B Our first welcome to the UK wasn’t from the staff of Heathrow Airport or the coach driver who entered into our lives to take us to our new city and new home for the next three weeks. It was, in fact, the noisy and energetic seagulls full of songs that flew down to us. When we left from the plane’s exit passage, we still could hear their loud and clear songs through the glasses. It was amazing that they lifted our spirits and cheered us up after our stupidly long and awful journey. These seagulls welcomed us Chinese people into their home with open wings and if they could speak instead of merely squawk. I’m sure we would have struck up some bright and harmonious relationship. They liked to hover overhead around with childlike greetings they sang or just simply walk fearlessly close to our feet. Some of us saved bread our host family prepared in the lunchboxes for these friends. And lovely, we would like to share what we have for the rest of eternity. But Julie, the mother of my host family, who then I stayed with, does not think so. Strangely as well, she could not give any reasons. The closed and squawk-proof double-glazing (window used to keep noise out) explains. Perhaps she prefers to sleep with her windows open but she always fails to do that, because those birds seemed to like staying up till next morning, wholly screaming for her on and on. And they decide to keep doing so every single night. Furthermore, every time she has to wash the marble floor of the gardens, Julie would look up around and swear to the droppings shortly followed by a smile on her face towards me and said. “They are friendly to you.” But stop thinking that she hates the creatures and never plans to have a change, because there is another side to her evident feelings towards the birds. We will do some shopping at weekends and every time there Julie doesn’t forget to put a big bag of wild birdseed into her carriage which costs quite more than milks or juices for one week. I can see what it goes for since she refills the wild bird feeder before a big hurry to drive to work every morning and when working she knows what is happening back at home — seagulls are enjoying the seed and leaving for next morning. I’m leaving soon and not likely. I guess, though I hope not, to get back to see my friends here in England in the future. I said I would miss all friends living here including the seagulls. And when Julie was refilling the feeder again, she said “They’re nice but they are not my friends.” 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The seagulls were more energetic and friendly than the local people. B. They felt surprised to find many seagulls there shortly after they landed. C. They felt disappointed at not being welcomed by any local people as they landed. D. They didn’t like to be welcomed by the seagulls because they were noisy and stupid. 5. Julie said the seagulls were nice but not her friends for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______. A. the seagulls disturbed her every night B. the seagulls dirtied her garden C. the seagulls were friendly to her guests D. the birdseeds were not cheap 6. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Birds in London B. Feed What You Want to Kill C. Birds Can Welcome D. Bite the Hand that Feed You 7. The passage is most possibly taken from ______. A. a magazine about birds B. a brochure about London C. an advertisement attracting visitors to London D. a magazine about travelling C People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer — not whether they volunteer — is what really counts． For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people, Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well — only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers． But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths． Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.” 8. What does the new study mainly find? A. Whether we volunteer decides our well-being. B. Why we volunteer has an impact on our health. C. How we volunteer makes sense to others. D. How often we volunteer makes a difference. 9. How did the researchers do the research? A. By analyzing statistics. B. By reviewing previous studies. C. By doing lab experiments. D. By observing random samples. 10. Which of the following motives will probably benefit the volunteers most? A. Making more friends. B. Developing ability in practice. C. Solving personal problems. D. Helping people in trouble. