People can enjoy various themed art exhibitions here. Opening time: 8:30 — 18:00 Beijing: Sanyuanli Market An interest in cooking is likely to be inspired by wandering through this market in Chaoyang district, Beijing.

There are also various semi-finished produce and cooked food. Opening time: 7:00 — 18:30 Harbin: Daoli Food Market Daoli Food Market, founded in 1902, is one of the thirteen major markets in China. This two-floor outlet covers 130,000 square meters and it takes half a day to fully explore what it has to offer.

People can enjoy various themed art exhibitions here(游客购买的新鲜农产品在二楼加工，而三楼已改造成一个艺术展厅，配有高大的玻璃纤维窗户，阳光充足。人们可以在这里欣赏各种主题的艺术展览)”可知， Jianguomen Market与其他市场的不同之处在于人们可以在三楼看到很多艺术展览。故选 B 项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据对 Sanyuanli Market 的描述“it offers a wide range of fresh vegetables, meat and fruit, and specialty ingredients from around the world.(它提供了来自世界各地的各种各样的新鲜蔬菜、肉类、水果和特色食材)”以及对 Wuzhong Market 的介绍“Many locals’ favorite food, ranging from Chongming rice from Shanghai, Zhoushan seafood from Zhejiang province, mushrooms from Yunnan province, and some tropical fruits from Southeast Asia, can be found here(在这里可以找到许多当地人喜爱的食物，从上海的崇明大米、浙江的舟山海鲜、云南的蘑菇，到一些来自东南亚的热带水果)”可知，Sanyuanli Market 和 Wuzhong Market 的共同之处在于它们都出售来自国外的水果。故选 A 项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Located at the eastern end of the city wall in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, Jianguomen Market has a history of more than 20 years.(位于陕西省西安市城墙东端的建国门市场已有20多年的历史)”、第三段“Established in 1992, it offers a wide range of fresh vegetables, meat and fruit, and specialty ingredients from around the world. (成立于1992年，提供各种新鲜蔬菜、肉类和水果，以及来自世界各地的特色食材)”、第四段“Wuzhong Market has a history of two or three decades, during which it has undergone many transformations. (五中市场有二三十年的历史，期间经历了许多变化。)”和第五段“Daoli Food Market, founded in 1902, is one of the thirteen major markets in China. (道里食品市场成立于1902年，是中国十三大市场之一。)”可知，道里食品市场是这四个市场中历史最悠久的，故选D项。 B Adams Cassinga has had many identities: Refugee (难民). Journalist. Mining consultant. And now defender of wildlife. He fights for wildlife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). As a child, he was attracted by animals — gorillas lived in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the DRC — but his path to conservation was circuitous (曲折的). In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Cassinga looked down on the green canonpy (树冠) near Garamba National Park. There were armed groups, poachers (偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. In 2017, four years after Conserv Congo was first registered, Cassinga made his first arrest, working alongside the authorities. The non-profit now has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of rare animals. “If we want our children to see these animals, we have to do it,” Cassinga says. “Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours.” Today, Conserv Congo has a renewable five-year partnership with the state environmental agency, Congo Institute for Nature Conservation(ICCN), which is in the charge of the environment ministry. Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to turn them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love.” he says. 24. Why was Cassinga’s journey to be a conservator so winding? A. He was attracted by animals when he was a child. B. He was forced to be a defender of wildlife. C. He changed his jobs for many times before. D. He couldn’t go back to his country because of war. 25. What made Cassinga start Conserv Congo? A. He wanted to protect wildlife in the country. B. He wanted to realize his dream as a boss. C. He wanted to work with police officers and politicians. D. He wanted to turn people into nature lovers. 26. Which of the following can best describe Cassinga’s personality? A. Careful and brave. B. Easygoing and cautious. C. Determined and responsible. D. Generous and kind. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. Illegal groups in the DRC killed rare animals. B. Adams Cassinga and rare animals in the DRC. C. Conserv Congo worked on criminal cases. D. Adams Cassinga, a fighter for wildlife in the DRC. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Adams Cassinga的生活经历和他作为刚果民主共和国（DRC）野生动物保护者的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. (在20世纪90年代中期，内战将他送往南非，在那里他一度为生存而挣扎。后来他在新闻界找到了工作，然后在采矿业找到了工作。)”可知，Cassinga 在成为保护者之前曾多次更换工作，故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“There were armed groups, poachers(偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. (在该国的公园里，有武装团体、偷猎者和黑市贩子活动。然后他决定改变方向。因此，在2013年，他成立了Conserv Congo，这是一个由卧底调查员组成的团队——包括警官、政客和学生——他们追踪野生动物犯罪。)”可知，Cassinga看到有人偷猎野生动物后决定成立Conserv Congo以保护野生动物，故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours. (其他人是作为他们工作的一部分来的，但保护我们的东西不是他们的责任。)”以及第五段“Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to turn them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love” he says. (Cassinga非常重视赢得与他一起工作的警察的心和思想：“他们需要了解我们这么做背后的原因。我们必须把他们变成自然爱好者。他们只能保护他们所知道和爱的东西。”他说。)”可知，Cassinga认为保护野生动物是人们的责任，而且他认为只有让警察们爱上自然才能让他们去保护自然，可以推理出Cassinga是一个有责任心的人，故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“Adams Cassinga has had many identities: Refugee (难民). Journalist. Mining consultant. And now defender of wildlife. He fights for wildlife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). (Adams Cassinga有很多身份：难民。