B In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients. He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds. The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh. The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements. “The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster. 24. What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs? A. He received little formal education. B. He had a strong self-learning ability. C. He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D. He got support from a computer engineer. 25. How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements? A. By speaking into their phones. B. By producing a loud noise. C By making an emergency call. D. By announcing the time automatically. 26. What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor? A. It can analyze patients’ health data. B. It can prevent patients from falling down. C. It can track patients’ movements remotely. D. It can make a difference to patients’ recovery. 27. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A. Caring and creative. B. Generous and talented. C. Determined and honest. D. Independent and brave. C Are you an early bird or a night owl? Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic (新陈代谢) differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources. Researchers from Rutgers University New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups(early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic fitness levels were tested through an incline challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion. The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise. Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said, “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.” 28. What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Move quickly. B. Go without food. C. Exercise regularly. D. Fall sound asleep. 29. How was the research conducted? A. By making a survey. B. By making contrasts. C. By providing examples. D. By introducing a concept. 30. What is the characteristic of the “early birds”? A. Having lower fitness level. B. Using less fat during exercise. C. Consuming more fat at rest. D. Being more active during the night. 31. What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Tolerant. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. D Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined. －Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature. When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time. Importantly they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead? Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them? In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride. Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up. 32. Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture. B. To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II. C. To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war. D. To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view. 33. What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Accept something uncertain without special effort. B. Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted. C. Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life. D. Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives. 34. According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________. A. lead a happy life B. build up right values C. get on well with friends D. handle difficult situations 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. Where should students start when they study Literature? B. What will students gain through the study of Literature? C. Why will Literature help students in their future success? D. How can we support students in their study of Literature? 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。 How similar are language and music?

Lily Adams was surrounded by classmates with cool ideas. One classmate said excitedly, “I’m going to be the whole solar system, with planets circling around me!” One boasted (吹嘘), “I’ll redefine innovation. I will become a walking smartphone from the future, showing the digital age with interactive apps and games.” Meanwhile, another one came up with the idea to dress up as a live weather forecast. He planned to attach LED screens to his outfit, displaying different weather patterns. This costume would not just show the weather but also change with real-time updates, combining technology and creativity in a way the festival had never seen. Feeling overwhelmed, Lily wasn’t sure what to do. Her friends had such amazing ideas, and she hadn’t even picked a costume yet. She shared her worries with her friend Noah, saying,” I can’t make up my mind. Every idea seems too hard to do or just not exciting enough.” Noah, always wise, had a great suggestion. “Why don’t you make a costume about gardening? You love it, and it’s something unique to you,” he said. Lily was unsure because the contest was just a few days away. “I don’t know if there’s enough time to make something like that from the beginning,” she worried. But Noah encouraged her, “You have a special talent for making something wonderful out of simple things. Use what’s around you.” Inspired by Noah’s words, Lily thought over her collection of plants and flowers. Arriving home, she noticed the pile of old gardening magazines and a forgotten green tarp(防水布)in the garage. 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 Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the contest finally arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 万全综合高中2023学年第二学期期末考测试卷 高二(普高)英语 考生须知： 1.试卷满分为150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.本卷全部答案必须做在答题纸上的相应位置上，做在试题卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转写到答题卡上。 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 most probably Esther?

How many languages can Persephone use to answer questions? A. 30 B. 1 C. 33 19. Why does Kartalis want to improve Persephone? A. It moves quite slowly. B. It has poor communication skills. C. It can only speak limited languages. 20. What is Karafera’s attitude towards robots’ future? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: A guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. Persephone is very intelligent. It’s a human-sized robot. It can give its part of the tour in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language. Persephone guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Kartalis is considering ways to increase its speed. Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It’s helpful, because it speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring.” She added, “Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.” Karafera noted, however, that human tour guides must remain part of the operation. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs,” she said. “But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere.” 第二部分 阅读(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Edinburgh is famous for its many museums where you can learn its rich history.

