B I am an ecologist from Zimbabwe, but I’ve been based at the National University of Lesotho in Maseru for more than 13 years. Lesotho is a mountainous inland kingdom in southern Africa. Its high-altitude (高海拔的) wetlands support the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which delivers water to the Vaal River System in South Africa, generating both income and electricity for Lesotho. I study the ecological balance that keeps those areas functioning properly: The wetlands t rap water when it rains and release it gradually during dry periods. An important part of this is to map the plants, animals and general environmental conditions, and how they change over time. One of our team projects monitors the soundscapes of those areas to identify the animals that live there. We put sensitive recording equipment in the field for weeks at a time. This is of great help because, although that site is just 180 kilometers from my university in the capital of Lesotho, it can take up to four hours to drive there. The data we gather are huge, and although we do listen to the recordings, we mainly use software to help us analyze the data. We want to compare our recordings between seasons, between dawn and dusk (晨昏) and between day and night, to understand the rhythms of the ecosystem. We also compare our recordings from different wetland types. High-altitude areas are easier to be affected by climate change and, in my view, it is the greatest threat those protected wetlands face. Listening to the recordings makes me happy because I enjoy hearing a variety of sounds especially the singing of different birds. In a small country like Lesotho, there are so many knowledge gaps to fill — it’s one of the benefits of being a researcher there. I hope that in the future some of you in this classroom will contribute to this as well. 24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Collecting water on rainy days. B. Harvesting electric power. C. Studying the ecological balance. D. Surviving during dry periods. 25. Why is it helpful to leave the recording equipment in the field for weeks? A. It can attract more animal lovers. B. It can save time on traveling there. C. It can offer directions to new drivers. D. It can test the quality of the equipment. 26 What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What to do with the recordings. B. Why climate change is a threat. C. How to record sounds in the wild. D. When natural sounds are recorded. 27. Where can you most probably find the text? A. In a news report. B. In a speech. C. In a research paper. D. In a travel guide. C Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art. In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint anything a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that AARON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes-AARON is creative. It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released is first album (唱片) on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba (木琴) player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to perform with other musicians, write original songs. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music—roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs-to identify patterns and then uses that information to create original works. It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would lead to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.” While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures. Therefore, robots in the art world are here to stay. 28. What was AARON able to do at first? A. Paint people and landscapes. B. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen. C. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen. D. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions. 29. What does the article tell us about Shimon? A. It is both a marimba and guitar player. B. It has created about 50,000 original songs. C. It is expected to push humans to achieve more. D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans. 30 What does the author’s attitude toward robots that create art? A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. AARON and Shimon B. Robots in the Real World C. Programmed Creativity D. Advancements in Technology D The sweet art of painting with caramelized sugar(焦糖) can be witnessed in China’s Sichuan province. This ancient craft still manages to amaze tourists lucky enough to stumble upon a skilled street artist. According to experts, this type of Chinese folk art originated from the Ming Dynasty when sugar animals and figures were created as part of ceremonies for sacrifice. During the Qing Dynasty, it gained even more popularity and the techniques were upgraded, which resulted in an increased number of patterns, most of them inspired by nature, wildlife and religion. In the beginning, people used molds(模具) to shape the caramelized sugar, but they were gradually replaced with a small bronze (青铜的) spoon that had to be used by talented artists who were experts at the art of normal painting as well. “Painting” artistic pieces from melted sugar is very different from regular painting. Because the hot sugar cools down very quickly, the painter has to work swiftly, making sure he follows the correct order of strokes(一画，笔画) to get every shape just right. In order to get familiar with the process and the technique, it’s recommended that artists practice normal painting first. Masters of this centuries-old craft use brown or white sugar as the main material. A bronze spoon and a small spade as tools, and a slab(厚块) of marble as the canvas. The sugar is melted over a fiery pot and spread over the canvas with the spoon. Once the shape is completed, the spade is used to glue a wooden stick to the artwork and to separate it from the marble slab. Then you can have your very own caramelized sugar dragon or tiger and a unique souvenir. The art is gaining support from both the general public and the government, who had it listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage. 32. What does the underlined phrase probably mean in this passage? A. Employ. B. Attract. C. Become. D. Encounter. 33. What can we know about the caramelized sugar painting in Qing Dynasty? A. It played a more important role in ceremonies. B. The themes of the paintings were various. C. The molds were completely replaced by spoons. D. More people were attracted to study paintings. 34. What makes sugar painting different from regular painting? A. The order of strokes. B. The number of the patterns. C. The drawing materials. D. The topics of the paintings. 35. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. The history of making sugar paintings. B. The process of creating sugar paintings. C. The variety of different sugar paintings. D. The pleasure of enjoying sugar paintings. 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。 The number of people dying in natural disasters is lower today than it was in the past.