记者。矿业顾问。现在是野生动物的保护者。他在刚果民主共和国为野生动物而战。)”可知这篇文章主要讲述了Adams Cassinga在刚果民主共和国为野生动物而战的故事，故选D项。 C Starship Technologies originated in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco. The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses. Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Currently, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1,000 robots. This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet. Starship states that it has done over 1.5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014. The company has raised $102 million so far, including $17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year. Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to identify objects in the way and help guide it to its destination. The robots have a delivery area of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car. And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings. Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex. Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods. There are even some newly produced robots like Nuro, which has made what can be best described as a mini-robotic car, and others that fall somewhere in between. All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements. Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants. 28. What do we know about Starship Technologies from Paragraph 1? A. It operates globally. B. It employs university students as designers. C. It is spreading its service on campuses. D. It is diversifying into the field of scientific education. 29. Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots? A. They are likely to get lost. B. They work much slower than men. C. They have difficulty going up stairs. D They are unable to identify customers. 30. What does the underlined word “brave” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. New. B. Efficient. C. Conventional. D. Courageous. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future demand for robot delivery? A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Worried. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Starship Technologies公司的配送机器人业务，包括其在大学校园的运营情况、机器人的特点以及配送机器人市场的现状和未来发展趋势。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.(Starship还在其运营领域增加了四所新学校:伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、肯塔基大学、内华达大学和安柏瑞德航空大学)”可知，Starship Technologies正在扩展其在校园中的服务。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings.(它们可以爬到路边，但不能爬楼梯，这可能会限制它们对住在高层建筑里的顾客的吸引力)”可知，高层建筑里的人对快递机器人不感兴趣的原因是：它们上楼有困难。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句子“Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex.(在美国，通过机器人送货仍然相对brave。有几家初创公司在运营大小不一的送货机器人，从Udelv这样的全尺寸小型货车到Amazon和Yandex等几乎与Starship类似的机器人，应有尽有)”可知，通过机器人进行配送在美国仍然是相对较新的尝试，有一些初创公司正在运营不同大小的配送机器人，这说明“brave”在此处意味着“新的”。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants.(自疫情爆发以来，对送货机器人的需求有所上升，但随着经济重新开放，依赖餐馆外卖的人越来越少，这种需求是否会持续下去还有待观察)”可推知，作者很客观地看待人们对快递机器人行业的未来需求。故选B。 D Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play, psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called “Why Don’t You — Yes But”, which remains one of the most annoying aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don’t want a solution; they want to be validated (认可) in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can “win” the game — dismissing every suggestion until interlocutor (对话者) gives up in annoyance — they get to feel pleasurably righteous (正当的) in their anger and excused from any obligation to change. Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy (谬误). When you’re feeling hard done by — taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a stupid boss — it’s easy to become attached to the position that it’s not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there’s a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility. Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as “over-validation”. For one thing, you’ll be spared further complaining, since the other person’s motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you’re confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The concept that they’re utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic, not to mention rather annoying — so they’re prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things. “And then, sometimes, something magical might happen, ” Gotlieb writes. The other person “might realize she’s not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels. ” Avoiding responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison; whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing. 32. What is the characteristic of a chronic complainer, according to Eric Berne? A. They are angry about their ill treatment and feel bitter towards whoever tries to help. B. They are habitually unhappy and endlessly find fault with people around them. C. They constantly dismiss others’ proposals while taking no responsibility for dealing with the problem. D. They lack the basic skills required for successful conversations with others. 