Lonely Planet just revealed its top travel destinations for the year ahead. The Best in Travel 2024 list is expanded across several categories. Top country destination The No.1 country is Mongolia, chosen for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and distinctive musical culture. This is the world’s most sparsely (稀少地) populated country and the Mongolian government is ready to start filling it up a little. This year it declared 2023 through 2025 the “Years to Visit Mongolia”. Top city destination The top city Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, is known for its unique rhythms, locally inspired restaurants, and its art venues. The Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a place where you can see more than 400 species wandering on the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the skyline. Sustainability The top sustainable travel destination for 2024 is Spain, because of the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to boost off-season travel and to bring tourism to newly-developed destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, thereby easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Easy on the bank balance The best-value category will be of particular interest to those living on a shoestring. The under-explored American Midwest is the top tip here: in cities such as Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, you’ll find old warehouses transformed into art studios, uniquely-designed hotels and many Michelin-starred restaurants. 1 What can people do in Nairobi? A. Try different adventure activities. B. Visit Michelin-starred restaurants. C. Watch animals walking on grass plains. D. Appreciate distinctive musical culture. 2. What is a reason for Spain to be chosen as a top travel destination? A. It has improved services in hot spots. B. It offers discounts for off-season trips. C. It is devoted to expanding renewable energy. D. It has developed pressure-relieving programs. 3. Which of the following is most suitable for people on a tight budget? A. Mongolia. B. Nairobi. C. Spain. D. American Midwest. B Raised in Bengaluru, Meera has always showed a keen interest in exploring the city’s rich heritage. She used to visit many lesser-known structures around the city. As an enthusiast, she enjoyed uncovering these hidden treasures and had always longed to make a meaningful contribution. When she grew up, Meera worked as a writer, focusing on topics related to forests and science. She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation. A key moment that redirected her career path was a visit to Devanahalli Fort. During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it. To preserve the forgotten heritage, she joined INTACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of unprotected architectural heritage all over India. There are thousands of monument s in the country protected by the government. However, there are also small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that hold historical significance but are ignored. Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project. In the past years, they have restored buildings in and around Bengaluru such as Mayo Hall, Tipu’s Armoury, Gangubai Hangal, Museum, the Old OPD Building at NIMHANS which is now a museum, the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru among others. They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge. However, she felt jammy enough to find enthusiastic individuals wanting to contribute as well as government funding here and there. 4 What does Meera truly love? A. Writing articles. B. Protecting heritage. C. Studying science. D. Exploring forests. 5. What made Meera surprised about Devanahalli Fort? A. It had such a long history. B. Its heritage was well protected. C. Its history and heritage were unknown. D. It was of great architectural importance. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Meera and the team? A. Their advantages. B. Their efforts. C. Their difficulties. D. Their spirits. 7. What does the underlined word “jammy” mean in the last paragraph? A. Upset. B. Anxious. C. Fortunate. D. Familiar. C Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 8. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk? A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The destination. 9. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi? A. It is a perfect place to run shops. B. There are great things to do at weekends. C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there. D. It provides great experiences in many ways. 10 What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk? A. She thought it well worth a try. B. She went on the tour without company. C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself. D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism. B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends. C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular. D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit. D Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading. I have to dissent. I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me. When I have a new book, I read fast, eager to discover the resolution. Then if I like the book, I will read it again. Not right away, but a few months later, possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details. I will read more slowly the second time, appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections, enjoying the anticipation. Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything. I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book. Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment. Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with something more inside. What have I been reading lately? The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart. These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads. Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories. If you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend all three books, especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction. 12. What does the underlined word “descent” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Understand. B. Disagree. C. Complain. D. Discontinue. 13. According to the author’s professor, what should one do during the second reading? A. Look for assignment clues. B. Pay attention to the minor details. C. Stick to the most interesting sections. D. Skip some parts to get to the end fast. 14. What does the author enjoy about rereading a book? A. Visiting the places mentioned in the book. B. Discovering the resolution of the story quickly. C. Finding out the lessons learned by the characters. D. Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques. 15. What is The Merlin Trilogy? A. The author’s new favorites. B. A series of science-fiction novels. C. Books based on ancient British stories. D. Mary Stewart’s successful adaptations. 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。 How writing has helped my life Writing has and is changing my life and these are some of the ways it has greatly helped me over the years.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied, and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 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。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BABAC 6-10 CBACA 11-15 BCBCB 16-20 AACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语(试题卷) (时量：120分钟，满分：150分) 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.请将答案填写在答题卡上。 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。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.

