A 【解析】 【详解】Thank you very much. Thank you, Doctor Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the US, I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper，and I could not understand the news on television, or movies, or anything like this. So I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college. Because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you’re fifteen years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn a trade. And that’s exactly what I did. When I was fifteen years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later，I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes. And I became a full-time college student. And today when I look back, I'm so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden, I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A There's no place in the world like Venice, Italy. Called the City of Water, Venice was built about 1,500 years ago. It's made up of 118 tiny islands in the Adriatic Sea. The area, however, may be in over its head. But now scientists have a new plan to save the city. Because the city was built on soft soil, it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight. Scientists estimate that Venice sinks at a rate of nearly 2 inches every 100 years. Rising sea levels could make Venice go under even faster, some experts say. Earth's temperature is slowly increasing. That is causing sea ice to melt, which makes the world's waters rise, they say. To keep the city afloat, experts want to pump about 40 billion gallons of sea water beneath Venice. The liquid would expand the sand under the city, which would help support the islands, explains lead scientist Giuseppe Gambolati. Experts are rushing to save Venice because of its rich history. The city was once a strong sea power. “Many famous artists and opera singers have come from Venice. Some of the world's greatest paintings can be found on the city's museum walls,” explains Melissa Conn, who is a director of Save Venice Inc. While scientists work to get their water-pumping plan approved, Venice's residents go about their normal routines. When the tide rolls in, the locals have ways of keeping everyone dry. Cafe owners move tables to higher ground, and hotels pass out high boots to guests. Still, dealing with the rising water does not give the city's residents a sinking feeling, just ask Erla Zwingle. She has lived in Venice for 17 years. “There has always been high water in Venice.” Zwingle told WR News. “If high water really were a serious problem, people wouldn't be still living here.” 21. What's the main reason Venice is sinking? A. Its population is rising. B. Its buildings are too weighty. C. The soil it was built on is not solid. D. Its underground water is being overused. 22. What can we know about Venice from the passage? A. It sinks at a rate of 2 inches every 200 years. B. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. C. It has been in a very dangerous situation. D. It was once a strong sea power. 23. What's the local residents' attitude towards their sinking city? A. Worried. B. Disappointed. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了意大利威尼斯城正在下沉的现状及其原因，并提出了科学家们的拯救计划。同时，文章还描述了当地居民对于城市下沉的态度和应对措施。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Because the city was built on soft soil, it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight. (因为这座城市建在松软的土壤上，所以它一直在自身的重量压力下下沉。)”可知，威尼斯正在下沉的主要原因是建造城市的土壤不坚固。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“The city was once a strong sea power.”（这座城市曾经有着强大的海权）可知，威尼斯曾经有着强大的海权。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Still, dealing with the rising water does not give the city's residents a sinking feeling, just ask Erla Zwingle. She has lived in Venice for 17 years. (不过，处理上涨的水位并不会让城市居民感到沮丧，只要问问Erla Zwingle就知道了。她在威尼斯住了17年。)”以及最后一句“"If high water really were a serious problem, people wouldn't be still living here." (如果高水位真的是个严重的问题，人们就不会还住在这里了。)”可知，当地居民对威尼斯的下沉持乐观态度。故选D项。 B New Zealand Education Compulsory Education Compulsory education starts at age 5 and ends at age 16.

Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking. “There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed,” says a psychologist, “In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping. ●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ●What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. “If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.” 28. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? A. They will call 110. B. They will offer help. C They will go on walking. D. They will laugh at him. 29. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others? A. I’m not the very capable person. B. It looks like we should do something. C. No one else is concerned. D. He doesn’t really need my help. 30. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, . A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can B. we should turn away in no time C. we should stop and try to make other people help together D. we should take on the whole responsibility 31. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________. A. to give others a hand B. to be more able C. to explain their inaction D. to evaluate the situation 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了人们在目击他人需要帮助时的心理状态和行为反应。文章通过引用心理学家的观点和列举一些常见的心理障碍，分析了人们为何在遇到紧急情况时可能会选择不采取行动。同时，文章也提供了一些策略和建议，鼓励人们克服这些心理障碍，主动提供帮助。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking. (你正赶着去上班，你前面的一个人摔倒在人行道上。你会停下来帮忙吗?在一项旁观者的研究中，人们发现有些人继续行走。)”可知，当一个男人跌倒在人行道上时，一些旁观者会继续走自己的路。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping. ●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ●What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. (以下是一些阻止你提供帮助的常见想法。●为什么非得是我？我可能不是这群人中最有能力的人。你可能认为年纪较大或医学知识较多的人应该提供帮助。●如果他真的不需要我的帮助呢？害怕尴尬是很强大的；没有人想在别人面前冒险显得愚蠢。●其他人看起来都不担心。我们可以跟随周围的人，但大多数人倾向于在公共场合抑制自己的情绪。)”可知，A.我不是很有能力的人。 B.看来我们该做点什么了。 C.其他人都不关心。 D.他其实不需要我的帮助。A、C、D三项是阻止人们提供帮助的想法，而B项是心理学家建议人们在发现困难时应该做的事情，故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. (心理学家说:“如果你发现了问题，发现自己在解释自己的不作为，强迫自己停下来评估一下情况，而不是继续前进。然后再试着让其他人参与进来；你不必承担全部的帮助责任。”)”可知，如果我们发现有麻烦，我们应该停下来并试图让别人一起帮忙，故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking. (在一项旁观者的研究中，人们发现有些人继续行走。)”、第三段“Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping. ●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ●What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. (以下是一些阻止你提供帮助的常见想法。●为什么非得是我？我可能不是这群人中最有能力的人。你可能认为年纪较大或医学知识较多的人应该提供帮助。●如果他真的不需要我的帮助呢？害怕尴尬是很强大的；没有人想在别人面前冒险显得愚蠢。●其他人看起来都不担心。我们可以跟随周围的人，但大多数人倾向于在公共场合抑制自己的情绪。)”以及最后一段“Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. (然后再试着让其他人参与进来；你不必承担全部的帮助责任。)”可知，本文通过讲述阻止人们提供帮助的一些常见想法，并引用心理学家的话来说明在遇到困难的时候，我们不应该袖手旁观而是应该伸出援手去帮助他人。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是告诉读者向别人伸出援手。故选A项。 D Jack Andraka from Maryland won the grand prize at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. It is the largest high school science competition in the world. The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $ 75,000 prize. He was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries. Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌). He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease. “I went on the Internet and I found that 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are found late, when someone has less than a 2% chance of survival,” he says, “and I was thinking, ‘That’s not right. We should be able to do something.’” He found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease. The Maryland teenager asked to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and was allowed. There he developed a simple paper test, which can recognize the disease in a single drop of blood. His test has proven correct 90% of the time. It also is 100 times more sensitive than other tests. “It costs 3 cents per test, and then it takes only 5 minutes to run,” he said. Jack’s success wouldn’t have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack wrote to who showed interest in his project. “I was very surprised that this was a 15-year-old boy who was writing this. I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so I called him over for an interview.” Jack worked in Professor Maitra’s laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic caner test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product. Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka’s name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years. 