Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C. Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888. The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns. Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations. 4. What can we learn about Raymond Flower? A. He wrote about skiing. B. He invented skiing. C. He recorded Norse myths. D. He was good at rock carving. 5. Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s? A. Some official competitions were held. B. The British spread it all over the world. C. It was written in the textbook on history. D. An adventure book about skiing came out. 6. Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport? A. The Swiss. B. The British. C. The Norse. D. The Finn. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. How Did Skiing Develop in Norway? B. Why Did People Kill Time by Skiing? C. What Are Skiing Adventures All About? D. What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing? 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了滑雪这项运动的起源及其发展历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.(然而，雷蒙德·弗劳尔在《滑雪和其他冬季运动史》中写道，现代滑雪可以追溯到斯堪的纳维亚人，他们主要将滑雪板作为旅行工具或其他实用目的，尤其是挪威、芬兰和瑞典的土著萨米人)”可知，雷蒙德·弗劳尔写了一篇关于滑雪的书。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888.(随着一本畅销书的出版，滑雪成了家喻户晓的话题，这本书讲述了挪威探险家弗里德·乔夫·南森在1888年穿越格陵兰岛滑雪的艰难历史旅程)”可知，滑雪在19世纪末成为一个众所周知的词，是由于一本关于滑雪的冒险书籍出版了。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now.(在很大程度上，英国人将滑雪从斯堪的纳维亚起源转变为现在的高度竞争性运动)”可知，英国人在将滑雪变成更具竞争性的运动方面做出了最大的贡献。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia. Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C.(滑雪从早期文明开始就存在了，有5000年历史的代表着挪威人在滑雪板上猎鹿的石雕证明，并且在俄罗斯的维斯发现了一种可以追溯到公元前6000年的滑雪板。不过历史学家们争论滑雪是从哪里最早开始的；有人认为它是在公元前8000年在中国的阿勒泰)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要探索了滑雪这项运动的起源，所以“滑雪的古老起源是什么？”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 C If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 9. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.”（盐不会直接融化冰，也不会让雪消失。）以及第二句“Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.”（相反，它使水更不容易冻结，这种现象被称为冰点降低。）可知，第二段第一句的目的是揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使雪和冰融化的错误想法。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.”（正常情况下，当水结冰时，它的分子会排成一行，形成一个稳定有序的结构。然而，盐会打断这一过程，而温度必须降得更低，才能克服这种干扰，从而发生冻结。）可知，盐会干扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.”（北美湖泊中氯化物densities的增加可能会扰乱当地生态，并使饮用水源退化。）可知，氯离子的浓度增加会是当地生态系统受到干扰，并使饮用水源退化。所以划线词的意思是“浓度”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是“All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition…”（所有这些试验都是为了确保人们在任何天气条件下都能出行。）可知，本段主要阐述地方政府正在努力确保冰雪天气人们出行安全。故选B项。 D Astronaut Frank Rubiales made headlines by spending 371 days in space, far beyond his scheduled 180 days, due to a technical failure. This unexpected longer stay became an unforgettable experience for Rubiales and it was turned into a golden opportunity for researchers to explore the effects of long-term space travel on the human body. Although space exploration is of importance for human beings’ development, it brings about unique bad effects on both physical and mental well-being. The absence of gravity in space can cause astronauts to lose muscle and bone strength, which may cause their disabilities. To solve this problem, they must exercise for 150 minutes every week. Additionally, space traveler’s eyes can be affected in the zero-gravity environment, facing the danger of being blind. What’s worse, beyond earth’s protective layer, astronaut s face greater exposure to strong solar radiation, increasing the risk of serious health issues, including cancer. Astronauts’ mental health is also at risk. On Earth, daylight patterns help us sleep, but