This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients. He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds. The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh. The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements. “The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster. 24. What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs? A. He received little formal education. B. He had a strong self-learning ability. C. He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D. He got support from a computer engineer. 25. How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements? A. By speaking into their phones. B. By producing a loud noise. C. By making an emergency call. D. By announcing the time automatically. 26. What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor? A. It can analyze patients’ health data. B. It can prevent patients from falling down. C. It can track patients’ movements remotely. D. It can make a difference to patients’ recovery. 27. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A. Caring and creative. B. Generous and talented. C. Determined and honest. D. Independent and brave. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。详细描述了一个12岁的少年Hemesh Chadalavada发明了一种名为“Alpha Monitor”的设备，旨在帮助痴呆患者。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds.(在互联网的帮助下，他开始用家里的任何东西创造这个设备。“我做的第一个模型是一个巨大的盒子。我在互联网上学习了如何制作可穿戴设备，学习了使用哪些组件，以及在海德拉巴哪里可以找到这些组件。我从一个硬件设备开始，之后我在网上学习编程，然后转向机器学习和数据科学，以帮助我完善我的设备，”他补充道)”可知，一切都是Hemesh Chadalavada在网上自学的，所以他的自学能力很强。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh.(Alpha Monitor有两部分，一部分是类似手表的可穿戴设备，另一部分是与之相连的闹钟。他说：“你把这个装置连接到病人身上。如果病人把它扔掉或者不喜欢戴，你可以把它放在一个袋子里，然后把它固定在他们的口袋或袜子里，或者任何你喜欢的地方。一旦你插上闹钟，你的每一个微小的运动变化都会得到警告。一旦病人起身或走开，它就会发出巨大的警报声来警告家人，”Hemesh说)”可知，阿尔法监测器是通过产生巨大的噪音提醒人们注意病人的动作。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more.

Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic (新陈代谢) differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources. Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups(early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic fitness levels were tested through an incline challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion. The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise. Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said, “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.” 28. What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Move quickly. B. Go without food. C. Exercise regularly. D. Fall sound asleep. 29. How was the research conducted? A. By making a survey. B. By making contrasts. C. By providing examples. D. By introducing a concept. 30. What is the characteristic of the “early birds”? A. Having lower fitness level. B. Using less fat during exercise. C. Consuming more fat at rest. D. Being more active during the night. 31. What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research? A. Tolerant. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一说明文。文章介绍了人的活动模式和睡眠周期与心脏病风险之间的关系。研究发现，早睡早起的人(早鸟)比晚睡晚起的人(夜猫子)更善于利用脂肪作为能量来源，且整体健康水平更高。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前情态动词had to可知，fast是动词；结合划线词所在句“They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimize dietary impact on the results.(他们摄入了控制热量和营养的饮食，并且必须在夜间进行fast，以最小化饮食对结果影响)”可推知，ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet和fast overnight都是“最小化饮食对结果影响”的措施。由此推知，fast overnight是指“夜间禁食”，fast与go without food同义。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups (early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day.(美国新泽西州罗格斯大学的研究人员根据参与者在不同时间寻求活动和睡眠的自然倾向，将他们分为两组(早睡和晚睡)。研究人员对参与者进行了为期一周的监测，以评估他们一天中的活动模式)”和第三段中“The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are ‘early birds’ rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with, higher levels of aerobic fitness than ‘night owls’. On the other hand, ‘night owls’ use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise.(研究人员发现，那些熬夜的人将脂肪转化为能量的能力降低，这意味着脂肪可能会在体内堆积，增加患心脏病的风险。“早起鸟”更多地依赖脂肪作为能量来源，白天比“夜猫子”更活跃，有氧健身水平更高。另一方面，“夜猫子”在休息和运动时消耗较少的脂肪作为能量)”可知，研究人员根据参与者在不同时间寻求活动和睡眠的自然倾向将他们分为两组，然后以各种方式对参与者进行监测和测试，通过比较两组的结果来得出结论。故选B项。 30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls.(研究人员还发现，与夜猫子相比，早起的鸟儿在休息和锻炼时消耗的脂肪更多)”可知，“早起的鸟儿”休息时消耗更多脂肪。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段中Malin话“We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Farther research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.(我们发现，早起的鸟儿比夜猫子更活跃，健康水平也更高。需要进一步的研究来检验运动和代谢适应之间的联系，以确定一天中更早的运动是否对健康更有好处)”可知，Malin认为虽然目前的研究表明，早起和健康水平较高之间存在相关性，但马林不确定这两者之间的因果关系，以及早起锻炼对健康的潜在益处。他呼吁进一步的研究来检验这种联系。由此推知，他对研究结果持不确定的态度。故选D项。 