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Practical suggestions on further studies. B. Potential applications of the research method. C. A further explanation of the current findings. D. A reasonable doubt about the research findings. D Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s rally the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface. The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90%, of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan, the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said NadyaShiffer, Swot’s program scientist. By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific, points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible. “Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader. 12. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water. 13. What is the major mission of Swot satellite? A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2. B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being. C. To identify when global warming is worsened. D. To study how oceans influence climate change. 14. What is an advantage Swot has over previous satellites? A. It fills in data gaps automatically by extrapolation. B. It contributes to mapping the observation accurately. C. It covers specific rivers and oceans in one dimension. D. It keeps track of the weather change at any time of day. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. First Global Water Survey from Space B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel. D. A Solution to Climate Change 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are numerous reasons why people don’t take First Aid training programs. ____16____ Or they think that accidents happen to other people, not to them or their friends, family and colleagues.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’ First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (手倒立) if anyone got a perfect score. Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased ‘-ty’ and wrote ‘-ly’ before handing in her paper. Ms. McCormack graded the papers while the students were at rest. After a break, Magen hurried into the classroom, sitting in her seat nervously—Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Magen! You did it!” Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet flipped into the air. The whole class erupted! Ms. McCormack presented Magen with her prize. A big smile spread across Magen’s face as she read the label on the box: To Magen Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Everything OK?” Mom asked as Magen burst through the front door after school. “Everything’s perfect!” Magen shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Mom hugged her. “Well done, Magen” Magen scooped up (抱起) her cat. “Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honestly, and…” It suddenly occurred to her that she had misspelled the word. Rooted to the spot, Magen reflected on how she could tell the whole class she shouldn’t have earned the prize at all. She dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. “If I put the missing ‘t’ back in, no one would ever know,” she thought. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Aware that there was something wrong with Magen, Mom knocked on the door and entered her room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, arriving early at school, Magen pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 汽开三中2023--2024学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项：本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共6页，总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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.

Some of us saved bread our host family prepared in the lunchboxes for these friends. And lovely, we would like to share what we have for the rest of eternity. But Julie, the mother of my host family, who then I stayed with, does not think so. Strangely as well, she could not give any reasons. The closed and squawk-proof double-glazing (window used to keep noise out) explains. Perhaps she prefers to sleep with her windows open but she always fails to do that, because those birds seemed to like staying up till next morning, wholly screaming for her on and on. And they decide to keep doing so every single night. Furthermore, every time she has to wash the marble floor of the gardens, Julie would look up around and swear to the droppings shortly followed by a smile on her face towards me and said. “They are friendly to you.” But stop thinking that she hates the creatures and never plans to have a change, because there is another side to her evident feelings towards the birds. We will do some shopping at weekends and every time there Julie doesn’t forget to put a big bag of wild birdseed into her carriage which costs quite more than milks or juices for one week. I can see what it goes for since she refills the wild bird feeder before a big hurry to drive to work every morning and when working she knows what is happening back at home — seagulls are enjoying the seed and leaving for next morning. I’m leaving soon and not likely. I guess, though I hope not, to get back to see my friends here in England in the future. I said I would miss all friends living here including the seagulls. And when Julie was refilling the feeder again, she said “They’re nice but they are not my friends.” 