B The automobile industry is spending billions on self-driving cars, but what if we quite like driving? One holiday a few years ago, I spent hours being transported on trains, buses and planes. I read a novel for a while, then stared out the window, in a black mood. I was turned into goods, being shifted from one location to another. Then, finally, came the exciting section of the holiday when I hired a car. My wife Jocasta and I followed the positioning system, turning right, then right again, and found ourselves in a small town. I spoke to the positioning system, “We don’t want to be here; we want the highway.” Then it asked me to turn right again and again. With every turn, the street narrowed. The walls were so close that I had to hold my breath. Another car appeared, coming towards us from the opposite direction. The driver signaled, telling me I had to make way. But how? I didn’t have the courage to back up along the impossibly narrow passage. Soon some locals came to help. One lady stood at the back of the vehicle, waving me on. She continued making “this way, this way” movements with her arms. In an act of blind trust, I followed her instructions, creeping (小心行进) backwards and forwards. Remarkably, it worked. I completed my turn into the side street. The other car passed and the driver gave me a grateful wave. Then I followed the lady’s suggestion and — finally — saw the highway. My hands were shaking. I breathed in and out. Jocasta turned to me. “You’re my hero,” she said. I looked at her, expecting a shadow of a teasing (嘲笑的) smile, but can find none. “You’re my hero,” she repeated. “I mean it. You did a really good job.” Finally, I managed to steady my nerves. Then we set off again and the car sped smoothly away. Who would exchange all this for a self-driving car? 4 Why are self-driving cars mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To show the advance in technology. B. To show the author’s love for driving. C. To show the change in the automobile industry. D. To lead to the author’s holiday experience. 5. Why did the author drive into the narrow passage? A. He wanted to take a shortcut. B. He intended to thank, the locals for help. C. He had to turn to avoid another car. D. He was misdirected by the guidance system 6. What can be inferred about the author and his wife from the last paragraph? A. His wife used to laugh at him. B. He became more skilled at driving. C His wife tried to encourage and calm him. D. He misunderstood his wife throughout. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Hero Behind the Wheel B. An Adventurous Automobile Trip C. A Lover of Self-driving Cars D. An Unexpected Technological Problem C It’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From the viewpoint of health, it may be worth it. Though there is a hassle when it comes to whether napping benefits everyone, we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term. For example, scientists reviewed a past experiment that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles. In that experiment, participants were given math problems that could be solved with a shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a nap before dealing with the problems. It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect. The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping: a 2013 study focusing on such people, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people were slightly inactive as they came out of their nap-a phenomenon called “sleep inertia (惰性)”. There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” mean in paragraph 2? A. Debate. B. Tendency. C. Guidance. D. Judgement. 9. What did the experiment find about napping? A. It improves memory. B. It helps clear one’s mind C. It may promote one’s health. D. It has a bad influence on people. 10. What can we infer about the subjects of the 2013 study? A. They tended to nap more. B. They were inactive in daytime. C. They came out of their naps slowly. D. They didn’t get enough nighttime sleep 11. How can we avoid sleep inertia? A. By taking fewer naps. B. By napping within 1 hour. C. By managing the nap length. D. By avoiding long naps. D Eating insects is one of those ideas that never quite seem to catch on. The United Nations supported the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves. Faced with this situation, scientists have been exploring other options. One is to feed insects to farm animals, which are not so picky. Of course, insects need to eat, too. To date, they have mostly been raised on leftover chicken feed. But the supply of that is limited, and if insect-raised meat is to take off, new sources will be needed. