Hardy This is the best book I know about the sheer beauty of mathematics. Here’s one lovely quote from the book: “A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.” — David Brenner (TED Talk: A new weapon in the fight against superbugs) The Future by Nick Montfort This is a short read but a great look at some key future thinkers throughout history. Through delightfully written case studies, Montfort makes the argument that the future can be made and not predicted. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in future studies and the role that sci-fi, speculative design and big ideas play in shaping our future relationship with technology. — Raphael Arar (TED Talk: How we can teach computers to make sense of our emotions) Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson “We all could use a lesson on how to have fun in business and in life. Madson does a wonderful job providing strategies on how to deal with life’s many challenging situations by drawing from the maxims of improvisational theater.” — Lisa Dyson (TED Talk: A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food) If You Want to Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit by Brenda Ueland For those who know they have something to express, these stressful times can feel a bit hopeless — it may seem impossible to find the time, skill and energy to create. This is one of the most timeless books on how to regain that hope, and it’s also a delightful read, in and of itself. — Sebastian Wernicke (TED Talk: How to use data to make a hit TV show) 21. What is the topic of the talk given by Raphael Arar? A A new weapon in the fight against superbugs. B. How we can teach computers to make sense of our emotions. C. A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food. D. How to use data to make a hit TV show. 22. Who are advised to read Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up? A. Those interested in mathematics. B. Those interested in future studies. C. Those faced with life’s difficulties. D. Those eager to create books. 23. Which book does Sebastian Wernicke recommend? A. A Mathematician’s Apology. B. The Future. C. Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up. D. If You Want to Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit. B I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected. I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed. I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving. I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away. As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear. 24. What led to the author becoming shy? A. Fearing to talk to strangers. B. The heavy academic burden. C. The loneliness of being abroad. D. Being unfamiliar with the new school. 25. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3? A. Strength. B. Courage. C. Enthusiasm. D. Calmness. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She worked very hard on her research. B. She experienced a sense of incompetence. C. She was in the same boat as her schoolmates. D. She regained connection with her friends. 27. What ’s the main idea of the text? A. The author regained herself in the process of volunteering. B. The author assisted with old people’s daily life. C. The author communicated with senior citizens. D. The author informed us of her academic burden. C That banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields, could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of concrete(混凝土) and other building materials. A new process introduced by the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour can turn large quantities of almost any carbon source into valuable graphene. Tour said the “flash graphene” technique can transform a ton of coal, food waste or plastic into graphene for a tiny amount of the cost used by other graphene-producing methods. The world throws out 30% to 40% of all food every year and plastic waste is of worldwide concern. Tour’s team has already proven that any solid carbon-based matter, including mixed plastic waste and rubber tires, can be turned into graphene. As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of cement reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year. “By adding graphene to concrete, we could use less concrete for buildings,” Tour said. The flash graphene process gets its name from the spark of bright light created when the chemical reaction occurs. Most of the energy is not turning into heat, but instead goes into a type of thermal electromagnetic radiation (热电磁辐射). That radiation breaks every carbon-carbon bond and any extra energy leftover is released in the form of the bright flash of light. Flash graphene is made in just 10 milliseconds this way. The problem with the flash process at the current stage is: The researchers could only make about a picogram of graphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-sourced coal. “This could provide an outlet for coal on a large scale by changing it inexpensively into a much-higher-value building material,” he said. 28. What can we learn about James Tour’s graphene-producing method? A. It is useful but of little commercial value. B. It can make rubber tires stronger and more durable. C. It has a cost advantage and easily-accessible raw materials. D. It helps the world reduce food waste by about 40%. 29. The data listed in Paragraph 3 and 4 shows us flash graphene’s ____________. A. influence on the building industry B. role in increasing cement production C. potential in reducing global warming D. possibility in changing how we live 30. What will Tour focus on within the next two years? A. Searching for more high-value building materials. B. Increasing the productivity of flash graphene. C. Inventing the electronics suitable for the flash graphene. D. Improving the efficiency of thermal electromagnetic radiation. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the environmental effects of concrete. B. To introduce the function of graphene in various fields. C. To encourage people to be less dependent on carbon-based fuels. D. To present a way to turn waste into treasure. D A new study, published in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils’ experienced satisfaction with school. Nearly 1,000 pupils at ten Finnish schools with extended music classes and comparison classes participated in a survey that measured the quality of school life at Year 3 and Year 6. According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6. But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3. The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes. Merely attending an extended education class at Year 3 did not cause differences in school satisfaction. To explore whether belonging to any extended education class would have the same benefits, some extended education classes that focus on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis. However, school satisfaction in these classes did not differ from that in the normal ones at Year 6. "Singing in a choir and group performance are popular activities at extended music classes. Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize (合拍)with one another. That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other. Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchrony and cooperation as music lessons, which could explain part of the phenomenon,” says doctoral student Pävi-Sisko Eerola, at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. A particular answer may be that girls usually tend to give more positive scores on satisfaction with school and they also make up the majority of pupils at extended music classes. However, the gender differences do not fully explain the observed results. In fact, it seems that extended music classes improve the quality of school life more for boys than girls. Maybe it’s impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system, but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self-expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary. 32. What did the new study find? A. Elder kids are content with school when receiving more music lessons. B. Extended music education is getting popular in many Finnish schools. C. Primary pupils have different preference for the class arrangements. D. Music education may have different functions in different grades. 33. What is the characteristic of those newly included education classes? A. They pay more attention to kids’ feelings and emotions. B. They stress visual appreciation and physical activity. C. They are extended to the same length and frequency. D. They are attended by both younger and elder kids. 34. What’s the benefit of extended music classes according to Eerola? A. They can promote teamwork between students. B. They can build good teacher-student relationship. C. They effectively practice studenls’ singing skill. D. They will develop students’ interest in music. 35 Who will probably be most interested in the finding of the new study? A. The researchers. B. Music teachers. C. Finnish students. D. School administrators. 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。 Last week the electricity in my flat went out.___36___ My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media.

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 临澧一中 2023年上学期高二年级入学考试 英语试卷 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where is the desk?

To join the library, you need a membership card. Take your passport or ID card, as well as show your home address, to the information desk. After a period of two years, all readers are required to go to the desk with a paper that has their name and present address on it so the library can keep up-to-date records of where people are living. There’s no need to register again and there is no charge for this. If you can’t find the book you want on the shelves, you can book it in advance. If it’s in another library in the city, we can usually get it for you within a week. If someone else has borrowed it, it can take a few weeks. Either way, we tell you by phone when the book can be picked up. We will hold it for you for five days. Books can be borrowed for fourteen days. Children’s books also have a two-week borrowing period. So do the CDs but DVDs, both children’s and adults’, can only be borrowed for up to seven days. Dictionaries can be borrowed but normally only for one day. The library opening hours have been changed slightly. Instead of opening late on Wednesday evenings until 8:00 p.m., we will be closing at 6, but we will close at 7 instead of 5:30 on Saturdays and we are going to open on Sunday mornings from next month - 9 to 1. Notices are posted in the library about these. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Books Recommended by TED Speakers A Mathematician’s Apology by G. H. Hardy This is the best book I know about the sheer beauty of mathematics. Here’s one lovely quote from the book: “A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.” — David Brenner (TED Talk: A new weapon in the fight against superbugs) The Future by Nick Montfort This is a short read but a great look at some key future thinkers throughout history. Through delightfully written case studies, Montfort makes the argument that the future can be made and not predicted. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in future studies and the role that sci-fi, speculative design and big ideas play in shaping our future relationship with technology. — Raphael Arar (TED Talk: How we can teach computers to make sense of our emotions) Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson “We all could use a lesson on how to have fun in business and in life Madson does a wonderful job providing strategies on how to deal with life’s many challenging situations by drawing from the maxims of improvisational theater.” — Lisa Dyson (TED Talk: A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food) If You Want to Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit by Brenda Ueland For those who know they have something to express, these stressful times can feel a bit hopeless — it may seem impossible to find the time, skill and energy to create. This is one of the most timeless books on how to regain that hope, and it’s also a delightful read, in and of itself. — Sebastian Wernicke (TED Talk: How to use data to make a hit TV show) 21.

