When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning. Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives. There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages. There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between. It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection. 24. What happened during her best friend’s visit? A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend. B. They bonded by having long conversations. C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee. D. They talked about recent news events. 25. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______. A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away C. they try to show each other their best selves D. they are comfortable being themselves when together 26. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. Charm comes from differences. B. Politeness brings best friends closer. C. Good friendships last naturally. D. Good friendships need devotion. 27. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ______. A. describe what her best friend is like B. tell about the friendship she treasures C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend C Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited. It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear? But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising. In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree. One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear. A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history. So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable! 28. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2? A. It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear. B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics. C. It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with. D. It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark. 29. Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects? A. They look very much alike. B. They have shared experiences. C. They have similar personalities. D. They share basically the same DNA. 30. What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5? A. Dentists are scary to many kids. B. Most people have some kind of fear. C. Fear of blood is the most common phobia. D. Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance. 31. Where does the text probably come from? A. A travel brochure. B. A science talk show. C. A commercial advertisement. D. A history book. D In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet. A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted. Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet. But the quality of carbs matters. In fact they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep. 32. In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”? A. Carbs are essential to better sleep. B. Carbs’ influence depends on its quality. C. Carbs can be consumed as many as possible. D. Carbs should be taken in frequently. 33. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B. A Method of Having a Good Sleep C. The Relation between Sleep and Diet D. The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices 34. Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep? A. Regular exercise. B. Bedtime schedule. C. Screen time. D. Proper diet. 35. What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest? A. We can have a better sleep with all carbs. B. Sleep and diet can influence each other. C. Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets. D. We’d better focus on one or two specific food. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Create Great Readers Are great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.____36____Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. ____37____The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.____38____For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?”____39____By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion. Build habits at the moment of reading Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.____40____So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers. A. Build habits at the moment of error. B. Make sure children fall in love with reading. C. Then, you can review their written responses. D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits. E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information. G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. 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。 In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, had just moved to California.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 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 Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 镇江市实验高中2024-2025学年第一学期10月考试 高二英语试卷 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，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the man probably drink?

From his father. 19. What did Whittle do after having his idea for an engine? A. He joined the Air Force. B. He gained the legal right of ownership. C. He decided to study further in college. 20. Where was Whittle’s last home? A. Maryland. B. Coventry. C. Cambridge. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: Frank Whittle was a British Royal Air Force air officer who invented the jet engine. He was born in a humble house in Coventry, England, on June 1st, 1907. His father was a clever engineer who passed on his skills to his son. Whittle became adventurous, developing an early interest in planes. He joined the Air Force and was taught about aircraft engines, gaining experience in the engineering workshops. He was excellent in his studies and became a pilot. During study time, he had the ideas that led to the creation of the jet engine, and he was given the legal right of ownership of his design in 1930. His studies earned him a place on a further course at Cambridge University, where he graduated with a first-class degree. His first engine was tested in 1937. Official interest grew but it was many years before it came into use. Whittle’s invention was of great importance. It increased the speed of planes dramatically and jet engines are now used by nearly every airline in the world. Whittle held many important jobs and became a hero in his country. He later married an American woman and moved to the United States, where he became a professor. He died at his home in Maryland on August 9th, 1996. 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。 A Warm Mineral Springs Park Step into the past at the only natural warm spring in Florida!

