So why not choose some of the following opportunities to volunteer? Volunteer Match: While some young adults are satisfied with giving money and then tracking where that money goes, others want a much more personal experience in giving back. Volunteer Match makes it easy to find local, hands- on opportunities that suit their lives and specific skills or interests. Whether it’s working with little children or planting a garden, there are many ways of giving back available on Volunteer· Match. Watsi: Founded by Chase Adams after a bus ride in Costa Rica when he was in the Peace Corps that opened his eyes to the needs of those who are poor and sick, Watsi is a digitally health- focused nonprofit. It offers real- time tracking of where donated money goes. Pencils of Promise: Using social media to reach out to possible donors, Pencils of Promise encourages their benefactors (捐助人) to connect with others to increase giving and help to build schools, provide supplies and train teachers in Ghana! Guatemala, Laos, and, Nigeria. All money donated online goes directly to programs to educate more young people. Water is Life: Water is Life is devoted to providing solutions in villages and communities that are in great need of clean drinking water. Opportunities to go to many countries and help build facilities to treat water are available. It’s also devoted to educating children and adults about the dangers of unclean water, thus encouraging them to protect water. 21. What can volunteers do on Volunteer Match? A. Build schools. B. Train teachers. C Make use of their special skills. D. Track their donated money. 22. Which of the following puts all of its money into education? A. Volunteer Match. B. Watsi. C. Pencils of Promise. D. Water is Life. 23. How can volunteers benefit from Water is Life? A. By being well educated. B. By travelling abroad. C. By having clean water to drink. D. By knowing where your money goes. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种不同的志愿服务机会，包括Volunteer Match、Watsi、Pencils of Promise和Water is Life。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Volunteer Match部分的“Volunteer Match makes it easy to find local, hands- on opportunities that suit their lives and specific skills or interests.(Volunteer Match让人们很容易找到适合他们生活和特定技能或兴趣的当地、亲身的志愿服务机会。)”可知，志愿者可以在Volunteer Match上利用他们的特殊技能进行志愿服务。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Using social media to reach out to possible donors, Pencils of Promise encourages their benefactors (捐助人) to connect with others to increase giving and help to build schools, provide supplies and train teachers in Ghana! Guatemala, Laos, and, Nigeria. All money donated online goes directly to programs to educate more young people.(Pencils of Promise利用社交媒体联系潜在的捐赠者，鼓励他们的捐助人与其他人建立联系，以增加捐赠，并帮助在加纳、危地马拉、老挝和尼日利亚等国家建立学校、提供物资和培训教师。所有在线捐赠的资金都直接用于教育更多年轻人的项目。)”可知，Pencils of Promise将所有的钱都投入到了教育领域。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Water is Life is devoted to providing solutions in villages and communities that are in great need of clean drinking water. Opportunities to go to many countries and help build facilities to treat water are available. (Water is Life致力于在急需清洁饮用水的村庄和社区提供解决方案。有机会前往许多国家，帮助建设水处理设施。)”可知，在Water is Life这个组织中，志愿者有机会前往许多国家，帮助建设水处理设施，同时也可以进行国际旅行。因此，志愿者可以从Water is Life中受益，通过旅行来体验不同的文化和环境。故选B。 B I found a special app on my cellphone after I turned 15 and I fell in love with it immediately. The app is a social media platform where people share snippets (片段) of their lives and content they consider worth sharing, and it’s also a space to communicate with others. While all those are obviously great things, it comes with many negative aspects. Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction. The Internet is overflowing with con tent and our “Far You” page is an unending supplier of it. What I’ve come to learn through my own experience is that after some time we become so used to scrolling that it becomes a reflex action (反射动作) for us to do so whenever we’re bored. Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. I wasn’t feeling motivated enough to get myself out of the bad cycle I’d fallen into. Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app. Now I can concentrate on reading and writing again. I’m glad I’ve made the right decision. I know many young people are struggling now just like I used to. If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too. 24. What does the author think is the biggest problem of using the app? A. Being addicted to scrolling. B. Sharing too much about one’s life. C. Making one get bored easily. D. Having’ difficulty in finding good content. 25. How did the app influence the author? A. She became more creative. B. She became interested, in online stories. C. She developed some new hobbies. D. She couldn’t focus on reading and writing. 26. What do we know about the author’s quitting the app? A. She failed many times. B. She succeeded gradually. C. She managed it overnight. D. She got help from her parents. 