A river ran through them, so not only could I climb branches, but I could turn over rocks on the riverbank and find baby eels (鳗鱼). My favorite book was called Guide to Reptiles (爬行动物). My father had given it to me for my birthday, and I read every page over and over, looking at the pictures of colorful animals. Some of the snakes were the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen, and some were described as poisonous, but still an important part of the ecosystem. Little did I know that my book would end up saving a life. My family moved to Virginia, into a new house. The houses were so new that no one had lived in them before. In fact, woods had been there first, and almost all the trees had been cut down to make room for houses and driveways. Inside our new house, everything smelled like fresh paint. Outside, no lawns had been planted, but my father tossed out grass seed and baby seedlings grew. My brother Patrick and I could not walk on them. We had to play in the driveway. All the same, I liked our new house. One of the best things about living near the woods were the animals that would come into our yard. Rabbits and turtles came over every night. It seemed as if they were only trying to go home, and instead, what they had found was a big new land where their old homes used to be. Besides playing in the driveway, we spent time in a sandbox, which my father built right next to the driveway. One day before dinner, I ran to the sandbox to build a castle but found there in the sandbox was a snake. It was lying very still, and it was beautiful. The snake had rings of color around it-red, then white, then yellow, then black. I had seen a picture just like it in my reptile book, and I remembered that it was one of the prettiest snakes in it. It said in the book that the poisonous snake looked very much like it. I was scared and ran inside. Para 1: “Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级入学考试英语试卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题：每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一通。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation take place?

Today’s debate topic is, “Should philosophy lessons be offered in every high school?” In preparing for my speech, I surveyed some of my college classmates and listened to their opinions. Not many had attended philosophy classes at any point in their education. Of the few that had, most were privately educated. I asked those who had not studied philosophy if they felt they had missed out. Some said yes, but many others gave replies such as, “Philosophy isn’t very helpful in real life, is it?” Well, I disagree. It’s true that a philosophy degree won’t lead directly to a specific career, as a degree in law or engineering can do. However, the skills learned through studying philosophy are incredibly valuable in real-life situations. Philosophy teaches us to think and discuss ideas. It opens our minds to different viewpoints and improves our historical and cultural awareness. That’s why I strongly believe all high school students should study philosophy. 第二部分 阅读(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 Welcome to American United Travel Company.

