B By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their work. B. To form the connection between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Short-lived. C. Popular. D. Unpromising. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. C It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us dumb (迟钝的). Now there is evidence for it. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin discovered that people are worse at completing tasks and remembering information if a smart phone is within sight. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or a handbag would distract (使分心) users and lead to worse test scores even when they were set up not to disturb test subjects. The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when they were in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. They were told to complete tests in mathematics, memory and reasoning with their smart phones either on their desks, in their bags or pockets, or in another room. Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 percent lower score than those who left them in a different room. Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly better than those whose phones were placed on desks. The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within sight was greater among those who said they were dependent on their smart phones. It was also found that phones could distract users even when they were turned off or when they were placed face down. The researchers said the effect arises because part of the smart phone users’ mind is trying not to think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the smart phone is in their line of sight. Similar research has previously shown that smart phones can lead a “butterfly brain effect” on users that can cause mental blunders (错误). 8. The researchers at the University of Texas carries out the study to test . A. where smart phones should be placed B. who were dependent on smart phones C. university students’ daily use of smart phones D. smart phones’ effect on students’ intelligence and memory 9. What can we learn from the experiments? A. Smart phones don’t affect students if put out of sight. B. Smart phones don’t distract students when turned off. C. Students got lower scores in the presence of smart phones. D. Students were distracted no matter where their phones were placed. 10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. The cause of the problem. B. The butterfly brain effect. C. The mental blunders. D. The future research. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The harm of smart phones B. Smart phones make us dumb C. Limit our use of smart phones D. The problem of smart phone addiction D If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s door to the stomach. In a study published recently in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of ancient human beings to find out what they were really eating. They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑). The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different. Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees and bushes leave another kind because they photosynthesize(进行光合作用)differently. Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls to figure out what early humans ate. Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves. But this was proved wrong. The best example was the Paranthropus(傍人属类人猿), one of our close cousins, some of whom lived in eastern Africa. Scientists used to believe that they ate nuts, fruits and seeds because they had big crests(突起)on their skulls, suggesting that they had large chewing muscles and big teeth. If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon. They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds. However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthropus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics. The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits. This suggested they probably ate grass, not nuts and seeds. It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find. Carbon “footprints” give us a completely new and different understanding of what different species ate and the different environments they lived in, which also provide a groundbreaking perspective on the diets and habitats of various species. This method has reshaped our understanding of ancient human diets, challenging previous assumptions based on tooth and skull morphology. 12. Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence? A. Anthropologists can know the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth. B. Anthropologists can find out the diet of early humans by studying their teeth. C. Anthropologists can learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth. D. Anthropologists can get the most useful information about humans from their teeth. 13. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves. B. Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds. C. Different foods leave different marks and carbon on teeth. D. Early humans with hard and sharp teeth at e meat and leaves. 14. Why is the example of the Paranthropus mentioned? A. To show they had different eating habits from other humans. B. To prove living environment makes a difference to skull structure. C. To demonstrate they were one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa. D. To reveal the size and shape of teeth don’t show accurately what early humans ate. 15. Which structural element does the author mainly use to develop the passage? A. Cause and effect. B. Problem and solution. C Comparison and contrast. D. Listing and classification. 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。 Let’s begin with a question: If you had to make one life choice, right now, to set yourself on the path to future happiness, what would it be?

