B Mid-afternoon on a particularly busy Tuesday, I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks, only to find a space where neither my clients (客户) nor my children would ask me to do something. Inside, I ran into Kate, a co-worker of mine. The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kate’s face. “Well, my daughter’s in San Francisco and she doesn’t seem to need me at all these days.” Kate said. It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I’ll actually miss that same stress I now complain about. And as our conversation continued, it turned to our children’s younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years. This got me thinking. Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent? It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing, one thing is clear — it didn’t affect them in a meaningful way. The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better, And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it. 24. Why does the author go to a local Starbucks? A. To have an appointment with one of his clients. B. To have a discussion about parenthood with Kate. C. To enjoy a delicious coffee with her friends. D. To escape from the pressures around her. 25. Why did Kate feel sad and regretful? A. Because she couldn’t get on well with her daughter. B. Because she hardly paid any attention to her kids. C. Because she was disappointed with her kids’ performance. D. Because she thought that she could have done better. 26. What can we learn according to the fifth and sixth paragraph? A. Not every parent has a good relationship with their kids. B. The author was moved by what these parents had done. C. These parents didn’t make a meaningful life for their children. D. None of the parents were totally content with the way they raised kids. 27. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Give as much love as you can to kids. B. Don’t limit kids’ freedom as they grow up. C. Treasure the present and be a good parent. D. Learn how to be a good parent from others. C Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion (侵蚀). Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms. They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors-like coastal building developments, all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be. It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year. Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action. Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle. However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world’s beaches. If the world’s governments are able to stick to modest cuts to heat-trapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 22%of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, a number that grows to 40%by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited. 28. Which is the biggest contributor to severe beach erosion? A. Damaging storms. B. Wave erosion. C. Coastal building. D. Sea level rise. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. It is hard to protect coastal beaches. B One third of storms take place near beaches. C. Beaches are of great significance to our lives. D. Most Australians live on beach tourism. 30. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Popularizing the beaches. B. Holding sand in place. C. Reducing the project costs. D. Stopping global warming. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Half beaches could disappear by 2100. B. Climate change is doing harm to our lives. C. The beach is more than a vacation destination. D. Governments are taking action to fight wave erosion. D Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core". Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching. Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport. Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not. In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business. 32. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing" in Paragraph 2? A. Describing. B. Attracting. C. Designing. D. Blocking. 33. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To construct the criteria for being great. B. To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes. C. To present how to teach critical thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of reasoning. 34. What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. 35. What does this text imply? A. Teaching methods should vary among schools. B. Research on education deserves more attention. C. Critical thinking should be valued in education. D. Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received. 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。 People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to ''tell'' people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. ___36___ Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. ___37___Their personalities might be similar too. For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.

They are competitive and good at business. ___39___ Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is common picture of them. Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. ___40___ Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) are sometimes problems for them.

This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect. On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.” I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular. A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it?” He looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom. 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。 As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年9月 绵阳南山中学高2022级9月月考 英语试卷 考试时间共120分钟，满分150分 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必在答题卡上将自己的学校、姓名、班级、准考证号用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，考生考试条形码由监考老师粘贴在答题卡上的“条形码粘贴处”。 2. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡上对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后再填涂其它答案;非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔在答题卡的对应区域内作答, 超出答题区域答题的答案无效;在草稿纸上、试卷上答题无效。 3.考试结束后由监考老师将答题卡收回。 第I卷 (共95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) 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答案，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个小题。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 will the speakers do next?

W: Back in the day, I was a photographer because that was the best way to share information, but nowadays I admire the modern journalists who use video. M: That’s interesting. Sharing photos, writing articles and interviews has changed our world but now I’m wondering what you think is the most critical part of journalism. W: I’ve learned that it’s not just about being honest and sharing recent events, although that’s crucial. The most essential factor is bringing the world closer together. Globally we must celebrate victories and support others during difficult times. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. Why is the man giving the woman the information? A.

Scientists have created a clever way to protect farms from elephants in South Africa of course elephants don’t attack humans or try to eat pets but when these creatures wander near farms or houses they can easily crush plants structures or cars with their feet. Recently farmers have started using bees to keep elephants away. Why would this work elephants aren’t big fans of bees when they hear recordings of bees through speakers around the farm they run away. Bees can stay and elephants can breathe in these insects through their sensitive noses. The best part is that it doesn’t harm the elephants it just reminds them to stay away. This creative solution was proposed this spring with tests of its results beginning this summer and finishing this autumn. If this works it will protect farms all over Africa. It’s amazing how creative ideas like this can help protect both animals and farms. Now let’s hear from the owner of this agricultural center. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A MarineLand Theme Park With numerous rides, a variety of wildlife from both land and sea and shows filled with action-packed excitement, no wonder it's a hit with visitors from all over the world.

