Researching Ocean Creatures in the Maldives The Marine Life Discovery Center in the Maldives is a great place to learn about all kinds of ocean animals. You can join the scientists and help protect the ocean environment. Moreover, the center runs a rescue program for sea turtles. Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them. However, many other kinds of wildlife also end up here. This is a unique place to interact with African animals of all shapes and sizes. Conserving Rhinos (犀牛) in South Africa The two new Marataba Conservation Camps will give you new experiences. Visitors are expected to take part in all research projects and will see wildlife and get to collect related information. Rhino Conservation is at the heart of Marataba, which has wonderful views of the Waterberg Mountains. Finding Rare Animals in New Zealand New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs. You can go to Southland Museum and Art Gallery to meet one or spot them in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Island. 1. What can visitors do in the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary? A. Feed baby elephants. B. Join in elephant rescue programs. C. Carry out research projects. D. Interact with various unique animals. 2. Where are prehistoric animal lovers most likely to go? A. Kenya. B. The Maldives. C. South Africa. D. New Zealand. 3. Why does the author write the text? A. To introduce four special countries. B. To share the author’s animal encounters. C. To recommend some wildlife trips. D. To raise awareness of animal protection. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者介绍了四个能跟野生动物近距离接触的行程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya部分中“Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them.( Reteti大象保护区是孩子们最喜欢的地方。这个中心是为了拯救小象而设立的，游客可以在给小象喂食的同时与它们互动)”可知，在雷泰蒂大象保护区，游客可以喂象宝宝。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs.(新西兰到处都是独特的动物，比如鳄蜥，这种动物在人类文明出现之前就生活在地球上，它的近亲在恐龙时代灭绝了)”可知，史前动物爱好者最有可能会去新西兰。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“There’s no better way for us to learn about the amazing creatures that share our planet than up - close and personal animal encounters.(对我们来说，没有比近距离接触动物更好的方式来了解我们这个星球上的神奇生物了)”以及下文小标题中的“Ocean Creatures”、“Baby Elephants”“Rhinos (犀牛)”、“Rare Animals”可知，本文主要向读者推荐了四个可以和野生动物近距离接触的行程。故选C。 B In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He often switched sports. B. He was a gifted child in sports. C. He had a busy childhood. D. He was fond of sports from childhood. 5. How did the author feel during the semi-final at the World Series? A. Stressed and tired. B. Proud and confident. C. Unbearable and down. D. Surprised and energetic. 6. What was tough for the author according to paragraph 3? A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team. C. Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Interesting Life of Sports B. Life Lessons from Sports C. Deep Affection for Sports D. Special Moments in Sports 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过体育运动获得的人生感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. (在我的童年时代，我的父母会带我去看比赛。我喜欢当我们去看这些比赛时所感受到的兴奋，尤其是当比分在最后关头仍然不相上下的时候。我三岁的时候，就开始有意义地尝试体育运动，从儿童棒球开始，六岁时开始打篮球，从八岁开始，我就对棒球产生了浓厚的兴趣。)”可推知，作者自幼就喜爱体育运动。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! (我最难忘的时刻之一，就是十一岁时我代表德克萨斯响尾蛇队参加世界大赛的时候。七月的酷热让人难以忍受。那是一场半决赛。我们像猪一样汗流浃背，冲进球员休息区进行最后一次击球；我们现在落后一分。我是队里的第二击球手和队长，我已经为这个时刻做好了准备。在接下来的几秒钟里，我有机会通过打出全垒打来展示我作为击球手的力量和在压力下作为领袖的能力！我们赢得了那天的比赛！)”可知，在作者难忘的一场半决赛中，在球队落后一分的情况下，他打出了本垒打，展示了他作为击球员的实力及球队队长的抗压能力，让球队赢得了比赛。通过这些描述，我们可以推断出，作者应是为此感到骄傲自豪的和自信的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. (作为队长，我记得有一次我不得不给我的球队演讲，因为我们输掉了一场重要的比赛。我很紧张，但我知道，当我的团队情绪低落时，我有责任让他们振作起来。这段经历塑造了我的思想，让我变得更加独立，所以我获得了在团队和团队面前像领导者一样说话的能力。体育运动让我明白，你不可能一直在生活中赢得一切。)”可知，作者认为困难的事是带领球队勇敢面对失败。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了作者从小就喜爱体育运动；第二段讲的是作者体育运动中的高光时刻；第三段讲的是体育运动教会作者接受失败；最后一段总结了体育运动教给作者很多东西，且这些经历和记忆将陪伴作者一生。