It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just 70 days to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Ms Harrison, who’s from North Yorkshire, England, didn’t have loads of experience in rowing long distances. She’d only gotten the idea three years earlier when she happened to be in Antigua and saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I just thought, I want to do this, so I’m going to do it,” she said. Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands in December and row roughly 3,000 miles (4, 828 kilometers) across the Atlantic. Some handle the rowing in teams of two, three, or four. Others, like Ms Harrison, row by themselves. It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound (250-kilogram) boat across the ocean. On average, she rowed about 20, 000 strokes a day, covering roughly 60 miles (97 kilometers). Ms Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself, which she says she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music. She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins. “I’m in their environment,” she said. “It’s just amazing.” But there was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. “Everything happened when I was asleep,” she said. Somehow, she kept going. On 20 February, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached the island of Antigua — the end of the journey. 8. What led to Jasmine Harrison’s brave move? A. Her friends’ encouragement. B. Her family members’ support. C. Seeing other successful rowers. D. Rowing long distances for ages. 9. How long did Jasmine Harrison row? A. About 3, 000 miles. B. About 3, 200 miles. C. About 4, 000 miles. D. About 4, 200 miles. 10. What does the author try to show by mentioning whales and dolphins? A. Ocean animals were friendly. B. Rowing alone was dangerous. C. Jasmine Harrison wasn’t alone. D. Jasmine Harrison loved animals. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. An Impossible Dream Comes True. B. 21-Year-Old Rows Across Atlantic. C. Young Woman Breaks World Record. D. She Spends 70 Days Alone on the Sea. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了21岁的游泳老师哈里森只用了70天就横渡了大西洋，成为世界上最年轻的独自划船横渡大洋的女性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Ms Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself, which she says she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music. (哈里森女士有一个卫星电话，可以让她每天与家人和朋友通话。但这次旅行仍然给她留下了很多独处的时间，她说她很享受。但当她的扬声器掉进水里后，事情变得有点困难，她再也不能听音乐了。)”，第六段“She had other company along the way. (一路上她还有其他同伴)”可知，哈里森随身携带的电话扬声器掉入海水，使她无法和家人朋友通话，但是她身边有其他同伴，这些同伴一路鼓励她前行。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just 70 days to row across the Atlantic Ocean. (这位21岁的游泳老师只用了70天就横渡了大西洋。)”，以及第四段“On average, she rowed about 20，000 strokes a day, covering roughly 60 miles (97 kilometers). (她平均每天划2万次，行程约60英里(97公里)。)”可知，每天60英里，哈里森花了70天时间横渡大西洋，故总里程为大约4200英里。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins. ‘I’m in their environment,’ she said. ‘It’s just amazing.’ (一路上她还有其他同伴。她看到了许多海洋生物，包括几头鲸鱼。有一个甚至在她的船旁边从海里冒了出来。几天来，她一直被一群海豚尾随。她说‘我处在他们的环境中，这太神奇了。’)”可知，哈里森一路上有许多海洋生物，文章提到鲸和海豚，说明哈里森不孤独。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Last Saturday morning, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row alone across an ocean. It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just 70 days to row across the Atlantic Ocean. (上周六早上，贾斯敏·哈里森成为了世界上最年轻的独自划船横渡大洋的女性。这位21岁的游泳老师只用了70天就横渡了大西洋。)”可知，文章为一篇新闻报道，介绍了21岁的哈里森独自划船横渡大洋的经历。B项“21-Year-Old Rows Across Atlantic. (21岁划船横跨大西洋。)”适合作为标题。故选B项。 D Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think? 12. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now? A. His job. B. His pay. C. His means of transport. D. His health. 13. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true? A. He got higher pay. B. His working hours weren’t long. C. He found it very stressful. D. He had little free time at weekends. 14. After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him . A. not to work any longer B. to take a long vacation abroad C. to stop smoking and take exercise D. not to eat out any more 15. What can we learn about the author? A. The author is not sure what he should do now. B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice. C. The author has got another new job. D. The author feels much better now. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章通过讲述作者前后不同的工作给作者的健康带来了不同的影响的情况，告诉我们要更多注意自己的健康状态，保持健康的身体。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的).可知，10年前作者很健康；根据倒数第二段中的Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious.可知，两个月前作者得了心脏病，一开始他简直不敢相信，幸好不是很严重。由此可知，和10年相比，作者现在的健康出了很大的问题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer.可知，然后，大约八年前，作者找到了一份更好的工作，工资更高了，但工作时间更长了。由此可知，“作者的工作时间不长”与原文不符。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.可知，医生建议作者戒烟、少吃、少工作和多锻炼。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?(我也得想想他们。我就是不知道该怎么做。你觉得怎么样?)可知，作者很迷茫，不知道该怎么办。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is an English saying: “____16____“ Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.