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Entomology, Niels Thomas Eriksen, a biochemist at Aalborg University, suggests feeding them on the waste products of the beer industry. The world knocks back around 185 billion litres of beer every year. Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of abandoned substances that are richer in protein but not in carbohydrates (碳水化合物), especially compared with chicken feed. Most insects grown for feed depend, in the wild, on the carbohydrates found in fruit which goes bad. Whether insects would actually consider beer waste a square meal was, therefore, unclear. The researchers used the baby black soldier flies. The insects were divided into three groups, which were offered beer waste, chicken feed and a mixture of both respectively. The researchers monitored both their weight gain and the amount of carbon dioxide they breathed out, which helped assess the insects metabolic (新陈代谢的) performance. The babies happily consumed both beer waste and chicken feed, and grew equally well on either food source. When Dr Eriksen made further chemical analysis, he found few differences in the nutrients needed for farm animals’ growth. What the researchers found is good news for some other industries whose waste is likewise plentiful and protein-rich, and they now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects. Whether consumers will be willing to eat insect-raised meat, though, remains to be seen. 12. What do we know about eating insects in the beginning? A. It will probably catch on soon. B. Most westerners shy away from it. C. It is supported in most of the world. D. Most scientists turn down this idea. 13. Why were the researchers initially unsure of beer waste as insect feed? A. Its supply is not enough B. It contains too much protein C. It lacks necessary carbohydrates D. Its chemical contents are unknown. 14. What did the researchers find about the insects? A. They preferred to eat chicken feed. B. They grew fastest on beer waste. C They could turn beer waste into meat. D. They needed more food than expected. 15. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph? A. Some industries rarely recycle their waste. B. The practical application of the findings is limited. C. Insect-raised meat is likely to be the next fashion. D. The experiment has an outlook beyond the beer industry. 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。 How to Politely Cancel Plans Over Text You made plans with friends, but when it’s time to leave the house, you just don’t have the energy.

I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even if I knew someone well. I was even quieter with strangers, and so I wasn’t very good at meeting new people. I was afraid that I would do or say something wrong. So in our school’s annual grand play, I usually sat in a secluded (僻静的) corner to watch the performance alone. I hoped to sit in the background and watch the actors sweat in front of all those pairs of eyes. One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me into her office and said, “Oh, Mary, you re great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Jenny! ‘ But I bowed my head and dared not speak. The teacher saw this and then said, “Of course, plenty of girls would love the role, and I could find somebody else. But I hope you could try it for me. I had you in mind for Jenny while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.” My mind was spinning (快速旋转) faster than the windmill (风车) on the school playground. Mrs. Sally, whom I loved and admired, wanted me to play this role. She believed in me. My eyes moved across the room to a poster I had never noticed before. It showed a shooting star and read, “If you reach for the stars, you might at least grab a piece of the moon.” I looked into Mrs. Sally’s shining blue eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll try.” I realized it was time to throw off my shy mask and show the world who I really was. In the following five months, the teacher taught me how to set, put on makeup, memorize lines, create costumes and so on. Gradually, I mastered (掌握) my lines and songs. 注意：1、续写词数应为150左右； 2、请按如下格式作答。 The big day came at last. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed my nervousness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 BACCB 6—10 CABAA 11—15 BCABA 16—20 CAABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 昭通市正道中学2024年春季学期开学考 高一英语试题 (试卷满分 150分， 考试时间 120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