Alex, who lived in a suburban neighborhood, was getting ready for bed when he heard the sound of fire alarms and screams coming from the outside. He quickly realized that there was a fire in his neighborhood and that his neighbors might be in danger. He looked outside and saw that one of his neighbors’ houses was on fire. He knew that he had to act quickly to help his neighbors. After calling 911, he ran outside and heard his neighbors’ little son crying inside their burning house. “He must be quite scared,” Alex thought. Alex quickly assessed the situation and found that the house was almost surrounded by flames (火焰). The best way out was through the front door, but it was blocked by fire as well. He knew that he had to find another way to help the boy escape. He ran back to his house, grabbed a ladder and then rushed toward his neighbors’ house. He placed the ladder against the second-story window and managed to help the little boy climb down to safety. Once the boy was safe on the ground, Alex climbed up into the burning house again to see if anyone else was trapped. As he made his way through the smoke, he heard cries for help from a bedroom on the third floor. He quickly ran up the stairs and found an elderly woman who was too weak to move. Alex quickly picked her up and carried her down the stairs to safety. By this time, many firemen had arrived, and they managed to put out the flames. Looking around, Alex saw that other houses in the neighborhood were also on fire. He realized that the fire was spreading quickly and that more people needed help. Without hesitation, Alex joined those firemen, who were working tirelessly to put out the flames. He helped elderly neighbors, families with young children, and even pets. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After hours of effort, fortunately, the fire was finally put out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he woke up the next morning, he found his action didn’t go unnoticed by his school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 咸阳市实验中学2024~2025学年度第一学期第一次月考 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试题共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理;试题不回收。 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。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their work. B. To form the connection between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Short-lived. C. Popular. D. Unpromising. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁的多伦多青少年纳林·卡马特因为无法参加评审展览而受挫，但这激发了他为更多年轻艺术家提供展示机会的决心。在父母的支持下，他创办了Little EGG Gallery的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”可知，Nalin Kamat因为年龄问题而被取消了参加评审展览的资格。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.(“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery，现在这家画廊通过向任何展示的作品收取小额悬挂费，已经足够盈利来维持生计了。)”可知，他创办Little EGG Gallery的目的是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery(那次拒绝成为了他创作的动力。“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery。)”根据第四段“a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void ( 空白) in the art world.”（一个有着非常优秀想法的强大年轻艺术家——为展示年轻人的天才创造了一个空间。这是艺术界的一个空白）可知，Nalin想要为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，于是他租了一个店面并创办了Little EGG Gallery，这是一个创新的想法，因此可以用pioneering（开创性的）来形容他的想法。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.(到纳林·卡马特13岁时，这位多伦多少年已经踏上了成为职业艺术家的道路。)”、根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”和文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery(那次拒绝成为了他创作的动力。“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery。)”可知，Nalin Kamat在13岁时就举办了自己的画展，并且因为无法参加评审展览而创办了Little EGG Gallery，展示年轻艺术家的作品。这些行为表明他是一个有创造力和奉献精神的人，因此选项B：Devoted and creative(有奉献精神和创造力的)最符合他的特点。故选B。 C It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us dumb (迟钝的). Now there is evidence for it. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin discovered that people are worse at completing tasks and remembering information if a smart phone is within sight. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or a handbag would distract (使分心) users and lead to worse test scores even when they were set up not to disturb test subjects. The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when they were in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. They were told to complete tests in mathematics, memory and reasoning with their smart phones either on their desks, in their bags or pockets, or in another room. Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 percent lower score than those who left them in a different room. Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly better than those whose phones were placed on desks. The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within sight was greater among those who said they were dependent on their smart phones. It was also found that phones could distract users even when they were turned off or when they were placed face down. The researchers said the effect arises because part of the smart phone users’ mind is trying not to think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the smart phone is in their line of sight. Similar research has previously shown that smart phones can lead a “butterfly brain effect” on users that can cause mental blunders (错误). 