astronauts in space see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. The unusual pattern disturbs their natural sleep cycles and leads to anxiety. Besides, the limited social interactions and the constant observation by experts on Earth can result in stress and loneliness. Therefore, these factors stress the importance of advancing technology and strategies to ensure astronauts’ health and well-being during long-time missions, such as space travel that could last up to years. The experience and data gathered from missions like Rubiales’ not only help prepare for more distant space explorations but also have improved applications on Earth. Technologies that once supported space exploration are now increasing medical qualities in hospitals and helping recovery from health conditions, bridgeing the gap between space achievements and daily life. 12. What happened to Rubiales? A. He stayed longer in space for a technical mistake. B. He returned to the Earth on time. C. He researched the effects of long-term space travel. D. He was scheduled to spend 371 days in space. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Health problems caused by the absence of gravity. B. Bad effects on astronauts’ physical health in space. C. Astronauts’ bad experiences in space. D. Solutions to health issues including cancer. 14. What may mainly cause astronauts’ anxiety? A. Sunrises and sunsets. B. Observation by experts. C. Lack of sleep. D. Usual daylight patterns. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward space explorations? A Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了尽管太空探索对人类发展具有重要意义，但它也给宇航员的身心健康带来了独特的负面影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Astronaut Frank Rubiales made headlines by spending 371 days in space, far beyond his scheduled 180 days, due to a technical failure.(由于技术故障，宇航员弗兰克·鲁比亚莱斯在太空中度过了371天，远远超出了他计划的180天，成为头条新闻。)”可知，由于一个技术错误，他在太空停留的时间更长。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The absence of gravity in space can cause astronauts to lose muscle and bone strength, which may cause their disabilities. To solve this problem, they must exercise for 150 minutes every week. Additionally, space traveler’s eyes can be affected in the zero-gravity environment, facing the danger of being blind. What’s worse, beyond earth’s protective layer, astronaut s face greater exposure to strong solar radiation, increasing the risk of serious health issues, including cancer.(太空中没有重力会导致宇航员失去肌肉和骨骼力量，这可能会导致他们的残疾。为了解决这个问题，他们必须每周锻炼150分钟。此外，太空旅行者的眼睛在零重力环境下会受到影响，面临失明的危险。更糟糕的是，在地球的保护层之外，宇航员面临着更大的太阳辐射，增加了患癌症等严重健康问题的风险。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了在太空中对宇航员身体健康的不良影响。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The unusual pattern disturbs their natural sleep cycles and leads to anxiety.(这种不寻常的模式扰乱了他们的自然睡眠周期，导致焦虑。)”可知，导致宇航员焦虑的主要原因是睡眠不足。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The absence of gravity in space can cause astronauts to lose muscle and bone strength, which may cause their disabilities.(太空中没有重力会导致宇航员失去肌肉和骨骼力量，这可能会导致他们的残疾。)”、文章第三段“Astronauts’ mental health is also at risk.( 宇航员的心理健康也处于危险之中。)”和文章最后一段“The experience and data gathered from missions like Rubiales’ not only help prepare for more distant space explorations but also have improved applications on Earth.(从像Rubiales这样的任务中收集的经验和数据不仅有助于为更遥远的太空探索做准备，而且还改善了地球上的应用。)”可知，作者在文章中提到了太空探索对人类发展的重要性，同时也指出了太空探索对人类身体和心理健康可能带来的负面影响。作者并没有表达出明显的赞成或反对的态度，而是客观地陈述了太空探索的利弊。故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To get a first-class degree at university, you’ll usually need an average of around 70 percent or above overall. ____16____ However, it may be simpler if you take the following tips.