But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected. I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed. I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving. I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away. As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear. 24. What led to the author becoming shy? A. Fearing to talk to strangers. B. The heavy academic burden. C. The loneliness of being abroad. D. Being unfamiliar with the new school. 25. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3? A. Strength. B. Courage. C. Enthusiasm. D. Calmness. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She worked very hard on her research. B. She experienced a sense of incompetence. C. She was in the same boat as her schoolmates. D She regained connection with her friends. 27. What ’s the main idea of the text? A. The author regained herself in the process of volunteering. B. The author assisted with old people’s daily life. C. The author communicated with senior citizens. D. The author informed us of her academic burden. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者出国留学，因繁重的学业失去自我，后来通过参加志愿者活动逐渐重拾自我的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl.”（学业压力使我筋疲力尽，我失去了往日的开朗，突然变得羞怯起来）可知，学业压力使作者变得羞怯起来，故选 B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“I was a bit anxious before my first ride”（在第一次旅程之前，我有些焦虑）可知，在开始志愿者工作之前，作者有点担心，下文提到那位女士像作者的奶奶一样与作者交谈，类似的事和乘客脸上的笑容激励作者继续做这份工作，由此可知，划线词应与 anxious 的含义形成对比，表示“镇定，泰然自若”，calmness 与之含义相近。故选 D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything.”（我的同学们也面临着同样的困难，即使是我认为最优秀的学生）可知，作者的同学和她面临着同样的困难，即：她们的处境相同，be in the same boat“处境相同”，故选 C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者出国留学，因繁重学业失去自我，后来通过参加志愿者活动逐渐重拾自我的故事，故选 A。 C That banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields, could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of concrete(混凝土) and other building materials. A new process introduced by the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour can turn large quantities of almost any carbon source into valuable graphene. Tour said the “flash graphene” technique can transform a ton of coal, food waste or plastic into graphene for a tiny amount of the cost used by other graphene-producing methods. The world throws out 30% to 40% of all food every year and plastic waste is of worldwide concern. Tour’s team has already proven that any solid carbon-based matter, including mixed plastic waste and rubber tires, can be turned into graphene. As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of cement reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year. “By adding graphene to concrete, we could use less concrete for buildings,” Tour said. The flash graphene process gets its name from the spark of bright light created when the chemical reaction occurs. Most of the energy is not turning into heat, but instead goes into a type of thermal electromagnetic radiation (热电磁辐射). That radiation breaks every carbon-carbon bond and any extra energy leftover is released in the form of the bright flash of light. Flash graphene is made in just 10 milliseconds this way. The problem with the flash process at the current stage is: The researchers could only make about a picogram of graphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-sourced coal. “This could provide an outlet for coal on a large scale by changing it inexpensively into a much-higher-value building material,” he said. 28. What can we learn about James Tour’s graphene-producing method? A. It is useful but of little commercial value. B. It can make rubber tires stronger and more durable. C. It has a cost advantage and easily-accessible raw materials. D. It helps the world reduce food waste by about 40%. 29. The data listed in Paragraph 3 and 4 shows us flash graphene’s ____________. A. influence on the building industry B. role in increasing cement production C. potential in reducing global warming D. possibility in changing how we live 30. What will Tour focus on within the next two years? A. Searching for more high-value building materials. B. Increasing the productivity of flash graphene. C. Inventing the electronics suitable for the flash graphene. D. Improving the efficiency of thermal electromagnetic radiation. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain the environmental effects of concrete. B. To introduce the function of graphene in various fields. C. To encourage people to be less dependent on carbon-based fuels. D. To present a way to turn waste into treasure. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。 28题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“A new process introduced by the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour can turn large quantities of almost any carbon source into valuable graphene. Tour said the “flash graphene” technique can transform a ton of coal, food waste or plastic into graphene for a tiny amount of the cost used by other graphene-producing methods.(莱斯大学化学家詹姆斯·图尔(James Tour)的实验室引入了一种新工艺，可以将几乎任何碳源的大量碳转化为有价值的石墨烯。图尔说，这种“闪蒸石墨烯”技术可以将一吨煤炭、食物垃圾或塑料转化为石墨烯，其成本仅为其他石墨烯生产方法的极小部分。)”可知，James Tour 的石墨烯生产方法，不仅有成本优势，而且原材料易得。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段 “The world throws out 30% to 40% of all food every year and plastic waste is of worldwide concern.