Enjoy! Remember more events can be found on the Calendar of Events or under our Community Link. The Cooperage Maker Fair The Cooperage Maker Fair will be held from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Friday, June 12th on the grounds of the City Museum.

Great Brazilian Music Tour On Saturday, June 27th, a fantastic opportunity is ready for you to listen to some great Brazilian music by the musical group Minas. It is from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, and doors open at 2:00 pm. We encourage children and their families to come to learn all about the rhythm, excitement and sound of Brazilian music. The 2-hour performance is sure to be fun for the whole family. The admission charge is $5 for each person, and all the money will go to the local food bank. You can also give away old clothes and money at the entrance. 21．Which event requires people to make a reservation? A．Such Sweet Thunder. B．Sounds Like Teen Spirit. C．The Cooperage Maker Fair. D．Great Brazilian Music Tour. 22．When can kids put on their own performances? A．June 12th. B．June 17th. C．June 25th. D．June 27th. 23．What can you do at Great Brazilian Music Tour?

B After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make a difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance — curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only to recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. The way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 24．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A．present an argument B．make a comparison C．reach a conclusion D．propose a definition 25．What does the example of Galileo tell us? A．Scientists tend to have varied ambitions. B．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. C．Creativity results from challenging authority. D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 26．What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent? A．Observe the unknown around you. B．Develop a questioning mind. C．Lead a life of adventure. D．Follow the fashion. 27．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．Gaining success helps you become an expert. B．The genius tends to get things done creatively. C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection. C Disastrous floods in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 people, according to local authorities. The disaster comes after a series of deadly floods around the world this month, from China to Brazil to Greece. In every case, extremely heavy rain was to blame. The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstorms, and the need for better warning systems and basic facilities to protect the most vulnerable (脆弱的) populations. Climate change makes heavy rain more common, even in dry places where the total amount of rainfall is small. That’s because a hotter atmosphere can hold more moisture. Everyday rainstorm, as well as bigger storms such as hurricanes, are increasingly dangerous as a result. In Libya, a storm called Daniel swept in from the Mediterranean over the weekend and resulted in a jaw-dropping 16 inches of rain in just 24 hour, according to the World Meteorological Organization. That is far too much water for the ground to absorb, especially in a dry climate where the soil is dry and is less able to suck up water quickly. The massive amount of rain caused widespread flash flooding, and damaged at least one dam near the coastal city of Derna. That released torrents of water powerful enough to sweep away entire neighborhoods. In Brazil, flooding from a hurricane last week killed more than 20 people and left a large piece of southern Brazil underwater. Cities around the world are hurrying to improve their basic facilities to handle increasingly common heavy rain. The disasters in the last two weeks also stress the vulnerability to climate change of people who are not wealthy or who live in places that are at war. While extreme rain has caused floods around the world recently, the number of the death is significantly higher in places where there isn’t money or political will to maintain basic facilities and enough weather warning systems. 28．What led to the floods in Libya? A．Extreme rainfall. B．Wet climate. C．Severe hurricane. D．Broken facilities. 29．What does the underlined phrase “suck up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Separate. B．Supply. C．Store. D．Absorb. 30．How do the floods affect people? A．They lead to people’s union. B．They cost people their lives. C．They inspire people to struggle. D．They make people become strong. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Floods linked to climate change. B．Floods in Libya and their causes. C．The needs of disaster preparedness. D．Climate change impact on poor areas. D People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products. “A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says. Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. “What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal. Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals. To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area. Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. 32．Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians? A．To understand health benefits of vegetarianism. B．To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion. C．To study environmental impact of vegetarianism. D．To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism. 33．What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study? A．They have the same variations. B．They determine vegetarian fat. C．They may influence vegetarianism. D．They play no role in dietary choices. 34．What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings? A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Unconcerned. D．Doubtful. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．The Benefits of Vegetarianism B．The Diet Research on Vegetarians C．Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet D．The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion 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。 It’s a nightmare having to wait for exam results. 36 If you’re stressed out after taking your exams, don’t worry! There are some steps you can take to calm down and reduce your stress. Take some deep breaths. Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response, making your breaths shallow and rapid. 37 Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen (腹部). As you breathe, you should feel your abdomen expand along with your chest. Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards. Some people find it comforting to talk to friends a little about what they wrote. However, it only makes you worry about the answers you can’t change. It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions. You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam. 38 Get some exercise to relax. You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress! 39 If you’re stressed out over your exam, try doing exercise like jogging, cycling or even a quick walk. Regular exercise has been shown to decrease tension and improve your sleep. 40 Regardless of your results, you should celebrate the fact that you have worked hard on your exams. Reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. If you can do it with friends, all the better. Studies have shown that spending time with friends and loved ones is an excellent way to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being. A．Spend time with positive people. B．Do something enjoyable to relax. C．Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths. D．You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do. E．The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance. F．Whatever makes you laugh will help you sort out your post-exam stress. G．It can produce endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers that boost your mood. 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。 I live with my husband Jack in Iowa, which is far away from Florida.

