Over the years, they are hosting events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy. Bryce Canyon National Park — June 14-17 Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon, the 35,835-acre park, is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures, star stories, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by some musicians in the northern Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet. Shenandoah National Park — August 11-13 Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, the nearly 200,000-acre park will have a festival to provide an easy way to dip into astronomy. Ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures and activities for kids will be hosted. Past events also covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal creatures. Great Basin National Park — September 14-16 As one of the least crowded national parks, Great Basin National Park hosts annual fall astronomy festival with guest speakers, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark” program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive colors. Joshua Tree National Park — October 13-14 Joshua Tree National Park, the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing” for the 18 million people living in LA, hosts a night sky festival every fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with a “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to block between 70 and 80 percent of the sun. 1. What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals? A. To provide a platform to observe stars. B. To raise public interest in astronomy. C. To collect money for more observatories. D. To advocate actions against light pollution. 2. Where can you experience working in low-light conditions? A. Great Basin National Park. B. Shenandoah National Park. C. Bryce Canyon National Park. D. Joshua Tree National Park. 3. What might be a bonus if you attend Joshua Tree National Park festival this year? A. A solar eclipse. B. A stargazing tour. C. A music performance. D. An observatory tour. B Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project. Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non- profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing diverse free on- site programs in its senior communities, including novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age. The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter. Ninety- five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low- income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end. McElroy concluded, “It is a place where members are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here? ’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’” 4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities? A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the basics of novel writing. C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues. 5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean? A. Changing the aging process. B. Tasting some overseas food. C. Decorating the communities. D. Testing out various methods. 6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with? A. Seventy is the new twenty. B. A good start is half the battle. C. Never teach old dogs new tricks. D. Passion serves as a driving force. 7. Which might be the best tine for the text? A. Carpenter’s Ambitious Programs B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities C. McEtroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D. Community Is the Source of Strength C Imagine accessing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services with just a tap on your smartphone. What once required a hospital visit — often leading to long waits and considerable inconveniences, especially for the elderly — is now available at your fingertips. The innovative mini-program “Wang She Wen Shan” (Tongue Diagnosis and Dietary Guidance) is transforming TCM consultations. Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue. More than that, this AI-powered tool also provides personalized dietary and wellness recommendations. According to the mini-program’s developers, this transformation has been made possible through the seamless integration of the traditional TCM tongue diagnosis method with cutting-edge AI image recognition technology. The program has been trained on over 20,000 clinical tongue images, enabling it to provide accurate and convenient health assessments. Since July 2023, Guangzhou has been at the forefront of piloting TCM services with AI assistance. A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models. Trained by TCM doctors from local hospitals, this device has “learned” to identify users’ constitution types through facial and tongue images and provide personalized health recommendations. By October 2023, this smart device had been adopted in 11 communities across Guangzhou, serving over 12,000 residents. In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine. Despite the progress made, the integration of AI into TCM is still in its early stages. One of the primary hurdles is the lack of theoretical standardization within TCM. For the same illness, different schools and experts may recommend varying treatment plans. Another challenge lies in the integration of medical and engineering technologies. Although computer applications in TCM date back to the 1980s, early systems relied on pre-programmed standards that often fell short due to the complex nature of patient symptoms. The unpredictability and variability of these symptoms pose significant difficulties for AI’s deep learning processes. Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources. Nevertheless, as the journey is only beginning, it is crucial to acknowledge its current limitations in clinical settings. While AI offers substantial potential for TCM, accurate diagnosis still relies heavily on the expertise of physicians. AI is intended to complement — not replace — human doctors. 8. What do we know about “Wang She Wen Shan”? A. It provides invariable dietary and wellness suggestions for users. B. It requires users to take a photo of their tongue for consultation. C. It has been trained on abundant tongue images of medical staff. D. It fails to function properly without facial recognition technology. 9. What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. A glimpse of the development of AI-driven TCM innovations. B. An introduction to an AI-powered device developed by doctors. C. An insight into the potential use of AI-driven devices in TCM. D. A comparison between different AI-powered TCM innovations 10. Who might benefit most from the mini-program? A. Folks in places with few experienced doctors. B. Patients with symptoms rarely seen or reported. C. Physicians with great diagnostic capabilities. D. Senior citizens with difficulty using smart phones. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: The Future of TCM B. Doctors at Your Fingertips C. Modernized TCM with AI D. Integration of AI into Medicine D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 12. What is delayed satisfaction? A. Making quick decisions. B. Giving in to desires instantly. C. Immediate rewards for impulses. D. Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 15. What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 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。 How to Design a Small Garden Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. ____16____.

