Here are four of them. The Maldives The resort is a hit with families. Explore different islands, visit traditional fishing villages, and enjoy the natural beauty of each location. Kids can have great fun building sandcastles on beaches and exploring seashell treasures. After sunset, enjoy beach parties, live music, and cultural performances.

For risky experiences, there are jungles and a volcano to hike. For a view of Bali against the sunrise, hike up Mount Batur. Then have a Balinese cultural experience, complete with puppet (木偶) making and traditional dancing. The Westin Family Kids Club offers fun activities such as face painting and kite making. Penang, Malaysia Thanks to its artsy scenery and greenery, its capital George Town was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2008. Take some family photos as you see many street arts. For a bit of schooling, check out the Made In Penang Interactive Museum which is home to murals (壁画) and displays for history enthusiasts. Kids can enjoy themselves in a kids club and a teddy bear-themed museum. Istanbul, Tirkiye With a rich history and diverse culture, the city is a destination for all ages. For a unique learning experience, explore the Topkapi Palace. Then check out Miniatirk, a large park with replicas (复制品) of famous Turkish landmarks. The Istanbul Toy Museum arouses children’s imagination with its collection of toys. Keep your eyes open for the puppet shows too! 1. What can tourists do in the Maldives? A. Hold free concerts at night. B. Visit an underwater ocean park. C. Have a special dining experience. D. Visit a museum featuring fishing. 2. Which destination would an adventure enthusiast most probably choose? A. The Maldives. B. Bali, Indonesia. C. Penang, Malaysia. D. Istanbul, Tirkiye. 3. What do the four destinations have in common? A. They are on UNESCO’s List. B. They are family-friendly. C. They provide museum tours. D. They have hands-on programs. B I was attending a conference about contemporary art among many art scholars in the field. I greeted others and introduced myself as a psychology Ph. D. student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee. Years earlier, when I was a student in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经学), my professors advised me, “Choose one interest and pursue a single goal.” I knew they were giving me valuable advice. But the reality was that I was attracted by many subjects besides neuroscience. Art was always an important part of my life. I was also fascinated by new technology and how it allowed researchers to explore uncharted waters. So, I disregarded my professors’ ad vice and looked for ways to develop all my passions. For a while, it seemed an impossible mission. Finally, I participated in a Ph. D. project that involved the study of art history and technologies that allowed people to have new aesthetic (美学的) experiences. However, the research journey didn’t go smoothly as expected. Each scientific conference I attended, regardless of its focus, left me feeling like a cheater, as academics tried to put me into a known professional category. I seemed to be setting myself up for being a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none. I felt quite stressed about where I should belong and was at a loss about my future. One day, I attended an art exhibit at a local museum. It focused on one of the most famous advocates of interdisciplinarity in history: Leonardo da Vinci, an artist, scientist, and inventor. I hung on the words of the museum guide: “Had he not been interested in diverse subjects, his achievements wouldn’t have been so shining.” These simple words renewed my determination. I spoke out my unique perspective to other scholars, emphasizing that I didn’t profess to be an expert in any field. And I was determined to combine knowledge and promote interdisciplinary connections. 4. How did scholars at the conference respond to the author’s introduction? A. They went crazy about his report. B. They were amazed at his young age. C. They were unconcerned about his major. D. They were doubtful about his expertise. 5. What did the professors advise the author to do? A. Narrow his research focus. B. Be innovative in the art field. C. Pursue his passion for learning. D. Turn to distinguished scholars. 6. Why is Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To persuade readers to be his advocates. B. To praise him for his great achievements. C. To explain the reason for the author’s resolve. D. To make a contrast between him and the author. