What do we know about the author when he was very young? A. He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it． B. He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers． C.

Courage and determination can change one’s life． C. Life can be controlled by one himself D. Life is a mystery full of coincidences． C Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 28. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild? A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers. C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night. 29. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk? A. To attack back. B. To get away. C. To protect the young. D. To play dead. 30. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape. C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. D For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words not fists to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 32. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games. 33. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 34. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Weight loss is a hard topic.Lots of people aren’t satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren’t sure how to change it.You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. ___36___ So what should you do about your weight control? ___37___ The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian (营养学家). ___38___ If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started. ___39___ People who lose weight quickly by crash (速成的) dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven’t permanently changed their habits.Therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime.

She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping （哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责备) from her mother. Having wandered (闲逛） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (摊位) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes… but I don’t have money on me” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,”said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (呆滞的）with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的；蒙恩的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1.写作词数应为100左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:  A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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)入学考试 英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分，考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项：1.答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在答题卡上。 2.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。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 回答听力部分时，先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每题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】 What will the man do next?

I know you guys know how to drive cars out on the streets, but that doesn’t mean we can automatically trust you to handle these smaller vehicles on this indoor racetrack. So, before we get started, I just want to go over some ground rules. Number 1: you must wear your helmet and seat belt at all times. Anyone who is found breaking this rule will be asked to leave the racetrack and will not receive a refund of their deposit. Number 2: please drive safely. This means no bumping into other cars on purpose, and be aware that drivers who are judged to be driving too aggressively will be given a warning before being asked to leave. Number 3: there is absolutely no eating, drinking, or smoking in the vehicles. There is a restaurant where drivers can relax between races, but nothing except the driver should be in the mini cars. Finally, please make sure you are familiar with all the safety features of the vehicles before the first race starts. These include the door locks, the emergency braking system, and the emergency lights. If there is an accident out on the track, you’ll need to be able to use these features as quickly and safely as possible. You’ve all signed your insurance forms already, so if there are no other questions, pick out your helmets and let’s get out to the track and check out the cars! 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。 A British Museum Visitor Rules Admission We warmly welcome you on your visit to the Museum.

