The gardens themselves boast thousands of species of plants. This is a lovely place to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont: over 24 hectares If you want to get off the tourist trail and hang out with true Parisians, this park is the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic or a leisurely wander. It is in the 19th district and is one of the largest parks in Paris. Cross its lake on the suspension bridge, or admire the waterfalls and attractive temples. Jardin du Luxembourg: over 25 hectares These beautiful gardens were first laid out in 1612 as the gardens of the Luxembourg Palace. They include a geometric (结合图形的) forest, French and English style gardens, as well as a large pond.

The gardens are home to more than one hundred sculptures. Le Parc de la Villette: 55 hectares This urban cultural park is so much more than just a park as it is home to numerous music venues, exhibition spaces and cafes.

I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. He has been sharing season tickets with his friends for years. I must admit I’ve been always invited to see the games together. This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly. There was a reason for the joke. The last time I invited him to go to the opera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had to admit it was always boring for him, but when I gave him a ticket for my favorite opera, I really thought he might enjoy it. I woke him up, but soon he fell asleep again. When Larry found I was joking, he breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He said, “But I want you to go to see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I promised and complained, “Not again!” Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my telephone messages would be interrupted when the home team scored. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and exchanged high- fives and fist bumps. However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I decided to at least give it a try—for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself! I didn’t keep glancing at the clock, counting the minutes until we got out. Time flew. The game was over before I knew it. 24. Why does the author quote his conversation with Larry in paragraph 2? A. To show their common values. B. To show their sense of humour. C. To show the trust between them. D. To show the difference in their interests. 25. What was the author’s initial reaction to basketball games? A. Casual. B. Curious. C. Puzzled. D. Pleased. 26 What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean? A. Bored. B. Disappointed. C. Addicted. D. Satisfied. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Art and Sport B. From Opera to Basketball C. Cheering for the Home Team D. Developing a Passion for Opera 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了作者从喜欢戏剧到喜欢篮球的经历。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. (但我们的兴趣就像歌剧和篮球一样相去甚远。我热爱艺术，他是一个超级体育迷。)”可知，作者在第二段引用他与拉里的对话是为了呈现他们兴趣的差异。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. (大多数时候，当比赛开始时，我会发短信或做白日梦。)”可知，作者最初在看篮球比赛时经常玩手机，表现得很随意。故选A。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。划线单词下文讲到“My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself! (我哥哥看到我参与进来很惊讶。我自己都惊呆了！)”可知，划线单词所在句子的意思是：比赛很激烈，我很快就迷上了。因此最后一段中带下划线的单词hooked的意思是“上瘾的，着迷的”。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者从喜欢戏剧到喜欢篮球的经历。文章第一段讲到“but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. (但我们的兴趣就像歌剧和篮球一样相去甚远。我热爱艺术，他是一个超级体育迷。)”以及文章最后一段讲到“The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. (游戏很激烈，我很快就迷上了。)”说明了作者的转变，可知，文章的最佳标题是：从歌剧到篮球。故选B。 C English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. While all of these countries share the same mother tongue, there are some differences in the way they speak and write. The first difference is in the accent. Each country has its own accent. And within each country there are a variety of accents called regional accents. Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre. And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all. For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W.C.(water closet). But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is located). So which English is the best English to learn? Well, there is no best English. They are all equally good and correct. But two things may help you decide which one is best for you to study. First of all, where do you live? If you are from South America, for example, you will probably have more exposure (接触) to North American English. If you live in Europe, most likely you will be more exposed to British English. The second thing to think about is why you are learning English. Is it for business? Travel? To watch movies? Think about the kind of English you plan to use and focus on understanding people from that area. But no matter where you study English or whether it’s British, American, Australian, or whatever, it’s good to know a little about English in other countries. 