(全世界每年扔掉30%到40%的食物，塑料垃圾引起了全世界的关注。)”以及第四段“As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of cement reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year.(据《自然》杂志报道，在用于粘结混凝土的水泥中，只要含有0.1%的石墨烯，就能将其对环境的巨大影响降低三分之一。据报道，水泥生产每年释放出高达8%的人为二氧化碳。)” 可知，闪蒸石墨烯以食物和塑料垃圾为原料，且可减少建筑行业的水泥需求，这说明了:闪蒸石墨烯在缓解全球变暖有大潜力。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“ The problem with the flash process at the current stage is: The researchers could only make about a picogram of graphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-sourced coal.(目前闪蒸工艺的问题是:研究人员只能制造出大约一微克的石墨烯，这是极少量的石墨烯，可能适用于电子产品。Tour希望在两年内每天生产1公斤的闪蒸石墨烯，这是从能源部最近资助的一个项目开始的，该项目旨在改变源自美国的煤炭。)”可知，研究人员在接下来的2年里将会致力于增加这种闪蒸石墨烯的产出。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。 由第一段“That banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields, could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of concrete(混凝土) and other building materials.(你午餐吃的香蕉皮，可以转化为石墨烯，一种在电子和许多其他领域有价值的材料，可以大大降低混凝土和其他建筑材料对环境的影响。)”可知，文章要介绍一种将垃圾转化为材料的方法。通读全文可知，文章介绍了:研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。所以文章的主要目的是呈现一种把垃圾变为“宝藏”的方式，故选D项。 D A new study, published in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils’ experienced satisfaction with school. Nearly 1,000 pupils at ten Finnish schools with extended music classes and comparison classes participated in a survey that measured the quality of school life at Year 3 and Year 6. According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6. But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3. The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes. Merely attending an extended education class at Year 3 did not cause differences in school satisfaction. To explore whether belonging to any extended education class would have the same benefits, some extended education classes that focus on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis. However, school satisfaction in these classes did not differ from that in the normal ones at Year 6. "Singing in a choir and group performance are popular activities at extended music classes. Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize (合拍)with one another. That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other. Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchrony and cooperation as music lessons, which could explain part of the phenomenon,” says doctoral student Pävi-Sisko Eerola, at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. A particular answer may be that girls usually tend to give more positive scores on satisfaction with school and they also make up the majority of pupils at extended music classes. However, the gender differences do not fully explain the observed results. In fact, it seems that extended music classes improve the quality of school life more for boys than girls. Maybe it’s impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system, but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self-expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary. 32. What did the new study find? A. Elder kids are content with school when receiving more music lessons. B. Extended music education is getting popular in many Finnish schools. C. Primary pupils have different preference for the class arrangements. D. Music education may have different functions in different grades. 33. What is the characteristic of those newly included education classes? A. They pay more attention to kids’ feelings and emotions. B. They stress visual appreciation and physical activity. C. They are extended to the same length and frequency. D. They are attended by both younger and elder kids. 34. What’s the benefit of extended music classes according to Eerola? A. They can promote teamwork between students. B. They can build good teacher-student relationship. C. They effectively practice studenls’ singing skill. D. They will develop students’ interest in music. 35. Who will probably be most interested in the finding of the new study? A. The researchers. B. Music teachers. C. Finnish students. D. School administrators. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。调查发现，延长音乐课会极大影响学生对学校生活的满意度，因为音乐课上大量的音乐活动训练使得学生互相喜欢，这加强了人与人之间的联系。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study, published in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils’ experienced satisfaction with school.” （发表在《音乐教育研究》上的一项新研究调查了延长音乐教育是否会影响学生对学校的体验满意度。）以及第二段 “According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6. But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3. The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes.” （结果显示，在六年级时，音乐拓展班与对照班之间有显著的差异。但三年级各组间没有差异。最可能的解释是音乐课的数量带来的影响，音乐拓展你班每周上4个小时音乐课，而对照普通班每周只上1个小时。）可知，年长的学生在接受更多音乐课的情况下，对学校生活也更满意。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“some extended education classes with an emphasis on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis.” （最近，该分析还包括了以视觉艺术和肢体运动为重点的延伸教育课。）可知，这些最新研究的课程强调视觉艺术和肢体运动。故选B项。 34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的Eerola 所说的“Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize with one another. That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other. Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchrony and cooperation as music lessons.”