This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger It is about four Creat Depression orphans who flee their harsh school in a canoe down the Mississippi. This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. It is packed with so much heart that you won’t be able to put it down. Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry I’ve always been attracted by the idea of the Wild West, and really Lonesome Dove is considered one of the best western novels out there. The book follows Jake Spoon, a former Texas Ranger, who’s on the run from a sheriff (治安官) from Arkansas and would love to be anywhere but Lonesome Dove. Truly this story is about carving out a place for yourself in the world. Out of Darkness, Shining Light by Petina Gappah Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. This is a powerful and adventurous story that leads the reader on a winding tale as his loyal followers attempt to get the Scottish doctor home. The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal This family drama truly feels like an adventure as you flip through its pages. At the last request of their dying mother, three estranged (疏远的) British born Punjabi sisters are forced to take a pilgrim’s tour (朝圣之旅) to Amritsar together. This is a powerful and evocative (唤起感情的) travel story from the perspective of three very different women. Together they learn about themselves, about their mother and their lives. 21. Who wrote a historical fiction novel? A. William Kent Krueger. B. Larry McMurtry. C. Petina Gappah. D. Balli Kaur Jaswal. 22. Which novel is based on true stories? A This Tender Land B. Lonesome Dove C. Out of Darkness, Shining Light D. The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters 23. Why do the three sisters take a pilgrim to Amritsar together? A Because they learn about themselves. B. Because their mother likes travelling. C. Because they are very fond of travelling. D. Because their dying mother asks them to do so. B A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops (干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect. Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef’s art, much like a singer’s voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors. Invitation to a Banquet is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history. What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的) branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before. In conclusion, Invitation to a Banquet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food. 24. To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou? A. A sweet dessert. B. A bowl of plain white soup. C. A dish made from expensive ingredients. D. A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured. 25. What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Include. B. Reject. C. Strengthen. D. Reduce. 26. What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banquet? A. Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine. B. Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes. C. Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors. D. Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity. 27. What’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce a dish. B. To recommend a book. C. To share an experience. D. To compare different cultures. C If you feel deeply touched by Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, a painting about depressed people having dinner in an urban restaurant, but unmoved passing by a real-world diner late at night, it may be because of what’s happening inside your body. New research suggests that bodily sensations (感觉) aren’t just a by-product of art’s emotional impact but a key pathway for experiencing something as “art” in the first place. In a study involving 1,186 participants and 336 visual art pieces, researchers found that the strength of emotional experience caused by an artwork was connected with the strength of bodily sensations reported while viewing it. Emotions were measured using subjective reports, and viewers separately marked on a virtual human figure where and how they felt physical sensations. Eye tracking and participant surveys, meanwhile, evaluated viewers’ interest in the paintings and whether they considered them to be art. Bodily feelings’ scale was connected with both the strength of emotional experience and the evaluation of a piece as art. Sensations were most noticeable when participants said they felt empathy (the most commonly reported positive emotion) and when they cited “touching” and “moving” emotional experiences. Negative emotions were uncommon, but reports of “sadness” were also linked to “touching” and “moving” experiences — and to a participant categorizing a work as art. Even the excitement from a haunted house (鬼屋) are ultimately experienced as positive, as we experience our hearts racing while we know we are safe,” says study lead author Lauri Nummenmaa, a researcher at the University of Turku in Finland. “Art likely employed similar mechanisms for making us feel good. It activates our autonomic nervous system, and in the peace and quiet of an art gallery this increased bodily activity feels good to us.” Although the study used only subjective reports and didn’t measure objective physiological changes in the body, the data suggest that art perception (感知) involves awareness of the body’s internal state. Art may get under our skin to shift perception. Art may be in the whole body — not just the eye of the viewer. 28. How do the researchers measure participants’ strength of bodily feelings? A. By tracking their eye movements. B. By analyzing their personal reports. C. By touching their different body parts. D. By comparing their sensations with previous surveys. 29. Why does the author mention a haunted house in paragraph 3? A. To introduce categories of artworks. B. To show how art makes us feel good. C. To stress the importance of bodily emotion. D. To explain how negative emotions are produced. 30. What can we learn about art perception from the last paragraph? A. It is controlled by people’s expressions. B. It changes the view point of participants. C. It refers to the visual impact of the paintings. D. It is related to what’s happening inside the body. 31. In which section of a website might you read the text? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Space & Physics. D. Mind & Brain. D Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as a way to —not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance. Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the time she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music. “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said. It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music is my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition! Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.” 32. What helped Sirine get through her difficult times? A. Britain’s Got Talent. B. Her passion for music. C. Support from her parents and doctors. D. Encouragement from four judges. 33 What can we learn from the passage? A. Sirine displayed all her passion on stage. B. Sirine lost her sight totally at the age of five. C. Her parents focused on treatments all the way. D. Sirine was not surprised at the judges’ decision. 34. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the second paragraph? A. Music. B. Clothes. C. Talent. D. Microphone. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the story? A. Never give up your dream. B. Music lights up the world. C. True happiness lies in competition. D. Life can be too good to be true. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s important for you teenagers to know how to save money.

