B Zheng Qinwen announced herself as a major new force in women’s tennis with an import French Open debut (首秀) last month. Now the Chinese teenager hopes the fighting spirit she showed at the Grand Slam (大满贯) tournament can encourage kids starting out in the sport to chase their dreams on the court with the same determination. “If tennis is your dream, I think you always have to fight for your dream. Because we only have one life, you shouldn’t have any regrets,” Zheng said last week in an interview. The 19-year-old showed she possesses the talent to be a contender at the very top level of tennis with a breakout campaign at French Open. Accounting for two-time Grand Slam winner Simona Halep along the way, Zhengs journey was ended in the fourth round by a three-set defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. Zheng, though gave the Polish world No. 1 a big scare, battling back from 3-0 down in the first set to force, and win, a tiebreak (平分决胜局)。 “That was the first time I had played the world No.1, so I really wanted to grab this chance so I could judge her level and test myself,” said Zheng. “I didn’t want to give her the match so easy like that. It was pretty difficult for me to hold on in that match because of what my body was going through, but I wanted to show her I'm not easily beaten. Looking back at Zheng Qinwen’s performances in this year’s French Open there’s no doubt that she’s a true fighter. Zheng says she avoids being discouraged by higher-ranked opponents by simply focusing on the next point, one shot at a time.Supported by her team, she hopes she can one day win a Grand Slam title. Zheng’s impressive French Open run has inevitably led to comparisons with China’s solitary Grand Slam singles championLi Na, who won the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open titles. “When I was a kid, Li Na showed that Asian people also can do something really good in tennis. She was the first one. I will just focus on my own game and then let’s see if I can really compete at the highest level,” said Zheng. 4. What does the underlined word “contender” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Organizer. B. Announcer. C. Competitor. D. Designer. 5. What is the result of the match between Zheng and Iga Swiatek? A. Iga Swiatek beat Zheng easily. B. Zheng lost to Iga Swiatek at last. C. Zheng won the match despite her pain. D. Iga Swiatek lost because of her mistakes. 6. Why is Li Na mentioned in paragraph 7? A. To explain why Li Na has achieved a lot B. To prove failure is the mother of success. C. To show how excellent Zheng Qinwen is. D. To compare the difference between Zheng Qinwen and LI Na 7. Which of the following can best describe Zheng Qinwen? A. Optimistic and generous. B. Struggling and determined C. Independent and helpful. D. Adventurous and realistic. C Despite earning more than $ 100,000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that a loss of employment or sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low income earners. This feeling of being on the “edge” of poverty, despite these levels of income, seems a bit ridiculous but it really comes down to easy credit, misunderstanding of their incomes and peer group pressures. Even in today’s tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That’s why they accumulate credit card debt faster than average. Many higher income earners feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are — or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does. Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don't come from particularly privileged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were — so they spend like that as well. They don’t take account of the effect of inflation, which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents’ generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high income earners only look at the top line figures. A $ 100,000 income before tax is only about $ 70,000 after tax. 8. Who is the text centered on? A. The upper middle class. B. The lower income group. C. People living in poverty. D. People getting into debt. 9. What causes some people to spend beyond their income according to the text? A. Lack of real budget. B. Easy availability of credit. C. The good economic climate. D. Their privileged backgrounds. 10. What does the author intend to remind young professionals about in the end? A. They should focus on their top line figures. B. They need to look ahead rather than look back. C. They actually don't earn as much as they think. D. They should form good personal financial habits. 11. Which of the following might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Effects of peer group pressures. B. Ways to keep financial stability. C. Harm of poor money management. D. Tips on reducing the risk of poverty. D Those who work on the “996” model (where employees work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week) must envy their counterparts (对应的人)in an American company, because they have a shorter work week. Basecamp, a Chicago-based web application company gives all his employees a short work week: just four days—a total of 32 hours, between May and September every year. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year. “That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a co-founder. “Working 60-plus, or 70-plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 60-plus or 70-plus hours a week, there’s a management problem.” The company’s summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr. Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week - to recover from work, enjoy time with family and develop outside interests - would be undone. His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees’ physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度)of work. Moreover, it suggests that intensity work harms career prospects (前景).That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work. The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”. The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods. 12. What do we know about Basecamp’s four — day work week? A. It lasts nearly half a year. B. The work pressure is too high. C There are some management problems. D. Employees work more than 8 hours a day. 13. What does Mr. Fried intend to say in paragraph 2? A. Given plenty of time, people can do more. B. To get work done well needs plenty of time. C. People can do a job very well in a short work week. D. A long work week is appropriate for reduced workload. 14. What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us? A. Getting much more rest. B. Improving work quality. C. Refusing a five-day work week. D. Avoiding working too intensely. 15. What can be the best title for this passage? A. More Work, More Profits B. Shorter Week, Better Reward C. Less Work, Less Benefits D. Longer Hours, Higher Intensity 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） Don’t you think walking in the city is very different from walking in the park? A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ___16___. It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive tiredness and improve reaction times straight away. ___17___ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ___18___ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ___19___ Participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ___20___ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. B. Nature influences us in many ways. C. Different approaches are employed in the separate experiment. D. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. E. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. F. The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. G. The reason is that urban environments are more distracting. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分15分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） I get up in the dark hours of the morning for three reasons only: to attend ANZAC Day service, to ____21____ a cheap flight, or to witness an astronomical (天文的) event.

