Our expert’s pick of the best choices will help you turn beach dreams into beach days. Steephill Cove This traditional fishing cove will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time, with its brightly painted beach huts and old fisherman’s cottages, lobster pots (捕虾篓) and cheery, colorful deck chairs. There is a beach cafe to the back of Steephill Cove, which serves hot and cold refreshments and food, and there are also restaurants serving locally caught seafood during the season. Sandwood Bay Located in the very north of Scotland, this beach is considered to be one of the most untouched in mainland Britain. Unreachable by car, the wild and wonderful beach is accessed by a popular and fairly flat 4-mile-long path from the nearest car park, which adds a sense of remoteness to this charming place. Nanjizal Beach Due to its more distant location, amazing Nanjizal Beach is usually very quiet, apart from those walkers who have made the hike on the coastal path from either Porthgwarra, Lands End or Sennen Cove. There are many caves to discover and the ruins of an old watermill, too. Bamburgh Beach At any time of year, Bamburgh Beach is one of the most dramatic in the UK, thanks to the impressive castle located on a nearby hill that overlooks the skyline. Bamburgh also has some of the best waves in the UK, which makes it perfect for body boarders. Even if that’s not your thing, simply watching from the shore can be a thrilling experience. 1. What is special about Steephill Cove? A. It showcases its original charm. B. It has modern buildings. C. It allows visitors to catch seafood. D. It is home to different cafes. 2. How can visitors get to Sandwood Bay? A. By car. B. On foot. C. By plane. D. By ship. 3. Which of the following favors the surfers? A. Steephill Cove. B. Sandwood Bay. C. Nanjizal Beach. D. Bamburgh Beach. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个海滩的情况和特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This traditional fishing cove will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time, with its brightly painted beach huts and old fisherman’s cottages, lobster pots and cheery, colorful deck chairs.(这个传统的捕鱼湾会让你感觉自己回到了过去，那里有色彩鲜艳的海滩小屋和老渔民的小屋，捕虾篓和欢快的彩色甲板椅子)”可知，斯特菲尔湾的特别之处在于展现了它的原始魅力。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unreachable by car, the wild and wonderful beach is accessed by a popular and fairly flat 4-mile-long path from the nearest car park, which adds a sense of remoteness to this charming place.(开车无法到达，从最近的停车场出发，有一条很受欢迎的、相当平坦的4英里长的小路可以到达这个野生而美妙的海滩，这为这个迷人的地方增添了一种遥远的感觉)”可知，游客可以步行前往桑德伍德湾。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Bamburgh also has some of the best waves in the UK, which makes it perfect for body boarders.(在英国，班堡也有一些最好的海浪，这对于身体滑板者来说是完美的)”可知，冲浪者可以选择班堡海滩。故选D。 B After overcoming a severe stroke (中风) at just 22 months old, a young woman is taking to the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and inspire other stroke and injury survivors to become more independent. Chiara Beer, 27, who lives in Winchester, suffered a stroke as a baby which left her with lasting effects and a lifelong disability. She now lives with right-sided hemiplegia (偏瘫) — a condition that results in weakness and lack of movement in one side of the body. Growing up with this disability, as she got older, Chiara realized there was a huge lack of resources and information for young stroke survivors on the Internet and it was unable to find anyone else who was experiencing the similar things on her, so she decided to start sharing some relevant content on social media. The determined 27-year-old began posting videos, sharing more about her own story of stroke survival and showing her followers various aspects of her day-to-day life, living with only one working arm, for example, how she drives using a specially adapted car and how technology helps her to read and write, other things like tying her hair with one hand, doing up the button on her jeans or applying her make-up. She received a huge outpouring of love and support from her viewers, including messages of love from other stroke survivors and people who suffer from other similar disabilities, thanking her for showing them some hacks and tricks on how to become a little more independent. Chiara admitted that she loves knowing that she is able to offer support to other young stroke survivors, saying, “It makes me feel happy that I can help so many people.” She added, “I want to help raise awareness about young people having strokes and also I want to help young people to find a way to be able to be independent. As for me, this has always been my main goal: to be independent.” 