Lesotho is a mountainous inland kingdom in southern Africa. Its high-altitude (高海拔) wetlands support the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which delivers water to the Vaal River System in South Africa, generating both income and electricity for Lesotho. I study the ecological balance that keeps those areas functioning properly: The wetlands t rap water when it rains and release it gradually during dry periods. An important part of this is to map the plants, animals and general environmental conditions, and how they change over time. One of our team projects monitors the soundscapes of those areas to identify the animals that live there. We put sensitive recording equipment in the field for weeks at a time. This is of great help because, although that site is just 180 kilometers from my university in the capital of Lesotho, it can take up to four hours to drive there. The data we gather are huge, and although we do listen to the recordings, we mainly use software to help us analyze the data. We want to compare our recordings between seasons, between dawn and dusk (晨昏) and between day and night, to understand the rhythms of the ecosystem. We also compare our recordings from different wetland types. High-altitude areas are easier to be affected by climate change and, in my view, it is the greatest threat those protected wetlands face. Listening to the recordings makes me happy because I enjoy hearing a variety of sounds, especially the singing of different birds. In a small country like Lesotho, there are so many knowledge gaps to fill — it’s one of the benefits of being a researcher there. I hope that in the future some of you in this classroom will contribute to this as well. 24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A Collecting water on rainy days. B. Harvesting electric power. C. Studying the ecological balance. D. Surviving during dry periods. 25. Why is it helpful to leave the recording equipment in the field for weeks? A. It can attract more animal lovers. B. It can save time on traveling there. C. It can offer directions to new drivers. D. It can test the quality of the equipment. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What to do with the recordings. B. Why climate change is a threat. C. How to record sounds in the wild. D. When natural sounds are recorded. 27. Where can you most probably find the text? A. In a news report. B. In a speech. C. In a research paper. D. In a travel guide. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者在莱索托高地的研究工作，包括研究生态平衡、监测声音景观、分析数据以及应对气候变化等。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“I study the ecological balance that keeps those areas functioning properly: The wetlands trap water when it rains and release it gradually during dry periods. An important part of  this is to map the plants, animals and general environmental conditions, and how they change over time.(我研究的是保持这些地区正常运转的生态平衡：湿地在下雨时蓄水，在干旱时期逐渐放水。这其中一个重要的部分是绘制植物、动物和一般环境条件的地图，以及它们是如何随时间变化的。)”可知，this指的是研究生态平衡，故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We put sensitive recording equipment in the field for weeks at a time.This is of great help because, although that site is just 180 kilometers from my university in the capital of Lesotho, it can take up to four hours to drive there. (我们把敏感的录音设备一次放上几个星期。这是很有帮助的，因为尽管那个地方离我在莱索托首都的大学只有180公里，但开车到那里却需要长达四个小时的时间。)”可知，把录音设备留在野外几周可以节省去那里的时间，故选B项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The data we gather are huge, and although we do listen to the recordings, we mainly use software to help us analyze the data. (我们收集的数据量非常大，尽管我们确实会听录音，但我们主要使用软件来帮助我们分析数据。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是如何处理录音数据，故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I hope that in the future some of you in this classroom will contribute to this as well. (我希望将来在座的一些人也能为这方面做出贡献。)”可知，这篇文章最有可能出现在一篇演讲中，故选B项。 C Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art. In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint anything a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that AARON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes-AARON is creative. It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released is first album (唱片) on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba (木琴) player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to perform with other musicians, write original songs. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music—roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs-to identify patterns and then uses that information to create original works. It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would lead to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.” While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures. Therefore, robots in the art world are here to stay. 28. What was AARON able to do at first? A. Paint people and landscapes. B. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen. C. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen. D. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions. 29. What does the article tell us about Shimon? A. It is both a marimba and guitar player. B. It has created about 50,000 original songs. C It is expected to push humans to achieve more. D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans. 30. What does the author’s attitude toward robots that create art? A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. AARON and Shimon B. Robots in the Real World C. Programmed Creativity D. Advancements in Technology 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是机器人在艺术节并不是什么新鲜事，文章主要说明了机器人在艺术世界的广泛应用情况。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add.