I completed my turn into the side street. The other car passed and the driver gave me a grateful wave. Then I followed the lady’s suggestion and — finally — saw the highway. My hands were shaking. I breathed in and out. Jocasta turned to me. “You’re my hero,” she said. I looked at her, expecting a shadow of a teasing (嘲笑的) smile, but can find none. “You’re my hero,” she repeated. “I mean it. You did a really good job.” Finally, I managed to steady my nerves. Then we set off again and the car sped smoothly away. Who would exchange all this for a self-driving car? 4. Why are self-driving cars mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To show the advance in technology. B. To show the author’s love for driving. C. To show the change in the automobile industry. D. To lead to the author’s holiday experience. 5. Why did the author drive into the narrow passage? A. He wanted to take a shortcut. B. He intended to thank, the locals for help. C. He had to turn to avoid another car. D. He was misdirected by the guidance system 6. What can be inferred about the author and his wife from the last paragraph? A. His wife used to laugh at him. B. He became more skilled at driving. C. His wife tried to encourage and calm him. D. He misunderstood his wife throughout. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Hero Behind the Wheel B. An Adventurous Automobile Trip C. A Lover of Self-driving Cars D. An Unexpected Technological Problem 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和妻子在度假时租了一辆车，但汽车导航把车引入了一个很狭窄的过道里，在一位女士的帮助下作者才顺利把车倒了出来，作者还收获了妻子的称赞。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The automobile industry is spending billions on self-driving cars, but what if we quite like driving?(汽车行业在自动驾驶汽车上花费了数十亿美元，但如果我们非常喜欢驾驶呢？)”和下文描述的作者假期的经历可知，第一段中but前后表示转折，前面讲述自动驾驶汽车受到了重点开发，后面讲述还是有人可能喜欢自己驾驶汽车，接着下文讲述了作者假期开车被导航误导进一个过道了，多亏了别人相助才顺利把车开出来，最后还获得了妻子的赞扬，这种经历只有亲自开车才会有，由此可推测出，第一段提到自动驾驶汽车是为了引出作者的假期经历。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“My wife Jocasta and I followed the positioning system, turning right, then right again, and found ourselves in a small town. I spoke to the positioning system, ‘We don’t want to be here; we want the highway.’ Then it asked me to turn right again and again. With every turn, the street narrowed. The walls were so close that I had to hold my breath.(我和妻子Jocasta跟着定位系统，向右转弯，然后又向右转弯，发现我们自己在一个小镇上。我对定位系统说：‘我们不想在这里，我们想要高速公路。’然后它一次又一次地让我右转。街道一转弯就变窄了。墙太近了，我不得不屏住呼吸。)”可推测出，作者被导航系统误导，所以开车进入了狭窄的过道。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My hands were shaking. I breathed in and out.(我的手在发抖。我吸气又呼气。)”和“‘You’re my hero,’ she repeated. ‘I mean it. You did a really good job.’ Finally, I managed to steady my nerves. Then we set off again and the car sped smoothly away.(‘你是我的英雄，’她重复道。‘我是认真的。你做得很好。’最后，我设法稳定了自己的神经。然后我们又出发了，汽车平稳地开走了。)”可知，作者开车出来后仍然惊魂未定，双手颤抖，努力想平复心情，而作者妻子的话让作者稳住心神，成功平稳开车离开，由此可推测出，作者的妻子努力鼓励作者并让作者镇静下来。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者驾车旅游时在导航的指引下驶入了一条狭窄的通道，最后在当地人的帮助下成功倒车出来并收获了妻子的称赞。结合最后一段中妻子的话“You’re my hero(你是我的英雄)”可知，作者成功克服了困难，妻子对他进行赞扬，A项“开车的英雄”既是对作者成功解决困难的肯定，也与妻子称赞他为英雄的内容相照应。故A项作文章标题最佳。故选A。 C It’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From the viewpoint of health, it may be worth it. Though there is a hassle when it comes to whether napping benefits everyone, we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知) performance in the short term. For example, scientists reviewed a past experiment that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles. In that experiment, participants were given math problems that could be solved with a shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a nap before dealing with the problems. It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect. The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping: a 2013 study focusing on such people, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people were slightly inactive as they came out of their nap-a phenomenon called “sleep inertia (惰性)”. There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia. 8. What does the underlined word “hassle” mean in paragraph 2? A. Debate. B. Tendency. C. Guidance. D. Judgement. 