速器). ___37___ Also, EVs slow down as soon as the driver lifts their foot off the accelerator. Drivers end up using their brakes much less. ___38___ The most obvious is that EVs don’t rely on gas. This means drivers of electric cars don’t need to stop at the gas station—in the long run, this can save a great deal of money. EVs are also low maintenance (维护). For example, they don’t need oil changes. ___39___ This is likely because of the placement of the battery, which sits just below the seats. This helps keep the vehicle’s center of gravity low. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Most EVs can drive over 200 miles on one full charge. ___40___ With limited charging stations in many areas, this could cause problems on long trips. Additionally, the batteries are expensive to replace. Finally, while EVs may save drivers’ money on gas and maintenance in the long run, the price of buying an EV is often higher than that of a gas-powered vehicle. A. There are many benefits of owning an EV. B. At that point, though, they need to be recharged. C. Many drivers also report that EVs feel more secure. D. This may help them speed up faster than gas-powered cars. E. As the name suggests, electric vehicles rely on electricity alone. F. Many people prefer EVs because they can reduce their stress. G.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己和电话推销员之间故事，懂得了一个道理：我们应该尊重每一个人。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：昨天，电信公司一个销售员给我打电话试图销售他的电话服务计划。A. forced 强迫；B. invited 邀请；C. called 打电话；D. allowed 允许。根据后文“I couldn’t talk yet…to call back one hour later.”作者让他一小时后打回，可知是电话联系，故选C项。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我正在工作，不想把时间花在这样的对话中，所以我找借口称我还不能讲话，而且我还建议他一小时后再打过来。A. choice 选择；B. promise 保证；C. decision 决定；D. excuse 借口。根据本句前半句“unwilling to spend time on those conversations”可知作者不愿和销售员聊天而非真的不能讲话，故可推测“不能讲话”只是一个借口。故选D项。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我正在工作，不想把时间花在这样的对话中，所以我找借口称我还不能讲话，而且我还建议他一小时后再打过来。A. begged 乞求；B. advised 建议；C. warned 警告；D. encouraged 鼓励。根据空格后的内容“他一小时后打过来”可以推测应该是作者找了一个现在不能讲话的借口后试图结束对话，并提议后面再聊。故advise 建议符合语境。故选B项。 【44题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，他继续解释他的电话服务计划，这个计划比我现在用的好点。A. present 现在的；B. common 普通的；C. former 以前的；D. extra 额外的。根据本句内容可以看出作者在对比电话中解释的这一服务计划和另外一个。根据常识应该是和目前正在使用的对比，这样才能使得作者感兴趣听下去。故选A项。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：听他说时，有时我陷入深思，发出“嗯嗯”声示意我赞同他所言或者让他知道我还在听着。A. impatience 不耐烦；B. confusion 迷惑；C. agreement 赞同；D. confidence 信心。根据后文“Sometimes I felt a bit impatient.”偶尔我有点不耐烦，可知前面出现的情绪应该是正面积极的情绪，即给出回应、表示赞同等。故选C项。 【46题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但是我试图在对话中保持礼貌。A. polite 礼貌的；B. proud 自豪的；C. excited 兴奋的；D. annoyed生气的。根据前文“sometimes I felt a bit impatient.”偶尔我有点不耐烦，和此句的转折词but可知空格处要填的形容词应该和impatient 不耐烦的情绪相反，选项A的polite 有礼貌的符合句意。故选A项。 【47题详解】 考查副词词义辨析 。句意：对话结束时，他说：“谢谢你听我说。通常情况下人们把我当成小偷或者对我们吼叫。”A. rarely 罕见地；B. personally 个人地；C. recently 最近地；D. usually 通常。根据后文“I haven’t had a conversation without offense.”我这还是第一次对话没受到侮辱。可推测前文推销员描述的情况是常见的情况，这一次很罕见。故选D项。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：对话结束时，他说：“谢谢你听我说。通常情况下人们把我当成小偷或者对我们吼叫。”A. shout 吼叫；B. wave 挥手；C. stare 凝视；D. smile 微笑。根据后文“I haven’t had a conversation without offense.”我这还是第一次对话没受到侮辱。可推测前文推销员描述的情况是受侮辱的场景，选项A shout 吼叫符合句意。故选A项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我知道如果我不占用你的时间，你可能工作后在休息或做其他的事情。