27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell her story of using social media. B. To show how she began to write again. C. To show social media is a double edged sword. D. To warn young people not to be addicted to social media. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者沉迷手机社交软件，影响生活和创造力，后决心戒除并呼吁年轻人做出改变。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction.(问题清单上的第一个是滚屏上瘾。)”可知，作者认为使用这个应用程序的最大问题是滚屏成瘾。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. (在我使用这个应用程序之前，我真的很喜欢写作和读书。然而，在我使用它之后，一切都变了。我唯一想做的就是玩手机。滚屏只会让我感到疲倦和懒惰，我的创造力就会丧失。)”可知，这个应用程序使作者无法专注于阅读和写作。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app.(最后，我意识到我被困住了。我知道我需要摆脱它。但这不是一夜之间发生的。我花了几周时间才最终停止使用这款应用。)”可知，作者是逐渐成功戒掉这个应用程序的。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too.(如果你认为使用社交媒体平台对你的生活有负面影响，那就采取行动戒掉它。我已经做到了。你也可以做到。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是警告年轻人不要沉迷于社交媒体。故选D。 C Study abroad programs offer an educational and rewarding experience for students. Travelling to another country is one way to fully understand that country’s culture. Visiting other countries can give students a greater appreciation of different ways of life and expand their education beyond the typical college setting. For example, a student studying a foreign language might want to spend time in a country where that language is widely used not only for the language benefits but for the customs that go with the language. Or, a student studying the culinary (烹饪) arts might find visiting other countries and learning about their foods and styles to be very useful. Study abroad programs are offered in every career path. The different perspectives (思维方式) that students can gain after studying in a different country can open many doors for their future. My own experiences in Europe have taught me to appreciate different cultures. I have a growing admiration for other nations after having visited them. All college students should experience another culture at least once in their lives. While study abroad programs are becoming very popular, there is one big negative thing. Travel, housing and personal expenses aren’t cheap. If the cost of living elsewhere for a while could be lowered, or if all students could get help paying for the trip, study- abroad programs could be the perfect experience. If students want to expand their education or simply want to experience life in a completely different way, the money spent is well worth it. And although travelling abroad takes time away from family and friends at home, students can acquire new friends and relationships abroad. To conclude, study abroad programs can be costly but can greatly benefit students. 28. Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show the benefits of studying abroad. B. To encourage people to live abroad. C. To prove different ways of learning cultures. D. To show the importance of studying a language. 29. What can we learn about the author? A. She is a college student now. B. She appreçiates other cultures. C. She was born in a European country. D. She visited few countries as a student. 30. What is the author’s opinion on studying abroad? A. It’s worrying. B. It’s difficult. C. It’s expensive. D. It’s relaxing. 31. What’s the text mainly about? A. Benefits of travelling around the world. B. Ways of appreciating different cultures. C. Personal experiences of studying abroad. D. Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了留学项目虽成本高但能为学生带来诸多益处。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For example, a student studying a foreign language might want to spend time in a country where that language is widely used not only for the language benefits but for the customs that go with the language.(例如，一个学习一门外语的学生可能想在一个语言被广泛使用的国家呆上一段时间，不仅是为了语言的好处，而且是为了语言的习俗)”可推知，第二段中的例子是为了展示出国留学的好处。故选A项。 29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My own experiences in Europe have taught me to appreciate different cultures.(我在欧洲的经历教会了我欣赏不同的文化)”可知，作者对其他文化表示赞赏。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“While study abroad programs are becoming very popular, there is one big negative thing. Travel, housing and personal expenses aren’t cheap.(虽然出国留学项目变得非常受欢迎，但有一个很大的负面因素。旅行、住房和个人开支都不便宜)”可推知，作者认为出国留学是昂贵的。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。结合第一段“Study abroad programs offer an educational and rewarding experience for students.(留学项目为学生提供了一种教育和有益的经历)”和最后一段“To conclude, study abroad programs can be costly but can greatly benefit students.(总之，出国留学项目可能会很昂贵，但对学生有很大的好处)”并通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了出国留学的优缺点。故选D项。 