B A few months ago, a friend gifted me a robot sweeper that’s programmed to move around a room and clean as it goes. When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and suck up (汲取) data along with the dog hair and dust. But the instructions were easy, and I finally decided not to care. I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. One day, I returned home and discovered that our front door had blown open and the robot rolled into the yard, trying to clean the flower beds. Even when its brushes were blocked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning. The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. Maybe this will happen in the near future. 24. What was the author’s concern about the robot sweeper at first? A. Its after-sales service. B. Its working efficiency. C. The privacy of her family. D. The readability of its instructions. 25 How did the author feel about the robot sweeper after using it? A. Enthusiastic. B. Regretful. C. Uncertain. D. Cautious. 26. What was the root cause of the accident happening to the robot sweeper? A. Its program went wrong. B. It lacked critical thinking. C. Its wheels were badly designed. D. It failed to work on rough surfaces. 27. What does the sixth paragraph mainly talk about concerning AI? A. The accident. B. Some experts’ thinking. C. Its appeal to the author. D. The author’s opinion. C For many centuries, the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands was protected by a defensive wall and canal (运河). But over time, the wall began to fall down. The area was then transformed (转变) into a park surrounding the city center. As for the canal, a plan was set forth to transform it into a new ring road. Since the community reacted strongly against the proposal, the ring road was never built. In 2002, the local community wished to recover the canal. This began a long-term restoration project for the park and canal, which was designed in partnership with Utrecht’s residents and OKRA Landscape Architects. The specific part of the canal that was under restoration is called the Catharijnesingel. The project was made up of a 1,100-meter-long stretch, and required about 40,000 cubic meters of water to refill the canal. OKRA’s design for the new layout of the canal and park features three main interventions (干预措施). Firstly, the park forms a buffer (缓冲带) between the residential and commercial areas of the city. It promotes interaction with nature by providing citizens with green and blue spaces that provide relaxation. This includes space to run and exercise in the park and row and paddleboard in the canal. Further, the dock (码头) along the waterfront is the perfect connection between the green and blue zones. The redesign of the Catharijnesingel also promotes traffic flow. Pedestrians (行人) are the top choice, and they are given their own paths where possible. Meanwhile, a new walking track has been set up along the canal. It leads exercisers through the park, alongside various art installations (雕塑装置) and seating areas, and provides visitors with views of the city. Furthermore, the landscape architects included design elements from the original landscape architect, J. D. Zocher, to create a public space that bridges its historical design with the city center. In addition, OKRA included strategies to promote biodiversity. By introducing a variety of adaptive plant species, the park has become a home for small animals, birds and insects within the city. Through their interventions, OKRA transformed the historic site into a healthy space where humans and other organisms co-exist peacefully. 28. What made the plan to change the canal into a road fail? A. Shortage of money. B. Its possible harm to nature. C. The disagreement from the community. D. The difficulty in preserving its historic features. 29. What can we learn about OKRA’s design from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It is human-centered. B. It features traditional local culture. C. Mechanical equipment is widely used. D Eco-friendly materials are used. 30. Which of the following best describes the restoration project? A. Costly. B. Debatable C. Commercial. D. Successful. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote harmony between man and nature. B. To introduce a restoration project. C. To show ways to transform a city. D. To tell the history of a canal. D If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 32. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 33. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 34. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 35. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___36___It shines our way through darkness. Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.___37___And how? Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.___38___It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights. What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?___39___ The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you.

Rome was not built in a day.___40___It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges. A. Individuals need to bring it out. B. It isn’t something you are born with. C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors. F. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions. G. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light. 三、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) When I was growing up, every evening before bedtime my father would tell me stories of his childhood.

When I lifted my left hand out of a grocery bag, I suddenly couldn’t breathe. Looking at the ring on my finger, I found the star sapphire (蓝宝石)was gone. Mom had given me the ring on my twenty-first birthday. I had worn it every day for twenty-nine years. It was a reminder of Mom and a symbol of our love. “No! No! No!” I yelled, hurrying to check the bag and the floor, and then my car, but the star sapphire was nowhere to be found. Feeling helpless, I called my best friend, Marie. “The star sapphire in my ring fell out. I don’t know what to do,” I said, extremely worried. Marie replied, “Please don’t be anxious. Try to stay calm and positive. You can go back to the places you just visited and take a look.” But how could I keep hope in seemingly impossible situations? Anyway, I started my car and drove to the grocery store again. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was little chance that I could find my stone. Back at the grocery store, I pulled into the same parking spot and looked everywhere for my star sapphire. My hands and knees felt the hot ground as I searched crazily around and under my SUV car. Then I rushed inside the store, searching for a familiar face for more help. I spotted Amanda, a staff member whom I had met on previous shopping trips, and urgently tapped her on the shoulder. “I was just here twenty minutes ago and lost the stone of this ring. It’s very special to me. It’s from my late mom. Could you please help me look for it?” I cried, unaware that many other people around also heard my words. Amanda’s eyes softened and she nodded understandingly. She immediately took a large mop(拖把) and started carefully sweeping it back and forth down the first aisle (过道) of the huge store. Paragraph 1: In tears, I called after her, “It’s light blue and small.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Suddenly, a customer near the counter excitedly called out loudly, “Oh, Madam, I’ve found it!”. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2024-2025学年高二上期开学测试 英语试题 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息; 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上. 一、单句语填(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 1.

