Here are some fantastic options for you. Tokyo DisneySea, Japan Tokyo Disney Resort tops the must-visit list for many Disney theme park fans. Tokyo Disneyland is very similar to Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland Park in California, but Tokyo DisneySea is unique with its nautical (海上的) theme, fantastical lands and beautiful sections inspired by the Mediterranean, Arabian and American coasts. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates This primarily indoor Ferrari-inspired theme park in Abu Dhabi is a must-visit for car and thrill lovers. It’s home to the world’s fastest roller coaster Formula Rossa, which reaches speeds of 149 mph. When visiting, make sure you also take advantage of the driving experiences, on which you can go around Yas Island behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Tivoli Gardens, Denmark One of the world’s oldest operating amusement parks, Tivoli Gardens is a must-visit attraction in the heart of Copenhagen. The park dates back to 1843, and it has rides, theaters, and restaurants spread across its charming grounds and gardens. During the holidays, the park is extra magical with its annual festival when the scene lights up with decorations. Efteling, Netherlands Efteling is the Netherlands’ largest and one of Europe’s most-visited amusement parks. Its imaginative rides, gardens and attractions are themed to Dutch folklore and fairy tales, including a 15-acre Fairytale Forest with more than two dozen scenes. For example, thrill-seekers can line up for a thrill ride on the Flying Dutchman water coaster. 21. Where should you go if you are into beaches? A. Tokyo DisneySea. B. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. C.

They hold annual festivals. C. They provide water coasters. D. They include rides and gardens. B The dog is moving through the grass, closely followed by bear biologist Carrie Hunt, who is observing his reactions as he sees the grizzly bear carcass (尸体) for the first time. “Find it,” says Hunt, encouraging the two-month-old puppy. The puppy’s ears and tail are up as he approaches the bear, but with the confidence that Hunt is looking for in a bear conflict dog. This is a Karelian bear dog, a type of animal known to be fearless and capable of standing up to large mammals. People once used them to hunt. Today, Hunt is using them to keep bears alive. Karelian puppies undergo a series of procedures where trainers teach them the right behaviours and evaluate their personality and how they react. Just 20% will make the cut as bear conflict dogs. When ready, they are distributed across North America—for example, working with the Alaska fire service to keep firefighters safe and reduce the number of bears killed. In America, bears live in landscapes where the human footprint is expanding. Consequently, people and predators (捕食性动物) are forced to share space, setting the stage for increased conflicts. Historically, wildlife managers tried to scare bears away with noise makers and rubber bullets (子弹), but that did not always work. Now the wildlife department is employing dogs. When a bear dares to come too close, the dogs chase it away in a brief pursuit. “For the bear, it is a bad experience,” Hunt says. Bears are born to be wary of animals of the dog family as wolves can kill their babies. The lesson taught by the dogs is one that the bears seem to remember. A study found that bears that had encounters with bear dogs spent less time in urban areas. “The dogs make me a better biologist because they allow me to keep bears in the landscape as long as I possibly can, rather than having to kill and remove them,” Hunt says. 24. What do you think of the dog from his reaction at the first sight of the carcass? A. Observant and aggressive. B. Mindful but fearful. C. Determined and skilled. D. Cautious but brave. 25. What do we know about the training? A. It starts with dogs recognizing bear carcasses. B. A very small percentage survives the selection. C. Personality tests really weigh the most heavily. D. Firefighters teamed with dogs further the training. 26. What do the underlined words “be wary of” most probably mean? A. Be watchful of. B. Be ashamed of. C. Be envious of. D. Be fond of. 27. What is the purpose of training the bear conflict dogs? A. To keep more bear dogs alive. B. To evaluate the training procedures. C. To train would-be biologists. D. To resolve human-animal conflicts. C You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears. You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying. But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis. While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day. “For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said. 28. What is sleep paralysis? A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep. B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders. C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality. D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen. 29. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience? A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation. C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility. 30. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis? A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases. C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move D There’s an enormous amount of personal health information people now feed or tap into digital monitors, health apps, search engines and other online tools. If the same information were provided in your doctor’s office, your privacy would be safeguarded. But that’s not how the digitized health world works. Instead, we have an ecosystem of abuse in which health technology companies operate largely outside the law that requires doctors and other medical personnel, hospitals and insurers to protect an individual’s health information. That means technology companies can — and do — dig your digital data for clues about your health status, accessing information like prescriptions you have purchased and other health services you might have sought, and potentially link this information to your name, address, email