The guide told us the great achievements in ceramics from ancient times until today. I listened carefully to everything. 60 (date) back to Neolithic (新石器时代) period, clay was used to make pottery (陶器), 61 was used to carry water and food.

Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. " The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation.

We are born with them and need only to recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. The way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 24．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A．present an argument B．make a comparison C．reach a conclusion D．propose a definition 25．What does the example of Galileo tell us? A．Scientists tend to have varied ambitions. B．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. C．Creativity results from challenging authority. D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 26．What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent? A．Observe the unknown around you. B．Develop a questioning mind. C．Lead a life of adventure. D．Follow the fashion. 27．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．Gaining success helps you become an expert. B．The genius tends to get things done creatively. C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection. C Disastrous floods in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 people, according to local authorities. The disaster comes after a series of deadly floods around the world this month, from China to Brazil to Greece. In every case, extremely heavy rain was to blame. The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstorms, and the need for better warning systems and basic facilities to protect the most vulnerable (脆弱的) populations. Climate change makes heavy rain more common, even in dry places where the total amount of rainfall is small. That’s because a hotter atmosphere can hold more moisture. Everyday rainstorm, as well as bigger storms such as hurricanes, are increasingly dangerous as a result. In Libya, a storm called Daniel swept in from the Mediterranean over the weekend and resulted in a jaw-dropping 16 inches of rain in just 24 hour, according to the World Meteorological Organization. That is far too much water for the ground to absorb, especially in a dry climate where the soil is dry and is less able to suck up water quickly. The massive amount of rain caused widespread flash flooding, and damaged at least one dam near the coastal city of Derna. That released torrents of water powerful enough to sweep away entire neighborhoods. In Brazil, flooding from a hurricane last week killed more than 20 people and left a large piece of southern Brazil underwater. Cities around the world are hurrying to improve their basic facilities to handle increasingly common heavy rain. The disasters in the last two weeks also stress the vulnerability to climate change of people who are not wealthy or who live in places that are at war. While extreme rain has caused floods around the world recently, the number of the death is significantly higher in places where there isn’t money or political will to maintain basic facilities and enough weather warning systems. 28．What led to the floods in Libya? A．Extreme rainfall. B．Wet climate. C．Severe hurricane. D．Broken facilities. 29．What does the underlined phrase “suck up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Separate. B．Supply. C．Store. D．Absorb. 30．How do the floods affect people? A．They lead to people’s union. B．They cost people their lives. C．They inspire people to struggle. D．They make people become strong. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Floods linked to climate change. B．Floods in Libya and their causes. C．The needs of disaster preparedness. D．Climate change impact on poor areas. D People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products. “A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says. Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. “What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal. Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals. To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area. Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. 32．Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians? A．To understand health benefits of vegetarianism. B．To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion. C．To study environmental impact of vegetarianism. D．To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism. 33．What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study? A．They have the same variations. B．They determine vegetarian fat. C．They may influence vegetarianism. D．They play no role in dietary choices. 34．What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings? A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Unconcerned. D．Doubtful. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．The Benefits of Vegetarianism B．The Diet Research on Vegetarians C．Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet D．The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion 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。 It’s a nightmare having to wait for exam results. 36 If you’re stressed out after taking your exams, don’t worry! There are some steps you can take to calm down and reduce your stress. Take some deep breaths. Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response, making your breaths shallow and rapid. 37 Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen (腹部). As you breathe, you should feel your abdomen expand along with your chest. Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards. Some people find it comforting to talk to friends a little about what they wrote. However, it only makes you worry about the answers you can’t change. It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions. You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam. 38 Get some exercise to relax. You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress! 39 If you’re stressed out over your exam, try doing exercise like jogging, cycling or even a quick walk. Regular exercise has been shown to decrease tension and improve your sleep. 40 Regardless of your results, you should celebrate the fact that you have worked hard on your exams. Reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. If you can do it with friends, all the better. Studies have shown that spending time with friends and loved ones is an excellent way to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being. A．Spend time with positive people. B．Do something enjoyable to relax. C．Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths. D．You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do. E．The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance. F．Whatever makes you laugh will help you sort out your post-exam stress. G．It can produce endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers that boost your mood. 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。 I live with my husband Jack in Iowa, which is far away from Florida.