The under-explored American Midwest is the top tip here: in cities such as Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, you’ll find old warehouses transformed into art studios, uniquely-designed hotels and many Michelin-starred restaurants.(对于那些手头拮据的人来说，最具价值的类别将特别感兴趣。未开发的美国中西部是这里的首选:在芝加哥、密尔沃基和底特律等城市，你会发现旧仓库被改造成艺术工作室，设计独特的酒店和许多米其林星级餐厅。)”可知，对于预算有限的人来说，美国中西部是最具价值的选择，因为在这里可以找到由旧仓库改造的艺术工作室、独特设计的酒店以及许多米其林星级餐厅。故选D。 B Raised in Bengaluru, Meera has always showed a keen interest in exploring the city’s rich heritage. She used to visit many lesser-known structures around the city. As an enthusiast, she enjoyed uncovering these hidden treasures and had always longed to make a meaningful contribution. When she grew up, Meera worked as a writer, focusing on topics related to forests and science. She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation. A key moment that redirected her career path was a visit to Devanahalli Fort. During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it. To preserve the forgotten heritage, she joined INTACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of unprotected architectural heritage all over India. There are thousands of monument s in the country protected by the government. However, there are also small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that hold historical significance but are ignored. Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project. In the past years, they have restored buildings in and around Bengaluru such as Mayo Hall, Tipu’s Armoury, Gangubai Hangal, Museum, the Old OPD Building at NIMHANS which is now a museum, the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru among others. They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge. However, she felt jammy enough to find enthusiastic individuals wanting to contribute as well as government funding here and there. 4. What does Meera truly love? A. Writing articles. B. Protecting heritage. C. Studying science. D. Exploring forests. 5. What made Meera surprised about Devanahalli Fort? A. It had such a long history. B. Its heritage was well protected. C. Its history and heritage were unknown. D. It was of great architectural importance. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Meera and the team? A. Their advantages. B. Their efforts. C. Their difficulties. D. Their spirits. 7. What does the underlined word “jammy” mean in the last paragraph? A. Upset. B. Anxious. C. Fortunate. D. Familiar. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Meera在去Devanahalli Fort的旅行中发现网上缺少关于这个地方的历史与遗迹的信息，受此启发，她开始致力于修复和保护被忽视的历史遗迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation.(她最初追求写作，后来才发现自己对遗产保护的真正热情)”可知，她真正的爱好是遗迹保护。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it.(在访问期间，她意识到网上缺乏关于其历史和遗产的信息。这个地方的意义不仅在于历史，而且在于建筑。但在那里，她感到震惊的是，似乎没有人知道这件事)”可知，网上缺少关于Devanahalli Fort历史与遗迹的信息，Devanahalli Fort有着重要的历史和建筑意义，但似乎没有人知道这个地方，对此她感到惊讶。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project.(除了修复和保护，他们还举办遗产讲座，让人们熟悉他们城市的遗产。虽然他们确实欢迎游客和旅行者，但他们对吸引当地民众的重视是显而易见的。该组织还举办了几次遗产步行活动，以传播人们对隐藏遗产的认识。此外，该团队从寻找未来的建筑开始，然后获得资金，然后找到适合该项目的建筑师和工程师)”可知，本段主要介绍了Meera加入了致力于保护被忽略的历史遗迹的组织，除了修复和保护历史遗迹，他们还举办活动让人们了解这些历史遗迹。即，本段告诉我们为了保护历史遗迹INTACH这个机构团体以及Meera所做的努力。故选B。 7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge.(他们面临许多问题，资金是主要挑战) ”可知，他们面临很多问题，筹资是主要困难。再根据表示转折的“However”可知，她感到非常幸运，因为可以得到个人和政府的捐助。所以划线单词的意思为“幸运的”。故选C。 C Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 8. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk? A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The destination. 9. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi? A. It is a perfect place to run shops. B. There are great things to do at weekends. C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there. D. It provides great experiences in many ways. 10. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk? A. She thought it well worth a try. B. She went on the tour without company. C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself. D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism. B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends. C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular. D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在越来越多的人选择城市漫步这种更轻松悠闲的方式来体验城市生活，呈现了这种旅行方式的含义、特点、类型和优势，以及体验者的具体感受。