It was 2023 and I had just climbed the Hvannadals Peak in Iceland, almost seven years after becoming paralyzed from the chest down after a climbing fall. My two teammates and I were on our way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe’s largest ice cap, the mighty Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted. A year before, when Niall McCann first suggested making the 100–mile trip, I was excited by the prospect of returning to this lost world of crevasses (冰裂缝), mountains and ice, but upset and anxious about whether I’d struggle. Back then, I still would have given anything for my legs to work and to be able to walk again. But I was eager for adventure and signed on to do the trip with McCann, who had broken his back when paragliding, and EdJackson, a former professional rugby player who had broken his neck in 2017. This was going to be the toughest challenge of my life. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization — and closer to the man I’d once been. My mind drifted to the last time I was on a mountain before my accident, climbing Monte Rosa in the Italian Alps and feeling the addictive mixture of excitement and trepidation. Those same emotions returned as we battled through powerful storms and hidden crevasses before we reached the ice cap’s highest point. I was at the top when I was hit by an unexpected wave of emotion. I realized that, despite all that I had been through — all the challenges and setbacks I had faced — if someone asked me if I wanted my legs back, I would have said no. That moment affected every aspect of my life and the way I perceived my disability. No longer did I consider myself disabled or injured, because, if I could reach the summit of a remote ice cap, I could overcome the frustrations and setbacks of day-to-day life with resilience and persistence. Yes, I do still have a life-changing injury — but, for me, it’s been for the better. 4. What can you know about the team? A. It got assistance from an organization. B. Its members all had a form of disability. C. It followed the steps of a similar previous team. D. It consisted of people paralyzed down the chest. 5. What might have really caused the writer to hesitate about the trip? A. His paralyzed legs. B. Fear of potential danger. C. The lost world of ice. D. Lack of proper equipment. 6. What’s does the underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fear. B. Bravery. C. Happiness. D. Disappointment. 7. What did the writer think of his injury after he made it to the top? A. It left him nothing but all setbacks. B. It caused his unexpected bad emotion. C. He wouldn’t know his potential otherwise. D. He was tortured by the frustrations it caused. C OpenAI on Thursday announced its most direct threat yet to its strong Big Tech rivals: a search engine that uses artificial intelligence built in from the beginning. The company is testing SearchGPT, which will combine its AI technology with real-time information from the web to allow people to search for information in the same way they talk to ChatGPT. The search engine is currently in an early test for a limited number of users. With the new feature, OpenAI will be directly competing with Google, which has for years dominated the online search market. SearchGPT could also pose a threat to Microsoft. With SearchGPT, users will be able to ask questions in natural language, and they’ll receive answers that they can then follow up on with additional questions. But unlike ChatGPT, which is often reliant on older data to generate its answers, SearchGPT will provide up-to-date information, with online links to what the company says are “clear and relevant sources.” The tool will also show a sidebar with additional links to relevant information. The OpenAI search engine could promote generative AI after Google has experimented with early efforts to incorporate chatbots and AI-generated answers into the search experience. But Google quickly pulled back on use of the feature after it provided false and in some cases totally nonsensical information, in response to some users’ queries. The launch of Google’s tool also raised concerns among some news publishers and similar concerns could arise with OpenAI’s search engine. However, OpenAI said Thursday that it partnered with publishers to build the tool and give them options to “manage how they appear” in SearchGPT’s results. 8. What can be learned about SearchGPT from paragraph 2? A. It is not well-developed and still under test. B. It challenges Google, but beats Microsoft. C. Lots of users have tried it online up to now. D. It has controlled the online search market for years. 9. Which is the advantage of SearchGPT? A. Provision of infinite questions. B. Easy access based on previous data. C. Natural communication via ChatGPT. D. Latest information with additional links 10. What is OpenAI’s attitude towards SearchGPT’s result? A. Dismissive. B. Positive. C. Suspicious. D. Indifferent. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. OpenAI Will Combine Search Engine and ChatGPT B. SearchGPT Becomes Popular among Users Currently C. OpenAI Is Taking on Google with a New Artificial Intelligence Search Engine D. Google’s Launch of AI Search Engine Was a Failure Due to False Information D In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration. Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely. Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements. But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course. Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.” 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. It describes animals’ habitats. B. It talks about migration models. C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology. 13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The opening for learning and practice. B. The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters. C. The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns. D. The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements. 14. What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters? A. They travel as much as adult birds. B. They move in a predictable manner. C. They lower the speed for exploration. D. They look for a course with their parents. 15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Man-made changes make migration easier. B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track. C. Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability. D. A combination of strategies assures migration success. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me. With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV. Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good, Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.” With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?” I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited. I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said， “What do you want?” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know my face. That’s all I’m asking.” I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered，“Sure!” 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。 Paragraph 1: When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ACCBA 6-10 ACCBA 11-15 BCACB 16-20 BABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-9温州人文高级中学高二年级9月月考 英语学科 试题卷 考生须知： 1．本卷共8页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟; 2．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号及准考证号并填涂相应数字; 3．所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效; 4．考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 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涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段短对话。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。听完每段对话中，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．What makes the man feel surprised?

