(城市公园青少年高尔夫中心位于布鲁克林湾岭的戴克海滩公共高尔夫球场旁边，是一个最先进的设施，为纽约市7-17岁的儿童提供免费的高尔夫指导。)”可知，高尔夫课程对学习者是免费的。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Wheelchair Flag Football部分中“Some fall flag football leagues have adaptive divisions for people with disabilities. These include opportunities for children and adults. (一些秋季的旗式足球联盟为有残疾的人设有适应性部门。这些包括儿童和成人的机会。)”可知，这是为残疾儿童和成人设计的。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Sessions run from December to February in the winter and July to August in the summer. (冬季的课程从12月到2月，夏季的课程从7月到8月。)”可知，街头曲棍球项目在两个季节进行。故选C。 B James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 24. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________. A. his difficulty in paying his rent B. his boredom of the retiring life C. his desire to continue his career D. his ambition to improve himself 25. What did the three kids do for James Gailey? A. Finding him a job at campus B. Giving him support for work. C. Raising money on the website. D. Turning to the school principle. 26. How did Yusko feel after the campaign ? A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Regretful. D. Confused. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. A good turn deserves another. C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. A small act can make a difference. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章的体裁为记叙文。通过讲述老人詹姆斯·盖利因无法支付房租而不得不重返工作岗位的故事，揭示了三名学生发起的筹款活动给他带来的帮助以及小善举所能带来的影响。文章通过这一真实事件展现了爱与帮助的力量，强调了小事可以产生积极的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. (尽管盖利没有打算重新投入工作，但当他的每月房租涨价了400美元时，他别无选择。因为他支付不起这笔费用，“詹姆斯先生”就回到当地学校重新开始做学校清洁工。)”可知，他的月租金提高了400美元，他无法承担。因为他无法支付房租，别无选择，盖利重返工作。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. (格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·提德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事。) ”和第四段“When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. (当学生开始这项运动时，他们的目标是为盖利筹集一些额外的钱以帮助解决他的租金问题。) ”表明格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·蒂德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事，在网站上为詹姆斯·盖利筹集资金帮助解决他的房租问题。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” (“看到这样的事情真是太疯狂了。我们知道人们会想要帮助，”尤斯科说，“我们没想到会爆炸般的发展。”) ”表明募捐活动的效果超出预期，让尤斯科感到惊讶。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. (詹姆斯先生表示他准备重新退休。)”表明三名学生发起筹款活动的小举动对詹姆斯先生的生活产生了重大影响，年迈的詹姆斯先生不需要工作了，可以过上退休生活。说明即使是小小的善举也能产生积极影响。故选D项。 C Ponds are a rich source of biodiversity, providing natural environments for many rare and endangered species, including plants, insects, birds and bats. Ponds show far greater variation than rivers and streams. Yet, for a century or so, ponds have been ignored by scientists. Why have we overlooked such a significant part of the natural world? A key reason appears to be the cognitive bias (认知偏见) where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. Rather than study ponds, biologists in the past typically headed for the largest lake or river they could find. Most of us also devalue ponds because we assume they are human-made habitats and don’t realize that these waters have a deeply ancient origin. Ponds have clearly existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water and the geological record shows they have been a long-lasting presence. Ignoring ponds within science has had a big impact on our ability to protect their wildlife. It has created a world view in which policy-makers can simply ignore the big networks of ponds that make up so much of the global water environment. In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares. Fortunately, views are changing. Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a resolution (决议) on small wetlands, including ponds, giving more recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDERFUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds. However, if we want to make use of the biodiversity power that ponds offer, there remains much to do. In a world where fresh water faces big challenges, creating and protecting ponds provides a ray of hope: a piece of natural ecological engineering we can easily achieve to help support biodiversity. 28. What can be learned about ponds from paragraph 1? A. They are difficult to research. B. They fail to get due attention. C. They are too small to support wildlife. D. They have greater importance than rivers. 29. What does the cognitive bias assume? A. Ponds are short-lived. B. Rivers are fully-developed. C. Small things are unimportant. D. Natural habitats are unnoticed. 30. Why is the Water Framework Directive mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To solve a problem. B. To present a fact. C. To prove a point. D. To make a comparison. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Exploring ponds has a long way to go. B. Ecological diversity is easy to realize. C. Fresh water supply can meet our needs. D. Building ponds can promote economy. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了池塘是生物多样性的重要来源，为许多稀有和濒危的物种提供了自然环境，但是，长久以来，池塘一直被忽视。因此，人们需要改变对池塘的认知偏见，对池塘投入研究，才能发挥池塘的生物多样性力量。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段末尾句内容“Yet, for a century or so, ponds have been ignored by scientists.(然而，大约一个世纪以来，池塘一直被科学家们所忽视。)”可知，大约一个世纪以来，池塘一直都被科学家们所忽视，即，它们没有得到应有的重视。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“A key reason appears to be the cognitive bias where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important.(一个关键原因似乎是认知偏见，我们认为如果某物很小，就不可能那么重要。)”可知，认知偏见认为“小的事物不重要”。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。分析前后文语境可知，该内容的前一句“It has created a world view in which policy-makers can simply ignore the big networks of ponds that make up so much of the global water environment.(它创造了一种世界观，在这种世界观中，政策制定者可以简单地忽略构成全球水环境很大一部分的大型池塘网络。)”提出一个论点“政策制定者可以简单地忽略构成全球水环境很大一部分的大型池塘网络”，然后用“In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares.(例如，在欧洲，《水框架指令》大多排除了任何小于50公顷的水体。)”这一政府官方文件进行了举例证明。由此可推知，提及《水框架指令》是为了证明论点。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段落内容“However, if we want to make use of the biodiversity power that ponds offer, there remains much to do.(然而，如果我们想要利用池塘提供的生物多样性力量，还有很多事情要做。)”可知，要想利用池塘的生物多样性力量，还需要投入大量的研究。由此可推知，作者暗示“探索池塘还有很长的路要走。”故选A项。 D We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help. Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep disruption than electronics that aren’t interactive. Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening. Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. After reviewing them at Reviewed, we recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises and soundscapes to help you get to sleep. 32. What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Set aside. B. Pick up. C. Show off. D. Turn to. 33. What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin? A. Relaxing yourself before bedtime. B. Sleeping less than you normally would. C. Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily. D. Reducing the pressure from screen use. 34. Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommended? A. It is sold at a lower price. B. It can predict a heavy rain. C It is controlled by cellphone. D. It helps put your eyes together. 35. What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5? A. Making the best of the eco-friendly products. B. Making a change according to circumstances. C. Establishing a bedtime routine without electronics. D. Keeping a consistent bedtime and wake-up time. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现，睡前使用电子产品，蓝光会抑制人体褪黑素的合成。褪黑素被抑制会让人迟迟无法入睡，从而减少正常睡眠时间，并给出一些减少睡前使用电子产品的建议。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. (我们知道在上床睡觉前把手机放下是很困难的。)”提到上床睡觉前放下手机对于人们来说是不容易做到的，同时结合该句语境可推知，手机对睡眠是有影响的。因此，想改善睡眠，提高睡眠质量应是将手机放下，即划线单词所在句表达的含义。由此推知，短语“ditch your phone”应是“放下手机”含义，那么“ditch”应是“放下，搁置在一边”含义。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. (晚上释放褪黑素可以帮助你在睡前放松。)”可知，夜间褪黑素的产生有利于人的睡眠，由此可推断出，褪黑素受到抑制会影响人的睡眠，从而使得人们的睡眠时间少于平时的睡眠时间。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. (这款闹钟不仅可以很容易地设置起床时间，还能发出白噪音和雨声来帮助你入睡，还有很多音量设置，让你选择最适合自己的。)”可知，“the Sharp Dream Caster”可轻松设置起床时间，可有白噪音和雨声助眠功能，且可设置适合自己的音量，因此可知，推荐它是因为它有助于人的睡眠。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. (更进一步，避免使用电子设备。你可以试着读一本书（纸做的），洗个澡或者喝杯洋甘菊茶。)”及后面所列举的事例可知，睡觉之前避免使用电子产品，可以看纸质书或洗个澡或喝杯洋甘菊茶，这些有助于睡眠。由此可推知，为了更好的睡眠，可以建立一个没有电子设备的就寝程序。故选C项。 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。 Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter. ____36____ Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more, it becomes a normal thing. Don’t just reread. ____37____ Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it. Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. ____38____ On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier! Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. ____39____ Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____40____ In a study students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had. As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.” A. Make a budget and save it. B. Make a plan and stick to it. C. The same should go for learning. D. However, not all can apply to students. E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value. F. Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students. G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了高效学习的几个方法。 【36题详解】 根据下文“Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. (许多学生知道别人对自己的期望，然而却不能提前谋划)”，结合空格的位置以及接下来的段落信息可知，此处为段落标题，讲述学习方法之一：制定计划。选项B.