8. The researchers at the University of Texas carries out the study to test . A. where smart phones should be placed B. who were dependent on smart phones C. university students’ daily use of smart phones D. smart phones’ effect on students’ intelligence and memory 9. What can we learn from the experiments? A. Smart phones don’t affect students if put out of sight. B. Smart phones don’t distract students when turned off. C. Students got lower scores in the presence of smart phones. D. Students were distracted no matter where their phones were placed. 10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. The cause of the problem. B. The butterfly brain effect. C. The mental blunders. D. The future research. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The harm of smart phones B. Smart phones make us dumb C. Limit our use of smart phones D. The problem of smart phone addiction 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，智能手机会降低人们的智力和注意力，从而会让我们变得迟钝。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when they were in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. (研究人员对520名大学生在使用智能手机时的记忆力和智力进行了测试，以了解智能手机对他们的影响。)”可知，研究者主要研究智能手机对学生智力和记忆的影响。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 percent lower score than those who left them in a different room. (那些把手机放在桌子上的人的得分比那些把手机留在另一个房间的人低10%。)”可知，学生们在有智能手机的情况下得分较低。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Similar research has previously shown that smart phones can lead a‘butterfly brain effect’ on users that can cause mental blunders (错误).(此前类似的研究表明，智能手机会对用户产生‘蝴蝶大脑效应’，从而导致精神错误。)”可知，下段可能会讲‘蝴蝶大脑效应’。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us dumb (迟钝的). Now there is evidence for it.(长期以来，人们一直认为口袋里的智能手机实际上让我们变得迟钝。现在有证据证明了这一点。)”和第二段“Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin discovered that people are worse at completing tasks and remembering information if a smart phone is within sight. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or a handbag would distract (使分心) users and lead to worse test scores even when they were set up not to disturb test subjects.(得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员发现，如果智能手机在视线范围内，人们在完成任务和记忆信息方面会更差。在两项实验中，他们发现放在桌子上，甚至放在口袋或手提包里的手机会分散用户的注意力，并导致更差的考试成绩，即使它们被设置为不打扰受试者。)”以及后文可知，本文讲研究表明，智能手机实际上降低人们的智力和注意力，从而会让我们变得迟钝，所以B项Smart phones make us dumb(智能手机让我们变迟钝)符合语境。故选B项。 D If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s door to the stomach. In a study published recently in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of ancient human beings to find out what they were really eating. They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑). The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different. Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees and bushes leave another kind because they photosynthesize(进行光合作用)differently. Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls to figure out what early humans ate. Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves. But this was proved wrong. The best example was the Paranthropus(傍人属类人猿), one of our close cousins, some of whom lived in eastern Africa. Scientists used to believe that they ate nuts, fruits and seeds because they had big crests(突起)on their skulls, suggesting that they had large chewing muscles and big teeth. If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon. They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds. However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthropus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics. The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits. This suggested they probably ate grass, not nuts and seeds. It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find. Carbon “footprints” give us a completely new and different understanding of what different species ate and the different environments they lived in, which also provide a groundbreaking perspective on the diets and habitats of various species. This method has reshaped our understanding of ancient human diets, challenging previous assumptions based on tooth and skull morphology. 12. Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence? A. Anthropologists can know the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth. B. Anthropologists can find out the diet of early humans by studying their teeth. C. Anthropologists can learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth. D. Anthropologists can get the most useful information about humans from their teeth. 13. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves. B. Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds. C. Different foods leave different marks and carbon on teeth. D. Early humans with hard and sharp teeth at e meat and leaves. 14. Why is the example of the Paranthropus mentioned? A. To show they had different eating habits from other humans. B. To prove living environment makes a difference to skull structure. C. To demonstrate they were one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa. D. To reveal the size and shape of teeth don’t show accurately what early humans ate. 15. Which structural element does the author mainly use to develop the passage? A. Cause and effect. B. Problem and solution. C. Comparison and contrast. D. Listing and classification. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类学家可以通过研究早期人类的牙齿来发现他们的饮食，文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及对此进行了举例说明。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In a study published last month in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of our early human ancestors to find out what they were really eating.(在上个月发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究中，阿肯色大学的Peter Ungar和他的搭档，美国科罗拉多大学的Matt Sponheimer检查了我们早期人类祖先的牙齿，以找出他们真正吃的是什么)”可知，如果说眼睛是浪漫主义者通向灵魂的窗户，那么人类学家也可以通过牙齿来了解早期人类的饮食。故划线部分意思是“人类学家可以通过研究早期人类的牙齿来发现他们的饮食”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits (坑).The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different.(他们已经知道，不同的食物会在牙齿上留下不同的印记。有些会造成划痕，有些会造成凹坑。不同食物留在牙齿上的碳也是不同的)”可知，选项“不同的食物在牙齿上留下不同的痕迹和碳”正确。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls (头骨) to figure out what early humans ate. Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves. But this was proven wrong.(传统上，科学家们通过观察牙齿和头骨的大小和形状来弄清楚早期人类吃什么。大而扁平的牙齿被认为是它们吃坚果和种子的标志，而坚硬而锋利的牙齿似乎适合切肉和树叶。但事实证明这是错误的)”以及第五段“The best example was the Paranthropus (傍人), one of our close cousins, some of which lived in eastern Africa.(最好的例子是傍人猿，我们的近亲之一，其中一些生活在非洲东部)”可推知，提到的傍人猿的例子是为了告诉我们牙齿的大小和形状并不能准确地显示早期人类吃什么。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑). The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different.”（他们已经知道，不同的食物会在牙齿上留下不同的印记。有些会造成划痕，有些会造成坑。不同食物留在牙齿上的碳也是不同的）根据第六段“However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthropus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics. The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits. This suggested they probably ate grass, not nuts and seeds. It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find.”（ 然而，当两位科学家研究傍人猿时，发现它没有这些特征。这些牙齿含有不同种类的碳，上面布满了划痕，而不是凹坑。这表明它们可能吃草，而不是坚果和种子。这与人们预期的结果完全相反。）可知，短文是通过比较和对比来行文的。故选C。 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。 Let’s begin with a question: If you had to make one life choice, right now, to set yourself on the path to future happiness, what would it be?

These are common and practical goals that extend across generations and borders. ___19___. even though most of us understand that these things do not necessarily make for a happy life on their own. All day long we were surrounded by messages about what will make us happy. If a friend buys a new car, we might wonder if a newer car would make our own life better. As we scroll social media feeds, seeing only pictures of fantastic parties, we might wonder if our own life is lacking in parties. Over time, therefore, we develop the feeling that our life is here, now, and the things we need for a good life are over there, or in the future. ___20___. However, the truth is: The good life is a complicated life. The good life is a process. It includes sorrows, joys, calm, lightness, burdens, struggles, achievements, setbacks, leaps forward, and terrible falls. A. Always just out of reach B. Fame was now lower on the list C. Would you decide to travel more D. What have you achieved in the past years E. It’s only human nature to pursue material comforts F.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。我们总认为幸福的生活离我们很遥远，其实，美好的生活就在于珍惜当下、享受过程。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Would you choose to put more money into savings each month? To change careers?(你会选择每个月存更多的钱吗？换工作？)”以及后文“What single choice could best ensure that when you reach your final days and look back, you’ll feel that you’ve lived a good life?(当你走到生命的最后一天，回首往事，你会觉得自己过得很好，有什么选择能最好地确保这一点呢？)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是针对幸福的设问句。故C选项“你会决定多出去旅游吗”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Seventy-six percent said that becoming rich was their number one goal. Fifty percent said a major goal was to become famous.(76%的人表示，致富是他们的首要目标。50%的人说他们的主要目标是成名)”可知，后文主要列举了调查结果关于目标的调查情况。故G选项“在2007年的一项调查中，千禧一代被问及他们最重要的人生目标是什么”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Seventy-six percent said that becoming rich was their number one goal. Fifty percent said a major goal was to become famous. More than a decade later, after millennials (千禧一代) had spent more time as adults, similar questions were asked again.(76%的人表示，致富是他们的首要目标。50%的人说他们的主要目标是成名。十多年后，在千禧一代成年后，类似的问题再次被问到)”以及后文“but the top goals again included things like making money, having a successful career, and becoming debt-free.(但最重要的目标还是包括赚钱、事业有成和摆脱债务)”可知，千禧一代中成名不再重要了，下文but the top goals暗示这里在谈论人们追求的目标，fame与making money 以及having a successful career都属于此范畴，故B选项“名声现在排名靠后了”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“even though most of us understand that these things do not necessarily make for a happy life on their own. (尽管我们大多数人都明白，这些事情本身并不一定能让我们过上幸福的生活)”可知，下句中的 these things暗示上句提到了一些并列的事物，故F选项“人生的成功通常是用头衔、薪水和成就来衡量的”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Over time, therefore, we develop the feeling that our life is here, now, and the things we need for a good life are over there, or in the future.(因此，随着时间的推移，我们会产生这样一种感觉:我们的生活就在这里，现在，而我们需要的美好生活的东西在那里，或者在未来)”可知，上句指出我们渴望的美好生活总是可望而不可得，遥不可及，本句是对此意的进一步补充说明。故A选项“总是够不着”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15 小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past 18 years, my daughter has been around me all the time.