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My advantage of being a jack-of-all-trades. B. My fascination with cognitive neuroscience. C. My journey as an interdisciplinary researcher. D. My struggles of balancing hobbies against work. C A blue hole is a flooded sea cave with a hole that opens up at the land’s surface. These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands. Far below sea level they contain some of the toughest environments on Earth, with no oxygen and no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have adapted to the extreme conditions. Blue holes get their name from the color that some cave holes have when seen from the air. The color is usually a reflection of the sky on the water. But not all of these cave systems have blue surfaces. Some contain dark or muddy water. They have several layers (层) of water, chemicals and bacteria. The top layer of freshwater comes from rainfall. This layer acts like a cap on top of the layered mixture and keeps out oxygen from the atmosphere. The fresh water floats on a denser (密度大的) layer of saltwater. Underneath this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide, produced by bacteria living in the water. Underneath this layer is an anoxic seawater—water that does not contain any oxygen. Kenny Broad is an anthropologist at the University of Miami in Florida. He has spent several years exploring underwater caves in the Bahamas. He says, “Underwater caves are probably one of the least understood ecosystems on the planet. One of the reasons is that you still physically have to go there, you can’t send in a submarine (潜水艇) or a mode operated vehicle, some autonomous machine. You need to go there.” There are many safety rules that divers must follow to help ensure their survival. First, divers must have training and experience to swim in these caves. Divers who explore a cave for the first time must establish a thin rope called a guideline. This line helps them to safely enter and exit the cave without getting lost. Divers must also bring several light sources in case one fails. They also must bring more than one set of breathing equipment in case one device fails. And, they must pay careful attention to their air supply as well. 8. What do we learn about blue holes? A. They are blue seen from the air. B. They have severe conditions. C. They contain oxygen and light. D. They do not have life forms. 9. What is “Hydrogen sulfide” in paragraph 3 in a blue hole? A. Liquid. B. Gas C. Solid D. Bacteria 10. What does Kenny Broad think of the caves? A. Poisonous. B. Autonomous. C. Mysterious. D. Unreachable. 11. What is essential to new cave divers according to the last paragraph? A. A guideline. B. Food sources. C. Water supply. D. Swimming suits. D Traditional theories have assumed that in language development, acquiring phonetic (语音的) information means learning to produce and understand these different sounds and recognizing how they form words and convey meaning. Babies were believed to learn these individual sound elements to construct words. However, recent research suggests a different approach to understanding how babies learn languages. “We believe that speech rhythm (节奏) information is the hidden glue supporting the development of a well-functioning language system,” said study co-author Usha Goswami. To understand whether that was the case, the researchers had 50 babies at 4, 7 and11 months old watch a video of a primary school teacher singing 18 nursery rhymes. In a carefully controlled environment, the baby participants were presented with 18nursery rhymes played via video recordings. These rhymes, sung by a native English speaker, were selected carefully to cover a range of phonetic features. The sounds were delivered at a consistent volume. Then the researchers used a method called EEG, which involved placing a soft cap with sensors on each baby's head to measure their brainwaves. The brainwave data was then analyzed to obtain the phonological information, allowing the researchers to create a “readout” of how the babies’ brains were processing the different sounds in the nursery rhymes. Contrary to what was previously thought, the researchers found that babies don't process individual speech sounds reliably until they're about 7 months old. Even at 11 months old, when many babies start to say their first words, the processing of these sounds is still rare. However, rhythmic speech information was processed by the babies as early as 2 months old, and this processing predicted later language outcomes. The study stresses the importance of parents talking and singing to their babies, using rhythmic speech patterns. The study opens up new ways for exploring how early speech processing relates to language disorders. This could be particularly significant in understanding and potentially handling these conditions early in life. However, the research focused on a specific group of babies without developmental disorders, mainly from an English-speaking environment. Future research could look into how babies from different backgrounds, or those with developmental challenges, process speech. 12. What is the key to language learning according to the recent study? A. The formation of the words. B. The individual speech sounds. C. The meanings of single words. D. The speech rhythm information. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The ages of the subjects. B. The features of the subjects. C. The result of the research. D. The process of the research. 14. What is the suggestion for parents with 2-month-old babies in paragraph 4? A. Singing nursery rhymes. B. Saying academic words. C. Using complex sentences. D. Teaching individual sounds. 15. What should future study focus on? A. Improving the learning environment. B. Increasing the diversity of the subjects. C Finding a cure for babies with disorders. D. Analyzing features of perfect speech. 