Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 4. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus? A. They missed the classroom. B. Most of them lived downtown. C. They were dreaming of travelling. D. They were lacking in regular schooling. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air. B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule. C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus. D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring. 6. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候的跑马戏团的梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools.(然后，他听说了一个名为“孤立学生教育志愿者”（VISE）的项目，该项目将有教育经验的精力充沛的人（通常是退休教师）与孩子们配对，因为孩子们住在离城镇太远的地方，无法上正规学校，所以他们的学业基本上是远程完成的。)”可知，孩子们无法上正规学校，他们的学业基本上是远程完成的，因此他们缺乏正规学校教育，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. (约翰在乡下长大，小时候在灌木丛中，他一直梦想着和马戏团一起巡演，但他甚至没有太多机会亲自去看马戏团。)”和最后一段“While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可知，在马戏团里，John作为一名志愿者教师，他实现了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(但是有一天，训狮员给了他一个特权，邀请他亲自去看4个13个月大狮子。尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可推知，John亲自看到了狮子，这便让他实现了自己小时候的梦想，因此在看完狮子后，他应该是很激动的，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.(因此，他立刻对这个项目产生了兴趣，并在星空马戏团获得了一个教师的职位。)”以及后文对他跟着马戏团的经历的描写可知，本文主要讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故A项“与马戏团一起奔跑”符合文章标题，故选A。 C A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure (安全的). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence. Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom. Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends. Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door. 8. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. It benefits teenagers to have freedom. B. Some parents allow their kids no freedom. C. Kids know how to live independently. D. Kids have a dull routine every day 9. In the opinion of the author, ________ . A. it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone B. kids should focus on the school work C. parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends D. good friendships between kids harm their school work 10. How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A. Angry B. Lucky C. Disappointed D. Calm 11. The author hopes to have her door locked in order to________. A. keep her father from reading her dairy B. stop thieves from going in C. protect herself from any harm D. prevent her mother entering her room 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是独立对青少年很重要，然而许多父母没有让孩子有足够的独立，独立与自主有关，青少年有自由是有益的，青少年缺乏自由会影响孩子在学校建立良好的友谊，此外，有自己的隐私空间会给青少年一种独立感。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段“Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world.(独立与自由有关。有些孩子不被允许单独去任何地方，他们唯一的日程安排就是上学、回家、睡觉，然后第二天重复这个过程。父母往往害怕他们的孩子如果走到外面的世界会受伤。)”以及本段后面内容可知，作者提出独立与自由有关，他指出很多父母过分控制自己的孩子，这样孩子永远不可能学会独立，因此第二段主要讲的是拥有自由对青少年有好处。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.(相反，这难道不是父母给孩子买手机的一个好理由吗？手机让青少年与父母保持联系，并与朋友交流。)”可知，作者认为父母应该让孩子和他们的朋友交流变得容易。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home.(当青少年不在家的时候，父母进入他们的房间，这常常会惹恼他们。)”可知，当父母在他们不在的时候进入他们的房间时，青少年通常会觉得生气，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.(我知道我妈妈总是在我不在家的时候进入我的房间，这让我不得不多次要求给我的门上一把锁。)”可知，作者希望锁门是为了不让自己的妈妈进入自己的房间。故选D。 D British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design. As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.” Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden inflow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment. Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.” 12. Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers? A. To make Walkers use them once more. B. To exchange them for some new chips. C. To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging. D. To appeal to people not to use the bags. 13. What does the second paragraph mainly show? A. The potential harm of chip bags. B. The cause of animals’ death. C. The production of plastic bags. D. The opinion of Geraint Ashcroft. 14. What is the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Understandable. B. Anxious. C. Significant. D. Responsible. 