To find the best places to visit in New Zealand, try exploring a little further a field to truly experience what this beautiful country has to offer. Coromandel: Best for beautiful beaches Situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, the Coromandel region is renowned for its beautiful beaches and native bush. In here you’ll find the iconic Cathedral Cove, with a natural rock archway and sandy beaches, and Hot Water Beach, where visitors can dig a natural hot pool in the sand. Other notable activities include visiting Karangahake Gorge, the Pinnacles overnight long-distance walk and Whenuakura Wildlife Sanctuary. Planning tip: The region is compact, and it’s easy to explore from one of the charming towns like Hahei, Pauanui or Whangamata. Abel Tasman National Park: Best for hiking The undeveloped natural environment with native bush, small, clear bays and white, sandy beaches at Abel Tasman National Park is a great option as a day trip from Nelson, but even better if you can stay longer. The Abel Tasman Coast Track, one of New Zealand’s Great Walks, is a 37-mile walk through the bush with lovely views of the beach. It usually takes 3-5 days to complete the full walk; otherwise, take on just a section as a day hike. Shorter bush walk trails are available too if you’re not keen on a long-distance route. Planning tip: No cars are allowed in the national park, so visitors need to either walk to their preferred destination or take a water taxi. Fiordland National Park: Best for impressive landscapes On the edge of the South Island, Fiordland National Park is home to one of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, the majestic Milford Sound, where visitors can see waterfalls, magnificent views along the fiord and some marine wildlife. Planning tip: The nearby Doubtful Sound is also spectacular but less accessible—this place is more difficult to approach and travelers need to visit with a guide and by boat. 1. Which is the best option for visitors interested in night hike? A. Coromandel. B. Abel Tasman National Park. C. Doubtful Sound. D. Fiordland National Park. 2. What is special about Abel Tasman National Park? A. It is only reached by water. B. It is still in its original state. C. It is a place to see marine creature. D. It is a destination accessible by taxi. 3. What can you do when you stay at Fiordland National Park? A. Dig a hot pool in the sand. B. Drive your car in the park. C Play on the white beaches. D. Enjoy impressive waterfalls. B Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Rogers died at 88. He was one of the most distinctive architects of his generation, with an architectural style that was both instantly recognizable and highly adaptable. On Twitter, architecture critic for The New York Times, Michael Kimmelman, described Rogers as “an architect of tremendous humanity and vitality and visual genius, one of the greats, and great not least for his deep commitment to civil society and the life of the streets”. As a child, Rogers struggled to read and couldn’t memorize his school work. Depressed and at the bottom of his class, Rogers was sent to a special school, where he was diagnosed with dyslexia (阅读困难). He later was trained at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London before earning a master’s degree from Yale University in Connecticut. Rogers credited his parents, a doctor and an artist, as well as his cousin, an Italian architect Ernesto Rogers, who inspired his interest in architecture. “They instilled (灌输) me with a clear understanding of how, if we build well, we can create a socially inclusive environment,” he told The Yale Center for Dyslexia Creativity. “This has helped to drive my work.” Rogers’ success as an architect opened doors for him to inject his ideas into broader questions of urban planning. In 1998 he was asked to chair the British government’s Urban Task Force, which was charged with identifying the causes of urban decline and creating a strategy to reverse it. Rogers believed his work on the task force, which laid out a vision for compact cities “where people live, work and enjoy leisure time at close quarters”, to be one of his most important achievements. He once warned that cities were one of the main drivers of global warming because they were designed around automobiles. This focus on cars allowed development to encroach (侵蚀) ever further into the countryside and led to “inefficient and hostile architecture” that neglected public spaces. Instead, Rogers promoted a vision of densely populated cities developed around technology and mass transport. “We are witnessing technological developments that, if creatively exploited, could give our cities a new lease of life, making them greener, more sociable, more beautiful,” he said. “Above all, more exciting.” 4. What kind of architect is Rogers according to Michael Kimmelman? A. Instantly recognizable. B. Slightly depressed. C. Visually talented. D. Truly sociable. 5. What can we learn about Richard Rogers from paragraph 2? A. He got a degree at a special school. B. He took inspiration from his cousin. C. He had difficulty finishing schoolwork. D. He benefited a lot from his parents’ career. 6. What does the underlined word “hostile” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Humble. B. Foolish. C. Unfriendly. D. Untidy. 