33. What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one’s doorstep? A. People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others’ mistakes. B. It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one’s own fault. C. People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices. D. A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault. 34. What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers? A. Stop them from going further by agreeing with them. B. Listen to their complaints attentively and sympathetically. C. Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence. D. Persuade them to clarify the confusion they caused. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. What is the responsibility/fault fallacy for chronic complainers? B. How can you avoid dangerous traps in everyday social life? C. Who are chronic complainers and how to deal with them? D. Why should we stop being a chronic complainer and assume responsibility? 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分在于他们混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed.(采用这种策略的人通常是一个长期抱怨者。他们的关系、工作或其他情况有些糟糕，他们不停地抱怨，但却找借口拒绝任何提出的解决方案)”可知，长期的抱怨者会一直拒绝他人的解决方案，不停地抱怨却不负责解决问题。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility.(例如，如果我在家门口发现一个新生儿，这不是我的错，但肯定是我的责任)”和“The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.(问题的关键在于，在所有情况下，门口的婴儿都是真实的：即使另一方100%是错的，从长远来看，以此作为逃避责任的理由是没有任何好处的)”可知，在家门口发现新生儿的例子说明了错误不在自己，但仍需负起责任，不能因为不是自己的错误就逃避负责任。作者举这个例子是为了说明错误和责任之间有明显的区别，不能混为一谈。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it.(如果你发现自己是这种抱怨的接受者，有一个聪明的方法可以让它停止——那就是同意它)”可知，面对长期的抱怨者，让他们停止抱怨的方法就是赞同他们。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分他们在于混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。由此可知，C项“谁是长期抱怨者？如何处理他们？”符合文章大意，对应了文中对长期抱怨者的描述以及提出的解决方法，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective. ____36____ They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health. If you’re ready for your fault, here are four key s to apologizing well. 1. ____37____ Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness. “What we found is that people usually tend to offer an apology as soon as possible,” she says. “It’s an effort to shut the whole incident down. You can’t deliver an effective apology until the injured person believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it’s not going to be seen as sincere.” 2. Accept responsibility. Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault? ____38____ “But I like to encourage people to really focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that they’re responsible for.” Schumann says. Calling attention to the fact that we’re also hurt is normal, but save it for later on in the conversation. 3. Be clear about how you plan to repair things. One of the core elements of an apology is making reparations. That will be possible in a direct way: You broke their favorite wineglass? Buy them a new one. Spilled coffee on their new dress? Pay for the dry cleaning. ____39____ It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future. 4. Don’t expect forgiveness. An apology is a starting point. Particularly with severe faults, the person wronged will often need time and space to heal. Schumann suggests saying like this: “I understand this isn’t going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you’re not ready to forgive me, ____40____ ” A. Don’t rush into it. B. Start with specific words. C. it’s important not to pressure them. D. That’s exactly the problem many people struggle with. E. you’re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward. F. Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward. G. But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. D 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章大意是讲述了道歉的重要性和如何有效地进行道歉，包括四个关键步骤：不要急于道歉、承担责任、清晰地说明你打算如何修复问题、以及不要期待立即被原谅。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective.(道歉是我们如何与他人和平相处的方式，但我们很少有人知道如何做好这一点——而不是防御性地。同样常见的是，出于害怕道歉会让人不舒服或无效，道歉根本不会发生。)”以及下文“They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health.(它们有助于巩固关系和修复信任，这两者都可以降低压力并改善心理健康。)”可知，真诚的道歉对双方都有好处，与G项“But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it.(但是，真诚的道歉给传递信息的人和接收信息的人都带来了一系列好处。)”表达的含义一致，下文中的“they”指代G项中的“sincere apologies”。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness.(社会心理学家辛迪·汉茨说，道歉晚一点比早一点好，她研究了时机如何影响道歉的有效性。)”可知，道歉应该讲究时机，不要急于一时，与A项“Don’t rush into it.(不要急于求成。)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault?(如果你们都有错，你为什么要道歉呢？)”可知，对于双方都有错的情况为什么需要道歉，这是很多人都纠结的问题，与D项“That’s exactly the problem many people struggle with.(这正是许多人纠结的问题。)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future.(让对方听到这种情况不会继续下去是很重要的……他们可以相信你会在未来改进你的行为。)”可知，有时候道歉是为了考虑未来的关系，与F项“Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward.(有时候你无法修复已经发生的事情，但你可以考虑未来的关系。)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“I understand this isn’t going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you’re not ready to forgive me,(我明白这并不能解决所有问题，我想继续尽我所能来弥补我的错误。我希望即使你没有准备好原谅我，)”可知，希望对方愿意与自己一起努力，让关系向前发展，与E项“you’re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward.(你愿意与我一起努力，让我们能够向前发展。)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（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。 I believe one person can be a change.