When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset. David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. 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。 Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother was ashamed when she heard that. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.” The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作家大卫偶遇一位正在大声责骂自己八岁的儿子愚蠢无用的母亲，想到自己过去的经历，如果不是因为中学的英语老师Mrs. Brown的鼓励和认可，他不会有现在的成就。于是大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子，要多鼓励他，给他信心，这位母亲也意识到了自己的问题，希望这段小小的经历能给这个男孩带来改变。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到自己故事的启发，大卫决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子，要多鼓励他，给他信心。 ②由第二段首句“母亲听到这话感到很惭愧”可知，第二段可描写这位母亲思想和态度的转变，从而希望能给男孩带来改变。 2. 续写线索：决定做点什么——与母亲交流，讲述自己的经历——母亲感到惭愧——意识到自己的问题——决定改变——离开——希望 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ②聊天：chat with/talk with ③擅长做某事：be good at doing/do well in doing ④鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类： ①丧失信心：lose confidence/lose heart ②宽慰的：relieved/soothing 【点睛】【高分句型1】He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. （运用了关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句和连词because引导的原因状语从句。） 【高分句型2】I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.（运用了以连词if引导的条件状语从句和虚拟语气。） 听力 1—5 ACCBC 6—10 BACBB 11—15 CBABB 16—20 CAABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 淮滨县多校联考2023-2024学年下期期末考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项: 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 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.

B Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia. Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C. Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888. The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns. Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations. 4. What can we learn about Raymond Flower? A. He wrote about skiing. B. He invented skiing. C. He recorded Norse myths. D. He was good at rock carving. 5. Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s? A. Some official competitions were held. B. The British spread it all over the world. C. It was written in the textbook on history. D. An adventure book about skiing came out. 6. Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport? A. The Swiss. B. The British. C. The Norse. D. The Finn. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. How Did Skiing Develop in Norway? B. Why Did People Kill Time by Skiing? C. What Are Skiing Adventures All About? D. What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing? C If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 9. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 11. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. D Astronaut Frank Rubiales made headlines by spending 371 days in space, far beyond his scheduled 180 days, due to a technical failure. This unexpected longer stay became an unforgettable experience for Rubiales and it was turned into a golden opportunity for researchers to explore the effects of long-term space travel on the human body. Although space exploration is of importance for human beings’ development, it brings about unique bad effects on both physical and mental well-being. The absence of gravity in space can cause astronauts to lose muscle and bone strength, which may cause their disabilities. To solve this problem, they must exercise for 150 minutes every week. Additionally, space traveler’s eyes can be affected in the zero-gravity environment, facing the danger of being blind. What’s worse, beyond earth’s protective layer, astronaut s face greater exposure to strong solar radiation, increasing the risk of serious health issues, including cancer. Astronauts’ mental health is also at risk. On Earth, daylight patterns help us sleep, but astronauts in space see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. The unusual pattern disturbs their natural sleep cycles and leads to anxiety. Besides, the limited social interactions and the constant observation by experts on Earth can result in stress and loneliness. Therefore, these factors stress the importance of advancing technology and strategies to ensure astronauts’ health and well-being during long-time missions, such as space travel that could last up to years. The experience and data gathered from missions like Rubiales’ not only help prepare for more distant space explorations but also have improved applications on Earth. Technologies that once supported space exploration are now increasing medical qualities in hospitals and helping recovery from health conditions, bridgeing the gap between space achievements and daily life. 12. What happened to Rubiales? A. He stayed longer in space for a technical mistake. B. He returned to the Earth on time. C. He researched the effects of long-term space travel. D. He was scheduled to spend 371 days in space. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Health problems caused by the absence of gravity. B. Bad effects on astronauts’ physical health in space. C. Astronauts’ bad experiences in space. D. Solutions to health issues including cancer. 14. What may mainly cause astronauts’ anxiety? A. Sunrises and sunsets. B. Observation by experts. C. Lack of sleep. D. Usual daylight patterns. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward space explorations? A. Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To get a first-class degree at university, you’ll usually need an average of around 70 percent or above overall. ____16____ However, it may be simpler if you take the following tips.

When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset. David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. 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。 Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother was ashamed when she heard that. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ACCBC 6—10 BACBB 11—15 CBABB 16—20 CAABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