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this final and key point, Jatin struggled to jump to his feet and ran as fast as he could, though it was so painful for him. Eventually, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jatin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest. Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Neha, see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. “Thank you! Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jatin和他的妹妹Neha和他们的父母住在一个贫穷的社区。一天，Jatin把Neha的鞋子带到一个鞋匠那里修理，但是他在回家的路上把鞋子弄丢了。他担心他的父母会生气和失望。所以他求妹妹保守秘密。城市将为男孩们举行一场长跑比赛。当Jatin得知三等奖是一双新鞋时，他决定参加。当比赛终点线临近时，另一名选手从后面与Jatin相撞，Jatin摔倒在地，但最终获得鞋子的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jatin抬起头来，看见其他男孩都冲在前面。”可知，第一段可描写Jatin尽可能快地跑，并且最终获得鞋子。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jatin满心欢喜，很快就走回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Jatin拿着获得的新鞋子回家给妹妹。 2.续写线索：拒绝放弃——尽可能快地跑——冲过终点线——获得第三名——赢得鞋子——满心欢喜地回家——与妹妹分享消息——拿出鞋子给妹妹——兄妹相拥 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/ reject/ turn down ②抽泣：sob/ cry/ weep ③拥抱：hug/ embrace 情绪类 ①痛苦的：painful/ miserable ②非常高兴的：overjoyed/ delighted ③高兴：joy/ delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Refusing to give up at this final and key point, Jatin struggled to jump to his feet and ran as fast as he could, though it was so painful for him.（运用了现在分词作状语和though引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型2] But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize.（运用了省略了引导词that的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句以及because引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度 崇阳县第二高级中学高二年级第一阶段测试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答:每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the woman do last night?

B James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 24. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________.

A small act can make a difference. C Ponds are a rich source of biodiversity, providing natural environments for many rare and endangered species, including plants, insects, birds and bats. Ponds show far greater variation than rivers and streams. Yet, for a century or so, ponds have been ignored by scientists. Why have we overlooked such a significant part of the natural world? A key reason appears to be the cognitive bias (认知偏见) where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. Rather than study ponds, biologists in the past typically headed for the largest lake or river they could find. Most of us also devalue ponds because we assume they are human-made habitats and don’t realize that these waters have a deeply ancient origin. Ponds have clearly existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water and the geological record shows they have been a long-lasting presence. Ignoring ponds within science has had a big impact on our ability to protect their wildlife. It has created a world view in which policy-makers can simply ignore the big networks of ponds that make up so much of the global water environment. In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares. Fortunately, views are changing. Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a resolution (决议) on small wetlands, including ponds, giving more recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDERFUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds. However, if we want to make use of the biodiversity power that ponds offer, there remains much to do. In a world where fresh water faces big challenges, creating and protecting ponds provides a ray of hope: a piece of natural ecological engineering we can easily achieve to help support biodiversity. 28. What can be learned about ponds from paragraph 1? A. They are difficult to research. B. They fail to get due attention. C. They are too small to support wildlife. D. They have greater importance than rivers. 29. What does the cognitive bias assume? A. Ponds are short-lived. B. Rivers are fully-developed. C. Small things are unimportant. D. Natural habitats are unnoticed. 30. Why is the Water Framework Directive mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To solve a problem. B. To present a fact. C. To prove a point. D. To make a comparison. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Exploring ponds has a long way to go. B. Ecological diversity is easy to realize. C. Fresh water supply can meet our needs. D. Building ponds can promote economy. D We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help. Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep disruption than electronics that aren’t interactive. Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening. Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. After reviewing them at Reviewed, we recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises and soundscapes to help you get to sleep. 32. What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A Set aside. B. Pick up. C. Show off. D. Turn to. 33. What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin? A. Relaxing yourself before bedtime. B. Sleeping less than you normally would. C. Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily. D. Reducing the pressure from screen use. 34. Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommended? A. It is sold at a lower price. B. It can predict a heavy rain. C. It is controlled by cellphone. D. It helps put your eyes together. 35. What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5? A. Making the best of the eco-friendly products. B. Making a change according to circumstances. C. Establishing a bedtime routine without electronics. D. Keeping a consistent bedtime and wake-up time. 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。 Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter. ____36____ Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more, it becomes a normal thing. Don’t just reread. ____37____ Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it. Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. ____38____ On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier! Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. ____39____ Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____40____ In a study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had. As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.” A. Make a budget and save it. B. Make a plan and stick to it. C. The same should go for learning. D. However, not all can apply to students. E. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value. F. Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students. G. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. 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 2016, I started working for the local company here in the community.

Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