Where 57. an 58. its 59. demanding 60. before 61. mastering 62. variety 63 has accompanied 64. Unlike 65. truly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宣纸，主要包括其特性、制作原料与工艺和独特价值。 【56题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：“宣纸”一词最早出现在张彦远的《历代名画记》一书中。空处引导名词性从句作主语，结合“in On Famous Paintings through the Ages”可知，从句中缺少地点状语，空处需表达“何处”，应用连接副词where作引导词，且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Where。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在这本书中，他将宣纸描述为书画的一种理想载体。空处表示泛指，意为“一种理想载体”，应用不定冠词，且ideal的发音以元音音素开头，应用an。故填an。 【58题详解】 考查代词。句意：安徽省泾县的手工宣纸因其质量上乘而被列为贡品。空处修饰best quality，应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：制作宣纸的要求非常高。空处作表语，demand的形容词形式demanding符合题意，意为“要求高的，苛刻的”。故填demanding。 【60题详解】 考查时间状语从句。句意：檀香皮和稻草经过3年时间，经过108道工序，才能变成精致的宣纸。空处前后均为完整的句子，空后变成精致的宣纸的行为发生在后，空前经过108道工序的行为发生在前，因此空处应用意为“在……之前”的从属连词before，引导时间状语从句。故填before。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：即使对最熟练的工匠来说，掌握所有的步骤也是不可能的。空处和空后的all the steps搭配，作句子的主语，是非谓语，且此处介绍的是一件已知的经验，因此应用master“掌握”的动名词形式。故填mastering。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：在造纸过程中，树皮与稻草的不同比例可以创造出各种最适合绘画或书法艺术表现的画布。根据“a”和“of canvases”可知，此处用固定短语a variety of表示“各种各样的”。故填variety。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。宣纸伴随中国诗人几千年的历史。空处作句子的谓语，结合时间状语“for thousands of years”可知，时态应用现在完成时，且主语Xuan paper为单数，助动词用has。故填has accompanied。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：不像其他形式纸，它能抵抗时间带来的损坏。根据“other forms of paper”可知，此处是把宣纸和其他形式的纸比较，突出宣纸的特点，指“不像其他形式的纸”，空处应用介词unlike“不像，和……不同”，且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Unlike。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：宣纸确实是造纸的巅峰。空处修饰be动词is，true的副词形式truly符合题意，意为“确实”。故填truly。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华。你校将于下周六举行“我的拿手菜（My Special Recipe）”大赛，并举办健康饮食讲座。你的留学生朋友Jackson对中国饮食很感兴趣，请你用英语写一封email邀请他参加此次活动。内容包括以下要点： 1. 活动时间和地点； 2. 活动的内容和意义。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jackson, Our school will hold a cooking competition next Saturday, which is titled “My Special Recipe”.

I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person. I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside. After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby. Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two?” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me?” he said. Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “this is for you and your family,” he said, “Merry Christmas!” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food! Daddy read the letter from the envelope. “May you be happy!” Paragraph 2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today,” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude, we had a happy Christmas. Not long after the festival, Daddy was called back to work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家里不富裕，由于姐姐生病和爸爸被解雇交不起电费被停电。作者和妈妈亲自去交电费，在商场见到了圣诞老人，圣诞老人和作者交谈后又和妈妈交谈，还在本上记录了些东西。圣诞节早上我们聚在圣诞树下，没有玩具也没有礼物。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：突然响起了敲门声，所以下文应该写谁来了，发生了什么事。是有人送来了一箱食物和一封信。第二段开头是：妈妈和爸爸对视了一下，她从盒子里打开了食物。本段应该写一家人看到了什么和节日后得到了哪些救济。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：had a chance , went wide , With gratitude, recovered from 等词语。Inside was an envelope and a lot of food!运用了倒装句；I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.运用了定语从句。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武安一中2024——2025学年第一学期10月期中考试 高二英语 第Ⅰ卷（共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman hurry to do?

