As a distraction, I suggested a driving lesson in my old car. She had her L-plates (临时驾驶许可证) but was unwilling at first because she has never been a fan of not being able to master something quickly. Teaching a child to drive requires patience and a calm voice. After a week of car park driving, I told her to hit the road. During the second week of driving lessons, she mastered turning and finally remembered to take the handbrake (手刹) off before speeding up. By the third week, her fear had gone. She even wanted the radio on while driving. I told her she had to reach 10 hours without incident and then she could listen to my choice of music. Each day, we’d drive for hours. It reminded me of all those trips when she was in the passenger seat and conversation would flow. Sitting side by side, she’d tell me many things. Now it was my turn to talk. For the past year, we’d lived through hundreds of days of restrictions. With my daughter learning to drive came laughter. The more she drove, the more she loved to drive. In all those hours of watching my daughter learn something, and revel in it, I’d handed her the reins (控制权). My daughter has booked her driving test. I’ll miss the hours we’ve spent, sitting side by side, learning something new about each other. 24. Why was the daughter unwilling to drive at first? A. She felt driving was unsafe. B. She disliked the slow leaning process. C. She wanted to spend more time reading. D. She had fallen behind with her schooling. 25. When could the daughter listen to the radio while driving? A. Until she could drive around in circles. B. Until she could make turns while driving. C. Until she could drive for 10 hours without any difficulties. D. Until she could take the handbrake off before speeding up. 26. What does the underlined words “revel in” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Take part in. B. Take pleasure in. C. Believe in. D. Give in. 27. Which would be the best title for this text? A. My Daughter’s Driving Started B. My Daughter Passed Her Test C. The Love for Our Old Car Mattered D. Driving Lessons Brought Us Closer 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者陪着女儿逐渐掌握开车技巧，驾驶课程拉近了母女距离的故事 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“She had her L-plates but was unwilling at first because she has never been a fan of not being able to master something quickly. (她有临时驾驶许可证，但一开始不愿意，因为她从来都不喜欢不能快速掌握某件事。)”可知，女儿一开始不愿意开车是因为她不喜欢缓慢的学习过程。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“She even wanted the radio on while driving. I told her she had to reach 10 hours without incident and then she could listen to my choice of music. (她甚至想在开车的时候开着收音机。我告诉她，她必须在没有意外的情况下达到10小时，然后她可以听我选择的音乐。)”可知，直到女儿能毫无困难地开10个小时才可以听收音机。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“With my daughter learning to drive came laughter. The more she drove, the more she loved to drive. (随着女儿学开车，笑声四起。她开得越多，就越喜欢开车。)”可知，女儿喜欢开车、享受开车，所以划线短语的意思是“酷爱，着迷，喜欢，享受”。A. Take part in参与；B. Take pleasure in享受；C. Believe in相信；D. Give in屈服。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“My daughter has booked her driving test. I’ll miss the hours we’ve spent, sitting side by side, learning something new about each other. (我女儿已经预约了驾驶考试。我会怀念我们一起度过的时光，并肩而坐，相互了解新的东西。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者陪着女儿逐渐掌握开车技巧，驾驶课程拉近了母女距离的故事。因此D项“驾驶课让我们贴近”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 C Beginning construction in 1632, the Taj Mahal is located in this city of Agra. It is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world. In fact, it was named one of the new seven wonders of the world. But it could become more difficult to see and to glimpse this glorious site because of pollution. It’s an unhealthy, even hazardous (危险的) problem for parts of India. Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai were among the 10 most polluted cities on earth this week, according to a Swiss company called IQAir. CNN’s Michael Holmes explains what it all means. India’s iconic monument almost lost in the smog in the city of Agra. We are facing difficulty in taking pictures of Taj Mahal due to pollution. The Taj Mahal is not clearly visible. Every year, when the temperatures drop and farmers burn their fields, the air turns toxic (有毒的) in many Indian cities. Delhi is notoriously (声名狼藉) ranked among the world’s most polluted cities. And the current air quality there has once again reached hazardous conditions, forcing primary schools to temporarily close and many people to work from home or just stay indoors altogether. The problem is so serious. A recent air quality life index report says poor air quality could shorten an average Indian’s life expectancy by more than five years, if World Health Organization guidelines on controlling pollution aren’t met. And it’s even affecting one of the country’s favorite pastimes. India is currently hosting the Cricket World Cup with Bangladesh set to play Sri Lanka in a match in Delhi. But the air quality is so poor. Some players are wearing masks and both teams have canceled training sessions. The coach of Bangladesh’s team says the conditions have not been ideal. 28. Which is the least polluted city according to the text? A Agra. B. Mumbai. C. Delhi. D. Kolkata. 