We trained at a local gym, which was the easy part. However, I found there were lots of things that frightened me about Mount Everest. That was one of the most difficult things for climbing. Anyway, I've managed to climb the mountain twice. The first time I went, as a reporter, I carried my camera all the way, but it wasn ’t necessary. You can even forget showers on a mountain as well. On my second trip, I didn’t even take my toothbrush. But to get water, I had to melt snow, using the fuel that I brought with me. I've never reached the top of the mountain yet, but I’m not thinking of giving up . Instead , I’m planning. 第二部分阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Big Thinkers Series The 2022 Big Thinkers Series from New Scientist events features four online talks, covering a wide range of topics by world-class scientist speakers and experts.

It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark? I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. 24. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The missing leg. B. The shark attack. C. The timely rescue. D. The expert’s advice. 25. Why did the author ride the waves again? A. To go on with his unshaken hobby. B. To figure out why he became a target. C. To keep track of the phase of the moon. D. To explore why the water had a fishy smell. 26. What did the author find after he recovered? A. Humans tend to ignore the dangers. B. Humans can’t survive without sharks. C. Sharks pose a greater threat to humans D. Sharks are in urgent need of protection. 27. What does author imply in the last paragraph? A. He is speaking in favor of sharks. B. He argues against the bill about sharks. C. There is widespread doubt about sharks. D. People should give sharks a preference. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者游泳时遭遇了鲨鱼袭击，右小腿被截肢。恢复后作者对鲨鱼进行研究，发现人类对鲨鱼的威胁远大于鲨鱼对人类的威胁 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us.(1997年10月下旬，我被一条虎鲨袭击。那是在我考艾岛的家附近——一个典型的秋天早晨，和朋友们在一起。海浪真的很好，所以没有什么能阻止我们。)”和第二段“That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body.(直到一条大鲨鱼从我身下钻了过来，把牙齿咬进了我的小腿。没有溅水。没有噪音，我没有感到疼痛，只有下半身承受着巨大的压力。)”可知，第一二段主要讲作者被一条虎鲨袭击的经历。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark?(我毫不动摇地好奇——是因为潮汐吗？月相？我还记得，袭击发生的那天早上，水有一股腥味。这就是吸引鲨鱼的原因吗？)”可知，作者再次冲浪是想弄清楚他为什么会成为鲨鱼攻击的目标的原因。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段“I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. ‘I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.’(我下定决心研究鲨鱼，我确实学到了一些会改变我生活的东西：我告诉《读者文摘》，人类对鲨鱼的危险性远高于其它东西。‘我看了一部名为《Sharkwater》的纪录片，了解到人们对鱼翅汤的需求，以及每年仅凭鱼翅就有7000万条鲨鱼被杀死的事实。’)”可知，作者通过研究鲨鱼的现状后发现鲨鱼急需保护。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.(作为一名鲨鱼口中的幸存者，我的独特处境使我能够为鲨鱼发声。我开始与夏威夷州立法机构合作，帮助通过一项禁止鲨鱼衍生产品的禁令。我与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作，前往华盛顿，敦促参议员制定一项全国性的鲨鱼保护法案。)”可知，这段主要讲作者发言支持鲨鱼。故选A项。 C Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art. To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds.... Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them. We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude. 28. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. We seldom express gratitude by writing. B. We usually find messages of thanks touching. C. We should take a course for message writing. D. We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts. 29. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Leave out. B. Clear up. C. Focus on. D. Hold back. 30. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By classification. B. By example. C. By definition. D. By process. 31. Which would the author recommend to express gratitude? A. I am blessed to have such a wonderful week. B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day. C. Thank you so much for your great present. D. This is the most delicious dinner I’ve ever had. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者认为在表达感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art.(为了使我们的信息更有效，我们可以从艺术史上吸取教训)”可知，我们可以从艺术中得到写感谢信的灵感。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中的“leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds....(树叶有新生儿的手的柔软，温暖的太阳和刺骨的微风的对比，小黑鸟轻柔的叫声……)”可知，“the particular contributing factors to this niceness(造成这种美好的特殊因素)”就是指树叶有新生儿的手的柔软，温暖的太阳和刺骨的微风的对比，小黑鸟轻柔的叫声等等，再根据最后一句中的“They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’(他们不仅仅告诉我们春天很好)”可知，此处是指他们不仅仅只说春天很好，还专注在描写细节上，告诉我们因为什么春天很好。所以“zero in on”意为“专注于”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.(但我们可以相信，如果我们的思想受到了影响，那么受到影响的原因将在某个地方，等待被发现)”和第三段最后一句“The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them.(细节会在那里，等着我们抓住它们)”可知，第二句和最后一句前后呼应，第三句和第四句“We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered.(我们会意识到，食物并不是那么美味；但土豆特别有迷迭香和大蒜的香味。朋友不仅仅是“好”的；当我们遭受苦难时，他们带着一种非常敏感和慷慨的语气问我们怎么样)”是在对此举例。由此可知，第三段是通过举例来论证观点。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.(我们只需要找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由来表达我们的感激之情)”可知，作者认为在表达感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由，所以选项B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day.(你的关怀和温暖的微笑照亮了我的一天)属于这种详细的理由，作者会推荐选项B。故选B。 D Public health data signals a genuine crisis in adolescent mental health: rising rates of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. But as we worry about teens who are struggling, we can’t ignore another mounting effect — the burdens that are shouldered by heir friends and peers in an “always on” world. We have studied teens and lech for over a decade. Their networks are ever-expanding, in no small part because there’s a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends. And it’s not just staying connected — it’s keeping up with what others post, too. Social media platforms thus make it technically possible to maintain more relationships than ever before. The result is an overwhelming wave of social information. It’s especially intense for adolescents whose sensitivities drive them to care deeply about what their peers are doing and thinking. Significant stress comes with trying to be a “good friend” in the age of social media. Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support. Even before a social media post is made public, close friends can be pulled into photo selection, editing, and final examination. Besides, they need to respond in the right way and in the right amount of time, which differs from one relationship to another. Replying too quickly can be seen as over-eager, especially when the friendship is new or not close. But when it’s a close friend, too long a lag (延迟) can be hurtful. Technologies have transformed how friendships play out. Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good friend. Too often, these dynamics hit teens hard in ways that are ignored by adults. And that is what should be changed with the help of parents, schools and other parts of society. 32. W hat makes teenagers’ networks continue to expand? A. The pressure to be nice. B. The requests of their parents. C. The need to meet more people. D. The burden of living independently. 33. What does the author think of being a good friend in the age of social media? A. Exciting. B. Challenging. C. Time-saving. D. Risk-taking. 34. What should be changed according to the last paragraph? A. The qualities of being a teen friend. B. The conflicts between schools and parents. C. The relations between parents and their teens. D. The influences of social media on teen friendship. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Why more teens are addicted to social media. B. How teens nowadays gain long-standing friendships. C. How social media has made teen friendships more stressful. D. What makes teens become more sensitive to their peers’ needs. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是社交媒体是如何让青少年的友谊变得更紧张的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Their networks are ever expanding, in no small part because there’s a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends. (他们的社交网络不断扩大，很大程度上是因为他们觉得友善意味着接受来自熟人和朋友的朋友的请求。)”可知，让青少年的社交网络不断扩大的是友善的压力。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Significant stress comes with trying to be a “good friend” in the age of social media. Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support. Even before a social media post is made public, close friends can be pulled into photo selection, editing, and final examination. Besides, they need to respond in the right way and in the right amount of time, which differs from one relationship to another. (在社交媒体时代，试图成为“好朋友”会带来巨大的压力。友谊需要公开和幕后的支持。甚至在社交媒体帖子被公开之前，亲密的朋友就可以参与照片的选择、编辑和最终检查。此外，他们需要以正确的方式和适当的时间做出回应，这在不同的关系中是不同的。)”可知，在社交媒体时代做一个好朋友是具有挑战性的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Technologies have transformed how friendships play out. Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good Friend. Too often, these dynamics hit. teens hard in ways that are ignored by adults. And that is what should be changed with the help of parents, schools and other parts of society. (但科技已经改变了友谊的发展方式。社交媒体增加了成为好朋友的负担。通常情况下，这些动态对青少年的影响是成年人所忽视的。在家长、学校和社会其他方面的帮助下，这种情况应该得到改变。”可知，根据最后一段，应该改变的是社交媒体对青少年友谊的影响。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“But as we worry about teens who are struggling, we can’t ignore another mounting effect—the burdens that are shouldered by their friends and peers in an “always on” world. (但是，当我们担心那些正在挣扎的青少年时，我们不能忽视另一个日益增加的影响——在一个“永远在线”的世界里，他们的朋友和同龄人所承担的负担。）”可知，本文主要讲的是社交媒体如何让青少年的友谊变得更紧张的，故选C。 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。 Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes. ____36____—“Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!” What is my advice to beginners? I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained; ____37____ But that’s not what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over—____38____ What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it. If I’m taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how much they’ve harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting. ____39____ I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects. Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer. ____40____ so start there, and start today. A. Let the story guide you. B. I have virtually no art experience. C. Like anything, photography requires practice. D. Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore. E. Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone. F. It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties. G. I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者结合自身经历给出了一些摄影的建议。 【36题详解】 上文“Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes.(摄影对我来说一直是个关键。它为我打开了一扇门，给了我一个更有目的旅行的借口，让我看到了幕后。)”提到了摄影对作者的重要性；下文““Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”(“还是聊回拍照吧。这很好聊!”)”转而提到“回到拍照的话题”，为过渡句，下文第二段开始提出学习摄影的建议。由此可知，设空处应是承接上文的话题，与摄影的好处相关。F项“It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.(这也有助于在聚会上避免尴尬的闲聊。)”中的it指代上文的Photography，also helps也与上文对应。故选F项。 【37题详解】 上文“I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained;(我没有学过摄影；我没有受过正规训练；)”提到了作者既没学过摄影，也没有受过正规训练；下文“But that’s not what photography is about for me.(但这不是摄影对我的意义。)”转而提到上文提到的那些都不是摄影对作者的意义。结合设空处前面的分号可知，设空处与上文两个句子构成排比句式。B项“I have virtually no art experience.(我几乎没有美术经验。)”与上文对应。故选B项。 【38题详解】 上文“If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over(如果你想成为一名摄影师，就要不断地问自己这个问题：“这里的故事是什么？”无论你是在你最喜欢的餐馆拍摄一道菜，还是在处理剩饭剩菜的食物垃圾处理厂)”提到了如果相当一名摄影师，就要不断问自己“这里的故事是什么？”；下文“What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it.(这是什么意思？如果我正在为Social Supply拍摄晚宴，重要的是不仅要捕捉一盘食物，还要退后一步，捕捉周围的场景。)”通过举例子进一步解释了问“这里的故事是什么？”的含义。A项“Let the story guide you.(让故事引导你。)”与上文的“What is the story here?”对应。故选A项。 【39题详解】 设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.(仅今年一年，我就拍了数十万张照片。你拍得越多，你就会越好。所以，开始拍摄吧，什么都可以，尤其是你朋友的生意和项目。)”提到了拍得越多，就会越好，说明摄影是需要练习的。C项“Like anything, photography requires practice.(像任何事情一样，摄影需要练习。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。 【40题详解】 上文“Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer.(我有好的相机吗？是的，但有些人仍然认为我从手机上发布的照片是用那台相机拍摄的，所以不要把一个好设备和一个好摄影师混为一谈。)”提到了不要把好设备和好摄影师混为一谈，由此可知，设空处应与摄影设备和摄影师有关。E项“Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.(我最喜欢的一些摄影师只用他们的手机拍。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A mom named Mimi Wallace discovered her daughter Olive’s handwritten composition.