32. What made Jack Andraka research pancreatic cancer? A. A high school task. B. Doubts about the present test. C. Losing a friend. D. A professor’s encouragement. 33 We can infer from the passage that Jack Andraka . A. got support from others easily B. was highly thought of by companies C. was the only one who won a prize D. left a deep impression on Professor Maitra 34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests Jack Andraka will . A. become rich B. make contributions continually C. get a good job D. make products to treat cancer 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Teenage cancer researcher. B. Jack Andraka’s fights against cancer. C. Research on pancreatic cancer. D. Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了年轻的Jack Andraka发明了一种用于检测胰腺癌的新方法，并因此获得了Intel国际科学与工程大赛的大奖。文章还讲述了他发明背后的故事以及他的发明的意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌). He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease.(Jack Andraka发明了一种检测胰腺癌的方法。他在失去一位亲密的家庭朋友后开始研究这种疾病)”可知，Jack Andraka研究胰腺癌的原因是因为他失去了一位朋友。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Jack’s success wouldn't have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins.(如果没有约翰霍普金斯大学的教授Anirban Maitra，Jack的成功是不可能的)”以及该段最后一句“I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so I called him over for an interview.(我想见见这个聪明的年轻人，看看他想谈论什么，所以我打电话给他面试)”可以推断，Jack Andraka给Professor Maitra留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Jack worked in Professor Maitra’s laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic caner test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.( 杰克在迈特拉教授的实验室工作，七个月后完成了他的项目。政府已经授予这位马里兰州的青少年胰腺癌测试的专利权。他目前正在与公司讨论将这项测试开发成一种简单的产品)”以及最后一段“Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka’s name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years.(无论发生什么，教授相信Jack Andraka的名字是我们未来10到20年还会再次听到的)”可以推断，Jack Andraka将会持续做出贡献。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Jack Andraka from Maryland won the grand prize at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. It is the largest high school science competition in the world. The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $ 75,000 prize.( 来自马里兰州的杰克·安德鲁卡在2012年英特尔国际科学与工程博览会上赢得了大奖。这是世界上最大的高中科学竞赛。这位马里兰少年是75,000美元奖金的最年轻获得者)”、第二段第一句“Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌). He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease.(Jack Andraka发明了一种检测胰腺癌的方法。他在失去一位亲密的家庭朋友后开始研究这种疾病)”、倒数第二段“Jack worked in Professor Maitra's laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic caner test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.(杰克在迈特拉教授的实验室工作，七个月后完成了他的项目。政府已经授予这位马里兰州的青少年胰腺癌测试的专利权。他目前正在与公司讨论将这项测试开发成一种简单的产品)”以及最后一段“Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka's name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years.(无论发生什么，教授相信Jack Andraka的名字是我们未来10到20年还会再次听到的)”可知，文章主要讲述了Jack Andraka这位青少年如何研究胰腺癌并发明了一种新的检测方法的故事。因此，最佳标题应该是“Teenage cancer researcher(青少年癌症研究者)”。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? _____36_____, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel. Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. _____37_____, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. _____38_____. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. _____39_____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors.

If you’re experimenting with a color D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F. So it pays to be sure because you want to get it right the first time G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了室内设计中颜色的选择问题。 【36题详解】 36题以逗号结尾，后面另起一个简单句，可以从句子结构排除D,E,F,G项。根据前文的三个问句可知，此处是从中选择一种。故选B（不管你寻找哪一种）。 【37题详解】 前文：在过去的许多年里，有许多技术帮助设计者实现这一要点；下文：它们有点复杂。所以A（然而他们都很有用）承上启下。符合题意。 【38题详解】 本空是一个主题句，总说选择小型颜色是我们很熟悉的方法。后文分说小型颜色选择具体用于哪些。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据前文“中型颜色选择通常是指一些例如沙发，餐桌或者书架等家具的颜色选择”，接着表明这种范围的颜色选择是比小型颜色选择在两种方式上更高一级，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据前文the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant（你所付诸的时间、精力和相关的费用是巨大的），后文F项（那肯定是值得的，因为你想第一次把它弄好）是上文的结果。故选F。 点睛：关键词法解决阅读填空题是一种有效的方法。做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。 37题A选项中的them 指代上文中的 different techniques 和下文中的they 指代内容相同。 38题上一段末尾提到要介绍三种颜色选择，本段详细介绍第一种small color choice.选项和语段中都有关键词small color choice。 39题本段主要内容是medium color choice, 前半句承接上文中medium是small的升级，后半句引出下文的两种方式。关键词：two major ways和...and …。 第三部分　语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完型填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I will never forget that day when I was involved in a serious car accident.

Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014____61____showed a mere five to 10 minutes A day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all ____62____(cause). The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise… it's probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to____63____(strength)your leg muscles(肌肉),avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it's always____64____(energy).If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give_____65_____a try. 【答案】56. longer 57. to see 58. dying 59. is 60. than 61. that \which 62. causes 63. strengthen 64. energetic 65. it 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了跑步的好处，它可以帮助人们减少疾病发生，延年益寿。 【56题详解】 考查副词的比较级。医学报告显示：经常跑步的人比不跑步的人多活3年。根据than可知用比较级，故填longer。 【57题详解】 考查不定式作目的状语。你不必跑的太快或时间太长就能看到它的好处。此处不定式作目的状语，故填to see。 【58题详解】 考查动名词。你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重，但仍然通过跑步会减少早亡的风险。此处of是介词，其后用动名词。故填dying。 【59题详解】 考查动词的时态。医学报告显示：跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。这里叙述的是一个事实，故用一般现在时。故填is。 【60题详解】 考查比较句型。跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。根据文章中的more effective可知，此处填than。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句的关系词。此处a study是先行词，其在定语从句中作主语，故填that或which。 【62题详解】 考查名词复数。一项研究表明，仅仅每天5到10分钟的跑步，就能减少各种原因的心脏病和早亡。空格处做from的宾语，前面有all可知，要用名词复数形式。故填causes。 【63题详解】 考查词形变化。锻炼以增强你腿上的肌肉。此处to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填strengthen。 【64题详解】 考查词形变化。跑步总是让人充满活力的。根据it’s可知，系动词后用形容词作表语。故填energetic。 【65题详解】 考查代词或名词的用法。我们都应该试试跑步。此处give it a try意为：试试。此处it可以指running。故填it。 点睛：本文比较难的一个题是10题。短语give it a try不容易想出来。give a try试试。give sb sth；give sth to sb这些短语学生都很清楚。但give后加it或sth的形式，比较少见。高考复习要尽可能多的复习相关的短语，尤其是用的比较多，而课本中出现较少的短语。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Terry将去中国朋友家做客，发邮件向你询问有关习俗。请你回复邮件。内容包括： （1）到达时间； （2）合适的礼物； （3）餐桌礼仪。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 【答案】Dear Terry, How are you doing? Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese customs, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details. Firstly, I would like to suggest that you arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier, which is common in Chinese traditional culture. Secondly, if I were you, I would bring some gifts with me, such as souvenirs from my own country. Besides, table manners are also what you should pay attention to. For example, you are not supposed to stick your chopsticks into your food. Instead, laying them on your dish is a smart choice. Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful for you. Best wishes! Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【详解】本文是一篇书信类应用文写作。餐桌礼仪也是考生比较熟悉的话题。成文时注意以下几点：一、内容要点要齐全1．到达时间；2．合适的礼物；3．餐桌礼仪。二、时态：主要用一般现在时和将来时；三、人称：二、三人称。四、注意使用恰当的高级词汇、短语或句型，以提高作文的水平；五、适当使用一些连接词和插入语，使文章表达自然、流畅。 点睛：本文虽然看起来比较容易，但学生真正动起笔来，还是比较困惑的。原因为：1.看起来中国餐桌礼仪很熟悉，但内容很多，一时间不知道该写什么；2.100单词左右，写出到达时间；合适的礼物；餐桌礼仪三个内容，信息量大，选择有困难； 应对方法：近年来高考写作的命题常用的思想就是高起点低落点。高起点题目很高，中国文化，中国故事，中国礼仪等等，但最终都把它们落在应用文的框架里，这就是低落点。写这样的作文，一定要注意不能写过于具体的内容，要找最重要的，最熟悉的写，不要面面俱到，中国餐桌礼仪内容太多，100单词无法写。找重点，以点带面。但选择重要内容本身就是一种能力。 第二节 (满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 One young excellent person went to apply for a position in a big company. After he passed the first interview, the director did the last interview and made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic (学术的) achievements were excellent all the way, from high school to the postgraduate (研究生) research. The director asked, “Did you get any scholarships in school?” The youth answered “No”. The director asked, “Was it your father who paid your school fees?” The youth answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old. It was my mother who paid my school fees.” The director asked, “Where did your mother work?” The youth answered, “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” The youth answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. What’s more, my mother can wash clothes faster than me”. The director said, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning”. The youth felt that his chance of getting a job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean his hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, and she showed her hands to the youth. The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. It was the first time that he had noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many cuts in her hands. Some cuts were so painful that his mother shivered (颤抖) when they were cleaned with water. Paragraph 1: Tears streamed down his cheeks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Tears streamed down his cheeks. The youth was deeply moved by the sight of his mother’s hands, and he realized how hard his mother had worked to support him. He felt ashamed of his previous ignorance and lack of appreciation for her sacrifices. He thought of all the times he had complained and how he had taken her for granted. He made a silent vow to himself to be a better son from now on, to make up for all the lost time and to show his mother how much he loved and appreciated her. Paragraph 2: The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. As he entered the room, the director smiled at him warmly and offered him a seat. “I have good news for you,” the director said. “You got the job. Your attitude and dedication have impressed me greatly. You have shown me that you have the potential to be a great asset to our company.” The youth felt his heart leap with joy, and he thanked the director with a grateful smile. As he left the room, he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. He knew that he had not only earned a job but had also gained a newfound appreciation for the importance of hard work and family values. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一位年轻人应聘大公司职位的经历为线索展开，讲述了他在最后一轮面试中，通过完成面试官的要求，深刻体会到母亲辛劳和付出，从而实现自我成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“泪水顺着他的脸颊流下。”可知，第一段可描写年轻人看到母亲双手后的内心感受，以及他对母亲付出的理解和感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，年轻人去了面试官的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写年轻人得到工作机会，以及他对于这次经历的心得体会。 2.续写线索： 感动落泪——反思过去——决心改变——获得工作——感激与自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①流泪：stream down/roll down ②感激：thank/appreciate ③获得工作：get the job/be offered the position 情绪类 ①感动：be deeply moved/be touched ②自豪：feel proud/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] The youth was deeply moved by the sight of his mother’s hands, and he realized how hard his mother had worked to support him.（使用了how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] As he entered the room, the director smiled at him warmly and offered him a seat.（使用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 井大附中2023-2024高二年级上学期入学考试英语试卷 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Called the City of Water, Venice was built about 1,500 years ago. It's made up of 118 tiny islands in the Adriatic Sea. The area, however, may be in over its head. But now scientists have a new plan to save the city. Because the city was built on soft soil, it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight. Scientists estimate that Venice sinks at a rate of nearly 2 inches every 100 years. Rising sea levels could make Venice go under even faster, some experts say. Earth's temperature is slowly increasing. That is causing sea ice to melt, which makes the world's waters rise, they say. To keep the city afloat, experts want to pump about 40 billion gallons of sea water beneath Venice. The liquid would expand the sand under the city, which would help support the islands, explains lead scientist Giuseppe Gambolati. Experts are rushing to save Venice because of its rich history. The city was once a strong sea power. “Many famous artists and opera singers have come from Venice. Some of the world's greatest paintings can be found on the city's museum walls,” explains Melissa Conn, who is a director of Save Venice Inc. While scientists work to get their water-pumping plan approved Venice's residents go about their normal routines. When the tide rolls in, the locals have ways of keeping everyone dry. Cafe owners move tables to higher ground, and hotels pass out high boots to guests. Still, dealing with the rising water does not give the city's residents a sinking feeling, just ask Erla Zwingle. She has lived in Venice for 17 years. “There has always been high water in Venice.” Zwingle told WR News. “If high water really were a serious problem, people wouldn't be still living here.” 21. What's the main reason Venice is sinking? A. Its population is rising. B. Its buildings are too weighty. C. The soil it was built on is not solid. D. Its underground water is being overused. 22. What can we know about Venice from the passage? A. It sinks at a rate of 2 inches every 200 years. B. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. C. It has been in a very dangerous situation. D. It was once a strong sea power. 23. What's the local residents' attitude towards their sinking city? A. Worried. B. Disappointed. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic. B New Zealand Education Compulsory Education Compulsory education starts at age 5 and ends at age 16. Class Size The number of students in a class is 30 students. Classrooms Students from Years 5-8 stay in the same classroom for most subjects and move to other classrooms only for specific subjects. In Year 9, students take some courses With their homeroom class and some optional classes with students from different classes. Starting from Year 10, students no longer stay in the same classroom most of the time. They go to different classes according to their own choices and abilities. Term Dates A school year starts in January and ends in December. There are four terms in a year. Each term is about 10 weeks. Class Schedule School starts at around 8:30 and ends at 15:15. There are only five periods a day and a period is about an hour long. In the morning, around 10:30, there will be a 20-minute break when students usually have some snacks during this time. There is a lunch period at around 12:40 for about an hour. Teachers Teachers have to teach students of different year level at the same time. Most teachers teach students from at least three to four different year levels. Besides, quite a number of teachers teach more than one subject. This is because the fact that many courses are optional. 