9. What did the experiment find about napping? A. It improves memory. B. It helps clear one’s mind C. It may promote one’s health. D. It has a bad influence on people. 10. What can we infer about the subjects of the 2013 study? A. They tended to nap more. B. They were inactive in daytime. C. They came out of their naps slowly. D. They didn’t get enough nighttime sleep 11. How can we avoid sleep inertia? A. By taking fewer naps. B. By napping within 1 hour. C. By managing the nap length. D. By avoiding long naps. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，在下午三四点钟，你肚子很饱，天气很暖和，你开始感到困倦了。你应该屈服于小睡的舒适吗？小睡对你有好处吗？本文告诉你答案。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词所在部分是让步状语从句，因此可以判断，a hassle与主句的generally acknowledge应在含义上对立。主句“we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.(但我们通常承认，小睡至少可以在短期内提高一些人的认知能力)”指出我们通常都认为小睡至少能在短期内提升一些人的认知表现，因此可推断出，从句应表示尽管在小睡是否让所有人受益方面存在争议/争论/分歧。hassle与debate含义接近，故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect.(研究发现，那些在睡眠最轻的第一阶段小睡了30秒的人比那些保持清醒的人更有可能找到数学捷径，这个概率是其他人的2.7倍。但是进入深度睡眠阶段会产生负面影响。)”可知，该实验发现小睡有助于使人头脑清醒。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping (小睡的好处对于那些有睡眠债务的人来说是最大的，比如轮班工人，初为人父母的人和夜间睡眠总是被打断的老年人。他们似乎都能通过小睡得到提升)”可推知，研究对象是一些有睡眠负债的人，他们夜晚的睡眠不充足。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.(我们可以做一些事情来减少睡眠惰性。20分钟的小睡有助于恢复体力，60到90分钟的睡眠甚至可以让你恢复体力。要避免的小睡持续时间超过20分钟，少于60分钟，这很可能导致睡眠惰性。)”介绍了如何减轻睡眠惰性。20分钟以及60至90分钟的小睡都有作用，但是20分钟以上、60分钟以下的小睡最有可能导致睡眠惰性。由此可推知，小睡的时间要安排好，既不能太短，也不能太长。故选C。 D Eating insects is one of those ideas that never quite seem to catch on. The United Nations supported the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves. Faced with this situation, scientists have been exploring other options. One is to feed insects to farm animals, which are not so picky. Of course, insects need to eat, too. To date, they have mostly been raised on leftover chicken feed. But the supply of that is limited, and if insect-raised meat is to take off, new sources will be needed. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Entomology, Niels Thomas Eriksen, a biochemist at Aalborg University, suggests feeding them on the waste products of the beer industry. The world knocks back around 185 billion litres of beer every year. Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of abandoned substances that are richer in protein but not in carbohydrates (碳水化合物), especially compared with chicken feed. Most insects grown for feed depend, in the wild, on the carbohydrates found in fruit which goes bad. Whether insects would actually consider beer waste a square meal was, therefore, unclear. The researchers used the baby black soldier flies. The insects were divided into three groups, which were offered beer waste, chicken feed and a mixture of both respectively. The researchers monitored both their weight gain and the amount of carbon dioxide they breathed out, which helped assess the insects metabolic (新陈代谢的) performance. The babies happily consumed both beer waste and chicken feed, and grew equally well on either food source. When Dr Eriksen made further chemical analysis, he found few differences in the nutrients needed for farm animals’ growth. What the researchers found is good news for some other industries whose waste is likewise plentiful and protein-rich, and they now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects. Whether consumers will be willing to eat insect-raised meat, though, remains to be seen. 12. What do we know about eating insects in the beginning? A. It will probably catch on soon. B. Most westerners shy away from it. C. It is supported in most of the world. D. Most scientists turn down this idea. 13. Why were the researchers initially unsure of beer waste as insect feed? A. Its supply is not enough B. It contains too much protein C. It lacks necessary carbohydrates D. Its chemical contents are unknown. 14. What did the researchers find about the insects? A. They preferred to eat chicken feed. B. They grew fastest on beer waste. C. They could turn beer waste into meat. D. They needed more food than expected. 15. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph? A. Some industries rarely recycle their waste. B. The practical application of the findings is limited. C. Insect-raised meat is likely to be the next fashion. D. The experiment has an outlook beyond the beer industry. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。很多人对吃昆虫敬谢不敏，科学家想到用昆虫当饲料喂养农场牲畜，但是昆虫也需要食物，而它们的食物有限。于是科学家进行了一项实验，发现以啤酒废弃物为食的昆虫一样有营养。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The United Nations supported the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves.(联合国在十年前就支持了这一想法，但至少在西方，超市货架上仍然看不到昆虫)”可知，大部分西方人还是不吃昆虫的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of abandoned substances that are richer in protein but not in carbohydrates (碳水化合物), especially compared with chicken feed.(每升废水会产生3到10升的废水，这些废水充满了富含蛋白质但不含碳水化合物的废弃物质，尤其是与鸡饲料相比)”可知，研究人员一开始不确定啤酒废弃物是否能作昆虫的饲料，是因为啤酒废料缺乏必要的碳水化合物。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When Dr Eriksen made further chemical analysis, he found few differences in the nutrients needed for farm animals’ growth.(当埃里克森博士进行进一步的化学分析时，他发现农场动物生长所需的营养物质几乎没有什么不同)”以及最后一段“What the researchers found is good news for some other industries whose waste is likewise plentiful and protein-rich, and they now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects.(研究人员的发现对其他一些工业来说是个好消息，这些工业的废物同样丰富，富含蛋白质，现在它们看起来是昆虫养分回收的合理目标)”可推知，昆虫可以把啤酒废料变成肉。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What the researchers found is good news for some other industries whose waste is likewise plentiful and protein-rich, and they now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects.(研究人员的发现对其他一些工业来说是个好消息，这些工业的废物同样丰富，富含蛋白质，现在它们看起来是昆虫养分回收的合理目标)”可推知，该实验的前景不限于啤酒行业。故选D。 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。 How to Politely Cancel Plans Over Text You made plans with friends, but when it’s time to leave the house, you just don’t have the energy.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章就如何礼貌地通过短信取消计划给出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 空处上文“You made plans with friends, but when it’s time to leave the house, you just don’t have the energy. Or, maybe something else comes up, and you can’t make it.(你和朋友制定了计划，但当要离开家的时候，你就是没有精力。或者，可能有其他事情发生，而你无法做到。)”提到了一些你需要取消计划的情况，空处下文“But with a few tips, you can do it politely.(但只要有一些小技巧，你就可以礼貌地做到这一点。)”提到有一些小技巧可以帮助有礼貌地取消计划。由此可知，本空应是承上启下句，指出计划取消可能会给人带来困扰，进而引出下文对于“礼貌地取消计划的方法”的介绍，G项“Whatever the case is, cancelling plans can be annoying.(不管是什么情况，取消计划都很烦人。)”说明取消计划会很烦人，承上启下，其中的the case指的是上文提到的情况，因此G选项符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据本段的主旨句“◆Text them as soon as possible.(尽快给他们发短信。)”可知，本段提出的建议是“尽快给他们发短信”，根据空处上文“That way, your friends can rearrange their schedules.(这样，你的朋友可以重新安排他们的日程。)”和“If there’s an emergency and you have to cancel the plan at the last minute, that’s fine.(如果有紧急情况，你不得不在最后一刻取消计划，那也没关系。)”可知，这样做的目的是让朋友们有时间重新安排日程，以避免给他们带来不便和困扰，除非你有紧急情况，不得不在最后一刻取消安排，否则都应该尽快给朋友发短信。F项“Otherwise, you should try to cancel ahead of time.(否则, 你应该尽量提前取消。)”说明了要尽量提前取消，再次与本段的段落小标题相呼应，其中，ahead of time与the last minute相对应，因此符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据本段主旨句“◆Be honest about your situation.(诚实面对自己的处境。)”可知，本段提出的建议是“诚实地说明自己的情况”。根据空处下文“If you’ve encountered a change in your schedule, just tell them what it is. Your friends will be more understanding if they can tell you’re telling the truth.(如果你的日程安排发生了变化，直接告诉他们是什么。如果你的朋友知道你说的是实话，他们会更加理解你。)”可知，如果你的日程发生了变化，只需告诉朋友实情，这样能够建立更好的信任关系，并且朋友会更理解你的决定。D 项“There’s no need to lie about what’s going on.(没有必要对正在发生的事情撒谎。)”说明了要说出实情，符合此处的语境，选项中的lie about what’s going on与上文中的telling the truth相呼应。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段的主旨句“◆Ask if you can reschedule.(询问是否可以重新安排时间。)”可知，本段提出的建议是“询问你们是否可以重新约时间”。根据空处上文“Instead of saying “Let’s hang out soon!”, pick a new time, so your friends know that you’re serious.(与其说“我们快点出去玩吧!”，选择一个新的时间，这样你的朋友就知道你是认真的。)”可知，询问朋友是否可以重新约时间可以显示出自己的诚意和重视，且有助于朋友建立朋友对你的信任，并使他们更愿意与你重新安排时间。E 项“It shows that you aren’t just blowing them off.(这表明你并不只是敷衍他们。)”说明了重新约时间表明你没有敷衍他们，而是认真的，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文中的“let them know how much you appreciate them making plans with you. This will reassure them that you love spending time with them, and it can even help you feel less guilty, too.(让他们知道你有多感激他们和你一起制定计划。这会让他们放心，你喜欢和他们在一起，这甚至可以帮助你减少罪恶感。)”可知，本段的建议是，在告诉朋友你需要取消计划并道歉之后，你要向朋友表达感谢，B项“Thank them for inviting you out.(谢谢他们邀请你外出。)”说明了要对朋友表示感激，能够准确地表达本段的观点，因此可作为本段小标题。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When was the last time you made space in your life to play?