This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble. Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water. Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears? 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。 To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson to coach me. She taught me how to propel myself forward in the water and I gradually gained confidence in the pool. Slowly but surely, I improved under her guidance and encouragement. Four months later, it was time for me to take my swimming test. I jumped into the pool and followed all of Kathy’s advice. I swam gracefully, just like a fish, and passed the test with flying colours. “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! You’re a wonderful friend! If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!” I exclaimed. Since then, our friendship has blossomed. We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow. Surprisingly, I grew to love the water. A friend like Kathy is hard to come by. She has a heart of gold and I will definitely treasure our precious friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者非常怕水，但是学校要求所有学生都要通过游泳考试，于是父母在家附近为作者报了游泳课程，作者不情愿地去上课，上课过程也非常痛苦，Kathy是游泳课上表现最好的学生，一次艰难的游泳课后作者鼓起勇气问Kathy能否教自己有用，忐忑地等待Kathy的回答。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我吃惊的是，沉默了一会儿之后，她点了点头。”可知，第一段可描写Kathy指导作者游泳，作者顺利通过了游泳考试。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘恭喜你！’Kathy得知我通过了游泳考试后说。”可知，第二段可描写作者感谢Kathy并和Kathy成为了朋友。 2.续写线索：教游泳——进步——通过考试——感谢——成为朋友——爱上水 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进步：improve/make progress ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③玩得开心：have fun/enjoy oneself 情绪类 ①自信：gain confidence/become confident ②惊讶：surprisingly/astinoshingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!（由if引导的虚拟条件句） [高分句型2] We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow.（由现分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 柘荣一中2024—2025学年（上）高三英语第二次月考试卷 （满分：150分时间：120分钟） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 请听下面5段对话, 选出最佳选项。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What’s the woman’s favorite food in the restaurant?

B I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark? I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. 24. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The missing leg. B. The shark attack. C. The timely rescue. D. The expert’s advice. 25. Why did the author ride the waves again? A. To go on with his unshaken hobby. B. To figure out why he became a target. C. To keep track of the phase of the moon. D. To explore why the water had a fishy smell. 26. What did the author find after he recovered? A. Humans tend to ignore the dangers. B. Humans can’t survive without sharks. C. Sharks pose a greater threat to humans D. Sharks are in urgent need of protection. 27 What does author imply in the last paragraph? A. He is speaking in favor of sharks. B. He argues against the bill about sharks. C. There is widespread doubt about sharks. D. People should give sharks a preference. C Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art. To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds.... Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them. We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude. 28. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. We seldom express gratitude by writing. B. We usually find messages of thanks touching. C We should take a course for message writing. D. We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts. 29. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Leave out. B. Clear up. C. Focus on. D. Hold back. 30. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By classification. B. By example. C. By definition. D. By process. 31. Which would the author recommend to express gratitude? A. I am blessed to have such a wonderful week. B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day. C Thank you so much for your great present. D This is the most delicious dinner I’ve ever had. D Public health data signals a genuine crisis in adolescent mental health: rising rates of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. But as we worry about teens who are struggling, we can’t ignore another mounting effect — the burdens that are shouldered by heir friends and peers in an “always on” world. We have studied teens and lech for over a decade. Their networks are ever-expanding, in no small part because there’s a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends. And it’s not just staying connected — it’s keeping up with what others post, too. Social media platforms thus make it technically possible to maintain more relationships than ever before. The result is an overwhelming wave of social information. It’s especially intense for adolescents whose sensitivities drive them to care deeply about what their peers are doing and thinking. Significant stress comes with trying to be a “good friend” in the age of social media. Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support. Even before a social media post is made public, close friends can be pulled into photo selection, editing, and final examination. Besides, they need to respond in the right way and in the right amount of time, which differs from one relationship to another. Replying too quickly can be seen as over-eager, especially when the friendship is new or not close. But when it’s a close friend, too long a lag (延迟) can be hurtful. Technologies have transformed how friendships play out. Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good friend. Too often, these dynamics hit teens hard in ways that are ignored by adults. And that is what should be changed with the help of parents, schools and other parts of society. 32. W hat makes teenagers’ networks continue to expand? A. The pressure to be nice. B. The requests of their parents. C. The need to meet more people. D. The burden of living independently. 33. What does the author think of being a good friend in the age of social media? A. Exciting. B. Challenging. C. Time-saving. D. Risk-taking. 34. What should be changed according to the last paragraph? A. The qualities of being a teen friend. B. The conflicts between schools and parents. C. The relations between parents and their teens. D. The influences of social media on teen friendship. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Why more teens are addicted to social media. B. How teens nowadays gain long-standing friendships. C. How social media has made teen friendships more stressful. D. What makes teens become more sensitive to their peers’ needs. 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。 Photography for me has always been a key.

This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble. Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water. Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears? 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。 To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