4. What is the after-effect of Chiara’s stroke? A. Unable to drive a car. B. Unable to use his hands. C. Unable to move his body freely. D. Unable to communicate with others. 5. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The disabled are willing to share their life skills. B. Stroke survivors face many challenges in their daily life. C. There was much information about stroke treatment online. D. Young stroke survivors had little guidance to turn to online. 6. Why were other stroke survivors grateful to Chiara? A. Her story led them to have faith in life. B. She taught them to cure their disabilities. C. Her experience inspired them to live on their own. D. She served as a role model for them to live ambitiously. 7. What can we learn from Chiara’s story? A. Roses given, fragrance in hand. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Constant dripping wears away a stone. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了一位年轻女性Chiara Beer在经历中风后如何通过网络分享自己的生活，以此激励其他中风和受伤幸存者变得更加独立的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Chiara Beer, 27, who lives in Winchester, suffered a stroke as a baby which left her with lasting effects and a lifelong disability. She now lives with right-sided hemiplegia (偏瘫) — a condition that results in weakness and lack of movement in one side of the body.(27岁的Chiara Beer住在温彻斯特，她在婴儿时期曾中风，这给她留下了持久的影响和终身残疾。她现在患有右侧偏瘫，这是一种导致身体一侧虚弱和缺乏活动的疾病)”可知，Chiara中风的后遗症是不能自由活动他的身体。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Growing up with this disability, as she got older, Chiara realized there was a huge lack of resources and information for young stroke survivors on the Internet and it was unable to find anyone else who was experiencing the similar things on her, so she decided to start sharing some relevant content on social media.(随着年龄的增长，Chiara意识到互联网上非常缺乏针对年轻中风幸存者的资源和信息，而且找不到任何和她有类似经历的人，所以她决定开始在社交媒体上分享一些相关的内容)”可知，从本段可推出年轻的中风幸存者在网上几乎找不到什么指导。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She received a huge outpouring of love and support from her viewers, including messages of love from other stroke survivors and people who suffer from other similar disabilities, thanking her for showing them some hacks and tricks on how to become a little more independent.(她从观众那里得到了大量的爱和支持，包括其他中风幸存者和患有其他类似残疾的人的爱的信息，感谢她向他们展示了一些如何变得更加独立的技巧和技巧)”可知，Chiara的经历激励他们独立生活，所以其他中风幸存者感激她。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“After overcoming a severe stroke (中风) at just 22 months old, a young woman is taking to the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and inspire other stroke and injury survivors to become more independent.(一位年轻女性在仅22个月大时便克服了一场严重的中风，如今她正通过网络向人们展示如何用一只健全的手生活，并激励其他中风和伤残幸存者变得更加独立)”以及通读全文可知，本文讲述了Chiara通过自己的努力和毅力克服了中风带来的困难，并帮助其他人变得更加独立，体现了“有志者事竟成”的精神。故选C项。 C Emergency Mask Pod (面罩舱) is a plastic, 3D-printed and football-shaped case that contains a mask that protects the lungs of someone trapped in a fire until they were rescued. Alexis got the idea for the Emergency Mask Pod after hearing that a mother had thrown her baby out of the second floor window of their smoke-filled apartment during a fire in the building. The family was trapped in their apartment by the smoke. Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside, such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one. First, she found a small, lightweight smoke mask. The next step was to develop a way to launch or throw the mask up into an open second-story window. Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters. The football-shaped pod, which Alexis printed on her MakerBot 3D printer, was the clear winner, with an accuracy rate of over 70 percent. The firefighters testing the Emergency Mask Pod told her that it is needed by firefighters arriving at the scene of a fire. They told Alexis that when they find people trapped inside they wish they could give them some form of relief so they can breathe safely while firefighters try to reach them. A smoke delivery system could be used to provide that relief. The Emergency Mask Pod requires no special equipment, training, or permits; people at the scene of a fire could help fire victims (受害者) trapped inside smoky rooms without hesitation. EMTs, police officers, and firefighters could keep the mask and EM Pod in their vehicles and apartment complexes could store them in approachable places like community centers. The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives. 8. Why is the Emergency Mask Pod invented? A. To improve the design of smoke masks. B. To provide a way to deliver smoke masks. C. To help firefighters practice throwing skills. D. To protect first responders’ eyes from smoke. 