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。 Improved technology has enabled many corporations to operate internationally. These companies have entered foreign markets. ____16____ This has driven many businesses to include cultural intelligence as a qualification for promotion and employment. Psychologists have developed ways to measure and improve an employee’s cultural intelligence quotient (商) (CQ). CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar to intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. ____17____ And it also checks personal knowledge of situations where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness of an employee’s plans for dealing with sensitive situations and the ability to put strategies to practical use. As we all know, IQ is largely unchangeable. ____18____ Generally, CQ can be improved by training. People going through the training could score higher in CQ tests than those who don’t receive such training. These individuals generally accept belief systems other than their own. ____19____ For those with only occasional contact with members of a certain group, one night of reading may be enough to learn the basics of polite/impolite behavior of that culture. Those who make frequent trips may need to do more in-depth research. Online reading and conversations with foreign people are good approaches to enhancing cultural intelligence. After learning about cultural differences, those with high CQ often develop plans to apply that knowledge to social interactions. Often, they examine their typical behaviors and compare them to the normal behaviors of another culture. For example, a person usually greeting business associates with a hug would attempt to predict the effects of that behavior on members of a society that’s more protective of personal space. ____20____ A. Like IQ, CQ is also important. B. In contrast, CQ is quite different. C. Thus, their workers need cultural sensitivity. D. He would then adjust his behavior accordingly. E. CQ testing can improve one’s cultural intelligence. F. Improving cultural knowledge can easily increase CQ. G. CQ testing measures one’s desire to be culturally sensitive. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As the days became warmer, birds could be seen to fly over my yard.

From clocks that wouldn’t tick to bikes that had lost their click, Carlos could mend almost anything and the locals would say, “If Carlo s can’t fix it, then it can’t be fixed.” Carlos had a son named Luis who admired his father’s talent but had his heart set on music. He would spend hours sitting outside the shop, playing the guitar, filling the air with melodies. Carlos loved his son’s music, but he often worried about his future. “Music is your passion, son, but fixing things is a steady trade”, he would say. One day, the neighborhood’s joy was affected by the news that the beloved park, where children played and families gathered, was going to be closed down. “It’s old and unsafe,” the city officials said. “It would take too much to fix it.” The community was heartbroken because the park was where memories were made. Carlos and Luis walked through the park sadly. As they passed the silent swings and the rusty (生锈的) slide, an idea began to form in Luis’ mind. “What if we fix the park, Dad? We could do it together!” But Carlos shook his head, “It’s a big job, dear. Bigger than any we’ve done before.” Instead of being in despair, Luis organized a concert in the park to raise awareness and funds. The whole neighborhood came to hear him play, their spirits lifted by his songs of hope and unity. After the concert, Carlos stood up, moved by the community’s outpouring of love for the park and their shared moments under the stars. 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。 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Park was saved due to the city official’s support. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023 学年第二学期高二年级教学质量监测 英语 本试卷共12页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、学校、班级、座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上并用2B铅笔在答题卡的相应位置填涂考生号。 2.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。 3.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。 4.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。 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Whether you’re looking to start near or far, there are a lot of attractive holiday destinations.

D. student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee. (我向别人打招呼，并介绍自己是一名心理学博士生，将展示大脑对艺术的反应。一位杰出的学者说：“你为什么在这里？你看起来有点格格不入。”沉默消失了，然后响起了这样的窃窃私语，只是因为我是一个跨学科的与会者。)”可知，会议上的学者们对作者的介绍持怀疑态度，认为他作为一个跨学科的参与者似乎有点不合时宜。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Years earlier, when I was a student in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经学), my professors advised me, “Choose one interest and pursue a single goal.” (几年前，当我还是一名认知神经科学专业的学生时，我的教授建议我：“选择一个兴趣，追求一个目标。”)”可知，教授们建议作者缩小研究范围，专注于一个兴趣目标。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“I felt quite stressed about where I should belong and was at a loss about my future.