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲述了作者通过体育运动获得的人生感悟，所以B项“Life Lessons from Sports (体育带给我们的人生感悟)”是本文最好的标题。故选B。 C Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there… to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but, when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in a profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair but, upon reflection, you realize that without overcoming those hardships, you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and absolute stupidity all happen to test the limits of you soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smooth, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but meaningless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and failures that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays (背叛) you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful with whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are an unique individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. 8. The first paragraph tells us that ________. A. you will never know who will come into your life B. your life is sometimes influenced deeply by someone C. you need help to judge who you are in life D. you know someone the moment you meet him 9. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ________. A. everything is a test for you B. there is no good luck in life C. nothing happens by chance D. there is a limit to your love 10. The underlined word “ones” refers to ________. A. the people B. the small tests C. the successes D. the bad experiences 11. According to the passage, you are advised to ________. A. set a higher life goal B. open your heart to others C. live everyday to the full D. treat yourself as a great person 12. The writer develops the passage by ________. A. analyzing data B. reasoning C. giving examples D. telling a story 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 12. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述的是我们要感谢生命中遇到的一切，你所遇到的影响你生命的人，你所经历的成功与失败，都有助于塑造和成就你的人生，你可以做任何想做的事来塑造你的人生。创造你自己的人生，并无怨无悔地去过这一生吧。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there… to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.”（有时候，一些人走进你的生活，你马上就知道他们是注定要出现的，为了某种目的，给你上一课，或者帮助你弄清楚你是谁，你想成为什么样的人。）可知，第一段告诉我们，你的生活有时会受到某些人的深刻影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and absolute stupidity all happen to test the limits of you soul.”（万事皆有因。没有什么事情是靠运气发生的。疾病、伤害、爱情、失去真正伟大的时刻和绝对的愚蠢，这些都是对你灵魂极限的考验。）可知，从第四段可以推断出没有什么事情是偶然发生的。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段最后两句“The successes and failures that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones.”（你所经历的成功和失败可以塑造你，而糟糕的经历可以从中吸取教训。事实上，它们可能是最重要的。）可知，最后一句话的主语they指代上文的the bad experiences，故ones指的是the bad experiences。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.”（让每一天都有意义。珍惜每一刻，尽你所能从中汲取一切，因为你可能永远无法再经历一次。）可知，根据文章内容，作者建议你充实地过好每一天。故选C项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要论证其他人走入“我们”的生活，有着这样或那样的意义，生活中的成功和失败都是有原因的，“我们”应该以充满爱的态度和积极的态度面对生活。所以 B 项，“阐述理由”符合题意。A项意为“分析数据”，C项意为“举例子”，D项意为“讲故事”，均不符合题意。故选B项。 D The hole in the ozone (臭氧) layer, one layer of the stratosphere (平流层), began to form over Antarctica in August 2023, causing warnings that a larger-than-average hole could further warm the Southern Ocean while the level of Antarctic sea ice is at a record low. Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December. The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone. The hole has been “recovering” over time and ozone levels over the Antarctic are expected to return to 1980 levels by 2066. The development of the ozone hole in 2023 was not adventitious. The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following. In early August, the formation was about average for the day of the year. This increased rapidly in the next few days, producing one of the largest observed ozone holes for the time of year. The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there. Jucker said he was concerned about the impact of the hole on Antarctic sea ice, which has been at record low levels. 