28. what does the word “restroom” refer to for American people? A. A room for a rest. B. A place where the toilet is. C. A place for you to wash hands. D. A room where people can speak English. 29. In how many ways is English different from one country to another? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 30. According to the third paragraph, the author mainly focuses on ______. A. the reasons for learning English B. some advice on how to learn English C. some ways to learn different English accents D. explaining the importance of learning English 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. English around the world B. The best English to learn C. Many kinds of English D. Different countries 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了不同英语国家的英语语言存在不同之处以及学习英语时需要考虑的问题。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W.C.(water closet). But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is located).(例如，美国人说restroom，加拿大人说washroom，英国人说W.C.。但所有这些词都有相同的含义——厕所所在的房间。)”可知，对美国人来说，restroom指的是厕所所在的地方。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first difference is in the accent.(第一个不同之处在于口音。)”“Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre. And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all.(另一个不同之处是一些单词的拼写，比如color和colour，或者theater和theatre。第三个不同之处是有些单词根本不一样。)”可知，不同国家英语的不同之处在于口音、单词拼写、用词，总共三个方面。故选C。 【30题详解】 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“But two things may help you decide which one is best for you to study.(但有两件事可以帮助你决定哪一种语言最适合你学习。)”及下文内容可知，本段主要讲述了一些学习英语的建议。故选B。 【31题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，第一段“English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. While all of these countries share the same mother tongue, there are some differences in the way they speak and write.(英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、南非、加拿大和美国等多个国家将英语作为第一语言。虽然所有这些国家都有相同的母语，但在语言和写作方式上存在一些差异。)”指出世界上有许多国家以英语为母语，但不同国家的英语有所不同；第二段具体介绍了三种不同之处；第三段讲述了如何选择最适合学习的英语；最后一段“But no matter where you study English or whether it’s British, American, Australian, or whatever, it’s good to know a little about English in other countries.(但无论你在哪里学习英语，或者无论你学的是英式英语、美式英语、澳式英语还是其他什么英语，了解一点其他国家英语都是很好的。)”讲述了无论学习哪种英语，都有必要了解其他国家的一些英语知识。由此可推测出，本文主要围绕“世界上的英语”展开论述，A项“世界上的英语”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 D Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep. Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours’ worth of homework each night. Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 am, to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m. However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression. The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day. 32. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m. B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time. C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day. D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older. 33. The second paragraph mainly discusses ________. A. why high school students should get more sleep B. what’s life like for college students at present C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load 34. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “________”. A. arrives B. reduces C. increases D. changes 35 How do the teachers probably feel about the results of pushing backward the start of their school day? A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied. C. Puzzled. D. Surprised. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在高中生课业负担重，导致学生睡眠不足而上课犯困、注意力不集中的现象，建议学校应减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生由充足的睡眠。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中的“The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.(这些研究的研究人员说，研究结果非常重要，更多的学校应该考虑推迟上学时间)”可推知，作者也会赞同高中应该晚一点开始上课。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段“Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.(今天，大多数高中生睡眠不足。睡眠不足是一个严重的问题，尤其是学生们在时间上做得比以往任何时候都多。他们早早来到学校，花几个小时听老师讲课，参加考试，然后跑去练习和开会，回家后还要面对更多的家庭作业。现在的家庭作业负担不轻，老师们每晚都要给学生们几个小时的作业量)”可知，本段讲述了为什么高中生在课堂上感到困倦——就是因为课业繁重和睡眠不足。故选C项。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。由第三段中划线词所在句后面的“After puberty (青春期), the body's internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m.(进入青春期后，人体内部的生物钟会发生变化，青少年很难在晚上11点之前入睡)”可推知，划线词所在句“Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older.”意为“然而，这9个小时的时间随着孩子长大而改变”。划线词shifts在此处意为“changes(变化)”。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中的“In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression.(在早上8:30以后开始上课的学校，老师们认为学生们已经发生了真正的变化。他们注意到，学生缺课少，在课堂上注意力更集中，在课堂上表现更好，而且抑郁程度较低)”可推知，老师们对推迟上课时间很满意。故选B项。 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。 Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said. Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking: Follow your passion (热情). ____36____. They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about. ____37____? With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “____38____, so make sure that it’s what you really want,” Mr. Spence said. Consider your budget. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. ____39____. If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice. Don’t forget the children. ____40____, provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,” Mr. Spence said. A. A little, or a lot B. Don’t be influenced by others’ interests C. What skill do you want to learn D. Learning vacations can be great family trips, too E. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless F. Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip G. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. G 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要就“学习如何度过一个学习假期”这一话题提出了几点建议：以自己的爱好为出发点，确定自己的需求是投入大部分时间还是一点点时间，考虑预算，还可以组织一次家庭学习假期。 【36题详解】 根据后文“They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding.(它们包括烹饪、摄影、艺术史、农业或一项运动，如潜水或骑马。)”可知，后文用举例的方式讲到了学习的项目选择多样性，由此可推知，设空句作为前句，应是总述“假期学习项目很多”。选项E“The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless(在你的假期里，你可以学习的东西是无限的)”在句意上符合分析，句中“The options”与后文的“They”相呼应，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。 【37题详解】 设空句为该段主题句，概括后文内容。根据后文“With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion or only to occupy a part of your trip.(无论你打算学习什么技能，弄清楚你是想沉浸在其中，还是只想占据你旅行的一部分。)”可知，该部分的主要内容是关于技能学习的时长的讨论，是将整个旅行时间大部分投入还是只是一小部分时间。选项A“A little, or a lot(一点点，或者很多)”符合该段主旨要义。故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据后文“so make sure that it’s what you really want(所以要确定这是你真正想要的)”可知，这是结果句，强调要确定自己的需求，那么设空句应是原因句，解释原因。选项G“Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful(把整个假期都花在学习新东西上可能会有压力)”解释了原因，即，整个假期都在学习会有压力，因此要慎重确定自己的需求。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据该部分主题“Consider your budget.(考虑你的预算。)”可知，该部分以“预算”为主题进行讲述，选项F“Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip(对你的预算有一个清晰的想法将帮助你踏上正确的旅程)”贴合主题，与前文“No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges.(不管你的技能是什么，你都可以通过各种价位的旅行来学习。)”在逻辑上衔接紧密。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据该部分主题“Don’t forget the children.(别忘了孩子们。)”可知，该部分强调这种旅行也适合孩子，即，可以是家庭旅行的一种选择。选项D“Learning vacations can be great family trips, too(学习假期也可以是很棒的家庭旅行)”在句意上承接了主题句，进行了进一步解释，与后文“provided that they are fun(前提是它们很有趣)”构成了条件结果关系。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course was my trip ___41___ England.

Yet, I am grateful to learn such a special Chinese tradition. 【答案】56. was listed 57. whose 58. an 59. creative 60. totally 61. is 62. hidden 63. in 64. direction 65. to master 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位热爱艺术的外国人学习中国书法的经历。 【56题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：当我来到中国时，学习中国书法被列为必须做的事情之一。根据“when I came to China”可知，此处应用一般过去时，动词list意为“列举”，和主语构成被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为动名词短语，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填was listed。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：现在，我正在学习这门独特艺术，它的价值在中国甚至在今天的东亚都被认为非常高。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是art，在从句中作value的定语，应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它不仅是人类语言的一种古老艺术形式，而且反映了中国的传统。名词form意为“形式”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指，ancient是以元音音素开头的词，应用an。故填an。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为一个绘画、作图和热爱一切创造性事物的人，一开始，我以为我会相当擅长中国书法。修饰名词things，应用形容词creative，表示“创造性的”，作定语。故填creative。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意：我完全错了。修饰形容词wrong，应用副词totally，表示“完全地”作状语。故填totally。 【61题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：对于初学者来说，使用粗笔尖来产生难处理的笔触是非常困难的。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时，动名词短语作主语，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填is。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我不知道书法的不同类型以及每一种书法背后隐藏的含义。动词hide意为“隐藏”，和谓语之间没有连词，需填非谓语动词形式，hide和逻辑主语meanings构成被动关系，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填hidden。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：此外，我必须以一种非常特殊的方式握住画笔；与钢笔或铅笔不同，画笔笔直地握在手中。in a…way为固定搭配，意为“用一种……的方式”。故填in。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：在改变画笔的角度或方向时，我需要格外小心，尤其是当我用力按压纸张时。此处应用名词direction表示“方向”作动词changing的宾语。故填direction。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在上了这堂课之后，我现在明白了书法的难度，需要努力和投入才能掌握这种艺术形式。此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to master。 第三部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 66. 请你用英语与你的同学分享你的一次难忘的旅游经历，要点包括： 1. 旅游过程；2. 你的感受。 注意：1. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 2. 词数：80左右。 I’m glad to share a truly unforgettable travel experience that I had during my last summer holiday with you. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is what I want to share with you. 【答案】 I’m glad to share a truly unforgettable travel experience that I had during my last summer holiday with you.

Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.” Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it?” he asked. His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.” “No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.” Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom, dad and Alex came home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time. And then he wiped his tears and started to clean his room. It took him two hours to clean up his room. “I did it!” he said proudly. He even found his missing shoe. He ran to the living room. “Grandma, come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Alan's room and smiled. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn't have lost your shoe and your mom wouldn't have punished you,” she said. Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom,dad and Alex came home. “Well, look at Alan's room! It's clean,” his dad said. “How was the Lego Land? Did you have fun? I wish I could have gone there with you,” Alan said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said. From then on, Alan tried to keep his room clean. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alan跟妈妈提议去乐高乐园玩，她的妈妈同意了。但是在临行前，Alan只找到了一只鞋，妈妈回想起她告诉Alan多少次让她把房间打扫干净，但是她总是弄的一团糟。于是Alan妈妈打算给她一个教训，没有带她去乐高乐园，而是让奶奶在家看着她把房间打扫干净。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Alan坐在床上哭了很长时间。”可知，第一段可描写Alan的爸爸妈妈带着Alex去了乐园后，独自伤心，痛哭之后，打扫房间的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Alan和她奶奶正坐在餐桌旁吃饭，这时她的妈妈、爸爸和Alex回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Alan的妈妈、爸爸和Alex回家后发生的故事。 2.续写线索：擦干眼泪→打扫房间→交流→感悟 3.词汇激活： 行为类 擦干眼泪：wipe one's tears / dry one's eyes 打扫房间：clean up the room/ clean the house 微笑：smile/beam with a smile 情绪类 玩得开心：have fun/ have a good time 骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】 “If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said.(运用了if引导让步状语从句。) 【高分句型2】 It took him two hours to clean up his room.(运用了it作形式主语，to do作真正的主语。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江西省九江市匡卢星瀚高级中学2024-2025学年度上学期开学考 高二英语试卷 时间120分钟 总分150分 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 does the woman mean?

B Larry and I have always had our basic values in common, but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. He has been sharing season tickets with his friends for years. I must admit I’ve been always invited to see the games together. This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly. There was a reason for the joke. The last time I invited him to go to the opera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had to admit it was always boring for him, but when I gave him a ticket for my favorite opera, I really thought he might enjoy it. I woke him up, but soon he fell asleep again. When Larry found I was joking, he breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He said, “But I want you to go to see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I promised and complained, “Not again!” Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my telephone messages would be interrupted when the home team scored. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and exchanged high- fives and fist bumps. However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I decided to at least give it a try—for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself! I didn’t keep glancing at the clock, counting the minutes until we got out. Time flew. The game was over before I knew it. 24. Why does the author quote his conversation with Larry in paragraph 2? A. To show their common values. B. To show their sense of humour. C. To show the trust between them. D. To show the difference in their interests. 25. What was the author’s initial reaction to basketball games? A. Casual. B. Curious. C. Puzzled. D. Pleased. 26. What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean? A. Bored. B. Disappointed. C. Addicted. D. Satisfied. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Art and Sport B. From Opera to Basketball C. Cheering for the Home Team D. Developing a Passion for Opera C English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. While all of these countries share the same mother tongue, there are some differences in the way they speak and write. The first difference is in the accent. Each country has its own accent. And within each country there are a variety of accents called regional accents. Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre. And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all. For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W.C.(water closet). But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is located). So which English is the best English to learn? Well, there is no best English. They are all equally good and correct. But two things may help you decide which one is best for you to study. First of all, where do you live? If you are from South America, for example, you will probably have more exposure (接触) to North American English. If you live in Europe, most likely you will be more exposed to British English. The second thing to think about is why you are learning English. Is it for business? Travel? To watch movies? Think about the kind of English you plan to use and focus on understanding people from that area. But no matter where you study English or whether it’s British, American, Australian, or whatever, it’s good to know a little about English in other countries. 28. what does the word “restroom” refer to for American people? A. A room for a rest. B. A place where the toilet is. C. A place for you to wash hands. D. A room where people can speak English. 29. In how many ways is English different from one country to another? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 30. According to the third paragraph, the author mainly focuses on ______. A. the reasons for learning English B. some advice on how to learn English C. some ways to learn different English accents D. explaining the importance of learning English 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. English around the world B. The best English to learn C. Many kinds of English D. Different countries D Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep. Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours’ worth of homework each night. Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 am, to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m. However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression. The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day. 32. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m. B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time. C Most schools should push forward the start of their school day. D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older. 33. The second paragraph mainly discusses ________. A. why high school students should get more sleep B. what’s life like for college students at present C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load 34. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “________”. A. arrives B. reduces C. increases D. changes 35. How do the teachers probably feel about the results of pushing backward the start of their school day? A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied. C. Puzzled. D. Surprised. 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。 Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said.

Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.” Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it?” he asked. His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.” “No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.” Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home.