The cover featured a color photograph of a ball of yarn (纱线) with knitting (编织) needles artistically inserted through the middle. Memories of Mrs. Hudson, my sixth-grade teacher, came to mind. She was tall, with a kind face, and wore little makeup. Mrs. Hudson taught language arts when I was in sixth grade. Mrs. Hudson also taught knitting lessons in her home to select sixth-grade students every other Saturday from fall through winter. I was a shy girl back then considered by others as weird. It took the most pitiful expression I could find to convince my parents to let me take the knitting lessons. It then required pleading and promises of extra chores to get them to agree to drop me off and pick me up every other Saturday. Thankfully, Mrs. Hudson only lived seven miles away, and she offered the knitting lessons for free. She even supplied knitting needles and yarn. The house was quiet, tidy, and welcoming as Mrs. Hudson guided me to the room, which was already filled with girls looking as shy and nervous as I was. Yet gradually we got to know each other and relaxed. We would grab a snack and drink while everyone arrived and settled for the lesson. I drank iced tea for the first time at one of those Saturday knitting lessons. Trips to Mrs. Hudson’s house were like a treat to me back at that time. I actually made some friends who shared the same hobby. I don’t recall officially thanking Mrs. Hudson for those Saturdays, and I regretted that. I typed her name and the town where she lived into Google. Within minutes a couple of articles and multiple obituaries (讣告) popped up. There was a recent photograph inserted into one of the obituaries, and as I gazed into those eyes, there was no question that it was Mrs. Hudson. She had passed away only eight years before at the age of 99. I took down the address and decided to pay a visit. As I stood in front of the door, I gathered my courage and knocked. 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。 An old lady, who looked like Mrs. Hudson, opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was amazing that she still kept all the knitting needles and yarn. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 泸县四中2023年秋期高二半期考试 英语试题 第I卷（选择题 95分） 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 does the conversation probably take place?

M: Well, you start with something easy and work your way up to more challenging runs. If you want to enter races, you’ll find they’re graded in terms of distance and height. But just as people who do road running won’t necessarily run a marathon, you don’t have to enter mountain running races. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

It’s called Answer That, and it will be on channel five at 4:00 every Thursday. It will be just like the popular adult quiz show on the same channel on Monday afternoon. I’m sure you’ve all seen that. Every week there will be 48 children on the program. They will be in 8 teams, and each team will have 6 children. The questions will be easy at the beginning of the quiz and then they will get more difficult. They will all be about films, music and TV. So it has nothing to do with your science knowledge or whether you’re good at sports or not. In the end there will only be one team left — the winners. There will be some great prizes. Last week, the winners got a mobile phone. This week the winners will all get a new camera. Everyone loves taking photos. Next week the first prize is a computer for everyone. If you would like to be on Answer That, then call 05735 789 655. Just give your name, age and school address, so that we can fill in the application form for you. And maybe you will be on TV soon.