(1973年，英国出生的画家Harold Cohen编写了一个计算机程序，并将其命名为AARON。起初，AARON只画了一些简单的轮廓，这些轮廓的颜色和细节后来由Cohen添加。)”可知，AARON一开始只能画出Cohen的轮廓线。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中“According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would lead to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”(据Shimon的创造者之一Gil Weinberg说，因为机器人能够做真正的音乐家可能想不到的事情，他和他的团队“希望并相信这些新能力将引领人类合作无法实现的新方向。”)”可知，Shimon有望推动人类取得更多成就。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而，现在不同的是，艺术家和工程师正在制造真正创造艺术的机器人。)”以及第三段中“It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though.(然而，机器人创造的不仅仅是绘画。)”可推知，作者对创造艺术的机器人持积极的态度。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而，现在不同的是，艺术家和工程师正在制造真正创造艺术的机器人。)”可知，本文主要说明了机器人在艺术世界的广泛应用情况，因此C选项“Programmed Creativity(编程的创造力)”，故选C。 D The sweet art of painting with caramelized sugar(焦糖) can be witnessed in China’s Sichuan province. This ancient craft still manages to amaze tourists lucky enough to stumble upon a skilled street artist. According to experts, this type of Chinese folk art originated from the Ming Dynasty when sugar animals and figures were created as part of ceremonies for sacrifice. During the Qing Dynasty, it gained even more popularity and the techniques were upgraded, which resulted in an increased number of patterns, most of them inspired by nature, wildlife and religion. In the beginning, people used molds(模具) to shape the caramelized sugar, but they were gradually replaced with a small bronze (青铜的) spoon that had to be used by talented artists who were experts at the art of normal painting as well. “Painting” artistic pieces from melted sugar is very different from regular painting. Because the hot sugar cools down very quickly, the painter has to work swiftly, making sure he follows the correct order of strokes(一画，笔画) to get every shape just right. In order to get familiar with the process and the technique, it’s recommended that artists practice normal painting first. Masters of this centuries-old craft use brown or white sugar as the main material. A bronze spoon and a small spade as tools, and a slab(厚块) of marble as the canvas. The sugar is melted over a fiery pot and spread over the canvas with the spoon. Once the shape is completed, the spade is used to glue a wooden stick to the artwork and to separate it from the marble slab. Then you can have your very own caramelized sugar dragon or tiger and a unique souvenir. The art is gaining support from both the general public and the government, who had it listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage. 32. What does the underlined phrase probably mean in this passage? A. Employ. B. Attract. C. Become. D. Encounter. 33. What can we know about the caramelized sugar painting in Qing Dynasty? A. It played a more important role in ceremonies. B. The themes of the paintings were various. C. The molds were completely replaced by spoons. D. More people were attracted to study paintings. 34. What makes sugar painting different from regular painting? A. The order of strokes. B. The number of the patterns. C. The drawing materials. D. The topics of the paintings. 35. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. The history of making sugar paintings. B. The process of creating sugar paintings. C. The variety of different sugar paintings. D. The pleasure of enjoying sugar paintings. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍四川省糖画的来源，发展及其制作过程。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The sweet art of painting with caramelized sugar(焦糖) can be witnessed in China’s Sichuan province. This ancient craft still manages to amaze tourists lucky enough to stumble upon a skilled street artist. (在中国的四川省可以看到用焦糖作画的甜蜜艺术。这项古老的工艺仍然让游客感到惊讶，他们有幸stumble upon了一位技艺高超的街头艺术家。)”可知，在中国的四川省可以看到用焦糖作画的甜蜜艺术，所以他们应该是有幸遇到了一位技艺高超的街头艺术家，所以，stumble upon的意思应该是“遇到”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During the Qing Dynasty, it gained even more popularity and the techniques were upgraded, which resulted in an increased number of patterns, most of them inspired by nature, wildlife and religion. (在清朝，它变得更加流行，技术也得到了升级，导致图案数量增加，其中大多数图案的灵感来自自然、野生动物和宗教。)”可知，在清朝，糖画的图案主题变得多了。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Painting” artistic pieces from melted sugar is very different from regular painting. Because the hot sugar cools down very quickly, the painter has to work swiftly, making sure he follows the correct order of strokes(一画，笔画) to get every shape just right. In order to get familiar with the process and the technique, it’s recommended that artists practice normal painting first. (用融化的糖绘制艺术作品与普通绘画有很大不同。因为热糖冷却得很快，画家必须迅速工作，确保他按照正确的笔画顺序画出每一个形状。为了熟悉这一过程和技巧，建议艺术家先练习普通绘画。)”可知，用融化的糖绘制艺术作品与普通绘画的不同在于，画家必须迅速工作，确保按照正确的笔画顺序画出每一个形状。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Masters of this centuries-old craft use brown or white sugar as the main material. A bronze spoon and a small spade as tools, and a slab(厚块) of marble as the canvas. The sugar is melted over a fiery pot and spread over the canvas with the spoon. Once the shape is completed, the spade is used to glue a wooden stick to the artwork and to separate it from the marble slab. Then you can have your very own caramelized sugar dragon or tiger and a unique souvenir.(这种有数百年历史的工艺大师使用红糖或白糖作为主要原料。一把青铜汤匙和一把小铲子作为工具，一块大理石作为画布。糖在一个火盆上融化，用勺子撒在画布上。形状完成后，用铲子将木棍粘在艺术品上，并将其与大理石板分离。然后你可以拥有自己的焦糖龙或虎和一个独特的纪念品。)”可知，这一段主要介绍糖画的制作过程。故选B。 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。 The number of people dying in natural disasters is lower today than it was in the past. Earthquakes can still be destructive though. _____36_____ ______37______ So the best place during it is likely a wide-open space with no buildings. Since earthquakes happen suddenly without warning, you have to think quickly to stay safe.