address and other personally identifying information. The data can then be used by platforms including Facebook and Google to help advertisers target promotions or other communications to you. It’s a gaping hole in health privacy protections that comes from the privacy law, which protects interactions between patients, medical professionals and insurers but does not, in most cases, protect patient health data that is recorded on new technologies. Closing the patient privacy gap can- and should -be a priority for lawmakers. The consequences of digital exposure for those seeking reproductive services have drawn significant concern and attention. These worries are reasonable. But reproductive care is only one area of health services where private patient information is digitally disclosed. Therefore, lawmakers must take action to protect the privacy of people who are now online for all manners of personal, professional and other reasons. Until then, a narrowly targeted approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect. The explosion of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it greatly. 32. What can we learn about the present situation of the digitized health world? A. Personal health data is used for other purposes. B. Personal health information is difficult to identify. C. Targeted promotions are used to improve people’s health. D. Medical personnel protect the personal health information well. 33. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present privacy law? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The spread of health service. B. People’s privacy. C. A narrowly targeted approach. D. The explosion of digital technology. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advocate improvement in the privacy law. B. To report cases of illegal information exposure. C. To explain how the digitized health world works. D. To introduce a debate on the effect of technology. 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。 There’s no good reason not to have a meaningful life. ____36____ But through careful thinking and self-reflection, we can take steps to change that.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绵阳中学实验学校高2022级高二(下)模拟考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。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. 回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第I卷(选择题) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation probably take place?

A. Chopsticks have a history of 5,000 years. B. There are some manners with chopsticks. C. About 1.5 million people are using chopsticks. 20. Why does Asian cooking come in small pieces? A. More tasty. B. More convenient. C. More energy-saving. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: It is such a sort of instrumental part of our cooking vocabulary and it is interesting that there are people who live without chopsticks. Chopsticks are a pair of two long sticks used to eat things with one hand. Holding chopsticks is a little bit like holding a pencil. Most of them are made out of wood. They’re also made out of plastic, bamboo, gold, silver and even ivory. There is evidence of chopsticks as long ago as the Shang Dynasty, which is about three thousand years ago. Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bits of food. They’re good for picking up noodles. If you’re skilled, you can eat rice, pick up dumplings and pieces of meat. There are some no-nos with chopsticks. You should not use the chopsticks like drumsticks. You don’t want to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice face- up and it’s sort of like the sign of death. Chopticks are used in a huge portion of the world across much of Asia. About one point five billion people are covered in the chopsticks sphere. Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round. Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal. Japanese chopsticks tend to be round and very very pointy. One of the things about Asian cooking is that it often comes in very small pieces and I think part of that has to do with the fact that it’s actually a lot more energy efficient to cook little pieces quickly. 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、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Whether you’re a thrill-seeker looking for the world’s most intense roller coasters or a family planning a vacation filled with fun for parents and kids, theme parks have something for everyone. Here are some fantastic options for you. Tokyo DisneySea, Japan Tokyo Disney Resort tops the must-visit list for many Disney theme park fans. Tokyo Disneyland is very similar to Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland Park in California, but Tokyo DisneySea is unique with its nautical (海上的) theme, fantastical lands and beautiful sections inspired by the Mediterranean, Arabian and American coasts. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates This primarily indoor Ferrari-inspired theme park in Abu Dhabi is a must-visit for car and thrill lovers. It’s home to the world’s fastest roller coaster Formula Rossa, which reaches speeds of 149 mph. When visiting, make sure you also take advantage of the driving experiences, on which you can go around Yas Island behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Tivoli Gardens, Denmark One of the world’s oldest operating amusement parks, Tivoli Gardens is a must-visit attraction in the heart of Copenhagen. The park dates back to 1843, and it has rides, theaters, and restaurants spread across its charming grounds and gardens. During the holidays, the park is extra magical with its annual festival when the scene lights up with decorations. Efteling, Netherlands Efteling is the Netherlands’ largest and one of Europe’s most-visited amusement parks. Its imaginative rides, gardens and attractions are themed to Dutch folklore and fairy tales, including a 15-acre Fairytale Forest with more than two dozen scenes. For example, thrill-seekers can line up for a thrill ride on the Flying Dutchman water coaster. 21. Where should you go if you are into beaches? A. Tokyo DisneySea. B. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. C.