This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. It is packed with so much heart that you won’t be able to put it down. Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry I’ve always been attracted by the idea of the Wild West, and really Lonesome Dove is considered one of the best western novels out there. The book follows Jake Spoon, a former Texas Ranger, who’s on the run from a sheriff (治安官) from Arkansas and would love to be anywhere but Lonesome Dove. Truly this story is about carving out a place for yourself in the world. Out of Darkness, Shining Light by Petina Gappah Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. This is a powerful and adventurous story that leads the reader on a winding tale as his loyal followers attempt to get the Scottish doctor home. The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal This family drama truly feels like an adventure as you flip through its pages. At the last request of their dying mother, three estranged (疏远的) British born Punjabi sisters are forced to take a pilgrim’s tour (朝圣之旅) to Amritsar together. This is a powerful and evocative (唤起感情的) travel story from the perspective of three very different women. Together they learn about themselves, about their mother and their lives. 21. Who wrote a historical fiction novel? A. William Kent Krueger. B. Larry McMurtry. C. Petina Gappah. D. Balli Kaur Jaswal. 22. Which novel is based on true stories? A. This Tender Land B. Lonesome Dove C. Out of Darkness, Shining Light D. The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters 23. Why do the three sisters take a pilgrim to Amritsar together? A. Because they learn about themselves. B. Because their mother likes travelling. C. Because they are very fond of travelling. D. Because their dying mother asks them to do so. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是四部冒险小说的相关信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger部分中的“This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. (这是一部历史科幻小说，它不仅捕捉到了大萧条的时间和地点，而且刻画了经历大萧条的人物。)”可知，This Tender Land是一部科幻小说，其作者为William Kent Krueger。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Out of Darkness, Shining Light by Petina Gappah部分中的“Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. (这部小说根据真实事件改编，讲述了抬着Livingston博士的尸体和他的所有工作穿越非洲的男男女女们的不可思议的旅程，这样他就可以被送回英国，他的所有研究都可以被保存下来。)”可知，这部小说基于真实事件改编，所以Out of Darkness, Shining Light是基于真实故事的一部小说。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal部分中的“At the last request of their dying mother, three estranged (疏远的) British born Punjabi sisters are forced to take a pilgrim’s tour (朝圣之旅) to Amritsar together. (在垂死的母亲的最后请求下，三个疏远的英国出生的Punjabi姐妹被迫一起去Amritsar朝圣。)”可知，这三个姐妹原本是关系疏远，在垂死的母亲请求之下，她们才结伴踏上旅程。故选D项。 B A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops (干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect. Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef’s art, much like a singer’s voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors. Invitation to a Banquet is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history. What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的) branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before. In conclusion, Invitation to a Banquet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food. 24. To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou? A. A sweet dessert. B. A bowl of plain white soup. C. A dish made from expensive ingredients. D. A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured. 25. What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Include. B. Reject. C. Strengthen. D. Reduce. 26. What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banquet? A. Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine. B. Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes. C. Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors. D. Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity. 27. What’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce a dish. B. To recommend a book. C. To share an experience. D. To compare different cultures. 【答案】24 B 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美食作家邓洛普的书《宴会之邀》，包括其主要内容、特点、独特的视角等信息。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect. (然而，最令人难忘的是最后端上来的一盅口味清淡、色泽浓白的汤。它简单、朴素、完美。)”可知，对于作者来说，广州宴会上最令人难忘的一道菜是一碗口味清淡、色泽浓白的汤。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的宾语“foreign influences (外国的影响)”和下文“while still maintaining its own identity (同时仍然保持自己的身份)”可推知，中餐应该是在吸收、融合外国餐饮的影响的同时，保留了其本身的独特性。因此，incorporate应该意为“吸收，包含”，与include意思相近。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. (邓洛普作品的独特之处在于她的视角。她认为，中餐不仅在口味上更胜一筹，而且在吸收外国影响的同时仍能保持自己的特色。)”可知，《宴会之邀》这本书呈现了对中餐的独特视角，认为中国食物受到外国元素的影响，同时又保留了自己的特色。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者从自己的一次广州宴会的经历谈起，引入美食作家邓洛普的书《宴会之邀》对中餐精准独到的见解，然后具体介绍了这本书的主要内容、特点、独特的视角等信息。由此可知，文章的目的是为了推荐这本书。故选B项。 C If you feel deeply touched by Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, a painting about depressed people having dinner in an urban restaurant, but unmoved passing by a real-world diner late at night, it may be because of what’s happening inside your body. New research suggests that bodily sensations (感觉) aren’t just a by-product of art’s emotional impact but a key pathway for experiencing something as “art” in the first place. In a study involving 1,186 participants and 336 visual art pieces, researchers found that the strength of emotional experience caused by an artwork was connected with the strength of bodily sensations reported while viewing it. Emotions were measured using subjective reports, and viewers separately marked on a virtual human figure where and how they felt physical sensations. Eye tracking and participant surveys, meanwhile, evaluated viewers’ interest in the paintings and whether they considered them to be art. Bodily feelings’ scale was connected with both the strength of emotional experience and the evaluation of a piece as art. Sensations were most noticeable when participants said they felt empathy (the most commonly reported positive emotion) and