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. (忘记“特种兵式旅行”吧，在这种旅行中，人们倾向于在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方)”和第二段中“Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. (与特种兵式旅行不同，城市漫步是指通过步行在一个城市里漫步，感受那里的氛围，发现一些即使是城市居民以前也可能没有注意到的不寻常的东西)”可知，特种兵式旅行和城市漫步之间的主要区别在于目的不同，前者是为了在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方，后者是为了感受城市的氛围，发现细微的不寻常之处。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Nan Xi所说的第一段话“I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos. (我认为上海是一个非常适合城市漫步的城市。街道两旁有大树，商店出售不同的产品，是情侣和朋友一起散步和拍照的理想场所)”可知，她认为上海非常适合城市漫步，有大树、许多商店，可以散步、拍照。由此可知，于她而言，上海的城市漫步在很多方面提供了很棒的体验。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Nan Xi所说的第二段话“If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai (如果是我一个人走，我只会觉得街道很有艺术感，但那天的旅行让我更好地了解了西方文化是如何与上海本土文化融合在一起的)”以及“Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. (另一个令人惊讶的好处是，她和两个同行的人成为了朋友)”可知，通过这次的城市漫步，她更好地理解了西方文化与上海本土文化的融合，还交到了朋友。由此可知，她认为这种漫步值得一试。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. (一种更轻松悠闲的选择，比如“城市漫步”，正成为城市年轻人的常态)”可知，文章围绕城市漫步成为城市旅游的新趋势展开，介绍了这种旅游方式的含义、特点、类型和优势，以及体验者的具体感受。故选A项。 D Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading. I have to dissent. I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me. When I have a new book, I read fast, eager to discover the resolution. Then if I like the book, I will read it again. Not right away, but a few months later, possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details. I will read more slowly the second time, appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections, enjoying the anticipation. Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything. I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book. Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment. Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with something more inside. What have I been reading lately? The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart. These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads. Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories. If you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend all three books, especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction. 12. What does the underlined word “descent” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Understand. B. Disagree. C. Complain. D. Discontinue. 13. According to the author’s professor, what should one do during the second reading? A. Look for assignment clues. B. Pay attention to the minor details. C. Stick to the most interesting sections. D. Skip some parts to get to the end fast. 14. What does the author enjoy about rereading a book? A. Visiting the places mentioned in the book. B. Discovering the resolution of the story quickly. C. Finding out the lessons learned by the characters. D. Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques. 15. What is The Merlin Trilogy? A. The author’s new favorites. B. A series of science-fiction novels. C. Books based on ancient British stories. D. Mary Stewart’s successful adaptations. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者喜欢重读书籍，认为重读一本书让作者有机会欣赏作者融入故事的小细节。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading.(有些人从不再读一本书，因为他们觉得既然已经知道了结果，再读也没有什么收获)”以及第二段“I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me.(我想起了大学里的一位教授，他总是让我们把作业看两遍。他说：“第一次，为了乐趣而快速阅读。第二次，寻找微妙的区别和意义上的微小差异。”他的建议对我很有用)”可知，上文提到有些人从不再读一本书，因为他们觉得既然已经知道了结果，再读也没有什么收获，而作者喜欢重读，所以不同意这一观点。故划线词意思是“不同意”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.(第二次，寻找微妙的区别和意义上的微小差异)”可知，在再次阅读期间应该注意细节。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning.(重读一本书让我有机会欣赏作者融入故事的小细节。人物的一个转头，夜晚的一个念头，一声叹息，这些都是洞察一本书和人物的东西。我喜欢把一个故事再分析一遍，寻找能赋予故事深刻含义的线索)”可知，作者喜欢重读一本书来欣赏叙事技巧。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories.(故事发生在大约公元5世纪下半叶的英国，是玛丽·斯图尔特改编的熟悉的亚瑟王故事)”可知，梅林三部曲是根据古代英国故事改编的书。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How writing has helped my life Writing has and is changing my life and these are some of the ways it has greatly helped me over the years. My writing got better. Writing did make me become a better writer. ____16____ It’s almost impossible to keep doing something over and over again without getting better at it, so when I say writing has improved my writing skills, it would be foolish to disagree.

Before, I had to check and recheck every word I wanted to use in an article to be sure I was using it correctly. ____17____ And I’m proud to say that I can use words effectively without having to run to a dictionary every second. My imagination and speed grew.