I spoke out my unique perspective to other scholars, emphasizing that I didn’t profess to be an expert in any field. And I was determined to combine knowledge and promote interdisciplinary connections. (这些简单的话使我重新下定决心。我向其他学者说出了我的独特观点，强调我不自称是任何领域的专家。我决心将知识结合起来，促进跨学科的联系。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者作为一位跨学科研究者的心路历程，从最初不被理解的困境到重新坚定信念，致力于促进不同领域知识的结合。因此，“My journey as an interdisciplinary researcher. (我作为跨学科研究者的旅程)”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。 C A blue hole is a flooded sea cave with a hole that opens up at the land’s surface. These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands.

Blue holes get their name from the color that some cave holes have when seen from the air. The color is usually a reflection of the sky on the water. But not all of these cave systems have blue surfaces. Some contain dark or muddy water. They have several layers (层) of water, chemicals and bacteria. The top layer of freshwater comes from rainfall. This layer acts like a cap on top of the layered mixture and keeps out oxygen from the atmosphere. The fresh water floats on a denser (密度大的) layer of saltwater. Underneath this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide, produced by bacteria living in the water. Underneath this layer is an anoxic seawater—water that does not contain any oxygen. Kenny Broad is an anthropologist at the University of Miami in Florida. He has spent several years exploring underwater caves in the Bahamas. He says, “Underwater caves are probably one of the least understood ecosystems on the planet. One of the reasons is that you still physically have to go there, you can’t send in a submarine (潜水艇) or a mode operated vehicle, some autonomous machine. You need to go there.” There are many safety rules that divers must follow to help ensure their survival. First, divers must have training and experience to swim in these caves. Divers who explore a cave for the first time must establish a thin rope called a guideline. This line helps them to safely enter and exit the cave without getting lost. Divers must also bring several light sources in case one fails. They also must bring more than one set of breathing equipment in case one device fails. And, they must pay careful attention to their air supply as well. 8. What do we learn about blue holes? A. They are blue seen from the air. B. They have severe conditions. C. They contain oxygen and light. D. They do not have life forms. 9. What is “Hydrogen sulfide” in paragraph 3 in a blue hole? A. Liquid. B. Gas C. Solid D. Bacteria 10. What does Kenny Broad think of the caves? A. Poisonous. B. Autonomous. C. Mysterious. D. Unreachable. 11. What is essential to new cave divers according to the last paragraph? A. A guideline. B. Food sources. C. Water supply. D. Swimming suits. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章主要介绍了蓝洞的形成、特点、内部结构、探索挑战以及对潜水者的安全要求。 8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands. Far below sea level they contain some of the toughest environments on Earth, with no oxygen and no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have adapted to the extreme conditions. (这些洞穴系统形成于碳酸盐岩中，通常在岛屿上。远低于海平面的地方有着地球上最艰苦的环境，没有氧气也没有光线。)”可知，蓝洞是在地下的洞穴系统，含有极端的环境，没有氧气也没有光。因它们有严峻的条件。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“The fresh water floats on a denser (密度大的) layer of saltwater. Underneath this is a layer of poisonous (淡水漂浮在密度更大的咸水层上。下面是一层有毒的)”、“produced by bacteria living in the water (是由生活在水中的细菌产生的)”可知，hydrogen sulfide是一种由生活在水中的细菌产生的有毒物质，由于它由细菌产生，因此最合理的推断是它是一种气体。A. Liquid液体；B. Gas气体；C. Solid固体；D. Bacteria细菌。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Kenny Broad is an anthropologist at the University of Miami in Florida. He has spent several years exploring underwater caves in the Bahamas. He says, “Underwater caves are probably one of the least understood ecosystems on the planet. One of the reasons is that you still physically have to go there, you can’t send in a submarine (潜水艇) or a mode operated vehicle, some autonomous machine. You need to go there.” (肯尼·布罗德是佛罗里达州迈阿密大学的人类学家。他花了几年时间探索巴哈马群岛的水下洞穴。他说：“水下洞穴可能是地球上最不为人所知的生态系统之一。