It was 2023 and I had just climbed the Hvannadals Peak in Iceland, almost seven years after becoming paralyzed from the chest down after a climbing fall. My two teammates and I were on our way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe’s largest ice cap, the mighty Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted. A year before, when Niall McCann first suggested making the 100–mile trip, I was excited by the prospect of returning to this lost world of crevasses (冰裂缝), mountains and ice, but upset and anxious about whether I’d struggle. Back then, I still would have given anything for my legs to work and to be able to walk again. But I was eager for adventure and signed on to do the trip with McCann, who had broken his back when paragliding, and EdJackson, a former professional rugby player who had broken his neck in 2017. This was going to be the toughest challenge of my life. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization — and closer to the man I’d once been. My mind drifted to the last time I was on a mountain before my accident, climbing Monte Rosa in the Italian Alps and feeling the addictive mixture of excitement and trepidation. Those same emotions returned as we battled through powerful storms and hidden crevasses before we reached the ice cap’s highest point. I was at the top when I was hit by an unexpected wave of emotion. I realized that, despite all that I had been through — all the challenges and setbacks I had faced — if someone asked me if I wanted my legs back, I would have said no. That moment affected every aspect of my life and the way I perceived my disability. No longer did I consider myself disabled or injured, because, if I could reach the summit of a remote ice cap, I could overcome the frustrations and setbacks of day-to-day life with resilience and persistence. Yes, I do still have a life-changing injury — but, for me, it’s been for the better. 4. What can you know about the team? A. It got assistance from an organization. B. Its members all had a form of disability. C. It followed the steps of a similar previous team. D. It consisted of people paralyzed down the chest. 5. What might have really caused the writer to hesitate about the trip? A. His paralyzed legs. B. Fear of potential danger. C. The lost world of ice. D. Lack of proper equipment. 6. What’s does the underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fear. B. Bravery. C. Happiness. D. Disappointment. 7. What did the writer think of his injury after he made it to the top? A. It left him nothing but all setbacks. B. It caused his unexpected bad emotion. C. He wouldn’t know his potential otherwise. D. He was tortured by the frustrations it caused. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作为在攀岩坠落后胸部以下瘫痪的登山爱好者，作者与两位同样身有残疾的队友挑战欧洲最大冰盖——瓦特纳冰川的壮举。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My two teammates and I were on our way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe’s largest ice cap, the mighty Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted.(我和我两名队友正在成为第一支在无人支持的情况下穿越欧洲大冰盖——强大的瓦特纳冰川的全残疾人队伍)”以及第二段“But I was eager for adventure and signed on to do the trip with McCann, who had broken his back when paragliding, and EdJackson, a former professional rugby player who had broken his neck in 2017.(但我渴望冒险，并与在滑翔伞时摔断背部的麦肯和在2017年摔断脖子的前职业橄榄球运动员埃德·杰克逊签约进行这次旅行)”可知，这支队伍的成员都有某种形式的残疾。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was 2023 and I had just climbed the Hvannadals Peak in Iceland, almost seven years after becoming paralyzed from the chest down after a climbing fall.(那是2023年，我刚刚爬上冰岛的Hvannadals峰，在一次攀爬摔倒后胸部以下瘫痪了将近七年)”以及第二段“A year before, when Niall McCann first suggested making the 100–mile trip, I was excited by the prospect of returning to this lost world of crevasses (冰裂缝), mountains and ice, but upset and anxious about whether I’d struggle.(一年前，当尼尔·麦肯第一次建议进行100英里的旅行时，我对重返这个由裂缝、山脉和冰组成的失落世界的前景感到兴奋，但对自己是否会挣扎感到沮丧和焦虑)”可知，由于作者胸部以下瘫痪，所以作者感到焦虑，对这次旅行犹豫不决。