7. Which type of city will be probably designed by Rogers? A. The city making people excited. B. The city with less public spaces. C. The city developed around automobiles. D. The city with eco-friendly environment. C Dolphins and fishermen in Laguna, Brazil, like the same food: Mullets (鲻鱼). But rather than compete, the two have formed an alliance. Common bottlenose dolphins will chase schools of mullets toward shore, where a row of fishermen stand waist-deep in the water, nets in hand. The fishermen can’t see the fish through the murky water, so instead, they watch the dolphins. When the marine mammals slap their heads or tails against the water, they cue (提示) the fishermen to cast their nets, which in turn breaks up the schools and makes individual fish easier for the dolphins to catch. Now, a new study suggests the dolphins are willing partners in this cooperation. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. The animals may even be guiding the people, says Simon Ingram, a marine biologist. He says, “It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.” Fishers must understand the dolphins’ cues, learning them over time, Cantor, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Cambridge, says. “The dolphins are almost like teachers.” This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century. According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest dolphins that hunt with humans have increased survival rates over those that don’t. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠住) in illegal fishing gear. Fishers were also more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch fish and netted nearly 4 times more mullets when they timed their casting with the dolphins’ signals. This is really incredible cooperative behavior. Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, herding fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline. 8. How can dolphins catch mullets more easily according to paragraph 1? A. By competing against humans. B. By using unique hunting skills. C. By forming a team with other fishes. D. By cooperating with local fishermen. 9. Why does the ecologist say that the dolphins are almost like teachers? A. The dolphins always imitate human behavior. B. The dolphins try to communicate with fishers. C. The dolphins are willing to adjust their actions. D. The dolphins often signaled fishers to catch fish. 10. What’s the benefit of dolphins working with fishermen? A. They avoid potential risks or dangers. B. They are often rescued by fishermen. C. They have better living environment. D. They are getting increasingly smarter. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the text? A. Dolphins are cooperative creatures. B. Dolphins are dependent on fishermen. C. Humans are struggling for their survival. D. Humans are learning skills from animals D Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester. Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly. These skills are conscientiousness (尽责性), which tells how hardworking, careful and stubborn an adolescent is, and neuroticism (神经质), which shows how worried, unhappy and fearful an adolescent is, The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health. The non-cognitive skills were reported by teachers, based on the behavior of students at age 16. The study found that individuals whose adolescent conscientiousness is higher deal with stress in adulthood better, and are at a lower risk of some diseases. And individuals whose adolescent neuroticism is higher have a poorer, health related quality of life in adulthood and are at a greater risk of some diseases. The researchers conclude that policies to improve adolescent conscientiousness and reduce adolescent neuroticism would offer the most long-term health benefits to those with the poo-rest health, “There is a growing body of evidence that suggests school-based interventions to improve non-cognitive skills can have lasting positive effects on important life outcomes,” said Rose. “Extra-curricular activities and work experience have also been shown to improve these skills. Having a greater focus on the improvement of non-cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment. There-tore, more complex public policy is needed to reduce social inequality.” 12. What can be inferred about non-cognitive skills? A. They can fall into three categories. B. They are mainly developed in childhood. C. Their importance has been totally ignored. D. Their impact on health doesn’t get enough attention. 13. How did the researchers do their research? A. They carried out a large survey. B. They collected data from individuals. C. They followed 16-year-old individuals. D. They compared data from other research. 14. What do the researchers think their findings suggest? A. Improving teens’ non- cognitive skills isn’t that challenging. B. Schools should reduce the time for extra-curricular activities. C. Measures should be taken to improve teens’ non-cognitive skills. D. Social inequality is the major cause of poor non-cognitive skills. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A Teens’ health in later life can be predicted. B. Teachers can improve students’ non-cognitive skills, C. The importance of non-cognitive skills is being recognized. D. Non-cognitive skills in adolescents affect their health in later life. 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。 At the start of your career, it can feel like a Catch-22 situation: You can’t get hired without experience, but you can’t get experience without being hired. ____16____ Luck certainly plays a part and personal connections can be hugely valuable, but what else can you do?