24. This passage is most probably taken from . A. an educational book B. a sport magazine C. a traveling guide D. a film website 25. When you are in your 10th school year, you may . A. choose and take some optional courses with your homeroom class B. stay with your classmates in the same classroom for all the subjects C. have both required and optional classes with the same classmates D. choose different classes according to your own choices and abilities 26. What do the students usually do around 10:40 in the morning? A. Have class. B. Have snacks. C. Have lunch. D. Have sports. 27. According to the passage, why can many teachers teach more than one subject? A. Because many courses are optional. B. Because there are not enough classrooms. C. Because many of the subjects are too easy. D. Because the teachers are more than enough. C You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking. “There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed,” says a psychologist, “In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping. ●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ●What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. “If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.” 28. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? A. They will call 110. B.

It is the largest high school science competition in the world. The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $ 75,000 prize. He was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries. Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌). He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease. “I went on the Internet and I found that 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are found late, when someone has less than a 2% chance of survival,” he says, “and I was thinking, ‘That’s not right. We should be able to do something.’” He found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease. The Maryland teenager asked to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and was allowed. There he developed a simple paper test, which can recognize the disease in a single drop of blood. His test has proven correct 90% of the time. It also is 100 times more sensitive than other tests. “It costs 3 cents per test, and then it takes only 5 minutes to run,” he said. Jack’s success wouldn’t have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack wrote to who showed interest in his project. “I was very surprised that this was a 15-year-old boy who was writing this. I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so I called him over for an interview.” Jack worked in Professor Maitra’s laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic caner test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product. Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka’s name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years. 32. What made Jack Andraka research pancreatic cancer? A. A high school task. B. Doubts about the present test. C. Losing a friend. D. A professor’s encouragement. 33. We can infer from the passage that Jack Andraka . A. got support from others easily B. was highly thought of by companies C. was the only one who won a prize D. left a deep impression on Professor Maitra 34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests Jack Andraka will . A. become rich B. make contributions continually C get a good job D. make products to treat cancer 35.

After he passed the first interview, the director did the last interview and made the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic (学术的) achievements were excellent all the way, from high school to the postgraduate (研究生) research. The director asked “Did you get any scholarships in school?” The youth answered “No”. The director asked, “Was it your father who paid your school fees?” The youth answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old. It was my mother who paid my school fees.” The director asked, “Where did your mother work?” The youth answered, “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” The youth answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. What’s more, my mother can wash clothes faster than me”. The director said, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning”. The youth felt that his chance of getting a job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean his hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, and she showed her hands to the youth. The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. It was the first time that he had noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many cuts in her hands. Some cuts were so painful that his mother shivered (颤抖) when they were cleaned with water. Paragraph 1: Tears streamed down his cheeks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