其中一个原因是，你仍然需要亲自去那里，你不能派出潜艇或模式操作的车辆，一些自动机器。你需要去那里。”)”可知，肯尼·布罗德认为水下洞穴可能是地球上最少被了解的生态系统之一，这表明他认为这些洞穴是神秘的。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Divers who explore a cave for the first time must establish a thin rope called a guideline. This line helps them to safely enter and exit the cave without getting lost. (第一次探索洞穴的潜水员必须准备一根细绳，叫做指导向绳。这条线帮助它们安全进出洞穴而不会迷路。)”可知，对新洞穴潜水员来说，准备一条称为导向绳的细绳是必要的，这能帮助他们安全进出洞穴而不迷路。故选A。 D Traditional theories have assumed that in language development, acquiring phonetic (语音的) information means learning to produce and understand these different sounds and recognizing how they form words and convey meaning. Babies were believed to learn these individual sound elements to construct words. However, recent research suggests a different approach to understanding how babies learn languages. “We believe that speech rhythm (节奏) information is the hidden glue supporting the development of a well-functioning language system,” said study co-author Usha Goswami. To understand whether that was the case, the researchers had 50 babies at 4, 7 and11 months old watch a video of a primary school teacher singing 18 nursery rhymes. In a carefully controlled environment, the baby participants were presented with 18nursery rhymes played via video recordings. These rhymes, sung by a native English speaker, were selected carefully to cover a range of phonetic features. The sounds were delivered at a consistent volume. Then the researchers used a method called EEG, which involved placing a soft cap with sensors on each baby's head to measure their brainwaves. The brainwave data was then analyzed to obtain the phonological information, allowing the researchers to create a “readout” of how the babies’ brains were processing the different sounds in the nursery rhymes. Contrary to what was previously thought, the researchers found that babies don't process individual speech sounds reliably until they're about 7 months old. Even at 11 months old, when many babies start to say their first words, the processing of these sounds is still rare. However, rhythmic speech information was processed by the babies as early as 2 months old, and this processing predicted later language outcomes. The study stresses the importance of parents talking and singing to their babies, using rhythmic speech patterns. The study opens up new ways for exploring how early speech processing relates to language disorders. This could be particularly significant in understanding and potentially handling these conditions early in life. However, the research focused on a specific group of babies without developmental disorders, mainly from an English-speaking environment. Future research could look into how babies from different backgrounds, or those with developmental challenges, process speech. 12. What is the key to language learning according to the recent study? A. The formation of the words. B. The individual speech sounds. C. The meanings of single words. D. The speech rhythm information. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The ages of the subjects. B. The features of the subjects. C. The result of the research. D. The process of the research. 14. What is the suggestion for parents with 2-month-old babies in paragraph 4? A. Singing nursery rhymes. B. Saying academic words. C. Using complex sentences. D. Teaching individual sounds. 15. What should future study focus on? A. Improving the learning environment. B. Increasing the diversity of the subjects. C. Finding a cure for babies with disorders. D. Analyzing features of perfect speech. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了婴儿语言学习的关键因素。传统理论认为，语言发展中的语音信息获取意味着学会产生和理解不同的声音，并识别它们如何构成单词和传达意义。然而，最近的研究表明，语言节奏信息可能是支持语言系统良好发展的隐藏粘合剂。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We believe that speech rhythm (节奏) information is the hidden glue supporting the development of a well-functioning language system (我们相信，语音节奏信息是支持良好运作语言系统发展的潜在粘合剂)”可知，最新研究认为语言学习的核心是语言节奏信息。