15. How does Walkers react to the campaign? A. Doubtfully. B. Positively. C. Cautiously. D. Negatively. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在英国人们把薯片包装盒寄回给薯片公司Walkers作为对塑料袋不可回收设计的抗议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design.(到目前为止，已有超过312,000个签名的在线请愿书鼓励那些签名的人将他们的空芯片塑料袋邮寄给沃克斯，作为对塑料袋不可回收设计的抗议)”可知，人们把薯片塑料包装盒寄回Walkers是为了抗议该公司使用不可回收的塑料作为包装袋。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained, the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption.(请愿活动组织者杰兰特·阿什克罗夫特解释说，大多数薯条包装都是由涂有金属的塑料制成的，是不可回收的，而且在食用33年后仍完好无损)”和“Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.”(阿什克罗夫特写道：“按照现在的消费速度，33年后，将有2000亿个包裹被送到垃圾填埋场或污染我们的海洋。许多会被鱼或鸟吃掉，导致缓慢死亡。”)”可知本段主要介绍了薯片的包装给环境及动物带来的危害。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“pressure it to come up with a better design(迫使它想出一个更好的设计)”推知，人们认为寄回薯片的包装袋是让该公司对自己的包装负责的方法。由此猜测划线词意为“负责的”，与responsible同义。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025.(沃克尔斯公司周三发表声明称，到2025年，公司将不再使用塑料包装)”可知，Walkers对待这次运动的态度是积极的。故选B。 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。 The Rise of “China-chic” Over past years, guochao, or “China-chic" has been gaining popularity among Chinese consumers.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。千百年前，科学家们只能通过感官观察世界，他们往往因为过分注意细节而忽略了事物的整体，造成了“只见树木不见森林”的结果。如今，科学家们通过卫星望远镜、原子显微镜等现代工具观察世界，能更客观地了解世界。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果是这样，你可能想知道这个奇怪的短语是什么意思。A. wondered想知道；B. believed认为；C. explained解释；D. described描述。根据“what this curious phrase means.”可知，对这一奇怪的短语，人们或许会想知道其表达的意思。故选A。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：如果你能看到树，为什么森林看不见？A. visible可见的；B. acceptable可接受的；C. accessible可接近的；D. possible可能的。根据“If you can see the trees,”可知，作者意在表明看见和看不见之间的逻辑关系。故选A。 【23题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这个表述准确地描述了一种情景，人们有时会很在意细节以至于会看不见整体大局。A. reasons原因；B. problems问题；C. effects影响；D. details细节。根据“If you can see the trees, how is the forest not ___2___, too?”可知，人们会只注意细节而忽略整体大局。故选D。 【24题详解】 考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：换句话说，你太关注这些树了，以至于你忘记了这些树只是更大森林的一部分。A. In contrast比较起来；B. In return作为回报；C. In other words换句话说；D. In a row连续。根据前文“This popular phrase accurately describes situations in which people sometimes get so caught up with the ___3___ that they lose sight of the big picture.(这个表述准确地描述了一种情景，人们有时会很在意细节以至于会看不见整体大局)”可知，空后与上句的意思一致，所以作者是换句话表达。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：换句话说，你太关注这些树了，以至于你忘记了这些树只是更大森林的一部分。A. better更好的；B. larger更大的；C. clearer更清楚的；D. greener更绿色的。根据下文“forest”可知，指忘记了这些树只是更大森林的一部分。故选B。 【26题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这是我们经常遇到的问题。A. carry on继续；B. pass down传递；C. agree on就……达成一致；D. meet with遇到。根据“from time to time.”和常识可知，“只见树木不见森林”这一问题我们经常遇到。故选D。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们关注自己的世界时，很容易就关注到有趣的细节而忽视了更大的概念。A. ignore忽视；B. expect期待；C. seize抓住；D. blame责备。根据后文“it’s important to be able to focus on both the forest and the trees.”可知，此处表明我们应该细节与大局兼顾，然而我们很容易注重小细节而忽视整体大局。故选A。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，对于科学家来说，能够同时关注森林和树木是很重要的。A. farmers农夫；B. teachers老师；C. scientists科学家；D. leaders领导。根据下文“Since the beginning of scientific inquiry thousands of years ago, observations have been”可知，对于科学家来说，既关注森林又关注树木是很重要的。故选C。 【29题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：自从几千年前科学探索开始以来，观察一直很重要。A. forgotten被遗忘的；B. welcomed受欢迎的；C. impossible不可能的；D. significant重要的。根据下文“The first scientists used their ___10___ to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste the world around them.”可知，几千年前科学家们通过感官去观察世界，说明观察一直很重要。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：第一批科学家用他们的感官去看、听、闻、摸和感受周围的世界。A. feelings感觉；B. senses感官；C. environments环境；D. experiences经历。根据后文“see, hear, smell, feel, and taste the world around them”可知，指运用感官来感受世界。故选B。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：通过这些观察，他们了解了自己的世界，并开始寻找自然产生的问题的答案。A. errors错误；B. gifts礼物；C. observations观察；D. inventions发明。根据上文“Since the beginning of scientific inquiry thousands of years ago, observations have been”可知，通过观察来了解世界。这里为原词复现。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：通过这些观察，他们了解了自己的世界，并开始寻找自然产生的问题的答案。A. occasionally偶尔；B. naturally自然地；C. exactly确切地；D. luckily幸运地。