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“My mind drifted to the last time I was on a mountain before my accident, climbing Monte Rosa in the Italian Alps and feeling the addictive mixture of excitement and trepidation. Those same emotions returned as we battled through powerful storms and hidden crevasses before we reached the ice cap’s highest point.(我的思绪飘到了事故发生前我最后一次在山上，爬上意大利阿尔卑斯山的罗莎山，感受到兴奋和trepidation的混合。当我们在到达冰盖的最高点之前，经历了强大的风暴和隐藏的裂缝，同样的情绪又回来了)”可知，作者想到自己事故发生前最后一次在山上感受的情绪，作者经历了强大的风暴和隐藏的裂缝，出现了同样的情绪，推测作者的感受是既兴奋又恐惧的，划线单词表示“恐惧”，与fear意义相近。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That moment affected every aspect of my life and the way I perceived my disability. No longer did I consider myself disabled or injured, because, if I could reach the summit of a remote ice cap, I could overcome the frustrations and setbacks of day-to-day life with resilience and persistence.(那一刻影响了我生活的方方面面，也影响了我对残疾的看法。我不再认为自己残疾或受伤，因为如果我能登上遥远的冰盖顶峰，我就能以坚韧和毅力克服日常生活中的沮丧和挫折)”可知，登上顶峰后，作者意识到如果不是因为这次受伤，自己就不会认识到自己能够以韧性及坚持克服日常生活中的挫折。故选C项。 C OpenAI on Thursday announced its most direct threat yet to its strong Big Tech rivals: a search engine that uses artificial intelligence built in from the beginning. The company is testing SearchGPT, which will combine its AI technology with real-time information from the web to allow people to search for information in the same way they talk to ChatGPT. The search engine is currently in an early test for a limited number of users. With the new feature, OpenAI will be directly competing with Google, which has for years dominated the online search market. SearchGPT could also pose a threat to Microsoft. With SearchGPT, users will be able to ask questions in natural language, and they’ll receive answers that they can then follow up on with additional questions. But unlike ChatGPT, which is often reliant on older data to generate its answers, SearchGPT will provide up-to-date information, with online links to what the company says are “clear and relevant sources.” The tool will also show a sidebar with additional links to relevant information. The OpenAI search engine could promote generative AI after Google has experimented with early efforts to incorporate chatbots and AI-generated answers into the search experience. But Google quickly pulled back on use of the feature after it provided false, and in some cases totally nonsensical information, in response to some users’ queries. The launch of Google’s tool also raised concerns among some news publishers and similar concerns could arise with OpenAI’s search engine. However, OpenAI said Thursday that it partnered with publishers to build the tool and give them options to “manage how they appear” in SearchGPT’s results. 8. What can be learned about SearchGPT from paragraph 2? A. It is not well-developed and still under test. B. It challenges Google, but beats Microsoft. C. Lots of users have tried it online up to now. D. It has controlled the online search market for years. 9. Which is the advantage of SearchGPT? A. Provision of infinite questions. B. Easy access based on previous data. C. Natural communication via ChatGPT. D. Latest information with additional links 10. What is OpenAI’s attitude towards SearchGPT’s result? A. Dismissive. B. Positive. C. Suspicious. D. Indifferent. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. OpenAI Will Combine Search Engine and ChatGPT B. SearchGPT Becomes Popular among Users Currently C. OpenAI Is Taking on Google with a New Artificial Intelligence Search Engine D. Google’s Launch of AI Search Engine Was a Failure Due to False Information 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了OpenAI开发了搜索引擎SearchGPT，来挑战谷歌，介绍了SearchGPT的一些优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The search engine is currently in an early test for a limited number of users.(该搜索引擎目前还处于面向有限用户的早期测试阶段)”可知，SearchGPT还不完善，还在测试中。