They hold annual festivals. C. They provide water coasters. D. They include rides and gardens. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了4个主题公园。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tokyo DisneySea, Japan部分中“Tokyo DisneySea is unique with its nautical (海上的) theme, fantastical lands and beautiful sections inspired by the Mediterranean, Arabian and American coasts.(东京迪士尼海洋是独一无二的，它以航海为主题，奇幻的土地和美丽的部分，灵感来自地中海、阿拉伯和美洲海岸)”可知，如果你喜欢海滩，你应该去东京迪士尼海洋。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates部分中“It’s home to the world’s fastest roller coaster Formula Rossa, which reaches speeds of 149 mph.(这里有世界上最快的过山车Formula Rossa，时速可达149英里)”可知，阿布扎比法拉利世界的特别之处是它有世界上最快的过山车。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tivoli Gardens, Denmark部分中“The park dates back to 1843, and it has rides, theaters, and restaurants spread across its charming grounds and gardens.(这个公园的历史可以追溯到1843年，它有游乐设施、剧院和餐馆，分布在迷人的地面和花园中)”和Efteling, Netherlands部分中“Its imaginative rides, gardens and attractions are themed to Dutch folklore and fairy tales, including a 15-acre Fairytale Forest with more than two dozen scenes.(它富有想象力的游乐设施、花园和景点都以荷兰民间传说和童话为主题，包括一个15英亩的童话森林，有20多个场景)”可知，Tivoli Gardens和Efteling的共同点是它们都包括游乐设施和花园。故选D项。 B The dog is moving through the grass, closely followed by bear biologist Carrie Hunt, who is observing his reactions as he sees the grizzly bear carcass (尸体) for the first time. “Find it,” says Hunt, encouraging the two-month-old puppy. The puppy’s ears and tail are up as he approaches the bear, but with the confidence that Hunt is looking for in a bear conflict dog. This is a Karelian bear dog, a type of animal known to be fearless and capable of standing up to large mammals. People once used them to hunt. Today, Hunt is using them to keep bears alive. Karelian puppies undergo a series of procedures where trainers teach them the right behaviours and evaluate their personality and how they react. Just 20% will make the cut as bear conflict dogs. When ready, they are distributed across North America—for example, working with the Alaska fire service to keep firefighters safe and reduce the number of bears killed. In America, bears live in landscapes where the human footprint is expanding. Consequently, people and predators (捕食性动物) are forced to share space, setting the stage for increased conflicts. Historically, wildlife managers tried to scare bears away with noise makers and rubber bullets (子弹), but that did not always work. Now the wildlife department is employing dogs. When a bear dares to come too close, the dogs chase it away in a brief pursuit. “For the bear, it is a bad experience,” Hunt says. Bears are born to be wary of animals of the dog family as wolves can kill their babies. The lesson taught by the dogs is one that the bears seem to remember. A study found that bears that had encounters with bear dogs spent less time in urban areas. “The dogs make me a better biologist because they allow me to keep bears in the landscape as long as I possibly can, rather than having to kill and remove them,” Hunt says. 24. What do you think of the dog from his reaction at the first sight of the carcass? A. Observant and aggressive. B. Mindful but fearful. C. Determined and skilled. D. Cautious but brave. 25. What do we know about the training? A. It starts with dogs recognizing bear carcasses. B. A very small percentage survives the selection. C. Personality tests really weigh the most heavily. D. Firefighters teamed with dogs further the training. 26. What do the underlined words “be wary of” most probably mean? A. Be watchful of. B. Be ashamed of. C. Be envious of. D. Be fond of. 27. What is the purpose of training the bear conflict dogs? A. To keep more bear dogs alive. B. To evaluate the training procedures. C. To train would-be biologists. D. To resolve human-animal conflicts. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生物学家通过培训狗来赶走熊，以此减少人熊冲突。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The puppy’s ears and tail are up as he approaches the bear, but with the confidence that Hunt is looking for in a bear conflict dog. (当这只小狗接近熊时，它的耳朵和尾巴都竖起来了，但亨特在熊对抗犬身上寻找到了自信。)及第二段中“This is a Karelian bear dog, a type of animal known to be fearless and capable of standing up to large mammals. (这是一只卡累利阿熊狗，一种以无所畏惧和能够对抗大型哺乳动物而闻名的动物。)”可知，这只狗第一眼看到尸体时它谨慎但勇敢。