9. How did Alexis test the effectiveness of different pods? A. By burning them in the local fire departments. B. By studying different materials for making pods. C. By doing a survey of people trapped in a fire before. D. By having firefighters throw them into windows many times. 10. Which word is closest in meaning to “retrieved” in the last paragraph? A. Returned. B. Accessed. C. Relieved. D. Launched. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Surviving the Flame: New Rescue Skills B. Smoke and Masks: The Future of Fire Safety C. A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod D. Breaking through Barriers: Firefighters’ Creations 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种3D打印的足球形状的面罩舱，这种面罩舱能够通过一种方法被投射到火灾地点，从而帮助受灾群众赢得一些获救的时间和机会。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。第二段提到“Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside, such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one.”（亚历克西斯想知道，是否有办法让等待在外面的人，比如邻居和急救人员，给被困在燃烧建筑物二楼的人送去防烟口罩。她的研究表明，没有这样的输送系统，所以亚历克西斯着手发明一个。）可知，亚力克西斯的研究发现，虽然有防烟口罩，但是没有这样的输送系统，这样也影响了火灾救援的效果，因此她想要发明一种方式来运送这种防烟口罩。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。第三段第三、四句提到“Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters.”（亚历克西斯建造了几个不同的吊舱，由当地消防员进行了测试。每个吊舱被37名消防员扔进二楼窗户290多次。）由此判断，亚力克西斯是通过让消防员扔来测试其有效性的。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“......by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.”（可以很容易地被受害者并戴上，为消防员拯救他们提供了宝贵的时间，并可能挽救数百或数千人的生命。）可知，这种面具如果要能很快地被受害者戴上的话，一定要能够方便受害者得到，这样才能为消防员的解救争取时间，retrieved在此处的意思是“取回”，与“accessed”（接近；获取）意思最接近。A. Returned.归还；B. Accessed.接近；获取；C. Relieved.缓解；减轻；D. Launched.发射。B项与划线词意思最为接近。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段通过一个让人痛心事情引出亚克力西斯对于emergency mask pod的想法，包括如何更加有效地投放面罩，其中最后一段提出“The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives.”（这种面具可以很容易地被受害者收回并戴上，为消防员拯救他们提供了宝贵的时间，并可能挽救数百或数千人的生命。）可知，文章主要介绍了Emergency Mask Pod的发明及其在火灾中的重要作用，C项“A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod”（穿越烟雾的生命线：面罩舱）符合文意。故选C。 D Whale conservationist Ted Cheeseman admits that the huge animals don’t patiently pose for photos. To help people feel a closer connect ion to each whale, Mr Cheeseman’s research company, Happy Whale, allows users to upload their photos onto its website. Happy Whale’s artificial intelligence (AI) software will then quickly search through its database of more than 70,000 different whales with the aim of telling you the exact animal that you were looking at. It can tell you the whale’s name, if it has already been given one, or invite you to choose one. And if the whale is one that has been previously recorded it will show you a map of everywhere that it has been sighted. The Al works by using adapted human facial recognition software to identify each whale’s uniquely shaped, colored or marked tail. Oregon-based Happy Whale uses all the data it gets from uploaded photos to help it track whale numbers and movements It is an example of a growing trend-conservation groups attempting to use Al to enable members of the public to identify animals or birds. And in return the organizations get a host of crowdsourced data. The Merlin Bird ID app allows users to find out what species of bird they are looking at or hearing. Merlin Bird users are encouraged to enter their location, and the size, color and behavior of the bird. This data is then added to the Macaulay Library, and scientists can use it to help them map bird populations, ranges and migratory patterns, and understand how they have changed. “Bird populations have been declining all over the world, but in the last 50 years, we’ve lost three billion birds in the US and Canada alone,” adds Ms Smith. “This is the first time we’ve been able to show this in real time.” “I believe any resource that helps birdwatchers learn more is positive, because that knowledge and enjoyment spark interest in conservation,” Wayne Klockner says. “People protect what they love and care about. If the application of AI contributes to that, birds will likely be better off.” 12. What can Happy Whale’s AI provide for its users? A. The growth rate of whales. B. The distribution map of whales. C. The average time a whale rises to the surface. D. The related information about the specific whale. 