Once Andrew finished setting up, they sat down to fish. Michael gladly looked at the river, where the waves waved in and out every so often. It was peaceful there. “Next time, we can also swim here,” the boy told his father, who nodded in agreement. Then, they kept silent in case the noise scared the fish away. An hour later, Andrew’s phone rang. “Hello?” he answered, and after listening for a few seconds, he pulled the phone down to look at Michael. “Son, this is an important call. I’m going to be by the trees over there. Be careful.” Andrew walked a few steps away, and Michael watched him until he saw his dad pacing around the same spot. The little boy then watched their fishing poles carefully in case there was any movement. But something strange caught Michael’s attention. From a distance, he saw something moving in the water, and at first, he thought someone was swimming. But soon enough, the boy realized it was a dog, and the poor pet appeared to have been caught in a current that started pulling it away. “Oh, no! Dad! Dad!” Michael shouted, but Andrew couldn’t hear his cries from that distance. The current started pulling the dog further, and Michael panicked. He had no idea what to do and wanted to run to his father, but he stopped when he spotted a swim ring among their equipment. Andrew brought it in case Michael wanted to swim, although their plan was always to just fish. The little boy stared at it, looked up, and saw the dog still struggling. Thinking it might be drowning (淹死), he made a very quick decision. Taking the swim ring and taking off his shoes, Michael ran toward the water and started swimming to reach the dog. His mother took him to swimming lessons every week, so he considered himself good. However, he had yet to go through such deep water, which was scary. 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。 But Michael had to do something to help the dog ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Michael was wet with a dog sitting beside him, Andrew was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 CAABC 6—10 BBACA 11—15 BCCAC 16—20 CBABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 平潮高级中学高三英语初考模拟试题 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.

He was one of the most distinctive architects of his generation, with an architectural style that was both instantly recognizable and highly adaptable. On Twitter, architecture critic for The New York Times, Michael Kimmelman, described Rogers as “an architect of tremendous humanity and vitality and visual genius, one of the greats, and great not least for his deep commitment to civil society and the life of the streets”. As a child, Rogers struggled to read and couldn’t memorize his school work. Depressed and at the bottom of his class, Rogers was sent to a special school, where he was diagnosed with dyslexia (阅读困难). He later was trained at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London before earning a master’s degree from Yale University in Connecticut. Rogers credited his parents, a doctor and an artist, as well as his cousin, an Italian architect Ernesto Rogers, who inspired his interest in architecture. “They instilled (灌输) me with a clear understanding of how, if we build well, we can create a socially inclusive environment,” he told The Yale Center for Dyslexia Creativity. “This has helped to drive my work.” Rogers’ success as an architect opened doors for him to inject his ideas into broader questions of urban planning. In 1998, he was asked to chair the British government’s Urban Task Force, which was charged with identifying the causes of urban decline and creating a strategy to reverse it. Rogers believed his work on the task force, which laid out a vision for compact cities “where people live, work and enjoy leisure time at close quarters”, to be one of his most important achievements. He once warned that cities were one of the main drivers of global warming because they were designed around automobiles. This focus on cars allowed development to encroach (侵蚀) ever further into the countryside and led to “inefficient and hostile architecture” that neglected public spaces. Instead, Rogers promoted a vision of densely populated cities developed around technology and mass transport. “We are witnessing technological developments that, if creatively exploited, could give our cities a new lease of life, making them greener, more sociable, more beautiful,” he said. “Above all, more exciting.” 