when they cited “touching” and “moving” emotional experiences. Negative emotions were uncommon, but reports of “sadness” were also linked to “touching” and “moving” experiences — and to a participant categorizing a work as art. Even the excitement from a haunted house (鬼屋) are ultimately experienced as positive, as we experience our hearts racing while we know we are safe,” says study lead author Lauri Nummenmaa, a researcher at the University of Turku in Finland. “Art likely employed similar mechanisms for making us feel good. It activates our autonomic nervous system, and in the peace and quiet of an art gallery this increased bodily activity feels good to us.” Although the study used only subjective reports and didn’t measure objective physiological changes in the body, the data suggest that art perception (感知) involves awareness of the body’s internal state. Art may get under our skin to shift perception. Art may be in the whole body — not just the eye of the viewer. 28. How do the researchers measure participants’ strength of bodily feelings? A. By tracking their eye movements. B. By analyzing their personal reports. C. By touching their different body parts. D. By comparing their sensations with previous surveys. 29. Why does the author mention a haunted house in paragraph 3? A. To introduce categories of artworks. B. To show how art makes us feel good. C. To stress the importance of bodily emotion. D. To explain how negative emotions are produced. 30. What can we learn about art perception from the last paragraph? A. It is controlled by people’s expressions. B. It changes the view point of participants. C. It refers to the visual impact of the paintings. D. It is related to what’s happening inside the body. 31. In which section of a website might you read the text? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Space & Physics. D. Mind & Brain. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新的研究表明，身体感觉不仅仅是艺术情感影响的副产品，而是体验“艺术”的关键途径。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Emotions were measured using subjective reports, and viewers separately marked on a virtual human figure where and how they felt physical sensations. (通过主观报告来测量情绪，观看者分别在虚拟人物身上标记他们在哪里以及如何感受到身体感觉)”可知，研究人员通过分析他们的个人报告来测量参与者身体感受的强度。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的““Negative emotions were uncommon, but reports of “sadness ”were also linked to “touching” and “moving ” experiences — and to a participant categorizing a work as art. Even the excitement from a haunted house (鬼屋) are ultimately experienced as positive, as we experience our hearts racing while we know we are safe,” says study lead author Lauri Nummenmaa, a researcher at the University of Turku in Finland.(负面情绪并不常见，但“悲伤”的报告也与“感人的”和“感动的”的经历有关，也与参与者将作品归类为艺术有关。即使是来自鬼屋的兴奋最终也会被体验为积极的，因为当我们知道自己是安全的时候，我们会体验到心跳加速，”芬兰图尔库大学的研究员、该研究的主要作者劳里·努曼玛说)”可知，几乎没有负面情绪，即使是来自鬼屋的兴奋也是积极的。由此推知，作者提到鬼屋时为了表明艺术如何让我们感觉良好。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the study used only subjective reports and didn’t measure objective physiological changes in the body, the data suggest that art perception (感知) involves awareness of the body’s internal state. Art may get under our “skin” to shift perception. Art may be in the whole body — not just the eye-of the viewer.(虽然这项研究只使用了主观报告，并没有测量身体的客观生理变化，但数据表明，艺术感知涉及到身体内部状态的意识。艺术可能会进入我们的“皮肤”，从而改变我们的看法。艺术可能存在于整个身体中，而不仅仅是观者的眼睛)”可推知，艺术感知涉及到身体内部状态的意识，艺术感知改变参与者的观点。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“New research suggests that bodily sensations (感觉) aren’t just a by-product of art’s emotional impact but a key pathway for experiencing something as “art” in the first place.(新的研究表明，身体感觉不仅仅是艺术情感影响的副产品，而是体验“艺术”的关键途径)”以及下文内容，文章主要讲述一项研究结果，身体感觉不仅仅体验艺术情感，而是体验“艺术”的关键途径，艺术感知涉及到身体内部状态的意识。由此推知，文章或许会出现在网站的“心灵和大脑”部分。故选D。 D Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as a way to —not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance. Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the time she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music. “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said. It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music is my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition! Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.” 32 What helped Sirine get through her difficult times? A. Britain’s Got Talent. B. Her passion for music. C. Support from her parents and doctors. D. Encouragement from four judges. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Sirine displayed all her passion on stage. B. Sirine lost her sight totally at the age of five. C. Her parents focused on treatments all the way. D. Sirine was not surprised at the judges’ decision. 34. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the second paragraph? A. Music. B. Clothes. C. Talent. D. Microphone. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the story? A. Never give up your dream. B. Music lights up the world. C. True happiness lies in competition. D. Life can be too good to be true. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了盲人Sirine Jahangir用音乐帮自己度过困难时期，她的个人经历以及在“英国达人”中的出色表现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as a way to —not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance.( Sirine Jahangir从小就一直在唱歌、写作和表演音乐。她在5岁的时候失去了一只眼睛的视力，所以现在这个十几岁的女孩用她的天赋“不是逃避，而是帮助我度过难关”。她的热情不仅帮助她度过了一些困难时期，而且在她14岁的时候，还把她带到了“英国达人”的舞台上，在那里她的表演给所有人留下了深刻的印象)”可知，对音乐的热爱帮助Sirine度过了困难时期。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music is my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition!(当她出现在“英国达人”上时，她告诉大家她的激情对她来说有多重要。“我想音乐就是我的愿景，”她说。“这就是我的生活准则，音乐就是我的长处。”然后她走向钢琴，在那里她弹钢琴，唱得非常优美，足以让观众流泪！意料之中的是，除了Sirine，四位评委都投票给她进入了下一轮的比赛！)”可知，Sirine在舞台上展现了她所有的激情。故选A。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy.(我只是把音乐开得很大声。她在车里开始唱歌，她很高兴)”可知，每次父亲播放音乐，她都很开心，故it指的是“音乐”。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了盲人Sirine Jahangir用音乐帮自己度过困难时期，以及在“英国达人”中的出色表现。可知，B选项“音乐照亮了世界”最符合文章标题，故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s important for you teenagers to know how to save money.