B Adams Cassinga has had many identities: Refugee (难民). Journalist. Mining consultant. And now defender of wildlife. He fights for wildlife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). As a child, he was attracted by animals — gorillas lived in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the DRC — but his path to conservation was circuitous (曲折的). In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Cassinga looked down on the green canonpy (树冠) near Garamba National Park. There were armed groups, poachers (偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. In 2017, four years after Conserv Congo was first registered, Cassinga made his first arrest, working alongside the authorities. The non-profit now has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of rare animals. “If we want our children to see these animals, we have to do it,” Cassinga says. “Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours.” Today, Conserv Congo has a renewable five-year partnership with the state environmental agency, Congo Institute for Nature Conservation(ICCN), which is in the charge of the environment ministry. Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to turn them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love.” he says. 24. Why was Cassinga’s journey to be a conservator so winding? A. He was attracted by animals when he was a child. B. He was forced to be a defender of wildlife. C. He changed his jobs for many times before. D. He couldn’t go back to his country because of war. 25. What made Cassinga start Conserv Congo? A. He wanted to protect wildlife in the country. B He wanted to realize his dream as a boss. C. He wanted to work with police officers and politicians. D. He wanted to turn people into nature lovers. 26. Which of the following can best describe Cassinga’s personality? A. Careful and brave. B. Easygoing and cautious. C. Determined and responsible. D. Generous and kind. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A Illegal groups in the DRC killed rare animals. B. Adams Cassinga and rare animals in the DRC. C. Conserv Congo worked on criminal cases. D. Adams Cassinga, a fighter for wildlife in the DRC. C Starship Technologies originated in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco. The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses. Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Currently, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1,000 robots. This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet. Starship states that it has done over 1.5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014. The company has raised $102 million so far, including $17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year. Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to identify objects in the way and help guide it to its destination. The robots have a delivery area of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car. And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings. Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex. Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods. There are even some newly produced robots like Nuro, which has made what can be best described as a mini-robotic car, and others that fall somewhere in between. All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements. Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants. 28. What do we know about Starship Technologies from Paragraph 1? A. It operates globally. B. It employs university students as designers. C. It is spreading its service on campuses. D. It is diversifying into the field of scientific education. 29. Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots? A. They are likely to get lost. B. They work much slower than men. C. They have difficulty going up stairs. D. They are unable to identify customers. 30. What does the underlined word “brave” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. New. B. Efficient. C. Conventional. D. Courageous. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future demand for robot delivery? A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Worried. D Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play, psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called “Why Don’t You — Yes But”, which remains one of the most annoying aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don’t want a solution; they want to be validated (认可) in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can “win” the game — dismissing every suggestion until interlocutor (对话者) gives up in annoyance — they get to feel pleasurably righteous (正当的) in their anger and excused from any obligation to change. Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy (谬误). When you’re feeling hard done by — taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a stupid boss — it’s easy to become attached to the position that it’s not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there’s a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility. Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as “over-validation”. For one thing, you’ll be spared further complaining, since the other person’s motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you’re confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The concept that they’re utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic, not to mention rather annoying — so they’re prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things. “And then, sometimes, something magical might happen, ” Gotlieb writes. The other person “might realize she’s not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels. ” Avoiding responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison; whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing. 32. What is the characteristic of a chronic complainer, according to Eric Berne? A. They are angry about their ill treatment and feel bitter towards whoever tries to help. B. They are habitually unhappy and endlessly find fault with people around them. C. They constantly dismiss others’ proposals while taking no responsibility for dealing with the problem. D. They lack the basic skills required for successful conversations with others. 33. What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one’s doorstep? A. People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others’ mistakes. B. It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one’s own fault. C. People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices. D. A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault. 34. What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers? A. Stop them from going further by agreeing with them. B. Listen to their complaints attentively and sympathetically. C. Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence. D. Persuade them to clarify the confusion they caused. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. What is the responsibility/fault fallacy for chronic complainers? B. How can you avoid dangerous traps in everyday social life? C. Who are chronic complainers and how to deal with them? D. Why should we stop being a chronic complainer and assume responsibility? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective. ____36____ They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health. If you’re ready for your fault, here are four key s to apologizing well. 1. ____37____ Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness. “What we found is that people usually tend to offer an apology as soon as possible,” she says. “It’s an effort to shut the whole incident down. You can’t deliver an effective apology until the injured person believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it’s not going to be seen as sincere.” 2. Accept responsibility. Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault? ____38____ “But I like to encourage people to really focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that they’re responsible for.” Schumann says. Calling attention to the fact that we’re also hurt is normal, but save it for later on in the conversation. 3. Be clear about how you plan to repair things. One of the core elements of an apology is making reparations. That will be possible in a direct way: You broke their favorite wineglass? Buy them a new one. Spilled coffee on their new dress? Pay for the dry cleaning. ____39____ It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future. 4. Don’t expect forgiveness. An apology is a starting point. Particularly with severe faults, the person wronged will often need time and space to heal. Schumann suggests saying like this: “I understand this isn’t going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you’re not ready to forgive me, ____40____ ” A. Don’t rush into it. B. Start with specific words. C. it’s important not to pressure them. D. That’s exactly the problem many people struggle with. E. you’re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward. F. Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward. G. But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it. 第三部分 英语知识运用（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。 I believe one person can be a change.

I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person. I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside. After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby. Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two?” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me?” he said. Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