根据“they learned about their world and began to search for answers to the questions”可知，科学家们通过这些观察开始了解世界，并探索在这个过程中自然产生的问题的答案。故选B。 【33题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：当今科学家们依然依赖于他们的五官做观察。A. even甚至；B. yet至今；C. still仍然；D. never从不。根据后文“rely upon their five senses to make observations”以及前段可知，现在的科学家依然还依赖五官进行观察。故选C。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这使他们能够以超出五感所允许的方式“看”世界。A. consider考虑；B. allow允许，让；C. prefer宁可；D. enjoy喜欢。根据“However, they also take advantages of modern technologies to make observations with a wide variety of tools.(然而，他们也利用现代技术，用各种各样的工具进行观察)”可知，现代技术和工具的示用让科学家们能够以超出五感所允许的方式“看”世界。故选B。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：其中一些工具让他们研究小细节，而另一些工具则帮助他们看到大局。A. cause原因；B. guideline指导方针；C. achievement成就；D. picture局面。根据前文“This popular phrase accurately describes situations in which people sometimes get so caught up with the details that they lose sight of the big picture.(这个流行短语准确地描述了人们有时过于关注细节而忽略大局的情况)”可知，有些工具则能帮助科学家们看到整体。此处the big picture指“整体”，不仅见树木，还能见森林。故选D。 第二节：（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Stanford University researchers have developed a device called a nature-inspired aerial grasper, or SNAG, which can be attached ___36___ a quadcopter drone (四轴无人机) to give it feet and legs like those of ___37___ eagle. The drone, when ___38___ (equip) with the device, is able to fly around catching and carrying objects and perching (栖息) on various surfaces, according to a Stanford news release dated Sep.1, 2023. But ___39___ (copy) the flexibility of birds wasn’t easy to do. The researchers ___40___ (shoot) videos of small parrots flying back and forth between special perches that contained sensors to measure the physical forces of landing, perching and takeoff. “___41___ surprised us was that they did the same aerial military exercise, no matter what surfaces they were landing on,” one of the ___42___ (researcher), William Roderick, explained in the news release. “They let the feet handle the complexity of the surface texture itself,” he said. Giving a drone similar abilities required technological ___43___ (assist). SNAG has a 3D-printed structure that imitates (模仿) eagle’s lightweight bones, and each of ___44___ (it) legs has got a motor for moving back and forth and a second one for grasping, _____45_____ helps detect the landing and stabilize (稳定) it. 【答案】36. to 37. an 38. equipped 39. copying 40. shot 41. What 42. researchers 43. assistance 44. its 45. which 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了斯坦福大学研究人员开发的一种名为SNAG的设备，该设备可以安装在四轴无人机上，使其具有类似老鹰的脚和腿的功能。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：斯坦福大学的研究人员开发了一种名为自然启发式空中抓取器的设备，可以安装到四轴无人机上，使其拥有像老鹰一样的脚和腿。be attached to为固定短语，含义为“附在……之上”，符合句意。故填to。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。这里指的是任意一只鹰，而非特定的某只鹰，所以用不定冠词来修饰eagle，eagle发音以元音音素开头，使用不定冠词an，故填an。 【38题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：当无人机配备此设备时，它能够飞行并抓住物体、携带物品并栖息在各种表面上。此处为省略主语以及助动词be的结构，从句的主语与谓语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，完整的句子结构为when the drone is equipped with the device，因从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句中含有助动词be，根据省略的规则，将从句的主语与助动词be省略，留下了过去分词作状语。故填equipped。 【39题详解】 考查动名词。句意：但是，复制鸟类的灵活性并不容易。空白处在句子中作主语，因此使用copy的动名词形式copying。故填copying。 【40题详解】 考查一般过去时。句意：研究人员拍摄了小型鹦鹉在特殊栖木之间飞来飞去的视频，这些栖木含有传感器，可以测量降落、栖息和起飞的物理力量。空白处在句子中作谓语，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，因此使用一般过去时。故填shot。 【41题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：“让我们感到惊讶的是，无论它们降落在什么表面上，它们都执行相同的空中军事演习，”研究人员之一威廉·罗德里克在新闻稿中解释道。空处引导主语从句，空白处在从句中作主语，指物，因此使用连接代词what连接，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：同上。“one of +复数名词”为固定短语，含义为“……其中之一”，这里指的是多个研究人员，因此使用researcher的复数形式researchers。故填researchers。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：给无人机提供类似的能力需要技术援助。这里需要一个名词来作为宾语，因此使用assist的名词形式assistance。故填assistance。 【44题详解】 考查代词。句意：SNAG有一个模仿老鹰轻质骨骼的3D打印结构，它的每条腿都有一个用于前后移动的电机和另一个用于抓取的电机，这有助于检测着陆并稳定它。空白处在句子中作定语，这里需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰legs，因此使用it的形容词性物主代词形式its。故填its。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。这里需要一个关系代词来引导定语从句，先行词为前面一整句话表示的内容，在定语从句中作主语，因此使用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是李华，假期去留学生Judy的家乡游玩时受到了她的热情款待。请你给她写一封邮件表达谢意。 内容包括：1．写邮件目的；2．得到好友的哪些款待；3．表达谢意 。 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Judy, I’m writing to express my gratitude for your warm hospitality.

Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year. The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures. Last summer, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa. They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa. One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain, which isn’t very high. And fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task. Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony. He decided to walk slowly up to the mountain. Considering his personal safety, Tony had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons’ one step. He often had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them. Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons were not focused on him at all. Instead, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk and all that they had seen and heard along the way up. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, “Grandpa, here is a special plant. Come and have a look.” 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。 Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】续写范文 Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down. He looked down and saw his foot caught on a tree root. He tried to stand up but failed. Daniel and Lucas waited for some time and then looked back, only to find their grandpa struggling to stand on his feet. They put aside their curiosity, running quickly towards their grandpa. Daniel kept comforting him nervously. Meanwhile, Lucas tore off the root and examined Tony’s feet. There were no wounds but Tony was unable to walk. Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain. Facing the sudden problem, they responded positively. Lucas, who knew the first-aid knowledge, treated Tony’s feet. Then, seeing their Grandpa really wanted to reach the top, he said happily, “Why don’t we take turns carrying our grandpa to the top of the mountain?” Daniel said OK immediately. In this way, they finally enjoyed the great scenery on the mountaintop. 【解析】 【导语】这篇读后续写以情节发展为线索。讲述了丹尼尔和卢卡斯两兄弟一起和爷爷去爬山，一路上两个青少年行动迅速，充满好奇，沿路走走停停看新奇的事物；但是爷爷托尼年事已高，行动不是很敏捷，一直在追赶孙子，他只想早点爬到山顶，欣赏美景。突然孙子呼喊爷爷快去看他们发现的新奇植物，爷爷一不小心摔倒在地。孙子们发现爷爷一直未到，去寻他。发现他在地上起不了身，急忙帮爷爷缓解疼痛，检查身体。没有发现受伤，但走不了路。爷爷很想到山顶欣赏风景，因此两兄弟轮着背爷爷，最终成功登顶，享受了美妙的家庭时刻。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“托尼正朝孙子们赶去，突然他摔倒了。”可知，第一段可描写爷爷摔倒后的场景，以及孙子们急忙赶到，如何帮助爷爷，检查他的身体。 ②由第二段首句内容“丹尼尔和卢卡斯想知道如何让他们的爷爷登上山顶。”可知，第二段可描写两兄弟如何想办法把爷爷送到山顶欣赏风景。 2.续写线索：一起去爬山——爷爷奋力追赶孙子——爷爷摔倒——兄弟轮流背爷爷——成功登顶——享受山顶美景 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收起：put aside/put away ②登顶：get to the top/reach the top ③欣赏：enjoy/admire 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously ②开心地：happily/merrily 【点睛】【高分句型1】Daniel and Lucas waited for some time and then looked back, only to find their grandpa struggling to stand on his feet.（运用不定式作结果状语） 高分句型2】Lucas who knew the first-aid knowledge treated Tony’s feet.（运用了who引导限制性定语从句） 听力 1-5 ABCCB 6-10 BAACA 11-15 BACAC 16-20 BBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 三台中学2023级高二上期第一次学月考试 英语 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，其中试题卷共12页；答题卡共3页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，同时用2B铅笔将考号准确填涂在“考号”栏目内。 2. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后再选涂其它答案；非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写在答题卡的对应框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 3. 考试结束后将答题卡收回。 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，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.