13. What do we know about the Antarctic ozone hole? A. It happens every year. B. It keeps at a balanced level. C. It tends to worsen annually. D. It remains the largest on record. 14. What does the underlined word “adventitious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Unsettled. C. Rare. D. Unexpected. 15. What is the result of the Tonga volcanic explosion according to the last paragraph? A. The disappearance of ozone. B. The atmospheric changes. C. The decrease of water vapour. D. The formation of destructive substances. 16. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Stratosphere Faces New Threats B. Ozone Levels Are Changing Continuously C. Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual D. Volcanic Explosion Produces Global Effect 【答案】13. A 14. D 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是由于汤加海底火山的爆发引起大气变化，2023年南极洲上空臭氧空洞提前出现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone.(臭氧空洞是臭氧浓度很高的结构层臭氧层每年变薄的现象)”可知，南极臭氧空洞每年都会发生，故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following.(在厄尔尼诺年期间，臭氧空洞通常较小，但Jucker的模型显示，由于2022年汤加海底火山爆发，2023年臭氧空洞将比平时更大，这可能会在接下来的几年里对臭氧层产生影响)”可知，2023年的臭氧空洞的发展是提前预料到的，也就是不是偶然发生的，因此画线词的含义为“偶然发生的，非计划中的”，和unexpected意思相近，故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there.(汤加火山的爆发将大量的水蒸气带入了平流层。“大约有1.5亿吨。大约是我们通常拥有的水蒸气的三倍，”Jucker说。当水蒸气比平时多的时候，平流层就会形成冰云，使得破坏臭氧层的微小物质聚集在那里)”可知，火山喷发向平流层排放大量水蒸气，当平流层中的水蒸气比平常多时，会形成冰云，破坏臭氧层的微粒会在那里聚集。由此可推知，汤加火山爆发引起了大气的变化。故选B。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The hole in the ozone layer, one layer of the stratosphere (平流层), began to form over Antarctica in August 2023, causing warnings that a larger-than-average hole could further warm the Southern Ocean while the level of Antarctic sea ice is at a record low. Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December.(平流层的臭氧层空洞于2023年8月开始在南极洲上空形成，有人警告说，一个比平均水平更大的空洞可能会进一步使南大洋变暖，而南极海冰的水平处于历史最低水平。新南威尔士大学的Martin Jocker博士说，这个洞通常在9月底开始形成，在10月达到顶峰，然后在11月或12月关闭)”可知，本文在首段讲到臭氧空洞通常在九月底开始形成，但2023年提前了，在八月份就开始形成了。接着，作者围绕该话题介绍了臭氧空洞的特点、对这种现象的研究以及这种现象的成因等。故C项“Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual(臭氧空洞比平常形成得更早)”适合作标题。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____17____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____18____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____19____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____20____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____21____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 【答案】17. C 18. G 19. E 20. B 21. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对音乐为什么总是会唤起人们的某些回忆进行了解释。 【17题详解】 根据前文“It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past.(我们每个人都有过这样的经历：收音机里响起一首歌，我们立刻被传送回过去的某个时间。)”和后文“There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.(有一些东西可以将音乐与我们的记忆联系起来。)”可知，此处是指音乐是如何与我们的回忆联系在一起的，所以选项C“但是什么让音乐在这方面如此有效呢？”切合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention.(音乐往往是许多重要生活事件的必要元素，它也非常有效地吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，此处是指因此音乐和生活事件有可能在我们的记忆里产生联系，所以选项G“音乐和这些生活事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起。”切合文意。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.(原因是我们更有可能一遍又一遍地听一首歌，而不是用同样的方式看电影或电视节目。)”可知，此处是指比起电影或电视节目等音乐更有可能唤起回忆，所以选项E“比起其他文化产品，这更适用于音乐。”切合文意。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.(她告诉我们，由于这一特点，在整个历史中，口头文化是如何通过歌曲将重要的知识代代相传的。歌词的节奏和韵律都可以帮助记忆。)”可知，此处是指音乐容易记忆，所以选项B“音乐本身很容易记住。”切合文意。故选B。 【21题详解】 根据后文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“怀旧性记忆”相吻合，即老年人（40岁以上）对青春期和成年早期发生的事件的回忆增加。)”可知，此处是指我们的音乐喜好通常形成于青少年时期，所以选项D“我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成。”切合文意。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。 I have been one of those men who set the same goals every year but rarely ___22___ any of them. I started hot and ready for a ___23___ year each year but that energy ___24___ by the end of February. I came to the end of each year feeling ___25___.