D Literature makes us better thinkers. It moves us to see the multi-sidedness of situations and therefore expands the width of our own visions, moving us towards dreams and solutions we might not otherwise have imagined. －Judith Langer,Envisioning Literature. When students study Literature, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read. They understand about their own culture and others’. They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain. For example, one 15-year-old student shared with me that when studying the short story The Shoes of My Sensei by Goh Sin Tub, he could put himself into the shoes of those who lived through World War II, and understand their suffering, and what it was like during that time. Importantly, they lean to consider multiple aspects and understand the complexity of human nature. Take, for example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Do we feel Napoleon is fully responsible for the miserable lives the animals lead? Aren’t the other animals responsible for their own misfortune too, having allowed Napoleon to bully them? In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white. And there lies the value of the subject—it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life, to take uncertainties in one’s stride. Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility. For example, in a text like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, the main character chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than betray his friends and neighbors. When considering this character’s motivations, students discuss the value of integrity. They reflect on what it takes to be a man or woman who commands the respect of the people around them even in difficult situations. The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up. 32. Why is an example of a 15-year-old student mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To raise people’s awareness of appreciating others’ culture. B. To appeal to readers to read more Literature on World War II. C. To remind students that Literature can make the world free of war. D. To show Literature can make one think from others’ points of view. 33. What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Accept something uncertain without special effort. B. Allow one to take the ambiguities of life for granted. C. Have the courage to face the misfortune occurring in life. D. Take the responsibility to fight against the miserable lives. 34. According to the last paragraph, Literature can help students ________. A. lead a happy life B. build up right values C. get on well with friends D. handle difficult situations 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. Where should students start when they study Literature? B. What will students gain through the study of Literature? C. Why will Literature help students in their future success? D. How can we support students in their study of Literature? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了阅读文学作品对学生产生的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“They travel to other areas and times through the texts they read.（他们通过阅读的文章到其他地区和时代旅行。）”和“They learn to empathize (共情) with characters, to feel their joys and pain.（他们学会与人物共情，感受他们的欢乐和痛苦。）”可知，作者在第一段主要告诉我们通过阅读文学作品，我们可以学会与人物共情，感受他们的欢乐和痛苦，而下文提到的一个15岁学生的例子主要是为了告诉我们他在阅读过程中是如何做到与人物共情的，是如何站在书中角色的角度思考问题的。由此可知，第一段提到一个15岁学生的例子是为了展示文学可以让人从别人的角度思考问题。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线短语上句“In Literature, as in life, things aren’t always so clear cut, in black and white.（在文学中，就像在生活中一样，事情并不总是那么清楚，白纸黑字。）”和“it prepares one for the ambiguities (模棱两可) of life（它让人为生活中模棱两可的事物做准备）”可知，作者在本段主要告诉我们，通过阅读文学作品，我们可以学会从多个方面考虑问题，理解人性的复杂性，让我们知道在生活中，事情并不总是那么清楚，让我们为接受生活中模棱两可的事物做好准备。由此可知，画线短语指的是“轻而易举接受不确定的东西。”故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“Literature develops in students lasting values, such as integrity, sympathy, loyalty and responsibility.（文学培养了学生持久的价值观，如正直、同情、忠诚和责任感。）”和“The texts students explore give them multiple opportunities to discuss and re-evaluate their own values and beliefs. These act as a compass in life as students grow up.”（学生探索的文章给了他们许多机会来讨论和重新评估自己的价值观和信仰。这些在学生成长过程中起着指南针的作用。）可知，最后一段中作者主要告诉我们，文学作品可以帮助学生树立正确的价值观，在学生成长过程中起着指南针的作用。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。浏览文章，文章主要通过“The Shoes of My Sensei”，“Animal Farm”和“The Crucible”这三本书的例子告诉我们，文学作品可以帮助学生从别人的角度思考问题、接受生活中不确定的东西和树立正确的价值观。由此可知，本文主要讲述了学生通过学习文学会获得什么。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。 How similar are language and music? Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. ___36___ Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes (音符) to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. ___37___ By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition (作品) of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. ___38___ You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. Both share emotion. ___39___ Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.___40___ I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics (歌词). A. Both are expressive. B. Similarly, music is part of many people's lives. C. So just as you read English, you can read music. D. We use language to express our thoughts. E. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. F. How do you know that I am angry? G. Both vary with culture. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. G 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了语言和音乐在我们的文化中都扮演着重要的角色，两者有着多个相似之处；有书写系统，依附于各自的文化、能分享情感。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. (无论我们生活在世界的哪个角落，语言都是我们日常生活的一部分。)”和下文“Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. (语言和音乐在我们的文化中都扮演着重要的角色，以下是它们的一些相似之处。)”