The guide told us the great achievements in ceramics from ancient times until today. I listened carefully to everything. 60 (date) back to Neolithic (新石器时代) period, clay was used to make pottery (陶器), 61 was used to carry water and food. Today, we still use porcelain but our pottery is really far more beautiful than the products of those times. 62 the second day, the team leader took us to a small DIY porcelain factory. Under the guidance of the teacher, we 63 (give) some clay and the chance to design a piece of pottery. Although our efforts were not as beautiful as the articles in the museum, they were our own work. The two-day activity was enjoyable and 64 (meaning).

Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. Very early one morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. " I'm looking for a few days' work,“ he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?" "Well as it happens there is." said the older brother. “1 do have a job for you. Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour. In fact,  it's my younger brother. Once there was a meadow（草地）between us and last week he took his bulldozer（推土机）and plowed a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to hurt me, but I'll go one better than that. See that pile of wood by the barn? I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. " The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation.

I need to save all the money I can. I just got laid off. M: I’m sorry to hear that, Miss. W: I went to Harvard and studied business. I never thought I’d be out of work when I graduated.

As you probably know, every year, young songwriters from our town enter our annual spring competition held here in the beautiful Brook Theater. When local musician Fred McGill started the event four years ago, we had no idea how much it would grow. In 2017, over 100 people sent in their songs. This year the number of people who participated doubled. It’s wonderful to see the talent and energy of the next generation. Our judges were amazed by the musical skills they saw and heard. Congratulations to all the teenagers who sent in their songs. It was a difficult choice, but our committee has made a selection. Let’s clap our hands for Maryanne James! Maryanne, where are you? Please join me on stage! There she is! Maryanne, we loved the way you sang about everything from the colors of your garden to the eyes of children. Please accept this prize. We hope it encourages you to continue writing songs when you start music school in the fall. Finally, we’d like to ask you to perform a song for our audience. 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 There are a number of events going on this weekend and in the days ahead at the Cooperage, located at 1030 Main Street in Honesdale.