29. What caused the air pollution in many Indian cities? A. Forest fires and farmers’ burning. B. Low temperature and forest fires. C. Global warming and low temperature. D. Low temperature and farmers’ burning. 30. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful scenic spots. B. All schools were forced to close in many Indian cities. C. Indians may have a shorter lifespan if no measures are taken. D. In the Cricket World Cup India is set to play Bangladesh in a match. 31. What does the author want to convey in the passage? A. To reveal the real cause for air pollution. B. To express concern for the athletes in the match. C. To prove the Taj Mahal has lost its charm in smog. D. To show the impact of air pollution in India on all sides. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印度空气污染对各方面的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai were among the 10 most polluted cities on earth this week, according to a Swiss company called IQAir. (据一家名为IQAir的瑞士公司称，德里、加尔各答和孟买是本周地球上污染最严重的10个城市之一。)”和倒数第二段中“Delhi is notoriously (声名狼藉) ranked among the world’s most polluted cities. (众所周知，德里是世界上污染最严重的城市之一。)”可知，德里、加尔各答、孟买相对于阿格拉污染要严重些。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Every year, when the temperatures drop and farmers burn their fields, the air turns toxic (有毒的) in many Indian cities. (每年，当气温下降，农民焚烧农田时，印度许多城市的空气就会变得有毒。)”可知，低温和农民的焚烧导致了印度许多城市的空气污染。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“A recent air quality life index report says poor air quality could shorten an average Indian’s life expectancy by more than five years, if World Health Organization guidelines on controlling pollution aren’t met. (最近的一份空气质量寿命指数报告说，如果不符合世界卫生组织控制污染的指导方针，糟糕的空气质量可能会使印度人的平均预期寿命缩短五年以上。)”可知，如果不采取措施控制污染，印度人的寿命可能会缩短。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“But it could become more difficult to see and to glimpse this glorious site because of pollution. It’s an unhealthy, even hazardous (危险的) problem for parts of India. (但是，由于污染，要看到和瞥见这个美丽的地方可能会变得更加困难。对印度部分地区来说，这是一个不健康甚至危险的问题。)”可知，文章主要介绍了印度空气污染对各方面的影响。故选D。 D The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans. The median age (中位年龄) of American viewers of the games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39. That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro games of 2016. Overall viewing figures are sinking, too. At the most recent games in Tokyo in 2021, they were a third lower than in 2008. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has admitted that the games risk losing connection. To keep connected with society, the Olympics are expanding, adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports. In Tokyo, climbing, skateboarding and surfing were put on the schedule. In Paris this year, breakdancing will feature for the first time. Undoubtedly the youth will be excited. But if Mr. Bach wants the Olympics to become more relevant to more people, the best idea would be to include e-sports. So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad. An inaugural (首次的) Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in June. But the choice of events puzzled fans. The archery game, for instance, had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced. The most recognisable event, ”Just Dance“, is not considered an e-sport by fans. The experiment resulted in widespread doubt. Peak viewership was only more than 22,000. E-sports command a huge audience. Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics, which have seen the costs of infrastructure (基础设施) in recent years. The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship. Besides, the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand. For one, e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports, it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect. 32. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. The viewing number of the Olympics is reducing. B. The Olympic Games are always popular in America. C. The IOC didn’t realize the problems of the Olympics. D. The median age of Olympic viewers remained the same. 33. How do the Olympics keep connected with society? A. By focusing on more popular and contemporary events. B. By adding more sports attracting the younger generation. C. By cutting down the number of traditional sports in the Games. D. By hosting the Olympics in more countries with diverse cultures. 34. What was viewers’ attitude toward the inaugural Olympic E-sports Week? A. Unclear. B. Satisfied. C. Tolerant. D. Uninterested. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A Differences between traditional sports and e-sports. B. Advantages of culturally diverse nations in e-sports. C. Potential benefits of including e-sports in the Olympics. D. Suggestions on building a safe gaming environment for e-sports. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥运会的观众人数正在减少，因此奥运会推出了新的项目。文章讲述了人们对新项目的反应和将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans. The median age (中位年龄) of American viewers of the games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39. That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro games of 2016. Overall viewing figures are sinking, too. At the most recent games in Tokyo in 2021, they were a third lower than in 2008. (奥运会是古老的，球迷也是。1992年巴塞罗那奥运会美国观众的平均年龄是39岁。而在2016年的里约热内卢奥运会上，这一数字上升到了53。总体收视率也在下降。在最近的2021年东京奥运会上，这一数字比2008年低了三分之一。)”可知，奥运会的观众人数正在减少。