13. What does the author think of Happy Whale’s attempt? A. A win-win cooperation. B. A double-edged weapon. C. A safe bet. D. An attempt in the air. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The location of billions of birds. B. The decline in bird populations. C. The migratory pattern of birds. D. The range of birds in North America. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI makes people care about their pets. B. AI contributes to birdwatchers’ better life. C. AI helps to drive conservation efforts. D. AI is positively applied to bird watching. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能程序可以允许用户将他们的照片上传到网站上，然后提供鲸鱼的信息，这可以有助于保护动物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Happy Whale’s artificial intelligence (AI) software will then quickly search through its database of more than 70,000 different whales with the aim of telling you the exact animal that you were looking at.(然后，Happy Whale的人工智能（AI）软件将快速搜索数据库中超过7万种不同的鲸鱼，目的是告诉你所看到的确切动物)”可知，Happy Whale的AI能为用户提供关于特定鲸鱼的相关信息。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Oregon-based Happy Whale uses all the data it gets from uploaded photos to help it track whale numbers and movements. It is an example of a growing trend-conservation groups attempting to use Al to enable members of the public to identify animals or birds. And in return the organizations get a host of crowdsourced data.(总部位于俄勒冈州的Happy Whale利用从上传的照片中获得的所有数据来追踪鲸鱼的数量和活动。这是一个日益增长的趋势的一个例子——保护组织试图利用人工智能使公众能够识别动物或鸟类。作为回报，这些组织得到了大量的众包数据)”可知，作者认为Happy Whale的尝试属于合作共赢。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Bird populations have been declining all over the world, but in the last 50 years, we’ve lost three billion birds in the US and Canada alone(全世界的鸟类数量一直在下降，但在过去的50年里，仅在美国和加拿大，我们就失去了30亿只鸟类)”以及上文“This is the first time we’ve been able to show”可知，应用程序可以实时展示this（鸟类数量的减少）这一问题，故this指的是“鸟类数量的减少”。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I believe any resource that helps birdwatchers learn more is positive, because that knowledge and enjoyment spark interest in conservation,” Wayne Klockner says. “People protect what they love and care about. If the application of AI contributes to that, birds will likely be better off.”(“我相信任何帮助观鸟者了解更多的资源都是积极的，因为知识和乐趣激发了对保护的兴趣，”韦恩·克洛克纳说。“人们会保护他们所爱和关心的东西。如果人工智能的应用有助于这一点，鸟类可能会过得更好。”)”可知，人工智能有助于推动保护工作。故选C。 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。 Have you struggled to save up your pocket money or found it hard not to eat a whole packet of sweets in one go? ____16____ Also known as “willpower”, self-control means making short-term sacrifices for long-term rewards. This could be going without things you want to buy now to save up for a future treat, or walking away from an argument in case you say something hurtful. ____17____ It can be low at times like when you’re tired, hungry or stressed. However, there are ways to top it up. ____18____ Doing music practice every day means you get better at playing an instrument.

There are lots of studies that show good self-control can help make us happier and healthier. “It doesn’t always feel like it, but we all have willpower,” says scientist Eric Schulze. He explains that it’s like a muscle because the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. A good way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. Focus on small goals so you don’t use up all the energy in one go. “As the day wears on that willpower muscle shrinks (萎缩) and it’s harder to resist temptation (诱惑),” Schulze says. ____20____ Do something that makes you laugh as a good mood can overpower a weak will. A. Success comes from self-control. B. Willpower is like a type of energy. C. It can also help you manage your emotions. D. It takes willpower to resist the two temptations. E. If so, you’ll understand the power of self-control. F. Self-control is a superpower that can help you achieve goals. G. When this happens, exercising helps you give energy to the brain. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. C 20.