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To understand whether that was the case, the researchers had 50 babies at 4, 7 and 11 months old watch a video of a primary school teacher singing 18 nursery rhymes. In a carefully controlled environment, the baby participants were presented with 18 nursery rhymes played via video recordings. These rhymes, sung by a native English speaker, were selected carefully to cover a range of phonetic features. The sounds were delivered at a consistent volume. Then the researchers used a method called EEG, which involved placing a soft cap with sensors on each baby's head to measure their brainwaves. The brainwave data was then analyzed to obtain the phonological information, allowing the researchers to create a “readout” of how the babies’ brains were processing the different sounds in the nursery rhymes. (为了了解是否确实如此，研究人员让50名4个月、7个月和11个月大婴儿观看一位小学教师唱18首儿歌的视频。在严格控制的环境中，婴儿参与者通过视频录像听到了18首儿歌。这些由以英语为母语的人演唱的儿歌经过精心挑选，涵盖了一系列语音特征。声音以一致的音量播放。然后，研究人员使用了一种名为EEG的方法，该方法涉及在每个婴儿的头上放置一个带有传感器的软帽，以测量他们的脑电波。随后分析了脑电波数据，以获得音系信息，从而使研究人员能够创建出婴儿大脑如何处理儿歌中不同声音的“读出”。)”可知，第三段描述了研究者如何通过视频让不同月龄的婴儿观看老师唱童谣，并通过EEG方法测量他们的脑波，以获取音韵信息，从而了解婴儿大脑如何处理童谣中的不同声音。因此，这一段主要介绍了研究的过程。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The study stresses the importance of parents talking and singing to their babies, using rhythmic speech patterns. (这项研究强调了父母与婴儿交谈和唱歌的重要性，使用有节奏的语言模式。)”可知，研究强调父母应该用有节奏的语言模式与婴儿交谈和唱歌，对于2个月大的婴儿，父母可以通过唱童谣来刺激语言学习。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the research focused on a specific group of babies without developmental disorders, mainly from an English-speaking environment. Future research could look into how babies from different backgrounds, or those with developmental challenges, process speech. (然而，这项研究主要关注了一个特定的没有发展障碍的婴儿群体，他们主要来自讲英语的环境。未来的研究可以探讨来自不同背景的婴儿，或者那些有发展挑战的婴儿，是如何处理语音的。)”可知，目前的研究集中在没有发展障碍、主要来自英语环境的特定婴儿群体上。未来的研究可以探讨来自不同背景或具有发展挑战的婴儿如何处理语言。因此，未来的研究应该关注增加研究对象的多样性。故选B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。 Improved technology has enabled many corporations to operate internationally. These companies have entered foreign markets. ____16____ This has driven many businesses to include cultural intelligence as a qualification for promotion and employment. Psychologists have developed ways to measure and improve an employee’s cultural intelligence quotient (商) (CQ). CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar to intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. ____17____ And it also checks personal knowledge of situations where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness of an employee’s plans for dealing with sensitive situations and the ability to put strategies to practical use. As we all know, IQ is largely unchangeable. ____18____ Generally, CQ can be improved by training. People going through the training could score higher in CQ tests than those who don’t receive such training. These individuals generally accept belief systems other than their own. ____19____ For those with only occasional contact with members of a certain group, one night of reading may be enough to learn the basics of polite/impolite behavior of that culture. Those who make frequent trips may need to do more in-depth research. Online reading and conversations with foreign people are good approaches to enhancing cultural intelligence. After learning about cultural differences, those with high CQ often develop plans to apply that knowledge to social interactions. Often, they examine their typical behaviors and compare them to the normal behaviors of another culture. For example, a person usually greeting business associates with a hug would attempt to predict the effects of that behavior on members of a society that’s more protective of personal space. ____20____ A. Like IQ, CQ is also important. B. In contrast, CQ is quite different. C. Thus, their workers need cultural sensitivity. D. He would then adjust his behavior accordingly. E. CQ testing can improve one’s cultural intelligence. F. Improving cultural knowledge can easily increase CQ. G. CQ testing measures one’s desire to be culturally sensitive. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了文化智商（CQ）的概念、测量方式、与IQ的区别、提升方法及其在国际企业运营中的重要性。 【16题详解】 由上文“Improved technology has enabled many corporations to operate internationally.