A. Laughter can prolong one’s life. B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. C.

So do find a chance _____45_____ (visit) it some day! 【答案】36. a 37. was built 38. who 39. workers 40. upsetting 41. mostly 42. happiness 43. why 44. national 45. to visit 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了紫禁城的相关情况，比如由谁建立、怎么得到这个英文名称等。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在1420至1912年间，它都是古代中国的政治中心，现在它是一个全世界闻名的博物馆。分析句意可知，空格处填写冠词a，表示数量“一个”著名博物馆。故填a。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建，他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知，此处谓语动词build“建立”与主语The Forbidden City “紫禁城”构成被动关系，且为过去发生的事，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建，他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知，此处需填写连词连接非限定性定语从句，因为先行词为人Emperor Yongle “永乐大帝”，且在从句中作主语，故使用关系代词who。故填who。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：资料称1406至1420年间，上百万工人被用来修筑紫禁城。分析句意可知，此处worker“工人”前有量词a million“一百万”修饰，故应该使用复数形式。故填workers。 【40题详解】 考查动名词。句意：为了避免上天生气，一半的房子消失了。分析句意可知，avoid“避免”后常接动名词作宾语，故此处需要使用upset“使生气”的动名词形式。故填upsetting。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色，是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知，此处most“大多数的”需改为副词形式mostly，修饰动词painted“涂”。故填mostly。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色，是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知，此处形容词happy“开心的”需要改为名词happiness“幸福”在句中作介词of的宾语。故填happiness。 【43题详解】 考查连词。过去，紫禁城不对普通大众开放，这就是为什么它被命名为“the forbidden city（被禁止的城市）”。分析句意可知，空格处填写连词连接表语从句，且连词在表语从句中作原因状语，使用why符合语境。故填why。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：清朝之后，它被作为一个国家博物馆-故宫博物馆，对公众开放。分析句意可知，此处名词nation“国家”需要改为形容词national，作定语修饰museum“博物馆”。故填national。 【45题详解】 考查不定式。句意：所以哪天一定要找一个机会来参观一下！分析句意可知，此处a chance为抽象名词，后常接不定式作后置定语，故visit“参观”应该使用不定式。故填to visit。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 近期来自加拿大某高中的交换生正在你校学习，为传播中国优秀文化，你校将举办介绍中国传统节日的主题班会。请你用英语写一篇演讲稿在班会上介绍你最喜爱的中国传统节日，内容包括： 1.节日介绍； 2.喜欢该节日的理由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为 80 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置做答。 My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival I feel it a privilege to talk about the Spring Festival, the most important festival for Chinese people. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts from the early days of the 12th lunar month and lasts till the mid-1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve, when all family members eat dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. As for me, I love the Spring Festival most because it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. Plus, not only can I set off fireworks during the festival, but I can also get lucky money as a New Year’s gift! To conclude, the Spring Festival bears unique significance for every Chinese. Hope the excitement of the celebration will reach more people across the world. My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival It is a great honor for me to give a speech on my favorite traditional Chinese Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of ancient China. As a memorial, people usually eat zongzi, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed leaves. There is also a nationwide practice of having or watching dragon boat racing, where competing teams drive their dragon boats forward to the drum beats. Actually it is the sporting spirit and the atmosphere of excitement displayed in dragon boat racing that makes this festival stand out as my favorite. As a traditional celebration in China, the festival is in the UNESCO ICH list now. I believe more people will explore the legends and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于说明文，要求考生写一篇英文演讲稿介绍自己最喜爱的中国传统节日。 【详解】以第一篇范文例： 词汇积累 重要：important→crucial 象征：symbolize→stand for 礼物：gift→present 燃放：set off = let off 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：As for me, I love the Spring Festival most because it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. 拓展句：As for me, the reason why I love the Spring Festival most is that it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Of them, Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve, when all family members eat dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala.