Quickly crawl under a strong desk or table nearby. _______38_______ If you are in bed, stay there and cover your head with a pillow until the shaking stops. Cover: Use one hand to cover your neck and head. Then crawl under a desk or table if there’s one close by. _____39_____ Stay on your hands and knees, keeping your hand over your neck for protection. Don’t stand by the outside walls with windows. Hold on: Hold onto your desk or table with one hand while keeping the other over your neck and head. ______40______ Remember, don’t try to move until the shaking has completely stopped. However, if you are outside, driving, or at the beach, trying to find something to hide under may not be an option. A. The biggest danger is falling pieces. B. Be ready to move with the desk or table. C. Run outside quickly when an earthquake happens. D. Advanced technology provides many ways for us to stay safer. E. If not, move towards a wall without windows inside the building. F. Don’t try to run downstairs or walk to a safer place because you might fall. G. However, keeping calm and finding a right place to stay when the ground starts shaking can help survive. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了地震中安全逃生的方法。 【36题详解】 在首段中，空前句子“The number of people dying in natural disasters is lower today than it was in the past. Earthquakes can still be destructive though.（如今死于自然灾害的人数已经低于过去。可是地震仍然极具破坏性）”指出地震带来的危害极大，由后文不难看出，文章的主题是介绍一些地震中求生的策略，则此处适合用G选项“然而，当地震开始时保持冷静并待在合适的地方能帮助你存活下来”的转折句意引出文章主题。故选G。 【37题详解】 由空后句子“So the best place during it is likely a wide-open space with no buildings.（所以地震时最好的去处是没有建筑的开阔地这类地方）”表达的因果关系不难推断，应用A选项“最大的危险是坠落下来的物体”与没有建筑的开阔地对应，构成因果关系，符合逻辑。故选A。 【38题详解】 本段的主题是Drop，即在地震时要尽快伏低身体，目的是“This keeps you from falling over.（这会使你免于摔倒）”，而空处前后句分别对周围有桌子和在床上时的情境给出了策略，显然F选项“不要试图走楼梯或是走到安全的地方去，因为可能会摔倒”是指出了错误的做法。故选F。 【39题详解】 本段的主题是Cover，即找到掩护。空前句子“Then crawl under a desk or table if there’s one close by.（如果身边有桌子，那就爬到下面）”指出身边有桌子时的策略，E选项“如果没有，就朝建筑内部没有窗户的墙靠拢”则对应相对的情形，且与段末的“Don’t stand by the outside walls with windows(不要站在有窗户的外墙旁边)”对应。故选E。 【40题详解】 本段主题是Hold on，即抓住掩护物体到地震结束，空前句子“Hold onto your desk or table with one hand while keeping the other over your neck and head.（用一只手抓住桌子，另一只手放在脖子和头上）”具体说明了Hold on含义，B选项“准备好和桌子一起移动”也是在强调地震期间要始终抓住身边的掩护物，衔接上文，符合主题。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ciudad Perdida, Colombia’s “Lost City” is older than Machu Picchu.