(因此，他们的员工需要文化敏感性。)”符合逻辑，因为进入国际市场的公司其员工必须理解并尊重不同的文化习俗，能承接上文。故选C。 【17题详解】 由上文“CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar to intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. (CQ通常使用类似于智商测试的书面评估来衡量。)”和下文“And it also checks personal knowledge of situations where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness of an employee’s plans for dealing with sensitive situations and the ability to put strategies to practical use. (此外，它还评估员工处理敏感情况的计划的有效性以及将策略付诸实际使用的能力。)”可知，本空应该描述CQ测试的内容或方式。G选项“CQ testing measures one’s desire to be culturally sensitive. (CQ测试衡量一个人对文化敏感性的渴望。)”能承上启下，进一步阐述了CQ测试的一个方面。故选G。 【18题详解】 由上文“As we all know, IQ is largely unchangeable. (智商很大程度上是不可改变的。)”和下文的“Generally, CQ can be improved by training. (一般来说，CQ可以通过训练来提高。)”可知，本空为一个转折，B选项“In contrast, CQ is quite different. (相比之下，CQ则截然不同。)”引出CQ是“可以改变的”这一特性，承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 由下文“For those with only occasional contact with members of a certain group, one night of reading may be enough to learn the basics of polite/impolite behavior of that culture. (对于那些偶尔接触某个群体成员的人来说，一个晚上的阅读就足以了解该文化的基本礼貌/不礼貌行为。)”可知，下文说明了提高文化知识的简易方法。F选项“Improving cultural knowledge can easily increase CQ. (提高文化知识可以轻松提高CQ。)”概括了这段的主旨，即提高CQ的一个有效途径是提高文化知识。故选F。 【20题详解】 由上文“After learning about cultural differences, those with high CQ often develop plans to apply that knowledge to social interactions. Often, they examine their typical behaviors and compare them to the normal behaviors of another culture. For example, a person usually greeting business associates with a hug would attempt to predict the effects of that behavior on members of a society that’s more protective of personal space. (在了解了文化差异之后，那些文化智商高的人通常会制定计划，将这些知识应用到社会交往中。通常，他们会检查自己的典型行为，并将其与另一种文化的正常行为进行比较。例如，一个通常用拥抱问候商业伙伴的人，会试图预测这种行为对更注重个人空间的社会成员的影响。)”可知，上文举例说明了一个有高CQ的人如何预测自己行为对他人的影响，接下来应该描述基于这种预测的行动调整。D选项“He would then adjust his behavior accordingly. (然后，他会相应地调整自己的行为。)”说明了具体的行为改变，承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As the days became warmer, birds could be seen to fly over my yard.

From clocks that wouldn’t tick to bikes that had lost their click, Carlos could mend almost anything and the locals would say, “If Carlo s can’t fix it, then it can’t be fixed.” Carlos had a son named Luis who admired his father’s talent but had his heart set on music. He would spend hours sitting outside the shop, playing the guitar, filling the air with melodies. Carlos loved his son’s music, but he often worried about his future. “Music is your passion, son, but fixing things is a steady trade”, he would say. One day, the neighborhood’s joy was affected by the news that the beloved park, where children played and families gathered, was going to be closed down. “It’s old and unsafe,” the city officials said. “It would take too much to fix it.” The community was heartbroken because the park was where memories were made. Carlos and Luis walked through the park sadly. As they passed the silent swings and the rusty (生锈的) slide, an idea began to form in Luis’ mind. “What if we fix the park, Dad? We could do it together!” But Carlos shook his head, “It’s a big job, dear. Bigger than any we’ve done before.” Instead of being in despair, Luis organized a concert in the park to raise awareness and funds. The whole neighborhood came to hear him play, their spirits lifted by his songs of hope and unity. After the concert, Carlos stood up, moved by the community’s outpouring of love for the park and their shared moments under the stars. 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。 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Park was saved due to the city official’s support. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd.

Carlos continued, “Together, we will make this park shine again. We’ll use my skills to mend the broken structures and Luis’ music to inspire and unite us.” The neighbors nodded in agreement, ready to roll up their sleeves and contribute in any way they could. The Park was saved due to the city officials’ support, but it was the collective efforts of the community that truly made the difference. After hearing about the concert and the passionate speeches made by Carlos and Luis, the officials were touched by the residents’ dedication to preserving their cherished space. They agreed to provide necessary funding and resources, recognizing the value of the park as a hub for community bonding and childhood memories.