On Wednesday he came out of his small discouraging room and walked into the crowded and hot bus, and leaned against a seat, started closing his eyes and dreamed up. All of a sudden, his dream was stopped by the hissing of the bus door. It was his stop and in a rush, he hurried out of the bus. He started coughing since exhaust hit him and he thought to himself not the finest start of the day... oh well, as usual. Jack still had time, since his working day would only start in half an hour, so to gather his thoughts and to put himself in another annoying work day. Despite what it may seem his life was not that bad. He was a normal guy with some hobbies and friends, a good job, and a bright future. Yet incidentally this August was tough on him and it threw him off track. While walking he met a couple. He could hear them talking in a foreign language and concluded that the language was Russian. He thought that they are probably tourists and are going to simply pass by, yet to his surprise in a broken English the woman asked him. “Excuse me! Please, could you help?” “Yes, sure, what can I do for you?” “We tourist and we lost Red Tree hotel. Where is it? You know?” Although knowing where exactly the hotel was and although he wasn’t in a hurry, because of being so involved in his own hardships and his bad mood he mechanically (机械地) lied saying “I have no idea. I’m sorry... I’m in a hurry.” and moved off. He walked about 100 feet and a wave of shame and guilt covered him. Then he imagined how horrifying and difficult it could be staying in a huge city as New York without being able to properly communicate. 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。 Paragraph 1: He turned back and fortunately the couple was still there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Yet seeing the confused look on the couple, he realized what he should do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力: 1-5 CACAB 6-10 BBCAA 11-15 ABCBB 16-20 CBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2022-2023 学年高二下学期第一次月考 英语试题 考试时间: 120分钟 试卷分数: 150分 第I卷（选择题, 共95分） 第一部分 听力理解（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） 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了19岁网球选手郑钦文在法网公开赛中取得不俗成绩，表明自己是女子网球的重要新生力量。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“The 19-year-old showed she possesses the talent to be a contender at the very top level of tennis with a breakout campaign at French Open.(这位19岁的选手在法国网球公开赛上表现出了成为顶级网球contender的天赋)”，结合第一段的“Zheng Qinwen announced herself as a major new force in women’s tennis with an import French Open debut (首秀) last month.(上个月，郑钦文在法国网球公开赛上首次亮相，表明了自己是女子网球的重要新生力量)”可知，郑钦文在法网公开赛首次亮相就证明了自己的实力，由此可知，她有成为顶级网球选手的天赋。故划线词contender意为“选手”，与competitor同义。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Zhengs journey was ended in the fourth round by a three-set defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. (郑的征途在第四轮以三盘的比分被最终的冠军Iga Swiatek终结)”可知，郑最终输给了Iga Swiatek。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段的“Zheng’s impressive French Open run has inevitably led to comparisons with China’s solitary Grand Slam singles championLi Na, who won the 2011 French Open and 2014 Australian Open titles.(郑在法网的出色表现不可避免地让人将其与中国唯一的大满贯单打冠军李娜进行比较。李娜曾获得2011年法网和2014年澳网冠军)”与常识可知，李娜是非常优秀的网球运动员。由此推知，提到李娜是为了表明郑在网球方面也非常优秀。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““If tennis is your dream, I think you always have to fight for your dream. Because we only have one life, you shouldn’t have any regrets,” Zheng said last week in an interview.(“如果网球是你的梦想，我认为你总是要为你的梦想而奋斗。因为我们只有一次生命，你不应该有任何遗憾，”郑在上周的一次采访中说)”，第三段“The 19-year-old showed she possesses the talent to be a contender at the very top level of tennis with a breakout campaign at French Open.(这位19岁的网球选手在法国网球公开赛上表现出色，展现了她成为顶级网球选手的天赋)”和第五段的“I didn’t want to give her the match so easy like that. It was pretty difficult for me to hold on in that match because of what my body was going through, but I wanted to show her I'm not easily beaten.(我不想让她的比赛这么容易。对我来说，在那场比赛中坚持住是非常困难的，因为我的身体原因，但我想告诉她，我不是那么容易被打败的)”推知，郑是一个努力且有决心的人。故选B。 C Despite earning more than $ 100,000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that a loss of employment or sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low income earners. This feeling of being on the “edge” of poverty, despite these levels of income, seems a bit ridiculous but it really comes down to easy credit, misunderstanding of their incomes and peer group pressures. Even in today’s tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That’s why they accumulate credit card debt faster than average. Many higher income earners feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are — or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does. Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don't come from particularly privileged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were — so they spend like that as well. They don’t take account of the effect of inflation, which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents’ generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high income earners only look at the top line figures. A $ 100,000 income before tax is only about $ 70,000 after tax. 8. Who is the text centered on? A. The upper middle class. B. The lower income group. C. People living in poverty. D. People getting into debt. 9. What causes some people to spend beyond their income according to the text? A. Lack of real budget. B. Easy availability of credit. C. The good economic climate. D. Their privileged backgrounds. 10. What does the author intend to remind young professionals about in the end? A. They should focus on their top line figures. B. They need to look ahead rather than look back. C. They actually don't earn as much as they think. D. They should form good personal financial habits. 11. Which of the following might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Effects of peer group pressures. B. Ways to keep financial stability. C. Harm of poor money management. D. Tips on reducing the risk of poverty. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。讨论了对于“高收入者”的真实生活情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一自然段“Despite earning more than $ 100, 000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that a loss of employment or sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low income earners.”（尽管家庭收入超过10万美元，但是许多人觉得他们是在按月生活，突然的医疗紧急情况很容易使他们从中上层阶级变成低收入者。）可知，文章是针对高收入群体对于自己现状的焦虑，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二自然段“Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford.”（他们能够毫无困难地获得信贷，给了他们一种虚假的安全感，使得他们的消费远远超过他们所能承受得起的范围。）可知，因为高收入群体觉得自己很容易获得贷款，所以做了超前消费，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They don't take account of the effect of inflation, which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents' generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax.”（他们没有考虑到通货膨胀，这意味着生活的花销比他们父母那一代要高的多。此外，你赚的越多，你交的税越多。）可知，年轻人对于自己真实赚的钱不是很清楚，其实他们所获得的没有他们自己想象那么多，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一自然段“This feeling of being on the “edge” of poverty, despite these levels of income, seems a bit ridiculous but it really comes down to easy credit, misunderstanding of their incomes and peer group pressures.”（尽管这种在贫穷边缘的感觉似乎有点不可思议，但是有这些水平的收入者真的会感受到。但是归根结底来说是轻易的信贷，对于他们收入的误解和同辈的压力。）可知，文章已经对于前两点进行了解释，所以接下来应该是说明同伴群体压力的影响。故选A。 D Those who work on the “996” model (where employees work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week) must envy their counterparts (对应的人)in an American company, because they have a shorter work week. Basecamp, a Chicago-based web application company gives all his employees a short work week: just four days—a total of 32 hours, between May and September every year. Also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year. “That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a co-founder. “Working 60-plus, or 70-plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 60-plus or 70-plus hours a week, there’s a management problem.” The company’s summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr. Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week - to recover from work, enjoy time with family and develop outside interests - would be undone. His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees’ physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度)of work. Moreover, it suggests that intensity work harms career prospects (前景).That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work. The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”. The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods. 12. What do we know about Basecamp’s four — day work week? A. It lasts nearly half a year. B. The work pressure is too high. C. There are some management problems. D. Employees work more than 8 hours a day. 13. What does Mr. Fried intend to say in paragraph 2? A. Given plenty of time, people can do more. B. To get work done well needs plenty of time. C. People can do a job very well in a short work week. D. A long work week is appropriate for reduced workload. 14. What does the research mentioned in the text want to tell us? A. Getting much more rest. B. Improving work quality. C. Refusing a five-day work week. D. Avoiding working too intensely. 