4. What kind of architect is Rogers according to Michael Kimmelman? A. Instantly recognizable. B. Slightly depressed. C. Visually talented. D. Truly sociable. 5. What can we learn about Richard Rogers from paragraph 2? A. He got a degree at a special school. B. He took inspiration from his cousin. C. He had difficulty finishing schoolwork. D. He benefited a lot from his parents’ career. 6. What does the underlined word “hostile” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Humble. B. Foolish. C. Unfriendly. D. Untidy. 7. Which type of city will be probably designed by Rogers? A. The city making people excited. B. The city with less public spaces. C The city developed around automobiles. D The city with eco-friendly environment. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了普利兹克奖得主、著名建筑师理查德·罗杰斯的生平及其对城市规划的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On Twitter, architecture critic for The New York Times, Michael Kimmelman, described Rogers as “an architect of tremendous humanity and vitality and visual genius, one of the greats, and great not least for his deep commitment to civil society and the life of the streets”. (在推特上，《纽约时报》的建筑评论家迈克尔·金梅尔曼（Michael Kimmelman）将罗杰斯描述为“一位具有巨大人性、活力和视觉天才的建筑师，是最伟大的建筑师之一，尤其是他对公民社会和街头生活的深刻承诺”。)”可知，Michael Kimmelman认为Rogers是一个具有视觉天赋的建筑师。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rogers credited his parents, a doctor and an artist, as well as his cousin, an Italian architect Ernesto Rogers, who inspired his interest in architecture. (罗杰斯归功于他的父母，一位医生和一位艺术家，以及他的堂兄，意大利建筑师埃内斯托·罗杰斯（Ernesto Rogers），他激发了他对建筑的兴趣。)”可知，Rogers的建筑灵感来自于他的堂兄Ernesto Rogers。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“This focus on cars allowed development to encroach (侵蚀) ever further into the countryside and led to “inefficient and hostile architecture” that neglected public spaces. (这种对汽车的关注使得发展进一步侵蚀到农村，并导致了忽视公共空间的“低效和……的建筑”。)”可知，Rogers认为以汽车为中心的城市设计导致了“低效和不友好的建筑”，忽视了公共空间。由此可推测，hostile的意思是不友好的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead, Rogers promoted a vision of densely populated cities developed around technology and mass transport. “We are witnessing technological developments that, if creatively exploited, could give our cities a new lease of life, making them greener, more sociable, more beautiful,” he said. (取而代之的是，罗杰斯提出了一个围绕技术和公共交通发展的人口稠密城市的愿景。他说：“我们正在目睹技术发展，如果创造性地加以利用，可以给我们的城市带来新的生机，使它们更环保、更善于社交、更美丽。)”可知，Rogers提倡以技术和公共交通为中心的城市设计，使城市更加环保。故选D项。 C Dolphins and fishermen in Laguna, Brazil, like the same food: Mullets (鲻鱼). But rather than compete, the two have formed an alliance. Common bottlenose dolphins will chase schools of mullets toward shore, where a row of fishermen stand waist-deep in the water, nets in hand. The fishermen can’t see the fish through the murky water, so instead, they watch the dolphins. When the marine mammals slap their heads or tails against the water, they cue (提示) the fishermen to cast their nets, which in turn breaks up the schools and makes individual fish easier for the dolphins to catch. Now, a new study suggests the dolphins are willing partners in this cooperation. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. The animals may even be guiding the people, says Simon Ingram, a marine biologist. He says, “It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.” Fishers must understand the dolphins’ cues, learning them over time, Cantor, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Cambridge, says. “The dolphins are almost like teachers.” This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century. According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest dolphins that hunt with humans have increased survival rates over those that don’t. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠住) in illegal fishing gear. Fishers were also more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch fish and netted nearly 4 times more mullets when they timed their casting with the dolphins’ signals. This is really incredible cooperative behavior. Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, herding fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline. 8. How can dolphins catch mullets more easily according to paragraph 1? A. By competing against humans. B. By using unique hunting skills. C By forming a team with other fishes. D. By cooperating with local fishermen. 9. Why does the ecologist say that the dolphins are almost like teachers? A. The dolphins always imitate human behavior. B. The dolphins try to communicate with fishers. C. The dolphins are willing to adjust their actions. D. The dolphins often signaled fishers to catch fish. 10. What’s the benefit of dolphins working with fishermen? A. They avoid potential risks or dangers. B. They are often rescued by fishermen. C. They have better living environment. D. They are getting increasingly smarter. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the text? A. Dolphins are cooperative creatures. B. Dolphins are dependent on fishermen. C. Humans are struggling for their survival. D. Humans are learning skills from animals 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。它介绍了海豚和渔民之间的合作关系，并讲述了这种合作对海豚和渔民的好处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But rather than compete, the two have formed an alliance. Common bottlenose dolphins will chase schools of mullets toward shore, where a row of fishermen stand waist-deep in the water, nets in hand. The fishermen can’t see the fish through the murky water, so instead, they watch the dolphins. When the marine mammals slap their heads or tails against the water, they cue (提示) the fishermen to cast their nets, which in turn breaks up the schools and makes individual fish easier for the dolphins to catch. (但双方并没有展开竞争，而是结成了联盟。普通的宽吻海豚会追逐鲻鱼群，将它们驱赶到岸边，而一排渔民则站在水中，手持渔网。由于水色浑浊，渔民无法通过水中看见鱼群，所以他们观察海豚的行动。当海豚用头部或尾部拍打水面时，它们就提示渔民投下渔网，这样鱼群就会被打散，海豚可以更容易地捕捉单独的鱼)”可知，海豚通过和当地渔民合作能更容易捕捉鲻鱼。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The animals may even be guiding the people, says Simon Ingram, a marine biologist. He says, “It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.” Fishers must understand the dolphins’ cues, learning them over time, Cantor, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Cambridge, says. “The dolphins are almost like teachers.” (海洋生物学家西蒙·因格拉姆（Simon Ingram）表示，这些动物甚至可能在引导人类，他说：“海豚几乎就像在训练人类一样。”渔民必须理解海豚的提示，并随着时间的推移学习它们。剑桥大学的行为生态学家坎特（Cantor）表示：“海豚几乎就像是教师。”)”可知，海豚经常向渔民发出捕鱼的信号，他们在引导人类，所以生态学家说海豚就像老师一样。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest dolphins that hunt with humans have increased survival rates over those that don’t. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠住) in illegal fishing gear. (根据《美国国家科学院院刊》（Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences）发表的一项研究，研究人员认为与人类一起狩猎的海豚相比，其生存率更高。这些合作的海豚更有可能留在海岸附近，减少被非法渔具缠住的机会。)”可知，海豚和渔民一起工作时，他们可以避免潜在的风险或危险。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, herding fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. (其他海豚群体也已知与人类渔民进行合作，在澳大利亚东部、毛里塔尼亚和东南亚的海域，它们会将鱼群赶向岸边或者驱至渔网中)”结合全文可知，本文作者想表达海豚是合作的动物。故选A项。 D Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester. Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly. These skills are conscientiousness (尽责性), which tells how hardworking, careful and stubborn an adolescent is, and neuroticism (神经质), which shows how worried, unhappy and fearful an adolescent is, The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health. The non-cognitive skills were reported by teachers, based on the behavior of students at age 16. The study found that individuals whose adolescent conscientiousness is higher deal with stress in adulthood better, and are at a lower risk of some diseases. And individuals whose adolescent neuroticism is higher have a poorer, health related quality of life in adulthood and are at a greater risk of some diseases. The researchers conclude that policies to improve adolescent conscientiousness and reduce adolescent neuroticism would offer the most long-term health benefits to those with the poo-rest health, “There is a growing body of evidence that suggests school-based interventions to improve non-cognitive skills can have lasting positive effects on important life outcomes,” said Rose. “Extra-curricular activities and work experience have also been shown to improve these skills. Having a greater focus on the improvement of non-cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment. There-tore, more complex public policy is needed to reduce social inequality.” 