A. bored 无聊；B. relaxed 休息、放松；C. stressed 使疲惫不堪；D. amazed 使惊奇。根据本句句意：推销员指出工作后人们会做什么，除了忙别的事，最可能的就是休息放松。故选B项。 【50题详解】 考查动词词组辨析。句意：我知道如果我不占用你的时间，你可能工作后在休息或做其他的事情。A. dealt with 处理；B. got through 完成；C. given back 归还；D. taken up 占据。根据前文作者想终止对话未得逞，可知推销员此刻应该是想说他占用了作者的时间。故选D项。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我意识到他一天的工作中多大可能是语言攻击的对象。A. argued 争论；B. appreciated 感激；C. realized 意识到；D. accepted 接受。根据前文推销员所说的电话中的offense 侮辱，可推测作者突然意识到了推销员的不容易，总是被攻击。故选C项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我意识到他一天的工作中多大可能是语言攻击的对象。A. communication 交流；B. challenge 挑战；C. attack 攻击；D. ability 能力。根据前文推销员所说的电话中的offense 侮辱，可推测就是语言攻击。故选C项。 【53题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我也承认我可能也曾向他展示了不良态度。A. impression 影响；B. character 性格；C. demand 要求；D. attitude 态度。根据前文的offense 侮辱和verbal attack 言语攻击可推测大多数接电话的人态度恶劣，故选D项。 【54题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：但是现在让他感到自己被不一样的对待了，我很开心。A. seriously 严肃地；B. differently 不同地；C. unfairly 不公平地；D. badly 糟糕地。根据前文销售员自己所说的I haven’t had a conversation without offense，可知之前电话中他总是受侮辱，而这一次没有，即被不一样的对待了。故选B项。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：实际上，每个人都应该被尊重。A. respected 尊重；B. regarded 认为；C. explored 探索；D. trusted 信任。前文提到推销员总是被侮辱、受到言语攻击，可知他没有被其他人尊重，而作者选择尊重他，故文章最后作者呼吁所有人都应该尊重他人。故选A项。 Ⅰ卷 第四部分 短文填词(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The first “forest library” in Shanghai recently opened to the public.

For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly. Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces. Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water. 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。 I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. I took a deep breath to keep calm. Looking around, I found a waste log, I threw it to him immediately and asked him to hold it and not to give up. At the same time I yelled for help, hoping someone could come to our rescue. Luckily, my mom heard my cries, rushed out of the house and raced towards us. She jumped into the water and reached out her hands to pull him. Several neighbors also quickly joined the rescue. They managed to get Jimmy out of the water. Finally, Jimmy was saved, pale and shivering. After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. We hugged each other in tears. I thought my mom would scold me. But she just held us in her arms tightly. She warned us it was dangerous to swim in the river. Both of us felt ashamed and promised never to do that again. This was really a special Easter, one I would never forget. For Jimmy, he had a narrow escape from drowning. For me, I felt the kindness of my neighbors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间发展为线索展开，讲述了作者与朋友吉米一起到河边玩耍，没有意识到危险的临近，导致他的朋友吉米在不知不觉中掉入深水的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到他在水里挣扎，我很害怕，但我知道我必须救他”可知，第一段可描写作者一边施救一边呼叫帮助，作者的妈妈以及邻居闻声赶来救出了作者的朋友吉米。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，吉米从恐慌中恢复过来，感谢我妈妈和邻居们。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妈妈没有批评他，告诉他在河里游泳很危险。吉米险些溺水，而作者感受到了邻居的善良。 2.续写线索：保持镇静——扔原木施救——呼叫援助——妈妈和邻居闻声赶来——救出吉米——被妈妈安慰——明白了在河里游泳的危险——感受到了邻居的善良 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/abandon ②大叫：yell/shout ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①感到羞愧：feel ashamed/feel abashed ②冷静的：calm/dispassionate 【点睛】[高分句型1].