When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and suck up (汲取) data along with the dog hair and dust. But the instructions were easy, and I finally decided not to care. I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. One day, I returned home and discovered that our front door had blown open and the robot rolled into the yard, trying to clean the flower beds. Even when its brushes were blocked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning. The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. Maybe this will happen in the near future. 24. What was the author’s concern about the robot sweeper at first? A. Its after-sales service. B. Its working efficiency. C. The privacy of her family. D. The readability of its instructions. 25. How did the author feel about the robot sweeper after using it? A. Enthusiastic. B. Regretful. C. Uncertain. D. Cautious. 26. What was the root cause of the accident happening to the robot sweeper? A. Its program went wrong. B. It lacked critical thinking. C. Its wheels were badly designed. D. It failed to work on rough surfaces. 27. What does the sixth paragraph mainly talk about concerning AI? A The accident. B. Some experts’ thinking. C. Its appeal to the author. D. The author’s opinion. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过个人经历，说明了扫地机器人的好处和弊端，并阐述了自己的期待。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and suck up (汲取) data along with the dog hair and dust. (当盒子到达时，我担心设备会侦察我，并将数据连同狗毛和灰尘一起吸走。)”可知，起初，作者对扫地机器人的担忧是怕它侵犯她的家人的隐私。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. (我启动扫地机，看着它离开坞站开始工作，很快就爱上了我新买的锃亮的地板。我一直在拍摄它的工作视频。“我觉得你把更多的注意力放在它身上，而不是我们身上，”我儿子开玩笑说。)”可推知，作者使用扫地机器人后对扫地机器人充满热情。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. (这个机器人的行为是正确的，因为它被编程来清理“脏”的东西。在厨房里，污垢可以是花园的碎片，比如树叶和泥土。在花园里，这种污垢不需要清除。背景很重要。机器人面临的问题是，解读这种背景是很困难的。)”可推知，发生事故的根本原因是机器人缺乏批判性思维。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第六段中“This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. (这次事故激发了我对AI （人工智能）的更多思考。就我而言，人工智能只是训练有素，并复制了它所学到的东西。不可否认的是，越来越多的机器人被赋予强大的智能。一些专家甚至预测，我们很快就会看到不仅能够根据指令解决问题的人工智能机器人，而且还能在不同的环境中判断自己应该如何应对。)”可知，关于人工智能，第六段主要讲作者的观点。故选D。 C For many centuries, the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands was protected by a defensive wall and canal (运河). But over time, the wall began to fall down. The area was then transformed (转变) into a park surrounding the city center. As for the canal, a plan was set forth to transform it into a new ring road. Since the community reacted strongly against the proposal, the ring road was never built. In 2002, the local community wished to recover the canal. This began a long-term restoration project for the park and canal, which was designed in partnership with Utrecht’s residents and OKRA Landscape Architects. The specific part of the canal that was under restoration is called the Catharijnesingel. The project was made up of a 1,100-meter-long stretch, and required about 40,000 cubic meters of water to refill the canal. OKRA’s design for the new layout of the canal and park features three main interventions (干预措施). Firstly, the park forms a buffer (缓冲带) between the residential and commercial areas of the city. It promotes interaction with nature by providing citizens with green and blue spaces that provide relaxation. This includes space to run and exercise in the park and row and paddleboard in the canal. Further, the dock (码头) along the waterfront is the perfect connection between the green and blue zones. The redesign of the Catharijnesingel also promotes traffic flow. Pedestrians (行人) are the top choice, and they are given their own paths where possible. Meanwhile, a new walking track has been set up along the canal. It leads exercisers through the park, alongside various art installations (雕塑装置) and seating areas, and provides visitors with views of the city. Furthermore, the landscape architects included design elements from the original landscape architect, J. D. Zocher, to create a public space that bridges its historical design with the city center. In addition, OKRA included strategies to promote biodiversity. By introducing a variety of adaptive plant species, the park has become a home for small animals, birds and insects within the city. Through their interventions, OKRA transformed the historic site into a healthy space where humans and other organisms co-exist peacefully. 28. What made the plan to change the canal into a road fail? A. Shortage of money. B. Its possible harm to nature. C. The disagreement from the community. D. The difficulty in preserving its historic features. 29. What can we learn about OKRA’s design from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It is human-centered. B. It features traditional local culture. C. Mechanical equipment is widely used. D. Eco-friendly materials are used. 30. Which of the following best describes the restoration project? A. Costly. B. Debatable C. Commercial. D. Successful. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote harmony between man and nature. B. To introduce a restoration project. C. To show ways to transform a city. D. To tell the history of a canal. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了荷兰的乌得勒支的居民和OKRA景观建筑师合作设计的一个公园和运河的长期修复项目，通过实施这个设计方案，这个公园和运河改造成了一个健康的空间，人类和其他生物在这里和平共存。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Since the community reacted strongly against the proposal, the ring road was never built.(由于社区对这一提议反应强烈，环城公路从未修建。)”可知，环城公路没有修建是因为遭到社区居民的强烈反对。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It promotes interaction with nature by providing citizens with green and blue spaces that provide relaxation.This includes space to run and exercise in the park and row and paddle board in the canal.(它通过为市民提供绿色和蓝色的空间来促进与自然的互动。这包括在公园里跑步和锻炼的空间，以及在运河里划船和桨板的空间。)”以及第4段的第二句话“Pedestrians are the top choice, and they are given their own paths where possible.(行人是首选，并且在可能的情况下给他们自己的道路。)”可知，这个修复项目充分考虑了居民的出行，运动和休闲，体现了以人为本的设计理念。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“By introducing a variety of adaptive plant species, the park has become a home for small animals, birds and insects within the city.Through their interventions, OKRA transformed the historic site into a healthy space where humans and other organisms co-exist peacefully.(通过引入各种适应性植物物种，公园已成为城市中小型动物、鸟类和昆虫的家园。通过他们的干预，OKRA将这个历史遗址改造成了一个健康的空间，在这里人类和其他生物和平共存。)”可知，通过改造，人和动物在这个公园一带和谐相处，共生共长，说明改造很成功。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的主旨大意“荷兰的乌得勒支的居民和OKRA景观建筑师合作设计的一个公园和运河的长期修复项目，通过实施这个设计方案，这个公园和运河改造成了一个健康的空间，人类和其他生物在这里和平共存。”可知，本文的写作目的是在向读者介绍一个公园和运河的修复方案。故选B项。 D If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 32. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 33. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 34. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 35. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。 32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.”（盐不会直接融化冰，也不会让雪消失。）以及第二句“Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.”（相反，它使水更不容易冻结，这种现象被称为冰点降低。）可知，第二段第一句的目的是揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使雪和冰融化的错误想法。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.”（正常情况下，当水结冰时，它的分子会排成一行，形成一个稳定有序的结构。然而，盐会打断这一过程，而温度必须降得更低，才能克服这种干扰，从而发生冻结。）可知，盐会干扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。故选D项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.”（北美湖泊中氯化物densities的增加可能会扰乱当地生态，并使饮用水源退化。）可知，氯离子的浓度增加会是当地生态系统受到干扰，并使饮用水源退化。所以划线词的意思是“浓度”。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是“All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition…”（所有这些试验都是为了确保人们在任何天气条件下都能出行。）可知，本段主要阐述地方政府正在努力确保冰雪天气人们出行安全。故选B项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___36___It shines our way through darkness. Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.___37___And how? Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.___38___It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights. What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?___39___ The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why. Rome was not built in a day.___40___It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges. A. Individuals need to bring it out. B. It isn’t something you are born with. C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors. F. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions. G. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述智慧是我们前进道路上的指路明灯，并且探讨了如何才能获取智慧。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.（在一个充满混乱、争议和冲突的世界里，它不仅是一种可取的品质，而且是绝对必要的。）”和下文“It shines our way through darkness.（它照亮我们穿越黑暗的道路。）”可知，智慧可以为我们的世界导航，照亮前方的道路，所以，空处应该是将智慧比作灯塔。G项“In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.（为了在其中航行，智慧成为我们的指路明灯。）”承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 【37题详解】 上文“Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.（虽然这些角色给了我们每个人无数的灵感，但智慧其实在于我们自己。）”和下文“And how?（那怎么做呢？）” 说明虽然童话故事和魔幻电影里的角色让我们感受到智慧，但获取和运用智慧在于我们自己。空处应该进一步引出我们和智慧的关系。A项“Individuals need to bring it out.（个人需要把它带出来。）”承上启下，其中it指代前文提到的wisdom，且引出下文“个人怎样将智慧带出来”的内容。故选A项。 【38题详解】 上文“To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.（为了确定真相，你需要接受不同的观点。）”说明应该接受不同的观点。F项“Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions.（永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点上。）”承接上文，说明不应该只追随最流行的观点，并且和下文“It is not emotion-based either.（它也不是基于情感的。）”相衔接，符合语境。故选F项。 【39题详解】 上文“What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?（如果你渴望个人成长和进步呢?）”提出假设，空处应该会对假设做出解答或说明。E项“A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.（要做到这一点，一个捷径就是找有智慧的人做你的导师。）”对上文的问题给出了回答，下文“The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.（你和他们相处的时间越长，学到的知识就越多。）”中的them呼应wise people。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Rome was not built in a day.（罗马不是一天建成的。）”和下文“It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges.（重要的是要认识到，当你面对生活的挑战时，你需要一段时间的生活和不断的努力来获得成熟的智慧。）”可知，此段讲获取智慧不是一蹴而就的，需要不断努力。D项“Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.（记住，发展智慧是无止境的。）”承上启下，和前文结构一致，形成对比，引出下文。故选D项。 三、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) When I was growing up, every evening before bedtime my father would tell me stories of his childhood.