12. What can be inferred about non-cognitive skills? A. They can fall into three categories. B. They are mainly developed in childhood. C. Their importance has been totally ignored. D. Their impact on health doesn’t get enough attention. 13. How did the researchers do their research? A. They carried out a large survey. B. They collected data from individuals. C. They followed 16-year-old individuals. D. They compared data from other research. 14. What do the researchers think their findings suggest? A. Improving teens’ non- cognitive skills isn’t that challenging. B. Schools should reduce the time for extra-curricular activities. C. Measures should be taken to improve teens’ non-cognitive skills. D. Social inequality is the major cause of poor non-cognitive skills. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Teens’ health in later life can be predicted. B. Teachers can improve students’ non-cognitive skills, C. The importance of non-cognitive skills is being recognized. D. Non-cognitive skills in adolescents affect their health in later life. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是青少年的非认知能力会影响他们后期的身体健康。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Rose Atkins of that university, along with her colleagues set out to investigate noncognitive skills as they are one of the least explored determining factors of health and well-being, despite the fact that evidence surrounding their importance is growing quickly.(该大学的Rose Atkins和她的同事们开始调查非认知技能，因为它们是对健康和幸福的决定因素中探索最少的因素之一，尽管有关它们重要性的证据正在迅速增加)”可知，非认知技能对健康的影响没有得到足够的重视。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The researchers used data on a group of individuals who were followed throughout their life and carried out statistical analysis to study the relationship between adolescent non-cognitive skills and later-life health.(研究人员使用了一组人的数据，这些人一生都在接受跟踪调查，并进行了统计分析，以研究青少年非认知技能与晚年健康之间的关系)”可知，研究人员从个人那里收集数据来进行研究，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Having a greater focus on the improvement of non- cognitive skills at both primary and secondary school levels would be a positive policy decision, However, these skills are also determined by factors like family income, parental education, and parental investment.(在小学和中学阶段更加关注非认知技能的提高将是一个积极的政策决定，然而，这些技能也由家庭收入、父母教育和父母投资等因素决定)”可知，研究人员认为他们的发现说明应该采取措施提高青少年的非认知技能。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Teenagers whose non-cognitive (非认知的) skills are poorly developed are more likely to suffer from health problems later in life, according to a new research by a group of experts from the University of Manchester.(曼彻斯特大学的一组专家进行的一项新研究表明，非认知能力发育不良的青少年在以后的生活中更容易出现健康问题)”可知，本文主要讲的是青少年的非认知技能会影响他们以后的健康。故选D。 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。 At the start of your career, it can feel like a Catch-22 situation: You can’t get hired without experience, but you can’t get experience without being hired. ____16____ Luck certainly plays a part and personal connections can be hugely valuable, but what else can you do?

Nevertheless, the book turned out to be the “Tao Te Ching,” a deeply philosophical book of Taoism. As ____38____ 8-year-old, the book’s content was obviously lost on me, but it provided me with an early connection to a profound philosophical tradition by ____39____ I am still influenced today. At school I began studying Chinese. My interest in the language developed early on, ____40____(combine) my love of travelling with my love of meeting new people. I am lucky enough to have lived in China for three years. It was a good opportunity for me to experience the ____41____(nation) diverse customs and traditions.