D Watching an ocean wave running against the coast is beyond magical. But there is one type of wave — the cross sea wave — that is beyond anything you may have ever experienced. Although still attractive, cross sea waves are dangerous and have been responsible for many ship accidents. Before we get into the physics of cross sea waves, let’s get to know how ocean waves are generated. The wind is mostly responsible for the creation of ocean waves. As the wind blows, it moves energy to the surface of the water, creating a constant disturbance (干扰) that results in a wave crest (波峰) . Waves generally run parallel (平行地) to the shore, but a cross sea wave is different. It’s created when the wind from two weather systems — one old, the other new — runs against each other. Cross sea waves generally occur along coastal areas, and they are rare. Yet, there is one place along the west coast of France, where cross sea waves occur quite often. Because of the geology (地质状况) of the Isle of Rhé, it’s perfectly situated for their creation. The sight of the waves brings thousands of tourists to the island’s lighthouse each year. When a cross sea wave blows, it will be difficult for boaters to control their ships or boats, as well as swimmers. Part of the reason why cross sea waves are so dangerous is that they generate powerful waves, which can reach nearly 10 feet (3 meters) high, more than enough to turn over a large boat. Cross sea waves are usually found in shallow waters, such as those off the Isle of Rhé, and Tel Aviv, Israel. Since it is so exciting to watch the cross sea waves, these places attract millions of visitors each year, making them famous tourist destinations on Earth. 32. What caused many ship accidents? A. Cross sea waves. B. Ocean waves. C. Wave crests. D. Wind systems. 33. What does the underlined word “generated” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Changed. B. Increased. C. Produced. D. Challenged. 34. Why are cross sea waves often seen on the Isle of Rhé? A. Because of the powerful ocean waves. B. Because of different wind systems. C. Because of the powerful wave crests. D. Because of its special geological situation. 35. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The creation of cross sea waves. B. The danger of cross sea waves. C. The sight of cross sea waves. D. The height of cross sea waves. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了罕见的交叉海浪，由两股不同方向的风形成，常出现在沿海地带，高度可达3米，对航行和游泳构成危险，但因其壮观景象成为旅游热点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段中的“Although still attractive, cross sea waves are dangerous and have been responsible for many ship accidents. (尽管仍然具有吸引力，但交叉波浪是危险的，并导致了许多船舶事故。)”可知，许多船只事故是由交叉海浪引起的。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“The wind is mostly responsible for the creation of ocean waves. (风是造成海浪的主要原因。)”可知，此处介绍海浪形成的原因，划线单词的词义为“产生；形成”，C项Produce，意为“生产；引起”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段中的“Because of the geology (地质状况) of the Isle of Rhé, it’s perfectly situated for their creation.   (由于Rhé岛的地质条件，它非常适合交叉海浪的产生。)”可知，交叉海浪在Rhé岛上经常出现是因为其特殊的地质状况。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段中的“When a cross sea wave blows, it will be difficult for boaters to control their ships or boats, as well as swimmers. (当交叉波浪袭来时，船夫很难控制他们的船只或游艇，游泳者也是如此。)”可知，第四段主要讲述的是交叉海浪的危险性。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to build self- discipline (自律) in students Set clear goals We have to keep in mind where we want to go and what we want to finish: If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the wind. Then show these goals where you will see them every day. ___36___ So I made a plan each day and ran 15 miles a week. Every day, I looked at those goals and made sure I had achieved them. Stay positive ___37___, instead of getting discouraged just take notes about it and challenge yourself not to let it happen again. Think positive and use your mistakes to your advantage! A positive mind and attitude can go a long way towards your success as a student. Do the small things We all want big changes to happen quickly ___38___ Self-discipline starts by performing small and ordinary activities consistently. Every small act of faithfulness makes your self- discipline stronger. ___39___ No one likes to sleep in more than I do. I am entirely a night owl (夜猫子). However, when I’m in the habit of getting up early, I am much more disciplined and productive. Getting up early doesn’t give us the ability to create miracles, but it does help us start our day’s work in a focused way. Apart from the above tips, keeping track of your progress is also important. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going. ___40___ A. Get up early. B. And when I breathe deeply. C. I ended up in bed for six weeks. D. It usually doesn’t happen that way. E. Several years ago, I wanted to lose 20 pounds. F. If you feel you are losing control of your actions G. Keeping track helps you stay in the right direction. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. D 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何培养学生自律能力。 【36题详解】 根据上文“We have to keep in mind where we want to go and what we want to finish: If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the wind.(我们要明确我们的目标和想要完成的事情，如果我们不设定明确的目标，我们就会像风中的羽毛一样漂泊不定)”和下文“So I made a plan each day and ran 15 miles a week.