B Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me. The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 4. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 5. What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 6. What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C. Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 7. Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. C Commercial aviation (航空) alone contributes around three percent of total global carbon emissions (排放). But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In a study released this week, a team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) details a method of transforming food waste into SAF that can be used in existing engines. Making SAF is a more complicated process—it’s got to be very similar to the petrol-based aviation fuel we use today in commercial flights. The researchers use volatile fatty acids (挥发性脂肪酸)(VFAs) from smelly food waste and transform it into simple paraffin molecules (石蜡分子) that can be used in fuel and really aren’t all that chemically different from traditional emissions-heavy fuels. There are other renewable biofuels that have been made from biomass (生物质), specifically oil and fat from vegetables and animals, but using the ever-mounting pile of food waste to fuel flights broadens those possibilities. Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at NREL, says major companies are eager to get involved in SAF because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial flights, just aren’t possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances—“So using SAF that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out traditional emissions-heavy fuels.” Vardon also says that “because the wet waste would normally go to a landfill and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using SAF could actually have a negative carbon footprint when it is dramatically used.” A major question as the researchers move forward with this type of research is if it is possible to run an airplane engine on fully renewable biofuel. Rolls-Royce recently did a test on one of their engines with 100 percent SAF and it worked. “This fuel is not crazy and we can solve these problems,” Vardon says. 8. Which of the following is TRUE about SAF? A. It can be used to reduce carbon emissions globally. B. It’s less functional than the petrol-based aviation fuel. C. It’s composed of VFAs and simple paraffin molecules. D. It is virtually impossible to be made from biomass like oil and fat. 9. What is the focus of Vardon’s words in paragraph 3? A. The benefits of food rubbish-generated SAF. B. The environmental impacts of the wet waste. C. The simple process of making and using SAF. D. The future of battery-operated commercial flights. 10. What is the author’s purpose of referring to Rolls-Royce’s test in the last paragraph? A. To promote its production. B. To confirm the potential of SAF. C. To show off its powerful airplane engines. D. To express doubt about the research. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Natural emergence of renewable biofuels B. Green alternative to emissions-heavy fuels C. Unavoidable decline of commercial aviation D. Gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions D The curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder —in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car — all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut. But it was created with a different purpose in mind. It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently. I think about the “cur b cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by Policy Link CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)” and that it is commonly believed that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.” There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society — and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (密商) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to prevent the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies. So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us. 12. What does the underlined quote from the disability rights leader imply concerning a six-inch curb? A. It is an unforgettable symbol. B. It is an important sign. C. It is an impassable barrier. D. It is an impressive landmark. 13. According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe? A. It’s not worthwhile to promote health equity. B. It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally. C. It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled. D. It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others. 14. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle? A. A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country. B. The four great inventions of ancient China spread to the west. C. Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it. D. Reading machines for blind people helped build the navigation system in the car. 15. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all. B. Action empowers those with opportunities for better solutions. C. Society should create circumstances that get everyone involved. D. Everyday items are originally invented for people in need of help. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2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。 Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique. It involves explaining what you're learning to others. By teaching what you’ve learned from memory, you engage in active recall. ____16____ It also ensures that you understand the topic, because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it. The technique consists of four repeatable steps. To begin, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand. ___17___ The more interested you are, the faster you’ll grasp it. Moreover, a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged. ___18___ Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old. If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone, you can just teach it to an imaginary audience. But it works much better if you use a real person. They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t clear. While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding. ____19____ Review your notes reread books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward. Now that you fully grasp the concept, test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person. This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit. The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn. ____20____ You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else. However, with great efforts in mastering this method, you’ll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before. A. It is mentally demanding. B. This helps the information stick in your mind better. C. Teach it to a five-year-old, who would give you direct feedback. D. Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning. E. Once you have chosen a topic, you can teach it to someone else. F. Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning. G. When this happens, refer back to the original material for the missing pieces. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共1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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I found a brown bag outside after our move. “Grass Seed.” it said in big letters.

One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four directions, learning to classrooms, laboratories and teachers’ offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria and a gym. Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn’t exist. In her first PE class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile. To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather’s, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car! When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. “It’s just the beginning,” she thought. “I’ll come in last for sure.” Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福建省厦门第一中学2023-2024学年度 高二年6月考 (试卷满分：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，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.

His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 4. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 5. What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 6. What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C. Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 7. Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. 【答案】4. D 5.