I spent days ___32___ how to promote myself in the areas I wanted to, and I got to work. I left Maui a changed man, and the ___33___ to becoming the best version of myself hasn’t stopped since. One of my biggest realizations was the ___34___ of putting myself first and creating goals connected with where I wanted to go in life. Self-prioritization (自我优先) has helped me create goals I can go hard on all year. Self-prioritized goals have led to a better me for everyone else in my life. Life is more ___35___ since making the shift to self-prioritization in goal setting. Understanding and carrying out self-prioritization in your goal-setting can greatly ___36___ how you reach your goals and work on becoming the best version of yourself. 22.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand 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-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize. Alice grinned(咧嘴笑) as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling. “Is everything OK?” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home. And Casper, too. ” Alice scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly?” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly?” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! “Alice, what’s the matter?” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea?” Alice swallowed, “How did you know? A “t” is exactly what I needed. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Shortly afterwards, Alice dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Alice pushed open the door of Lisa’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： Shortly afterwards, Alice dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her, Alice slowly picked up her pen, hesitant. “If I put the missing t back in, no one would ever know.” she thought. The moment the nib touched the paper, her heart began to beat fast, her hand trembling. Straightening her back, Alice took a few deep breaths, tossed the pen on the table and stormed out of the house with her backpack. She raced back to school as fast as her legs could carry her. (87 words) Paragraph 2: Alice pushed open the door of Lisa’s office. At the sight of Alice, Lisa asked her what was happening. Alice unzipped her bag, pulled out the prize and handed it to her teacher. Head down, she explained her mistake in spelling competition. For a moment, Lisa stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word perfect on the label and wrote honest before handing the prize back to Alice. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” she asked suspiciously, “Not for the spelling mistake you made,”Lisa smiled “But for your honesty.”(92 words) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alice在拼写比赛时错将honestly拼错了，但是老师并没有发现，并给了Alice奖品。后来，Alice发现了自己错误，勇敢地向老师指了出来，并再次因为自己的诚实而获得了奖品。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“过了一会儿，Alice冲进房间，拿出试卷。”可知，Alice突然意识到自己的拼写错误，内心非常纠结。 ②由第二段首句内容“Alice推开Lisa的办公室的门。”可知，第二段可描写Alice承认了自己的拼写错误。 2.续写线索：Alice参加拼写比赛——Alice获得了满分，并获得了奖品——Alice突然意识到自己的拼写错误——Alice经过了内心的纠结决定向老师承认这个拼写错误——老师表扬了Alice的诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆起：recall/look back on ②冲出：storm out of/dash out of/run out of ③递还：hand back/give back 情绪类 ①不情愿：unwillingness/disinclination ②怀疑地：suspiciously/doubtfully/distrustfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】The moment the nib touched the paper, her heart began to beat fast, her hand trembling.（运用了the moment引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】At the sight of Alice, Lisa asked her what was happening.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 1—5 CABCA 6—10 ACBBA 11—15 BACAC 16—20 BBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大荔县2023—2024学年（下）高一年级期末质量检测试题 英 语 注意事项： 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.选择题用2B铅笔将正确答案涂写在答题卡上；非选择题用0.5mm黑色墨水签字笔答在答题卡的指定答题区域内，超出答题区域答案无效。 3.答题前，请将姓名、考号、试卷类型按要求涂写在答题卡上。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Researching Ocean Creatures in the Maldives The Marine Life Discovery Center in the Maldives is a great place to learn about all kinds of ocean animals. You can join the scientists and help protect the ocean environment. Moreover, the center runs a rescue program for sea turtles. Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them. However, many other kinds of wildlife also end up here. This is a unique place to interact with African animals of all shapes and sizes. Conserving Rhinos (犀牛) in South Africa The two new Marataba Conservation Camps will give you new experiences. Visitors are expected to take part in all research projects and will see wildlife and get to collect related information. Rhino Conservation is at the heart of Marataba, which has wonderful views of the Waterberg Mountains. Finding Rare Animals in New Zealand New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs. You can go to Southland Museum and Art Gallery to meet one or spot them in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Island. 1. What can visitors do in the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary? A. Feed baby elephants. B. Join in elephant rescue programs. C. Carry out research projects. D. Interact with various unique animals. 