(所以我每天制定计划，每周跑15英里。)”可知，这空处需要填入一个与设定明确目标并坚持执行相关的例子。选项E：Several years ago, I wanted to lose 20 pounds(几年前，我想减掉20磅)正好符合这一语境，因为它提供了一个明确的目标（减掉20磅），并暗示了后续的行动计划。故选E。 【37题详解】 本段小标题为Stay positive(保持积极态度)，根据下文“instead of getting discouraged just take notes about it and challenge yourself not to let it happen again.(与其灰心丧气，不如记录下来，并挑战自己不要再让它发生)”可知，空处需要填入一个与面对困难或失败时的态度相关的句子。选项F：If you feel you are losing control of your actions(如果你觉得你正在失去对你行动的控制。)正好符合这一语境，因为它为后文的积极应对态度提供了前提。故选F。 【38题详解】 本段小标题为Do the small things(做小事)，上文提到“We all want big changes to happen quickly.(我们都希望大的改变能迅速发生。)”但根据后文“Self-discipline starts by performing small and ordinary activities consistently.(自律始于持续不断地执行小而普通的活动。)”可知，空处需要填入一个与“大的改变不会迅速发生”相关的句子。选项D：It usually doesn’t happen that way.(通常情况并不是这样的。)正好符合这一语境，它否定了前文中的“大的改变能迅速发生”的期望。故选D。 【39题详解】 此空是一个小标题，需要概括接下来段落的主要内容。根据后文“No one likes to sleep in more than I do. I am entirely a night owl (夜猫子) . However, when I’m in the habit of getting up early, I am much more disciplined and productive.(没有人比我更喜欢赖床了。我完全是夜猫子型的人。然而，当我养成早起的习惯时，我就变得更加自律和高效。)”可以推断这一空需要填入一个与“早起”相关的标题。选项A：Get up early.(早起。)正好符合这一要求。故选A。 【40题详解】 此空位于文章末尾，是对前文内容的总结和补充。前文提到“Apart from the above tips, keeping track of your progress is also important. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going.

While we were skiing, at some point we got totally separated from the group, along with a couple of friends. We were racing down the hill when we saw a forest trail. I stopped and asked our teacher, “Is it OK if we take this trail?” “Sure,” she replied. “Just meet us at the bottom of the slope (斜坡).” “OK,” I said. So, Bennet, a couple of our other friends and I started going down the trail. There were quite a few forks (岔口) in the trail. Bennet fell down at one of them. The trail and fork he chose were too thin for anyone to stop and help him, though, So, everyone but me chose to go around him and expected him to catch up. He got up and skied down agạin. Soon he caught up with me. “Let’s stop here for a while,” I shouted. “OK,” replied Bennet. We then both stopped and looked around. To our surprise, we found we were alone there. The others had already skied down a trail and we didn’t know which one they had taken. Since it was snowing, we couldn’t see the tracks, and my phone didn’t have a sign al this high up. I couldn’t send someone an online message, either. We stayed calm. Finally, after a bit of exploring, we found an exit. But it turned out we were on the wrong side of the mountain. We went down to Golden Nugget, our favorite slope, since it had many ups and downs that allowed us to find a map. Once we found one, I asked Bennet, “Bennet, are you hungry?” He replied, “Ani, we’ve been in freezing snow at the top of the mountain without our teacher for about 15 to 20 minutes, so yes I’m hungry!” Luckily, I had a couple of brownies in my jacket, so we took a snack break. 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: After eating some food, we felt better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When we finally got to that slope, we saw the others waiting for us at the bottom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】After eating some food, we felt better. Then I knew we should try to find the others. “Our teacher asked us to meet at the bottom of the slope. We should go there.” I said to Bennet. “You’re right. They may be waiting for us there now.” Bennet replied. We looked at the map that we had found. After studying the map for a while, we found out how to get there. So we skied over the side to get to the slope. When we finally got to that slope, we saw the others waiting for us at the bottom. Bennet and I became very excited. We happily skied down. The others were excited to see us, too. They asked us what had happened to us and we told them. Then we were asked if we were scared. We both shook our heads. We told them we were not scared because Bennet and I had each other. Besides, we knew it’s important to stay calm when we get lost in the wild. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索，讲述了作者和好友Bennet以及其他朋友在滑雪时意外与团队走散，并经历了一段小冒险的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“吃完一些食物后，我们感觉好多了。”可知，第一段可描写在吃了一些食物后，作者和Bennet感觉好多了，并决定按照地图与他们的团队会合。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们终于到达那个斜坡时，我们看到其他人在底部等着我们。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Bennet告诉大家他们的经历以及感悟。 2.续写线索：商量对策——找到去斜坡底部的路——找到团队——感到高兴——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 尝试做某事：try to do sth/attempt to do sth 发现：find/discover 发生：happen/take place 情绪类 兴奋的：excited/thrilled 冷静的：calm/dispassionate 害怕的：scared/frightened 【点睛】[高分句型1]They asked us what had happened to us and we told them.（运用了what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2]Besides, we knew it’s important to stay calm when we get lost in the wild.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024秋季亲情学校高二年级开学考试卷 英 语 注意事项： 1. 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is Jack trying to do?