We keep selected galleries open until 20:30 on Fridays. The Museum’s Great Court is open from 9:00 until 18:00, except on Fridays when it remains open until 20:30.”（美术馆每天从10点到17点30分开放。我们把选定的画廊开放到周五20:30。博物馆大院的开放时间为9:00 ~ 18:00，但星期五除外，开放时间为20:30。）可知，游客可以在周五下午六点半参观大英博物馆。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Film, photography and audio recording.中的“film and audio recording only for your own private and non-business purposes.”可知，拍照和录像只能个人使用不能有商业目的，故选D。 B When 1 was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it．When winter arrived，thick，heavy snow would fall，and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun．I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding．Finally，one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it． The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life．It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled．Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself．I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach．Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside．1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oak trees．My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming．At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree．I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling，“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!” Sadly，that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life．Many times problems，troubles，and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair．I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding．I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God． Life is a trip，but no one ever said it was a smooth ride．Steer well then．Steer straight．Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for． 24.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲作者小时候滑雪，玩得开心的时候不小心撞到大树。在最后一刻，作者翻滚到雪地里化险为夷，同时学到一个人生道理，那就是学会掌控。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding.可知作者因为年龄太小不能去滑雪，只好嫉妒地看着哥哥们玩。由此判断出作者小时候很渴望和哥哥们一起滑雪。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据语境It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled可知作者在第一次滑雪，在木雪橇上从山上冲下去，风从脸上刮过时的感受。根据第一段作者渴望滑雪，再结合后文的overjoyed可知作者玩的很开心。所以划线词的意思是“ 开心的，快乐的”。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course,straight towards one of those big oak trees.可知作者撞到了雪地里的一个树桩，然后径直撞向一棵大栎树。再结合后文At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree可知作者在快要撞到栎树的那一刻从雪橇上翻滚下来，这才避开了危险。所以作者为什么从雪橇上摔下来是因为他失去了对雪橇的控制。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知本文的行文结构是通过一个发生在作者童年的故事，讲述一个人生道理。根据文章最后一段Life is a trip,but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then可知作者认为人生的旅程不是一帆风顺的，应该学会掌控。由此判断出，作者想告诉我们生活可以由一个人自己掌控。故选C。 C Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other. Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night. As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind. As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change. 28. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild? A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers. C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night. 29. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk? A. To attack back. B. To get away. C. To protect the young. D. To play dead. 30. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot? A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape. C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot. C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鹦鹉作为被捕食动物的行为特性和生存策略。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators.(群体中的成员在确保其安全和提高其从捕食者袭击中幸存下来的机会方面起着重要作用。)”可知，鹦鹉要想更好地在野外躲避攻击，重要的是要进行集体生活，故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.(作为猎物，鹦鹉会时刻警惕危险，并本能地对风险做出反应。他们的第一反应是飞走)”可知，鹦鹉对直接风险的第一反应是逃跑，故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind.(因为它们最大的敌人是鹰，鹦鹉对来自上方和后方的快速移动特别敏感。)” 和下文“This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason.Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(这是一种不受逻辑或理性约束的内在反应。简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”可知，气球能够吓到鹦鹉是因为气球可能移动速度快，让使鹦鹉联想到鹰，故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物，这意味着野生的其他捕食者，如鹰或蛇，正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者真空软管可能与蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物，鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化，以建立灵活性并提高它们的适应性，这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活，更适应变化)”可知，本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议，故选B项。 D For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words not fists to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 32. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games. 33. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 34. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊对儿童社交能力发展的重要性，并探讨了幼儿表达友谊的方式和可能出现的问题。同时，文章还提供了一些建议和方法，帮助家长在幼儿社交互动中发挥积极作用，培养他们的同情心和表达能力，学会发展友谊。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying ‘I like you’ during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(此外，蹒跚学步的孩子表现出他们喜欢其他孩子的方式与成年人认为的友谊表达方式明显不同。哥伦布俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，一个蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时说‘我喜欢你’的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为)”可知，蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴，故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.(通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社交规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因，当您制定这些指导方针时，请解释其背后的原因)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制，并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制，也就是社交规则，帮助孩子理解社交规则，故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (‘Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?’)(首先帮助孩子学会同情（Ben在哭。