B 20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet! Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own. As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much! 4. Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned? A. To describe what made Edgar famous. B. To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles. C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project. D. To discuss why Edgar started exploring the national forest. 5. Which of the following can best describe Edgar? A. Determined and caring. B. Creative and influential. C. Talented and productive. D. Adventurous and sociable. 6. What is Edgar’s next plan? A. Encouraging others to join in his cleanup. B. Making a journey to clean Eaton Canyon. C. Cleaning up other parts of the national forest. D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter. C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement. C I’ve bought many things without thinking too much in my life, but the first one that I found uneasy was a pair of Nike VaporMax shoes. It was in July 2018, and I was mindlessly tapping through Instagram updates while waiting for friends. That’s where I saw the advertisement for the shoes. The order took maybe 15 seconds. Almost as soon as I’d paid, I quickly shook off the excitement that had briefly overtaken me, $190 poorer but with one pair of shoes on their way to my apartment. I had completed some version of the online checkout process a million times before, but never could I remember it being quite so thoughtless. That experience wasn’t the result of any just-to-the-market technology. Instead, a handful of small changes to online shopping had grown into something meaningful: Advertisers were collecting stores of personal information with which to target their advertising. Retailers (零售商) were offering free shipping and free returns on everything — buy now, decide later. The widespread use of online payment shortcuts such as Apple Pay was making it unnecessary to create a new account. “Buy now, pay later” services were beginning to appear at more retailers to soften the blow of spending. In the consumer system, friction refers to anything that slows down a potential buyer on the path toward completing a buying journey. About 70 percent of online shopping carts (购物车) are left unfinished without a sale, which suggests that potential buyers can easily derail their plans to buy. Sometimes, the realization that you’ll need to get up and get your wallet is enough to prevent you from ending up with a new T-shirt. When buying something feels like making a real choice, you have more opportunities to slow down and consider whether it might be the wrong one. Even with the smoothest shopping experience, there’s still the risk of waste, of future inconvenience, of money lost in the fine print. Frictionless shopping might be convenient, in a sense, but it’s a bad system for making good decisions. 8. What happened after the author paid for the pair of Nike shoes? A. He felt a bit regretful. B. He decided to live a healthy life. C. He became very picky about shoes. D. He shared his excitement with his friends. 9. What aspect of online shopping is mainly stressed in paragraph 3? A. Its variety. B. Its convenience. C. Its personalization. D. Its competitive pricing. 10. What does the underlined word “derail” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make. B. Show. C. Discuss. D. Stop. 11. What advice does the author probably give in the last paragraph? A. Shop online to save time. B. Only shop online for future use. C. Save money by shopping online. D. Think twice before shopping online. D Last week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres coined a new term. The time of global warming has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived. You can see why he said it. July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the world’s third-largest coral reef, off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead. But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes. But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain. Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis. When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen — and act — now we can see what climate change looks like. Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local- and regional-scale (区域级的) droughts, fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is. 12. What made Guterres use the phrase “global boiling”? A. The reviews from critics. B. The new scientific findings. C. The present serious situation. D. The future course of climate change. 13. Why did such phrases as “climate crisis” fail to attract our attention? A. None of these phrases reflect the truth. B. Fewer crises have happened in recent years. C. Many phrases haven’t been mentioned publicly. D. Certain climate disasters haven’t happened to us. 14. What does the author try to say by using “But that is changing”? A. But climate crises are worsening. B. But several crises will be solved. C. But people will face food shortages. D. But people are taking effective measures. 15 What does the author think of Guterres’ saying “global boiling”? A. It is beyond reality. B. It is just to scare people. C. It is reasonably acceptable. D. It is just to comfort the public 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life.

As a homemaker with health issues that kept her from working, she raised the kids while her husband worked at the nearby factory and brought home just enough for them to get by. As Thanksgiving Day neared, Margaret cut costs and saved money. Her goal was to have enough money to buy a fresh turkey for the first time ever, instead of a frozen one. Every year Margaret would find herself staring longingly through the glass case at the local supermarket at the “fresh turkeys,” wishing she could afford one. With the day of thanks fast approaching, Margaret took her shopping list and money over to the store and went to the meat counter to inquire about the birds. As Sal showed her the price of a fresh turkey, she realized her dream was impossible. Sal found himself looking at her weathered shoes and faded coat. He was moved by her situation, saying, “These fresh birds are expensive, but the day before Thanksgiving, we mark them down to half‐off.” Margaret’s eyes lit up and she said, “Then I’ll see you the day before Thanksgiving.” As Turkey Day crept closer, Sal noticed his fresh birds selling much faster than usual. The birds would surely run out before the big day. He knew it would take a special Thanksgiving act of kindness to make sure Margaret got one. So, he took one out of the case and hid it in the freezer in the back. On the day before Thanksgiving, Margaret showed up to see if any fresh turkeys remained. Sal marched to the back and brought her the one he had saved. Delighted, Margaret headed for the checkout. But the grocery store manager didn’t know about Sal’s Thanksgiving act of kindness, warning him that he’d broken the rules by storing a fresh turkey in the back freezer. 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。 “I did set it aside, but not for me,” explained Sal. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She was short of four dollars. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度第二学期期中学业水平测试试题 高二英语 (本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 1.

Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet! Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own. As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much! 4. Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned? A. To describe what made Edgar famous. B To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles. C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project. D. To discuss why Edgar started exploring the national forest. 5. Which of the following can best describe Edgar? A. Determined and caring. B. Creative and influential. C. Talented and productive. D. Adventurous and sociable. 6. What is Edgar’s next plan? A. Encouraging others to join in his cleanup. B. Making a journey to clean Eaton Canyon. C. Cleaning up other parts of the national forest. D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter. C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了20岁的Edgar McGregor如何受到洛杉矶将举办2028年夏季奥运会的启发，开始了他的公园清理项目，并通过社交媒体Twitter记录和鼓励更多人参与，最终对环境做出了积极的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a 'global embarrassment,' so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project(Edgar发现洛杉矶将是2028年夏季奥运会的主办城市。考虑到当时国家森林的状况，他担心满是垃圾的地面会让这座城市成为“全球的尴尬”，所以他决定把清理垃圾作为自己的新爱好项目)”可知，提到2028年夏季奥运会是为了介绍激发Edgar开始他的项目的原因。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.(无论晴雨，Edgar都会去执行他的任务。他在暴风雪、创纪录的热浪，甚至是公园另一侧的森林大火等条件下工作)”以及第五段第一句“The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits(他做的越多，发现的宝藏就越多。除了很多旧iPhone和罐头，Edgar还收集了足够的可回收物品，每几周就能赚30美元左右，他会捐给非营利组织)”可知，Edgar不管什么天气都坚持捡垃圾，并且会把通过捡垃圾赚到的钱捐给慈善机构，可以推理出Edgar是一个有决心的、关心他人的人。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations(埃德加计划每周回Eaton Canyon两到三次以保持维护，但他也很兴奋地开始将他的影响力扩展到新的地点)”可知，埃德加的下一步计划是清理国家森林的其他部分。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets. Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate than ever about his task to save the planet!(20岁的Edgar McGregor决定每天去当地的Eaton Canyon公园捡尽可能多的垃圾，能装满两个提桶。如今，589天过去了，Twitter上有了19000名粉丝，他对拯救地球的任务比以往任何时候都更有热情)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了一个环保英雄的故事。故选A项。 C I’ve bought many things without thinking too much in my life, but the first one that I found uneasy was a pair of Nike VaporMax shoes. It was in July 2018, and I was mindlessly tapping through Instagram updates while waiting for friends. That’s where I saw the advertisement for the shoes. The order took maybe 15 seconds. Almost as soon as I’d paid, I quickly shook off the excitement that had briefly overtaken me, $190 poorer but with one pair of shoes on their way to my apartment. I had completed some version of the online checkout process a million times before, but never could I remember it being quite so thoughtless. That experience wasn’t the result of any just-to-the-market technology. Instead, a handful of small changes to online shopping had grown into something meaningful: Advertisers were collecting stores of personal information with which to target their advertising. Retailers (零售商) were offering free shipping and free returns on everything — buy now, decide later. The widespread use of online payment shortcuts such as Apple Pay was making it unnecessary to create a new account. “Buy now, pay later” services were beginning to appear at more retailers to soften the blow of spending. In the consumer system, friction refers to anything that slows down a potential buyer on the path toward completing a buying journey. About 70 percent of online shopping carts (购物车) are left unfinished without a sale, which suggests that potential buyers can easily derail their plans to buy. Sometimes, the realization that you’ll need to get up and get your wallet is enough to prevent you from ending up with a new T-shirt. When buying something feels like making a real choice, you have more opportunities to slow down and consider whether it might be the wrong one. Even with the smoothest shopping experience, there’s still the risk of waste, of future inconvenience, of money lost in the fine print. Frictionless shopping might be convenient, in a sense, but it’s a bad system for making good decisions. 8. What happened after the author paid for the pair of Nike shoes? A. He felt a bit regretful. B. He decided to live a healthy life. C. He became very picky about shoes. D. He shared his excitement with his friends. 9. What aspect of online shopping is mainly stressed in paragraph 3? A. Its variety. B. Its convenience. C. Its personalization. D. Its competitive pricing. 10. What does the underlined word “derail” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make. B. Show. C. Discuss. D. Stop. 11. What advice does the author probably give in the last paragraph? A. Shop online to save time. B. Only shop online for future use. C. Save money by shopping online. D. Think twice before shopping online. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，作者通过自己购买耐克鞋的经历，探讨了无摩擦购物的现象及影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Almost as soon as I’d paid, I quickly shook off the excitement that had briefly overtaken me, $190 poorer but with one pair of shoes on their way to my apartment. (几乎就在我付款之后，我迅速摆脱了短暂占据我心头的兴奋感，虽然少了190美元，但有一双鞋正在寄往我的公寓。)”可知，作者在付款后感到有些后悔。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Instead, a handful of small changes to online shopping had grown into something meaningful: Advertisers were collecting stores of personal information with which to target their advertising. Retailers (零售商) were offering free shipping and free returns on everything—buy now, decide later. The widespread use of online payment shortcuts such as Apple Pay was making it unnecessary to create a new account. ‘Buy now, pay later’ services were beginning to appear at more retailers to soften the blow of spending.(相反，网购的一些小变化已经发展成有意义的事情：广告商正在收集个人信息以便针对性地投放广告。零售商提供免费送货和免费退货服务——现在购买，稍后决定。像Apple Pay这样的在线支付快捷方式的广泛使用使得创建新账户变得不必要。“先买后付”服务开始在更多零售商中出现，以减轻消费的冲击)”可知，广告商收集个人信息以定向投放广告，零售商提供免费运输和免费退货，广泛使用在线支付快捷方式，如苹果支付，使得创建新账户变得不必要，“先买后付”服务开始在更多零售商中出现，以减轻消费带来的打击。这些变化都体现了网上购物的便利性。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“About 70 percent of online shopping carts ( 购物车) are left unfinished without a sale, which suggests that potential buyers can easily derail their plans to buy. Sometimes, the realization that you’ll need to get up and get your wallet is enough to prevent you from ending up with a new T-shirt. (大约70%的在线购物车在没有完成销售的情况下被遗弃，这表明潜在买家可以很容易地derail他们的购买计划。有时候，意识到你需要站起来拿钱包就足以阻止你最终买了一件新T恤。)”可知，划线词所在句子讲的是有时候意识到需要站起来拿钱包就足以阻止你最终买了一件新T恤，由此可以推测出划线词所在句子讲的是潜在买家很容易破坏他们购买的计划，即划线词意为“破坏、停止”，与D项意思相近，故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When buying something feels like making a real choice, you have more opportunities to slow down and consider whether it might be the wrong one. (当买东西感觉像是做出一个真正的选择时，你就有更多的机会放慢脚步，考虑这是否是错误的选择。)”可推知，作者在最后一段给出的建议是网上购物前要三思而后行。故选D项。 D Last week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres coined a new term. The time of global warming has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived. You can see why he said it. July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the world’s third-largest coral reef, off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead. But critics have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes. But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain. Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis. When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen — and act — now we can see what climate change looks like. Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local- and regional-scale (区域级的) droughts, fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is. 12. What made Guterres use the phrase “global boiling”? A. The reviews from critics. B. The new scientific findings. C. The present serious situation. D. The future course of climate change. 13. Why did such phrases as “climate crisis” fail to attract our attention? A. None of these phrases reflect the truth. B. Fewer crises have happened in recent years. C. Many phrases haven’t been mentioned publicly. D. Certain climate disasters haven’t happened to us. 14. What does the author try to say by using “But that is changing”? A. But climate crises are worsening. B. But several crises will be solved. C. But people will face food shortages. D. But people are taking effective measures. 15. What does the author think of Guterres’ saying “global boiling”? A. It is beyond reality. B. It is just to scare people. C. It is reasonably acceptable. D. It is just to comfort the public 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯提出了“全球沸腾”这一新术语，以描述当前气候变化的严重性。文章讨论了这一术语的使用及其背后的原因，并探讨了人们对气候危机的认识和反应。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the world’s third-largest coral reef, off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead.(七月是有记录以来全球最热的月份。高温和严重的野火席卷了北半球。海洋热浪正在破坏世界第三大珊瑚礁，位于佛罗里达州附近。随着温室气体水平的持续上升，这意味着未来将出现更多更热的夏天。)”可知，Guterres使用“全球沸腾”这个短语是因为目前严峻的形势。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes.(同样，“气候危机”等短语也没有得到足够的关注。这是因为我们中的许多人仍然觉得我们没有亲眼看到这场危机。)”可知，“气候危机”等短语没能引起我们的注意是因为某些气候灾难没有发生在我们身上。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.(但这种情况正在改变。在过去的几年里，极端天气和相关事件袭击了许多国家。澳大利亚的黑色夏季引发了一场大火，烧毁了相当于英国大小的地区。德国在2021年遭受了严重的洪灾。2022年巴基斯坦的洪水淹没了该国的大部分地区。中国经历了干旱和洪涝灾害。非洲之角多年来一直遭受严重干旱。由于大雨造成的破坏，印度已经停止出口大米。)”可知，作者用“But that is changing”想说的是气候变化引发的危机正在恶化。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen — and act — now we can see what climate change looks like.(当古特雷斯使用深刻影响的话语时，他并不是在邀请我们想象好莱坞式的灾难。他所希望的是让人们现在就开始倾听并采取行动，现在我们可以看到气候变化是什么样子的)”可知，作者认为古特雷斯使用“全球沸腾”这一说法是为了让人们倾听并采取行动，因为现在我们可以看到气候变化的样子。因此，作者认为这种说法是合理可接受的。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life.

Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others.(自己坐下来，冥想，写日记。想想你的优点和缺点，你是谁，你不是谁。更好地了解自己。善待自己，就像善待别人一样。)”是培养自信的方法，空格后的句子“You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others.(你甚至可能开始注意到你与他人交往的方式发生了变化。)”提到这样做的好处，空格处的句子也应该是提到这样练习的好处，所以D项“These practices can be beneficial.(这些做法是有益的。)”符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role.(有时候，在朝着一个目标努力的过程中，获得一些额外的帮助会起到重要的作用。)”和空格后的句子“People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are.(当你需要提醒自己你是谁，你是多么的独特、特别和被爱的时候，了解你的人会帮助你。)”可知，空格处的句子应该说“和其他人交流，得到他人的帮助”，所以，E项“You can benefit from talking to others.(你可以从与他人交谈中获益。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分35分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last Sunday, Jake Snelling and his friends went up to the mountains to do some exploring.

As a homemaker with health issues that kept her from working, she raised the kids while her husband worked at the nearby factory and brought home just enough for them to get by. As Thanksgiving Day neared, Margaret cut costs and saved money. Her goal was to have enough money to buy a fresh turkey for the first time ever, instead of a frozen one. Every year Margaret would find herself staring longingly through the glass case at the local supermarket at the “fresh turkeys,” wishing she could afford one. With the day of thanks fast approaching, Margaret took her shopping list and money over to the store and went to the meat counter to inquire about the birds. As Sal showed her the price of a fresh turkey, she realized her dream was impossible. Sal found himself looking at her weathered shoes and faded coat. He was moved by her situation, saying, “These fresh birds are expensive, but the day before Thanksgiving, we mark them down to half‐off.” Margaret’s eyes lit up and she said, “Then I’ll see you the day before Thanksgiving.” As Turkey Day crept closer, Sal noticed his fresh birds selling much faster than usual. The birds would surely run out before the big day. He knew it would take a special Thanksgiving act of kindness to make sure Margaret got one. So, he took one out of the case and hid it in the freezer in the back. On the day before Thanksgiving, Margaret showed up to see if any fresh turkeys remained. Sal marched to the back and brought her the one he had saved. Delighted, Margaret headed for the checkout. But the grocery store manager didn’t know about Sal’s Thanksgiving act of kindness, warning him that he’d broken the rules by storing a fresh turkey in the back freezer. 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。 “I did set it aside, but not for me,” explained Sal. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She was short of four dollars. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I did set it aside, but not for me, ” explained Sal. “There’s a customer, Margaret, who has been saving up for a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving. I wanted to make sure she could get one, even if it meant holding one back.” Sal shared Margaret’s story with the manager, who listened carefully. Understanding the situation, the manager nodded thoughtfully, then quietly pulled out his wallet. He handed Sal a few bills, saying, “Use this to cover the difference. We’ll call it a store discount for today only. Make sure she gets her turkey. ” She was short of four dollars. Margaret stood at the checkout, counting her coins, her face flushed with embarrassment. Just as she was about to put back a bag of cranberry sauce to save money, Sal approached with a smile. “Margaret, there’s been a special discount on turkeys today,” he said, winking at the manager. “Your turkey now costs exactly what you have.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Margaret thanked both men. She left the store with her precious turkey, tears of joy in her eyes, knowing that this Thanksgiving would be extra special, not just because of the turkey, but because of the kindness of strangers. 【解析】 【导语】本文以圣诞节购买新鲜火鸡为线索展开，讲述了家庭主妇Margaret因经济困难一直渴望能买一只新鲜火鸡，善良的售货员Sal为帮她提前藏了一只火鸡，却在结账时遭遇困难的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我把它留出来，但不是为我自己，’Sal 解释道。”可知，第一段可描写Sal向经理解释原因，经理做出善举。 ②由第二段首句内容“她还差四美元。”可知，第二段可描写Margaret钱不够时Sal善意帮忙，Margaret最终买到火鸡，心怀感激。 2.续写线索：Sal 解释——经理理解——经理帮忙——Margaret 钱不够——Sal 帮忙——买到火鸡——心怀感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：understand / be aware of ②支付：cover / pay /afford ③接近：approach / come near 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment / awkwardness ②感激：gratitude / thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型 1].