But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In a study released this week, a team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) details a method of transforming food waste into SAF that can be used in existing engines. Making SAF is a more complicated process—it’s got to be very similar to the petrol-based aviation fuel we use today in commercial flights. The researchers use volatile fatty acids (挥发性脂肪酸)(VFAs) from smelly food waste and transform it into simple paraffin molecules (石蜡分子) that can be used in fuel and really aren’t all that chemically different from traditional emissions-heavy fuels. There are other renewable biofuels that have been made from biomass (生物质), specifically oil and fat from vegetables and animals, but using the ever-mounting pile of food waste to fuel flights broadens those possibilities. Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at NREL, says major companies are eager to get involved in SAF because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial flights, just aren’t possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances—“So using SAF that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out traditional emissions-heavy fuels.” Vardon also says that “because the wet waste would normally go to a landfill and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using SAF could actually have a negative carbon footprint when it is dramatically used.” A major question as the researchers move forward with this type of research is if it is possible to run an airplane engine on fully renewable biofuel. Rolls-Royce recently did a test on one of their engines with 100 percent SAF and it worked. “This fuel is not crazy and we can solve these problems,” Vardon says. 8. Which of the following is TRUE about SAF? A. It can be used to reduce carbon emissions globally. B. It’s less functional than the petrol-based aviation fuel. C. It’s composed of VFAs and simple paraffin molecules. D. It is virtually impossible to be made from biomass like oil and fat. 9. What is the focus of Vardon’s words in paragraph 3? A. The benefits of food rubbish-generated SAF. B. The environmental impacts of the wet waste. C. The simple process of making and using SAF. D. The future of battery-operated commercial flights. 10. What is the author’s purpose of referring to Rolls-Royce’s test in the last paragraph? A. To promote its production. B. To confirm the potential of SAF. C. To show off its powerful airplane engines. D. To express doubt about the research. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Natural emergence of renewable biofuels B. Green alternative to emissions-heavy fuels C. Unavoidable decline of commercial aviation D. Gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则新闻报道。文章主要介绍了美国国家可再生能源实验室的研究人员利用食物垃圾生产可持续航空燃料，该燃料有望给未来客机提供动力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段一、二句“Commercial aviation (航空) alone contributes around three percent of total global carbon emissions (排放). But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).”（仅商业航空就贡献了全球总碳排放的3%左右。但航空业正在积极寻找绿色解决方案，即可持续航空燃料。）可知，SAF能降低全球的碳排放量。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““So using SAF that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out traditional emissions-heavy fuels.” Vardon also says that “because the wet waste would normally go to a landfill and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using SAF could actually have a negative carbon footprint when it is dramatically used.””（所以使用与我们现有燃料工作方式相同的SAF是替代传统高排放燃料的一种更简单的方法。”瓦顿还说，“因为湿废物通常会被送往填埋场，分解并释放温室气体，如果大量使用，制造和使用SAF的过程实际上可能会产生负碳足迹。”）可知，使用食物垃圾制成的可持续航空燃料不仅是一种代替目前碳排放量大的燃料更简单的方法，而且又能产生“负碳效应”，由此可推知，Vardon的话关注的是可持续航空燃料的好处。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A major question as the researchers move forward with this type of research is if it is possible to run an airplane engine on fully renewable biofuel. Rolls-Royce recently did a test on one of their engines with 100 percent SAF and it worked.”（随着研究人员进行这类研究，一个主要的问题是，是否有可能使用完全可再生的生物燃料来运行飞机发动机。劳斯莱斯最近对他们的一款100% SAF的发动机进行了测试，并取得了成功。）可推知，作者提及劳斯莱斯所做的测试，目的是证实商务客机完全使用可持续航空燃料的可能性。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第三句“In a study released this week, a team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) details a method of transforming food waste into SAF that can be used in existing engines.”（在本周发布的一项研究中，来自美国能源部国家可再生能源实验室的一组研究人员详细介绍了一种将食物垃圾转化为SAF的方法，这种方法可以用于现有的发动机。）结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了研究人员正在努力利用食物垃圾来制作可持续航空燃料，从而代替目前碳排放量大的飞机燃料，故选B项“Green alternative to emissions-heavy fuels”（重碳排放量燃料的绿色替代品）作标题能概括文章主旨。故选B项。 D The curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder —in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car — all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut. But it was created with a different purpose in mind. It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently. I think about the “cur b cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by Policy Link CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)” and that it is commonly believed that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.” There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society — and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (密商) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to prevent the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies. So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us. 12. What does the underlined quote from the disability rights leader imply concerning a six-inch curb? A. It is an unforgettable symbol. B. It is an important sign. C. It is an impassable barrier. D. It is an impressive landmark. 13. According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe? A. It’s not worthwhile to promote health equity. B. It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally. C. It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled. D. It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others. 14. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle? A. A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country. B. The four great inventions of ancient China spread to the west. C. Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it. D. Reading machines for blind people helped build the navigation system in the car. 15. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all. B. Action empowers those with opportunities for better solutions. C. Society should create circumstances that get everyone involved. D. Everyday items are originally invented for people in need of help. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过“路缘坡效应”讲述了当社会为弱势群体创造便利时，可能也会同时帮助其他群体，从而惠及所有人。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的 “That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance. (对于坐轮椅的人来说，这是一件大事，因为没有坡道可以帮助他们在没有帮助的情况下沿着城市街区移动)”可知，在没有坡道时，坐轮椅的人没有办法上下路缘，这里一位残疾人权益领导说一个六英尺高的路缘“might as well have been Mount Everest”，即相当于珠穆朗玛峰，由此可知，这暗示了一个六英尺高的路缘对坐轮椅的人来说是一个难以通过的障碍，是一道不可逾越的屏障。A. It is an unforgettable symbol是一个令人难忘的象征；B. It is an important sign这是一个重要的标志；C. It is an impassable barrier这是一道不可逾越的屏障；D. It is an impressive landmark这是一个令人印象深刻的地标。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)” and that it is commonly believed that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” (Blackwell正确地指出，许多人将公平视为“零和游戏”，人们普遍认为存在一种“带有偏见的社会怀疑，即故意支持一个群体会伤害另一个群体”。)”可知，许多人认为公平是“零和游戏”，即一方的收益必然造成另一方的损失，他们普遍认为故意支持一个群体会伤害另一个群体。由此可推测出，许多人认为公平对待所有人是不可能的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.” (不过，Blackwell说，路缘坡效应表明，“当社会创造环境，让那些落后的人能够充分参与并做出贡献时，每个人都会赢。”)”及第五段中的“There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society — and that benefits everyone. (这个原则在工作中有很多例子。例如，投资于创造更多生活工资工作或增加可负担住房供应的政策，肯定会使选择有限的社区的人们受益。但是，这一行动也使这些人有机会获得更好的健康，并有办法成为对社会有贡献的成员——这将使每个人受益)”可知，路缘坡效应指的是当社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献后，最终会使每个人都受益。由此推知，选项D“Reading machines for blind people helped build the navigation system in the car. (盲人阅读机帮助构建了汽车的导航系统)”展示了为边缘群体（盲人）开发的解决方案最终惠及了更广泛的受众（司机和乘客），能很好地解释路缘坡效应。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由最后一段“So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us. (所以，下次你过马路，或者把行李箱推过人行横道，或者直接骑自行车上人行道时，想想路缘坡，这种设计上的改变打破了对弱势群体的排斥，不仅帮助了这一群体，也帮助了我们所有人。)”可知，路缘坡这种设计不仅帮助了弱势群体，也帮助了所有人，这就是“路缘坡效应”。由此推知，当我们关心弱势群体时，也可能最后让所有人受益。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2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。 Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique.

One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four directions, learning to classrooms, laboratories and teachers’ offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria and a gym. Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn’t exist. In her first PE class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile. To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather’s, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car! When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. “It’s just the beginning,” she thought. “I’ll come in last for sure.” Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. Never in her wildest dream had she imagined that she could achieve such an eye-catching score! Conquering this one mile was a milestone in her running career! Amazingly, Coach Pitts’ positive recognition installed an enormous sense of achievement into her heart. Enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applauses from her classmates kept her on the top of the world. Breathless and exhausted, she realized that overcoming seemingly the toughest challenges just needed a smart strategy like her mind trick. Her initial self-doubt gave way to self-confidence. Being a freshman, she tended to get lost in the 6-story maze, leaving her so helpless. Staring at the towering teaching building, Eva came up with a good idea, with a smile blooming across her face. Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. No sooner had she returned to the confusing maze than she set out to explore the first floor. Convinced that her mind trick would locate her in the school as soon as possible, she came to a gym, which was well-equipped with various workout facilities. Next to the gym was a cafeteria, which provided a wide range of foods and drinks. As Eva walked back to her classroom, she noticed that she felt less overwhelmed by this huge complex. Time ticking away, Eva eventually got familiar with the vast maze in the way she finished the one-mile run. One lap at a time did work! So did one floor a week! It dawned on her that goals are easier to achieve in small steps. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生Eva因为方向感不强，经常在学校里迷路。在一次体育课上，教练要求他们沿着外面的跑道跑一英里，Eva对此感到害怕，认为自己肯定是最后一名。跑了一会，Eva开始呼吸困难，心跳加速、双腿颤抖，她开始运用心术，集中注意力于到达投射在跑道上的橡树影。就这样，她跑了一圈又一圈。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Peter教练在终点线对她说：‘干得好！’时，Eva很惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写Eva对此的反应以及她对自身能力的重新认知和从这次经历中获得的启示。 ②由第二段首句内容“Eva决定用同样的手段来对付学校大楼。”可知，第二段可描写Eva运用心术这一积极的心理暗示策略来记忆学校大楼的布局，以及通过这件事她所收获的感悟。 2.续写线索：充满成就感——重新认知——想出主意——运用心术记忆学校大楼——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②克服：overcome/get over ③开始做：set out to do/set about doing 情绪类 ①自信的：self-confidence/self-faith ②无助的：helpless/powerless 【点睛】[高分句型1] Never in her wildest dream had she imagined that she could achieve such an eye-catching score!（由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] No sooner had she returned to the confusing maze than she set out to explore the first floor. （由no sooner…than…引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] Next to the gym was a cafeteria, which provided a wide range of foods and drinks.（由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