Inside, I ran into Kate, a co-worker of mine. The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kate’s face. “Well, my daughter’s in San Francisco and she doesn’t seem to need me at all these days.” Kate said. It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I’ll actually miss that same stress I now complain about. And as our conversation continued, it turned to our children’s younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years. This got me thinking. Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent? It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing, one thing is clear — it didn’t affect them in a meaningful way. The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better, And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it. 24. Why does the author go to a local Starbucks? A. To have an appointment with one of his clients. B. To have a discussion about parenthood with Kate. C. To enjoy a delicious coffee with her friends. D. To escape from the pressures around her. 25. Why did Kate feel sad and regretful? A. Because she couldn’t get on well with her daughter. B. Because she hardly paid any attention to her kids. C. Because she was disappointed with her kids’ performance. D. Because she thought that she could have done better. 26. What can we learn according to the fifth and sixth paragraph? A. Not every parent has a good relationship with their kids. B. The author was moved by what these parents had done. C. These parents didn’t make a meaningful life for their children. D None of the parents were totally content with the way they raised kids. 27. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Give as much love as you can to kids. B. Don’t limit kids’ freedom as they grow up. C. Treasure the present and be a good parent. D. Learn how to be a good parent from others. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议。本文主要叙述了每一对父母对于早期抚养孩子都有遗憾，认为自己本来可以做的更好。但作者认为过去不能改变，重要的是珍惜当下，尽力做好父母。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段中提到“Mid-afternoon on a particularly busy Tuesday, I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks, only to find a space where neither my clients nor my children would ask me to do something.(在一个特别忙碌的周二午后，我离开了办公桌，走进了一家当地的星巴克，只为找到一个既不会被客户也不会被孩子要求做事的地方。)” 这表明作者需要一个没有客户和孩子打扰的地方来放松自己，所以选择去星巴克是为了逃避周围的压力。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中提到“She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years.(她解释说，她经常在想，当她的孩子们还小的时候，她能做些什么不同的事情。)”；同时结合第五和第六段“What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?( 在你为人父母的早期，你最大的遗憾是什么?)以及“It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. (结果他们都认为他们可以做得更好。)”可知，这说明Kate对自己在孩子小时候的教育方式有所反思，认为自己当时可以做得更好。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?(带着这样的想法，我问了6位年长的父母一个问题：你做父母之初最大的遗憾是什么？)”以及第六段“It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. (结果他们都认为他们可以做得更好。)”可知，在作者询问的年长的父母中，没有一个父母对他们的养育方式完全满意即他们对于自己抚养孩子的方式并不是完全满意，还有欠缺的地方。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better, And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it.(最重要的是，我们都觉得我们可以做得更好，而且很明显，多年以后，我们回首往事，还是会希望我们尝试了不同的方法。但是过去不能改变，也不应该改变。)”可知，作者认为抚养孩子方面我们能做的更好。多年后我们可能回首往事时希望尝试的方法有所不同。但是我们改变不了过去，就不要改变它，而是珍惜现在的生活即过去是不能改变，要珍惜现在的时间，尽最大努力做父母。故选C。 C Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion (侵蚀). Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms. They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors-like coastal building developments, all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be. It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year. Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action. Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle. However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world’s beaches. If the world’s governments are able to stick to modest cuts to heat-trapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 22%of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, a number that grows to 40%by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited. 28. Which is the biggest contributor to severe beach erosion? A. Damaging storms. B. Wave erosion. C. Coastal building. D. Sea level rise. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. It is hard to protect coastal beaches. B. One third of storms take place near beaches. C. Beaches are of great significance to our lives. D. Most Australians live on beach tourism. 30. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. Popularizing the beaches. B. Holding sand in place. C. Reducing the project costs. D. Stopping global warming. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Half beaches could disappear by 2100. B. Climate change is doing harm to our lives. C. The beach is more than a vacation destination. D. Governments are taking action to fight wave erosion. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。一项新研究显示：气候变化对世界上的沙滩造成了威胁，到2100年将有一半的沙滩消失。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors,得知有很多因素会造成沙滩被侵蚀，其中海平面上升是导致沙滩严重侵蚀的最大因素。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities得知很难夸大世界上的海滩有多重要。它们覆盖了世界三分之一以上的海岸线，并保护着海岸线，保护沿海地区免受风暴的侵袭。海滩也是重要的经济引擎，支持休闲、旅游和其它活动。第三段强调了沙滩对人类生活非常重要。故选C。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.得知而另一些人则建造了海堤和防波堤，试图把珍贵的沙子固定住。但是这些项目的金融和环境成本巨大，科学家说上升的海洋和更强大的风暴，因气候变暖而增压，将会使得固定沙子是一场失败的举措。得知this指代的是Hold sand in place。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found.得知文章首句就点明主题。一项新研究显示：气候变化对世界上的沙滩造成了威胁，到2100年将有一半的沙滩消失。所以最佳标题是“到2100年，一半的沙滩将会消失”。故选A。 D Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core". Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching. Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport. Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not. In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business. 32. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing" in Paragraph 2? A. Describing. B. Attracting. C. Designing. D. Blocking. 33. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To construct the criteria for being great. B. To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes. C. To present how to teach critical thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of reasoning. 34. What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. 35. What does this text imply? A. Teaching methods should vary among schools. B. Research on education deserves more attention. C. Critical thinking should be valued in education. D. Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过阐述批判性思维的研究依据，结合澳大利亚的批判性思维在教育中的应用结果，最终得出结论：在发展21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习)方面，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。结合题干，可以定位文章中的句子。第二段第二句 One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. 对学生分析和评估论点的能力有很大影响的一个策略是论点映射，通过从假设到结论的推理路径，学生的推理可以直观地显示出来。根据本句中mapping绘制……地图，可以看成，学生的推理能力是通过从假设到结论的描述直观地显示出来。因而句中capture应该是描述的意思。故选A项。 【33题详解】 写作目的题。结合本段第一句Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. 澳大利亚一所高中的教师，在批判性思维教学方法方面受过很多训练，他们开发了一项任务，要求学生们选出澳大利亚最伟大的运动员。 学生们需要建立自己的标准来衡量自己的成就。再结合随后的句子：To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport.为此，他们必须分析澳大利亚的体育背景，制定可能的评估标准，解释并证明为什么有些标准比其他标准更容易被接受，并将这些标准应用到他们的候选人身上。 然后，他们需要与同学辩论，制定可靠、可辩护、广泛适用的标准，并产生一个抓住了澳大利亚体育的重要和相关方面的选择。可以看出，本段主要讲的就是批判性思维在教育中的具体实施方法。选项C符合题意，故选C项。 【34题详解】 写作态度题。根据最后一段In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business.就培养21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习学生)而言，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。可以看出，作者对与批判性思维在教育中的作用是肯定的，选项B符合题意。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文内容，批判性思维对发展学生思维的价值是有重要意义的，再根据最后一段In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business.就培养21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习学生)而言，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。可以得出，本文主要讲述在教育上应该重视批判性思维对学生能力发展的意义。故选C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。 People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes.