When I lifted my left hand out of a grocery bag, I suddenly couldn’t breathe. Looking at the ring on my finger, I found the star sapphire (蓝宝石)was gone. Mom had given me the ring on my twenty-first birthday. I had worn it every day for twenty-nine years. It was a reminder of Mom and a symbol of our love. “No! No! No!” I yelled, hurrying to check the bag and the floor, and then my car, but the star sapphire was nowhere to be found. Feeling helpless, I called my best friend, Marie. “The star sapphire in my ring fell out. I don’t know what to do,” I said, extremely worried. Marie replied, “Please don’t be anxious. Try to stay calm and positive. You can go back to the places you just visited and take a look.” But how could I keep hope in seemingly impossible situations? Anyway, I started my car and drove to the grocery store again. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was little chance that I could find my stone. Back at the grocery store, I pulled into the same parking spot and looked everywhere for my star sapphire. My hands and knees felt the hot ground as I searched crazily around and under my SUV car. Then I rushed inside the store, searching for a familiar face for more help. I spotted Amanda, a staff member whom I had met on previous shopping trips, and urgently tapped her on the shoulder. “I was just here twenty minutes ago and lost the stone of this ring. It’s very special to me. It’s from my late mom. Could you please help me look for it?” I cried, unaware that many other people around also heard my words. Amanda’s eyes softened and she nodded understandingly. She immediately took a large mop(拖把) and started carefully sweeping it back and forth down the first aisle (过道) of the huge store. Paragraph 1: In tears, I called after her, “It’s light blue and small.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Suddenly, a customer near the counter excitedly called out loudly, “Oh, Madam, I’ve found it!”. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: In tears, I called after her, “It’s light blue and small.” “Would you mind if I help you look for it?” said a customer nearby suddenly. “Oh, thank you,” I replied in surprise. “Let me also help,” another customer said. Soon, many customers and workers spared their time and joined the search, getting down on their hands and knees. Meanwhile, the music in the store was replaced by the announcement of wishing people to help find my stone. I was touched and my hope increased. However, after an hour’s search, there was still no luck, which made me feel hopeless. Paragraph 2: Suddenly, a customer near the counter excitedly called out loudly, “Oh, Madam I’ve found it!” We all immediately looked up at him, whose hand was holding up a shining stone. Thrilled, I ran towards him, finding it was truly my lost star sapphire. Relief washed over me, and I gave the customer a hug with gratitude. Then, all the others inside the store cheered and clapped, glad that I finally got my valuable stone back. I sincerely thanked everyone and shared the good news with Marie. Driving home, I was filled with great peace and warmth due to those kind people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以蓝宝石为线索展开，讲述了作者发现戒指上的蓝宝石丢失了，这枚戒指是作者的妈妈在作者21岁生日那天送给作者的。29年来，作者每天都戴着它。它让作者想起了去世的妈妈，也是她们爱的象征。她马上回到她购物的商店寻找。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我流着泪在她身后说道:“它是浅蓝色的，很小。”及第二段首句可知，第一段可描写顾客和工作人员都帮忙寻找，广播也播出了这个事情，但是没有找到。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，柜台附近的一位顾客兴奋地大声喊道:“哦，夫人，我找到了！”可知，第二段可描写一个顾客找到了蓝宝石以及作者的心情和感悟。 2.续写线索：帮忙寻找——没找到——作者沮丧——一位顾客找到了——作者感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.帮助：help /assist 2.取代：replace/take place of 情绪类 1.兴奋的：thrilled/excited 2. 高兴的：glad/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1] We all immediately looked up at him, whose hand was holding up a shining stone.