是什么让他这么伤心？）)”以及“then suggest how he could resolve the problem (‘Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.’)(然后建议他如何解决这个问题（‘如果你让他打球，也许他会感觉好些。’）)”可知，这些引用是通过举例说明这两个建议：帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题，故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.(对很多孩子来说，蹒跚学步是建立友谊的重要时刻。研究表明，孩子们越早学会建立积极的关系，他们在青少年和成年人时期就越善于与他人建立联系。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社交行为，如友善、分享和合作)”、第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are.(通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社会规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因)”以及最后一段“Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words not fists to express how they feel.(另一种鼓励健康社交的方法是鼓励孩子用语言而不是拳头来表达他们的感受。)”可知，本文主要讲的是家长如何帮助孩子学会爱，学会发展友谊，C项“你的孩子如何学会爱”为最佳标题，故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Weight loss is a hard topic.Lots of people aren’t satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren’t sure how to change it.You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. ___36___ So what should you do about your weight control? ___37___ The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian (营养学家). ___38___ If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started. ___39___ People who lose weight quickly by crash (速成的) dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven’t permanently changed their habits.Therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than large ones. Try reducing the size of what you eat. ___40___ Once you have that done, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life. It’s a good idea to maintain a healthy weight because it’s just that: healthy. A. Try giving up regular soda for a week. B. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you’re full. C. Weight management is about long­term success. D. Besides, no magical diet will make you look like someone else. E. Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you. F. Changing from whole to nonfat or low­fat milk is also a good idea. G. They will compare your weight with healthy standards and help you set goals. 【答案】36. D 37. E 38. G 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些合理控制体重的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Weight loss is a hard topic. Lots of people aren't satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren't sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you.(减肥是一个很难的话题。很多人对自己现在的体重不满意，但大多数人不确定如何改变它。你可能想看起来像杂志或电视上的模特或演员，但这些目标可能对你来说并不健康或现实)”以及后文“So what should you do about your weight control?(那么你应该如何控制体重呢？)”可知，大部分人想要减肥，对自己的体重不满意，想看起来像杂志或电视上的模特或演员，但这些目标可能并不健康或现实，说明成为别人的想法是不实际的。下文通过一个问题提出健康控制体重的方法，D选项“此外，没有什么神奇的饮食会让你看起来像别人”符合语境，与前文是递进关系。故选D。 【37题详解】 根据下文“The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian.(要想知道你的体重是否健康，或者你是否需要减重或增重，最好的方法是咨询医生或营养师)”可知，第三段主要在讲听取营养专家的意见，找到一个有利于你健康的体重，而不是随意地减肥。故E项“健康就是保持适合你的体重。”表达的意思最能概括第三段的主要内容。故选E。 【38题详解】 前文“The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian.(要想知道你的体重是否健康，或者你是否需要减重或增重，最好的方法是咨询医生或营养师)”谈到征求营养专家的意见，后文“If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.( 如果结果你可以从减肥中获益，那么你可以按照下面列出的一些简单的建议来开始)”说“如果结果……”，因此推断第3空肯定是一个医生或者营养师给出的检查措施。G项“他们会将你的体重与健康的标准进行比较，并帮助你设定目标”符合语境，说明营养专家用健康的标准比对你的体重，帮助你设定目标，承上启下。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据后文“People who lose weight quickly by crash (速成的) dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven't permanently changed their habits. Therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime.(通过快速节食或其他极端措施快速减肥的人通常会把他们减掉的体重全部反弹回来，因为他们并没有永久地改变他们的习惯。因此，最好的体重管理方法是那些你可以维持一辈子的方法)”可知，后文提到了快速节食或其他极端措施快速减肥的弊端，强调了最好的体重管理方法是那些你可以维持一辈子的方法，换句话说，体重管理关乎长期的成功。故C选项“体重管理关乎长期的成功”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than large ones. Try reducing the size of what you eat.(小的改变比大的改变更容易坚持。试着减少你所吃东西的分量)”可知，空处前文“Once you have that done, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.( 一旦你做到了这一点，开始逐渐引入更健康的食物和进入你的生活锻炼。)”是一个具体的例子：尝试着减少你吃东西的量。后面说一旦你做到了，那就开始慢慢接触更有利于健康的食品和锻炼。所以空白处应该是一个减少不健康食品的例子。故A选项“试着一周内不喝常规的苏打水”符合语境，本句与上文并列，都是在列举一些可以进行的小的改变。故选A。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(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四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was halfway across Indiana headed home to Kentucky when my car broke down.

Now, most people reach for keyboards ____56____ (fast) than they pick up pens. In a Scottish primary school, however, Mr. Norman Lewis is taking a different way ____57____ (teach) writing. He feels that neat handwriting is still ____58____ important skill, so he has his students write not only by hand but also ____59____ old fashioned fountain pens. ____60____ (use) in schools long ago, fountain pens enjoyed great popularity then because they are refillable. Today, a writer ____61____ (simple) throws an empty pen away and gets a new one. So far, Mr. Lewis ____62____ (be) pleased with the results of his experiment. He reports that his students are taking more care with their work, and their confidence has improved as well. He is happy with the ____63____(improve) he sees in his students’ writing ____64____ in his own writing. He knows that computers are here to stay and that they will not disappear. However, he believes that the practice with fountain pens helps students to focus, and they can feel proud of ____65____ (they). 