I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only to recapture them. “The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. The way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 24．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A．present an argument B．make a comparison C．reach a conclusion D．propose a definition 25．What does the example of Galileo tell us? A．Scientists tend to have varied ambitions. B．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. C．Creativity results from challenging authority. D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 26．What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent? A．Observe the unknown around you. B．Develop a questioning mind. C．Lead a life of adventure. D．Follow the fashion. 27．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．Gaining success helps you become an expert. B．The genius tends to get things done creatively. C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection. 24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了好奇心和不满足感对于成功的重要性，认为这两种深层次的人类驱策力比野心更重要。文章建议我们激发好奇心和不满足感，并勇于接触新事物和挑战传统，不断提高自己。最后，文章强调现在是开始行动的最佳时机。 24．推理判断题。推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make a difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance — curiosity and discontent.(经过多年对人性的观察，我发现有两种品质决定了成就卓越的人和表现一般的人的区别：好奇和不满。)”可知，作者在第一段提出了文章的论点，告诉我们成就卓越的人和表现一般的人的区别在哪里即两种品质决定了成就卓越的人和表现一般的人的区别：好奇和不满。由此可知，写第一段内容时，作者旨在提出一个论点。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”(总之，这些人类内心深处的欲望比野心要重要得多。当伽利略从比萨斜塔上扔下不同重量的物体并计算它们落地的时间时，他不仅仅是雄心勃勃。像伽利略一样，历史上所有伟大的人物都很好奇，并不满地问：“为什么?”为什么?为什么?”)”可知，作者通过伽利略的例子告诉我们人类的强烈欲望比雄心壮志更重要，历史上所有伟大的人物，他们的成功正是因为对事物的好奇和不断探索。由此可知，伽利略的例子告诉我们伟大来自对探索的持久渴望。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段内容“ “The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.( 孟子说：“不失去孩子的心，才是伟大的人。”然而，我们大多数人都失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流。而大众只渴望平静宁静的普通人。)”以及第四段中“But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.(但一旦遇见并喜欢上了他们，我们就会想，如果我们错过了这个机会，那该有多糟糕啊。我们可能不得不强迫自己唤醒我们的好奇心和不满，并让它们保持清醒。)”可知，要唤起我们的好奇心和不满，我们需要做与段落中相反的事，即我们要不满足于现状，勇于探索，勇于提出问题。由此可知，你能通过培养质疑的思维来重新找回好奇心和不满。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. (开始的方法是回答你自己的借口。你没有什么特殊能力吗？大多数人不会；天才屈指可数。你没有时间吗？这很好，因为总是那些没有时间的人把事情做好。)”以及最后一段中“However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.(无论你如何开始，记住没有比现在更好的开始时间，因为你永远不会比此刻更有活力。)”可知，文章最后两段强调的是不要以自己没有时间和才能而不去采取行动。而是建议读者记住没有比现在更好的开始时间，因为你永远不会比此刻更有活力。故选C。 C Disastrous floods in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 people, according to local authorities. The disaster comes after a series of deadly floods around the world this month, from China to Brazil to Greece. In every case, extremely heavy rain was to blame. The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstorms, and the need for better warning systems and basic facilities to protect the most vulnerable (脆弱的) populations. Climate change makes heavy rain more common, even in dry places where the total amount of rainfall is small. That’s because a hotter atmosphere can hold more moisture. Everyday rainstorm, as well as bigger storms such as hurricanes, are increasingly dangerous as a result. In Libya, a storm called Daniel swept in from the Mediterranean over the weekend and resulted in a jaw-dropping 16 inches of rain in just 24 hour, according to the World Meteorological Organization. That is far too much water for the ground to absorb, especially in a dry climate where the soil is dry and is less able to suck up water quickly. The massive amount of rain caused widespread flash flooding, and damaged at least one dam near the coastal city of Derna. That released torrents of water powerful enough to sweep away entire neighborhoods. In Brazil, flooding from a hurricane last week killed more than 20 people and left a large piece of southern Brazil underwater. Cities around the world are hurrying to improve their basic facilities to handle increasingly common heavy rain. The disasters in the last two weeks also stress the vulnerability to climate change of people who are not wealthy or who live in places that are at war. While extreme rain has caused floods around the world recently, the number of the death is significantly higher in places where there isn’t money or political will to maintain basic facilities and enough weather warning systems. 28．What led to the floods in Libya? A．Extreme rainfall. B．Wet climate. C．Severe hurricane. D．Broken facilities. 29．What does the underlined phrase “suck up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Separate. B．Supply. C．Store. D．Absorb. 30．How do the floods affect people? A．They lead to people’s union. B．They cost people their lives. C．They inspire people to struggle. D．They make people become strong. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．Floods linked to climate change. B．Floods in Libya and their causes. C．The needs of disaster preparedness. D．Climate change impact on poor areas. 28．A 29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化导致暴雨更频繁，造成了洪水泛滥，给世界各地带来了巨大的破坏和生命损失，我们需要建立更好的预警系统和基本设施来保护这些最脆弱的人群。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Disastrous floods in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 people, according to local authorities. (据当地政府称，利比亚东部的灾难性洪水造成至少5100人死亡)”和“In every case, extremely heavy rain was to blame. (每一种情况都是极端暴雨造成的)”可知，利比亚的洪水是由极端降雨引起的。故选A项。 29．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“That is far too much water for the ground to absorb, especially in a dry climate where the soil is dry (这对土壤来说是太多的水，以至于无法吸收，尤其是在干燥气候下，干燥的土壤)”可推知，极端降雨带来的大量的雨水本身就无法被土壤吸收，此处在进一步说明干燥气候下的土壤更难吸收这些雨水，因此suck up意思应该是“吸收”，与absorb意思接近。故选D项。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstorms (许多大陆上生命的巨大损失加剧了气候驱动的暴雨造成的极端危险)”以及倒数第二段“In Brazil, flooding from a hurricane last week killed more than 20 people”（在巴西，上周飓风引发的洪水造成20多人死亡）可知，洪水夺去了人们的生命。