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has admitted that the games risk losing connection. To keep connected with society, the Olympics are expanding, adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports. (国际奥委会(IOC)主席Thomas Bach承认，奥运会有失去联系的风险。为了与社会保持联系，奥运会正在扩大规模，增加了巴赫所说的“以年轻人为基础”的体育项目。)”可知，奥运会应通过增加更多吸引年轻一代的运动项目来与社会保持联系。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段“So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad. An inaugural (首次的) Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in June. But the choice of events puzzled fans. The archery game, for instance, had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced. The most recognisable event, ”Just Dance“, is not considered an e-sport by fans. The experiment resulted in widespread doubt. Peak viewership was only more than 22,000. (到目前为止，国际奥委会对待电子竞技就像对待一个不太酷的爸爸。首届奥林匹克电子竞技周于6月在新加坡举行。但赛事的选择让球迷们感到困惑。例如，在宣布举办比赛之前，这款射箭游戏的下载量仅为100次。最知名的赛事“Just Dance”并不被粉丝视为电子竞技。这个实验引起了广泛的怀疑。最高收视人数只有2.2万多人。)”可知，观众对首届奥运会电子竞技周不感兴趣。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“E-sports command a huge audience. Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics, which have seen the costs of infrastructure (基础设施) in recent years. The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship. Besides, the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand. For one, e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports, it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect. (电子竞技吸引了大量的观众。吸引大量观众对奥运会来说很重要，因为近年来奥运会的基础设施成本很高。电子竞技的加入将增加媒体版权和赞助的收入。此外，国际奥委会改变立场还有其他原因。首先，电子竞技可以为更多不同的国家带来奥林匹克的荣耀，就像传统体育一样，它可以展示奥林匹克的三个价值观：卓越、友谊和尊重。)”可知，最后一段主要讲将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。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。 Negative thoughts we have about ourselves can destroy our spirits.

I'm good at it." instead of saying "I'm not good enough"（告诉自己“我能行”。我很擅长。”而不是说“我不够好”。）可知，是在强调永远保持积极的态度，而不是说一些消极的话。故选F。 【点睛】七选五做题技巧。做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索，再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。代入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。如第五小题，根据上文Tell yourself " I am able. I'm good at it.” instead of saying" I'm not good enough"（告诉自己“我能行”。我很擅长。而不是说“我不够好”。）可知是在强调永远保持积极的态度，而不是说一些消极的话，与此相关的只有F项，故选F。 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。 Chiara Beer, 27, who lives in Winchester, suffered a serious stroke(中风) as a baby.

She was the kind of teacher that just about everyone has had at least once: Scary. Her reputation was not unlike that of Dracula. Miss Baugh allowed no nonsense (胡言乱语). She drilled us and taught us to take school seriously. She also introduced to us the concept of “extra credit” for a correct response to a random question — and a frown for an incorrect one. Miss Baugh had been teaching for a long time and knew how to frighten even the naughty boys in the back row, including me. She managed to scare us all. But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap prank (恶作剧) pieces — an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned, and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a puddle of ink. Of all the people I could have pranked, I chose Miss Baugh somehow. At the beginning of the class, before she’d returned to her classroom, I dared to approach her desk. I opened her grade book and placed the bottle and the black metal on one of the pages, proudly noting that it truly did look like spilled ink! Then I went to my desk and waited for the fun. I wasn’t disappointed. When Miss Baugh saw the items, she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with. The prank had succeeded the way beyond my expectations. But immediately she discovered that it was just a piece of black metal. She picked up the “puddle”, then the bottle, and examined them. She looked up with eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly stare. Some of my classmates who had seen me set up the fake spill carefully avoided looking at me, so as not to give me away. Then came the unavoidable question: “Who did this?” 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。 After a few violent beats in my heart, I slowly raised my hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Miss Baugh was as strict as before, but something changed in me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a few violent beats in my heart, I slowly raised my hand. Miss Baugh fixed me with a stare that struck terror in my heart. The whole classroom fell into a dead silence. I thought a storm of criticism was coming, but unexpectedly, she just laughed. “Well, it certainly fooled me!” she said, with a satisfied expression spreading across her face. She returned the prank pieces to me, and for a few seconds a sweet little old lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood. Miss Baugh was as strict as before, but something changed in me. She continued to lead us in our social studies with her serious attitude. I didn’t prank others any longer and was more focused on my study. And she became a good teacher worthy of respect in my heart just because I glimpsed that Miss Baugh had a warm human being beneath her stern face. That may have been the most enduring “extra credit” I received in seventh-grade social studies. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在七年级的时候，因为Baugh老师非常严厉，所以作者想出一个恶作剧来捉弄Baugh老师的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①第一段首句内容“我的心剧烈地跳动了几下，我慢慢地举起了手。”可知，第一段可描写作者承认是自己捉弄了Baugh老师后发生的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“Baugh老师还是像以前一样严厉，但我有些改变了。”可知，第二段可描写Baugh老师对作者影响和作者自己的改变。 2.续写线索：承认错误——老师的反应——继续严格要求学生——作者的改变——个人感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①归还：return/give back ②出现：appear/turn up ③继续：continue/go on/keep 情绪类 ①出乎意料地：unexpectedly/cap the climax ②满意的：satisfied/pleasant 【点睛】[高分句型1].I thought a storm of criticism was coming, but unexpectedly, she just laughed.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) [高分句型2] And she became a good teacher worthy of respect in my heart just because I glimpsed that Miss Baugh had a warm human being beneath her stern face. (运用了because引导原因状语从句及that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型3] That may have been the most enduring “extra credit” I received in seventh-grade social studies.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 横峰中学 2024-2025 学年度第一学期高二年级第一次月考 英语学科试卷 考试时长：120分钟 试卷满分：150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】 What is the woman looking for?

She had her L-plates (临时驾驶许可证) but was unwilling at first because she has never been a fan of not being able to master something quickly. Teaching a child to drive requires patience and a calm voice. After a week of car park driving, I told her to hit the road. During the second week of driving lessons, she mastered turning and finally remembered to take the handbrake (手刹) off before speeding up. By the third week, her fear had gone. She even wanted the radio on while driving. I told her she had to reach 10 hours without incident and then she could listen to my choice of music. Each day, we’d drive for hours. It reminded me of all those trips when she was in the passenger seat and conversation would flow. Sitting side by side, she’d tell me many things. Now it was my turn to talk. For the past year, we’d lived through hundreds of days of restrictions. With my daughter learning to drive came laughter. The more she drove, the more she loved to drive. In all those hours of watching my daughter learn something, and revel in it, I’d handed her the reins (控制权). My daughter has booked her driving test. I’ll miss the hours we’ve spent, sitting side by side, learning something new about each other. 24. Why was the daughter unwilling to drive at first? A. She felt driving was unsafe. B. She disliked the slow leaning process. C. She wanted to spend more time reading. D. She had fallen behind with her schooling. 25. When could the daughter listen to the radio while driving? A. Until she could drive around in circles. B. Until she could make turns while driving. C. Until she could drive for 10 hours without any difficulties. D. Until she could take the handbrake off before speeding up. 26. What does the underlined words “revel in” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Take part in. B. Take pleasure in. C. Believe in. D. Give in. 27. Which would be the best title for this text? A. My Daughter’s Driving Started B. My Daughter Passed Her Test C. The Love for Our Old Car Mattered D. Driving Lessons Brought Us Closer C Beginning construction in 1632, the Taj Mahal is located in this city of Agra. It is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world. In fact, it was named one of the new seven wonders of the world. But it could become more difficult to see and to glimpse this glorious site because of pollution. It’s an unhealthy, even hazardous (危险的) problem for parts of India. Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai were among the 10 most polluted cities on earth this week, according to a Swiss company called IQAir. CNN’s Michael Holmes explains what it all means. India’s iconic monument almost lost in the smog in the city of Agra. We are facing difficulty in taking pictures of Taj Mahal due to pollution. The Taj Mahal is not clearly visible. Every year, when the temperatures drop and farmers burn their fields, the air turns toxic (有毒的) in many Indian cities. Delhi is notoriously (声名狼藉) ranked among the world’s most polluted cities. And the current air quality there has once again reached hazardous conditions, forcing primary schools to temporarily close and many people to work from home or just stay indoors altogether. The problem is so serious. A recent air quality life index report says poor air quality could shorten an average Indian’s life expectancy by more than five years, if World Health Organization guidelines on controlling pollution aren’t met. And it’s even affecting one of the country’s favorite pastimes. India is currently hosting the Cricket World Cup with Bangladesh set to play Sri Lanka in a match in Delhi. But the air quality is so poor. Some players are wearing masks and both teams have canceled training sessions. The coach of Bangladesh’s team says the conditions have not been ideal. 28. Which is the least polluted city according to the text? A. Agra. B. Mumbai. C. Delhi. D. Kolkata. 29. What caused the air pollution in many Indian cities? A. Forest fires and farmers’ burning. B. Low temperature and forest fires. C. Global warming and low temperature. D. Low temperature and farmers’ burning. 30. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful scenic spots. B. All schools were forced to close in many Indian cities. C. Indians may have a shorter lifespan if no measures are taken. D. In the Cricket World Cup, India is set to play Bangladesh in a match. 31. What does the author want to convey in the passage? A. To reveal the real cause for air pollution. B. To express concern for the athletes in the match. C. To prove the Taj Mahal has lost its charm in smog. D. To show the impact of air pollution in India on all sides. D The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans. The median age (中位年龄) of American viewers of the games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39. That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro games of 2016. Overall viewing figures are sinking, too. At the most recent games in Tokyo in 2021, they were a third lower than in 2008. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has admitted that the games risk losing connection. To keep connected with society, the Olympics are expanding, adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports. In Tokyo, climbing, skateboarding and surfing were put on the schedule. In Paris this year, breakdancing will feature for the first time. Undoubtedly the youth will be excited. But if Mr. Bach wants the Olympics to become more relevant to more people, the best idea would be to include e-sports. So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad. An inaugural (首次的) Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in June. But the choice of events puzzled fans. The archery game, for instance, had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced. The most recognisable event, ”Just Dance“, is not considered an e-sport by fans. The experiment resulted in widespread doubt. Peak viewership was only more than 22,000. E-sports command a huge audience. Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics, which have seen the costs of infrastructure (基础设施) in recent years. The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship. Besides, the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand. For one, e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports, it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect. 32. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. The viewing number of the Olympics is reducing. B. The Olympic Games are always popular in America. C. The IOC didn’t realize the problems of the Olympics. D. The median age of Olympic viewers remained the same. 33. How do the Olympics keep connected with society? A. By focusing on more popular and contemporary events. B By adding more sports attracting the younger generation. C. By cutting down the number of traditional sports in the Games. D. By hosting the Olympics in more countries with diverse cultures. 34. What was viewers’ attitude toward the inaugural Olympic E-sports Week? A. Unclear. B. Satisfied. C. Tolerant. D. Uninterested. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Differences between traditional sports and e-sports. B. Advantages of culturally diverse nations in e-sports. C. Potential benefits of including e-sports in the Olympics. D. Suggestions on building a safe gaming environment for e-sports. 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。 Negative thoughts we have about ourselves can destroy our spirits.

She was the kind of teacher that just about everyone has had at least once: Scary. Her reputation was not unlike that of Dracula. Miss Baugh allowed no nonsense (胡言乱语). She drilled us and taught us to take school seriously. She also introduced to us the concept of “extra credit” for a correct response to a random question — and a frown for an incorrect one. Miss Baugh had been teaching for a long time and knew how to frighten even the naughty boys in the back row, including me. She managed to scare us all. But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap prank (恶作剧) pieces — an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned, and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a puddle of ink. Of all the people I could have pranked, I chose Miss Baugh somehow. At the beginning of the class, before she’d returned to her classroom, I dared to approach her desk. I opened her grade book and placed the bottle and the black metal on one of the pages, proudly noting that it truly did look like spilled ink! Then I went to my desk and waited for the fun. I wasn’t disappointed. When Miss Baugh saw the items, she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with. The prank had succeeded the way beyond my expectations. But immediately she discovered that it was just a piece of black metal. She picked up the “puddle”, then the bottle, and examined them. She looked up with eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly stare. Some of my classmates who had seen me set up the fake spill carefully avoided looking at me, so as not to give me away. Then came the unavoidable question: “Who did this?” 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。 After a few violent beats in my heart, I slowly raised my hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Miss Baugh was as strict as before, but something changed in me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