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But unlike ChatGPT, which is often reliant on older data to generate its answers, SearchGPT will provide up-to-date information, with online links to what the company says are “clear and relevant sources.”The tool will also show a sidebar with additional links to relevant information.(但与ChatGPT不同的是，它通常依赖于较旧的数据来生成答案，而SearchGPT将提供最新的信息，并提供该公司所说的“清晰且相关的来源”的在线链接。该工具还将显示一个侧边栏，其中包含指向相关信息的附加链接)”可知，SearchGPT的优势是附有附加链接的最新信息。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“With the new feature, OpenAI will be directly competing with Google, which has for years dominated the online search market. SearchGPT could also pose a threat to Microsoft.(有了这项新功能，OpenAI将与多年来主导在线搜索市场的谷歌展开直接竞争。SearchGPT也可能对微软构成威胁)”以及第三段“But unlike ChatGPT, which is often reliant on older data to generate its answers, SearchGPT will provide up-to-date information, with online links to what the company says are “clear and relevant sources.”(但与ChatGPT不同的是，它通常依赖于较旧的数据来生成答案，而SearchGPT将提供最新的信息，并提供该公司所说的“清晰且相关的来源”的在线链接)”和最后一段“However, OpenAI said Thursday that it partnered with publishers to build the tool and give them options to “manage how they appear” in SearchGPT’s results.(然而，OpenAI周四表示，它与出版商合作开发了这个工具，并为他们提供了“管理他们在SearchGPT结果中的显示方式”的选项)”可知，OpenAI对SearchGPT结果的态度是积极的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“OpenAI on Thursday announced its most direct threat yet to its strong Big Tech rivals: a search engine that uses artificial intelligence built in from the beginning.(周四，OpenAI宣布了迄今为止对其强大的科技巨头竞争对手最直接的威胁：一个从一开始就使用内置人工智能的搜索引擎)”结合文章主要说明了OpenAI开发了搜索引擎SearchGPT，来挑战谷歌，介绍了SearchGPT的一些优势。可知，C选项“OpenAI用新的人工智能搜索引擎挑战谷歌”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration. Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely. Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements. But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course. Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.” 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. It describes animals’ habitats. B. It talks about migration models. C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology. 13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The opening for learning and practice. B. The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters. C. The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns. D. The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements. 14. What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters? A. They travel as much as adult birds. B. They move in a predictable manner. C. They lower the speed for exploration. D. They look for a course with their parents. 15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Man-made changes make migration easier. B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track. C. Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability. D. A combination of strategies assures migration success. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对Cory海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.(鲸鱼和鹅等野生动物通过跟随父母学习迁徙路线。其他鸟类，包括小型鸣禽，通过遗传密码获得迁徙的距离和方向。有些动物利用基因和文化的结合来指导它们的迁徙。)”可知，本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns.(Cory的海鸥寿命很长，很少能在9岁之前成功繁殖后代。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式留下了空间。)”和“Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”(研究人员称之为“探索-精炼”。)”可知，此处指研究人员称这种模式为“探索－精炼”，第三段中划线的 this指代的是Cory海鸥形成迁徙模式的方式。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.(小的Cory海鸥能飞得和成年海鸥一样快——但它们没有，这表明年轻的海鸥会进行更多的探索，随着它们成熟并适应一个更喜欢的航线，这种探索会逐渐消失。)”可知，Letizia的研究发现小Cory海鸥为了探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms (生物) in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei.(Barbara Frei说，尽管与其他策略相比，这种方法似乎效率较低，但“在一个由于不可预测的人为变化而迅速变化的世界中，探索改进可能对鸟类和其他生物有益。”)”可知，路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

(有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入的最佳选项。 The sun was beginning to sink as I set off into the Harenna Forest.