2. Where are prehistoric animal lovers most likely to go? A. Kenya. B. The Maldives. C. South Africa. D. New Zealand. 3. Why does the author write the text? A. To introduce four special countries. B. To share the author’s animal encounters. C. To recommend some wildlife trips. D. To raise awareness of animal protection. B In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He often switched sports. B. He was a gifted child in sports. C. He had a busy childhood. D. He was fond of sports from childhood. 5. How did the author feel during the semi-final at the World Series? A. Stressed and tired. B. Proud and confident. C. Unbearable and down. D. Surprised and energetic. 6. What was tough for the author according to paragraph 3? A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team. C Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Interesting Life of Sports B. Life Lessons from Sports C. Deep Affection for Sports D. Special Moments in Sports C Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there… to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but, when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in a profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair but, upon reflection, you realize that without overcoming those hardships, you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and absolute stupidity all happen to test the limits of you soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smooth, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but meaningless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and failures that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays (背叛) you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful with whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are an unique individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. 8. The first paragraph tells us that ________. A. you will never know who will come into your life B. your life is sometimes influenced deeply by someone C. you need help to judge who you are in life D. you know someone the moment you meet him 9. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ________. A. everything is a test for you B. there is no good luck in life C. nothing happens by chance D. there is a limit to your love 10. The underlined word “ones” refers to ________. A. the people B. the small tests C. the successes D. the bad experiences 11. According to the passage, you are advised to ________. A. set a higher life goal B. open your heart to others C. live everyday to the full D. treat yourself as a great person 12. The writer develops the passage by ________. A. analyzing data B. reasoning C. giving examples D. telling a story D The hole in the ozone (臭氧) layer, one layer of the stratosphere (平流层), began to form over Antarctica in August 2023, causing warnings that a larger-than-average hole could further warm the Southern Ocean while the level of Antarctic sea ice is at a record low. Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December. The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone. The hole has been “recovering” over time and ozone levels over the Antarctic are expected to return to 1980 levels by 2066. The development of the ozone hole in 2023 was not adventitious. The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following. In early August, the formation was about average for the day of the year. This increased rapidly in the next few days, producing one of the largest observed ozone holes for the time of year. The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there. Jucker said he was concerned about the impact of the hole on Antarctic sea ice, which has been at record low levels. 13. What do we know about the Antarctic ozone hole? A. It happens every year. B. It keeps at a balanced level. C. It tends to worsen annually. D. It remains the largest on record. 14. What does the underlined word “adventitious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Unsettled. C. Rare. D. Unexpected. 15. What is the result of the Tonga volcanic explosion according to the last paragraph? A. The disappearance of ozone. B. The atmospheric changes. C. The decrease of water vapour. D. The formation of destructive substances. 16. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Stratosphere Faces New Threats B. Ozone Levels Are Changing Continuously C. Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual D.

We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____19____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.

The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____21____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand 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-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize. Alice grinned(咧嘴笑) as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling. “Is everything OK?” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home. And Casper, too. ” Alice scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly?” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly?” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! “Alice what’s the matter?” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea?” Alice swallowed, “How did you know?