In recent years there ____43____(be) a rise in restaurants offering a variety of foods here.

Once Andrew finished setting up, they sat down to fish. Michael gladly looked at the river, where the waves waved in and out every so often. It was peaceful there. “Next time, we can also swim here,” the boy told his father, who nodded in agreement. Then, they kept silent in case the noise scared the fish away. An hour later, Andrew’s phone rang. “Hello?” he answered, and after listening for a few seconds, he pulled the phone down to look at Michael. “Son, this is an important call. I’m going to be by the trees over there. Be careful.” Andrew walked a few steps away, and Michael watched him until he saw his dad pacing around the same spot. The little boy then watched their fishing poles carefully in case there was any movement. But something strange caught Michael’s attention. From a distance, he saw something moving in the water, and at first, he thought someone was swimming. But soon enough, the boy realized it was a dog, and the poor pet appeared to have been caught in a current that started pulling it away. “Oh, no! Dad! Dad!” Michael shouted, but Andrew couldn’t hear his cries from that distance. The current started pulling the dog further, and Michael panicked. He had no idea what to do and wanted to run to his father, but he stopped when he spotted a swim ring among their equipment. Andrew brought it in case Michael wanted to swim, although their plan was always to just fish. The little boy stared at it, looked up, and saw the dog still struggling. Thinking it might be drowning (淹死), he made a very quick decision. Taking the swim ring and taking off his shoes, Michael ran toward the water and started swimming to reach the dog. His mother took him to swimming lessons every week, so he considered himself good. However, he had yet to go through such deep water, which was scary. 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。 But Michael had to do something to help the dog. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Michael was wet with a dog sitting beside him, Andrew was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: But Michael had to do something to help the dog. He took advantage of every swim skill he had learned and swam toward the dog. Finally, Michael reached the pet and encouraged it to catch the ring. The poor dog seemed tired, and Michael tried to swim towards the shore, but it wasn’t easy. The current kept pulling them back, and he had no idea whether they would make it. After what seemed like a lifetime, they finally reached the shore. Michael quickly dried the dog with a towel. It was then that Andrew ended his phone call and went back. Paragraph 2: Seeing Michael was wet with a dog sitting beside him, Andrew was shocked. Hearing Michael’s explanation, Andrew started to get angry and said, “Michael, it was so dangerous! You could have drowned!” Michael lowered his head and realized his mistake, crying to apologize. Seeing it, Andrew patted his head and hugged him, saying,” Although I still think it was dangerous, I’m proud of you for saving the dog. But before doing something kind and brave, just ensure your safety first. Promise me.” Michael nodded happily. Then, they went home together with the dog following closely. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Michael和他的父亲Andrew一起去河边钓鱼的故事。在钓鱼过程中，爸爸因接电话走开了，Michael发现了一只被水流困住的狗，并决定用游泳圈去救它。尽管水很深，Michael还是勇敢地游向狗，试图将它救上岸。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但Michael必须做点什么来帮助狗。”可知，第一段可描写Michael利用所学的游泳技巧，鼓励狗抓住游泳圈，经过不断努力，他们终于到达岸边，用毛巾擦干了狗，此时爸爸Andrew接到电话回来了。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到Michael浑身湿透，旁边坐着一只狗，Andrew感到震惊。”可知，第二段可描写Michael向Andrew解释原因，Andrew很生气，Michael意识到自己的错误，但是Andrew对Michael的救狗行为感到骄傲，并要求Michael在做善良的事之前先确保自己的安全，最后一起回家了。 2.续写线索：Michael要帮助狗——游泳——让狗抓住泳圈——努力回到岸边——擦干狗，爸爸Andrew回来了——爸爸震惊生气——Michael意识到错误——爸爸要求，Michael承诺——回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①利用：take advantage of/draw upon ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/furious/wrathful ②高兴地：happily/with delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] After what seemed like a lifetime, they finally reached the shore.