A river ran through them, so not only could I climb branches, but I could turn over rocks on the riverbank and find baby eels (鳗鱼). My favorite book was called Guide to Reptiles (爬行动物). My father had given it to me for my birthday, and I read every page over and over, looking at the pictures of colorful animals. Some of the snakes were the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen, and some were described as poisonous, but still an important part of the ecosystem. Little did I know that my book would end up saving a life. My family moved to Virginia, into a new house. The houses were so new that no one had lived in them before. In fact, woods had been there first, and almost all the trees had been cut down to make room for houses and driveways. Inside our new house, everything smelled like fresh paint. Outside, no lawns had been planted, but my father tossed out grass seed and baby seedlings grew. My brother Patrick and I could not walk on them. We had to play in the driveway. All the same, I liked our new house. One of the best things about living near the woods were the animals that would come into our yard. Rabbits and turtles came over every night. It seemed as if they were only trying to go home, and instead, what they had found was a big new land where their old homes used to be. Besides playing in the driveway, we spent time in a sandbox, which my father built right next to the driveway. One day before dinner, I ran to the sandbox to build a castle but found there in the sandbox was a snake. It was lying very still, and it was beautiful. The snake had rings of color around it-red, then white, then yellow, then black. I had seen a picture just like it in my reptile book, and I remembered that it was one of the prettiest snakes in it. It said in the book that the poisonous snake looked very much like it. I was scared and ran inside. Para 1: “Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Dad! Dad! There’s a snake in the sandbox!” I yelled. My heart was pounding fast as I peered through the window, watching the snake lying still in the sand. My father ran out with a shovel, ready to take action, but I begged him not to hurt it. I remembered from my reptile book that snakes were an important part of the ecosystem, and I didn’t want to cause any harm to the animal. My father, sensing my concern, agreed to leave the snake alone and made a call to the local zoo for help. Two hours after the call, the zoo expert arrived with a secure container. He carefully lifted the snake with a pair of tongs and placed it in the container. As he inspected it, he praised me for not hurting it, saying that snakes are often misunderstood creatures and that they play an essential role in the ecosystem. I felt a sense of pride, knowing that my knowledge from my reptile book had helped save the life of an innocent creature. It was a moment that changed my perspective on the world and taught me to be more mindful and respectful of all creatures, big and small. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢在家附近的树林里玩耍，最喜欢的书是《爬行动物指南》，通过这本书，作者知道毒蛇在生态系统中起到重要作用，所以当有一天他在沙箱里看到一条毒蛇时，阻止了父亲伤害它，让作者感到自豪，因为从爬行动物书中获得的知识帮助拯救了一个无辜的生物的生命。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““爸爸！爸爸！沙箱里有条蛇!”我喊道。”可知，第一段可描写作者父亲打算杀死蛇，但是被作者阻止了。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个小时后，动物园专家带着一个安全的容器赶到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者因为没有伤害蛇，拯救了一条生命而感到骄傲。 2. 续写线索：在车道旁玩——发现毒蛇——告诉父亲——阻止父亲伤害蛇——专家带走蛇——为拯救生命而感到骄傲 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①仔细看：peer/stare/gaze ②造成：cause/make ③检查：inspect/check/examine 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry/apprehension ②自豪：a sense of pride/proud 【点睛】[高分句型1]My heart was pounding fast as I peered through the window, watching the snake lying still in the sand.(as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语) [高分句型1]As he inspected it, he praised me for not hurting it, saying that snakes are often misunderstood creatures and that they play an essential role in the ecosystem.(as引导的时间状语从句，现在分词作状语及that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音。时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

Today's debate topic is, should philosophy lessons be offered in every high school? In preparing for my speech, I surveyed some of my college classmates and listened to their opinions. Not many had attended philosophy glasses at any point in their education of the few that had, most were privately educated. I asked those who had not studied philosophy if they felt they had missed out. Some said yes, but many others gave replies, such as, philosophy isn't very helpful in real life is IT. Well, I disagree. It's true that a philosophy degree won't to lead directly to a specific career as a degree in law or engineering can do. However, the skills learned through studying philosophy are incredibly valuable in real life situations. Philosophy teaches us to think and discuss ideas. IT opens our minds to different viewpoints, and improves our historical and cultural awareness. That's why I strongly believe all high school students should study philosophy. Hi everyone.