(运用了部分倒装) 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文. Marmi, my big sister, was eagerly looking for a pup (小狗) to look after and love all her life, so she would ask Mummy many times for a pup of her own, but the answer was always no. You see, my mum is not very fond of dogs, never has been, and always says they're too big a responsibility. She's just not a dog person. Well, that didn't stop my sister from looking or hoping for a dog. She used to search online for her favourite breed (品种). Until one day Marni found some Cavapoo pups advertised for sale. She immediately showed Mummy and begged to go and see them. Not sure how my sister persuaded her, but to our surprise, Mummy said we could go and have a look at them but not to get high hopes. Marni rushed everyone in the car before Mummy changed her mind. Off we sped to the advertised breeder's house which luckily wasn't too far. We got to the house and I bet I could hear my sister's heart dancing with excitement. As we rang the doorbell, we could hear cute little barks coming from inside. We went in and saw lots of little black pups excitedly jumping around. There were other people there too, so we needed to choose one fast if you know what I mean. It was rather crowded but the breeder let us hold and cuddle (搂抱) the pups. The breeder handed a little confident pup to Marni. The little pup seemed an old friend with my sister. But after a lot of cuddles, Mummy said we had to go and would have to think about it. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 As we were walking towards the door, the little pup followed my sister. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little pup made a mess (杂乱) of our home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As we were walking towards the door, the little pup followed my sister out. The moment when she just wanted to get on the car, the pup ran to her and swayed her tail. She kept licking Marmi as if to beg her to take her home. After Marmi persuaded Mummy again and again, Mummy obliged to raise her.  She immediately curled at my sister’s feet, gazing at everyone. Mummy told Marmi care and love are responsibilities. The little pup made a mess (杂乱) of our home. Each blanket had been damaged and the corner of our pillows had a jagged hole. Things became complicated. Mummy called the breeder and told him she had changed her mind. On hearing that, Marmi was sad and she promised Mummy she would train her. As Marmi followed the instructions the breeder gave, the pup made strides in the months. She no longer tried to get on the bed, but she did like sitting in the folding chairs. Since then, she had become a friend of our family. We were animal lovers. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。Marmi很想要一只小狗，但妈妈不太喜欢狗。终于妈妈同意和姐姐一起去看看，是否买条小狗。但是在拥抱了很多次之后，妈妈说我们得走了，我们得考虑一下。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当我们走向门口时，小狗跟在我姐姐后面。”可知，第一段可以描写可以写他们要离开时，小狗的反应，小狗对姐姐的依恋，祈求姐姐收养它，在姐姐的再三请求下，妈妈终于答应带狗狗回家。 ②由第二段句首内容“那只小狗把我们家弄得一团糟。”可知，第二段可以写狗狗回家后，开始时由于没有受过训练，给家庭带来了一系列麻烦，情况变得复杂了，妈妈想改变主意送回小狗，姐姐决心训练小狗，让它适应家庭生活。在姐姐的训练下，小狗成为了家庭的一员。 2.续写线索：想走—被狗跟着—说服妈妈—带回家—家被弄乱—训练狗—成为一家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①摇摆：sway/ wag ②饲养： raise/ rear ③损坏：damage/ spoil 情绪类 ①伤心的：sad/ unhappy ②喜欢：like/ enjoy 【点睛】【高分句型1】After Marmi persuaded Mummy again and again Mummy obliged to raise her.( 运用了After引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】She immediately curled at my sister’s feet, gazing at everyone. ( 运用了现在分词gazing作状语) 【高分句型3】Each blanket had been damaged and the corner of our pillows had a jagged hole.(运用了过去完成时的被动语态) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 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和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。 A Istanbul & Faces Titled “Timeless City: Istanbul & Faces”, the Turkey photography exhibition celebrates the 30th anniversary of Istanbul and Shanghai’s sistership.

It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just 70 days to row across the Atlantic Ocean. Ms Harrison, who’s from North Yorkshire, England, didn’t have loads of experience in rowing long distances. She’d only gotten the idea three years earlier when she happened to be in Antigua and saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I just thought, I want to do this, so I’m going to do it,” she said. Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands in December and row roughly 3,000 miles (4, 828 kilometers) across the Atlantic. Some handle the rowing in teams of two, three, or four. Others, like Ms Harrison, row by themselves. It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound (250-kilogram) boat across the ocean. On average, she rowed about 20, 000 strokes a day, covering roughly 60 miles (97 kilometers). Ms Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself, which she says she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music. She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins. “I’m in their environment,” she said. “It’s just amazing.” But there was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. “Everything happened when I was asleep,” she said. Somehow she kept going. On 20 February, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached the island of Antigua — the end of the journey. 8. What led to Jasmine Harrison’s brave move? A. Her friends’ encouragement. B. Her family members’ support. C. Seeing other successful rowers. D. Rowing long distances for ages. 9. How long did Jasmine Harrison row? A. About 3, 000 miles. B. About 3, 200 miles. C. About 4, 000 miles. D. About 4, 200 miles. 10. What does the author try to show by mentioning whales and dolphins? A. Ocean animals were friendly. B. Rowing alone was dangerous. C. Jasmine Harrison wasn’t alone. D. Jasmine Harrison loved animals. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. An Impossible Dream Comes True. B. 21-Year-Old Rows Across Atlantic. C. Young Woman Breaks World Record. D. She Spends 70 Days Alone on the Sea. D Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all. Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think? 12. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now? A. His job. B. His pay. C. His means of transport. D. His health. 13. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true? A. He got higher pay. B. His working hours weren’t long. C. He found it very stressful. D. He had little free time at weekends. 14. After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him . A. not to work any longer B. to take a long vacation abroad C. to stop smoking and take exercise D. not to eat out any more 15. What can we learn about the author? A. The author is not sure what he should do now. B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice. C. The author has got another new job. D. The author feels much better now. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is an English saying: “____16____“ Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