I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even if I knew someone well. I was even quieter with strangers, and so I wasn’t very good at meeting new people. I was afraid that I would do or say something wrong. So in our school’s annual grand play, I usually sat in a secluded (僻静的) corner to watch the performance alone. I hoped to sit in the background and watch the actors sweat in front of all those pairs of eyes. One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me into her office and said, “Oh, Mary, you re great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Jenny! ‘ But I bowed my head and dared not speak. The teacher saw this and then said, “Of course, plenty of girls would love the role, and I could find somebody else. But I hope you could try it for me. I had you in mind for Jenny while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.” My mind was spinning (快速旋转) faster than the windmill (风车) on the school playground. Mrs. Sally, whom I loved and admired, wanted me to play this role. She believed in me. My eyes moved across the room to a poster I had never noticed before. It showed a shooting star and read, “If you reach for the stars, you might at least grab a piece of the moon.” I looked into Mrs. Sally’s shining blue eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll try.” I realized it was time to throw off my shy mask and show the world who I really was. In the following five months, the teacher taught me how to set, put on makeup, memorize lines, create costumes and so on. Gradually, I mastered (掌握) my lines and songs. 注意：1、续写词数应为150左右； 2、请按如下格式作答。 The big day came at last. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed my nervousness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The big day came at last. I jogged all the way to the backstage of the school hall. Cameras were lighting up in all directions. Looking back on five months practise, I seemed to have confidence in myself. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring and outgoing person who had been hidden all along. However, when I was about to go on stage, my heart was pounding so hard that my throat tightened and my knees felt weak. At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed that my nervousness. “It doesn’t matter how you do tonight,” she said. “You’ve already shown how wonderful you are.” Looking into Mrs Sally’s shining blue eyes, I calmed down and then walked onto the stage with his warm words like a ray of sunshine. When I finished my performance, the audience burst into applause. The scene made me feel myself floating in an ocean of happiness. I knew that all this was due to the encouragement from my teacher, who helped me find the confidence to succeed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，在一年级和二年级的时候，作者非常害羞，所以在学校一年一度的盛大演出时，作者总是坐在一个僻静的角落独自观看。上三年级的时候，Sally老师认为作者很适合演一部剧中的Jenny，便鼓励作者演这一角色。经过五个月的练习，作者登台演出前感觉非常紧张，但在Sally老师的鼓励下作者成功完成了演出。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大日子终于来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在登台演出前的紧张情绪和心理活动等。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，Sally老师来到后台做最后的检查，注意到我的紧张。”可知，第二段可描写Sally老师对作者的鼓励以及作者在Sally老师的鼓励下成功完成演出。 2.续写线索：演出来临——感到紧张——老师鼓励——演出成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①慢跑：jog/canter/run slowly ②完成：finish/accomplish ③帮助某人做某事：help sb. do sth./aid sb. to do sth. 情绪类 ①（心脏）狂跳：pound/beat quickly and loudly ②镇定下来：calm down/collect oneself 【点睛】 [高分句型1] I found a new person inside me, a much more daring and outgoing person who had been hidden all along.