When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning. Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives. There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages. There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between. It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection. 24. What happened during her best friend’s visit? A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend. B. They bonded by having long conversations. C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee. D. They talked about recent news events. 25. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______. A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away C. they try to show each other their best selves D. they are comfortable being themselves when together 26. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. Charm comes from differences. B. Politeness brings best friends closer. C. Good friendships last naturally. D. Good friendships need devotion. 27. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ______. A. describe what her best friend is like B. tell about the friendship she treasures C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过介绍自己和朋友相处的点点滴滴的故事，表示自己十分珍惜与朋友间的这段友谊，同时告诉读者，维系良好的友谊需要奉献。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第二段“Our long weekend together was luxuriously simple. (我们在一起的长周末过得很惬意，很简单)”以及“But we talked. About every little detail of our lives. (但是我们进行了交谈。有关生活中的每一个细节)”可推知，作者最好的朋友来访期间，她们通过长谈而变得更亲密。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章倒数第二段“As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves. (正如我的周末所表明的那样，有这样的朋友，我们不需要“做些什么”，我们只需要做我们自己。我们放弃装模作样，放弃表演，以及公众场合的面具)”可推知，作者欣赏他们友谊的原因之一是她们在一起时很自在，不必虚情假意。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking into your separate lives. (特殊的友谊是那些永远不会忘记快乐的友谊，尽管距离和差异会默默影响你们各自的生活，但这种友谊的延续值得付出额外的努力)”可推知，作者认为良好的友谊需要奉献。故选D项 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章第三段“Reunions demand constant conversation. (团聚需要不断的交谈)”以及文章最后一段“the continuation of which is worth the extra effort (这种友谊的延续值得付出额外的努力)”可推知，作者在讲述自己和朋友之间的友谊的同时点明了建立、发展和保持友谊的重要因素，所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是探索维系友谊的重要因素。故选C项。 C Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited. It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear? But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising. In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree. One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear. A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history. So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable! 28. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2? A. It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear. B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics. C. It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with. D. It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark. 29. Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects? A. They look very much alike. B. They have shared experiences. C. They have similar personalities. D. They share basically the same DNA. 30. What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5? A. Dentists are scary to many kids. B. Most people have some kind of fear. C. Fear of blood is the most common phobia. D. Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance. 31. Where does the text probably come from? A. A travel brochure. B. A science talk show. C. A commercial advertisement. D. A history book. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现人们能遗传像恐惧这样抽象的东西，介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。 【28题详解】 句意猜测题。根据画线词后文“How do you inherit something as abstract as fear? But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.”可知，但在过去的50年里，研究人员一直在研究恐惧与遗传和基因有多大关系。他们的结果证明了人们能遗传像恐惧这样抽象的东西，这令人惊讶，故画线句意思是“令人难以置信的是，人们能遗传像恐惧这样抽象的东西”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters.(由于同卵双胞胎拥有几乎相同的DNA，研究人员可以通过比较特定恐惧症在同卵双胞胎和其他兄弟姐妹中出现的频率来了解恐惧的遗传程度)”可知，科学家选择同卵双胞胎作为他们的测试对象因为他们基本上拥有相同的DNA。 故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.(1998年的一项研究对澳大利亚659对同卵双胞胎和异卵双胞胎进行了研究，看有多少人害怕血。研究发现，基因在这些人的变异中占71%，这意味着基因因素在决定一个人是否有某种特定的恐惧方面发挥了相当大的作用)”以及第五段“A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history. (2016年的一项研究还发现，对牙医的恐惧超过30%是遗传的。所以，如果你害怕去看牙医，这可能不是你牙医的错。总的来说，有恐惧症的人的一级亲属比没有家族史的人更有可能有类似的恐惧症)”可推知，作者通过提到第4和第5段的研究试图证明恐惧可能是遗传的结果。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited.(但最近有一种不同的观点得到了更多的关注：恐惧不仅仅是后天习得的……它们也可以遗传)”结合文章主要说明了研究人员发现人们能遗传像恐惧这样抽象的东西，介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。可推知，文章可能来自科学谈话节目。故选B。 D In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet. A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted. Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet. But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep. 32. In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”? A. Carbs are essential to better sleep. B. Carbs’ influence depends on its quality. C. Carbs can be consumed as many as possible. D. Carbs should be taken in frequently. 33. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B. A Method of Having a Good Sleep C. The Relation between Sleep and Diet D. The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices 34. Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep? A. Regular exercise. B. Bedtime schedule. C. Screen time. D. Proper diet. 35. What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest? A. We can have a better sleep with all carbs. B. Sleep and diet can influence each other. C. Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets. D. We’d better focus on one or two specific food. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现碳水化合物对改善睡眠至关重要，并阐述了相关研究开展的过程以及指出吃碳水化合物可以帮助你更快入睡，但最好是吃含有纤维的“复合”碳水化合物，这可能会帮助你获得更深入、更健康的睡眠。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep.(但碳水化合物的质量很重要。事实上，在睡眠方面，它们可能是一把双刃剑。St-Onge博士发现，当人们吃了更多的糖和简单的碳水化合物---如白面包和意大利面---他们会在夜间更频繁地醍来。换句话说，吃碳水化合物可以帮助你更快入睡，但最好是吃含有纤维的“复杂的”碳水化合物，这可以帮助你获得更深、更健康的睡眠。)”可知，在碳水化合物的影响取决于它的质量的情况下，我们才能说碳水化合物的质量很重要。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices.(越来越多的研究表明，你吃的食物会影响你的睡眠质量，而你的睡眠模式会影响你的饮食选择)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现碳水化合物对改善睡眠至关重要，并阐述了相关研究开展的过程以及指出吃碳水化合物可以帮助你更快入睡，但最好是吃含有纤维的“复合”碳水化合物，这可能会帮助你获得更深入、更健康的睡眠。由此可知，A选项“最近关于睡眠和饮食的研究”最符合文章标题。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet.(但很多人可能忽略了导致睡眠不佳的另一个重要因素：饮食)”可知，在睡眠不佳的情况下，合理饮食可能会被忽略。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.(总的来说，实验还发现碳水化合物对睡眠有重大影响：与摄入高脂肪或高蛋白饮食的人相比，摄入高碳水化合物饮食的人往往在晚上更快入睡)”可知，Dr St-Onge的研究表明了碳水化合物比高脂肪饮食更有助于睡眠。故选C。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Create Great Readers Are great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.____36____Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. ____37____The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.____38____For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?”____39____By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion. Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.____40____So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers. A. Build habits at the moment of error. B. Make sure children fall in love with reading. C. Then, you can review their written responses. D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits. E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information. G. Therefore you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. G 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些让孩子们养成良好阅读习惯的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Are great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. (伟大的阅读者是天生的还是培养出来的？显然，孩子们进入这个世界时并不知道如何理解文本或做出推断)”和下文“Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. (这里有一些建议，可以让孩子们养成良好的习惯)”可知，伟大的阅读者不是天生的，而是通过习惯培养而成的。D项“They grow into great readers by learning great habits.(他们通过学习伟大的习惯而成长为伟大的读者)”切题，they指代上文提到的children。故选D。 【37题详解】 此空位于段落开头，应是主旨句。根据上下段中的首句，可知此处应该是一个短小精悍的祈使句。再根据下文“The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. (阅读教学中最关键的时刻是孩子们做错了什么。如果孩子继续错误地练习技能，他或她会养成更弱的习惯。用一个有针对性的问题进行干预，比如“文本的这一部分如何帮助你理解这个角色？”这样做可以防止不良习惯扎根，并在它们的位置上建立良好的习惯)可知，要在孩子出错时引导他/她养成正确的习惯。A项“Build habits at the moment of error. (在出差错的时候养成习惯)”切题，该项中的the moment of error与下文中的something wrong相吻合，故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others (就像成年人一样，学生们用写作来收集他们对文本的想法，并将他们的想法传达给其他人)”可知，学生用写作表达自己对文本的理解，并将想法传达给别人。由此可知，在培养阅读的同时还可以培养写作技能。G项“Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. (因此，你可以同时发展他们的写作和阅读技巧)”切题，由Therefore可知前后是一种因果关系，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing:“What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” (例如，孩子们可以首先通过书面回答一个焦点问题来讨论他们正在阅读的内容：“作者在这个故事中试图教我们什么？”)”中的first推知，空处应陈述接下来该怎么做。C项“Then, you can review their written responses. (然后，你可以回顾他们的书面回复)”切题，then呼应上文的first。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. (独立阅读时间对任何阅读计划都很重要。这是一个机会，让孩子们把他们在阅读课上学到的一切汇集在一起，用自己的翅膀飞翔)”可知，只有当孩子花时间独立阅读时，才会真正地形成阅读习惯。E项“But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. (但只有当他们真的花时间阅读时才会起作用)”切题。故选E。 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。 In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, had just moved to California.

Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day?” I asked Mama. She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed. “I’m going down to talk to him,” I said. I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?” I asked, “We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what?” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him. He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?” I asked. Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said. Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her. 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 Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday. Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了让父亲开心，于是和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好，让父亲可以和朋友出海，父亲也非常感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后，我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了那天，我们都迫不及待地想给他一个惊喜”可知，第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。 2.续写线索：开始修理船——完成修复工作——给父亲惊喜——父亲感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②修理：repair/fix up ③完成：complete/finish 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/glad ②值得的：rewarding/worthy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration.