（ 其他研究已经证实，人们发现彼此同步的效果非常令人满意。这增加了群体内部的联系，甚至可能让人们喜欢上彼此。学校里的其他课程没有音乐课那么多的同步和合作训练。）可知，音乐拓展课可以训练学生协调和合拍，锻炼了学生的团队协作能力。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。综合全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Maybe it’s impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system, but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self-expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary.”（虽然不可能采用芬兰的音乐教育体系，但每周多花几个小时通过音乐进行艺术自我表达的好处是非常明显和必要的。）可知，这一调查关乎音乐课是否应该延长，所以学校管理者应该对此感兴趣。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。 Last week the electricity in my flat went out.___36___ My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity. So for me it was an early night, ___37___ That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary. ___38___ And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them. ___39___It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it. How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. ___40___So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference. A. Yet we know one day we will run out of it. B. Our over-use of electricity is a big problem. C. This left me in complete darkness the whole night. D. It is a real problem to cut down on the use of electricity. E. I know for sure I could cut down on my use of electricity. F. I couldn’t help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? G. I turn on the TV in the background even when Tm not watching it. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章叙述的是“电”在我们日常生活中所起到的作用以及号召我们要节约用电。作者希望如果每个人都节约用电，我们就能做出很大的改变。 【36题详解】 上一句提到Last week the electricity in my flat went out.（上一周我公寓停电了）。承接上文，C选项（这让我整晚都在黑暗中。）是上句的结果。该项中的in complete darkness对应上文中的went out。故选C。 【37题详解】 上句提到So for me it was an early night（所以对我来说，这是一个早睡的夜晚）；再根据下句提到（那天晚上，停电就像失去了基本的必需品，就像自来水一样。），F项（我不得不想，我们是不是太依赖电力了？）承接上下文。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据下句提到as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.（当我写这篇文章的时候，我的灯还亮着，即使是在我不需要它们的时候。），G项（即使我不看电视，我也会打开电视。）与下句都是并列的讲自己如何浪费电。该选项中的turn on the TV与下文中have my lights on吻合。故G选项正确。 【39题详解】 根据下文提到It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it.（它导致了全球变暖。它正在损害我们的环境，我们需要尽我们所能阻止它。），B项（我们过度使用电力是一个大问题。）是下句的原因。该项中的Our over-use of electricity就是下文中it所指代的。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文提到How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function.（在没有电的世界里，我们如何生存？我们的日常生活围绕着它。没有它我们就不能正常工作了。）再根据下文So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer.（所以我们现在就不能开始准备吗？减少我们的电力使用将节省能源，这样它们就能持续使用更长的时间），故A项Yet we know one day we will run out of it（但我们知道总有一天我们会耗尽它。）承上启下，该项中的Yet与上文表示转折；run out of it与下文的Cutting down构成一种因果关系。故A选项正确。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I’m a second-year student of Coventry University.

It is a new way of shopping as opposed to traditional shopping. One of the most obvious strengths of online shopping is its convenience. All kinds of things are offered on various apps for us to choose from. Unlike the shops on the street which have opening hours, we can buy anything we like at any time with a cell phone at hand. However, there are many disadvantages about shopping online. We can’t actually see the real products. So we may be cheated easily. Also, many people will miss the best opportunity to go out with their friends and share the joy of shopping. To sum up, in my opinion, online shopping should never fully take the place of traditional shopping, and we should make proper use of online shopping. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生根据表格内容谈谈网上购物的利与弊，并表达自己的观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 明显的：obvious →distinct 劣势：disadvantage→ weakness 优势：strength→advantage 被欺骗：be cheated→be taken in 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：It is a new way of shopping as opposed to traditional shopping. 拓展句：This is a new way of shopping, which is different from the traditional way of shopping. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Unlike the shops on the street which have opening hours, we can buy anything we like at any time with a cell phone at hand.（运用了which引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Also, many people will miss the best opportunity to go out with their friends and share the joy of shopping.（运用了不定式作后置定语） 第二节读后续写(满分25分) 67. 读后续写 A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Instead of burying myself in my phone, l focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上高中之前，爸爸送他一部手机，于是他就完全沉迷其中。为了改善这种情况，爸爸带全家去户外野营。因没有信号而无法玩手机的作者大发脾气，但却逐渐发现了自然的美丽和家人的陪伴是更加美好的事情。 【详解】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在作者上高中的前几个月，父母送给他一部手机，整个夏天作者都沉迷于用手机与朋友们发消息，忽略了家人和周围的环境。当父亲宣布假期要去野营时，作者感到很失望，那意味着他不能玩手机了，最终，父亲选择了一个没有手机服务的露营地，这意味着在露营期间，作者无法与外界联系，他感到很生气，但当他第二天早上醒来时，一些事情已经改变了。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我没有沉迷于我的手机，而是专注于别的事情：我周围的环境。”可知，第一段可描写作者周围的环境及作者情绪上的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的四天在许多有趣的活动中转瞬即逝。”可知，第二段可描写四天中作者经历了哪些有趣的活动及通过这次野营作者领悟到的道理。 2.续写线索：欣赏周围的环境——愤怒转为兴奋——没有手机没那么糟糕——野营中有趣的活动——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.结束：come to an end/draw to an end ②.想起：think of/call to mind 情绪类 ①.愤怒：anger/wrath/ indignation ②.坏的：bad/terrible/awful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