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The seagulls were more energetic and friendly than the local people. B. They felt surprised to find many seagulls there shortly after they landed. C. They felt disappointed at not being welcomed by any local people as they landed. D. They didn’t like to be welcomed by the seagulls because they were noisy and stupid. 5. Julie said the seagulls were nice but not her friends for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______. A. the seagulls disturbed her every night B. the seagulls dirtied her garden C. the seagulls were friendly to her guests D. the birdseeds were not cheap 6. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Birds in London B. Feed What You Want to Kill C. Birds Can Welcome D. Bite the Hand that Feed You 7. The passage is most possibly taken from ______. A. a magazine about birds B. a brochure about London C. an advertisement attracting visitors to London D. a magazine about travelling 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在去英国旅行时，发现当地的海鸥与众不同。它们不怕人，但是也给女房东Julie带去了一些麻烦。文章描述了Julie和海鸥之间亦敌亦友的关系，以及作者最后离开时表示自己将会想念住在这里的所有朋友，包括海鸥。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“the noisy and energetic seagulls full of songs that flew down to us. When left from the planes’ exits passage, we still could hear their loud and clear songs through the glasses. (吵吵嚷嚷、精力充沛、唱着歌向我们飞来的海鸥。当我们离开飞机的出口通道时，我们仍然可以通过玻璃听到他们响亮而清晰的歌声)”可推知，作者他们刚着陆就惊讶地发现那里有海鸥。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“those birds seemed to like staying up till next morning, wholly screaming for her on and on (那些鸟儿似乎喜欢熬夜到第二天早上，为她不停地尖叫)”以及“every time she has to wash the marble floor of the gardens, Julie would look up around and swear to the droppings shortly followed by a smile on her face towards me and said: “They are friendly to you.” (每当Julie不得不擦洗花园的大理石地板时，她都会抬头看向四周，因为海鸥的粪便而咒骂海鸥，并苦笑着对我说：“它们对你很友好”)”可推知，Julie说海鸥很好，但不是她的朋友，是因为它们彻夜不停地叫打扰她休息，鸟粪弄脏了花园的大理石以及它们对她的客人很友好，而并不是因为鸟食不便宜。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据整篇文章内容，特别是倒数第二段中的“because there is another side to her evident feelings towards the birds.(因为她对鸟儿明显的感情还有另一面)”结合本文主要讲述了作者去英格兰旅游时寄宿家庭的女主人Julie对海鸥的又爱又恨——虽然整夜被它们吵得睡不着觉、鸟粪还弄脏了她的花园，但她还是去买鸟食喂它们的故事，故B项（喂你想杀了的东西）最符合文章标题。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合文章最后一段“I’m leaving soon and not likely, I guess, though I hope not, to get back to see my friends here in England in the future. (我很快就要离开了，我想，虽然我不希望，但我不太可能在未来回来见我在英国的朋友)”可知，本文讲的是旅游时的见闻，属于一篇游记，所以最有可能出现在旅游杂志中。故选D项。 C People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer — not whether they volunteer — is what really counts． For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people, Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well — only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers． But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths． Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.” 8. What does the new study mainly find? A. Whether we volunteer decides our well-being. B. Why we volunteer has an impact on our health. C. How we volunteer makes sense to others. D. How often we volunteer makes a difference. 9. How did the researchers do the research? A. By analyzing statistics. B. By reviewing previous studies. C. By doing lab experiments. D. By observing random samples. 10. Which of the following motives will probably benefit the volunteers most? A. Making more friends. B. Developing ability in practice. C. Solving personal problems. D. Helping people in trouble. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Practical suggestions on further studies. B. Potential applications of the research method. C. A further explanation of the current findings. D. A reasonable doubt about the research findings. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者分析了做志愿者对我们健康的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer — not whether they volunteer — is what really counts.”（研究表明，付出的人活得更长。现在，密歇根大学的一项新研究表明，人们为什么自愿而不是是否自愿才是真正重要的。）可知，新的研究主要发现为什么我们做志愿者会对我们的健康产生影响。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well — only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.”(在这项研究中，康拉斯及其同事分析了2008年和2012年收集的数据，这些数据针对的是3766人的相同随机样本。总体而言，他们发现在那些曾经担任志愿者的人中，只有2.3%的人死亡，而非志愿者的这一比例为4.3%。他们进一步发现，志愿者的数量也很重要—只有1.8%的常规志愿者死亡，而偶尔的志愿者只有2.5%。)