So next time you’re lonely or just bubbling with anxiety, try writing. ____20____ Just pour out your heart on your paper or screen. A. My mental health has improved. B.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。短文介绍了写作给作者带来的诸多益处。 【16题详解】 根据下文“It’s almost impossible to keep doing something over and over again without getting better at it, so when I say writing has improved my writing skills, it would be foolish to disagree.”（如果一件事不做得更好，反复做它几乎是不可能的，所以当我说写作提高了我的写作技巧时，不同意是愚蠢的。）可知，本段要谈了“（不断）写作让作者的写作技能得到提升。Practice makes perfect与下文中的It’s almost impossible to keep doing something over and over again ... getting better at it ... has improved my writing skills相呼应。故D选项“我们都知道“熟能生巧”这句话”切题。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Before, I had to check and recheck every word I wanted to use in an article to be sure I was using it correctly.”（ 以前，我必须反复检查我想在文章中使用的每个单词，以确保我使用的是正确的。）根据下文“And I’m proud to say that I can use words effectively without having to run to a dictionary every second.”（ 我很自豪地说，我可以有效地使用单词，而不必每秒钟都去查字典。）可知，前一句是说，作者以前写作时要反复斟酌单词，后一句是说，她现在不需要查词典就能灵活使用单词，因此，C项“现在，我肩上轻松多了”符合语境。C项中的Now和前一句中的Before形成对照，that weight指代前一句中的I had to check and recheck every word。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据设空处前一句“The more I wrote, the more my imagination grew so that everything around me started becoming an inspiration for an article.”（我写得越多，我的想象力就越丰富，所以我周围的一切都开始成为一篇文章的灵感）可知，作者的想象力越来越丰富，身边的任何东西都能成为她文章的灵感来源，因此，G项“我可以看着一支铅笔，写出一篇500字的文章”符合语境。G项是对前一句内容的具体举例说明。故选G项。 【19题详解】 设空处为小标题。后面一段的内容“Just the act of putting down some words and creating a work of pure imagination gives me inner joy and peace. Whenever I feel down, I write.”（仅仅是放下一些文字，创作一个纯粹想象的作品，就能给我内心的快乐和平静。每当我感到沮丧时，我就会写作。）主要谈了写作有助于抒发情绪，故A项“我的心理健康得到了改善”符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Writing is a skill that anyone could acquire if they put hard work into it. So next time you’re lonely or just bubbling with anxiety, try writing.”（ 写作是一种任何人只要努力学习就能掌握的技能。所以，下次当你感到孤独或焦虑时，试着写作吧。）及下文“Just pour out your heart on your paper or screen.”（只要在纸上或屏幕上倾诉你的内心。）设空处前后两句建议人们投入写作，故F项“不要担心自己是否完美，因为没有人是完美的”表明任何人都可以写作，鼓励大家投入写作，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In early January 2024 Jimmy struggled through snow and ice to summit the Vinson Massif, Antarctica’s highest peak.

Human activities such as war, urbanization, and tourism have damaged many cultural sites, and we risk losing them forever. It is time for us to take action and protect our global heritage. The incredible splendour of heritage sites is a reminder of the power of nature and the genius of man. It is in places like Jiuzhaigou Valley that we cannot help but be humbled, come to understand our limitations as human beings, and know that our duty is to protect them for future generations. Besides, heritage sites provide us with opportunities to wonder, to be inspired and to think more deeply about our time on the Earth. As Cicero remarked, “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.” Let us work together to protect it for future generations.

However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a part-time job at a popular restaurant. The reason was simple: I needed money. I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars. “You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said. So I applied, and Mr. Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try. My job was super easy and boring: the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers. The first few days were tiring but OK. However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush. I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy. I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous. One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration. I felt desperate. I screwed everything up. Then I heard Mr. Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low. To my surprise, he didn’t blame me. Instead, he made me a cup of coffee. “Relax, young man,” he said. “Try to smile. Things always go wrong if you can’t really enjoy what you’re doing. Feel the fun in the job, and you’ll be OK!” I thought he was right. The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed: in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers’ requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping. This was incredible! 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。 My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change. I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job. Following the smiles were natural conversations, jokes and laughter, and an air of harmony was created where I worked. I still made some mistakes like forgetting the change or wrong deliveries, but they were easily corrected with a little kind reminding. I even tried helping out in the kitchen preparing the food. “You can be a good chef!” They encouraged me. Why not? Who knew! On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr. Smith’s office again when I finished my job. I thanked him for giving me the job opportunity, especially for forgiving me when I caused chaos. My gratitude was sincere, for the experience not just greatly promoted my understanding of restaurant jobs, but was beneficial to anything else I would do. In return, Mr. Smith thanked me for my job performance, and paid me the salary that I needed for my camp trip. My father was right: I had to earn it by myself, because what I gained was a lot more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为了赚取去露营的费用，决定在一家受欢迎的餐厅申请兼职工作。尽管他对餐厅厨房的混乱声音感到不适，但经济需求促使他申请了这个职位。他的工作是将厨房做好的菜送到顾客那里，虽然简单但很快他就感到了压力，尤其是在高峰时段。他犯了一些错误，如打翻饮料和搞混订单，这让他感到绝望和尴尬。然而，餐厅老板Smith先生并没有责怪他，而是鼓励他放松并享受工作，认为这样会改善他的表现。受到启发后，作者尝试以积极的态度看待工作，惊讶地发现厨房中的混乱其实是有序的。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我对餐馆工作的态度开始改变”可知，第一段可描写作者开始积极地对待自己的工作，认真地干活，以及作者虽然还是会犯错，但是会及时纠正，心情轻松很多。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我合同的最后一天，我下班后又去了Smith先生的办公室”可知，第二段可描写作者真诚地感谢Smith先生，并领取自己的薪水，以及作者从这个经历中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：工作态度转变——积极工作——心情变化——去Smith先生的办公室——感谢Smith先生——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①遇到：meet/encounter ②专注于：concentrate on/focus on ③创造：create/generate ④促进：promote/facilitate/advance ⑤收获：gain/attain/achieve 情绪类 ①放松的：relaxed/relieved ②感激：gratitude/gratefulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job.