B In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 4. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus? A. They missed the classroom. B. Most of them lived downtown. C. They were dreaming of travelling. D. They were lacking in regular schooling. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air. B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule. C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus. D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring. 6. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals C A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure (安全). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence. Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom. Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends. Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door. 8. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. It benefits teenagers to have freedom. B. Some parents allow their kids no freedom. C. Kids know how to live independently. D. Kids have a dull routine every day 9. In the opinion of the author, ________ . A. it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone B. kids should focus on the school work C. parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends D. good friendships between kids harm their school work 10. How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A. Angry B. Lucky C. Disappointed D. Calm 11. The author hopes to have her door locked in order to________. A. keep her father from reading her dairy B. stop thieves from going in C. protect herself from any harm D. prevent her mother entering her room D British chip maker Walkers is being flooded with mail deliveries of its own packaging. An online petition (请愿) with more than 312,000 signatures so far encourages those who signed to mail their empty chip plastic bags to Walkers as an act of protest against the bags’ non-recyclable design. As petition organizer Geraint Ashcroft explained the majority of chip packets, made from plastic coated with metal, are not recyclable and have been found fully undamaged up to 33 years after consumption. The UK alone consumes 6 billion bags of chips a year, and Walkers turns out 11 million bags daily. Ashcroft wrote, “At today’s consumption rate in 33 years’ time, there will be 200 billion packets either sent to landfill or polluting our oceans. Many will be eaten by fish or birds, leading to a slow death.” Mailing the bags to Walkers is a way to hold the company accountable for its packaging and to pressure it to come up with a better design. But it is controversial. Because the Royal Mail postal service isn’t happy about the sudden inflow of packages, asking people calm down to help with ease of delivery. Critics on Twitter also question the logic of buying a product in order to protest against its producer and suggest that giving up chips altogether would improve one’s health as well as the environment. Walkers issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it will make its packaging plastic-free by 2025. “We have received some returned packets and recognized the efforts being made to bring the issue of packaging waste to our attention. The returned packets will be used in our research as we work towards our commitment of improving the recyclability of our packaging.” 12. Why do people mail their empty chip bags to Walkers? A. To make Walkers use them once more. B. To exchange them for some new chips. C. To oppose Walkers’ plastic packaging. D. To appeal to people not to use the bags. 13.

One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain, which isn’t very high. And fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task. Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony. He decided to walk slowly up to the mountain. Considering his personal safety, Tony had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons’ one step. He often had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them. Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons were not focused on him at all. Instead, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk and all that they had seen and heard along the way up. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, “Grandpa, here is a special plant. Come and have a look.” 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。 Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1-5 ABCCB 6-10 BAACA 11-15 BACAC 16-20 BBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