可知，研究人员通过分析统计数据进行了这项研究。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive.”（研究人员要求人们对志愿服务的各种原因的重要性进行评分，他们发现人们对同情有困难的人等原因的评分越重要，他们活着的可能性就越大。）可知，帮助有困难的人是有助于志愿者的动机，可延长寿命。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them.”（康拉斯说，目前的研究结果表明，因为对人们有好处就鼓励人们做志愿者，这可能是个糟糕的主意。）和“But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.”（但如果自我利益成为一个人的主要动机，那么志愿服务对健康的潜在益处就会显著降低）可知，前几段介绍了做志愿者可以使人们更长寿，最后一段又介绍了做志愿者的进一步影响，说明最后一段是对当前调查结果的进一步解释。故选C项。 D Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s rally the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface. The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90%, of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan, the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said NadyaShiffer, Swot’s program scientist. By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific, points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible. “Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader. 12. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water. 13. What is the major mission of Swot satellite? A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2. B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being. C. To identify when global warming is worsened. D. To study how oceans influence climate change. 14. What is an advantage Swot has over previous satellites? A. It fills in data gaps automatically by extrapolation. B. It contributes to mapping the observation accurately. C. It covers specific rivers and oceans in one dimension. D. It keeps track of the weather change at any time of day. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. First Global Water Survey from Space B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel. D. A Solution to Climate Change 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Swot卫星将对地球表面几乎所有的水进行观测时它的主要任务和先进之处。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“It’s rally the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.”（这是第一次观测到地球表面几乎所有的水）可知，Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射是为了对地球表面几乎所有的水进行观测，推断出文章中提到的“重要资源”是指水资源。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change.”（主要任务是探索海洋如何在调节气候变化的自然过程中吸收大气热量和二氧化碳）可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋在气候调节过程中的作用，换句话说就是要研究海洋是如何影响气候改变的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“ Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.”（得益于雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使科学家能够在不考虑天气或时间的情况下准确地绘制二维观测图，并以比以前更快的速度覆盖大的地理区域）可知，Swot与以前的卫星相比的优势是它有助于准确绘制观测图。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe.It’s rally the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.”（Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高度表面测量结果。这是第一次观测到地球表面几乎所有的水）可知，文章主要介绍了Swot卫星将从外太空首次对地球表面几乎所有的水进行观测。因此A项“首次从太空进行全球水资源调查”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are numerous reasons why people don’t take First Aid training programs. ____16____ Or they think that accidents happen to other people, not to them or their friends, family and colleagues.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述参加急救培训是必要的，并分析了原因。 16题详解】 根据上文“There are numerous reasons why people don’t take First Aid training programs.(人们不参加急救培训课程的原因有很多)”以及后文“Or they think that accidents happen to other people, not to them or their friends, family and colleagues.(或者他们认为事故发生在其他人身上，而不是发生在他们自己或他们的朋友、家人和同事身上)”可知，上文提到人们不参加急救培训项目的原因有很多，接下来举例说明原因，后文Or说明这里列举了两个原因。那么不参加培训应该是因为人们太忙，没有时间，这是其中的一个原因。A项的主语They指代前一句中的people，并且与后一句中的they一致。A选项“他们太忙了”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据本段内容“Having a basic first aid knowledge means that you’ll be confident in your skills and abilities in relation to first aid administration. By taking first aid training, it helps you to reflect on yourself and how you and others react in certain situations. Having this understanding will boost your confidence in a wide range of non-medical day-to-day situations.(有一个基本的急救知识意味着你将对你的技能和能力在急救管理方面有信心。通过接受急救培训，它可以帮助你反思自己，以及你和其他人在某些情况下的反应。有了这方面的了解，你会在日常的非医疗状况中增强信心)”可知，本段主要讲述具备基本的急救知识意味着对自己在急救管理方面的技能和能力充满信心。D选项“它增加了进行急救的信心”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It's true that having first aid training undoubtedly helps save lives.(的确，接受急救训练无疑有助于拯救生命)”以及后文“Giving appropriate first aid immediately can also help to reduce a person's recovery time and make the difference between the patient having a temporary (短暂的) disability and a long term disability.(立即给予适当的急救也可以帮助减少病人的恢复时间，并使患有暂时或长期残疾的患者之间产生差异)”可知，本段主题句是“急救知识不仅有助于拯救生命”，后文则指出立即给予适当的急救也有助于缩短患者的恢复时间，并影响到患者会产生暂时性残疾还是长期残疾。说明本句与上文构成转折，指出有助于拯救生命还不是急救知识的全部。B选项“然而，这还不是全部”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Not all accidents, injuries or illnesses require a trip to the hospital but it doesn't mean they don't cause pain and suffering to the patient.