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Just 20% will make the cut as bear conflict dogs. (只有20%的狗会成为熊冲突犬。)”可知，只有很小的一部分狗通过了选拔。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线短语后的“as wolves can kill their babies (因为狼会杀死它们的孩子)”可知犬类动物会吃掉熊仔，所以熊对犬类动物就特别小心警惕。A. Be watchful of警惕，提防；B. Be ashamed of感到羞愧；C. Be envious of.羡慕；D. Be fond of喜欢。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In America, bears live in landscapes where the human footprint is expanding. Consequently, people and predators (捕食性动物) are forced to share space, setting the stage for increased conflicts. Historically, wildlife managers tried to scare bears away with noise makers and rubber bullets (子弹), but that did not always work. Now the wildlife department is employing dogs. When a bear dares to come too close, the dogs chase it away in a brief pursuit. (在美国，熊生活在人类足迹不断扩大的地区。因此，人类和掠食者被迫共享空间，为不断增加的冲突创造了条件。从历史上看，野生动物管理者试图用噪音制造者和橡皮子弹来吓跑熊，但这并不总是奏效。现在野生动物部门正在雇佣狗。当熊敢靠得太近时，狗会短暂地把它赶走。 )”和最后一段““The dogs make me a better biologist because they allow me to keep bears in the landscape as long as I possibly can, rather than having to kill and remove them, ” Hunt says. (亨特说:“这些狗让我成为了一个更好的生物学家，因为它们让我尽可能长时间地把熊留在这片土地上，而不是杀死和带走它们。”)”可知，生物学家通过培训狗来赶走熊，以此减少人熊冲突。故选D。 C You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears. You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying. But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis. While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day. “For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said. 28. What is sleep paralysis? A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep. B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders. C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality. D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen. 29. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience? A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation. C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility. 30. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis? A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases. C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了睡眠瘫痪这一现象，睡眠瘫痪是一段在睡眠时发生的清醒却不能移动的感觉，分析出现睡眠瘫痪的原因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.(你刚刚经历了睡眠瘫痪，这是专家给睡眠中发生的各种奇怪的事情起的名字。当大脑暂时使身体失去功能，以防止它在REM睡眠期间发生生动的梦时，就会发生这种情况。它通常伴随着一种不动的感觉，和一种窒息的感觉。好消息是，这是绝对正常的，即使这很可怕。)”可知，睡眠瘫痪是一种有意识的但僵住的短暂状态。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.( 你会在半夜莫名其妙地惊醒。房间的角落里站着一个人影吗?你的大脑让你的腿动起来，但什么也没发生。焦虑加剧。你的眼睛扫视着房间。就在你即将达到恐慌的顶峰时，你坐起来，那个身影消失了)”可知，经历睡眠瘫痪的人会有不真实的感觉。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的““For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. (“对大多数人来说，这并不意味着任何疾病。如果你真的担心这个问题，有规律的睡眠和其他简单的放松技巧，比如冥想、深呼吸和瑜伽，可能会有所帮助，”美国睡眠医学学会主席纳撒尼尔·沃森博士说)”可知，纳撒尼尔·沃森博士认为睡眠瘫痪不是疾病，只是短暂地令人不安的经历。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.(你刚刚经历了睡眠瘫痪，这是专家给睡眠中发生的各种奇怪的事情起的名字。当大脑暂时使身体失去功能，以防止它在REM睡眠期间发生生动的梦时，就会发生这种情况。它通常伴随着一种不动的感觉，和一种窒息的感觉。好消息是，这是绝对正常的，即使这很可怕。)”以及下文的分析可知，本文讲述了睡眠瘫痪这一现象，睡眠瘫痪是一段在睡眠时发生的清醒却不能移动的感觉，分析出现睡眠瘫痪的原因。因此推断D项“睡眠瘫痪：为什么我们会突然醒来却不能动”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 D There’s an enormous amount of personal health information people now feed or tap into digital monitors, health apps, search engines and other online tools. If the same information were provided in your doctor’s office, your privacy would be safeguarded. But that’s not how the digitized health world works. Instead, we have an ecosystem of abuse in which health technology companies operate largely outside the law that requires doctors and other medical personnel, hospitals and insurers to protect an individual’s health information. That means technology companies can — and do — dig your digital data for clues about your health status, accessing information like prescriptions you have purchased and other health services you might have sought, and potentially link this information to your name, address, email address and other personally identifying information. The data can then be used by platforms including Facebook and Google to help advertisers target promotions or other communications to you. It’s a gaping hole in health privacy protections that comes from the privacy law, which protects interactions between patients, medical professionals