This could be going without things you want to buy now to save up for a future treat, or walking away from an argument in case you say something hurtful.(自我控制也被称为“意志力”，意味着为了长期的回报而做出短期的牺牲。这可以是不买你现在想买的东西，为将来的享受攒钱，或者在争吵中走开，以防你说了伤人的话)”以及后文“It can be low at times like when you’re tired, hungry or stressed. However, there are ways to top it up.(当你累了、饿了或压力大的时候，它可能会很低。然而，有一些方法可以补充)”可知，上文提到了意志力的作用，后文提到了意志力很低的情况，说明本句是在说明意志力具有的特点。故B选项“意志力就像一种能量”符合语境，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Doing music practice every day means you get better at playing an instrument. Getting up early for sports training will improve your skills and help your team. Willpower helps build healthy habits, like staying away from screens before bed so you get better sleep.(每天做音乐练习意味着你在演奏乐器方面做得更好。早起进行运动训练可以提高你的技能，帮助你的球队。意志力有助于养成健康的习惯，比如睡前远离屏幕，这样你就能睡得更好)”可知，后文提到了意志力有助于养成健康的习惯，即实现目标方面的作用。故F选项“自我控制是一种超能力，可以帮助你实现目标”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It gives you the power to make decisions based on what is best for you, not because you’re trying to fit in with others. There are lots of studies that show good self-control can help make us happier and healthier.(它让你有能力做出最适合自己的决定，而不是因为你试图与他人合得来。有很多研究表明，良好的自我控制可以帮助我们更快乐、更健康)”可知，后文提到了意志力可以帮助我们更快乐、更健康，即对情绪有控制能力。故C选项“它还能帮助你控制情绪”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文““It doesn’t always feel like it, but we all have willpower,” says scientist Eric Schulze. He explains that it’s like a muscle because the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. A good way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. Focus on small goals so you don’t use up all the energy in one go. “As the day wears on that willpower muscle shrinks (萎缩) and it’s harder to resist temptation (诱惑),” Schulze says.(科学家埃里克·舒尔茨说：“并不总是感觉如此，但我们都有意志力。”他解释说，这就像肌肉一样，因为你使用得越多，它就变得越强壮。加强自我控制的一个好方法是获得充足的睡眠和用健康的食物喂养你的大脑。专注于小目标，这样你就不会一次耗尽所有的能量。舒尔茨说：“随着时间的流逝，意志力肌肉会萎缩，更难抵抗诱惑。”)”以及后文“Do something that makes you laugh as a good mood can overpower a weak will.(做一些能让你开怀大笑的事情，因为好心情可以战胜脆弱的意志)”可知，上文提到了时间流逝意志力萎缩的情况，推测本句对此提出建议，故G选项“当这种情况发生时，锻炼可以帮助你给大脑提供能量”符合语境，故选G。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A heroic attempt of a man, Oscar Rivera, risking his life to save neighbors from a burning home is cheered by the whole community.

I was also very shy, and sensitive and I had very bad asthma (哮喘) and other health conditions that made me miss more school than I should have. As such, I was somewhat of an outsider, seen as the strange fat kid who got time off school. I wasn’t very popular and often laughed at. Most of the time, I hated school. I felt anxious about it sometimes. I just couldn’t seem to fit in and it always seemed to be an unfriendly environment. But then, thankfully, some things started to change. I’d just started my General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSEs). These were the serious years in school and there seemed to be a change in the atmosphere. People wanted to work together and were more comfortable being themselves, which was also true for me. I found myself enjoying the subjects of history and science in particular and could even make jokes with classmates. People were making more of an effort to include me. I was making more of an effort too — making sure my health didn’t hold me back and trying not to be shy and engage and laugh things off. Then a big event was coming up: the school talent show. I wouldn’t have dared to take part in such a public thing before, but a few kids in school were encouraging me to take part. Rey, a kind girl in my science class said, “Hey, why don’t we sing a duet (二重唱) together?”I couldn’t believe I was even thinking about it but I had the perfect song in mind. It was Tom Jones’s hit — Burning Down the House. This fun song was perfect and it would be funny, because House, is my family name. I mentioned it to Rey and she said, “OK, we’re doing it!” Well, I was in for it now. This would either help my popularity or it would be the most embarrassing experience of my life. 注意： (1)续写词数应为120左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Rey and I had practiced a lot and finally, the big day came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our performance, positive comments poured in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Rey and I had practiced a lot and finally, the big day came. As the big day approached, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. I knew that this was my chance to break out of my shell and show everyone that I was more than just the fat kid who missed a lot of school. Finally, the day of the school talent show arrived, and with Rey by my side, I stepped onto the stage, ready to give it my all. The energy in the room was electric, and I could feel my confidence growing with every passing moment. When our performance ended, the positive comments started pouring in from all sides. After our performance, positive comments poured in. People I had never even talked to before were complimenting me on my singing and telling me how much they enjoyed our duet. It was an incredible feeling to be finally accepted and appreciated by my peers. The talent show had been a turning point for me, and I knew that I had taken a big step towards becoming the person I always wanted to be. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是学校里最胖的孩子，害羞敏感。为了证明自己，作者参加了学校的才艺表演。在和女孩雷伊的共同努力下，作者在舞台上完成了演出，得到了同学的认可和赞美。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“雷伊和我练习了很多，终于，重要的一天来了”可知，第一段可描写作者和雷伊表演的经过以及观众的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，好评如潮”可知，第二段可描写演出成功，作者得到认可，变得自信了。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——紧张兴奋——完成演出——得到好评——赞美——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①临近：approach/around the corner ②结束：end/finish ③夸奖：compliment/praise 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②难以置信的：incredible/unbelievable 【点睛】[高分句型1] I knew that this was my chance to break out of my shell and show everyone that I was more than just the fat kid who missed a lot of school.

Our expert’s pick of the best choices will help you turn beach dreams into beach days. Steephill Cove This traditional fishing cove will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time, with its brightly painted beach huts and old fisherman’s cottages, lobster pots (捕虾篓) and cheery, colorful deck chairs. There is a beach cafe to the back of Steephill Cove, which serves hot and cold refreshments and food, and there are also restaurants serving locally caught seafood during the season. Sandwood Bay Located in the very north of Scotland, this beach is considered to be one of the most untouched in mainland Britain. Unreachable by car, the wild and wonderful beach is accessed by a popular and fairly flat 4-mile-long path from the nearest car park, which adds a sense of remoteness to this charming place. Nanjizal Beach Due to its more distant location, amazing Nanjizal Beach is usually very quiet, apart from those walkers who have made the hike on the coastal path from either Porthgwarra, Lands End or Sennen Cove. There are many caves to discover and the ruins of an old watermill, too. Bamburgh Beach At any time of year, Bamburgh Beach is one of the most dramatic in the UK, thanks to the impressive castle located on a nearby hill that overlooks the skyline. Bamburgh also has some of the best waves in the UK, which makes it perfect for body boarders. Even if that’s not your thing, simply watching from the shore can be a thrilling experience. 1. What is special about Steephill Cove? A. It showcases its original charm. B. It has modern buildings. C. It allows visitors to catch seafood. D. It is home to different cafes. 2. How can visitors get to Sandwood Bay? A. By car. B. On foot. C. By plane. D. By ship. 3. Which of the following favors the surfers? A. Steephill Cove. B. Sandwood Bay. C. Nanjizal Beach. D. Bamburgh Beach. B After overcoming a severe stroke (中风) at just 22 months old, a young woman is taking to the Internet to show people how she lives with only one working hand and inspire other stroke and injury survivors to become more independent. Chiara Beer, 27, who lives in Winchester, suffered a stroke as a baby which left her with lasting effects and a lifelong disability. She now lives with right-sided hemiplegia (偏瘫) — a condition that results in weakness and lack of movement in one side of the body. Growing up with this disability, as she got older, Chiara realized there was a huge lack of resources and information for young stroke survivors on the Internet and it was unable to find anyone else who was experiencing the similar things on her, so she decided to start sharing some relevant content on social media. The determined 27-year-old began posting videos, sharing more about her own story of stroke survival and showing her followers various aspects of her day-to-day life, living with only one working arm, for example, how she drives using a specially adapted car and how technology helps her to read and write, other things like tying her hair with one hand, doing up the button on her jeans or applying her make-up. She received a huge outpouring of love and support from her viewers, including messages of love from other stroke survivors and people who suffer from other similar disabilities, thanking her for showing them some hacks and tricks on how to become a little more independent. Chiara admitted that she loves knowing that she is able to offer support to other young stroke survivors, saying, “It makes me feel happy that I can help so many people.” She added, “I want to help raise awareness about young people having strokes and also I want to help young people to find a way to be able to be independent. As for me, this has always been my main goal: to be independent.” 4. What is the after-effect of Chiara’s stroke? A. Unable to drive a car. B. Unable to use his hands. C. Unable to move his body freely. D. Unable to communicate with others. 5. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The disabled are willing to share their life skills. B. Stroke survivors face many challenges in their daily life. C. There was much information about stroke treatment online. D. Young stroke survivors had little guidance to turn to online. 6. Why were other stroke survivors grateful to Chiara? A. Her story led them to have faith in life. B. She taught them to cure their disabilities. C. Her experience inspired them to live on their own. D. She served as a role model for them to live ambitiously. 7. What can we learn from Chiara’s story? A. Roses given, fragrance in hand. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C Emergency Mask Pod (面罩舱) is a plastic, 3D-printed and football-shaped case that contains a mask that protects the lungs of someone trapped in a fire until they were rescued. Alexis got the idea for the Emergency Mask Pod after hearing that a mother had thrown her baby out of the second floor window of their smoke-filled apartment during a fire in the building. The family was trapped in their apartment by the smoke. Alexis wondered whether there was a means for people waiting outside such as neighbors and first responders, to deliver smoke masks to people trapped in the second floors of burning buildings. Her research showed that there was no such delivery system, so Alexis set about to invent one. First, she found a small, lightweight smoke mask. The next step was to develop a way to launch or throw the mask up into an open second-story window. Alexis built several different pods, which were tested by local firefighters. Each pod was cast into a second story window more than 290 times by a total of 37 firefighters. The football-shaped pod, which Alexis printed on her MakerBot 3D printer, was the clear winner, with an accuracy rate of over 70 percent. The firefighters testing the Emergency Mask Pod told her that it is needed by firefighters arriving at the scene of a fire. They told Alexis that when they find people trapped inside, they wish they could give them some form of relief so they can breathe safely while firefighters try to reach them. A smoke delivery system could be used to provide that relief. The Emergency Mask Pod requires no special equipment, training, or permits; people at the scene of a fire could help fire victims (受害者) trapped inside smoky rooms without hesitation. EMTs, police officers, and firefighters could keep the mask and EM Pod in their vehicles and apartment complexes could store them in approachable places like community centers. The mask could easily be retrieved by victims and put on, giving them precious time for firefighters to rescue them and potentially saving hundreds or thousands of lives. 8. Why is the Emergency Mask Pod invented? A. To improve the design of smoke masks. B. To provide a way to deliver smoke masks. C. To help firefighters practice throwing skills. D. To protect first responders’ eyes from smoke. 9. How did Alexis test the effectiveness of different pods? A. By burning them in the local fire departments. B. By studying different materials for making pods. C. By doing a survey of people trapped in a fire before. D. By having firefighters throw them into windows many times. 10. Which word is closest in meaning to “retrieved” in the last paragraph? A. Returned. B. Accessed. C. Relieved. D. Launched. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Surviving the Flame: New Rescue Skills B. Smoke and Masks: The Future of Fire Safety C. A Lifeline through the Smoke: The Mask Pod D. Breaking through Barriers: Firefighters’ Creations D Whale conservationist Ted Cheeseman admits that the huge animals don’t patiently pose for photos. To help people feel a closer connect ion to each whale, Mr Cheeseman’s research company, Happy Whale, allows users to upload their photos onto its website. Happy Whale’s artificial intelligence (AI) software will then quickly search through its database of more than 70,000 different whales with the aim of telling you the exact animal that you were looking at. It can tell you the whale’s name, if it has already been given one, or invite you to choose one. And if the whale is one that has been previously recorded it will show you a map of everywhere that it has been sighted. The Al works by using adapted human facial recognition software to identify each whale’s uniquely shaped, colored or marked tail. Oregon-based Happy Whale uses all the data it gets from uploaded photos to help it track whale numbers and movements. It is an example of a growing trend-conservation groups attempting to use Al to enable members of the public to identify animals or birds. And in return the organizations get a host of crowdsourced data. The Merlin Bird ID app allows users to find out what species of bird they are looking at or hearing. Merlin Bird users are encouraged to enter their location, and the size, color and behavior of the bird. This data is then added to the Macaulay