I'm from an Inuit village in the far north of Canada. Our lives are closely connected ___56___ the natural world of the Arctic. Though we live in ___57___(regularly) houses, we stay in temporary shelters called "igloos" when we go hunting. Igloos are made of snow or ice.

Eating a lot of fish and meat___59___(keep) our bodies strong so that we can fight the cold. But the downside is that the cold weather makes it difficult ___60___ us to grow enough vegetables and fruit. It's___61___(absolute) dark here for three months of the year, ___62___ is the period called "the polar night". So, life can sometimes be boring! But the good thing is, during that time the elders tell us stories about our people. It gives us more time ___63___(stay) with our family and friends. Nowadays, ships bring tourists to the Arctic. The advantage to this is that it brings more money and job___64___(opportunity). But the disadvantage is that our environment is being polluted. But one thing is for sure: no matter how things change, our traditions will remain ____65____ important part of our lives. 【答案】56. to##with 57. regular 58. be found 59. keeps 60. for 61. absolutely 62. which 63. to stay 64. opportunities 65. an 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。来自加拿大最北部的一个因纽特村庄的玛丽讲述她们的生活与北极的自然世界的紧密相连。无论事情如何变化，我们的传统仍将是我们生活的重要组成部分。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：我们的生活与北极的自然世界紧密相连。be connected to/with与......有联系。故填to/with。 【57题详解】 考查词性转换。句意：虽然我们住在普通的房子里，但当我们去打猎时，我们会住在被称为“冰屋”的临时住所里。设空后是名词houses，修饰名词要用形容词。故填regular。 【58题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：一方面，它们内部非常温暖，到处都可以找到建筑材料。主语building materials与find间是被动关系，所以使用被动语态，且空前是情态动词，后接动词原形。故填be found。 【59题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：吃大量的鱼和肉使我们的身体强壮，这样我们就能抵御寒冷。动词-ing形式作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填keeps。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：但不利的一面是，寒冷的天气使我们很难种植足够的蔬菜和水果。在make it difficult to do这个句型中如果需要加上不定式的逻辑主语，需要借助介词for。故填for。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：这里一年中有三个月是绝对黑暗的，这段时间被称为“极夜”。设空处修饰形容词dark，要用副词。故填absolutely。 【62题详解】 考查关系代词。句意：这里一年中有三个月是绝对黑暗的，这段时间被称为“极夜”。此处引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句所述的内容。故填which。 【63题详解】 考查动词不定式作定语。句意：这让我们有更多的时间和家人朋友在一起。设空处作time的定语，说明其内容，所以用不定式形式。故填to stay。 【64题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这样做的好处是它带来了更多的钱和工作机会。opportunity是可数名词，在其前面没有表单数意义的词修饰，所以该单词需用复数形式。故填opportunities。 【65题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：但有一件事是肯定的:无论事情如何变化，我们的传统仍将是我们生活的重要组成部分。设空后是可数名词单数，此处表泛指，所以设空处需填不定冠词，important以元音音素开头。故填an。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 请你根据下面的提示，用英语对钟南山做简单介绍。钟南山信息： 1. 出生信息：1936年10月出生于南京;1960年毕业于北京医学院并留校任教; 2. 主要贡献： (1) 2003年抗击非典 (SARS epidemic); (2) 2020年抗击新冠疫情(COVID-19 outbreak); 3. 主要荣誉：2003年度“感动中国”十大人物之一。 注意：(1)词数80词左右; (2)可适当加入细节, 使内容充实、行文连贯; 参考词汇：北京医学院 Beijing Medical College 感动中国十大人物 the top ten people moving China ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dr. Zhong Nanshan was born in October 1936 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.