This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect. On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.” I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular. A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it?” He looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom. 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。 As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me. Their shrill laughing let me blush with shame. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything but sit there, keeping my body unmoved and holding back my tears. What I wanted to do is just to make friends with them. I couldn’t figure out why they laughed at me. But one thing was certain, that is, I must removed myself from their presence. Therefore, I wasn’t ready to leave until they walked far away. Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. I felt very strange since I was new here without making any friends. Turning around, I saw Diane who came up to me with a warm smile on her face. She said she would walk together with me. What a kind and friendly girl she was, I thought. I was deeply moved so that I left all my embarrassment and sadness behind. On our way home, we talked a lot and I was surprised to find we had a lot in common. I also realized the true meaning of a friend. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者进入新学校第一天的迷茫与困惑。作者一开始找不到教室，一个名叫戴安娜的女孩主动提供帮助并带领他找到了教室，但作者却不想与戴安娜交朋友。之后在教室遇到非常受欢迎的约翰尼，作者向其寻求帮助，却被无情的拒绝。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段首句内容“当他们走出去的时候，我听到他们都在嘲笑我”可知，第一段可描写作者听到嘲笑之后的心理状态及情绪表现。 ②.由第二段首句内容“在我准备回家之前，我听到一个熟悉的声音在喊我的名字。”可知，第二段可描写作者听到声音之后的反应及作者的感想。 2.续写线索：被嘲笑——尴尬——伤心——听到熟悉的声音——感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.抑制眼泪：hold back my tears/retain my tears ②接近，靠近：come up/approach ③.一起走路：walk together/accompany him/keep him company 情绪类 ①.感动：be moved/be touched ②.悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】【高分句型1】What I wanted to do is just to make friends with them.（使用了what引导的主语从句） 【高分句型2】Turning around, I saw Diane who came up to me with a warm smile on her face. （使用了现在分词作状语，及who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