可知，上文指出语言是我们日常生活的一部分，后文说语言和音乐在文化中都扮演着重要的作用。由此可知，音乐和语言一样——是日常生活的一部分。B项“Similarly, music is part of many people’s lives. (同样，音乐也是许多人生活的一部分)”符合题意，承接上下文。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.((在英语中，我们用字母表记录语言，字母表是字母的集合。)”和“Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. (音乐家们阅读音符，并以音乐的形式创造意义)”可知，英语是一种以字母记录的语言，音乐是音符组成的篇章，也有可读性。C项“So just as you read English, you can read music.(所以就像你读英语一样，你也可以读音乐)”，音乐也可以像英语一样进行阅读，上下文衔接连贯。故选C项。 38题详解】 空处为本段小标题。根据下文“You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. (你可以通过听一个人使用的语言来猜测他来自哪里。同样，我们知道世界各地的音乐风格是不同的，这让我们有机会通过他们的音乐来探索许多不同的文化，并为我们提供适合各种情况的音乐。)”可知，音乐和语言一样都承载了很多不同的文化。G项“Both vary with culture. (两者都带着各种各样的文化)”，both指代下文的language和music，可以作为小标题。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据小标题“Both share emotion. (双方共享情感)”可知，本段和情绪有关。F项“How do you know that I am angry? (你怎么知道我生气了？)”符合题意，且与下文“Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. (你当然可以从我的脸上看出来，但你也一定会通过我的话知道。)”承接F项，是对选项问题的回答。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. (当你感到快乐的时候，你可能想跟着快乐的歌曲唱歌跳舞来庆祝你的快乐)”可知，快乐的时候，想听令人快乐的歌曲。由此推知，下文陈述，当不快乐的时候，可能想听悲伤的音乐。E项“In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. (相反，当你情绪低落时，你可能也会听悲伤的音乐。)”，与上文形成对比。故选E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。 If you walk around the Rahway Trail (小路) in the South Mountain Reservation, you might spot more than leaves, trees and squirrels.

Lily Adams was surrounded by classmates with cool ideas. One classmate said excitedly, “I’m going to be the whole solar system, with planets circling around me!” One boasted (吹嘘), “I’ll redefine innovation. I will become a walking smartphone from the future, showing the digital age with interactive apps and games.” Meanwhile, another one came up with the idea to dress up as a live weather forecast. He planned to attach LED screens to his outfit, displaying different weather patterns. This costume would not just show the weather but also change with real-time updates, combining technology and creativity in a way the festival had never seen. Feeling overwhelmed Lily wasn’t sure what to do. Her friends had such amazing ideas, and she hadn’t even picked a costume yet. She shared her worries with her friend Noah, saying,” I can’t make up my mind. Every idea seems too hard to do or just not exciting enough.” Noah, always wise, had a great suggestion. “Why don’t you make a costume about gardening? You love it, and it’s something unique to you,” he said. Lily was unsure because the contest was just a few days away. “I don’t know if there’s enough time to make something like that from the beginning,” she worried. But Noah encouraged her, “You have a special talent for making something wonderful out of simple things. Use what’s around you.” Inspired by Noah’s words, Lily thought over her collection of plants and flowers. Arriving home, she noticed the pile of old gardening magazines and a forgotten green tarp(防水布)in the garage. 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 Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the contest finally arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. She would create a costume that showcased her love for gardening! She quickly gathered all the materials she needed—leaves, flowers, and even some small plants. With Noah’s advice in mind, she started to work on her costume, carefully arranging the plants and flowers to create a beautiful garden scene. It was hard work, but Lily loved every minute of it. She spent hours perfecting her creation, adding little details here and there until it was just right. The day of the contest finally arrived. Lily was nervous as she walked onto the stage, but as soon as she saw the look of amazement on the judges’ faces, she knew she had made the right choice. Her costume was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. It was a living, breathing garden, complete with real plants and flowers. The judges were blown away by her creativity and originality, and Lily won first place in the contest!From that day on, Lily felt more confident in herself and her abilities.She realized that it’s important to follow your passions and do what you love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了Lily Adams的学校要举办一项名为“创新你的方式”的新比赛。这项比赛的目的是制作一种尽可能独特和有创意的服装，展示一个人最喜欢的东西。Lily觉得她周围同学的想法都非常的酷，所以有点不知所措，不知道要选择什么样主题的服装。就在这时，她的朋友Noah给了她一个建议，让她准备关于园艺的服装。她不知道能不能按时完成，但是她决定尝试一下。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当莉莉翻阅杂志时，一个想法开始生根发芽。”可知，第一段可描写Lily认真准备服装，并顺利完成。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛的日子终于到了。”可知，在比赛中，LiLy的创意服装得到了评委的认可，获得了一等奖。这件事让她对自己更加自信。 2.续写线索：建议——准备的过程——顺利完成——得到评委的认可——获得一等奖——获得自信 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：gather/collect ②增添：add/extend ③赢得：win/gain 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/anxious ②惊讶：amazement/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】 She would create a costume that showcased her love for gardening! （运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】She realized that it’s important to follow your passions and do what you love.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