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by climate-driven rainstorms, and the need for better warning systems and basic facilities to protect the most vulnerable (脆弱的) populations. (许多大陆上生命的巨大损失加剧了气候驱动的暴雨造成的极端危险，需要更好的预警系统和基本设施来保护最脆弱的人群)”可知，文章主要围绕气候变化带来的更频繁的暴雨造成的洪水展开，说明洪水给世界各地带来了巨大的破坏和生命损失，而我们需要建立更好的预警系统和基本设施来保护这些最脆弱的人群。因此，A项“与气候变化有关的洪水”符合文章大意。故选A项。 D People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products. “A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says. Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. “What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal. Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals. To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area. Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. 32．Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians? A．To understand health benefits of vegetarianism. B．To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion. C．To study environmental impact of vegetarianism. D．To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism. 33．What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study? A．They have the same variations. B．They determine vegetarian fat. C．They may influence vegetarianism. D．They play no role in dietary choices. 34．What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings? A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Unconcerned. D．Doubtful. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．The Benefits of Vegetarianism B．The Diet Research on Vegetarians C．Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet D．The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion 32．B 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有些人想尝试素食主义，但是往往无法坚持，一项研究显示，有些基因可能与能否坚持严格素食饮食有关，虽然该研究目前无法准确解释基因与素食者之间的关联，但是它揭示了遗传学的未知面。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中Nabeel Yaseen博士所说的话“A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to (很多想成为素食主义者的人可能做不到)”和“We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason (我们想知道遗传学是否是部分原因)”可知，Nabeel Yaseen博士研究素食主义者是为了调查基因是否对人们可以忠诚地吃素食有影响。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. (他们发现34个基因可能在坚持严格素食饮食方面发挥作用。他们确定了3个与这一特征联系更紧密的基因)”可知，根据Yaseen博士的研究，有些基因与坚持严格素食饮食有关。由此可知，基因可能影响素食主义。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. (这项研究无法准确回答基因差异是如何塑造或影响素食者的，但Yaseen博士有一些想法。他的研究揭示了遗传学的许多未知方面)”可知，虽然研究目前无法准确解释基因与素食者之间的关联，但是作者肯定了Yaseen博士的研究揭示了遗传学的未知面。由此推知，作者对其研究发现持欣赏赞许的态度。故选B项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason (我们想知道遗传学是否是部分原因)”可知，文章围绕为什么有些人无法坚持素食主义展开，介绍了一项研究显示，有些基因可能与能否坚持严格素食饮食有关。因此，D项“基因在素食忠诚中的作用”契合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选D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。 It’s a nightmare having to wait for exam results. 36 If you’re stressed out after taking your exams, don’t worry! There are some steps you can take to calm down and reduce your stress. Take some deep breaths. Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response, making your breaths shallow and rapid. 37 Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen (腹部). As you breathe, you should feel your abdomen expand along with your chest. Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards. Some people find it comforting to talk to friends a little about what they wrote. However, it only makes you worry about the answers you can’t change. It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions. You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam. 38 Get some exercise to relax. You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress! 39 If you’re stressed out over your exam, try doing exercise like jogging, cycling or even a quick walk. Regular exercise has been shown to decrease tension and improve your sleep. 40 Regardless of your results, you should celebrate the fact that you have worked hard on your exams. Reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. If you can do it with friends, all the better. Studies have shown that spending time with friends and loved ones is an excellent way to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being. A．Spend time with positive people. B．Do something enjoyable to relax. C．Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths. D．You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do. E．The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance. F．Whatever makes you laugh will help you sort out your post-exam stress. G．It can produce endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers that boost your mood. 36．E 37．C 38．D 39．G 40．B 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述针对考试后所感觉到的压力给出一些方法来缓解压力。 36．根据下文If you’re stressed out after taking your exams, don’t worry! 如果你在考试后感到压力大，不要担心! 由此可以推断上文说的是考试后的紧张情况。E选项The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance. “如果你不确定自己的表现，情况会更糟”切题，故选E。 37．根据上文Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response, making your breaths shallow and rapid. 压力和焦虑会触发你身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应，使你的呼吸急促而浅。由此推断下文应该提出的就是怎么来应对这种压力。C选项Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths. “用深呼吸来对抗这种压力反应”切题，故选C。 38．本段的主题Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards. 之后尽量不要深入复习考试内容。所以本段都是围绕主题描述尽量不要深入复习考试内容的原因，D选项You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do.“你可能会觉得你的表现比你实际表现得更糟”切题，故选D。 39．根据上文You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress! 你可能不想在考试后直接去健身房或跑步，但适度的体育活动是减轻压力的好方法！下文应该体育活动产生的效果。G选项 It can produce endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers that boost your mood. “它可以产生内啡肽（内啡肽），这是天然的止痛药，可以提高你的情绪”。故选G。 40．本段主要讲述要在考试后花一些时间做些愉快的事情，比如和亲人和朋友一起做一些喜欢的事情。B选项Do something enjoyable to relax. 做一些愉快的事情来放松，符合本段标题，故选B。 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。 I live with my husband Jack in Iowa, which is far away from Florida. One day, my husband suddenly decided to play 41 in Florida. “Why Florida?” I wanted to know. “We are so busy every day with our work.