She would fix my baby dolls or help me color pretty pictures when I started elementary school. Because my dad worked far away from home, I would see my mom fix the car without caring how dirty her hands would get. Now I’m in high school. I see how she is sensitive but strong at the same time. I am old enough and ready to do something for her to help reduce the pressure of life. One day I came home from school and saw papers on the kitchen table and my mom sitting looking at my dad. My dad wasn’t working at the time because he had broken his arm. I had heard my parents talk about money issues a couple of times but I never asked about the situation before. “What’s going on?” I asked. “We have to be out of the house in two weeks,” my mom said. She had one of her hands over her forehead. Then I realized this was a serious problem. We had no money and no idea what we were going to do. I read the paper on the table; it said we had lost the house because we hadn’t been paying rent. I was surprised that all this was going on. My dad was unable to do anything about it due to unemployment. Besides the fact that we had no place to move to, we also had little to eat since the food my dad had bought the month before was running out. Even though my mom didn’t show it, I felt her pain and how much it hurt her to not be able to provide a good house and food for us. It seemed like everything was falling apart, but my mom seemed as if this was making her stronger. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the following days, my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABBBB　6-10 ABAAB　11-15 CBACC 16-20 BACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赤峰二中2023级高二上学期第一次月考 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．What does the woman think of foreign films?

Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project. Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non- profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing diverse free on- site programs in its senior communities, including novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age. The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter. Ninety- five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low- income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end. McElroy concluded, “It is a place where members are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here? ’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’” 4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities? A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the basics of novel writing. C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues. 5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean? A. Changing the aging process. B. Tasting some overseas food. C. Decorating the communities. D. Testing out various methods. 6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with? A. Seventy is the new twenty. B. A good start is half the battle. C. Never teach old dogs new tricks. D. Passion serves as a driving force. 7. Which might be the best tine for the text? A. Carpenter’s Ambitious Programs B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities C. McEtroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D. Community Is the Source of Strength 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了EngAGE组织如何通过提供各种项目使老年人的生活更加充实和活跃。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non- profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized the aging process by providing diverse free on- site programs in its senior communities, including novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows.(她的生活方式在很大程度上得益于非营利组织EngAGE的支持，该组织通过在其老年社区提供多样化的免费现场项目来重新激发老年人的生活活力，这些项目包括小说写作、戏剧表演、广播故事讲述和艺术展览等)”可知，老年人可以在EngAGE社区学习小说写作的基础知识。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything, ” said Carpenter.(“把意大利面扔到墙上一样，有些东西粘住了。我们继续这样做，几乎尝试了一切，”卡彭特说)”可知，划线部分“throwing spaghetti against the wall”是一个比喻，“把意大利面扔到墙上”如果能粘住，就表示煮好了，这里的意思是说他们尝试了很多不同的方法，看哪些能够成功地吸引和服务于老年人。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.(在Carpenter看来，退休就像大学，是一个新阶段，在这个阶段人们试图弄清楚接下来要做什么。它可以是一个起点，让人们有空闲时间去尝试不同的事物或重拾旧日的激情。这些老年人可以基于他们对某一主题的知识进行深入探索，或者从零开始。这只是某件事情的开始，而不是结束)”可知，Carpenter认为退休是一个新的开始，人们可以尝试新事物或重新拾起旧爱好，年龄并不是限制，与A项“七十岁是新的二十岁”观点一致，七十岁开始的世界和二十岁开始的世界是一样的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了非营利组织EngAGE如何通过提供各种项目使老年人的生活更加充实和活跃，让他们能够按照自己想要的方式变老，让一切变得可能。由此可知，B项“EngAGE：一个充满可能性的地方”适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。 C Imagine accessing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services with just a tap on your smartphone. What once required a hospital visit — often leading to long waits and considerable inconveniences, especially for the elderly — is now available at your fingertips. The innovative mini-program “Wang She Wen Shan” (Tongue Diagnosis and Dietary Guidance) is transforming TCM consultations. Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue. More than that, this AI-powered tool also provides personalized dietary and wellness recommendations. According to the mini-program’s developers, this transformation has been made possible through the seamless integration of the traditional TCM tongue diagnosis method with cutting-edge AI image recognition technology. The program has been trained on over 20,000 clinical tongue images, enabling it to provide accurate and convenient health assessments. Since July 2023, Guangzhou has been at the forefront of piloting TCM services with AI assistance. A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models. Trained by TCM doctors from local hospitals, this device has “learned” to identify users’ constitution types through facial and tongue images and provide personalized health recommendations. By October 2023, this smart device had been adopted in 11 communities across Guangzhou, serving over 12,000 residents. In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine. Despite the progress made, the integration of AI into TCM is still in its early stages. One of the primary hurdles is the lack of theoretical standardization within TCM. For the same illness, different schools and experts may recommend varying treatment plans. Another challenge lies in the integration of medical and engineering technologies. Although computer applications in TCM date back to the 1980s, early systems relied on pre-programmed standards that often fell short due to the complex nature of patient symptoms. The unpredictability and variability of these symptoms pose significant difficulties for AI’s deep learning processes. Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources. Nevertheless, as the journey is only beginning, it is crucial to acknowledge its current limitations in clinical settings. While AI offers substantial potential for TCM, accurate diagnosis still relies heavily on the expertise of physicians. AI is intended to complement — not replace — human doctors. 8. What do we know about “Wang She Wen Shan”? A. It provides invariable dietary and wellness suggestions for users. B. It requires users to take a photo of their tongue for consultation. C. It has been trained on abundant tongue images of medical staff. D. It fails to function properly without facial recognition technology. 9. What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. A glimpse of the development of AI-driven TCM innovations. B. An introduction to an AI-powered device developed by doctors. C. An insight into the potential use of AI-driven devices in TCM. D. A comparison between different AI-powered TCM innovations 10. Who might benefit most from the mini-program? A. Folks in places with few experienced doctors. B. Patients with symptoms rarely seen or reported. C. Physicians with great diagnostic capabilities. D. Senior citizens with difficulty using smart phones. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: The Future of TCM B. Doctors at Your Fingertips C. Modernized TCM with AI D. Integration of AI into Medicine 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI技术如何融入传统中医服务，提高医疗服务的可及性和效率，特别是在资源有限的地区。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue.(用户现在只需快速拍一张舌头的照片，就可以在两分钟内收到一份详细的健康报告。)”可知，使用“Wang She Wen Shan”应用程序时，用户需要拍摄舌头的照片来进行咨询。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容及“A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models.(来自华南理工大学的研究团队基于机器学习模型开发了一种人工智能驱动的中医体质识别设备。)”及“In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine.(此外，其他人工智能驱动的创新技术，如处方系统、脉象信号采集系统、针灸机器人和按摩机器人，也正逐步进入公共使用领域，为传统医学带来了高科技的元素。)”可知，第四段介绍了广州自2023年7月以来在试点AI辅助中医服务方面的进展，包括基于机器学习模型的中医体质识别设备、处方系统、脉象信号采集系统、针灸机器人和按摩机器人等AI驱动创新的应用情况。因此推断第四段主要概述了AI驱动的中医创新的发展情况。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources.(它对医疗资源有限的欠发达地区具有重要意义。)”可以推断，医疗资源匮乏地区的居民最有可能从该小程序中受益。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources.(无论如何，有充分的理由相信，将AI融入中医将通过提高中医的可及性和效率深刻地改变医疗保健。它对医疗资源有限的欠服务地区具有重要的潜力。)”可知，文章主要讨论了AI技术如何融入中医领域，使得中医服务更加现代化、便捷和高效，特别是在提高医疗服务的可及性和效率方面。因此，C选项“AI助力下的现代中医”适合作为本文的标题。故选C。 D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 12. What is delayed satisfaction? A. Making quick decisions. B. Giving in to desires instantly. C. Immediate rewards for impulses. D. Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 15. What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了延迟满足的重要性以及如何练习延迟满。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.(延迟满足的标准定义是延迟立即获得奖励的冲动，以便稍后获得更有利的奖励的能力。)”可知延迟满足是推迟奖励以获得更好的结果。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future.(能够延迟满足并不是最容易获得的技能。它涉及到不满意的感觉，这就是为什么对于那些还没有学会控制自己的冲动的人来说似乎是不可能的。选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，但努力遵守纪律并控制自己的冲动可能会在未来带来更大或更好的回报。)”可知，延迟满足很难获得是因为选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，是舒适的，故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation ( 诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.(《宋飞传》策略是几种有用的自我满足技巧之一，你可以用它来推迟更长时间的满足感。每一天你推迟满足感并避免诱惑，你就会把它从你的日历上划掉。几天后，这就形成了一条链。这种策略对于喜欢游戏化的人来说很有效。如果你发现维持链条运转很令人满意，你就不太可能屈服于诱惑。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了一种练习延迟满足的方法。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do.  When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens.(您是否发现自己不假思索地又回到了诱惑之中？如果是这种情况，您可以练习正念以更加了解自己所做的事情。当你发现自己在做一些不习惯的事情时，停下来一会儿。问问自己为什么要做你正在做的事情。花一些时间来分析您的感受。注意细节。每次发生这种情况时，花点时间保持正念，打断你的自动驾驶)”可知，作者建议人们练习正念来抵御诱惑，即问自己为什么要做正在做的事，分析自己的感受，由此可推知，作者建议人们专注于真正的内心需求以此来抵御诱惑，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。 How to Design a Small Garden Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. ____16____.