(并非所有的事故、受伤或疾病都需要去医院，但这并不意味着它们不会给病人带来痛苦)”以及后文“By knowing how to act-even just by employing simple techniques such as applying an ice pack correctly, you'll help to relieve his discomfort.(只要知道如何行动——哪怕只是运用一些简单的技巧，比如正确使用冰袋，你就能帮助他减轻不适)”可知，本句提到具体的一个需要急救的人。后文his即G项的A child。G选项“一个因为脚踝扭伤而哭泣的孩子是痛苦的”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“By being able to provide basic care you can stabilize a patient until emergency medical services arrive. You'll learn how to use basic household items as tools to cope with many situations. You'll also be trained in how to collect information and data about what happened and the patients' condition. This information will be passed on to the emergency services, which saves them time.(通过提供基本的护理，你可以在紧急医疗服务到来之前稳定病人的病情。你将学习如何使用基本的家庭用品作为工具来应对许多情况。你还将接受如何收集关于发生了什么和病人情况的信息和数据的培训。这些信息将被传递给紧急服务部门，这就节省了他们的时间)”可知，上文提到你还将接受培训，了解如何收集有关发生事件和患者病情的信息和数据。这些信息将传递给应急服务部门，从而节省他们的时间，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这一行动的意义：你将成为生存链条中有价值的一环。E选项“你将成为生存链条中有价值的一环”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分,，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B，C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Alvin, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane last December when something like litter on the ground caught his eye.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’ First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (手倒立) if anyone got a perfect score. Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased ‘-ty’ and wrote ‘-ly’ before handing in her paper. Ms. McCormack graded the papers while the students were at rest. After a break, Magen hurried into the classroom, sitting in her seat nervously—Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Magen! You did it!” Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet flipped into the air. The whole class erupted! Ms. McCormack presented Magen with her prize. A big smile spread across Magen’s face as she read the label on the box: To Magen Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Everything OK?” Mom asked as Magen burst through the front door after school. “Everything’s perfect!” Magen shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Mom hugged her. “Well done, Magen” Magen scooped up (抱起) her cat. “Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honestly, and…” It suddenly occurred to her that she had misspelled the word. Rooted to the spot, Magen reflected on how she could tell the whole class she shouldn’t have earned the prize at all. She dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. “If I put the missing ‘t’ back in, no one would ever know,” she thought. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Aware that there was something wrong with Magen, Mom knocked on the door and entered her room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, arriving early at school, Magen pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Aware that there was something wrong with Magen, Mom knocked on the door and entered her room. “Where’s your spelling test paper, sweetheart?” Mom asked, gazing at her eagerly. Magen took out the paper and handed it unwillingly to her mom. When Mom spotted “honesly”, Mom frowned, “Probably you don’t deserve the prize.”After thinking for a while, she soon understood what she should do. The next day, arriving early at school, Magen pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack’s office. Hands slightly trembling, Magen gave Ms. McCormack her test paper and the dictionary. Magen confessed her spelling mistake in the test, a pink flush spreading over her cheeks. “I see.” Even though Ms. McCormack tried to contain her emotions, surprise registered on her face. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” instead before handing the prize back to Magen. Magen’s jaw dropped. Ms. McCormack grinned. “For honesty.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Magen在拼写测试中得了100分，赢得班级第一季度的拼写挑战，以及一本附有视频和其他很酷东西的全新词典。她的老师麦科马克还为她表演了倒立，她开心的回到家，却发现自己试卷上的诚实的单词拼写错误，思考该怎么办。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈意识到Magen有点不对劲，便敲了敲门，走进了她的房间。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈发现了Magen的拼写错误，并告诉Magen不应该得到这个奖品。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Magen早早来到学校，推开麦科马克办公室的门。”可知，第二段Magen向她的老师承认拼写错误，归还词典，麦科马克因为Magen的诚实又把词典给了Magen。 2.续写线索：妈妈发现拼写错误——觉得Magen不应该得到奖品——回应妈妈诚实的表现——向老师承认错误——老师因为Magen诚实奖励词典 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.凝视：gaze at/peer at/stare at ②.拿出：take out/fetch out ③.承认：confess/admit 情绪类 ①.感到羞愧的：a pink flush spreading over her cheeks/feel shamefaced ②.惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