So why not choose some of the following opportunities to volunteer? Volunteer Match: While some young adults are satisfied with giving money and then tracking where that money goes, others want a much more personal experience in giving back. Volunteer Match makes it easy to find local, hands- on opportunities that suit their lives and specific skills or interests. Whether it’s working with little children or planting a garden, there are many ways of giving back available on Volunteer· Match. Watsi: Founded by Chase Adams after a bus ride in Costa Rica when he was in the Peace Corps that opened his eyes to the needs of those who are poor and sick, Watsi is a digitally health- focused nonprofit. It offers real- time tracking of where donated money goes. Pencils of Promise: Using social media to reach out to possible donors, Pencils of Promise encourages their benefactors (捐助人) to connect with others to increase giving and help to build schools, provide supplies and train teachers in Ghana! Guatemala, Laos, and, Nigeria. All money donated online goes directly to programs to educate more young people. Water is Life: Water is Life is devoted to providing solutions in villages and communities that are in great need of clean drinking water. Opportunities to go to many countries and help build facilities to treat water are available. It’s also devoted to educating children and adults about the dangers of unclean water, thus encouraging them to protect water. 21. What can volunteers do on Volunteer Match? A. Build schools. B. Train teachers. C. Make use of their special skills. D. Track their donated money. 22. Which of the following puts all of its money into education? A. Volunteer Match. B. Watsi. C.

By knowing where your money goes. B I found a special app on my cellphone after I turned 15 and I fell in love with it immediately. The app is a social media platform where people share snippets (片段) of their lives and content they consider worth sharing, and it’s also a space to communicate with others. While all those are obviously great things, it comes with many negative aspects. Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction. The Internet is overflowing with con tent and our “Far You” page is an unending supplier of it. What I’ve come to learn through my own experience is that after some time we become so used to scrolling that it becomes a reflex action (反射动作) for us to do so whenever we’re bored. Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. I wasn’t feeling motivated enough to get myself out of the bad cycle I’d fallen into. Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app. Now I can concentrate on reading and writing again. I’m glad I’ve made the right decision. I know many young people are struggling now just like I used to. If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too. 24. What does the author think is the biggest problem of using the app? A. Being addicted to scrolling. B. Sharing too much about one’s life. C. Making one get bored easily. D. Having’ difficulty in finding good content. 25. How did the app influence the author? A. She became more creative. B. She became interested, in online stories. C. She developed some new hobbies. D. She couldn’t focus on reading and writing. 26. What do we know about the author’s quitting the app? A. She failed many times. B. She succeeded gradually. C. She managed it overnight. D. She got help from her parents. 27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell her story of using social media. B. To show how she began to write again. C. To show social media is a double edged sword. D. To warn young people not to be addicted to social media. C Study abroad programs offer an educational and rewarding experience for students. Travelling to another country is one way to fully understand that country’s culture. Visiting other countries can give students a greater appreciation of different ways of life and expand their education beyond the typical college setting. For example, a student studying a foreign language might want to spend time in a country where that language is widely used not only for the language benefits but for the customs that go with the language. Or, a student studying the culinary (烹饪的) arts might find visiting other countries and learning about their foods and styles to be very useful. Study abroad programs are offered in every career path. The different perspectives (思维方式) that students can gain after studying in a different country can open many doors for their future. My own experiences in Europe have taught me to appreciate different cultures. I have a growing admiration for other nations after having visited them. All college students should experience another culture at least once in their lives. While study abroad programs are becoming very popular, there is one big negative thing. Travel, housing and personal expenses aren’t cheap. If the cost of living elsewhere for a while could be lowered, or if all students could get help paying for the trip, study- abroad programs could be the perfect experience. If students want to expand their education or simply want to experience life in a completely different way, the money spent is well worth it. And although travelling abroad takes time away from family and friends at home, students can acquire new friends and relationships abroad. To conclude, study abroad programs can be costly but can greatly benefit students. 28. Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show the benefits of studying abroad. B.