Library, and scientists can use it to help them map bird populations, ranges and migratory patterns, and understand how they have changed. “Bird populations have been declining all over the world, but in the last 50 years, we’ve lost three billion birds in the US and Canada alone,” adds Ms Smith. “This is the first time we’ve been able to show this in real time.” “I believe any resource that helps birdwatchers learn more is positive, because that knowledge and enjoyment spark interest in conservation,” Wayne Klockner says. “People protect what they love and care about. If the application of AI contributes to that, birds will likely be better off.” 12. What can Happy Whale’s AI provide for its users? A. The growth rate of whales. B. The distribution map of whales. C. The average time a whale rises to the surface. D. The related information about the specific whale. 13. What does the author think of Happy Whale’s attempt? A. A win-win cooperation. B. A double-edged weapon. C. A safe bet. D. An attempt in the air. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The location of billions of birds. B.

This could be going without things you want to buy now to save up for a future treat, or walking away from an argument in case you say something hurtful. ____17____ It can be low at times like when you’re tired, hungry or stressed. However, there are ways to top it up. ____18____ Doing music practice every day means you get better at playing an instrument. Getting up early for sports training will improve your skills and help your team. Willpower helps build healthy habits, like staying away from screens before bed so you get better sleep. ____19____ It gives you the power to make decisions based on what is best for you, not because you’re trying to fit in with others. There are lots of studies that show good self-control can help make us happier and healthier. “It doesn’t always feel like it, but we all have willpower,” says scientist Eric Schulze. He explains that it’s like a muscle because the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. A good way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. Focus on small goals so you don’t use up all the energy in one go. “As the day wears on that willpower muscle shrinks (萎缩) and it’s harder to resist temptation (诱惑),” Schulze says. ____20____ Do something that makes you laugh as a good mood can overpower a weak will. A. Success comes from self-control. B. Willpower is like a type of energy. C. It can also help you manage your emotions. D. It takes willpower to resist the two temptations. E. If so, you’ll understand the power of self-control. F. Self-control is a superpower that can help you achieve goals. G. When this happens, exercising helps you give energy to the brain. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A heroic attempt of a man, Oscar Rivera, risking his life to save neighbors from a burning home is cheered by the whole community.

I was also very shy, and sensitive and I had very bad asthma (哮喘) and other health conditions that made me miss more school than I should have. As such, I was somewhat of an outsider, seen as the strange fat kid who got time off school. I wasn’t very popular and often laughed at. Most of the time, I hated school. I felt anxious about it sometimes. I just couldn’t seem to fit in and it always seemed to be an unfriendly environment. But then, thankfully, some things started to change. I’d just started my General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSEs). These were the serious years in school and there seemed to be a change in the atmosphere. People wanted to work together and were more comfortable being themselves, which was also true for me. I found myself enjoying the subjects of history and science in particular and could even make jokes with classmates. People were making more of an effort to include me. I was making more of an effort too — making sure my health didn’t hold me back and trying not to be shy and engage and laugh things off. Then a big event was coming up: the school talent show. I wouldn’t have dared to take part in such a public thing before, but a few kids in school were encouraging me to take part. Rey, a kind girl in my science class said, “Hey, why don’t we sing a duet (二重唱) together?”I couldn’t believe I was even thinking about it but I had the perfect song in mind. It was Tom Jones’s hit — Burning Down the House. This fun song was perfect and it would be funny, because House, is my family name. I mentioned it to Rey and she said, “OK, we’re doing it!” Well, I was in for it now. This would either help my popularity or it would be the most embarrassing experience of my life. 注意： (1)续写词数应为120左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Rey and I had practiced a lot and finally, the big day came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After our performance, positive comments poured in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