15. What can be the best title for this passage? A. More Work, More Profits B. Shorter Week, Better Reward C. Less Work, Less Benefits D. Longer Hours, Higher Intensity 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了工作时间越长以及工作强度越大对工作质量的提升起到了反作用，不仅不利于员工的身心健康，同时也损害了员工的职业前景。实际上缩短每周的工作时间，对于工作质量的提升和员工的身心健康都有好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Basecamp, a Chicago-based web application company gives all his employees a short work week: just four days—a total of 32 hours, between May and September every year. ”可知，总部位于芝加哥的网络应用程序公司Basecamp为它的所有员工提供了短暂的工作时间：每年五月至九月期间，每周只工作四天，总共32个小时。经过简单计算可知，Basecamp公司的每周四天工作制会持续将近半年。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a co-founder. “Working 60-plus, or 70-plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 60-plus or 70-plus hours a week, there’s a management problem.””可知，公司的联合创始人Jason Fried说到，“有足够的时间可以将工作完成得很出色。这是我们期望的，也是我们希望员工做到的。他们无需工作60或70多个小时。实际上，如果你每周必须工作60个小时或70个小时以上，那么你的时间管理是存在问题的”。即从Mr. Fried说的话中可知，人们在短暂的工作周内可以很好地完成工作。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees’ physical and mental health. It is also the intensity (强度)of work. Moreover, it suggests that intensity work harms career prospects (前景).That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.”可知，他的新研究发现，不只是长时间的工作对员工的身心健康有害，工作强度太大对身心健康也是有害的。此外，研究表明工作强度会损害职业前景。这是因为无法忍受的工作时间和强度对工作质量的提升起到了反作用，从而降低了工作质量。由此可知，文章中提到的研究想告诉人们要避免工作强度过大。故选D。 【15题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段“The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”. The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.”可知，该研究得出的结论是，工作强度通常比超时工作更能带来不良后果。这项研究比较了具有相似工作和教育水平的人，结果发现，如果长时间紧张地工作，他们更有可能体验到较差的幸福感和较差的职业前景，包括工作满意度，安全感和晋升。再结合第2题的分析“在短暂的一周内员工就可以很好地完成工作”。因此，缩短每周的工作时间，对于工作质量的提升和员工的身心健康都有好处。因此B项（较短的一周，更好的回报。）可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） Don’t you think walking in the city is very different from walking in the park? A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ___16___. It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive tiredness and improve reaction times straight away. ___17___ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ___18___ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ___19___ Participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ___20___ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. B. Nature influences us in many ways. C. Different approaches are employed in the separate experiment. D. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. E. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. F. The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. G. The reason is that urban environments are more distracting. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项小型心理学研究表明，城市环境会放慢你的脚步，并可能增加你的精神负荷，文章详细说明了研究开展的过程以及研究发现。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Don’t you think walking in the city is very different from walking in the park? A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. (难道你不认为在城市里散步和在公园里散步很不一样吗？一项小型心理学研究表明，城市环境会放慢你的脚步，并可能增加你的精神负荷。)”以及后文“It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. (它可以放松你的心灵，加快你的步伐。)”可知，空处与上文构成转折，指出在自然环境中散步不会像在城市环境里散步那样，增加精神负荷，它会放松你的心灵，加快你的步伐。A选项“然而，在大自然中漫步却会产生相反的效果。”承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive tiredness and improve reaction times straight away. (它可以放松你的心灵，加快你的步伐。研究结果表明，自然环境可能会潜在地减少认知疲劳，并立即改善反应时间。)”以及下一段中“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. (这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上。)”可知，下一段说明了实验的开展过程，且提到了是两个实验中的一个，推测本句起到引出下文的作用，旨在指出实验采用了不同的方法。C选项“在各个实验中采用了不同的方法。”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load.   During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene.(这项新研究的两个实验中的第一个集中在人们的走路方式和认知负荷上。在这项试验中，参与者被安装了传感器和十几个运动控制摄像机，观察他们以自然速度在一个15米的房间里反复行走。他们对面的墙展示了一幅自然景色或城市景色的图像。)”可知，上文说明了参与者被要求观看一幅自然景色或城市景色的图像，可知本句是在说明观看图像之后的实验过程，E选项“每一次之后，参与者被要求评估他们的不舒服程度。”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment).(参与者被要求区分电脑上的基本视觉形状，同时也要面对自然图像或城市图像（与第一个实验相同）。)”可知，后文提到这一实验也要求和第一个实验一样观看自然图像或城市图像，不同的是参与者被要求区分电脑上的基本视觉形状，可知本段是在说明第二项研究的关注点：更高层次的认知过程，F选项“第二项研究深入到一些更高层次的认知过程。”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes.(在城市环境中，参与者辨别简单形状的速度较慢。)”以及后文“Our brains take longer to process.(我们的大脑需要更长的时间来处理)”可知，上文提到参与者在城市环境中，辨别简单形状的速度较慢，可知本句是在说明产生这一情况的原因：城市环境更容易让人分心。G选项“原因是城市环境更容易让人分心。”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分15分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） I get up in the dark hours of the morning for three reasons only: to attend ANZAC Day service, to ____21____ a cheap flight, or to witness an astronomical (天文的) event.