【答案】56. faster 57. to teach 58. an 59. with 60. Used 61. simply 62. has been 63. improvement 64. and 65. themselves 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是苏格兰一所小学的教师Norman Lewis先生采用的一种不同寻常的写作教学方法。 【56题详解】 考查比较级。句意：现在，大多数人拿起键盘的速度比拿起笔的速度还快。由than可知，空格处用比较级，fast的比较级是faster。故填faster。 【57题详解】 考查不定式。句意：然而，在苏格兰的一所小学里，Norman Lewis先生正在采用一种不同的方法来教授写作。way意为“方法”，其后用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式to teach。故填to teach。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：他觉得整洁的书写仍然是一项重要的技能，所以他让学生们不仅用手写，还用老式的钢笔书写。skill是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，important是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：他觉得整洁的书写仍然是一项重要的技能，所以他让学生们不仅用手写，还用老式的钢笔书写。根据语境可知，句子表示“他让学生们不仅用手写，还用老式的钢笔书写”，空格处用介词with表示“用”，故填with。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：很久以前，钢笔就在学校里使用了，因为它们可以重新填充，所以很受欢迎。句中谓语是enjoyed，空格处用非谓语动词，fountain pens和use之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Used。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：今天，一个作家只是把一支空笔扔掉，再买一支新的。空格处用副词修饰动词throws，simple的副词是simply，意为“仅仅，只是”，故填simply。 【62题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，刘易斯先生对他的实验结果很满意。由So far可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语Mr. Lewis是单数，因此空格处用has been。故填has been。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：他很高兴看到他的学生和他自己的写作都有了进步。空格处用名词作宾语，improve的名词是improvement，意为“进步”，是不可数名词，故填improvement。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：他很高兴看到他的学生和他自己的写作都有了进步。in his students’ writing和in his own writing之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此空格处用and表并列，故填and。 【65题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：然而，他认为用钢笔练习可以帮助学生集中注意力，他们可以为自己感到骄傲。主语they和宾语they一致时，空格处用反身代词作宾语，they的反身代词是themselves，意为“他们自己”，故填themselves。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校近期将举办全市高中生中国古代诗词大会（Chinese Ancient Poetry Competition），你想邀请一直对中国古代诗词非常感兴趣的外教Mr. Smith观看本次比赛。请给他写封邮件，内容包括： 1. 比赛目的2. 比赛时间、地点 注意：1. 词数80词左右； 2. 适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入词数。 Dear Mr. Smith, How are you going? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, How are you going?

She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping （哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责备) from her mother. Having wandered (闲逛） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (摊位) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes… but I don’t have money on me” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,”said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (呆滞的）with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的；蒙恩的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1.写作词数应为100左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:  A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. She could hear her own heart beating loudly in her ears. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the doorknob. As she entered, she saw her mother sitting in the dimly lit living room. Jenny walked slowly towards her, her steps heavy with guilt. “Mom,” she said softly, “I’m back. I’m so sorry for what I did. I was so blind and ungrateful. You’ve given me so much love and care all these years, and I repaid you with rudeness.” A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Jenny looked into her mother’s eyes, which were filled with a mixture of relief and love. Her mother cupped her face in her hands and said, “My dear, I was so worried about you. I’m just glad you’re safe.” They hugged each other tightly. Jenny realized that this was the place where she truly belonged, and that her mother’s love was an unbreakable bond. From then on, she made it a point to be more patient and understanding with her mother, knowing that every moment spent with her was a precious gift. Because in the end, it was the love of family that could heal all wounds and make one whole again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jenny和母亲争吵后，离家出走，她有点饿，想吃东西，但是她什么都没带，一个陌生人请她吃了一碗面，陌生人告诉Jenny妈妈其实为她付出了很多，Jenny下定决心一到家就为她的粗鲁向母亲道歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走近门口，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny在到家门口时的紧张、愧疚心情以及她鼓起勇气向母亲道歉的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的头发被轻轻地碰了一下，她的思绪又回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny与母亲深情对视、拥抱，并意识到母爱的伟大，以及她决定以后更加珍惜与母亲相处的时光。 2.续写线索：Jenny到家门口——紧张、愧疚地准备道歉——鼓起勇气向母亲表达歉意——母亲温柔回应——母女深情拥抱——决定珍惜与母亲的时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shiver/shake ②意识到：realize/recognize ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①不感激的：ungrateful/unthankful ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the doorknob. (运用as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Jenny walked slowly towards her, her steps heavy with guilt.