Alex, who lived in a suburban neighborhood, was getting ready for bed when he heard the sound of fire alarms and screams coming from the outside. He quickly realized that there was a fire in his neighborhood and that his neighbors might be in danger. He looked outside and saw that one of his neighbors’ houses was on fire. He knew that he had to act quickly to help his neighbors. After calling 911, he ran outside and heard his neighbors’ little son crying inside their burning house. “He must be quite scared,” Alex thought. Alex quickly assessed the situation and found that the house was almost surrounded by flames (火焰). The best way out was through the front door, but it was blocked by fire as well. He knew that he had to find another way to help the boy escape. He ran back to his house, grabbed a ladder and then rushed toward his neighbors’ house. He placed the ladder against the second-story window and managed to help the little boy climb down to safety. Once the boy was safe on the ground, Alex climbed up into the burning house again to see if anyone else was trapped. As he made his way through the smoke, he heard cries for help from a bedroom on the third floor. He quickly ran up the stairs and found an elderly woman who was too weak to move. Alex quickly picked her up and carried her down the stairs to safety. By this time, many firemen had arrived, and they managed to put out the flames. Looking around Alex saw that other houses in the neighborhood were also on fire. He realized that the fire was spreading quickly and that more people needed help. Without hesitation, Alex joined those firemen, who were working tirelessly to put out the flames. He helped elderly neighbors, families with young children, and even pets. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式相应位置作答。 After hours of effort, fortunately, the fire was finally put out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he woke up the next morning, he found his action didn’t go unnoticed by his school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After hours of effort, fortunately, the fire was finally put out. Alex breathed a sigh of relief, excited tears streaming down his cheeks. His neighbors who lived through the fire couldn’t help but thank him and the firefighters for their timely rescue. The gentle moonlight was shinning on everyone’s face, recording this extraordinary night. Exhaustion began to set in, but a flush of warmth surged through Alex’s mind. Having made sure everyone was safe, he quietly left the scene, went back to his room and climbed into his bed to enjoy a sound sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he found his action didn’t go unnoticed by his school. A call from his principal came announcing he was awarded the title of School Hero. “But for your bravery, the neighbourhood would have suffered great losses,” the principal expressed his admiration. Joy of being recognized welled up in Alex’s heart. But for him, the greatest award was that he had made a difference in others’ lives. The fire also taught Alex an important lesson about the power of community. He became convinced that with kindness, bravery and willingness to help, nothing was impossible for a community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了住在郊区的亚历克斯救助被困在燃烧的房子里的小孩和老人。亚历克斯环顾四周，发现附近的其他房子也着火了。他意识到火势正在迅速蔓延，更多的人需要帮助。亚历克斯毫不犹豫地加入了那些不知疲倦地灭火的消防员队伍中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是，经过几个小时的努力，火终于被扑灭了。”可知，第一段可描写经历过火灾的邻居们都忍不住要感谢他和消防员们的及时救援以及亚历克斯感到欣悄悄离开现场回到了自己的家 ②由第二段首句内容“当他第二天早上醒来时，他发现他的行为并没有被学校忽视”可知，第二段可描写校长打来电话赞扬了亚历克斯的行为以及亚历克斯的感悟。 2.续写线索：帮助救援——邻居感谢——悄悄离开——校长赞扬——感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 ①感谢：thank /appreciate ②开始：begin/start ③确保：make sure/ensure 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/ thrilled ②喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] His neighbors who lived through the fire couldn’t help but thank him and the firefighters for their timely rescue.