She would fix my baby dolls or help me color pretty pictures when I started elementary school. Because my dad worked far away from home, I would see my mom fix the car without caring how dirty her hands would get. Now I’m in high school. I see how she is sensitive but strong at the same time. I am old enough and ready to do something for her to help reduce the pressure of life. One day I came home from school and saw papers on the kitchen table and my mom sitting looking at my dad. My dad wasn’t working at the time because he had broken his arm. I had heard my parents talk about money issues a couple of times but I never asked about the situation before. “What’s going on?” I asked. “We have to be out of the house in two weeks,” my mom said. She had one of her hands over her forehead. Then I realized this was a serious problem. We had no money and no idea what we were going to do. I read the paper on the table; it said we had lost the house because we hadn’t been paying rent. I was surprised that all this was going on. My dad was unable to do anything about it due to unemployment. Besides the fact that we had no place to move to, we also had little to eat since the food my dad had bought the month before was running out. Even though my mom didn’t show it, I felt her pain and how much it hurt her to not be able to provide a good house and food for us. It seemed like everything was falling apart, but my mom seemed as if this was making her stronger. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the following days, my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: In the following days, my mom made efforts to look for a small house for rent. Every day, she went out with hope, but went back home, empty-handed. Even so, I could feel that my mother tried to hide her inner feelings, making us feel at ease. So I decided to help my mother and learned to take responsibility for my home. I started searching the Internet for cheap houses to rent. At the same time, I posted my needs online. Fortunately, my efforts paid off and a homeowner contacted me. I couldn’t wait to tell my mother this good news. Hearing this, my mom praised me for finding a suitable house online. “My dear boy, I am so happy to hear this news. You gave me a surprise,” my mom said with a relieved smile. I replied, “I’m just doing my part. You make a greater contribution to me and our family. You are the greatest mom ever!” After listening to my words, my mother hugged me tightly, with her face shining with happiness and her eyes sparkling with tears. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家庭遭遇的困境、妈妈为家庭所做的努力以及作者自己如何成长并帮助家庭解决问题等事件，展现了家庭成员之间的深厚情感和相互支持。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，妈妈努力寻找出租的小房子。”以及第二段首句内容“听到这个消息，妈妈表扬我在网上找到了合适的房子。”可知，第一段可描写作者感受到妈妈的艰辛，在网上找到了合适的房子。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到这个消息，妈妈表扬我在网上找到了合适的房子。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妈妈觉得作者为家庭做出了贡献，长大了。 2.续写线索：努力找房子却失望而归——想要帮助妈妈——网上发布需求——找到合适的房子——妈妈非常高兴——感受彼此的爱 3.词汇激活 行类 ①努力做某事：try to/make efforts to ②决定做某事：decide to do/make a decision to do ③做贡献：make a contribution to/contribute to 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted ②放松的：relieved/relaxed/eased 【点睛】【高分句型1】Even so, I could feel that my mother tried to hide her inner feelings, making us feel at ease.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】After listening to my words, my mother hugged me tightly, with her face shining with happiness and her eyes sparkling with tears.（运用了with引导的独立结构） 听力1-5 ABBBB　6-10 ABAAB　11-15 CBACC 16-20 BACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