Last year, my school held a two-day research activity, 56 (guide) by the slogan, “Exploring ceramic (陶瓷的) culture, traveling through ancient and modern times”. The aim was to build students’ 57 (aware) of traditional culture. On our way to Jingdezhen, our guide introduced 58 (we) to the basics of porcelain production. Our first stop was the Museum of Chinese Ceramics, which has 59 unique and exquisite collection of porcelain made from materials such as clay (陶土) and stone. The guide told us the great achievements in ceramics from ancient times until today. I listened carefully to everything. 60 (date) back to Neolithic (新石器时代) period, clay was used to make pottery (陶器), 61 was used to carry water and food. Today, we still use porcelain but our pottery is really far more beautiful than the products of those times. 62 the second day, the team leader took us to a small DIY porcelain factory. Under the guidance of the teacher, we 63 (give) some clay and the chance to design a piece of pottery.

It was the first serious fight in 10 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. Very early one morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. " I'm looking for a few days' work,“ he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?" "Well as it happens there is." said the older brother. “1 do have a job for you. Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour. In fact,  it's my younger brother. Once there was a meadow（草地）between us and last week he took his bulldozer（推土机）and plowed a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to hurt me, but I'll go one better than that. See that pile of wood by the barn? I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. " The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole  digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The older brother helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbour, his younger brother, was coming across the bridge merrily with his hand outstretching to the older brother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．The older brother helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring，sawing，digging and nailing. About sunset when the older brother returned，the carpenter had just finished his job. The older brother's eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all；instead there was a bridge…a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other. The neighbour，his younger brother，was coming across the bridge merrily with his hand outstretching to the older brother. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done," he said. The two brothers then met in the middle of the bridge，taking each other's hand and embraced. Their conflict was finally at an end. They then turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No，wait. Please stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, “but，I have many more bridges to build.” 【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对和睦相处的兄弟之间爆发了矛盾，当推土机铲平草地，开辟出一条小溪，两人的矛盾似乎已无可挽回。此时，一个木匠出现了，他在小溪上架起了一座桥，使兄弟两人重归于好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“哥哥帮木匠把材料准备好，然后他就上路了。”可知，第一段可描写哥哥走后，木匠是怎么工作的。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，他的邻居，也就是他的弟弟，正高兴地过桥来，伸出手给哥哥。”可知，第二段可描写哥哥和弟弟在木匠的帮助下重归于好。 2.续写线索： 哥哥离开家----木匠修桥——哥哥很惊讶——哥哥弟弟重归于好——感谢木匠 3.词汇激活 行为类①拥抱：embrace/hug/hold in one's arms: ②.回家： return/go back情绪类冲突：conflict/quarrel 【点睛】[高分句型1]. About sunset when the older brother returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.（由连接词when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2]. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring，sawing，digging and nailing.（现在分词做伴随状语） 试卷第6页，共7页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期期中模拟卷 参考答案 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B C A B A A B C A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A C C B A B B C B 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分， 满分50分） 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 A C B A D B C A D B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 A B C B D E C D G B 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） 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B B A A D C D C B C 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 A D A B C 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．guided 57．awareness 58．us 59．a 60．Dating 61．which 62．On 63．were given 64．meaningful 65．made 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．Dear Lucy, How are you getting on these days?