and insurers but does not, in most cases, protect patient health data that is recorded on new technologies. Closing the patient privacy gap can- and should -be a priority for lawmakers. The consequences of digital exposure for those seeking reproductive services have drawn significant concern and attention. These worries are reasonable. But reproductive care is only one area of health services where private patient information is digitally disclosed. Therefore, lawmakers must take action to protect the privacy of people who are now online for all manners of personal, professional and other reasons. Until then, a narrowly targeted approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect. The explosion of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it greatly. 32. What can we learn about the present situation of the digitized health world? A. Personal health data is used for other purposes. B. Personal health information is difficult to identify. C. Targeted promotions are used to improve people’s health. D. Medical personnel protect the personal health information well. 33. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present privacy law? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The spread of health service. B. People’s privacy. C. A narrowly targeted approach. D. The explosion of digital technology. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advocate improvement in the privacy law. B. To report cases of illegal information exposure. C. To explain how the digitized health world works. D. To introduce a debate on the effect of technology. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕数字化健康世界中个人隐私保护的问题展开论述，分析了当前健康技术公司在处理个人健康信息时存在的法律漏洞和滥用现象，并强调了立法者需要采取行动来保护个人隐私的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Instead, we have an ecosystem of abuse in which health technology companies operate largely outside the law that requires doctors and other medical personnel, hospitals and insurers to protect an individual’s health information.(相反，我们有一个滥用的生态系统，在这个生态系统中，医疗技术公司在很大程度上违反了要求医生和其他医务人员、医院和保险公司保护个人健康信息的法律)”以及第三段“That means technology companies can — and do — dig your digital data for clues about your health status, accessing information like prescriptions you have purchased and other health services you might have sought, and potentially link this information to your name, address, email address and other personally identifying information. The data can then be used by platforms including Facebook and Google to help advertisers target promotions or other communications to you.(这意味着科技公司可以——也确实做到了——挖掘你的数字数据，寻找你健康状况的线索，获取你购买的处方和你可能寻求的其他健康服务等信息，并可能将这些信息与你的姓名、地址、电子邮件地址和其他个人身份信息联系起来。然后，这些数据可以被包括Facebook和谷歌在内的平台使用，以帮助广告商向你定向促销或其他通信)”可知，现在我们的个人健康信息没有得到应有的保护，反而这些数据被包括Facebook和谷歌在内的平台使用，以帮助广告商向你定向促销或其他通信。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It’s a gaping hole in health privacy protections that comes from the privacy law, which protects interactions between patients, medical professionals and insurers but does not, in most cases, protect patient health data that is recorded on new technologies.(这是来自隐私法的健康隐私保护的一个巨大漏洞，隐私法保护患者，医疗专业人员和保险公司之间的互动，但在大多数情况下，不保护记录在新技术上的患者健康数据)”可知，作者认为现行的隐私法存在巨大漏洞。由此推知，他对现行隐私法是批评的。故选B。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“Until then, a narrowly targeted approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect.(在此之前，保护健康隐私的针对性较窄的方法在政治上可能更容易生效)”以及划线单词上文“The explosion of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it greatly.(数字医疗技术的爆炸式增长及其使用在过去几年中急剧增加，对它提出了极大的要求)”可推测，划线词it指的是上文提到的“targeted approach”。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Therefore, lawmakers must take action to protect the privacy of people who are now online for all manners of personal, professional and other reasons. Until then, a narrowly targeted approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect. The explosion of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it greatly.(因此，立法者必须采取行动，保护那些出于个人、职业和其他原因上网的人的隐私。在此之前，保护健康隐私的针对性较窄的方法在政治上可能更容易生效。数字医疗技术的爆炸式增长及其使用在过去几年中急剧增加，对它提出了极大的要求)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了数字化健康世界中个人隐私保护的问题，特别指出了当前隐私法存在的漏洞以及健康技术公司如何滥用个人健康信息。作者强调了这一问题的严重性，并呼吁立法者采取行动来弥补这一漏洞，保护个人隐私。由此推知，文章的目的是倡导改进隐私法，以确保个人健康信息得到妥善保护。故选A。 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。 