On Wednesday he came out of his small discouraging room and walked into the crowded and hot bus, and leaned against a seat, started closing his eyes and dreamed up. All of a sudden, his dream was stopped by the hissing of the bus door. It was his stop and in a rush, he hurried out of the bus. He started coughing since exhaust hit him and he thought to himself not the finest start of the day... oh well, as usual. Jack still had time, since his working day would only start in half an hour, so to gather his thoughts and to put himself in another annoying work day. Despite what it may seem his life was not that bad. He was a normal guy with some hobbies and friends, a good job, and a bright future. Yet incidentally this August was tough on him and it threw him off track. While walking he met a couple. He could hear them talking in a foreign language and concluded that the language was Russian. He thought that they are probably tourists and are going to simply pass by, yet to his surprise in a broken English the woman asked him. “Excuse me! Please, could you help?” “Yes, sure, what can I do for you?” “We tourist and we lost. Red Tree hotel. Where is it? You know?” Although knowing where exactly the hotel was and although he wasn’t in a hurry, because of being so involved in his own hardships and his bad mood he mechanically (机械地) lied saying “I have no idea. I’m sorry... I’m in a hurry.” and moved off. He walked about 100 feet and a wave of shame and guilt covered him. Then he imagined how horrifying and difficult it could be staying in a huge city as New York without being able to properly communicate. 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。 Paragraph 1: He turned back and fortunately the couple was still there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Yet seeing the confused look on the couple, he realized what he should do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: He turned back and fortunately the couple was still there. He went up to them and told them that he was sorry for his behaviour, explaining, “I simply got a bit confused. I suddenly remember the location of the hotel.” And then he took out a pen and a piece of paper to draw the route to Red Tree Hotel. He explained to them slowly and patiently. The couple stared at them confusedly, trying to catch each word they heard. Paragraph 2: Yet seeing the confused look on the couple, he realized what he should do next. He needed do something of more importance than sitting in an office the whole day. Immediately he called his boss asking for a leave. After getting the permission of his boss, Jack told the couple that he would walk them to the hotel. The couple were delighted. The next hour on the way to the hotel the couple told him stories about their travels and shared their impressions about this city in their broken English. After they got to the hotel the couple thanked Jack many times. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了心情一团糟的杰克在上班途中遇到了迷路的俄罗斯游客问路，但他并不想帮助他们。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他转过身，幸运是那对夫妇还在那里。”可知，第一段可描写杰克发现自己行为不妥，决定帮助迷路的游客。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，看到这对夫妇困惑的表情，他意识到下一步该做什么。”可知，第二段可描写杰克决定亲自送他们回到旅馆，并得到夫妇的感谢。 2.续写线索：表达歉意——耐心指路——亲自当向导——得到感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记起：remember/recall ②给……打电话：call/phone ③感谢：thank/appreciate/show gratitude to 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②耐心地：patiently/with patience 【点睛】[高分句型1] The couple stared at them confusedly, trying to catch each word they heard.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) [高分句型2] After getting the permission of his boss, Jack told the couple that he would walk them to the hotel.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型3] After they got to the hotel the couple thanked Jack many times.(运用了after引导时间状语从句) 听力: 1-5 CACAB 6-10 BBCAA 11-15 ABCBB 16-20 CBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