The cover featured a color photograph of a ball of yarn (纱线) with knitting (编织) needles artistically inserted through the middle. Memories of Mrs. Hudson, my sixth-grade teacher, came to mind. She was tall, with a kind face, and wore little makeup. Mrs. Hudson taught language arts when I was in sixth grade. Mrs. Hudson also taught knitting lessons in her home to select sixth-grade students every other Saturday from fall through winter. I was a shy girl back then, considered by others as weird. It took the most pitiful expression I could find to convince my parents to let me take the knitting lessons. It then required pleading and promises of extra chores to get them to agree to drop me off and pick me up every other Saturday. Thankfully, Mrs. Hudson only lived seven miles away, and she offered the knitting lessons for free. She even supplied knitting needles and yarn. The house was quiet, tidy, and welcoming as Mrs. Hudson guided me to the room, which was already filled with girls looking as shy and nervous as I was. Yet gradually we got to know each other and relaxed. We would grab a snack and drink while everyone arrived and settled for the lesson. I drank iced tea for the first time at one of those Saturday knitting lessons. Trips to Mrs. Hudson’s house were like a treat to me back at that time. I actually made some friends who shared the same hobby. I don’t recall officially thanking Mrs. Hudson for those Saturdays, and I regretted that. I typed her name and the town where she lived into Google. Within minutes a couple of articles and multiple obituaries (讣告) popped up. There was a recent photograph inserted into one of the obituaries, and as I gazed into those eyes, there was no question that it was Mrs. Hudson. She had passed away only eight years before at the age of 99. I took down the address and decided to pay a visit. As I stood in front of the door, I gathered my courage and knocked. 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。 An old lady, who looked like Mrs. Hudson, opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was amazing that she still kept all the knitting needles and yarn. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 An old lady, who looked like Mrs. Hudson, opened the door. Learning that I was Mrs. Hudson’s former student, she invited me in, uttering regretfully, “I’m sorry, but my mother passed away 8 years ago.” Hardly had I sat down when I was served some snack and drink. “The same flavor!” I sighed. I couldn’t wait to convey my gratitude to Mrs. Hudson, describing the scene where so many 6th-grade girls sat together, learning knitting from Mrs. Hudson and enjoying each other’s company. The lady then showed me to a room, pointing to something on a long table. It was amazing that she still kept all the knitting needles and yarn. Everything on the table was similar to what I described. When I looked back to the old lady with mixed feelings, she choked up when she began to talk about her mother. “I couldn’t understand her until I found the knitting classes did make great difference to her students.” What amazed me most was that the old lady, along with her daughter, followed in her mother’s footsteps to offer the knitting lessons for free, influencing more girls. When waving goodbye to her, I found myself planning to follow suit. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了邮箱里的一则杂志广告使作者想起来在家里给六年级女孩们免费教编织课的哈德森夫人，但意外发现她已经去世多年。作者循着地址去了哈德森夫人家，接待作者的是她的女儿，尝到熟悉的点心，作者表达着对哈德森夫人的感激之情，并描述了当时上课的场景。而哈德森夫人的女儿也给作者展示了那些依旧保留着的毛线团和编织针，并向作者讲述了母亲对她的影响，这又一次震撼到了作者，并因此觉得要传承哈德森夫人的做法。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位看起来像哈德森太太的老太太开了门。”可知，第一段可以描述作者与哈德森太太的女儿见面之后，介绍自己身份，并表达此番来意——表达对哈德森夫人的感激之情。 ②由第二段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，她仍然保留着所有的针织针和纱线。”可知，第二段可描写作者惊讶于哈德森太太去世多年，而那些针织针和纱线居然还在，哈德森太太的女儿讲述自己的母亲对她以及她的孩子的影响，以及此次经历对作者的影响。 2.续写线索：自我介绍——邀请入内——表达感谢——再见针线——女儿回忆——传承 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说：utter /say ②.唏嘘：sigh /let out a sigh ③.发现：find /spot 情绪类 ①.表达我的感激之情：convey my gratitude /show my appreciation ②.使……惊讶：amaze /surprise /astonish 【点睛】[高分句型1].