There’s no good reason not to have a meaningful life. ____36____ But through careful thinking and self-reflection, we can take steps to change that. One thing that can help you find meaning in your life is structured, systematic reflection. ____37____ Then follow up on that by reflecting on what you’d like to add to your life and what you could get rid of to make it more meaningful. If this proves tricky, try taking a look at the lives of people you respect and thinking about what makes you think their lives are meaningful. ____38____ Imagine yourself, a few decades from now, finding out that you only have a few months or even only a few days to live. What are you happy to have done and sad not to have done? Reminding yourself that life has a limit will help you focus on what truly matters. What’s more, if you take a closer look, you might realize that your life is already full of meaning. All too often we don’t recognize what’s important until we are likely to lose it. But there’s no need to wait for adversity to help you appreciate the great things in your life. ____39____ Finally, you can make small changes and create new habits that will help you appreciate the value in your life. ____40____ This can help you cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude and find joy in the simple pleasures of everyday life.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要针对如何让生活过的有意义给出一些有效的建议。 【36题详解】 根据下文“But through careful thinking and self-reflection, we can take steps to change that.(但通过仔细思考和自我反思，我们可以采取措施改变这种情况)”可知，上文说的应该是很难找到生活的意义，D项“可悲的是，我们总是很难寻找到生活的意义。”符合题意，故选择D项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Then follow up on that by reflecting on what you’d like to add to your life and what you could get rid of to make it more meaningful.(然后，反思一下你想给你的生活增加什么，以及你可以摆脱什么，让它更有意义)”句中的then与F选项中的first表示顺序承接，且句意一致， F项“首先列一张清单，列出你生活中已经有意义的事情。”符合题意，故选择F项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“Imagine yourself, a few decades from now, finding out that you only have a few months or even only a few days to live. What are you happy to have done and sad not to have done?(想象一下，几十年后的自己，发现自己只剩下几个月甚至几天的生命。你做了什么感到高兴，没有做什么感到难过？)”可知，这里说的是要换个视角来看待自己的生活，B项“从一个新的角度看待你的生活也会对你有帮助。”符合题意，故选择B项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“All too often we don’t recognize what’s important until we are likely to lose it. But there’s no need to wait for adversity to help you appreciate the great things in your life. (很多时候，我们直到可能失去什么才意识到什么是重要的。但没有必要等待逆境来帮助你欣赏生活中的美好)”可知，下文要说的是让自己接触生活中积极的宝贵事物，不要等失去了才珍惜，E项“你可以总是让自己接触你周围的积极的宝贵事物。”符合题意，故选择E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Finally, you can make small changes and create new habits that will help you appreciate the value in your life.(最后，你可以做出微小的改变，养成新的习惯，帮助你体会生活的价值)”可知，这里要说的是如何更好的体会生活的价值，G项“归根结底，就是要用新鲜的眼光看待生活中的所有小事。”符合题意，句中的come down to“归根结底”用于总结概括符合语境，下文中的this指代的就是选项中的建议，故选择G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。 When I was 24, I moved to America, 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Chopsticks are a pair of two long sticks used to eat things with one hand. Holding chopsticks is a little bit like holding a pencil. Most of them are made out of wood. They're also made out of plastic, bamboo, gold, silver and even ivory. There is evidence of chopsticks as long ago as the sung dynasty, which is about three thousand years ago. Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bits of food. They're good for picking up noodles. If you are skilled, you can eat rice, pick up dumplings and pieces of meat. There are some no nose with chopsticks. You should not use the chopsticks like drum sticks. You don't want to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice, face up and IT sort of like a sign of death. Chopsticks are used in a huge portion of the world. Across much of asia, about one point five billion people are covered in the chopsticks sphere. Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round. Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal. Japanese jobs extend to be round and very, very pointy. One of the things about asian cooking is that IT often comes in very small pieces. And I think part of that has to do with the fact that is actually a lot more energy efficient to cook little pieces quickly. IT is such a sort of instrumental part of our cooking vocabulary.