But there is one type of wave — the cross sea wave — that is beyond anything you may have ever experienced. Although still attractive, cross sea waves are dangerous and have been responsible for many ship accidents. Before we get into the physics of cross sea waves, let’s get to know how ocean waves are generated. The wind is mostly responsible for the creation of ocean waves. As the wind blows, it moves energy to the surface of the water, creating a constant disturbance (干扰) that results in a wave crest (波峰) . Waves generally run parallel (平行地) to the shore, but a cross sea wave is different. It’s created when the wind from two weather systems — one old, the other new — runs against each other. Cross sea waves generally occur along coastal areas, and they are rare. Yet, there is one place along the west coast of France, where cross sea waves occur quite often. Because of the geology (地质状况) of the Isle of Rhé, it’s perfectly situated for their creation. The sight of the waves brings thousands of tourists to the island’s lighthouse each year. When a cross sea wave blows, it will be difficult for boaters to control their ships or boats, as well as swimmers. Part of the reason why cross sea waves are so dangerous is that they generate powerful waves, which can reach nearly 10 feet (3 meters) high, more than enough to turn over a large boat. Cross sea waves are usually found in shallow waters, such as those off the Isle of Rhé, and Tel Aviv, Israel. Since it is so exciting to watch the cross sea waves, these places attract millions of visitors each year, making them famous tourist destinations on Earth. 32. What caused many ship accidents? A. Cross sea waves. B. Ocean waves. C. Wave crests. D. Wind systems. 33. What does the underlined word “generated” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Changed. B. Increased. C. Produced. D. Challenged. 34. Why are cross sea waves often seen on the Isle of Rhé? A. Because of the powerful ocean waves. B. Because of different wind systems. C. Because of the powerful wave crests. D. Because of its special geological situation. 35. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The creation of cross sea waves. B. The danger of cross sea waves. C The sight of cross sea waves. D. The height of cross sea waves. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to build self- discipline (自律) in students Set clear goals We have to keep in mind where we want to go and what we want to finish: If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the wind.

While we were skiing, at some point we got totally separated from the group, along with a couple of friends. We were racing down the hill when we saw a forest trail. I stopped and asked our teacher, “Is it OK if we take this trail?” “Sure,” she replied. “Just meet us at the bottom of the slope (斜坡).” “OK,” I said. So, Bennet, a couple of our other friends and I started going down the trail. There were quite a few forks (岔口) in the trail. Bennet fell down at one of them. The trail and fork he chose were too thin for anyone to stop and help him, though, So, everyone but me chose to go around him and expected him to catch up. He got up and skied down agạin. Soon he caught up with me. “Let’s stop here for a while,” I shouted. “OK,” replied Bennet. We then both stopped and looked around. To our surprise, we found we were alone there. The others had already skied down a trail and we didn’t know which one they had taken. Since it was snowing, we couldn’t see the tracks, and my phone didn’t have a sign al this high up. I couldn’t send someone an online message, either. We stayed calm. Finally, after a bit of exploring, we found an exit. But it turned out we were on the wrong side of the mountain. We went down to Golden Nugget, our favorite slope, since it had many ups and downs that allowed us to find a map. Once we found one, I asked Bennet, “Bennet, are you hungry?” He replied, “Ani, we’ve been in freezing snow at the top of the mountain without our teacher for about 15 to 20 minutes, so yes I’m hungry!” Luckily, I had a couple of brownies in my jacket, so we took a snack break. 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: After eating some food, we felt better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When we finally got to that slope, we saw the others waiting for us at the bottom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