Removing 43. attracted 44 scientific 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了著名的作家查尔斯·狄更斯对文学的贡献。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：1812年，查尔斯·狄更斯出生的那一年，英国出版了66部小说。句子中已经有谓语动词，因此空格处需要填入非谓语动词；publish与novel之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词表示被动。故填published。 【37题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：人们写小说已经有一个世纪了——大多数专家认为第一部小说是1719年的《鲁滨逊漂流记》——但没有人想把它作为职业。want to do sth.想要做某事。故填to do。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：许多小说作品没有作者的名字，通常加上“一位女士”之类的东西。根据后句“通常加上“一位女士”之类的东西”可知，此处指的是没有作者的名词。without表示“没有”。故填without。 【39题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：小说，在很大程度上，被认为是愚蠢的，不道德的，或者就是纯粹的坏。此处是被看作，所以需要使用被动语态；本句中描述的是过去的事情，所以用一般过去时的被动语态；主语为复数，所以be动词用were。故填were looked。 【40题详解】 考查代词。句意：1870年，当狄更斯去世时，全世界都在悼念他，因为他是第一位职业作家和出版人，他很有名，很受爱戴，他引领了小说出版和读者数量的爆炸式增长。空格处位于名词之前，因此需要填入形容词性物主代词，修饰名词。故填its。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：1870年，当狄更斯去世时，全世界都在悼念他，因为他是第一位职业作家和出版人，他很有名，很受爱戴，他引领了小说出版和读者数量的爆炸式增长。空格处为定语从句的连接词，且代替先行词在从句中作主语，先行词为人，所以用who。故填who。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：把他从英国文学的万神殿中除名，就像卢浮宫卖掉《蒙娜丽莎》一样没有意义。空格处与后面的短语构成句子的主语，此处表示“把他从英国文学的万神殿中除名”，所以用动名词。故填Removing。 【43题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：狄更斯的写作风格吸引了各行各业的读者，这在一定程度上是对的。空格处需要填入谓语动词；此处描述的事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。故填attracted。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：正是由于他的作品掀起了社会、政治和科学进步的浪潮。空格处位于名词之前，因此需要用形容词；science的形容词为scientific，意为“科学的”。故填scientific。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：没有人会知道，是什么样的才华、抱负、精力和运气使狄更斯成为如此杰出的作家。空格处位于单数可数名词之前，因此需要填入冠词，冠词之后的单词首字母发音为辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 在口语课上，外教Peter组织同学们讨论是否使用网络投票（online voting）的方式评选最佳校园摄影作品，请你代表小组发言，内容包括： 1.小组观点； 2.陈述理由。 注意: 1. 词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Our group firmly advocates the use of online voting to select the best campus photography works.

My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me. With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV. Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good, Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.” With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?” I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited. I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said， “What do you want?” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know my face. That’s all I’m asking.” I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered，“Sure!” 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。 Paragraph 1: When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance. With boldness, I finished my performance relatively smoothly though palms were sweating. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that I was indeed assigned the intern job to act on a school life show and my first public appearance on TV was in five days. After sharing the thrilling news with my dad, I received the warmest congratulations and expectations from my family. Picturing my families eagerly waiting for my performance, I worked day and night as busy as a bee for fear that I would make a fool of myself live on TV. Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching. Wearing fancy dress and delicate make up, I was so proud but nervous that my show would be watched by so many audience. My mind suddenly went blank as I was immersed in my thoughts and totally forgot my lines. Deep frowns gradually climbed on my partners' face, with whose sudden vigorous pull, I was driven back to the reality. I soon came up with a little trick to make up for the embarrassing blank. As the show went on, so concentrated was I that I hardly dared to even blink my eyes. After my debut, I rang my dad with frustration and disappointment, only to reap his trust and encouragement again. It was literally dad's love that supported me along my way to be an outstanding actor. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小梦想在电视上表演，在父亲的帮助和鼓励下，作者被多伦多瑞尔森学院的广播电视艺术专业录取。最终作者凭借努力和勇敢，赢得了上电视的机会，感悟到是爸爸的爱支持着自己成为一名出色的演员。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我到达车站，我直接进入试镜，并开始我的短表演。”可知，第一段可描写作者表演的经过以及心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于有一天，我第一次在电视直播中公开露面，我的父母在家里看着我。”可知，第二段可描写直播时作者的感受以及感悟。 2.续写线索：试镜——表演——分享消息——直播露面——进行直播——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 到达：arrive at/get to 完成：finish/complete 出丑：make a fool of oneself / become a laughing stock 情绪类 急切：eagerly / urgently 紧张：nervous / stressful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that I was indeed assigned the intern job to act on a school life show and my first public appearance on TV was in five days.
